TIDBITS® GETS ILLUMINATED WITH NIGHT LIGHTS by Patricia L. Cook Children who are afraid of the dark often need a small night light to help them overcome their fear. This Tidbits is about small and large lights in the dark as well as neon lights that shine in some pretty fancy ways! Even on very dark nights, if you let your eyes adjust it is possible for most people to see well enough to walk around. The moon at night shining in the dark is not actually a light source since it does not produce its own light. The moon is visible because of the sun’s light that bounces off of it back to earth. When we see different phases (or sizes) of the moon it is because the earth revolves around the sun and the moon orbits the earth. The part of the moon that is reflecting depends on the angles or relative positions of the earth, moon and sun. The earth’s orbit also changes our view of the stars at night even though the stars are in fixed patterns. Astronomers who named many of the stars and constellations (named patterns of stars) years ago gave them Greek and Roman names that are still used today.

TIDBITS® GETS ILLUMINATED WITH

NIGHT LIGHTSby Patricia L. Cook

Children who are afraid of the dark often need a small night light to help them overcome their fear. This Tidbits is about small and large lights in the dark as well as neon lights that shine in some pretty fancy ways!

● Even on very dark nights, if you let your eyes adjust it is possible for most people to see well enough to walk around. ● The moon at night shining in the dark is not actually a light source since it does not produce its own light. The moon is visible because of the sun’s light that bounces off of it back to earth. When we see different phases (or sizes) of the moon it is because the earth revolves around the sun and the moon orbits the earth. The part of the moon that is refl ecting depends on the angles or relative positions of the earth, moon and sun.● The earth’s orbit also changes our view of the stars at night even though the stars are in fi xed patterns. Astronomers who named many of the stars and constellations (named patterns of stars) years ago gave them Greek and Roman names that are still used today. ● The most well-known constellations are the “Big Dipper” and “Little Dipper.” The “dippers” are part of Ursa Major and Ursa Minor, which mean Greater Bear and Smaller Bear.

● Many children the world over hear a song about the night sky long before they learn to talk. Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star was published by Jane Taylor and her sister, Ann, in England in 1806. Their second book of children’s poems, Rhymes for the Nursery, includes the poem, The Star, written with fi ve verses. Only the fi rst verse is widely sung, with an occasional addition of verse two. ● The tune for Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star is actually older than the poem. It originated in France, fi rst seen in print in Paris in 1761. The tune was fi rst associated with a French song, Ah! Vous dirai-je, Maman, which is translated Ah! Will I tell you Mommy. It is still popular with French children. ● Another “tune” that came from Paris was the quiet buzz of neon lights. Georges Claude, a chemist, engineer, and inventor was a pioneer in the development of neon lighting. ● Neon gas was fi rst discovered in 1898. The word neon was chosen for the gas from the Greek word “neos” which means “new gas.”● Two predecessors to neon lights were the Geissler Moore tubes that used pressurized gas in tubes with electric volts to make colorful lights. When neon was discovered it proved to be a more lasting gas for tube lights. Neon was in short supply until Georges Claude’s company, “Air Liquide,” began producing large quantities. Claude made his fi rst neon light in 1902 and fi rst displayed his invention at the Paris Motor Show in December, 1910, with two 39 foot long (12 m) bright red tubes of neon light. ● Claude received his fi rst patent for neon lighting in Paris in 1911 and another in the United States in 1915. ● (There is some historical evidence that Perley G. Nutting, a physicist who started the Optical Society of America, displayed the fi rst neon light at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in 1904.)

● On May 1, 1926, Ford Motor Company becomes one of the first companies in America to adopt a five-day, 40-hour week. In early 1914, Ford had announced it would pay workers a minimum wage of $5 per eight-hour day, upped from a previous rate of $2.34 for nine hours.

● On April 30, 1939, the New York World's Fair opens in New York City on a 1,200-acre site at Flushing Meadow Park in Queens. Among the new technology exhibited was FM radio, robotics, fluorescent lighting and a crude fax machine.

