First Aid

It was a stifling hot day and a man fainted in the middle of a busy intersection. Traffic quickly piled up in all directions, and a woman rushed to help him.

Let's get to the important part first - if you've just lost your data, skip past this introduction and go directly to our first tip, so you can start your rescue operation. If not, a few minutes spent now might help you a lot in the future. Pay special attention to our third tip.I always thought of myself as a reliable guy with reliable data. I never deleted my files accidentally, I made regular backups and had a power supply for my computer to protect me against surges and outages. However last year I experienced two cases of data loss where I needed to use recovery software. The first was a dead hard drive that'd hardly served a year. Subsequently, I accidentally deleted a large project file that was too big for the Recycle Bin. Happily I've got all my data back, thanks to good advice and a little preparation.These handy tips will help you stay confident in the face of data loss, no matter how it occurs.Tip #1: Use your system as little as possible until you recover all of your l

© Helio Rocha BootsNAll’s Robert Lewis suggests that honey may have a place in the backpacker’s toolkit, alongside Duct tape: The ancient Greeks and Egyptians used honey to treat wounds. Honey contains some antibacterial properties from the hydrogen peroxide that comes from it. This means you can apply honey as an antiseptic/antibacterial “cream” for wounds, grazes, cuts. The more raw and natural the honey is, the better. Generally, local honey is less processed; raw honey more available. An additional benefit is that the layer of honey over the wound creates a barrier that helps prevent infection. When journeying, you are more exposed to infection risks — dirty water, germs your body is not accustomed to. Makes sense to me. Although unless you’re applying it to your arm or some other non-clothed area, you’re in for one hell of a sticky mess. He goes on: Active Manuka Honey from New Zealand has been proven to have extra antibacterial proper

We stumbled across the aptly named “Liftits” product by UCS in Lyon’s recent trade fair, Lyon Mode City. Among a number of great “first aid” products, UCS have developed a see through adhesive patch which once applied promises to “re-perkify” your breasts. Their video does show a noticeable lift of the breasts, particularly useful for those outfits where a bra will just not do. (Watching it on fast speed is most fun!) It is also claimed that the patches are suitable for swimming, which is always good to know, and will make my skinnydipping more…ahhh, palatable. However, as today’s earlier blog highlights boob sagginess caused by jogging, I would suggest the Liftitis are not a jogging solution.

I am about the clumsiest person you can find. When I was young, I scrapped my knees countless times, fallen off the mango tree in my house, trip on sidewalks, etc. So much so that mum had to keep an updated first aid kit in the medicine cabinet for my clumsy antics.Now that I'm much older, it still doesn't stop. I've lost count of the number of times I twisted my ankle (just by walking! I know blame it on my weak ankle :p). And my first aid kit's so outdated (most of the "potions and lotions", as I like to call it, have gone past their expiry date!), it really is time I get a new one, and keep it well-stocked (that's very important), when any of the supplies have depleted.Shopping.com has quite a good selection of first aid kits, and individual supplies (xeroform petrolatum gauze dressing, how cool is that? :p). A plus point about the site is that it allows you to make comparison of prices of the same product, sold at different stores. The same product can cost from $3 to $39! I w
