THE RAINFOREST
by Janet Spencer As our thoughts start turning to spring, come along with Tidbits as we explore a place where there is no spring, no autumn, no winter— only perpetual summer: the jungle rainforest.
JUNGLE FACTS
• Why is the jungle so diverse? 30 million years ago, the area that is now the Amazon jungle entered a long dry period. The tropical rain forests growing there at the time were wiped out, and only isolated pockets of jungle surrounded by vast grasslands remained. Each pocket of jungle followed its own evolutionary course over thousands of years. • When the climate once again became warm and wet following the last ice age 10,000 years ago, the different types of jungle grew together again, with each forest contributing many different species of plant and animal. • As a result, the South American forests are the most diverse in the world. Whereas many temperate forests are composed largely of just a few species of tree, in the Amazon you may have to travel a mile or more to find two trees of the same species. • In any North American forest it is rare to find more than 15 species of tree in the entire ecosystem. In the Amazon, a fiveacre plot may contain between 100 and 250 different species. (Continued next page)

• In the northern deciduous forests of the temperate climates, every tree drops its leaves at the same time, triggered by the change of seasons. Thus, each year the forest floor receives a huge boon of nutritious new dead material all at one time. This stuff gradually turns into rich soil. • But in the tropical rainforest, no change of season occurs so no massive leaf drop ever happens. Tropical trees drop their leaves gradually over the entire year. The unending heat and moisture of the climate spur the growth of bacteria, insects, and fungi, which consume the material and cause it to decompose quickly, converting it into nutrient building blocks. • The process of decomposition which takes between one and seven years in North American forests (depending on climate) takes only six weeks in the Amazon. Nutrients are immediately used again by the many growing plants. The deep rich soil that accumulates in temperate forests never has a chance to collect in the Amazon. The forest floor in the Amazon is like a huge living stomach. • In temperate forests, it usually rains only sporadically, but in the Amazon, it rains daily. Millions of years of daily rainfall combined with constant heat leached the nutrients from the soil, leaving it high in aluminum and iron oxides which are responsible for the soil’s characteristic red color. The soil is highly acidic and unable to support much plant life. Without the constant fall of dead material from above, the dirt is worthless. • So the ecosystem of the rainforest is upside-down in comparison to other forests: the nutrients are stored not in the soil, but in the living canopy. When the forest is cut and burned, the only nutrients left are in the ashes. • After the trees are cut down in a tropical rainforest, nutrients in the soil disappear after only a few harvests of crops, and the soil is soon lost entirely to erosion, never to be replaced. Once the forest is cleared, it is extraordinarily difficult to reverse the damage. (Continued page 4)

1022 Court Ave, Marengo “I did this program two years ago and lost 28 pounds and have kept the weight off! Before the program, I had sinus infections on a regular basis. I even went to Mayo Clinic and had surgery, but it did not correct the problem. Since doing the program, NutriMost has improved my health drastically. This program detoxed my body and improved my vitamins and minerals. I’m more hydrated. Due to my improved health, I have not had one sinus infection in 2 years. My energy is better and I’m living life to the fullest. If you’re ready to experience these wonderful changes, give NutriMost a call!”

"Like you, other people enjoy reading Tidbits. Just imagine how placing an ad about your business will gain visibility by so many!" Answer for Tidbits Word Power Puzzle below:
• A forested landscape acts as a living reservoir by trapping rainfall and releasing it slowly. In the dense jungle, the canopy is so heavy that the water from a driving rainstorm may take 10 minutes to reach the ground. Rain is caught by leaves and trapped in hollows where it evaporates gradually. It’s sucked up by roots and it soaks into soil that acts like a sponge. Rain feeds underground springs. • But when the land is cleared, rainfall is no longer absorbed. There are no leaves and branches to protect the ground from the pounding rain. Water runs off immediately, taking the soil with it. Exposed to the sun, the ground becomes an unproductive hard-packed cement. The small amounts of nutrients in the soil are quickly leached away. • A 2.5 acre tract of healthy growing rainforest will lose an average of three pounds of soil through erosion annually. Cut the forest, however, and the same area can lose up to 34 tons of dirt in a year. • Half of the rain that falls comes from water evaporating from the forest below. With no forest, the land dries quickly and offers no moisture to be turned into more rain. When the forest is gone, the rain is gone too. Drought, erosion, and flooding result. • It’s been estimated that the Amazon produces half of all the oxygen generated by land plants on Earth. Without the climate-moderating effects of the forest, temperatures would rise. Rainfall would plummet. Loss of the Amazon could cause a change in the global environment.

