Answer to Question 1

 The drummer in a Javanese gamelan acts as conductor, controlling the tempo and the dynamics . . . The drummer's conducting' is accomplished purely through sound signals while the drummer sits unobtrusively in the middle of the ensemble.

Answer to Question 2

 Javanese gendhing normally have three parts to their titles, the formal structure, the melody, and the scale system.
Bubaran refers to the formal structure of the piece; in this case, bubaran means sixteen beats per major phrase, four kenong beats per major phrase. (The kenong is the largest of the kettle gongs.)
 Kembang Pacar (a kind of red flower) is the name of a particular melody.
 plog is the scale system used in the modal category of pathet nem.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
