How The Turnbull Government Lost Control Of The House
The absence of nine members of the Coalition caused the Turnbull government to lose control of the House of Representatives for nearly two hours last night.
When a procedural motion to adjourn the House was put at 5.00pm, the ALP surprisingly voted No and called for a division, which it won by 69 votes to 67. The ALP then took control of the proceedings of the House and initiated a debate on a Senate resolution calling for a royal commission into the banking system.
Over the next 45 minutes, the government lost two more divisions and did not regain control of the House until 6.50pm, after coalition MPs were brought back into the chamber.
It was the first time since 1962 that a majority government has lost votes in the House of Representatives. Like the Turnbull government, the then Menzies government also governed with a one-seat majority. [Read more…]

MPs Who Won Their Seats On First Preferences In The 2016 Federal Election
Just under a third of the seats in the House of Representatives were decided on first preference (primary) votes at the 2016 Federal Election.
By definition, these seats are the most secure for the various parties, since preference distribution cannot change the result. The winner has already secured an absolute majority of at least 50%+1 over every other candidate.
Of the 150 electorates, 48 (32%) were won on the primary vote. There were 53 such seats (35%) at the 2013 election. In 2004, 89 seats (59%) were decided on first preferences.
The Liberal Party was most successful, winning 27 of the 48 seats (56%), including 12 in NSW. The Liberal wins covered 4 states.
The Nationals won 5 seats (10%), including 3 in NSW, giving the coalition 32, or 67% of the total.
The ALP won 16 (33%) of the seats, including 10 in NSW. It won 6 seats in Victoria, but failed to win any more in other states or territories.
Seats Won On Primary Votes – 2016 Federal Election
Liberal Party 12 8 4 3 27
The Nationals 3 2 5
Australian Labor Party 10 6 16
TOTAL 25 16 4 3 48
NSW was the only state to have a majority of seats (25 of 47, or 53%) won on primary votes. In Victoria, 16 seats out of 37 (43%) were won on first preferences. Western Australia recorded 19% and Queensland 13%.
The two smallest states, South Australia and Tasmania, had no seats decided on primaries. The four seats in the two territories all went to preferences. [Read more…]

Anthony Albanese To Run Again In Grayndler
Anthony Albanese has announced that he will run again in his Sydney electorate of Grayndler
The proposed redistribution of NSW electoral boundaries led to speculation that Albanese might contest Barton but final changes have improved the ALP's margin in Grayndler. The ABC's Antony Green has calculated the new margin as 18.1% in the ALP's favour.
Albanese has held Grayndler since 1996. A safe Labor seat, it was created in 1949 and has been represented by Fred Daly (1949-75), Tony Whitlam (1975-77), Frank Stewart (1977-79), Leo McLeay (1979-93) and Jeannette McHugh (1993-96).

Im on MJHD - Someone else just said that they have a new clue, and they cannot say where it came from.
The clue is Culver the 25th - Here is the thread.
SAMANTHA Posted a clue and it turned out to be TRUE. At the time I didnt put 2 and 2 together but I think this poster is right.
Didn't Samantha post her "Remember the time :50. You will need it in the future" last Friday? This was given to her by someone who she could not reveal? The next day was the :50 sec video of Liz Taylor at Universal Studios with Prince and Paris and the guy in the SAW mask?
Alot of people came down on Samantha very hard.
We have to at least believe….isn't it what we wanted all along? to be given some clues, some signs? Michael is not just going to come out on this site and say "Hi guys, come moon walk with me at Culver Studios on Sunday 25th October, 2009″.
I don't think we should disregard this.
Please keep an open open mind. Maybe these clues are given to certain people for a reason.

