What The ______ Should I Eat???

By Dr. Greg Fors, DC Board-certified Neurologist (DIBCN)

I have been practicing nutritional medicine for 30 years now, and I can tell you one thing for sure; you will never truly heal or maintain your health without the proper diet for you! Why? Because food is not just calories; it is information. Food provides instructions to the operating system of your own biology. The foods you eat communicate to your gut microbiota determining which bacteria thrive, to your immune system turning on or off inflammation, to your genetics expressing health or disease.

Itโ s confusing with all the different diets: Vegan, Zone, Adkins, Paleo, Pegan, Keto, and so much more. Then there are all the contradictions thrown at us by the government and media: eggs are bad-no eggs are good, fat is badno fat is good, grains are good-grains are bad, and on and on we go. A huge problem is that much of the scientific investigation into food and nutrition is highly influenced by the food industry. A recent study by the National Academy of Sciences has found government policy to be influenced by the food industry.

No big surprise here.

So, you may ask again, what the ______ should I eat? First, eat real foods, whole natural foods, non-processed foods. Very simply, if God made it eat it, if man made it leave it. As an extreme example there are 37 different ingredients in a Twinkie only one is a food, banana purรฉe at the very bottom the list the least thing in it.

My basic dietary guidelines - founded on my review of the scientific literature and my 30 years of experience in helping people return to health and wellness: 1. Make a wide variety of vegetables the center of your diet. About three-fourths of your plate should be covered with colorful vegetables. The scientific community is unanimous on the fact that vegetables with all their phytonutrients are nothing but good for you, PERIOD. 2. Smother your veggies in good fats, extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, grass fed butter, or Ghee if allergic to dairy proteins. Then add your favorite seasonings but make your veggies tasty.

3.About a quarter of the plate should be a protein. If itโ s a meat, it should about the size of the palm of your hand. In other words, fill-up on veggies!

Excessive protein should be avoided for many reasons. Vegetable-based proteins can be utilized in a vegan diet 4. Certain food proteins can be very pro-inflammatory. The most common are gluten from grains and casein from dairy products, avoid these to begin with, then do a trial introduction when feeling better.

5. Reduce carbohydrates by removing grains for a while to see how you do on a low carb diet. Remove all sugars and utilize Stevia or Monk Fruit for sweetening. Reduce fruit intake, eat primarily berries.

This Is Just The Beginning There Is So Much More To Do With my patients, when it comes to diet and nutrient support, it is much more in-depth and is based on laboratory testing of blood, stool, urine and saliva. There is an in-depth consultation and history review followed by a comprehensive nutritional, neurological and orthopedic exam. Based on this data specific laboratory tests are run, then analyzed and correlated to symptoms, history and exam findings by me. Then I teach you on how you became sick and how you can heal.

With these laboratory tests I determine specific nutrient deficiencies, for example, an RBC analysis for intracellular magnesium, a zinc to copper ratio, iron and intracellular iron in the form of ferritin. I look at essential fatty acids levels to see if there is an Omega-3 EPA and DHA deficiency needing fish oil supplementation. Blood biomarkers for B vitamin intracellular deficiencies are also checked such as homocysteine for methyl folate and methylmalonic acid for B 12.

I also look to blood biomarkers of chronic inflammation to see if an anti-inflammatory diet with certain herbal supplements are needed to help moderate your inflammatory response. I pay close attention to how you are handling glucose and insulin, and if a low carb/high fat/moderate protein diet is needed. You cannot rely on a fasting blood glucose, it will miss insulin resistance and its dangers for more than a decade. You must test for hemoglobin A-1 C and a fasting glucose to insulin ratio is rarely if ever done.

A urinary organic acid profile also helps to assess nutrient deficiencies and metabolic imbalances. In nutritional medicine itโ s vital to assess digestion, absorption and the microbiota through a Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis.

A corrective diet will not be successful when there is small intestinal bacterial overgrowth or SIBO, gut inflammation and leaky gut. Through the stool analysis and a SIBO Breath Test these conditions can be identified and then properly corrected. Food allergies and sensitivities are also tested through blood antibody levels to check for inflammatory protein reactions. A very common problem when leaky gut is present.

All dietary changes are taught to you in detail by me and my staff. The dietary changes are made with your preferences in mind; a corrective diet will only work if there is full patient compliance.

