How to Stop Pain From a Burn

.

Have you ever burn yourself accidentally? Not a bad burn that requires medical attendance, but first degree burn. Did you feel the pain and you are about to burst into tears ? You don`t have any medication in the house or you just don`t know what to use. I wouldn`t know any of these home remedies if I hadn`t burned my self pretty bad last evening.
I keep in house a cream that says it is for minor burns, but I don`t know how minor should they be – because this time (it worked in the past) it didn`t work at all. So late at night I was still keeping my hand in a boll of water desperate that I couldn`t sleep. Then I remembered.
First step after a burn – put your hand, arm, leg under cold water for 10-15 minutes. Do not use ice!
Then add one of these things to the wound and keep it there for 5-15 minutes.
Honey – it used as a treatment for 3degrees burnings – so, definitely it will work for less.
Mustard – yellow simple mustard, not other combination. I didn`t know about this – I tried it last night and it worked.
Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda) – put the powder in a boll and mix with water to make a cream, not something liquid and add it to your wound.
Aloe – it works if it natural – but also if it a gel. Do not use a cream containing aloe in the first day after a burn. It may not work as the moisture keeps the heat inside the skin. (as it happened with my cream)
If the pain doesn`t go in the first round, wash your hand in cold water and add the natural bandage again.
In a about an hour of treatment like this the pain will be gone. If you fill uncomfortable with the pain you may take an Advil, Tylenol, Ibuprofen, something for pain.
Ya, but how do you sleep? You can`t sleep with honey or mustard on your hand and you can`t really wrap your wound because it will heat.
I read this on the lovely internet – and I tried in a different way and it worked wonders.
Get a bag or more of tea – any tea may work ( I used jasmine), wet it with water from the fridge, put it on your wound and wrap it with paper or gauze. Not a tissue or something too absorbent. During the night the paper will get wet and stain your sheets, so you may wanna rest that part of body on a towel. If during the night the water was absorbed, and you feel uncomfortable – just wet again the teabag.

It is very important that you don`t get an infection, so be careful what you put on your wound. If the wound looks pretty bad – larger then your palm, redness, swelling, fever it is better to see a doctor.
Hope my tips help in case of accident, but better be careful.

PVS

For those that have eyes to see, for those that can hear, for those that can read.
But, mostly - for those that can still feel...

Sometimes I wish I could die...young. But you are keeping me alive...alive in this state of agony. I am dead because I don`t see any action grabbing my attention. And all the life is going on around me in a blurish joy. You are keeping me prisoner, a prisoner with a special treatment. I have food and water, I have warmth and comfort. I`m like a puppet in your arms. You struggle to keep me alive, to make me move and smile. You turn my arms to embrace you, you keep my lips soft so I won`t become a corpse. But, I`m not awaken. My eyes are gazing in the deepest of your eyes. You want me to see you. But, all I can see is me – agonizing. I am static and all around me is alive. When you push yourself holding my body I can feel warm, I can feel how this warmth is penetrating my cells with the lie of life. But inside me everything is dead. There is no pulse in my veins, no energy to move into life. And I feel sorry for you, for all your fight. And all you can get from me is a tear, caressing my cheek seeping in my ear. And you think it is love, or melancholy for all the beauty I could get if I could be more active.

“You don`t get me!” I scream in my head.
And you don`t hear me. And you don`t understand me. And all you want is keeping me alive by all means, when all I want is to die, and find peace.
“You will be free!” but you don`t hear me.
Maybe you don`t want to be free.

Some days ago you told me you love me in a way I was always expected you to say when I was more vibrant. I never thought such beautiful words could be so painful. How can you love me so much now, so late when I am a plastic bag lying in bed forcefully closed and popped by an artificial thread? When I was laughing, singing and jumping in your arms, when I was holding you tight and looking deep into your eyes I was waiting for these words to come out of your mouth. But they never came! And I still wanted to scream to the world how much I loved you. But you never saw me and you never heard me!

Time passed by. I wonder how you could resist so many years in this lie. Fooling me all the time with the beauty of the world, with the beauty of your eyes. Why did you stay by my side? To tell me you love me when I struggle to die? To tell me to keep alive because you want my children as the ultimate sign of our love? What love?

I want to die. I want to die young! When I still have a little flesh on my bones, when I have a little color on my skin, when my hair it is still curly and natural brown, when you are still in power to find another love.
I don`t want us to grow old, I never wanted thus, I lived day by day and this is what life had come for – a lie of being alive. I am already psychologically dead, you can not bring me to that life again! So, let me die, my darling, let me die young!

Bus evolution - Straddling Bus

.

Have you ever been concern about the fact that when you get into a bus is too crowded?
You probably saw this type of picture … not this one!

Any interest in new inventions?

A fascinating public transport idea came up, of course from our friends the Chinese - giant super-buses - 6 meters wide and 4.5 meters high. The new technology seems quicker and cheaper to build than a subway or monorail system. Just a small adjustment to the road. But, what is that amazing about this idea is the fact that the bus will pass over cars.

As the video is not yet translated, please read further for details.



The bus will take two lanes of the roads and the cars will be passed by buses as by a tunnel.
The bus will be fully electrical, charging stations can be placed in stations. Traffic lights can also be controlled – the bus being prioritized to pass. A system is going to be used to avoid accidents. A laser/ radar system, as well as a voice system will be in place to announce drivers beneath the bus about the bus intentions – turn left or right. If a car wishes to turn the same way as the bus, its driver can communicate with the bus driver.

Each bus will have a capacity of 1,200 people. For cities with more than a million people sounds ok. And let`s not forget China has 120 with more than one million inhabitants.

This is not just some pipe dream project; the pilot program goes into construction by the end of this year in the Mentougou district of Beijing.

Caribana Parade

.

Who said North America doesn`t have hot exotic parades?


Where can that be - even in a more cultural delightful way -then in a country full of diversity?

The 2010 Caribana Parade took place at the Lake Shore in Toronto yesterday bringing with it huge crowds and colorful costumes.

Every summer, elaborate masquerade costumes are brought to light during the annual Scotiabank Caribbean Festival.

Based on Trinidad Carnival, Caribana Festival was created in 1967 as a heritage project for Canada's Centennial year.

The parade includes music and dance, food and costumes from Jamaica, Guyana, the Bahamas, Brazil and other cultures.


And you don`t have to be necessarily a member of the above cultures to participate in this parade...you need a costume in tone with the teams, joy and some dancing skills.
