FIVE AMAZING FACTS ABOUT DELL MAGAZINES

New York, of course
Dell Publishing Company was founded in 1921 by New York-born George T. Delacorte, Jr. with the goal of entertaining readers who were sick of the often-ostentatious reading material of the time, an attitude on Delacorte’s part that also led him to erect statues of “Alice in Wonderland,” “The Tempest,” and “Romeo and Juliet” in his native city.

Signs of true distinction
Dell subsidiary “Asimov’s Science Fiction Magazine” has won the prestigious Locus Award 63 times.

What exactly is “super”?
In 1979, astrologer Richard Nolle’s definition of a supermoon (a full moon that coincides or nearly coincides with perigee [its point in orbit closest to the earth]) was first coined in “Dell Horoscope” magazine.

Within range of the commuter train
Dell Magazines’ current parent company, Penny Publications, is headquartered in Norwalk, Connecticut, the hometown of both conductor Vince Mendoza and baseball player Mo Vaughn.

A pen name and a character name
The “Ellery Queen” of Dell parent Penny Press’ “Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine” was the pseudonym of the two mystery writers Frederic Dannay and Manfred B. Lee, who co-wrote novels like “The Roman Hat Mystery” under the name.

WHY WE LOVE INTERNATIONAL SUDOKU DAY

Puzzles are fun!
Some of us love visual puzzles and prefer word searches. Others love word games and go gaga for crossword puzzles. But if you love numbers, math, and logic, Sudoku is a puzzle that's right up your alley.

We love a good challenge
It’s fun to be challenged, and Sudoku is excellent at making us think in tough new ways. There are varying degrees of difficulty to match your skills with the game that's right for you. Yes, it can be frustrating sometimes (if you throw your Sudoku book at the wall, just don’t hit a glass picture frame) — but there’s no judgment from fellow Sudoku lovers like us!

It keeps our minds sharp
Actively participating in things that exercise our brains, especially those that involve math, is a good way to keep our minds sharp. Sudoku can increase focus and concentration as well as alleviate depression. Studies also suggest that puzzles and word games help prevent Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Who knew Sudoku could be so good for your health?

5 Facts About Physical Therapy That Will Amaze You

Established in Canada
Thousands of soldiers were treated with physiotherapy in Canada during World War I — in fact, physiotherapy was frequently used as the first line of treatment.

It can eliminate the need for surgery
Physical therapy can keep a person from needing invasive surgery — according to research published in the ‘Annals of Internal Medicine’ in April 2015, it can help persons with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS, a lower back discomfort caused by a narrowing of the spine) avoid surgery.

Physiotherapy and physical therapy are the same
Many individuals consider physiotherapy and physical therapy to be two distinct concepts but, while some countries may distinguish between these two practices, in Canada, they are both used to refer to the same thing.

It dates back thousands of years
Physiotherapy has been traced back to thousands of years ago, with Hippocrates, the father of Western medicine, credited with inventing the profession — surprisingly, he treated his patients with water therapy, which is still in use today!

A non-pharmacological treatment alternative
While a patient may participate in physiotherapy while taking medicines, physiotherapists cure a person's diseases with drug-free, exercise-based therapies.

Why World Physical Therapy Day is Important

To honor physical therapists
It is celebrated to raise awareness about the critical role of physical therapists and chronic pain therapies in keeping people healthy and fit.

Physical therapy helps to overcome setbacks
Regardless of physical limitations, physical therapy can act as a tool to increase one's involvement in normal life events. A fantastic method to get in good condition for life.

It helps to manage age-related issues
Individuals may acquire arthritis or osteoporosis as they age, or they may require a joint replacement. Physical therapists are professionals at assisting patients in recovering from joint replacement surgery and managing arthritic or osteoporotic disorders conservatively.

World Duchenne Awareness Day — September 7, 2026

World Duchenne Awareness Day mobilizes global communities every September 7. This vital day aims to amplify understanding of Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophy, devastating genetic conditions that severely impact daily life. Join the movement to support research, advocate for better care, and empower affected individuals and their families.

5 Facts About Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

There’s a reason behind the date
W.D.A.D.’s date (7/9) stands for the 79 exons in the Duchenne gene.

The muscle-brain connection
The protein that is missing in the muscle is missing in the brain as well.

More common in males
Every year, one in 5,000 newborn boys has D.M.D.

The red balloon
The symbol for W.D.A.D. has been the red balloon since 2014.

Awareness is key
The lack of awareness of this is a major factor in the diagnostic delay.

Why World Duchenne Awareness Day is Important

It raises much-needed awareness about D.M.D.
There are innumerable patients and families affected by this disease that face a unique set of challenges every day. Raising awareness about the disease will help improve their lives and generate better help and resources for them.

It reaches out to stakeholders
By expanding the reach of this awareness campaign, more and more stakeholders are engaged and educated. This creates room for more efficient strategies to be adapted for the disease and to help those that live with it.

It helps to find homes
A very important objective of this day is to encourage potential parents to adopt those with D.M.D. Those living with this disease are deserving of love and care as much as anyone else and families that have the resources to help can change their lives and give them a place to call home.

