Ah, the joys of the fax machine! This surprisingly old technology (patented in 1843) is still holding its own in offices worldwide (consuming about 200 billion pieces of paper per year), despite the advent of the Internet and e-mail. So why is it still around?

New research published in the journal Annals of Neurology focused on an area of the hippocampus - the “dentate gyrus” - that is responsible for age-related memory decline. The researchers conducted brain scans on humans and animals, and found that reduced activity in this memory center was closely linked to blood sugar. What’s more, they found that it doesn’t take off-the-charts levels of blood sugar or the presence of diabetes to damage the dentate gyrus.

So make sure you test everything - your site, your products, your store - to make sure it works as it’s meant to. Better yet, have a friend, your spouse, and your grandma test things out for you. Get them to report back on what works, what doesn’t, what’s missing, and what’s superfluous. You’ll end up with a better product/site/whatever - and your customers will have a much better experience.

During the winter months, your kids are at greater risk for catching a cold or the flu from their classmates. You can help keep their immune systems strong with vitamin C and cod liver oil. Unfortunately, this isn’t 100 percent effective. Kids can still get sick.
