How To Help An Expectant Mother Deliver

TAKE UNLIMITED PAID SURVEYSIf you find a Mother in labour on the streets, instead of screaming and taking videos;
Put the Mother on the ground or a steady surface, like the back seat of a car. Make sure she is as comfortable as possible. Remind her to try to pant, or only push very gently with the contractions.
Get a cloth.
As the baby's head becomes visible, place your hand on the head with the cloth and provide it with support to keep it from popping out or hitting the ground. Cold can kill a new born baby.
Gently Guide Baby Out
Do not pull on the baby's head or body. Let the baby and labor contractions do the work. You may gently guide the baby out.
Clean babys nose.
Once the baby comes out, gently stroke downward on the baby's nose to help expel the excess mucus and amniotic fluid. Place the baby skin-to-skin on mom, with the baby's head slightly lower than its body (to help facilitate draining the mucus). If the newborn inhales mucus or amniotic fluid this could block its lungs and make it have breathing problems.Cover both of them with dry blankets or towels.
The placenta will likely deliver itself it the next 30 minutes. If it is born, before help arrives, place it next to the baby. Do not cut the cord. Cutting the cord without proper items to the could lead to bleeding.
Facilitate transfer to the nearest hospital.
You could save lives.

MOURNING THE ONLY PRINCIPAL I KNEW

By Dr.Paul Bundi Karau I arrived at Kanyakine High School on 18th February 1999 a small village boy.

The boys who were assigned to escort me to Mungania dorm looked at my stunted height and loudly wondered how I would survive in Beast's school.  "Who is Beast?" I asked in bewilderment. "You will know." Musyoki answered curtly. It didn't take me long to know who Beast was. The following day, as the 10 o'clock tea was being served, I heard a commotion, with boys leaving their tea and running helter-skelter towards the classrooms.  I was a fresh mono, so I didn't know what was happening. I ran along the pavement, and came upon a mighty man, who appeared to be adjusting his trousers. He yanked his belt and thrust one whip towards me. I had encountered Beast himself. He was tall, imposing, burly and endowed with a thunderous voice that could re...

Political Tumbocrats

*Political Tumbocrats* A political tumbocrat is a person who hangs around elected leaders to satisfy her/his personal greed. Tumbocrats sees a leader as a demigod whom they worship. The r bootlickers and sycophants of the highest order. Their work is to defend leaders and cheat public that something is happening. A tumbocrat has no values or morals. A tumbocrat is not interested with common good but personal good. A tumbocrat has no vision but appetite for being near high table of power  and feeding on crumbs.   Tumbocrats are greatest obstacles to development in our country. They protect the corrupt and shield the bad governance in so far as they get something to fill their tumbos. They are good and articulate in arguments but they lack the moral authority because they don't value truth. Every political leader is surrounded by tumbocrats. They are the noise makers in social media and around leaders defending them. They peddle lies en create propagandas . They confuse the publ...
