April 2015 - Issue 48 Page 2 

Julie Odwell 

Hello Everyone, 

Welcome to this month's Issue of My 

Town Local Magazine. I must say 

that it is very encouraging to see so 

many new small businesses starting 

up in our area of the Northeast Kent 

Coast. When I see and hear these 

new business and shop owners talk 

about their excitement and 

trepidation on opening their new 

venture, it reminds me of what the 

late Steve Jobs once said, the Apple 

founder gave advice that hits home 

for many entrepreneurs. He said: 

Your time is short, don't waste it 

working on someone else's dream. 

Instead, focus on making your 

dream a reality. Keeping that in 

mind, I personally encourage you to 

help support and congratulate these 

new start ups, I know I certainly do. 

Until next month. Julie

Your brain generates enough electricity to power 

a lightbulb 

Your brain contains about 100 billion microscopic 

cells called neurons. There are so many, it would 

take you over 3,000 years to count them all! 

Whenever you dream, laugh, think, see or move, it’s 

because minute chemical and electrical signals are 

racing between these neurons along billions of tiny 

neuron pathways. Incredibly, the activity in your 

brain never stops. Countless messages zip around 

inside it every second – just like a supercharged 

pinball machine. Your neurons create and send 

more messages than all the phones in the entire 

world. And while a single neuron generates only a 

very small amount of electricity, all your neurons 

together can produce enough energy to power a 

low-wattage light bulb. Imagine that!

THINK BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD 

All too often we are tempted to download an app or program 

onto our computers, sadly this leaves you wide open to malicious 

viruses, malware, adware or numerous other unwanted infections 

on your computer to have to deal with afterwards. Staying safe, 

aware and vigilant when surfing the web is key and very crucial 

when downloading anything from the Internet. 

So, before you download that tempting app, think carefully and 

protect yourself. Here is a small checklist to follow and like always 

mentioned, if when in doubt, please seek help from professionals. 

1. Do you really need it? 

2. Are you 100% sure what you're downloading. 

3. Make sure your virus checker is up to date and working. 

4. Get recommendations from friends or trusted sources. 

5. Check Google, Bing or Yahoo - Top 3 search engines. 

6. Download from reputable sources. 

7. Don't download pirate apps, programs or software.

TIMING IS EVERYTHING 

Marvin, was in the hospital on his death bed. The family called 

Marvin’s Preacher to be with him in his final moments. As the 

Preacher stood by the bed, Marvin’s condition seemed to 

deteriorate, and Marvin motioned for someone to quickly pass 

him a pen and paper. The Preacher quickly got a pen and paper 

and lovingly handed it to Marvin. But before he had a chance to 

read the note, Marvin died. The Preacher feeling that now wasn’t 

the right time to read it put the note in his jacket pocket. It was at 

the funeral while speaking that the Preacher suddenly 

remembered the note. Reaching deep into his pocket the 

Preacher said “and you know what, I suddenly remembered that 

right before Marvin died he handed me a note, and knowing 

Marvin I’m sure it was something inspiring that we can all gain from. 

With that introduction the Preacher ripped out the note and opened it. 

The note said “HEY, YOU ARE STANDING ON MY OXYGEN TUBE!”

QUICK AND EASY LITTLE PIZZA 

You will need: Slices of Bread, Tomatoes, Cheese and bits of pepper and/or bacon etc. 

Get a slice of bread and apply a little pressure to the middle to flatten it slightly. Peel the 

tomatoes and cut them into small pieces. Put the tomato pieces on the bread, next put on 

the cheese. Now put the peppers and/or bacon on. Put the uncooked pizzas in microwave 

for about 90sec. (or maybe 2min. max). You now have your little pizzas ready. Wait a couple 

of minutes before you eat them.
