TIDBITS® EXPLORES A WORLD OF SCIENCE by Blue Sullivan Through their discoveries, research and inventions, scientists from across the globe have made countless improvements to education, medicine, physics, chemistry and many other fields. Learn more about some of the most prominent scientists from around the world. • One of the most recognized figures in history, German-born Albert Einstein was born with an unyielding curiosity and thirst for knowledge. The Nobel Prize winner is credited with unlocking secrets of the universe, and is perhaps most famous for his Theory of Relativity research. • Well ahead of his time, Austrian scientist Gregor Mendel mastered genetics and discovered how traits are inherited, though it took 34 years for the science world to recognize his genius. Initially his ideas were written off as ludicrous. • Sir Isaac Newton, regarded as the pioneer of modern physical science, made many scientific advances in the fields of natural science, mathematics, astronomy, mechanics and chemistry. Credited with discovering the force of gravity, he is still considered by many to be the “greatest and most influential scientist that has ever lived.” Turn the page for more!

• French chemist and biologist Louis Pasteur is best known for creating the method of pasteurization to keep milk and wine from spoiling in addition to creating vaccines for a number of diseases including rabies. Oddly enough, when Pasteur was in school, his teachers considered him to only be mediocre at chemistry. • All coffee fanatics have Melitta Bentz to thank. Bentz was a typical German housewife that went on to invent the coffee filter, 300 years after coffee had been discovered. She revolutionized the idea of using paper to filter out the unwanted residues. • Before he made his contributions to our knowledge about space (as well as creating his many inventions), Italian born Galileo Galilei wanted to be a musician. His father insisted that he go to medical school, yet Galilei never received his degree from the University of Pisa. He did, however, go on to publish “The Starry Messenger,” presenting among many other findings that Earth was not the center of the universe. • Although he might have found proof for the Earth not being the center of the universe, Galilei was not the first to introduce this concept. Mathematician and astronomer Nicholas Copernicus first claimed that the sun was the stationary object that Earth revolved around. His idea was disregarded by most, but he is credited as the initiator of the Scientific Revolution. • German chemist Robert Bunsen is famous for the Bunsen burner, although he never actually invented the iconic scientific tool; he merely improved it.

We had phone solicitors calling all the time. One day a basement water proofing company called, my son picked up and let the lady talk, you were able to hear how excited the lady was having found someone who would listen. Finally she asked, “When can we send someone down to give a estimate?” My son answered, “as soon as we dig a basement!”

• Although most scientists get their start in universities, it is only appropriate that Laszlo Jozsef Biro, inventor of the ball point pen, began as a journalist and editor. His brilliant idea stemmed from his annoyance at writing with a fountain pen. • Changing forever the music industry, German immigrant Emile Berliner revolutionized sound recording by being the first person to start recording on flat disks or records. He went on to invent the gramophone and records. Did you know that the first records were made of glass long before they switched to plastic? • Marie Curie, one of the most famous female scientists, is celebrated for her discovery of the mysterious element radium. She completely altered the way scientists thought about matter and energy and paved the way for the treatment of many diseases. • Glorified for his work with atomic theory, England native John Dalton achieved his findings due to his high interest in meteorology. He kept weather records until his death and published a book titled “Meteorological Observations.” He later went on to explain his conclusions about atoms in “New System of Chemical Philosophy.” • Scottish scientist James Watt was considered a “delicate” child and spent a great deal of his childhood homeschooled by his mother and was considered slow in many academic areas — except for math. Watt eventually invented the steam engine, and after Parliament granted him a patent that prevented anyone else from making a similar machine, Watt went on to control a steam engine dynasty. • Known as the Father of Geometry, ancient Greek Mathematician Euclid published his ideas in “The Elements,” and his teachings influenced Western mathematics for more than 2,000 years. Since it is estimated that he lived from 325 BC-265 BC, little is known about his life.

A WORLD OF SCIENCE(CONTINUED)

• Born into a prominent family of wealth, Italian scientist Amedeo Avogadro followed in his family’s footsteps to practice law but couldn’t shake his interest in the natural sciences. He studied physics and math in private for years before he published his hypothesis about molecules that was eventually labeled Avogadro’s Law.

