TIDBITS® SWIMS WITH THE

by Kathy Wolfe This week, Tidbits goes under the sea to swim with the jellyfish, bringing you some fascinating facts about this gelatinous marine animal. • Jellyfish aren’t really fish at all! Fish are vertebrates, meaning they have a backbone, while jellyfish are invertebrates lacking a backbone. In fact, they don’t even have the basic sensory organs, respiratory system, circulatory system, or even a brain! Jellyfish also don’t have gills that would classify them as a fish. Many public aquariums refer to them as “sea jellies” instead. Their bodies are mostly water, about 94% to 98%. The mushroom-shaped top of the jellyfish is known as the bell. • Jellyfish swim by contracting their bodies, but they aren’t very good swimmers. They’re usually moved along by water currents, which accounts for the many times they are washed up on beaches. These creatures are especially high in numbers in the tropical oceans around Florida, Malaysia, Australia, Hawaii, and the Philippines. • Jellyfish that swim near the water’s surface nearer to the sunlight are usually colorless or transparent. Those dwelling in the deep can be found in many vibrant colors, including red, purple, green, yellow, and even striped. turn the page for more!

(continued): • There are about 400 areas in the oceans of the world where jellyfish are the only life form that can survive. • The lifespan of a jellyfish varies from a few hours to a few days up to less than a year. • Sizes of jellyfish vary greatly, with the smallest about one millimeter. The two largest species are the Lion’s Mane and Nomura’s jellyfish. The Lion’s Mane’s thread-like tentacles can grow up to 120 feet long, with a bell diameter of 39 inches that is shaped like an eightpointed star. This jelly’s tentacles are arranged in eight bunches with more than 100 tentacles in each. The largest Lion’s Mane ever seen washed ashore in Massachusetts Bay in 1870. Its bell diameter was 7 feet, 6 inches, and total body length was longer than the largest known blue whale. Lion’s Mane species favor cold northern waters, including the Arctic Sea and northern Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. While their sting is moderately painful, it is seldom fatal. • Nomura’s jellyfish is found in the waters off Japan, Korea, and China. Its bell diameter can reach 79 inches and it might weight up to 440 lbs.. • The Stygiomedusa Gigantean jellyfish has only been seen 115 times in the last 110 years. Like the Lion’s Mane, the Stygiomedusa can have a bell diameter of 39 inches wide, but rather than the hundreds of tentacles, it has four thick paddle-like arms about 20 feet long. • Nematocysts are very small stinging cells located in the tentacles that inject toxin into a jellyfish’s prey. Touching a jellyfish can initiate millions of these cells to pierce the victim’s skin. A sting can range from a slight tingling to extreme pain and even to death. Cont'd next page!

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel
(continued): • More people are killed each year by jellyfish than by sharks. Yet jellyfish don’t purposely attack humans, with stings occurring when a person accidentally touches the creature. • The most poisonous species of jellyfish, the Irukandji Jellyfish, is also the most venomous animal on Earth, with a toxin 100 times stronger than that of a cobra. Effects of a sting include nausea, vomiting, high blood pressure, agonizing pain, and in some cases, death. It’s possible to treat a single sting, but multiple stings usually result in death. • The box jellyfish is one of the Irukandji species, with a sting that can cause death in as little as three minutes. It’s capable of swimming at speeds up to 4 mph (6.4 km/hr), faster than most humans. It is more physically advanced than most other jellyfish, with four brains, and 24 eyes, two of which can see color. With all of these eyes, the box jellyfish has a 360-degree view of its environment. • The 60 tentacles of a single box jellyfish contain enough venom to kill 60 people. Their stingers can release toxin faster than a gun discharges a bullet. • With an abundance of box jellyfish found in the waters surrounding Australia, that continent reports about 10,000 stings every year. Between 20 and 40 people die annually in the Philippines alone from the deadly sting. • Another Irukandji species, the sea wasp, has about half a million darts on each tentacle. In the past 60 years, close to 5,600 deaths have been attributed to this jellyfish. Its bell reaches the size of a basketball, with 60 tentacles, up to 15 feet long (4.6 m) hanging down.

