Amaranthus
A treasured ancient food staple of Mexico and South America, with
edible leaves and an abundance of protein rich seeds produced in long
season areas, it also serves admirably as a cut flower and adds drama to
the back of the border.
Amaranth Advantage
Botanical name: Amaranthus
Amaranth Nutrition Facts
Cultivated by the Aztecs 8,000 years ago and still a native crop in Peru, the ancient history of amaranth can be traced to Mexico and the Yucatan Peninsula. Today, it's grown in Africa, India, China, Russia, throughout South America, and emerging once again in North America.
Somewhat of an unknown quantity to many, amaranth is tall - often six feet – with broad green leaves, bright red or gold flowers, and around 60 different species. The flowers are made up of miniscule, grain-like buds, one reason why this plant often falls into the "grain" category. But amaranth isn't technically a grain like oats, wheat, or rice. It's sometimes referred to as a "pseudo-cereal" because its nutritional profile is very similar.
One of the most important aspects of this tiny grain is that it's gluten-free. When ground, the flour is generally a pale ivory shade, although the red "buds" can be ground as well for a red-tinged and very healthful grain.

AA
One
Sunday, my husband went to the barber. When I came back to the car, a
man parked next to me asked me if I could jump start this car for him. I
said, I can't, but he he would wait for my husband. He waited. My
husband arrived and helped him.
I join the AA, so I can call the AA if my battery goes flat.
I love this AA recovery truck. It is a life saver. I have used him when I had absent minded forgot to turn off the lights on a rainy or misty morning. Once I had to wait for two hours in a cold dark winter dusk. Not very nice.

IV
Intravenous therapy (IV) is a therapy that delivers liquid substances directly into a vein (intra- + ven- + -ous). The intravenous route of administration can be used for injections (with a syringe at higher pressures) or infusions (typically using only the pressure supplied by gravity). Intravenous infusions are commonly referred to as drips. The intravenous route is the fastest way to deliver medications and fluid replacement throughout the body, because the circulation carries them. Intravenous therapy may be used for fluid replacement (such as correcting dehydration), to correct electrolyte imbalances, to deliver medications, and for blood transfusions.
You may say my family is a funny lot.
Ann, your brother here is a regular blood donor. The blood bank calls him almost every month. The machine is so high tech, it can harvest the blood component needed (platelet) only
Happiness is being able to help others.
Here is my little bro Dr Henry Chan doing the honourable thing. I wrote in my book from China to Borneo to China were back in the 1960s, donating blood was not the done thing.
In 1968, my grandma had kidney surgery. We paid two trishaw men. She was in Sibu, the surgery was in Kapit, the boat ride was almost a whole day. We paid for their boat ride, hotel and food. and I can't remember if it was an ang bao of $150 or $200 per person.
Grandma told us, there were 2 men, one was an old hand in blood "donation". The young one was a novice, he came to see grandma, clutching her hand, and telling her, he was doing it to save her.
10 yrs later, I went to Canada and donated blood. My two bros followed suit. My aunties scolded us and reminded that we had to pay for grandma's surgery.
The funny thing was the Sarawak blood technician asked me if I minded if they give my blood to a non Chinese. I just told him to give it to whoever needed it.

NATIONAL
GRIEF AWARENESS DAY. When a loved one dies, the void they leave affects
everyone differently. On August 30, National Grief Awareness Day
recognizes the time it takes to heal from loss doesn't have a prescribed course
and is a reminder closure comes in many forms.

cliches, and the stigma surrounding grief.
