“The Homemade

by Kathy Wolfe From science to medicine to politics to music – Tidbits makes you aware of the events that occurred this week in history. • On November 29, 1947, the United Nations met to vote on a crucial issue, that of whether to partition the Britishcontrolled territory of Palestine into two states, one for Jews and one for Arabs. The area had been under British control since 1917. Needing a two-thirds majority for passage, the U.N. General Assembly passed the resolution with 72%, with all Arab nations voting against the creation of Israel. The day after the vote, violence erupted into what became the 1947-48 Civil War between Jews and Arabs. In May, 1948, the state of Israel was formed. • The world lost a famous daredevil on November 30, 2007, with the passing of motorcyclist Evel Knievel. The Butte, Montana native suffered more than 430 broken bones over the course of his career. His record of jumping 19 cars on his cycle lasted for 27 years, his record of jumping over stacked cars endured for 35 years, and his jump over 14 Greyhound buses was on the books for 24 years.

• On the first day of December in 1959, representatives from 12 countries signed the Antarctica Treaty, an agreement that banned any military activity and weapon testing on that frozen continent. The pact decreed that all personnel and equipment may only be for scientific research or other peaceful purposes. Prior to that, several nations, including Great Britain, Australia, Chile, and Norway, had laid claim to parts of Antarctica. • “I Want to Hold Your Hand” was released by the Beatles on December 1, 1963, quickly hitting the top of the charts in America and the U.K. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame lists the song as one of history’s 500 songs that shaped rock and roll. It’s also ranked as the 45th best song of all time. • The New York Municipal Airport opened on the waterfront of Flushing Bay in Queens on December 2, 1939. The site was originally an amusement park owned by the Steinway Pianos family, and became a private airfield in 1929. New York City shelled out $23 million to change the field into a modern airport. In 1953, the name was changed to LaGuardia Airport, honoring Fiorello LaGuardia, major of the city from 1934 to 1945, who had come up with the idea of the new facility. • The first Burger King opened its doors in Miami, Florida on December 4, 1954, first known as Insta-Burger King. They added The Whopper in 1957. More than 11 million folks eat at a Burger King somewhere in the world every day. With more than 13,000 locations in 79 countries, they are the world’s third largest hamburger chain. In case you’re counting calories, a Burger King cheeseburger has 360.

* On Dec. 10, 1901, the first Nobel Prizes are awarded in Stockholm, Sweden, as Alfred Nobel, the Swedish inventor of dynamite, had directed in his will. It is believed that he did so out of moral regret over the increasingly lethal uses of his inventions in war. * On Dec. 9, 1921, General Motors engineers discover that leaded gas reduces “knock” in auto engines, eliminating the pinging sounds. Ethyl alcohol also worked, and it was cheap -- however, anyone with an ordinary still could make it, which meant that GM could not patent it or profit from it. * On Dec. 7, 1941, hundreds of Japanese warplanes attack the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, killing more than 2,400 naval and military personnel. The U.S. declared war against Japan the following day. * On Dec. 12, 1980, American oil tycoon Armand Hammer pays $5 million at auction for a notebook containing writings by Leonardo da Vinci. In 1994, the book was sold to Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, for $30.8 million. Gates has since loaned the manuscript to a number of museums for public display. * On Dec. 8, 1993, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is signed into law by President Bill Clinton. NAFTA eliminated all tariffs and trade restrictions between the U.S., Canada and Mexico.

This week in 1964 Martin Luther King speaks to J. Edgar Hoover about his slander campaign.

