One sneeze and that rat tail on top is gone! TIDBITS® SNEEZES AT
PEPPER
www.SteveEmig.com
by Janet Spencer It’s called the King of Spices for good reason. For centuries it served as the cornerstone for various economies and it inspired trade, conquest, and exploration in search of better trade routes and new supplies. It’s the world’s most traded spice, accounting for 20% of the entire spice trade. Come along with Tidbits as we discover that pepper is nothing to sneeze at! • The word pepper originated with the Sanskrit word ‘pippali.’ It went into the Latin language as ‘piper’ and then into German as ‘pfeffer.’ The word pepper was used in a figurative sense to mean ‘spirit’ or ‘energy’ as far back as the 1840s. Sometime in the early 20th century, it was shortened to ‘pep.’ • Pepper is one of the oldest and most important spices in human history. Pepper was the first spice to make its way into Northern Europe as the Roman Empire spread. Back in the days when salting was the only method of preserving meat, pepper was valued because it gave food added ‘pep.’ • Historians discount the myth that pepper was popular because it disguised the taste of rotten meat, saying that nothing can disguise the taste of rotten meat. Now you can buy a year’s supply of pepper for a few dollars, but it used to cost an ounce of gold to buy an ounce of pepper. (cont’d next page)

PIPERINE
• The chemical in pepper called piperine (pronounced PIE-pur-een) is what gives pepper its bite. Each peppercorn is made up of about five to seven percent piperine. It’s an irritant and when it comes in contact with delicate nasal passages, it causes a sneeze to clean it out. Piperine stimulates mucous membranes and it is also a diaphoretic, meaning it causes perspiration. Therefore, if you have a cold and eat a good peppery soup, it may help your congestion clear up.

• Studies have shown that pepper stimulates the digestive tract, increases the appetite, and aids digestion. • Pepper starts losing its flavor as soon as it’s ground, becoming completely flat in taste as the volatile oils evaporate. Ground pepper should be kept in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator to preserve its spiciness. Whole peppercorns, on the other hand, will keep their flavor forever. • Pepper should not be added before cooking because it reacts to heat and turns bitter. Instead, sprinkle it on as a garnish after the cooking is over. (This is why waiters offer to pepper your food after the meal has arrived at your table.) • Ground pepper will not dissolve in water, but when dissolved in alcohol, it quadruples in pepper power. (continued next page) Do you like to have fun? Many people have changed the lids to the salt and pepper shaker. Oh what a laugh. But what if the dispensers are glass? Make sure they are full up to the cap area that is not visible from the glass portion. Then place something like wax paper at the top of the salt or pepper. Then place some of the other seasoning on top, such as pepper on top of the wax paper that is over the salt. Now this could get even the rocket scientist scratching their heads.

* On Sept. 30, 1955, actor James Dean is killed in California when his Porsche hits a sedan. Rumor has it that Dean’s car was cursed. After the accident, the car rolled off the back of a truck and crushed the legs of a mechanic. When the parts were sold, the engine, transmission and tires were all transplanted into cars that were subsequently involved in deadly crashes. * On Sept. 28, 1960, at Boston’s Fenway Park, Red Sox star Ted Williams homers in the final at-bat of his 21-year career. After being booed by Red Sox fans early in his career, Williams swore never to tip his cap to the Boston fans. He never did. * On Oct. 4, 1970, singer Janis Joplin dies of an accidental heroin overdose at age 27. Joplin, who had a No. 1 hit with “Piece of My Heart,” was discovered in her Los Angeles hotel room after failing to show for a recording session. * On Sept. 29, 1982, cyanide-laced Tylenol kills six people in Chicago, leading to a nationwide recall. The culprit was never caught, but the mass murder led to new tamper-proof medicine containers. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

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. * It was Che Guevara -- physician, author, revolutionary, guerrilla leader and diplomat -- who made the following sage observation: “Silence is argument carried out by other means.” * If you’ve ever awakened from a dream feeling especially calm and content, you’ve experienced euneirophrenia. * If you’re in the state of Washington and decide to paint polka dots on an American flag, you should be aware that you’re breaking the law. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
• Eddie Collins was an infielder for the Chicago White Sox in the early 1900s. He had a habit of sticking a piece of gum on the button on the top of his cap when he went to bat. If he got two strikes, he would take the gum off the cap and chew on it vigorously for a few minutes for good luck. But one day teammate Ted Lyons secretly sprinkled pepper on the gum just before Eddie went to bat. When Eddie got two strikes, he started chewing. He spat— and then struck out.
PEPPER AS MEDICINE
• Pepper decoctions are widely used in traditional Indian medicine and as a home remedy for relief from sore throat, throat congestion, and coughs. Piperine has some antimicrobial properties, but at the concentrations present when pepper is used as a spice, the effect is small. Piperine also enhances energy metabolism in the body and has been shown to have antioxidant and anticarcinogenic properties. It has been shown that piperine can dramatically increase absorption of various nutrients, but when taken in large amounts it also has an irritating effect upon the intestines. • Some people believe pepper can help cure vitiligo, which is a skin disease that causes some areas of skin to lose its normal pigmentation, turning it white in patches. (Michael Jackson suffered from this affliction.) According to researchers in London, piperine can stimulate the skin to produce pigment. Topical treatment of piperine combined with ultra violet light therapy is much better than the other treatments for vitiligo. • Piperine is a natural insecticide and can be used in the garden. Mix a teaspoon full of ground pepper with a quart of warm water and spray. • The volatile oils from black peppercorns are used in the manufacture of perfume in order to provide a warm and earthy odor.

