Speeding car drivers often swear that they just didn't see the "slower moving vehicle" coming from the left or right, during a motor accident. It may seem that they're obviously bluffing; but the fact is they really don't see the vehicle coming from the side, in spite... of broad daylight. This phenomenon on the car
drivers’ part is known as “<span style="color: red;">Motion Induced
Blindness</span>”. It is unbelievable but it is true, and it is definitely
frightening.<br />
</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The bottom line of Motion Induced Blindness is such that, <span style="color: red;">if you fix your gaze on one object long
enough while you yourself are in motion, your peripheral vision goes
blind.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="fbPhotosPhotoCaption" id="fbPhotoSnowliftCaption" tabindex="0"></span><span class="fbPhotosPhotoCaption" id="fbPhotoSnowliftCaption" tabindex="0"><span class="hasCaption"></span></span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed" id="id_5040e0ca7e2ca9417279828" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br />
Armed forces pilots are taught about motion induced
blindness during training, because it happens faster at high speeds; and
to some extent it is applicable to car drivers also, especially the
fast ones. So, i<span style="color: red;">f you drive a car, please read this carefully. </span>Once airborne, pilots are taught to alternate their gaze between
scanning the horizon and scanning their instrument panel, and never to
fix their gaze for more than a couple of seconds on any single object.
They are taught to continually keep their heads on a swivel and their
eyes always moving (otherwise, the peripheral vision goes blind temporarily; and so, motion induced blindness). For fighter
pilots, this is the only way to survive in air; not only during aerial
combat, but from peacetime hazards like mid-air collisions as well. <br />
<div class="text_exposed_show">
<br />
Still not convinced?!?!</div>
<div class="text_exposed_show">
</div>
<div class="text_exposed_show">
Let me give you a small demonstration of motion induced
blindness. This is the same demonstration that is used for trainee
pilots in classrooms before they even go near an aircraft. </div>
<div class="text_exposed_show">
</div>
<div class="text_exposed_show">
Just click on
the link below. </div>
<div class="text_exposed_show">
</div>
<div class="text_exposed_show">
You will see a revolving array of blue crosses on a
black background. There is a flashing green dot in the center and three
fixed yellow dots around it. If you fix your gaze on the green dot for
more than a few seconds, the yellow dots will disappear at random…,
either singly, or in pairs, or all three together. In reality, the
yellow dots are always there. Just watch the yellow dots for some time
to ensure that they don’t go anywhere!<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;"><a href="http://www.msf-usa.org/motion.html" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.msf-usa.org/<wbr></wbr>motion.html</a></span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So, if you are driving at a high speed on a highway and if you fix your
gaze on the road straight ahead, you will not see a car, a scooter, a
buggy, a bicycle, a buffalo or even a human being approaching from the
side. Now reverse the picture. If you are crossing a road on foot and
you see a speeding car approaching…, there’s a 90% chance that the
driver isn’t seeing you, because his/her peripheral vision may be blind!
And you may be in that blind zone!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Ever thought that sitting on a bench with your wallet
in your back pockets would do harm to your spine?!?!........Yes it
does!.....Read on,</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Most guys carry that half inch or so leather padding
in their hip pocket all the time. Obviously,
with a wallet tucked between your cheek and your chair, you’ve created an unlevelled
surface. After all, this matter of fact
is not a rocket science, but a common sense.
This is something which we are not focusing in our daily life but can
produce multiple problems in spine especially for those who have long sitting
hours. Your wallet can be real pain for
your back and the waist, and it can lead to shooting pains down the legs. Sitting on a wallet for prolonged hours every
day can <span style="color: red;">compress sciatic nerve</span> which passes beneath piriformis muscle and leads
to <span style="color: red;">piriformis syndrome.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><u><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piriformis_syndrome" target="_blank">Piriformis Syndrome</a>:</u></span><span style="font-size: large;">
A neuromuscular disorder that occurs when the sciatic nerve (the largest
and widest single nerve in the human body that begins in the lower back and
runs through the buttock and down the lower limb) is compressed or otherwise
irritated by the <span style="color: red;">piriformis muscle causing pain, tingling and numbness in the
buttocks and along the path of the sciatic nerve</span> descending down the lower
thigh and into the leg. The syndrome may
be due to anatomical variations in the muscle-nerve relationship, or from
overuse or strain. [Source: Wikipedia]</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-family: inherit; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The wallet acts
as a wedge that forces the pelvis, spine and body out of alignment. Anyone who drives more than a half hour
sitting on a wallet is a candidate for sciatica or back pain. The risk in this case is not a
life-threatening one. But you probably are increasing your chances of having a
bad back, or making a bad back even worse.
The healthiest option is to <span style="color: red;">move the wallet to your front pocket</span>. If it’s must to keep your wallet in your back
pocket, you should remove it before you sit (<span style="color: red;">Not only wallet, but don’t sit
with anything in your back pocket</span>).</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; text-decoration: none;">The "<span style="color: red;">black box</span>" is a
generic term for two recording devices carried aboard commercial airliners. The
<span style="color: red;">Flight Data Recorder</span> (FDR) records a variety of parameters related to the
operation and flight characteristics of the plane. The <span style="color: red;">Cockpit Voice Recorder</span>
(CVR) records the <b>voices of the flight crew, engine noise, and any other sounds
in the cockpit</b>. All large commercial airliners and certain varieties of smaller
commercial, corporate, and private aircraft are required by law to carry one or
both of these boxes, which generally cost between $10,000 and $15,000 apiece.
The data these devices provide is often invaluable to experts investigating the
events leading up to an accident. The recovery of the boxes is one of the
highest priorities in any mishap investigation, second only to locating
survivors or recovering the remains of victims. FDR information is also often
used to study other <span style="color: red;">aviation safety issues, engine performance, and to identify
potential maintenance issues. </span></span><span style="color: red;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; text-decoration: none;"> The design of modern black boxes is regulated by a group
called the <b>International Civil Aviation Organization </b>(ICAO). The ICAO
determines what information the black boxes must record, over what length of
time it is saved, and how survivable the boxes must be. The ICAO delegates much
of this responsibility to the European Organisation for Civil Aviation
Equipment (EUROCAE) that maintains a document called the <b>Minimum Operational
Performance Specification for Crash Protected Airborne Recorder Systems. </b></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; text-decoration: none;">These early devices used
<span style="color: red;">magnetic tape for data storage</span>, much like that used in a tape recorder. As the
tape is pulled over an electromagnetic head, sound or numerical data is
recorded on the medium. Analog black boxes using magnetic tape are still
present aboard many planes, but these recording devices are no longer
manufactured. Newer recorders instead use solid-state memory boards, called a <span style="color: red;">Crash
Survivable Memory Unit </span>(CSMU), that <b>record data in a digital format</b>. Instead of
the moving parts present in older recorders, solid-state devices use stacked
arrays of memory chips similar to a USB memory stick. The lack of moving parts
eases maintenance while reducing the chance of a critical component breaking in
a crash. Solid-state recorders can also save considerably more data than older
magnetic tape devices and are <span style="color: red;">more resistant to shock, vibration, and moisture</span>.