● On May 3, 1946, in Tokyo, the International Military Tribunals begins hearing the case against 28 Japanese military and government officials accused of committing war crimes during World War II. The trial ended with 25 of 28 Japanese defendants being found guilty. Of the three other defendants, two had died during the trial, and one was declared insane.

● On May 5, 1955, the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) becomes a sovereign state when the United States, France and Great Britain end their military occupation, which had begun in 1945. With this action, West Germany was given the right to rearm and become a full-fledged member of the western alliance against the Soviet Union.

● On May 2, 1964, an explosion of a charge assumed to have been placed by Viet Cong terrorists sinks the USNS Card at its dock in Saigon. No one was injured and the ship was eventually raised and repaired. The Card had arrived in Saigon two days earlier.

● On May 4, 1970, at Kent State University in Ohio, students protesting the Vietnam War torch the ROTC building on campus, and Ohio Gov. James Rhodes called in the National Guard to restore order. The Guardsmen fired into the crowd, killing four and wounding 11. They were later brought to trial for the shootings, but found not guilty.

● On April 29, 1986, in a game against the Seattle Mariners at Fenway Park, Roger Clemens of the Boston Red Sox becomes the first pitcher in Major League Baseball to strike out 20 batters in a nine-inning game. Ten years later, Clemens repeated the feat.

DEAR PAW'S CORNER: My dog "Beaver," a medium-size mutt of undetermined parentage, has a bit of a weight problem. The veterinarian says he's borderline obese. I've tried feeding him a limited diet as the vet recommended, but he's miserable. What else can I do to help him slim down? -- Clark D., Seattle

DEAR CLARK: Helping a pet lose weight can be diffi cult. Like us humans, it's the lifestyle as well as diet that make it easier to pack on the pounds. So, beyond just feeding Beaver less, his daily activities have to change signifi cantly too.For the next two weeks, carry a notepad around with you. When you feed Beaver, jot down what and how much he ate. When you walk him, note how far or for how long the walk was, whether he was energetic or not, and whether you two played fetch or ran around off the leash, and so on.Then, review those notes. You'll see a pattern of activity

and diet there -- and you'll be better informed and aware than even your dog's veterinarian is. Armed with that information you can add to Beaver's activity level, extend his walks, spend more time playing his favorite games. Combining an increased activity level with the special diet the vet recommended will help your dog lose weight.The biggest benefi t to this increased activity will be the improved relationship you develop with Beaver. He'll no longer just be a lovable dog lounging around the house; with a few weeks of regular activity, I predict both of you will look forward to those longer walks and play times.

NIGHT LIGHTS (continued)● The fi rst commercial neon sign was sold to a barber shop in Paris in 1912, by Jaques Fonseque, an associate of Claude. ● When red and blue tubes of neon lights were installed decorating the Paris Opera House in 1919, the colors became known as “Opera Colors.”● Claude sold the fi rst neon sign in America, actually two, to a Packard Car dealership in Los Angeles in 1923. The price: $24,000! Neon quickly caught on in the advertising world. ● The “liquid fi re” signs began dominating outdoor advertising displays in American cities from Times Square in New York to Los Angeles. Las Vegas quickly became a city fi lled with neon on the borders of signs and buildings, architectural accents and even neon animations. ● Today, many of the fi rst neon signs and displays in Las Vegas have become part of the Neon Museum. The Museum has three components: the Downtown Gallery, the Neon Boneyard, and the Las Vegas Signs project. ● By the way, Georges Claude was imprisoned from 1945-1949 by the French government for collaborating with the Germans in World War II.● Claude’s patents were good but they did not stop others from “taking off” from his work. Charles J. Wamser created his sign company with neon technology that was slightly different from Claude’s patents.● Wamser’s company, Sheet Metal Products, Inc., was started in a rented garage in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and started mass producing signs in the late 1920s. His company, now named Everbrite, is still a worldwide leader in the lighting and branding of companies.

● It was beloved American humorist Will Rogers who made the following sage observation: "Everything is funny as long as it's happening to somebody else."