Who's going to rent the airplane for us?
Did you saw what I posted on the "V For Vendatte" thread? It was something about their clue too.
The Sunday the 25th look at Culver...This Sunday is October 25th so I guess we need to keep our eyes, ears, and minds open.
If it would get us to Michael and prove he is alive I would rent it!!!!!
I agree, we need to keep our eyes and ears open and this clue did turn out to be right or else it was a coincidence but there's been too many coincidences since June 25th!!
My dad is turning 60 that day and I'll be with him celebrating his birthday. If something happens will someone pm me?
Hey talking about June 25th, I just notice it was a 25th on october too!
25 + 25 = 50!
Samantha is also Australian...really weird..
iMISSYOUMJ wrote: Hey talking about June 25th, I just notice it was a 25th on october too!
@ilprincipe, what was said to happen at those times? on which date? also, isn't the founder of MJHD australian?
YaYa, we do not know whether the person behind MJHD is Australian or not. In fact, in the beginning, the postings of this person fitted into Australian time zone. The "who is" at the time was also saying Queensland, Australia.
BUT: this does not mean anything and is no proof for anything.
The person behind MJHD could be anybody just claiming it.
I came to the conclusion that MJHD is a privately run site as many technical features did not work out fine with the growing number of members and traffic. Too many times there were technical issues of many kinds. A professionally run site would not have had that.
Still - there is nobody who knows who is behind MJHD and I am afraid too many folks out there don't even reflect any more about this and just take this place for granted and as a bible.
To me, MJHD has a not visible boss since much of the admin's actions point to wanting to please - not the members.
Not to forget that in CA there is a person with the same name that was selling wigs to celebrities. Does not have to be an Australian one - there are hundreds around with the same name.
In fact, we do not know anything about MJHD and never will.
Just my 2 cents on this.
Samantha claimed that she met MJ by webcam.
Don't forget however that it was Glittr first who talked to MJ and that she introduced Samantha. I think that Samantha was choosen for the message as nobody on the rational side of the world would believe her anyway as she claimed to be a youngster. However, I stumbled over her wordings and thought to myself that she did not talk as a youngster at all. I thought she was not who she wanted us to believe. When she got aggressive, the same: I did not think a youngster was capable of such wordings but only when coming out of a let's say "non-favorable-surrounding".
IMO all of this was a planned or intentional leakage of a hint.
Either by MJ camp for the fans who would recognize or by the counter camp trying to harm MJ.
I try to stick to the rational analysis which is hard to realize very often since most of the "hints" are exactly targetting the emotional levels.
Going "zoooooooooooommmmmm" in the middle of the heart.
And this "targetting the emotional levels" of the fans makes me think that someone is playing a not very nice game with the fans which is a very ugly reality, too.
These are my other 2 cents.
Thank you for expressing in a rational & polite way exactly what I'm feeling right now but can't bring myself to write because "clues" tend to annoy the h*ll out of me.
THIS IS TRUE but let's NOT forget the CULVER connection. What do we look for??
Annie, it is getting tough times to try to stay rational in this.
However we are having a very good board here - many people are touched but not so much to lose their minds. Bravo to all sides.
But yes, I am worried about these "emotional fan harp players" - in the same way as I am somewhat frightened of the "MJ is an angel makers".
I don't understand the significance of the 50 second videos...how would anyone know how long the clips are going to be on TMZ? Doesn't seem like much of a find to me, but maybe I'm missing something. I want to know if they answer Annie's question and if they get it correct, then I might be willing to listen to their "clues".

No, they didn't. I'm still waiting.
I wonder how long you will be waiting? Maybe forever. Has anyone heard from those two since?
So, MJHD is the curtain that the puppetmaster is behind!?
I'll keep my eyes and ears open on Sunday.
Will the children be at Culver Studios on Sunday to watch TII, with Daddy in disguise?
Very good point and an excellent possibility!

That just reminded me...the PuppetMaster guy on TMZ came on yesterday to post again...I haven't seen him in ages.

end of the "event" the entrance to the "event" time "as stated" and someone?……………..
The Joker? That's 8 letters.
I find this stuff so much fun!
So are we supposed to figure out answers to these?
And if something does happen, where will it be posted so I can make sure to check. Maybe this thread?
I'm on my knees..well not literally as I can't reach my keyboard if I were..begging someone to pm me if something happens today. I have to be gone most of the day because it's my father's 60th birthday and since my folks are recently divorced I rarely see him. MJ is so important to me so PLEASE someone let me know if I missed anything!
Scream wrote: The Joker? That's 8 letters.
Could be, Joker is a clown isn't it? And I thought they called Michael as a Joker too?
I get instantly reminded of Jack Nicholson in Batman and wiki has some interesting details.
I don't want to read too much into it but certainly this would be a kind of comic and movie star that is equal to the KoP. Yes, could be his choice of disguise as his anticharacter.
If I remember well, Michael wanted to starr as Spiderman one day.

