Health Supplements you should be taking

Hello once again! Here is a list of supplements you should likely be taking. Note that this is not medical advice, and some supplements are tolerated better by some people than others due to health / genetic factors. Generally, taking excessive amounts of supplements do not increase benefits, so stick to reasonable dosages. There is some variation between male and female in terms of requirements, I'm more familiar with male physiology and supplementing. There are some supplements I will mention that are not OTC, or are special prescription, which I may or may not take myself, and are not freely available. These supplement types are generally more expensive and less accessible, but I will discuss them also. Ideally you would start supplementing in your mid to late 20's. Most people only discover vitamins/supplements later in life when they begin to feel run-down, and by that point a lot of 'damage' has already been done to your body, which is accelerated with life

Amazon Outage. 20th September 2015

According to The Register I.T. news site. Amazon has experienced a major service disruption today, which may be affecting Amazon Instant Video and Books websites, Netflix, Tinder, IMDb and potentially even Airbnb who are also an AWS customer.

This does bring up questions of demarcation / isolation of cloud-based services, and over-reliance upon parts of the cloud, and the inherent design, as these sorts of events have become more frequent over the years, with the ability to impact many business and ultimately end-users with real business consequences.

Cascading issues in certain areas, seem to have nasty, unforseen and unexpected flow-on effects.

None of these higher-level design concept issues are really isolated to Amazon, but Amazon being one of the biggest cloud-providers commercially, sometimes shows the strain quite publicly when events occur.