• Even dead jellyfish have the ability to sting when touched, with tentacles able to stay alive for about four days. In 2010, a dead Lion’s Mane jellyfish washed up on shore at a state park in Rye, New Hampshire. It weighed about 50 lbs., with a bell about the size of a trash can lid, and tentacles reaching 13 feet . When a lifeguard attempted to pick up the jellyfish with a pitchfork, the creature began to fall apart, but its stingers were still active. Nearly 150 people were stung by the dead jelly. • A large group of jellyfish is known as a bloom or a smack, and can contain as many as 100,000 of the creatures. A bloom can grow pretty rapidly, considering that a single jellyfish can release as many as 45,000 eggs each day. The sheer number of the animals can create havoc in the seas. In 1982, the comb jellyfish was accidentally introduced into Eastern Europe’s Black Sea. Within eight years, the creature had caused $350 million in losses to the area’s fishing and tourism industries. By consuming ten times its body weight in food every day, the jellyfish wiped out 900 million tons of fish during that time. They were also responsible for a temporary shutdown of a Japanese nuclear power plant when a large group became stuck in the plant’s cooling system. • Jellyfish can be accidentally introduced into their non-native habitat by attaching to ship hulls and traveling into other areas. • If you see Australian lifeguards wearing pantyhose on their arms and legs, it’s because even something as thin as nylon pantyhose will prevent jellies from stinging. • After the first jellyfish sting, it is very important to get out of the water immediately and wash the area with salt water, not fresh water. Salt water deactivates the stinging cells, while fresh water reactivates them. Scraping the area with a credit card is the best way to remove the stinging cells.

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver
● It was beloved Scottish author J.M. Barrie, creator of Peter Pan, who made the following sage observation: “Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.” ● Among the Balonda people, an African tribe that dwells along the Zambezi River, it was once customary for a groom to promise that he’ll supply kindling wood to his mother-in-law for the rest of her life. (So marry an older woman that is the youngest in her family)
● A fisherman in the Philippines recently revealed a treasure that he’d been keeping under his bed for 10 years: a 75-pound natural pearl with an estimated value of $100 million. Evidently, after finding the pearl in a giant clam, he decided to keep it as a good-luck charm. The “Pearl of Puerto,” as it’s known, blew the world record out of the water (pun intended). The previous record holder for largest natural pearl was the “Pearl of LaoTsu” (sometimes called the “Pearl of Allah”), which weighs in at a mere 14 pounds. ● The female Jesus bird is the one in charge, it would seem. She controls her own territory, allowing several male birds to build nests within it. Then she lays eggs in all the nests, and the males incubate them.

Creativity Solves Problems
I love the television show MacGyver and am so glad they have resurrected it for another series. The attraction for me is how creativity can solve problems. I make it a point to surround myself with creative people. Creative people find a way to make things work and make things happen. "We are continually faced by great opportunities brilliantly disguised as insoluble problems." - Lee Iacocca People that are solution-focused are always looking for opportunities to make things right. There is such positive influence and energy when solutions outweigh problems. People understand solutions much easier than problems. A mind that is constantly churning is a mind that doesn’t give up. I have two MacGyver’s I work with. I sit back in awe and soak up how they manage people and situations with ingenuity and resourcefulness. I have learned to be creative in raising my kids, loving my wife, and dedicating my passions in the work place. Doing things out of the box might not always work but living outside the box allows for mistakes and room to explore new and creative ways to exist. We are all created to have creativity. If you want to solve more problems get in touch with your creative side and become part of the solution, not part of the problem.

UNUSUAL ANIMALS:
“J” ANIMALS
Tidbits’ animal focus this week is on the letter “J,” bringing you the details on some unusual species beginning with that letter. • Jackrabbits aren’t really rabbits at all, but rather hares, which have taller hind legs and longer ears. In fact, jackrabbits were named for their ears, which caused some folks to call them “jackass rabbits,” which was later shortened to jackrabbits. These swift animals can reach speeds of 40 mph and can leap more than 10 feet. • The jaguar is the largest cat in the world, as well as the largest carnivorous mammal in Central and South America. Average size varies considerably, from 124 to 211 lbs.. The largest male jaguar recorded weighed 348 lbs.. Even with a length of up to 6 feet, they have the shortest tail of any big cat. • Don’t confuse the jaguar with the jaegar, an arctic seabird. These are very aggressive birds, stealing food from other birds. Found in Alaska, northern Canada, and Russia, jaegars are carnivores, with lemmings as the favorite part of their diet. Living most of their life at sea, they only come to shore to breed during the arctic summer, nesting on the Arctic tundra near the water. When it’s time to migrate, they travel to places where winter is about to start. • The beautiful large stork known as the jabiru is found from Mexico to South America. It’s South America’s tallest flying bird, standing as tall as 5 feet. Its wingspan can reach 9.2 feet across. Its plumage is white, except for its featherless upper neck and head, accented by a bright red pouch at the base of the neck. The broad black beak can measure almost 14 inches in length. • Sometimes called the “kangaroo of the desert,” jerboas look like a mouse with legs of a kangaroo. These small nocturnal rodents, found in Europe, Africa, and Asia, live in some of Earth’s hottest places. Their very large hind legs enable them to leap great distances. Even though they only measure between 2 and 6 inches, and weigh only a few ounces, they are able to leap up to 7 feet high, and distances of 10 feet in length. The jerboa can hop faster than a person can run. • We know that nocturnal animals are active at night, and diurnal, during the day. But have you heard the term crepuscular? This means an animal is most active at dawn and dusk, a characteristic of jackals, animals that belong to the same genus as wolves and dogs. Coyotes are sometimes called the “American jackal.” Jackals are well-suited for running with their long legs, and can maintain a speed of nearly 10 mph for extended periods of time. .• The jacuarundi, also known as an otter cat, is a wildcat related to the cougar, only much smaller. In fact, it more closely resembles a weasel, with short legs, an elongated body, and a long, otter-like tail. These cats only reach a length of 30 inches and weigh between 7.7 and 20 lbs. . This very shy and reclusive animal is native to Central and South America, although it can occasionally be seen in southern Texas and Florida.

