    NOTES AND COMMENTS E. G. J. "The Hendricksons of Crum Creek and the 'Old Swedes House'" is a well documented article by H. Edgar Hammond and Ruth L. Springer, published in The Pennsylvania Genealogical Magazine (Vol. XXII, No. 2 [1961] pp. 45-82). "Until the autumn of 1958, on a plot of ground on the east side of Crum Creek, near the Delaware River, there stood a small stone house which' was built in 1690 for Andrew Hendrickson, a young Swedish farmer, and his bride, Birgitta, daugh• ter of Morton Mortonson"—thus reads the opening statement of the article, and at the end is this: "The restored Hendrickson house, still within the early Swedish colony, now stands on the west side of the churchyard of Holy Trinity Church (Old Swedes) in Wilmington, approximately eighteen miles from where it was originally built." The 37 pages between these sentences record the 270 years of the history of the house and the genealogical lists of generations of the Hendrickson family. The Rev. H. Edgar Hammond, one of the au• thors, is rector of Holy Trinity, Old Swedes, Church in Wilmington. • * * A carefully prepared article entitled "Amerika i Sverige: Herman Lagercrantz, emigrationen och den nationella väckelsen" by Nils Runeby appeared in Arkivvetenskapliga Studier 3, pp. 163-184 (Lund, 1962). Based on documents in the Lagercrantz papers at Virsbo Man• or, Sweden, Mr. Runeby records the story of the attempts in 1907- 1910, the years of Herman Lagercrantz's ambassadorship in Wash• ington, of promoting a campaign to induce immigrant Swedes in America to return to their homeland.

NAD+ declines with biological ageing and in age-related diseases such as diabetes and strategies to restore intracellular NAD+ levels are emerging as a promising strategy to protect against metabolic dysfunction, treat age-related conditions and promote healthspan and longevity. One of the most effective ways to increase NAD+ is through pharmacological supplementation with NAD+ precursors such as nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) which can be orally delivered. Long term administration of NMN in mice mitigates age-related physiological decline and alleviates the pathophysiologies associated with a high fat diet- and age-induced diabetes. Despite such efforts, there are certain aspects of NMN metabolism that are poorly understood. In this thesis, the mechanisms involved in the utilisation and transport of orally administered NMN were investigated using strategically labelled isotopes of NMN and mass spectrometry.

Han var förste europé i NHL, han blev världsmästare och belönadesmed diverse utmärkelser, men han blev aldrig svensk mästare. Han var den första i Sverige att kombinera teknik med elakhet i alla händelser. 10 maj gästade han Karlskoga idrottsveteraner i Folkets hus Allting började i Deje 1941, eller i Dejefors närmare bestämt, på andra sidan älven. -Vi tyckte inte om Deje, det luktade, sa Sterner. Hockey började också i Deje, på en rink som fick öknamnet ”Dårbingen”. -Det var riktiga vintrar på den tiden, kallt och mycket snö. Det var mycket skottning. I ”Dårbingen” spelade Ulf Sterner hockey så ofta han kunde och han blev bra. -Jag kom med i A-laget som 13-åring. Jag bytte om hemma och åkte skridskor på landsvägen till rinken. De grusade inte vägarna heller på den tiden. Deje IK som blev moderklubb fick mycket cred för sin unga satsning.