* Here’s your springtime reminder: As you install your window screens to air out the house (or even if you keep them up yearround), double-check to make sure they are pet-secure. Cats love a windowsill, and they can fall through and out the window if screens are not secure. If you have a pup, you may want to give it the push test -- it should be able to withstand Fido’s nose jammed against it! * To preserve your manicure in the garden, wear gardening gloves. If you love the feel of dirt in your hands but don’t love dirty nails, simply rake your nails over a bar of soap before you dig in. The soap gets under there, keeping dirt out. Bonus, it’s easier to wash your hands afterward!

They hold together much better that way.” -- F.K. in Missouri * Add an eraser to your whiteboard marker by gluing a small pompom on the end with a drop of hot glue.

PREMIERE CHOCOLATIER GIFT & CANDY SHOPPE
* On March 22, 1765, to raise funds to pay off debts and defend the new American territories won from the French, the British government passes the Stamp Act. It levied a tax on all materials printed in the colonies, from newspapers and pamphlets to playing cards and even dice. * On March 25, 1911, the Triangle Shirtwaist Company factory in New York City burns down, killing 145 workers. Owners had refused to install sprinkler systems and take other safety measures in case they needed to burn down the shop to collect fire insurance, a not uncommon practice at the time. * On March 23, 1937, Craig Breedlove, the first person to reach land speeds of up to 600 mph in a jet-powered vehicle, is born. He designed a three-wheeled, rocket-shaped vehicle powered by a surplus military jet engine and dubbed it the Spirit of America. * On March 27, 1945, Nazi Germany launches its last V-2 long-range rockets, killing 162 civilians in England and Belgium. The V-2 could carry a 2,000-pound warhead and became the precursor of the ICBM of the postwar era. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

Amazing Animals
ANTS
• Ready to feel
• In terms of sheer numbers of individuals, ants are among the dominant species on earth.
• Ants, which evolved from wasps, are perhaps the most highly developed social insects. There are about 400 different species of ant in the U.S. alone, and about 15,000 species worldwide. • To find food, a typical harvester ant will go straight out from the nest for up to 50 feet, and then start wandering. When it finds food, instead of following the round-about trail back to the nest, it will head for home in a beeline, thus refuting speculation that all ants follow a scent trail home. If the soil in front of an ant is scraped away or covered, the ant will continue its direct course. However, if the ant is placed inside an enclosure from which it is unable to see surrounding landmarks, it will lose its way until the enclosure is removed. Furthermore, if the ant is picked up and transferred to a new location, it will re-orient itself without hesitation, unless it is put down outside the area in which the ants of that colony forage, in which case it will wander about, lost. • Ants may use large landmarks to find their way home, as well as the position of the sun. If an ant is entrapped in a box in the dark for an hour, when it is released it will strike out again in a direction different from the original direction by an angle equal to the number of degrees the sun has moved during the hour. • Some species of ants do leave a scent trail to mark the way back to the food. When a forager makes a discovery, it becomes excited and secretes an odorous substance from the abdomen as it returns to the nest. Other ants follow the trail to find the food. • One researcher was able to prove conclusively that ants will follow a scent trail to food. The scientist placed food near an anthill and covered the distance between with sheets of paper. After the first ant discovered the food and rushed back to the nest, he replaced the original paper with fresh sheets. When the ants swarmed out to get the food, they were unable to find it. • Another naturalist devised a test that proved that ants can measure, estimate, and communicate. He chopped a grasshopper into three parts: a small section, a medium section, and a large section. He then gave each section to a different ant scout from the same nest. All of the pieces were too big for a single ant to carry. Each ant measured its section with its antennae and then returned to the nest. Would each ant call out the same size crew? Would too many show up to do the work, or too few? The naturalist was surprised to see that 28 ants returned to fetch the small piece; 44 went for the medium piece; and 89 for the large piece. The second crew was twice as big as the first, just as the medium piece was twice as big as the small; and the large crew was twice as big as the medium crew to move a piece that was twice as big. • When ants find a puddle of fruit juices or a dollop of jelly, they will chew a leaf into a spongy mass and then place it in the middle of the food. When they return later, the leaf has absorbed the juices and the ants carry it home. • Queen ants can live for 20 years. Female worker ants can live as long as ten years. Male ants, however, live only a few weeks. They die immediately after mating. • One typical Maryland woodland was estimated to contain 1.3 million ants per acre. • Ant blood is colorless.

After two steamboat trials in one a success, Fulton France, one a failure and returned to America in 1806 and proceeded to build his famed steamboat the Clermont that successfully plied the Hudson River in New 10 AM – 5 PM York. The Clermont’s first significant trip Monday, Thursday & Friday M was from New York to Albany, a distance of or by appointment approximately 150 miles. The Clermont left New York on August 17, 1807, and completed the voyage in 30 hours, including an overnight stop.
• 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 Can a bird fly through the Rainforest? can River. Fulton to destinationsNo, onbut thetwo Hudson subsequently formed and led a company offering services on six major rivers and the Chesapeake Bay. • 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 steamboat as the Why should you not play the any games in the jungle? preferred Because transporter passengers of allofthe Cheetahs!! and goods.

