Humour Chinese English
Sid and Al, both Jews, were having dinner in a Chinese restaurant. During their conversation, Sid asked Al, "Are there any Jews in China?" "I don't know," replied Al. "Why don't we ask our Chinese waiter?"
When the waiter came by, Al asked him, "Are there Chinese Jews?' The waiter said, "I don't know sir, let me ask," and went into the kitchen.
He returned a few minutes later and said, "No sir. No, Chinese Jews." "Are you sure?" Al asked. "I check again, sir," the waiter replied and went back to the kitchen.
While he was gone, Sid said to Al, "I can't believe there are no Jews in China. Our people are scattered everywhere." At this point, the waiter returned. "Sir, no Chinese Jews," he said. Are you really sure, man?"
Al asked again. "I can't believe there are no Chinese Jews." Exasperated, the waiter frantically said, "Sir, I ask everyone! "We have Apple Jews, Orange Jews, Tomato Jews and Grape Jews. But no one hear of Chinese Jews!"

Think
Today before you think of saying an unkind word
Think of someone who can't speak
Before you complain about the taste of your food
Think of someone who has nothing to eat
Before you complain about your husband or wife
Think of someone who's crying out to God for a companion
Today before you complain about life
Think of someone who went too early to heaven
Before you complain about your children
Think of someone who desires children but they're barren
Before you argue about your dirty house; someone didn't clean or sweep
Think of the people who are living in the streets
Before whining about the distance you drive
Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet
And when you are tired and complain about your job
Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job
But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another
Remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one maker
And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down
Put a smile on your face and thank God you're alive and still around
Life is a gift
Live it...
Enjoy it...
Celebrate it...
And fulfill it.
And while you are at it give love to someone today
Love someone with what you do and the words you say
Love is not meant to be kept locked inside of us and hidden
So give it away "Give Love to someone today!"

Angelina to Adopt Indian Baby
Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie plans to adopt an Indian baby to add to her growing international brood, media reported today.
The big-hearted actress and partner Brad Pitt have already applied to adopt a tot from an Indian orphanage, the Daily Mail said quoting sources.
The celebrity couple, who are currently in India for the filming of Jolie's latest movie "A Mighty Heart" hope to be able to bring the child home by Christmas, the source was quoted as saying.
"Brad would prefer a boy no older than 18 months to even out the sexes, but Angie has told him she can't guarantee she won't fall in love with a little girl," the source said.
Talking about the celebrity couple's latest adoption plans, a source told US magazine Globe: "Whichever they end up with, they'd like to name the child India to honour its homeland."
Between them, 31-year-old Jolie and 42-year-old Pitt already have three children to look after -- five-year-old Maddox, who was adopted from a Cambodian orphanage in 2002, Zahara Marley Jolie, an Ethioplian baby girl adopted last year, and their biological daughter Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, who was born in May this year.
The Tomb Raider star had said in the past that she would want to have one big multi-cultural family, with kids from all across the world.
"I want to create a rainbow family. That's children of different religions and cultures from different countries.
(Said Angelina)
"I believe I'm meant to find my children in the world and not necessarily have them genetically," she said.

Nice Jokes
A man walks past a beggar every day and gives him Rs. 10 and that Continues for a year. Then suddenly the daily donation changes to Rs. 7, 50.
"Well," the beggar thinks, "it's still better than nothing ."
A year passes in this way until the man's daily donation suddenly becomes Rs. 5.
"What's going on now?" the beggar asks his donor. "First you give me Rs. 10 every day, then Rs. 7,50 and now only Rs. 5. What's the problem?"
"Well," the man says, "last year my eldest son went to university. It's very expensive, so I had to cut costs. This year my eldest daughter also went to university, so I had to cut my expenses even further."

The Drug Problem
I guess I had a drug problem, too! When I was young, I was the drugee and later I was the druger!
The other day, someone at a store in our town read that a methamphetamine lab had been found in an old farmhouse in the adjoining county. He asked me a rhetorical question, ''Why didn't we have a drug problem when you and I were growing up?''
