FLIGHT

Beverly Maitland

by Janet Spencer On May 15, 1930 Ellen Church became the first female flight attendant. Previously, the co-pilot or ‘cabin boys’ were responsible for serving passengers. Come along with Tidbits as we take to the skies!

www.kaitykakes.com

ELLEN CHURCH Ellen Church was a trained pilot, and in 1930 she applied for a job as a pilot. She was turned down, but when they found out she was also a nurse, she was hired to serve as a stewardess because it was thought that having a nurse aboard would reassure passengers. At first, all stewardesses were nurses. Ellen’s career as a stewardess was cut short when she was injured in a car accident after just 18 months. She was a nurse for the rest of her life.

• About 650 million people travel on U.S. airlines annually and there are over 100,000 flight attendants to serve them.

• A typical flight attendant will serve on three flights in a single work day. Each craft holds about 270 people. That’s over 800 passengers to deal with every single day.

FLIGHT (continued):

FYI FLIGHT FACTS

• The reason you have to return your tray table to its upright and locked position is so you won’t impale yourself on it if the plane crashes.

The reason you have to return your seat to its upright position is to make evacuation easier in event of a disaster, to minimize whiplash, and to prevent you from slipping under your seat belt in the event of a sudden stop. The reason you have to turn off headphones is so you can hear emergency announcements. The reason you have to raise your window shade is so you’ll have a better feel for which way is up and give you better orientation if there’s an accident, as well as making it easier for rescuers to see inside. The reason you have to stow your carryon items and put away your computers is to avoid having them act like airborne missiles. Lights are dimmed so you’re not blinded by light while dashing through smoke.

• Because people seated in the exit row might be called upon to open the emergency exit, there are 3 rules governing who gets to sit there. First, you have to be over 15 years old. Second, you must speak English. Third, you cannot require a seat belt extension. This is because you have to be able to see the exit; you have to be able to verbally direct people to the exit; and you have to be physically capable of opening the exit.

FLYING BY THE NUMBERS • The average number of people airborne over the U.S. at any moment: 61,000.

• Percent of first class passengers who are paying full fare rather than upgrades, frequent flyer members, or airline employees: 25%.

• The busiest airports in the U.S. are Hartsfield in Atlanta and O’Hare in Chicago. Number of flights they service annually: 1 million.

• Average time between take-offs at O’Hare: 37 seconds.

• Number of flights handled per hour at peak times at O’Hare: 210.

• Number of hot dogs sold annually at O’Hare, more than any other place: 2 million.

• If your flight is delayed, be aware that flight attendants are paid only from the time a plane pushes back from the gate until it opens its doors at the next city. The most stressful part of every work day – the boarding and the deplaning – is not on the clock for most flight attendants. They don’t get paid anything at all if a plane is delayed while the passengers are still in the terminal, and they’re paid a fraction of their regular salary if the loaded plane sits on the tarmac for more than an hour. Therefore, flight attendants are just as frustrated by delays as you are.

• John was 18 in 1848 when he got a job in an optical shop in Switzerland. The following year he moved to Rochester, New York, and opened his own optical shop, manufacturing monocles, spectacles, and field glasses. His friend Henry made a financial investment in the business and they became partners.

• One day John found a discarded piece of Vulcanite rubber. Experimenting, he discovered he could make eyeglass frames from the material.

At that time, eyeglasses were made from either gold or horn. When the Civil War started, the price of gold and horn rose, and the demand for John’s Vulcanite glasses skyrocketed.

• In 1860 he invented the first machine to produce glass lenses. As scientific research gained momentum, his machines also produced lenses for microscopes, telescopes, and cameras.

• John’s son William revolutionized the industry by inventing a new process of making lenses by casting them out of molten glass. During the two World Wars, the company was asked to provide troops with gunsights, periscopes, target finders, and searchlight mirrors.

• Because pilots suffered from high-altitude glare, the company produced sunglasses that used a polarized filter to absorb light. They had a large oval frame to shield an aviator’s eyes which needed to repeatedly glance down toward the instrument panel. These glasses became enormously popular and are still sold today. The company also expanded into contact lenses.

• The company is named after the last names of John and his financial backer, Henry. What is the name of the company? Bonus points for naming the sunglasses. (Answer next page.)

by Samantha Weaver • It was noted 20th-century British playwright Tom Stoppard who made the following sage observation: “It is better to be quotable than to be honest.”

• You’ve probably seen ventriloquists perform, but you may not realize that it’s a skill not limited to humans. The crested bellbird, which can be found in the wetlands of Australia and Venezuela, throws its voice in order to misdirect predators.

• Bibliophiles beware: Using a public library can carry hidden risks, as a 20-year-old woman in Wisconsin discovered when she checked out “White Oleander” and “Angels and Demons.”

