"The Sound of Screaming Is Constant" - Haiti Devastated by Massive Earthquake, Desperat... - 0 views

-
this will takee way to long to try to help people get from under buildings and help them live, something has to be done. -
This is a tragedy. Bodies in the street just lieing there and no equipment to get them off the street. i know that we all have our diffrences but they need help and we need to help them. -
bare hands will not get the job done. This is a horrific event and i hope things will begin to get better for them. -
I think that there should be more first aid kit sent to them because it seems like they are also dying do to the lack of supplies -
This is crazy as if the country wasnt already in enough trouble, then this happens. These people need every sort of aid they can recieve whether it be prayers or money donated or food and supplies. -
-
-
-
Yeah, we need agents. We need emergency. There is no help, no hospital, no electricity, nothing. No food, no phone, no food, no water, nothing. There are too many people dying.
-
The people of Haiti will not survive if something is not done quickly, with no water, no hospitals its impossible to survive.
-
There are many agencies and people trying to send donations, giving money, and trying to help. This poor country was not prepared for this damage and people will help. -
However other countries are hastly trying to get there and aid the people. It's not just hundreds of people that we are talking about, its over thousands. Agencies are desperately trying to get there and give out help. I really hope they make it through. God bless

We had one nurse at our hotel, so he was out front helping people who were coming in who were injured. When word got out that there was a nurse at our hotel, people just started bringing their injured family members to the hotel. I was deputized by the nurse to help in whatever way I could. So he would tell me where a broken bone was, and I had to learn on the sly how to make a splint.

HAITIAN MAN 1: Yeah, we need agents. We need emergency. There is no help, no hospital, no electricity, nothing. No food, no phone, no food, no water, nothing. There are too many people dying.

What’s really eerie is the sound of just screaming, which is constant. I can hear it right now. It’s just people either singing and praying or just really loud screams.
-
This part really striked me because there is all this screaming of people how need help, but no one has the resouces or skills to help them. -
-
I tried to imagine this scene and all I can do is flinch. It's really heartbreaking to hear that these people are screaming for help and praying for their lives.

