US Accuses Iran of Secret Al-Qaida Ties
Entry Excerpt:
US Accuses Iran of Secret Al-Qaida Ties - Voice of America
The United States accused Iran of having a "secret deal" with al-Qaida as Washington announced sanctions Thursday on six suspected al-Qaida operatives.
The Treasury Department did not offer many details. But it says the operatives are part of a network headed by Ezedin Abdel Aziz Khalil, described by U.S. officials as an al-Qaida facilitator based in Iran.
The Treasury statement says Khalil has been operating under an "agreement" between the Iranian government and the terror group.
The department says Iran is a "critical transit point" for funding to support al-Qaida's activities in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
There was no immediate reaction from the Iranian government.
But Treasury Under Secretary David Cohen says a "secret deal" in which Iran allows al-Qaida to funnel resources through its territory has been exposed. He says the case illuminates what he called another aspect of Tehran's "unmatched support for terrorism."
The sanctions on Khalil and the five other reputed operatives freeze any U.S. assets that they may have and prohibit U.S. citizens from engaging in financial transactions with them.

Another strange development, an AQ leader and / or strategist who has been reportedly in a Syrian jail has been reported as being released; similar to the AQ planner released awhile ago from detention in Iran.
I have read his biography awhile ago, so here's a slim background:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mustafa_Setmariam_Nasar
Two recent commentaries by ICSR, one nearly a week ago:http://icsr.info/blog/Whither-al-Suri
Note the possible link to a kidnapped American charity worker in Pakistan months ago:http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...ri-claims.html
The second today, reflecting "chatter" on Jihadist forums:http://icsr.info/blog/Al-Qaeda-theor...rison-in-Syria
T'is a murky world diplomacy, hostage negotiation and "talking to the enemy".
Still a mystery
Zenpundit has a short update:
Credible sources at the forums said al-Suri was released then, but no word on him since.
Link:http://zenpundit.com/?p=14510
One wonders if Syria holds other AQ cadre and the inevitable question what will happen to them?
There has been no update on whether al-Suri remains in Syrian custody, but in a discussion with open source analysts there were two comments. First, from a Jihadist on-line "chat" watcher al-Suri remains in Syria, if he had been released there would have been "chatter".
Secondly given his long detention, since October 2005, what condition is he in? If he is ill (physical / mental) what would be gained by AQ announcing his release. Or IMHO a transfer to another state - Iran comes to mind.
As we approach 2013 the media turn to reflection and reminding us of the best articles published, amidst is an offering from Foreign Affairs is a substantial article I missed 'Al Qaeda in Iran: Why Tehran is Accommodating the Terrorist Group' by Seth Jones, in January 2012:http://www.foreignaffairs.com/articl...iran?page=show
Seth opens with:
Virtually unnoticed, since late 2001, Iran has held some of al Qaeda's most senior leaders. Several of these operatives, such as Yasin al-Suri, an al Qaeda facilitator, have moved recruits and money from the Middle East to central al Qaeda in Pakistan. Others, such as Saif al-Adel, an Egyptian that served as head of al Qaeda's security committee, and Abu Muhammad al-Masri, one of the masterminds of the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings in East Africa, have provided strategic and operational assistance to central al Qaeda. The Iranian government has held most of them under house arrest, limited their freedom of movement, and closely monitored their activities. Yet the organization's presence in Iran means that, contrary to optimistic assessments that have become the norm in Washington, al Qaeda's demise is not imminent.
I know scattered around SWC are comments on the sometimes puzzling relationship between Iran and AQ. Iran at times appearing to act as an internment camp for AQ cadres, with the occasional release to return to the fray in Afghanistan.
Three relevant threads are:'Iran & USA allies in Afghanistan:stranger than reality', posts mainly from 2007:http://council.smallwarsjournal.com/...read.php?t=729, 'AQ-Central to relocate?':http://council.smallwarsjournal.com/...ad.php?t=14034 and the mysteries of AQ internment in Syria in 'Abu Musab al-Suri is free? AQ's No.4':http://council.smallwarsjournal.com/...ad.php?t=15095
IIRC CWOT has touched upon this subject in his polling analysis.
Perhaps other matters have stopped official action on Iran's stance, notably movement towards a nuclear capability.

Bin Laden's son-in-law returned to Iran
An odd update:
Osama bin Laden's son-in-law was arrested in Ankara by Turkish security forces after Washington allegedly informed Turkey's National Intelligence Organization (MİT) about his location, daily Milliyet reported today.
Suleyman M., son-in-law of former al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden, was allegedly staying at a camp in Iran after the Sept. 11 attack on the World Trade Center in 2001. He entered Turkey using a fake Saudi Arabian passport.
He was released and returned to Iran!

Bin Laden's Son-in-Law Arrested
This is a story that does not seem to have made it into the major English-language news services. According to a leading Turkish daily, Milliyet, Bin-Laden's son-in-law Sulayman Jasim abu Ghaith was arrested in Ankara around 3 February 2012 after entering Turkey on an illegal passport from Iran. The story claims that a CIA tip led to his arrest, but that Turkey did not intend to turn him over to the US. Since his only crime in Turkey was entering illegally, he would be deported back to Iran. I haven't seen any follow-up to this story, but the Arab news sites picked it up and seemed to confirm it.
This is the link to the original story:
http://gundem.milliyet.com.tr/ladin-...37/default.htm
This is the main Arabic source:

This does not seem to have made it into most of the English-language press- a Turkish paper, Milliyet, reported on 3 February (the day after the suicide bombing at the US embassy) that Bin Laden's son-in-law, Sulayman Jasim abu Ghaith, was arrested in Ankara following a CIA tip. The Arabic press also carried the story, but I haven't seen anything else since the initial story (not unusual). Did anyone else see anything related to this?
If anyone is interested I can provide URL for the story in Milliyet and Ash-Sharq al-Awsat.

