Alex Bardeh--Safety Tips To Surving A Bomb Blast

The Chief of Defense Staff, CDS, Alex Bardeh, on Thursday visited the scene of the Jos explosion as well as victims’ still receiving treatment at hospitals. He also provided safety tips to be followed when such explosions occur.
“For those who are on the scene, they should lay low on the ground, because bombs have shrapnel nails in them, and they fly upward.”
At the Jos University Teaching Hospital, JUTH, Mr. Bardeh, while addressing journalists, called for the enforcement of the ban on street trading in the state to avoid high casualties when such incidents occur.
The Plateau State government had on Wednesday blamed street trading near the Terminus Market for the high casualty; saying most of the victims were street traders. Mr. Bardeh, an Air Chief Marshall, advised that people should stay calm whenever a bomb explodes and desist from rushing to scene of blast.
“Whenever there is a bomb explosion, people should stay away,” he said.
“For those who are on the scene, they should lay low on the ground, because bombs have shrapnel nails in them, and they fly upward.”
He added that “when you lay down on the floor for at least 30 minutes, it’s enough sacrifice for you to stay alive.”

Depression is a state of low mood and aversion to activity that can affect a person's thoughts, behavior, feelings and sense of well-being. Depressed people can feel sad, anxious, empty, hopeless, worried, helpless, worthless, guilty, irritable, hurt, or restless.

How To Treat A womanly Infection With A Clove Of Garlic

 Garlic kills yeast. Those who bake bread know not to add garlic while the dough is rising or it will kill the yeast. Instead, garlic is added to the dough after it has risen, just before baking it in the oven.

A fresh garlic clove can easily cure a yeast infection. The trick is to catch the infection early. A woman who suffers from frequent yeast infections knows the feeling well. The first day, she feels just a tickle of itchiness that comes and goes. The next day, or sometimes two or three days later, the womanly discharge starts to look white and lumpy like tiny bits of cottage cheese. By this time, she has a full-blown yeast infection and the lips of the womanliness are often red and sore.

If a woman can pay attention to the first tickling of the yeast infection, she can use the following treatment. Take a clove of fresh garlic and peel off the natural white paper shell that covers it, leaving

Habits That Cause Back Pain


It is not always necessity to think about different illnesses and conditions when you have a back pain. Even healthiest individuals can experience this discomforts in everyday life. Read the article and you may be a bit surprised about some causes of your back pain.

Sleeping on an old mattress

A good mattress lasts eight to ten years. If you have not replaced yours for more than 10 years chances are that your spine is not getting the support it needs. Replace your old one with mattress that is not too hard and even not too soft. The curves of your back won’t sink in and won’t offer enough support.

Carrying a huge bag

If you are someone who likes to carry around your home, your back won’t be grateful. Carrying a heavy bag on a side of your shoulder causes your body to become imbalanced, getting your spine out of balance too. Switch to a lighter bag. Your purse with everything in it should weigh no more than ten percent of your body weight.

Wearing stilettos or flats

Heels which are too high for you force you to arch your back, putting stress on your joints. Flats can be bad for you as well, depending on your foot type. Sandals without a supportive back do damage, causing your feet to move from side to side and distributing your body weight unevenly. Everyone has an ideal heel height. Find yours.

Holding a grudge

Researchers at one university found that people who practice forgiveness experience fewer feelings of resentment, depression, anger and fewer aches and pains. Your emotions, muscle tension and thoughts can directly influence the strength of your pain signals. Not only are grudges bad for you physically, they do not do much for you emotionally either.

Sitting all day

Bad news for all of you with a desk job! It is bad for your health. Sitting around all day may feel nice, but most of you do not maintain proper posture while sitting in front of a computer all day, causing weakness of back muscles because of inactivity. Sitting also puts 50 percent more pressure on your spine than standing does. If your office does not get you a standing desk to help keep your core and back muscles engaged all the time, lean back throughout your day so you are sitting at a 130 degree angle to reduce compression of the discs in the spine. Finally, be sure your head is straight, not straining forward, when using the comp.

