N95 Particulate Respirator will work fine.

the valve is just for letting the moist/warm air out and it wont make a difference to your safety just your comfort.

You'r still playing a game of chance with it, they don't have 100% filtration, but its better than going with nothing, just make sure you have it sealed right.

Here is a guide to sealing it : http://www.natlallergy.com/images/art/8233user.pdf This is for the N100 but the steps will work for making sure N95 is sealed properly.

Here is what they're saying about using masks, what kind, and other information/FAQ's:

Paintball can be a very painful experience, especially for those inclined to ignore prescribed rules of safety and common sense. It is also painful for those too old to bend as easily as they once did, but those injuries should fall in the "lacks common sense" category.

It would appear from my research that a great many injuries are minor and can be considered part of the game. The injuries I address here are the more serious and avoidable ones. All injuries are avoidable, but taken too far you lose the spirit of the game. I find it ironic that the most serious injuries are the easiest to avoid.

The most common injury by far are the eye injuries. This says a lot about the intelligence and/or maturity of the paintball enthusiasts. The simple expedient of wearing the face mask immediately takes this injury off the playing field. In supervised play the face mask is mandatory, but not all play is supervised and those participants are obviously not going to be the most responsible. While these injuries are avoidable, it is my opinion that we will always have them. Those wishing to avoid those injuries should simply avoid the unsupervised arenas. I would like to point out that those players wearing Ghillie Suits have an extra measure of protection from eye injuries, especially if their suit has a Hood as any paintball Ghillie should.

The next most common injury is being struck by pellets in the gonads or groin area. This is a serious injury only because most paintballers are young and have their procreation years ahead of them. Some of these genital injuries have indeed left the victims permanently incapacitated. Again, all of these injuries are preventable through the simple expedient of wearing a cup. Think of it as a face mask for the balls. Of course this injury is serious only to the injured party while for some reason I will never understand, the rest of the world finds it hilarious. I don't think this injury comes under any supervision, so you're on your on to protect your valuables. Yet again a certain measure of protection is available by wearing a Ghillie Suit. Quite often paintballers in Ghillie Suits are struck repeatedly and never even feel it.

I mention this last hazard only because of the severity of the injuries. There have been deaths recorded as a result of stray CO2 cartridges. This is absolutely preventable. The canister valve must turn with the canister. Failing to take notice of this one fact can be deadly. In this particular circumstance I cannot imagine A Ghillie Suit providing any benefit.

If you play paintball in a regulated environment, it is extremely rare that an injury will occur that could be considered severe. Hurts, scrapes, lesions, bruises aplenty are an integral part of the sport, just as they are in football, baseball, or any active sport. To avoid it all take up shuffleboard. If you don't yet have your Ghillie Suit, get it now at http://www.ghilliesandstuff.com/

Happy Woodsying!

How to Make a Homemade Facial Mask

Homemade Facial Mask

Looking good is one of the prerequisites of feeling good and vice versa. However, many-a-times, enhancing your outer appearance can also make you feel good on the inside too. Loitering in the house, looking extremely shabby, is hardly going to do anything to lift up your spirits. Since the first thing that you see in the mirror is your face, it deserves your utmost attention.

Make Your Own Homemade Face Mask

You can use basic ingredients found around the house to make your own simple, hydrating masks. If you have oily or acne prone skin, mud or clay-based masks are great for balancing out your skin. Dry skin will benefit from hydrating masks made from glycerin, honey and oils. Ginseng or green tea masks are great for soothing skin.

Honey for Best Facial

The best facial mask that i have found is honey. Use warm cloth to open pores, smear on honey, leave on 15 to 30 minutes, rinse off with warm water, and then use cold water to close pores. Use for 3 days in a row and then once a week. Sometimes I mix a little gound oatmeal with the honey, which makes a great mask.

Mask to Combat Oily Skin

When I was a teenager I had very oily skin, and hence acne outbreaks were not at all an uncommon thing. Even now as an adult I still have problems with areas of my face being quite oily. This can be a very irritating thing as it can cause make-up to melt, your skin to look shiny and can make acne a very real thing even for those of us far past the age where we should have to worry about such things.

Turmeric Facial Mask

This is the traditional mask, also used for a bride, seven days in advance of marriage.Take in a cup half a cup of besan (gram flour), 2 tsp of turmeric powder, 2 tsp of sandal wood powder, 2 tsp of ghee or almond oil, add some water to make a paste. Apply to face and whole body and leave for 5-10 minutes. Rub with pressure with both palms and fingers to remove all the paste.

