A fascinating look at the way we age today and the extent to which we can shape the process
In What Makes Olga Run? Bruce Grierson explores what the wild success of a ninety-four-year-old track star can tell us about how our bodies and minds age. Olga Kotelko is not your average ninety-four-year-old. She not only looks and acts like a much younger woman, she holds over twenty-three world records in track and field, seventeen in her current ninety to ninety-five category. Convinced that this remarkable woman could help unlock many of the mysteries of aging, Grierson set out to uncover what it is that's driving Olga. He considers every piece of the puzzle, from her diet and sleep habits to how she scores on various personality traits, from what she does in her spare time to her family history. Olga participates in tests administered by some of the world's leading scientists and offers her DNA to groundbreaking research trials. What emerges is not only a tremendously uplifting personal story but a look at the extent to which our health and longevity are determined by the DNA we inherit at birth, and the extent to which we can shape that inheritance. It examines the sum of our genes, opportunities, and choices, and the factors that forge the course of any life, especially during our golden years.

Unsafe product falls apart in chunks, choking hazard
Color: Brown & Grey
I bought these toys for my small 11 pound dog The product fell apart within a couple hours both this is it’s not meant for the description as a durable toy. It comes up in chunks and can cause choking. I returned the toys to make a point that I’m not gonna buy a product that can hold my pet and it’s unsafe for the advertise use.

Cute toy for small dogs
Color: Orange & Orange
The toys are cute and well priced. The rope is sturdy but the fabric areas are easily ripped. I had to throw them out after my 5 mo puppy Boston terrier ripped it with 15 minutes… oh well!
