VITAMIN C | The Cold Hard Truth - To Supplement or Not to Supplement?
There is absolutely no cure for the common cold. As winter fast approaches, millions of people will be taking vitamin C supplements in an attempt to avoid catching a cold. Vitamin C has been studied for many years as a way to help prevent colds. But the truth is that supplements will not reduce your risk of catching a cold.
Some studies suggested that it may speed up your recovery. Others found it to be no more effective than placebo at shortening the duration of cold symptoms. That said, true vitamin C (ascorbic acid) deficiency is now very rare, as most people get enough of it from food.
Dawa (non-alcoholic) is one of the most popular hot drinks in Kenya. It literally means 'medicine' in Swahili, and is often considered a magic potion. Most Kenyans swear by Dawa's ability to soothe coughs and colds.
Dawa is classically made from lemons (vitamin C), ginger (antiseptic) and honey (decongestant, sweetener).
In spite of the paucity of supportive clinical evidence, most people feel much better after taking Dawa. The placebo effect can explain this. People who think they are doing something effective can report a favourable result, even when none exists.
Ascorbic acid is known to support the immune system and it's rapidly depleted during an infection. We know that glucose and vitamin C are structured very similarly, and they compete for entry into cells. We also know that too much glucose inhibits the transport of ascorbic acid into cells.
In light of this competition, it follows that the higher your dietary carbohydrate (glucose) intake, the higher your vitamin C requirements.
Broccoli, kale, oranges, and lemons contain lots of vitamin C in its natural form. Liver is another less-well recognised sources of vitamin C. While the jury is still out, increasing intake of these foods during a cold may not be such a bad idea. This, in my opinion, may be better for your body and easier on your pocket, than any artificial supplement.
We mainly think of fruit as being high in vitamin C. 100g of broccoli contains approximately 90mg of vitamin C, whereas 100g of apples contains only 5mg. The vitamin C content of broccoli is 18 times that of an apple. Eating more green, leafy or cruciferous vegetables will provide you with many of the vitamins and minerals you would get from fruits –with little to no sugar. Consider this the next time you seek a health boost from juicing fruit.
The richest food sources of vitamin C include kale, kiwi fruit, bell peppers, citrus fruits, and strawberries.
Zinc supplements are similarly popular. This study (meta-analysis) concluded that that zinc lozenges reduced the duration of a cold by only one day. Quite often, statistical significance does not translate all that impressively to clinical significance. I would still prefer my clients to take zinc in its natural form – from food. Incidentally, a single serving of oysters contains 5 times (74mg) the zinc in seven lozenges (14mg).
Add vitamin C-rich foods to meals to enhance iron absorption.
All cooking methods reduce the concentration of vitamins and minerals in our food, to a greater or lesser extent. But before we start eating raw broccoli, we must understand that cooking also improves digestion and increases nutrition in many foods. Microwaving and steaming vegetables seem to be the best cooking methods to retain and much goodness as possible. All vegetables should be eaten with some fat, to optimise the absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins, A, D, E, and K.

