    There is nothing more exciting for children then when the weather gets colder, which means the holiday season (and time off from school) is basically here. But for parents, the colder weather means a lot more than just that — it means the start (and height) of flu season. Year after year doctors say getting the flu shot is vital for any parent and their child, and rates of the flu among the vaccinated support that medical advice. But the flu shot is especially vital now ..

    Aramark, one of the country’s largest employers, providing food and other vendor services to Chicago’s Soldier Field and numerous schools, corporate headquarters, hospitals, prisons and other institutional facilities in Illinois, has become one of the latest targets among a growing number of lawsuits under an Illinois privacy law, accusing employers of not properly handling the process of scanning and managing their employees’ fingerprints to log employees’ work hours.


    On Nov. 7, attorneys with the firm of Werman Salas P.C., of Chicago, filed suit in Cook County Circuit Court against Aramark on behalf of named plaintiff Joseph Cintron, seeking to also expand the lawsuit to include a class of at least 500 workers, if not more, who also have worked for Aramark in Illinois since 2014.

    THURSDAY, Nov. 2, 2017 (HealthDay News) -- Hospitals are jumping on a tech trend, enlisting the help of germ-killing robots to tackle a potentially life-threatening but preventable issue: health care-associated infections.


    For instance, Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville will begin deploying robots this month to protect hospitalized patients from harmful germs, including MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and VRE (vancomycin-resistant enterococci).

    The medical center's first inpatient area to utilize the germ-killing robots will be the Vanderbilt Regional Burn Center. After patients are sent home, their rooms will be cleaned with the usual liquid disinfectants and then a robot will be wheeled into the room to perform additional cleaning.

    Baking soda is like magic. There, we said it. This common little compound is cheap, readily available, and often more effective at getting things clean than pricey, chemical-laced, specialty cleaning products.

    You probably already have a box of baking soda sitting around that you use for baking. Maybe you even figured out that a box of baking soda in the fridge helps to absorb odors. But did you know that baking soda can also help you clean your entire house.

    Don’t let the macabre name fool you – death-cleaning is intended to be an uplifting experience. The Swedish concept has come to the forefront due to a new book by Swedish-born writer Margareta Magnusson. The writer, who describes herself as between 80 and 100 years old, had to downsize her home after the death of her husband, deciding what things to keep and what to get rid of. Death-cleaning doesn’t actually refer to cleaning up after a death of a loved one, but rather cleaning away your own clutter to make things easier for other people after your own demise.

    She also explains that it isn’t a sad process, but instead brings relief. It’s also not about getting rid of everything you own before you die – you can still keep things you want.
