December seems to always be a busy month. Last minute Christmas shopping,
getting ready for family visits, and less daylight makes it seem like there just is less time to
get everything done. As we hustle around, and get everything ready this year, let’s all take
time to reflect on how blessed we are to live where we do and remember what Christmas

really is about.
My family wants to wish you a very Merry Christmas. Please keep safe and warm
this time of year, and if you see somebody that looks like they are in need, help them. It is
amazing to see how small kind gestures that sometimes go unnoticed can have such a great
and meaningful impact in somebody’s life, whether it is a quick hello or shoveling your
neighbor’s driveway. Let’s all pass on a spirit of kindness and giving as we usher in 2016.
Thanks for reading.

We’re approaching
our longest night here
in the northern
hemisphere, but with
the solstice the
daylight hours begin to
lengthen again.
In a few weeks the skies will fill with the creatures who journey
as the seasons turn: the robins, wrens and most distinctive of all,
the v-shaped flocks of Canada geese with their unique calls.

This month’s MegaTrivia question….
Which of these cities has the
largest population?
Each fall, Monarch
Butterflies make the
journey from Canada to
the southern States or
Mexico, a distance of
some 3,000 miles.
These journeys aren’t only for those with wings. Some creatures
travel great distances over land, mostly in response to the
presence or absence of food. The great Serengeti Migration in
Africa involves millions of wildebeest and their fellow travelers in a
circular trek over 1,800 miles long.
But the distance champion in the world of migrations remains
the Arctic tern, who travels almost pole to pole, Greenland to
Antarctica, for a round trip of 44,000 miles or 71,000 kilometers.
These little birds can live 30 years or more, so over the course of
its lifetime, an arctic tern will migrate around one and a half million
miles (almost two and a half million kilometers). That’s about
three trips to the moon and back again!
A New York City; B) Mexico City;
C) Delhi, India; D) Jakarta, Indonesia; or
E) Tokyo-Yokohama, Japan.

Thank You For The
Kind Words!
“Matt and Justin have been great
to work with, they helped us select
some great carpet and tile flooring
for our home remodel. They were
patient as we worked with painters
and other subcontractors
throughout our remodel. Best of all
they are standing behind their work
and making sure we are happy
with the end result. They made us
feel like valued customers and not
like this was just another carpet
job. We will always go back to
Capell flooring!” - Jake M.

Have you heard of the annual Ig-Nobel Awards? Modeled on the
Nobel Prizes, they are dedicated to the achievements that make
people laugh and then make them think. Here are some of the
winners:
Medicine - Alan Kligerman, inventor of Beano, for his work with
anti-flatulence liquids.
Chemistry - Ivette Bassa, for the invention of bright blue Jell-O.
Psychology - Shigeru Watanabe, Junko Sakamoto, and Masumi
Wakita of Keio University, for training pigeons to tell the difference
between the paintings of Monet and Picasso.
Art - Don Featherstone of Fitchburg, Massachusetts, for the
invention of the plastic pink flamingo.
Physics - Robert Matthews of England for studying Murphy's Law
and showing that toast does often fall on the buttered side.
Computer Science - Chris Niswander of Arizona for the software
PawSense, which detects a cat walking across your keyboard.
Physics - Andre Geim of the Netherlands, and Michael Berry of
England, for the levitation of a frog.
Peace - Daisuke Inoue of Japan for the invention of karaoke.
Physics - Lianne Parkin, Sheila Williams, and Patricia Priest of New
Zealand for showing that people slip and fall less often on icy surfaces
if they wear socks outside their shoes
Probability -Bert Tolkamp, Marie Haskell, Fritha Langford, David
Roberts, and Colin Morgan, who found that the longer a cow has been
lying down, the more likely it will stand up, but that once it stands up,
you cannot readily predict when it will lie down again.
Arctic science -Eigil Reimers and Sindre Eftestøl for studying how
reindeer react to humans disguised as polar bears.
Literature -Mark Dingemanse, Francisco Torreira, and Nick J.
Enfield, for discovering that a word equivalent to "huh?" seems to
exist in every language, though they could not determine why.
The Ig-Nobel Awards are the brainchild of Marc Abrahams, editor
and co-founder of the magazine Annals of Improbable Research.
The awards are handed out by actual Nobel Prize winners.
Watch for your name here in
a coming month!

Personalize Your Office Space
Whether you work at home or away from home, having a work space to
call your own is vital to your well-being and productivity.
Though you might not need a
piano beside your desk for
inspiration, it is important to
personalize your work area
with items that have meaning
for you, whether they’re
photos, artwork or stuffed
animals. Plants have a
beneficial influence as well.
Studies have proven that sterile cubicle-offices have a detrimental effect
on productivity. So keep it clean and tidy, but don’t hold back on the
personal touches!
