Entertainer Is Injured When She Trips and Falls Over A Pallet Left In A Passageway
A singer/ dancer/ performer aboard a cruise ship is injured aboard the vessel when some wooden pallets were left in a ? crew member only ? passageway outside a theater. She was walking in a poorly lit backstage passageway to a small space the entertainers were given to change their wardrobes. She trips and falls over the pallets, sustaining a serious back injury. The pallets has been left behind after the ships stores were stocked the morning before.
The Vessel Is Unseaworthy
There is no question the cruise line vessel owes the entertainer a warranty of seaworthiness. Here, the entertainer?s injuries were caused by the wooden pallets which became part of the ship when they were placed in the passageway. The fact that the wooden pallets were placed in the passageway, and left there without warning signs or rope created an unseaworthy condition in the passageway on the ship.
The wooden pallets should have been properly stowed or taken off the ship. The placement of the unstable and dangerous wooden pallets in the dark passageway made the vessel not reasonably fit for it?s purpose. Finally, the unseaworthy condition proximately caused her injuries.

The includes unseaworthiness ? which this case study concerns ? and Jones Act negligence and maintenance and cure.
You Have To Ready To Fight For The Compensation You Are Entitled To Under The Jones Act
Fact is, if you get seriously injured while working on a cruise ship, you will find out that you are no longer of any use to the vessel. In many instances, you will find it challenging to get the compensation you are entitled to from the cruise line. Instead, you may have to fight to get the compensation you are entitled to under the law.

It's mainly due to a 39.2 percent fall in FDI flows to the US, compared to a three percent decline in China, said Zhan Xiaoning, director of UNCTAD Division on Investment and Enterprise, reported Xinhua.
However, early indications show that FDI flows to the US might be stronger in the second half of 2012, he said.
Zhan said China had claimed the world's top destination for FDI in 2003.
In the first six months of the year, China attracted $59.1 billion in FDI while the US attracted $57.4 billion, according to the latest Global Investment Trends Monitor.
As a result of the performance of the US and a decline of $23 billion in flows to BRIC countries, the global FDI stood at $668 billion, dropping by eight percent over the same period of 2011, said the report.
UNCTAD projects the FDI flows will, at best, level-off in 2012 at slightly below $1.6 trillion, according to the report.
Zhan said the slow and bumpy recovery of the global economy, weak global demand and elevated risks related to regulatory policy changes continue to reinforce the wait-and-see attitude of many transnational companies toward investment abroad.

CLEVELAND, Ohio (October 24, 2012)Hypnosis can help cut hot flashes by as much as 74%, shows a study supported by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. This is the first controlled, randomized study of the technique to manage hot flashes, which affect as much as 80% of women who go through menopause. The study was published online this month in Menopause, the journal of the North American Menopause Society.
Controlled, randomized studies may pit an active drug against an inactive placebo pill. But it's hard to find a placebo for mind-body techniques. The researchers at the Mind-Body Medicine Research Laboratory at Baylor University, Waco, TX; the school of Nursing at Indiana University in Indianapolis, IN; and the College of Education at the University of Texas, Austin, met that challenge by randomly assigning the postmenopausal women volunteers to hypnotherapy or "structured attention," which is used as a control intervention with minimal effect.
The women who underwent hypnosis had five weekly sessions in which they received suggestions for mental images of coolness, a safe place, or relaxation, whatever their preference. They also got an audio recording of a hypnotic induction and were asked to practice it daily. The control group had five sessions in which a clinician provided discussion of their symptoms, attentive listening, interpersonal exchange, monitoring, measurement, and encouragement and avoided negative suggestions. The controls also got a recording that they were asked to listen to daily, but this one had information about hot flashes.
