Fighting Dengue

Dengue fever is a disease caused by a family of viruses that are transmitted by mosquitoes. The virus is contracted from the bite of a striped mosquito that has previously bitten an infected person. The mosquito flourishes during rainy seasons but can breed in water filled flower pots, plastic bags, and cans year-round. The virus is not contagious and cannot be spread directly from person to person. There must be a person-to-mosquito-to-another-person pathway.

Mosquitoes which spread Dengue live and breed in stagnant water in and around houses, and places where solid waste is dumped. In order to prevent multiplication of mosquitoes it is important to dispose off all containers which may collect water.

1. Throw away stagnant water from old tires, trash cans, and flower pots.
2. Wear long pants and long sleeves.
3. Stay indoors two hours after sunrise and before sunset.
4. Use mosquito repellants (Mospel, coil, mat, sprays etc.), avoiding exposure outdoors at dawn & dusk.
5. Keep patients under mosquito netting until they are no longer contagious.

Mosquito Trap 

1. Cut a plastic bottle in half, keep both parts. 
2. Dissolve the brown sugar in hot water and let it cool down to ~70 deg F. Add the yeast which will help form Carbon dioxide and will attract mosquitoes.
3. Pour contents into the lower portion of the bottle.

5. In 2 weeks, you will be surprised by the number of mosquitoes killed.

Treatment

A section of the book overview says:

Although Jobs cooperated with this book, he asked for no control over what was written nor even the right to read it before it was published. He put nothing off limits and instead encouraged the people he knew to speak honestly even foes, former girlfriends, and colleagues he had once fired or infuriated. "I've done a lot of things I'm not proud of, such as getting my girlfriend pregnant when I was 23 and the way I handled that," he said. "But I don't have any skeletons in my closet that can't be allowed out."

The cover of the book, featuring just an image and a few words in Helvetica, looks just like an Apple product. Have a look at it yourself:

publisher, Bluewater Productions, has said it is rushing out a special edition e-book of its forthcoming comic book on Jobs.
