LIQUID and ELECTRONICS!    
Eventually it may happen to you, water on electronics.  The first step is to remove all electricity immediately.  For a laptop, remove the power cord and the battery.  Turn the keyboard upside down asap.  I would use a gentle amount of air across the keyboard - highly compressed air may force it deeper into the circuitry.  Let it dry for several days before re-applying power.   According to the Techs, this will solve most of the issues.  Desktop keyboards are somewhat easier when wet.  Disconnect it immediately, take it out side and hang it upside down on the cloths line.  One high end tech actually runs his desktop keyboards through the dish washer (minus the heat drying cycle) and hangs them on the line for 3 days.  (The average office computer keyboard has over 3000 bacteria.)
     Cell phones are all too frequently dropped into water.  Fish it out, remove the battery (better figure that out before the emergency starts).  Let it dry for several days as well.  There are strips on the battery that will change color if the phone is immersed in water.  Those are placed there by the manufacturer to keep us honest.  By the way, if your smart phone locks up or begins to work erratically, remove the battery for a minute and re-install.  That works as a "hard reboot".
     Last Tuesday Microsoft release a dozen security updates.  Look in the lower right hand side of your screen to see if they are ready for install.
     Take another look at your photo's and documents, you hard drive could die today.  Did you backup???

EAST CAPE HEALTH CENTER SEMINAR  TODAY - PALMAS de CORTEZ 2:30PM
       TO PROVIDE THE BEST EMERGENCY SERVICES, MEDICAL CARE AND
       INSURANCE DECISIONS, WE ARE BEGINNING A SERIES OF
       HEALTH RELATED SEMINARS

     Questions that we are continually asked are “What do I do if a health crisis occurs? How
is critical care handled here in the East Cape? Who do I trust with my routine health care?
Where is the best medical facility for my income level and my insurance?”
     As part of our continuing educational series, our guest speaker this month will be
Dr. Rafael Moguel, a noted cardiologist and Director of Clinics of the Heart. Dr. Moguel
will speak on cardiology care and a new, breakthrough treatment of Multiple Sclerosis.
     Additionally, Rudy Deutschmann, a representative of American Insurance in Mexico,
will be available to answer your questions and address your needs concerning insurance
in Mexico and costs for emergency care coverage.
     To learn more about cardiac emergencies and what steps to take if an event occurs we
welcome you to our first seminar. It is important that we support the efforts of these
doctors who are taking their time to educate us.

     The seminar is free and refreshments will be provided.
