• When type is printed in italics, the font slants slightly to the right. This isn’t a new typeface, but rather was first used in Italy in 1500, hence the name “italic.” Italics are used for a number of purposes, including emphasizing a word in print. Books, plays, and periodicals are written in italics, as are names of ships, foreign words, and the Latin genus and species names in biology. • Although elephants usually come to mind when the word ivory is mentioned, there are several other tusked mammals, including the walrus, hippopotamus, sperm whale, narwhal, and wart hog. No matter the species of animal, the chemical structure of tusks is the same, similar to that of bones and antlers, except that ivory has no blood vessel system, making it much denser than bone. Dentine, the main component is a connective tissue of minerals and protein. International trade in ivory has been illegal for decades, but continues underground, with 1 lb. bringing in $1,000. The tusks of one elephant can be worth more than ten times the average annual salary in most of the African countries where the elephant is found. turn the page for more!

“MY VICTORY WAS GOING FROM HOMELESS TO HOME.”

• If you’re suffering from icterus, your skin and the whites of your eyes will appear yellow. The more common name for his ailment is jaundice, from the French word jaune, meaning “yellow.” Bilirubin is a yellow substance produced when the liver breaks down old red cells. When the substance is at high levels, the yellowish pigmentation appears. The condition is common in infants around Day Two of life, and can be alleviated by exposing the baby to light and sunlight, which promotes the production of Vitamin D. Hepatitis, liver cancer, and bile duct blockage can also produce icterus. • Idaho is nicknamed the “Gem State” because almost every known type of gemstone has been found there. In fact, its state gem, the star garnet, can only be found there and in India. This mountainous state was the 43rd state admitted to the Union and has an area larger than that of all the New England states combined. It’s believed that the name Idaho traces its origins to the Shoshone language, translating “the sun comes from the mountains.” Two major grocery chains, Safeway and Albertsons, have their roots in the state of Idaho. Famous folks born there include baseball great Harmon Killebrew, Olympic skier Picabo Street, and actress Lana Turner.

• Izzard might sound like a rare animal or one of its parts, but it’s actually the Old English word for the letter “Z”. The expression “from A to izzard” means “from beginning to end.” If you “don’t know A from izzard,” you don’t know even the most basic things. Izzard is related to the British use of “zed” for Z, while the Scots call it “ezed.” Teacher: Tell me a sentence that starts with "I." Student: I is the ... Teacher: Stop! Never put "is" after "I." Always put 'am' after "I." Student: OK. I am the ninth letter of the alphabet.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

by Samantha Weaver ● Those who study such things say that, on a per-capita basis, residents of Louisiana consume twice as much electricity as residents of Maine. ● Of all the works of art stolen in Europe, 60 percent of it ends up in London. ● The name Samantha is thought by some to be a combination of the biblical name Samuel and anthos, the Greek word for flower. During Puritanical times the name became associated with witchcraft, causing a steep decline in its usage. When the TV series “Bewitched” premiered in 1964 -- featuring a witch named Samantha -- the name began steadily gaining in popularity. By 2009, it was the ninth most popular name for girls born in the U.S. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

The “I’S” HAVE IT! (continued):

• Ibex and ibis might look like similar words, but these two creatures are vastly different. The ibex is a wild goat with large curved horns that lives in the European Alps. Its habitat is the mountainous regions from 5,900 to 10,800 feet. The ibis is a long-legged wading bird related to the heron. Its long slender, downwardly-curved bill enables them to probe mud for food. Florida’s University of Miami has chosen the white ibis as its school mascot because of its bravery. Legend has it that the ibis is the last creature to take shelter before a hurricane, and the first to reappear when the storm has passed. • The driest known object in the Solar System is Io, one of the moons of the planet Jupiter. Discovered in 1610, it’s also the most geologically active object, with more than 400 active volcanoes. This moon is named for the mythological priestess Io, a mortal lover of Zeus, ruler of the Olympian gods. According to Greek mythology, Zeus turned her into a heifer in order to hide her from his wife. • Can you translate this sentence? Those who are impavid have no iatrophobia. To be impavid means a person is fearless; therefore, he has no fear of going to the doctor, which is iatrophobia.