Don’t Give Up Your Dream, Revise Your Plan
Have you ever had the wind blown out of your sails in regards to your career or your calling? Sometimes we need to step back and approach things differently. General S. Patton Jr said “Successful generals make plans to fit the circumstances, but do not try to create circumstances to fit plans.” When we are so focused and locked onto a clear plan to reach our potential and destination, we can close the door for other opportunities. Our inflexibility can cause us to stick to “the plan” no matter what and derail us from the end result. Sometimes it is best and wiser to explore other options to get to the finish line. Don’t give up on your dream, revise your plan. “The question that faces the strategic decision maker is not what his/ her organization should do tomorrow. It is: What do we have to do today to be ready for an uncertain tomorrow?” (Peter Ducker) There are certain things we can do that can help us face the challenges and uncertainties of tomorrow; 1) Put your faith in God. King David wrote, “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord.” There is an anchored Divine Peace when we let God be in charge. 2) Learn to be flexible. Flexibility opens up windows that appear to be closed. 3) Learn to adapt. “The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.” Alan W.

Senior News Line By Matilda Charles
Surviving Flu Season
--The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has a timely message for seniors: The use of flu antiviral medications cuts the length of hospital stays for those who are hospitalized with the flu, and reduces the risk of needing care after discharge. That’s important information. The last thing we seniors need this winter is to come down with the flu. It hits us harder than nearly any other age group, with 80 percent to 90 percent of flu-related deaths being in people age 65 and older. The study cited by the CDC says that the earlier the antiviral medications are started, the better they work. The key is seeing your doctor right away if you think you have the flu, because the medications are by prescription only -- not something you can get over the counter. Antiviral drugs can be taken as liquid, pills, an inhaled powder or intravenously. Seeing a doctor within two days of getting sick and starting the medication within four days substantially reduced the length of illness or hospital stay, the study indicated. Even those who started the medication more than two days later saw some benefit, although not as much. Those who were hospitalized and released were 25 percent to 60 percent less likely to need extended care. The CDC says even with antiviral medications, it’s still important to get our annual flu shots. Wash your hands frequently with soap and water, or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Don’t touch your eyes, nose or mouth. And stay away from those who are sick. More tips: Carry a packet of sanitizer wipes and use them everywhere -grocery cart handles, library book covers, door handles, etc. Eat healthy food, drink plenty of water and get enough sleep.

NOTEWORTHY INVENTIONS
GEORGE
• George’s hobby was photography. He was going on vacation and he wanted to take pictures. The problem was that it was the 1880s, the camera weighed 30 pounds, and it took hours to produce a single photo. George decided to find a better way. • It took him three years to invent a better way. First he invented a dry glass plate instead of the wet glass plate; this simplified the process. Next he invented a way to put the emulsion on paper instead of glass. This was a miraculous improvement, but professional photographers wouldn’t use it because you could see the grain of the paper through the photo, and glass was still superior. • So George began to market it to the amateur photographer. In 1888 his camera cost $25 at a time when a new suit cost $15, so sales were slow. Then he discovered cellulose.

Answer for Tidbits Word Power Puzzle below:
• With cellulose film, the quality was sharp, the camera was small, and the price was cheap. He began selling cameras that were pre-loaded with 100 negatives. People would take 100 photos and then return the entire camera to the company. The company would develop the negatives, print them out, re-load the camera with 100 more negatives, and return the entire package to the customer.