Well, he slightly made the State Department's press briefing
With a diplomatic fuss over his extradition, seems Foggy Bottom has gone silent and Abu Ghaith just can't compete with the likes of Pope Benedict or the Africa Cup of Nations at the BBC.
With that, Turkish news will have to do
If you want to blend in, take the bus
What's with the old al Qaeda guys leaving Iran?
Clint Watts blogsite looks at this issue:http://selectedwisdom.com/?p=993
He ends with:
So what does all this mean?
Well it seems my Iran wild card fears of summer 2012 may not be worthy of much attention. If Suleiman was in fact the last al Qaeda member held by the IRGC, then, at least on the surface, it would appear that Iran is not intending to use al Qaeda, a Sunni extremist group, as a strategic proxy against the West and Israel in the way that it backs other Sunni groups like Hamas.
I wonder if the release of Suleiman and other al Qaeda members has some connection to the emerging proxy battle brewing between the IRGC and al Qaeda linked al Nusra Front in Syria? I'm guessing there is no way to know but the recent movement of Suleiman is quite curious. Stays in Iran for more than a decade and suddenly decides to leave? What's up?
Even more curious is that Suleiman is reportedly in Kuwait now!

Iran Frees five Al Qaeda Members for kidnapped diplomat
Anonymous intelligence sources led to this Sky News report; it starts with:
Iran has released five senior al Qaeda operatives from detention and will soon allow them to leave the country, prompting fears they will join other terrorists in Syria planning attacks on the West. According to intelligence sources, three of the five are members of al Qaeda's ruling committee the Shura Council.
They were released in exchange for an Iranian diplomat kidnapped in Yemen earlier this year.
(Later) intelligence sources said, were believed to be still in Iran but there are fears that they will be allowed to leave - probably to refill positions inside al Qaeda's leadership structure that has been mauled by drone attacks in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria and Somalia.
Link:http://news.sky.com/story/1552303/te...-qaeda-members
Iran frees five AQ Members for kidnapped diplomat: Part 2
The NYT adds:
The Iranian government, in a statement on Thursday after the release was reported by Sky News earlier this week, denied that the five men had been freed....The release of the men could re-energize the militant group, providing an influx of vetted leaders at a crucial time, terrorism experts say.
Link:http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/18/wo...-a-trade.html?
So six months ago this release happened or didn't, then a week ago the Khobar Towers suspect appears to have been "given up".
Could this be a move to counter ISIS?
The Long War Journal assesses the recent reports and concludes:
There is no question that Saif al Adel, Abu Mohammed al Masri and Abu Khayr al Masri are among al Qaeda's most senior leaders....the freed jihadists may serve another purpose. Jihadists on social media have circulated a rumor suggesting that al Qaeda plans on relaunching a new branch inside Iraq, in direct competition with the Islamic State. The al Qaeda leaders released from Iran are well-positioned to lead this effort....These men could argue the opposite, saying they, and al Qaeda, are Zarqawi's true heirs.
Link:http://www.longwarjournal.org/archiv...-from-iran.php
Now if that assessment is correct the Iranian "release" makes sense in countering ISIS. Indeed a certain US general has mooted using AQ to counter ISIS; strange world sometimes.
CrowBat...back to our JaN discussion........could this be the inherent key....Iranian ties into JaN via AQ?????
Could the protective hand of the IRGC/Khamenei be over them and not so much the Russians?????
There is in fact some similarities between AQs jihadist view of revolutionary Islam and the "revolutionary Islam" preached and written about by Khomeini that both Shia and Sunni's can relate to.

Sayf al-Adel was also recently freed by #Iran >> Iran's Partnership with al-Qaeda and Unanswered Questions
And if Sayf al-Adel has now made his way into Syria, no surprise: al-Qaeda has been operating networks feeding Nusra from Iran for years.
There are a number of comments indicating he is indeed in Syria with JaN.
Sayf al-Adel worked out the plan for the formation of a jihadist statelet with Abu Musab az-Zarqawi in 2002. In #Iran.

Bin Laden's treasure trove: what his letters say
Hat tip to Outlaw 09 spotting these passages, with my emphasis in bold:
The collection includes letters to subordinates in al-Qaeda, messages from followers willing to carry out suicide attacks, and screeds on issues including bin Laden's conviction that the United States and Iran were poised for an apocalyptic war. In one letter, bin Laden scolds one of his deputies for threatening attacks against Iran, saying, "As you are aware, Iran is our main artery for funds, personnel and communication."
Members of bin Laden's family were held in Iran for years in a murky state of house arrest, leading to speculation that al-Qaeda and Tehran had formed a wary partnership. But U.S. intelligence officials said they have found no evidence in the Abbottabad files of any formal arrangement along those lines.

Great summary from @JoelWing2 >> Iran#s Ties With Al Qaeda In Iraq's [#IS's] Abu Musab al-Zarqawi
http://goo.gl/wNigNG
http://alqabas.com/7368/
New Latakia emir of Jabhat an-Nusra (al-Qaeda in #Syria), Iyad at-Tubasi (Abu Julaybib), is a brother-in-law of #IS founder Zarqawi.
Nusra's new coastal emir, Iyad at-Tubasi, fought alongside Zarqawi in AFG, and moved with Zarqawi to Iraq in 2002, before the invasion.
Some of this is undeniable: #Iran's had an operational cnx with al-Qaeda since 1996, a partnership even longer.
http://i24ne.ws/ZWOzL
Iyad at-Tubasi was wrong reported killed in DEC 2012, was said to have been replaced as Nusra's Deraa emir by Mustafa Abd al-Latif Saleh.
Mustafa Abd al-Latif Saleh is also from Zarqa, and arrived early in Iraq with Zarqawi (2003 latest), working on the Assad-overseen ratlines.
Both Iyad at-Tubasi and Mustafa Abd al-Latif Saleh were among the ISI advanced party that entered Syria in AUG 2011 to create Nusra.

Home Community Interest What is a Community Cat?
Community Cats, also called feral or outdoor cats, choose to reside in a location for two reasons; one, there is a food source – intended or not – and two, there is shelter. Community Cats are members of the domestic cat species just like pet cats but they are not socialized to humans and are therefore unadoptable. Community Cats lead healthy, natural lives on their own, content in their outdoor home.
A Boca Raton resident, Jane Springston, is an experienced trapper who donates her time and resources to helping Boca Raton's community cats. She runs a program here in Boca Raton called Community Cats of Boca Raton. The aim of this program is to trap, neuter, and return community cats to their outdoor homes. This effort's goal is to stabilize the cat population, limiting their environmental impact in a humane manner.
The trap-neuter-return strategy involves marking the cats who've been caught and treated. These cats have been "ear-tipped". This is a surgical alteration showing that a free-living cat has been spayed/neutered. There are no more kittens; the population stabilizes. And the returned neutered cats' lives are improved. Behaviors and stresses associated with pregnancy and mating, such as yowling or fighting, stop. Not only does Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return make sense, it is also a responsible, humane method of care for outdoor cats. This strategy is in compliance with the PBC Ordinance, Sec. 4-35.
We have a Community Cat who comes around. What should we do?
If the cat does not have their left ear notched, is pregnant or has any small kittens then it's important to notify Jane. The Palm Beach County Ordinance about Community Cats allows for people to care for cats that are wild and "wander up" but don't want to become full-fledged pets. But there's limits to it. For example you can't just dump food on the ground for them. If you are taking care of a Community Cat or know someone who is, please contact Jane and she'll help you learn how to do it right so the cat or the caregiver don't get in trouble.
Join the Community Cats of Boca Raton Facebook Group to follow Jane's continuing efforts helping out Boca's furry residents.

