The Social Media Effect in Egypt
The internet has allowed us to engage in a situation that normally we would not have thought twice about. The people effected directly to the situation have been giving a chance to let the world know their voice and possibly keep them informed of a problem they feel very strong about.
did "YOU" know???

Cleaning Out Your Outdated Medicines
As I wake up in the morning, feeling the aftermath of my neighbor’s loud party, I slowly move towards the medicine cabinet in search for a bottle of Tylenol. As I go to open the bottle filled with medicine I notice that the bottle is outdated and I think to myself, "Should I take this outdated medicine?" Is it really possible to use outdated medicines? Yeah, I think so, but don't expect it to be as effective as it once was during the time frame before the date. All medical prescriptions give an expiration date, and most labels have discard dates so the disposal of outdated material such as medicines should be fairly simple. According to the Smart Disposal campaign.....
- Start by pouring medication into a sealable plastic bag. If the medication is a solid (pill, liquid capsule, etc.), crush it or add water to dissolve it.
- Add kitty litter, sawdust, coffee grounds (or any material that mixes with the medication and makes it less appealing for pets and children to eat) to the plastic bag.
- Seal the plastic bag and put it in the trash.
- Remove and destroy all identifying personal information (prescription label) from all medication containers before recycling them or throwing them away.
Most importantly just keep up with the dates on the medicines and DON'T wait till you need them to discover there outdated.
