A less severe stage called osteopenia means that the bone density is already lower than normal and can develop into osteoporosis if nothing is changed.Osteoporosis is extremely common. More than 10 million adults in the United States have the condition, and approx…

But now we are one nation content creators…

It’s time for our first sweet harvests of the season – rhubarb is here and strawberries aren’t far behind. I get really excited when I see new seasonal products on the market and whether I have a plan or not, I buy them. So I ended up with four giant stalks of rhubarb in my fridge. I originally intended to make a crumble, but it didn’t happen. I had rhubarb sitting loose in my fridge, so I decided to turn this spicy, sour stalk, often found in the back lanes of Canada, into something sweet, smooth and delicious. Something you…

I wish I had someone sit me down when I first started in this industry to explain programming better. On the one hand, I guess it turned out to be a good thing, because I’ve written a million kajillion programs over the course of my career, and there’s really no better way to gain expertise in a subject than to actually do it.There is no choice but to become good at it.(I’ll save my obvious self-deprecation about not having girlfriends in high school here)That being said, it would have saved me a lot of time and I could second guess…