Team Anthony Nolan heads to the Transplant Games
Blood cancer charity Anthony Nolan and its team of 14 people who received a lifesaving stem cell transplant are heading to North Lanarkshire for the British Transplant Games.
The British Transplant Games is an annual event, this year being held from Thursday 27 July – Sunday 30 July in North Lanarkshire, in which people who have received lifesaving organ or stem cell transplants take part in a series of Olympic-style events.
A stranger saved my life...then asked me to be his best man
A selfless hero asked the stranger whose life he saved to be best man at his wedding after the two struck up an unlikely friendship.
Paul Rogers, 51, donated his stem cells to Brett Dingwall, 67, just over ten years ago, after the latter was diagnosed with life-threatening acute myeloid leukaemia (AML).
Best man Brett joined Paul and his wife Laura as they were married at St Paul's Walden in Hertfordshire on 13 May.
Charity thanks globetrotting volunteer who's helped save more than 300 people
A dedicated Banstead volunteer who has made over 300 trips delivering stem cells across the world has retired from the role on her 75th birthday.
Courageous Hazel the face of new charity campaign after recovering from two stem cell transplants
A three-year-old from Albury, Hertfordshire, has become the face of a new campaign from blood cancer charity Anthony Nolan – after battling back to health after two stem cell transplants.
In October 2015 Hazel was diagnosed with Juvenile Myelomonocytic Leukaemia (JMML), a very rare, acute form of leukaemia. Hazel's only chance of a cure was a stem cell transplant which involved eradicating Hazel's diseased cells with chemotherapy and replacing them with cells from a stranger, found by Anthony Nolan.
Anthony Nolan Supporter Awards 2017 – open for entries
The Anthony Nolan Supporter Awards, which celebrates the contribution of Anthony Nolan's supporters which makes the blood cancer charity's lifesaving work possible, opens for entries today (Wednesday 7 June).
The event, in its fifth year, has seen more than 150 awards presented to deserving fundraisers, families of patients, donors, clinical supporters and journalists, all of whom have supported Anthony Nolan in a number of ways.
Simon Dyson steps down as Anthony Nolan Chair
After 30 years with the charity, Simon Dyson MBE has decided to step down as Chairman of Anthony Nolan.
Although Simon's departure is sad for all of us at Anthony Nolan, he is leaving behind a strong and successful organisation with a bright future.
Since Simon first became involved in Anthony Nolan's work in 1986, the organisation has gone from strength to strength, building not only the leading stem cell register in the world but also the UK's largest blood cancer charity.
Try Tag Rugby donates £1,389 to Anthony Nolan
Following Corporate Challenge London and Corporate Challenge Yorkshire, Try Tag Rugby was pleased to donate a total of £1,389 to leading blood cancer charity Anthony Nolan.
Anthony Nolan matches incredible volunteers willing to donate their blood stem cells or bone marrow to people with blood cancer who desperately need a lifesaving transplant.
Anthony Nolan were the chosen charity for Corporate Challenge London and were also one of two chosen charities of Corporate Challenge Yorkshire.
Research promises new hope for stem cell transplant patients
New research from leading charity Anthony Nolan could pave the way for a change in how stem cell donors are selected and save the lives of more people with blood cancer and blood disorders.
The Anthony Nolan Research Institute (ANRI) has carried out the largest UK study into the factors that can make a stem cell transplant more successful.
Spit Happens: Loughborough University partners with key charities to increase number of stem cell donors
Loughborough University, Loughborough Students' Union, Anthony Nolan and the Rik Basra Leukaemia Campaign (RBLC) are joining forces to try and increase the number of potential stem cell donors.
Since 1974, the Anthony Nolan register has made 15,000 stem cell transplants possible but it's still the case that only 60% of individuals in need of a transplant find the best possible life-saving match they need; this figure drops dramatically to just 20% if you are from a black, Asian or ethnic minority background.
NHS England confirms it will routinely fund second transplants
In response to today's announcement (Friday 24 February) by NHS England that it will routinely fund second stem cell transplants, Henny Braund, Chief Executive of Anthony Nolan says:
"We're delighted with today's announcement, which shows the voices of thousands of people, including patients, their families and their doctors, have been heard.

B. Braun becomes new naming rights partner for Sheffield Sharks
Dave Bell
Leading healthcare firm B. Braun Medical Ltd has been unveiled as the new naming rights partner for the Sheffield Sharks.
The three-year deal will see the British Basketball League (BBL) club become known as the B. Braun Sheffield Sharks from the start of next season.
It builds on a decade-long partnership and collaboration between the Sharks and main supporter, B. Braun Medical Ltd, which has been the club's vest sponsor since 2008. The company has also previously sponsored the Junior Sharks, Sharks Physio and currently runs a number of joint community health and wellbeing projects with the Sharks.
B. Braun are particularly excited that The B. Healthy – B. Braun programme will be strengthened during the next three years, the initiative aims to improve the health and wellbeing of children across South Yorkshire. B. Braun together with the Sheffield Sharks visit schools to educate young people about the importance of good nutrition and being active, with pupils offered professional tuition in either dance or basketball as part of the scheme.
B. Braun Medical Ltd, which has its headquarters at Thorncliffe Park, in Sheffield, is one of the world's leading providers and manufacturers of healthcare solutions. Its growing portfolio of effective medical care solutions make a substantial contribution towards protecting and improving people's health, including its global programme 'B.

