The doorway of the glass palace was quite big enough for the horse and buggy to enter, so Zeb drove straight through it and the children
found themselves in a lofty hall that was very beautiful. The people at once followed and formed a circle around the sides of the spacious room....
"Come to us, oh, Gwig!" called the man, in a loud voice.
Instantly a cloud of smoke appeared and rolled over the floor; then it slowly spread and ascended into the dome, disclosing a strange
personage seated upon a glass throne just before Jim's nose. He was formed just as were the other inhabitants of this land and his clothing only
differed from theirs in being bright yellow. But he had no hair at all, and all over his bald head and face and upon the backs of his hands grew sharp
thorns like those found on the branches of rose-bushes.
(from Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz by L. Frank Baum)

The Truth About Antibacterial Soap

According to Discovery Fit & Health, about 75 percent of liquid soaps claim to be antibacterial. While this kind of soap sounds like a good idea, it is really not more effective than regular soap. Soap in general works by binding with dirt and grime and bacteria. This binding action allows the particles to be washed away easily. Antibacterial soap really does no more than regular soap. In fact, to be more effective than regular soap, antibacterial soap should stay on your skin for about two minutes to do what it claims it can do. Most people do not wash their hands that long. In addition, antibacterial soap may do harm. First it kills both beneficial and harmful bacteria. Second, scientists believe bacteria may become resistant to antibacterial agents over time, especially if they are not used correctly. Finally, antibacterial soap does nothing to viruses. Most of the time, we get sick from viruses, not bacteria. In sum, antibacterial soap does not live up to the hype. You are better off just using regular soap.