The World Health Organization said it had sent specialists to help clear the city of corpses, and the International Red Cross was sending a plane loaded mainly with body bags. Medicine, food and water are in short supply. And Haitians are desperate for aid.
-
The injuries just kept coming all day long—head injuries, people with multiple broken legs, people catatonic who couldn’t speak. Everybody is asking for medicine. You know, we don’t have basic—we don’t have Advil.
-
It’s hard to describe. I was working on a boy who his father was there speaking in Creole, so we were trying to get a good translation, but basically what he explained was that their house collapsed, and he got out, but his son was trapped under the rubble. But he could—his son could still yell, and they spent all night trying to find him, and finally they dug him out, and they brought him to our hotel, because there was one nurse at our hotel.
-
It is important to hear from someone who was at the site him/herself. Jesse describes how horrific it is to see the victims lying there on the streets.
-
-
The situation is increasingly desperate, with no coordinated rescue plan so far and aid only trickling in.
-
This just makes me even sadder. I feel like even though different countries are trying to do something, whether it's giving aid, providing food and water, or medicine, it's still not enough. I can't imagine what the death tool will be. -
-
This is horrile that it has been 3 days now and people are still just getting help, there should be much mor ebeing done, and it makes me very sad to hear they are getting very little help in such a devastating situation. -
i think this sucks because, the people here have nothing and that they probably don't even know if they are going to sere the next day because of the conditions there. -
i dont think that thisis fair to hatians because they are a very poor country and on top of that, this occured. This was their worst earthquake in 200 years. I deffinetly want to help out -
-
-
Much of the capital city of Port-au-Prince has been leveled, leaving tens of thousands of people homeless.
-
I think it is a big problem for Haiti gov. that there have too much is homeless, and they need resources, and they want a place to live.
-
-
Planeloads of rescuers and relief supplies are said to be on the way from the European Union, from Canada, Russia and Latin American nations. Two US aircraft carriers are also expected to arrive soon.
-
-
-
its nice to hear that other countries arent just standing by with their arms folded. Its great to know that they are contributing to the Haiti people by giving them aid and support. The people there right now need as much support and aid possible.
-
-
-
but he died right there today in front of us and had to be just carried off.
-
It’s just people either singing and praying or just really loud screams. And there’s been a lot of tremors over the last two days, so when the earth shakes again, much more mildly, people start to scream again. So it’s a really eerie sound.
-
-
Yeah, we need agents. We need emergency. There is no help, no hospital, no electricity, nothing. No food, no phone, no food, no water, nothing. There are too many people dying.
-
I agreed with this because Haiti just happen earthquake, and they didn't have time to prepare the food,water,or place for the people homeless.
-
Where is everyone they need help and THEY NEED IT wether or not they there is a strong government now.
-
-
The injuries just kept coming all day long—head injuries, people with multiple broken legs, people catatonic who couldn’t speak. Everybody is asking for medicine. You know, we don’t have basic—we don’t have Advil. We didn’t have gauze. We don’t have hydrogen peroxide. Like, it was one nurse and me, who happened to be a guest at this hotel because my wife is doing HIV work in the country. I happened to be there to help this nurse, but I have no medical training, and I just had to do whatever he explained to me to do.
-
This is very sad that there is not enough medicine there to help the injured. The other thing is that Mr. Jesse Hagopian was brave enough to stay and help out the victims, its sad yet one thing remains alive humanity, meaning to say people are selfless when helping people. -
This is really sad no medidcine and one nurse that can help. I want to help badly but theres nothing one teen can do so i would do the best i can to help them
-
-
With communications largely down, it’s been very difficult to reach people on the ground in Haiti.
-
We need help. We need help, international help. We ain’t got no help.
-
I think that people should really help out in any way possible. I mean even if its just donating a few dollars.
-
They need international help. It is the only way of recovering from this disaster. We as Americans have to send as much aid as possible. -
They really need help you can see by the photos and the and the peoples cries for help.
-
People need help, any help. I think we should donate anything because they need everything, -
Help.How impotant word. They need help.From all over the world. we should try our best to help them
-
-
people who were coming in who were injured. When word got out that there was a nurse at our hotel, people just started
-
-
-
It almost certainly will reach into the tens of thousands but could possibly be 100,000 or more. Bodies lie in the streets and collapsed buildings, and the cries of people buried beneath the rubble continue to ring out.
-
-
It is really sad to hear that there are bodies just laying there and very little things done to get them on another place or relocate them. Its sad to hear that so many people died, people that had no idea what was going to happen.
-
-
The city’s infrastructure took a blow of incalculable proportions as hospitals, schools, hotels and markets have crumbled.
-
This is crazy these people have no way of contacting family who are worried on the other side of the world, and cannot even help themselves to try and feel better.
-
well i feel really sad about whats happening in Haiti,because some people dont knoe where their rest of their family at. and they really wan to know hoe their health is. And i am really worried mostly about the children.

There are not agents.

After watching the video, I was utterly speechless. It's really sad to know that another country is in desperate help of need, especially when they weren't in a good state before.Having a massive earthquake hit a city that;s already in poverty is really devastating. The situation is almost similar to that of the tsunami that happened just a few years ago. Other countries are contributing by sending over aid and people to help revive the city and help the people. Most of the buildings have collapsed and many of the few buildings had cracks. It's very interesting to hear about different people who were visiting Haiti speak about their experience during the disaster. Over thousands of people in Haiti are currently homeless and injured. A person walking by would be able to witness bodies being crushed by concrete and bodies covered by a sheet of blanket laying on the floor. The country is now short in water supply, food, money,and many important factors. People are desperate for aid and money. I think it's great that other countries aren't just standing by and not doing anything. I hope in the future, they will be able to revive most of the damaged buildings and maybe the people there will find jobs and homes again.

The Main Street Pimp I remember walking down Main Street and seeing this man. He stood out from the rest of the people I saw everyday. He would wear these interesting outfits unlike anything I had ever seen except for maybe in the movies. I found out he was known as the Main Street Pimp. When the podcaster said "Where is the Main Street Pimp?" I started to think and realized I had not seen him in a while. I wondered what had happened to him. I always enjoyed seeing him it kind of made me smile because he loved to be different from everyone else. He always looked happy. When I found out that the the Main Street Pimp had "died from a brain tumor" I was really sad. I missed seeing him walk around Main Street. He really became part of flushing and he really helped make it unique. I understand now why he did the things he did since he had schizophrenia. Although he had this condition he seemed happy and upbeat. He never seemed to care about what other people had to say about him. I would always say hello to him and he would smile. I am always happy to see people that make the best of their situation. I think although you may have issues you should not just give up or hate life. You should always live life to it's fullest. All I have left to say is rest in peace Main Street Pimp. We miss you.

