9、eries of massive thunder storms hit our area recently, causing flash flooding and knocking down tree branches and even trees. I had spent the afternoon picking up branches out of my yard and throwing them away. Then just before I was getting ready to take my dogs for their last walk of the day, the
10、warnings came on my television and over my phone that another of these storms was heading our way. I quickly took my dogs outside. Huge clouds were rolling in while thunder boomed over the hills. I knew that the stars were shining but I certainly couldnt see them. The darkness seemed darker and scar
11、ier than usual because I knew what was on the way. That was when I saw it. The tiniest blink of light, up high, at the far end of the grassland behind my house. I smiled. The first of the fireflies had appeared for the summer at just the time I needed to see his light. Soon a few others were blinkin
12、g their lights as well. It amazed me how far their light traveled in the darkness of the night and how they didnt seem bothered at all by the approaching storm. I spent an extra few minutes watching my lightening bug friends and taking in their message of light before heading in to get ready for the
13、 storm. As I did, though, I noticed that the darkness no longer seemed so scary and that my fear had been replaced with joy. Life does have its share of storms, some caused by nature and some caused by us. We cant go through life being scared of them, however. Take a lesson from the fireflies then.

17、 seem a drag, but researchers have suggested tasks like dusting, sweeping floors and washing the windows might help adults to stay healthy into old age. Writing in the journal BMJ Open, a Singapore-based team of researchers said regular physical activity “improves physical and mental health, and rel
18、ieves the risks and effects of chronic diseases among older adults”.The team randomly chose adults from the town of Yishun in Singapore, and asked them to complete cognitive function tests as well as activities to assess their physical capabilities, such as standing up from a chair as quickly as the
19、y could. Participants were also quizzed on their levels of physical activity, including the amount of light housework and heavy housework they did, and were assessed for their risk of having a fall based on measures such as knee extension strength. The study involved 249 participants aged 21-64 and
20、240 participants aged 65- 90. Most of those who reported doing high levels of heavy or light housework were women.After taking into account factors including age and sex, the team found cognitive scores and attention scores were 8% and 14% higher respectively for older adults doing high amounts of h
21、eavy housework on average 131 minutes a week compared with low levels, which appeared to amount to none at all.

22、Shiou-Liang Wee, the co-author of the research, said health messaging on staying active should not just be about recreational physical activities. “Housework is a purposeful activity performed by many older adults.

Whether its a strange color, has sp
26、ots, or is a strange shape, you wonder how it made it onto the shelves. Who would buy and eat this? Most people would not buy ugly produce. That is why it is rare to see ugly-shaped fruit or off-colored vegetables. So what happens to this produce?Data have shown that 20%40% of fruits and vegetables
27、are rejected even before they reach grocery stores. And even more are rejected on site, because grocery stores and companies have incredibly high standards for what their produce should look like. That includes color, shape, size, weight, and length. And the food that doesnt meet these standards is
28、thrown away. There are incredibly strict laws about food donation that actually makes it illegal to donate food that doesnt meet standards that are similar to those of the grocery store as well as laws that restrict this food from being used as animal feed.Besides, 10% of rich countries greenhouse g