You probably didn’t know there is a special day devoted to honoring the push-button phone. Here are the facts concerning November 18th, National Push-Button Phone Day. • Although Western Electric had experimented with a touch-tone phone as early as 1941, it wasn’t until November 18, 1963 that the first model was introduced to the public. This came after three years of rigorous customer testing. Consumers first had a chance to view the new gadget at the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair. • Before the push-button’s introduction, folks made calls on a rotary dial phone, a device invented by Almon Strowger in 1891. It used a pulse-dial system, an electromechanical system that used the current pulses generated by the rotary dial to determine the numbers selected. Digits in the phone number were indicated by a series of clicks that corresponded to the digit. The push-button employed dualtone multi-frequency, a method that used audible tones for each of the numbers zero through nine. Specific frequencies are assigned to each column and row of buttons on the keypad, with the columns having higher frequency tones and the rows, lower frequency tones. Combining the row and column results in the signal that is transmitted over the phone line. • The first touch-tone was the Model 1500 produced by Western Electric, with 10 buttons. Engineers had conducted research to determine the best layout for the keypad, whether the numbers should be the same as a cash register with lower numbers at the bottom, or having lower numbers at the top. The “1” at the top was most favorably rated by the study’s participants. • Two Pennsylvania communities were the first customers to receive the new pushbutton system. Carnegie and Greensburg were chosen based on population, average income, and isolation from metropolitan areas. Those who wanted the convenience and faster dialing time of the touchtone paid $1.50 extra per month for the privilege. • When the touch-tone phone was introduced, 25% of Americans’ phones were still connected through a party line. • In 1968, the asterisk and pound keys were added to the keypad layout, expanding it to 12 buttons on Western Electric’s new Model 2500. Although the * and # weren’t put into use immediately, they laid the foundation for the future of data transmission, using the telephone to access computers through telephone lines. From then on, the telephone was no longer just for talking! In the 1970s, automatic redial features, call forwarding, and digital call switching were incorporated into the system. • The smaller, lighter rotary dial Princess phone was introduced in 1959. It was especially desirable because it featured an internal light bulb that served as a bedside night light. The 10-button touchtone Princess made its debut in 1964. • It took many years for the touch-tone to become available in some areas. Even in the late 1970s, the majority of telephone customers still had rotary phones. That reversed in the 1980s when the touch-tone gained the advantage. Today, many areas no longer even support pulse dialing, and if they do, those customers are charged a higher monthly rate.

Senior News Line By Matilda Charles
Financial Abuse Often Not Reported The statistics on elder financial abuse are ugly. Abuse victims lose roughly $2.6 billion per year. One in every 20 seniors admits to being the victim of financial abuse, but only one in every 44 cases is reported. In the online blog “Recognizing Signs of Elder Abuse (and Traits of Elder Abusers),” attorney Will Sleeth lists the ways abusers can put pressure on seniors to change their estate plans. They can include bullying, isolating and threatening. The tactics and suggested investments from a financial abuser might sound a bit off as well, such as an anonymous investment club. Characteristics of the abusers themselves can be surprising. They’re often educated, sophisticated and welloff. Sometimes they’re convicted felons, or attorneys or doctors who lost their licenses to practice. Mostly, however, they’re socially isolated, having few friends or social contacts. That’s where the Internet can be handy. Many states have court case search features in their online judicial record systems. These are searchable by location, date ... and name. Anyone who is a financial abuser of seniors likely has done it before, and there will be a record of previous court cases and lawsuits. For more information, check Sleeth’s site (estateconflicts.com) and read more of the articles he’s written. The National Committee for the Prevention of Elder Abuse (www. preventelderabuse.org) has a large section on financial abuse. Financial scammers can sink so low as to read newspaper death announcements to identify those who are recently widowed and therefore vulnerable. If you’ve been the victim of financial abuse, or think someone is trying to scam you, speak up. Call the police. Call your bank and ask to speak to the manager. You can be protected.
