‘Lyme disease ruined my life — I was misdiagnosed for years’
As a child, I was raised in the French countryside in the Dordogne. From around the age of five, I'd help local farmers by collecting eggs and herding cows in the fields. I was also naturally curious and adventurous and would go exploring in the bushes. I'd often end up covered in ticks and an old lady at the farm would put me in an iron bath and brush them off me. This is not the right way of removing them, which is to pull them out of the skin, as soon as possible, to prevent the transmission of disease. It should often be followed by a course of antibiotics.

Back to moon: US and China see fast-approaching finish line
Fee: his first term, President Donald Trump held a modest ceremony directing NASA to return humans to the moon for the first time in 5O years. It was a goalpost set without a road map. Veterans of the space community reflected on the 2017 document, conspicuously silent on budgets and timelines, equivocating between excitement and concern. Was Trump setting up a giveaway to special interests in the aerospace community? Or was he setting forth areal strategic vision for the coming decade, to secure American leadership in the heavens? It was areturn to aplan first proposed by President George W. Bush in 2004, then abandoned by President Barack Obama in 2010, asserting the moon as a vital part of American ambitions in space. Whether to return to the lunar surface at all — or skip it to focus on Mars — was a longstanding debate governing the division of resources at NASA, where every project is precious, holding extraordinary promise for the knowledge of mankind, yet requiring consistent, high-dollar funding commitments from a capricious Congress.

Banks to be affected by H-1B system overhaul