● In 1952, in an otherwise rather uninteresting hockey game, Bill Mosienko, right wing for the Chicago Black Hawks, scored an amazing three goals against the New York Rangers in 21 seconds.

● You probably know that the phrase "rack your brain" means to think hard, but did you ever wonder where the term originated? The rack being referred to is the medieval torture device on which victims were stretched, sometimes until limbs were dislocated. The idea is that when you're thinking very hard, you're undergoing a sort of mental torture.

● The venerable diner saw its peak as a place for a casual meal in the late 1940s, when there were around 7,000 of them across the country. Today there are only about 2,000.

● A fully mature oak tree gives off 7 tons of water every day through its leaves.

● Farmers in Turkey marched on both the American and Soviet embassies in 1967, demanding reparations for crops that they lost to floods. Why were the Americans and Soviets to blame for floods in Turkey? The farmers claimed that the flights of spacecraft created "holes in the sky."

● The idea for the Tooth Fairy seems to have originated in Germany, but the tradition has changed over the years. Instead of putting the tooth under a pillow, Germans used to put the tooth in a rat hole in the hope that the new tooth would grow in to be as strong as the teeth of the rat.

NIGHT LIGHTS (continued)● Many of the “neon” signs that dotted the landscapes in North America were not all neon. People use the name “neon” for lights of all colors but actually neon lights are red. Other gases used with neon produce different colors. Argon is most widely used, along with mercury and phosphor. There are now over 150 colors that can be produced. ● Neon signs were most popular in the 1950s. By the 1960s neon lights were being replaced with cheaper lighting. ● As in fashion, many things of old come back to be popular again. In 1999, the Route 66 Corridor Restoration Act, helped to put neon signs of old back in the public eye. Many of the monuments to the past, including the neon signs that dotted Route 66 were restored and reinstalled. ● Artists and historians have not only helped to revive the “retro” looking neon signs in cities and along highways, but “Neon Art” is now considered at art form.● Not only can you see old neon in the museum in Las Vegas, new and specialized neon art is on display in Los Angeles. In 1981, the Museum of Neon Art (MONA) opened, being the only museum in the world to specialize in neon as an art. ● Whether you prefer your night light in a small electric bulb or out in a city looking at the fancy displays or on a camping trip looking at stars and the moon in the sky, these all provide wonderful lights in the dark of night.

SUSAN B. ANTHONY

Susan B. Anthony was a woman ahead of her times in many ways. She held abolitionist views along with her Quaker family and was a part of the “feminist movement” many years before it became a large movement in the 1960s.

● Born on February 15, 1820, Susan B. Anthony was the second of eight children born to Daniel and Lucy Anthony in Adams, Massachusetts. Her father owned the local cotton mill until the business failed in the late 1830s. He moved his family several times, ultimately establishing roots in Rochester, New York. ● Her parents were actively involved in ending slavery and leading abolitionist were often guests in the Adams’ home. She heard the views of Frederick Douglass, Wendell Phillips and William Lloyd Garrison, active speakers against slavery, often when they visited.● Anthony attended a Quaker school in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and ultimately entered the teaching profession. She became the preceptress, or lady principal, at Canajoharie Academy, in Canajoharie, New York for two years in the late 1840s. At age 26, she earned $110 per year at the academy. ● After Anthony left the academy, she went on to speak at teacher’s conventions in New York and Massachusetts, calling for equal educational opportunities at all schools, including colleges and universities. ● Anthony worked as an agent for the American Anti-Slavery Society in 1856, promoting the cause up until the Civil War. She met Elizabeth Cady Stanton and joined with her as a major speaker and contributor to seek more rights for women and end slavery.

