TIDBITS® SAYS --

THE “I’S” HAVE IT!

by Kathy Wolfe

There are a lot of interesting people, places, and things that begin with the letter “I” and this week Tidbits is investigating several of them. • When type is printed in italics, the font slants slightly to the right. This isn’t a new typeface, but rather was first used in Italy in 1500, hence the name “italic.” Italics are used for a number of purposes, including emphasizing a word in print. Books, plays, and periodicals are written in italics, as are names of ships, foreign words, and the Latin genus and species names in biology. • Although elephants usually come to mind when the word ivory is mentioned, there are several other tusked mammals, including the walrus, hippopotamus, sperm whale, narwhal, and wart hog. No matter the species of animal, the chemical structure of tusks is the same, similar to that of bones and antlers, except that ivory has no blood vessel system, making it much denser than bone. Dentine, the main component is a connective tissue of minerals and protein. International trade in ivory has been illegal for decades, but continues underground, with 1 lb. bringing in $1,000. The tusks of one elephant can be worth more than ten times the average annual salary in most of the African countries where the elephant is found. turn the page for more!

• If you’re suffering from icterus, your skin and the whites of your eyes will appear yellow. The more common name for his ailment is jaundice, from the French word jaune, meaning “yellow.” Bilirubin is a yellow substance produced when the liver breaks down old red cells. When the substance is at high levels, the yellowish pigmentation appears. The condition is common in infants around Day Two of life, and can be alleviated by exposing the baby to light and sunlight, which promotes the production of Vitamin D. Hepatitis, liver cancer, and bile duct blockage can also produce icterus. • Idaho is nicknamed the “Gem State” because almost every known type of gemstone has been found there. In fact, its state gem, the star garnet, can only be found there and in India. This mountainous state was the 43rd state admitted to the Union and has an area larger than that of all the New England states combined. It’s believed that the name Idaho traces its origins to the Shoshone language, translating “the sun comes from the mountains.” Two major grocery chains, Safeway and Albertsons, have their roots in the state of Idaho. Famous folks born there include baseball great Harmon Killebrew, Olympic skier Picabo Street, and actress Lana Turner. • Izzard might sound like a rare animal or one of its parts, but it’s actually the Old English word for the letter “Z”. The expression “from A to izzard” means “from beginning to end.” If you “don’t know A from izzard,” you don’t know even the most basic things. Izzard is related to the British use of “zed” for Z, while the Scots call it “ezed.”

• Ibex and ibis might look like similar words, but these two creatures are vastly different. The ibex is a wild goat with large curved horns that lives in the European Alps. Its habitat is the mountainous regions from 5,900 to 10,800 feet. The ibis is a long-legged wading bird related to the heron. Its long slender, downwardly-curved bill enables them to probe mud for food. Florida’s University of Miami has chosen the white ibis as its school mascot because of its bravery. Legend has it that the ibis is the last creature to take shelter before a hurricane, and the first to reappear when the storm has passed.

• The driest known object in the Solar System is Io, one of the moons of the planet Jupiter. Discovered in 1610, it’s also the most geologically active object, with more than 400 active volcanoes. This moon is named for the mythological priestess Io, a mortal lover of Zeus, ruler of the Olympian gods. According to Greek mythology, Zeus turned her into a heifer in order to hide her from his wife. • Can you translate this sentence? Those who are impavid have no iatrophobia. To be impavid means a person is fearless; therefore, he has no fear of going to the doctor, which is iatrophobia. •

If a word is imsonic, it’s also onomatopoetic. What in the world does that mean? These are words that have been created to imitate a natural sound, such as honk, beep, buzz, cuckoo, meow, quack, and purr.

• If someone can follow your ichnograms, you’ve simply left your footprints behind. • We all have that one inaniloquent friend – one who is prone to foolish or empty babbling!

TOOLS 4 LIFE BY DR. JIM COYLE

The Tears of a Pet

After 36 years of assisting people in their grief, I have become aware of a new phenomenon concerning pets. Their tears need to be understood as they try to understand and accept the loss of their masters. I recently was working with a mom who lost her 23 year old son. She asked if she could bring his dog who happened to be a German Short Haired Pointer. When we started talking about her son, the dog jumped into my lap and began lapping me leaving my suit soaked with his love marks. I wanted to meet mom again and asked her to bring the dog. This time I purposefully avoided any contact or attention to the dog as I wanted to see what would take place. When our conversation focused on the loss of his master, the dog buried his head in my lap and began to tear up with heavy breathing. The dog had been sleeping alone in the bed of his master for 8 weeks. Another time I was visiting with a widow in her grief of losing her lifelong husband. He had a cat that was in depression and had withdrawn for several days with no contact or presence. While talking about his master, the cat came out of nowhere, jumped up onto my shoulder, and began pressing his body against the side of my neck and face. The wife said that cat had never done that before with anyone as she was amazed. I have now included the tears of a pet whenever possible in the grieving process. They know, hear, and understand the pain of loss. My dry cleaning bill has doubled.

