• The invention of the UPC code began back in 1948, when the president of the Food Fair chain of grocery stores went to see the dean of Philadelphia’s Drexel Institute of Technology to beg him to instigate research on capturing product information automatically at the checkout counter. The dean said no, but the entire conversation had been overheard by a graduate student named Bernard Silver. • Silver was intrigued and mentioned the issue to his friend Joseph Woodland, who was a graduate student and teacher at Drexel. Together the two men began to work on the project. • Woodland, who had once worked on the Manhattan Project, had recently been working on a plan to improve Musak through renovations in sound technology. He was mulling over Silver’s product information problem while lounging on Miami Beach one day. He pulled his fingers through the sand, leaving lines. This gave him the idea to begin with Morse code and just extend the lines, so dots became skinny lines and dashes became fat lines— the first bar code. (cont’d next page)

• To read the code, Woodland used the same technology he’d been working with on his Musak project. The technology was originally invented for movie sound tracks: sound was printed in a lightand-dark pattern on a transparent strip along the edges of the film, read by a light, transformed to electric waveforms, converted to sound, and played by loudspeakers. Woodland and Silver filed a patent application on October 20, 1949. • In 1951 Woodland got a job with IBM where he hoped to push his invention forward. In his spare time, he and Silver built the first actual bar code scanner in the middle of Woodland’s living room. The finished product was the size of a desk, wrapped in oil cloth to keep out the light, and used a 500-watt light bulb along with the same kind of photomultiplier tube used in movie sound systems, which was hooked up to an oscilloscope. When a bar code on a piece of paper was moved across a beam of light from the bulb, the beam was reflected into the tube of the sound system, which caused the signal of the oscilloscope to move, which translated what had been on the paper. It was crude, it was huge, it so terribly hot it caused the paper to catch on fire, but it worked. Their patent was granted in 1952. • IBM offered to buy the patent, but Woodland and Silver thought the offer was too low. A few weeks later, Philco met their price and purchased the patent in 1962. Philco later sold the patent rights to RCA. • Meantime, technology progressed relentlessly. By the late 1960s, lasers were common and inexpensive. Lasers used a single milli-watt helium-neon beam instead of a 500-watt incandescent bulb. Integrated circuits were invented, and suddenly a single microchip could do the work of a wall full of switches. The bars of the bar code were revised to record the numbers 0 through 9 instead of Morse code. (cont'd next page)

Tools 4 life By DR. Jim coyle

Log Ride

One of my favorite rides at an amusement park is the log ride. The best part is getting wet on a hot day while experiencing the climbs, drops, and turns of a fast moving current of water that is in complete control of your short 3 minute journey. The silent, subtle, and dangerous shift from amusement to alarm happens when we fail to exit. Life’s currents have the ability to sweep us away while we are not aware of the dangers associated with the rapids that are waiting to tip us over and bang us up as we reach out to hold on for dear life. Some of the signs of drifting away are; slipping back into old habits, not making amends to forgive myself or others from an offense caused or felt, doing things that are expedient and comfortable instead of what’s right, feeding the bark of the bad wolf verses the cry of the good wolf, and watching relationships fall away in the wake of the current. These signs and symptoms (and others) become the root of attitude shifts which contribute to behaviors that hinder us living out our full potential. If you find yourself drifting off course, take the nearest exit. Refocus and start living your life with purpose. Resist holding onto driftwood and take hold of God’s plan for your life. “You’re blessed when you stay on course, walking steadily on the road revealed by God. You’re blessed when you follow his directions, doing your best to find him.” Psalm 119:1-2

(cont’d) • Railroads were interested in bar codes because tracking freight cars caused an impossible tangle of paperwork. In 1969, railroads became the first industry to make widespread use of the bar code. General Trading Company of New Jersey followed suit, using bar codes to direct shipments to the right loading docks in its distribution facility. Then the General Motors plant in Michigan began to use them to monitor production. • In 1973, the Uniform Grocery Product Code set nationwide standards for the bar code and the Universal Product Code – or UPC – was born. The National Cash Register Company began building efficient scanners and introduced the first model at the 1974 convention of the Super Market Institute. • Six weeks later, on June 26, 1974 at the Marsh supermarket in Troy, Ohio, a jumbo package of Wrigley’s chewing gum was the first item ever scanned. It just happened to be the first item out of the shopping cart of a shopper, and it is on display at the Smithsonian Institute. • The UPC code is composed of two sets of five digits which give the manufacturer’s code first and the product code second, so that every item scanned has its own unique ID number. The identifying numerals are also printed along the bottom of the bar code for the sake of the checkers, in case the scanner is down or the bar code has been partially obscured and the item needs to be entered by hand. There’s also a single digit on the left side that identifies which type of product the item is: meat, produce, drugs, etc. And a single digit on the right acts as a “check digit.” It adds up some of the previous numbers and subtracts them from 10 to come up with the magic ‘Everything OK’ number. If someone has altered the code with a felt tip marker, the numbers don’t add up and the product is rejected. • Modern optical scanners use the same basic principal introduced by Woodland and Silver: a beam of light passing across the code records the light and dark spaces as electrical pulses, which are fed into a computer that can recognize the series of pulses as characters and match them to products.

