GIANT MULTICOLOURED EASTER EGG TOWERS OVER BRAZILIAN TOWN By David Stubbings You definitely won't miss this Easter egg in the Brazilian town of Pomerode. VIDEO: https://youtu.be/r5savRs44T8
The multicoloured attraction is now the world’s largest decorated Easter Egg, standing 15.02 m tall and 8.72 m in diameter after 48 days of construction and decorating. The egg itself is made out of welded steel (not chocolate!), while the painted shell is made from a sandwich of foam and resin-impregnated canvas. Both the structure and the shell were built in four separate sections which were then fitted together for the official record attempt and unveiling on 9 March. The attempt was organised by the local tourism body, Associação Visite Pomerode, which wanted to create awareness of the town's festival, Osterfest, and to pay tribute to a local artist famous for her painted eggs. "Pomerode is a town colonized by German immigrants, who brought the tradition of painting eggshells for Easter," said association board member, Ivan Blumenschein. "Originally, this was done by cooking eggs with dyeing herbs in the water. "The artist Silvana Pujol, born in Pomerode, developed her very own style of painting eggshells (from hummingbirds to ostriches), and her work became iconic of eggshell painting - not only in Pomerode, but in the entire country and even abroad." Osterfest is an annual Easter festival in Pomerode which attracts more than 200,000 visitors during the five weeks it's on. As well as activities, workshops and shows, this year’s festival also includes the record-breaking egg which will be on display until May. "An eggshell painted by Silvana was chosen as a model to be recreated in a giant-size scale," continued Ivan. "The artist João Siqueira accepted the challenge to recreate her work in a 15-m egg. Siqueira is specialized in creating large scale sculptures, such as the ones used in Brazilian Carnival." This is not the first time the Pomerode festival has broken a record. In 2017, organisers achieved the largest Easter egg tree with 82,404 decorated eggs hanging from it. 2
My seun Gilbert was agt jaar oud en was deel van die "scout cub's" vir ʼn klein rukkie. Tydens een van hulle byeenkomste het elkeen ʼn vel papier gekry, ʼn stuk hout en vier wiele en hulle was aangesê om dit huis toe te neem en vir "pa" te gaan gee. Vir Gilbert was dit nie ʼn maklike taak nie. Pa was nie een van daardie mense wat graag iets saam met sy seun gedoen het nie, pa het geglo dat ʼn kind maar sommer self moet grootword. Maar Gilbert het hard probeer en elke dag vir pa gevra vir sy hulp. Pa het die vel papier geneem, die voorskrifte gelees en dit smalend eenkant gegooi. Hy was beslis nie van plan om saam met sy jong seun ‘n houtkarretjie te bou nie. Die blok hout het vir weke daar eenkant gelê. Die tyd het verby gegaan. Eendag het ma besluit genoeg is genoeg, sy het die vel papier geneem en gekyk of sy miskien iets met die stuk hout en vier wiele kon uitrig. Projek "motor bou" het begin in alle erns. Sy het nog nooit houtwerk gedoen nie, en die beste wat sy kon doen was om stap vir stap vir Gilbert te verduidelik wat gedoen moes word, en hom die werk laat doen. Hy was so gretig dat hy baie entoesiasties alles gedoen het wat ma verduidelik het. Sy het die mates vir hom gelees, en al die moets en moenies van die motor wat gebou moes word. Binne weke het die stuk hout vorm begin aanneem en was die buitelyne van die sportmotor al duideliker sigbaar. Effens skeef en krom, maar baie mooi, (of so het ma gedink). Gilbert het nie een van die ander kinders se motors gesien nie, en was baie trots op sy "blou weerlig blits" van n motortjie. Daardie trots wat jy voel as jy iets self met groot gesukkel reggekry het. Toe breek die groot aand van die wedren aan. Met sy blou hout motortjie in sy hand, en ‘n hart wat wil bars van trots het ons na die veld gery waar die groot wedren van hout motortjies sou plaasvind. Toe ons daar aankom het Gilbert se trots baie gou in vernedering verander. Sy motor was baie duidelik die enigste een wat deur hom alleen gemaak was. Al die ander motors was baie duidelik ‘n seun / pa vennootskap, met stylvolle lyne, en baie "cool" geverfde strepe. Regte sportmotortjies wat gebou is om die maksimum spoed uit te kry. 'n Paar van die seuns het sommer hardop begin giggel vir Gilbert se skewe, onaantreklike selfgeboude motor. En om dit nog erger te maak was Gilbert die enigste seun sonder 'n pa aan sy sy. Daar was 'n paar seuns van enkel ouerhuise maar hulle het darem 'n oupa of 'n oom saam met hulle gehad, en al wat Gilbert gehad het, was "ma". Die wedloop het begin en dit was gedoen deur middel van eliminasie. So lank as wat jy onder die voorste paar was, het jy in die wedloop gebly. Een vir een het die motors by die sand glybaan afgejaag. En uiteindelik was die wedloop tussen Gilbert en die mooiste motortjie van die aand. Toe die laaste wedloop reg is om te begin, het my grootoog, skaam seuntjie gevra of hy die wedloop net met 'n oomblik kan vertraag, omdat hy eers wil bid. Almal het stil geword. Gilbert het op sy knieë neergesak en sy snaakse skewe blou motortjie tussen sy handjies vasgehou. Met 'n ernstige frons op die sproetgesiggie het hy met sy Hemelse Vader in gesprek gegaan, baie ernstig het hy vir ‘n minuut en ‘n half gebid, toe staan hy op, glimlag vir almal en kondig ewe braaf aan: OK, ek is gereed. Die skare het begin skree, en 'n seuntjie genaamd Tommy het langs sy pappa gestaan terwyl die twee motortjies teen die wal af jaag. Gilbert het alleen gestaan, met net sy Hemelse Vader in sy hart en gekyk hoe sy lelike skewe motortjie met verbasende spoed teen die wal afry, en met 'n sekonde of twee voor Tommy se motortjie oor die wenstreep jaag. Gilbert het in die lug opgespring en geskee: "Dankie, Dankie" en die skare het hulle goedkeuring uitgeskree. Die organiseerder het met die mikrofoon na Gilbert gekom en vir hom gevra: "Gilbert, het jy gebid om te wen?" en toe antwoord my kind: "O, nee, Meneer, dit sou baie onregverdig van my gewees het om te verwag dat ons Hemelse Koning moet gee dat Tommy verloor, sien meneer, ek het net vir Hom gevra om my te help dat ek nie huil as ek verloor nie." Weereens kan die wysheid van kinders ons verstom. Gilbert het nie Vader gevra om die uitslag van die wedloop in sy voordeel te laat swaai nie, maar hy het Hom gevra vir krag, ongeag wat die uitslag van die wedloop was. Toe Gilbert die eerste keer al die ander motors sien, het hy nie Vader beskuldig omdat al die ander seuns pa's gehad het wat hulle gehelp het, en hy net vir ma gehad het nie. Nee hy het net gebid vir krag om die uitslag met waardigheid te aanvaar. Miskien spandeer ons teveel tyd om Sy Majesteit JeaHUaH te vra om die uitkoms van ons lewenswedloop in ons guns te laat swaai. Om ons die wenners te maak, of miskien spandeer ons te veel tyd om Sy Majesteit JeaHUaH te vra om die wedloop heeltemal te verwyder, in plaas daarvan om op ons knieë neer te sak en Hom te vra om ons krag te gee om die wedloop met waardigheid te voltooi. Gilbert het nie gebid om die ander seuntjie te laat verloor nie, dit was onregverdig in sy oë, en dan het iemand in die proses seergekry, hy wou net krag hê, krag om nie te huil as Tommy se motortjie gewen het nie. Deur die wedloop te stop, en eers te bid, het hy vir almal daar gewys dat hy nie daar was sonder 'n Vader nie, sy Hemelse Vader was die hele tyd by hom. Daardie aand het Gilbert as oorwinnaar weggestap, met sy Vader langs hom.

