ANTARCTICA
by Janet Spencer On November 18, 1820, an American seal hunter named Nathaniel Brown Palmer became the first American to lay eyes upon mainland Antarctica. He is considered to be one of three primary candidates to have discovered the frozen continent. Palmer proclaimed the frozen terrain before him to be Palmer Land, and the Palmer Archipelago still carries his name. Come along with Tidbits as we visit Antarctica!

ANTARCTIC FACTS
• The lowest reliably measured temperature of a continuously occupied station on Earth was −128.6°F on July 21, 1983 at Vostok Station. • In summer, the population of Antarctica averages about 5,000. In winter, it drops to 1,000. About 40,000 tourists visit each year. There are no permanent residents. • Antarctica is the only continent without a time zone. The scientists who reside there go by either the time of their home land or the supply line that brings them supplies. • Antarctica is the world’s largest desert. In Antarctica’s Dry Valleys, it hasn’t rained for more than 2 million years. The ground and climate so closely resemble the surface of Mars that NASA did testing there for the Viking mission.

NORTH & SOUTH: POLES APART • Early astronomers plotted the circle of the sun passing in orbit around the earth. (This was in the days when they thought the earth was the center of the universe.) The circle passed through the constellation of the Great Bear, whose name was Arktos. That is how the northernmost regions of the Earth near that circle became known as the Arctic. The prefix ‘ant-’ means opposite, so the Antarctic is the southernmost region of the planet. • The Antarctic has about eight times as much ice as the Arctic because the Antarctic is a continent and the Arctic is an ocean covered with ice. Land does not hold heat nearly as well as water does, so the ocean moderates the climate in the Arctic. The Arctic is not always cold: summer temperatures above 70°f are fairly common. At Fort Yukon near the Arctic Circle in Alaska, it has even reached 100°f. in the shade. However, the average year-round temperature in the Antarctic is -18°f. Summertime highs seldom go above freezing. • Both the Arctic and Antarctic are classified as deserts because annual precipitation totals less than 4 inches a year— but the snow that falls stays. In the Arctic, the ice eventually drifts and melts, but in the Antarctic it accumulates year after year. The deepest layers of ice in the Antarctic are some 3 million years old. In the Antarctic, the ice averages more than a mile thick and is over 14,000 feet deep at its thickest. The ice in the Arctic Ocean averages only 8 feet thick. Only 5% of the Antarctic continent is icefree. The weight of the ice on the Antarctic continent is so great thatlooking it hasinpressed How do women stay young the Antarctic? much of the land below sea level.

• On one trip to Antarctica, explorer Admiral Byrd decided to see how prolonged isolation would affect the human psyche. He took up residence at the beginning of the dark Antarctic winter in a 9-by-13 foot cabin on the Ross Ice Shelf, 125 miles away from the rest of his crew at their base. He kept busy with weather observations, books, records, and housekeeping. Radio contact with his crew was made three times a week. His sojourn began March 28, 1934 and by July, depression combined with carbon monoxide poisoning from a faulty stove caused his physical and psychological condition to deteriorate. Rescuers arrived on August 10, and found him so weakened that it was two months before they judged him strong enough to make the return trip to the base station. Admiral Bryd made five trips to the Antarctic and he always took his little dog named Igloo.

Check out a review for our Marion location: Zio Johno’s is a locals favorite affordable Italian dining experience (as far as Cedar Rapids, Iowa gets). The Tuesday special at the Marion location means that all pizzas are 50% off. The dining room is very clean, with a fancy appeal. Outdoor seating is available as well. This is a perfect place for the family, as they offer high chairs for the little ones. Since the pizzas were cheap, and small we decided to “live it up” in Marion, Iowa for this attempt. You will see what we mean below... By the way, Their website has the menu on it. For more of this review go to: www.iowanpizzachronicles.blogspot.com

