TIDBITS® PRESENTS SOME
NUTTY FACTS by Kathy Wolfe
October 22 is National Nut Day – time to see how much you know about one of our favorite snacks. • A nut is simply defined as a “dry fruit with one seed in which the seed case wall becomes very hard at maturity.” It’s plain to see that a peanut doesn’t fit this description. That’s because peanuts are really legumes – a pod with multiple seeds – and are grown underground unlike nuts. About 3.75 million pounds (1,700,971 kg) of peanuts are eaten every day across America. The peanut has its origins in South America, specifically Brazil and Peru, and found its way to North America with early explorers. Today, peanuts are grown primarily in China, West Africa, and the United States. Georgia, North Carolina, Alabama, Texas, Virginia, and Oklahoma are America’s key producers of peanuts.

• Likewise, walnuts are not really nuts, but rather are drupes from the same genus as apricots, cherries, nectarines, peaches, and plums. The walnut tree is 15 years old before it reaches its full production, but then produces for 45 years.

NUTTY FACTS (continued):
• With origins in ancient Persia, the walnut is the oldest tree food known to man. Walnut meats closely resemble a little human brain, with left and right hemispheres, and because of this, people in medieval times believed that walnuts could cure headaches. In actuality, walnuts contain substances that help develop neuron transmitters within the brain, boosting its ability to send signals and messages. Studies also indicate they help ward off dementia by breaking down the plaques associated with Alzheimer’s Disease. Walnuts are the only nut that contain heart-healthy Omega-3 fatty acids, and can help reduce inflammation in the arteries.

• Native to Brazil and the West Indies, cashews are also drupes and are a member of the poison ivy family. The lining of the cashew’s seed contains a powerful oil called anacardic acid that can irritate and burn the skin. Once the cashew is roasted, the oil disintegrates and the shell is easy to remove. Research indicates that cashews may be beneficial in warding off or managing diabetes by stimulating blood sugar absorption by muscle cells.

• Sometimes called the “king of nuts,” the Brazil nut is actually another drupe. The Brazil nut tree produces large pods weighing about 4 lbs. (1.8 kg) that are filled with 12 to 20 seeds, sectioned like a grapefruit. The pods fall to the ground when ripe, split apart, and release the seeds. They are grown mostly in the Amazonian rain forest of northern Bolivia, not in Brazil as the name implies. The trees have a height of 150 feet (45.7 m), with a trunk diameter of nearly 8 feet (2.4 m). • Brazil nuts are 65% oil with 19 grams of fat in a one-ounce serving. You would need to walk nine minutes to burn off the calories in one Brazil nut. The good news is they are high in fiber, protein, and magnesium.

NUGGET OF KNOWLEDGE
• A pecan tree can live to be over 200 years old. The only major tree nut that is native to North America, the name “pecan” has its origins in the Algonquin Native American language, describing “all nuts requiring a stone to crack.” Cultivation of pecan orchards began in the 1700s and George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were among those who planted pecan trees. A tree, which only produces its fruit every two years, has a trunk that can grow to a diameter of more than 3 feet (.9 m). See the next page for more!
Early nutcrackers were nothing more than a rock used to smash open the shell. Geoffrey Chaucer mentioned the word nutcracker in his 13th-century writings when silver nutcrackers came into use. In the early days, they were called nucifrangibulums. They became available in mail-order Catalogues in the late 1800s.

• Many of the more than 1,000 varieties of pecans are named for Native American Indian tribes, including the Cheyenne, Mohawk, Sioux, Choctaw, and Shawnee. Some pecan processing facilities shell 150,000 lbs. (68,039 kg) of pecans every day, enough to make 300,000 pecan pies. The average pecan pie contains about 78 pecans. • About 80% of the world’s pecan supply is produced in the United States. There are more than 600,000 pecan trees in Albany, Georgia, making it the nation’s pecan capital. Every year, the community is home to the National Pecan Festival, hosting a race, parade, cooking contest, and crowning of the National Pecan Queen.

