The Eight Germsiest Public Places Excerpt from The List Maker's Get-Healthy Guide.
An average adult can touch as many as 30 objects within a minute, including germ-harboring, high-traffic surfaces such as light switches, doorknobs, phone receivers, and remote controls. At home, you do all that you can to keep the germs at bay. But what happens when you step out the door to go to dinner, do some grocery shopping, or visit the doctor's office? Know where germs are most likely to lurk, as you'll find out here.
The Eight Germsiest Public Places
1. Restaurant menus
Have you ever seen anyone wash off a menu? Probably not. A recent study in the Journal of Medical Virology reported that cold and flu viruses can survive for 18 hours on hard surfaces. If it's a popular restaurant, hundreds of people could be handling the menus and passing their germs on to you. Never let a menu touch your plate or silverware, and wash your hands after you place your order. Or use antibacterial wipes.
2. Lemon wedges
According to a 2007 study in the Journal of Environmental Health, nearly 70% of the lemon wedges perched on the rims of restaurant glasses contain disease-causing microbes. When the researchers ordered drinks at 21 different restaurants, they found 25 different microorganisms lingering on the 76 lemons that they secured, including E. coli and other fecal bacteria. Tell your server that you'd prefer your beverage sans fruit. Why risk it? Drinking lemon water instead of soda is a good weight loss strategy. But you don't have to ditch your diet just because you're eating out.
3. Condiment dispensers
It?s the rare eatery that regularly bleaches its condiment containers. And the reality is that many people don't wash their hands before eating, says Kelly Reynolds, PhD. So while you may be diligent, the guy who poured the ketchup before you may not have been, which means his germs are now on your fries. Squirt hand sanitizer on the outside of the condiment bottle or use a disinfectant wipe before you grab it. Holding the bottle with a napkin won't help; napkins are porous, so microorganisms can pass right through, Reynolds says.
4. Restroom door handles
Don?t think you can escape the restroom without touching the door handle? Palm a spare paper towel after you wash up and use it to grasp the handle. Yes, other patrons may think you're a germphobe, but you'll never see them again, and you're the one who won't get sick.
5. Soap dispensers
About 25% of public restroom dispensers are contaminated with fecal bacteria. Soap that harbors bacteria may seem ironic, but that's exactly what a recent study found. Most of these containers are never cleaned, so bacteria grow as the soap scum builds up, says Charles Gerba, PhD. And the bottoms are touched by dirty hands, so there's a continuous culture feeding millions of bacteria. Be sure to scrub hands thoroughly with plenty of hot water for 15 to 20 seconds and if you happen to have an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, use that, too.
6. Grocery carts
The handles of almost two-thirds of the shopping carts tested in a 2007 study at the University of Arizona were contaminated with fecal bacteria. In fact, the bacterial counts of the carts exceeded those of the average public restroom. Swab the handle with a disinfectant wipe before grabbing hold (stores are starting to provide them, so look around for a dispenser). And while you're wheeling around the supermarket, skip the free food samples, which are nothing more than communal hand-to-germ-to-mouth zones.
7. Airplane bathrooms
When Gerba tested for microbes in the bathrooms of commercial jets, he found surfaces from faucets to doorknobs to be contaminated with E. coli. It's not surprising, then, that you're 100 times more likely to catch a cold when you're airborne, according to a recent study in the Journal of Environmental Health Research. To protect yourself, try taking green tea supplements. In a 2007 study from the University of Florida, people who took a 450-milligram green tea supplement twice a day for 3 months had one-third fewer days of cold symptoms. The supplement brand used in the study was Immune Guard ($30 for 60 pills; immune-guard.us).
8. Doctor's office
A doctor's office is not the place to be if you're trying to avoid germs. These tips can help limit your exposure: 1. Take your own books and magazines (and kid's toys, if you have your children or grandchildren with you). 2. Also pack your own tissues and hand sanitizers, which should be at least 60% alcohol content. 3. In the waiting room, leave at least two chairs between you and the other patients to reduce your chances of picking up their bugs. Germ droplets from coughing and sneezing can travel about 3 feet before falling to the floor.

Web Marketing Models for Your Business
Web Marketing Models for Your Business
Author: Gary DaviesWeb Marketing came as a natural phenomenon that coincided with the popular use of the internet for various purposes that, until now, continues to evolve and traverse almost all, if not all, aspects of life.
International commerce and trade used to be a monopolised domain of the mighty multinational companies as it involved physical movement of products and equipment entailing trans-ocean set up or employment of administrative and operational human resources. It unambiguously required a lot of financial resources to implement such an enterprise.
Web Marketing effectively empowers even those with limited financial resources to do multinational business. There are e-commerce sites that cater even to one-time single-product selling for a small percentage of the proceeds. To protect its interests, such a site requires the seller to register or sign up with the site to insure business transaction integrity. The e-commerce site handles the transaction as its service offer including the changing of hands of both product and payment, ensuring collection of its percentage before the net proceeds are received by the seller.
The seller may also opt to create his own website, conducting web-based business in his own way, with his own products, parallel to the modus used by large-scale manufacturing corporations (which are mostly China-based). This model does not command optimum profits as there are still costs for inventory maintenance and management.
A growing optional model used by small-scale (or even micro-scale) entrepreneurs with a little knowledge of web development or has easy access to web development services is 'drop shipping'. This modus does not involve keeping inventory in stock but access the products from manufacturers or wholesalers instead. The reseller/retailer advertises or posts his products on his website or an e-commerce website, incorporating computation or projection of shipping costs to his retail price offer. He then takes orders from customers and in turn orders them in bulk from the manufacturer or wholesaler (for discounts) who 'drop ships' the product directly to the buyer or end-user without disclosing the shipper\'s or company address, effectively implying that the product was shipped by the reseller/retailer. This ensures optimum profits as there are almost no overhead costs.
Large corporations also use web marketing in many forms. The primary purpose for which it is used is similar to that of the small entrepreneur – maximising profits by minimising costs and speeding up the process of concluding business. One of the techniques used by companies is web social media. It effectively speeds up promotion and marketing of its products and services to the farthest reach the internet can. The rate and volume of business concluded through the facility are only limited by the web design concept and the capability, experience and skills of the personnel handling the web marketing arm.
