NASA has classified Snake plant, now called Dracaena, as an air purifier due to its ability to remove toxic compounds such as benzene, formaldehyde, trichloroethylene, xylene and toluene.
This plant uses the acid metabolism of the Crassulacee to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide, enabling it to resist drought.
The microscopic pores on its leaves, called stomata, open only at night to limit water loss through transpiration in the heat of the sun.
Unlike other plants, Snake plant produces oxygen and absorbs carbon dioxide at night, making it an excellent indoor air purifier while we sleep.

What actor is an expert on a non-acting subject? How so?

Danny Kaye was one of the most successful actors and comedians of his time, and a genuine polymath. He once said “Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint you can at it.” And that’s precisely what he did.

He was almost entirely self-taught in a number of complex disciplines to the point where, if he had actually wanted to formally pursue any of them as a career, he could have done so.

At a young age he became fascinated by medicine and surgery. He grew up poor, and when his mother died when he was a young teen, Danny (born David Daniel Kaminsky) had to quit high school to get a job, so going to college and medical school was out of the question. But he read medical books, and as his success and fame in the entertainment world grew, he befriended a great many doctors, including one of the preeminent heart surgeons of the day, Dr. Michael DeBakey, whom he would pepper with well-informed questions.

Kaye would often go to hospitals to observe surgeries from the viewing gallery, and on a number of occasions, he would be allowed to stand amongst the doctors and nurses as they performed the procedures, and at least a few times he was allowed to help sew the sutures into the patients! He spoke with such knowledge about medical science, many doctors invariably asked him which medical school he had attended. Ultimately, Kaye was given honorary memberships in both the American College of Surgeons and the American Academy of Pediatrics.

He took up golf for relaxation and exercise, and became so good at it, many professionals said he could have gone pro and won big prize money. He eventually gave up playing because it wasn’t enough of a challenge for him, and thus was not the diversion from other cares that he sought.

He became interested in flying, got his pilot’s license, and proceeded to master flying virtually every type of plane available, up to and including jumbo passenger jetliners.

Although he never completed high school, he was self-taught in business, and personally oversaw a number of highly lucrative investments, including radio stations, a recording studio, and part ownership of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team.

He had a lifelong interest in cooking, and later in his life he studied the art of Chinese cooking. I don’t mean the Chinese you get at your local carryout, but rather genuine traditional cuisine. He trained under professional Mandarin chefs in San Francisco, and was so enthusiastic about his cooking, he had elaborate Chinese kitchens built into his home in California, and another in his apartment in New York City.

Additionally, in his California home, he had built, adjacent to the kitchen, a complete Chinese restaurant, and he would invite guests over for dinners which he would prepare himself from scratch, served by Chinese waitresses hired for the evening. He became so well versed in the art that eventually he was sought out to teach others how to properly prepare traditional dishes. Kaye’s cooking was so highly regarded, he remains to this day the only non-professional chef to receive the prestigious Un des Meilleurs Ouvriers de France honor.

His longtime charitable work with UNICEF (United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund) was very nearly as well known in the 1950s and 1960s as his entertainment successes. He wasn’t simply the celebrity face of the organization…he threw himself into the work, traveled the world, helped raise millions of dollars in donations, and intimately educated himself about just about every facet of the organization and its mission.

When UNICEF received the Nobel Peace Prize, the United Nations asked Kaye to be the one to accept it and make the formal speech.

Danny Kaye tends to be a forgotten figure today, a hazily-remembered movie comic at most, recalled best when White Christmas comes on TV. But he was without a doubt one of the most fascinating individuals of his time.

GCH Highland Rim Morning Star Over Monte Sano … (Cab Calloway & China)aka: Lucifer or Louie to his family and friends. Louie went two for two this week in Canfield, OH taking BOB both days he was entered. This happy youngster (17 months )wins hearts wherever he goes particularly when flashing his devilish smile and stealing kisses from his handler and favorite gal, Kendra Williams. Cyndi Kamhieh and I are delighted with the trajectory of Louie’s career. Louie was awarded WD, BOW, BP in the RRCUS National Specialty last Oct. at 8 months of age. Kendra taught him the ropes and an absolute “love of the game”. While at home growing up last winter “Lucifer” earned his name by giving Cyndi a handful of “grin and bear it” teenage moments in the ring. But he also turned on the Morning Star charm and together they captured several OH BOBs, OH Group Placements and a prized OHBIS. We anticipate that from time to time this aptly named fellow will strive to keep us humble… he also makes this breeder extremely proud! ❤️

Uncle and Nephew… we call it “ bite-face” … it is an essential way that all canines play and also one of the ways they learn limits and what is also called “bite inhibition” which is how to use their mouths without inflicting injury…important for puppies and young dogs to learn from adults who are well tempered and well socialized.

"It's really up to us to take responsibility for being the kind of human that our dogs love to follow, love to listen to, and love to partner with..."
~Kathy Kawalec

When I think of mastering living in partnership with my dogs, I'm not thinking about how obedient they are, or how I can become better at manipulating their behavior so they are more compliant, or how I can create bigger and better payouts to reward them for their 'good' behavior.

I'm thinking about how I can better make choices that help us both to feel more safe, which leads to feeling calm and feeling happy. I'm thinking about how I can be the role model for leading with respect, kindness, and clarity ... and how I can better model cooperation by being cooperative first.

I'm thinking about how I can better understand my dog, and my self, so that I can more easily and more consistently be the leading co-regulator and the loving role model and guide that my dog needs.

My desire is to pursue mastery of how to love without condition, and how to more clearly show my dog how strongly I believe in our interspecies cooperation, and that:
.. together, we can do anything! 🐾👣💞

FEEDING DRY PET FOOD OR TREATS? WHY YOU SHOULD BE ADDING THIS VEGETABLE TO THEIR DOG’S DIET! 🥕🐶

Pet food companies all around the globe are struggling to control mold levels🧫 in dry and canned pet food, with dozens of lawsuits developing over pet deaths.

Pets that eat food containing unsafe levels of these molds are highly susceptible to aflatoxin poisoning. These fungal toxins not only can cause organ damage and immune problems, consumption of aflatoxins has been associated with increased risk of developing liver cancer!

One easy way to counteract the harmful effects of aflatoxins is to feed apiaceous vegetables such as carrots.🥕 Carrots contain polyacetylenes, an unusual class of compounds that play an important role in detoxifying several cancer-causing substances, specifically these AFLATOXINS.

Eliminating aflatoxins from your dog’s body can be really difficult but serving up carrots is a great way to enhance the metabolism of these toxic compounds!

💁🏻‍♂️HOW TO FEED: Raw or cooked, carrots make great training treats or can be minced and added in with your dog’s food. Chop carrots into a bite-size pieces appropriate for your dog’s size. The green leaves of carrots can also be fed for an added boost of antioxidants and nutrients.

In our book The Forever Dog we give you several lists of other great foods to feed for various reasons (anti-inflammatory, antioxidants, cognition and more) plus how much to feed to ensure you keep your pup’s nutrition in balance. www.foreverdog.com
