TREATMENT OF MOSQUITO NETS WITH PERMETHRIN(DENGUE FEVER)

Posted on 9:21 PM | By Gonks ^_^ | In , ,

after an article about dengue fever, this time I will post an article about how effective the treatment or prevention for dengue fever

Correct use of mosquito nets is essential if accommodation is not air- conditioned. For added protection of up to 3 months or longer, a safe and effective treatment which can be used on curtains and drapes as well as mosquito nets is to soak the nets in 1% solution of PERMETHRIN (or other repellent /insecticide). If resident in a malaria area, curtains can be treated in a similar manner.

The chemical is available from SHELL as a 20% emulsifiable concentrate (EC) and from ICI as 'AMBUSH' 50% EC. The application rate is 0.5g/sqm of net. Therefore a net of 6 sqm using 25% permethrin EC will require 6m x 0.5g/sqm = 3g permethrin. This is contained in 3g x 100 / 20 = 15ml of 20% EC or 3gx100 / 50 = 6ml of 50%. Experience has found that approximately 150ml of water is required as a wetting agent.

Suggested method:

1. Mix EC with water in measured quantities
2. Ruffle the net and place in a stout plastic sack
3. Pour the permethrin solution over the net in the plastic bag
4. Hold the plastic bag at the neck and work the bag to ensure the permethrin solution is applied over the entire surface of the net.
5. Take out the damp net and place it on top of the plastic bag to dry.
6. If there is residual solution in the bag, repeat 2, 4 and 5 again.

A mosquito net treated in this way is effective for up to three months.

Banning online Gambling effects

Posted on 5:12 PM | By Gonks ^_^ | In ,

There is a unique article entitled Effects of the Banning Online Gambling. This article comes from readbud. let us refer to the following article

Everyone talks about the negative impact of online gambling, but they are not talking about the negative impact of banning online gambling.

A reason for banning online casinos was to make sure that underage children were not using thee parents credit cards to gamble online, but besides the fact that most online casinos did everything possible to ensure to verify the age of the account holder before allowing any gambling to occur, but by banning it you are only stopping the law abiding casinos from taking bets and not the less reputable online casinos. They will use third party account like PayPal ore Click2pay which provide a loophole in the new law.

By banning an activity especially such a popular activity as online gambling all that can be expected to happen is for people to find ways around the law, such as the Speakeasies of the 1920's.

A Speakeasy was a nightclub that served Alcohol during prohibition and was usually hidden in the back rooms of pet stores and innocent looking book stores. Every time a speakeasy was raided the next night another one was opened, and this is what will happen with these online casinos. If the government finds one operating in the USA and gets it shut down or manages to stop the money flowing to it then another will open.

By regulating online gambling the government would know exactly who was running the casino to make sure they were running it honestly and within all the laws, and it would help make sure that the criminal element did not get rich and gain power a second time in the history of the USA because of a bad lawmaking decision. <




Another reason given for the ban of online gambling was to help protect against a rise in problem gamblers from have casino gamming in your home 24 hrs a day, but no proof has ever been found that shows that people who would normally not be inclined to go to a casino and gamble would decide to do it just because it was now in their homes.

The facts actually show a steady rate of people with gambling problems and growing at the same rate it has been growing for over 25 years.

Many experts are now saying that there are some positives to the online gambling ban, but those positives would be even better if the industry was properly legalized and not, just by putting a mostly unenforceable law in place.

But this to be a pattern the government seems to always make, it is much like the war on drugs. Last time I checked thee was still a drug problem in this country even though drugs are illegal, yet in countries like Holland where the use of soft drugs like hash and grass are legal the number people with drug problems is much lower per capita then in the USA. This is because the money that is brought in the form of taxes from these sales goes to fund the public schools where they properly educate kids on the negative effects of these drugs, so most of the people who smoke are tourists and not the locals.

Maybe one day the government will learn from its past mistakes and make things right.

Surgery Mesothelioma

Posted on 3:54 PM | By Gonks ^_^ | In ,

Mesothelioma is a disease that popular and dangerous world ini.banyak ways that can be undertaken in the treatment of mesothelioma, including: treatment, surgery, and others.why and how operations can be done? let us refer to the following article

 Surgery for mesothelioma may be done for 1 of 2 reasons: to try to cure the cancer or to relieve (palliate) pain and other symptoms caused by the tumor.

Surgery to try to cure the cancer is also known as potentially curative surgery. This type of surgery may be an option if you are in otherwise good health and the cancer has not spread too far to be removed completely. Unfortunately, even when the surgeon can remove all of the cancer that can be seen, deposits of cancer cells too small to be seen with the naked eye are often left behind. These cells grow and divide, causing the cancer to come back some time after surgery. Because of this, not all doctors agree on the exact role of surgery. In most cases it is not likely to cure you but may extend your life. Still, potentially curative surgery is being done in some major cancer centers, and a few patients who have had the surgery have had long remissions of their disease.

Palliative surgery may be an option if the tumor has already spread beyond the mesothelium and is difficult to remove completely, or if you are too ill for a more extensive operation. The goal of this surgery is to relieve or prevent symptoms, as opposed to trying to cure the cancer.