• Pecans and macadamia nuts have the highest amount of fat, the lowest amount of protein, and the most calories of any nuts. However, a pecan contains more than 19 vitamins and minerals, and is rich in Vitamins A and E, calcium, magnesium, potassium, B vitamins, and zinc. • The macadamia nut tells the farmer when it’s ready for harvest by falling to the ground. With origins in Australia, this nut was not discovered until around 1857 and not cultivated until the 1930s. It was named in honor of an Australian chemist, medical teacher, and politician John Macadam. The seeds were introduced to Hawaii in 1882 as a windbreak for sugar cane fields. Dog owners should be aware that macadamias are toxic to dogs, and can produce weakness, hind leg paralysis, muscle tremors, and severe abdominal pain.

• The almond has its origins in the Mediterranean countries. It’s considered a very healthy nut (although it’s really a drupe!), with more calcium than any other nut. It also contains an antioxidant that helps fight inflammation and may keep cancer and cognitive decline at bay. Almonds are the lowest-calorie nuts – 23 nuts contain 160 calories. There are 110,000 acres of almond trees in California, the almond capital of America. • Filberts are also known as hazelnuts or cobnuts, and are the main ingredient in the confection praline. Filberts are used to make Nutella, a sweet hazelnut chocolate spread, and Frangelico, an Italian liqueur. As with many other nuts, filberts are rich in thiamine and B vitamins. Most of the world’s supply is grown in Turkey (75%), but Iran, Spain, the U.S. states of Oregon and Washington, and British Columbia, Canada, also contribute to the production. • The black walnut tree, a member of the hickory family, secretes a poisonous substance called juglone into the soil. Apples, tomatoes, and white birch should not be planted near a black walnut tree, as juglone deprives the plants of energy for their metabolic activity.

NOTEWORTHY INVENTORS:
DONALD FEATHERSTONE Every time you drive past a neighbor’s front yard decorated with plastic pink flamingos, remember the name of this man, Donald Featherstone, their inventor. • Back in 1957, Massachusetts native Donald Featherstone was a new graduate of the Worcester Art Museum’s art school, after nine years of formal art training. Described as “an extremely talented artist,” Donald said he “decided to make a living rather than starve to death,” and took a job designing 3D plastic animals for Union Products, Inc. • One of Featherstone’s first projects at Union Products was to sculpt a duck. He purchased a live duck, named it Charlie, and kept it in his sink while he studied the duck for sculpture. Charlie was later released in Fitchburg, Massachusetts’ Coggshall Park.

• Late in 1957, Union tasked Featherstone with carving a flamingo to be molded into plastic. Without a live flamingo to use as a model, he studied photographs of the bird from National Geographic. A pair of flamingos was the result, one standing erect, the other bending over, seeming to munch on grass. Their legs were metal rods that were planted in the ground. Featherstone dubbed his creation Phoenicopterus ruber plasticus. • In 1958, when the color pink was trendy, the plastic birds appeared in the Sears catalog with a retail price of $2.76 a pair. Instructions were included: “Place in garden, lawn, to beautify landscape.” However, not everyone viewed them as a lovely addition to the neighborhood. Some residential developments prohibited the ornaments, declaring that they epitomized bad taste. Continued on the next page!