All the women kept diaries that tracked hot flash frequency and severity, and they also had hot flash frequency measured objectively by a skin conductance monitor. After 12 weeks, the women who underwent hypnosis reported 75% fewer hot flashes, compared with 13% fewer among the controls, and an 80% reduction in hot flash scores (a combination of frequency and severity), compared with 15% in controls. Skin conductance showed a 57% reduction in hot flashes for the women who underwent hypnosis, compared with 10% in the controls. The hypnosis participants also reported significantly less interference with their lives from hot flashes and better sleep than controls. Moreover, their level of satisfaction with the treatment was high.
How hypnosis eases hot flashes isn't clear. The authors of the study speculated that it may be because hypnosis may improve the function of the parasympathetic nervous system. This system is popularly called the "rest and digest" system, which puts the brakes on the sympathetic or "fight or flight" nervous system that controls body functions that ramp up during hot flashes, such as sweating and heart rate.

Mobile marketing firm () said today that its partner in Mexico has been chosen by telecom operator Telmex to create a marketing campaign for cell phone and tablet users. ??
Telmex is owned by Fortune 500 company America Movil, the largest telecommunications company in Mexico.?
The company owns around 90 per cent of the telephone lines in Mexico City and currently has revenue in of more than US$12 billion annually. ?It also provides communication services throughout Latin and South America. ?
The marketing campaign will use Snipp technology to create a contest for users to enter with their cell phones. ?
Snipp's ?Mobilize Me? platform supports several input mechanisms for mobilizing marketing campaigns for companies, including text message, QR codes, tags and Snapp tags.
Already, the business, which was established in 2007, has provided its services to several Fortune 500 companies and other major brands, advertising agencies and publishers, including Wal-Mart (), ESPN, Time Inc, Ford (), Nike (), Wendy's (NASDAQ:WEN) and Campbell Soup ().?
Back in May, Snipp inked a deal to license its Mobilize Me platform to digital marketing agency Virket S.A., providing mobile marketing services in the Mexican market together on an exclusive basis.?
The contest for Telmex will be an "augmented reality video game experience", Snipp said, complemented with Telmex branded and messaging.?
Users will be able to enter the contest through their cell phone by simply following instructions provided at all Telmex retail outlets and phone kiosks across Mexico City.?
The campaign is expected to launch in early December to tie into Christmas promotions offered by Telmex.
?We are very excited to launch our newest technology, an augmented reality solution, with Telmex," said Snipp CEO, Atul Sabharwal.
"This solution provides brands with a groundbreaking new technology that can engage customers by the one item they have with them at all times ? their cell phones or tablets.?
"Marketing in Mexico is focusing more and more on mobile solutions, as is the rest of the world, and expect to capture significant market share as evidenced by our ability to win business from a big established player like Telmex. ?
Indeed, the partnership with VirKet has proved lucrative for Snipp, as earlier this month, they announced a deal with Mexican yellow pages publisher, ?Secci?n Amarilla, to develop mobile solutions exclusively for Secci?n Amarilla clients.
CEO of VirKet, Pedro Quinza?os Cancino, added: "This [Telmex] campaign puts us on the cutting edge of mobile marketing technology in Mexico with Snipp.?
"We continue to effectively merge offline and online marketing solutions together across a range of industries in Mexico and see our business and interest in mobile solutions growing at a fast pace.??
The two companies are also aiming to provide their mobile solutions to Sanborns, the retail arm that oversees 180 Sanborns Stores, 90 Stores, 60 Mixup Stores, 30 iShop Stores and 3 Fifth Avenue Stores in Mexico.?
In addition, the parties are working on deploying a range of mobile-enabled business models for the Mexican market in 2013-14 for various clients.
It looks like the next big thing has hit Kickstarter, and it's called Memoto. This tiny little 5 megapixel camera clips to your clothes, automatically takes pictures, geotags them, and once plugged into your computer over microUSB, uploads to the cloud for storage (provided you have a subscription plan with Memoto). There isn't a single button on the camera because it automatically starts shooting as soon as you start wearing it.
The picture quality isn't particularly great, but Memoto is aiming for sheer volume. We're talking two per minute for two days straight on a single charge. Luckily, the Android and web app will help organize everything into batches of shots and splice the moments into time-lapse videos. Sharing can be open or private, with selective visibility.

