Nutritional Class - October 28 @ 7pm 362 Coffeen Ave. Sheridan Ed’s Natural Healthcare Center (307) 672-7705 LIGHT BULBS (cont’d) • Today’s light bulbs use a filament of tungsten because it’s a strong metal that can withstand high temperatures without melting. It is heated to around 4,500 degrees F. (2,482 C). This high temperature makes the wire glow with heat. Tungsten comes from the Swedish language, with “tung” meaning heavy and “sten” meaning stone. • Three-way light bulbs have two different filaments: one 50-watt filament and one 100-watt filament. They can be turned on individually or together to produce 150 watts. • If there were any air inside the bulb, the filament would burn up. Most bulbs contain nitrogen and argon, which lengthen the life of the filament and prevent electricity from jumping around inside the bulb. • Different kinds of modern day bulbs such as black light and ozone lamps are used for such things as detecting ringworm, revealing art forgeries, finding minerals and water underground, killing odors, and inducing chickens to lay more eggs. STREETLIGHT FACTS • Vapor lamps use a gas rather than a wire to produce light. Instead of heating up a wire, the gas is energized, giving off light. Mercury vapor gives off a blue light, and sodium vapor Debbie’s Famous Cupcakes & Cookies gives off a yellow light. Vapor lamps produce more light than incandescent bulbs and last up to 100 times longer. • Fluorescent lights are a type of vapor lamp that use a combination of mercury and argon vapor. When electrical current passes through the vapor, it gives off ultraviolet light. The inside of the bulb is coated with phosphor, which lights up when struck by the ultraviolet light. Fluorescent lights are popular because they use 20% of the energy of incandescent bulbs, and produce 20% of the heat. • Vapor lamps have some disadvantages. Sodium vapor lamps when used indoors can cause a variety of ills ranging from eye strain to nausea due to the absence of blue light. And fluorescent light has been implicated in some studies in which mice developed cancer more frequently when living under fluorescent light than those living under incandescent light. • In a compact fluorescent bulb, electricity passes through a gas-filled tube and produces ultraviolet light which is absorbed by a phosphor coating on the inside of the tube which produces the visible light. Phosphor emits light in a narrow wavelength. If a CFL used only one type of phosphor, it would give off a single color. The solution is to use a variety of slightly different phosphors to produce a wide spectrum of light. This can be customized for different purposes, giving us the choice of “daylight”, “soft white”, “warm white” and other colors. • A 100-watt incandescent light bulb converts only 2.6% of its energy into visible light. The rest is converted to heat, which is why you’ll burn yourself if you touch a light bulb that is turned on. Compact fluorescent bulbs are more efficient: they convert 7.7% of their energy into light, and the rest into heat. That may not seem like a lot, but it’s almost three times as energy efficient as the incandescent. • The most efficient commercial light bulbs are low pressure sodium lamps which convert 27% of their energy to light, but because they produce a harsh yellow color, they are not commonly used inside the home. • LEDs use 80% less energy than incandescents and last far longer because they have no Sponsored by – filaments. An LED bulb in a newborn’s room would probably not have to be replaced until that child goes off to college. They generate no heat and contain no hazardous materials.

UP IN LIGHTS • In 1911 the first neon sign was patented. Neon is a colorless, odorless gas found in our atmosphere at a ratio of 1 part neon to 55,000 parts air. When concentrated in a glass tube, it conducts electricity and produces a red glow. The color can be changed by altering pressure or adding other gasses. • If you would like to make your own neon tubes, here’s the recipe: Simply liquefy a large quantity of air, and allow it to boil. Collect the first gasses that escape when it reaches boiling point. That will be a mixture of helium, neon, and nitrogen. Remove the nitrogen through chemical absorption, then chill the remaining mixture to -310 f. (-190 C) and pass it over charcoal, which will absorb the helium. Now heat the charcoal to recover the neon. LAVA LAMPS • What is a lava lamp made of? The moving blob is specially compounded wax, floating in a tube of mineral oil. When heated by the 40-watt light bulb below, it expands and becomes less dense than the liquid it’s suspended in and starts to rise. At the top of the globe, the wax cools and begins to sink again. HANDY TIP • If you don’t want bugs buzzing around your porch lights, use yellow light bulbs. Yellow is invisible to many insects so they won’t be attracted to the light. A WORLD RECORD • The world’s oldest functioning light bulb is located at the fire department in Livermore, CA. It was installed in 1901. Of Sheridan & Johnson Counties It’s been lit ever since, and has Published weekly by been turned off only a handful of times, mostly accidentally, or Kysar Publishing. when it was transferred to differCall (307) 655-5095 ent locations. It’s listed in “Guinness Book of World Records” bkysar@sjtidbits.com and “Ripley’s Believe It Or Not.”

