Taking Care Of Dengue

In most cases, uncomplicated cases of dengue can be well-managed at home, provided the treatment is carried under expert medical supervision. There are no specific vaccines for dengue. It is treated symptomatically. The principal aim is to control the abrupt temperature fluctuation, maintain adequate hydration and provide relief from joint pain and abstinence from exertion.

1. Patients should have plenty of fluids like water, fresh fruit juice, coconut water, light soup, ORS solution etc. It is better to a void cola and other fizzy drinks, which may contain harmful chemical.

2. Since dengue is a viral illness, antibiotics are of no use. But doctors may prescribe it if there are signs of secondary bacterial infection.

3. Paracetamol can be taken to bring down fever and provide relief from debilitating joint pain.

4. Aspirin and non steroidal anti inflammatory medicines like Ibuprofen should not be taken since they increase the risk of bleeding.

5. Patients should be kept with in mosquito net to avoid the risk of mosquito bite and spreading of infection.

6. Infants, children, elderly and those with low immunity should stay a way from the dengue patient till the infection is cleared.

7. Sufficient rest facilitates rapid recovery.

Ambition-Love

This is a special kind of narration to love. This love relates to a student and his education life. Every student in his education life wants to become some thing (which we call as ambition) like a Doctor, Engineer, Cost Accountant etc, but in order to achieve his ambitions a student has to face so many hurdles in his education life like diverting his concentration into other aspects which are not related to his education.

In the order to reach his ambition, the student must treat his ambition as a girlfriend and he should love his ambition. So this kind of love needs three characteristics (1) Dedication (2) Concentration (3) Hard work.

DEDICATION :- If once a student frames an ambition we must dedicate his entire life to that ambition. He should not concentrate on any other matter. This dedication should come wholeheartedly. To understand clearly a small example, if a girlfriend wants his boy friend to meet her this time then the boy friend meets her even though it is difficult. A student must dedicate his entire life to his ambition even though any difficulty arises.

CONCENTRATION :- If a student wants to become a professional in his life. He has to understand the subject thoroughly. So, in order to understand the subject he needs concentration. If lecturer teaches in the class if his concentration is some where then it is difficult to understand the subject. So if he once dedicate his life to the ambition then he can concentrate on the lecturer speech effectively. When he effectively understood the subject it will become easy and there is no need to study many times, he can automatically achieve his targets easily.

HARDWORK :- The above two features are sufficient to fulfill his ambition. This hard work helps the students to expose his talent to society. A small example if he did hard work and study many hours he will get a rank. This rank will expose a student in the society.

So, think a little bit and frame an ambition, treat the ambition as love and try to reach the high position in your life.

The Power Of Persistence

Gabriela Andersen-Scheiss, a thirty-nine-year-old runner from Switzerland, demonstrated the meaning of persistence to the entire world in her dramatic finish of the marathon in the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeless.

She had no hope of earning a medal. Her body’s tissues were desiccated from the hours of running under a pitiless sun and she’s fallen twenty minutes behind the leaders. Thirty runners had already completed the 26-mile, 385-yard event when Gabriela came lurching through the tunnel and into the coliseum.

The seventy thousand spectators went to their feet to cheer her on as she staggered in a weaving half- run around the arena. It took five agonizing minutes for her to complete the final lap.

When she finally crossed the finish line and collapsed into the arms of the doctors, the ovation she received was louder and more sustained than the one that had been given to Joan Benoit, the winner of the Gold Medal. The spectators recognized that, even though Gabriela came in thirty- seventh, she was a winner.

What relationship does that pain-wracked, dehydrated woman’s struggle to finish her race bear to your performance as an agent?

Plenty!

You are in race every bit demanding as a marathon. The conditions are totally different, of cource. The crowd that will cheer you on at the end may be small, or even nonexistent. But you must keep running, day after day even when there’s no hope of getting a medal.

Why?

Because, like Gabriela Andersen- Scheiss, you don’t have to be among the top three to be a winner. You simply have to do your best every step of the way and finish as well as you can. For as the oft-repeated homily attributed to Calvin Coolidge puts it:

Nothing else in the world can take the place of persistence. Tallent
Will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not;
The world is full educated derelicts. Persisatence and determination alone are
Omnipotent.

Planning Tips For Real Estate Investment

The saying, ‘timing is everything’ holds good for almost everything, especially for real estate investments. Deploying funds at their peak could be quite detrimental. For example, someone who invested in a 2BHK around mid-2008, would have regretted it when a similar flat was being sold at a 10 to 15 percent lower price this year.

In addition, he would also have ended up grappling with high interest rates. For investments such as equities, you have simpler routes to counter the ‘market timing’ bit – like the systematic investment. However, there is no such luck with real estate investment. Here are a few quickies on how to go about planning your realty investment.

