SCA

Jul 22, 2008 Daily Blurbs, Hype

I wasn’t aware that 325,000 people die in a year - or nearly 900 per day because of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). In most cases, this happens without a warning. I know of some people who’s dad was taken away because of SCA. It could’ve been treated in minutes. It is a fact that when SCA occurs, it can be treated within 4 to 6 minutes, otherwise, the result may be fatal.

However, with the help of CPR¹ to help keep the blood pumping, and a shock from either the Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) or automated external defibrillator (AED), sudden cardiac arrests can be prevented.

Reading the title, do you remember that movie? The movie was hilarious, but it is not as hilarious to anyone who loses their vehicle in real life, that’s why vehicle tracking was invented. Vehicle tracking is done by the use of the technology called, GPS or Global Positioning System.

The GPS technology is being used by different agencies that need to track down something. Google Maps is one of the most popular tool that is being used to find a location. Back to finding a lost vehicle… A lot of carnapping cases and even murder cases have been solved by the use of technology. Just check out the video below and you will understand how useful vehicle tracking via GPS is.

Come to My Booth

Jul 21, 2008 Buzz, products, reviews

Have you ever gone to see trade show exhibits? One of the biggest malls here in Manila usually holds trade shows in their mega trade hall. The exhibit that I attended was about the different Philippine-made products.

Everything in the exhibit was unique and different from each stall; from the table covers, to the items, and even some presenters wore different themed outfits. Some of the stalls sold their items, like native bags and purses, shoes, sculptures, clothes, and more. I remember my dad buying this sculpted water buffalo ashtray. He doesn’t use it, though.

I think that trade show stalls are defined by the how they present themselves. It should start with their table top display. It must look presentable and organized, too. This attracks more people into your booth. The more people, the more potential buyers or clients.