<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; text-decoration: none;">Whatever the medium used to record
the data, the purpose of the black boxes is to collect information from various
sensors aboard an aircraft. The Cockpit Voice Recorder, for example, saves
sounds from microphones located on the flight deck. An area microphone is
typically placed in the overhead instrument panel between the pilots, and an
additional microphone is located in the headset of each member of the flight
crew. <b>These microphones pick up conversations between the flight crew, engine
noises, audible warning alarms, landing gear sounds, clicks from moving
switches, and any other noises like pops or thuds that might occur in the
cockpit</b>. The CVR also records communications with <b>Air Traffic Control,
automated radio weather briefings, and conversations between the pilots and
ground or cabin crew</b>. These sounds often allow investigators to determine the
time of key events and system failures. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; text-decoration: none;">The Flight Data Recorder collects
data from a number of sensors to monitor information like <span style="color: red;">accelerations,
airspeed, altitude, heading, attitudes, cockpit control positions,
thermometers, engine gauges, fuel flow, control surface positions, autopilot
status, switch positions, and a variety of other parameters</span>. Most parameters

sensors is collected by the <span style="color: red;">Flight Data Acquisition Unit </span>(FDAU). This device is
typically located in an equipment bay at the front of the aircraft beneath the
flight deck. The FDAU assembles the desired information in the proper format
and passes it on to the FDR at the rear of the plane for recording. The Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) required the FDR to record between 11 and 29
parameters, depending on aircraft size, up to 2002 but now requires saving a
minimum of 88 sets of data. Analog FDRs can save a maximum of around 100
variables while digital recorders are often capable of collecting over 1,000
parameters over the course of 25 hours. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; text-decoration: none;">Power for the black boxes is provided
by <b>electrical generators connected to the engines</b>. The generators on most large
airliners produce a standard output of 115 volt, 400 hertz AC power while some
smaller planes instead generate 28 volt DC power. Black boxes are typically
designed to use only AC or DC power but not either one. Recorders built for
compatibility with the AC power supplies on larger planes cannot be used on
small DC-powered aircraft. In the event of engine failure, larger aircraft are
also equipped with emergency backup power sources like the auxiliary power
generator and ram air turbine to continue operating the black boxes. In
addition, the ICAO is considering making a battery mandatory on solid-state
recorders to provide an independent power supply in the event of a complete
power failure aboard the plane. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; text-decoration: none;">A common misconception states that
the black boxes are "<span style="color: red;">indestructible</span>." No manmade device is
indestructible, and no material has ever been developed that cannot be
destroyed under severe enough conditions. The black boxes are instead designed
to be highly survivable in a crash. In many of the worst aviation accidents,
the only devices to survive in working order are the Crash Survivable Memory
Units (CSMUs) in the black boxes. The remainder of the recorders, including the
external case and other internal components, are often heavily damaged. </span> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; text-decoration: none;">The CSMU, however, is contained
within a very compact cylindrical or rectangular box designed to safeguard the
data within against extreme conditions. The box is composed of three layers to
provide different types of protection to the recording medium. The outermost
shell is a case made of <span style="color: red;">hardened steel or titanium</span> designed to survive intense
impact and pressure damage. The second layer is an insulation box while the
third is a thermal block to protect against severe fire and heat. Together,
these three layered cases allow the FDR and CVR to survive in all but the most
extreme crash conditions. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; text-decoration: none;">Current regulations require the black
boxes to survive an impact of 3,400g's for up to 6.5 milliseconds. This rapid
deceleration is equivalent to slowing from a speed of 310 miles per hour (500
km/h) to a complete stop in a distance of just 18 inches (45 cm). This
requirement is tested by firing the CSMU from an air cannon to demonstrate the
device can withstand an impact force at least 3,400 times its own weight. The
black boxes must also survive a penetration test during which a steel pin
dropped from a height of 10 ft (3 m) impacts the CSMU at its most vulnerable
point with a force of 500 pounds (2,225 N). In addition, a static crush test is
conducted to demonstrate that all sides of the CSMU can withstand a pressure of
5,000 pounds per square inch for five minutes. The fire
