People who are more laid back are less likely to develop dementia in old age, a study has suggested.
Research published in the journal Neurology asked 500 healthy elderly people to fill out questionnaires about their personalities.
Those who were calm and relaxed had a 50% lower risk of developing dementia during the six years of the study

I found this about it:
July 20--Pots, Hair and Paranoia
We pack up and cycle to the town of Avanos, which is famous for it´s pottery. We visit numerous pottery shops, all with ancient underground rooms and chambers filled with jars, urns, bowls, plates and sculptures for sale, many exquisitly glazed with bright colors and elaborately detailed patterns.
One shop even has a hair museum. About 20 years ago a French woman came for the summer to learn pottery making at the shop. When she left she cut a small lock of hair and stuck it to a wall with her name on a card "so the owner would always remember her." A week later another foreign woman saw the hair, asked what it was, and decided to cut her own lock of hair and left it with her name tag. So started the hair museum cave. The last time anyone counted, in 1996, there were 16,000 locks of hair. Today the museum occupies three underground chambers, the walls and ceiling covered with fuzzy whisps of hair hanging like tendrils from yellowing papers listing names of women around the world. Each year the owner picks one name and the "winner" gets a week long all expenses paid vacation to Cappadocia. It is fascinating yet creepy, and yes, Tass leaves a small lock of hair.

She can have a piece of my hair in exchange for the chance of a free holiday!!