• When we mention a school as being “Ivy League,” it belongs to a group of eight long-established U.S. universities in the eastern part of the country. The group includes Harvard, the nation’s oldest institute of higher learning, founded in 1636. Harvard was initially a school for the clergy, gradually becoming secular in the 1700s. Yale was founded in New Haven, CT in 1702 as a training ground for political leaders and clergymen. Today it is home to the second-largest academic library in the U.S., second only to Harvard. Princeton University was founded in 1746 as the College of New Jersey, its name until 1896. Founded in 1740 by Benjamin Franklin, the University of Pennsylvania was established in Philadelphia with a focus on education for public service and commerce. Providence, Rhode Island’s Brown University was founded in 1746. The smallest of the group is Dartmouth, established in 1769 in Hanover, New Hampshire. Located in New York City, Columbia University was founded in 1754 by a royal charter of King George II of England. The final Ivy League college is Cornell, founded in 1865 in Ithaca, New York. During the 1800s, “planting the ivy” was a traditional ceremony at many colleges, and the ivy-covered walls reflect the efforts of students each Spring. It wasn’t until the early 1930s that this group of universities were described as “Ivy colleges.” They term “Ivy League” was first used in 1954, when the NCAA athletic conference was formed and the eight schools became part of the Division.

Announced months ago, the site has added six more quality measurements and has added the star features, making it easier to do comparisons when the time comes to pick out a nursing home. To find the nursing home ratings, go online to www.medicare.gov and put “nursing home compare” in the search box. Put in your ZIP code, and you can compare up to three at a time.

MUSHROOMS

September is National Mushroom Month, and September 10 and 11 have been designated Mushroom Days by a group of mushroom devotees. In conjunction with this observance, Tidbits is conveying some information on these little fungi. • In 1986, the residents of Kennett Square, Pennsylvania were attempting to raise funds for scholarships for local students, and put together the community’s first Mushroom Festival. Vendors gathered along a one-block area to host the event, which has now grown into a mile-long stretch, with exhibits, culinary events, kids’ activities, and upwards of 200 vendors, attended by 100,000 spectators. Since 2000, the community’s grant program has donated $700,000 to local non-profits. • Mushrooms are the spore-bearing body of a fungus, classified as such because it has no chlorophyll and produces spores rather than seeds. A single mushroom can drop as many as 16 billion spores. The word “fungus” has its roots in the Greek word sphongos, meaning “sponge.” The part that we see growing above the ground is the fruit of the organism, with a web of tiny filaments growing underground. Because they have no chlorophyll, mushrooms require no sunlight to make energy. • Truffles are mushrooms that grow below the ground and are one of the world’s most expensive foods, highly valued in Italy to flavor pasta sauces. Several varieties can cost up to $1,500 a pound. The largest and most expensive truffle to date was harvested in Tuscany and fetched $330,000 at auction. Although truffles normally weigh between 1 and 3 ounces this record-holder weighed in at 3.3 lbs.. • China, the world’s largest producer of edible mushrooms, grows about half of all cultivated mushrooms. • There are about 10,000 known species of mushrooms in North America alone. Of these, 50% are inedible, meaning woody and indigestible. About 25% are edible, but lacking much taste. Another 20% will make you sick, meaning they will severely irritate your digestive tract, resulting in vomiting and/or diarrhea. Just 4% are tasty, and the remaining 1% can kill you. • Edible mushrooms are loaded with health benefits. Research indicates that eating these fungi can help reduce blood pressure, reduce cholesterol, boost the immune system, and reduce stress. They are rich in copper (necessary for red blood cell production), selenium and zinc, which both strengthen the immune system, three B-complex vitamins -- riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid – which release energy, and potassium, necessary for all cell functions. A 100-gram serving contains more fiber than the same amount of celery. • A person who collects mushrooms for consumption is referred to as a mycophagist. • If you have a “fairy ring” in your lawn, it’s actually a mushroom formation that causes the fungi to grow in the outline of a perfect circle. Some of the oldest living fairy rings grow around England’s Stonehenge monument, with rings up to 328 feet wide. According to some legends, fairy rings mark the site of witches or fairies dancing, while others say the rings show where the Devil set his milk churn. • The largest living organism on Earth is a 2,400-year-old giant mushroom in Oregon. This honey mushroom species covers 2,200 acres, and is a parasitic variety that consumes wood and is slowly killing off the trees in the forest by creating a destructive white rot.