I replied, I did have a drug problem when I was young:
I was drug to church on Sunday morning.
I was drug to church for weddings and funerals.
I was drug to family reunions and community socials, no matter the weather.
I was drug by my ears when I was disrespectful to adults.
I was also drug to the woodshed when I disobeyed my parents, told a lie, brought home a bad report card, did not speak with respect, spoke ill of the teacher or the preacher, or if I didn't put forth my best effort in everything that was asked of me.
I was drug to the kitchen sink to have my mouth washed out with soap if I uttered a profane four-letter word.
I was drug out to pull weeds in mom's garden and flowerbeds and cockleburs out of dad's fields.
I was drug to the homes of family, friends, and neighbors to help out some poor soul who had no one to mow the yard, repair the clothesline, or chop some firewood; and, if my mother had ever known that I took a single dime as a tip for this kindness, she would have drug me back to the woodshed.
Those drugs are still in my veins; and they affect my behavior in everything I do, say, and think. They are stronger than cocaine, crack, or heroin; and, if today's children had this kind of drug problem, America would be a better place.

Can Make-up Ruin Your Skin????
By Dr Parul Kolhe M B B S, DDV and DNB in dermatology
You might have felt a thrill when applying that forbidden lipstick at the age of 12. Or experimented with kiss-proof lipstick on a date. Or used a foundation to cover up those blemishes, crows feet and wrinkles.
Make-up can be a woman's best friend. However, if used incorrectly it can also be your skin's worst enemy. Some women use up to 12 cosmetic products per day, exposing themselves to about 175 different chemicals!
Here are some dos and don'ts on how to buy, use and maintain your make-up, so it does not spoil your skin.
Don'ts
1) Hold on to old cosmetics:
Throw out everything that's been on your shelf for more than two years. Cosmetics have a shelf life of one or two years and after that the chemicals start to degenerate, the oils become rancid and the emulsions start to separate making them potentially harmful. So it makes sense to buy one or two lipsticks every six months rather than buying a dozen in one go and hording them for years.
2) Share make-up that's directly applied onto skin :
These include lipsticks, eyeliners, mascara etc. You'd be sharing your skin's bacteria and spreading infections, too.
3) Add water to dilute caked or thickened mascara and eyeliner :
You're adding a potential source of infection -- water -- which contains micro-organisms. Increased water content in a product creates an optimum environment for bacterial multiplication. You can get styes, conjunctivitis or deadlier fungal eye infections.
4) Use make-up with these ingredients:
Watch out for two potential irritants in your make-up.
1). Parabens: A group of chemicals used as preservatives in cosmetics. The solution is to use paraben free products.
2). Sodium lauryl sulphate: A chemical used in cosmetics for the basic purpose of increasing the spreadability of products like cream. This chemical is proven to be allergic to many skin types.
5) Sleep with make-up on:
No matter how tired you are -- always remove makeup before you go to bed. Your skin will thank you for it.
Scrub off long lasting make-up with tissues/ peel off waterproof liners or mascara with your nails :
These make-up products contain special chemicals to make them more adherent and you could end up damaging your skin. Use recommended cleansing pads or lotions to remove them gently.
Layer on evening make-up over your daytime make-up
It's worth spending a little extra time removing your day make-up. Give your skin some time to breathe, rub an ice cube all over and then apply fresh make-up. Stale make-up trapped under a fresh coat can clog up your pores and have a deleterious/ harmful effect.
Dos:
Buy makeup that suits your skin type :
For instance you must use souffl�s for oily skin, a moisturising foundation for dry skin, hypoallergenic cream for sensitive skin, non-comedogenic make-up for acne-prone skin (non-comedogenic products help to prevent blackheads) etc.
Invest in quality brands:
Buy one lipstick instead of four cheaper ones. It's worth the money.
A test patch of any product you're trying out on the inside of your arm:
If after 24 hours no redness or reaction develops, go ahead and buy it.
