Today has been a special day. Not because it’s my 34th Birthday which I never really celebrate (although I do appreciate all the greetings and warm words from all my friends and family!) but because I’ve had the pleasure to spend the day working with...

Últimas horas del 31 de Diciembre de 2014. Para millones de personas es un día de celebración. Aproximádamente el 75% de la población cambia de año cada primero de enero siguiendo el calendario gregoriano, aunque solo unos pocos podemos hacer una fiesta. Para muchos...
