When you buy corn on the cob, avoid ears with black or dry corn silk or kernels with indentations, because those are signs that the corn is drying out and has lost sweetness. One large ear of sweet, yellow corn boiled without salt has 113 calories, 4 grams of protein and 1.8 grams of total fat.
In the year leading up to Vincent Van Gogh's death (1890), he had fits of despair and hallucinations. On July 27, 1890, Van Gogh shot himself in the chest with a revolver. The bullet passed through his chest without doing major damage to his internal organs. Van Gogh was rushed to the hospital and died the next day of an untreated infection. His death is generally accepted as a suicide.
Van Goghâs sister-in-law played a role in his posthumous fame. Jo van Gogh-Bonger with her son, Vincent. In January 1891, six months after van Goghâs death, his brother Theo, whoâd contracted syphilis, died at age 34 in the Netherlands. Theoâs widow, Jo van Gogh-Bonger, inherited a large collection of Vincentâs paintings, drawings and letters.