Clean your make-up tools :
This includes lip brushes, sponges, rouge brushes, powder puffs regularly, or replace them every few months. Leftover cosmetic residue is greasy and sticky, and breeds bacteria. You can use mild liquid detergents meant for wool and silks, to wash your tools.
Apply moisturiser on your skin a few minutes before your make-up :
It hydrates your skin and forms a protective barrier, which shields your skin from excess contact with chemicals.

How To Be A Good Guest
As a guest you are likely to share the responsibility for the success of a party. But are you the kind of guest that gets regularly invited? Well, here are a few tips to make you the kind of good guest who is welcome at anybody's table.
Respond to your invitation. Let your host know (and no later than the stated RSVP date) whether or not you can attend the party. This way your hosts can make plans knowing the exact number of guests who will be attending.
Ask if you can contribute anything to the meal/party. The hostess may be relieved to have someone take charge of one of the courses, such as an appetizer, side dish or dessert.
If you have the time, offer to come a little earlier than the other guests to help with pre-party setup. But if your offer is accepted, don't be late - your hostess will be counting on you.
Arrive at a dinner party on-time. Most people love to start a party or meal s on time. You wouldn't want to hold up the meal and spoil the food for everyone else.
When the meal is over, ask your hostess if you can help clear the table. But if her answer is "no thanks", then just relax and leave things alone. If you see the hostess frantically cleaning in the kitchen after the meal is over, offer to help.
Be friendly and make conversation with other guests. Your acceptance to mingle with others is what will lead to the party’s success.
Do not raise a conversation of a sensitive topic; especially one that you know will cause dissension among that particular group of guests.
Drink responsibly. Your host may be serving alcoholic beverages to complement the meal, but it doesn't mean he/she wants to have a group of sloppy drunks on their hands at the end of the party.

Manners: Do's and Dont's at The Gym
During the summer, the gym is usually busier and more crowded. Exercising at a health club or fitness center calls for considering those around you. Here’s how:
- This is the number one “do” and the most important etiquette rule at the gym:
Wipe up your sweat, please! This includes mats and machines. Keep a towel with you at all times. No one wants to sit or lie in someone else’s sweat. - Don’t hog the weight machines.
- When others want to use them, agree to rotate your sets.
- Do reset the weight machines back to a low setting.
Otherwise, the next person may have to spend resetting them—or worse—could injure themselves by trying to lift a weight that’s too heavy. - Do limit your time on the treadmill or other cardio machines to 20-30 minutes if others are waiting for a turn.
- Don’t flirt
If you’re into flirting, and you find a receptive party, flirt only when you won’t be disturbing others around you. If you try to strike up a conversation with someone you find attractive and he or she gives you the brush off (no matter how politely), drop your overture then and there. - Do obey the fitness center’s rules.
These may include wearing correct workout shoes, not using cell phones, and signing in at the front desk. - Do think about how you smell!
Arrive clean, remember to apply deodorant, and lay off the perfume and cologne (the aromas get stronger as you work up a sweat). - Don’t be late for personal training sessions and group fitness classes.
- Do your part to keep the gym and locker room clean.
Keep your clothes and other personal items stored in lockers. Clean up after yourself in the showers, sinks, and changing areas. Deposit used towels in their receptacles.

Interacting with People in Wheelchairs
First and foremost you must remember that people with disabilities are individuals – they may be your friends, your co-workers, your neighbours. When dealing with people who use wheelchairs you must know that they might have different disabilities and varying abilities. Some can use their arms and hands. Some can get out of their wheelchairs and even walk for short distances.
Here are some important tips to keep in mind when interacting with people who use wheelchairs or have mobility impairments -
Here are some important tips to keep in mind when interacting with people who use wheelchairs or have mobility impairments -
- Wheelchair users are people, not equipment. Don't lean over someone in a wheelchair to shake another person's hand or ask a wheelchair user to hold coats. Setting your drink on the desktop attached to someone's wheelchair is a definite no-no.
- Don't push or touch a person's wheelchair; it's part of her personal space. If you help someone down a curb without waiting for instructions, you may dump him or her out of the chair. You may detach the chair's parts if you lift it by the handles or the footrest.
