While the holidays often see a surge in sales for Amazon’s Alexa devices, according to internal data obtained by Bloomberg, there are years when 15 percent to 25 percent of new Alexa users are no longer active within just their second week of using the device. The data show that many people don’t tap into the deep list of features offered by the devices, instead treating them as just an alarm or timer.

Niagara
Falls, Ontario, Canada. This one comes under the heading of it’s
always a good idea just to mind your own business. The cops had
pulled over a driver on suspicion of DUI. Our bozo, who had no
connection to the driver, approached the officer, began video
recording the scene, and started shouting obscenities. The cop
cautioned him and this seemed to further agitate our bozo, who then
spat in the officer’s direction. Bad idea. He fought back as the
officer tried to arrest him. Backup was called and our bozo was
hauled away, charged with obstructing a police officer, assaulting a
police officer, resisting arrest, and violation of probation.

“Doris
Day’s Carmel Home Is Beautiful, Butter Yellow & Sold”
Many
still remember the late Doris Day for her Christmas albums and shows
when she sang all the holiday favorites and the whole family huddled
in front of the television with a roaring fire in the fireplace.
Though she might have been singing about Christmas with snow falling
and people enjoying the store window decorations in the city, she was
living in California’s endless sunshine with her beloved dogs and
cats in Carmel. Doris Day's cheerful yellow house in one of the
state’s most charming towns was listed at $7.4 million, but with a
price reduction, it has recently sold for $5.7 million - a little
over two years after her death. As she wished, all proceeds will go
to the Doris Day Animal Foundation. This is the house where Doris
lived for forty years until her death in 2019 at age 97. Sited on
nine acres atop a knoll, the 7,000-square-foot home overlooks the
Carmel Valley and the Quail Lodge Golf Course. Doug and Lisa Steiny
of Sotheby’s Carmel Rancho Brokerage held the listing. For more

SCOOP OF THE DAY: Brought to you by BetterCreditCards.com
Scientists solved the problem of how to wrestle the lid off a jam jar. After a lengthy trial, researchers in the Netherlands published their solution: don’t screw the lid on too tightly in the first place. A research team (Delft University of Technology) enlisted 750 volunteers to open jars in an effort to crack the problem. They discovered that the ideal tightness was a torque of 2 newton-metres — tight enough that the seal would not break prematurely, but loose enough for most people to take off the lid.
It can be scary to ask for help. You don’t want to bother people, and you definitely don’t want to seem incompetent or unprepared. But some recent research from Harvard Business School found something reassuring: When you ask for advice, the people you’re asking tend to find you more competent, not less.
If people who run all the time make you LOL, there’s a reason to make fun of their certifiably crazy habits: In a review of 15 years’ worth of studies on the health benefits of running, researchers found that you don’t have to run all that much to max out on running’s health benefits. Lacing up just once or twice a week for just 50 cumulative minutes — no more than 6 miles per week — provides plenty of protection against cardiovascular disease, chronic disease, and early death by any cause. Running will certainly benefit your health but you need to look at what you’re eating too. Dieticians say it’s a myth that running will automatically result in weight loss. So remember the 80-20 rule: weight loss is 80 percent diet or nutrition and 20 percent exercise.

Sally
Hollingworth and her husband Neville were hunting for marine fossils
in Wiltshire when they came across the remains. Their find will be
discussed on a BBC program featuring Sir David Attenborough. Mrs
Hollingworth said the couple used a Neanderthal hand axe found at the
site to cut their wedding cake. It was the discovery of the axe that
led Mr and Mrs Hollingworth to believe they might have stumbled
across a significant find. In total, the remains of five mammoths -
two adults, two juveniles and an infant - were discovered but Mr
Hollingworth believes there may be many more animals buried at the
site, near Swindon.

A man accused of cursing, ‘flipping off Jesus,’ and causing a disturbance inside a Knoxville church on Sunday was later charged with disorderly conduct. Officers responded to First Baptist Concord Church around 11 a.m. where they said they found Anthony Beiler, 23, “cursing and flipping off Jesus and causing other parishioners to become afraid,” an incident report said. When officers asked Beiler to leave the church sanctuary, they said he refused. A police report indicates Beiler became verbally and physically combative forcing officers to restrain him and carry him out of the sanctuary. Beiler was taken into custody for disorderly conduct. https://www.wvlt.tv/app/2021/11/18/knoxville
