What is the Ebola virus disease?

          

          Ebola virus disease (EVD) or Ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF) is a disease of humans and other primates caused by an ebolavirus. Symptoms start two days to three weeks after contracting the virus, with a fever, sore throat, muscle pain and headaches. Typically, vomiting, diarrhea and rash follow, along with decreased functioning of the liver and kidneys. Around this time, affected people may begin to bleed both within the body and externally.

          The virus may be acquired upon contact with blood or bodily fluids of an infected animal.Spreading through the air has not been documented in the natural environment. Fruit bats are believed to carry and spread the virus without being affected. Once human infection occurs, the disease may spread between people, as well. Male survivors may be able to transmit the disease via semen for nearly two months. To make the diagnosis, typically other diseases with similar symptoms such as malaria, cholera and other viral hemorrhagic fevers are first excluded. To confirm the diagnosis, blood samples are tested for viral antibodies, viral RNA, or the virus itself.

          Prevention includes decreasing the spread of disease from infected animals to humans. This may be done by checking such animals for infection and killing and properly disposing of the bodies if the disease is discovered. Properly cooking meat and wearing protective clothing when handling meat may also be helpful, as are wearing protective clothing and washing hands when around a person with the disease. Samples of bodily fluids and tissues from people with the disease should be handled with special caution.

          No specific treatment for the disease is yet available.Efforts to help those who are infected are supportive and include giving either oral re hydration therapy (slightly sweet and salty water to drink) or intravenous fluids.The disease has a high risk of death, killing between 50% and 90% of those infected with the virus.EVD was first identified in Sudan(now South Sudan) and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The disease typically occurs in outbreaks in tropical regions of sub-Saharan Africa.From 1976 (when it was first identified) through 2013, the World Health Organization reported a total of 1,716 cases.The largest outbreak to date is the ongoing 2014 West Africa Ebola outbreak, which is affecting Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia and Nigeria.As of 18 August 2014, 2,473 suspected cases resulting in the deaths of 1,350 have been reported.Efforts are under way to develop a vaccine; however, none yet exists.

Using Monopoly Game for Teaching English

          Monopoly game consist of three parts. The first part is about what is the monopoly game. The second is about how to make monopoly game and how to play monopoly game is the final part. 

          The first is about what is the monopoly game. Monopoly is a board game. Players compete to acquire wealth through stylized economic activity involving the buying, renting, and trading of properties using play money, as players take turns moving around the board according to the roll of the dice.

The second is about how to make this game. First of all, create a game board with four or five squares on each side. Then, prepare word cards with families of words that emerge from the child's reading for example, night, light, tight; went, bent, sent; hat, cat, bat. Colors code each word family and each side of the game board. After that, place the words face up around the board in sets. Next, to add to the element of chance, have other game directions on the board, such as "take another turn", "go back 2 spaces", etc. Finally, prepare score sheets for each player with color-coded headings for each word family.

The final is how to play monopoly game. Firstly, role dice or use a spinner to move around the board. Wherever a player lands he reads the word, then writes it in the appropriate "word family" category on the score sheet. Extra points can be earned by dictating or writing sentences with the rhyming words.

To sum up, this is a great game to help teach word family patterns and spelling patterns. This should be used with children who write fairly comfortably, usually second grade or older.
