Recently we appointed a new workshop manger. He is a young fellow with lots of energy and enthusiasm. The picture opposite shows him reclining in his office chair discussing what constitutes a good walk; he believes that jumping into every puddle he comes across as the right and proper way to go about things! He may be right, but it leads to a lot of wet clothes that her in doors is starting to complain about having to wash.

Jamie Oliver’s TED Prize wish: Teach every child about food
Why you should listen to him:
Jamie Oliver has been drawn to the kitchen since he was a child working in his father’s pub-restaurant. He showed not only a precocious culinary talent but also a passion for creating (and talking about) fresh, honest, delicious food. In the past decade, the shaggy-haired “Naked Chef” of late-’90s BBC2 has built a worldwide media conglomerate of TV shows, books, cookware and magazines, all based on a formula of simple, unpretentious food that invites everyone to get busy in the kitchen. And as much as his cooking is generous, so is his business model — his Fifteen Foundation, for instance, trains young chefs from challenged backgrounds to run four of his restaurants.
Now, Oliver is using his fame and charm to bring attention to the changes that Brits and Americans need to make in their lifestyles and diet. Campaigns such as Jamie’s School Dinner, Ministry of Food and Food Revolution USA combine Oliver’s culinary tools, cookbooks and television, with serious activism and community organizing — to create change on both the individual and governmental level.

Quotes by Jamie Oliver
“Your child will live a life ten years younger than you because of the landscape of food that we’ve built around them.”

Why Pistachios Are Good for Your Gut from “Real Age”
A pistachio is like Jack Nicholson’s character Randle McMurphy in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”: a nut with a hard shell covering a center of genuine goodness.
An interesting study reveals the amount of healthful bacteria in the poop of people who ate pistachios compared to that of people who ate other nuts or none at all. Pistachios came out the winner for promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria (probiotics) in the digestive tract. Almonds ranked No. 2 (no pun intended).
What’s so special about this little green seed? It’s packed with dietary fiber and nutrients such as B6, thiamin, manganese, and copper. Bacteria in our guts — necessary for a healthy digestive and immune system — dine happily on that mixture.
Aaaa-choo! Learn how probiotics can help your allergies, too.
Gut bacteria are a hungry lot. Five hundred to 1,000 species of bacteria live in our intestines (the total count of bacteria inside you is in the trillions). This community can make up 3 to 5 pounds of your body weight and about 60% of the solid matter in your feces. That’s why you need to constantly replenish and nurture your intestinal flora (such a pretty-sounding word for the bacteria that lives inside us).
So, have a handful of pistachios (1 ounce is 160 calories) in place of a nutrient-empty snack, such as chips or soda, and you’ll crack the secret to better digestive health. (By the way, eating a handful of walnuts 30 minutes before a meal can help you lose weight.)

These two stories will jerk at your heart strings! Get the tissues ready!
An old man lived alone in Minnesota. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hardwork. His only son, who would have helped him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his situation:
Dear Son,
I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my potato garden this year. I hate to miss doing the garden because your mother always loved planting time. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me, if you weren’t in prison.
Love,
Dad
Shortly, the old man received this telegram: ‘For Heaven’s sake, Dad, don’t dig up the garden!! That’s where I buried the GUNS!!’
At 4 a.m. the next morning, a dozen FBI…
