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.
Vincent van Gogh painted over 30 self-portraits between the years 1886 and 1889. His collection of self-portraits places him among the most prolific self-portraitists of all time. Van Gogh used portrait painting as a method of introspection, a method to make money and a method of developing his skills as an artist. When Van Gogh first began painting he used peasants as models.
