President Obama urged West Africans in areas affected by the Ebola virus not to touch the corpses of loved ones who had succumbed to the deadly disease in a public service announcement released by the State Department on Tuesday.
"When burying someone who has died from this terrible disease, it's important to not directly touch their body," Obama says. "You can respect your traditions and honor your loved ones without risking the lives of the living."

The easiest way to get ketchup out is to hold the bottle downward at a 45 degree angle and insert your knife into the bottle allowing air to flow in and breaking the vacuum created by the thick ketchup
