Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What favored Irish tradition ended in 2010?"



...Ireland is a land rich in culture and tradition. One of its more unusual traditions ended in 2010 when Diageo, the parent company for Guinness, decided to stop giving a free pint to those who donate blood. Diageo decided it was no longer an appropriate promotion of its product when the government announced it was lowering blood alcohol limits for drivers. Once promoted as a medicinal product, Guinness stopped this practice some time ago.

[Ans] Who began the tradition of celebrating the first day of a new year on Jan. 1?



Step 1 : Introduction to the question "

Who began the tradition of celebrating the first day of a new year on Jan. 1?"




In pre-Christian Rome under the  calendar, the day was dedicated to Janus, god of gateways and beginnings, for whom January is also named. As a date in the Gregorian calendar of Christendom, New Year's Day liturgically marked the Feast of the Naming and Circumcision of Jesus, which is still observed as such in the Anglican Church and Lutheran Church. In present day, with most countries now using the Gregorian calendar as their de facto calendar, New Year's Day is probably the most celebrated public holiday, often observed with fireworks at the stroke of midnight as the new year starts in each time zone. Other global New Year's Day traditions include making New Year's resolutions and calling one's friends and family.



Step 2 : Answer to the question "

Who began the tradition of celebrating the first day of a new year on Jan. 1?"



Julius Caesar :



The early Roman calendar was 304 days and divided into 10 months. The spring Equinox marked the beginning of each new year. As the centuries ticked by, the calendar fell out of sync with the sun. Roman emperor Julius Caesar decided to correct the problem in 46 B.C. He consulted the leading mathematicians and astronomers of his time, resulting in formulation of the Julian calendar, making Jan. 1 the first day of the year. Source: History.com

[Ans] According to Southern (U.S.A.) tradition, what are the best foods to eat for supper on New Year's Day?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "According to Southern (U.S.A.) tradition, what are the best foods to eat for supper on New Year's Day?"



The Southern United States (also the American South, Dixie, Dixieland and the South), is a region of the United States of America. The South does not fully match the geographic south of the United States, but is commonly defined as including the states that fought for the Confederate States of America in the American Civil War. The Deep South is fully located in the southeastern corner. Arizona and New Mexico, which are geographically in the southern part of the country, are rarely considered part, while West Virginia, which separated from Virginia in 1863, commonly is.


Step 2 : Answer to the question "According to Southern (U.S.A.) tradition, what are the best foods to eat for supper on New Year's Day?"



Black-eyed peas, collard greens and cornbread:


The Southern U.S. is all about tradition, one of which dictates what's for supper on New Year's Day. If good luck is the hope for the coming year, then the supper menu on New Year's Day should find black-eyed peas as the main course with side dishes of Southern-style collard greens and cornbread. Adding Hoppin' Jack, peas with ham and Pot Likker Soup is always a good idea, as well. For even more chances at good luck, have the leftovers for dinner (lunch) the following day.