● Following the Civil War, Anthony focused more on women’s rights. In 1866, with Stanton, she helped establish the American Equal Rights Association. The organization was very vocal in calling for equal rights for all regardless of sex or race. ● In 1868, Anthony and Stanton produced a weekly publication, The Revolution, used to promote the cause of women’s rights. The motto for the paper was “Men their rights, and nothing more; women their rights, and nothing less.” ● Anthony and Stanton continued working together when founding the National Woman Suffrage Association in 1869. (Suffrage means “the right to vote.”) Anthony spoke around the nation. (This organization merged with a similar one and became the National American Woman Suffrage Association – NAWSA).● Anthony never married. She devoted her life to fi ghting for the rights of herself as a woman and others, including those of minority races. ● Anthony met with President Theodore Roosevelt in 1905, to lobby for an amendment to give women the right to vote. She never gave up – but she never saw the change she worked so hard for, dying in 1906. The 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, giving all adult women the right to vote, was not ratifi ed until 1920. ● The U.S. Mint offi cially released Susan B. Anthony Dollar coins on July 2, 1979, in Rochester, New York, the city where Anthony lived during her most politically active years. Anthony was the fi rst woman to be honored with her likeness on a coin in the U.S. The mint produced 888,842,452 Susan B. Anthony coins, which are either in collectors’ hands or in circulation today.

The long white trails of clouds that are formed when airplanes fl y across the sky are called contrails. When the “friendly skies” are busy there are many crisscrossing lines.

● The word contrail is short for “condensation trail.” Webster’s Dictionary defi nes contrails as “streaks of condensed water vapor created in the air by an airplane or rocket at high altitudes.”● Contrails are considered “man-made” clouds since they are formed by airplane exhausts. Water vapor condenses and freezes when air around planes and particles (aerosols) from the exhausts hits the cold temperatures present at high altitudes where airplanes fl y.● Contrails are formed above 30,000 feet, which is approximately 5-6 miles (9-10 km) above the earth where the air is extremely cold; less than -40° F (-40° C). ● An interesting way to think of contrails is to compare when you exhale warm moist air in cold winter temperatures and “see your breath.” The damp, warm air coming from your lungs adds moisture to the air forming condensation. Usually the condensation from your breath evaporates in less than a second. Condensation from jet airplanes, in the form of contrails, can last quite a while, sometimes even for hours if the conditions are right. ● Just like natural clouds, contrails are made of water and ice crystals. Depending on air conditions, contrails can last only a few minutes and be fairly small or they can grow miles long and remain visible for hours. The tiny moisture droplets in contrails freeze instantly and can’t evaporate or melt. They eventually fade away in what is called “sublimation,” when the solid particles turn to gas. It is the same situation as when dry ice ‘dissolves’ back into the air. ● The fi rst recorded spotting of a contrail happened over Italy in 1915 by a man named Ettenreich who said, “the condensation of a cumulus stripe from the exhaust gases of an aircraft” was visible for a while in the sky.● Real interest in contrails and more published reports came about during World War II. It was at that time that more aircraft were produced and used in combat that had the ability to reach high altitudes.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I had an echocardiogram. The fi ndings are consistent with "moderate to severe aortic stenosis with trace mitral and tricuspid regurgitation and mild pulmonic insuffi ciency, with left atrial enlargement and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. The ejection fraction is greater than 65 percent." My doctor referred me to a cardiologist, who told me I need surgery. I am 86 years old and do not feel it would be safe. Will you explain in plain English what I have, and if surgery would lengthen my life span? -- M.I.

ANSWER: Forget about the mitral, tricuspid and pulmonic heart valves. These three valves have an insignifi cant leak. Your aortic valve, however, is your main problem. The aortic valve closes after the heart pumps blood out to the rest of the body. Your valve is so narrow (stenosis) that it creates an obstacle to emptying the heart of blood. That has given rise to "diastolic dysfunction." Your heart can't fi ll with blood normally, as it should between heartbeats (diastole). It is less stretchable. The aortic valve trouble has caused it to thicken.Early on in aortic stenosis, all goes well. When the valve narrows to a critical size, about 1 square centimeter, symptoms arise, and heart damage progresses more rapidly. The three most important symptoms and signs of aortic stenosis are shortness of breath when up and about, chest pain with activity and fainting spells. Once these symptoms appear, a downhill course in heart health is to be expected.

