Appropriate hand hygiene includes diligently cleaning and trimming fingernails, which may harbor dirt and germs and can contribute to the spread of some infections, such as pinworms.

Fingernails should be kept short, and the undersides should be cleaned frequently with soap and water. Because of their length, longer fingernails can harbor more dirt and bacteria than short nails, thus potentially contributing to the spread of infection.

Before clipping or grooming nails, all equipment (for example, nail clippers and files) should be properly cleaned. Sterilizing equipment before use is especially important when nail tools are shared among a number of people, as is common in commercial nail salons.

Infections of the fingernails or toenails are often characterized by swelling of the surrounding skin, pain in the surrounding area, or thickening of the nail. In some cases, these infections may be serious and need to be treated by a physician.

To help prevent the spread of germs and nail infections:

• Keep nails short and trim them often.
• Scrub the underside of nails with soap and water (or a nail brush) every time you wash your hands.
• Clean any nail grooming tools before use.
• Avoid biting or chewing nails.
• Avoid cutting cuticles, as they act as barriers to prevent infection.
• Never rip or bite a hangnail. Instead, clip it with a clean, sanitized nail trimmer.

Firstly, The two tornadoes that hit KwaZulu Natal on the separate occasions at New Hanover and Bergville. I believe there’s something need to be done to eliminate such bad weather conditions before our planet becomes inhabitable. Contributing factors to the global warming need to be analysed and discussed at a great length to come up with some solutions to climate change.

This also raises some questions if South African Weather Services do have some necessary technological infrastructure to detect such harsh weather conditions beforehand.

Warning about two tornadoes that hit KwaZulu Natal, in two days consecutively were not issued by the South African Weather Service.

Secondly, SAA cancelling it’s flights operations internationally and domestically because of the SAA employees that took to the street to demand 8% salary increase and to protest against retrenchment of 900 employees.

Huge gap between love partners can cause a disgruntle among certain people while others would say age is nothing but a number. When a gentleman make some advances to a lady in such a way that her heart is taken away, age curiosity becomes a subject matter that is discussed later on when the spark of love had been already stricken into a blaze.

When a shock comes about his age or her age, love would have started to build strong foundation of relationship and decide to live with it.

Some people find it rather awkward to fall in love with someone very younger or older than themselves because they believe when sun is setting, it should go down to both of them simultaneously.

Life is all about choices you make each an every day, some people are happily married to their lifetime partners having a colossal gap between them. When love takes over the hearts of two people, the rest becomes history and one less thing to worry about.

It is very important to notice that relationships with huge gaps tends to last more than smaller age gaps. This is resulting from the fact that when couples are sharing the same age, submission at each other is very rare when conflicts arising, one would justify being of the same age group, hence thinking method is one and the same.

If you’re one year older than him, he can’t couch you, he is anyway one year older than you. Therefore, when there’s no one wish to concede a defeat, scary decisions are attained to either divorcing one another or killings for that matter.

In love relationship there should be no seniors to usurp father or mother figure, all decisions are considered to be taken by both matured minds despite age gaps, but when conflict is ignited, both couples resolve an issue easily when one take into consideration that she is younger or he is older than me, between the lines furnace of anger subsides.

These are some visual signs that should be taken as a warning of an imminent tornado,

• A green or green-black sky
• A funnel-shaped cloud
• A low-lying, black cloud
• Swirling dust or debris, debris falling or being pulled upwards
• Hail, thunder or lightning
• Strange cloud behavior, such as clouds moving very fast, swirling or converging
• A sudden drop in temperature
• A sudden calm after wind, when the air becomes very still

Tornado witnesses often report that they “felt” it coming before the tornado formed. Tornadoes are associated with low air pressure, which the body can sense. If your body is telling you there’s danger, you would be wise to listen.

Although synonymous with tornadoes for most people, a funnel may or may not be visible. Not all tornadoes have a visible funnel. Funnels may be surrounded and hidden by dust or rain.

Tornadoes can, but do not always, make noise. The sounds made are described as whooshing roars, or something similar to a jet engine, freight train, or rushing water. Funnels can also make whining or buzzing sounds. The sound does not travel far, so if you can hear a tornado, it is very close. Seek shelter