Homemade Facial Masks For Skin

Home made facial masks are very easy to make. There is two types of masks; a relaxing mask and a stimulating mask.Relaxing masks moisturize the skin and refresh the skin. Stimulating masks promote blood flow and firm up the skin. Face masks offer the best protection in the fight against Sars. Dry skin will benefit from hydrating masks made from glycerin, honey and oils.

Homemade Facial Mask

Mash 1/2 banana and add 1 Tbsp. honey and 2 Tbsp. sour cream. Apply to face and let set for about 10 minutes. Gently wipe off with a damp wash cloth.Two Tbsp. of cornmeal mixed with enough water to make a thick paste makes a great inexpensive facial mask. Gently apply to face and wash off.

Make Home Made Face Masks

Love how your face feels after a pricey facial mask treatment? Love that sensation but would love to have it at home, and cheaper? Then these face mask recipes are perfect for you. These recipes are specifically designed for oily skin types, these face mask recipes will be a treat to do for yourself or for a nice gift for a friend or relative.

There are several different types of CPR faceshields.

Microshields have a sheet of plastic type material, and a tube to go in the victim's mouth. These are best for carrying around in a first aid kit/survival kit because they work well and are small.

Faceshields- commonly in a container labeled "pocket mask" are triangularish masks that have an air filled "cushion" as a base, achieving a better seal around the person's mouth. These also usually have an Oxygen input.
Generally, these are carried on ambulances and are found on pool decks, etc (anywhere where oxygen tanks are available).

Both general types are excellent for preventing disease transmission as they have a one way valve.
Microshields are directly on the victim's face, so if your victim was to vomit, you must recognize it immediately so they do not asphyxiate on it. This also may lead to a clogged filter which must be cleaned out before proceeding.
These are NOT reusable.

Face shields have a bubble created around the victims' mouth and nose, with an elevated tube for the rescuer to administer breaths. This tube still has a one way filter so that anything that comes from the victim/rescuer stays with the person it came with.
The bonus to the bubble is that the filter likely won't become clogged when your vicitm vomits. Also, the vomit will have a faster exit from the victim, allowing a better chance that they will not be choking on their own vomit.
Though the tube with one way valve is not reusable, the faceshield itself can be disinfected and reused. The valve/tube is detachable.
Again, because of the oxygen input, if a tank is available you can increase the amount of oxygen your victim gets by a substantial amount (16% oxygen from your exhalation to about 50% or more).

Adult and Child can use either type as the tube insertion (the part that sticks into the victims mouth) on the microshield can be accomodated by their mouth.
Infants have smaller mouths, and a microshield will probably just end up choking them, so a raised faceshield (pocket mask) would be better.

***faceshield IS a pocket mask.

***Microshield is what you'd get in a CPR course to "take home"

***Faceshields are used on the mannequins.

Background Of The Endotracheal Tube

Background of the endotracheal tube

It is a common practice to provide human medical patients with artificial ventilation during surgery or in emergency situations. For example, accident victims will frequently require CPR or intubation by a paramedic in an emergency vehicle or by an anesthesiologist in an operating room. There are other surgical procedures which require use of an endotracheal tube to collapse one lung.

Intubation is accomplished by insertion of an endotracheal tube through the patient's mouth or nasal passages into the airway passage. Such devices have generally comprised a relatively pliable tube with means for connecting it to a respirator or other air supply mechanism for introduction of air into the lungs. An improvement to feeding tubes includes an inflatable/deflatable bag-like structure or balloon "cuff" around the exterior of the tube.

Both single lumen and double lumen endotracheal tubes are known. Typically, a single lumen endotracheal tube is an tracheostomy tube that extends into the trachea of a patient upon intubation and includes one inflatable balloon cuff near its distal end. Commonly, the double lumen endotracheal tube is referred to as an endobronchial tube and, in addition to one lumen which extends to the trachea, has a second longer lumen which extends into the bronchus of a patient upon intubation.

The so-called double lumen endobronchial tubes also offer anesthesiologists the ability to insufflate selectively either the right or left lung or both lungs as required. The so-called double lumen endobronchial tubes also offer the physician the ability to collapse either lung as needed for certain procedures. The size of laryngeal mask airway and endobronchial tubes is limited.

When an endotracheal tube is needed for pediatric use, the size limitations are even more restrictive. In pediatric patients, the size of the trachea is approximately the same size as the patient's pinky finger. In pediatric patients, a single lumen endotracheal tube is advanced into the bronchus until breath sounds on the operative lung disappear. A fiberoptic bronchoscope may be passed along the endotracheal tube to confirm or guide placement of the endotracheal tube.

