Dengue really Affects our Lives..

What is Dengue?
An acute, infectious tropical disease caused by any of several viruses of the genus Flavivirus. It is transmitted by mosquitoes, and characterized by high fever, rash, headache, and severe muscle and joint pain.The virus is obtained from a bite of mosquito(Aedes Aegypti) that has previously bitten an infected person. This type of mosquito is identifiable by its black and white stripes on their body. It likes to stay indoors and bite people indoor. It hides under furniture and bite people on ankle and legs. The dengue mosquito bites is painless so people might not notice they are already bitten.The mosquito spread during rainy season but bread on plastic bags and cans filled with water all year round. Just a single mosquito bite can cause the sickness. However, the virus is not contagious and cannot be transmitted from person to person. There must be the presence of mosquito as the median from person to person to transmit the disease.
How can I prevent THIS?
Unfortunately, there are no vaccines to prevent dengue or an antibiotic to treat it. We can only do preventive steps such as to avoid from mosquito bites and eliminate their habitat. In order to get rid from mosquito bites, you can put repellents on skin. Wear long sleeves shirts and long pants tucked into socks. Do not go to populated place and watery area. You can also use mosquito nets in sleeping.
How can I Protect THIS FROM MY COMMUNITY?
To eliminate mosquito breeding area, clean your surroundings. Remove containers that can collect rain or run-off water such as tires, broken pales and basins. Regularly change water in the aquariums and flower vase. Do not store water on open container and cover tank or any water storage to prevent access from mosquito. Eliminate stagnant water. Use insecticide to kill mosquitoes. Remember, prevention is better than cure.

Music

What Is Music?

The word music comes from the Greek mousikê (tekhnê) by way of the Latin musica. It is ultimately derived from mousa, the Greek word for muse. In ancient Greece, the wordmousike was used to mean any of the arts or sciences governed by the Muses. Later, in Rome, ars musica embraced poetry as well as instrument-oriented music. In the EuropeanMiddle Ages, musica was part of the mathematical quadrivium: arithmetics, geometry, astronomy and musica. The concept of musica was split into four major kinds by the fifth century philosopher, Boethius: musica universalis, musica humana, musica instrumentalis, and musica divina. Of those, only musica instrumentalis referred to music as performed sound.Musical universalis or musica mundana referred to the order of the universe, as God had created it in "measure, number and weight". The proportions of the spheres of the planets and stars (which at the time were still thought to revolve around the earth) were perceived as a form of music, without necessarily implying that any sound would be heard—music refers strictly to the mathematical proportions. From this concept later resulted the romantic idea of a music of the spheres. Musica humana, designated the proportions of the human body. These were thought to reflect the proportions of the Heavens and as such, to be an expression of God's greatness. To Medieval thinking, all things were connected with each other—a mode of thought that finds its traces today in the occult sciences or esoteric thought—ranging from astrology to believing certain minerals have certain beneficiary effects.Musical instrumentalis, finally, was the lowliest of the three disciplines and referred to the manifestation of those same mathematical proportions in sound—be it sung or played on instruments. The polyphonic organization of different melodies to sound at the same time was still a relatively new invention then, and it is understandable that the mathematical or physical relationships in frequency that give rise to the musical intervals as we hear them, should be foremost among the preoccupations of Medieval musicians..

What is CyberCrime Law?

What is CyberCrime Law?

"This means if I text my friends that a certain candidate is a 'cheap, second-rate, trying hard copycat,' that person can haul me to court for violating the cybercrime law and have me locked up for 10 years," Casiño said.

Together with Kabataan party-list Representative Raymond Palatino, Casiño earlier filed House Bill 6631 to repeal several provisions of RA 10175.

"Para talagang pang-Martial law ang batas na ito at binubusalan tayo sa mga gusto nating sabihin sa pamamagitan ng internet at telepono. May kinalaman kaya ito sa nalalapit na eleksyon para di mabanatan ang mga kandidato? (This new law is like Martial Law since it prevents us from saying what we wanted to say on the internet and over the phone. Maybe the forthcoming elections have something to do with it?)," asked Casiño.

The three-term party-list lawmaker is also eyeing a Senate seat in the 2013 elections. He is running under the Makabayan Coalition.

Tarlac Representative Susan Yap, one of the authors of the House version on the anti-cybercrime measure, earlier defended RA 10175, saying the individual right to privacy and the right to freedom of expression albeit constitutional rights are not absolute.

Yap said these constitutional rights should always be tempered by the general welfare and co-existing rights of the many.

"I shall stand by my belief that we, in both Houses of Congress, have done our roles earnestly and faithfully to bring about the passage of this law so drastically material and necessary for the progress and development of our country, both economically and politically," she said.

Supreme Court justices will meet Tuesday to discuss and decide if the 15 petitions that have been filed so far against the further implementation of the Cybercrime Prevention Act will be given merit.

En banc sessions of the High Court are normally conducted at 10 a.m. although it remains to be seen if the Court will release an update just like last week, when the 10 justices present decided to defer the deliberations.

Bayan Muna party-list Representatives Neri Colmenares and Casiño, the Philippine Internet Freedom Alliance (Pifa) and the National Press Club joined on Monday the chorus of journalists, bloggers, militant lawmakers, and concerned citizens in calling for the junking of some sections of the law, which took effect last October 3.

Echoing the arguments of other petitioners, Colmenares said some provisions should be declared unconstitutional because these allegedly violated the freedom of expression, due process, equal protection, the right to privacy and correspondence, and the right against unreasonable searches and seizures within the meaning of constitutional doctrine.
