text: Farm Founded in 1995 Our story starts back in January of 1995—a time when family farms were on the brink of extinction. There was only a handful of organic farmers left in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley which shared a love for the land. We We also shared the belief that a new, sustainable approach to agriculture could help family farms and rural communities survive. Folks back then, just like you today, were concerned with food quality and environmental issues. They were looking for more natural, nutritious food—food grown without synthetic and potentially harmful pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. realized that most of the local produce was being processed and distributed through government packing houses. The produce is often layered with wax preservatives for longer storage life and eventually reaching the consumer months later. Many farmers began picking their crops fresh, packing it up in their trucks and driving further away from the Okanagan Valley to share all this delicious organic produce with new communities. After a couple years of pop-up fruit stands and travelling all over British Columbia, including many communities on the Gulf Islands, it became a sustainable business to grow and deliver their own crops. A truly great feeling, and all the hard work pays off. Alas, the Farmers Markets are buzzing and many of us have the opportunity to eat organic fresh produce. Unfortunately, many fruits and vegetables are seasonal in BC which leaves an unhealthy gap in our diet and nutrition. Veden has set a mission to recover those lost months by collectively sourcing ingredients from organic farmers across British Columbia and some! Taking full advantage of the exciting new Far-Infrared Technology, Veden was created to make organic plant-based nutrition accessible and affordable for anyone!! While the Farmers Market communities continued to blossom, we began growing a variety of fruits, vegetables, seeds and herbs to blend up smoothies at our booth.

Josephine Key is a neuro-musculo-skeletal physiotherapist with over 45 years in clinical practice – of which the last 30 years or so have been devoted to seeking a better understanding of the spine in health – and its dis-ease. She gained a Post Graduate Diploma in Manipulative Therapy from Sydney University in 1984.
The evolution of her model of care, The Key Moves® Programme of Therapeutic Exercise and Movement, is the result of evaluating and integrating the available movement and neuroscience; the ample evidence gleaned from clinical practice; the exploration and evaluation of various movement disciplines (Body Mind Centering; various forms of Yoga; Somatics; Feldenkrais; Pilates; Gyrotonic, streams within the fitness industry) – for what they offer in terms of healthy spinal control – or otherwise. Josephine is increasingly exploring the felt sense of movement and the ability to exploit neuro-plastic change – ‘retraining our brain’ to organise healthier movement patterns and better biomechanics.
She has developed and continues to refine classes for spinal health – to help clients move without pain and gain enhanced function. Presently, her practice conducts over 40 ‘Key Moves’® classes a week. This unique programme has been running for over 16 years. Central to it is the re-establishment of important key Fundamental Patterns of Control – which also provide a vehicle to access restrictions in the fascial system, help to rebalance the muscular and nervous systems and restore optimal joint and soft tissue loading, It represents a paradigm shift for exercise therapy for the spine – both therapeutic and preventative.
Josephine has had a number of papers published on her work in the international peer reviewed journal, Bodywork and Movement Therapy. Her paper “The Core: Understanding it and retraining it’d dysfunction” was one of the journal’s five most downloaded papers in 2014.
She is the author of the text book BACK PAIN: A movement problem. A clinical approach incorporating relevant research and practice – published by Elsevier, Edinburgh in 2010.
She has presented at the International World Congress on Low Back and Pelvic Pain in 2007, 2010 & 2013; the Fascia Research Congress in 2009, 2012 & 2015; The Physiotherapy New Zealand Conference 2014. She conducts workshops nationally and internationally for physiotherapists and interdisciplinary manual therapists and movement teachers.

