                                COVID-19 has severely impacted businesses across the globe. But one thing has become clear: it has accelerated digital transformation, which should change all our lives for the better. This was the message from the Orange Business Services European Digital Transformation Forum (EDTF) . As millions get used to the new normal of lockdown life, our digital lives may never be the same again. From video conference calls with family, watching as kids learn via online education to streaming online workouts, lots of things have changed — and post-pandemic, some of these habits are likely to stick. “We just assumed that certain services in our society and our economy were provided in-person and required co-location. And I think those assumptions are now radically being challenged,” according to Carsten Wierwille, CEO of digital product developer Ustwo, who spoke to CNBC by phone. People can expect better service from business

Juptier and Saturn are Conjoining to create a Once-in-a-Lifetime Phenomenon TODAY! https://youtu.be/M028fZWm3lQ -WATCH IT LIVE ONLINE ON YOUTUBE! The December 21, 2020 great conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn is highly conspicuous in the west after sunset each evening now. On December 21, the pair will be only 0.1 degree apart. Some say the pair will look like an elongated star on that date. Will they? Or will they look like a double planet? Now, here’s why these great Jupiter/Saturn conjunctions happen every 20 years. Each year, Saturn completes about 12 degrees of its orbit around the sun, whereas Jupiter completes about 30 degrees. Therefore, in one year, Jupiter closes the gap between itself and Saturn by about 18 degrees (30 – 12 = 18 degrees). In a period of 20 years, then, Jupiter gains 360 degrees on Saturn (18 x 20 = 360 degrees), therefore lapping the ringed planet once every 20 years. Skygazers should be ready for the last and most prominent celestial event of the year 2020 a

  Long-Sought Blood Test for Alzheimer’s on its Way! Scientists said Monday they had developed a way of predicting if patients will develop Alzheimer's disease by analysing their blood, in what experts hailed as a potential " game-changer " in the fight against the debilitating condition. Scientists say such tests could be available in a few years, speeding research for treatments and providing a diagnosis for dementia patients who want to know if they have Alzheimer’s disease. Around 50 million people live with Alzheimer's, a degenerative brain disease that accounts for more than half of global dementia cases. While its precise mechanism is not fully understood, Alzheimer's appears to result from the accumulation of proteins in the brain that are thought to lead to the death of neurons. Some of these proteins are traceable in the blood of patients and tests based on their concentrations can be used to diagnose the disease. A company has started selling the first