From the Joker's first appearance in Batman #1, he has committed crimes both whimsical and inhumanly brutal, all with a logic and reasoning that, in Batman's words, "make sense to him alone." In his first appearance, the character leaves his victims with post-mortem smiles on their faces, a modus operandi that has been carried on throughout the decades with the concept of the character.
In the story "The Joker Walks the Last Mile", the Joker is sentenced to die in the electric chair, but escapes by faking his own death.

The other interpretation of the character, popular in the late 1940s through 1960s comic books as well as the 1960s television series, is that of an eccentric but harmless prankster and thief. Batman: The Animated Series blended these two aspects, although most interpretations tend to embrace one characterization or the other.

Mark Wahlberg Says 'Cocaine Cowboys' Could Shoot This Year, Jennifer Lopez "Chasing" A Major Role
By Angie Han/Jan. 11, 2012 10:30 am EST
It was back in 2008 that we first heard about Cocaine Cowboys, the feature film adaptation of Billy Corben's 2006 documentary. But development on that project's been slow and erratic, and at this point it's been nearly a year since we've heard any significant updates on the project.
As Mark Wahlberg does the press rounds for Contraband, however, he's been chatting up a lot of the movies on his upcoming slate. And according to him, Cocaine Cowboys is not only still alive, it could get going as early as this summer — with Jennifer Lopez as a possibility for one of the juiciest parts. More details after the jump.
Despite all the previous stops and starts, Wahlberg said during his appearance on Sirius radio's "Sway in the Morning" show that he expected Cocaine Cowboys to begin shooting this year. "We're waiting on the script. It's going to be sooner rather than later," he told host Devi Dev. "We're going to shoot that in Miami, hopefully in the summer or the fall." Although Berg is no longer set to direct, Wahlberg revealed to Coming Soon that Berg is currently at work on the latest draft of the script.
Wahlberg remains the only star committed at this point, but if Lopez has her way, that could be changing soon. The singer/actress apparently has her eye on one particular major character, crime family matriarch Griselda Blanco. "Jennifer Lopez is chasing that [role] like crazy," he said. Not that he blames her: "It's one of those characters that will go down in history... It's the role — if I could play Griselda, I would. That's Academy Award [bait] right there."
Lopez doesn't have the most impressive track record as an actress — her last film was The Back-Up Plan, and she's next set to appear in What to Expect When You're Expecting — but she's shown promise in the past, most notably in Steven Soderbergh's Out of Sight. If she lands the part of Blanco, which Wahlberg noted would require her to go ugly a la Charlize Theron in Monster, it could signal a big step forward for her.

Reddit hints that it received a secret order from US spies that may have been on the hunt for Edward Snowden
Reddit removed a line – a "warrant canary" – from its annual report on government data requests.
Flickr/Majd Mohabek
Reddit has hinted that US security agencies issued it with one or more secret orders in 2015 that forced it to hand over information on its users.
The social networking forum released its annual transparency report on Thursday but there was some key language missing. Namely, the site's "warrant canary."
A warrant canary is a clause that some companies use in their reports to tacitly let the public know whether they have received a government surveillance request.
As long as that "canary" keeps appearing in a transparency report then it's safe for the public to assume that intelligence agencies aren't trying to secretly access information that these platforms hold on their users.
But if a company deletes its warrant canary, it indicates it has received a National Security Letter (NSL) or a court order under the US Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
National Security Letters, or NSLs, are issued by the FBI and force internet services providers and other companies to hand over confidential information about their users, including websites visited, email addresses, and phone numbers.
(Warrant canaries are called as such because they act as a sort of early warning system — similar to the way that canaries were once used in coal mines to alert miners if dangerous gases were present.)
Which brings us to Reddit. Unlike its 2014 transparency report, the company's 2015 edition doesn't include any mention of the number of "national security requests" it receives under the US Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or Fisa.
In 2015, Reddit said it had never received a National Security Letter. That claim has now been removed.
Recipients of NSLs are usually issued with gagging orders that prevent them from talking about the fact they have received a letter. However, there's a loophole in that companies are able to say they've never received an NSL (as Reddit did in 2014).
By removing that claim, it looks like Reddit has — without breaking the law — just announced that it has recieved an NSL or similar classified order.
So if Reddit did receive a national security letter, what was it about? Reddit obviously can't say, because it's classified. But one user called "triplebream" theorises that US intelligence agencies wanted Reddit to provide them with information that could be used to determine Edward Snowden's whereabouts. "My guess: they wanted to see what IP address Snowden was connecting from, or what other data on his whereabouts they could otherwise extract from his browser headers or from browser fingerprinting," they wrote.