resistance of the CSMU is further tested by exposing it to a temperature of
2,000F for up to an hour. The device is also required to survive
after lying in smoldering wreckage for ten hours at a temperature of 500F.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; text-decoration: none;">Other requirements specify
survivability limits when immersed in liquids. The CSMU must endure the water
pressure found at an ocean depth of 20,000 ft (6,100 m), and a deep-sea
submersion test is conducted for 24 hours. Another saltwater submersion test
lasting 30 days demonstrates both the survivability of the CSMU and the
function of an <span style="color: red;">Underwater Locator Beacon</span> (ULB), or "<span style="color: red;">pinger,</span>" that
emits an ultrasonic signal once a second when immersed in water. These signals
can be transmitted as deep 14,000 ft (4,270 m) and are detectable by sonar to
help locate the recorders. A final series of tests includes submerging the CSMU
in various fluids like jet fuel and fire extinguishing chemicals to verify the
device can withstand the corrosive effects of such liquids. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; text-decoration: none;">Upon completion of the testing, the
black boxes are disassembled and the CSMU boards are extracted. The boards are
then reassembled in a new case and attached to a readout system to verify that
the pre-recorded data written to the device can still be read and processed. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; text-decoration: none;">Another factor important to the
survivability of the black boxes is their <span style="color: red;">installation in the tail of the
aircraft</span>. The exact location often varies depending on the plane, but the FDR
and CVR are usually placed near the galley, in the aft cargo hold, or in the
tail cone. The recorders are stored in the tail since this is usually the last
part of the aircraft to impact in an accident. The entire front portion of the
plane acts like a crush zone that helps to decelerate the tail more slowly.
This effect reduces the shock experienced by the recorders and helps to cushion
the devices to improve their chances of surviving the crash. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; text-decoration: none;">Once the black boxes have been
located following an accident, they are typically taken into custody by an
aviation safety agency for analysis. In the United States, responsibility for
investigating most air accidents belongs to the <span style="color: red;">National Transportation Safety
Board</span> (NTSB). Many countries lacking the capability to analyze black boxes also
send their recorders to the computer labs of the NTSB or some of the better-equipped
investigative organizations in Western nations. Care must be taken in
recovering and transporting the recorders so that no further damage is done to
the devices that might prevent important data from being extracted. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; text-decoration: none;">Upon receipt of the recorders, the
NTSB uses a series of computer and audio equipment to process and analyze any
information that can be recovered. The data is translated into formats readily
usable by investigators and is usually critical in identifying the probable
cause(s) of the accident. This process may take many weeks or months depending
on the condition of the black boxes and the level of processing required to
make sense of the data. Outside experts are also often consulted to help
analyze and interpret the data. </span> </span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; text-decoration: none;">Flight Data Recorder information is
typically presented in the form of graphs or animations used to understand
instrument readings, flight characteristics, and the performance of the
aircraft during its final moments. Cockpit Voice Recorder information is
usually more sensitive and laws strictly regulate how it is handled. A
committee including representatives of the NTSB, FAA, the airline, the
manufacturers of the aircraft and engines, and the pilots union is responsible
for preparing a transcript of the CVR's contents. This transcript is
painstakingly created using air traffic control logs and sound spectrum
analysis software to provide exact timing. Although the transcript can be
released to the public, only select and pertinent portions of the actual audio
recording are made public due to privacy concerns. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; text-decoration: none;">Flight recorder design has improved considerably since the devices were first introduced in the 1950's. However, no recording device is perfect. Black boxes are sometimes never found or too badly damaged to recover some or all of the data from a crash. To reduce the likelihood of damage or loss, some more recent designs are self-ejecting and use the energy of impact to separate themselves from the aircraft. Loss of electrical power is also a common event in aviation accidents, such as Swissair Flight 111, when the black boxes were inoperative for the last six minutes of flight due to aircraft power failure. Several safety organizations have recommended providing the recorders with a backup battery to operate the devices for up to ten minutes if power is interrupted. </span></span></div>