- Keep the ramps and wheelchair-accessib le doors to your building unlocked and unblocked.
- Be aware of a wheelchair users' reach limits. Place as many items as possible within their grasp. Make sure that there is a clear path of travel to shelves and display racks.
- When talking to a wheelchair user, grab your own chair and sit at his or her level. If that's not possible, stand at a slight distance, so that he/she isn't straining her neck to make eye contact with you.
- If your building has different routes through it, be sure that signs direct wheelchair users to the most accessible ways around the facility. People who walk with a cane or crutches also need to know the easiest was to get around a place, but stairs may be easier for them than a ramp. Ensure that security guards and receptionists at your business can answer questions about the most accessible way around the building.
- People who use canes or crutches need their arms to balance themselves, so never grab them. Mobility-impaired people may lean on a door for support as they open it. Pushing them or quickly opening the door may cause them to fall. Even pulling out or pushing in a chair may present a problem. Always ask before offering help.
- If you offer a seat to a mobility-impaired person, keep in mind that chairs with arms are easier for some people to use.
- Falls are a big problem for people with mobility impairments. Be sure to set out adequate warning signs after washing floors. Also put out mats on rainy or snowy days to keep the floors as dry as possible. (Make sure they don't bunch up and make the floor impassable for wheelchair users.)
- People who are not visibly mobility impaired may have needs related to their mobility. For example, a person with a respiratory or heart condition may have trouble walking long distances or walking quickly.
Water & Cup
This one is wonderful story and relevant to what is happening in our life daily……just simple but good one.
Want Water or Cups?
A group of working adults got together to visit their University lecturer. The lecturer was happy to see them. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.
The Lecturer just smiled and went to the kitchen to get an assortment of cups - some porcelain, some in plastic, some in glass, some plain looking and some looked rather expensive and exquisite.
The Lecturer offered his former students the cups to get drinks for
themselves.
When all the students had a cup in hand with water, the Lecturer spoke:"If you noticed, all the nice looking, expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal that you only want the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. What all you wanted was water, not the cup, but we unconsciously went for the better cups."
"Just like in life, if Life is Water, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold/maintain Life, but the quality of Life doesn't change."
"If we only concentrate on the cup, we won't have time to enjoy/taste the water in it."
"Faith gives us a new vision of the world. Without it we see only the darker side of life. We are still slaves. It is faith which liberates us and makes us see the Spirit of power and love at work in our lives. "
Never take some one for granted, Hold every person Close to your Heart because you might wake up one day and realise that you have lost a diamond while you were too busy collecting stones." Remember this always in life.

SHARPEN YOUR AXE
This is now happens every where. Read the following with utmost care.
A young man who graduated yesterday and stops learning today will become uneducated tomorrow.
John, a woodcutter, worked for a Company for five years but never got a raise. The Company hired Bill and within a year he got a promotion. This caused resentment in John and he went to his Boss to talk about it. The Boss said, "You are still cutting the same number of trees you were cutting five years ago. We are a result-oriented company and would be happy to give you a raise if your productivity goes up."
John went back started hitting harder and putting in longer hours but he still wasn't able to cut more trees. He went back to his Boss and told him his dilemma. The Boss asked John to go and talk to Bill. "Maybe there is something Bill knows that you and I don't."
John asked Bill how he managed to cut more trees. Bill answered, "After every tree I cut, I take a break for two minutes and 'sharpen my axe'. When was the last time you sharpened your axe?"
This question hit home like a bullet and John got his answer.
`When was the last time you sharpened your axe?' If you want to progress in life, you cannot rest on your past laurels. You must continuously sharpen your axe of knowledge, skill and expertise, in whatever field of activity you may be!
By sharpening your axe appropriately, I wish you to attain your goals.

Early Death Comes from Drinking Distilled Water
by Zoltan P. Rona, MD, MSc
During nearly 19 years of clinical practice I have had the opportunity to observe the health effects of drinking different types of water. Most of you would agree that drinking unfiltered tap water could be hazardous to your health because of things like parasites, chlorine, fluoride and dioxins.
