TIDBITS® SAYS -by Kathy Wolfe This week, Tidbits heads to Old MacDonald’s farm to check out some interesting info about the various animals found there. • “Old MacDonald Had a Farm” was first published in 1917. The oldest recording of the popular tune is thought to be 1925, released by The Sam Patterson Trio on the Edison label. It was followed in 1927 with a version by Gid Tanner & His Skillet Lickers. • It’s believed that the first cows arrived in North America aboard the ships of Christopher Columbus’ second voyage to the Americas in 1493. • The average dairy cow weighs 1,200 lbs. and produces about 8 gallons of milk per day. It can also produce up to 125 lbs. of saliva in one day. Now that’s a lot of drool! • Although the common conception is that cows have four stomachs, they really have just one single stomach with four different digestive chambers – the rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. Because of this, they can digest tough plants that normally would be indigestible. • A cow spends about eight hours a day eating and another eight chewing her cud, which is plain talk for regurgitated, partially digested food. turn the page for more!

Helping Hand

• Chewing about 50 times per minute, a cow will have more than 40,000 jaw movements throughout the day. That cow will drink up to 50 gallons of water every day. • Cows are social animals and actually form friendships with three or four other preferred cows. They can even experience dislike for certain cows. The cow has an amazing sense of smell, able to sniff something up to 6 miles away. • The first chickens most likely came with Christopher Columbus as well. There are now about 200 different breeds, with approximately 280 million laying chickens in the United States, each one producing about 250 to 300 eggs a year. Those seven billion eggs comprise about 10% of the world’s supply. • A hen begins laying eggs at about 19 weeks of age. The older she gets, the larger the eggs she produces. It takes her about 24 to 26 hours to produce an egg. Thirty minutes after the egg is laid, she begins the process all over again. Most eggs are laid between the hours of 7 and 11 AM. The hen needs about 5 oz. of food and 10 oz. of water to create one egg. Farmers can improve egg production just by regulating the lighting in the henhouse. The hens will lay more eggs if they’re fooled into thinking a day is 28 hours long. • Although we don’t think of them as birds of flight, chickens can actually fly. The record-setting flight for a non-stop flight is about 230 yards. They can also travel along the ground at about 9 mph. • Rated the fourth most intelligent animal, pigs are always communicating with each other using their more than 20 different vocalizations, varying from “I’m hungry” to “Wanna be my mate?” see next page for more!

ConfliCt Resolution the 5 five C’s

Conflict resolution is a buzz phrase of learning how to get along through the speed bumps of relationships. Recent studies have shown that the majority of relational conflicts are a result of misunderstandings (about 85%) and the others (15%) are disagreements. If the majority of our conflicts are misunderstandings then we can do something about correcting them. We can work toward a win/win solution if we apply the 5 C’s Clarify perceptions: open yourself up to the other person’s view of the situation

Compromise: begin to work toward the middle to create a win/win solution

Choose: decide on the most favorable option together Challenge: each person involved needs to accept the challenge Commitment: the follow through is the integrity it takes to make it work

• A farmer can expect a fully grown pig to weigh between 300 and 700 lbs. Even at that size, an adult pig can run at speeds of up to 11 mph. A pig can’t see very well, but its sense of smell is highly developed. • Pigs have gotten a bad rap over the years, with folks who eat too much or who are messy referred to as pigs. In actuality, pigs eat slowly and enjoy their food. They are careful not to soil the space where they eat and sleep. If a pig is covered in mud, it’s because it rolled in it to keep cool, and it only does that if water is unavailable. And although people might “sweat like pigs,” pigs don’t even sweat! They are physically unable to do so!

• Goats and sheep are some of the first domesticated animals. They arrived in North America in the 1500s on the ships of Spanish explorers and settlers. Different breeds came over with English settlers in the 1600s. There are now about 200 different breeds of goats, some bred for their fiber (angora, mohair, cashmere), some for the meat, and others as dairy goats. • An average dairy goat produces about a gallon of milk daily. Although we generally think of cows as our chief source of milk, more people drink milk from goats around the world than from any other animal. Goat’s milk is easier to digest than cow’s milk, because the fat globules are smaller and remain dispersed longer in the milk.