• By 1896 he’d sold around 100,000 cameras. However, in 1900 he introduced a camera priced at $1 which was so simple even a child could take pictures. It was a sensation. • George decided the name of his company had to be short, simple to spell, easy to pronounce, and impossible to confuse with anything else. He came up with a nonsense name that fits all these qualifications. What’s the company called? (Extra credit for knowing George’s last name and bonus points for knowing the name of the $1 camera.) Answer: Kodak, George Eastman, Brownie. NOTEWORTHY INVENTIONS
GORO YOSHIDA
By Contributing Organizations
Jim Hanson & Dick Hogan on Cedar Rapids’ only live and local all request 50’s and 60’s radio show
Happiness is laughing so hard your face hurts !!
• In 1932 Germany released a new camera called the Leica. Billed as the best camera on earth, it caused a sensation in Japan. However, it sold for 420 yen at a time when 70 yen per month was considered high pay.
• So he went into business with the intention of inventing an affordable camera. By 1934 he had a prototype. Yoshida named the camera and the company Kwanon, after the Buddhist goddess of mercy. He made three functioning prototypes, and then sold the company. The new owners offered the cameras for sale in 1935 at half the price of a Leica. • The name of the company was simplified in spelling when the camera was released to an English-speaking world. It’s pronounced almost the same, but the English pronunciation of the word means ‘a code of laws’ or ‘a set of fundamental principles.’ • Though he had long since left the company, by the time Goro Yoshida died in 1993 at the age of 93, the company he founded had become a multinational corporation that specializes in optical equipment, copiers, and computer printers. What’s it called? Answer: Canon.
In the last few articles on Pheasants Forever activity in Linn County we have closed by saying - Why Join Pheasants Forever—why Not, Why Not support an organization that has supported youth actives like hunter safety programs, tree planting projects, outdoor family fun days, and projects like that at Camp courageous of Iowa to create a special place for those with disabilities to be out and enjoy viewing birds, flowers and the out of doors. Why Not support an organization that has supported an organization that has partnered with the DNR, Linn County Conservation Board, Indian Creek Watershed collision, Indian Creek Nature center, Linn County Road side Commission, and Whitetails Unlimited to provide more habitat, events projects, and general fun in the out of doors. Why Not support an organization that has supported an organization that has helped to provided more outdoor public recreational areas in Linn and surrounding counties, by land acquisitions.
• At the time, a man named Goro Yoshida had a job repairing motion picture cameras and projectors in Tokyo. He often traveled to China to buy parts he needed. One day a trader in Shanghai asked him, “Why do you come to China for camera parts? Your country builds battleships and airplanes; why can’t you build cameras?” • Intrigued, Yoshida disassembled a Leica camera, examining it carefully. He found it was made of ordinary materials, and he couldn’t understand why something made of brass, aluminum, and rubber should be so expensive. It made him angry.
The idea of Go Figure is to arrive at the figures given at the bottom and right-hand columns of the diagram by following the arithmetic signs in the order they are given (that is, from left to right and top to bottom). Use only the numbers below the diagram to complete its blank squares and use each of the nine numbers only once.
I try not to laugh at my own jokes. But we all know how hilarious I am.
Why Not support an organization that has supported an organization that has shown its support to those in our community, who have served our country to provide a safe place to live, those who put their lives on the line daily for our safety, or those who are trained to save our lives in emergencies, by our Annual Heroes hunt Why Not support an organization that has supported an organization that has supported projects like the Airport buffer strips project to help protect our water quality, or help the land owners by providing expert assistance in land management practices.

ALCATRAZ
• “Alcatraz” is the Portuguese word for pelican; it comes from the word meaning the bucket of a waterwheel.
ESCAPE FROM ALCATRAZ
• The island of Alcatraz off the coast of California near San Francisco was first used as a military fortress beginning in the 1850s. Then it was a military prison for years before becoming a federal penitentiary in 1934. The prison was closed in 1963 because it had become too expensive to operate. Now it’s a tourist destination. • Over the years, 36 prisoners were involved in escape attempts. Seven of those were shot and killed; two drowned; 22 were re-captured; and five remain unaccounted for but are presumed to have drowned. One of the escape attempts served as inspiration for the 1979 movie “Escape from Alcatraz.” • Guards on Alcatraz Island allegedly told prisoners that the island was surrounded by sharks who had had their right fins removed so that they could do nothing but swim in circles around the island. This was thought to deter prisoners from breaking out and swimming to the mainland. In truth, although there are sharks swimming in the waters off Alcatraz, they are not the maneating variety, even with both fins.

FAST FACT
• During the years Alcatraz was used as a federal prison, the average length of stay for an inmate was five years.
Saving a Life from a potential catastrophe EVERY 10 MINUTES
FAMOUS INMATES
• A total of 1,545 men served time on Alcatraz, the most famous of which was Al Capone, who was incarcerated there for four and a half years. Capone was transferred to Alcatraz from the penitentiary in Atlanta, Georgia because his ‘family’ members moved into a hotel next to the prison and communicated with him constantly, allowing him to continue to run his crime organization in Chicago. On Alcatraz he was cut off from this contact. Capone behaved so well at Alcatraz that he was allowed to play the banjo in the inmate band, called the Rock Islanders. • Robert Stroud was convicted in 1909 of having murdered a bartender when he was 18 years old. He was sent to Leavenworth, where he proved to be a difficult and troublesome prisoner. He killed a guard and was sentenced to death, which was commuted to life without parole. • At Leavenworth he rescued a small injured bird which sparked a lifelong love of birds, especially canaries. He raised them, wrote about them, and corresponded with experts. But when prison officials discovered that some of the equipment he ordered supposedly for his birds was instead being used to build an illegal moonshine still, he was transferred to Alcatraz. He spent the next 17 years there before being transferred to a prison in Missouri, where he died in 1963. Although he was never allowed to keep birds while imprisoned at Alcatraz, he still became known as the Birdman of Alcatraz. • Robert Stroud was denied permission to see the 1962 movie starring Burt Lancaster that was based on his life.