The larger lumen provided in a single lumen endotracheal tube affords the anesthesiologist access for other instrumentation through the lumen as required. The removal of mucus, the injection of medication, or the insertion of fiberoptic instrumentation for viewing within the endotracheal tube are examples of the additional instrumentation capability which is afforded by a single lumen tube.

For these and other reasons both prior art single and double lumen tubes are not fully satisfactory. There is a need for an endotracheal tube that can be inserted and quickly located in the correct position. There is also a need for an endotracheal tube that can be used to collapse one lung while ventilating the other lung. There is also a need for a single lumen endotracheal tube that can be used in pediatric patients. There is also a need for catheters that can be sealed at their distal ends.

WORK AREA SAFETY IN INDUSTRIAL PLANTS

To make your work area safe you must know what hazards you can expect to encounter and what to do to control and eliminate them. The information contained here explains the importance of working safely and methods for controlling safety in your work area.

Here we briefly describe many of the hazards frequently encountered in plants like Built-in hazards, Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical and Environmental hazards.

BUILT- IN HAZARDS: Certain features of plant layout and design like location of equipments, stairs, entrance and exits, the layout of floors, platforms, lighting arrangements, heating and ventilation systems are already exist i.e. built-in that you cannot change. These can cause accidents and the best you can do is to recognize and avoid them.

MECHANICAL HAZARDS: In various cases of accidents chances of moving parts of machinery or tools are involved. A worker has to take special care to keep his clothes, body and tools away from moving machinery. When a machine has to be shut down for repairs the machine electrical controls must be locked and warning signs must be posted on the panel like "Danger. Do not start, personnel working".

Working on pipe lines, tubing system will produce exposures to heat and pressure, avoid accident by isolate the system and cool down and de-pressurize it. 

Many plants have hand trucks, forklifts etc for moving material within the designated aisles, if a work is to be done near or traffic paths protect yourself and others by placing signs and barricades to warn traffic or else the result could be serious injury if your ladder is struck by passing vehicle. Do not place the tools and material in such a way that they are not a hazard to traffic by falling in the aisle.

Temporary scaffoldings, platforms are erected while working at heights, on buildings walls, roof and ceilings. These items should have railing and guards to keep workers, tools and materials from sliding and falling off the edge. Place signs below the scaffold to warn the passerby of the falling objects. Make sure a worker is attentive and cautious while working at height, as a slip could have been fatal. Ladders in use for working at height must be secured from both top and bottom and should be at safe angle, steps of ladders should be clear of tools, grease etc. Hanging scaffolding are secured by rope rigging from top and the platform should be level because if the rope at one end breaks or loose the platform can swing down to vertical position rapidly dumping off workers and material. Safety belts and harness should be use to secure yourself while working on heights and roofs.

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS: occasionally worker is required to work in hot conditions near boiler or heaters though such are normally insulated but generally there is some heat in the area. Place an air blower to supply cool air & expel the hot air. Prolong exposure in high temperature work areas can cause heat cramp and heat exhaustion. Severe and rapid stomach or muscle cramps are due to excessive loss of body moisture and salt. Dizziness, weak pulse, lower than normal body temperature, heavy sweating are the signs of Heat exhaustion. Taking Salt tablets and Drink water in moderate amounts are routine preventive measures for both heat cramps and exhaustion.

When working in enclosed areas, follow recommended safety measures. A person should be kept standby at the entrance, wear a safety harness and a lifeline so if you are overcome you can be pulled out. Enclosed space should be vented by air blower of toxic or inflammable fumes. Oxygen content in that space to be checked before entering. Do not wear nylon clothing and use non-sparking tool in an enclosed space to prevent sparking which can cause explosion in case working in a fuel tank. An explosion proof hand lamp should be used in such spaces.

Radiation from X-rays and radioactive material can cause severe damage to the human body. Wear special protective clothing to reduce exposure to the radiation. Radiation area should be clearly marked with radiation signs.

CHEMICAL HAZARDS: This is one of the most treacherous hazard, where chemicals are concerned one should know the properties and hazard of particular chemical involved. Read material safety data provided with it before handling. Wear protective clothes, gloves, fresh air mask and goggles or face shield. Make sure the chemical not to be splashed or spilled.

ELECTRICAL HAZARDS: Almost every job you perform will include exposure to electricity and its dangers. Avoid touching energized or hot wire. Always use equipment & tools, which are grounded and insulated. Do not use frayed, damaged or spliced chords. Avoid moist clothes, shoes, tools and hands. Metal objects and water is good conductor of electricity. Insulate nearby metal objects. Avoid wet surfaces and place insulating mats while working on panels.

lol theres a reason why proof by verbosity is considered no proof at all

does any of your long-winded rant contain any solid evidence of his guilt?

nope

which is why the man was freed

"had the fibres of dando on a pair of his jeans"

fibres of dando??? lmao

So you scored the number of the beauty at the party. Congratulations. Now comes the hard part - winning her over on your first official outing together. What happens during that critical meeting will nudge her towards a close encounter - or towards the door.