Consider how your life could be with the restoration of your health, call for a free consultation today. Also, you can attend my upcoming workshop on โ What The ____ Should I Eat?" This vital information to your health is covered Wednesday, July 17th at 7 PM at the Pain and Brain Healing Center, 1400 131st Ave NE Blaine.

BATHTUBS (cont’d)

• Archimedes pondered the question. Then he decided to take a bath.

As he got into the over-filled tub, some water splashed on the floor. That's when he realized that a body immersed in fluid loses weight equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces— an important law of physics. He knew that by weighing the amount of water displaced by the crown both before and after it was re-worked, he could tell if the gold had been adulterated.

He became so excited that he allegedly rushed naked into the streets of Syracuse, Sicily, shouting "Eureka!" which means "I have found it!" The crown was weighed, the jeweler did indeed steal some gold— and he paid for it with his life.

• On December 28, 1917, H.L. Mencken published a fictitious history of the bathtub in the "New York Evening Mail." The story told all about how the tub was unknown in America until 1842 when a Cincinnati grain dealer brought

Millard Fillmore supposedly ordered one installed in the White House.

• For years, Mencken watched in awe as his totally fabricated story about bathtubs became part of accepted American history. In 1926, he revealed the story to be a hoax which he published only to lighten things up during the war.

People refused to believe the truth, and his history of bathtubs even appeared in the "Dictionary of American History" written in 1970.

• Eccentric artist Salvador Dali was invited by a store on 5th Avenue in New York City to design their window display. Dali's subsequent creation was titled "Night and Day" and featured many unusual pieces. A bed covered with black sheets stood for night; the canopy over the bed was a buffalo with a bloody pigeon in its mouth; and a mannequin lay on the bed covered in cobwebs with its head propped up on fake burning coals.

Day was represented by an ermine-lined bathtub filled with water. A mannequin in a gorgeous ballgown was stepping into the tub while looking into a mirror held by two arms sprouting from the floor. Dali set up this whole display, then left for the night.

But while he was gone, an employee who thought the display could be improved upon changed the whole set around.

The bed was removed,

the decor changed, and the mannequin repositioned. Dali was furious. He stormed into the store and in protest tried to overturn the tub of water. But he slipped and both he and the bathtub crashed through the plate glass window, landing on the sidewalk. Dali was arrested but given a suspended sentence.

He got front page coverage for weeks.

TRUE TUB FACTS • Edmond Rostand was a French writer who hated to be interrupted while he was working, but he did not like to turn his friends away because he was writing. So he spent much of his time writing while in the bathtub— and turned away his friends because he was taking a bath. In 1898 he published "Cyrano de Bergerac."

• When the script called for actress Claudette Colbert to take a bath in 400 gallons of milk in the 1932 film "The Sign of the Cross," she agreed to do the scene. Unfortunately the scene took a week to complete and by the end of the week, the 400 gallons of milk had gone sour.

• A friend gave writer Dorothy Parker a small alligator. She put it into the bathtub until she could figure out what to do with it, then left for an appointment.

When she returned, she found this note from the maid: "I have resigned. I refuse to work in a house where there is an alligator in the bathtub. I would have told you this before, but I did not think the matter would ever come up."

• During the bombing of London in World War II, a young lady was taking a bath when her home was hit by a bomb.

The bathtub was thrown in the air and came down upside-down with the girl underneath it. The tub sheltered her from the collapsing rubble. Rescuers were very surprised to find a naked girl unharmed under the bathtub.

• Mark Twain often told folks that he was one of a set of identical twins. No one could tell them apart because they were so similar. One day in the bathtub

one of the twins drowned, but no one ever knew which twin it was. Twain would continue, "That was the tragedy.

Everyone thought I was the one that lived, but I wasn't. It was my brother who lived.

I was the one that was drowned!"

• After the movie "Psycho" was released, a man wrote to Alfred Hitchcock and complained that because she had seen the film, his wife refused to bathe or shower. He wanted suggestions as to what he could do. Hitchcock replied, "Sir, have you ever considered sending your wife to the dry cleaner?"

• The 1929 German comic opera "Neues vam Tage" ("News of the Day") by Paul Hindemith included a scene in which a lady sang an aria sitting (apparently) naked in a bathtub, surrounded by cotton soap suds. This scene proved so offensive that chancellor Adolf Hitler left the theater in disgust, while other members of his party referred to the work as an example of "degenerate art" and to its creator as a "cultural bolshevik."

