Final Fantasy Christmas Card From Square Enix
By William on Sunday, December 23rd, 2007 at 8:37 PM PST In Square Enix
Square Enix didn’t top BioWare’s Mass Effect Christmas card, but this one was worth an honorable mention. At external glance, their card just looks like a snow man, but you open it to realize the eyes actually belong to a cute chocobo. We’ve seen some great cards from Square Enix over the years and this is definitely one of them. What would Christmas be without chocobos anyway?
Hopefully all of our reader’s have a great holiday this week. I’m headed out to Richmond, VA in the morning to spend Christmas Eve with family and will be back on the 26th to resume exciting video game news reporting on Gaming Today.
Spirulina – the oldest food on Earth
by Reiner Hoyer
Spirulina is the oldest food on Earth, being the first plant life, unchanged for eons. It is arguably the most nutritious plant life on Earth as well.
A simple, one-cell organism – Green Algae – soaks up sunlight (solar energy) and converts it to Chlorophyll, at twice the strength found in Wheatgrass or Green Barley. It also contains very high concentrations of minerals and trace elements, notably Iron. It is 58 times richer in Bio-available Iron than Spinach. Spirulina is high in essential Amino Acids (an egg has all 8 Amino Acids, but Spirulina is even better than eggs).
It is very rich in Vitamins, and in Spirulina, they are all Bio-available, i.e., the body can absorb them all, unlike synthetic Vitamins. Bioflavenoids provide the Anti-oxidants, GLA and Arachidonic Acids – the Low Fats, and it is rich in easily digestible Carbohydrates and Essential Fatty Acids.
Its Proteins include Isoleucine (Growth, Intelligence, Nitrogen equilibrium) and natural Phenylalanine (not to be confused with the synthetic poison in artificial sweeteners). It is 65 to 71 percent complete protein, with all essential amino acids in perfect balance. In comparison, beef is only 22 percent protein. Spirulina has a photosynthetic conversion rate of 8 to 10 percent, compared to only 3 percent in such land-growing plants as soybeans.
In addition, Spirulina is one of the few plant sources of vitamin B12, usually found only in animal tissues. A teaspoon of Spirulina supplies 2 1/2 times the Recommended Daily Allowance of vitamin B12 and contains over twice the amount of this vitamin found in an equivalent serving of liver. It is highly recommended for vegetarians.
