• Bananas get their curves by turning skyward as they grow, to absorb sunlight. • Pentheraphobia is the fear of your mother-in-law. There, folks, you now have an official name for it. • Whack, zoom, out of the way! A table tennis ball can travel off the paddle at a speed of 105.6 mph. • Research has shown that girls and women who watched the TV series “The X-Files” were more likely to believe in the importance of STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) and to encourage their own daughters and granddaughters to pursue careers in those fields -- something called “The Scully Effect” after the series’ female main character, Dana Scully. • All of the world’s pandas are technically owned by China. The country leases them to zoos in an act called panda diplomacy. • On Dec. 19, 1881, Sir William Payne Gallwey, a retired conservative member of the British Parliament, died while out shooting on his estate, Thirkleby Park -but not from a gunshot.

Fascinating facts about Chinese New Year Chinese New Year is also known as the Spring Festival In China, you’ll hear it being called chunjie, or the Spring Festival. It’s still very wintry, but the holiday marks the end of the coldest days. People welcome spring and what it brings along: planting and harvests, new beginnings and fresh starts. No showering, sweeping or throwing out garbage allowed! Showering isn’t allowed New Year’s Day. Sweeping and throwing out garbage isn’t allowed before the 5th. This is to make sure you don’t wash away the good luck! The most fireworks are set off in the world that night As in the myth about Nian, firecrackers are supposed to scare off monsters and bad luck. So people stay up on Chinese New Year’s Eve and set off firecrackers at midnight. In the morning, firecrackers are used again to welcome the new year and good luck. That same night, families also burn fake paper money and printed gold bars in honor of their deceased loved ones.
It is the longest Chinese holiday The Spring Festival is technically 15 days. But celebrations start on New Year’s Eve (making it 16 days). You can also say that the holiday season starts in (lunar) December with the Laba Festival. That’s around 40 days of celebrations! Traditionally, you have to spend time with your family and can only go out after the 5th day. It’s a national holiday. The large majority of stores are closed too. Singles hire fake boy/girlfriends to take home Some desperate singles resort to hire a fake boyfriend or girlfriend to take home. Those who can’t (or don’t want to) go home can rent themselves out.

Having a pet is good for us
ANSWER ON PAGE 6
ANSWER ON PAGE 6
The studies are clear: Owning a pet is good for us. For those of us who stay home much of the time, having a pet can be a boon to our physical and mental health. Play with a cat, you get laughter and stress relief. Walk a dog, you get exercise. (And don’t forget the social aspect when you meet up with other dog owners along the way.) Blood sugar levels even out and blood pressure goes down, per the studies. On the other hand, those studies were written before the pandemic. Now we find that too many pet owners are having to relinquish their pets ... and those who would consider pet adoption are hesitant. No matter how much we’d like to own a pet, there can be concerns that we need to consider before we adopt, and the big one is pet food. In many areas, there have been
difficulties keeping our pets fed. Ask neighbors who have pets if they’ve had trouble getting pet food over the past two years. Sometimes the manufacturers haven’t kept up due to supply chain problems. But there are options that might ease your worry. Learn about ordering pet food online and having it delivered to your door. It’s also possible that your local food bank keeps a supply of pet food on hand. Meals on Wheels often delivers pet food. The animal shelter itself is sure to have a pet food bank. I searched for “free pet food pantries” near me and found dozens -- even a library and a church! Take a look at Pets for the Elderly (petsfortheelderly. org), especially the stories about seniors who’ve adopted pets. They work with 54 shelters in 32 states to help pet

This hearty meal chases away the chill Cottage pie is a meal traditionally served in areas of Great Britain and Ireland. The name is sometimes used interchangeably with shepherd’s pie, but that’s a mistake. While shepherd’s pie uses lamb in the recipe, cottage pie contains beef. Cottage pie features a layer of meat and vegetables topped with potatoes. Some people opt for a mashed potato topping, others arrange thin slices of potatoes to look like “shingles” on the cottage. This recipe for “Cottage Pies” from “Real Simple Dinner Tonight: Done” (Time Home Entertainment) from the editors of Real Simple prepares the pies into individual servings. They can be prepared up to two days in advance and then baked straight from the refrigerator as needed.
COTTAGE PIES Serves 4
• 11⁄2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes (about 3), peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces • Kosher salt and black pepper • 1⁄2 cup whole milk • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter • 1 tablespoon olive oil • 1 pound ground beef • 1⁄3 cup ketchup • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce • 11⁄2 cups frozen peas and carrots
Heat oven to 425 F. Place the potatoes in a large pot and add enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil and add 2 teaspoons salt. Reduce heat and simmer until just tender, 15 to 18 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the milk, butter, and 1⁄4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and mash to the desired consistency. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until no longer pink, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, 1⁄2 teaspoon salt, and 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper. Fold in the peas and carrots. Transfer the beef mixture to 4 individual baking dishes and top with the mashed potatoes. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

Unlicensed contractors taking jobs that total less than $500 must state in their