REMARKABLE PEOPLE

J.K. ROWLING by: Kathy Wolfe

June 26 has been declared Harry Potter Day, with internationally famous author J.K. Rowling as the creator of this series of books. This week, Tidbits focuses on the rags-to-riches story of this remarkable writer.

• Joanne Kathleen Rowling was born to an aircraft engineer father, who worked at the Rolls Royce factory in Bristol, England, and a science technician mother, and grew up in Gloucestershire, England. She was already an aspiring author at age six, penning a story about a rabbit, and at age 11, writing her first novel about the owners of seven cursed diamonds.

• After being rejected by Oxford University, Rowling entered Exeter University, studying French and classic literature. While sitting on a train from Manchester to London that had been delayed, she envisioned the idea of the adventures of a boy attending a school of wizardry.

• Rowling’s mother, who had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis when J.K. was a teenager, passed away when Rowling was 25, an event that she has described as the most traumatizing moment in her life. Rowling had been working on the first Harry Potter book for about six months, but she hadn’t told her mother of her project, which became a great source of grief for her.

• Following her graduation and her mother’s death, she moved to Portugal to teach English, and married a Portuguese journalist there. Their daughter was born the following year, but when the marriage ended after just 13 months, Rowling and her daughter moved to Scotland to be near her sister. In her suitcase were the handwritten first three chapters of “Harry Potter.”

• She and her daughter lived in a tiny Edinburgh tenement in near poverty, living on government benefits as J.K. struggled to work on the first book. Seven years after she had begun, the book was finished, and she began sending it out to publishers. Twelve publishers rejected it.

Finally, in 1997, when Rowling was 32, Bloomsbury Children’s Books bought the manuscript for about $4,000, and it was released in the U.K. in June of that year.

It was released in the United States the following year, the first of seven books that narrated the life of Harry and his companions at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

• The first Harry Potter film was released in 2001, with seven more to come, concluding in 2011.

• Rowling embarked on a new series in 2013, crime novels written under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith, numbering four books to date. She debuted as a screenwriter in 2016, with “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.”

• In 2018, Rowling became the

Corn Fed Angus

first author to attain billionaire status, with sales of more than 450 million Harry Potter books contributing to that achievement. However, she didn’t retain that status for long. As a noted philanthropist, she has given away enough to reduce her worth below billionaire.

A gift of 10 million British pounds opened the Anne Rowling Regenerative Neurology Clinic in Edinburgh. Her pet project is eastern European orphanages.

After seeing photos of children caged in beds in Romania, she began donating millions of pounds to establish a foundation to save the children. In her words, “I was as poor as it’s possible to be … Now I am able to give.”

CHOICE STEERS FROM OUR OWN PRIVATE LOT

THE ICE BALLOON by: Janet Spencer

Beef Sides Front 1/4’s Hind 1/4’s Beef Split Sides

Call in Your Order Today • In 1897, Sweden was falling far behind in the race to explore the North Pole. A man named S. A. Andrée set out to remedy that. Andrée worked as an engineer in Sweden’s patent office and had developed an interest in hydrogen balloons. He proposed that he head up an official expedition to fly over the North Pole in a hydrogen balloon, mapping and photographing the route, before landing in Russia or Canada. Enthusiasm for the project ran high and the government pledged support and funding. He chose as his travel companions a meteorological researcher, and a physics and chemistry student who was also a photographer.

None of the three team members had any training for surviving in extreme conditions.

• One of the main problems presented was how to steer a balloon.

Andrée devised a series of ropes that would drag on the pack ice, supposedly providing a rudimentary rudder. He failed to do much testing of this theory. A second issue was ensuring that the hydrogen would not escape from the balloon, because there was no way to replenish it once the balloon was launched. Andrée pointed at balloons constructed in Europe that had held their hydrogen for up to a year without deflating, but no hydrogen balloon had ever been tested in Arctic conditions before.

• Andrée ordered a specially constructed balloon, built to be able to carry a crew of three plus three tons of supplies, and designed to stay aloft for up to 30 days. The balloon was named “Örnen” meaning “Eagle.”

• When it was delivered, it was found to be leakier than expected, with hydrogen escaping through over 8

• Amid fanfare, the Eagle was launched on July 11, 1897, and encountered problems immediately. The overloaded balloon nearly crashed into the sea. When the drag ropes caught on the ice, they were ripped from their moorings and fell. Relieved of the weight, the balloon rose too high as it drifted out of sight.

