Podcast appearances and mentions of Edwin S Lowe

Welcome to December 3, 2022 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate beating the odds and rolling out the holiday spirit.  While the game of Bingo seems pretty straightforward, the game is far more complicated than you might think. It's estimated that there are over 500 septillion combinations of numbers that could appear on your bingo card. A septillion is a 1 with 24 zeros after it. It was Edwin S. Lowe, a salesman from New York who came up with the idea. He then hired a math professor who created 6,000 cards, each with a different non repeating combination of numbers. Bingo halls could make more money with these cards because they cut back on the number of winners. Celebrate Bingo's Birthday Month with a game that still makes us excited to beat the odds.  This is the week to roll out some dough and press it with your favorite holiday cookie cutters. Even the ancient Egyptians liked forming sweet cakes in various shapes and folks in Greece, Rome and Western Europe followed suit. By the 1500s Germans made carved wooden cookie molds and gingerbread men, women and houses popped out by the dozens. American tinsmiths of the 1700s made the cookie cutters we still love today. During National Cookie Cutter Week, roll out your own favorite tradition and watch the holiday cheer appear! I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day.

Welcome to December 11, 2021 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate one of our favorite ways to beat the odds and the little things that keep us connected.  This month recognizes the birthday of one of America's favorite games: Bingo. While it seems pretty straight forward, the game is far more complicated than you might think. It's estimated that there are over 500 septillion combinations of numbers that could appear on your bingo card. A septillion is a 1 with 24 zeros after it. No wonder people get so excited when they win! It was Edwin S. Lowe, a salesman from New York who came up with the idea. He then hired a math professor who created 6,000 cards, each with a different non repeating combination of numbers. Bingo halls could make more money with these cards because they cut back on the number of winners. Celebrate Bingo's Birthday Month with a game that still makes us excited to beat the odds.  In 1997, the Nokia 6110 phone introduced a simple arcade game called Snake, which is considered by many to be the first mobile app. Almost 20 years later the iPhone was released and with it, users could access nearly 500 apps. Today iPhone users can choose from almost 1.8 million of them and Android users have about 2.5 million. From navigation to learning and even performing surgery, apps have transformed our everyday lives. While they have come a long way from that first game of Snake, apps are still used to entertain us and keep us in touch with family and friends. On National App Day, celebrate the convenience of your favorite apps by sharing them with those you love.  I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day.