• Like the cow, a goat’s stomach also has four chambers. They enjoy all kinds of plant food – shrubs, woody plants, weeds, briars, and aromatic herbs. • Goats are natural-born climbers, and some are able to jump more than 5 feet. They have great flexibility and often stand on their back legs to reach tree branches. They can crawl under fences and occasionally even run along the top. turn the page for more!

* On July 25, 1965, singer-songwriter Bob Dylan rocks the world of folk music when he performs at the Newport Folk Festival and abandons his acoustic guitar for an electric one. By going electric, Dylan eventually moved rock and folk music closer together. * On July 20, 1972, a U.S. government study disputes consumer advocate Ralph Nader’s charges against the Chevrolet Corvair. Conducted by the National Highway Traffic Administration, the two-year study concluded that 1960-63 Covairs were at least as safe as other cars sold in the same period.

• Domesticated around 5,000 years ago in Africa, donkeys can live 30 to 50 years in captivity. They are well known for their ability to carry heavy loads for long distances. Donkeys have a reputation for being stubborn animals, but their dogged refusal to move occasionally is because they are overloaded or they sense danger.

• Donkeys are members of the horse family and are often interbred with horses. The cross between a male donkey (called a jack) and a female horse (mare) produces a mule. Crossing a male horse (stallion) and a female donkey (jenny) results in a hinny, much less common than mules. Mules and hinnies are generally sterile. A donkey can even be interbred with a zebra, with the result known as a zonkey. • A horse’s eyes and teeth take up a lot of space in its head! The male’s 40 teeth take up more space than its brain. The horse also has the biggest eyes of any land mammal, about nine times larger than a human eye. Because of the eye’s location on the side of the head, a horse is able to see nearly 360 degrees at one time. • A horse’s height is measured in “hands,” a measurement of 4”. In ancient Egypt, this was considered to be the breadth of a man’s hand, the average width across the knuckles. The horse is measured from the ground to the top of the highest point of its skeleton, known as the withers.

* To keep the kids’ word skills fresh over the summer, we are playing sight word bingo practically every day now. It was really easy to make and laminate bingo cards. And I use the flash cards we got from school to “call” the words. Bingo is a win-win! -- JoAnn * “In my house, we love straws. Because we’re into recycling, we make sure to get the most out of each one. I keep a small jar at the sink, where we rinse straws before setting them in the jar to dry. Reuse at will.” -- F.O. in Pennsylvania * “Is there too much food left at the end of the party? When throwing a potluck, make sure you remind your guest to bring some take-home containers. Have them fix a few containers of “seconds” and store them in a big cooler by the front door. Hang a few take-out bags on the doorknob, and your pals won’t forget to take their goodies home!” -- M.W. in Florida * Kids clamoring about whose turn it is? No fear. You’ve got the solution in your desk drawer. Simply write each child’s name on a self-stick note, and stack them. The kid on top takes the first turn, and then peels his or her name off and moves it to the bottom. Easy peasy.

* If you’ve ever gone to a shoe store and had your foot measured to determine length, width and arch length, you might be interested to learn that the gadget used to make such measurements is called a Brannock device. Charles F. Brannock, the son of a shoe industry entrepreneur, patented his first prototype in 1926, and his invention is still the industry standard. Some early models are even featured in the Smithsonian Institution. * In India of long ago, it was considered ideal for a man to be three times the age of his wife. * Those who study such things say that the younger you are, the longer your baths tend to be.

STEAMBOATS (continued): • In 1802, at the urging of Robert Livingston, U.S. minister to France, Fulton turned his attention to steamboats. After two steamboat trials in France, one a failure and one a success, Fulton returned to America in 1806 and proceeded to build his famed steamboat the Clermont that successfully plied the Hudson River in New York. The Clermont’s first significant trip was from New York to Albany, a distance of approximately 150 miles. The Clermont left New York on August 17, 1807, and completed the voyage in 30 hours, including an overnight stop.

3rd Quarter 2012

"Like other people Weekyou, 34 enjoy reading Tidbits. August 19 -25 Just Page 8imagine how placing an ad about your business will gain visibility by so many!"

