gelato, stateside, forage, scrounging, St. John's wort,

Like many undergrads, Angela Lorenz ’87 found her first campus job at the Sharpe Refectory. Twenty-eight years later, she’s back. This time she’s scooping gelato.
She and her husband, gelato maker Gianni Figliomeni, own a shop in Bologna, Italy, called Il Gelatauro, a play on the Italian word for “minotaur.” Though his confection is renowned in Italy, its stateside debut came on March 16 in the Ratty Bakeshop, where he and Lorenz gave a three-day series of master classes to a small group of students.

Lorenz '87 and her husband, Gianni Figliomeni, serve gelato to eager students at Sharpe Refectory.

Pesky immigrants. They move to Britain, taking jobs, scrounging welfare benefits, straining health services, overrunning local schools and occupying state-subsidised housing. That, at least, is the story recounted by politicians from UKIP and, increasingly, by members of the Conservative Party. A new study by two economists tells a very different tale http://econ.st/1uFPT5u

Urban foragers go dumpster diving in Amsterdam


Once upon a time you dressed so fine,
Threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you ?
People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall,"
You thought they were all a'kiddin' you.
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out.
Now you don't talk so loud,
Now you don't seem so proud,
About having to be scrounging your next meal.



 Nor should they add any drug or supplement to a prescribed regimen without first consulting a doctor. Even something as seemingly innocent as ibuprofen, acetaminophen, St. John's wort or an antihistamine purchased over the counter can sometimes lead to dangerous adverse reactions when combined with certain prescribed medications or pre-existing health problems.
 對於添加任何藥物或補充規定的治療方案,他們也不應該不先諮詢醫生。即使是一些看似無辜的布洛芬,對乙酰氨基酚,聖約翰,或在櫃檯購買一種抗組胺劑,結合一定的處方藥,或預先存在的健康問題時,有時會導致危險的不良反應。
