• Water will stay 9 days in the atmosphere; 2 weeks in rivers; 10 years in the largest lakes; 3,000 years in the ocean; up to 10,000 years in deep groundwater; and 10,000 years in the polar icecap. • Water on Earth acts like water in a pan: turn the stove burner on under a pan that’s dry, and the pan will scorch and melt. Turn the burner on under a pan of water, and the water absorbs the heat and keeps the pan in good condition. Without water, our planet would be a scorching desert, unable to regulate the heat of the sun. • There is a total of 369 quintillion gallons of water on Earth. If all the water were split evenly among the residents of the Earth, we would each have about 85 billion gallons. • The amount of water on Earth has not changed since the beginning of time. It covers 3/4 of our planet. It’s the only material that passes through the three stages of liquid, solid, and gas within a range of temperatures that can sustain human life. It is also the only substance that becomes less dense when it freezes. Otherwise, there would be no life on Earth, because the oceans would freeze from the bottom up. (Continued next page)

• Water dissolves more chemicals than any other substance, including sulfuric acid. This is a leading factor in pollution, because water dissolves and carries contaminants. • The average faucet flows at a rate of 2 gallons per minute. At 1 drip per second, a faucet can leak 3,000 gallons per year. • There are approximately one million miles of water pipeline and aqueducts in the U.S. and Canada, enough to circle Earth 40 times. • If you poured all of the water of all of the Earth’s oceans into a huge baggie, it would be one-third the size of the moon. • If all the water in the oceans was spread evenly over the surface of the Earth, it would be 6,000 feet deep everywhere. • If all the groundwater in the world were pumped to the surface, it would cover the Earth to a depth of 100 feet. • If all the water in the atmosphere fell at once as rain, the Earth would be submerged to a depth of only one inch. • There is 30 times more water underground than in all the world’s rivers and lakes. • 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered by water, and about 65% of the human body is water. • Blood is exactly the same salinity as the ocean. • Blood is 92% water, and bones are 31% water. Tooth enamel, the hardest substance in the human body, is only 2% water. • The human brain weighs about 3 lbs., but if all the water were squeezed out of it, it would weigh only 10 oz. • Baby’s bodies contain a higher percent of water than grown-ups.

• Americans as a whole use more water per capita than any other country. • Every day, residents of New York City use over 1.5 billion gallons. Although New York and London are about the same size, New York uses about three times as much water. • California uses more water than any other state, but Alaska uses the most per capita. • Americans use an average of 200 gallons of water in the home daily. That includes 5 gallons for every flush; 3 gallons for brushing teeth if the water is running; 40 gallons for a bath; 10 gallons to wash dishes; 8 gallons to clean house; 30 gallons to wash clothes; 30 gallons for lawns and pools; and a mere 2 gallons for drinking and cooking. • If you include industrial and agricultural uses as well as home use, the average American uses 1,900 gallons of water per day. • 40% of water used in the home is flushed down the toilet. The average toilet is flushed eight times a day. • It takes 13,000 gallons of water to carry away 165 gallons of body waste per person each year. • People living in cities that charge a flat rate for water have been found to use twice as much water as people in cities that meter water use. In Tucson, Arizona, water usage per person dropped from 200 to 140 gallons a day when the price was raised significantly. • It takes 40 gallons to produce one egg; 80 gallons for an ear of corn; 150 gallons for a loaf of bread; 230 gallons for a gallon of whisky; 2,500 gallons for a pound of beef; and 100,000 gallons for a new car. • More than 700 chemicals have been found in drinking water, but most municipalities typically test their water for fewer than ten.

* On Aug. 28, 1877, Charles Stewart Rolls, co-founder (with Henry Royce) of the Rolls-Royce automobile company, is born in London. In 1900, Rolls reportedly was responsible for changing the national speed limit from 4 mph to 12 mph. * On Aug. 30, 1918, in Belfort, France, Colonel Arthur L. Conger plants a false operational order for an impending Allied attack in the wastebasket of a hotel where a German agent was on staff. As intended, the order was found and the Germans chose to withdraw from the area. * On Aug. 26, 1939, the first televised Major League baseball game is broadcast between the Cincinnati Reds and the Brooklyn Dodgers at Ebbets Field. There were only two stationary camera angles: down the third base line, and above home plate. * On Aug. 29, 1949, in Kazakhstan, the USSR successfully detonates its first atomic bomb. To measure the effects of the blast, the Soviets constructed buildings and bridges, and placed animals in cages nearby. The atomic explosion destroyed those structures and incinerated the animals.