Heidi Dalibor never returned the books, and she didn’t respond to letters or phone calls requesting that she return the books and pay the overdue fine. Eventually, Dalibor was arrested by local police, who handcuffed and fingerprinted her, and she wasn’t released until her bail was paid.

• We’ve all heard the childhood tale of George Washington chopping down a cherry tree, then ‘fessing up because he could not tell a lie. Most history books don’t mention other aspects of his childhood, though; for instance, did you know that our first president, when he was 10 years old, was a champion wrestler and long jumper?

• If you were a member of the middle class in Victorian England, you might have spent an enjoyable afternoon with friends on a boat, searching for bizarre sea creatures.

This popular pastime was known as “monster spotting.”

• Those who study such things say that the smallest vertebrate in the world is a type of carp: The Paedocypris progenetica grows to be less than half an inch long. *** Thought for the Day: “A husband is what is left of the lover after the nerve has been extracted.” -- Helen Rowland (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

• By the time John Bausch died in 1926, his company was making 17,000 products and creating 28% of U.S. eyeglass lenses.

• During the Great Depression, military products represented 70% of total production of the Bausch & Lomb line.

• Just when televisions became popular in the American home and cinemas were beginning to decline, Bausch & Lomb invented the CinemaScope lens. The new lens made the “wide screen” effect possible, enabling cinemas to double screen width. The company was awarded an honorary Oscar for this.

• The company sold 16,000 pairs of Ray-Bans in 1982, but after Tom Cruise wore them in the 1983 film Risky Business, sales jumped to 360,000.

• On May 13, 1607, some 100 English colonists arrive in Virginia to found Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in North America. The first colonial council was held by seven settlers whose names had been chosen and placed in a sealed box by King James I. • On May 14, 1904, the Third Olympiad of the modern era opens in St. Louis, Missouri.

Like the Second Olympiad, held in Paris in 1900, the St. Louis Games were poorly organized. There were few entrants other than Americans in the various events, and, expectedly, U.S. athletes won a majority of the competitions.

• On May 16, 1849, the New York City Board of Health is finally able to establish a hospital to deal with a cholera epidemic that would kill more than 5,000 people. The disease took hold on Dec. 1, 1848, when a ship arrived from France carrying the bodies of seven passengers who had died from cholera.

• On May 15, 1937, Madeleine Albright, America’s first female secretary of state, is born in Prague, Czechoslovakia (now the Czech Republic). After immigrating to the United States in 1948, her father, Josef Korbel, became dean at the University of Denver, where he would later train another female secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice.

• On May 12, 1957, race-car driver A.J. Foyt scores his first professional victory, in a U.S. Automobile Club midget car race in Kansas City, Missouri. Foyt raced midgets and stock cars before moving up to bigger things in 1958, when he entered his first Indianapolis 500 race.

• On May 17, 1970, Norwegian ethnologist Thor Heyerdahl and a multinational crew set out from Morocco across the Atlantic Ocean in Ra II, a papyrus sailing craft modeled after ancient Egyptian sailing vessels. The Ra II crossed the 4,000 miles of ocean to Barbados in 57 days.

• On May 11, 1985, 50 people die in a fire in the grandstand at a soccer stadium in Bradford, England. The wooden roof, which burned in just four minutes, was scheduled to be replaced by a steel roof later that same week. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

• Bausch & Lomb worked for three years to develop soft contact lenses, which came on the market in 1971. Previously all contact lenses had been made of glass or acrylic, which were hard and often painful. The new lenses were softer, and were marketed with the brand name “Soflens.” The value of company stock tripled.

• The company’s most advanced contact lens called “PureVision” are so oxygen-permeable that they can remain in the eye up to 30 days without being taken out at night.

• About 25% of their business revolves around the manufacture of lens-care products, including cleaning and disinfectant solutions.

• Globally, Bausch & Lomb is one of the largest producers of contact lenses.

The company headquarters is still in Rochester, New York, although there are production plants all over the planet. Today, about 13,000 employees in 36 countries work for Bausch & Lomb.

QUIZ: A DELIVERY COMPANY • Frederick Smith’s grandfather was a steamboat captain. His father built a bus line.

Fred was more interested in flying, and he earned money weekends as a charter pilot while he worked his way through Yale in the 1960s.

• He often flew spare parts for computer companies who were unwilling to wait for ground delivery to get critical components to customers.

• He joined the Marine Corps, and while serving in Viet Nam as a ground officer, he accompanied pilots on more than 200 combat missions, all while noticing how efficient the military’s delivery system is.

• After leaving the military, he inherited $4 million from his father. He raised an additional $80 million from investors and decided to go into the business of providing business owners with the fastest delivery service on earth.

