TIDBITS® LOOKS AT

SKIN AND BONES

by Kathy Wolfe “Why, you’re just skin and bones!” you may have heard it said. While the human body is lots more than skin and bones, these two things account for a very large part. Follow along as Tidbits explores what holds us together. • “I’ve got you under my skin,” goes the old song. The skin is the largest of all the organs in the body, and makes up about 15% of the body’s weight. On the average adult body, it weighs about 6 lbs. with an area of about 20 square feet. The average individual has about 300 million skin cells. There are about 11 miles of blood vessels in the body’s skin. • One square inch contains about 19 million cells, 90 oil glands, 65 hairs, and 625 sweat glands. There are 19 feet of blood vessels and over 19,000 sensory cells in that square inch. Those sensory cells can detect an object as small as 1/100th of a millimeter. • The skin is made up of three layers – the epidermis, which is the outer layer, the middle layer called the dermis, and the deepest layer called the subcutis. The epidermis is thickest on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet, about 1.5 millimeter thick. The subcutis contains blood vessels, hair follicle roots, and nerves. turn the page for more!

Helping Hand

• When a person is born, skin is about 1 millimeter thick and will grow to about 3 millimeters by adulthood. • The body’s three million sweat glands will produce about two quarts of fluid on a warm summer day. When sweat evaporates off the skin, body heat is reduced. Sweat glands are the most concentrated on the bottom of the feet, with the least concentration on the body’s back. The smell of sweat is affected by a person’s mood, diet, hormones, medical condition, or drugs. • Our skin is thinnest on our eyelids, just 0.02 m thick. • Why does our skin bruise? It’s caused by blood capillaries that burst near the skin’s surface. The blood cells quickly die and change color, creating the purplish bruise. The bruise fades as those cells are carried off by the body. • And why does our skin tan when we’re out in the sun? It’s the result of our skin secreting melanin, a brown pigment that helps block out harmful ultraviolet rays. Thousands of years ago, when dark-skinned humans migrated to colder climates, much of their melanin pigment was lost and white skin began to appear. • There are two types of melanin – pheomelanin, which varies from yellow to red in color, and eumelanin, which is dark brown to black. Pheomelanin is responsible for our pink lips and for red hair color. Eumelanin contributes to brown and black skin and hair. A person with a complete or partial absence of melanin is known as an albino. • Skin that is glabrous has no hair.

By the time you’re 70, you will have shed about 40 lbs. of dead skin. • Skin cancer is the most common of all cancers, accounting for almost half of cancer diagnoses in the United States.

● On Dec. 11, 1944, the city of Toronto, Canada, is battered with its worst-ever snowfall. Twenty-one people died as nearly 20 inches of snow fell in a single day. The storm took place during World War II, and the city’s ammunition factory was forced to close. ● On name Dec.is10, kidnapped Frank 1. What given1963, to the area where bones Sinatra meet?

SKIN AND BONES (cont'd): • The longest and strongest bone of the skeleton is the femur, the thighbone, accounting for nearly 25% of a body’s height. The femur can support 30 times its own weight. The largest bone is the pelvis, and the smallest is located in the middle ear. The tiny stapes, commonly called the stirrup is only 0.11 inches long, about the size of a grain of rice. It’s the only bone that’s fully grown at birth. • The parts of the body with most bones are the arms and hands with a total of 60. Legs and feet are next with 58, followed by the 26 vertebrae.

Senior News Line by Matilda Charles

Anxiety Can Trigger Alzheimer’s Disease Many times anxiety is a good thing. It keeps us alert and paying attention in situations where there might be danger or concerns. Then, once the problem has passed, the anxiety fades away. Anxiety doesn’t always disappear, however -- and it can have consequences when it doesn’t: Chronic anxiety in those who have mild cognitive impairment can increase the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, as well as the speed with which it develops. While studies have looked at the link between depression and Alzheimer’s, until now there was no research looking at mild cognitive impairment, anxiety and Alzheimer’s. A recent three-year study in Canada concluded that mild anxiety increased the risk of Alzheimer’s by 33 percent. Moderate anxiety caused a 78 percent increase, and severe anxiety increased the risk by 135 percent. These participants scored low on depression levels. One of the researchers believes that if patients have memory problems, they also should be screened for anxiety, which usually isn’t done. Anxiety disorders are anxieties that last for six months or more and come with a host of symptoms and names: obsessivecompulsive disorder, social phobia, generalized anxiety disorder and others. All have different treatments, ranging from drugs to cognitive behavior therapy to psychotherapy. What they have in common is that the faster the treatment, the better and sooner the outcome. If you wonder whether you have an anxiety disorder, the first step is to check in with your doctor. He’ll be able to tell whether it’s anxiety or a medical condition causing the anxiety. Once you’re getting treatment, the National Institutes of Health has some suggestions. Consider a support group for anxiety issues -- even if it’s an online chat room -- stress management and meditation even exercise. Q: What does atechniques, skeleton ordersand at a restaurant? A: Spare ribs!

