MoPH advice about the dengue fever

  MoPH said that new and different kinds of mosquitoes have been found in Qatar that might be able to spread the dengue fever virus and told people to be careful.

Dengue fever is a virus that people get from being bitten by a mosquito.


Its name is Aedes Aegypti, and it carries the virus.

not spread from person to person and is not contagious .

From what I've seen over the last 20 years, there aren't many mosquitoes in the city, even when it's not very hot. But there may be more of them than I think in rural places, especially where water doesn't move.

The good news is that even if an infected mosquito bites you, you won't get sick. Most likely, you'll just feel like you have the flu. A lot of people have pain behind their eyes.

However, there is a small group of affected people who get really sick. It can lead to nose, gum, or even internal bleeding, which is much worse.Babies, weak people, and people who already had this fever are at risk.

Tonight watch the meteor shower from Al Kharrara, Al Wakrah

 Astronomer Ajith Everester is predicting a dazzling display of shooting stars at Al Kharrara, Al Wakrah on December 13 and 14 .

The meteor shower, originating from the Gemini constellation, is associated with the debris trail left by its parent asteroid, 3200 Phaethon.

 The shower is expected to rise after 7pm, reach overhead at 2am, and remain visible throughout the night. 

The event promises an exceptional view of the meteor shower, with the moon in its new phase.

The Everester Observatory invites the public to this free celestial exhibition. 

Ajith Everester or Navin Anand can be reached via WhatsApp at 5548 2045 and 3088 9582 for event guidelines.

wish you were here -my dad a war survivor as a little child

 I wish you were here.  My dad ! You were  a war survivor as a little child, and it breaks my heart to think about the pain and trauma you must have endured during those dark times. You were only six, a first grader in1945, when the fightings started.

 You were forced to go underground to escape the relentless bombardments.

 It took an agonizingly long time, and  you were barely clinging to life when the fighting finally came to an end. Your body was ravaged by frost bites, leaving you in excruciating pain and despair. 

Then you were fortunate enough to have survived.

You were left with a well-masked but profound melancholy and certain phobias, such as a dread of crowds, closed spaces, and hospitals, as a result of the emotional effect that never went away.

Years of bed wetting and speech difficulties... only became  less problematic by the age of 15. That was the age when you started to smoke. A chain smoker for decades, trapped in the clutches of addiction.  To live up to 75 was a real miracle  for a chain  smoker  - as you kept whispering in the final months of your life.

Your siblings  who were  not smokers  are still alive .They are nearly 90  !

What a ridiculous irony!  The US will now label them as anti-Semitic though they are Jews themselves ! Merely due of their resistance to apartheid, colonization, and genocide! 

The Satmar Jews are these people. There are roughly 100,000 of them. As their name implies, they have Hungarian ancestry.Specifically, from Szatmarnemeti.

They seem similar to the Amish from what I've read.

1. An expat employee must have at least 10,000 qar in pay or 6,000 qar in salary plus company housing if he wants to bring his family to live in Qatar.
2.About being a sponsor for an adult child: For boys up to 25 years old, their father can be the sponsor, and he can apply for a visa for his son. For girls, there is no age limit provided they are not married.
3.People of any age can visit Qatar, but they must have health insurance while they're there.

The extraordinary life of Mamo Grum - the Gyros King of Budapest

" Thousands bid farewell to Mamo Grum at Farkasrét cemetery,Budapest remembering his vibrant spirit and unwavering dedication to Hungarian hospitality."

  Just came across this unusual article in Blikk about the extraordinary life of Mamo Grum!  It is quite uncommon to come across articles or discussions that highlight the valuable contributions made by migrants to Hungarian society. There is a palpable sense of unease and silence surrounding this topic. 

Is this the beginning of a new era?  Will they change that narrative? They sparked my curiosity.

During my investigation, I discovered that this remarkable man, who was previously an officer in the Ethiopian army, actually arrived in Hungary in 1984. Can you imagine the incredible adventures he must have experienced by that time ?

He had a challenging time adjusting to the European weather, the Hungarian language, and the different culture for a period of 2-3 years.

However, he gradually began to feel more at ease with his new life in Budapest.

 He attended Medical University and, after graduating, worked as a dentist for six years.

   In 1996, his interest shifted to the catering business.

 

  He made the decision to introduce the lively and diverse flavors of Africa to the city of Budapest.He opened the first Ethiopian restaurant in town and named it Lalibela.

 Though  he had positive   reviews on his  restaurant  .

He must  haved  realized  that  that the demand for it in Budapest isn't as huge as he thought!   So he totally tried to ride the wave of the latest trends  and  also  serving  traditional  favorites  to  those living in Budapest .

He has been serving affordable and tasty Hungarian dishes, such as stuffed cabbage rolls, at festivals.  He was present at the Hungaroring.  Later, he supplied meat to all the famous Turkish, Arab, and Greek restaurants downtown.

That is why many people in the catering business simply referred to him as "The Gyros King."

The HAARP experiment in Alaska and the lights in Europe sky

In the midst of the attention focused on the distressing events unfolding in Gaza, the University of Alaska quietly released a statement.

 It was  an  official   annoucement about  a HAARP  experiment  in Alaska  which  might  result in  northern light  effects last weekend .

"During a four-day research campaign commencing on Saturday, the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) will generate an artificial airglow in the sky, which can potentially be observed by both Alaskans and visitors.

The focus of the experiments will be on the ionosphere, which is the atmospheric region located between approximately 30 and 350 miles above the Earth's surface. "

There were purple-pink light flares in the sky over Hungary, and maybe also in other places.

Our Hungarian scientists soon determined, though, that it was unrelated to the research in Alaska. Why are they deciding it so quickly? A scientist ought to wait for results before placing significant emphasis on them, right? Many of my intelligent friends would like to think that scientists are always telling the truth. To be honest, I find it a comfortable position .