Lauren Cahn The first selfie: In 1939, more than 120 years after the first photograph ever was taken, Robert Cornelius set up a camera in the back of his family’s store and took what’s believed to be the very first photographic self-portrait ever. What’s astounding is how long it took for someone to take that first “selfie.” One thing is for sure— he nailed his lighting, and so did the takers of other historical selfies.

A woman from the Pacific NorthWest lived to the ripe old age of 99 - despite her organs all being located in the wrong place. What’s more, Rose Marie Bentley never knew anything was amiss. When Ms Bentley died in 2017, her body was donated to research, as had been that of her husband, Jim, a dozen years earlier. But when students from Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) used the elderly lady’s cadaver to experiment with as part of a routine anatomy class, they discovered she was anything but normal. Indeed, they found she had suffered from the very rare condition of situs inversus. This arrangement, present in just one in fifty million adults, leaves people with their liver, stomach and other abdominal organs transposed right to left. In Ms Bentley’s case, her heart remained on the left side of her chest. “I knew something was up, but it took us a while to figure out how she was put together,” Cam Walker, an assistant professor of anatomy in the OHSU anatomical services centre, said in a statement released on Monday.
Warren Nielsen, a second-year medical student from Lake Oswego, Oregon, was one of many OHSU students who worked with Ms Bentley’s remains. “It was quite amazing,” he said. “We were able to not only learn normal anatomy but also all the anatomic variation that can occur. I grew to appreciate how she was able to live as long as she did. It made me wonder who she was. The experience has me looking forward to caring for patients and being able to apply what I’ve learned from her.” Ms Bentley and her husband had five children and ran a farm and pet supply store in the town of Molalla. She taught Sunday school and sang choir at their United Methodist Church, According to reports, she and her husband decided to donate their remains for scientific research after reading a poem by Robert Test. It opens with the line: “Give my sight to the man who has never seen a sunrise, a baby’s face, or love in the eyes of a woman.” Her children said she would have been laughed out loud to learn she was a medical rarity. Louise Allee said her mother would love all the belated attention. “My mom would think this was so cool,” she said. “She would be tickled pink that she could teach something like this. She would probably get a big smile on her face, knowing that she was different, but made it through.” 6

