Tools 4 life

A four year old was out riding her brand new tricycle. Mom had to go inside for a few minutes and had a stern conversation establishing the boundaries. She pointed to the neighbor’s driveway on one side and a tree on their property for the other side. “You are to stay between the driveway and the tree. If you go past either you will get a spanking.” She backed up her trike to mom’s feet and said; “You might as well spank me now. I have places to go.” We all have places to go beyond the boundaries of our youth. You are created for a unique purpose in this life and the only way to find out that purpose is to pedal beyond the safe zone. 2 “Enlarge “California is a fine to live - ifdo not the place of your tent, stretch yourplace tent curtains wide, hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes.3 you happen to be For you will spread out to the rightan andorange.” to the left.

FRUIT FACTS

• You can’t pick an orange when it’s wet because moisture causes the skin to tighten which makes it very fragile. Orange picking has to wait until the dew dries in the morning and until after the sun has come out following rainstorms. • Oranges have a natural wax which protects the fruit from dehydration. During processing, the wax is washed off as the fruit is cleaned. Therefore, an artificial (and edible) wax is applied to the skin of the orange before it leaves the processing plant. Too much wax and the orange suffocates. Too little and it shrivels due to dehydration. • An orange will last about a month after being picked. An orange will not continue to ripen after it is picked. • Oranges that grow high on the tree are sweeter than those that grow on the lower branches. Oranges that grow on the outside branches are sweeter than those growing on inside branches. Oranges growing on the south side of the tree are sweeter than those on the north side of the tree. • The same is true about the amount of juice in an orange, and the amount of vitamin C it contains. Within a single orange, the blossom end will always be sweeter than the stem end. California oranges, where the climate is arid, have thicker skins than Florida oranges, where the climate is wet. • Green oranges are just as sweet as orange oranges, and oranges only turn orange when the weather turns cold. Oranges that have turned orange in the cold weather will revert to green again if the weather warms up once more. In many areas, such as Thailand, all oranges remain green constantly and never turn orange at all.

● On March 5, 1839, Charlotte Bronte writes to the Rev. Henry Nussey, declining marriage. The 23-year-old Bronte told him that he would find her “romantic and eccentric,” and not practical enough to be a clergyman’s wife. Her novel “Jane Eyre” was published eight years later. ● On March 3, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln signs a bill creating the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands. Known as the Freedmen’s Bureau, this federal agency oversaw the transition of blacks from slavery to freedom. ● On March 4, 1888, Knute Rockne is born in Voss, Norway. He would go on to become one of the most successful coaches in the history of college football, leading Notre Dame during its golden era in the 1920s. Rockne won three undisputed national championships with the Fighting Irish. ● On March 7, 1938, Janet Guthrie, the first woman to compete in the Indianapolis 500 and Daytona 500 races, is born in Iowa. In 1976, she was the first woman to compete in a NASCAR Winston Cup superspeedway race. ● On March 2, 1978, in a famous case of body-snatching, two men steal the corpse of film actor Sir Charles Chaplin from a cemetery in Switzerland. After a five-week investigation, police arrested two auto mechanics, who led them to Chaplin's body. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

• The use of ethylene gas was first discovered when Californians noticed that oranges kept in a room where a kerosene stove was being used turned orange very quickly. At first they assumed it was the heat, so packinghouses began ‘ripening’ their oranges in heated rooms, which only served to dehydrate the fruit. Eventually it was discovered that it was the ethylene gas produced in the combustion of kerosene which was actually affecting the color of the oranges.

JUICE

• The search for an orange juice concentrate began during World War II when soldiers needed nutritious drinks in the field. The process of concentrating the juice was finally perfected in 1948. Today, about 96 percent of Florida’s oranges are processed into juice. • The majority of California’s crop is sold as fresh fruit, whereas Florida’s oranges become juice products. • 53% of total global frozen concentrated orange juice production comes from Brazil. • Orange juice squeezed at home will begin to turn bitter within hours because it reacts with oxygen. Orange juice squeezed in a factory is pasteurized which helps prevent this. • When Citrus Hill decided to call their orange juice “Fresh Choice,” the FDA seized 2,000 cases because the label, reading “Citrus Hill Fresh Choice Orange Juice” led people to believe the juice was fresh when it was not.

• The demand for lemons and their scurvypreventing properties hit a peak during the California Gold Rush of 1849. Miners were willing to pay huge sums for a single lemon. As a result, lemon trees were planted in abundance throughout California. • Today, California and Arizona produce 95% of the entire U.S. lemon crop. California produces more lemons than all of Europe.

• Lemons are technically berries, as are oranges, watermelons, and tomatoes.

