First aid is the provision of initial care for an illness or injury. It is usually performed by non-expert, but trained personnel to a sick or injured person until definitive medical treatment can be accessed. Certain self-limiting illnesses or minor injuries may not require further medical care past the first aid intervention. It generally consists of a series of simple and in some cases, potentially life-saving techniques that an individual can be trained to perform with minimal equipment.
While first aid can also be performed on all animals, the term generally refers to care of human patients.
In international relations, aid (also known as international aid, overseas aid, or foreign aid) is a voluntary transfer of resources from one country to another, given at least partly with the objective of benefiting the recipient country. It may have other functions as well: it may be given as a signal of diplomatic approval, or to strengthen a military ally, to reward a government for behaviour desired by the donor, to extend the donor's cultural influence, to provide infrastructure needed by the donor for resource extraction from the recipient country, or to gain other kinds of commercial access.Humanitarianism and altruism are, nevertheless, significant motivations for the giving of aid.
Aid may be given by individuals, private organisations, or governments. Standards delimiting exactly the kinds of transfers that count as aid vary. For example, aid figures may or may not include transfers for military use: to cite one instance, the United States included military assistance in its aid figure until 1957 but no longer does. The most widely used measure of aid, "Official Development Assistance" (ODA) is such a figure. It is compiled by the Development Assistance Committee of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. The United Nations, the World Bank, and many scholars use the DAC's ODA figure as their main aid figure because it is easily available and reasonably consistently calculated over time and between countries. The DAC consists of 22 of the wealthiest Western industrialised countries plus the EU; it is a forum in which they coordinate their aid policies.

Plot: This dark psychological thriller draws us slowly but surely into Maria's strange world. Tension mounts as she is buffeted by interactions with her abusive husband, demanding father, and meek paramour. This housewife, who initially appears outwardly unassuming and unremarkable, is shown to possess an inner landscape of the mind which is twisted and scarred. Techniques of German Expressionist cinema gradually give us insight into her psyche. Why does she write letter after letter to herself, stashing them in a living room cabinet? Secret after secret is gradually revealed, until the chilling and disturbing conclusion.

clawing to trust someone monogamy sits uneasily ice that don't heat
freeze howl hollow howl in vast space all light displaced we can kill
desire albatross worn subvert to twist and old poem tick tick tick tick
tick altruistically we've come a long way man and woman raping from
the earth worming what it's worth right wing ricochet displays
the evolution of decay just go away infant hospital winged protection
infected the new born dreams a life that cannot be intuitive grease
paint drooling to relate all of lifes mistakes hitting in the face
orchard putrid smile head of state state headless states of being as
right up against what's wrong the disease believes to push away
normality alone with virtue what's there left to do a virus threads
poetry written time dogmatically lifes plague the first aid acquired
deficiency spreading it aimlessly have heart crash course caustic
dripping gins the reaper body count intensify getting weaker moisten
the soul away clouded and vague throw free love to history masters of