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (AP) ? It was intended as a friendly guide to Russia for labor migrants from Central Asia, but instead it turned into an insult. The brochure with practical advice on how to deal with border guards, police and other authorities was illustrated with depictions of migrant workers as paint brushes, brooms and other tools of low-skilled work.
The anger exploded this week. The government of Tajikistan formally urged Russian authorities to remove the book from circulation, and representatives of the Uzbek community voiced their outrage.
Activists see the book, published in Russia's second largest city, as a reflection of the discrimination against the growing number of impoverished, mostly Muslim, migrants in Russia who are working construction, cleaning offices, sweeping the streets and collecting the garbage.
"It's xenophobia pure and clear," said Lev Ponomaryov, a veteran Russian human rights defender. "They show residents of St. Petersburg as humans and depict migrants as construction tools."
Even though "A Labor Migrant's Handbook" was promoted on a city government website, authorities denied any connection to the publication when outrage erupted after bloggers discovered it and publicized it online last week. A non-government organization that published 10,000 copies of the book in the Russian, Uzbek, Kyrgyz and Tajik languages insisted it just wanted to provide useful information about everyday life in Russia.
"We didn't mean to insult anyone with this brochure ? on the contrary, we aimed to help labor migrants learn about their rights and avoid getting into trouble in this city," said Gleb Panfilov, deputy head of the Look into the Future group that published the book.
Panfilov said his group had people from the ex-Soviet nations of Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan look at the proofs prior to publication and received no complaints. He said he couldn't understand the public outrage now, many months after its release.
But in a country where dark-complexioned migrants are commonly victims of hate crimes and frequently live in miserable conditions, others are not surprised by the anger.
Alimzhan Khaidarov, the leader of the Uzbek community in St. Petersburg, said he was offended by the brochure. "They compared us, representatives of the ancient Uzbek culture, with construction tools. And not only us, but also representatives of Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan," Khaidarov told The Associated Press.
He said rights groups representing migrants from Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan will consider filing a lawsuit against the publisher.
On Monday, the Tajik government denounced the brochure as insulting and asked Russian authorities to stop its distribution, according to the Interfax news agency.
More than 1 million of the impoverished ex-Soviet nation's 7-million population live and work in Russia, and money they sent home totaled around $3 billion in 2011, equivalent to around half of the mountainous nation's gross domestic product. Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan also have been major exporters of labor to Russia.
Uzbek activist, Suratbek Abdurakhimov, called the publication an ethical mistake. "They should have consulted with representatives of the diasporas before the publication and found a more appropriate way to give the information," he said. He added that he was against giving the issue too much publicity to avoid fueling xenophobic sentiments among local residents.
"Local people are already to a certain extent irritated with migrants. Why irritate them more?," he asked.
Though hate attacks in Russia peaked in 2008, when 115 people were killed and nearly 500 wounded, according to Sova, an independent watchdog, the numbers are still high. A police crackdown on neo-Nazi groups helped stem the tide, but Sova said 20 people were killed and at least 130 others were wounded in racially motivated crimes last year.
The labor migrants often suffer from horrific labor conditions, a complete lack of social protection and medical care.
"The government has done nothing to protect their rights," Ponomaryov said. "There has been nothing but words."

Nokia and HTC's upcoming Windows Phone 8 flagships are still on the standard release path: announcement, federalapproval and now, pre-order. Keeping device availability tucked firmly under its hat, Best Buy is now offering Nokia's Lumia 920 and the HTC 8X for pre-sale, priced at $149.99 and $99.99, respectively. Early buyers have options, too: the Lumia 920 is kitted out in red, blue, yellow, black and white shells. Fashionistas with a flair for purple, however, will need to stick to HTC's hardware. Unfortunately, you don't get that much choice -- Best Buy's pre-orders don't balk at the devices' AT&T exclusivity. The retailer doesn't say when devices are going to ship, but we imagine early adopters won't have to wait too long.