• Immensely famous for his printing press, Johannes Gutenberg began as a goldsmith and businessman before making his contributions as a scientist and inventor. Gutenberg forever altered the method and speed by which books were distributed to the public. • German physicist Wilhelm Rontgen is known for discovering X-rays and received great recognition for his findings, including streets named in his honor, countless awards and the Nobel Prize in Physics. • German physician and bacteriologist Robert Koch made a discovery that changed medicine forever: All diseases were not caused by bad air but instead by bacteria. He was able to find the causes of such deadly diseases of tuberculosis, cholera and the cycle of anthrax. Koch won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1905. • Although he was expected to enter the medical field, Frederick Sanger’s interest in nature and science was too strong. Because of his work with proteins and DNA, Sanger won two Nobel Prizes in Chemistry, one in 1958 and one in 1980. He was the first person to find a protein sequence. A man went to a restaurant and ordered a steak with baked potato. About halfway through dinner he called the waitress over and said, “Ma’am, this potato is bad.” She nodded, picked up the potato, and smacked it. Then she put it back on his plate and said, “Sir, if that potato causes any more trouble, you just let me know.”

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver

● It was pop art icon Andy Warhol who made the following sage observation: “It’s the movies that have really been running things in America since they were invented. They show you what to do, how to do it, when to do it, how to feel about it, and how to look when you feel about it.” ● If you were like the average rabbit, you would take 18 naps every day. ● You probably know that the 1939 film “The Wizard of Oz” was based on the book “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” by L. Frank Baum. You may not realize, though, that Baum wrote a total of 14 Oz books between 1900 and 1920. The series continued even after the author’s death; Ruth Plumly Thompson produced one Oz book every year between 1921 and 1939.

● Those who study such things say that wine was being drunk more than 7,000 years ago, in ancient Sumeria. ● When the Coca-Cola Company first started marketing its product in China, the advertisements used Chinese symbols to spell out the brand’s name phonetically. It was only after the ads had been published that the marketers learned that those symbols spelled out the phrase “bite the wax tadpole.”

Senior News Line by Matilda Charles

Grab the Brass Ring Many of us have retired and then discovered that retirement isn’t all it was cracked up to be. Maybe we got pushed out by downsizing. Maybe we felt the time had come to stop working because we’d reached a certain age. Now many of us miss having a purpose, structure and a reason to get up every day. Certainly we miss the people we worked with and feeling valuable. Often we’re simply bored. If you go online and Google the words “seniors retired bored” you’ll get more than 7 million hits. But here is a truth: We don’t have to stay retired. If your retirement isn’t what you’d expected, consider alternate paths you’d like to take for the rest of your life. Think back: What did you truly want to do with your life? Many women were pushed into mother and wife roles. If you’re a man, perhaps a college education wasn’t possible, so you created the best life you could. But now you have time -- and opportunities. If you’re lucky enough to live near a college or university, inquire about auditing (no credit) classes on topics that interest you. Maybe you’ll even go on to get a degree. Make a list of everything you know how to do, and offer to teach a class. Reading, swimming safety, woodworking, sewing, bookkeeping, photography, art, home repair and other skills are all valuable to someone else. Explore volunteer positions in your area and put your skills to use. Look at an AARP site [www.createthegood.org] and either sign up for a volunteer slot or get on the list to be notified of future opportunities.

