* In the early 1800s, a railroad marketer set up a head-on collision between two trains as a publicity stunt. Some 40,000 people came to watch, and the resulting boiler explosion killed three spectators. But ticket sales soared, and railways everywhere staged train crashes right up until the Great Depression. * The Zombie tit is a species of bird that has learned to track down tiny bats, split open their skulls, and feed on their brains. * On average, a four-year-old will ask 400 questions in one day. * One of the weirdest scandals in sports history occurred in 1973 when New York Yankees players Fritz Peterson and Mike Kekich decided to trade families -- wives, children, even dogs! After the couples became close friends, Peterson fell in love with Kekich’s wife and vice versa. “It’s a love story. It wasn’t anything dirty,” Peterson told a reporter in 2013. Peterson is still married to the former Mrs. Kekich, but Kekich and the former Mrs. Peterson later split up. * Dustin the Turkey, a hand puppet from an Irish TV show, has campaigned for president of Ireland in two separate elections -- representing the “Poultry Party.” * When Prohibition started, alcohol could only be bought for medicinal and religious purposes, from a pharmacy or a doctor. “Medicinal whiskey” was prescribed for just about anything and used to treat conditions such as toothaches and the flu. With a prescription, a patient could legally purchase up to one pint of hard liquor every 10 days. * The human body gives off enough heat in 30 minutes to bring a gallon of water to a boil. *** Thought for the Day: “I would rather die a meaningful death than to live a meaningless life.” -- Corazon Aquino (c) 2020 King Features Synd., Inc.

When it comes to a modeling career, looks are everything. When it comes to a dog, personality is everything. Getting a dog is like getting married. You don’t date a dog -- get together once or twice a week for a few months until you decide to take it to the next level. You don’t break up with a dog, telling him it’s not him, it’s you. A dog is -- hopefully -- the only relationship where you invite your special friend back to your place on the first date, and he or she never leaves. In light of the uniqueness of the relationship, it’s a good idea to know what you’re looking for and how to find it. But we’re talking about dogs, right? How do you know what a dog’s personality is like before you even bring him home? Believer it or not, it’s possible. There are five simple tests virtually anyone can administer to get a pretty good feel for a dog’s personality. These tests measure a dog’s reaction to the following: --your presence --your voice --the movement of your hand near his head and face --the sound of foreign objects (e.g., car keys tossed to the ground) --your touch (via the application of varying degrees of pressure to different parts of the body, including and especially sensitive parts of the body such as the paws, tail, back and hips, to determine pain tolerance.) These are simple tests, but they reveal a lot. A dog who reacts to your presence by jumping all over you is a very different dog from the one who saunters up to you in his own good time. A dog who shies away or ducks as your hand approaches his face requires a different approach from a dog who views the presence of your hand as a game. A dog with a low tolerance for pain warrants more careful and sensitive play and handling than a dog with very high pain tolerance.

SOCIAL SECURITY

going on your husband’s account and half on your account, your husband would have ended up with a smaller Social Security benefit, and you would have received your own Social Security benefit. I’m guessing you each would have ended up with benefits in the $1,800-per-month range, giving you combined benefits of $3,600 per month. So, as you can see, at least from a Social Security benefit perspective, the way you filed your tax returns actually worked out for both of you. But the next email comes from a woman with a different story.

A: Filing a joint tax return has nothing to do with the assignment of the business earnings to by Tom Margenau your Social Security accounts. The Social Security part of a self-employment tax return is called the Schedule SE. This is the form that indicates whose Social Security number gets the credit for the business’s profits. And obviously, for all these years, the person who prepares your tax returns has been Q: I am 58 and recently married for putting your husband’s name and your husband’s a second time. My first husband and I ran a Social Security number on that Schedule SE. On the one hand, you probably should feel successful business for all the 25 years we More than a few husbands and wives are cheated by that. If misery loves company, you may were married.

