An Illinois family said a wall in their 9-year-old daughter’s bedroom has been picking up radio signals for years – and no one knows why. Richard Smith said voices and music were repeatedly heard inside the wall in daughter Brianna’s room at their Lockport home, and the family eventually determined something inside the wall was picking up a local AM radio station.<\/p>\n
The station, Christian radio station AM 1160, owned by Salem Media Group, sent out an engineer to investigate, but was unable to identify the issue. Smith said the wall was opened up and the electrical grounding was examined, but the family was still unable to figure out where the radio station was being picked up.<\/p>\n
______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n A company in Japan is giving its non-smoking employees an extra six days of vacation per year to compensate for smoking employees\u2019 cigarette breaks. The Tokyo-based marketing firm Piala Inc. introduced the perk after employees complained that they were working more hours than staff who took regular smoke breaks. The company\u2019s office is located on the 29th floor of a building, and resentment grew among non-smoking employees because smoking is only allowed on basement level, making each break last about 15 minutes.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n ENTERTAINMENT<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Kate Hudson and her brother Oliver were on “Ellen” and told a\u00a0story\u00a0of how Tom Cruise once scaled an 8-foot tall gate to get into a party they had at her parents’ house.<\/p>\n ________________________________________________<\/p>\n Production in Italy on Tom Cruise\u2019s upcoming \u201cMission: Impossible 7\u201d has been halted after a number of people in the county have been diagnosed with the coronavirus.
