Kennedy's Blog

OK have you made your pledges? Have you finally decided what you are going to achieve this year in 2010? Yes we are now already into the next decade (thought I would remind you, as the last decade did go in a puff!) We hardly noticed the noughties’, that means (2000-2009) by the way. What did you achieve?

 

Here's the view today from Kennedy's office office in Kent!

I guess you have all heard of Linkedin and Twitter and I remember writing about the false 'friends' that I had from Face book last year. Yes, I did close that account in the end. Last week our wonderful distributor came over to our offices for our monthly chat and when over lunch she said "Angus you have to have a Twitter account."

I guess most of you either already have one or have decided not to bother as you have got so many things to do like renew your essential subscription to Kennedy's and all that. Well, officially, I am a Twit, or a Tweeter with Tweets or right now quite honestly trying to find rather unexciting play on words, which is just not working. So feeling like a genuine TWIT, Kennedy's has now started its very own Twitter account, of which it's my duty to tell you everything we or moreover I do. I even have to add details like what I spread on my toast in the morning and what colour loo roll we have in the toilet.

According to a study carried out by the Institute of Development, Aging and Cancer of Tohoku University, Japan and Morinaga & Co. snacking and egg breaking stimulate the prefrontal area of the brain. This area is responsible for ability to think, creativity, motivation, concentration power and the ability to learn and communicate. Ok, so far so good

The study measured the flow of blood flow supplying the prefrontal area of 43 children from kindergarten to sixth form while they made cakes and other snacks with their parents. The study, rather predictably revealed that the prefrontal area became more active when the children used mix cake dough’s with their parents. It failed to say that the area would probably be stimulated anyway if they played with play dough or emptied a packet of Corn Flakes on the floor and jumped on the pieces
