has been celebrated for centuries with its own unique customs. Traditional food Japanese people eat a special selection of dishes during the New Year celebration called osechi-ryri ( or ?), typically shortened to osechi. This consists of boiled seaweed (, kombu?), fish cakes (, kamaboko?), mashed sweet potato with chestnut (, kurikinton?), simmered burdock root (, kinpira gobo?), and sweetened black soybeans (, kuromame?). Many of these dishes are sweet, sour, or dried, so they can keep without refrigeration--the culinary traditions date to a time before households had refrigerators, when most stores closed for the holidays. There are many variations of osechi, and some foods eaten in one region are not eaten in other places (or are even banned) on New Year's Day. Another popular dish is ozni (?), a soup with omochi (?) and other ingredients that differ based on various regions of Japan. Today, sashimi and sushi are often eaten, as well as non-Japanese foods.

2.1 Uses of energy in homes The ability to maintain desired temperatures is one of the most important accomplishments of modern technology. Our ovens, freezers, and homes can be kept at any temperature we choose, a luxury that wasn't possible 100 years ago. Keeping our homes comfortable uses a lot of energy. Over 40 percent of the average home's energy consumption is used for heating. Another 20 percent is used for water heating, 8 percent for cooling rooms, and 5 percent for refrigeration. Almost one-fourth of the energy used in homes is used for lighting and appliances. Lighting is essential to a modern society. Lights have revolutionized the way we live, work, and play. Picture 2.2. How energy is used in homes (2005) 5 Most homes still use the traditional incandescent bulbs invented by Thomas Edison. These bulbs convert only about ten percent of the electricity they use to produce light, the other

NATURAL LONGHAIRS: MAINE COON, NORWEGIAN FOREST CAT, SIBERIAN, GERMAN LONGHAIR In hotter climes, a short sleek coat is an advantage e.g. Siamese, Burmese. In harsh conditions, longhair cats fare better - they are insulated against the cold and their outer coat may have water repellent qualities. "Refrigerator Cats" were a strain allegedly developed in 19th Century Pittsburgh to control vermin in refrigeration plants, but actually the product of a newspaper story. Natural selection supposedly produced a race of "Eskimo cats" which were at home in the cold, having heavily furred coats, thick tails like Persians and tufted, lynx-like ears. Although the idea of natural selection favouring thick fur for a harsh climate is sound, a little investigation shows that no such race of cats existed. The American Maine Coon arose through natural selection in conditions which favoured robust, longhaired cats