Update: The Lumia 920 has disappeared from Best Buy's listings, while the 8X remains. This seems to suggest that pre-order stock for Nokia's new flagship has sold out, but given the short time it was available, let's hope that other issues are to blame and the absence is only temporary.
Three months ago, the Lawrence family barn was filled with chickens.
But now, as October nights turn cold and spooky, the only chickens remaining are the ones not brave enough to handle the horrifying sights inside the family?s haunted attraction.
Since Aug. 1, sisters Diane Lawrence and Carolyn Thorne have been converting the family barn, on Elgin Road just south of Dorchester, into a haunted house.
If the cobweb-covered cemetery, a ghostly pirate ship and blood-filled fountain aren?t enough to scare you away, maybe the blood-spattered ghost of Octo-Mom or the rotting corpses inside the makeshift detention centre will be.
?We?re just a couple of seniors with a wild imagination,? Lawrence said. ?We have creative minds and just decided to do it.?
Lawrence normally decorates the family barn for her grandson?s annual Halloween party, but now that he?s 15 years old, the women decided a haunted house might be more fun.
They?ve been combing thrift stores for a couple of months and whatever decorations they didn?t buy, they made
So far, the haunted barn has been a hit with the community. More than 100 people came to check it out on Saturday night alone.
Touring the haunted house is free of charge, but Lawrence is asking for donations for her grandson?s soccer team, the Marconi 97 Blue Devils, who are raising money for a trip to Italy in 2013.
In addition to serving up screams, Lawrence dishes out some Halloween treats in the Roadkill Caf?, for those who can stomach her goods.
?It?s amazing how many people enjoyed the bloody pus balls,? she said.
The haunted barn is open to visitors Friday and Saturday nights and on Halloween eve from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

BAIKONUR, Kazakhstan (AP) ? A Russian-made Soyuz rocket was erected into place Sunday, ahead of the start of a mission to take a three-man crew to the International Space Station.
For the first time since 1984, the manned launch will take place from Baikonur cosmodrome launch pad 31, while the pad that is normally used, from which Yury Gagarin began his landmark space mission, is undergoing modernization.
NASA's Kevin Ford and Russian astronauts Oleg Novitsky and Yevgeny Tarelkin will blast off Tuesday from the Russian-leased facility in southern Kazakhstan and will spend around six months on the orbiting laboratory.
They will join U.S. astronaut Sunita Williams, Russia's Yuri Malenchenko and Aki Hoshide of Japan's JAXA agency.
In accordance with custom, the entrance to the hangar storing the Soyuz craft slid open in the pre-dawn darkness as Russian and U.S. space officials looked on and took photographs.
By the end of the Soyuz's slow, half-hour trip from storage to the launch site resting on its side on a flatbed railway car, the sun had risen to reveal a cloudless sky.
Over the following hour, the craft was raised into its upright launch position, setting it off starkly against a backdrop of rolling, tinder-dry steppe.
The Soyuz's trip will last around two days and end when it docks with the Poisk module in the Russian segment of the ISS.
Ford, Novitsky and Tarelkin are scheduled to remain in orbit until March, covering a busy time at the space station that will include the first ever arrival of "Cygnus," a commercial cargo vehicle from the Orbital Sciences Corp., of Dulles, Virginia, scheduled for December.
Another two commercial SpaceX Dragon craft are also expected over the same period, as are an additional four Russian Progress resupply vehicles.
Of the three men blasting off Tuesday, only Ford has spent any time in orbit. He spent two weeks in space as pilot of the space shuttle Discovery in 2009 on a mission to transport scientific equipment to the ISS.
NASA's Tom Marshburn, Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield and Russian cosmonaut Roman Romanenko will join the station in December, taking the place of Williams, Malenchenko and Hoshide, who are due to return to earth next month.