• The balloon became sodden with rain and ice and crashed two days later, 65 miles from where it had launched. It landed on pack ice softly enough that all supplies remained intact. The team tried to sledge and boat to an emergency supply depot that had been arranged in advance, but the ice floe carried them away from land faster than they could travel towards it. While stranded, they kept meticulous diaries and took photos.

• They camped on the ice until October 2nd, when the ice began to break

up. They loaded supplies into their small boat and barely made it to a remote Arctic island called Kvitøya, meaning White Island. Although they still had food and supplies, the three men perished within days. For the next 33 years, no one knew what had become of them.

• In 1930, a Norwegian sealing ship sailed up to White Island and dropped anchor. Although the island was populated with walruses and seals, ships had previously avoided landing there because it was persistently surrounded by thick pack ice and fog. But the summer of 1930 had been warmer than normal, leaving the island approachable. The ship was short on fresh water. The sailors that were dispatched to find water were surprised to discover an upside-down boat, covered in ice. Inside the boat was all manner of equipment. Nearby were three scattered skeletons. Later exploration yielded the diaries and the photographs of the doomed expedition. The Eagle had been found. Their diaries and photographs told the tale of a voyage that started in hubris and ended in disaster.

In the past 10 years, a new image joined the bumper sticker pantheon, right next to gratuitous honor student boasts and outdated political endorsements: Coexist.

A smorgasbord of religious and political signifiers, with a few seemingly random symbols thrown in for good measure, it's become its own symbol of a banal, graphically incoherent 21st-century hippie.

The Coexist logo didn't begin as an inelegant medley of beliefs and symbols.

It began as part of a contest with a depiction of three symbols from the Abrahamic religions. Islam, Judaism and Christianity.

The Abrahamic religions, also referred to collectively as Abrahamism, are a group of Semitic-originated religious communities of faith that claim descent from the Judaism of the ancient Israelites and the worship of the God of Abraham. The Abrahamic religions are monotheistic, with the term deriving from the patriarch Abraham (a major biblical figure from The Old Testament, who is recognized by Jews, Christians, Muslims, and others.

Piotr Mlodozeniec of Poland designed the original coexist logo in 2000 for a contest held by the Museum of the Seam, a contemporary art museum in Jerusalem. (continued pg 6)

A Message From a Rescued Soldier

about you every day. Rich made it to the hospital alive, thanks to you, where he spent eight months. Since then he’s had a good life, finishing college, working and marrying.

On the 50th anniversary of the day you rescued him, he sent a letter to a number of newspapers across the country, hoping you would see it. He says, “I hope that you survived as well and have had the same happiness that you have given me to enjoy all these years.” He knows and appreciates the risks you took to go in and get him.

My own father was 1st Cav back in the day, and he wore the yellow insignia on his shoulder with the diagonal black stripe and the horsehead.

Knowing what he was like, I wasn’t at all surprised when I read that those who rescued Rich (and so many others during the war) were 1st Cavalry, one the Army’s most decorated combat divisions.

If you were part of that airmobile crew that rescued Rich, thank you ... and welcome home.

Were you in Binh Duong, South Vietnam, in May 1969? Were you part of the crew of a 1st Cav airmobile near Lai Khe? Under fire, did you swoop in and pick up two severely injured 1st Infantry soldiers and whisk them to safety? A truck full of soldiers had rolled over a land mine, killing five of them immediately.

Chances are you made so many rescues that you don’t remember. And even if you do remember picking up two seriously injured guys outside Lai Khe, things were moving so fast and furious that you didn’t catch their names.

But one of them definitely remembers you. And he has a message.

That soldier -- his name (c) 2019 King Features Synd., is Rich Newcombe -- thinks Inc.

SENIOR NEWS LINE

The Next Exercise Fad?

A study done in Brazil has concluded that it’s muscle power, as opposed to muscle strength, that can add years to life.

Confusing, isn’t it? It sounds like they’re the same thing, but they’re not. A short example might be that having strength means you can pick up a certain weight.

Power means you can pick it up quickly a number of times. It’s also called power training. Beware.

Researchers gathered participants between the ages of 41 and 85 and gave them tests involving upright rowing. They would stand in front of a machine, pick up the bar and pull it to chest level. Just pulling it up was strength. Doing it quickly multiple times was power. After determining how much weight each person could quickly pick up, they were divided into groups. At the end

of six years, the scientists found that those who had the most muscle power had a lower risk of death. It was the first study of its kind that linked longevity to muscle power.