THOMAS EDISON • Thomas Edison had three months of schooling, which ended when he heard the teacher telling the inspector that he was addled. When he told his mom, it made her so mad that she told the teacher off and took him out of school. In spite of the lack of education, Edison patented over 1,000 inventions in his lifetime, averaging one new patent every two weeks during his adult life. In one four-year period, he averaged one patent every 5 days. • Edison arrived penniless in New York City at the age of 22. He persuaded a friend to let him sleep in the office of the Gold Indicator Co., a stockticker firm. When the stock ticker broke down, Edison repaired it after everyone else failed. He improved the design, and when the president of the company asked him how much he wanted for the patents, he couldn’t decide whether to ask for $5,000 or $3,000, so he said, “How much are you offering?” and the president said, “How would $40,000 strike you?” whereupon Edison replied, “Yes, I think that will be fair.” He used the money to open his a workshop and begin his inventing career. • The first invention he ever tried to sell was an electric vote-recording machine. He tried to sell it to Congress, but was refused. When a congressional vote was taken orally, it took 45 minutes, which gave congressmen plenty of time to trade votes. A faster method of voting would cut down on the vote trading. • In 1878 Thomas Edison was awarded a patent for the phonograph. He used a small metal cylinder covered with tin foil. He originally envisioned it as a business machine for dictation. This infuriated stenographers because they feared being put out of work. At first there was no way of duplicating the cylinders and performers had to repeat their renditions over and over in front of as many phonograph machines as could fit in the room. • Thomas Edison was almost totally deaf when he invented the phonograph. • He developed a device to electrocute cockroaches while he was living in Memphis, TN in 1866. • When Edison was only 31, his reputation was already so great that when he announced he was attempting to invent an electric light bulb, the value of stock in gas companies plummeted.

Are Dogs Growing More Anxious? DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My small mixed-breed dog “Tara” has terrible anxiety, especially when I leave the house or during thunderstorms. I have to either put a cone on her or socks on her paws so she doesn’t chew them bloody during these episodes. I hear from other friends that their dogs have anxiety issues as well. Is this problem on the rise? -- Sherri L, Kansas City, Mo. DEAR SHERRI: Evidence isn’t clear that anxiety in dogs is rising, but there is a rise in the understanding and diagnosis of anxiety in pets by veterinarians. This has led to an increase in diagnosis and treatment for pet anxiety. While that is good for pets, there is no “magic bullet” to quickly cure a dog of an anxiety disorder. Tara’s vet can diagnose the problem, and can help you determine different ways to treat her. Medication can be a big help in easing anxiety symptoms, but you also want to look for causes of Tara’s anxiety, and trigger points that set off her paw-chewing. Thunderstorms are one trigger; your leaving the house is another. There are a number of different techniques, both training or interaction, to turn off those triggers. While there’s not room in this column to list them, do some quick research and look for dog training manuals that stress positive reinforcement. Ask the vet and your friends about local dog trainers or specialists who treat pet anxiety issues. In evaluating such professionals, ask what therapies they use or are open to, and make sure they emphasize your role in working with Tara (owners have to put in the time with their dogs). Be circumspect about pet therapists who insist they have a single, one-size-fits-all solution for anxiety. Send your questions or tips to ask@pawscorner.com. (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

A WRITE-IN CANDIDATE FOR
HOUSE DISTRICT 30 THANK YOU!
THOMAS EDISON (cont’d) • At the San Francisco World Fair in 1915, an official “Edison Day” was declared. The first transcontinental telephone line had been strung between New Jersey and California just in time for the fair. In front of a crowd, Edison phoned his home in New Jersey— one of the first ever long-distance calls. • He felt that memory was composed of electron particles that spread through space, never dying or changing, but leaving the head of a dying human being in search of another host. Psychics could pick up and hear these messages, and Edison was sure a machine could do the same. He devoted several years of his life to building such a contraption. For years, he also worked on a valve-operated receiving set whose purpose was to deliver messages from the spirit world. He died before either invention was ever completed. • Henry Ford had the greatest affection for Thomas Edison. They worked together and became good friends. Ford believed in reincarnation, and perhaps believed that one’s soul exited the body with the last breath exhaled on earth. He asked Edison’s son to hold a test tube next to Edison’s mouth when he breathed his last in 1931. He did so, and the test tube was discovered in Ford’s personal things after his death in 1950. The test tube is now on display at the Ford museum.
