URGENT!!!! PLEASE READ!

Worth Passing On!

Sad, especially if you are inclined to 'help' people...

While driving on a rural end of the roadway on Thursday morning, I saw
an infant car seat on the side of the road with a blanket draped over
it.  For whatever reason, I did not stop, even though I had all kinds
of thoughts running through my head.  But when I got to my
destination, I called the  Police and they were going to check it out.
But, this is what the Police advised even before they went out there
to check....

"There are several things to be aware of ... gangs and thieves are now
plotting different ways to get a person (mostly women)to stop their
vehicle and get out of the car.

"There is a gang initiation reported by the local Police  where  gangs
are placing a car seat by the road...with a fake baby in it...waiting
for a woman, of course, to stop and check on the abandoned baby.

"Note that the location of this car seat is usually beside a wooded or
grassy (field) area and the person  -- woman  -- will be dragged into
the woods, beaten and raped, and usually left for dead.  If it's a
man, they're usually beaten and robbed and maybe left for dead, too.

DO NOT STOP FOR ANY  REASON!!!


DIAL 1 1 8 or 1 1 9

AND REPORT WHAT YOU SAW, BUT DON'T EVEN SLOW DOWN.

"IF YOU  ARE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND EGGS ARE THROWN AT YOUR WINDSCREEN,
DO NOT STOP TO CHECK THE CAR,  DO NOT OPERATE THE WIPER  AND DO NOT
SPRAY ANY WATER BECAUSE EGGS MIXED WITH WATER BECOME MILKY AND BLOCK
YOUR VISION UP TO 92.5%,  AND  YOU ARE THEN FORCED TO STOP BESIDE THE
ROAD AND BECOME A VICTIM OF THESE CRIMINALS.

THIS IS A NEW TECHNIQUE USED BY GANGS, SO PLEASE INFORM YOUR FRIENDS
AND RELATIVES.

THESE ARE DESPERATE TIMES AND THESE ARE UNSAVOURY INDIVIDUALS WHO WILL
TAKE DESPERATE MEASURES TO GET WHAT THEY WANT."


Please talk to your loved ones about this. This is a new tactic used.
Please be safe.

Get started NOW -- SEND THIS MESSAGE TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND LOVED
ONES TO BE CAREFUL AND AWARE OF EVERYTHING AROUND THEM SO AS NOT TO

BECOME A VICTIM.

For Everyone's Safety

STROKE(ආඝාතය):
Remember The 1st Three Letters... S.T.R .
My friend sent this to me and encouraged me to post it and spread the word. I agree. If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks.


STROKE IDENTIFICATION:

During a
party, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. (they offered to call ambulance)

They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm , Ingrid passed away.)

She had suffered a stroke at the
party . Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today.




Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. It only takes a minute to read this...


STROKE IDENTIFICATION:





A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.


RECOGNIZING A STROKE


Remember the '3' steps,
STR . Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms(රෝගලක්ෂණ) of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster.

The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.

Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking
three simple questions :

S
* Ask the individual to SMILE ..
T
* = TALK. Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (eg 'It is sunny out today').
R
* Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS .

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call the ambulance and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.


NOTE
: Another 'sign' of a stroke is
1.
Ask the person to 'stick' out their tongue.
2. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke.

A prominent cardiologist (හෘදරෝග වෛද්‍යවරයා) says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.