Q: How can I use values from class in @query? Hi,
I'm creating Rest API and here is my question.
For example I have @Query like this.
@Query(value = "INSERT INTO table(customer, date_of_loading, date_of_unloading")
        "VALUES ('BrandA', '02.02.2022', '03.02.2022',", nativeQuery = true)

void createNewOrder(OrderDto orderId);

And how can I take values from my class OrderDto and send it to the @query?
I have also other question where I'm sending just a single word for example and here I just have to use ':orderId' to use incomming String but have no idea how to use it with incomming class. Any ideas?
@Query(value = "INSERT INTO table (customer) VALUES (:orderId) ", nativeQuery = true)

void createNewUser(@Param("orderId") String orderId);

I just wanna use for example also this same but from OrderDto class like userDto.getCustomer
I know that I can manually send it all 1by1 to the function like:
  void createNewUser(@Param("orderId") String orderId, @Param("test") String test, @Param("customer") String customer, );

and then use it by :orderId, :test, :customer etc. but take a lot of time and place in code :)
Any ideas :D???
@Query(
    value= "SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `name`=?1 AND `age`=?2",
    nativeQuery = true
)
UserEntity findUser(String userName, Integer userAge);

Can u somehow use this same like:
@Query(
    value= "SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `name`=user.name AND `age`=user.age",
    nativeQuery = true
)
UserEntity findUser(User user);

A: to the best of my knowledge, you do have spread them as a param to the function but why you don't you want to use JPA methods like save() to just implement this instead of the custom queries. but you can take a look at this implementation here