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver

● Those who study such things say that onequarter of all trips made in the United States are less than 1 mile, but three-quarters of those trips still are made by car. ● You may be surprised to learn that rats and mice are ticklish -- they even laugh! ● Popcorn may be indelibly associated with movie theaters these days, but that wasn’t always the case; in the early days of the movies, when the films were still silent, popcorn was actually banned in theaters. The first movie theaters were swanky affairs trying to compete with traditional theaters. The owners didn’t want to have popcorn spilled on the fine upholstery and ground into the carpets. ● Mount Wingen, Australia, is home to the world’s longest-burning fire. The coal deposits there have been aflame for 6,000 years. ● Nobody is really a fan of vacuuming, but did you ever wonder what the most annoying thing about the chore is? Electrolux’s Global Vacuuming Survey found that the single most hated thing about vacuuming is the noise it makes. (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

Kids, Dogs Coming to Visit Q. I’m hosting the family over the holidays for the first time in my new home. But I’m a bit stressed as my siblings have kids and there will be a dog visiting. How can I make sure the kids don’t get into my workshop or other danger areas? -- Bill in Utica, N.Y. A: The best way to keep them out of the workshop is to lock it up. But if that’s not possible -- say, it’s in the garage or somewhere everyone accesses -- then remove tools and small items and store them in a box they can’t see through, placed high on a shelf. Ditto with any blades or garden tools -move them out of reach and out of sight. If you have a pool, make sure the winter cover is secure and lock any doors that access the pool. Again, if that’s not possible, make sure the family knows what areas are off limits, and ask parents to keep their kids in sight. There also are some danger areas inside the home, particularly for toddlers and pets. Move all chemicals and cleaning items out of common areas like the kitchen and laundry room, and store them on high shelves out of sight. Definitely don’t store chemicals next to food or drinks. Make sure items like bread, chips or other foods are stored off the floor so that the dog can’t get into them (eating people food isn’t just unhealthy -- dogs pigging out on lots of these items at once can suffer serious complications such as bloat). Cover all heating registers with appropriate grates that little hands and paws can’t get through. If you’re remodeling or working on an area of the house, clean up construction debris and tools, or close off the area. This sounds like a lot of hustling around worrying about every possible thing that can go wrong, but it’s good to have your house organized safely at all times, anyway. Look at this as an opportunity to get those garden tools put away the way you always wanted, and to organize your home-improvement items. You won’t have to worry about it again until next year. HOME TIP: Set a bucket filled with a mixture of sand and ice melt near the garage door before snow or ice form, so you can quickly treat the walkways and driveway when needed. Send your questions or home tips to ask@thisisahammer.com. (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

NOW HERE’S A TIP By JoAnn Derson

● “If you have dry skin on elbows, knees or feet, get a container of Vaseline or other petroleum jelly. Rub a little bit of it into the dry skin areas at night, and you should see a difference in a week.” -- E.L. in California ● “A great addition to coffee is flavored ice cream. It adds sweetness, creaminess and a hint of something surprising. Also, it cools hot brew and puts a fancy little froth on top.” -- W.L. in West Virginia ● Static season is here. To calm flyaways in static-charged hair, try these two tricks: 1) Condition your brush by soaking it in water with hair conditioner added. (Don’t soak a wood-handled brush.) 2) When you’re out and about, apply a little lip balm like Chapstick to your palms, then run them over your hair. ● Coffee filters can be stacked between frying pans to keep them from scratching one another. This is especially true for nonstick-coated pans. If you have a good collection of potholders, they can be used too. Send your tips to Now Here’s a Tip, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O.

FAMOUS CANADIANS:

RAYMOND BURR

We know him best as defense attorney Perry Mason on the long-running television series. But there’s more to Raymond Burr than just the courtroom, as you’ll see. • New Westminster, British Columbia, was the birthplace of Raymond Burr, born to a local hardware salesman and his musician wife in 1917. He spent his early childhood in Canada, but at age 12, his pianist/music teacher mother followed her dream to Berkeley, California, taking Burr with her. • After a year-long stint in the Civilian Conservation Corps, Burr moved on to his true love, the theater. He began serious acting at the Pasadena Playhouse at age 20, and four years later, he had his first Broadway role. His deep and distinctive voice was frequently heard on radio dramas as well. • Although we think of Raymond Burr mainly as a television actor, he actually had roles in more than 60 movies between 1946 and 1957, long before he appeared on the small screen. In 1956, the highly successful novels by Erle Stanley Gardner were to be turned into a new courtroom drama. Burr auditioned for the role of the District Attorney Hamilton Burger. Gardner attended the auditions, and although Burr was auditioning for the opposing role, Gardner immediately spoke up, “He is Perry Mason.” Another actor, William Talman, who was auditioning for the Mason role, was given the District Attorney part. Perry Mason aired from 1957 to 1966, during which time Burr won two Emmy Awards for his performance. Re-runs of all episodes have been in syndication ever since. • There was no rest for Burr following the termination of Perry Mason. Television’s 1967 season brought a new drama to NBC, that of Ironside. Burr played San Francisco Chief of Detectives Robert Ironside, an officer critically wounded in the pilot episode and left confined to a wheelchair. Ironside was the first crime drama to feature a disabled police officer. This series was another big hit, and ran from 1967 to 1975, earning Burr six Emmy nominations and two Golden Globe nominations. • Burr’s next series, Kingston Confidential, in 1977, in which he played a publishing magnate/amateur detective, was not successful, perhaps due to its time slot opposite the highly-popular Charlie’s Angels. It was cancelled after just 13 weeks. • One of Burr’s many hobbies was collecting seashells, and in 1965, he purchased a 4,000-acre island in Fiji called Naitauba, one extremely rich in shells. He also enjoyed cultivating orchids, something that he could pursue on his island. Burr was also an avid fisherman and loved sailing. • In 1985, television producers figured it was time to bring back Perry Mason, and 26 made-for-TV movies were produced before Burr’s death. Burr’s philanthropic efforts included the donation of his salaries from the Mason movies to charity. He donated large sums of money to medical and education institutions in Denver, where the movies were primarily filmed. He was the sponsor of 26 foster children through Save The Children. His donations helped establish the Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum in Sanibel, Florida. For many years, New Westminster, B.C. was home to the Raymond Burr Performing Arts Centre. • TV Guide has ranked Raymond Burr as #44 on their list of the 50 Greatest TV Stars of all Time.