It looks like natural will always be on trend. Pet owners are still seeking natural foods, and they want more variations of these foods for their dogs and cats. Consumers are demanding different features, everything from grain-free to Made in the USA to raw, and manufacturers are responding with more flavors and presentations to satisfy these health-minded shoppers.
Cooper says Redbarn has been following the trend of increased humanization in the pet industry, while also listening to consumer feedback. Understanding that pet owners want Made in the USA, natural and grain-free options, in 2015 the company launched two lines—All-Natural, Grain-Free Canned Patès and Stews. The foods contain added functional ingredients to support common canine health issues such as immune support, weight control, and skin and joint health. The Patè line has six formulas and protein choices: Beef, Chicken, Lamb, Ocean Fish, Duck, and Turkey. The Canned Stews are available in five recipes: Beef, Chicken, Lamb, Turkey and Steak and Egg.
Earlier this year the Tewksbury, Ma.-based WellPet launched the Wellness Complete Health Grain Free dry food line for dogs, and is adding three recipes to the line: Puppy Chicken, Chicken Meal & Salmon Meal Recipe, Small Breed Deboned Turkey & Chicken Meal Recipe, and Large Breed Deboned Chicken and Chicken Meal Recipe. Each of these grain-free dry dog food recipes are designed to help support what the company refers to as the five "Signs of Wellness," which are visible indicators that the pet is at their healthiest—healthy energy levels, soft skin and coat, healthy digestion, strong immune system, and healthy eyes, teeth and gums.
The company is also adding more grain-free options to its Holistic Select dry dog recipes, including Holistic Select Grain Free Adult Health Large & Giant Breed, and Holistic Select Grain Free Puppy Health. For cats, the company is expanding the line of Wellness Kittles cat treats by adding Kittles Duck & Cranberries, Whitefish & Cranberries, and Turkey & Cranberries options to the existing Chicken & Cranberries, Tuna & Cranberries, and Salmon & Cranberries recipes. Kittles are made with healthy, natural ingredients and have less than two calories per treat.
Kuris-Morgan notes that the vitamins and minerals in Frenchie's Kitchen's fresh cooked, frozen food for dogs come from ingredients such as carrots, which are an excellent source of vitamins A and C, calcium, potassium, fiber and carotene; green beans, a source of dietary fiber loaded with vitamins and minerals; and spinach, a rich source of iron and extremely rich in antioxidants and other vitamins.
"There is a reason behind each ingredient included in our recipes," she says. "Our ingredient deck is clean and simple, easy to understand. There isn't anything on the ingredient panel that you cannot pronounce and we are very proud of that." The entrees are hand packed in small batches in a USDA human-food facility.
Pets are living longer lives, and it is important for them to maintain a high quality of life, says James Chen, brand manager for AvoDerm pet food. With that in mind the Irwindale, Calif.-based AvoDerm, a brand of Central Garden & Pet Company, created the Health Solutions line for dogs. AvoDerm Joint Health formula has high levels of naturally sourced glucosamine and chondroitin available to help dogs maintain healthy joints throughout their lives. AvoDerm Senior Health+ formula has a special blend of natural ingredients to help aging dogs maintain healthy joints, healthy eyes and brains, a healthy immune system, and like all AvoDerm products, healthy skin and coat.
Chen says the category is still seeing innovation. "The natural pet food category is constantly evolving, but grain free is by far the most important feature consumers are looking for," he says. "It's also important to have quality, animal protein as the first ingredient and have no fillers." He predicts there will be continued innovation on proteins, in their source of origin, form and variety, and more products catering to smaller dogs and cats.
More grain-free options are also available from Canidae Pet Food, which introduced grain free and potato free formulas and updated recipes in its Under the Sun line for dogs and cats. First introduced in 2015, Under the Sun offers a cost-effective pet food made with farm-fresh fruits and vegetables and a variety of quality single animal protein sources. Under the Sun's new recipes are formulated with easy digestion in mind for fewer pet sensitivities, and exclude potatoes and pork.
The new recipes include fruits and vegetables, including pumpkin, carrots, butternut squash, tomatoes, zucchini, green beans, apples, blueberries, and herbs. As with all of Canidae's product lines, Under the Sun does not contain corn, wheat, soy or chicken by-product meal. Under the Sun also added three dry grain-free and potato-free dog formulas to the line and one new dry cat formula. New Under the Sun formulas include: Small Breed, made with a reduced kibble size for smaller breed dogs; Large Breed, formulated for large breed dogs and containing glucosamine and chondroitin; Whitefish Recipe, a single animal/fish protein option in a new flavor; and Turkey Recipe for Adult Cats, a new flavor option.
Cats are also getting attention from manufacturers, including Green Bay, Wis.-based Vital Essentials, which this month is launching Vital Cat Entrées. Kevin Malnor, vice president of sales and marketing, says the food will complement Vital Essentials' seven-SKU Vital Cat Treat line. The raw pet food brand offers a full line for cats, which includes three frozen options and two freeze dried options in four protein sources: Chicken, Turkey, Duck, and Rabbit. Vital Essentials' Vital Cat line will have 31 SKUs.
Malnor says the most important features in natural pet foods are simplicity, minimal processing, and bioavailability for pets' digestive systems. "The Vital Essentials diet follows nature's example with no added fruits or vegetables, just meat, vital organs, and bones," he says. Vital Cat Entrées are made with fresh, whole, single sourced USDA animal protein and are grain-free and gluten-free. "Vital Essentials' goal is to fulfill the demand from discerning cat parents for a natural carnivore prey model diet similar to our raw entrées for dogs," says Malnor.

