If an I/O Device Error appears on your computer screen upon left-clicking your Memory Card and you have troubles opening your files, you may need to format your MMC or SD Card. If you cannot format it on your computer, try formatting it on your phone or camera. But of course, the data in your memory card will be lost, so, be quick and clever enough to perform backup tasks before doing so.

However, there is a Memory Card Data Recovery Software that you can find on the internet and download it into your computer. I have tried it when I had problems opening my MMC files and it worked. The lost data were all retrieved. That’s one good news!

Then, if the memory card works good on your phone or camera, try to connect it again to your computer. If it yields the same result, an I/O Device Error still appears on the screen and you cannot left-click the memory card, then, there may be some problems with your Card Reader. The card reader may have corrupted the files in your SD or memory card.

Even if you buy a new SD or MMC and try it on with your card reader, you may just be risking the new SD or Memory Card and waste your money. The card reader may already be damaged, and if it already is, it will damage every card you put in it. Instead, buying a new Card Reader gets the problem solved. Period.

We all know that English is the universal language. However, in Thailand it is a foreign language and only a few knows how to speak English. Nevertheless, Thailand’s Ministry of Education had already instituted the English Program as part of the curriculum in all schools from preschool to college. On the other hand, I came to Thailand not to study English but to study the Thai language itself which people may say “hard to learn”. And I think so because my sisters were already here for about 10 years but still cannot read or write in Thai. They only learned to speak the common Thai phrases. Perhaps, Thai language may be really hard to learn.

It was only two weeks past since I arrived in Thailand when my sister took me on an exclusive tutorial of Thai language. I was the first and only “farang” (foreigner) student. The rest of the students were all Thai natives who were also enrolled for tutorial in any other subjects.

Learning Thai language was tough but I really enjoyed every minute I spent on it. And unbelievably, in only 12 hours I already knew how to read and write in Thai which was very difficult and mind-twisting. It was really an amazing experience! I am very glad that I already have a third language. Nonetheless, I am not yet through with the whole course. The next level would be focused on speaking or conversational Thai and I am so excited for it!

It is very important to know some first aid tips so that in times of emergency we already know what to do initially, especially if there are no rescuers and rescue equipment readily available. In all emergency situations, always remember to prioritize the ABC - (1) Airway, (2) Breathing and (3) Circulation. Here are some tips in positioning a casualty and their rationales.

In aspiration, the casualty should be placed in prone position with the head turned to the side in order to maintain a patent airway and to avoid further airway obstruction.

If a casualty is having dyspnea or difficulty in breathing, place him or her in Fowler’s position to allow lung expansion. The head should be in 45 to 90 degrees angle.

If a casualty is in shock, place him or her in Trendelenburg position. The body is laid flat on the back (supine position) with the feet higher than the head. This is to increase the blood pressure so as to counteract shock. In this condition, insufficient blood flow reaches the body tissues that may lead to hypoxemia (a lack of oxygen in arterial blood) or cardiac arrest (the heart stopping). If there is no immediate action, it can cause death.

This procedure was taken from the Ziphone 3.0 software which may be useful in downgrading iPhone Firmware 2.0 to 1.1.4.

Full Hardware DFU:

1) Start iTunes and plug the phone in.
2) With the phone powered on, hold both the POWER and HOME buttons for mseven seconds. The screen should turn black.
3) Wait two seconds while the screen is black and release the POWER button while still holding the HOME button.
4) The screen will remain black, but after a few more seconds iTunes will detect the phone in recovery mode.
5) Release the HOME button and proceed to restore firmware with iTunes. Timing is fairly important on this. If your phone reboots or ends up in recovery mode, just try again. You might want to look at a clock that shows seconds while you do this. The timing needs to be exact for it to work. If you enter this mode by mistake, hold the HOME and POWER buttons for seven seconds until you see the Apple logo and immediately release both buttons. The phone should reboot normally, assuming a valid firmware image is present on the phone.