Many health fanatics, however, are often surprised to hear me say that drinking distilled water on a regular, daily basis is potentially dangerous.
Paavo Airola wrote about the dangers of distilled water in the 1970's when it first became a fad with the health food crowd.
Distillation is the process in which water is boiled, evaporated and the vapour condensed. Distilled water is free of dissolved minerals and, because of this, has the special property of being able to actively absorb toxic substances from the body and eliminate them. Studies validate the benefits of drinking distilled water when one is seeking to cleanse or detoxify the system for short periods of time (a few weeks at a time).
Fasting using distilled water can be dangerous because of the rapid loss of electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride) and trace minerals like magnesium, deficiencies of which can cause heart beat irregularities and high blood pressure. Cooking foods in distilled water pulls the minerals out of them and lowers their nutrient value.
Distilled water is an active absorber and when it comes into contact with air, it absorbs carbon dioxide, making it acidic. The more distilled water a person drinks, the higher the body acidity becomes. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, "Distilled water, being essentially mineral-free, is very aggressive, in that it tends to dissolve substances with which it is in contact. Notably, carbon dioxide from the air is rapidly absorbed, making the water acidic and even more aggressive. Many metals are dissolved by distilled water."
The most toxic commercial beverages that people consume (i.e. cola beverages and other soft drinks) are made from distilled water. Studies have consistently shown that heavy consumers of soft drinks (with or without sugar) spill huge amounts of calcium, magnesium and other trace minerals into the urine. The more mineral loss, the greater the risk for osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, hypothyroidism, coronary artery disease, high blood pressure and a long list of degenerative diseases generally associated with premature aging.
A growing number of health care practitioners and scientists from around the world have been advocating the theory that aging and disease is the direct result of the accumulation of acid waste products in the body.
There is a great deal of scientific documentation that supports such a theory. A poor diet may be partially to blame for the waste accumulation. Meats, sugar, white flour products, fried foods, soft drinks, processed foods, alcohol, dairy products and other junk foods cause the body to become more acidic. Stress, whether mental or physical can lead to acid deposits in the body.
There is a correlation between the consumption of soft water (distilled water is extremely soft) and the incidence of cardiovascular disease. Cells, tissues and organs do not like to be dipped in acid and will do anything to buffer this acidity including the removal of minerals from the skeleton and the manufacture of bicarbonate in the blood.
The longer one drinks distilled water, the more likely the development of mineral deficiencies and an acid state. I have done well over 3000 mineral evaluations using a combination of blood, urine and hair tests in my practice. Almost without exception, people who consume distilled water exclusively, eventually develop multiple mineral deficiencies.
Those who supplement their distilled water intake with trace minerals are not as deficient but still not as adequately nourished in minerals as their non-distilled water drinking counterparts even after several years of mineral supplementation.
The ideal water for the human body should be slightly alkaline and this requires the presence of minerals like calcium and magnesium.
Distilled water tends to be acidic and can only be recommended as a way of drawing poisons out of the body. Once this is accomplished, the continued drinking of distilled water is a bad idea.
Water filtered through reverse osmosis tends to be neutral and is acceptable for regular use provided minerals are supplemented.
Water filtered through a solid charcoal filter is slightly alkaline. Ozonation of this charcoal filtered water is ideal for daily drinking. Longevity is associated with the regular consumption of hard water (high in minerals). Disease and early death is more likely to be seen with the long term drinking of distilled water. Avoid it except in special circumstances.

Frequently Asked Questions about Monkeys
Q: What do monkeys do?
A: Monkeys always copy what other people do.
Q: Do monkeys exist on the internet?
A: It was known that monkeys do roam around on the internet. However, instead of copying, they do pasting jobs as well. And cursing. And cursing. And more cursing.
Q: What is so bad about having monkeys around?