Red Deer film receives two awards at Central Alberta Film Festival (CAFF)
Power on Water takes Audience Choice and award for Best Short Documentary at CAFF awards ceremony Saturday, February 23.
RED DEER, February 26, 2019 – The 2019 Central Alberta Film Festival came to a conclusion Saturday night with a formal awards ceremony celebrating six winning films, with awards for Audience Choice and Best Short Documentary going to Red Deer filmmaker Rueben Tschetter for his film "Power on Water."
"Of all the films screened at the great Carnival Cinemas facility this week, 'Power on Water' was singled out by both the judges and the audience as a superior film," said Ranjit Mullakady, CAFF President, at an after-party on Saturday held at downtown restaurant Here to Mars. "We couldn't be happier that a local film gets to be celebrated this way right here in Red Deer."
"Power on Water" is a short film commissioned by the Red Deer Museum + Art Gallery that profiles Red Deer's Tammy Cunnington, world class Paralympic swimmer. Cunnington was six years old when she was struck by an airplane at a Ponoka air show in April 1982, leaving her a paraplegic. "Power on Water" tells the story of Cunnington's life, her passion, and her focus on getting to the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio.
Other films recognized at the CAFF Awards Ceremony, which was sponsored in part by 67th Street Dental and Troubled Monk Brewery, were Prairie Dog for Best Feature Narrative, RISE: The Story of Augustines for Best Feature Documentary, and "The Wall" for Best Short Narrative. Audience Choice awards for CAFF's Smartphone and 48 Hour Film Challenges were given to "Marionette Man" and "Suzie." CAFF Action Team volunteers were also recognized at the ceremony by Mullakady, who commented on the importance of teamwork in filmmaking and in life.