A: Well, if you’re going to stay married forever, then your accountant might be right. But if you’re not sure (half of all marriages end in divorce, after all), then consider the plight faced by the woman above. And there is another piece to this puzzle. By having earnings posted to your own Social Security account, you would not only get retirement benefits someday but also qualify for monthly Social Security disability benefits if something happens to you -- and that would be very valuable coverage for you and your family if that were to happen. Or if you die, your husband and kids would get survivors benefits on your account. * * * If you have a Social Security question, Tom Mar genau has the answer. Contact him at .

M.D.

CPAP Could Help With Sleep Apnea

VETERANS  POST 

ANSWER: That’s a myth. The amount of aluminum in antiperspirants is negligible. Deodorants that aren’t also antiperspirants don’t contain aluminum. The aluminum mechanically blocks the sweat glands in the armpit, and 99.99% of it is not absorbed into the body.

THE LUSITANIA

•

• When we think of ship disasters at sea, the Titanic might be the first to come to mind. But equally as tragic was the sinking of the Lusitania, three years after the Titanic went down. The intentional sinking of this British ocean liner carrying more than 1,200 innocent civilian passengers greatly influenced America's ultimate involvement in World War I, as you will see. • The RMS Lusitania’s maiden voyage was September 7, 1907, and like the Titanic she was the world’s largest passenger ship at the time. The ship was designed by Cunard Line architects and built by a Scottish shipbuilding company. The vessel took her name from the ancient Roman province of Lusitania, which was modern-day Portugal and part of western Spain. • The Lusitania only held the honor of largest passenger ship for two months when another Cunard Line ship, the Mauretania, designed by the same architects, grabbed the honor. • Lusitania was the first passenger ship to cross the Atlantic Ocean in less than five days, (another record later broken by the Mauretania),

Most are blonde, but a few have dark hair. They are wearing shoes that match their gowns. Anything you can tell me about their current value will be appreciated.

Hertwig and Co. made your figurines. The factory was founded by Christop Hertwig and Benjamin Beyermann and was located in Katzhütte, Thuringia, Germany, from 1864 to 1945. By 1890, they employed 300 workers, plus another 600 who worked from home. Hertwig and Co. produced figurines in the shapes of animals, dolls and bathing beauties. In the last half of the 20th century, their art deco dancing figurines were eagerly sought after by collectors. Your figurines were made around the 1920s to the 1930s and can range in value from $50 to several hundred dollars, depending upon condition and the interest of buyers.

Irish poet and playwright Oscar Wilde wrote “The Ballad of Reading Gaol.” Wilde was imprisoned to hard labor for “gross indecency” from 1895 to 1897. He began serving his sentence at New Gate, London, England, and later was transferred to the prison at Reading Gaol in Reading, Berkshire, England. “The Ballad of Reading Gaol” was a poem he wrote after his release from prison in 1897. Wilde chronicled the harsh prison life and the hanging of fellow prisoner Charles Thomas Wooldridge. Grosset and Dunlap reprinted illustrated classics from 1935 to the 1940s. The series was published in black cloth with gold stamping and a raised ivory cameo in the center of the covers. It was affordable. Wilde was born in Dublin in 1854 and died in Paris in 1900. “The Picture of Dorian Gray,” “The Importance of Being Earnest” and “Salome” are a few of his famous works.

Play Better Golf with JACK NICKLAUS

Picture the Arc

It can be quite difficult to make breaking putts where you have to aim more than a foot to the left or the right of the hole. It’s partly a guess on the line to take and then how hard to hit it on that intention. While many golfers will say that speed is everything, you’ll need a proper mix of line and speed to make those putts. When practicing larger breaking putts, try laying down a half dozen balls in a pattern illustrated below. Start with the actual ball to be hit, but then place balls progressively from the hole backwards. You’ll focus on how the ball enters the hole, how much it may curve at the end of the putt, and visualize how the entire putt would look before you hit it. This illustration will give you a better understanding of line and speed that you need to guess on for that putt. There is no perfect combination, but keep in mind “higher and softer” usually results in less three putts from short range.