Went to Sweeps – we had intended to go by train but decided at the last minute to drive down. We parked up the car near this rather splendid Morris Minor and walked round to the High Street. I don’t know if we arrived at just the wrong time but there didn’t seem to be many Morris dancers about but we watched a couple of sides until Ben moaned so much we decided to head off to the Castle grounds.
After watching him playing in the Moat for a while we wandered back down to the High Street to grab something to eat. We sat on the wall by the War Memorial eating and were constantly being bumped and jostled by people climbing onto the wall so they could get past the side that were dancing – don’t see the point of coming down the sweeps if you don’t have the patience to stand and watch the Morris Dancers. After lunch we decided to head back to the Castle grounds and take Ben on some of the rides at the fair.
We actually ended up staying in the castle grounds for most of the rest of the afternoon. As we arrived Galley beggar were just finishing off their set and they were followed by an American Singer called Jerry Harmon who sounded quite good above the din of the funfair! Later was we sat watching Ben trying out circus skills Ian Cutler and Hot Rats finished off the days’s music on the stage (which was the one we had at SoL last year).
Ben got a new hat at one of the stalls and I had a good rummage in the record fayre – there were lots of things I would love to buy but everything is so expensive these days – the new 180g pressings cost around £20 a time and even old stuff goes for about a fiver! There were a few in the box that I knew I had already and I almost bought Magic in the Air by Lindisfarne as I saw them on the Christmas run that year (1977) at Newcastle City Hall but I couldn’t put my hand on my heart and say for certain that I didn’t already have it in the storage box with my other records so I didn’t but it – just in case! I did however buy a vinyl copy of George Harrison’s All things must pass which cost £5 for a 3 record box set. The discs looked in reasonable condition although it was difficult to tell without playing them! I did notice though that the set was sold off by Westminster Libraries for 1p at some point in the past! It felt weird wandering home with a vinyl album under my arm after all these years!

Emma is a dramaturg and producer who likes a good narrative and making lists. Her parents gave her a Wendy House for her fourth birthday and she spent much of her childhood playing in Neverland. She's grateful that the stories never stopped. She loves dogs, cooking, and her family, and is highly addicted to television.
The scope of theatre in Toronto is greater than we give it credit for when we’re in our cups, tipsy, and bitching. But it’s when you’re at that place (cups, tipsy, bitching, etc.) that you can get to the heart of what you wish you’d seen.

Menopause Advantage Reserveage Nutrition is a natural supplement designed to restore hormonal balance in the female body. According to the manufacturer, the active ingredients in this particular product have the ability to calm the body as it goes through hormonal changes, and support the cell youth. In regards to the specific side effects it can address, Menopause Advantage Reserveage Nutrition is designed to reduce the intensity and occurrence of hot flashes.
We wanted to learn more about this product, especially since this company has received many accolades from women’s wellness magazines.
What Does Menopause Advantage Reserveage Nutrition Contain?
We notice some great phytonutrients being included in this formula. Some proprietary blends are present, as well, but we cannot say, hand on heart, that Menopause Advantage – Reserveage Nutrition is a complete product. There are many herbal extracts that we do not see here, such as chaste berry, valerian root, or the best support for menopause supplements, ammonium succinate. Other products on the market may be more efficient than this one.
The recommended dosage is two pills daily.
A bottle with 60 capsules costs 30.49USD, which is in the same price range with similar products.
We were unable to identify details on their refund policy on the manufacturer’s website, so any issue you may have must be addressed directly with their representatives.
Menopause Advantage – Reserveage Nutrition sounds like a good, reliable product. However, for the price, we would have loved to see more active ingredients being included in the formula. While black cohosh and dong quai are both great herbal extracts used traditionally in treating the symptoms of menopause, others could have been added for a more potent effect.
Jackie Horowitz	reviewed Menopause Advantage	on April 1st	 and gave it a rating of 2.

Style and substance combine as one of the longest standing news apps improves year on year. Flipboard curates the news you want by watching what you read and offering similar stories. The layout is based on easy to navigate panels giving each user access to their own personal news magazine. With this app, the more you play with it, the more effective it becomes. Aggregating a ton of sources, you can be selective by news type or provider. If it pulls up something you aren’t a fan of, you can ‘less like this’ and the system will learn.
iPhone and iPad users will no doubt see the odd news story when they swipe right from the home screen but Apples News app is a decent offering if you take the time to curate what you want to see. You can select the sources you want to accept stories from and then they will filter through to your notification centre. You aren’t restricted to formal news, either. Choose from music news, sport, technology, finance and host of others. The app is typically slick, easy to use and because it's baked into the OS, a no-brainer for Apple fans.
If you are looking to source some alternative news with a slightly different angle on reporting, then RT is an extremely useful resource. UK-centric news has its own section and world news is easy to find. You can also access their ‘In Vision’ reports for photographic-lead reports and the ‘In Motion’ for a similar video feed. The Viral section is also a nice simple way to see what the world is taking an interest in, as well as checking out some of the more weird and wonderful news of the day. As you would expect from Russia Today, you can keep up with Russian news too.
This news aggregator has a slick interface and a host of sources that can be tailored to suit your needs. The menu offers up a simple set of sections to navigate and there is a very useful offline mode you can activate before you commute, should you need to circumvent a loss of connectivity. Other highlights include a video area and the ability to follow sections or individual publishers from each topic. You can also connect with social media for the ability to share what you see.
The aptly named Simply News offers an excellent aggregation of news, from all of the major sources. All categorised and collated with some real style. There are a couple of gestures to get the hang of, which will make navigation easier. In look and feel, the development team have clearly taken some cues from long standing news champion, Flipboard.