QUOTE
“I said to the almond tree, ‘Friend, speak to me of God,’ and the almond tree blossomed.” – Nikos Kazantzakis
by Samantha Weaver • It was 20th-century Swiss playwright and novelist Max Frisch who defined technology as “the knack of so arranging the world that we need not experience it.” • In the 1830s you could give someone a blizzard. Back then, of course, the word wasn’t referring to a snowstorm; rather, that phrase meant to give someone a piece of one’s mind. • Men certainly aren’t lacking in the selfconfidence department. A survey found that 76 percent of men believe they are “somewhat” or “very attractive.” • Thanks to arrangements made by his very powerful family, Theophylactus of Tusculum became Pope Benedict IX in 1032, at the age of 20. It seems he wasn’t suited to religious life, and he was accused of “many vile adulteries and murders.” The Catholic Encyclopedia calls him “a disgrace to the Chair of Peter.” After 12 years he was forced out of Rome, but he returned the following year, 1045, and ousted Pope Sylvester III. Later that same year, a pious priest named John Gratian offered Benedict a large sum of money to vacate the post, which he did, allowing Gratian to become Pope Gregory VI. Unsurprisingly, Benedict soon changed his mind, and with Sylvester III still claiming the papal seat, there were now three popes vying for supremacy. Finally, at the end of 1046, the Council of Sutri declared Benedict and Sylvester deposed, Gregory was encouraged to resign, and a German bishop was proclaimed Pope Clement II. • Farmers in California are responsible for 95 percent of broccoli production in the United States. Now we know whom to blame. *** Thought for the Day: “One dog barks at something, the rest bark at him.” -- Chinese proverb (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

• In 1987, Featherstone inscribed his signature in the original molds in order for buyers to distinguish between his creation and unauthorized imitations. • In 1996, Featherstone became the president of Union Products. That year he was also awarded the Ig Nobel Prize for Art, a parody of the Nobel Prizes, given each year for unusual achievements. The goal of the prize is to “honor achievements that first make people laugh, and then make them think.” Featherstone remained at the helm of the company until his retirement in 2000. During his 43-year tenure, he had designed over 600 items for Union. In addition, he had coauthored a book The Original Pink Flamingos: Splendor on the Grass. • In 2006, after producing an estimated 20 million plastic flamingos, Union Products closed its doors and the bird became an endangered species. Featherstone set out to find a buyer for the molds. In 2007, a New York manufacturer purchased the copyright and molds, and once again the ornaments were in production.
• On Oct. 25, 1853, Paiute Indians attack U.S. Army Capt. John W. Gunnison and his party of 37 soldiers and railroad surveyors in Utah. Gunnison and seven other men were killed, but the survey party continued its work to find a route for a proposed transcontinental railroad. • On Oct. 24, 1901, seeking fame, 63-yearold schoolteacher Annie Edson Taylor becomes the first person to plunge over Niagara Falls in a barrel. After a brief flurry of photo-ops and speaking engagements, Taylor’s fame cooled, and she was unable to make the fortune she had sought. • On Oct. 23, 1921, in France, an American officer selects the casket of an unidentified soldier to be honored among the 77,000 U.S. servicemen killed in World War I. The “Unknown Soldier” was buried in Arlington National Cemetery. • On Oct. 22, 1965, President Lyndon Johnson signs the Highway Beautification Act, which attempts to limit billboards and other forms of outdoor advertising along America’s interstates. • On Oct. 20, 1973, Solicitor General Robert Bork dismisses Watergate special prosecutor Archibald Cox, whose investigation of the Watergate break-in revealed that the burglary was one of many possible abuses of power by the Nixon White House. Two days later, the House Judiciary Committee began to consider the possible impeachment of President Richard Nixon. • On Oct. 21, 1988, “Mystic Pizza,” a romantic comedy starring unknown actress Julia Roberts, opens in theaters. Roberts would skyrocket to international fame when she appeared in the 1990 blockbuster “Pretty Woman.” • On Oct. 19, 1991, a fire starts in the hills of Oakland, California, and within an hour, 800 buildings are ablaze. The firestorm would kill 25 people and destroy thousands of homes. Even though fires had ravaged the same area in 1970 and 1980, people continued to build homes there. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
• Donald and his wife Nancy, whom he married in 1976 when he was 40 years old, wore matching outfits for more than 35 years. Nancy sewed all of the ensembles, many of them from flamingo-patterned fabric. The couple kept 57 plastic flamingos on their front lawn. Her Christmas gift to Don one year was a 6-foot-tall (1.83-m) bronze flamingo. Although the plastic flamingo was Don’s most popular creation, Nancy claims she has always been partial to the ostrich he designed. • Tribute was paid to Don by naming the pink flamingo character Featherstone in the 2011 Disney film “Gnomeo & Juliet.” Don passed away in June of 2015 at age 79.