Age No Barrier to Heart Valve Repair

Even though you're 86, age is not a contraindication to surgery. If your health is otherwise good, you could be a candidate for it. Discuss with the doctor the surgery he has in mind. Ask if you might be able to receive a new valve inserted into the heart through a surface blood vessel by way of a catheter. No extensive incisions are made. It's a less-traumatic procedure. Replacement of your heart valve will increase your life span and will do away with the severe symptoms that come from a narrowed aortic valve.The booklet on heart-valve disorders describes the more common causes of heart-valve problems and how they are treated.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: What elevates a person's white blood cell count? What can a person do about it? Mine has been high for a while. -- B.L.

ANSWER: White blood cells are the body's warriors. They fi ght germs and perform other tasks to protect the body from infection. The normal white blood cell count is 5,000 to 10,000.Infections, infl ammation, trauma, some noninfectious illnesses, leukemia and stress (including emotional stress) raise the count. So do dehydration and cortisone medicines.If no illnesses are found, it's not unusual to ignore the higher-than-normal count. If suspicions of hidden illness are high, then further testing has to be done -- like a bone marrow test. A person can do nothing on his own to lower the count.

Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

CONTRAILS (continued)● Hundreds of aircraft working together over Europe generated so many contrails that formations were hard to keep and targets hard to fi nd. On the contrary, positions could be spotted by the enemy making aircraft vulnerable to enemy attack. ● H. Appleman, an American scientist, in 1953, and E. Schmidt, a scientist in Germany, independently studied contrails and developed the theory of contrail formation, called the Schmidt-Appleman Criterion that is still accepted today. ● The accepted theory of the two scientists “showed that the threshold temperature depended on the ambient pressure, temperature and humidity outside of the aircraft, and on the ratio of water vapor and heat released into the atmosphere by the aircraft exhaust.” Appleman published a chart that is used to determine if and when aircraft produce contrails. ● One of the biggest events that allowed scientists to observe the absence of contrails happened after the attacks on America on September 11, 2001. The skies were cleared of traffi c, except for a few military aircraft, for approximately 2 days. Even after these observations, there is still not a defi nitive answer among scientists about the effects of contrails on the environment.

● To ripen a green tomato, wrap it in a sheet of newspaper or place it in a paper bag. It can then be left on the counter for several days to ripen.

● To keep ice crystals from forming on the top of your quart of ice cream, just cut a square of plastic wrap and push it down onto the surface of the ice cream each time you scoop a bowlful out. It peels off easily when you're ready for another helping, but there's no ice! It works for me!" -- T.D. in Nebraska

● White vinegar will clean fruit or food-coloring stains from your hands -- and most other places, too!

● F.J. of Texas writes: "Keep a fresh roll of unscented toilet tissue in the kitchen to clean up the stove and countertop. It works well because of its absorbency, and it saves money on expensive paper towels."

● "If you add a teaspoon of sugar to your biscuit mix or to the dough for rolls, it will help them to brown well and they will come out of the oven with golden tops." -- Jan R. of Michigan

● "You can get five or six more uses out of a pump-top lotion bottle if you cut off the top to access the lotion inside that doesn't come out of the pump once the level is too low. You'd be surprised how much is still in there!

Seniors older than 65 who have higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids in their blood benefi t from reduced mortality risk, specifi cally from heart disease, according to a study by the Harvard School of Public Health and the Univer-sity of Washington.The 16-year study gathered information on three spe-cifi c types of fatty acid: docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which is related to lower risk of death from heart disease; eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), which is linked to lower risk of non-fatal heart attacks; and docosapentaenoic acid (DPA), which is associated with lower risk of stroke death.The study concluded that adults with higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids in their blood:

--reduce their overall mortality risk by as much as 27 per-cent;--lower their risk of dying of heart disease by 35 percent;--can extend their lives an average of 2.2 years.This can be accomplished, the study said, by increasing the level of fatty-acid foods (fatty, oily fi sh) from little or none to a moderate amount, about two servings per week, or an average of 400 mg per day.Some researchers have declared the study faulty, how-ever, because it didn't specifi cally address the consump-tion of fi sh. It also excluded participants who took fi sh oil supplements and concentrated on the levels of fatty acid in the blood.If you're curious about this study, ask your doctor if it would be appropriate for you to add one or two servings of fi sh per week to your diet. The types of fi sh classifi ed as "fatty" include cold-water albacore tuna, trout, salmon, sardines, herring and mackerel. Other ways to get ome-ga-3 include eggs, walnuts and canola oil.

