National Geographic Photo Contest - Exciting but tough.

2010-11-06T07:07:00.000-07:00

I was surfing the internet today to make some changes in the blog. I made some but its not yet finished. Along the search, I was also checking how my facebook is doing then suddenly a message popped-out in the chat box saying , "Will you please like this link" I said what? I clicked that link and I found out that it is a picture that needs to be liked in order to get votes in a competition. That person was my friend and so i "like" her link. That competition was National Geographic "Great Migrations" Photo Contest. If you will win that competition,you will received Canon EOS 550d and I said WHAT???.It's a DSLR( Digital Single Lens Reflex). I so want a DSLR. While reading the page, I found myself joining the contest. Hurray to me, I have an opportunity. I just feel sad on how they will judge the competition.Judging will be based on number of likes and with a panel of judges. It will be bias when it comes to number of likes. I have lots of friends who I can just pull out of their caves.

EMERGENCY - Needle might help a stroke patient.

I have received an email from my uncle a long time ago that I haven't shared to anyone yet. I know this might help someone from such situation-stroke. Feel free to read and don't forget to share it to someone you know who might experience the same situation as what was stated below.

A NEEDLE CAN SAVE THE LIFE OF A STROKE PATIENT

From a Chinese Professor .

Keep a syringe or needle in your home to do this... It's amazing and an unconventional way of recovering from stroke, read it through it can help somebody one day.

This is amazing.

Please keep this very handy. Excellent tips.

Do take a minute to read this.

You'll never know, ones life may depend on you.

My father was paralysed and later died from the result of a stroke. I wish I knew about this first aid before.

When stroke strikes, the capillaries in the brain will gradually burst. (Irene Liu)

When a stroke occurs, stay calm.

No matter where the victim is, do not move him/her. Because, if moved, the capillaries will burst.

Help the victim to sit up where he/she is to prevent him/her from falling over again and then the blood letting can begin .

If you have in your home an injection syringe that would be the best.

Otherwise, a sewing needle or a straight pin will do.

1. Place the needle/pin over fire to sterilize it and then use it to prick the tip of all ......10 fingers

2. There are no specific acupuncture points, just prick about an mm from the fingernail.

3. Prick till blood comes out.

4. If blood does not start to drip, then squeeze with your fingers.

5. When all 10 digits is bleeding, wait a few minutes then the victim will regain consciousness.

6. If the victim's mouth is crooked , then pull on his ears until they are red.

7. Then prick each earlobe twice until two drops of blood comes from each earlobe

After a few minutes the victim should regain consciousness.

Wait till the victim regains his normal state without any abnormal symptoms then take him to the hospital.

Otherwise, if he was taken in the ambulance in a hurry to the hospital, the bumpy trip will cause all the capillaries in his brain to burst.

If he could save his life, barely managing to walk, then it is by the grace of his ancestors.

'I learned about letting blood to save life from Chinese traditional doctor, Ha Bu Ting, who lives in Sun Juke.

Furthermore, I had practical experience with it. Therefore, I can say this method is 100% effective.

In 1979, I was teaching in Fung Gaap College in Tai Chung.

One afternoon, I was teaching a class when another teacher came running to my classroom and said in panting,

'Ms Liu, come quick, our supervisor has had a stroke !'. I immediately went to the 3rd floor.

When I saw our supervisor, Mr. Chen Fu Tien, his colour was off, his speech was slurred , his mouth was crooked - all the symptoms of a stroke.

I immediately asked one of the practicum students to go to the pharmacy outside the school to buy a syringe, which I used to prick Mr. Chen's 10 fingers tips.

When all 10 fingers were bleeding (each with a pea-sized drop of blood), after a few minutes, Mr. Chen's face regained its colour and his eyes' spirit returned,

But his mouth was still crooked . So I pulled on his ears to fill them with blood .

When his ears became red ,

I pricked his right earlobe twice to let out two drops of blood .

When both earlobes had two drops of blood each , a miracle happened .

Within 3-5 minutes the shape of his mouth returned to normal and his speech became clear.

We let him rest for a while and have a cup of hot tea , then we helped him go down the stairs, drove him to Wei Wah Hospital . He rested one night and was released the next day to return to school to teach.. Everything worked normally.

There were no ill after effects.

On the other hand, the usual stroke victim usually suffers Irreparable bursting of the brain capillaries on the way to the hospital.

As a result, these victims never recover.' (Irene Liu)

Therefore, stroke is the second cause of death.

The lucky ones will stay alive but can remain paralysed for life.

It is such a horrible thing to happen in ones life.

If we can all remember this blood letting method and start the life saving process immediately, in a short time, the victim will be revived and regain 100% normality.

Hi there! This is something new to me. I just made this blog a while ago.Maybe this is a good start to express myself in writing. I am a novice when it comes to writing but I know I can share a lot of fun and exciting stories and experiences to all of you. I have to get out of my comfort zone to show people that behind this artistic personality is an action-geared writer and not not just an ordinary bystander who likes to surf the internet without even expressing himself this way. I am looking forward to get to know my readers and be connected with them.
