Thomas Jefferson Thomas Jefferson was one of the foremost inventors of his time. Before becoming president, Thomas Jefferson was a diplomat, serving as minister to France and the first secretary of state. When he moved into the White House in 1801, he brought his affinity for cosmo- politan entertainment, European decor, and foreign cuisine with him. In fact, one of Jefferson’s favorite dishes was macaroni and cheese. It may not seem luxurious to- day, but at the time, it was a new and exciting dish to American dinner guests! In 1787, Jefferson’s secretary William Short traveled to Italy and wrote that he “procured at Naples according to your request the mould for making macaroni.” Upon returning to America, Jefferson served the pasta dish at his Monticello plantation, and later at the White House during his presidency. The reci- pe called for homemade pasta and other garnishes including cheese and vegetables. One guest at the Ex- ecutive Mansion recalled: “Dined at the President's…[had] pie called macaroni, which appeared to be a rich crust filled with the strillions of onions, or shallots, which I took it to be, tasted very strong...” The image shows a drawing of Jefferson’s macaroni machine in his own hand. President Jefferson’s in- terests in technology, culinary arts, and European culture are all present in this cheesy dish. Answers to Riddles 1. Gorilla 4. Mount Olympus 2. Claw 5, Pirate 3. A tree Scientists Find That Cats Love to Sit Inside Squares—Even Fake Ones Cats, like people, can be fooled by optical illusions, . The study, based on experiments conducted by pet owners at home, found that cats tend to sit inside 2D shapes that only look like squares about as often as they’ll sit inside a real square. The findings might give us a little more insight into cat cognition. Whether they’re big tigers or domestic felines, cats just seem to love wedging themselves into boxes, crates, or other four-sided objects. This fascination doesn’t stop at 3D objects either, even using tape to make the outline of a square on the floor will entice cats ready to plop down at a moment’s notice. Gabriella Smith, a recent master’s graduate from Hunter College in New York and animal cog- nition researcher, wondered: “Cats like boxes and even shapes outlined on the floor—would they sit in a box that is an illusion?” Pet owners were asked to use paper, scissors and some tape to cre- ate different shapes on the floor, including the 2D Kaniza illusions. The cats would enter the room and the pet owner would video the response. The cats would sit in the squares 8 times, the square 2D illusion 7 times and only once in any other illusion. Smith was careful to note that the study’s sample size is small, so its findings shouldn’t be seen as the final word on cats’ perception of optical illusions. But they do support a 1988 study conducted in the lab with trained cats, which also suggested that cats could be fooled by the Kanizsa illusion Something that’s still mysterious is exactly why cats love squares in the first place. There are some working theories, such as the idea that it reflects their attraction to tight-fitting spaces, or that it’s related to their predatory instincts. But these explanations don’t necessarily explain why From the Living Room Couch Janet Lutze * Roosevelt Presidency: While Theodore Roosevelt was changing the presidency with his youth and energy, his family was also transforming the roles and expectations of the First Family. After President William McKinley’s assassination in 1901, Theodore Roosevelt and his wife, First Lady Edith Roosevelt, moved their six children into the White House. In order to accommodate the large family, a new west wing was built the following year to house the offices of the president and his staff. Once the renovation was finished, the Roosevelts soon made the place their own. They bought and were gifted many pets, including a bear, a lizard, a hyena, many pigs, and their beloved pony, Algonquin and brought them to the White House. Plus, they turned the White House into a social hub, throwing elabo- rate parties large and small, including their daughter Alice’s wedding in 1906. However, thanks to Edith’s fervent efforts to protect her family’s privacy, the Roosevelt family was able to main- tain a degree of normalcy while residing in the White House. They were known to frequently ride horses and go hiking together as a family. Additionally, the children attended public school in Washington, D.C.

Climate: After reviewing climate normal from 1991-2020 across the US climatologists provide a baseline to compare yesterday’s weather and tomorrow’s forecast to a standard for each location and time of year, “They can be used to un- derstand the impacts of climate on many activities such as agriculture decision support, electricity load planning, build- ing heating requirements calculation, construction scheduling, and many other factors impacting all sectors of the econo- my.” Climate will continue to change in the U.S.