A: They stole from the others. But when the others stole from them, they cursed and cursed like there’s no tomorrow. As if the things stolen were theirs at the first place. They usually gather in a troop. There is usually a monkey king, the leader of the troop. Other monkeys lick their king’s butt all the time. Generally, they are easily irritated. As commonly known, they always think they are the smartest living organisms in the world wide web.
Q: Hmm… but are you a monkey too?
A: I’m not. To study their behaviour, I had to imitate them. Or you can call me Robin Hood if you want to.
Q: What if you get caught by their monkey king?
A: I’m well prepared. I’ve got my own plan; to remain calm and anonymous. =) And a group of people to support me. Many thanks to my research team.
Q: Come on! Come on! Tell me where the monkeys usually hang out on the internet?! I want to know!
A: Surprise! They are everywhere….and easily recognisable! So worry not about finding them, they will find you instead! (and they’ll find me too…sob sob)….
Have a great monkey day!

I Miss You
Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world,
which I find myself constantly walking around in the
daytime, and falling in at night. I miss you like
hell. ~Edna St. Vincent Millay
Love is missing someone whenever you're apart, but
somehow feeling warm inside because you're close in
heart. ~Kay Knudsen
Sometimes, when one person is missing, the whole world
seems depopulated. ~Lamartine
All days are nights to see till I see thee,
And nights bright days when dreams do show thee to me.
~William Shakespeare, "Sonnet XLIII"
Can miles truly separate you from friends.... If you
want to be with someone you love, aren't you already
there? ~Richard Bach
How like a winter hath my absence been
From thee, the pleasure of the fleeting year!
What freezings have I felt, what dark days seen!
What old December's bareness everywhere!
~William Shakespeare, "Sonnet XCVII"
Nothing makes the earth seem so spacious as to have
friends at a distance; they make the latitudes and
longitudes. ~Henry David Thoreau
If I had a single flower for every time I think about
you, I could walk forever in my garden. ~Attributed
to Claudia Ghandi
Within you I lose myself...
Without you I find myself
Wanting to be lost again.
~Author Unknown
Parting is all we know of heaven and all we need to
know of hell. ~Emily Dickinson, "Parting"
Gone - flitted away,
Taken the stars from the night and the sun
From the day!
Gone, and a cloud in my heart.
~Alfred Tennyson
Absence from whom we love is worse than death, and
frustrates hope severer than despair. ~William Cowper
What is the opposite of two? A lonely me, a lonely
you. ~Richard Wilbur
No distance of place or lapse of time can lessen the
friendship of those who are thoroughly persuaded of
each other's worth. ~Robert Southey
Your absence has gone through me
Like thread through a needle
Everything I do is stitched with its color.
~W.S. Merwin, "Separation"
Thou art gone from my gaze like a beautiful dream.
And I seek thee in vain by the meadow and stream.
~George Linley
Love reckons hours for months, and days for years; and
every little absence is an age. ~John Dryden
Every parting is a form of death, as every reunion is
a type of heaven. ~Tryon Edwards
When I go away from you
The world beats dead
Like a slackened drum....
~Amy Lowell, "The Taxi"
Life is so short, so fast the lone hours fly,
We ought to be together, you and I.
~Author Unknown
As contraries are known by contraries, so is the
delight of presence best known by the torments of
absence. ~Alcibiades
Oft in the tranquil hour of night,
When stars illume the sky,
I gaze upon each orb of light,
And wish that thou wert by.
~George Linley
Days of absence, sad and dreary,
Clothed in sorrow's dark array, -
Days of absence, I am weary;
She I love is far away.
~Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The reason it hurts so much to separate is because our
souls are connected. ~Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook
What shall I do with all the days and hours
That must be counted ere I see thy face?
How shall I charm the interval that lowers
Between this time and that sweet time of grace?
~Frances Anne Kemble
I keep coming back to you in my head, but you couldn't
know that, and I have no carbons. ~Adrienne Rich
I am tired, Beloved,
of chafing my heart against
the want of you;
of squeezing it into little inkdrops,
And posting it.
