A New York Times article on food included the news that a frozen turkey dinner from C.A. Swanson & Sons of Omaha was soon to be available in the newspaper’s home area for about $1. This was the first frozen meal of the “TV Dinner” type that was successfully sold across the U.S. An aluminium foil tray with a foil overwrap was filled with white and dark turkey slices, cornbread sage dressing and gravy, plus two separate segments contained green peas and mashed sweet potatoes with butter. Each 12-Oz dinner needed only about 25 minutes in a hot oven to be ready to eat from the disposable foil tray (no plate needed). Six months later, having had great response to the turkey meal, Swanson introduced a “TV Fried Chicken Dinner,” reported in the Times on 10 Jun 1954. “TV Dinner” was the Swanson brand.
PYRENEAN IBEX EXTINCT
January 6, 2000 - Ordesa National Park, Northern Spain
The last Pyrenean ibex was found dead under a fallen tree with a crushed skull, by forest rangers in the Ordesa National Park in northern Spain. The 13-year-old female, named Celia, was the last known survivor of Capra pyrenaica pyrenaica, one of the four subspecies of the Spanish ibex. Of those, another subspecies, the Portuguese ibex had already become extinct in 1892. Known locally as a backyard, Celia was studied by scientists while she lived in captivity within the park. Shortly before her death, they had taken tissue and blood samples to preserve the DNA for a cloning attempt. On 23 Jan 2009, a baby Pyranean ibex was born from a surrogate gate, becoming the first extinct species to be resurrected. Sadly, the baby died 7 minutes later due to lung defects. The Pyranean ibex was thus also the first species to go extinct twice.

A Change is Gonna Come
by Meredith Grey
"...Change; we don't like it, we fear it, but we can't stop it from coming. We either adapt to change, or we get left behind. It hurts to grow, anybody who tells you it doesn't is lying. But here's the truth: Sometimes the more things change, the more they stay the same. And sometimes, oh, sometimes change is good. Sometimes change is everything...."