(cont’d) • The information is fed to the computer, which not only knows the price of the item but also acts as an inventory system, tracking how much of any given item is still on hand, how fast it’s being sold, when it will need to be re-ordered, how many coupons have been redeemed, as well as tracking community purchasing patterns. • Bar codes are not just for pricing products. They are also used for tracking inventory on aircraft carriers; for coding blood in blood banks; for following applications in the Patent Office; for identifying people in places like hospitals, libraries, and cafeterias; for sorting baggage at airports; for marking clothing left at the dry cleaner’s; for monitoring radio-collared endangered animals; and for keeping track of logs in lumberyards. The Army uses them to identify ships. Runners in the New York City Marathon don bar codes on their vests and the computer records the order in which they cross the finish line. At the Masters Golf Tournament in Georgia, bar codes on spectator passes prevent scalping and theft of badges. NASA put bar codes on the backs of heat-resistant tiles to make sure they were installed on the correct spots of the space shuttles. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration requires all hazardous materials have bar codes that can be easily scanned to find out its characteristics in case there’s an accident. • Silver, who died in 1963 at the age of 38, never got to see his invention reach phenomenal proportions.

The polite policeman explained that this elderly gentleman said that he was lost in the park…and couldn’t find his way home.

Social Security’s My Account

--If you’ve lost or misplaced your Medicare card, you now can get a replacement online -- at the Social Security My Account site. My Account is a place where you can sign up to track earnings, change your address and much more, and Social Security encourages you to use this online feature. At the bottom of the page where you can create a new My Account is a tiny note about blocking electronic access. If you wish to block access to your online Social Security account (for example, if you’ve been the victim of domestic violence or the victim of identity theft), you can do that online as well. If you later decide you want access, you can contact Social Security to unblock it. If you have a security freeze or fraud alert on your Experian credit report, you cannot create a My Account. Here’s why: When you sign up for an account, it looks at items in your credit file and asks you questions about them as a means of identifying you. For example, it might ask the price range of your auto payment, or the last five digits of your credit card, or the amount of your mortgage payment -- all information that’s on your credit report. If you want to receive a paper copy of your Social Security Statement without doing it online, you can print out the “Request for Social Security Statement” (Form SSA-7004) and mail it in. You’ll get your paper copy in four to six weeks. The general number to call for Social Security questions is 1-800-7721213. To learn more about the Social Security My Account, go online to www. socialsecurity.gov/myaccount.

1. The bar code scanner reads the white bars in 3 bars; it’s reading the gaps in between the black between bars instead of the bars themselves. 2. The 13-digit bar code system can produce a nearly infinite number of unique bar codes: an estimated ten thousand billion.

The world’s smallest barcode was developed by Dr. Stephen Buchmann at the Carl Hayden Bee Research Center in Arizona. Tiny bar-coded tags were attached to bees to monitor their mating habits. Each line of the code was one thousandth of an inch wide.

NO UPC I was checking out at the local Foodland with just a few items and the lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine. I picked up one of those “Dividers” that they keep by the cash register and placed it between our things so they wouldn’t get mixed. After the girl had scanned all of my items, she picked up the “Divider” looking it all over for the bar code so she could scan it. Not finding the bar code she said to me “Do you know how much this is?” and I said to her “I’ve changed my mind, I don’t think I’ll buy that today.” She said “OK” and I paid her for the things and left. She had no clue to what had just happened…..

Noteworthy Inventions

JOHN PATTERSON

• John Patterson’s coal company had a problem with employees robbing the till. There was no reliable method of making sure clerks didn’t simply help themselves to the cash that came into the store during the day. When Patterson heard about a saloonkeeper who had solved the problem by inventing a money tabulating machine, he investigated. • The machine was a crude cash register that kept a running tab of money received during the day. The saloon keeper patented it in 1879 but had sold only 19 in two years. Patterson ordered two of them sight unseen. They cost $50 each. In the next six months his previously unprofitable coal store turned a $5,000 profit because employees were no longer able to stuff money in their pockets. • Patterson was so impressed that he bought the cash register company for $6,500. He renamed the company National Cash Register, shortened to NCR. He was convinced that selling cash registers would make him rich.

All Chinese barcodes start with an eight, because it is pronounced the same way as the word for “prosperity” and is considered to be a lucky number.