When communicating over the phone; these codes are used, so that the person on the other end will be able to figure out exactly what the other person is trying to spell, regardless of their native language.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">For example, If you are to spell <b>BLOGGER</b>; normally we would say something like this</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">B</span><span style="font-size: large;"> as in Bell,</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">L</span><span style="font-size: large;"> as in Lemon</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">O </span><span style="font-size: large;">as in Orange</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">G</span><span style="font-size: large;"> as in Grape</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">E</span><span style="font-size: large;"> as in Elephant</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">R</span><span style="font-size: large;"> as in Ring </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But instead, try practicing by spelling your name or objects with Naval Codes, which will provide a point-blank understanding to the other, and at the same time it's universally understood.</span><br />

</div>
<div style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; color: black; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: red;">Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)</span> is a lifesaving
technique useful in many emergencies, including heart attack or near drowning,
in which someone's breathing or heartbeat has stopped. </span></div>
<div style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; color: black; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; color: black; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Ideally, CPR involves two elements: <span style="color: red;">chest
compression</span><span style="color: red;">s</span> combined with <span style="color: red;">mouth-to-mouth rescue
breathing</span>. (A complete description of how to do both follows
farther down in this article.) </span></div>
<div style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; color: black; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; color: black; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">However, what you as a bystander actually should do in an
emergency situation really depends on your <span style="color: red;">knowledge</span> and <span style="color: red;">comfort level</span>. </span></div>
<div style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; color: black; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; color: black; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">The bottom line is that it's far
better to do something than to do nothing at all if you're
fearful that your knowledge or abilities aren't 100 percent complete. Remember,
the difference between your doing something and doing nothing could be
<span style="color: red;">someone's life</span>. </span></div>