~Amy Lowell, "The Letter"
I dropped a tear in the ocean. The day you find it is
the day I will stop missing you. ~Author Unknown
To die and part is a less evil; but to part and live,
there, there is the torment. ~George Lansdowne
In the hope to meet
Shortly again, and make our absence sweet.
~Ben Jonson
The joy of meeting pays the pangs of absence; else who
could bear it? ~Nicholas Rowe
Why can't we get all the people together in the world
that we really like and then just stay together? I
guess that wouldn't work. Someone would leave.
Someone always leaves. Then we would have to say
good-bye. I hate good-byes. I know what I need. I
need more hellos. ~Charles M. Schulz
Where'er I roam, whatever realms to see,
My heart untravelled, fondly turns to thee;
Still to my brother turns, with ceaseless pain,
And drags at each remove a lengthening chain.
~Oliver Goldsmith, The Traveller
Missing someone gets easier every day because even
though it's one day further from the last time you saw
each other, it's one day closer to the next time you
will. ~Author Unknown
We only part to meet again. ~John Gay
She went her unremembering way,
She went and left in me
The pang of all the partings gone,
And partings yet to be.
~Francis Thompson
One kind kiss before we part,
Drop a tear, and bid adieu;
Though we sever, my fond heart
Till we meet shall pant for you.
~Robert Dodsley
As the presence of those we love is as a double life,
so absence, in its anxious longing and sense of
vacancy, is as a foretaste of death. ~Anna Brownell
Jameson
Ye flowers that drop, forsaken by the spring,
Ye birds that, left by summer, cease to sing,
Ye trees that fade, when Autumn heats remove,
Say, is not absence death to those who love?
~Alexander Pope
A goodbye isn't painful unless you're never going to
say hello again. ~Author Unknown
Don't be dismayed by good-byes. A farewell is
necessary before you can meet again. And meeting
again after moments or a lifetime is certain for those
who are friends. ~Richard Bach
Ever absent, ever near;
Still I see thee, still I hear;
Yet I cannot reach thee, dear!
~Francis Kazinczy
Missing you could turn from pain to pleasure, if I
knew you were missing me too. ~Author Unknown
Absence diminishes little passions and increases great
ones, as the wind extinguishes candles and fans a
fire. ~Francois Duc de la Rochefoucauld, translated
from French
The eternal quest of the individual human being is to
shatter his loneliness. ~Norman Cousins
It is loneliness that makes the loudest noise. This
is true of men as of dogs. ~Eric Hoffer
I think we dream so we don't have to be apart so long.
If we're in each other's dreams, we can play together
all night. ~Bill Watterson, Calvin & Hobbes

Dengue Fever...
What is Dengue?
Dengue mosquitoes bite in the early morning and the late afternoon.
Where does the Denque mosquitoe live?
The mosquito rests indoors, in closets and other dark places. Outside, they rest where it is cool and shaded. The female mosquito lays her eggs in water containers in and around homes, schools and other areas in towns or villages. The larvae, known as wigglers, hatch from the mosquitoe eggs, and live in the water for about a week; they then change into a round pupal stage for one or two days, after which the adult mosquito emerges, ready to bite.
Where does the Denque mosquitoe breed?
Dengue mosquitoes breed in any water-catching or storage containers in shaded or sunny places. Favored breeding places are- Barrels, drums, jars, pots, buckets, flower vases, plant saucers, tanks, cisterns, bottles, tins, tyres, pans, plant saucers and roof gutters, refrigerator drip pans, catch basins, drains, soak-away pits, cement blocks, cemetery urns, plant leaf axils, bamboo stumps, tree cavities and a lot more places where rainwater collects or is stored.
How is Denque spread?
Dengue is spread by the bite of an infected female, Aedes aegypti mosquitoe which has got the dengue virus by taking a blood meal on a person who is ill with dengue. The infected mosquito then transmits the disease through its bite to other people who in turn becomes ill, and the chain continues.
There is no way to tell if a mosquito is carrying the dengue virus, therefore people must protect themselves from all mosquito bites, which will also protect against malaria and other mosquito-borne diseases.
How can Denque be prevented?