The Defence Force will pay all its civilian staff the living wage by 2019.
A paper released by Defence Minister Ron Mark's office said there were 162 civilian staff paid below the living wage rate, including mechanics, telephonists, librarians and security guards.
The Defence Force has made a commitment to pay all its civilian staff at least the living wage rate of $20.55 an hour by 2019.
A remuneration package this year reduced the number of people under that rate from 225 to 162, most of them on an annual salary that was less than $1000 under the living wage rate.
"The NZDF has noted the recent Cabinet Government Administration and Expenditure Review Committee decision to direct the core public service to move employees to $20.55 per hour by 1 September 2018. While this does not directly apply to the NZDF, we have committed to moving all civilian employees and military personnel to the living wage during 2019," Chief of Defence Force Air Marshal Kevin Short said in a briefing to Mark.
Mark told Parliament the New Zealand Defence Force was a major employer of New Zealanders, both civilian and military, in our regions and in our cities.
"All regular force members who have completed basic training are already paid above the living wage. Recruits undergoing training will remain at a level below the living wage, but will receive and continue to receive free accommodation. I'm also happy to report today that the New Zealand Defence Force intend bringing all reservists up to at least the living wage," he said.

It’s has been a bit since I last wrote, but events over the last few days have pulled me back tonight and has compelled me to write and try to focus some of my thoughts.
Life has been busy. Despite the lack of sunlight, the absence of heat, two polar vortex(es?) and an abundance of snow here in the midwest, time seems to be flying by. Mornings filled with workouts, days at the hospital packed with endless patient after patient, and evenings racing the kids to dance practice and swim meets, helping with homework and final exams. The days turn to weeks and weeks into months and in a blink of an eye half a year has gone by. And that phone call to reach out and reconnect with a friend, put off till “tomorrow”, all too easily extends into the unknown.
And then certain events happen that can literally take your breath away. Facebook for me has become somewhat of a love / hate relationship. I do love following my friends from high school and college and watching their children grow photo by photo. But I hate how it has taken the pressure away from actually reaching out to hear their voices. Virtually connecting with people has taken the place of literally reaching out and “touch” someone via phone as the old AT&T commercials used to say.
3 days ago on Facebook I read that one of my dearest friends from college, Liza, got married. I saw the change in her status posted on my “feed”. My breath taken away, I found myself grinning from ear to ear. Recently engaged, the wedding was actually a bit of a surprise. I find I’m kicking myself for not having called earlier and am now behind on both congratulating her for both an engagement and wedding to boot! But my frustration at my slow response, is overwhelmed by my elation for my friend.
Tonight, I found myself again breathless as I read about the death of the father of another close college friend, Dan. It appears he was battling cancer and passed away yesterday. Mixed in with my sadness for my friend and his family was frustration at myself for not even knowing his father had been ill for several months. I have failed to reach out even since his daughter was born almost 6 months ago.
In the fall of 1988 as a Freshman, I moved into the Statesider at the University of Wisconsin. And there by luck, change or good fortune, I was forced to live (or more accurate, people were forced to live with me!) on the fourth floor. Many of these poor saps would go on to be some of the most important and profound people in my life. I do truly believe Richard Bach’s quote written above. And feel so blessed that so many of the friends made that first year still matter today. I remember sobbing in Liza’s arms the night of college graduation, physically overwhelmed by the uncertainty of my future. And I remember quite a few late nights over the years with Dan, wrestling with the weight of our worlds over many bottles of Chimay Ale. Although its been over a year and a half since I met Liza for breakfast in the city, and close to the same time since Dan and I saw Springsteen at Wrigley Field, our friendships are as meaningful now as they were 20 years ago.
So it is with my heart literally mixed with joy for my newly married friend Liza and what must have been a whirlwind year, and sadness for my friend Dan over his loss and the difficulties faced these past few months, that I start to write again. In part to deal with some of the guilt I feel over not having reached out to them (and a handful of other close college friends). But to write about the strange comfort that fills within me that their change in fortune (both good and bad) still has a powerful effect on me. That despite college ending and us moving across the US more than 20 years ago, what happens to my friends still has sincere meaning, and can still take my breath away.

