Health Matters - Dementia is one of the scariest diagnoses in medicine, in part because it seems impossible to prevent.
Dementia is one of the scariest diagnoses in medicine, in part because it seems impossible to prevent. But recent research suggests that's not the case. In fact, a new report based on an analysis of hundreds of studies says almost half of dementia cases could be prevented or delayed if people adopted certain habits. These are among the most effective.

As the Personal Check Disappears, What Comes Next? The check. A thousand years later, this form of payment is finally disappearing.
The newest type of payment –the first to be introduced in the U.S. since the 1970s– is called instant payments, in which money moves from your account to another immediately. You may think you already use instant payments with services like Venmo, but you don't. Those payments come from a Venmo account rather than directly from your bank account, and the funds can take some time to move.

An Audacious New Read of The Decameron - The author Rivka Galchen sums up this reading in her Decameron Project introduction: "Reading stories in difficult times is a way to understand those times, and also a way to persevere through them."
Boccaccio's masterpiece follows 10 young nobles fleeing an outbreak in Florence that would ultimately reduce the city's population by half. To pass the time in their rural idyll, they tell the stories that make up the bulk of the book-one apiece for 10 days, hence the title. The consensus interpretation of The Decameron is that it illustrates the power of storytelling to buoy us through history's horrors. The author Rivka Galchen sums up this reading in her Decameron Project introduction: "Reading stories in difficult times is a way to understand those times, and also a way to persevere through them." Kathleen Jordan, the creator of Netflix's The Decameron, came away from her pandemic-era reading of Boccaccio with a different understanding. What if, her black comedy proposes, the book's true timeless message is that whether they're Florentine aristocrats in 1348 or Manhattan financiers in 2020, the privileged will always blithely abandon their less fortunate neighbors when the plague comes to town? Jordan has stripped The Decameron of its stories, choosing instead to riff on the frame narrative.