TAKING DONATIONS - WE CAN PICKUP.
Have you ever done something that you didn’t want to do and became frustrated for doing it? Then you wake up the next day, week, month, or year and you are still doing the same thing. That is an unhealthy obligation. An obligation is something by which a person is bound or obliged to do something. An obligation arises out of a sense of duty. Obligations are important until they become unhealthy. If we can learn to change the perception of an unhealthy obligation and look at it as an opportunity, doors will be unlocked and windows will be opened. As a child I was forced to attend church and school as they both became daily and weekly obligations. I was rarely mentally present during the obligations and found myself locking onto exit strategies. The perception I had of church and school was negative and I felt confined and in jail. Once I changed my perception of an obligation to an opportunity my world opened up. What I once perceived as negative was turned into a positive and I began to use these obligations to fuel my opportunities. I am humbled to say I received a doctorate and can’t stop learning and was ordained in 1983 and am as hungry as ever for the things of God. I challenge you to turn your obligations into opportunities by changing your perception.

Senior News Line By Matilda Charles
--Another study of seniors ages 50-79 has concluded that we can live longer if we’re more active. This one comes with some fancy credentials: It was run by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The difference between this study and previous ones that showed that activity makes us live longer is that this study was monitored. Other studies used self-reported information about the level of activity. This time researchers used activity monitors worn on the body, so the information was certain to be correct. They then tracked those people for eight years. They learned that moving doesn’t have to involve weights and sweating at the gym. Easy activity -- even making the bed, mopping the floor and walking around the neighborhood -- all count as activity that can help us live longer. Here’s the bottom line: • If we’re fairly active, if we get up and move around for 30 minutes, we’ll live longer. This can be either light or moderate physical activity. Sweaty workouts are not required, but moderate-to-vigorous activity is especially beneficial. • If we get an average amount of activity and only move around for 10 minutes a day, we can improve our risk of mortality by one-third. (But, once we’re up and moving, why stop at 10 minutes? Wash one more window or walk one more wing of the mall during senior walking mornings, and we’ve just lowered our mortality risk.) • If we’re not at all active, if we let ourselves be extremely sedentary, we’re five times more likely to die. So our new mantra might be: Move, live longer -- gym membership not required. Consider what the result could be if we sign up for dance or swimming classes, take yoga or qigong, or volunteer to do a neighbor’s shopping once a week. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
“CAREGivers like Michelle are the foundation of our business,” said local owner Karen Huber, “These dedicated individuals live the Home Instead Senior Care organization’s brand message, To us, it’s personal®, by providing customized care that can help seniors age independently. CAREGivers share their hearts and provide the support that helps older adults remain in their homes longer than they otherwise could.” Here is an excerpt from the children of one of our clients that Michelle is helping:
“I’d like to share with you my observations about Michelle. She truly cares. The things that I have seen her do, and that I have heard of her doing, are the hallmark of someone who is more of a friend than simply a caretaker. We couldn’t be more pleased with having Michelle provide the care for Sarah’s parents. In addition to being truly caring, Michelle is very innovative in her approach to challenging situations. There have been times that we have wanted to throw up our hands in exasperation, but in each instance, Michelle came up with an idea that not only solved the problem, but made our parents feel like it was their idea. Her approach has always been to empower them, not merely do what was necessary. Michelle is the complete caregiver. She has taken it upon herself to shop, cook, clean, manage their mail, and arrange repairs to their home. There have been numerous times where we decided that something needed to be done, and discovered that Michelle had already taken care of it! Michelle has managed to make the difficult situation of caring from a distance not only vastly easier, but we have come to completely trust her judgement.”
Home Instead® CAREGivers provide a variety of services including companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, personal and Alzheimer’s care, incidental transportation, errands and shopping. Prior to being placed in a client’s home, CAREGivers are screened, trained, bonded and insured, and have completed criminal background checks. “Balancing the demands of families and careers while taking care of their senior loved ones can take its toll. Home Instead CAREGivers could serve as a respite to families and provide companionship and encouragement to local seniors. Having a CAREGiver help out once or twice a week is all that some need to be able to stay in their homes. By providing care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, we are able to meet the needs of our clients with the exceptional CAREGivers we have on staff.” - Karen Huber, Home Instead Owner

INVENTING THE DISHWASHER
• She patented her design in 1886 and her wealthy friends immediately starting ordering the Cochrane Dishwasher for their own luxurious kitchens. A Chicago machine firm began to manufacture them while Josephine managed the company and marketed the product. She later said that designing the dishwasher was far easier than marketing it.
• The home model did not sell well. Few homes had electricity. Water heaters were rare. Most municiple water systems offered only hard water which did not make soap suds. The price tag of $150 would be equivalent to about $4,500 today.

