 The 4-year-old was known to talk about t“products,” and many adults found her exceptionally articulate for her age. Entrepreneurs themselves, Meng and her husband, artist Joe Allen, chalked it up to their own shop talk around the house. It turns out Sky had set her sights set on a personal acquisition, namely a Calico Critters Maple Cat Family figure. She deduced the quickest route to owning one was to start her own company.

2. Overcoming obstacles, US figure skaters ready for Beijing (Human Interest)

Jan 19. 2022

Kaitlin Hawayek spent last summer dealing with a concussion that she got in practice, unsure of when she would be able to join ice dance partner Jean-Luc Baker on the rink again to prepare for the Beijing Olympics. Hawayek was off the ice entirely for 10 days, then began with light workouts in which she kept close tabs on her heart rate. As time went on, Hawayek was able to add practice time in 15-minute increments, though she and Baker still had to withdraw from the U.S. Classic and their Grand Prix assignment at the NHK Trophy.
They finally made their season debut at the Rostelecom Cup in Russia, finishing in fifth place, then won a lower-level event in Croatia.
 

3. The coolest winter ice castles and sculptures in America ( Lifestyle)

Jan 3.2022

In the majestic White Mountains, journeyers will be treated to a fairy-tale display of ice castles from mid-January until mid-February depending on the weather conditions. All of the castles are hand-constructed and hand-placed by ice artists using hundreds of thousands of icicles, and you’ll also see tunnels, ice caves and ice slides. Illuminated by LED lights, visitors can also opt for a horse-drawn sleigh ride or the "Enchanted Forest Walk."

The rapper will lend financial support to all 17 victims' families (occupation)

 

Jan 17.2022

                       Cardi B has volunteered to pay for the burial costs of the 17 people who were killed in a fire that destroyed a New York City high-rise building earlier this month. 

New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced Wednesday that the Grammy-winning rapper had offered financial relief for victims of the fire. The rapper grew up in the Bronx and holds a special connection to the area. 

Many of the victims had ties to Gambia, and the families of several of the victims planned to bury them in their West African homeland. Cardi B has committed to paying the repatriation expenses for the victims who will be buried in Gambia, the mayor's office said.

5. People are selling pre-paid restaurant reservations on Reddit (Explanatory Feature)

Those who can't make their restaurant reservations are selling them on Reddit

Jan 14.2022

 

Many restaurants have seen a rise in people not showing up for reservations, which has caused some to adopt a paid-reservation policy. Basically, customers have to pay ahead of time to secure a seat at the restaurant. That way, if they don’t show up, the restaurant isn’t stuck with an empty table not making any money.

This new system could leave some customers stuck having to pay even if they had a legitimate reason to cancel.

In response, Reddit users have been selling paid-reservation spots for restaurants that don’t offer refunds.

6. Coast guard rescues trapped duck hunters near Cape Cod (Adventure)

                                         Jan 17.2022

               

The U.S. Coast Guard Air Station Cape Cod posted, "The 6 hunters became stranded when their vessel was left high and dry after the tide went out while they were hunting. Fearing the extreme cold and knowing the next high tide wouldn't happen until later that night, the hunters phoned for help. Initially, Barnstable Fire, West Barnstable and Sandwich Fire attempted to rescue the hunters but were unable due to rough seas, low tides and mechanical issues."

7. Your earbuds are gross - here’s how to clean them the right way (How to Do)

Unless you clean your earbuds regularly, crud builds up

                                                                      Jan 16. 2022

 

 

Compared to other gadgets, earbuds rack up an extraordinary amount of nastiness. They collect dirt and skin particles, earwax, grease, and sweat. They’re like portable Petri dishes for our biological debris. 

 First, grab a microfiber cloth.

Lightly dampen it and wipe down the cord and body of each earbud. You can use these steps for your earbuds’ charging case, too, but avoid anything wet on the speaker area of your headphones. 

If you prefer cleaning wipes, grab a big affordable pack, so you never run out. Again, avoid the speaker.

9. Words my uncle, Martin Luther King Jr., would share in our troubled times (Historical F.)

                                                                  Jan 17. 2022 

 

 

I believe if MLK were here today, he would encourage us to hold onto hope, fear not, have faith in God, and choose human kindness and love over hate.

"Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase," he said. "Everything that is done in the world is done by hope. Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree."

MLK also once said, "We must learn to live together as brothers and sisters or perish together as fools."