(cont'd): • This week was an important one in the history of heart surgeries. On December 3, 1967, Dr. Christiaan Barnard performed the first human heart transplant in Cape Town, South Africa. Dr. Barnard removed the heart of a 25-year-old woman killed in an auto accident and placed it in the chest of 55-year-old Louis Washkansky, who was dying of heart damage. For 18 days, the transplanted heart functioned normally; however, the anti-rejection drugs Washkansky was given left him susceptible to illness. He perished from double pneumonia on December 21. Fifteen years later, during the same week, Dr. William DeVries implanted the first permanent artificial heart, designed by Dr. Robert Jarvik, in Seattle dentist Barney Clark. Mr. Clark survived 112 days with the device. • On December 5, 1945, five U.S. Navy torpedo bombers departed from the Ft. Lauderdale Naval Air Station for a threehour training mission over the Atlantic. The five aircraft carrying a total of 14 men were known as Flight 19 and were scheduled to fly east for 120 miles, north for 73 miles, then back another 120 miles to the base. Two hours into the flight, the squadron leader radioed that his compass had failed and that he did not know his position. The other planes reported similar malfunctions. A search and rescue plane carrying 13 men took off five hours after Flight 19. A massive air and sea search was launched to comb the area now known as the Bermuda Triangle, a stretch of sea from the southern U.S. coast across to Bermuda and down to Cuba and Santo Domingo. No trace of the six planes was ever found and 27 men were lost. The Navy’s final report of the incident listed the cause of the disappearances as “Reasons Unknown.” Knock-Knock! Who's there? Bee Eye. Bee Eye who? B-I-N-G-O, B-I-N-G-O, B-I-N-G-O, and BINGO is my name-o.......

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver

--* It was Russian-born composer Igor Stravinsky who made the following sage observation: “Silence will save me from being wrong (and foolish), but it will also deprive me of the possibility of being right.” * If you live in New Jersey, you pay eight times as much in real estate taxes as residents of Hawaii do. * Given the popularity of both Legos and Star Wars, you probably won’t be surprised to learn that the first licensed, themed Lego set was an X-Wing fighter, released in 1999.

* In the 1930s, during the Bolshevik Revolution, a Communist patrol in Siberia came across an isolated fundamentalist Russian Orthodox settlement. Christians were persecuted in the Soviet Union, and one of the soldiers shot and killed a man working in the village. This prompted the man’s brother, Karp Lykov, to flee into the forest with his wife and two young children. A sad story, perhaps, but nothing unusual -- until you find out that the Lykov family remained in complete isolation for 42 years. It wasn’t until 1978 that surveyors in a helicopter saw in a remote area a clearing that was obviously not of natural origin. Investigation revealed that Karp and his four children (his wife had died in 1961) were living in a crude log dwelling. They’d had no contact with the outside world since fleeing their village in 1936, and two of the children had never seen a human not related to them.

By DR. Jim coyle Words Can Open Our Ears Sometimes a few words can encourage you and shift your thoughts to a positive direction. Here are a few thoughts that I hope will help you in your journey.

• • • • • • • • • •

The best part of family is knowing that you are part of it. Growing is mature. Giving is maturing. A surrendered life is a changed life. Our earthly identity is passed on to us and our heavenly identity is given to us. An excuse is an escape from responsibility. Forbidden fruit creates many jams. If you don’t want to reap the fruits of sin, stay out of the devil’s orchard Don’t give up. Moses was once a basket case. Every core is surrounded with seeds. The greatest reward from a relationship is not what you get out of it but what you become through it

So much to see, shop, eat, and enjoy in Amana. Shop locally includes the Amana’s and all they have to offer!

Senior News Line

--Why do we retire when we do? The answer isn’t as simple as “I’ll be 65 on a certain date” or “That’s when I’ll have enough savings.” The answer to why we pick a time to retire is fairly complicated. The Stanford Center on Longevity teamed up with Fidelity Investments to debunk some of the myths about how we decide when to stop working. They based their research on responses from 12,000 participants age 55 and older, so it was no small study. Here are some of the results: Myth 1 -- We don’t retire until we have enough money. That makes sense, but half the participants said their retirement is tied to a specific date, not to the amount of money they’d saved. If necessary they would adjust their lifestyle to what money they did have. Myth 2 -- We want to spend time with our spouse. This might be true for men wanting to spend time with wives, but women would rather spend time with grandchildren. Myth 3 -- We’re struggling financially and regret having to be frugal. Again, not necessarily so. A whopping 82 percent are happy they retired when they did, and 85 percent consider it rewarding. Almost as many said that adapting to having less money is easier than they thought. One-third wished they’d started saving earlier. Myth 4 -- We have to keep working to survive. Over half of the participants said they liked working and felt valued. Myth 5 -- We’re taking advantage of retirement to travel and enjoy hobbies. For one-quarter of respondents, that’s true. The rest replied that they enjoy the free time to do whatever they want -- even if it was nothing. There’s something to be said for doing absolutely nothing, even if it’s on a retirement budget.