• She decided to invent one, setting up a workshop in her woodshed. Dishes fit into a rack; the rack fit into a wheel; the wheel fit inside a tub; the wheel turned while hot soapy water squirted up from the bottom of the tub. Shortly after she perfected the design, her husband died. She was left with little money and a lot of debt. She needed to turn her idea into a way to make a living.

• Josephine Cochrane was a wealthy woman who lived in Illinois. She gave a lot of dinner parties and was very proud of her china. She collected rare and expensive dishes. However, her servants weren’t particularly careful with the priceless dishes when they washed them after each party. Pieces were broken; pieces were cracked; pieces were chipped. Josephine took to washing the dishes herself by hand while wondering why there wasn’t a machine that would wash the dishes for her.

• Housewives often felt that soaking their hardworking hands by washing the dishes in hot soapy water was a relaxing way to end the day. Cochrane changed her sales pitch to point out that water in dishwashing machines was far hotter than human hands could stand and therefore resulted in germ-free dishes. • The strongest market for the dishwasher lay not in private homes, but in industries. Hotels, restaurants, boarding houses, and hospitals saw the advantage of being able to wash, scald, rinse, and dry up to 20 dozen dishes of all shapes and sizes in two minutes. • She got her big break when she not only exhibited her dishwasher at the Columbian Expo in 1892 in Chicago, but also sold her dishwashers to many of the restaurants and other establishments with vast kitchens catering to the large crowds coming to see the Expo. Against heavy competition from around the world, her dishwasher received the first prize for “the best mechanical construction for durability and adaptation to a particular line of work.” One of the concessionaires using her product sent her this glowing tribute: “Your machine washed without delay soiled dishes left by eight relays of a thousand soldiers each, completing each lot within 30 minutes.”

• Cochrane continued to improve the product, producing models with revolving washing systems, a centrifugal pump, and a hose for draining into the sink. She ignored the clergy who claimed the dishwasher was immoral because it denied women the labor to which God had called them. She ignored the outcry of the servants who claimed it would put them out of business. The company kept growing, pushed by Josephine Cochrane’s energy and ambition until her death at age 74 in 1913. • Late in her life she said, “If I knew all I know today I never would have had the courage to start.”
• The company was sold and eventually evolved into the Kitchenaid division of the Whirlpool Corporation. Still, dishwashers did not become commonplace in ordinary homes until the 1950s.

Jarod Norris Nominated for The Congress of Future Science and Technology Leaders in Boston, MA
WALKER, IOWA — Jarod Norris, a Senior at North Linn High School of Troy Mills is a Delegate of the Congress of Future Science and Technology Leaders in Lowell, MA on June 29th - July 1st, 2016. The Congress is an honors-only program for high school students who are passionate about science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM). The purpose of this event is to honor, inspire, motivate and direct the top students in the country who aspire to be scientists and technologists, to stay true to their dream and, after the event, to provide a path, plan and resources to help them reach their goal. Jarod Norris was nominated by the winner of the first Google Science Fair, Shree Bose - Academic Director of the National Academy of Future Scientists and Technologists - to represent North Linn High School based on his academic achievement, leadership potential and passion for science and technology. During the three-day Congress, Jarod will join students from across the country and hear Nobel Laureates and National Medal of Science Winners talk about leading scientific research; be given advice from deans of the world's top tech universities; be inspired by fellow teen science prodigies; and learn about cutting-edge advances and the future of science and technology. "This is a crucial time in America when we need more nimble-minded and creative scientists and technologists who are even better prepared for a future that is changing exponentially,” said Richard Rossi, Executive Director, National Academy of Future Scientists and Technologists. “Focused, bright and determined students like Jarod Norris are our future and he deserves all the mentoring and guidance we can give him.” The Academy offers free services and programs to students who have the desire to learn more about their future in science or technology. Some of the services and programs the Academy offers include online social networks through which future scientists and technologists can communicate; opportunities for students to be guided and mentored by tech and science leaders; and communications for parents and students on college acceptance and finances, skills acquisition, internships, career guidance and much more. The Academy was founded on the belief that science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education plays a critical role in enabling the United States to remain the economic and technological leader of the global marketplace of the 21st century and that we must identify prospective talent at the earliest possible age and help these students acquire the necessary experience and skills to take them to the doorstep of vital careers. Based in Washington, DC and with an office in Boston, MA, the Academy was chartered as a nonpartisan, taxpaying institution to help address this crisis by working to identify, encourage and mentor students who wish to devote their lives to advances in society as scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians.