Eccentricity, Or, a Check to Censoriousness: With Chapters on Other Subjects
By James Kendall
congregations-printed, approved and commended by the late Dr. Chalmers, of Edinburgh, and the then Bishop of Lincoln-sold off. And yet a grave minister said to me in a letter, "give up all this nonsense about eloquence !" I have referred to this in some of my other publications; and I do it here, because I have too much reason to think that some other feeling has prompted opposition to me, and that the charge of eccentricity has been but a pretext. Quite sure I am that the word eccentricity is given by the jealous-minded, as a title of reproach, to hinder some useful men from becoming too conspicuous.
Eccentricity! a shocking bad thing, if we believe some ignorant and ill-natured accounts of it. You may affirm of a minister that he is idle; "Ah, well," says Mrs. Sympathy, "the dear man is nervous and cannot do everything." Say of another, he is envious, "that," says a friend, "cannot be proved." Say of another, he is covetous. "O no," says Samuel Saveall, "he is only economical." Say of another, he is re
, vengeful. "Why," says Peter Pugnacious, " he has, to be sure, a little mettle in him, and shows a proper spirit." Say of another, he is sly, deceitful, and disregards truth. "Ah, well," says, Ferdinand Fox,
we ought to be wise as serpents, but he is a monstrous pious man for all that." Thus are obvious and notorious sins explained away. But let it once come out respecting another minister, that he is eccentric, and then, as many in the company as do not know him, and are more or less inclined to censoriousness, pronounce sentence against him. Their deluded imaginations, aided by innate hostility, teem with all sorts of vague, undefined and undefinable notions to the man's disparagement. A few present may belong to that class of ignoramuses, who do not know what eccentricity means, but think it must be something bad. Whether it means necromancy, or ventriloquism, or a man standing on his head, or wearing his coat inside out—they can't exactly say. But certainly it must mean some extraordinary deviation from the centre of gravity.
And we agree with these talkers, that if there should be men with such oddities, they are unfit for the Christian ministry. It is most profoundly to be regretted that, notwithstanding incessant and extensive preaching throughout the world, there should yet be even among perpetual hearers of the Gospel, so large an amount of ignorance, absurdity, and what may be truly called narrow-mindedness." We heartily wish all people to be thoroughly religious and devotional. We would not have them connive at any moral evil; nor can we reasonably object to their censures, when rightly placed and administered with kindness and affection. But the mischief is, the want of efficient pulpit instruction in numerous places; the reiterated appeals made from the pulpit to people's passions, to the neglect of their understandings—the keeping them used to one set of notions--and the setting up such a formidable barrier between the godly and the community at large, as
to exclude the former as much as possible, from all social intercourse with the latter, has made some religionists particularly stupid. As Christians, we all know very well that sinful intercourse with the world is interdicted, and as Christians, we have no relish for it. But social intercourse, excluding sin, is allowable, and often renders Christians morally beneficial to their worldly neighbours, and witty Christians have often allured worldly people to Christianity, while stiff and gloomy bigots have driven many from it. Stiffness and bigotry, however, though by some interpreted in a most favourable way, as if they were simply too rigid adherents to punctilios of decorum, and to the doctrines of a man's favourite sect, yet well intended and an evidence of a man's sincerity, are not always entitled to so much consideration. A stiff bigot is often a disguised worlding, and a desperate Pharisee. He hates "the pomps and vanities of this wicked world," professedly from a pious hatred to their pride and profanity,—but really and truly because they are expensive, and he loves the money better than these gratifications which money would purchase. He don't like eccentricity and wit, not because they are always really to be blamed, but because his trickery and selfishness smart under the castigations they administer. He would be thought a first-rate Christian ; but the keen and faithful satirist explores him, and exposes his self deception. He makes a great fuss about the imaginary faults of his neighbours, and the eccentric
man shows him, to his intense annoyance and mortification, his own real, delinquencies. Who then can wonder at the pious horror with which he contemplates eccentricity?

Hello peeps, your piggy Luna here.
Last Monday we expected to have a nice public holiday. But see what happened.
I found my sweet bro Lurchi Leopold all weak and sick. He could not walk and not even hold his head straight.
He refused to eat and to drink.
We had to face the fact that he is on the top of the rainbow bridge.
So we rushed him to the emergency vet.
He got three (!!!) shots. Antibiotica, Prednisolon and a booster to bring him back on his feetsies.
Back home, we put him under the heating lamp and I kept him company.
We offered him his favorite food but he refused all the goodies.
I told him that he please please should not let go. That we love him. That we will have a lot of adventures together.
My human sissi came to help.
I made sure that all the food she offered to my Lurchi Leopold was best quality.
She finally made him eat a little critical care (special food the vet gave us).
For the rest of the week we went to our regular vet every day and Lurchi got three shots each visit.
We were really anxious about him.
But see even neighbors pest cat came to support us and to bring the power of the paws.
After 15 shots and syringe feeding 5 days Lurchi Leopold is back in the game. He has to gain weight now.
But gaining weight is no problem if you ask me.
Our feathered friend was not amused.
Please friends and furiends keep fingers and paws crossed for Lurchi Leopold.
Maybe I should have read this first! I am glad that Lurchi is doing better. Do these piggies like to play, with little toys and things?
Oh je, gute Besserung! Unsere Meerschweinchen haben diese Phase leider nie überlebt... Aber bei so einem fürsorglichen geschwisterlichen Zusammenhalt klappt das sicher, ich drücke die Daumen!
So adorable! I hope he gets well. I had a little piggie too ages ago.
Lurchi Leopold and friends are adorable. I hope he is well now on and recovering. Cute photos.
Oh hope Lurchi Leopold will make out just fine!! With all the help from friends, family and even a neighbor cat...he just HAS to come through all this and be himself real soon. Keep us posted.
oh, i hope he make it! you have given him every chance in the world! bless you for caring about him and keeping such close watch on him!
ich drücke dem kleinen Schwarzen so sehr die Daumen!!!
Knuddel die beiden von mir!
Oh, I hope your sweet friend makes it!
Well, of course! A full recovery I hope!
i do hope he's now recovering.
So sweet. You have taken nice care of him.
A lovely story with a happy ending Pia. Nice pics too.
Glad to know they are recovering well.
Ähm, ein "wieder" sollte ein "wird" sein.
Oh Luna and Pia, sorry to hear that your brother has not been well. We know how serious it is when a pig is not eating. It sounds like you have done a fabulous job though and are a great friendbeast to him. Hope Lurchi Leopold is still hanging on and pulls through!
Luna, you are really a sweet piggy to watch over Lurchi Leopold so well. You did a good job 'cause now he's on the mend! I'm keeping my paws and whiskers crossed that he gets better and better.
wie schön, dass es Lurchi jetzt wieder besser geht, hoffentlich ist er bald wieder "on the top"!
I am so sorry Lurchi Leopold has been ill. I can see he is loved by all of you and I wish him good health and a full recovery.
My fingers are crossed. It's worrisome when pets are ill. I understand. I was outside hunting for a cat at 3 a.m. to no avail.
Oooch, liebe Pia, da wünsche ich aber auch eine baldige und gute Besserung für Deine süßen Meerschweinchen! Du hast ja sooooo schöne Fotos von ihnen abgelichtet, die ich mir gerne angeschaut habe!
Dear Pia and Luna, just wanted to let you know that we have thought of you and are hoping that no news is good news.

