In The News:
- National Punctuation Day commemorates all punctuation on September 24th. A period, a comma, a semicolon, a question mark and an exclamation point are examples of some of the punctuation used in writing. They separate sentences and their elements to clarify meaning. Without them, meaning would be lost or up for interpretation.
- 4.6 seconds. Before you pick up the phone to glance at that text message you just got while you’re driving, consider this: researchers say the average time a driver’s eyes are off the road when focused on sending or receiving a text is 4.6 seconds.
- Deja Brew. Coffee Mate is releasing a new line of coffee creamers that taste like...(wait for it) ...coffee. Yes, in case you have a fear of missing out on fun flavors like funfetti or cookies and cocoa, you will soon be able to buy a coffee creamer that's designed for people who don't need it. There will be 2 new ones: Classic Columbian and Italian Espresso. If you are still scratching your head about this, Coffee Mate says these creamers will cut any bitterness of your black coffee and make it taste like a "smooth, high-end drink". You'll see the new coffee creamers in the grocery store starting in January.
- Always fidgeting. People who spend most of the day sitting down could undo some of the damage to their health by having a good fidget. A study (University of Leeds) of more than 12,000 UK women suggested that those who claimed to fidget the most were apparently protected against the ravages of being seated. The women who sat still for hours on end were more likely to have died over the course of the study than those whose limbs tapped, wobbled and gently vibrated.
- Fun Fact: Twelve percent of adults consider themselves to be what? (Lucky) #funfact
- Diamond Find> An Arkansas man unearthed second largest diamond ever found at Arkansas' Crater of Diamonds State Park. Kevin Kinard, 33, found the diamond on Labor Day. It weighs 9.07 carats. The only larger diamond found during that time is the 16.37-carat white Amarillo Starlight, discovered in August 1975. Kinard and his friends brought equipment with them to wet sift, but he preferred surface searching. While searching in the southeast portion of the diamond search area, Kinard picked up a marble-sized crystal that had a rounded, dimpled shape. So far, 246 diamonds have been registered at Crater of Diamonds State Park in 2020, weighing a total of 59.25 carats. An average of one to two diamonds are found by park visitors each day. Diamonds come in all colors of the rainbow. The three colors found at Crater of Diamonds State Park are white, brown, and yellow, in that order.
- Fall & Winter attraction. You may have broken your back trying to get in shape to squeeze (or not squeeze) into that summer bikini, but if you missed the boat in March, you may not be too late. A study (conducted by Poland’s University of Wroclaw) found that men seem to find women more attractive in fall and winter than in the months of maximum exposure, and they theorize that the scarcity of flesh may make what they do get to see that much more exciting.
- Guinness World Records said that, despite numerous inquiries, it will not be able to create a category for starting and stopping a smartphone stopwatch. "We've had a lot of people get in touch over the l rify, sadly this isn't something we could ever monitor," the organization said. "Phone stopwatches are too unreliable and can be easily manipulated to display false times. Sorry."
- Walking. The average adult will walk almost 75,000 miles over their lifetime – the equivalent of travelling around the world THREE times A study of 2,000 adults found they each typically stroll 6,839 steps a day – amounting to 2,496,235 a year.
- The average adult will spend a staggering $30,500 during their lifetime – just on getting things fixed. A study of 2,000 adults found vehicles, dishwashers, laptops and mobile phones are among the most costly items to maintain.
