Issue 2

Greetings! Here are my second installment with this week's 5 picks. Hope you enjoy them!

Paper I'm reading 
This white paper from Havas Lynx, a leading global healthcare communications group, is an interesting take on the impact of the millennial healthcare professional on the healthcare industry. The intros are quite broad, but when it gets down to it, the focus is on how this new generation will impact the pharmaceutical industry, specially from a marketing perspective.
The info and white paper can be found here.

Book I have finished
De Vijand by Pieter Aspe, a Belgian writer of a series of detective stories starring inspector Pieter Van In. The title would translate to "The Enemy" but I haven't found the English version. It was my first Dutch book and it's a good start. A page-turner with simple enough dialogues. I strongly suggest this author for intermediary Dutch students. Interestingly, this book, published in 2010 , is about terrorists attacks by extreme Muslims in France and Belgium! Looks like it shouldn't have been such a surprised when attacks actually happened in 2015 and 2016.

App I've been using
WhiteNoise App features ambient sounds of the environment to help you relax during the day or sleep great at night. You can mix and download sounds and it has a timer. It's perfect to help you fall sleep or eliminate other noises while studying/working. I constantly use it with the timer to help me falling asleep.

TV Show I'm watching
Community has 6 seasons that ran from 2009 to 2015. I'm currently watching season 4 and I love it. The show follows a group of diverse students at a community college in the fictional town of Greendale. It makes heavy use of meta-humor and pop culture references, often parodying film and television clichés. S02E14 "Advanced Dungeons & Dragons" is rated 9.5 on IMDb and it was the first episode I watched - Excellent! The show features Ken Jeong (the Chinese from Hangover) and Chevy Chase.

Second hand vinyl I just bought
Foxtrot is the fourth studio album from Genesis, released in October 1972. It is one of the most important progressive rock album of all times. I was happy to find a copy in such a good shape. Highly recommended if you like progressive music and haven't checked this masterpiece that influenced so many bands.