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver
* It was noted 18th-century German scientist, philosopher and satirist Georg Christoph Lichtenberg who made the following sage observation: “It is almost impossible to carry the torch of truth through a crowd without singeing somebody’s beard.” * Famed comedic actor Charlie Chaplin was born in England, but at the age of 19 he came to the United States as a performer with the prestigious Fred Karno company. Interestingly, Stan Laurel, of Laurel and Hardy fame, emigrated to the U.S. at the same time, as part of the same company -- as Chaplin’s understudy. * In a recent survey of pet owners, nearly half of all respondents said that the best description of their relationship with their pet would be “soul mate.” (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
• Hoover Dam holds as much water as would flow through the Colorado River in two years. • Old Faithful Geyser in Yellowstone gushes 33 million gallons of water each day— enough water to provide for a city of 300,000 people. • Niagara Falls has eaten its way seven miles upstream since their formation 10,000 years ago. At this rate, they will disappear into Lake Erie in about 22,000 years. • The waterfall with the greatest flow used to be Guaira Falls in Brazil. At 1,750,000 cubic feet per second, it would fill the Capitol Dome in Washington, D.C. in 3/5 of a second. It was submerged by a dam in 1982. • 45-foot Khone Falls on the Mekong River on the border between Laos and Cambodia, is now the biggest waterfall by volume. It runs with twice the flow of the Niagara. • The Amazon River carries more water than any other river— more than the Mississippi, the Nile and the Yangtze rivers together.

• Ice cubes will freeze clearer if they start out as warm water, which prevents tiny air bubbles from freezing inside. • The Antarctic ice cap contains about 66% of the world’s fresh water. At its thickest point the ice cap is over 2.6 miles thick. • Each year, some 430 cubic miles of ice become icebergs, enough to fill the annual water needs of 5 billion people for a year. • If the Antarctic ice cap were melted at a uniform rate, it would fill the Mississippi River for more than 50,000 years, or all the rivers of the world for 750 years. • Arctic waters freeze at 30°f. instead of 32°f. because of their high salt content. A person who falls into water this cold will become unconscious after only two minutes. This is one of the reasons why so many people drowned when the Titanic sank.

* “Potty training can be stressful for both child and parent. We tried many things, but in the end, you have to wait for the child to want to train. One thing that helped keep our daughter motivated was a sticker chart. We bought all kinds of stickers, and whenever she used the potty, she would get to choose a sticker to put on the chart. We would remark on how many stickers she had and the variety, which made her feel successful!” -- D.R. in Iowa

I stuffed the cup with newspaper pieces and screwed the top back on. The newspaper absorbed the smell. It took about a week, but it’s back in use.” -- T.L. in Texas

Call Rick at 319-981-3335 or email sales@tidbitpapers.com A man goes to his doctor because he’s been feeling very ill for days. The doctor gives him several sets of pills. The doctor instructs; “Take the green pill with two big glasses of water when you get up. An hour later, take the white pill with another glass of water. Take the blue pill with a big glass of water after lunch. Mid afternoon, take the orange pill with plenty of water, and repeat that at dinner. Then, just before going to bed, take the red pill with several big glasses of water.” The man is alarmed at huge volume of medicine he has been given to take, and nervously asks, “What’s the diagnosis? What’s wrong with me?” The doctor says, “You’re dehydrated.”

By DR. Jim coyle TIME TO GET OFF THE BENCH Life is going by at a hectic pace. You were designed and created for something much more than making a living. The time is now for you to stand up. The poet William Arthur Ward said: “I will do more than belong-I will participate. I will do more than care-I will help. I will do more than believe-I will practice. I will do more than be fair-I will be kind. I will do more than forgive-I will forget. I will do more than dream-I will work. I will do more than teach-I will inspire. I will do more than learn-I will enrich. I will do more than give-I will serve. I will do more than live-I will grow. I will do more than suffer-I will triumph.” Believe in yourself, and have the faith to do what you are called to do. It’s time to get off the bench.