Teresa Dumain Confession: What your body really needs for better health, nutrition, sleep, pain relief, and more. Please don’t look down at your phone. Would you hang four bowling balls from my neck? Before you say that’s a stupid question, consider this: Sixty pounds (or about the combined weight of those balls) is the same amount of force exerted when you tilt your head forward at about a 60-degree angle to text or email from your smartphone.
And you do that for up to four hours (hours!) a day. For the love and integrity of my cervical spine, raise that phone up to your sight line.

Jane Donohue While living with someone who has autism may have plenty of challenges, overall, the experience can be an absolute gift. Growing up with a brother who is on the autism spectrum meant a lot of compromises. My brother is high-functioning, but there were still a lot of things we had to do to adapt. Though we felt like it at times, we weren’t alone: According to the Autism Society, the disorder occurs in one in every 59 births in the United States. Autism can impact a person’s ability to communicate and interact with others, as well as their fine motor skills, coordination, and even their basic senses in some cases. As a child, I had to make concessions for my brother’s condition, and there were more than a few situations that led me to say “that’s not fair!” or “you would never let me get away with that.” But, as we all grew and evolved, I realized I had to help the family work as a cohesive unit—and this continues to be the main priority for everyone in my family. There will be tantrums This was especially true when my brother was young: The tantrums usually came out of a misunderstanding or a breakdown in communication—a common issue for people on the autism spectrum. They cannot always communicate what they are feeling, and the frustration can lead to tantrums. But as we got better at communicating as a family, the tantrums lessened until, eventually, they stopped completely. Respect the routine Something my family learned is that routine equals comfort, and maintaining routines around the house helped my brother get through his day. When we had to shift the routine, we just needed to do so with plenty of warning, careful planning, and clear communication. Read the signs Even as my communication with my brother improved, I could still hit a point when he wouldn’t be able to comprehend exactly what I was saying. If he failed to respond or came back with something completely off-topic, it was my cue to stop pushing or risk that he might get angry or completely shut down. Keep social life simple Like a lot of people on the autism spectrum, my brother is very smart. But he understands life in a completely different—yet fascinating—way. Despite his intelligence, like many people on the spectrum he has a hard time reading social cues and can find social situations challenging. In this case, my family has learned to slow down his interactions with others, keep things simple, and allow him breaks when he’s feeling overwhelmed. They will attain goals I grew up trying to hit goals. Career goals. Life goals. Relationship goals. Money goals. And I was acutely aware of when society felt I should reach those benchmarks. My brother may not hit those goals when he “should,” but he is attaining them—when he’s ready. Make time for downtime We all need time to recharge and decompress, but my brother thrives on spending a ton of time alone, something that can be true of people on the spectrum. While at times I felt like it might be a good idea for him to be more social, I realized that even family dinner demanded a lot from him, and he would need downtime afterward. There will be so much love I’m constantly thankful for all the love I feel and receive from my brother—even if he doesn’t show it in a traditional way. I’m able to see from his behavior and small gestures how much he appreciates me. I admire him, too, for all of the amazing things he can see that I can’t.’ 12

New studies show a shocking 25 percent of people with type 2 diabetes don’t even know it. If you experience some of these subtle diabetes symptoms and signs, talk to your doctor about getting tested. “It’s not like you wake up one day and all of a sudden you’re thirsty, hungry, and [going to the bathroom] all the time,” says Melissa Joy Dobbins, RD, a certified diabetes educator in Illinois and a spokesperson for the American Association of Diabetes Educators. “It picks up gradually.” Indeed, “most people are unaware that they have diabetes in its early or even middle phases,” says Aaron Cypess, MD, assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and staff physician at Joslin Diabetes Center. Just because you’re not keyed in doesn’t mean you’re immune from problems associated with diabetes, he adds. The longer you go without controlling diabetes, the greater your risk for heart disease, kidney disease, amputation, blindness, and other serious complications. “We recommend that people with risk factors for diabetes, such as a family history or being overweight, get evaluated on a regular basis,” Dr. Cypess says. If you’ve been feeling off, talk to your doctor about getting a simple blood test that can diagnose the disease.
