The document provides an overview of various social networking services including MySpace, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Second Life. It discusses key features and statistics for each service. For MySpace and Facebook, it notes they are large social networking websites with over 100 million and 62 million users respectively. LinkedIn is described as focused on professionals and business people. Twitter allows sending short text-based updates up to 140 characters. Second Life is an online virtual world where users create avatars to interact in a 3D environment.

This document discusses key concepts for medical procedures including indications, contraindications, preparation, technique, assessment, complications, and aftercare. It then provides examples of specific procedures like nasogastric tube insertion, wound care and suturing, foley catheter insertion, ring removal, fishhook removal, and treating zipper injuries. The goal is to review fundamental elements involved in common procedures.

This document discusses the importance of data gathering and analysis for libraries. It provides examples of the types of data libraries can collect, including circulation statistics, collection size and age, room bookings, and patron surveys. Collecting and analyzing both quantitative and qualitative data helps libraries measure their performance, identify gaps, and demonstrate their value. The document also provides case studies of libraries that effectively gather and report data, including through the use of infographics and benchmarking against standards.
This document summarizes a session on contributions of Web 2.0 technologies. It discusses tagging, social bookmarking sites like Delicious and LibraryThing, adding tag clouds to library catalogs, and topic maps. Specific topics covered include how tagging differs from controlled subject headings, how Delicious and LibraryThing allow saving and sharing bookmarks and book lists, using tag clouds to represent tags visually, and how topic maps standardize representing and sharing knowledge through topics, associations, and occurrences.

This document provides an overview of emergency medical services in Singapore. It discusses the history and organization of EMS in Singapore, including the following key points:
- EMS is run by the Singapore Civil Defence Force and primarily utilizes a single-tier ambulance system.
- There are plans to improve response times and pre-hospital care through initiatives like deploying fast response paramedics and enabling wireless transmission of 12-lead ECGs.
- Medical oversight is provided through the SCDF Medical Advisory Committee to ensure quality of care and clinical standards.

1) Always start with basic life support including high-quality chest compressions and minimize interruptions to compressions.
2) Check pulse and EKG rhythm every 2 minutes to determine if shock or continued compressions are needed.
3) Administer drugs including epinephrine, amiodarone, and atropine according to protocols to treat shock-resistant rhythms.
CPR 2010 provides guidelines for basic life support, which involves chest compressions, airway, and breathing (CAB). The chain of survival emphasizes recognition of cardiac arrest, early CPR, early defibrillation if needed, and advanced life support. Chest compressions should be performed at a rate of at least 100 per minute with a depth of 2 inches and full chest recoil between compressions while minimizing interruptions. The recommended chest compression to ventilation ratio is 30:2 with 1 second rescue breaths and avoiding hyperventilation. An automated external defibrillator should be used for defibrillation if needed as part of the chain of survival.
