“Nasal Tampon”

"Nasal Tampon" Made of Cured Pork Is a Great Cure for Nosebleeds Bacon gets all the internet glory , but its more old-fashioned cousin salt pork may actually be good for you—for your nosebleeds, if not your waistline. Doctors recently used strips of cured salt pork to stop a life-threatening nosebleed. One of the doctors remembered the unconventional treatment from a field manual he saw in his military days, after exhausting all medical treatments short of risky surgeries. The patient was a four-year-old girl with Glanzmann thrombasthenia , a rare blood disorder where her platelets are unable to do their normal job of blood clotting. Surgery and injection of blood coagulation proteins didn't stop her bleeding after more than a week, so the doctors turned to something untested and low tech: "Cured salted pork crafted as a nasal tampon and packed within the nasal vaults successfully stopped nasal hemorrhage promptly, effectively, and without sequelae," they wrot...

Affair Proof Your Marriage

They have discussed it, agreed on what it means and they revisit it every couple of years to make sure it still means the same thing. Does going to a friend's bachelor party count? How about having lunch with friends of the opposite sex? To prevent an affair, talk about your monogamy and what it means to each of you. You might be surprised at some of the ways you disagree. 2. Couples who manage to avoid cheating are also having lots of great sex. Not just lots of sex, but lots of really good, rewarding, connecting and fun sex. This means that you have to find new and innovative ways to stay erotic throughout your marriage. Sure, it's fun now. But when you're tired, cranky or frustrated with each other, you still have to get creative and find ways to please each other in bed. One way to keep it fresh is to have one new fa...

Notes to Dad!

Today my earthly father turns 70. My heavenly father gave us the past year to cherish and adore him. Thank you Lord! The following are little notes I have been scribbling in the past weeks as I reflect on my dad. You are the model on how a man, husband, father and dad should exist in this world. A good provider, respectful spouse, loving and devoted dad. Happy 70th Birthday Daddy! To Dad: You taught me that it is OK to be quiet because my actions will show who I really am. You are not a talker, you are a doer, and your creativity, innovation and pure genius still amazes me. Happy 70th birthday Missa P. I remember how you would always take back a gold jewel for me when you went on your overseas trips. I would always lose my trinkets because I refuse to take them off on our weekly trips to the beach. When I lost them and would start crying endlessly, you would not blame or spank me but you would promise that next time I would get another. You were always on time. During m...

The Exodus from Jamaica

Some 260 Jews sent to refugee camp in Jamaica during World War II spent three years in paradise while their relatives were murdered in concentration camps. One mystery remains: Are any of them still alive? David Regev Published: 09.11.11, 10:57 / Israel Jewish Scene SOURCE: http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4113958,00.html Shahar Bar couldn’t believe his eyes. On a dusty carton bag, between the shelves loaded with material on the activities of the Joint during the Holocaust, he saw one word: "Jamaica." Unsurprisingly, his first thought was that the file ended there by mistake. "Jamaica reminds me of Bob Marley," he says. "What does the Holocaust have to do with Jamaica?" But a peek into the file revealed a treasure: The unknown rescue story of 260 Jews who were rescued from bleeding Europe in 1942, in the middle of World War II, and sent to a camp in Jamaica. They spent three years there, dealing with the trop...

My Old Letters Copy 1- How dancehall nurtures violence

LETTER OF THE DAY - How dancehall nurtures violence published: Friday | February 2, 2007 The Jamaica Gleaner The Editor, Sir: My brother told me a story about a young boy, about 11 years old, who was walking along the street in a quiet community in rural Jamaica . The young boy was 'DJing' at the top of his voice a dancehall song about unloading his glock into someone else. He knew every word and accompanied the lyrics with the 'cocking' and 'shoot' action using his fingers. He may not know how to read but he could sing - the music is his education. The dancehall artistes and some in the media would like to play down the influence that their music and behaviour have on the impressionable minds of young Jamaicans , but in reality, they are hurting our people and our country when they normalise violence in this way. Jamaican dancehall music could be viewed as one of an organised set of values that influences behaviour, that is common to ...
