Health Tips - Wash Your Hands

Hand washing is an easy way to prevent infection. It limits the transfer of bacteria, viruses and other microbes. As you touch people, surfaces and objects throughout the day, you accumulate germs on your hands. In turn, you can infect yourself with these germs by touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Clean hands can stop germs from spreading from one person to another and throughout an entire community.

Note that removal of germs from the skin requires the use of water and soap or detergent. Be sure to scrub the back of your hands, between your fingers, and under your nails for at least 20 seconds.

Making Sound Financial Decisions...(Part 1) by Dr. Strive Masiyiwa

One of my favourite TV programs, is Global Public Square (GPS), on CNN, anchored by Fareed Zacharia. The other day, he spent some time, talking about a subject that is very close to my heart:

"Financial Literacy".

There is more to literacy, than "reading" and "writing". Financial literacy, is really about the ability to understand everyday financial issues, and here I am not talking about accounting practice. I am talking about the ability to make sound financial decisions. There are many people, who know how to read and write, very well, and yet are at "sixes and sevens", when confronted with simple financial issues.