Answers on page 12 George went to visit his elderly cousin Darrel and while eating the breakfast of eggs and bacon prepared for him, he noticed a film-like substance on his plate. So he says, "Cus, are these plates clean?" Darrel replies, "Those plates are as clean as cold water can get them." That afternoon, while eating the hamburgers Darrel made for lunch, he noticed many little black specks around the edge of his plate so again he asked, "Are you sure these plates are clean?" Without looking up from his burger Darrel says, "I told you those dishes are as clean as cold water can get them." Later that day, they were on their way out to get dinner. As George was leaving the house, Darrel''s dog who was lying on the floor started to growl and would not let him pass. " Darrel, your dog won''t let me out." Without diverting his attention from the football game he was watching, Darrel shouted, "Coldwater, get out of the way!"

Proudly Presents
Senior News Line By Matilda Charles
Social Security Increase Unlikely
--It’s nearly a done deal: We likely won’t see an increase in Social Security benefits in 2016. So sayeth the gurus who know about these things. Part of their reasoning is the Consumer Price Index that was issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the year period ending in June, in which all expenditures rose only 0.1 percent. Broken down into the categories we seniors care about, there’s a different story: * All food: up 1.8 percent * Meats and eggs: up 3.3 percent (Ground beef rose 10.1 percent, and the cost of eggs went up 21.8 percent.) * Prescription drugs: up 3.3 percent * Shelter: up 3 percent What apparently balanced the numbers, allowing them to claim only a 0.1 percent overall increase, was energy: It fell 15 percent. That includes fuel oil, gas, firewood, electricity and everything else related to energy. (Did anyone tell the electric company about that? Or the gas supplier?) The AARP has gone to bat for us again, saying that seniors don’t spend the same way as others who also are included in the price index. We spend more on health care, for example. (The good news is that if the Cost of Living Adjustment doesn’t increase, neither will the $104.90 Part B Medicare premium.) For this year, Social Security checks rose 1.7 percent, and we thought that was low. In 2014, it was 1.5 percent. The year before it was 1.7, and in 2012 it was a whopping 3.6 percent. While it looks like we won’t get a COLA increase for 2016, keep your fingers crossed. The final numbers won’t be in until October. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

ROY PLUNKETT
• On April 6, 1938, chemist Dr. Roy Plunkett was experimenting with coolant gases used in refrigerators and air conditioners at the DuPont laboratories in New Jersey. From the freezer he removed a tank of experimental gas he’d been working with, called tetrafluoroethylene. He expected to find a container of very cold gas, but when he turned the valve to let some gas out, nothing happened. • He weighed the tank, which showed it should be full of gas. He checked the valve, but it worked fine. Perplexed, he cut the tank in half to find out what happened to the gas. He was surprised to see the gas had congealed into a solid, waxy substance. • Plunkett ran some tests. The new material was impervious to chemicals and heat; it did not absorb things and nothing absorbed it; it was colorless and odorless; and it had an extremely high melting point. • Plunkett had accidentally discovered what is popularly known as the slipperiest substance on Earth, equivalent to two wet ice cubes rubbing against each other in a warm room. The molecules of the substance are some of the largest molecules known.

• The fabric contains over 9 billion microscopic pores per square inch. Whereas the pores are about 20,000 times smaller than a drop of water, they are also 700 times bigger than a molecule of moisture vapor. Therefore, water droplets cannot get through the fabric, but gases and water vapor can easily escape. It was superior to any outerwear on the market. • Bill and Bob were granted a patent in 1976, the product line hit the market in 1989, and Bob was inducted into the Inventor’s Hall of Fame in 2006. The name of the fabric is based on Bill and Bob’s last name. What’s it called? Answer: Gore-Tex, named for Bill & Bob Gore.

• He took Teflon home with him, experimented with it in his basement after work, and established his own company. His son Bob joined him, and in 1969 they discovered that Teflon would stretch if it was heated and then pulled slowly. They wanted to stretch it into a fabric, but time after time – while heating it and pulling it slowly – they failed.
• Normally raincoats are made out of two layers: the outer layer is polyester or nylon, and the inner layer is polyurethane. Bill and Bob found that when sheets of this new Teflon fabric were inserted between the two layers, the raincoat was porous enough to breathe, but tight enough to be waterproof.

