Cloud outages have disrupted air travel, email, hospital services, and day-to-day website use around the world.
Part of the problem: Much of the internet now runs on just a few major providers. So, when one has problems, thousands of organizations can be affected at once.

Stoics think about worst case scenarios (premeditatio malorum), here’s why:
- Setbacks are a fact of life
- The unexpected blows fall heaviest
- It’s impossible to prevent something you’re unaware of
- Because we prepared, we see an opportunity where others see an obstacle

People won’t remember the labels you wore, the size of your home, the numbers in your account
They’ll remember how you made them feel, the love you showed and the gentleness you brought to their lives
Real wealth is written in the hearts you touched

“We are now at the beginning of an age where we will have more information than we can possibly process. But let me remind you: Information is not knowledge. Knowledge is not wisdom. And wisdom is not foresight. Each grows out of the other, and we need them all. Before you become too entranced with gorgeous gadgets, remember that the goal is not to have more information, but to have more understanding.” — Arthur C. Clarke

Infographic titled “The basics of healthy diets” by the World Health Organization. It explains that healthy diets vary in foods and flavours but share four principles: adequacy, balance, moderation, and diversity. The graphic shows recommended daily energy intake: protein 10–15% from plant or animal sources; fats 15–30%, focusing on unsaturated fats from fish, avocado, nuts, and vegetable oils; carbohydrates 45–75%, from whole grains, pulses, fruits and vegetables (minimum 400 g/day), and dietary fibre (minimum 25 g/day). A note highlights that fruits and vegetables add fibre and micronutrients to your diet. It also advises limiting unhealthy fats (saturated fats <10%, trans fats <1% of daily energy intake), free sugars (<10% of daily energy intake, about 50 g or 12 teaspoons), and salt (<5 g/day, about 1 teaspoon).
#HealthyDiets have different foods & flavours, but share the same principles: adequacy, balance, moderation & diversity. Eat a variety of minimally processed & unprocessed foods to ensure you get enough essential micronutrients while reducing unhealthy fats, sugars & salt.
