Julie Odwell<br />
Hello Everyone,<br />
Welcome to this month's Issue of My<br />
Town <strong>Local</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong>. I must say<br />
that it is very encouraging to see so<br />
many new small businesses starting<br />
up in our area of the Northeast Kent<br />
Coast. When I see and hear these<br />
new business and shop owners talk<br />
about their excitement and<br />
trepidation on opening their new<br />
venture, it reminds me of what the<br />
late Steve Jobs once said, the Apple<br />
founder gave advice that hits home<br />
for many entrepreneurs. He said:<br />
Your time is short, don't waste it<br />
working on someone else's dream.<br />
Instead, focus on making your<br />
dream a reality. Keeping that in<br />
mind, I personally encourage you to<br />
help support and congratulate these<br />
new start ups, I know I certainly do.<br />
Until next month. Julie<br />

Your brain generates enough electricity to power<br />
a lightbulb<br />
Your brain contains about 100 billion microscopic<br />
cells called neurons. There are so many, it would<br />
take you over 3,000 years to count them all!<br />
Whenever you dream, laugh, think, see or move, it’s<br />
because minute chemical and electrical signals are<br />
racing between these neurons along billions of tiny<br />
neuron pathways. Incredibly, the activity in your<br />
brain never stops. Countless messages zip around<br />
inside it every second – just like a supercharged<br />
pinball machine. Your neurons create and send<br />
more messages than all the phones in the entire<br />
world. And while a single neuron generates only a<br />
very small amount of electricity, all your neurons<br />
together can produce enough energy to power a<br />
low-wattage light bulb. Imagine that!<br />

THINK BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD<br />
All too often we are tempted to download an app or program<br />
onto our computers, sadly this leaves you wide open to malicious<br />
viruses, malware, adware or numerous other unwanted infections<br />
on your computer to have to deal with afterwards. Staying safe,<br />
aware and vigilant when surfing the web is key and very crucial<br />
when downloading anything from the Internet.<br />
So, before you download that tempting app, think carefully and<br />
protect yourself. Here is a small checklist to follow and like always<br />
mentioned, if when in doubt, please seek help from professionals.<br />
1. Do you really need it?<br />
2. Are you 100% sure what you're downloading.<br />
3. Make sure your virus checker is up to date and working.<br />
4. Get recommendations from friends or trusted sources.<br />
5. Check Google, Bing or Yahoo - Top 3 search engines.<br />
6. Download from reputable sources.<br />
7. Don't download pirate apps, programs or software.<br />

TIMING IS EVERYTHING<br />
Marvin, was in the hospital on his death bed. The family called<br />
Marvin’s Preacher to be with him in his final moments. As the<br />
Preacher stood by the bed, Marvin’s condition seemed to<br />
deteriorate, and Marvin motioned for someone to quickly pass<br />
him a pen and paper. The Preacher quickly got a pen and paper<br />
and lovingly handed it to Marvin. But before he had a chance to<br />
read the note, Marvin died. The Preacher feeling that now wasn’t<br />
the right time to read it put the note in his jacket pocket. It was at<br />
the funeral while speaking that the Preacher suddenly<br />
remembered the note. Reaching deep into his pocket the<br />
Preacher said “and you know what, I suddenly remembered that<br />
right before Marvin died he handed me a note, and knowing<br />
Marvin I’m sure it was something inspiring that we can all gain from.<br />
With that introduction the Preacher ripped out the note and opened it.<br />
The note said “HEY, YOU ARE STANDING ON MY OXYGEN TUBE!”<br />

QUICK AND EASY LITTLE PIZZA<br />
You will need: Slices of Bread, Tomatoes, Cheese and bits of pepper and/or bacon etc.<br />
Get a slice of bread and apply a little pressure to the middle to flatten it slightly. Peel the<br />
tomatoes and cut them into small pieces. Put the tomato pieces on the bread, next put on<br />
the cheese. Now put the peppers and/or bacon on. Put the uncooked pizzas in microwave<br />
for about 90sec. (or maybe 2min. max). You now have your little pizzas ready. Wait a couple<br />
of minutes before you eat them.<br />
