 Becoming A First Aider
What is a First Aider?

First aid refers to the actions taken in response to someone who is injured or taken ill. A first aider is a person who takes this action while taking care to keep everyone involved safe and to cause no further harm while doing so. Using the guidelines set out in this blog, you should take actions that most benefit the casualty. Always take into account your own skills and experience.

One of the primary rules of first aid is to ensure that an area is safe for you before you approach a casualty. Do not attempt heroic rescues in hazardous circumstances. If you put yourself at risk, you are unlikely to be able to help others and you could become a casualty.


How to Prepare Yourself.

When responding to an emergency it is important to recognize both emotional and physical of all involved, including your own. You should look after your own physiology health and be able to identify stress if it develops.

A calm, considerate response from you that facilitates trust and respect from those around you is fundamental to you being able to give or receive information from casualty or witnesses effectively. This includes being aware of, and managing your reactions, so that you can focus on the casualty and make an easement.

Protection From Infection

When you gibe first aid, it is important to protect yourself from cross infection as well as injury. Take steps to avoid cross infection. Remember, infection is a risk even with relatively minor injuries. It is a particular concern if you are treating a wound, because blood-borne viruses, such as hepatitis B or C and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), may be transmitted by contact with blood.

To The Nile by John Keats.

 🌊To The Nile by John Keats (Theme Nature)🌊 Son of the old Moon-mountainous African! Chief of the Pyramid and Crocodile! We call thee fruitful, and that very while, A desert fills our seeing's inward span; Nurse of swart nations since the world began, Art thou so fruitful? or dost thou beguile Such men to honor thee, who, worn with toil, Rest for a space "twixt Cairo and Decan? O may the dark fancies err! They surely do: "Tis ignorance that makes a barren waste Of all beyond itself. Thou dost bedew Green rushes like our rivers, and dost taste The pleasant sunrise. Green isles hast thou too, And to the sea as happily dost haste. Note on the poet . 🌄 John Keats was born on October 31, 1795, on the northern outskirts of London. 🌄 Keats decided to become a doctor and, in 1811, when he reached the age of sixteen, he was apprenticed to a Dr. Hammond and matriculated at Guy's Hospital for six months. 🌄 Keats met the poet Leigh Hunt, who highly admired the poetry Keats h

 Motocross👊👊 What exactly is motocross? Motocross , form of  motorcycle racing  in which cyclists compete on a course marked out over open and often rough terrain. Courses vary widely but must be 1.5 to 5 km (1 to 3 miles) in length in international competition, with steep uphill and downhill grades, wet or muddy areas, and many left and right turns of varying difficulty. Motocross is probably the most physically demanding motorcycle sport, although its races are quite short—40 minutes or less for each of the two heats of a race. Riders must use the same motorcycle throughout a race, with repairs made between heats if necessary. A cotton jersey, nylon pants padded at the knee and thigh, padded boots and gloves, a helmet and goggles, a plastic chest protector, and a kidney belt for support  constitute  the usual outfit of the motocross cyclist. For international competition, under supervision of the Fédération International Motorcyclist, motorcycles are grouped in three classes accord

VEGA FIRST EVER ELECTRIC SUPER CAR IN SOUTH ASIA Vega Innovations is an electric vehicle automobile manufacture of  electric super cars, based in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Vega also designs and manufactures EV components such as high performance inverters, drivetrains and battery packs; as well as provide EV research and development services to clients worldwide.   From a purely technological perspective, there seems little chance of that. The car bears a sophisticated silhouette befitting a  boutique hypercar , and considerable innovation beneath that sheet metal. Dual electric motors power the rear wheels, producing a combined 900 horsepower with 530 pound-feet of torque. Carbon-fiber construction helps hold vehicle weight to about 3,000lbs – rather remarkable, given the density of the on-board lithium-ion battery packs. The team, comprising over 30 engineers and other personnel, is developing what Kulapala – a 13-year veteran of Intel with a PhD in electrical engineering – calls a state-o
