TIDBITS® CHECKS OUT FACTS ON by Kathy Wolfe You can’t see them, but they’re everywhere! This week, Tidbits focuses on germs, what they are, where they are, and how you can defend yourself against the harmful ones. • “Germ” is a simple name for “pathogen,” anything that can produce disease. In reality, most germs – up to about 99% -don’t harm you, and in fact, some are good for you! Some bacteria in the stomach aids in the digestive process, while other germs on your skin help keep the bad ones from getting in. We need “good” bacteria to produce yogurt and cheese. Scientists believe that being exposed to certain germs is good for you because it builds up the body’s immune system, increasing your body’s ability to defend itself. The average human has between 2 and 5 lbs. of bacteria in the body. • Germs are categorized into four main groups – bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa. Bacteria are one-celled organisms, so small that 1,000 of them can fit end to end on the tip of your pencil’s eraser. Some bacteria measure around 1,000 nanometers (a nanometer is one-billionth of a meter.) They get their nutrients from their environment, whatever that may be, and can reproduce outside of the body or inside where they cause infections. Turn the page for more!

• While most bacteria are harmless, the harmful ones are responsible for strep throat, tuberculosis, pneumonia, and even cavities in your teeth. • In order for a virus to reproduce, it needs to be inside living cells, which act as the host. However, they can live for a short time on surfaces such as a countertop or doorknob. Measles, chickenpox, shingles, influenza, and the common cold are examples of viruses. While antibiotics can knock out bacteria, they have no effect on viruses. • Fungi derive their nutrition from people, plants, and animals. They thrive in warm, damp places. Athlete’s foot, ringworm, thrush, and candida are all the result of these multi-celled organisms. • The single-celled protozoa often live in food, soil, water, or insects, and enter the body by these means. Malaria is transmitted by infected mosquitoes, while giardia is spread through water. • Americans miss 50 million days of work because of colds. Did you know that the speed of a sneeze is more than 100 mph, spreading 5,000 droplets with 10,000 bacteria a distance of up to 12 feet? • If you ask people where the highest concentration of germs is, most will probably say the toilet! However, studies indicate that cell phones are 18 times dirtier than public toilet handles, with one in six cell phones having E. coli bacteria on it. About 75% of Americans use their phone in the bathroom, but how many people wash their hands after using their phone? It’s recommended that cell phone users clean it with an antibacterial wipe once a week. Do the same with an IPad or tablet. Cont'd next page!

• Your kitchen sink also is more germladen than the bathroom. In fact, the number one germiest place in your home is the kitchen sponge. There are typically more than 500,000 bacteria in the kitchen sink, about 1,000 times more than your toilet. Because bacteria from raw meats and other foods thrive in the sink, you should be scouring it every day with a disinfecting cleanser. Two minutes a day in the microwave will keep your kitchen sponge free of E. coli and salmonella. (Be sure to wet it first.) Dish towels can be as bad as sponges for harboring staph and other bacteria. • What’s the germiest place in your child’s school? The drinking fountain, with 800 times the germs of the toilet seats! Even the lunch trays, faucets, and computer keyboards at schools have more germs than the toilet seat. • Playground equipment ranks high on the list of germy spots, with little hands gripping slides and swings. What’s the worst spot in the playground? Naturally the sandbox! And one study revealed that more than half of the swimming pools tested were positive for E. coli. Don’t swallow the water! • The Centers for Disease Control tell us that 65% of women wash their hands after using the bathroom, compared to 31% of men. For those who do, even the public soap pumps are home to bacteria carried from the stall to the sink. The most cost-effective means of controlling disease is washing hands. But most folks do it incorrectly, washing for only six seconds. To be effective, hands should be lathered with soap and scrubbed for 15 to 20 seconds. Cont'd next page!

