HONESTY
“201st Story”
Once upon a time, a king was enjoying his afternoon in his castle,
when he heard the shout of a farmer selling his apples loaded on a big cart pulled by a donkey.
The king gave five gold coins to his advisor and said: “Buy me apples from that farmer.”
The advisor kept one coin secretly to himself and gave four coins to the minister to buy apples from that farmer.
The minister as well kept one coin to himself and gave three coins to the castle’s organizer to buy apples from the farmer.
The castle’s organizer kept one coin and gave two coins to the head butler to buy apples from the farmer.
The head butler kept one coin and gave one coin to the guard to buy apples from the farmer, for the king.
The guard put the coin in his pocket, went closer to the…

WORLD MOSQUITO DAY
2022 Theme: “Harness innovation to reduce the malaria disease burden and save lives”
World Mosquito Day, observed annually on 20 August, is a commemoration of British doctor Sir Ronald Ross’s discovery in 1897 that female anopheline mosquitoes transmit malaria between humans.
Prior to the discovery of the transmitting organism, vector, there were few means for controlling the spread of the disease although the discovery of quinine in treatment had alleviated the problem of treatment. According to one survey, nearly half the world population was at significant risk from malaria in the 19th century with a 10% mortality among those infected.
Ross had already conducted experiments with Culex (possibly C. fatigans) fed on birds infected with bird malaria Protesoma relictum (now Plasmodium relictum) in 1894 and noted that they developed in mosquito gut and had surmised that the same may happen in malaria. Ross had noted the day of the discovery made in Secunderabad (printed incorrectly as 1895, but definitely 1897 based on his postings).

Sadly, hate is too easy for bullying targets to get sucked into. When people have treated you so horrifically for long enough, you lose faith in humanity. A person who is the object of bullying begins believing that all people are self-serving lowlifes who enjoy seeing other human beings suffer. They soon become the very […]

I am a breeze, rustling through the Autumn leaves.
Crisp clean air that revitalizes the land.
I am a ray of sunshine, blanketing the Earth with my warmth.
Providing the light for all life.
I am the rain, washing the dust of the day away.
Breathing new life into everything I touch.
I am a tree, standing tall above the grass.
Holding firm in my roots, creating a shelter.
I am the sand, simple enough.
Infinite grains creating a pathway to walk the beach.
I am a wave, traveling the vast sea.
Finally, ending my life gracefully against the shore.