As there is no drug to cure dengue or vaccine to prevent it, there are two key measures that can be applied to prevent the spread of Dengue.
Elimination of mosquitoe breeding places
People can protect themselves from mosquito bites by using any of the following means:
A fact sheet on Prevention of Dengue by Division of Control of Tropical Diseases and Division of Communicable Diseases, World Health Organization
- Dengue is a serious viral disease transmitted by the bite of the mosquito, Aedes aegypti.
- Dengue occurs in two forms: dengue fever and dengue haemorrhagic fever.
- Dengue fever is a severe, flu-like illness that affects older children and adults but rarely causes death.
- Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is a second more severe form, in which bleeding and occasionally shock occur, leading to death; it is most serious in children.
- Persons suspected of having dengue fever or DHF must see a doctor at once.
- Dengue haemorrhagic fever is a deadly disease and early diagnosis and treatment can save lives. Unless proper treatment is given promptly, the patient may go into shock and die.
- The symptoms of dengue fever vary according to the age and general health of the patient. Infants and young children may have a fever with a measles-like rash, which is difficult to distinguish from influenza, measles, malaria, infectious hepatitis and other diseases with fever. Older children and adults may have similar symptoms or symptoms ranging from mild illness to very severe disease.
- Abrupt onset of high fever
- Severe frontal headache
- Pain behind the eyes which worsens with eye movement
- Muscle and joint pains
- Loss of sense of taste and appetite
- Measles-like rash over chest and upper limbs
- Nausea and vomiting
- Characteristics of Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever & Shock
- Symptoms similar to dengue fever
- Severe and continuous stomach pains
- Pale, cold or clammy skin
- Bleeding from the nose, mouth and gums and skin bruising
- Frequent vomiting with or without blood
- Sleepiness and restlessness
- Constant crying
- Excessive thirst (dry mouth)
- Rapid weak pulse
- Difficulty in breathing
- Fainting
- Who is most affected?Children, tourists and travellers are usually at a higher risk for Dengue transmission. However, adults living in endemic areasare in danger too.
Dengue mosquitoes bite in the early morning and the late afternoon.

How can Denque be prevented?
As there is no drug to cure dengue or vaccine to prevent it, there are two key measures that can be applied to prevent the spread of Dengue.
Elimination of mosquitoe breeding places
- Cover water containers -Tight covers on water storage containers, will prevent the mosquitoes laying their eggs there. If the cover is loose, mosquitoes can go in and out.
- Septic tanks and soak-away pits -Cover and seal these, so that dengue mosquitoes cannot breed there.
- Removal of rubbish -Garbage articles and other rubbish found around houses can collect rainwater. They should be removed or smashed and buried in the ground or burned, where this is permissible.
- Biological control -Mosquito wigglers can be controlled by small larva-eating fish, such as guppies. These fish can be found in streams or ponds or obtained through pet shops. Bacterial pesticides will also kill mosquito wigglers.
- Chemical control -Safe and easily used larvicides such as temephos sand core granules can be placed in water containers to kill developing wigglers.
People can protect themselves from mosquito bites by using any of the following means:
- Mosquito coils and electric vapour mats -Slow burning mosquito coils or electric vapour mats are effective in the rainy season, just after sunrise and/or in the afternoon hours before sunset, when dengue mosquitoes bite.
- Mosquito nets -Nets placed over sleeping places can protect small children and others who may rest during the day. The effectiveness of such nets can be improved by treating them with permethrin (a pyrethroid insecticide) . Curtains (cloth or bamboo) can also be treated with insecticide and hung at windows or doorways, to repel or kill mosquitoes.
- Repellents -Mosquitoe repellents can be applied to exposed parts of the body where mosquitoes bite. Care should be taken in using repellents on small children and the elderly.
- Screens -Screens on windows and doorways are effective protection against the entry of mosquitoes in homes.
- Protection of people sick with dengue -Mosquitoes become infected when they bite people who are sick with dengue. Mosquito nets and mosquito coils will effectively prevent mosquitoes from biting sick people and help stop the spread of dengue.