• Patterson changed his strategy, next sending out fancy hand-addressed envelopes marked “highly confidential.” Inside, the store owners found a fancy invitation asking them to come to the best hotel in town for a demonstration of a fool-proof method of ending employee theft forever. Just for showing up they would receive a handsome gift (such as a nice letter opener).

• Next he turned to improving conditions for his workers. In an era of sweatshops, his factory in Dayton, Ohio, had floor-to-ceiling windows and landscaped gardens. There were hot showers and a cafeteria serving subsidized food. Free medical care was provided. Employees were invited to take advantage of night school, a library, and lectures and concerts, which were all on company grounds and provided for free. • But Patterson had a temper as well, and was well known for firing people on a whim. One of the people he fired was Charles Kettering, who had designed many improvements in the cash register. Charles was fired for failing to demonstrate proper horsemanship in a company exhibition. Kettering went to work for the auto industry instead, where he made many astonishing discoveries. Another fired employee was Thomas Watson, who subsequently went to work transforming IBM into an industrial giant. • By the time Patterson died in 1922 at the age of 78, National Cash Register was a thriving industry. His son took over after his death and ensured that the company continued to thrive.

• He started out by mailing out 90,000 brochures to every major retailer in the Midwest. It was the nation’s first serious direct-mail campaign— and was a complete failure. Patterson discovered that the brochures had been received by the same salesclerks that were stealing cash. The brochures were destroyed before they could be seen by the business owners.

• Patterson’s next move was to carefully coach all his salesmen in what was the nation’s first “canned speech.” He made sure they had their sales speech completely memorized, drilling them on questions prospective customers might ask. He instructed them how to behave towards the clients, and sent them fully prepared into the field. He also gave each salesman their own territory, which was another new innovation. Then he invented the sales convention, which was “part circus, part camp meeting, and part Chautauqua.” • Cash register sales, barely 1,000 in 1886, reached 15,000 in 1892 and 100,000 in 1910. The following year, NCR sold its millionth machine, as it became apparent that a cash register was an essential tool for retail sales.

Every year, Americans reportedly throw away 100 billion plastic grocery bags. The average American family takes home almost 1,500 plastic shopping bags a year. Less than 5% are recycled. Plastic bags can take up to 1,000 years to break down. The amount of petroleum used to make a plastic bag would drive a car about 125 yards (115 m). It would take only 14 plastic bags to drive one mile!

GROCERY STORE FACTS

• In 1936 a grocer named Goldman in Oklahoma noticed that people stopped shopping as soon as their arms got full. Most shoppers brought their own hand held baskets from home. So Goldman invented a big basket on wheels so shoppers could buy more. Shoppers at first resisted using the grocery cart, feeling it made them look silly. Goldman hired women to walk around the store putting items in their carts. Goldman made a fortune selling his baskets to other stores. • A store will lose about 12% of its carts every year to theft. Each cart costs about $100. • In a typical year about 33,000 accidents involving shopping carts will be reported. • The average American makes 3.4 trips to the grocery store each week. Fridays are the most popular days for grocery shopping. Saturdays and Tuesdays tie for second place. • Women do the grocery shopping 70% of the time; men do it 17% of the time; and the rest of the time they do it together. Less than half of shoppers shop alone. • Grocery stores are designed to make the customer walk as far as possible, with basic staples placed at the far ends of the store. Studies show it’s how far the person walks in the store rather than the amount of time spent in the store that influences how much money is spent. • Whatever department is closest to the door in a grocery store will typically sell 1% more merchandise than if it’s placed elsewhere in the store.

• Cereals high in sugar are always stored at kids’ eye level whereas nutritious brands are placed at the adult eye level. Children’s cereals have an average of 44% sugar but adult cereals have 10% sugar. A typical store has 124 cold cereals. • It was 1910 when the first premium was packed inside a cereal box. The Jungleland Funny Moving Pictures Book was put inside each box of Kellogg’s Corn Flakes.

• Lemon Pledge furniture polish has more lemon in it than Country Time Lemonade does. • The FDA ordered Mazola to remove the words “no cholesterol” from its label because the product had never contained cholesterol, nor does any vegetable oil contain cholesterol. • The Federal Trade Commission went up against ITT Continental in 1979 for claiming their Fresh Horizons bread contained five times the fiber as whole wheat bread. The claim was true, but the company didn’t mention the extra fiber came from wood pulp. • Sales and consumption of white bread increased every year up until 1963, when it began a slow decline. • Ever wonder why you never see Grade B eggs at the supermarket? Those are the eggs that are sent to bakeries and other factories where the less-than-perfect eggs are used as an ingredient. • When supermarkets first made the scene, one store called the Alpha Beta arranged everything in alphabetical order so that customers could find everything.