Paddle board yoga is the ultimate yoga experience. If you are already at the apex of form from practising traditional yoga, paddle board yoga is the step up challenge that yogis can try. Every time you are at a yoga class or with people doing yoga, you will be able to invoke your fondest memories from your vacation in Phang Nga. Just imagine yourself doing yoga on a mat that is floating like a magic carpet. The meditating calm of the water and the tranquillity of nature all around you can bring you to the pinnacle of your transcendent yoga journey.
1: Paddle board Yoga is Fun!
The whole idea of getting on a board in the middle of the ocean to do yoga is outrageous! Actually we tried the sea, but waiting on the right tide and conditions, does not make it ideal for regular sessions, so we use our infinity pool.
Yoga starts out quite easy. Most people are able to do downward dog and many yoga moves without a whole lot of practice. The more advanced yoga takes years of practice, flexibility, strength, stamina, and relaxation to master. Just when you thought you were at the top of your game, paddle board yoga presents a new challenge.
Having to balance your yoga moves on water requires every ounce of your core strength. You will benefit from a more comprehensive workout of all those tiny balancing muscles that are rarely activated. This is similar to the advantage of free weights over weight machines. These small balancing muscles are what really make your body look sleek, and toned.
After you have mastered some yoga moves on a paddle board, even the most advanced yoga moves on dry land may seem far less challenging. The confidence and experience may help you excel in your regular yoga classes. When you are out on your board in the calm of the water in that perfect balance of nature, you are essentially walking on water. You overcome your fears of falling and failing in life by experiencing the balance and precision that allows you to stand above everything.
The tranquillity of the journey and oneness with water and its breezes can help you achieve a higher state of calm. Instead of absorbing the subtle vibrations of the terrestrial landscape, you will feel the liquid living organism of Mother Earth bonding with your soul and spirit.
Water is known for being the most soothing sound to help anyone relax. They sell sleep machines that play nothing more than ocean waves ebbing and flowing to help people relax and fall asleep. Most Yogis teach a special breathing technique called Ujjayi Pranayama, that is otherwise known as "Ocean Breathe." When you are actually breathing in the fresh ocean air and meditating in the ocean, you will reach the highest plateau of your transcendent yoga experiences.
If you like to post your photos on Instagram or share them on Facebook, you will have a lot of photo moments to turn this beautiful vacation paradise into golden memories. When you are out there posing on that paddleboard, that is a photo that friends and family will love.
If anything, you can make the experience a conversation piece and spiritual souvenir of the adventure you had Phang Nga.
Whatever your reasons may be for wanting to paddle board, our professional instructor will give you the guidance you need to make the adventure safe and thrilling at the same time. By perfecting your form on this advanced medium of training, you will be all set for tightrope walking classes in the future. Is that the next big thing for land-lovers, Tightrope Yoga? You never know.

Gamelan Gong Kebyar as the art of traditional Balinese music. Based on the history written in Babad Bali, Gong Kebyar was estimated to appear in Singaraja in 1915. The village that was mentioned as the origin of Gong Kebyar appearance was Jagaraga Village in Buleleng regency which also started the tradition of Kebyar Dance. There is also other information mention that Gong Kebyar firstly appeared in Bungkulan Village, in the east part of Buleleng. Gong Kebyar art reached the top in 1925 with the arrival of Jauk dancer named I Ketut Mario from Tabanan who created a Balinese Dance named Kebyar Duduk or Kebyar Trompong.
Kebyar means ‘quick, sudden, loud’, expressions that are all characteristic for the typical, dynamic style of this type of gamelan gong music. Since its invention in North Bali in 1915, Gamelan Gong Kebyar became more popular and nowadays it is the most heard gamelan gong style in Bali.
Named by Gong Kebyar, when Gong Kebyar played for the first time it makes a tremendous shock. The people became dumbfounded and cattle were being tied in the fields and in their cages slipped and ran away. Kebyar form is one part of a Gending unity that can be in front, in the middle or at the end. This type of Kebyar Tabuh is often used in the accompaniment of dance or percussion of the rancher (instrumental). Therefore Kebyar has a very dynamic, loud nuance with one hope that with the Kebyar is able to raise the spirit. Gamelan Gong Kebyar is the most common music in Bali. You can hear and find the performance of the music of Fong Kebyar in the Temple, in the Gamelan competition in Bali, or at events such as weddings and other Hindu religious ceremonies. Gamelan Gong also becomes the musical accompaniment of Balinese Dance.