Timmy Tan English 102 Ryan Jones October 19, 2012 Timmy Tan English 102 Ryan Jones October 19, 2012 The DACA program being issued The DACA program is a policy, which is abbreviated short for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. Since the DACA program is a policy it means that the program can be cut at any point of time. The program DACA has caused a lot of controversy to why illegal immigrants deserve the rights for these benefits. The United States has always been struggling when it came to immigration laws and now Obama passes the DACA program. The DACA program was created for young immigrants in the United States who have no legal status and were brought to the United States as children (??Who Qualifies..??). If that individual is approved for the DACA program they are granted Deferred Action status at the discretion of DHS (Department of Homeland Security) for a period of two years, which gives them two years protection against deportation, a work permit, and drivers license where the drivers license vary by states (??Who Qualifies..??). The DACA program was passed by President Obama on June 15, 2012 and there was an estimated amount of up to 1.75 million people that may be eligible for the DACA program. As much people there are that are estimated to be eligible for the DACA program most of these individuals are scared to apply for the DACA program. Many of these individuals fear of deportation on them or their family members after applying for the DACA program. These individuals think that they or their parents will be deported now that they have submitted all their information. Other individuals fear if the DACA program being tossed because they think if Obama isn?t re-elected and Romney wins, that Romney will cut the DACA program right away and maybe even start deporting the ones who applied already for the DACA program. There are a lot of mixed emotions towards the DACA program, since the DACA program is a policy it can be tossed at any time. As much people that are fearing the outcome of applying for the DACA program there are the fearless people who are still applying for the DACA program because of the benefits. As of September 11 there has been reported to be 72,000 applications, where there were only 40,000 the month before (??What Early???). There is a lot of speculation to if the DACA applications will go up or down or if they?re waiting to see who will be president next so nobody really is sure what?s going to happen to the DACA program. The DACA program applies to certain individuals who are under the age of 31, as of June 15, 2012 (??The Deferred Action...??). These certain individuals also had to fit these certain principles: ??Came to the United States before reaching their 16th birthday; were continuously residing in the United States since June 15, 2007 up to the present time (??The Deferred Action???)??. The Second principle is to be physically present in the United States on June 15, 2012, and at the time of making the request for consideration of Deferred Action (??The Deferred Action???). The third principle is to have entered without inspection before June 15, 2012, or lawful immigration status expired before June 15, 2012 (??The Deferred Action???). The fourth principle is to be currently in school, have graduated, or obtained a Certificate of Completion from high school, have obtained a General Education Development (GED) Certificate, or are an honorably discharged veteran of the Coast Guard or Armed Forces of the United States (??The Deferred Action???). The final principle to these certain individuals to fit into the DACA program is to not have been convicted of a felony, significant misdemeanor, three or more other misdemeanors, and do not otherwise pose a threat to national security or public safety (??The Deferred Action???). All these principles I?ve listed are the individuals who are eligible for the DACA program. Now that these certain individuals have the right to apply for the DACA program it seems unfair to the rest of the immigrants who are applying for visas, green cards, citizenship, etc. People who are immigrating into the United States that are following the laws have to wait years for their U.S. visas and it can take a very long time just to even come to the United States and gain these benefits like how the DACA program is allowing these individuals to gain these benefits. The DACA program is showing how weak the United States is when it comes to enforcing the immigration laws, now that the DACA program is passed it allows these certain individuals who got smuggled to the United States to easily get these benefits. It seems like the DACA program is unfair to the other immigrants by somewhat cutting in line in front of the other immigrants who have to wait years and years just for this opportunity to live here in the United States permanently and gain benefits. The United States needs to be stricter on their immigration laws. The United States immigration consists of a green card, citizenship, and U.S. visa. A U.S. visa consists of two types which are called the immigrant visas and nonimmigrant visas. Immigrant visas allow travelers to enter the U.S. in order to live and work permanently in the U.S. A non-immigrant visa allows travelers to enter the U.S. temporarily for a specific