For some cheese gourmets, the word ‘love’ simply doesn’t go far enough. The time is ripe to unite in praise…
Cheese Lovers Day is a true moment of celebration. What better time to honor the craft, patience and pleasure in one of our finest creations? Tastings, cheese rolling, special restaurant menus, costume parties and giant fondues have all been features of the day. What’s more, few foods have such a well-loved place in our language.

History

 | St. Sebastian's Day is celebrated throughout Latin America, but the dance-dramaEl Pochó, which takes place in Tenosique in Tabasco State, Mexico, on this day, is unique. On the morning of January 20, everyone gathers at the prearranged location: a house or a plaza. The pochoveras enter in their long skirts and embroidered blouses and perform the initial dance. Then the cojóes enter, wearingmasks with exaggerated features. Soon the tigres (jaguars) invade the dance space, and the cojóes and tigres play at hunting each other until, finally, they join forces to chase the audience. | ||

Britain's long-lost Beagle 2 spacecraft—launched in 2003 to search for life on Mars—has been spotted on the red planet, more than 11 years after it was last heard from. Deemed a "heroic failure" when contact with it was lost on December 19, 2003, the craft has been observed in recent images from the HiRISE camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. According to officials from the UK Space Agency, there is evidence that Beagle 2 landed on Mars as scheduled on Christmas Day 2003, but only partially deployed, likely due to a hard landing

If You Were Born Today, January 20
You are a responsible and reliable person who values security but doesn't always offer it! You have an unusual sense of humor, your own distinct style, and a real flair for handling money as well as for money-making ideas. In your life time, one of your biggest lessons is to develop faith in yourself and to trust in your intuition, which is strong and rarely steers you in the wrong direction. While it can take some time for your heart to be captured by another, once it is, you give a lot to the people you trust and love, and sometimes a little too much until you learn to ask that others meet you halfway. Famous people born today: George Burns, Bill Maher, Skeet Ulrich, David Lynch, Evan Peters.