Building a future for young engineers, one LEGO at a time
Author: William G. Gilroy
Much has been written and discussed about the outlook for science and engineering in the United States. If a recent event at the University of Notre Dame's Stinson-Remick Hall is any indication, the future looks bright.
The University's Graduate Career Services office hosted the Indiana Automotive Consortium Road Show at Stinson-Remick in January. The road show featured representatives from Chrysler, Cummins, Honda, Mursix and Subaru showcasing employment opportunities within the state of Indiana for Notre Dame engineering students. In conjunction with the event, the Cummins Young Engineers Club, which is designed to motivate and inspire pre-college students to excel in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), sponsored a Lego replica build of one of its engines.
During the event, Cummins engineers and Notre Dame engineering majors joined members of South Bend's St. Matthew's Middle School Robotics Club in constructing a four-foot-by-three-foot-by-two-foot replica of Cummins' new high-horsepower diesel engine, called the QSK95. The replica engine was built with approximately 30,000 Lego bricks and was designed to help students and engineers share stories and experiences involved with becoming an engineer.
Students from St. Matthew's School in South Bend work with Notre Dame College of Engineering students and engineers from Cummins to build a scale-model diesel engine from Legos.
"Our Young Engineers Club continues to connect Cummins engineers with STEM students and their families through interactive display and discovery," said Richard Whitney, global employment brand leader at Cummins. "We know that engineers of all ages love playing with Lego models and bricks, so we created this program as a unique way to allow STEM students to meet real-life engineer role models."
The objective is for students learning about fundamental problem-solving and critical-thinking skills taught in STEM curriculum to use their understanding to build Lego modules that combine to create the replica engine.
Each St. Matthew's student was paired with Notre Dame engineering students, who were to provide guidance in assembling parts of the engine. Cummins engineers then directed the groups in assembling the engine as a whole.
As the build progressed, however, it was difficult to decide who was leading and who was following. The St. Matthew's students proved to be remarkably adept at quickly interpreting the build diagrams and assembling the component parts, with minimum guidance from their Notre Dame counterparts. Although the St. Matthew's students taught their college counterparts lessons in Lego building, the Notre Dame students were able to pass on the excitement and rewards of engineering discovery, hopefully inspiring a new generation of engineers.

A tool to measure progress toward increasing African American and Latinx representation across design disciplines.
Design Diversity Index tracks the number of people of color in architecture, landscape architecture, graphic design, industrial design, interior design, and urban planning in Ohio's schools and professions. Following the mission of Design Diversity, the Index focuses on measuring demographics for African American and Latinx communities. Using available data sources, the Index establishes current baseline conditions and will track future progress toward expanding racial diversity in Ohio's design community.
The Design Diversity Index (DDI) is intended to grow with more data over time. The first version of the Index includes data from public universities in Northern Ohio and limited data on design professions in the state. Additional data from private universities, community colleges, and professional associations can build on the current framework. Annual updates will also show changes in numbers, which may be correlated to specific conditions. Measuring the data outcomes is an important step toward identifying effective actions to increase diversity.
The demographic data are organized in two categories: Academic Programs and Professional Workforce. These categories include data collected from undergraduate and graduate design programs, as well as professional data from Ohio's Bureau of Labor Statistics and design professional associations. Each category also includes key questions derived from the data, which offer opportunities for future research.

Former heart surgeon and Irish Times columnist Maurice Neligan has died at the age of 73.
He was consultant cardiac surgeon at the Mater Hospital from 1971 until 2009 and at Crumlin Children's Hospital from 1974 until 2002. He was also one of the founders of the Blackrock Clinic.
Mr Neligan performed the first coronary artery bypass graft in 1975 and carried out Ireland's first heart transplant in 1985.
He wrote a weekly column for this newspaper's health supplement for the past eight years.
Mr Neligan is survived by his wife Pat, three sons and three daughters. Another daughter, Sara, died in 2007.
Enda Kenny said the State would be "much the poorer" for the passing of Mr Neligan. The former surgeon's "gentle nature, his realism and his colourful opinions on health and politics" will be missed by all across Ireland, the Fine Gael leader said.
"I am deeply, deeply sorry to hear of Maurice's passing today. I spoke at length to Maurice only last week. He was the first superstar of Irish medicine following his achievements as a leading cardiac surgeon. There are many who enjoy a normal lifestyle today because of his work."
"He was a deeply compassionate Irishman, proud of his profession and caring of his family. . . Ireland will be the poorer for his passing. I extend deepest sympathies to Maurice's wife, Pat, and their children. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
Fine Gael's health spokesman, Dr James Reilly described Mr Neligan as a leading champion of patients and a pioneer within the Irish health service.
"It is deeply sad that the country has lost a great servant to the public interest, and medicine has lost a great pioneer and a leading thinker," Dr Reilly said.
In a statement, the Irish Heart Foundation said it deeply regretted Mr Neligan's passing.
"Mr Neligan pioneered the development of cardiac surgery in Ireland, and his contribution was outstanding. He will be remembered with great affection and admiration by all for whom he cared," Michael O'Shea, chief executive of the Irish Heart Foundation, said.
The board of Crumlin Children's Hospital said Mr Neligan was "a giant figure in the history of Irish medicine".
"His energy, enthusiasm, skill and dedication have left a lasting impact on the hospital and generations of children who have received their care here," the hospital said in a statement.
"He was a lifelong advocate for children's medical services and continued his support of the hospital long after his retirement."
Bryan Harty, chief executive of Blackrock Clinic, said his staff were very attached to Mr Neligan and very upset by the news of his death.
"He was a larger-than-life character," he said. "It took people with his sense of drive and vision to get the hospital going.
"He was very, very focused on his patients and the relatives of his patients.