• The first voyage by the Clermont was met by the public with suspicion. Many referred to the boat as “Fulton’s Folly” due to its unusually long length and the smoke and fire associated with the vessel’s newfangled steam engine. Many thought it would blow up or sink on its first voyage; they were wrong! In fact, because Fulton wisely paid attention to passenger comfort, the Clermont became a very profitable vessel for transporting passengers to destinations on the Hudson River. Fulton subsequently formed and led a company offering services on six major rivers and the Chesapeake Bay.

A duck walks into a store and asks the manager if he sells grapes. The manager says no, so the duck leaves. The next day the duck goes back to the store and asks the manager if he sells grapes. The manager says, "NO, we don't sell grapes," so the duck leaves the store. The next day the duck goes back to the same store and asks the manager if he sells grapes. The manager is furious now and says, "NO, WE DO NOT SELL GRAPES! IF YOU COME BACK AND ASK IF WE SELL GRAPES AGAIN, I'LL GLUE YOUR BEAK TO THE FLOOR!" The next day the duck goes back to the same store and says to the manager, "Excuse me, do you sell glue at this store?" The manager says, "No, we don't sell glue." The duck replies, "That's good. Do you sell grapes?"

The above joke is dedicated to my friend, Adam, who inspires me to laugh!

• Following Fulton’s success, steamboats became a prime transporter of passengers and goods across the country. For example, in the steamboat port of New Orleans, 20 steamboat arrivals in 1814 increased to a whopping 1,200 arrivals by 1834.

• The steamboat era in the United States continued until the 1870s, when railroads started supplanting the steamboat as the preferred transporter of passengers and goods.

Senior News Line By Matilda Charles

AARP RealPad Tablet

--Many of us have hesitated to go online because we don’t want to deal with a large desktop computer or even a laptop that can weigh several pounds. Researchers at Michigan State University have listened, and they’ve conducted a study that identifies just what would make it easier for us to go online. The answer: tablets. Midway between the size of a full laptop and a cellphone, tablets don’t need a mouse, something that has held back many of us as we’ve struggled to get the little cursor in the right place, especially if we lack dexterity or arm control. With a simpler interface and a touch screen, we can be online in no time with a tablet. One thing the study revealed is that when family suggests a certain tablet and makes sure we have the opportunity to see how others use one, we gain confidence in our own ability. If we don’t have family to recommend a tablet, we have something almost as good: AARP. It designed a tablet called RealPad, with a visually helpful interface, plenty of storage and an internal camera. The bonus: You can reach free 24/7 help. If you want to know a little more about tablets in general, go online to www. dummies.com and put “seniors buy tablet” in the search box. If you want to know more about AARP’s RealPad, go online to www.aarprealpad.org, or call 1-866-716-9881. It costs $149, and you’ll need access to Wi-Fi. Just think of the things we can do online: read the news, send photos to friends, stay connected, do our own research, borrow library books, listen to music and so much more.

NOTEWORTHY INVENTORS:

FRY AND SILVER

Where would we be without the Post-It-Note? Although it feels like this little convenience has been around forever, the public has only been using Post-It’s since 1980. Follow along and learn about the gentlemen whose research brought us one of the world’s most popular office supplies. • Dr. Spencer Silver was a scientist at the 3M Company, assigned to the duty of developing new adhesives. In the midst of his research, he discovered an adhesive that stuck lightly to surfaces but could easily be peeled off.