3 Questions for John Wing (The Tonight Show, America's Got Talent, Just For Laughs)
Jesse Roads
I think it's safe to say my first large scale comedy show I ever put on was bringing John Wing to town. Two sold out shows back to back in a market that hadn't really seen that kind of comedy talent in a long time. John had just finished up a stint on America's Got Talent and I remember thinking "holy heck, he's actually coming here…"
"I'm not a BARBARIAN, you know!"
– John Wing
Since then I have remained somewhat buds with John and have followed his journey over the last several years. John has performed on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno six times, performed several Just for Laughs and countless other festivals, clubs, cruise ships and more. John is an accomplished author spanning several books and most recently launched his "The Bad Piano Player" podcast.
I caught up with John and gave him the "3 QUESTIONS FOR" treatment.
1) As a Comic who's normally on tour a huge percentage of the time, what activity if any have you taken up or rekindled to keep the mind occupied?
I started playing the piano three or four hours a day, and planning podcasts. That's totally what kept me sane. Writing the episodes as well.
2) What's your favourite memory of being on the Tonight Show?
My first Tonight show was in 1990. Jim McCawley, the guy who booked and wrangled the comics, was holding the curtain, ready to pull it back when I was introduced. We were coming back from commercial. As we did, a couple of seconds before Jay started my intro, McCawley turned to me and said, "Hey, don't forget your jokes." I had my set typed out in my suit jacket pocket and I whipped it out for a final scan. Jesus, what an A-hole.
3) Ketchup or no ketchup on your Mac n' Cheese? Or no Mac n' Cheese at all?
No Ketchup on anything. I occasionally dip fries in Ketchup one by one, and I like cocktail sauce with shrimp, which is a form of ketchup but never ON anything. I'm not a BARBARIAN, you know!
Check out John's podcast and enjoy a little you time with your headphones on or cozied up by the fireplace with the bluetooth. The Bad Piano Player Podcast is available on PodTail, Buzzsprout, Apple podcasts and basically anywhere you get your podcast fix. OR JUST CLICK HERE!

At presstime, the U.S. Senate voted 63-30 in favor of the Roberts-Stabenow (genetically modified organisms) GMO Labeling bill, S. 764.
The labeling bill from Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) and ranking member Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) mandates GMO labeling nationwide but gives food companies three options for complying: on-package language, a USDA-created symbol or an electronic code.
Vermont's mandatory labeling bill requiring on-package labels goes into effect July 1, but won't be enforced until 2017.
The bill goes back to the House for consideration, the last hurdle before the bill can be sent to the President for his signature.

Artur Schnabel
Artur Schnabel (April 17, 1882 - August 15, 1951) was a classical pianist, who also composed and taught. Schnabel was renowned for his seriousness as a musician, avoiding anything resembling pure technical bravura. He was said to have tended to disregard his own technical limitations in pursuit of his musical ideals.
Born in Lipnik, Poland, Schnabel studied piano from the age of seven in Vienna, Austria under Theodor Leschetizky who said to him "You will never be a pianist. You are a musician." Schnabel took these words to heart, and rather than playing the showy virtuoso pieces by composers like Franz Liszt which were popular in the late 19th century, he chose to concentrate on Germanic classics by Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert. Later, Schnabel also studied composition under Eusebius Mandyczewski who was a friend of Johannes Brahms.
In 1900, Schnabel moved to Berlin where he began his career as a professional pianist. He gained some fame thanks to orchestral concerts he gave under the conductor Artur Nikisch as well as playing in chamber music and accompanying his future wife, the contralto Therese Behr, in lieder. It seems that Behr had some influence over Schnabel's repertoire, encouraging him to explore the sonatas of Schubert and the works of Brahms.
Following World War I, Schnabel toured widely, visiting the United States, Russia and England. From 1925 he taught at the Berlin State Academy where his masterclasses brought him great renown.
Schnabel was known for championing the then-neglected sonatas of Schubert and, even more so, Beethoven. At that time, Beethoven's piano music was little played and largely unappreciated by the public. While on a tour of Spain, Schnabel wrote to his wife saying that during a performance of Beethoven's Diabelli Variations he had begun to feel sorry for the audience. "I am the only person here who is enjoying this, and I get the money; they pay and have to suffer," he wrote. Schnabel did much to popularize Beethoven's music, giving the first complete cycle of his piano sonatas (that is, he played every piano sonata by Beethoven in a series of concerts) and also making the first recording of them all, completing the set in 1935. This set of recordings has never been out of print, and is considered by many to be the touchstone of Beethoven sonata interpretations. He also recorded all the Beethoven concertos.
Schnabel played with a number of famous musicians in chamber works, including the violinists Carl Flesch and Joseph Szigeti, the violist Paul Hindemith, and the cellists Pablo Casals and Pierre Fournier. Among his piano pupils were Leon Fleischer, Alan Bush and Eunice Norton.
Schnabel, a Jew, left Berlin in 1933 after the Nazi Party took control. He lived in England for a time while giving masterclasses at Tremezzo on Lake Como in Italy, before moving to America in 1939. There he took a teaching post at the University of Michigan, returning to Europe at the end of World War II. He continued to give concerts until the end of his life and continued to compose, completing three symphonies, a piano concerto and five string quartets amongst various smaller works. He also made several records, though he was never very fond of recording. Schnabel died in Axenstein, Switzerland.
Schnabel's book My Life and Music (reprinted 1988; Mineola, NY: Dover Publications; ISBN 0486255719), is a mixture of autobiography and commentary on a variety of musical subjects.