When you go to Zinfest in Lodi, drink water.
Lot's of it. People say it's always hot at Zinfest. This year was no exception.
Imagine tasting some amazing Zins in triple digit temperatures. It's possible – but you need plenty of water to balance the alcohol. I also enjoyed the opportunity to do some barrel tasting. In this picture, we're pouring a Peltier Station USB Zin Port. Delightful! Fruity, sweet and I can only imagine how good it will tasted after a few more months in the barrel.
I'm a dry, complex, Pinot Noir gal. This month, my mother-in-law's visiting us from Buffalo. She leans on the sweet end of the wine-tasting spectrum. Lodi's Zinfest had something for our palates and more. I enjoyed introducing new people to this amazing wine region. Some of our friends signed up for wine clubs down here after we took them to another Lodi wine festival.
It's a pleasure to try out all the wine products in Lodi and we learn a lot from all the charming winemakers here. Plus, it feels like family in Lodi. Folks always have time to answer our questions and joke around at the tastings.
Good times for all wine fans – new and old.

2. During his visit to Riyadh, President Trump addressed the leaders of 55 Muslim countries. He said all but which one of the following?
a) blocking the entrance to the residence of Turkey's ambassador in Washington, D.C.
c) standing across the street from the residence of Turkey's ambassador in Washington, D.C.
4. Video of the attack by the Turkish president's bodyguards showed men in suits kicking people, including women, some while they were on the ground. The footage shows some victims covered in blood. Video appears to show that the bodyguards __________ the peaceful Kurdish-American and Armenian-American protesters.
Which one of the following did he not say?
b) We all, as civilized nations, should be united in our fight against extremists.
c) We are all threatened by terrorists.
d) The Saudis and the Israelis and the Palestinians want peace.
7. After a botched police attempt to capture the Islamic State leader of jihadist group Abu Sayyaf in the Philippines this week, about a hundred jihadists mounted attacks across the city. They did all but ________ during their rampage?


The Worst Selfie of All Time?
He may have been inspired from Hangover 3, where Alan takes a selfie next to his father's framed memorial photo at the funeral, but that just doesn't justify this act. A Sri Lankan Tamil man shared a selfie on Facebook, posing next to his deceased uncle. And, that didn't go down well with the social media. Finally, he took down the post after the bashing. Psychologists have argued that taking 'selfies' maybe because of very low self-esteem or narcissism. We can't say we are very sure about the low self-esteem bit though, given President Obama and other world leaders have also succumbed to the same.

Achieving trade show X-Factor in a post-COVID-19 world
By Selena Chavis
Kentucky International Convention Center (KICC) and its hospitality partners in Louisville, Ky. are currently seeking STAR accreditation from the Global Biorisk Advisory Council (GBAC).
It may be quiet on the trade show front these days, but it is not expected to stay that way.
While meeting and event industry stakeholders wait patiently for business to get back on track, many believe trends happening pre-pandemic will continue a rapid growth trajectory in a post-COVID-19 world.
According to Charles Stark, president and CEO of Music City Center in Nashville, Tenn., trade show planners will continue to embrace a more digital footprint and new ways of engaging audiences, while attendees will seek opportunities to get the most bang for their buck.
"We are certainly seeing more learning and education sessions on the exhibit hall floor than there were 10 years ago. In addition, some associations have moved to a hosted buyer concept where they actually pay people to come to a show," he said. "Where we are really seeing a continuous shift is in use of electronic signage and vendors using technology. We have added a few million dollars' worth of electronics inside our building just for advertising signs, for example."
Greater use of technology will continue to define the most prominent trends in trade shows, according to Blake Henry, general manager of the Kentucky International Convention Center (KICC), especially as facilities strive to meet the needs of events through the end of 2020 and into 2021.
"We are seeing event organizers incorporate more virtual elements in their planning, including hybrid programs involving live-streaming of their face-to-face events," he noted. "They are relying more heavily on digital tools using audio-visual and IT to provide interaction including video-conferencing, virtual chat, digital presentations, and electronic networking tools."
A 'new normal' for trade shows
In tandem with current trends, Henry suggests planners and attendees will continue to expect more stringent requirements around sanitary practices at venues—especially food and beverage— even as concerns regarding the pandemic subside.
"We expect this to continue into the future. Although social distancing as we now know it will evolve, we also expect some element of it to stay with us as attendees have become more conscious of enclosed, crowded spaces," he explained. "KICC is fortunate in that we were fully renovated in 2018 with spacious, wide-open pre-function and event spaces, high quality air filtration and air flow systems, and state-of-the-art technology to be able to address these trends."
Consumer confidence in safety will define how quickly events begin booking facilities again, Henry added.
"For this reason, KICC and our hospitality partners in Louisville are currently seeking STAR accreditation from the Global Biorisk Advisory Council (GBAC)," he said. "Deemed the gold standard for prepared facilities, GBAC is a division of ISSA, the worldwide cleaning industry association and offers the only outbreak prevention, response, and recovery accreditation. "
"At KICC, environmental impact was a top concern through our renovation, and we were proud to be awarded LEED Silver Certification for our renovation process as well as our ongoing operational strategies," Henry said.
Stark noted Music City Center recently completed its GBAC STAR accreditation, verifying the implementation of best practices for facility operations during a pandemic.
"We are now probably one of a dozen convention centers that have already been awarded certification in the U.S.," he said. "That is big. Now people looking to book with us can look to this source and know we are doing things the right way and using the right materials."
The GBAC STAR accreditation complements Nashville's 'Good to Go' initiative, a hospitality safety program recently introduced by the Nashville Convention and Visitors Corporation in cooperation with Vanderbilt Health, Ryman Hospitality Properties, and SERVPRO. The program aims to help businesses implement health and safety guidelines to protect visitors to the city—an important strategy component because GBAC accreditation only applies to what happens in Music City Center.
"If you are at a show here, I cannot follow you around and say 'you should not go into that bar—it looks too crowded," Stark said, noting restaurants, shop, and entertainment venues are marked out with signage demonstrating they are following city-wide safety guidelines. "So that is what 'Good to Go' was meant to do from the city's standpoint."
In addition to health and safety practices, Henry believes groups will be more selective about the events they will attend moving forward, limiting travel to the events that really matter to them and provide strong value and content.
] According to Charles Stark, president and CEO of Music City Center in Nashville, event planners continue to embrace a more digital footprint.
Expanding digital footprints
Digitization was on the move before the coronavirus hit the U.S., and Stark says that groups will continue to embrace this trend. Along with heightened use of digital signage, he emphasized that video is becoming a dynamic way to increase value for sponsors.
"Instead of simply putting up a PowerPoint slide with a sponsor's logo—where we started with technology— now they have movie video, they will have sponsors actually talking to attendees as they are walking down the exhibit hall concourse. It's much more than a static image now," Stark explained.
Technology is increasingly important at trade shows to improve the value proposition of attendees. In most cases, Stark pointed out that participants come to these events well prepared with pre-identified and scheduled meetings and events. "Everybody is pressed for time. Attendees don't walk up and down every isle now and visit every booth," he said. "People are much more focused on the booths and items that matter to them in that moment."
For these reasons, many event planners are turning to scheduling tools and apps, and convention centers are helping streamline an attendee's experience through wayfinding maps.
Technology and IT infrastructure will be critical to addressing and supporting hybrid events going forward, Henry said.
"This includes, but is not limited to, fiber optic, dedicated Internet lines, accessibility to hard wired connections throughout the facility, and audio-visual (AV) partners that can manage all these variables effectively," he added. "For example, our in-house provider, Prestige AV and Creative Services, has developed its own platform for creating, producing, and delivering streaming content of our live events."