What I noticed about, "Flushing Pimp" is how this man named Manuel was happy. He dressed very nice and always looked fresh. He stood out in crowded Main Street. There were people who admired him and people who ridiculed him, but no matter what, Manuel was happy. However, the Flushing Pimp has not been seen the in past year. Helen, Andrea, and Rayon try to learn more about him and search for him. They interview random people on Main Street. They told them about how unique Manuel dressed and how he stood out in the crowd. They also did not see the Flushing Pimp and wondered what ever happened to him. There were rumors that he died or went away somewhere, but Helen and her crew were determined to find out what happened. The crew went out to where Manuel used to live. They went inside the apartment building and rang the doorbell. A woman answered, however she didn't open the door fully. Her name was Caroline and she was the sister of Manuel. She talked for over an hour behind her door. When the crew asked where's Manuel, Caroline told them that he had died of cancer. Caroline said, "There were people who made fun of Manuel when he walked down the street, but he didn't care as he was just happy....He felt the need to look good." Caroline said that her brother suffered from a condition called schizophrenia. According to Google Health, "Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that makes it difficult to tell the difference between real and unreal experiences, to think logically, to have normal emotional responses, and to behave normally in social situations." Caroline's tone throughout the interviewed changed from despising her brother, to actually caring about him. She talked about how Manuel was suffering from cancer. When Manuel was in the hospital, he called Caroline to bring him home because he didn't want to feel miserable. Even though he was about to die, he lived his life to the fullest. He looked forward to what was ahead of him. It was tragic

Which airline offers the healthiest airplane food? - 0 views
-
I'm learning more about healthy food right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is what are the best food in the airplane? I was researching this question online, and this news article caught my attention because it was a survey about rating foods for eight airlines. "The survey assigned a "Health Score" based on snack and on-board food service offerings, airline cooperation, comments, ratings, cost, calories, and exercise equivalents. " The quote I chose here is basically saying that by reading over the survey, we know that which airline has the best food in the airplane.

Losing weight is a life style change if you intend to lose it just once and keep it off! Fad diets and crash diets can take off weight in a very short period of time. But keep in mind that usually you end up gaining back all the weight you lost plus a few bonus pounds. They are also very hard on your body and can lead to heath problems down the road
-
i am agree with you that it is very hard to lose weight,and if you use some dangerous ways to lose weight,it will put your health in dangerous,

Some of the salads that you find in restaurants have over 1200 calories in them.
-
i am surprise of that some of the salad have more that 1200 calories,i think you can't diet if you eat that,it will make you fat.
-
-
The average rule of thumb is that for every one pound you want to lose, you need to cut out 3500 calories.
-
This is the first time that i know if we need to cut 1 pound, that we need cut out 3500 calories.it is a hard way for that people that love to eat.

Apple cider vinegar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views
-
It is very popular, partly due to beneficial health and beauty properties.
-
This is important because this is the main reason why people drink ACV. Despite it's vile smell and digusting taste, people drink it because it's really healthy.
-
-
Due to its acidity, apple cider vinegar may be very harsh, even burning to the throat. If taken straight (as opposed to use in cooking), it can be diluted (e.g. with fruit juice, honey, or sugar) before drinking.[2] Some dilute it with warm water and add honey.
-
Bascially, you cannot drink this straight from the cup. You have to dilute it because the vinegar is really strong. If you don't dilute it with another liquid, the vinegar would burn your mouth and esophagus.

Although people usually drink it in liquid form, they can choose to take it in a pill form. But one should be cautious when taking ACV, because it can still burn the stomach.

Apple cider vinegar is also an old folk remedy said to clear ailments such as gout, poor complexion and acne, arthritis, candida, high cholesterol, warts, varicose veins, allergies, burns, and other ailments.

