In The News:
- Skyscrapers Day is celebrated every year on September 3, on the birth anniversary of Louis H. Sullivan, often called the 'father of modern skyscrapers'. The term 'skyscraper' originated in the United States in the late 1880s.
- A new survey finds 40 percent of parents still “battle” with their kids to get them to wash their hands.
- Run or bike? How does cycling or spinning compare with running or walking as an exercise for health or weight loss? An article in the New York Times reported that, in general, running burns more calories per minute than cycling. In a study, healthy, active men were assigned to run for an hour on one day and on another, to ride vigorously for the same amount of time. During both activities, the men’s blood levels of ghrelin, a hormone known to stimulate hunger, fell, compared to when they sat quietly… But running has a downside: Injuries are common. Biking, meanwhile, is gentler. Cycling is a non-weight bearing activity, so it is better for your knees and joints. Another option if biking and running aren’t on your fitness menu: walking. Research has shown regular walkers can be very fit.
- Maybe we can chalk this up to the crazy year 2020 has been?! You can now buy candy canes that taste like ketchup, kale, pizza, or mac-n-cheese. This is not a joke. I repeat. This is not a joke. The crazy candy canes can be ordered online from Archie McPhee, a Seattle-based shop. The line-up also includes flavors like bacon, shiitake mushroom, and clam.

- Mulan on Disney+. Disney+ customers who shell out $30 for Mulan starting Friday (September 4) will get the first look at the live-action remake — but in three months, all subscribers to the streaming service will get access to the film for no extra charge… On Friday Mulan will be available to Disney+ subs for $30 — on top of the regular $6.99-per-month subscription. Access to Mulan will continue as long as you are an active Disney+ subscriber. But if you prefer to save the money, just wait until December 4 when Mulan becomes available as part of the regular D+ service.
- Spiders House Fire. Well, it’s happened again. Firefighters in Germany arrived too late to save the house of a woman who set it on fire when she tried to kill the spiders in the garage with a can of hairspray and a cigarette lighter.
- Train Trouble. In Russia, a train engineer saw a man lying on the rails and used his emergency brake to try and stop. But the train still went over the man’s body. Luckily it managed to pass over without so much as scratching the man — who was drunk. When the train came to a halt it caused an unexpected problem: the low-profile cargo cars made it impossible to pull the still sleeping man from under the train. The train then had to be started again until all the cars passed by and the man was rescued. Rescue workers say the fact that the man did not wake up probably saved his life.
