I successfully treated my eczema with Vitamin D. It did take several months to clear up, but now I can eat what I want with no risk of a flare-up. I took 5000IU daily. I still take it now, but only a couple of times a week. It doesn't

Hogmanay (New Year's Eve) falls just after the day with the latest sunrise. In the days before everyone had clocks and calendars, perhaps this was be easier to determine than the shortest day.

Ok, the other side of the debate is: education is provided by governments who want to protect people in power and their own interests, so pushes an education system that protects those in power (not saying I agree with this side of the deba

1) Before eating a snack in the evening, ask yourself "Am I tired, thirsty or hungry?" If you are tired, go to bed. If you are thirsty, drink some water. If you are hungry, eat a small amount (20g) of lean meat, cheese or nuts and

I am 52 years old and suffer from eczema, which is an auto-immune disease. I've been taking a daily 5000IU Vit-D supplement combined with vitamin K2 for a few years, and my eczema has completely cleared up. I live in Scotland, so I am

Same for me - I find the use of upper case keywords like this jarring in SQL. It seems quite old-school, like reading COBOL!

This is also a problem in the UK. When my children were young, it made little economic sense for my wife to continue working - practically all of her salary would have gone on childcare. If childcare was made tax-deductible, my wife could h

Europe hasn't avoided the dietary changes occurring in the US, it's just that the effect is less pronounced. European portion sizes are growing as well, but not to the very generous sizes I experienced in the US. There is less add

The US could also increase the price of petrol. This would encourage the use of more fuel-efficient cars. Most European cars are way more efficient than American cars. Admittedly, this is a cultural, not a technological, problem in the US.

I am sorry to hear of your loss - losing a cat is losing a member of your family. It is difficult to explain to others how much an animal means to your life. I have been far more distraught about a pet dying than human relations passing awa

I use a simple version of a TO-DO list. I have a email folder ACTION, and mails with a subject prefix of TODO are moved there with an auto-rule. My wife also adds reminders to the TODO list as required. This works well for me; I have weekly

I do agree wine-dark is a beautiful turn of phrase, but from what I gather the literal translation is "wine-faced" or "wine-eyed". Have considerable experience of being "wine-eyed", I can assure you my eyes are

I was surprised in this article that "wine-dark" is still being bandied about as a translation for οἶνοψ πόντος. According to a scholar I spoke with many years ago, a more reasonable translation would be gleaming or shimmering. Th

I did not imply the treatment had no benefit. I stated that one third got better, one third had no change, and one third got worse. This is not a good result - a third of the participants got worse. In addition, 13% of the participants on t

yeah, but it's just a social more of the programming community to describe social mores as idioms :-p Thoroughly agree with the crux of the argument, though. There is too much cargo cult science wih regards to programming practice. eg don't
