MEDICAL NOTE:  Good News is not a  scientific source,  please decide for yourself, if this information is helpful for you. PS<br />
 這 是 100 ％ 準確 的 信息 ，<br />
 This information is 100% accurate<br />
 對於 每個 人 都 非常 有效。<br />
 Very effective for everyone</p>
<p> 為什麼 中國 大陸 過去 幾天 大大 減少 了 感染 人數<br />
 China has significantly reduced the number of infections in the past few days.</p>
<p> 除了 戴 口罩 勤 洗手 外 ，<br />
 Besides wearing masks and washing hands</p>
<p> 他們 只是 簡單 地 每天 漱口 3 次 鹽水<br />
 They also gargle salt water 3 times a day</p>
<p> 完成 後 ， 喝水 5 分鐘。<br />
 After that, drink warm water for 5 minutes </p>
<p> 因為 該 病毒 只能 在 喉嚨 中 侵襲 ，<br />
 Because the virus initially only attacks the throat</p>
<p> 然後 再 侵襲 肺部<br />
 Then  attack the lungs</p>
<p> 當 受到 鹽水 侵襲 時.<br />
 When hit by salt water</p>
<p> 該 病毒 會 死亡 或 胃中 胃中 下來 並 在 胃中 銷毀,<br />
 The virus will die or descend and disintegrate in the stomach</p>
<p>  這 是 預防 冠狀 病毒 流行 的 唯一 方法 ，<br />
 This is one way to prevent Covid19 .</p>
<p>  市場 上 沒有 藥品<br />
 There is no medicine on the market<br />
  所以 不要 購買。<br />
 No need to buy</p>
<p>  童 綜合 王叔 昂 醫師 醫師 ：<br />
 The General Hospital stated</p>
<p>  新 冠 肺炎 在 還 沒有 來到 肺部 之前,<br />
 cough, Before the corona  / virus reaches the lungs</p>
<p>  它 會 在 喉嚨 部位 存活 4 天<br />
 The virus lives in the throat for 4 days</p>
<p>  在 這個 時候 ， 人們 會 開始 咳嗽 及 喉痛。<br />
 At this time, the infected start to cough &#038; sore throat.</p>
<p>  如果 他 能 儘量 喝多 溫 開水 及 或,<br />
 If you can drink as much warm water as possible </p>
<p>  就能 消滅 病菌。<br />
 Can eliminate viruses</p>
<p>  儘快 把 此 訊息 轉達 一下 ，<br />
 Hurry and spread this message.</p>
<p>  因爲 你 會 救 他人 一 命！<br />
 Because you will save someone&#8217;s life</p>

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Choose the date(s)</strong></span></p>
<p>You need to make sure your partner won&#8217;t have anything planned during that time. There are a few ways to go about securing their time without ruining the surprise. For one, you can plan something else with your mate, preferably something routine. Or, ask your mate&#8217;s relative or friend to plan something with them for that time.</p>
<p>Find a place that will hold special meaning for your partner, since you&#8217;re planning a surprise just for him or her. When choosing your lodging, take into account your partner&#8217;s preferences, such as &#8220;romance of the big city&#8221; vs. &#8220;secluded in nature&#8221;. Also consider whether your partner prefers small intimate lodgings like B&amp;Bs or cottages, or larger accommodations with lots of amenities such as hotels and resorts. You can also choose a location that&#8217;s meaningful in some way. For example, you could choose a place where you had your first kiss or the city where you proposed, or a place your partner has always dreamed of visiting but hasn&#8217;t yet had the chance.</p>
<p>Figure out how to get the reservation confirmation without your partner intercepting it. Provide your personal cell phone number, email address, or even work address for any reservation confirmations or tickets. This will help to prevent your partner from prematurely finding out about your surprise. Let the hotel or resort know that you are planning a surprise so that they do not inadvertently give it away.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong> Take care of the logistics</strong></span></p>
<p>Make sure you both have valid passports, arrange for child-care and/or pet-sitting, house-sitting arrangements, mail pick-up, and other details.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>What to Pack</strong></span></p>
<p>Pack a few special things you know your partner will enjoy; their favorite warm beverage, a nice bottle of wine, massage oil for the foot &amp; hand massage you&#8217;ll give them later, their favorite traveling music, a book about the place you&#8217;re going to present to them once you&#8217;ve arrived, etc.</p>
<p>Surprise your partner, giving them enough time to pack. (Or, you could pack for them, but most people prefer to do it themselves.) You could also tell them what they need to bring such as &#8220;warm clothes, hiking boots, sunblock and a nice outfit for an evening out&#8221;. That way they get to choose their clothing but it will still be a surprise.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>IF YOU CAN: Keep the destination a secret until you get there.</strong></span></p>
<p>Take a circuitous route to the destination and enjoy the traveling adventure along the way. Employ blindfolds and headphones so that when you get there, your significant other get the full effect of the surprise!</p>

<p>Summer may be over but a new season is here filled with new experiences……</p>
<p>What are the 2013 Fall travel trends?</p>
<p>Bike riding-winery tours and apple-picking through beautiful country roads or Leaf-Peeping (fall foliage) in the Northern Georgia Mountains or around the lakes of New Hampshire sounds awesome!! But don’t fall for the wrong deals!! And use common sense when mapping out the road ahead for a stress free travel experience!!</p>
<p>Stephanie Oswald, national travel expert and editor-in-chief of TravelGirl Magazine, is available for live interviews to sort through the best deals and the most satisfying experiences this Fall! She will discuss everything from best time for a Fall vacation, how to get the best deals, what items should be on your travel checklist, how to choose the best accommodations, ways to circumvent the latest challenges in Fall travel and the latest travel trends.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Stephanie is available to discuss</strong></span>:</p>
<p>• <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Do Your Research</em></span>: planning a last minute trip means doing your homework This is a great time to travel as there are smaller crowds and deals to be had now that the summer family travel season has ended.</p>
<p>• <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Look out for deals</em></span>: sign up for e-mail deals with your preferred airline Do your research online, but then call the hotel, resort or cruise line that you are interested in – they may have some really last minute specials that will make you even happier.</p>
<p>• Fall Travel Checklist Check the tourism board websites for cities or attractions near you — many have fall festivals that can make an autumn escape even greater!</p>
<p>* Road Trip Planning Tips: Before You Go and On The Road If you’re taking a road trip, plan for rush hours as you drive. Whenever possible, try to leave a little earlier or a little later than everyone else. If you have two drivers in your vehicle, pace yourselves (and your sleep schedule) so you can make better time.</p>
<p>• AAA, AARP and other travel sites have great advice for leaf-peeping destinations and ideas for fall travel. Make sure any clubs you belong to have your current information so that you receive any printable coupons or deal alerts.</p>
<p>• <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Be a healthy and smart traveler</span>: Always pack a healthy snack such as a granola bar or dried fruits. When you’re at your destination, maintain healthy habits – just because you’re on holiday doesn’t mean the kids can fill up on sugar and soda pop. Stick with healthy juices and drink plenty of water.</p>
<p>• Find a fitness escape that travels with you. Whether it’s yoga, running, or swimming in a hotel pool, plan for time to keep your routine. And if you have special music that motives you, be sure it’s handy on your iPod.</p>
