In The News:


- National Paperclip Day on May 29th each year celebrates a small but unusually useful invention. Yes, even the paperclip has its own day of honor. The day celebrates the well-known piece of curved wire that keeps our papers together and helps us stay organized.

- Exercise best for metal health. Want to boost your mood and improve your mental health? A new study (published in Lance) says regular physical activity lasting 45 minutes three to five times a week can reduce poor mental health. A total of 1.2 million people reported their activity levels for a month and rated their mental well being. People who exercised had 1½ fewer “bad days” a month than non-exercisers .… Being active for 30 to 60 minutes every-other-day came out as the optimal routine … All types of activity were found to improve mental health no matter people’s age or gender, including doing the housework and looking after the children.

- Lose weight by chewing gum. Looking to shed a few pounds? Forget diet pills — try the chewing gum diet. Researchers (Mayo Clinic) calculated that by chewing sugar-free gum during every waking hour a person could lose 11 pounds in a year without doing anything else differently.… By the way, chewing gum for just one hour burns about 11 calories.

- 67 degrees. Researchers say the ideal bedroom temperature for sleeping is 67 degrees. After a long and tiring day, trying to maintain a perfect balance between our personal and professional life, we all look forward to some sound sleep at night. A good night sleep for 7+ hours every night is not only necessary for our physical health but is also important for our mental well-being. Now imagine this: you are extremely tired but when you hit the bed, you couldn’t sleep a wink. Next time you get stuck in a similar situation, adjust your room temperature and see if it makes any difference… Researchers say your bedroom temperature should be around 67 degrees for optimal sleep at night. This temperature is not too hot or too cold and is comfortable to fall asleep.

- Road ready. If you’ve been working from home or furloughed, it’s possible your car hasn’t moved from its parking spot in weeks — or months. Auto experts say before you hit the road again, check your tire pressure.

- Driverless truck. A Florida Highway Patrol trooper investigated after a pickup truck hit a sign, and then crashed through the front of a business (in Ocala). It was 6 AM so there was no one inside the business. There was no one inside the truck, either: the driver, who was on his way home from work, had a broken door that didn’t latch properly and was startled when it swung open on a curve. He tried to reach for the door and fell out. The truck continued on without him. The unnamed driver suffered road rash from skidding on the pavement, and was cited for careless driving — and not wearing a seat belt.

- The Kansas City Royals have moved -- not actually, but legally. The Royals changed their legal home from Missouri to Delaware last fall during the process of the team's sale from David Glass to a group headed by John Sherman. The switch was mentioned Monday in a filing with the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals by Major League Baseball's law firm in its defense of a lawsuit by minor leaguers claiming they are not being paid minimum wage. The corporation is called Kansas City Royals Baseball Club LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.

- Pigs Ears Theft. A burglar in China broke into a restaurant, carrying off more than 33 pounds of pig ears and pig tails and about 75 pounds of cooking oil.
