The 17th of October is the International Day for the eradication of Poverty, a UN special day, one of many, actually but i just found it out by chance reading a small article on a local day. The day should be of strategic importance but it seems no one really cares. Maybe because there are too many "special" days celebrated all over the world? Find some background info about the day.

Find here an interesting audio story based on studies from Brigham Young University according to which Loneliness and social isolation are just as much a threat to longevity as obesity. The effect occurs even for people who like to be alone. Lack of relationships is a bigger health risk for people under age 65.