ACV is a cure for many things. Not only is it a great supplement to take, it can also be a facewash to clear poor complexion.

Unpasteurized or organic apple cider vinegar may have a cob web, congealed appearance. This is natural, formed during the acetification process. This substance is often called "mother of vinegar" which is actually detritus from the bacterial colony.

In the bottle, there are cob web like substance floating around.I'm not sure what this "mother nature" is. I just assume it's parts of the apple that was grinded.

Nursing ethics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views
-
The nature of nursing means that nursing ethics tends to examine the ethics of caring rather than 'curing' by exploring the relationship between the nurse and the person in care.
-
What this is saying is becoming a nurse instead of curing for the person you have to care for them.
-
-
The focus of nursing ethics is on developing a caring relationship
-
This is important because, if the nurses don't care then in my opinon i don't think that they will pick this career choice. Also if you don't have a caring relationship then, the patients won't really open up to their nurses.
-
-
This is where information about the person is only shared with others after permission of the person, unless it is felt that the information must be shared to comply with a higher duty such as preserving life. [5].
-
I think that this is interesting because, i wonder if nurses do talk about the patients business. If i were a nurses patients i wouldn't want them telling my business unless it was necessary.

Nursing ethics shares many principles with medical ethics, such as beneficence, non-maleficence and respect for autonomy
-
I wonder why some nurses sret up a list of laws for themselves? Aren't they given a set of rules or laws already?!
-
-
This is considered by its advocates to focus more on relationships than principles and therefore to reflect the caring relationship in nursing more accurately than other ethical views.
-
I think caring about the relationships more than the principles is good because, the principles don't get you to a point where you could bound with the person and in my opinion i think that being a nurse you connect with the person on a professsional and emotional level.
-
-
People are then enabled to make decisions about their own treatment.
-
I think that it's important for people to make their own decisions wether or not they want the treatment because, what if their family doesn't have enough mom to pay for it or they on't have insurance. Usually depending upon the situation like lets say if it's really bad then the person won't take the treatment if they are close to dying.
-
-
There is a balance between people having the information required to make an autonomous decision and, on the other hand, not being unnecessarily distressed by the truth.
-
I wonder why sometimes people aren't able to handle tghe trhuth when they hear bad news about their health?!
-
-
This is because nursing theory seeks a collaborative relationship with the person in care.

Patients and thie nurses need to have a caring relationship with each other. http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art43027.asp

Video game behavioral effects - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views
-
From both a social and psychological standpoint, video games have the ability to influence their players both on implicit and explicit levels.
-
-
Research on aggressive behavior as an effect of playing violent video games began in the 1980s and 1990s and still continues today.
-
This is seen a lot in our society today. Many people who are video game addicts exhibit this behavior.
-
-
some researchers claim that these violent games may cause more intense feelings of aggression than nonviolent games, and may trigger feelings of anger and hostility. Several studies that have supported such findings.
-
as one can see at the bottom of this, there is another article supporting this theory.
-

