I am using Yahoo! Mail as my primary e-mail address provider because of its user-friendly interface. But ever since, I’ve already have a problem with its inefficient spam filter. I’ve blocked quite a number of spam e-mail addresses, but spam messages from these addresses still make their way to my inbox. I have tried numerous ways to prevent and block spam to my inbox but to no avail.
For long years, I’ve relied on the Bulk Mail folder feature as my spam guard since it automatically confines those identified spams. I thought that clicking the “empty” link beside the Bulk Main folder link was the best way to get rid of spam. Checking the settings of my Yahoo! Mail account, which I didn’t expect to help me in battling with spam, never crossed my mind. Luckily, I bothered checking the settings the other day, and there, I found the solution to my problem.

Hand washing is undoubtedly the best way to prevent spread of infectious diseases. Soap manufacturers always come up with innovative products that “enhance” this preventive techniques. We see ads on TV about how effectively hand sanitizers and antibacterial soaps prevent germs which almost always convince the consumers. Recent studies however say that washing hands with ordinary soap and water for 15 seconds reduces bacterial counts by about 90%. But even people who are conscientious about washing their hands often make the mistake of not drying them properly. Wet hands are more likely to spread germs than dry ones. Harvard Health Letter
Soap manufacturers found a good way to convince consumer more in buying their products through antibacterials additives. But experts fear that antibiotic resistance, which is now one of the major health concerns, might result from use of these antibacterial soaps.

I feel lucky that I chose to enroll in a school, which gives emphasis on the health of the less fortunate fellowmen, with its community-based curriculum. During the 2nd semester of our freshmen year, we were assigned to 2-3 families per student in the community. At the first meetings, some of the families were resistant as expected. Some families were even locking up when they saw us approaching. We had experienced being chased by drug addicts. One classmate has witnessed a stabbing incident. Yeah, that’s how terrifying our experiences in our community were. It really felt like “survival of the fittestâ€. Despite these untoward circumstances, we are surviving community medicine.
1. We go to the community in groups or in pairs. This is especially for girls for security purposes.
2. We smile at and greet everyone in the community. This was our topmost strategy to gain the acceptance of the residents.

Did you know that refrigerating hot leftovers, immediately, instead of cooling it first at room temperature, is the best way to avoid spoilage and invasion of bacteria, in contrast to what previously claimed?
It was always thought that leftovers, especially the hot ones, should be cooled at room temperature before storing it in the refrigerator. Accordingly, allowing food to cool at a slower rate reduces the likelihood that it will spoil. Another theory suggests that hot food can somehow interfere with the circulation of cold air in the refrigerator.
But according to the Food and Drug Administration (as reported by NYTimes), leftover food (particularly meat) should be refrigerated immediately after serving, and certainly within two hours of cooking.
