Why TIME Magazine Chose the Ebola Fighters as Person of the Year 2014 Ebola is a war, and a warning. The global health system is nowhere close to strong enough to keep us safe from infectious disease, and “us” means everyone, not just those in faraway places where this is one threat among many that claim lives every day. The rest of the world can sleep at night because a group of men and women are willing to stand and fight. For tireless acts of courage and mercy, for buying the world time to boost its defenses, for risking, for persisting,…

Happy Sunday, people! How is everybody doing? After a four day long weekend in Hungary I feel like I am in the process of really recovering. I know, I said that quite a few times in the past 6+ weeks, but this time it must be for real. I have so many plans for when I will be well enough to do things! I want to be able to do things and go to places again so bad! Well, at least I was still able to read, I hope you’ll check out these posts from last week. Why Banning Travel…
Hello Everybody, I hope you are having a great weekend! I don’t really have anything to add this time except for the posts. I hope you will check them out!

huffingtonpost: 5 Ways You Definitely Won’t Get Ebola Ebola has infected an estimated 7,470 people and claimed the lives of 3,431, mostly in West Africa. These numbers, as well as the death of Thomas Eric Duncan in Dallas, Texas on Wednesday, are a fearsome testament to how rapidly the virus can decimate a community. So find out in detail the five ways you won’t contract the virus. Hopefully you will not get ebola in any way ever, but I am all in for educating people instead of creating needless panic, that’s why I share this.

Happy Sunday Everybody! It feels like the last summery-ish weekend here in Hungary, so I am trying to take the best of it. How about you all? This week I read so much great posts that I could seriously feature all of them here. I don’t remember when was the last time when it was so hard to choose but a few. And, UN week a.k.a. the general debate of the 69th session of the UN General Assembly is approaching!

Hey, everybody! Other than the event-of-the-week NATO summit, the Ukrainian truce agreement was the other major news these past days. You will find that neither was covered by my favorite bloggers yet (well, bloggers need days off too…). I am planning to do a post about the NATO summit myself that I didn’t get around to edit yet, so I certainly get that. And just a quick service announcement: I should have announced it in a separate post, but I forgot (well after a near heart attack when I almost deleted the whole blog by accident… yeah, don’t ask…). So,…
Happy Sunday, everybody! This is a pre-scheduled post from Friday, so I hope nothing has happened during the weekend that could make it inappropriate. While you are reading I am probably somewhere out there trying to catch up with this summer I almost missed altogether. We are having an incredibly boring down time in my workplace recently (usual August in the public sector I guess), I am constantly joking that if I did not have all these writing and learning to do, I would probably have started looking for a new job already. But seriously. Summer is my favorite season,…