reason, such as tourism or business. In order to get a U.S. visa that individual must be secured by those wishing to enter the United States from another country to temporarily visit or work within American territory. Obtaining a U.S. visa can take long depending on which U.S. visa that individual is applying for so it is best that the application is done correctly or else that individual will have to re-apply, which is adding extra years on their wait to live in the United States. A U.S. visa allows that individual to travel to a port of entry, it allows international travelers to be able to come to the U.S. for a wide variety of reasons, such as tourism, work, etc. The process of permanently living in the United States and moving from a country and to be approved for a visa can take years, which is the first step to coming into the United States properly (?U.S. Visas??). A green card is next obtained after the U.S. visa is complete. A green card is available if that individual belongs to one of the immigrant categories outlined in the Immigration and Nationality Act or by marriage (??Green Card??). Usually all the green card applicants must be eligible to enter the U.S. through employment, investment, family, refugee status, or through some other pre-established means (??Green Card??). Before applying for a green card that individual has to apply for a U.S. visa first. The green card allows that individual to be a permanent residence in the United States, they will also legally live and work in the United States. The green card also lets that individual travel in and out of the country more freely and the green card is the first step towards the U.S. citizenship where one must generally have a Green Card before applying for naturalization, which is U.S. citizenship (??Green Card??). The green card is mainly for that individual to work in any company located in the U.S. territory. Now that the individual has a green card this will allow that person to have more opportunities. Green Card holders allow that individual to legally have their own car, firearms, and any other items the average Americans can own. A green card generally takes only a couple months to obtain or maybe even a couple of weeks. The final process of immigrating into the United States is to ultimately become a U.S citizen. An individual can apply for citizenship after obtaining a green card that has been valid during the 5 years prior to their application to become a citizenship (??U.S. Citizenship??). The advantage of being a U.S. citizen is the right to vote, being able to reunite your family in the United States. Obtaining citizenship for children born abroad, which means that if you?re a U.S citizen and your child was born outside of the country, he or she could become a U.S. citizen automatically. Another advantage of being a U.S. citizen is the ability to travel freely across U.S. borders, by having a U.S. passport that individual can travel overseas with no problem. Another advantage of being a U.S. citizen is to collect benefits such as social security. Another advantage of being a U.S. citizen is to become a federal employee, which means that you can now be a federal worker. Lastly an advantage of being a U.S. citizen is to become an elected official where most elected posts in this country require a U.S. citizenship (??U.S. Citizenship??). A U.S. citizen varies to how long it takes to obtain it; it may take months or maybe years. Another controversy towards DACA program is to why all of a sudden Obama passing the DACA program right when Election Day is coming. It seems like Obama is doing this for the votes so that Obama can be re-elected as President and to me personally it sure does look like Obama did this for the votes so that he can be re-elected as President. It doesn?t seem right to make the DACA program official a couple months before Election Day, just seems so fishy. The biggest issue towards the DACA program is to why these individuals who are illegal immigrants should have the right to obtain these benefits when it can take years for other immigrants to obtain these benefits. It bothers me just because the immigration law was enforced already and there is no need to change anything just because there was a lot of pressure towards the immigration law. I don?t think the DACA program should be enforced anymore because I don?t think these individuals deserve these benefits any more than the other immigrants applying for their visa, green card, or citizenship. I just feel like these individuals should?ve applied for their visa like any other person instead of complaining about the immigration law.

Sprinkle baking soda on your feet and between your toes, or apply a paste made with one tablespoon of baking soda and lukewarm water. Wait 15 minutes, rinse, and dry your feet thoroughly.
Black Eyes and Bruises
Firstly, treat the injury for 15 minutes with an ice-pack wrapped in a towel, to constrict the blood vessels. Remove the ice pack for ten minutes to allow your skin to warm up, and then repeat the treatment. Switch to heat the next day to dilate blood vessels and improve circulation (a warm, wet facecloth will work). To get rid of the discoloration, eat a few pawpaws. An enzyme in the fruit makes it easier for the body to re-absorb the blood trapped under your skin.