The average gamer, far from being a teen, is actually a 35-year-old man who is overweight, aggressive, introverted — and often depressed, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).[4]
-
Woah, that is actually really surprising. I thought that the average gamer was a teenager not a 35 year old man
-
-
Female video game characters are often hypersexualized and unrealistic,[8][9] and have been shown to play a factor in hard-core gamers’ perceptions of ideal beauty
-
this is really true since when I play some video games the girls are so unrealistic with huge breasts and all that. It actually makes me feel ugly all the time compared to them.
-
-
This repetition of violence and reward system create a psychological effect on people telling them that violence is okay.
-
Is that people commit murders and stuff? This it because of huge influence of the video games?
-
-
This addiction could lead to physical health problems, spending problems, and time displacement leading to missed work or school days. In one example, a 28 year old South Korean gamer died after 50 hours of StarCraft online gameplay.[12]
-
I know that video game addiction can make someone socially awkward, but can it really make someone die? Somebody should really go into that....
-
-
The rise in childhood obesity in the U.S. has raised awareness of media consumption in children.[citation needed] Not only are parents and organizations blaming the food industry for the problem, but they are turning to television and video games as a key factor. Displacement Theory supports the notion that the time that would normally be spent being active outdoors or in sports, children are now replacing with leisure and inactive time in front of the television.[citation needed] Others tend the blame the problem on parental enforcement.[citation needed]
-
In short, parents are just blaming video games for their child being overweight. Why would blame others? It's their fault in my opinion since it's the parents that give children access to video games and other things....
-
-
Anderson and Bushman explain how violent video games promote violent behavior, attitudes and beliefs.
-
have written that video games are neither good or bad alone, because it all depends on the individual and the context they are played in.[18]
-
I have to agree for the fact that it all does depend on the person. They all have different effects on someone even though sometimes they share the same effects.
-
-
The interactive nature allows for high levels of entertainment, but has not yet been shown to subtract from the educational lessons being taught. Additionally, developers are beginning to change the view of traditional video games by creating popular games that require the player to be active -Wii Fit, Dance Dance Revolution- or focus on using brain power -Brain Age 2.
-
see....a lot of people tend to think that video games is coupled with laziness and being unhealthy. However there are someone games that help become active and some that requires brain power. So video games aren't always that bad.
-
-
Many authors disagree with the notion that suggests that the media can cause violence, they think that media cannot cause violence because human can recognize what is wrong and what is right and people are not copycats
-
Well this can be true at times. It is usually built in someone that tells them what is wrong or not. However, what if it's a child who plays the violent games. They're so young that they might not know what is wrong or right...
-
-
Journalist and author, David Sheff, believes that many skills can be learned from the gaming experience, it builds practical and intellectual skills,” by playing video games children gain problem solving abilities, perseverance, pattern recognition, hypothesis testing, estimating skills, inductive skills, resources management, logistics mapping, memory, quick thinking and reasonal judgements”. [26]
-
This can be true at times. However I don't really agree with the reasonal judgements. It depends on the person really.
-
-
There are many positive effects of video games on some people as suggested by some researches; people play because they want to get away from their everyday life, break routine, to relive stress, allow them to cool off when they are stressful, could help people take out their anger through the game rather in real life because they are fun and interesting way to spend time. [25]
-
This is true, because you can get lost in the world of whatever game you are playing. You can become another character and just be someone else for a while. Also it's sort of a hea;thy way to release stress instead of surpressing it.
-
-
In research undertaken by Acta Psychologica, in a number of tasks, video game experts outperformed non-gamers. Experts were able to track objects moving at greater speeds, perform more accurately in a visual short-term memory test, switch between tasks more quickly, and make decisions about rotated objects more quickly and accurately.
-
Well this is sort of true too since I experience something like this once. I think it does help hand eye coordination at times...

Childhood obesity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

Obese children often suffer from teasing by their peers.[10][11] Some are harassed or discriminated against by their own family.
-
This is very important because children often becoming suicidal or low self esteemed due to teases made by their peers or own family.
-
-
Physical inactivity of children has also shown to be a serious cause, and children who fail to engage in regular physical activity are at greater risk of obesity.
-
It is very important for an overweight child to engage in physical activity as it can help improve their health and lose weight. The key to fighting obesity is to exercise daily and maintain a healthy eating habit.

A 2008 study has found that children who are obese have carotid arteries which have prematurely aged by as much as thirty years as well as abnormal levels of cholesterol[13].

A child's weight is highly influenced by their food choices and family meals. It plays a critical role on their diet.Hence if a parent lets their own child make their own food choices, then that wouldn't be good since kids enjoy eating junk food and fast food, which doesn't do any justice to their bodies. Instead, they should be eating healthy nutritious foods such as vegetables and fruits. It is important for the parent to be in charge of what their child consumes. I found out from another source that studies have shown that almost all childs who are overweight, are due to their parents giving them control over what they want to eat.

Breast-feeding for example may protect against obesity in later life with the duration of breast-feeding inversely associated with the risk of being overweight later on.

How does breast feeding contribute to preventing child obesity? Where are the facts to support this?

Stress can influence a child's eating habits.
-
I agree because sometimes when people are stressed, they tend to eat a lot, because eating usually makes them feel better and happier.

However, in some case, its different for other people. For example, females are very conscious about their own body appearance. They are very strict to themselves when it comes to having a nice body image. When influenced by a magazine model to look thin, they would binge and not eat; which later on leads to a serious case of anorexia.