<u><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Untrained:</span></u><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> If you're not trained in CPR, then
provide hands-only CPR. That means <span style="color: red;">uninterrupted chest presses</span> of <span style="color: red;">about two per
second</span> until paramedics arrive (described in more detail below). You don't need
to try rescue breathing. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; color: black; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 9pt; margin-right: 6pt; text-align: justify;">
<u><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Trained, and ready to go:</span></u><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> If you're well trained, and confident
in your ability, then you can opt for one of two approaches: 1. Alternate
between 30 seconds of chest compressions and two rescue breaths, or 2. Just do
chest compressions. (Details described below.) </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; color: black; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 9pt; margin-right: 6pt; text-align: justify;">
<u><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Trained, but rusty:</span></u><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> If you've previously received CPR
training, but you're not confident in your abilities, then it's fine to do just
chest compressions. </span></div>
<div style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; color: black; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">The <span style="color: red;">above advice applies only to adults</span> needing CPR, not
to children. </span></div>

<div style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; color: black; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">CPR can keep oxygenated blood flowing to the brain and
other vital organs until more definitive medical treatment can restore a normal
heart rhythm. </span></div>
<div style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; color: black; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; color: red; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">When the heart stops, the absence of oxygenated blood can
cause irreparable brain damage in only a few minutes. Death will occur within
eight to 10 minutes. Time is critical when you're helping an unconscious person
who isn't breathing. </span></div>

</ul>
<ul style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">
<li><span style="font-size: 14pt;">If the person doesn't respond and two
people are available, one should call the local emergency number and one
should begin CPR. If you are alone and have immediate access to a telephone,
call before beginning CPR — unless you think the person has become
unresponsive because of suffocation (such as from drowning). </span></li>

you are trained in CPR, begin mouth-to-mouth breathing. If you believe the
person is unconscious from a heart attack and you haven't been trained in
emergency procedures, skip mouth-to-mouth rescue breathing and proceed directly
to chest compressions to restore circulation. </span></div>

with chest compressions — for two more minutes before administering a second
shock. Trained staff at many public places are also able to provide

<div style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; color: black; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br />
The procedure for giving CPR to a child <span style="color: red;">age 1 through 8</span> is essentially the same
as that for an adult. The differences are as follows: </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; color: black; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 9pt; margin-right: 6pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">If you're alone, perform <span style="color: red;">five cycles of
compressions</span> and breaths on the child — this should take about two minutes —
before calling your local emergency number or using an AED. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; color: black; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 9pt; margin-right: 6pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Use only <span style="color: red;">one hand to perform heart
compressions</span>. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; color: black; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 9pt; margin-right: 6pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Breathe more gently. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; color: black; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 9pt; margin-right: 6pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Use the same compression-breath rate as
is used for adults: <span style="color: red;">30 compressions followed by two breaths</span>. This is one cycle.
Following the two breaths, immediately begin the next cycle of compressions and
breaths. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; color: black; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 9pt; margin-right: 6pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">After five cycles (about two minutes)
of CPR, if there is no response and an AED is available, apply it and follow
the prompts. Use pediatric pads if available. If pediatric pads aren't
available, use adult pads. </span></div>
<div style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; color: black; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">

<div style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; color: black; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br />Most <span style="color: red;">cardiac arrests in infants</span> <span style="color: red;">occur from lack of oxygen</span>, such as from
drowning or choking. If you know the infant has an airway obstruction, perform
first aid for choking. If you don't know why the infant isn't breathing,
perform CPR. To begin, assess the situation. Stroke the baby and watch
for a response, such as movement, <span style="color: red;">but don't shake the child</span>. If there's no response, follow the ABC procedures below
and time the call for help as follows: </span></div>

method of contact during emergency situations. As cell phones are carried by
the majority of the population, all you need to do is store the number of a
contact person or persons who should be contacted during emergency under the
name 'ICE'</span></span></div>

<div style="color: black; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The Numbers we
write are made up of algorithms, (1,2,3,4,etc) called Arabic algorithms, to
distinguish them from the roman algorithms (I, II, III, IV etc).</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The Arabs
popularized these algorithms, but their origin goes back to the Phoenician
merchants that used them to count and do their commercial countability.</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">

<div style="color: black; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Have you ever
asked the question why 1 is "one", 2 is "two", 3 is
"three"....?</span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">What is the logic
that exist in the Arabic algorithms?</span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The answer is
simple!..........These are angles!</span></div>
