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.

This self portrait, painted before Van Gogh's move to Paris, is typical of his earlier paintings. The dark earthy tones, which are characteristic of traditional Dutch painting, are used to create an image of humble dignity.