ORIGAMI World Origami Days are held October 24 through November 11. Let’s see how much you know about this ancient art. • The word “origami” has its origins in the Japanese language, with “ori” meaning “folding” and “gami” translating “paper.” At one time, it was known as “orikata,” or “folded shape.” The goal of origami is to transform a simple sheet of paper into a delicate sculpture through folding techniques, without the use of glue or cuts. Paper folding that utilizes cuts is referred to as “kirigami.” • Many claim that paper was invented in China around 105 A.D., although some archaeological evidence indicates an earlier date. Early Chinese paper folding was primarily “yuanbao,” paper folded to look like gold nuggets. The pieces were used at funerals as a burnt offering to the dead. China also introduced Golden Venture Folding, in which small pieces of paper are folded into triangular units which are assembled into larger models. • Around the sixth century, paper was introduced into Korea and Japan. Paper was expensive and not readily available to the general public, and consequently, became an art form limited to religious rituals and ceremonies. Early Japanese purification rituals employed the use of zig-zag-shaped paper known as “Shide.” These triangles were attached to straw ropes, to altars, or to wooden staffs that were used as purification wands. • The first documented book published about paper folding was Tsutsumi-no Ki, published in 1764, containing instructions on how to fold 13 different ceremonial folds. In 1797, recreational paper folding became popular and the book Folding of 1000 Cranes was introduced, with lessons on folding interconnecting cranes. Continued on the next page!

Jurassic World (PG-13) -- Boldly defying the lessons of the past, somebody decides to build a theme park with dinosaurs surrounding poorly protected humans. Chris Pratt stars as Owen Grady, a velociraptor trainer who has a shaky alliance with a few dino-buddies. He’s opposite Bryce Dallas Howard, who plays an uptight park director who doesn’t take off her heels even when being chased by dinosaurs. The greedy genetic-tinkerers who run the park have crafted the biggest dino-attraction yet: the Indominus, a mutant hybrid monster made pointlessly deadly and intelligent. The visual effects and overall scope of the action sequences go beyond what was done in the original, but even with upgraded tech and bigger teeth, this Jurassic thriller isn’t as thrilling. Characters are so one-sided that even Pratt’s immutable charm gets a little muted.
Advertise today in Tidbits® of Bismarck! Testament of Youth (PG-13) -- Adapted from the bestselling memoir, this drama tells the story of a young woman finding herself and her whole world changed through World War I. Vera Brittain (Alicia Vikander) was an intellectual and rebellious student at Oxford, part of a growing feminist movement, and she’d fallen for her brother’s friend Roland (Kit Harrington from “Game of Thrones”). When the fighting breaks out, Vera becomes a nurse, while many of her friends and loved ones become memories. The film is visually stunning, especially in the jarring contrast between the English countryside and the bleary chaos of trench warfare. Vera is a fine and fascinating character, and her transformation is handled expertly by Vikander’s performance.

ORIGAMI (continued):
• Origami is used at traditional Shinto weddings to fashion paper butterflies to decorate bottles of Japanese sake. The “Mecho” butterfly signifies the female, while the “Ocho” represents the male. A “Tsuki” is a piece of origami that accompanies a valuable gift and can serve as its certificate of authenticity. “Noshi” are attached to gifts, much like we use greeting cards, used as a token of good fortune for congratulatory occasions, such as graduations or promotions. “Noshi” would never be given at funerals or religious ceremonies. The “Tsutsumi” is a formal gift wrapping whose folds symbolize sincerity and purity.
