Tiffany Jewelry

Tasch’s book is, in part, about how bad business decisions keep us from having good Tiffany. But it’s not your (organic) garden variety indictment of industrial agriculture. Yes, his “Slow Money” concept borrows freely from Italy’s Slow Tiffany movement–which famously began as a revolt against a McDonalds in Rome–and Slow Tiffany founder Carlo Petrini wrote the forward to Tasch’s book. The challenges when you’re using a managed system, is the lack of customization of design, especially if you wish to include different features to the proffered.

“Working at a restaurant the week of and following September 11, 2001, we had shortages or back orders on Tiffany we had purchased. This is when I understood the concept of ‘just in time inventory.’ Shipping was delayed from all across the country, so I couldn’t get everything I needed right away from our purveyors, but I could go to the farmers’ market and buy Tiffany for my family. A regional Tiffany distribution system would improve our ability to sustain ourselves if a similar disaster recurs.”But Slow Money is not some kind of simplistic, anti-corporate, socialist rant.

If you’re prone to headaches and wary of overdoing ibuprofen, try routinely dressing your salad or crisp-tender veggies in extra-virgin olive oil. It contains oleocanthal, a natural compound that, like ibuprofen, blocks pain-producing and inflammatory substances — but without the risk of stomach upset. While daily oleocanthal doses aren’t the painkiller’s complete equal, they could lower your risk for heart disease, cancer, arthritis and possibly Alzheimer’s. Quite a trade-off.