Breastfeeding: Education A Key Influencer, new FRC research shows
This podcast explores factors that influence the likelihood of women breastfeeding at six weeks postpartum, according to a new study. Researchers found more education and support for breastfeeding, increases the likelihood of breastfeeding at six weeks postpartum. The study also found women are not receiving education and information about breastfeeding at the same rates, which could result in health disparities. This research was conducted by Family Resiliency Center Researchers at the University of Illinois and calls attention to the need to increase breastfeeding education and awareness, especially to at-risk populations.
Featuring: Carolyn Sutter, PhD, Postdoctoral Student, Family Resiliency Center, University of Illinois at Urbana-ChampaignThis research was conducted as part of the Family Resiliency Center's Strong Kids 2 Project.

Plastic Chemical Exposure Linked To Brain Development
New research shows a relationship between phthalates and deficits in cognitive function in rats. This podcast explores what the findings could mean to humans and society as a whole. Investigators call it a "cautionary study" that shows exposure to phthalates at critical stages in human development could lower the baseline of how smart humans are as a society and while it may be difficult to prove over time, "enough evidence in animals of various sorts, should make us worried." The research team successfully mimicked the average phthalates exposure in humans with subjects and found the subjects exposed responded slower to task changes, behaved differently than those not exposed, and showed physical changes to the front part of their brain. Hosted by: Ryann Monahan, Research Communications Specialist . Featuring: Janice Juraska, PhD, Professor of Psycology and Neuroscience at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Family Resiliency Center affiliate & Daniel Kougias, PhD, Neuroscience University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2018.

Real estate should form a prominent part of your investment, as the returns are always good. There are several options when it comes to real estate investments. These include single-family homes, apartments, and condos. The condos and apartments can accommodate many families, as they have multiple rooms or units. Single-family homes are small units where one family can live comfortably. Find out more about real estate investment now.
It is important that you understand the real estate market and you get sound advice from reputed advisers. Making an informed choice when it comes to investment property is recommended to ensure that your money is spent wisely. There is a constant debate going on about various advantages of multi-unit and single unit properties.
Single-family units are generally resistant to fluctuations in the market and even appreciate comparatively. As such, your investment in this type of property is safe and will a give better return on investment (ROI). These individual units offer you the luxury of revamping, remodeling, and renovating your living space to suit your requirements, tastes, and budget.
The single family home offers you greater privacy, as you do not share your walls with strangers. The other benefit is that, since there is no association involved, you do not have to pay any type of maintenance fee or follow any strict regulations.
The mode of financing is different here; this type of housing might not qualify for home loans but you can opt for commercial loans. The process of getting finance is also different; your credit score does not matter much but you must make a greater down payment. The costs here are lower, so it is an advantage. Multi units can have their own specific place in your portfolio.
Single-family units are expensive as compared to multi-units, but offer more privacy and better ROI. But it is also clear that both have their own pros and cons. Depending on your needs, tastes, and budget, you should make a wise decision about your real estate investment.

Ohio's Penzone Salon + Spa Empire Gets the Ultimate Makeover
by Kristen Heinzinger
Dec 12, 2018 2:30pm
The salon is one level and 14,000 square feet.
Penzone Salon + Spa just toasted 50 years of success, but it isn't looking to rest on its laurels. Debbie Penzone, president and CEO—who has worked at the salon for 32 years and has been married to salon owner Charles Penzone for 20—spearheaded a reimagined salon concept, beginning with a new outpost in Dublin, OH. "We asked, who are we and how can we be relevant for the next 50 years?" she says.
A refreshment station, surrounded by shelves of retail.
The answer to that question lies in a one-level 14,000-square-foot space that offers an array of services. The salon, which houses over 42 stations, is sectioned into five neighborhoods. "We zoned every area for music, so with the soundproofing, it really sets the tone," Penzone says. "Each neighborhood can change the music to have a different vibe, and the artists love that."
Debbie Penzone, CEO and president
Additionally, the salon boasts a multisensory lather room with shampoo beds and aromatherapy where guests can also get treatments like head and arm massages; a color bar; a spa; a Beauty Zone that offers express services like facials and eyebrow waxing; a nail salon where guests wear a blindfold and a headset that plays meditation, simultaneously get a manicure and pedicure, and zen out; a holistic cafe with plant-based food; and a social room, which Penzone says is the pillar of the new salon concept.
The expansive lather room.
"With that social room, we've been able to host evenings of enlightenment, bringing in organizations like the American Heart Association or Komen Columbus Race for the Cure and allowing our community to come together, talk and share, or host Pinot and Peels, a ticketed event that's like a girls' night out but with facials," she says. Those events have helped boost retail 35 percent, she adds. Its most recent event in November, a fall trends body-positivity fashion show, sold out.
"I feel that message is at the heart of our new concept," says Penzone, who plans to expand the new model to its other locations in Ohio. "We're beyond beauty. I want to get that out there in our industry: We don't decide what beauty is; we're here to help guests find their empowerment."