Eat Fish, Live Longer

Clinical Trials for Alzheimer'sIf you're a Vietnam veteran, the Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study might need your help. It's been do-ing a clinical trial about Alzheimer's disease in Viet-nam veterans who have traumatic brain injury (TBI) or post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), with or with-out any symptoms of Alzheimer's. The purpose of the study is to learn how previous inju-ries affect veterans as they age, which will add to the information needed to help those injured in Afghani-stan and Iraq. Researchers will be able to identify vet-erans who are at increased risk for Alzheimer's dis-ease, and create preventive treatments. It sounds very worthwhile.The study, called Brain Aging in Vietnam War Veter-ans by the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initia-tive, will take place at ADNI locations at 19 universi-ties and research centers in 11 states.During the clinical trial, researchers will study chang-es in the brain scans, cognitive tests and cerebrospinal fl uid. Three separate groups will be studied: Vietnam veterans with TBI but without PTSD, and having mild cognitive impairment; Vietnam veterans with PTSD but no TBI or cognitive impairment; and control-group Vietnam veterans with no TBI or PTSD who are comparable in age. Basic criteria:--Men and women 50 to 90 years of age.--Must live within 150 miles of testing site.--If receiving VA disability payments, they must be for something other than TBI or PTSD, or no disability at all.--There are specifi c criteria for TBI and PTSD, as well as medical condition exclusions, so refer to the infor-mation at www.clinicaltrials.gov (see trial identifi er NCT01687153).For more information, you can send email to [email protected], or call 1-415-221-4810, exten-sion 4593. To fi nd out more about eligibility criteria and locations, call 1-800-438-4380.

If April's showers are keeping your kids inside, surprise them with rainy-day fun that will spark their creativity. Stir up several batches of puffy paint for paper using the simplest of ingredients: fl our, salt and water. Add coloring, and the kids will be able to make doodles and designs that will have a sparkly "puff" effect as they dry. It's an inexpensive, non-toxic concoction that's not only easy to mix, but virtually messless because the paint is applied with a recycled squeeze bottle.Here's the stuff you'll need for two colors:1 cup white fl our1 cup plain table salt1 cup waterposter paint or food coloring2 plastic squeeze bottles with spout, such as recycled honey bear bottlesHere's the fun:In a medium-size mixing bowl, stir together the fl our, salt and water until smooth. It should be thick and pourable like a milkshake. Divide the mixture into two bowls. Add some paint or a few drips of food coloring and stir each one until blended. If your mixtures are too thick, add water a half-teaspoon at a time. Pour into the two squeeze bottles.On a newspaper-covered work surface, squeeze the paint onto a sheet of heavy paper or poster board to create designs. When fi nished, set aside to dry. The paint will puff on its own as it dries. For best results, use the paint within two to three days. Fun things to paint:--Draw small designs on heavy notecard paper. Add envelopes and tie with a ribbon for a gift. Or, make a collection of gift tags by punching a hole in the corner and adding string. --Make a frame for a painting or photo using a recycled cereal box. Cut a cereal box into two rectangular shapes larger than what you are framing, with one piece slightly larger than the other. The larger of the two pieces is the frame and the small piece is the backing. Cut out the center of the frame to leave an opening for the art or photo to show. Now it's time to decorate it! Paint the plain side of the frame by squeezing some puffy paint on it. Spread the paint out thinly with a paintbrush to cover the cardboard. Let dry, then squeeze fun designs on the painted frame. Let dry.Attach your photo or artwork to the backing with tape. Place the frame on top and tape in place.