• Fellow researcher Arthur Fry worked in the product development division at 3M, and in 1974, happened to attend a seminar conducted by Silver. During the presentation, Silver mentioned that six years earlier, he had developed a unique adhesive that would adhere to objects with a temporary bond. Silver had not yet come up with a viable use for the invention. • Fry was a devoted member of his church choir, attending practice every Wednesday evening. He used small scraps of paper to mark the hymns the group would sing for the week’s upcoming service, as well as to make notes about the music. But by the time Sunday rolled around, the bookmarks had moved around on the page or fallen out completely. • Shortly after Silver’s seminar, as Fry fumbled with the small pieces of paper in his hymnal, he was struck with the idea of using Silver’s not-yet-utilized adhesive to make a better bookmark. The next day, he sought out Silver and requested a sample, and began a series of experiments. He smeared one edge of the paper so that the part sticking out of the book wasn’t gummy. • Teaming up with Silver, the pair set to work developing a new product. It took nearly two years to iron out the technical difficulties. Fry experimented by using the sticky note to pen notes to his supervisor and co-workers to demonstrate its usefulness. In Fry’s words, “I thought, what we have here isn’t just a bookmark. It’s a whole new way to communicate.” • The invention hit the test market in 1977 under the name of Press ‘n Peel, with disappointing results. But once dealers started handing out free samples, there was an immediate turnaround. The product hit the national market in 1980 with a new name, and the rest, as they say, is history. • How did Post-It’s become their distinctive yellow color? Coincidentally, when Fry first started his experiments, the lab only had yellow scrap paper on hand. • Today, the little sticky-notes are available in more than 150 countries around the world, with more than 4,000 different PostIt products available. A recent workplace study indicates that the average office worker receives 11 messages on a Post-In note every day. • On the humorous side, the name of Arthur Fry was mentioned in the 1997 movie Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion, after the two ditzy, under-achieving title characters claimed to have invented the Post-it-Note in the years since their high school graduation. A brainy classmate quickly corrected them as to the real inventor.

MORE FARM FACTS

Tidbits continues to stroll around Old MacDonald’s Farm, discovering more facts about the barnyard. • An adult sheep produces between 7 and 10 lbs. of wool a year. That’s about enough to make a man’s suit. One pound of wool can be spun into 20 miles of yarn. The amount of wool that a sheep produces will vary depending upon its breed, genetics, nutrition, and how often it is sheared. Typically, a sheep is sheared just once a year. Wool from one sheep is called a fleece, while the wool from many is referred to as a clip. • Although California, Colorado, and Wyoming are the top producers of wool in the U.S., their combined total still only accounts for less than 1% of the world’s wool production. China is the largest producer. • Sheep and cow intestines have long been used to manufacture the strings of tennis racquets. Sometimes called catgut, it is created by drying the fibers of the intestine’s serous membrane, which contains natural collagen that provides the elasticity needed for the strings. However, nylon is now the most popular material because its cost is much lower, and its elasticity is better because of multi-filament strings. • The turkey is the only poultry native to North America. Because domesticated turkeys have been bred to have large breasts for cooking purposes, they are top-heavy and unable to fly. However, wild turkeys can fly as fast as 55 mph and even roost in the treetops at night to avoid predators. Wild birds can also run up to a speed of 25 mph. The domestic bird will weigh about twice as much as the wild one. • Are you familiar with all the terms associated with turkeys? That flap of skin that hangs over a turkey’s beak is known as a snood. Brightly-colored fleshy bumps on a turkey’s head and throat are called caruncles. Both the snood and caruncle turn bright red when the bird becomes frightened or agitated. The wattle, that flap of skin under the turkey’s chin, also changes to bright scarlet on a male in the midst of mating season. Although we frequently hear male turkeys called “toms,” they are also referred to as “gobblers,” because of the distinctive noise they make to announce their presence to females. A baby turkey is known as a poult or a chick, and of course, the female is called a hen. • Speaking of gobbling, in addition to the familiar gobble, a male turkey can make more than 30 different vocal sounds, including purrs, yelps, and keekees, distinctive and unique enough to be recognized by his fellow males. A gobble can be heard a mile away. Female turkeys usually make a clicking noise. • Although there are more than 40 breeds of domesticated ducks, the most common is the white Pekin duck, brought to North America in the 1870s. Pekin chicks are born with bright yellow plumage and an orange bill and feet. A farmer can expect an adult Pekin to lay about 200 eggs per year over their lifespan of about 9 to 12 years. They are also the most popular duck consumed for its meat, comprising 95% of all duck meat eaten in the U.S.

A pig and a chicken were walking by a church where a large charity event was taking place. Swept up in the enthusiasm, the pig suggested to the chicken that they each make a contribution. “Great idea!” the chicken cried, “Let’s offer them ham and eggs!” “Not so fast,” said the pig, quite annoyed. “For you, that’s a contribution. For me, it’s a total commitment.”