Ilhan Omar Calls Jewish Stephen Miller a "White Nationalist"
That would be like calling Thomas Sowell a member of the KKK. But facts do not matter. History tells us that Adolf Hitler used Joseph Goebbels as his minister of propaganda and Ilhan Omar is ours and with the same goal in mind, to eradicate all Jews. Stephen Miller has a lot of influence with the president because he delivers for him, not because he is Jewish.

We have two book reviews to share with you. The first one featured in the March 2013 edition of Share International magazine. Entitled "Maitreya's mission is our mission" Carmen Font reviews "Maitreya's Mission" Volume One, by Benjamin Creme. It begins:
Thomas Edison (1847-1931), who gave us the light-bulb, once said that quote: "opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work". Unquote.
Too often we tend to believe that the greatest breakthroughs in human life are in most cases the result of 'genius' and 'chance'. Even though these two factors play a role in every achievement, hard work is always a prerequisite. Working consistently, with a focused and sincere intention, provides the necessary energy to invite an 'opportunity'. By responding to a window of opportunity, we participate in the creation or the unveiling of an achievement. The bigger the achievement, the more effort it demands.
Benjamin Creme's third book, "Maitreya's Mission" Volume Two is the subject of our second book review by Carmen Font which featured in the April 2013 Share International magazine. It's entitled "Every cause has an effect" and begins:
Many concerned citizens were looking for answers in 1993, amazed at how the world was going through major changes in the political and economic fields: the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the dismembering of former Soviet republics; the end of apartheid; and the beginning of a deep and wide-spread economic crash that had started earlier in Japan.
"Maitreya's Mission" Volume Two not only catered for the information needs of readers preoccupied with current affairs, but also provided a framework and a context in which the deeper causes of these events could be clearly understood. If we were to capture the essence of the more than 700 pages of this volume in a single phrase, it could be: "Every cause has an effect."
It is never too late to re-visit the wisdom of Maitreya's Mission, since each re-reading is not so much a repetition as a re-discovery.

To make the fruit filling, melt the butter in a 12-inch heavyweight saute pan over medium-high heat. (A large saute pan is critical because as the plums cook they need to release steam.) Sprinkle the sugar over the melted butter and then carefully distribute the plum wedges evenly across the pan. Toss in the vanilla bean, followed by the salt. Allow the plums to cook, undisturbed, until they begin to release their rosy juices. Try to resist stirring the pan for at least 3 to 4 minutes to encourage a slight caramelizing of the flesh of the fruit. Once the juices begin to come to a steady simmer, turn the heat down to medium and cook the fruit down (you can stir now, and do so frequently!) to the texture of a thick applesauce, about 25 minutes. It is important to cook the fruit long enough to make a thick filling in order to stack a sturdy cake. Fish out the vanilla bean and put the filling, uncovered, in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, stirring it occasionally to help the cooling process. Your plum filling should yield a generous 2 cups. Made in advance, it can keep for 2 days refrigerated.
Center an oven rack and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt in a bowl, then whisk the mixture to ensure that the ingredients are well mixed.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, blend the brown sugar and the butter together on low speed until the butter has melded into the sugar and the mixture resembles wet sand. As you make the batter, stop the mixer frequently and scrape the paddle and the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Still on low speed, drizzle the oil into the mixture. Turn the mixer up to medium-high speed and beat until the batter is fluffy, about 3 minutes. Blend in the eggs one at a time at low speed, adding the next one as soon as the previous one has disappeared into the batter. With the mixer still on low speed, add the flour mixture in three parts, alternating with the buttermilk in two parts, beginning and ending with the flour. After each addition, mix until just barely blended and stop and scrape the bowl. Stop the mixer before the last of the flour has been incorporated and complete the blending by hand with a rubber spatula to ensure you do not overbeat the batter.
Although you will bake only three cakes at a time, you will do this process twice for a total of six cakes. There is no need to refrigerate the batter while it waits its turn. Pour 1 cup (9 1/2 ounces by weight) of batter into each of the prepared pans and bake in the middle of the oven until the centers are just barely firm when lightly touched (the cake will be very blond but have a golden ring around its edge), approximately 15 minutes. Remove the cakes to a wire rack and promptly run a small, thin knife around the edges. Let the cakes cool for 10 minutes before removing them from their pans. Leave the parchment papers on until you assemble the cake. Wipe out the pans with a paper towel, then regrease and repaper them before baking the next three cakes. Once all the layers are baked, be sure to let them all cool to room temperature before assembling the stack.
To assemble the cake, place one of the layers top side up on a flat serving plate. Using a thin metal spatula, spread no more than 1/3 cup of the chilled fruit filling evenly over the layer. Align the next cake layer, again top side up, on top of the previous layer, and repeat with another thin layer of plum filling. Continue with the next four layers of cake and filling, leaving off the filling from the top layer. Whisk together the sifted confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla. Pour this glaze over the middle of the cake and allow it to drip down the sides of the stack. Any leftover filling can be refrigerated to spread on your morning toast.
This cake is best served at room temperature. Stored in an airtight container, it keeps for up to 5 days.