As businesses offer their workers more flexibility and mobility, office spaces are also being transformed to match the new styles of work. One of the biggest recurring expenses for any business can be rent for office space and the associated overheads. This is especially true for startups. Serviced office space and virtual offices are two different kinds of solutions that have emerged to meet the changing nature of work.
Virtual offices and serviced offices are alternatives to leasing or buying office space, but they are quite different. Serviced offices are more similar to traditional real-world offices, but are owned and managed by facility management companies. Virtual offices provide only a physical address and occasionally office facilities and technology but are largely used by businesses with workers who work from remote locations.
Telecommuting and remote work are part of the reality of the new office, made possible by advances in internet technology and the wide availability of mobile devices. Businesses with telecommuting workers don't need a physical office space to which employees commute to work. But they may sometimes need a physical address, even one in a prestigious location. They may also need to schedule occasional conferences for employees or meetings with clients.
Virtual office space is ideal for businesses with employees who are technologically savvy and capable of working without onsite supervision. Virtual offices can also provide facilities like online work platforms, phone services, and administrative and conference support, if needed. They can also offer video conferencing software for meetings. Virtual offices also tend to be budget-friendly, which can be an important consideration for small businesses.
Virtual office space has many advantages for a business that does not need a physical location. Workers can be located anywhere, which means that they can be hired from among the best talent nationwide or even worldwide. A virtual office is an open round the clock, so workers can pick their own schedule. It is not subject to the vagaries of weather or traffic and no matter what the conditions outside, employees will be able to get to work and complete their assignments.
A serviced office is more like traditional office space, with a physical location to which employees travel each day for work. The big difference from a traditional five space is that the business does not own or lease the premises. The office and generally the entire building or office complex is managed by a facilities management company, that handles all property management issues. Serviced offices have become popular because they cut down on overheads and property management functions, allowing staff to focus on the core mission of the business.
Serviced offices generally offer flexible leases, which can be rented for any period that suits the business. They can even accommodate businesses that need office space only for a few months, or for few days every week. Serviced offices generally provide all facilities necessary, including phones, computers, internet services, fax machines, pantry, and break room for employees.
Serviced offices have many advantages for businesses, especially if they are small or just starting out. The flexible lease terms make them a good choice for businesses that have been newly established, or are looking for more permanent premises. They may also be suitable for businesses that are looking to expand or to set up a new branch office in another location.
What Are the Differences Between Virtual and Serviced Office Spaces?
Both kinds of office space give businesses the flexibility to pay for only the office space and facilities they need, and to expand these as needed. There are also important differences between the two, since they serve companies with different needs and missions.
Serviced offices have an office space to which workers travel each day to work. Virtual offices don't provide a physical workspace but only an address and other facilities like phone and fax numbers if needed.
In a serviced office, workers have to live within commuting distance from the location. With a virtual office, workers can be located anywhere in the country or anywhere in the world.
Virtual office workers must be proficient in using the latest technology, since they will be using computers and the internet for all their work. While these skills are useful for regular office goers and serviced offices, they are not always the most essential ones.
Workers may never meet face to face in a virtual office. In a serviced office, by contrast, workers meet every day and work in the same physical space.
The two kinds of office space serve different purposes, and the costs are different as well. Serviced offices have higher costs than virtual offices, because they provide more facilities.
Serviced office and virtual office space give businesses the flexibility and services they need, letting them pay only for space and facilities they actually use. These can be expanded as the business grows. Either is a good choice for a small or startup business, depending on its specific needs.

More on translated crime
I think this article has been around for a while, but a botched link prevented me from getting to it sooner. It's in Crime Time, and it offers more thoughts on translated crime fiction, this time from Natasha Cooper. She finds awkwardness in the English translation of Andrea Camilleri's dialogue, and she praises the English version of The Seville Communion by Arturo Pérez-Reverte. (She calls the author Antonio Perez Reverte -- an especially bad mistake, since Cooper in the same piece singles out a copy editor for criticism.)
Cooper is sensitive to the difficulties a translator faces in capturing a work's emotional tone, and she singles out the translation of Jose Carlos Somoza's The Athenian Murders for praise (though she calls him Juan Carlos Somoza. She must have a mental block against Spanish first names. Either that, or Crime Time's site is being hacked.) That translation, she says, "works particularly well because [the novel] is actually about translation."
I would suggest that Mike Mitchell is at least as good as the translators Cooper fails to name. His fine English versions of Friedrich Glauser's novels for Bitter Lemon Press come up with ingenious and relatively unobtrusive renderings of Glauser's subtle use of German dialects.

