There’s the tears and the screams followed by hours of fruitless attempts to remove the pesky shard. Tweezers, warm water, sucking – we have tried the lot.

 But one mum has discovered an ingenious hack for removing splinters, fragments of glass and even bee stings from her children’s skin – and it’s so simple.

The woman, who lives in Australia, explained on Facebook how she uses the syringe that comes in boxes of children’s Nurofen to remove all kinds of stings and splinters.

‘If you have ever bought Nurofen for kids before, you would know it comes with this little thing to measure/administer the liquid medicine,’ she wrote.

‘Simply place the outer tube hole over the wound site, press firmly against the skin, then pull the inside orange tube out really quickly.’ 

She lauded the technique as ‘quick’ and ‘painless’ and it definitely sounds better than trying to dig around looking for a splinter with tweezers. 

‘The vacuum in the tube should extract the offending item,’ she explained, adding that parents should definitely add one of these syringes to their first aid kits. 

The post has amassed more than 11,000 likes in the parenting group on Facebook. One user replied: ‘Such a great idea.

‘Kids panic if you go near them with needles and tweezers to get those things out.’ 

Apparently the same technique can also be used on blackheads – which is something we are definitely keen to test out.

Clever Design Hack – Fake Browser Bookmark Bar by Time, Inc

By Jeremy O'Briant

I was surfing around this evening and I noticed a clever hack by Time, Inc.   At first I thought I had downloaded a browser virus…. then thought chrome had added a new schema-tag feature… but after further review it is just a clever hack by the web designers.  Across the top of the website they have placed a grey bar that mimics the browser bookmark bar:

The bar links to other Times properties and is present across them.  It is also anchored at the top so appears completely like a bookmarks bar.  I checked it in Chrome and Explorer and it was the same… and not present on mobile.  I also checked it out on archive.org and it seems to be relatively new.  It got me thinking about some possibilities web designers could do here and I wonder if we will start to see more of this as publishers try to combat the death of the home page.

How to visit Forums without registering or logging in!!

Many times while browsing something, we reach on some forums on which we can get useful stuff related to the topic on which we were searching.. But when we open the topic's page it block us by saying 'Register to view this page' or 'Only registered users can view this page'... 

These forums restrict the unregistered users and only allow the registered users to view content of forum. But 'Google bot' can  visit these forums anytime without registration.

So in this trick we will make ours browser's agent into google bot agent, and can access all forums without registration :)

Now the question arises 'How to switch our browser's user agent into google bot agent?'

For answer follow the steps :

1. First of all download and install Firefox addon 'User Agent Switcher'.

2. Now restart your browser.

3. Now go to Tools > Default User agent > User agent switcher > Options....... as shown in screenshot.

4. Now in 'User agent switcher option' window...click on 'new'> 'new user agent' to add google bot's agent. 

5. Now add the following lines as shown in diagram and click on 'OK'

• crawl-66-249-66-1.googlebot.com
• Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html)

6. Now again go to Tools > Default User agent > and select crawl-66-249-66-1.googlebot.com.

7. Now you can browse any forum without registering there :)
