Lecture topic FIRST AID
Lecturer Mr. Dave Griffiths Draft 2
In the daily life, we sometimes come cross accidents. What should we do? We should give others helps. That is very important to save lifes.
In the accident site, first step is to stop and think --- Am I safe. And then give others helps.
In order to protect yourself, you need to use gloves and plastic bags.
To the accident person, the first step is to see if the person feels good or not. And then give them a breath and CPR. C.P.R. means the kiss of life. Before doing C.P.R. you need to notice the patient is different in the age, gender, adult or children.
For the infant, you should press lightly using two fingers to give them a pump and the pressing rates are between 20 to 30 times.
Dial 111 to call the ambulance and police if necessary. That call is free. Usually need 35minutes to come.
If the children cut themselves. the best way is to use red bandages to cover the wound because they usual scared to die when they see they are blooding.
If you want to get more First Aid knowledge, you can take part in the course in St.Johns or Red Cross. Usually it cost 70 dollars for two days.
Notice:Different countries have different principles in First Aid. But you do not worry about it in New Zealand; you would not be held responsible if the patient died.

Week Nine Oral Blog entry six - picture Draft 2
These two pictures show two different classes.
A picture shows that pupils are studying by using computer. Nowadays children can find everything they are interested in. if they are looking for animals that that would be very vivid shown on the screen and if they want to know some one there are also lots of information not limited by what the teacher says. Children can be trained to work with others.
B picture shows that children are studying with books. I think that books also have their advantage in learning about words or math. Every one thinks by themselves. I thinks that different tools according to different lessons can be chosen by teachers.
Comparing these two pictures, we can find out that it shows two different educations. One is modern by using technical equipments, another one is traditional ways. Each one has its advantages and disadvantages. We can not say which one is batter. The best way is to join the two ways together in practising.

WEEK TEN TEXT BLOG ENTRY EIGHT summarise article: fast trains DRAFT 2
Summarise aritcle : Fast trains enter service in China as demand soars
Recently China's railways have been upgraded for the 6th time in the history of china's railways. Facing quickly increasing demand for transport and hard competition from the rising highway network and low-price air travel, the sixth time of speed upgrade of China’s railways were started, and it will supply an important and cheap network between the separated regions of China.
As part of the speed increase, a group of 125mph trains were begun to be used on 18 April, 2007. The use of them will cut the trip time significantly. For example, the journey time between Shanghai and Beijing will be shorten to nine hours compared with the original time of eleven hours. One passenger on the train from Shanghai to Suzhou said that the shorter time used in the trip made him felt he was traveling by plane.
At the same time, tracks are being upgraded and rail network is being expanded in China in order to cope with the faster speeds.
A line of 710-mile to capital of Tibet was opened last year. According to Hu Yadong, the deputy railways minister, the capacity of passenger and freight would be increased by more than 18 percent and 12 percent respectively by the speed upgrade.

Text Blog Entry Seven Diploma Trip
When I heard that we would have a trip to Cornwallis Beach, I was so excited because it is one of my favourite sites. I have been there so many times. It is the first place I went fishing and I remember it as if it happened yesterday.
On Friday, the sun was shining, this put us in a good mood in trip. Cornwallis Beach is located at the entrance of the Manukau Harbour. Passing Titirangi Village, if you go though along the narrow mountain road, and drive 20 minutes, you will reach it. There is beautiful sand beach and a long wharf which extended to the deep sea. Standing at wharf, you can see all the views of the Manukau Harbour. One side is board blue sea; other three sides are green mountains. You cann't imagine what a fantastic views it is if you haven’t go there. Meanwhile fisherman also like here so much, you can fish a lot of kind of fish, if you are lucky, you can catch kingfish which raw fillet is very delicious.
I hope we have another trip at here in next semester.

Magnetic pulses promise cure for insomniacs draft 2
Recently the researchers stated that using electronic device to induce slow waves in the patients can help them to gain the full restorative powers of an eight-hour period of sleep.
Chronic insomnia may be caused by a failure to produce slow-wave activity in the brains of patients. This disease might be cured by magnetic pulses. Sleep is formed by two types. One is slow-wave activity which happened in deep sleeping, the other is fast eye movements which happened in dreaming while sleep.
The former type composes 80% of sleeping hours is very important for sleeping of good quality. Scientists of psychiatry department of the University of Wisconsin-Madison have invented an electronic device which can produce harmless magnetic pulses. By testing this device on sleeping volunteers, magnetic pulses produced by it can stimulate the brain to generate slow waves that just like what happened in deep sleeps.
This would be a good news for people suffered from insomiacs if that device can be used in clinic in the future.
