Researchers said packaging should be easy to open, but in a way that is too complex for young children to work out.

- Want to give your child or spouse a boost today? How a good, long hug. Research shows that if we hold a hug for at least six seconds, we optimize the flow of mood-boosting chemicals. According to studies, a family member is 47 percent more likely to feel close to a family member who often expresses affection than to one who rarely does. Also, frequent huggers have lower blood pressure and higher levels of oxytocin, a chemical that promotes bonding.

According to a recent study, 79 percent of those surveyed believe that eating dinner together is the best way to keep up with what’s going on in one’s family.

- It happened again! A man in the UK had to be rescued after setting the front of his house on fire. Firefighters say the man had been trying to set fire to a spider as it crawled up the front of the property. Sparks reached material behind the cladding and caused a fire within the walls.

- When an 18-foot reticulated python was found slithering across the roof of a house in Detroit, police responded to a frightened 911 call, but they weren’t sure what to do about the snake. Luckily, someone else was already looking for her. The owner, named Devin, told police, “It was my fault that she got out. I was scared for her.” Devin says his snake is a docile 8-year-old and would “never intentionally” harm a human. Her diet, he says, consists of “thawed rabbits.”