Stressing out

If you are stressed out, your whole body is also stressed including the muscles in your neck and back that contract and clench up. And if you keep stressing, those tight muscles do not get a chance to relax, causing pain. There are a lot of proven ways to lower your stress levels including exercise, meditation and a warm bath.

Skipping workouts

Exercise builds muscle tone that is vital for supporting your back. When you do not get enough of it, you experience stiffness, weakened muscles and your spinal discs become degenerated. Workouts that strengthen the back and abdomen are your best choice.

Eating too much junk food

Not surprisingly, an intake of high calorie and low nutrient food leads to weight gain. That weight gain can put a load on your back. Excess weight around the midsection causes the pelvis to pull forward, creating stress for the back. Overweight individuals are at an increased risk of osteoarthritis. Dropping even 5 to 10 percent of your body weight can improve your back condition.

Woman whose face was filled with 'cement' by fake plastic surgeon gets help

Rajee Narinesingh, 46, was born a man. He decided he wanted a different life and identity and turned himself to a woman. He didn't like what he looked like as a woman and decided to have plastic surgery done. She didn't have enough money to go to 'dem Beverly Hills 90210 doctors and decided to do what she could afford. The black market plastic surgeon she paid to do the surgery injected 'cement' like filler into her cheeks, lips, breasts and buttocks leaving her face looking deformed. Lol. God forgive me for laughing but it's too funny.

The fake doctor who carried out the operation, Oneal Ron Morris, 32, was jailed for a year in January 2014, nine years after she carried out the surgery, after admitting one count of practicing healthcare without a licence.

» Woman Left Brain-damaged After Bosom Implant Surgery «

A young woman named Linda Perez who fell into a coma last year after a devastating bosom augmentation surgery in a hospital in Florida has been allowed to go back home after spending half a year in hospital. Now, she is unable to move on her own, can only say a few words and looks like a skeleton. Doctors think she may never recover from the brain damage she incurred from the surgery.

Linda,19, reportedly suffered brain damage in the hour after the bosom augmentation finished but now the doctor who performed the surgery, Dr Jacob Freiman, is filing to have access to her earlier medical records because he feels she hid key facts from him - like a complication from anesthesia [given by Dr. Mario Diaz] that she was given during the birth of her son - If she had told him about that incident, he would have approached the procedure differently. Doctor Freiman is said to have a clean record and is a board certified plastic surgeon, according to the Florida Department of Health.

Following recent pictures which hit the web yesterday, Linda Perez was seen carried by her father Fernando Izquierdo because she can barely move her limbs after complications during her August 2013 bosom augmentation surgery.

According to UK’s DailyMail, the teen now has to be under constant supervision as she has dropped to a skeletal weight and Doctors fear that the now-19-year-old may never recover. Her mother is however, holding out for a recovery, citing the fact that her being off of her feeding tube is a good sign. "I still have hope because she is alive and she's home," Mariela Diaz told The Miami Herald.


Linda’s bosom augmentation surgery took place at The Coral Gables Cosmetic Center on August 2013 and she reportedly paid ONLY $2,800, which is believed to be about half of the normal price of the procedure. Her family were told that her heart stopped during the operation and she was 'effectively' dead when she was transported to hospital. She suffered brain and heart damage during the procedure.

Perez was admitted to Mercy Hospital following her procedure and her family's attorney, Mark Eiglarsh, says that finding out what went wrong will require litigation.

While Dr Freiman has a clean history with the medical board, it later emerged that the anaesthetist Dr. Mario Alberto Diaz had previously served time for illegally selling pain pills over the internet. Dr Diaz served time in federal prison in 2006 for illegally dispensing at least 53,000 doses of pain pills over the Internet. He also had his Florida medical license suspended for six months

"They put a spinal aesthetic, and she needed to be intubated," Dr Freiman said in a report filed by the medical center to gain access to her [Linda] earlier records. He says that the information was purposefully kept from him in order to keep him from calling off the plastic surgery.

While she may be remaining upbeat, Linda’s mother admitted that she has not come to terms with her inability to move on her own and says, "She goes into depression and cry, she sees that she cannot walk, and when she realizes what happened to her, she weeps."