Mid-Century Design
Fidelity Reward Points
FurnitureFurniture refers to movable objects intended to support various human activities such as seating (e.g., chairs, stools, and sofas), eating (tables), and sleeping (e.g., beds). It is also used to hold objects at a convenient height for work (as horizontal surfaces above the ground, such as tables and desks), or to store things (e.g., cupboards and shelves). Furniture can be a product of design and is considered a form of decorative art. In addition to furniture's functional role, it can serve a symbolic or religious purpose. It can be made from many materials, including metal, plastic, and wood. Furniture can be made using a variety of woodworking joints which often reflect the local culture. The first three-quarters of the twentieth century are often seen as the march towards Modernism. Art Deco, De Stijl, Bauhaus, Wiener Werkstätte, and Vienna Secession designers all worked to some degree within the Modernist idiom. Born from the Bauhaus and Art Deco/Streamline styles came the post WWII "Mid-Century Modern" style using materials developed during the war including laminated plywood, plastics and fiberglass. Prime examples include furniture designed by George Nelson Associates, Charles and Ray Eames, Paul McCobb, Florence Knoll, Harry Bertoia, Eero Saarinen, Harvey Probber, Vladamir Kagan…
LightingLighting or illumination is the deliberate use of light to achieve a practical or aesthetic effect. It includes the use of both artificial light sources like lamps and light fixtures, as well as natural illumination by capturing daylight. Daylighting (using windows, skylights, or light shelves) is sometimes used as the main source of light during daytime in buildings. This can save energy, which represents a major component of energy consumption in buildings. Proper lighting can enhance task performance, improve the appearance of an area, or have positive psychological effects on occupants. Indoor lighting is usually accomplished using light fixtures, and is a key part of interior design. It can also be an intrinsic component of landscape projects. It is valuable to provide the correct light intensity and color spectrum for each task or environment. Otherwise, energy not only could be wasted but over-illumination can lead to adverse health and psychological effects. Beyond the energy factors being considered, it is important not to over-design illumination, lest adverse health effects such as headache frequency, stress, and increased blood pressure be induced by the higher lighting levels. In addition, glare or excess light can decrease worker efficiency. (wikipedia.org)
Home AccessoriesHome accessories are furniture items which are easy to replace and easy to move, and include almost any items that aren't strictly functionally necessary in the decorated space. These accessories include such items as curtains, sofa sets, cushions, tablecloths and decorative craft products, decorative wrought iron, and so on. These items are commonly used in indoor furnishings and layout and can include cloth items, paintings, and plants. Home accessories, as movable decorations, reflect the owner's taste and create a personal atmosphere where they are placed. These items can break the boundaries of traditional decoration industry, using handicrafts, textiles, collectibles, and things such as lamps, floral items, and plants re-combined to form a new concept. Home accessories vary according to size and shape of room space, the owner's living habits, hobbies, tastes, and their economic situation. They are very important items in interior design. Interior design is the process of shaping the experience of interior space, through the manipulation of spatial volume as well as surface treatment for the betterment of human functionality.

