| Infections Control And Contamination Of Daily Use Objects
ECCMID Opening Press Conference. "Microorganisms are everywhere. Bacteria and fungi contaminate our body, our houses (i.e. bedrooms, kitchens, and toilets) but also workplaces, pets and the whole environment" - said Prof. Andreas Voss (Canisius-Wilhelmina Hospital, The Netherlands). Fortunately, among many billions of bacteria, only 1,500 can be dangerous for our health, causing different diseases such as pneumonia or skin infections. "The real problem is that the number of bacterial strains which develop resistances towards disinfectants and especially antibiotics is increasing very fast", pointed out Prof. Voss. "Some of these resistant microorganisms are difficult to destroy, and can survive for a longer time on the floor and other surfaces". "This is the reason why just five years ago it was absolutely rare to find resistant bacteria outside hospitals or nursing homes, while resistant bacterial strains are now spreading also to our houses and other places where people live, work or spend their free time together".

Remarkably cheap hotels have suddenly been appearing in Sana'a. These hotels are attracting a great turnout among Yemenis by providing television channels showing pornography. Despite any lack of service offered by these hotels, patrons are taking pleasure in renting squalid, soiled rooms and viewing X-rated films. Operating everyday of the week, these hotels welcome crowds of mostly young, budding men carrying qat bags, ready to watch skin flicks for hours on end. Guests are usually checked into their rooms between the hours of 4:00 am and 6:00 pm on account of the awaited programs being aired at that time. “The hotels providing these channels are located far from the center of the city," said Ahmed al-Borihi, Supervisor of BC Sana'a Hotel located on Taiz Street. He attributed the reason for the increase of such hotels to the pursuit of greed and wealth.

Gano iTouch: a success story
Despite negative perception of consumers on multilevel marketing, Gano iTouch Philippines Inc. managed to succeed and influence mainstream clients by keeping its core business focused on selling and promoting products instead of giving emphasis on the “get-rich-quick scheme" through expanded “downlines" or relationship referral. “We give our direct sellers constant training [on] products they represent [so they can] educate their customers… [on the] health benefits [of] Gano products…" said Kittkat Diestro, marketing director of Gano, during the company's rebrand launch at the Manila Peninsula Hotel in Makati City. Gano iTouch took over distributorship from Gano Excel Philippines Inc. last December. “A person who wants to be a member only need to pay P295, buy any product and will not be obliged to recruit," she added.
No reason to fear this Cujo
Walking by the dog dishes was just too hard, and Evangelist McKinney finally accepted she had to put them away. Two months had passed since Cujo, the Hanover Park family's long-haired Chihuahua, was stolen from their car while they were doing their weekly charity work on Chicago's South Side. Perhaps the daily reminders of Cujo weren't healthy for 8-year-old Electa, still prone to crying spells. Or Cujo's partner-in-crime, Michelle the pit bull, sluggish since the disappearance. "I prayed and tried to be strong for my daughter," McKinney said. "But people told me horror stories of little animals being used as bait in dog fights. I didn't know if we'd ever see him again." Then came that glorious call Tuesday. Police said they had tracked down the dognapper, who still had the healthy, if a little unkempt, Cujo.
