 effectively perform CPR.
Although children will generally not suffer from cardiac arrest, a variety of other situations can arise that require caretakers to perform CPR on children. If you are a parent, a nanny, a babysitter, a daycare worker, or another person who spends a lot of time around young children, you absolutely need CPR training. First aid training would also be incredibly beneficial to this group of people.
More and more school districts are requiring that all school personnel are fully trained and certified in CPR and first aid. All school staff members, including teachers, administrators, bus drivers, coaches, and more, should be trained in CPR and first aid. School nurses are equipped to handle serious health issues, but immediate attention is often necessary with children, and all school personnel should be prepared to handle an emergency.
If you work in an office setting where people generally have very low activity levels, you should receive CPR training. While many occurrences of sudden cardiac arrest occur at home, a large number occur in office settings as well. Ask your boss about company-wide CPR training or consider getting a group of co-workers together to get trained and certified.
It should go without saying that absolutely everyone in the medical field should be certified in CPR. If your company wishes to participate in group training, or if you wish to send newly-hired individuals to be trained by themselves, Texas OnSite CPR has classes available.
As a way to improve the lives of all citizens, Texas is now requiring that high school students receive CPR training before they graduate from high school. Starting this year, the requirement will allow high school students to receive extensive training and certification in CPR, first aid, and more, making our future work force more prepared to handle medical emergencies and contribute more to the community.
Personal trainers, gym managers, and all staff members at gyms should be trained in CPR and first aid. Overexertion and misuse of equipment can often lead to cardiac arrest, shortness of breath, and injuries, so having staff members that are qualified to handle a variety of emergencies and common problems is vital to the success of any gym.
If you fall under one of these categories, you need to be certified in CPR. Even if you are not part of one of these groups, it is in your best interest and the best interest of those around to that you attain your CPR certification.

The World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) now has an office in Algeria.
Francis Gurry, director-general of WIPO, which has launched an African office.
The development comes three years after the 2016 WIPO Assemblies, where it was decided that WIPO would make inroads into Africa through the establishment of offices on the continent. Algeria was one of the countries to receive an endorsement from WIPO over such countries as Morocco, Tunisia and Kenya.
It is the body’s first external office on the continent and the sixth overall. Other sites with offices include Brazil, China, Japan, Russia and Singapore.
External offices, says WIPO, “are designed to promote access for member states and other stakeholders to the organisation’s intellectual property [IP] services that help innovators and creators protect and promote their products in export markets”.
The office is headed by Mohamed Saleck Ahmed Ethmane, who is designated as the WIPO Algeria office director. He assumed the office at the end of February when he was handed a set of keys by Kheireddine Medjoubi, secretary-general of his country’s Ministry of Industry and Mines.
Prior to the creation of the new office, WIPO already had several African countries – including Liberia, Kenya, Nigeria, Cameroon and Sierra Leone – as members, providing support, technical assistance and capacity building to national establishments located in those countries.
Such support was delivered primarily through WIPO’s regional bureau for Africa, which is mandated to develop “national IP strategies to cater to the needs and gaps in the areas of policy and legislative frameworks, institutional and technical infrastructure and human resource capacity building while at the same time leveraging the potential of IP in priority areas as defined in national development plans”.
As managed by Sery-Kore Marc, the bureau is also involved in “translating the notion of intellectual property for development into concrete, tangible results and benefits, through innovative, cross-cutting intellectual property based projects”.
With the new development, some of the functions and activities of the Africa bureau could be channeled through the external office in Algeria. WIPO is yet to publicly state the relationship between the existing bureau and its “first overseas representation on the African continent”.
Nonetheless, WIPO has said that its member states endorsed the creation of external offices to assist the global body in delivering its duties.
