Observation. This past weekend Bermuda experienced a “Foil Fest”. This was an event in which the America’s Cup catamarans put on a demonstration which consisted of a series of races on a course laid out so that spectators on land and on boats could w...

Kidney disease is both a cause and a consequence of heart disease, the number one global killer. Chronic kidney disease is common, affecting 9 per cent to 13 per cent of the general adult population, and these figures are on the rise. Cardiovascular...

Dear Dr Nekia, I’m confused by this same-sex union thing. What is the difference between a homosexual person and a transgender person? Isn’t a transgender person gay? And also what’s the difference between the sex someone was born and the gender that...