1. Funding Aspects

2. Structuring the Deal

3. Yield form Investment

4. Prepare for the Unexpected

5. Liability vs. Cover

Fog-swept hills, rolling countryside with pristine valleys and gushing waterfalls: Coorg the coffee mug of India, is what dreams are made of. Just 250 kms from Bangalore.

COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY WORD

It is only logical that Education must enable an individual to become useful so that the family, community and the nation will benefit. Education should help to distinguish between right and wrong; and to arrive at correct decisions about the matter under discussion Achieving greatness or satisfaction in your career is not a fluent gun to tape victory. It requires a systematic approach to your work schedule. Many people, though educated, feel they are isolated. May be because they’re not developed the necessary skills of communication.

Knowledge possessed by a person without communicative skills is like the wealth with a mises. Like water gushing from a riverbed on digging its sand, knowledge expands through effective communication. Normally the communicative skills develop with the assistance of a ‘Teacher’ This necessisates good communicative skills on the part of the teacher. To achieve such skills a lot of reading, active participation in discussions, seminars, refresher and orientation causes are necessary. So that the teacher can have an aptitude for the subject, give his heart and soul to impart a better knowledge of communication to his pupils. Its worth saying that school education has a vital note to play in the outstanding career of an individual; and the essential guts and tacts to rush on the tracks of like softly and smoothly are therefore to be encouraged and developed as a part of this school education.

No hourse gets any where unless it is harnessed; no ornament of gold can be made unless the necessary copper is added to pure gold, no diamond has a high value unless it is properly cut; no life is great unless it is disciplined no education is complete unless it develops communicative skills in the individual. So lets try to improve this skill and serve the mankind a better way-and thus to prove.

“Education is the fruit from the tree of life;
Let the seed of this fruit plant the unplanted tree of life”

-Swami vivekananda

Story Of The Noble Prize

Noble Prize is instituted by Alfred Noble born in stock holm, Sweden on October 21,1833. It is be given year after year in the month of October, in recognition of excellence of the highest order in physics, chemistry, medicine, economics, Literature and peace.

At the age of 17, Alfred Noble was a mutilinguist, fluent in Swedish, Rumain French English and German. His Primary interests were English literature and poetry as well as Chemistry and physics. He was sent abroad by his father for further training in Chemical Engineering. There his great ability to combine the penetrating mind of the scientist and inventors like Italinan Chemist Ascanio, Soberero, who had invented nitroglycerine, a highly explosive liquid, which exceeded that of gun power and John erisson of U.S.A who had developed the screw propeller for ships.

Back home in Russia in 1863 Alfred Noble Concentrated on developing nitroglycerine as an explosive, 1867, he patented this material under the name of dynamic. The marked for dynamic and detonator (blasting cap) grew rapidly and Alfred Noble proved himself to a very skill full entrepreneur and boogieman. He continued working on the development of explosive technology as well as other chemical inventions including synthetic rubber, leather and artifical silk. He had 355 patents on his credit by the time of his death in 1896.

He was very much interested in social and peace, related issues and help what were considred radical views in his era the Noble Prizes became an extension and a fulfillment of his lifetime interest. His will says “The whole of my remaining relisable estate shall be death with in the following way.

The said interest shall be divided into live equal parts and distributed equally among the live persons who get the recognition of excellance of highest order in the physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Economics, Literature and peace.

J300 Cruze -Interior Design

It doesn’t take much of a genius to figure that the designers held the upper hand in the interior design than the engineers. So much so that “Wow” will be your exclamation once you get in- you’re meeting Dr. Jekyll on entry, but a half hour into the journey, you get rudely introduced to Mr. Hyde. The steering compound is a bit too hard, especially for hands not used to masonry or rock climbing.

But then, we should not forget what Dr. Jekyll is trying to do here: we Indians love chrome, so the generous helpings of it on the tacho, the speedo, the fuel gauge, the temp gauge, the gear knob, the hand brake, the everywhere, is good and in the thank-you-so-much category.

Also the first car that GM India sells with the indicator stalk on the right and wiper control stalk on the left, instead of the usual left hand drive orientation. The parking sensors are top notch, detecting everything, right from metal cages to thin poles to people standing at the back – more than compensating for the Mr. Hyde rearview mirror and reversing lights.

The AC is good, and the sound system is also in the Dr. Jekyll realm. Rear passengers in the Cruze are treated great, with 39.4 inches of headroom in front and 37.9 inches in back. The rear seats can be folded down, and trunk space is decent at 15.9 cubic feet. In the case of sudden lockup of the doors there is an emergency exit behind the rear seat which can be opened after folding the rear seat. Less decent though is the fiddly, hard-to-reach lever that adjusts the front seatbacks.

The key (literally) to all this is actually not a key – except for an emergency attachment if your batteries die down – it is a sensor. Anybody can open the doors with a mere pull of the handle if you are within a two-meter range of the car. Once you move away from the car, the Cruze will lock automatically; the touch sensor on the chrome driver’s door handle also can lock the car.