Bloodshot Eyes
If your eyes itch, your problem is probably allergies. A cold facecloth held over closed eyes will shrink blood vessels and reduce redness. If you?re eyes don?t itch, the problem is fatigue or a head cold. A warm facecloth will help your eyes relax.
Blurry computer vision
Tape a piece of newspaper to the wall about two meters from your computer screen. Every 15 to 30 minutes, look at the newspaper and bring the headlines into focus. Then look at your monitor. Do this five times, and then get back to work.
Burn on the roof of your mouth
If you over-nuked your leftover pizza and scorched the roof of your mouth, use an over-the-counter cough lozenge with benzocaine to cut the pain. If you don?t have any try sugar.
Cold Sores
Hold a wet tea bag on the sore; the tannin from the tea acts as an astringent.
Shin Splints
Arch your toes back towards your body while gently rubbing your calf. Start behind the knee and slide your hand down the muscle to the heel, then repeat. Rub along the length of the muscle, not across it.
Frosty finger
Heat up your digits by immersing them in warm water. Avoid rubbing your fingers together; it may damage the skin.
Hangnails
Use manicure scissors to trim of any sharp, dried skin around the edge of the nail. Then rub petroleum jelly over and around the nail, and leave overnight. The jelly will trap moisture and soften the dry skin underneath.
Heartburn
Chew a stick of sugar free gum ? the increase saliva will help your stomach acid flow, and it will also coat and protect your esophagus.
Hoarseness
Your vocal chords need rest, so don?t speak ? or even whisper. To get rid of the frog in your throat, take five to ten minutes shower, drink warm herbal tea with a slice lemon, and avoid caffeine, smoke, alcohol, and large or fatty late-night meals.
Ingrown Toenails
Soak your foot in war water to soften the nail. Then roll a small piece of cotton to the thickness of a candle wick, soak it with iodine, and place it between the skin and the tip of your nail. Wrap the toe with gauze, tape it, and change the dressing daily until the nail grows out.
Sunburn
Take an oatmeal bath. Wrap a cupful of oatmeal in sheeting or cheesecloth and hang it from your tap, so that the bath water runs directly over it as the tub is filling. No one knows exactly how the oatmeal works to soothe the pain, but you will feel better.
Nosebleeds
Sit up, so that gravity will lower the vein pressure inside your nose. Tilt your head forward slightly to keep blood from running down your throat.
Poison Ivy
If you know you?ve touched the stuff, you have ten to 30 minutes to wash the area and prevent a skin reaction. Soap and water work fine.
Rashes
Rub a paste of crushed vitamin C tablets and water on your skin.
Sensitive teeth
To prevent pain, smear a dab of petroleum jelly over your gums before bed.
Sore feet
Pour a handful of hard, uncooked beans into your slippers and walk around a few minutes. The rolling beans create an instant message. Then hold your feet under the bath tap. Run the water on hot one minute, cold the next. Alternate for ten minutes, ending in a cold rinse. To prevent future pain, sp[read marbles on the floor and pick then up with your toes.
Sore throat
For mild sore throat, there?s nothing better than gargling with warm salt water. You can try an old Roman trick: blend tomato juice with two cloves of garlic and a dash of Worcestershire sauce. Then drink it down.
Spicy food
To reduce the burn from a fajita, order a dish of rich ice cream, dip into the sour cream that?s already on the table, or send the waitress for a beer or margarita. Capsaicin, the substance that gives pepper their zing, dissolves readily in alcohol and fat. Rice and bread are also effective.
Splinters
Soak the area in warm water for up to 15 minutes. This makes the wood swell, which often causes the splinter to pop out on its own. If you want to pluck it with tweezers and you?re having trouble spotting the little nuisance, press a penlight to the sore spot. Light will pass through the skin and highlight the splinter?s angle and depth. If that doesn?t help, pour a thin layer of white glue over your finger. Let it dry, and then peel it of. The splinter will usually come off with the glue.
