In The News:
- Thank A Letter Carrier Day
- Nnadi Pays Dog Adoption Fees. Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi was on the winning side for Sunday’s Super Bowl, then on Monday paid off an animal shelter’s adoption fees. KC Pet Project, a no-kill animal shelter in the Kansas City metro area, tweeted Monday that Nnadi paid off the adoption fees of more than 100 dogs. Nnadi explained: “All my life I always wanted a dog. Growing up I didn’t have a pet, my parents didn’t really allow pets.” He got his first dog, Rocky, in college, and it inspired him to want to help other animals.
- Overweight Dogs. This is obvious… Overweight humans are more unhealthy and tend to live shorter lives than correct-weight humans. So it should come as no surprise that researchers (University of Liverpool) have found that overweight dogs have life-spans about two-and-a-half years shorter than dogs that maintain an ideal weight.
- Couples should say “WE”. Couples who consistently refer to themselves as “we” may get on the nerves of singletons everywhere, but spouses who use this “couple-focused” language may fare better during conflicts than those who don’t. A study found that using personal pronouns, such as “we,” “our” and “us” when talking about a conflict was associated with more positive behaviors between the pair, such as affection, less negative behavior (like anger), and lower physiological stress levels during the disagreement. On the other hand, using words that expressed “separateness,” such as “I,” “you,” and “me,” during the discussion was associated with marital dissatisfaction.

- Printing monthly photo memories. Google Photos is testing a Monthly Photo Prints subscription service that uses the company’s algorithms to automatically select and print your 10 best photos each month.
- Mirror Affects your Diet. If you’re trying to lose weight because you think it will improve your appearance, you might think that looking in the mirror would motivate you to keep your diet goals on track. But any stimuli (including photos of other people’s bodies) that make you think about your appearance may actually lead you to eat more — regardless of your appetite… Research conducted in the Netherlands revealed that whether you’re looking in the mirror, at a model, or even photos of your friends on Facebook or Instagram — you’re thinking about outward appearances, and that can be deeply distracting. This can muddle the messages your stomach sends to your brain to signify you’re full, and make it especially hard to resist food, regardless of your appetite.
- World Cancer Day
- Pillowcase Bandit Caught. A masked robber armed with a meat cleaver hit a bank in Scotland. He escaped with around $2,600, but witnesses were still able to identify him: he had a pillowcase over his head, but he didn’t think to cut eye holes, and had to pull it up to see.
- Pork Rind Appreciation Day
- On this day 1938: Walt Disney released the classic children’s movie Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs.