• Bill was one of the researchers working in the DuPont lab when Teflon was invented. He continued to experiment with it, inventing many uses. However, the DuPont Teflon team was disbanded in 1957. Bill begged his bosses to let him continue to work with Teflon, but was turned down.
• Finally in frustration, Bob heated it and then yanked it. That was the secret. Teflon, when heated and stretched quickly, expands to 1000% of its original size and forms fabric.

• Three years after Plunkett’s accidental discovery, the process of manufacturing the substance was patented. Four years after that, it began to be sold on the market, mostly for military applications at first. • Fifty years later Plunkett was inducted into the Inventor’s Hall of Fame. Today the product has hundreds of uses. It’s used on windshield wiper blades, it’s in fingernail polish, it forms a scratchresistant coating on eyeglasses, it covers cookware, it protects fabrics, and it covers lightbulbs to make them shatterproof. The list is nearly endless. What is it commonly known as? Answer: Teflon.

DOGS
• In a study done at the University of Pennsylvania, 11 of 39 coronary victims who did not have pets died within a year, compared to only 3 out of 53 patients who owned pets.
DOG NAMES
• French-speaking people who heard a dog howling named it ‘begle’ which is French for ‘open-throated’ or ‘bugling.’ That breed became the beagle. • ‘Schnauzer’ comes from the German word meaning ‘snorer.’ • An Airedale is a breed that originated in the dale of the Aire, a river in England. • Cocker spaniels were bred to flush woodcocks in Spain. • A German dogcatcher named Louis Doberman set out to develop a watchdog by crossing terriers and pinschers. • Terriers were bred to dig in the earth to snatch small animals from burrows. The Latin word for earth is ‘terra.’ • ‘Dachs’ means badger in German, and ‘hund’ means dog: dachshund. • Poodle comes from the German word ‘pudel’ meaning splashing in water.
IT’S A DOG’S LIFE
• A dog’s nose prints are as distinctive as our fingerprints and can be used for identification.

• When dogs wag their tails, it squeezes their anal scent glands and fans their signature smell all around. • Puppies don’t learn to wag their tails until they’re between 30 and 49 days old. • Free-roaming dogs spend up to three hours every day re-marking their scent posts.
I took an IQ test yesterday. It came back negative...
• All dog breeds are genetically compatible: Great Danes can mate with Chihuahuas; and any dog can breed with wolves or coyotes.
Saving a Life from a potential catastrophe EVERY 10 MINUTES
• Dogs roll in dead things to disguise their smell. A deer will sniff the wind and think, “I smell a dead skunk” instead of thinking, “I smell a canine on the prowl.” • Wolves bark a little and howl a lot. Dogs bark a lot and howl a little. Wolves and dogs both howl for the same reason: to get the entire pack together in communication and galvanize them for action. A howl means, “Where are you? Come join me! Let’s go do something!” Sometimes when people start singing, their dog mistakenly thinks they are howling in order to draw the pack together, and will then start howling along. • When wolves are teaching their pups to eat solid food, they will leave animal parts lying around the den: horns, bones, hooves. The pups chew and gnaw on these objects as their teeth are coming in. When humans leave their slippers or newspapers laying around, the pup assumes it’s for the same purpose, and will chew the object to bits— and then be completely bewildered when it’s punished for doing what comes naturally. • It’s been estimated that it costs about $6,000 to raise a medium-size dog to the age of 11. • There are about 400 pet cemeteries in the U.S. • In 1894, New York State enacted the first dog-licensing law in the nation. • In 80% of dog bites, victims are bitten by a family dog or the dog of a neighbor. Some 60% happen between July and September. Boys under 15 are the most frequent victims. • About 20 mail carriers are bitten by dogs during an average day in America. • The American Kennel Club recognizes 130 breeds and registers more than 1.2 million purebred puppies per year. • When dogs and humans sleep together, their sleep and dreaming cycles tend to coincide.

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.

A mathematician, an engineer, and a computer scientist are vacationing together. They are riding in a car, enjoying the countryside, when suddenly the engine stops working. The mathematician: "We came past a gas station a few minutes ago. Someone should go back and ask for help." The engineer: "I should have a look at the engine. Perhaps, I can fix it." The computer scientist: "Why don't we just open the doors, slam them shut, and see if everything works again?"