I have concerns about this study, especially because I fear it’s going to become the new exercise fad for seniors. Even though the study participants were generally older, I see the possibility of pulling muscles and wrenching joints while attempting to lift weight too quickly.

There are other things we can do to increase our longevity. The DASH diet (Dietary Approach to Stopping Hypertension) has been shown for years to cut the risk of stroke, kidney stones and more. And moderate exercise every day can help us avoid some serious health problems.

If you’re tempted to join this new exercise fad, run it by your doctor for advice. You might ask for other exercise ideas if you’re looking for something new. (c) 2019 King Features Synd., Inc.

Remarkable People

ELMER McCURDY by: Janet Spencer

• Elmer McCurdy was born in Maine in 1880. As a young adult, he travelled the country picking up odd jobs, working mostly in mining and plumbing.

• In 1911, McCurdy decided to rob a train in Oklahoma after hearing that it was carrying a safe containing $4,000.

He and two buddies successfully stopped the train and found the safe. Because McCurdy had worked in mining, he had access to nitroglycerin and he used it to blow open the safe. However, he miscalculated the amount needed and ended up destroying not only the safe but also all the paper money inside it.

The three men made off with about $450 in silver coins which were largely fused together in the blast.

• Next McCurdy and his gang decided to rob a bank in Kansas by tunneling into a wall at night and placing a nitroglycerin charge next to the vault.

Once again the blast was badly bungled, destroying the interior of the bank but failing to blow open the vault. The team made off with some loose change before escaping. Undeterred, the three men decided to rob another Oklahoma train carrying a $400,000 payment destined for

the Osage Indian Nation. Unfortunately they accidently held up the wrong train, stopping a passenger train by mistake.

They made off with $46 robbed from the passengers and some whisky. They retreated to a nearby ranch to hide out and consume the whiskey.

• By now there was a price on McCurdy’s head, with a $2000 reward offered for his capture. The local sheriff and his posse tracked McCurdy to the ranch and surrounded it. McCurdy was so drunk that he was unable to put up much of a fight, and died with a single bullet wound to his chest. He was 30 years old when he died in 1911.

• McCurdy’s body was taken to the Johnson Funeral Home, where Joseph Johnson embalmed him using arsenic, a preservative used whenever it was likely that it would take a long time for a body to be buried. Johnson was unwilling to undertake the extra cost of burying the body so he waited for someone to claim the corpse. No one ever did. To recoup the cost of the embalming, he propped McCurdy up in a coffin in the back room, and then charged 25 cents admission to see “The Bandit Who Wouldn’t Give Up.” • Five years later, two men showed up at Johnson’s funeral parlor, claiming that they were McCurdy’s brothers. They took the corpse with them, promising a proper burial for their long-lost brother. However, they weren’t actually

McCurdy’s brothers at all. They ran a carnival and were looking for a good side-show attraction. McCurdy’s corpse travelled with this carnival until 1922, when the carnival was sold to a new owner.

• McCurdy’s body then spent the next six years traveling among a display of wax replicas of famous outlaws.

Next it was passed around various other attractions. It appeared as a prop in a movie; it was part of a wax museum display; it was shown in an amusement park; and then it appeared in a funhouse attraction.

• In 1976, the production crew of the TV show “The Six Million Dollar Man” was filming scenes for an episode called “Carnival of Spies” inside the funhouse when a production assistant moved what he thought was a wax mannequin out of the way. The mannequin’s arm broke off, exposing human bones. Police were called.

Detectives worked hard to identify the remains, now thoroughly mummified.

Once his history had been traced, McCurdy was buried properly in Guthrie, Oklahoma, under two feet of concrete to ensure his wandering days were done, some 66 years after his death.

(continued from pg 3) The original Coexist logo was born from a long tradition of Polish design. Piotr Mlodozeniec's father was renowned Polish poster designer Jan Mlodozeniec.

The work is colorful and intentionally rough around the edges, a look that is part of a lively tradition of Polish poster making.

He's a member of a strong aesthetic and political tradition (as seen in his 1990 poster for Polish leader Lech Walesa). Studying under Polish poster designer Henryk Tomaszewski, he developed his own approach to graphic design, and it rarely looked like his famous The Coexist logo was created in 2000. When asked why he chose the coexist theme for his entry Mlodozeniec Coexist logo above said that the theme, "coexistence," was nice, but there were other reasons to enter too. "The prize was really good." I started to think about that, and I always work with letters. I started to write this 'coexistence' in many ways."