what sustains me | darkness overcomes you . . .
I’m not sure what kind of relationship is required to justify the term ‘friend‘. There’s a woman I encounter every Sunday and we often exchange greetings. She has a thick European accent of some sort and is rather focussed on her task, so we never talk much, but we have a definite connection. She comes, with her little dog and shopping trolley, to search through the dumpsters behind the green grocer/baker/take-away shops.
I’m not exactly sure what she looks for, but it’s part of the green grocer’s rubbish. On the other hand, I am there to search for discards from the baker. We both avoiding all those chicken carcasses and salad scraps from the take-away shop. You can see her in this picture looking on with a degree of curiosity (or is it suspicion?) as I take a picture of my dumpster. We have an unspoken agreement to mine our own territory and respect the other person’s claim.
I did well yesterday: two wholemeal sourdough loaves (which my older son enjoys), a fruit cob (of which my partner will partake), and a baguette-shaped wholemeal sourdough with sun-dried tomato, which is destined to be my weekend lunches for a couple of weeks.
After retrieving my freegan bread I walked down the road a bit to Dose Espresso.
I budget for two coffee-shop coffees per week, and both of them are usually take-aways from here. Like most cafés, they ask the customer’s name and write it on the lid with the order (always a LB) when they take your order so they can call out to you when the coffee is ready. They quickly learnt both my name and my order, so we’re kind-of friends. They say hello Michael, when I arrive, and the barista will often start on my order when they see me walk in; before I’ve even paid. I have no idea what their names are, nor do I wish to develop any closer relationship with them, but I do very much appreciate the job they do and in my head they’re my ‘friends’.
I uploaded the bread photo today as I was preparing this blog entry and auntysocial commented on it. She’s a ‘friend’ on LiveJournal. Auntysocial and I have never spoken (she lives in Los Angeles, I live in Sydney). I know a little bit about her, though, as I’ve been reading her blog for years. I admire her work and definitely regard her as a real ‘friend’, even though we have a very limited relationship. We’ve both had periods during which we’ve retreated into our own worlds for various reasons, but our connection has remained.
On reflection (and this reflection was prompted, I think, by seeing the movie Still Life yesterday), these connections I have with various people are what sustains and feeds and nourishes me – even more than my freegan bread does.

