home if you are at risk from a nearby active volcano. The kit should include a first aid kit, canned food, bottled water, a battery operated radio, and a flashlight. It is also important to have easy access to protective clothing, dust masks, and goggles. These are important for after an eruption. Volcanic ash can irritate your skin, lungs, and eyes. Make sure to know the best evacuation routes in the event you need to escape the…
I have a friend named Logan who I have been friends with since about the third grade. We have been pretty much best friends for that whole time. Out of all my other friends he is the one who I can trust the most. He is the one who has spent the most time doing fun things with me. Like last summer he invited me to go to the Black River. Until he invited me I had no idea what the Black River was. The Black River is a pretty small river in comparison to the Kaskaskia or the Meramec. The river is in…
Tanvi The hot Hawaiian sun beat down on me as I boarded the boat with my sister. Last night, Christina, my sister, who is in college, came home for a day, and today we are going to go on our annual snorkeling trip. When I get to college, I want to make the college swim team, just like Christina. I was ecstatic because I was barely able to convince Christina to come with me. She had a very important test to study for. So, we compromised and she took her study material along with her. When we got…
to go. We had never dreamed of swimming with them! “Let's load up in the car everybody. We are off to the dolphins!” I ran and changed into my favorite bathing suit. I knew my mom would be taking pictures, so I wanted to look my best. I grabbed my goggles, my hat,…
Preventing infections related to microorganisms that are airborne, bloodborne, or droplets can be done by donning appropriate PPE; such as: surgical or procedural mask, respirator, gloves, long-sleeved gowns and eye protection such as goggles or face shields, and most importantly, washing hands before and after each patient care activity. The rationale behind this is to prevent skin and mucous membrane exposure when in contact with blood and body fluid of any patient and also to decrease…
slight exaggeration, but the booths did stretch a respectable distance. Ordinarily, this would not have interested me in the slightest. This time, though, my immediate reaction was different. On this day my initial thought was, “Impressive.” Drunk goggles, lessons on cancer, condoms, blood pressure measurement, and more sat on display at the wellness fair. Each of these items held high importance. Nevertheless, these displayed items are not the reasons behind the fairs importance. Wellness,…
Welding is the fusion or combination of metals using heat and with that we are able to make pipes, make pieces come back together or even your own thing. To start you will need all your safety equipment from safety goggles, mask, gloves, and pants and a long shirt as recommended, you will also need to be able to withstand heat and stand for long periods of time the metal can get up to 10,000 degrees and shape or bend into what into whatever you want it to. I’ve practiced…
others attempt to distract Paul, he still manages to recognize the truth. During a frustrating game against Palmetto Junior High, Paul was knocked to the ground and became an easy target for one of their team members to viciously “stretch out [his] goggles from [his] face, [scoop] a handful of mud, and smear it in [his] eyes” (122). The mud on Paul’s glasses not only blocks his vision but represents the need to conceal problems. Mud is the lies; it is trying to cover up the truth, but it…
a bit of snow. The snow is blowing very fast and the particles are very small which allows them to fly into your oxygen mask. Not only does this affect breathing, it affects your eyesight as well. The snow would go from your oxygen mask into your goggles which clogs them. Some may try to empty the snow out and take the glasses off but, it’s closer to the sun so, it’d be very bright, maybe causing permanent damage. Not being able to see may cause you to get off the path or not see what is in…