• About 80% of infections are spread by hand. In fact, more germs are spread by shaking hands than by kissing! About half the population washes their hands after sneezing or coughing, and only 17% after shaking hands with strangers. • Dining out tonight? Consider the fact that restaurant menus have 100 times more bacteria than a toilet seat, and might be wiped down just once a day, perhaps with a dirty rag. It’s a good idea not to lay your silverware on top of the menu, and you might want to wash your hands after you order. And how about those ketchup bottles? No one knows what the previous person touched before handling the ketchup. If you like a wedge of lemon in your water, bear in mind that 70% of lemons’ exteriors carry disease-causing microbes. • Can you identify the most germ-laden object in a hotel room? It’s the TV remote! Carry along a package of disinfectant wipes on your next trip to take care of this. • Before loading your fresh produce into the top of your grocery cart, consider that a baby with a dirty diaper may have been sitting there just moments before, or perhaps a package of raw meat. The cart’s handle might be loaded with up to 11 million germs Those antibacterial wipe dispensers found at the front of most stores will help alleviate this problem! • Before you lock yourself up at home to avoid germs, remember that a healthy immune system that comes in contact with bad germs in small quantities will recognize them as bad and will fight them off. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers are an exceptional way to fight germs.

SHAMU

September 26 has been designated as Shamu the Whale Day, so Tidbits is taking this opportunity to give you the facts on killer whales and Shamu in particular. • In June of 1965, a salmon fisherman was caught in a storm near British Columbia’s Warrior Cove. He cut his net loose and headed for safety. The following morning, he discovered two killer whales trapped in his abandoned net, one male about 21 feet long, and a young calf. The calf escaped shortly afterward, but the bull was offered for sale at $25,000. When there were no takers at the steep price, the fisherman finally settled for $8,000 cash from the owner of the Seattle Marine Aquarium. The whale was named Namu after a nearby British Columbian community. It took 18 days to make the 400-mile trip down to Seattle, with Namu enclosed in a three-sided pen. • Four months later, the Seattle aquarium owner captured a female killer whale in Puget Sound, a 14-foot, 2000 lb. female meant as a companion for Namu. She was named Shamu, meaning “Friend of Namu,” however, she was anything but that. After it became obvious that the two didn’t get along, just two months later, Shamu was sold to San Diego’s Sea World, an attraction that had opened the previous year, 1964. Namu lived just a year in Seattle before drowning after becoming entangled in the cables of his pen. • While at Sea World, Shamu was trained to perform, and was a star for nearly six years until 1971, when she latched

• • •

•

on to and refused to release the leg of a female employee who was riding Shamu at a publicity event. The whale’s jaws had to be pried apart with a pole, and Shamu was immediately retired from performances. The orca died four months later of septicemia. After Shamu’s death, Sea World continued to use the name for the subsequent killer whales used in their shows. September 26, Shamu the Whale Day commemorates that day in 1985, when the first surviving orca was born in captivity. During the 1960s and 1970, approximately 35 orcas were captured in Puget Sound, with 13 killed during the process. The last whale to be captured was Lolita, caught near Washington’s Whidbey Island in 1970. Her home for the last 46 years has been the Miami Seaquarium, although plans are in the works to return her to her native habitat. In the wild, an orca can swim at a speed of 28 mph, although their average pace is about 6 to 8 mph Their diet varies from fish to seals, sea lions, sharks, rays, octopi, and squid, with some feeding on penguins and sea turtles. The average killer whale consumes about 500 lbs. of food a day. A newborn killer whale weighs between 265 and 350 lbs., and measures about 8.5 ft. long. An average male will reach a length of about 22 ft., and can weigh up to nearly 12,000 lbs. The smaller adult females can weigh about 8,200 lbs. , with a length of 19 feet. The lifespan of an orca is 60 years for males and 90 years for females.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

by Samantha Weaver ● It was Colombian novelist, short-story writer, screenwriter and journalist Gabriel Garcia Marquez who made the following sage observation: “Words are not created by academics in universities and suchlike; rather it is the man in the street who does so. Dictionary compilers almost always recognize them too late and embalm them in alphabetical order, in many cases when they have lost their original meaning.” ● Those who study such things say that when faced with a crisis situation, the average woman tends to remain calmer than the average man. ● You might be surprised to learn that the first printing press in North America was not anywhere within the present-day boundaries of the United States. The very first one was set up in Mexico City, back in 1539. ● According to historians, Native Americans who lived on the Pacific coast often weaned their babies on caviar.

