Babies put a lot of things into their mouths
Thsts why they are babies, some day it's a way they learn and interact with their environment

Sometimes they may get an object that just is the right size to block their airway(just in front of the oesophagus)

Now what do you do?
Take the child to a hospital?
What if the hospital is minutes or even an hour away?

If the blockage is big enough, it could completely block airflow and kill the baby.

Step one: Call for help!
1. For a baby under one year: Lay the baby face down across your laps and use the heel of your hands to give a back blow, give 5 blows in the middle, these blows create a vibration that should dislodge the object

The heel of your hand is the part that is circled in the picture.
If that doesn't work,
Lay the baby face up
Look for the bone in the middle of the chest called the breastbone

Place two fingers on it and push sharply five times!

Push as though you're pushing upwards and inwards

All the while calling for help!!!
If this child is older,
Kneel behind the child and wrap your hands around the child's abdomen between the navel and ribs and pull sharply towards you upwards and inwards, (remember you are behind the child)
What not to do!
NEVER LEAVE THE CHILD ALONE!

DO NOT PUT YOUR FINGERS INTO THE MOUTH OF A CHOKING BABY IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE OBJECT!

IF YOU HAVE TRIED THE ABOVE, START GOING TO THE NEAREST HOSPITAL AND KEEP ATTEMPTING

NEVER GIVE AN OBVIOUSLY CHOKING CHILD WATER TO DRINK

Dear Nigerians, this is not Malaria or a sign of malaria

I know you had a fever, but it's not malaria

This is a cold sore caused by a variant of the herpes virus

It is usually spread through close contact. E.g kissing or sharing cosmetics or drinks
Retweet
#aprokodoctor
The second variant is the type 2, which usually affects the genitals.

It is also possible for the type 2 to cause sores on the mouth

If you have a cold sore, you'll most likely experience fever and joint aches this is what many people mistake for malaria.
#aprokodoctor
There is no cure for it
You can only manage it or speed up healing
In most cases it goes on its own
Always see a doctor.

Avoid kissing anyone who has a cold sore or sharing their drink or spoons or even cosmetics

Don't perform oral sex on anyone who has genital herpes

Being a man is not about being the one that sleeps with the most girls, but the strongest or the smartest

Its not even the one that has the most accomplishments.

In fact, it's the men who run after such things that are trying to cover up some insecurities
#InternationalMensDay
A man loves others deeply
Loves himself deeply
Has a dream that inspires him and others around him

He does not judge his life or that of any one else by a score

He does not not use money as a replacement for emotional connection

He doesn't judge his life by the things he owns
He does not see manhood as the number of women he has conquered

He does not always fight, sometimes peace is what matters

He does not take risks just because he can, he understands he is human also and can bleed

Emeka and Nike were having a good mekwe in the room
Oya Emeka have finish, but his preek cannot come out, now all the neighbors know
Is it Magun? Or can it be explained?
Retweet!
#issathread
Magun, otherwise known as Penis Captivus is an extremely rare phenomenon that makes it impossible to withdraw the penis from the vagina as long it lasts.

The vagina padlocks the penis!
But Doc, it's jaz!
Its because the woman is cheating and her vagina has been cursed!
Then how would you explain the presence of this is animals, especially dogs?
Which herbalist did they go to?

And this same phenomenon has been documented in Oyibo people that have no Magun specialist

I had some stuff to say re: @rdonoghue's thoughts on PbtA PCs "going too far". So here we go: Six thoughts.
What are stats about
Why I’m over them
What’s this alternative
Why I love it as a player
Why I love it as a GM
How you can integrate it.
(thread)
First-Wave PbtA stats ask us to define our characters. It's an interesting question, once. It's interesting because they're evocative, the choices are restricted, and the moves tie inherently into how you'll interact with the game. It's the player flagging how they want to play
All Choppers are Hard+2, but are you Hot and Hard? are you Cool and Hard? The player's decision speaks to what we can expect of that character. Go Hot, we're going to see your connections and relationships, go Cool, we're going to see some bullets. Very interesting...once

1) I have no clout and almost no friends on this site, but consistently the most liked things I post here relate to my experience going from someone that lurked 4chan and was present at the beginning of GamerGate to... well, me. Not sure how long this'll be but:

Thread
2) It was so freaking easy to get sucked into it in hindsight. 4chan is an edgy teen's paradise. You can say literally anything you want on there with no repurcussions. Everyone's on an equal level of discourse there, namely: shitflinging of the highest calibur
3) But to someone without social skills, it allowed you to participate in conversations on any subject without fear. Someone says you're dumb for liking Oblivion over Morrowind? Yelled down for misusing a meme and told to lurk? Just leave and that doesn't follow you.

Far Left Hate Watch ❌
@FarLeftHate
Why does Twitter deliberately target Right-wing accounts for Shadow-banning and why it will sooner rather than later completely back-fire and why they are ultimately going to destroy the Left and what a great day that will be. Thread. 1/15
It is no surprise Twitter targets accounts for “wrong think” or as we on the #Right like to call it “free-think” this is because of two events which are now totally and utterly inextricably linked, #Brexit and #Trump and the Establishment have been rocked to the core. 2/15
Neither of which were supposed to happen & yet they did now the Establishment is determined never to allow it to happen again or even at all, the reason for them happening was nothing to do with social media, but was to do with people knocking on doors and persuading others. 3/15

Ok, a bit early but better late than never today.
Time to start the (semi) reviews of #blackpanther
#ReadyPlayerOne #PacificRimUprising and #Bladerunner2
First off, I will always love the first #BladeRunner always.
It put a lot of things in perspective...and had callouts to culture etc, etc.
The second movie was hurt immensely by the lack of new stuff Japan did over the last 30 years.
You cant say the same for #ReadyPlayerOneMovie
As a movie with a feel and a look #ReadyPlayerOneMovie is leagues better than #BladeRunner2049. This was the big mistake of the latter movie because even if it was more coherent than the former, its look and references were lacking killing the vibe.

Depends. "Soil degradation" can mean a lot of things. Disease buildup from doing 1 crop too much, compaction, consumption of organic matter, straight-up eroding it away, etc.

These are all completely reversible, fairly quickly, if you start managing it right.
Soil quality is so amenable to human improvement that there are actually a lot of good soils out there that are completely man-made.

One example, there's patches of ancient human-made soil in the Amazon that add up to about the same size as France.

So I'm not personally too worried about "soil degradation" per se.