Now that's an article to get a translator's blood boiling!
I will not launch into a harangue detailing the theories of translation, and in particular those regarding 'faitful' and 'unfaithful' translations. Just because I had to endure two semesters' worth of theory doesn't give me the right to inflict it upon others.
But what gets me is when she writes,
"I cannot believe this is the case with the original. My Italian doesn't extend beyond menu explanations and so I cannot check."
What Cooper should've really written was, "My Italian doesn't extend beyond menu explanations and so I cannot judge." Really, if she doesn't know Italian, what is she basing her opinion on? It could very well be that the line doesn't 'work' in Italian either. If that is the case, does she believe the translator should have intervened?
I am in no way saying that its not possible that the translation is bad. But, its unfair to judge an entire translation by one sentence, one word. Wyatt Mason, a writer for the New Republic, likens reading translations with the purpose of finding 'errors' to scaling Everest merely to count the number of frozen alpinists along the way.
Cooper, I'm afraid, is just one of the many people in the writing business that doesn't understand translation. And, she certainly doesn't appreciate it as much as she may claim to. Case in point, she doesn't even give credit where credit is due. Couldn't find the names of the translators? The internet and Google is great for that.
Stephen Sartarelli translated The Shape of Water. The translator for both The Seville Communion and The Athenian Murders is Sonia Soto.
I posted somewhere about Stephen Sartarelli's translations of Camilleri, particularly about his rendering of a wonderful passage in which Montalbano grows exasperated with Livia's use of cliches. The translation uses English cliches. What, I wonder, are the Sicilian equivalents in the original, and what were Sartarelli's thoughts as he tried to find English counterparts that would convey a similar effect?
I agree that Cooper is high-handed. I, too, noted her failure to name the translators whose work she claims to appreciate.
With respect to her remarks on the Italian translation, what she should have written was: "The English version is stilted. Is the original as well? Is the fault, in other words, the author's or the translator's? And if the original is stilted, is it not the translator's duty to produce a readable version (unless he or she is doing a scholarly, word-for-word translation)? This is just one of the challenges a translator faces."
I wrote something similar when I questioned some passages in a translation of a novel by Alicia Gimenez-Bartlett. Considering the subject of this blog, translation has come up often. Here are my collected comments on the subject, starting with the Cooper comment, if you feel like delaying your work a bit more: http://detectivesbeyondborders.blogspot.com/search/label/translation
That was a nice remark by Wyatt Mason. I will quote it often!

This is an election year with a difference…actually, several differences. By now, in previous election years, it would have already been patently clear who the presidential candidates for the major political parties were.

Le Bonheur Children's Hospital is a 255-bed, tertiary care children's hospital located in Downtown Memphis, Tennessee. Le Bonheur has more than 700 medical staff representing 40 pediatric specialties. Approximately 170 patients per day are admitted, mostly from Tennessee and nearby states but also from around the world, mainly due to its nationally recognized brain tumor program, affiliation with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and for being the home of the Children's Foundation Research Center. The hospital treats infants, children, teens, and young adults aged 0–21.

Le Bonheur functions as the region's primary level 1 pediatric trauma center. The hospital cares for 14,000 patients every year, including about 81,000 visits to the emergency department a year and 8,800 surgeries per year. Le Bonheur also serves as a teaching hospital affiliated with the University of Tennessee Health Science Center and offers training in general pediatrics and pediatric subspecialties.

History
Le Bonheur was founded on June 15, 1952, by the Le Bonheur Club, originally a women's sewing circle, and was originally an orphanage dedicated to caring for poor children. The Le Bonheur Club members raised all of the money for the initial investment for the hospital.  When the doors opened, the Le Bonheur Club President, Mrs. Howard Pritchard, stated: "The doors of Le Bonheur will never be found closed and will forever hereafter be open to those who come in need, seeking its help." The medical center has gone through two major expansion projects.

When Hurricane Katrina first hit New Orleans in August 2005, Le Bonheur (along with other hospitals) sent helicopters to Tulane Medical Center, Ochsner, and CHNOLA in order to help evacuate pediatric patients from the hospital.

In February 2008, ground was broken on the new expansion by Le Bonheur executives.  In December 2010, Le Bonheur Children's Hospital opened the emergency department in its newly renovated 12-story patient care tower. Le Bonheur maintains two ambulances equipped for critical care transport.

Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare
In 1995, Le Bonheur became a part of the Methodist Healthcare System, which is supported by the Memphis, Mississippi and Arkansas conferences of The United Methodist Church. While it is primarily located in Memphis, the system also owns the Methodist Olive Branch hospital in Mississippi.

The healthcare system began in 1918 with a farmer named John Sherard.

Collection practices
Like the other 2 major systems in the region, the parent company filed collections actions against patients who have difficulty paying, with 8,300 lawsuits between 2014 and 2018. This practice ended soon after and was reversed by erasing millions in patient debt.

Education
Le Bonheur is affiliated with the University of Tennessee Health Science Center and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. It offers training in general pediatrics and several subspecialty areas of pediatrics. Le Bonheur Children's Hospital has been ranked among the nation's best by U.S. News & World Report in different specialties.