NOTEWORTHY INVENTORS:

CHARLES BRANNOCK

“If the shoe fits, wear it.” That phrase could have been the inspiration for Charles Brannock’s famous 1926 invention. Follow along and learn about the invention of the shoe-measuring device. • Charles Brannock was raised in the shoe business. In 1903, when he was three years old, his father Otis Brannock and Ernest Park founded the Park-Brannock Shoe Company in downtown Syracuse, New York. The company continually expanded, offering a wide selection of all shoes, handbags, hats, hose, and accessories. Charles worked as a salesman while attending Syracuse University. • Dissatisfied with the shoe size-sticks known as RITZ sticks, an industry standard, Brannock began tinkering with an improved foot-measuring device. While the sticks measured only the foot’s length, Brannock’s sketches and calculations represented an apparatus that would measure length, width, and distance from the heel to the ball of the foot to determine arch length. His prototype was built from an Erector set.

• The Brannock Device improved accuracy to about 96%. It began with a man’s size 1 measurement of 7 2/3 inches, with each additional size adding 1/3 inch. Each width was separated by 3/16 inch. The widths were divided into nine sizes, AAA, AA, A, B, C, D, E, EE, and EEE. There were also two knobs for adjusting the fit for the curve of the heel, along with a sliding bar for adjusting for thin feet and wide feet. The device remains much the same today, with very little change. • Brannock assembled the device right in the family shoe store, and its trials were conducted there, where it was used exclusively. Park-Brannock was the only store in town to measure feet so accurately. At age 25, Brannock obtained a patent, established the Brannock Device Company, and began sales of the apparatus to other shoe retailers. He then hired salesmen throughout the country. By 1929, the device was being sold internationally. • In 1933, a U.S. Navy captain was looking into why so many sailors had problems with their feet, and asked a shoe salesman for his advice. The salesman measured the sailors’ feet with a Brannock device, and informed the captain that the only problem was ill-fitting shoes. That captain wrote an article about this simple solution in the July, 1933 issue of United States Naval Institute Proceedings. Brannock seized the opportunity to expand his business by forwarding the article, first to other naval ships, then on to other branches of the military. By World War II, his device was in use by most of the armed forces. • Following the death of his father in 1962, Brannock added to his own manufacturing company work load by becoming CEO of Park-Brannock Shoes. He continued to come to the office of Brannock Devices on a daily basis well into his 80s. When his health began to fail, he thought about selling the business, but many prospective buyers wanted to change the device to a plastic material. To Brannock, this was a non-negotiable point, and he insisted that the devices be manufactured from steel. • Brannock passed away in 1993 at age 89. The company was purchased from his estate by Sal Leonardi, who has maintained the business just as Brannock would have wanted it.

NOW HERE’S A TIP By JoAnn Derson

* Candles will burn more evenly if you refrigerate them for a few hours before lighting. * “To make your drains fresh-smelling, shake a half-cup of baking soda into the drain. Then pour 2 cups of vinegar that you have warmed on the stove. It will froth and bubble. When it’s done, run the hot water and give it a little scrub.” -- R.C. in Idaho * Visit the dollar store for low-cost toys to use on car or airplane trips. You can get several busy toys and dole them out one at a time. Most parents will attest to what a lifesaver this can be. * “When planning to visit my hometown for the holidays, I set aside a few hours to take the kids to the park or a nice playground. Then I message all my old friends and classmates with kids (Facebook is great for this) a few weeks ahead of time and let them know when I will be there. It’s great to catch up while the kids play, and even if no one shows up, we still have a fun break.” -- F.L. in California

Stash one at the entry to your home, and you will have less dirt tracked across your floors. * “Keep knitting yarn in check with empty tissue boxes.

December has the distinction of being Bingo’s Birthday Month. Take a look to see what you may not know about one of the world’s favorite games. • The game of Bingo has its origins in Italy, clear back in 1530, when a game called Lo Guioco del Lotto D’Italia, which resembles present-day Bingo was played. This early lottery-type game is still played every Saturday in Italy. The game spread to France in the 1770s and Germany in the 1800s. • Bingo came to North America in 1929, and was originally called Beano because the squares on the playing card were covered with beans. Players used pieces of cardboard or paper with a grid of numbered squares. It was first played at an Atlanta, Georgia carnival. Numbered disks were drawn from a cigar box and beans were placed on the appropriate square.