• He started by purchasing a controlling interest in an airline maintenance company, then turned to buying used jets. He opened his doors for business in 1973, guaranteeing overnight delivery between any two points in the 11city network he set up. He carried just seven packages on his first run, and soon closed down in order to reorganize.

• He more than doubled his network to 25 cities and re-launched the business a month later, this time carrying a total of 186 packages.

• The U.S. Post Office sued him to try to maintain their monopoly. He lost $27 million in his first two years and resorted to playing the blackjack tables in Vegas to keep afloat. But by the late 1970s Americans nationwide were relying on his company’s ability to deliver critical goods overnight. Today the company has 645 aircraft and 71,000 trucks carrying upwards of 5.5 million items daily. Name it. (Answer next page.)

www.facebook.com/bismarcktidbits presence of human compassion and love, but nothing is sugarcoated. This type of illness drama comes off as Oscar-bait, but Moore gives a performance that deserves recognition.

EDITOR’S NOTE: DVDs reviewed in this column will be available in stores the week of May 11, 2015.

PICKS OF THE WEEK Still Alice (PG-13) -- At the height of her career, Dr. Alice Howland -- an accomplished professor of communication -- stumbles over her words during a lecture. In time, Alice (Julianne Moore) loses more words and gets lost during her routine runs. While still physically healthy, she is diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Alice’s husband (Alec Baldwin) and three adult children (Hunter Parrish, Kate Bosworth and Kristen Stewart) must stand by as her memory and intellect fade.

The film manages to capture the drama and pain of the experience without giving in to melodramatic tear-jerking. There is a satisfying

Blackhat (R) -- In this recent internationaltechno-computer-thriller, we are asked to suspend disbelief as Chris Hemsworth (“Thor”) is called upon to save the world because he is The Greatest Hacker in the World. So Thor is a computer geek in this one, but a hunky, stoic computer geek who also is as tough as any Liam Neeson character. Hemsworth’s mission is to stop a bad-guy hacker (they’re called “blackhats”) who started his cyber-crime spree by blowing up a nuclear reactor.

Director Michael Mann sure can do atmospheric thrillers (like “Heat” and “Collateral”), but this one just can’t make it on style alone. Though it’s punctuated by some stunning action sequences, a lot of the run is just muddled plot points covered by scenes of people typing and pointing at indecipherable symbols on computer screens.

Mortdecai (R) -- Johnny Depp minces and ponces his way around the world as a mustachioed art dealer, the latest in Depp’s long line of whimsical weirdos who garner half-hearted favor from audiences. Charles Mortdecai (Depp) is an Englishman with upper-

Tell them you saw it in Tidbits®! crusty affectations, and a big problem with back taxes. To save his status, Mortdecai has to go on a madcap misadventure to track down a highvalue painting. To his credit, Depp commits to his shtick. Unfortunately, the wackiness isn’t so charming, and the jokes seem to get funnier the more they are repeated.

The Cobbler (PG-13) -- Max (Adam Sandler) is an apathetic cobbler who gets all literal when he walks in other people’s shoes. When he uses a magic machine to repair somebody’s shoes, Max can become that person (or a physical duplicate of that person) just by trying on their shoes. The experience teaches him to care about his community, but it also lets him act like an amoral jerk by committing crimes as other people. Sandler seems to be trying a little harder here, but the rest of the movie is too safe to be funny and too sugary to be dramatic.

• The U.S. Air Force wanted to know how sudden deceleration would affect pilots. They designed a series of experiments that consisted of volunteers being strapped into rocket-propelled sleds which were quickly accelerated before the brakes were abruptly applied. The volunteers wore a vest wired with sensors that measured the force.

• According to the legend, an engineer named Edward designed this harness, but Edward did not install the sixteen individual sensors. A technician did that.

• On the day of the first test, volunteer John Paul Stapp was strapped into his harness, belted into the seat, and sent for the ride of his life. The deceleration was so forceful that when Stapp staggered out of the seat, his nose was bleeding and his eyes were bloodshot.

• When Edward went to gather the data collected by the sensors, he discovered to his dismay that not a single bit of information had been collected, because the technician wired the sensors backwards and not one of them functioned. Stapp had risked his life for nothing.

• Edward muttered something about, “if there’s a way to do something wrong, he’ll find it.”

• At a press conference a few days later, Stapp paraphrased Edward’s comment, saying words to the effect that, “if there are two or more ways to do something, and if one of those results in catastrophe, then someone will do it that way.”

• Eventually this pessimistic saying was distilled, becoming a well-known expression that Trivia Test was named after Edward’s last name. What was Answers Ed’s last name, and what is this pithy pessimistic 1. A bale platitude? (Answer below.)