• When we mention a school as being “Ivy League,” it belongs to a group of eight long-established U.S. universities in the eastern part of the country. The group includes Harvard, the nation’s oldest institute of higher learning, founded in 1636. Harvard was initially a school for the clergy, gradually becoming secular in the 1700s. Yale was founded in New Haven, CT in 1702 as a training ground for political leaders and clergymen. Today it is home to the second-largest academic library in the U.S., second only to Harvard. Princeton University was founded in 1746 as the College of New Jersey, its name until 1896. Founded in 1740 by Benjamin Franklin, the University of Pennsylvania was established in Philadelphia with a focus on education for public service and commerce. Providence, Rhode Island’s Brown University was founded in 1746. The smallest of the group is Dartmouth, established in 1769 in Hanover, New Hampshire. Located in New York City, Columbia University was founded in 1754 by a royal charter of King George II of England. The final Ivy League college is Cornell, founded in 1865 in Ithaca, New York. During the 1800s, “planting the ivy” was a traditional ceremony at many colleges, and the ivy-covered walls reflect the efforts of students each Spring. It wasn’t until the early 1930s that this group of universities were described as “Ivy colleges.” They term “Ivy League” was first used in 1954, when the NCAA athletic conference was formed and the eight schools became part of the Division.

UNUSUAL ANIMALS:

SEAHORSES

It’s time to bone up on the more than 50 different species of seahorses found around the globe. • The scientific name given to seahorses is Hippocampus, which translates from the Ancient Greek word hippos, (horse), and kampos, meaning “sea monster.” In looking at the tiny fish, with its head and neck resembling that of a horse, it’s easy to see where it received its name. • Seahorses are classified as “bony fish,” with a skeleton of bone tissue rather than cartilage. They have no scales, but rather bony plates of armor arranged in rings around their bodies. Each species has its own specific number of rings. • Size of these sea creatures ranges from less than one inch up to 14 inches long. The smallest is the pygmy seahorse that is 0.5 inch long and lives in the waters off Indonesia and Malaysia. The big-bellied seahorse ranks as the largest species, and can be found in the waters off Southern Australia and New Zealand. • Each seahorse shows it uniqueness in the small crown on its head. Each crown, known as a coral net, differs in size and design. • Only two types of fish swim upright, seahorses and razorfish, propelling themselves with their dorsal fin, located on the back of their body. The pectoral fins on the sides of the head are used to steer themselves while swimming. Even with these methods of locomotion, seahorses are poor swimmers. They would rather rest in one area, holding on to seaweed or coral for days at a time. Sometimes they

hitchhike through the waters by attaching themselves to floating debris. • Seahorses have a prehensile tail, meaning it is able to pick up things and hold them. This enables them to swim in pairs by wrapping their curled tails around another’s tail. • Seahorses are part of the diet of penguins, tuna, rays, and crabs. If a seahorse manages to avoid its predators, it lives from 4 to 6 years. They do have an important defensive ability, that of changing colors to blend into their environment, protecting them from predators. In a matter of seconds, seahorses can change from purple to yellow to gray to black. While on the lookout for predators, the seahorse can move one eye at a time. Yet, less than 1% of the babies survive to adulthood. • Because they have no teeth or stomach, food passes through the body very quickly, requiring them to be eating almost constantly, sucking up food through their long snout. A tiny 2-week old creature might consume 4,000 shrimp a day! • Unlike any other species, the male seahorses are the ones who carry the young. As they mate, the female deposits up to 1,500 eggs in the male’s pouch, where they are fertilized internally. The male typically wraps his tail around nearby coral or seaweed to wait it out. The female’s body becomes slimmer, while his expands as he carries the eggs for about 45 days, until the baby seahorses are born fully developed. The male is then finished with his part in reproduction, and takes no part in the lives of the offspring. • Not surprisingly, a group of seahorses, (which are often referred to as the Stallions of the Sea), is called a herd

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver

● In American folklore, it’s Johnny Appleseed who is credited with sowing apple trees across the nation. In reality, though, much of the credit can go to the pioneers’ craving for hard cider.Ê ● In February, a mattress company conducted a survey of 390 Americans (hardly a comprehensive sample, of course) to determine consumers’ attitudes toward sleep around Valentine’s Day. Interestingly, fully half of the respondents said that they’d rather have a good night’s sleep than be the recipient of a romantic gesture on what is generally regarded as the most romantic day of the year. And 64 percent said they cared more about getting at least 8 hours of sleep every night than they did about finding a life partner. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

It’s Easier to Find a Good Nursing Home Medicare’s Nursing Home Compare website now has the long-awaited star ratings. Announced months ago, the site has added six more quality measurements and has added the star features, making it easier to do comparisons when the time comes to pick out a nursing home. To find the nursing home ratings, go online to www.medicare.gov and put “nursing home compare” in the search box. Put in your ZIP code, and you can compare up to three at a time. The devil is in the details, as always. Look for tiny items like the number of minutes of physical therapy per resident per day, dates of last inspections, residents rights deficiencies, any mistreatment complaints, pharmacy service deficiencies and any penalties and fines in the past three years. Be sure to click and read the actual inspection reports. You might find that cleaning materials and foods were comingled, or that food was left uncovered in the freezer. What’s concerning is that not all the inspection reports are there. You’ll need to know if a facility has eight firecode deficiencies, or that the ceiling over the food-prep area has peeling paint, or that insulin wasn’t kept at the correct cold temperature or had expired. One thing lacking in the ratings is that nowhere will you find resident or family satisfaction. The data is mostly self-reported by the nursing homes themselves and the measures aren’t necessarily comparable between facilities, especially the ratings that don’t include full inspection reports. While the star rating is a good place to begin, it shouldn’t be the end of your research into a good nursing home. Ask for recommendations from your doctor or people you know.