GWIJNETH PALTROWrc 59
Gwyneth Kate Paltrow Martin (pron.: /ˈɡwɪnɨθ ˈpæltroʊ/; born September 27, 1972 is an American actress, singer, and food writer. She made her acting debut on stage in 1990 and started appearing in films in 1991. After appearing in several films throughout the decade, Paltrow gained early notice for her work in films such as Seven (1995) and Emma (1996) (in which she played the title role). Following the films Sliding Doors (1998) and A Perfect Murder (1998), Paltrow garnered worldwide recognition through her performance in Shakespeare in Love (1998), for which she won an Academy Award for Best Actress, a Golden Globe Award and two Screen Actors Guild Awards, for Outstanding Lead Actress and as a member of the Outstanding Cast. She also won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series in 2011 for her role as Holly Holliday on the Fox hit TV show Glee in the episode "The Substitute". In April 2013, Gwyneth was named "Most Beautiful Woman" by People Magazine. Paltrow has portrayed supporting as well as lead roles in films such as The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999), The Royal Tenenbaums (2001), Shallow Hal (2001), and Proof (2005), for which she earned a Golden Globe nomination as Best Actress in Motion Picture Drama. Since 2008 she has portrayed Pepper Potts, the love interest of Iron Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, in Iron Man (2008), Iron Man 2 (2010), The Avengers (2012), and Iron Man 3 (2013). Paltrow has been the face of Estée Lauder's Pleasures perfume since 2005. She is married to Chris Martin, the lead vocalist of Coldplay. They have two children together, Apple and Moses. She is also the face of American fashion brand Coach, owner of the lifestyle company Goop.com and author of two cookbooks: My Father's Daughter: Delicious, Easy Recipes Celebrating Family & Togetherness, and It's All Good.Paltrow was born in Los Angeles, California, and is the daughter of actress Blythe Danner and the late film producer/director Bruce Paltrow. Her father was Jewish and her mother is from a Christian background, and Paltrow was raised with "both Jewish and Christian holidays". Her father's Ashkenazi family immigrated from Belarus and Russia, while her mother's ancestry is Pennsylvania Dutch and white Barbadian. Paltrow's paternal great-great-grandfather, whose surname was "Paltrowicz," was a rabbi in Nowogród, Poland. Paltrow has a younger brother, Jake Paltrow, and is a half-cousin of actress Katherine Moennig, and a second cousin of former U.S. Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (AZ-08). Paltrow was raised in Santa Monica, where she attended Crossroads School, before enrolling in the Spence School, a private girls' school in New York City. Later, she briefly studied anthropology at the University of California, Santa Barbara, before dropping out to act. She is an "adopted daughter" of Talavera de la Reina (Spain), where at 15 she spent a year as an exchange student and learned to speak Spanish At the age of 24, Paltrow was engaged for six months to actor Brad Pitt, whom she dated from December 1994 to June 1997. The engagement was called off, according to Paltrow, because she was not ready for marriage, and she later felt responsible for hurting Pitt since she was "such a mess" during that time in her life. Paltrow has since said that, as this was her first high-profile relationship with another celebrity, it taught her the need for public discretion about her romantic life; she told Biography magazine, "I said things about being in a relationship [with Brad Pitt] that felt wrong to me even as I was saying them." Paltrow had an on-off three-year relationship with actor Ben Affleck from 1997 to late 2000. Soon after their breakup, Paltrow persuaded Affleck to work in the film Bounce with her; during the making of the film, which was shot in mid 1999, the couple started dating again and eventually broke up in October 2000.[68] In October 2002, Paltrow met Chris Martin of the British rock group Coldplay backstage three weeks after the death of her father, Bruce Paltrow. They married on December 5, 2003, in a ceremony at a hotel in Southern California. The couple have two children together: Apple Blythe Alison Martin (b. 2004) and Moses Bruce Anthony Martin (b. 2006) Paltrow explained Apple's very unusual first name on Oprah, saying: "It sounded so sweet and it conjured such a lovely picture for me – you know, apples are so sweet and they're wholesome and it's biblical – and I just thought it sounded so lovely and … clean! And I just thought, 'Perfect!'." She explained her son's first name came from the song, titled "Moses", that her husband wrote for her before their wedding. Paltrow cut down on work after becoming a mother. She also suffered from postpartum depression after the birth of her son, Moses. Paltrow's father came from a long line of influential East European rabbis, and that inspired Paltrow to raise her daughter and son in a Jewish environment. Paltrow has stated, "if you could see how much food I make – I am the original Jewish mother.

Schwenderöd ist ein Ortsteil der Gemeinde Birgland im Landkreis Amberg-Sulzbach in der bayerischen Oberpfalz.

Geografie
Der Weiler im Norden des Oberpfälzer Jura ist einer von 42 amtlich benannten Gemeindeteilen der Gemeinde Birgland im westlichen Teil der Oberpfalz. Das auf einer Höhe von  gelegene Schwenderöd ist etwa dreieinhalb Kilometer von dem nordöstlich liegenden Pfarrdorf Illschwang entfernt, in dem die Birglander Gemeindeverwaltung ihren Sitz hat.

Geschichte
Zwar hatten bereits zur Zeit der Bayerischen Uraufnahme zwei Anwesen am Ort des heutigen Weilers existiert, als eigenständige Ortschaft wurde Schwenderöd aber erst in den Jahren 1824 und 1832 gegründet. Dies erfolgte durch einen sogenannten "Ausbruch" aus dem Kirchdorf Schwend, dem die beiden Anwesen bis dahin zugeordnet waren. Schwenderöd wurde damit zu einem neuen Gemeindeteil der Landgemeinde Schwend, die zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts durch die Verwaltungsreformen im Königreich Bayern entstanden war. Im Zuge der kommunalen Gebietsreform in Bayern in den 1970er Jahren wurde Schwenderöd zusammen mit der gesamten Gemeinde Schwend am 1. Juli 1972 in die neu gebildete Flächengemeinde Birgland eingegliedert. Im Jahr 1987 zählte Schwenderöd 32 Einwohner.

Verkehr
Die aus dem Nordosten von Sulzbach-Rosenberg kommende Staatsstraße 2164 durchquert den Ort und führt über Schwend weiter nach Lauterhofen. Außerdem kreuzt sich im Ort die aus dem Westen von Burkartshof kommende Kreisstraße AS 3 mit der Staatsstraße, um anschließend in östlicher Richtung zum Illschwanger Ortsteil Augsberg weiterzuführen. Unmittelbar nördlich des Ortes befindet sich die Anschlussstelle Sulzbach-Rosenberg der Bundesautobahn 6. Der ÖPNV bedient das Dorf an einer Haltestelle der Buslinie 66 des VGN. Der am schnellsten erreichbare Bahnhof befindet sich in Sulzbach-Rosenberg an der Bahnstrecke Nürnberg–Schwandorf.