• About that time, a New York toy salesman named Edwin Lowe was playing and when a player mistakenly yelled “Bingo!” instead of “Beano!” he had a brainstorm. Lowe hired a math professor from Columbia University to help him expand the game by increasing the number of combinations on a card. The professor came up with 6,000 different cards. Lowe changed the name to Bingo and launched his creation. The cigar box was replaced with a wire mesh cage with a handle that twirled the balls inside. • In the early 1930s, a Pennsylvania Catholic priest thought that Bingo might be a good way to raise funds for the church, and that practice began. By 1934, about 10,000 Bingo games were being played weekly across the country. • The most common Bingo cards have 25 squares in a five row by five column configuration. The squares contain numbers from 1 to 75, with the center square a “Free” space, considered automatically filled. The letters of the word BINGO head up each of the five columns. The “B” column contains numbers from 1 to 15, “I” has 16 to 30, “N” has 31 to 45, and the numbers 61 to 75 are listed in the “O” column. • There are several ways to achieve a Bingo. The most common is, of course, to fill a line vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. Also popular is “Four Corners,” which requires a player to cover the game card’s four corners. The “Roving L” pattern requires the entire “B” column to be covered along with the top or bottom row, or the entire “O” column and the top or bottom row, forming an “L.” The Cross pattern forms a center cross on the card. And, of course, covering all the squares on a card is called a “blackout.” • The “bubble” refers to the minimum number of balls necessary to complete a Bingo pattern, the earliest point a player could have a valid Bingo. If a player achieves a “Hard-Way Bingo,” the bingo is a straight line without using the Free space in the middle. • What about when a player calls out “Bingo!” but is actually mistaken? There are several names given to this blunder – “falsie,” “just practicing,” “social error,” “Deb” or “bongo.” • It’s estimated that people spend more than $90 million dollars each week playing bingo in North America alone.

Tidbits is Bringing You Some Bingo Humor Full Card

2 old men are playing Bingo in the church, John and Tom. John keeps looking over Tom's shoulder saying: "you've got that number, mark it off, you've got that number mark it off." After doing this for quite some time Tom gets annoyed and says: "why don't you do your own card?" Whereupon John answers: "I can't it's full!"

Always a winner

Betty and Hilda, two friends, went together to play the slot machines at their local Bingo Hall. Each agreed that when her allotted money was gone, she would go to the front of the Bingo Hall and sit on the bench to wait for her friend. Betty quickly lost all of her money and went to sit on the bench. She waited and waited and waited and waited. After what seemed an eternity, she saw Hilda coming toward her carrying a huge sack of coins. "Hey, Betty," said Hilda, "how'd you do?" "Well, Hilda", said Betty, "you see me here on this bench- what do you think? It looks like you hit it big, though." "Oh yeah," said Betty, "did I find a good machine! It's way in the back. I'll show it to you - you can't lose! EVERY TIME YOU PUT IN A DOLLAR FOUR QUARTERS COME OUT!!!"

New-Comers and Bingo

It was a New-Comers Only Night in the Bingo Hall. The night had been pretty boring, not one single person had a BINGO all night. The last game was up for grabs, with a huge bingo prize of $3,500.00 in the pot. The game drags on and on, and nearly every new-comer in the house had to be on for the big blackout. Finally, G-47 was called, but still no shouts of “Bingo!” were heard. The frustrated caller finally gets up and throws the Bingo Machine off the stage. All the players were shocked and the caller says: "I've just called every darn one of these 75 balls out of this machine and nobody has a Bingo? Just what number are you ladies waiting for?" All together, 412 new-comers shouted: "FREE SPACE!" I Gave Up My Husband Bingo Once Said If I Don't It Was The Give Up Worst Five Bingo He's Minutes Of Leaving. My Life God, I'll Miss --Deb G. Him....

The 10 commandments of Bingo

1. Thou shall not sit in thy neighbors lucky seat. 2. Thou shall not stare at thy neighbors card. 3. Thou shall not take the Callers name in vain. 4. Thou shall not call false "Bingo". 5. Thou shall not wish bad luck on thy neighbor. 6. Thou shall not threaten to kill the "Caller". 7. Thou shall not steal thy husband's money for Bingo. 8. Thou shall not brag about how much thou hast won. 9. Thou shall not whine about how much thou hast lost. 10. Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's winnings.