PENGUINS • Penguins have never been seen at the North Pole. However, they do live near the Equator. Penguins live in many places such as on the ice off the Antarctic continent, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, and even as for north as the Galapagos Island which is near the Equator. All of these areas are touched by cold ocean currents, which the birds love. They refuse to cross warm currents. • Penguins raise their families a little differently than most animals— the male is the one who incubates the egg while the female is totally out of the picture. The female lays the egg on the ice, then immediately takes to the ocean and is not seen again for the next two months or so while she feeds in warmer waters. The male holds the egg on the top of his feet and under a special pouch of blubber. He neither eats nor moves much as he incubates the egg through the two months of the worst winter weather. When the chick hatches, he feeds it a milk-like substance produced in his crop, and the chick eats from his throat. Only then does the female return, and the male goes to sea to replenish his blubber while she takes over. When he returns, they share the business of feeding Junior. If both parents are out fishing, the chick will be left in the care of another adult babysitter. Rookeries can contain more than a million birds. Since each pair lay only one egg per year, populations have a hard time recovering from disaster. • Penguins return to the very same nest year after year, building it up with new stones in a ring. When they return to their nesting grounds each year, the old nest is buried under several feet of snow. Still, the penguins know exactly where it is located and will place additional stones on top of the ice. When the snow melts, the new stones will be laying exactly on top of the old ones. • In Welsh, “pen” means head, and “gwyn” means white, giving us the word penguin. • They are the only bird that can swim but can’t fly. They can swim up to 30 mph. A penguin with a six-inch stride can run as fast as an average man. • Although they spend their lives eating live fish, when presented with a dead fish on the ground, they do not recognize it as food. • Penguins are monogamous and mate for life. The only way to tell male and female apart is by autopsy, though during mating season females might have muddy footprints on her back left by males during mating. • When the penguins find a mate, they bond with each other by touching necks and slapping each other on the back with their flippers. They also “sing” to each other so they learn to recognize each other’s voices. • The emperor penguin is the largest species at 4 ft. tall and nearly 100 lbs. They are thought to be the only species of bird that never sets foot on land. They can stay underwater for around 20 minutes at a time. • The smallest is the fairy penguin at 10 inches tall and weighing 2.5 lbs. • Penguins can drink sea water, excreting the salt through grooves on their bill. They spend around half their time in water and the other half on land. They are warm blooded, with a body temperature of about 100°F. • Their black and white plumage serves as camouflage while swimming. The black plumage on their back is hard to see from above, while the white plumage on their front looks like the sun reflecting off the surface of the water when seen from below. • 13 out of the 17 species of penguin are threatened or endangered.

What is the Best ChoiCe
Not every choice is black and white. We have many options to choose from. Will saying yes to something mean I am saying no to something that’s more important? Will saying no to something mean I am missing out on something more important? Sometimes there is not a wrong choice. We just need to make the best one. Our choices are influenced by many different things such as fear, anger, loneliness, guilt. Brenda Jank wrote “Every guilt driven yes means a no to something important. Every day holds 24 hours and as gifted as we are at multitasking, there are concrete limits to what we can get done in any given day. We routinely shortchange the top priorities of our lives. We’re irritable and impatient with those we love. We forfeit our need for sleep. We pass through many days oblivious to the presence of God.” Here are some things to think about before you make your choice. Who is benefitting the most? Is it more about me verses someone else? What is motivating the decision? Am I being led by the Spirit? There are so many factors to weigh in your decision. Jesus said “Let your yes be yes and your no be no.” Matthew 5:37 In more encouraging words from scripture; “Whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Colossians 3:17. Make the best choice

Extra Day in Hospital Could Save Your Life
Would you willingly stay in the hospital one more day to reduce your chances of being readmitted? A study by Columbus Business School shows that even one day longer in the hospital can reduce readmissions and costs -- and save lives -- when compared to outpatient care. The study focused on pneumonia, heart failure and myocardial infarctions in 6 million patients over the age of 65. Here are the stats for one extra day in the hospital: ● Mortality risk reduced by 7 percent for those who have had a heart attack; 22 percent for those who have been treated for pneumonia. ● Readmissions rate decreased by 7 percent for those withrank severe heart 1.