Q: a continuous Function adds a function with intermediate value property If a function $f(x)$ has intermediate value property while $g(x)$ is a continuous Function, then will $h(x)=f(x)+g(x)$,  have intermediate value property?
If we can find $F(x)$ that $f(x)=F'(x)$, the answer is yes. But is it true for all $f(x)$ having intermediate value property?


According to Met Eireann, the first part of the week will be very mild, however there is a change coming later in the week.
It will be dry across much of the country on Monday, with mild hazy shine and breezy conditions. Wetter all the while across the far northwest and very west of Connacht, with low cloud and rain persisting. Spot flooding is likely here. Highest temperatures of 13 to 18 degrees Celsius, mildest across the south midlands and east.
According to Met Eireann, it will be mild and blustery with brisk southerly winds on Monday night but most areas will stay dry, except for west Connacht and west Ulster, where there will be some further heavy and persistent falls. Lowest temperatures 9 to 13 degrees Celsius, coolest in the rainy areas.
The national forecaster says it will be mild, humid and blustery on Tuesday. Staying dry across Leinster and much of Munster with a few sunny spells. However outbreaks of rain will move into most other areas, with further heavy spells across the far west and northwest, occurring well into the night-time hours, and leading to spot flooding. Highest temperatures of 14 to 18 degrees, with best values across the south midlands and east.
Very mild, or even warm locally, on Wednesday with highest temperatures ranging 16 to 21 degrees. Most areas will hold dry with sunny spells, though some showers may present across the southwest of Munster and the west of Connacht around evening time. Southeast winds will be moderate, occasionally fresh in strength.
Met Eireann is currently forecasting that some coastal areas will experience some early morning rainfall on Thursday, while inland should begin on a dry note. However the day will deteriorate as a band of heavy rain gradually pushes in from the Atlantic, with some heavy burst across the western half of the country. Southeast winds will pick up in strength too. Mild, especially in any sunny spells, with highs of 14 to 18 degrees Celsius.
Current indications suggest the end of the week will be extremely unsettled with high volumes of rain possible, as well as strong winds.

Hot weather set to hit Perth cricket Test with three consecutive 40 degree days
By Irena Ceranic, Monday December 9, 2019 - 19:41 EDT
Perth is suffering through a scorching start to summer. - ABC licensed
Perth is looking at potential heatwave conditions for the first time since February 2016, with temperatures expected to hover close to 40 degrees Celsius from Wednesday to Sunday this week, on the heels of a record-breaking start to summer.
The Health Department said it was monitoring the forecast closely and would issue a warning by mid-week if the temperature met its — three or more consecutive days when the forecast minimum and maximum temperatures average at least 32C.
Perth's maximum is tipped to range between 38 and 40 degrees from Wednesday and Sunday, while the minimum will range in the low- to mid-20s.
The blistering heat comes on the back of Perth recording its hottest first week of summer on record, after the city's maximum averaged 36C — 7 degrees above the December mean maximum of 29.1C.
The last time the Heath Department declared an official heatwave was in February 2016, when Perth's maximum temperature surpassed 40C for four days in a row.
Heat is on for the first Test
The scorching temperatures will pose a challenge for the Australian cricket team as they coincide with the start of the first Test against New Zealand at Perth Stadium.
The forecast has prompted a warning from a doctor, Colin Hughes, who previously worked for the Western Australian Cricket Association (WACA) and the AFL.
Dr Hughes urged Cricket Australia to delay the day/night Test's start time of 1:00pm until late afternoon to avoid the worst of the midday heat.
"There are huge health consequences to the players out in the middle — the heart can start racing and you can develop heat stroke through dehydration," he told ABC Radio Perth.
"That can apply to the spectators as well.
"If it's 40 degrees, you can imagine what the temperature would be like underneath a helmet in the middle of the pitch.
"I think that Cricket Australia just doesn't understand the implications of these incredibly high temperatures. There's a huge difference between playing in 35 degrees in Melbourne or Sydney and 42 degrees in Perth."
Dr Hughes questioned why it was appropriate to stop a Test match due to rain but not for heat.
"My warning to Cricket Australia — there is a cricketer or a spectator who is going to have severe problems if you allow that Test to start when the temperatures are still 42 degrees," he said.
"I urge them to delay the start of play, just as they would delay a start for rain, for about three hours until the temperature is below 35 degrees."
Delay? No way, says WACA boss
But WACA chief executive Christina Matthews rejected the idea of delaying the start, saying that "will never happen".
"It's always good to be aware of the challenges of hot weather, but in regards to the players, the players play all across the world in extreme temperatures and are very well prepared for it," she said.
"Cricket Australia will be monitoring the health of players as the game progresses."
Cricket Australia caused controversy last year during a scorching second Test between Australia and India by choosing which provides the most shade.
But Ms Matthews said that would not be an issue this week.
"Level 5 will be open this year, which is one of the most shaded areas in the ground, also there are lots of areas you can move back from the seating into areas that are not directly in the sun," she said.
"We'll also be having the red frogs people walking around spraying people who would like to get a little bit of relief."
Hot Tests nothing new: Warner
Test opener David Warner was unfazed by the forecast, pointing to several occasions when players have had to endure similar conditions.
"I go back to Bangladesh when Pete Handscomb and I were batting out there together, it was 31 degrees, but they actually said it was around 45 (on the ground) and come an hour into our innings, we were walking ones," he said.
"It was extremely hot and very difficult, we couldn't really get a lot of fluid into us.
"I look back to an Ashes series we played [in Perth], it was 45 degrees. It was one of the hottest days I've ever played in Australia, and everyone was absolutely cooked.
"I remember that hurting a lot of us for the next couple of days afterwards."
He said players were accustomed to the heat and had preparation and recovery techniques in place to help them manage.
Perth weather forecast
Tuesday: Sunny, 17–34
Wednesday: Very hot and sunny, 20–38
Thursday: Very hot and sunny, 21–39
Friday: Very hot and sunny, 25–40
Saturday: Very hot and sunny, 24–40