He soon pulled together a design that incorporated symbols and letters (a few years before, when he'd designed a logo for a rock band, he'd already used a Christian cross to substitute for a T). The logo he designed was one of the last works he showed to his father before Jan died in 2000.

Mlodozeniec's design didn't win first in the contest, but it did become part of a 20-poster touring exhibition. For viewers, it was the standout entry in Jerusalem and around the world. But for Mlodozeniec, it was one design of many — a successful one, but not one that was particularly notable.

"I have many themes," Mlodozenic says. "When

Page 6

Please Don’t Litter

I was doing this poster in 2000, I liked this meaning of the word, because it's obvious. ... I was really pleased that I did this in a universal way."

He couldn't guess that it would become a viral symbol.

"I don't know what will happen — if it will get power or die after two days," he says. "I was very pleased that they liked it so much, that they blow it up to this big size ... and then I forgot about this."

Five years later, though, Coexist came back.

In 2005, Mlodozeniec got a letter from a fashion label in the United States that was seeking his permission to use the Coexist logo. The company wanted that permission so it could sue another company for using the logo. He was confused —"I didn't know what was going on," he says. "They registered it as their own logo."

That year, Billboard summarized the conflict: A group of Indiana University students said they'd seen the Coexist logo floating around on the internet. They made some minor modifications and trademarked it for their own lifestyle brand.

Their T-shirts were a hit — on March 12, 2005, the Bloomington International Herald-Times said that the entrepreneurs spotted Ashton Kutcher wearing their logo. Its success helped one of their models earn a modeling contract, and it allowed the recent graduates to become fashion mini moguls. The T-shirts retailed for $50 or more.

But, with that success, came a need to protect the trademark. Charitably, the group may have had an overzealous legal team eager to protect a booming business. Less charitably, they fought to strangle an idea they didn't come up with.

Mlodozeniec became embroiled in the legal battles of some designers from a faraway place called "Indiana."

new random appendages and philosophic and religious associations.

When Mlodozeniec first saw the new bumper sticker design, he wasn't upset about copyright infringement. "They don't steal my own sign," he says, "but wanted to improve it and make it better." His problem with it wasn't legal but aesthetic. "It looked really poor and bad."

Now the new school of design faced its own legal issues from the Indiana luxury brand. Even today the Coexist seller is hesitant to speak on the record, because of the legal threats he faced in the mid-2000s.

With all this, Mlodozeniec suddenly found his own professional identity was tied to a range of Coexist logos, none of which represented his aesthetic — including the one he designed.

"I've worked as a graphic designer almost 36 years. What I do is rather different than this ascetic black and white, no letters, no color, nothing," he says. "This image Coexist is a little different from my genre, my style."

"Articles always talk about me as creator of the Coexist logo. ... I make a lot of stuff. Many of them are as good as this Coexist sign, but in my opinion, many of them are even better." Mlodozeniec has found that it's become more, not less, meaningful over time.

Today the Coexist logo legal battles are behind it and it is being used by new trademark owners to raise real money for change (not just make a profit for its sellers).

For Mlodozeniec, what began as a graphic design job became something more meaningful.

"In 2000, the situation was not so complicated. "Today," Mlodozeniec says, "Coexist is a must. You have to do it."

"They wrote to me and asked for help. I was really mad at this. Nobody asked me for permission," Mlodozeniec says, even though one of the co-founders told Newsday that Mlodozeniec had given them his blessing. Eventually he engaged his own lawyers to make sure the logo wasn't registered by others around the world.

By that point, the Coexist design was already a phenomenon. U2's Bono said he saw the symbol graffitied in Chicago, and he quickly made it a focal point of the band's 2005 Vertigo tour (it shows up on their DVD label as well).

As the Indiana Coexist contingent scrambled to get branded gear on Bono's head (or on merch tables for the rest of the tour), Mlodozeniec and the Museum of the Seam simply wanted an acknowledgment of the original designer. They eventually got it as a small credit in one of the DVD releases.

But by then, Mlodozeniec's elegant design had This artcile was derived from one found onliine at taken on a life of its own. The Coexist logo becomes a https://www.vox.com/2016/6/8/11867438/coexist-logocluttered mess. The Coexist logo metastasized, forming bumper-sticker.

