Do you remember when the leader of the Republican Party called the continent of Africa "shithole" counties during a meeting and asked why the USA can't have more immigrants from Norway, which by the way has now joined NATO? https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2019/01/shithole-countries…

While most human beings breathe in polluted air, it is taking away a couple of years from our global collective life expectancy.

Household combustion devices, motor vehicles, industrial facilities, and forest fires are common sources of air pollution.

Have you noticed athletes competing on TV with their decoration of cupping therapy skin marks all over their toned bodies?

These marks are making it much easier for the sports broadcaster to recognize the right swimmer in their lane. Funny enough, we thought those circles were another invention, to make swimmers swim faster.

Not so, cupping therapy is an ancient alternative medicine, increasingly popular amongst athletes. It helps to ease pain, muscle inflammation, blood issues, and relaxation.

World Bee Day is celebrated every year on May 20 because on this day Anton Janša, the pioneer of beekeeping, was born in 1734.

To learn about the importance of World Bee Day I decided to be with my well-behaved neighbors on City Island, New York.
