My name is Thomas Wikman. I am a software/robotics engineer with a background in physics. I am currently retired. I took early retirement. I am a dog lover, and especially a Leonberger lover, a home brewer, craft beer enthusiast, I’m learning French, and I am an avid reader. I live in Dallas, Texas, but I am originally from Sweden. I am married to Claudia, and we have three children. I have two blogs. The first feature the crazy adventures of our Leonberger Le Bronco von der Löwenhöhle as well as information on Leonbergers. The second blog, superfactful, feature information and facts I think are very interesting. With this blog I would like to create a list of facts that are accepted as true among the experts of the field and yet disputed amongst the public or highly surprising. These facts are special and in lieu of a better word I call them super-facts. View all posts by thomasstigwikman

Thank you so much Ritva. Some things are bad but many things are getting better, with some bumps along the way.

I was very encouraged by the statistics you shared- but that little Debbie Downer voice in my head keeps asking how all the cuts this administration made to global aid will affect these numbers.

Yes you are right Violet. If you look at the purple and brown graph at the top you see both a tremendous improvement as well as some bumps, and it seems like we’ve hit a recent bump that is outside these graphs. Perhaps you are right about whose fault it is.