Skyscraper Day — September 3, 2026

Skyscraper Day invites us to look up every September 3 and appreciate the towering architectural marvels that define our urban landscapes. These feats of engineering reshape cities, providing homes and offices high above the streets. Take a moment to admire the ingenuity behind these sky-high structures, explore their history, and share your favorite iconic buildings.

Skyscraper Day Activities

Visit the top of your local skyscraper
Chances are, you live within visiting distance of a skyscraper, and National Skyscraper Day is the perfect excuse to see your local skyscraper up close. Take a trip to your skyscraper and get a sense of the building from the inside. Ride the elevator (or dare to climb the stairs) to the top of the building and look out the window at the city around you. The top floors of many skyscrapers have restaurants, tours, or other ways to engage visitors, so poke around the offerings at your local skyscraper and have some fun!

Explore your local architecture or engineering
Most of us weren't cut out to be architects or engineers, but that doesn't mean you can't appreciate these two crucial professions and what they bring to many aspects of modern life. National Skyscraper Day is a great opportunity to learn about the styles of architecture in your area. Or if you prefer something a little less artsy, you can read up on the engineering challenges that were overcome to construct the skyscrapers near you. Every area is different, and regional construction challenges had an impact on how your local skyscrapers were built.

Build your own skyscraper
Most skyscrapers have a steel framework that works to support various curtain walls, but you can make a miniature version at home with building blocks, dry pasta and glue, or even toothpicks and tongue depressors. Decide on your materials ahead of time, and challenge your friends to a skyscraper contest! Give everyone the same amount of building time, and see who can make the tallest skyscraper of all. You could even hold a skyscraper party with a number of teams all competing for that top spot.

Why We Love Skyscraper Day

Their lofty top-down perspective
No matter how you slice it, there's one thing all skyscrapers have in common — they're tall. A modern-day skyscraper boasts at least 40 floors from bottom to top, and it can offer you some really unparalleled views of the surrounding cityscape. The higher you go, the smaller the bustle on the ground looks, and the tallest skyscrapers around the world can make the people and even the cars seem like tiny little ants. Whether you're struggling with some mundane problems or seeking a more big-picture outlook on life, there's nothing quite like looking down from the top of a skyscraper.

They bring the prestige
Whenever a new skyscraper makes the list of the world's tallest buildings, it creates a considerable amount of prestige for the city, state, and country it calls home. Skyscrapers really define the skyline from which a city derives a lot of its identity and unique personality. Hosting a skyscraper is really a mark of your city's economic prowess, and cities with more skyscrapers tend to see more business activity than cities with lower rooftops. If you've ever opted for a hotel's penthouse suite or felt impressed by a top-floor corner office, you've experienced the allure of skyscraper prestige firsthand.

They combine science and art
Though the official origins of National Skyscraper Day are unknown, it remains clear that skyscrapers are a true testament to the awesomeness of humanity. They are gargantuan projects that rely on heavy-duty science and the artistry of design in equal measure. Skyscrapers require brilliant architects who can design beautiful buildings that will proudly feature in the city skyline for generations to come. But skyscrapers also rely on ingenious engineers to turn architectural designs into a real-world plan of action founded on modern scientific principles.

World Coconut Day — September 2, 2026

World Coconut Day arrives every September 2, celebrating one of nature’s most versatile products. From its hydrating water to its rich oil and delicious flesh, the coconut offers endless possibilities. Explore new recipes, try a coconut-infused beauty product, or simply enjoy a refreshing coconut drink today.

5 Uses Of Coconut

Coconuts boost immunity
As a source of antioxidants, eating coconut and drinking its water can boost immunity and fight diseases.

Coconut is good for diabetes
Owing to their low-calorie and high fiber content, diabetics can eat more coconuts to help manage their blood sugar levels.

Coconut is miraculous for hair growth
Indians swear by coconut oil for nourishing their hair — not only does it condition hair, leaving it soft and luxurious, but it tackles a number of hair problems.

Coconut oil is great for the skin
From mosquito bites to anti-aging, coconut oil is useful in healing skin from scars, scabs, and wounds, as well as preventing dull skin.

Coconut as a garnish
Coconut is often shredded and added to different dishes to add taste and texture.

Why We Love World Coconut Day

There are so many ways to enjoy coconuts
Odds are that you have recently experienced coconut, in some form or another. If you haven’t had a smoothie or a cocktail or an entree made with coconut milk, coconut cream, coconut water, coconut oil, or the fruit itself, you may have washed your face, shampooed your hair, moisturized, or exfoliated with a coconut by-product. Coconut shells can be used as bowls, to make buttons, and to create the sound effect of horses’ hooves.

Coconuts are delicious
Coconut products add a scrumptious creaminess to any drink or dish. A smoothie takes on a tropical flair, while even the simplest curry gets depth from coconut milk. Raw coconut makes a perfect snack, and lends just the right amount of chewiness to baked goods. And unless your coconut has added sugar, it will work well in savory applications as well as sweet ones.

You guessed it — coconuts are nutritious
Is coconut the new kale? Well, probably not, but coconuts are high in iron, magnesium, fiber and protein. Coconut water provides potassium and sodium. In moderate amounts, coconut oil — a medium-chain fatty acid — is not harmful, although the jury is out on whether or not it’s helpful. And coconut products play prominent roles in gluten-free, soy-free, and vegan diets.