Childhood obesity however can also lead to life-threatening conditions including diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, sleep problems, cancer, and other disorders.[6][7] Some of the other disorders would include liver disease, early puberty or menarche, eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia, skin infections, and asthma and other respiratory problems.

Yes this is very true. Child obesity can lead to any of these risky factors.

Many children fail to exercise because they are spending time doing stationary activities such as playing video games or watching TV. TV and other technology may be large factors of physically inactive children.

What Causes Sneezing | ABC article directory - 1 views
-
"Sneezing can also be triggered by a sudden exposure to a brilliant light, a somewhat full stomach, and rapid changes in the climate or temperatures. This is something that I can relate too. Do you ever sneeze right after eating a meal? where there is exposure to some bright light, I will always sneeze. Does your heart really stop when you sneeze? (literally) to sneeze. Don't tell your kids that, because it is not true. Sometimes we may feel like our heart is going to stop, but it doesn't. cough, it may feel like our heart is going to stop."

Would you change your diet for good sex? - Kare about Health - 0 views

I'm learning more about chocolate right now, and in particular what i was wondering about is chocolate a sexual food. I was reasearching online and this news article caught my attention because, it is basically saying that chocolate is a sexual food. The title of this article is Would you change your diet for good sex? "We hopefully all know this story: Chocolate (cocao) contains the compound methylxanthine which triggers the release of dopamine in our blood which can leave you woozy with pleasure! Also, a study of 163 women in The Journal of Sexual Medicine found that those who consumed at least one cube of chocolate daily reported significantly greater desire and better overall sexual function than the individuals who abstained. The reasoning: high-flavonoid chocolate consumption has been linked to improved circulation. Bring it on!" The quote here is basically saying that chocolate is a sexually food. There was a study shown that proves it. Women who eat chocolate daily have better pleasure and desire while they are having sex. I think this is interesting because, i heard this on television and i wondered if this was actually true. I wonder what other foods make you have more pleasure when having sex. I think that chocolate is tasty and this might be the reason why mostly women eating i or eat it so often.

In common use a "PC game" refers to a form of media that involves a player interacting with a personal computer connected to a high-resolution video monitor. A "console game" is played on a specialized electronic device that connects to a standard television set or composite video monitor. A "handheld" gaming device is a self contained electronic device that is portable and can be held in a user's hands. "Arcade game" generally refers to a game played on an even more specialized type of electronic device that is typically designed to play only one game and is encased in a special cabinet.

this quote referenced a different type of gamer, the casual gamer. This qupte is completely true. Most games that come out are "core" games, they require (well most of the time) a lot of effort to complete. Casual gamers usually play games to relax, not to play for the action.

"Gold chloride is known to cause Peripheral Neuropathy. Peripheral neuropathy describes damage to the peripheral nerves, the vast communications network that transmits information from the brain and spinal cord to every other part of the body. Among the many the causes of peripheral neuropathy are neurotoxins such as gold chloride, they produce common symptoms including weakness, numbness, paresthesia (abnormal sensations such as burning, tickling, pricking or tingling) and pain in the arms, hands, legs and/or feet. A large number of cases are of unknown cause." this is one of the worse case scenario for someone like me who completely rely on my grip and strength for my hands and legs and what i dont understand is how they could sell a product that did this to people without proper research and conduct to prevent this where as the goldmeso's product is supposr to be pure and help promote mental focus and fine motor skills which is great for me but im still a bit nervous on getting it because of what gold chloride did to people and goldmeso's is still made of of gold particles just more refined and more surface area so the option is still shaky to me

Young women more susceptible to swine flu: Study - 0 views

I'm learning about swine flu right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is how far does swine flu spread? I was researching this question online, and this news item caught my attention because it tells me how far does the swine flu spread and how many people die from the flu. Here is the quote I found from the news. "The study found that of the 113 women and 55 men admitted to an intensive care unit between April and August, the mean age was 32. Overall, 29 people (17 per cent) died - most within the first 14 days after becoming critically sick. Twenty-one (72 per cent) of those who died were female." The quote I chose here is basically saying that the average of people who has swine flu were 32. I think this is ridiculous because people can be die from 14 days. It makes me wonder if anyone who has the flu will all be dead in 14 days?
