I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Then thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out did the sparkling waves in glee;
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed-and gazed-but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
William Wordsworth

Reporter: Doctor, would you please tell me about Typhoid fever ?
Dr. Rajan: — Well, typhoid fever is a potentially fatal infectious disease
caused by bacteria called Salmonella Typhi and Salmonella
Paratyphi A and B. The disease is common in developing
countries like Nepal where sanitation is poor.
Reporter: What is an infectious disease ? Could you please tell us
how it is serious to humans ?
Dr. Rajan: Infectious diseases are caused by pathogenic
microorganisms such as bacteria, virus, parasites or fungi.
The disease can spread directly or indirectly from one
person to another. You can get infected by touching, eating,
drinking or breathing anything that contains
microorganisms.
Infectious diseases are serious to humans as they can kill
more people worldwide than any other single cause. The
socio-economic impact of infectious diseases is huge
because disease survivors may take several months to
recover and resume their work.
Reporter: — Doctor, how do we know if a person is suffering form typhoid ?
What are its symptoms ?
Dr. Rajan: During the first week of infection, the patient has high
grade fever, headache, bodyache and loss of appetite.
Constipation may be present, although diarrhoea and
vomiting may also be common in early illness. At the end
of the first week, rashes called rose spots may appear on
the upper abdomen and back. Patients may develop acough
and become delirious. By the end of the second week,
patients may become profoundly ill unless the disease is
treated by antibiotic treatment. In the third week the
patients may pass into coma and die if no treatment is given.

Too hot to handle? Expect more heat waves due to climate change,
experts warn
LONDON: The effects of climate change mean the world can expect
higher temperatures and more frequent heat waves, climate experts have
warned, with poor communities likely to be worst affected.
Heat is neglected because it is both an invisible and hard-to-document
disaster that claims lives largely behind closed doors, they said, and
because hot weather does not strike many people as a serious threat.
The warning comes as hot weather has swept the northern hemisphere.
Britain has sweltered in a prolonged heat wave, with temperatures set to
test national records, the country’s Meteorological Office said.
“We will have to get used to these kinds of summers,” said Friederike
Otto, deputy director at the Environmental Change Institute at Oxford
University.
“There is no doubt that there is a link to climate change. We need to
take heat waves seriously around the world as something that we need
to adapt to,” Otto told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
