THE REALITIES OF OLD AGE
The realities of old age Feeling sorry for future generations I was born in 1942 and I am fortunate in that although over 80 years old, the teeth I still have are my own and I need no “false” dentures, I use glasses for reading but my distance sight is still reasonable. I can still do my yoga stretches and follow these with 20 press ups every day, may be because I do this every day, I avoid the problems of cramp in leg muscles for most of the time. My spatial awareness and reaction times are reasonable. But I am old, even in modern times I am old and if I had lived this long a thousand years ago, I would have been a freak, something to be venerated simply because I was still alive. I am an engineer (electro-mechanical) by both nature and training but while I am interested in the latest engineering advances, I cannot pretend, even to myself, that I fully understand every aspect. I am from the Newtonian understanding of physics, even at school I was taught to always go back to basics, in order to follow, understand and predict the behaviour of material objects. We understood the cycles of water and carbon, We learnt the basic rules about matter and energy being transformed but never created or destroyed. We learnt to always consider “what happens next.” The marvels of quantum physics and quantum mechanics are concepts I did not have to use during my working life and so I do not have a grasp of the uses these are being put to now.

Is Going to a Restaurant Murder?: Unpacking the Harm of Social Events in the Covid Era
I am someone who has, for the most part, not stopped masking. I still predominantly use masks when going to the grocery store and public transit. I am a huge proponent of vaccinations (not just for Covid-19, but for influenza, monkeypox, and more). I have not returned to a pre-Covid normal either. My social life consists of small get-togethers, the occasional house party (with testing), and a monthly board game night I organize for a left-leaning organization. To me, these precautions should be treated as a necessary part of everyday life, but I recognize I am in the minority here.

Are women's pads safe? What should we pay attention to when buying sanitary napkins?
Environmental Sustainability In recent years, there has been a growing concern about the environmental impact of menstrual products. Traditional pads, made from plastic and other synthetic materials, can take hundreds of years to break down in landfills. Women's pads made from sustainable materials, such as organic cotton, are becoming more widely available, making it easier for women to make eco-friendly choices.