I went out with women I'd either met on my own or been set up with through friends or online. We had coffee, went out for dinner, took in a movie and, a few times, got slightly liquored. After each encounter I dissected what had happened (or what hadn't), and why.

In some cases, I swung and missed. In others, I made it well past first base. Though it wasn't always pretty, I uncovered a few key secrets to turning first encounters into second, third and possibly more outings. Read on, and date like a man who's been there before.

Start Somewhere Old

Poor Tiana. This cute brunette actress, a friend of my friend Dave, was my unfortunate first date. We met for dinner at a French restaurant I'd never set foot in before. 'So, what's good here?' she chirped. 'To be honest, I don't have a clue,' I replied. Her blank look spoke volumes. She wasn't impressed. And the poor service didn't help. I felt foolish. The venue was one aspect of the date I could control, and it was proving to be more of an annoyance than an aphrodisiac. After dinner, Tiana said she had to meet up with some friends and split. Ouch.

We're at our best when we're comfortable. So go where you've been before - even with other women.

A couple of nights later, I took Mandy, a book publicist I'd met at a party, to, my favorite burger joint, a classic bar. I've eaten there often, so I had no problem scoring a great table. When she asked, 'What's good here?' I replied, 'You'd be crazy not to try the bearnaise burger, medium rare, with sweet potato chips and a bottle of wine.' She did just that, took one bite of the burger, and raved, 'Oh, wow, this is amazing.'

It wasn't long before our eyes were locking and our hands were wandering. Afterwards, she asked, 'Want to walk me home?' That's where we wrapped up our evening.

Your Battle Plan

Most men don't do this, but creating and repeating successful date templates is critical. They can hook you up with prime tables and drinks to help you impress.

Surprise Her with Questions

First-date conversations follow predictable lines - where you're from, what you do for a living. I stuck to this script, but on one date, out of boredom, I geared things up. It began when I asked Janelle, a public-relations rep, what, as a child, she wanted to be when she grew up. Her response - TV presenter - not only gave me insight into her personality, but also provided an opening for me to share my childhood dream: at age 12, I'd started a band called Stiff Lederhosen. We made one recording before I realized I could neither play guitar nor sing with any skill. Janelle laughed, so I followed up with more fresh questions. We talked about what kind of animals we'd like to be, what kind of superpowers we'd love to possess and other whimsical topics.

These unexpected questions allowed her to open up. And because the questions grew increasingly flirtatious, our chemistry bloomed. Every man I know who's good with women has a host of stories, questions and jokes that elicit good responses. Meeting and dating takes time and is competitive, so come prepared.

Extend the Encounter

One of my best first dates was with Jamie, a writer I met on a dating website. Try changing locations midway through. It will reenergize the mood and create a sense of shared adventure. My first thought when I met Jamie was, We'll be lucky to move past one drink. Other women I'd met with her look - tiny, blonde, cocktail dress - were a bit boring. But she proved to be edgier than I'd expected.

After some drinks at a hotel bar, we were both restless, so I suggested moving to a cool little restaurant famous for its delectable Portugeuse sausages. She loved it. We ended the evening with a kiss, and went out three times in the following two weeks.

Set up locations so things flow from casual and fun to romantic and intimate. No need to mention the second spot when you set up the date - just have it in your back pocket should the situation arise.

Know when you're Bombing

Ever been on a date that you thought went great, only to never hear from the girl again? I found myself on the other side of this scenario thanks to Lindsay, another woman I met through an online singles network. She was cool, but I wasn't physically attracted to her, so I found myself smiling tightly and chuckling a lot, just to be polite. After an hour, I said I had to head out.

The next day Lindsay emailed me a sweet note. I never wrote back. But I was bothered by my date with Janice, a website editor who seemed really into me only to leave after an hour for a work call at 9pm. According to sociologist and relationship experts, my experience with Lindsay mirrors what many women go through on unsatisfying dates.

Women generally smile a lot to mask negative emotions, so she may do that during your long, drawn-out story that she actually finds boring. To find out if she is truly into you, look for signs that actually mean something. Drinking lots of alcohol, touching you, heavy eye contact and leaning in towards you are all good signs. If she ignores her cellphone, that's a great sign. Receiving these signals? Try touching her hand. If she doesn't pull back-then you've probably won her over.
