Infectious diseases have been a constant threat to human health throughout history. These diseases are caused by pathogenic microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, or parasites, and they can easily spread from person to person. As students, it is important to have a comprehensive understanding of infectious diseases in order to navigate the world around us and protect ourselves and others from potential harm.This subchapter aims to provide students with a solid foundation in understanding infectious diseases. We will explore the different types of pathogens, their modes of transmission, and the factors that contribute to the spread of these diseases. Additionally, we will delve into the importance of early detection, prevention strategies, and the role of vaccinations in controlling and eradicating infectious diseases.To begin, let's explore the various types of pathogens that can cause infectious diseases. Viruses, such as the flu virus or the common cold virus, are tiny infectious agents that can only replicate inside living cells. Bacteria, on the other hand, are single-celled organisms that can multiply rapidly and cause diseases like tuberculosis or strep throat. Fungi, including molds and yeasts, can cause infections such as athlete's foot or thrush. Lastly, parasites such as malaria-causing Plasmodium or intestinal worms can also lead to infectious diseases.Understanding the modes of transmission is crucial in preventing the spread of infectious diseases. Some diseases, like the flu or COVID-19, can spread through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Others, like sexually transmitted infections, can be transmitted through sexual contact. Poor sanitation and contaminated water sources can also contribute to the spread of diseases like cholera or dysentery.Prevention strategies play a vital role in reducing the risk of infectious diseases. Simple measures such as hand hygiene, proper disposal of waste, and maintaining a clean environment can go a long way in preventing the transmission of pathogens. Vaccinations are one of the most effective ways to combat infectious diseases. They stimulate the immune system to recognize and fight specific pathogens, providing immunity against future infections.Early detection is also paramount in managing infectious diseases. Recognizing the symptoms and seeking medical attention promptly can help prevent the spread of contagious diseases. Many infectious diseases can be treated with antibiotics, antiviral drugs, or antifungal medications, but early intervention is crucial for successful treatment outcomes

Richard Betts, in his graceful and deeply movingsecond collection, continues his thoughtful and philosophical approach topoetry. This book represents aneloquent outpouring of 56 new poems that are much more personal andintrospective than his previous writings. It is a testament that invites readers to share his vision ofexperiences we all have in common: strength and weakness, joy and sorrow, desire and disdain, faith andskepticism, tenderness and tenacity and life and our own mortality.Much like his first book, Betts's poems areconstantly on the attack, and his subjects are as various as hisviewpoints. "Vision" focuses on theheartbreak of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), "Omnipotence" and "Crumble"investigate the question of suffering versus faith, "Correct?" looks at thedangers of political correctness and "Disbelief" focuses on the numerousquestions one asks following the tragic death of a loved one. Betts avoids slowing his poems down withindecipherable symbolism, opting instead for works that, with his carefullychosen words, are fast paced and powerful.

This story is about a man who had his feelings bottled up for way too long. Not able to tell his family why he did the things he did and not able to recoup the lost years away from the people who he loved. In the Mexican-American community, you never show your sadness, your pain, or weakness. As an act of pride, you always keep all your emotions to yourself like as if nothing is wrong. Showing everyone that you're not suffering and everything is fine is strength.I couldn't do that anymore; it was tearing me up from within. I felt that by writing my story, I was finally explaining and apologizing at the same time to my family for leaving so long ago and why I tend to stick to myself in the present. Writing my story has been a form of therapy for me, if you will, a way to release all those negative feelings that have been inside my head for some time now.It feels like coming up out of the water and taking a big gulp of air after being under for so long, and I can breathe again now. My life has been harder than most but easier than a lot of people. I thank God for guiding me and protecting me through my journey. But I still wouldn't change any part of what happened back then because it wouldn't have brought me here. I have no regrets.

So let's begin with a quick question. Have you ever had the experience where someone or something really made you mad? If you answered, "Yes" then you, like I, have been the victim of the "Big Lie." One of the biggest 'lies' perpetuated by and in our society is that our emotions, be they anger, anxiety, or guilt, etc., are all created by external events. Our world seems to SHOUT that you and I are NOT responsible for our emotional upsets, rather our unhappiness is the world's fault and we are merely victims. After all wasn't it the 'jerk' that just cut you off while driving that made you furious? Or, isn't it that noise that you just heard coming from that darken alley that is terrifying you? While this may all seem to make sense, the truth is that it is not the world or some person or set of circumstances that make you or me an emotional wreck. That responsibility, as well as that power, rests within us. The straightforward truth, one that serves as the core to the proposed book, is that our emotional reactions are a function, not of the events we are encountering, but instead they are the result of the way we THINK about those events. Simply put, if you think "crazy" you will act and feel crazy and it will undermine your emotional well-being. Defeating Your "Crazies" is a self-help book, reflecting extensive research, that helps the reader come to understand and embrace the fact that it is not external events nor situations that directly cause our emotional reactions but rather the way we process them. Defeating Your "Crazies" provides the reader with both the rationale and the steps to be taken in order to develop a more rational functional view of self, others and the world and as a result, develop and maintain an emotionally healthy life.

Just when you thought your cognitive dissonance was healing... Come to a journey to Liberalland, where the best intentions are justified by any means, The logical absurdity of Socialism, Progressivism, and a few other -ism's piled on, have built a city where the city government leans so far left it has to be propped up to keep from falling over. Alice remains sane, through all this, whlle retaining her naivete' (also known as gullibility) and we follow her (respectably, not stalking) through her adventures after she wished one progressive wish too many... Excerpt: "Oh dear!" cried Alice impatiently, as she sat rocking in her chair, listening to the pattering of the rain upon the roof of the veranda. "I do wish there was something to do, or somebody to do, or somewhere to go. The Gov'ment ought to provide covered playgrounds for children on wet days. It wouldn't cost much, to put a glass cover on the Park!" "A very good, idea! I'll make a note of that," said a squeaky little voice at her side...