A husband and wife were golfing when suddenly the wife asked, "Honey, if I died would you get married again?"

The husband said, "No sweetie." The woman said, "I'm sure you would." So the man said, "Okay, I would."

Then the woman asked, "Would you let her sleep in our bed?" And the man replied, "Ya, I guess so."

Then the wife asked, "Would you let her use my golf clubs?"

And the husband replied, "No, she's left handed."

I was playing with this 85-year-old man recently on a course that I was unfamiliar with. On the third hole, I asked him what's the best part of the fairway to be on, and he replied, "the top."

► If someone were to ask you to name the sunniest spot on Earth, you might be tempted to answer “the Sahara Desert” or some other such exotic place. You would be wrong, though; that distinction belongs to a town right here in America. Out of the possible 4,456 daylight hours each year, the sun shines for an average of 4,050 in Yuma, Arizona. That means that there’s cloud cover or rain for only about 10 percent of the time there.

► Guinness, that notoriously dark and bitter brew, contains fewer calories that skim milk or orange juice.

Stout for breakfast, anyone?

► In 2016, Michigan State University received a delivery of inedible mayonnaise -- the mayo had been frozen and thawed during transit, spoiling all 10,000 pounds of the condiment. Instead of just throwing it out, MSU decided to put the bad mayo to good use.

The campus already had an anaerobic digester -- a device that decomposes organic waste and converts it to methane -- so they poured in all 500 2.5-gallon tubs.

► When creating its cocoon, the silkworm spins a continuous thread more than a thousand yards long, or 12,000 times the length of its own body. To accomplish a comparable feat, a 6-foot-tall man would have to spin a thread that stretched unbroken for 15 miles.

► Statistics show that for every 71,000 skydiving jumps made, there is only one fatality. That might not seem surprising until you put it in context: You have a one in 20,000 chance of dying from a regular fall right here on solid ground.

► Those who study such things claim that the hair on people of European descent tends to whorl in a counterclockwise fashion, while on most Japanese people it whorls in the opposite direction.

► With an area of less than 1,000 square miles, the tiny Western European nation of Luxembourg is one of the smallest countries in the world, and it is the world’s only remaining sovereign Grand Duchy. Considering the country’s longstanding adherence to tradition, it is perhaps unsurprising that the national motto is “We want to remain what we are.”

► What we call coffee beans are actually the pits of the coffee beans.

► It’s hard to imagine what life was like before the widespread availability of refrigeration, isn’t it? Some people have decided to find out -- and you might be by: Samantha Weaver surprised at how many. Although 99.5% of all households in the United States have a refrigerator, that still means that more than 1.5 million households are fridge-less.

► The skateboard was invented in California in the 1950s by surfers who wanted to continue their favorite activity even when they weren’t in the water.

BATHS THROUGH HISTORY • The oldest bathtub ever discovered was made from fired clay found in the Bronze Age ruins of the palace of Knossos on Crete.

It dates to 1500 B.C. It sat next to one of the oldest water-flushed toilets ever found. The tub was filled and emptied by hand, having no drain.

• The Romans developed bathing as a central social habit around 300 B.C. By 500 A.D., Rome had around 900 public baths.

• The baths of Caracalla in Rome, built in 212 A.D., held 1,600 bathers at a time and covered 33 acres. The complex included hot, Helping New and cold, and warm baths, as well as steam rooms, Existing Businesses shops, and a library. They remained in use until an army severed the water supply in 537 A.D. • When the Black Plague wiped out much of Europe’s population in the mid1300s, bathing fell out of favor because people believed that bathing helped spread the +Custom Support disease.

• Franklin Pierce, the 14th U.S. President and Training (1853-1857), was the first to have a tub installed in the White House.

II • William Howard Taft was the heaviest I Wayne A. Blosberg PA U.S. president at 332 pounds. Early in his Accounting Services Bookkeeping administration he became stuck in the White Payroll Tax Planning & Preparation House bathtub, and subsequently had a larger one installed.

763-780-4015 • Around the year 250 B.C. in ancient 8338 Hwy 65 Spring Lake Park Syracuse, King Hiero wanted to have his old gold crown melted and made into a new crown.

However, he feared the jeweler would cut the pure gold with less expensive silver. The crown would still look the same, but the jeweler would NOW HIRING! be stealing the royal gold. Hiero asked Greek scientist Archimedes for help.