Greasy Street – Ruleville, Mississippi
The Mississippi Blues Trail marker for Greasy Street is located on Front Street in downtown Ruleville, Mississippi, near Rulesville's former Illinois Central Railroad Depot.
Mississippi Blues Trail marker commemorating Greasy Street, Ruleville, Mississippi
The GPS location of the Greasy Street marker is N33° 43.599′ W90° 33.181.
There is another Mississippi Blues Trail marker nearby which commemorates blues guitarist Jimmy Rogers. The GPS location of the Jimmy Rogers marker is N33° 43.605′ W90° 33.156′.
This portion of Front Street, known locally as "Greasy Street" was a major center of commercial and recreational activity for the local African American community until the 1980s. Many well known blues artists played the clubs and juke joints on, and around, Greasy Street.
The front side of the Greasy Street marker says:
"For many decades this block of Front Street, known locally as "greasy Street," was the center of commercial activity for African Americans in the Ruleville area. On Saturday nights Greasy Street was packed with people dressed in their finest clothes who visited establishments including Mack's Colored Cafe. Blues musicians who played in Ruleville included Charley Patton, David 'Honeyboy' Edwards and Howlin' Wolf."
The photos below show how Front Street, or "Greasy Street" looks now.
Greasy Street, Ruleville, Mississippi, as it now appears
An interesting piece of archival film footage, shot in Ruleville and which purportedly showed Robert Johnson, was discovered in Memphis, Tennessee. Here is a Youtube video clip showing a discussion of that archival film. The consensus of the research was that the footage was shot outside the Delta Theater, near "Greasy Street" in Ruleville in January 1942 and therefore could not show Robert Johnson, who died in August 1938.
The Mississippi Blues Trail marker for Jimmy Rogers, which is a short distance from the Greasy Street marker, also refers to Greasy Street's once thriving music scene. It says that "Ruleville's row of juke joints on Front Street, known locally as "Greasy Street," made the town a longtime center of blues activity."
Today, Greasy Street's glory days seem to be in the past. Its commercial and recreational importance has diminished dramatically and the "row of juke joints on Front Street, known locally as "Greasy Street," [that] made the town a longtime center of blues activity" are no longer evident.
