By Joseph MazurTerrorism comes in many diverse forms, from aims of a revolution, to fights for independence, to revenge. “Revenge for what?” we might ask.

By Joseph Mazur The only way wars end is either by mutual agreement or by overwhelming death and destruction. We no longer live in an age of tribal isolation. Our global connections call for skilled leaders to get us through years of wars that have ultimately become mutual agreements of how much death and destruction is affordable. The countless challenging problems we face can be solved only by alliances and partnerships in recognition of conflicting governmental systems.

Aa Aa Aa - A + Three years ago, I published a blog post saying, “Today, there are calls for keeping Daylight Saving Time throughout the year.” Much of that opinion came from worries that tinkering with time has detrimental effects on the body because it confuses the body clock's sensitivity to daylight and melatonin secretions. It does confuse the pineal gland but not enough to destabilize the mind or body.

Withdrawal and isolation could avoid foreign affairs and wars, but the costs will be far higher in the long run. Since the end of the Second World War, NATO has been a cornerstone of global security that few have questioned. Now, however, with a second term for the NATO-sceptic Donald Trump a real possibility, it is appropriate to consider what the consequences of a US withdrawal from the alliance could be.

It is hard to track what we should believe regarding public health recommendations. We were once told that vitamins C and E and beta-carotene antioxidants diminish our chances of heart disease and that eating more fiber prevents colon cancer. We were once told to have a low-roughage diet, and then just a few decades later told to eat plenty of roughage. I recall times when health newsletters told me to limit the number of eggs in my diet.
