SELF-ADMINISTERED CPR

AVOID DIFFICULTIES FROM A LONELY HEART ATTACK


A cardiologist says it's the truth...For your info. Read This...It could save your life!

Let's say it's 6:15 p.m. and you're driving home (alone of course), after an unusually hard day on the job. You're really tired, upset and frustrated.

Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to radiate out into your arm and up into your jaw. You! are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home.

Unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far.

What can you do? You've been trained in CPR but the guy that taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself.


HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE

Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, this article seemed to be in order. Without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.

However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously.

A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest.

A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again.

Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm.

In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital.

Tell as many other people as possible about this, it could save their lives !

Only true friends...


Many people, Will walk in and out of your life.

Only true friends, Will leave footprints In your heart.

To handle yourself, Use your head. To handle others, Use your heart.

If someone betrays you once, It is their fault. If someone betrays you twice, It is your fault.

Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.

Beautiful young people, Are accidents of nature. Beautiful old people, Are works of art.

Learn from the mistakes of others. You can live long enough, To make them all yourself.

Friends, You and Me. You brought another friend, And then we were 3.

We started our group, our circle of friends. And, like that circle, There is no beginning. Or end.

Yesterday is history. Today is a gift. Tomorrow is mystery.

A man in an office found a magic lamp


A man in an office found a magic lamp.
He took it to his boss, who was meeting with his finacial advisor. The man showed it to his boss and handed it over.
"Bit grubby" his boss said, rubbing it vigorously. Out popped a genie!
"I will grant each one of you in this room 1 wish!" Boomed out the genie!
Immediately piping up the financial advisor said, " I wish I was on a far away beach lying in the sun and drinking cocktails."
"Done!" said the genie, and the financial advisor disappeared.
Next the man who had found the lamp shouted out, " I wish I was in the Alps snowboarding and surrounded by beautiful women."
"Done" said the genie, and he disappeared.
"So what do you want?"
The boss looked thoughful for a moment and then said, "I want those two back here by lunch-time!"
Moral of the story- Always let your boss have the first say!

Protection in Times of Trouble ( PSALM 121 )

I look to the mountain;

where will my help come from?

My help will come from the LORD,

who made heaven and earth.

He will not let you fall;

your protection is always awake.

The protection of Israel

never dozes or sleeps.

The LORD will guard you;

he is by your side to protect you.

The sun will not hurt you during the day,

nor the moon during the night.

The LORD will protect you from all danger;

he will keep you safe.

He will protect you as you come and go

now and forever.

EVERYTHING CHANGES, NOTHING EVER STAYS THE SAME


This isn’t “breaking” news. We all know that nothing stays the same. We all know that life is constantly changing. However, I think that we all under-estimate this fact in many ways. What I mean is, when things are going great in our lives, we don’t think about the times that they weren’t so great. And, when things are going badly and we are feeling sad, it is sometimes hard to remember that we were ever happy. In both these cases, it is important for us to not only remember, but to also reflect.

I think this is important because, if we take some time to reflect on the bad days, on days that are going well for us, we can get a better perspective on our lives. Seeing a bad day from the perspective of a good day, allows us to become “aware” of the notion that time heals. Something, that on our bad days, we may not be able to fully appreciate.

On our bad days, the notion that “time heals”, may seem like a small consolation. That brings me to the reason that on a bad day, taking some time to reflect on the happier times, can be helpful in not allowing ourselves to spiral into those hopeless feelings.

Our perceptions of the changes in our lives, both good and bad, are what will determine our reactions to those changes. So, if we can react with the “awareness” that nothing stays the same, and that nothing is meant to stay the same, then we are creating a more comfortable reality for ourselves.

So, what I am trying to say is. Don’t take your highs, so high, that when something brings you down, you crash. And, don’t let your lows, bring you so low, that when something comes around that could pick you up, you are so deep in despair that you can’t even realize it. This may seem easier said than done. But, as with everything else, the more you practice it, the easier it becomes.

Humans and Beans

A teacher asked her class for sentences using the word “beans”..
“My father grows beans,” said one student.
“My father cooks beans,” said another.
Then little Johnny spoke up: “We are all human beans.”

There's Sunshine in a Smile

Life is a mixture of sunshine and rain,
Laughter and pleasure, teardrops and pain,
All days can't be bright, but it's certainly true,
There was never a cloud, the sun didn't shine through.....
So just keep on smiling whatever betide you,
Secure in the knowledge God is always beside you,
And you'll find when you smile your day will be brighter
And all of your burdens will seem so much lighter.....
For each time you smile you will find it is true
Somebody, somewhere will smile back at you,
And nothing on earth can make life more worthwhile
Than the sunshine and warmth of a beautiful smile.

Do you feel depressed? discouraged?

Do you feel depressed? discouraged? Do you feel cheated by life or circumstances? Do you feel the Monday blues? Part of your paradigm may be a matter of perspective. Think of those who are in more difficult circumstances than your own- then try to reach out and be of assistance. Your perspective may change.

Anything I Can Do?


What makes me Love you, you just walked away

And let me down for a younger woman is what you found.

Why her and not me ? after so many years

Let's see now thirty three----don't leave me !

I guess I'll keep on loving you

Now that you say it's over ,what else can I do ?

Is this the end ? sadness never seemed so sad

My head keeps on reeling and am tired of the way I'm feeling

And what my heart can't disguise---guess I'll keep on loving you

There is something you should know

I Love You baby--Anything I can do-----Call on me----

And help me see it through

Help Me Please---You know I need you

What may happen on October 17th 2008 ?



Wooh... what an exciting news!!!

Today, when i was working I received a mail from my colleague saying:

"Coming October 17, 2008 the sun will rise continuously for 36 hrs (1.5 days). During this time the American countries will be dark for 1.5 days.

It will convert 3 days into 2 big days. It will happen once in 2400 yrs.

We're very lucky to see this. Forward it to all friends."

What the hell are you talking about?? Is it possible?? How?? (this was my first reaction to the mail)

I did not believe the mail. I googled and shocked to find that everyone here is talking about this news. But, I noticed one thing everywhere the text of the topic is same. I suspected whether it is a true information or someone's imagination.

Its difficult, still i believe that above mail is true but,

If i conclude it scientifically then days and nights are due to the rotation of earth on its own axis. The speed at which earth is rotating is constant due to which our ancestors concluded 24 hours a day, 7days a week, 30days a month and 365days a year. The whole human life is dependent only on this standard calculation of earth's speed of rotation and revolution.

Now, this can only happen if the earth stops rotating on its own axis at a point where asian countries are facing towards sun. Is it possible?? Can anyone give me one logical reason why earth will stop rotating?? Please dont say "CONSEQUENCE OF GLOBAL WARMING" as these days if rain falls more than it should be, summers become warmer then it must be, winters become colder then usually it does, people simply says "CONSEQUENCE OF GLOBAL WARMING". sounds funny...

I guess no.. No one has any logic behind it.. so how can we guys believe that this will happen on october 17, 2008.

You know, if may be it will happen then this can lead to the end of human existance which i guess in the near future is not possible.

Above all the world's leading aeronautics organisation NASA has no information regarding this big news. WOW NASA, you are so busy in keeping an eye on universe that you forgot whats happening on earth. hehehe....

Well guys, i feel that we should wait n watch what will happen on october 17, 2008. If the information will be true then we must honor the person who has spread this information by giving him/her a good position at NASA. If it is not then start searching for that person.....


Bye..see you guys on October 17th....
