• Coffee wasn’t in short supply when it was rationed. In fact, there was record coffee production in Latin American countries at the time. However, the growing demand for coffee from both military and civilian sources, and the demands placed on shipping, which was needed for other purposes, required rationing. Shortages were rarely the reason for rationing during the war. Rationing was generally employed either to guarantee fair distribution of resources and foodstuffs to all citizens or to give priority to military use for certain materials. About onethird of all food commonly consumed by civilians was rationed at one time or another during WWII, including butter, sugar, milk, and gasoline.

• In Arabic, the phrase ‘qahhwat al-bun’ meant ‘wine of the bean.’ That was shortened to ‘qahwa’ which the Turks pronounced ‘kahve’ which was borrowed by the Dutch as ‘koffie’ which was turned into the English ‘coffee.’ cont'd next page!

• Caffeine is found naturally not only in coffee and tea but also in about 100 other plants. Caffeine acts as a natural insecticide. It can kill insects, stunt their growth, impair their coordination, or ruin their reproduction capabilities. • A typical cup of drip-brewed coffee contains about 115 mg of caffeine. The same size cup of espresso delivers about 250 mg of caffeine. That’s why espresso is served in such tiny cups. Percolated coffee has slightly less caffeine than drip coffee. Decaffeinated coffee does not mean the coffee is caffeine-free. Brewed decaf has about 5 mg of caffeine. A typical cup of truck stop coffee will usually contain more caffeine than an expensive cup of designer coffee. That’s because the less expensive robusta beans from which inexpensive coffee is made are higher in caffeine than the more expensive arabica beans used in specialty coffee. • Methylene chloride is the chemical used to remove caffeine from coffee beans. The chemical is poisonous when inhaled, but because it evaporates at 120°f, it dissipates when the beans are roasted at 400°f. Any remnants still in the beans are rendered harmless by brewing the coffee at a temperature around 200°f. • Coffee increases alertness and enhances performance on certain tasks. Tests on drivers and typists prove that two cups of coffee can help. However, research shows it helps most if the drinker is bored or fatigued. It only boosts intellectual speed and not physical power. Furthermore, coffee seems to help extroverts more than it helps introverts. Studies show that people respond more to the caffeine they Diner: “This coffee tastes like mud!” think they’ve consumed more than they Waiter: “It should— it was ground this morning!” respond to the amount of caffeine that they’ve actually consumed. (cont'd) Stealing someone's coffee is called 'mugging'.

COFFEE: QUIZ

• Ludwig Roselius had a father who was a professional coffee taster in Germany in the 1800s. His father died young. Ludwig thought his father’s death was due to ingesting too much caffeine. At the time, the process of decaffeinating coffee made it lose most of its flavor. • Ludwig opened a coffee business of his own, and in 1903 a ship filled with coffee beans destined for his store flooded and the entire load was soaked with seawater. Ludwig gave this ruined coffee to his researchers, asking them to experiment with decaffeination. Surprisingly, they found that the soaked beans were easy to decaffeinate. The key was to raise the moisture content of the beans before subjecting them to the chemical process. • Ludwig patented the process and moved to America in 1914, setting up a coffee trading company called Kaffe-HAG, with HAG being an acronym for the German words meaning Coffee Trading Company. When World War I began, his business was seized under the U.S. Alien Property Custodian Act and handed over to Americans. Ludwig lost everything, including the trademarked name of his coffee. • He set up a new business, marketing his coffee in Europe until the war ended. He needed a new name for his coffee so he chose a contraction of the French words ‘sans caffeine’ meaning ‘without caffeine.’ • He returned to America in 1923, and nine years later General Foods bought him out. Meanwhile, the company that he lost during the war went out of business. • The modern decaffeination process is still based on his accidental discovery, and his company was purchased by Kraft foods. What is it called? Answer: Roselius’ decaffeinated coffee is Sanka.

MOBY DICK’S BLEND

• In Seattle in 1971, three friends got together and opened a specialty shop selling coffee beans and coffee-making equipment. One of the partners was a writer who loved the book “Moby Dick.” He wanted to name the business after the ship in that book, the “Pequod,” but another partner objected, saying nobody would want to drink a cup of PEE-quod. Instead, they named the company after Captain Ahab’s first mate. • In 1982 they hired Howard Schultz to be their director of marketing. Howard took a trip to Milan, Italy, where he saw Italians sipping espresso. He loved coffee himself, and he immediately understood the attraction of espresso. When he returned home, he suggested to his bosses that instead of selling just coffee beans and equipment to their customers, they should also sell coffee drinks, including espresso. • His bosses dismissed the idea, preferring to keep the focus of the company on the sale of coffee beans. They felt coffee was meant to be prepared in the home and not in a shop. • Howard subsequently left them and started up his own coffee shop, selling coffee drinks. In 1987 his former bosses sold him their coffee bean company. By now Howard had mastered the coffee shop business and he began a period of phenomenally speedy expansion until it became the largest coffeehouse chain in the world, with some 16,000 stores in 49 countries around the world. It’s still named after Captain Ahab’s first mate in the book “Moby Dick.” What’s it called? Answer: The coffee chain is called Starbucks

FINAL FACT

• Black coffee contains no calories.

Tools 4 life

ALBEE Digital

By DR. Jim coyle Holiday Survival Tool Kit

For most people the holidays are a joyful time of family, friends, food, and fun. We are barraged with suggestive marketing to buy, buy, and buy more. At a time when stores are competing for our money, there are many who are sad, lonely, and depressed. The passing of a loved one, the constant rewind of broken relationships, the loss of income, and the passing of a pet are just a few holes that are magnified during the holidays. Here are some survival tools to help make this a Holy Christmas season: • Faith gives us the ability to rise above circumstances so we can begin to see a much higher purpose: Picture a hot air balloon being filled with the fire of faith as it rises above ground zero • Adopt and commit to traditions that benefit others: A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed. Proverbs 11:25 • Welcome, accept, and invite a divine spiritual presence of Jesus and others: Pull up an empty chair next to your bed and dining table • Hold onto the things that bring you comfort: Wrap yourself in the warmth of the things that bring comfort, hope, and encouragement

Accentuate the Positive, Eliminate the Negative Seniors sometimes buy into the stereotypes that we’re over the hill, getting weak and past our prime. Not only that, but we often develop negative attitudes about others in our group simply because of their age. There is at least one way to counter that negativity. Researchers at UC Berkeley and Yale found a way to use positive subliminal messages to increase activity levels in seniors and increase physical health -- and it only took a few weeks. The results were better than six months of exercise. One hundred seniors with an average age of 80 were divided into four groups for multiple 15-minute sessions. Some 1.