Like It or Not, Winter Is Coming

--Are you getting ready for winter yet? A quick look at one of the famous almanacs shows a mixed outlook for this year. Depending where we live, we might get colder temperatures than last year, or more snow but warmer temperatures, or lots of rain but cold weather ... the possibilities are all over the place. There’s nothing to do but be ready for the worst. Here’s what my to-do list looks like for the next few months: * Stock up on canned goods and packaged meals, antiseptic wipes and batteries for smoke detectors and flashlights. * Check hats, gloves and coat to see if they need to be replaced. (Gloves, yes. Hat and coat, no. I added a waffle shirt, which is great for an additional layer.) The good news is that right now these items are on sale in a number of stores before their new stock arrives. * Schedule a flu shot for the end of September. * Send extra money to the fuel company to add to my monthly plan amount (they base it on last year’s usage), and schedule a furnace inspection to be sure it’s in good shape. * Schedule car maintenance and buy tires. When I heard the mechanic says my tires probably would see me through one more winter, I didn’t like the sound of that “probably” and opted not to take a chance. * Load up on books for cold, dark days. * Sign up for a winter class to make sure I get out, even when it’s cold. Depending where you live, your todo list might look something like mine, but also might include stocking up on bottled water, finding out if senior services will be giving away space heaters, having drafty windows caulked and adding pet food to your supplies.

TOOLS 4 LIFE BY DR. JIM COYLE

My Heart Condition

If not detected in time, heart disease will kill me physically, spiritually, and emotionally. Solomon wrote; “Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.” Proverbs 4:3. What are my thoughts anchored in? Am I constantly comparing, resenting, and/or envious? Am I easily angered? Am I stressed out 24 and 7? Am I positive or negative in speaking to or about others? Getting my heart right is critical for survival. If the water in my well is polluted it will make me sick. If I keep drinking it will kill me. “Create a pure heart in me, O God, and put a new and loyal spirit in me.” Psalm 51:10 I must get to the heart of my problem which is the problem of my heart. Here are three great words for me to coat my heart with immediately: pure, new, and loyal.

CITY NAME ORIGINS

Have you ever wondered where some cities got their name? Check out some of these popular locations with unusual origins. • The Algonquin Indian tribes living in what is now Chicago identified the area near the river as the place where species of wild leeks grew. Chicago translates from their language as “smelly onions.” The French explorer Robert de la Salle was the first to record the name of the region as “Checagou.” • The name of Quebec also has Algonquin origins, from their word kebec, meaning “where the river narrows.” This indicated the area where the St. Lawrence River narrows to a cliff-lined gap. Another French explorer Samuel de Champlain dubbed the area Quebec in 1608. • The Kansa Indians living in what is now the northeast portion of the state of Kansas named the area along the river Topeka. The native language for Topeka translates the name as “a good place to dig potatoes.” The community that bears the name was established in the mid-1850s. • Palo Alto, California’s name has its roots in the Spanish language, meaning “tall sticks,” representing the nearby giant redwoods, specifically El Palo Alto, a tree growing on the bank of San Francisquito Creek within the city. In 1814, this giant measured 162.2 feet tall, but is currently only 110 feet. As the water table lowered over the years due to nearby wells, the tree’s roots were unable to reach water, and much of its top died. Its diameter is 90 inches across. In 1955, the tree was bored to determine its age according to the number of rings. It’s estimated to be more than 1,075 years old today. • Manitoba, Canada’s capital city, Winnipeg, is located near Lake Winnipeg, named such by the native Cree tribe. The lake’s water was filled with silt that drained into it from the nearby prairies. The Cree word translates “muddy or brackish water.” • Spain’s Duke of Albuquerque financed an expedition up the Rio Grande in 1660, searching for cities of gold. The city is named for the Duke, whose name translates from Spanish, albumen, meaning “white,” and Quercus, for “oak.” • Oklahoma City, the 27th largest city in the U.S., is home to one of the largest livestock markets in the world. It takes its name from the Choctaw tribe’s words okla and humma, translating “red people.” • Abilene, Kansas started out as a stage coach stop named Mud Creek in 1857. In 1860, the settlement was renamed Abilene, commemorating a passage in the Bible, Luke 3:1, translating from the Hebrew for “city of the plains.” • During an 1829 expedition, a Mexican trader named Antonio Armijo led 60 people along the Spanish trail between New Mexico and California. Armijo sent out a scouting party in search of water, and the group came upon an oasis of artesian springs and meadows in the middle of the desert They named it Las Vegas, which translates from Spanish as “fertile plains or meadows.” The town of Las Vegas was not founded until 1905, and remained small until Nevada legalized gambling in 1931. • The city of Spokane, Washington, takes its name from the Native American tribe of the same name who called the area home for centuries. The word Spokane translates from the Salish language for “children of the sun.”