O.B., anyone you think is a friend is one! I have a friend who hates that the baristas remember her name and call it out when she walks into her coffee place (near where she works). She thinks it is overly familiar. I don’t drink coffee, and don’t frequent any place with baristas, so alas, no one knows MY name!
Those breads look good! Can’t believe they threw them out. What a waste. Any silly person knows if good bread is stale all you have to do is reheat it to freshen it up. Yum!
I actually have very mixed feelings about barista-type ‘friends’. I prefer to be a bit distant and would be completely happy if they didn’t know my name. Of course there’s always the commercial aspect of the ‘relationship’ – suspected or real. I assume most shop people are friendly to me only to get me back as a customer again. But on the other hand, I can see that if you work in a coffee shop, making hundreds of coffees each day, it might be almost essential for your sanity to try & give the job a bit a depth and meaning by establishing any sort of relationship with the customers.
I’m sure you’re not alone in preferring to be anonymous. Also, it’s obviously part of the commercial aspect of the job that they take names, but as you say, it might also be a sanity measure in order to feel more connected to a deeper part of the job. If you’re a people person, it’s more fun that way. If not, then it’s just an exercise issued by the corporation that you must carry out in order to stay employed! I rarely, if ever, give my name to anyone I buy stuff from, but if I’ve gone in over and over and feel I will continue to do so, I might. It’s not essential to my well being, though. And honestly, if I had to give a name at a coffee place it might make me a bit belligerent, because I’d hate that it was so superficial, which in most cases I’m sure it is.
On the “friend” question, I hope you consider me one. I feel like we are for sure online friends. I check in on your blog frequently and hope very much that things with your mother are settled a bit. It worries me when you don’t post (publicly) for a long time, but I know you make private posts, and hope that is something that you find helpful for yourself.
Yes, Julee, I unequivocally regard you as a friend, who is very much appreciated. It’s a funny world, the world of on-line relationships. When we meet people in the flesh and observe them and their interactions with us and with others we get to know them in many ways, including aspects that they may not be aware that they have revealed – their body language, their tone of voice, their facial expression etc. But with on-line friends only certain aspects are revealed. Most communication is well controlled and very few things ‘just slip out’. It can often take a long time to build up a good picture of what the other person is really like.
I certainly do regard you as a friend, too. I’m auntysocial on live journal, and Laurie Avocado in many other places. I have a new blog– http://evanescent-city.blogspot.com I’ve just started it, looking for local readership. I’m going to try to keep both blogs going. Now that I’m getting the hang of my new computer, I hope to be posting more.
I thought of you just today – a couple of hours ago when I was out on my pre-breakfast stroll around rat-city where I work. I saw a guy wearing a t-shirt with “City of Angels” written on it…”I wonder if he’s met Aunty Social?“, I thought.
Local readership is definitely not me, but I’ll be reading your new blog nonetheless. Not always commenting though….I have to be feeling rather positive about myself to be that bold.
OB, I had a work friend years back, much younger than me. We worked on a help desk together. His ONLY friends, by and large, were online. I couldn’t understand it and thought it was unhealthy. He only ever met men online (he was gay) and once explained to me that his best friends were online, he’d never met most of them, but he felt very close to some of them. Fast forward to just a few years ago, when I began meeting people online through FaceBook, Craig’s List chat rooms, and through WordPress. How differently I feel about online friendships now! I think you are right that these relationships take much longer to unfold. I suspect that’s one reason that for me they’re more successful (of late) than my in-person friendships. I guess I tend to be hard on people (my husband thinks I am). I have too many expectations. Whereas if I read something you (for example) write and don’t completely believe it, I can just laugh, blow it off, and not think too much about it. Weird, huh? It’s definitely funny, the online world. Like a parallel universe, I think.
I agree that the world of on-line friendships is a strange and different one. As perhaps was the case for your gay friend, the risk of rejection and hurt can be better managed. There’s always more distance to begin with and you can very gradually build up the friendship in a very controlled way. And besides, as you said, the greater distance and absence of face-to-face confrontation allows you to just dismiss a person who offends you. For many people, and perhaps I am one of these, closer face-to-face relationships are way too scary.
I’m glad online relationships are an option, even though I didn’t think that years ago. And I know there are people who are not great at having many face-to-face friends (my husband among them) and prefer a little distance to make them feel more comfortable. I used to think I would rather have many friends (in person) and that was so when I was younger. However, as I’ve gotten older and apparently harder on people, the online thing has worked out really well. Since I tend not to socialize as much as I once did, it’s also nice to feel connected to people even when I am not getting together with them in person.
Oh dear, I had my very own rat city this week in the garden. There was a dead one lying on top of the compost bin. Later it was transferred to the lawn, by a fox I suspect, where the maggots quickly got to work. I had to mow round it. You’d have been surprised to see it on my blog! I think I’d have lost a few friends if I had posted a picture of it there. Anyway I felt I could share that here. I thought of you on Friday too when we went up to Cambridge to see our son getting a scholarship. I hope your daughter is happy there.
Your son getting a scholarship! Wow!! Congratulations to him!
I do hope my daughter is happy at Cambridge. Her partner has now joined her, so that’s got to be a bonus, but I don’t hear much about how her work is going. I think she’s too stressed to write.
I’m glad you put a smiley face there. For a moment I thought I had mortally offended you.

Nitrous oxide (or laughing gas) was popular at parties and fairgrounds in the early nineteenth century. Horace Wells suggested its use as an anaesthetic in the 1840s and conducted a sadly unsuccessful public demonstration in 1845.(1) When ether anaesthesia was demonstrated the following year, nitrous oxide was largely forgotten as an anaesthetic.
It was revived by an American dentist, Gardner Quincy Colton in 1862(2) and demonstrated by him in Paris in 1867. Dr Thomas Evans, an American resident of Paris and a fashionable dentist, asked to be taught the technique and was soon using it successfully in his practice. Nitrous oxide is far more pleasant to inhale than ether and has quite significant analgesic properties, making it more acceptable to his affluent dental patients.
Evans travelled to London the following year and, taking a room at the Langham Hotel, set up a Sprague nitrous oxide generator to fill india rubber bags for demonstrations around the city.
Nitrous oxide was vigorously debated at all the meetings of the Odontological Society of that year but, by November, it was becoming very popular with the dentists. Some, such as Clover, were also beginning to use it for minor surgical procedures.
Later Joseph Clover developed the technique of using nitrous oxide as a carrier gas for ether with his combined ether/nitrous oxide equipment. This complicated piece of equipment was popular with Clover but many others preferred simpler ether inhalers.