Corner sideboard with rolling shutters
Corner sideboard with rolling shutters. Can be used as a TV stand or minibar and is made in Germany, in the late 1940s or early 1950s. The contrast between the dark brown and acacia color are specific for the German furniture design of that period and creates a nice chromatic game. The sides and top are decorated with brass rods. Inside, the rolling shutters hide behind a double wall when open (so the storage space is completely void). The piece was recently restored and is in very good shape.
Murano orange fruit bowl
Impressive fruit bowl made in Murano in the second half of the 1950s. The piece distinguishes itself through the transparency of the orange pigment, which goes up to red at certain times of the day when light is favorable. The irregular shape - of natural inspiration - radiates from the center. A rare piece, kept in excellent condition.
Very rare P. I. Langlo sofa
Superb and very rare three seats sofa produced by P. I. Langlo's Fabrikker, the father of the Norwegian Modern furniture, sometime between 1932 and 1940. This piece, made of rosewood, already shows some of the representative elements of the Scandinavian Modern Style: flared legs and brass shoes. The continuous line of the backrest and armrests provides an elegant and unitary outline. The pillows, with seagrass inside, are extremely comfortable. The sofa was reupholstered in the zeitgeist of Lango's models. The pillows are green on a side and red on the other side (as shown in the pictures), so the seat of this sofa can change color depending on your taste and design needs. The sofa has the original label, specifying the factory, the type (1737) and the production number (245). Every P. I. Langlo's Fabrikker was hand-made, in several weeks. This is a highly rare piece, that despite its age (almost 80 years) is in very good condition.

It all centres on a small area above the thalamus (which process movement and senses) known as the lateral habenula. As we've previously reported, an overactive habenula has been linked to grumpiness. It's also been implicated in psychosis, as it can cause people to feel both more speeded up and more slowed down. That's because neurons coming into this part of the brain secrete both glutamate, which makes us feel excited, and GABA, which tells us to calm the heck down. It's rare for neurons to have two different functions like this, and before this study it had only been observed in two other areas of the brain.
In primates, experiments showed increased activity in the laternal habenula when monkeys expected but didn't get a drink of juice (cruelty!), leading the scientists to label this part of the brain the 'disappointment pathway'. There isn't enough evidence to show decisively that it's linked to depression, but researchers have hypothesised that it could be. However, it's not a complete downer designed to make us feel bad: its primary purpose may be to reduce the amount of physical pain we feel.

I am able to print using the Print selection under Photoshop. The Print Plugin causes a crash of the printing.


Well folks, I may get tomatoes and peppers and squash this year after all! When my Mom and Dad were in town, Dad helped me get the garden set up. I got everything planted and fertilized. Manure is something we definitely can find on the farm.
It's kind of hard to make this out in the picture, but I added the posts and twine to support the tomato plants this past weekend. Papa John and I were up at the extension office for a beekeepers meeting, and I noticed that the master gardener had his tomatoes staked up like this. I thought I'd give it a try, since I have absolutely no luck with tomato frames.

The Maasai Mara's 320 square kilometers of open savannah, woodlands and tree-lined rivers create an eco-system which supports huge numbers of bird and mammal species. The western border of the park is the spectacular Siria Escarpment, and together with the acacia dotted plains, creates scenery of stunning beauty. Lions are found in abundance throughout the park, as are elephant, giraffe, a variety of gazelle species and zebra. Cheetah and leopard are also regularly seen and if lucky, you may also get to see rhinos. This safari consists of quality accommodation and a superb opportunity for experiencing an adventurous journey across the heart of kenya and viewing the game animals and in some cases all of the 'big five' It truly promises to be an exciting and unforgettable experience.
