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.
Like van Gogh, Schubert was exceptionally prolific in his short life as a classical composer (he died at the age of 31, just one year after the death of his contemporary, Beethoven). Also similarly to van Gogh, Schubert's works were of little interest to those of his age, and considered inferior to Bach and Beethoven.
