This is from the cutest book about Russia I own.
Aww Yuri I will never tire of your cuteness
aw X3
Russian Yuri Gagarin went into space in the early 1960s and orbited our planet once and then returned. When he came back from that historic trip, Yuri unfortunately experienced symptoms of depression, diminished metabolism, reduced perception, bone tissue loss, and even muscle tissue deterioration. Yuri was only without the Pulsing ElectroMagnetic Field of Earth for one hour and forty-eight minutes. After Yuri’s illnesses, research has confirmed human cells deprived of pulsed magnetic fields will die very quickly. PEMF is absolutely a vital element of human life; in fact many researchers have started referring to PEMF as “The Fifth Element.” Along with food, water, oxygen and sleep, the body needs PEMF to survive.Studies have demonstrated that the average voltage of a normal, healthy, human cell is between 70 and 110 millivolts. Researchers have also discovered that when a person gets sick, the voltage of their cells drop drastically and is usually about 50 millivolts or even less. And serious conditions can cause the voltage of cells to drop even more - to 30 millivolts or less. PEMF therapy recharges those sick or otherwise unhealthy cells, back up to a healthier 70 to 110 millivolts.

This Is Why You Fall in Love With Brands
It’s all too easy in our society to mock a person who forms brand relationships. Many charge that brand connections are dysfunctional in that they promote materialism, self-indulgence, and selfishness; and that consumers who engage in them are illogical, irrational, misguided and misinformed. This critique denies the very culture in which we live. Ours is a culture that is very much defined by consumption. In the U.S., the number one export is branded merchandise, both in the form of products and celebrities. We can critique this and lament the consequences, or we can embrace it and understand it for what it is. Are Obama’s supporters bad for society? Does love of the iPhone degenerate culture? In a foreign environment, is it dysfunctional to seek the refuge of a familiar brand?
Brands are a part of life in the 21st century. Consumers and academics must understand what this means and, at the same time, not take things too far. For example, despite research that demonstrates over and again that relationships are merely facilitators, some continue to reify brands and brand relationships. But a strong relationship develops by supporting people in living their lives, not by driving brand involvement. As I like to say, “It’s about the people, stupid.”
