#PAKISTAN: A bomb at a rally being held by supporters of a hardline cleric and political leader in Pakistan killed at least 40 people and injured more than 150.

#CHINA: Tens of thousands of people were evacuated from flood-prone areas of Beijing as Typhoon Doksuri lashed China’s capital with heavy rain today and residents were urged to stay indoors. 

#RUSSIA: Russia said it had downed Ukrainian drones targeting Moscow and the Crimea peninsula, in attacks that damaged two office towers in the capital and briefly shut an international airport.

    They are great apps but if it’s a life or death situation and you have to take out your phone and open an app and watch videos and read pages how to save them that’s valuable seconds wasted….
    Everyone should do a first aid course every few years no matter what, would save more lives !!! Technology can’t save everyone !!

    Kids should learn first aid in school instead of some of the other useless crap they are taught.

    Many do. In TY my daughter learned CPR and how to use a defibrillator.

    She went swimming in a lake yesterday * a local hotspot for teens. No life rings are there or lifeguards but a young lad of non Irish decent jumped into the water and couldn’t swim. He kept going under, all the teens (about 20) weren’t sure if he was acting the maggot. Anyhow my daughter jumped in and dragged him the the edge of the lake then roared at him for jumping in if he can’t swim and told him to get out. *she has never done lifesaving classes but is an ok swimmer, she would have been able to do cpr if needed. But this lake is 4 mile from town and they have to cross two fields to get to it. He could have made a deadly decision had all the teens not been there.

    In TY year it’s too late and not everyone dies TY. We did it into scouts around 12 odd. It’s simple snd potentially life saving.

    I wear a road id bracelet all the time with medical and next to kin details. Also have all the same details as my screen saver for the phone. While it may be extreme I sure It would help if I ever am in an accident.

    I have… one or two health issues, and have to take a lot of medication. I was given a present of an SOS pendant by a relative a few years ago, these also come in bracelet format I believe, and have the medical symbol on them, when opened they contain a small piece of paper on which you write all your medical information, which in my case is a lot.
    A few years ago I was chatting to a paramedic in the back of an ambulance as he was bringing me from one hospital to another and he happened to remark on this pendant. He pointed out that in any emergency situation he might look for one on my wrist, to see if I have a cardiac issue, if I’m epileptic, diabetic etc. but he won’t waste time trying to open one of these pendants or one of the USB types and then go looking for a computer to read it on. I now have one of the bracelet types.
    As that paramedic said, in any emergency situation they won’t waste time saying ‘where’s his phone I want to check his apps, you never know’. If you have an illness help them out, make it obvious for them.

    The ICE can be set up on any phone using android or os. So set up your contact and even if your phone gets lost and some non thieving good willing person can ring it and get it back to you hopefully.