• Although lemon trees need lots of sunshine and cannot tolerate killing frosts, they grow surprisingly well in poor soil, even in sandy soils. Lemon trees bloom and produce fruit year-round. Each tree can produce between 500 and 600 pounds of lemons in a year, which amounts up to 3,000 lemons annually. • Lemon juice is about 5 percent citric acid, making it a natural for slowing the browning or oxidation of fresh, raw foods: apples, avocados, bananas, and other fruits.

• When given a choice of orange, grapefruit, peaches, apples, or lemon, cattle will eat lemons first. This is thought to be because the citric acid in lemons aids in digestion.

gray matter in people who meditate. Two years later those same researchers learned that in people who meditate, the connections between areas in the brain are stronger and have less of the brain atrophy that usually comes with age. In this case, the connections weren’t just between specific parts of the brain, but in the whole brain. Whether the meditation caused brain growth or stopped the reduction wasn’t known at the time. A year later, scientists learned that the brains of those who meditate have “gyrification,” allowing the brain to process information faster. Additionally it appeared that the more years of meditation, the more gyrification was present. The UCLA researchers are back. Their updated research indicates that meditation might slow the loss of gray matter in the brain. While they expected some small amount of effect, they were surprised at the “widespread effect of meditation ... throughout the entire brain.” What does this mean for us? That we should seriously consider meditation as part of our daily routine to possibly hold off age-related brain changes. Meditation can be learned, and so it’s best to start with a bit of instruction. If your senior center doesn’t offer classes, go online and research “learn meditation” to help you get started. You also might find ongoing classes in your area, and it’s possible that they will be free. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

Different types of oranges have different amounts of vitamin C in them, and the vitamin C content fluctuates during the growing and harvest seasons. (Generally, the longer the fruit stays on the tree, the lower the level of vitamin C.) The amount of vitamin C also changes according to how long the orange has been in storage, and what temperature it’s been kept at. Orange juice also loses vitamin C over time at different rates according to what kind of container it’s stored in. Today’s frozen concentrated orange juices are stored in specially made cartons that have multiple layers to keep out oxygen and light, which prevent the vitamin C from deteriorating.

NOTEWORTHY INVENTIONS

Classifieds Of Linn County

ORANGE JULIUS

• In 1926 Julius Freed decided he wanted to open an orange juice stand in Los Angeles. Real estate broker Bill Hamlin helped him find a location for his stand downtown. Julius and Bill subsequently became friends. • Julius didn’t do badly, but he thought there was room for improvement. Bill had a sensitive stomach and the acid in the orange juice bothered him. Bill also happened to be a chemist, so be began experimenting with orange juice recipes. • One day he presented Julius with a recipe that mixed orange juice, ice, and milk in a blender for a creamier, smoother, more interesting drink than just plain orange juice. • When Julius began selling it, his income jumped, rising from an average of $20 a day ($266 in today’s money) to $100 a day ($1,333). Because people in line at his stand would call out, “Give me an orange, Julius!” he named the new drink after himself: Orange Julius. • Soon Julius Freed began franchising his operations, assisted by Bill Hamlin who quit his job in real estate and focused on opening Orange Julius stores across the United States. Within three years they had opened 100 stores and the profits for the system, whose only product was a 10-cent drink, approached $3 million. As shopping malls began expanding across America, so did the Orange Julius franchises. • In 1964, the Orange Julius was named the official drink of the New York World’s Fair. According to the Orange Julius website, the drink was also subsequently named the official drink of Intergalactic Fair in Andromeda Galaxy in 1965, although those reports remain unconfirmed. • In 1965 Johnny Carson was granted a lifetime pass to every Orange Julius restaurant outlet in the country. Astronaut Alan Shepard was given a similar pass the following year. • It has been widely reported that in his spare time, Julius also invented an inflatable shrimp trap and a portable pigeon shower for cleaning racing pigeons, which was one of his hobbies. However, others insist this information is untrue. • By the time Dairy Queen bought the business in 1987, there were Orange Julius stores throughout the U.S. and Canada, selling a variety of fruit smoothies along with the original orange drink, which has changed little since its invention. • Today Orange Julius has more than thousands of stand-alone stores, as well as combination Dairy Queen / Orange Julius locations in the U.S., plus locations in Canada and other international markets. Both Orange Julius and Dairy Queen are currently owned by a multi-national conglomerate called Berkshire Hathaway, whose CEO is billionaire Warren Buffet.

• Here’s the recipe if you want to make a drink similar to the Orange Julius at home: 1 1/4 cup orange juice 1 cup water 3 tablespoons egg white 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 cup sugar 1 cup ice Blend all ingredients except ice in blender. When sugar is dissolved, add ice and blend until creamy. You can vary the recipe by adding milk, cream, yogurt, ice cream, whole eggs, or bananas.
