Part of my family lives in Italy and we may have a genetic trait, because many suffer from vitamin D deficiency even those young and "living outside". Old members have classic consequences: osteoporosis.

Totally agree. We have to be skeptical about "these methods" which, to me, seem more like PR myth they are trapped in. Like Buffett saying that: - he never set appointments (he works in isolation? he never goes to the doctor? He n

When crushing the numbers and speaking with relatives in Sweden and Switzerland, it is striking to see that most of the dead counts are in house structures for elderly. When going deeper, there are 2 parameters that seem to correlate with t

In many countries, utilities are not public companies but are obliged to offer a "universal service". When the service is considered as "universal", banning a customer is next to impossible. Today, electronic payment is

Actually, drama/soap opera is the part I am not a fan in scifi. I had pain watching Netflix's star trek and see the hero of the saga crying 10 minutes per episode... But I understand, it is here to target a broader audience.