● On June 21, 1788, New Hampshire becomes the ninth and last necessary state to ratify the Constitution of the United States, thereby making the document the law of the land. Massachusetts had initially opposed the document as it failed to reserve undelegated powers to the states. ● On June 23, 1902, German automaker Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft (DMG) first registers “Mercedes” as a brand name. The famous Mercedes symbol, a three-point star, was registered as a trademark in 1909. ● On June 24, 1915, young German fighter pilot Oswald Boelcke makes the first operational flight of the Fokker Eindecker plane. The Fokker was equipped with machine guns that could fire straight ahead through the aircraft’s propellers. The precise timing of the propeller blades allowed them to avoid being struck by the machine gun bullets. ● On June 18, 1923, the first Checker Cab rolls off the line at the Checker Cab Manufacturing Company in Kalamazoo, Mich. The shipment stood out as a major landmark in the history of the company, which by then employed some 700 people. ● On June 19, 1953, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, who were convicted of conspiring to pass U.S. atomic secrets to the Soviets, are executed by the electric chair at Sing Sing Prison in Ossining, N.Y. Both refused to admit any wrongdoing and proclaimed their innocence right up to the time of their deaths. ●On June 22, 1964, Dan Brown, author of the international blockbuster ÒThe Da Vinci CodeÓ as well as other best-selling thrillers, is born in New Hampshire. BrownÕs novels are known for involving symbols, conspiracies and secret societies. His first novel, ÒDigital Fortress,Ó was published in 1998. ● On June 20, 1980, in a match in Montreal, Roberto Duran out-points “Sugar” Ray Leonard to win the World Boxing Council welterweight title. Yet, five months later in a rematch, with less than 30 seconds left in the eighth round, Duran looked at the referee and famously uttered the words “no mas” or “no more,” giving up.

FAMOUS LANDMARKS OF THE WORLD:

A GOLDEN GATE

Spanning across the Golden Gate Strait in the San Francisco Bay area, the Golden Gate Bridge is still one of the most beautiful bridges in the world. • After four years of construction that began in 1933, The Golden Gate Bridge was opened to the public on May 28, 1937. With its total cost of 35 million dollars, the bridge was completed under budget and ahead of schedule. • The 1.7-mile-long bridge links San Francisco with Marin County. • The chief engineer was Joseph Strauss, who faced immense opposition in the project’s beginning stages. • Construction was deemed nearly impossible because of the harsh working conditions surrounding the Golden Gate Strait, including swift currents, strong winds that reached up to 60 mph and deep water. Construction also began during the Great Depression. • It is estimated that around nine million people from around the world visit the Golden Gate Bridge each year. • Upon its completion, The Golden Gate Bridge had the longest suspension span in the world, 4,200 feet. This record held until the Verrazano Narrows Bridge was constructed in New York City in 1964. Today, the Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge in Japan has the longest span. • The two towers each rise 746 feet in the air above the water and 500 feet above the roadway. There are 600,000 rivets in each tower. • The bridge has five lanes and charges a $6 cash toll on the south entrance. The toll was 50 cents one-way and $1 round trip on opening day. • On opening day, The San Francisco Chronicle referred to the bridge as a 35 million dollar steel harp. • The Golden Gate Bridge is painted a distinctive orange color, called “International Orange,” not only because it increases visibility for passing ships, but also to serve as an appealing contrast to the cool colors of the ocean and sky. Sherwin Williams currently provides the orange paint. • Painting The Golden Gate Bridge is an on-going task; it protects the bridge from the high salt content in the air that causes rust and corrosion. • Today, the bridge weighs a total of 887,000 tons, less than its original weight of 894,500 tons as a result of new decking material. • Twelve workers lost their lives during the bridge’s construction, way under the estimated 35. This was due in large part to the safety regulations instituted by Joseph Strauss, including hard hats, daily sobriety tests and a large safety net. This net saved the lives of 19 men. • Before the bridge’s construction, the only way to get across the San Francisco Bay was by ferry. The bay became flooded with ferries by the 20th century. • The Golden Gate Bridge can be crossed by automobile, bike or foot. There are many tours available. • Illuminated with 128 lights, the bridge is a spectacular sight at night. Some of the most famous viewing destinations are South Vista Point (the most popular), North Vista Point, Land’s End, Baker Beach and Conzelman Road. • On May 26-27, The Golden Gate Bridge will celebrate its 75th anniversary with The Golden Gate Festival, which will include music, dance, entertainment, arts and exhibits.

June 19th, 2012

December 22– January 19

June 22– July 22 Prudence is required, Cancer. Speed is of the essence, but move too fast, and you will miss something important. Move quickly but carefully.

January 20– February 18 Bold efforts do not go unnoticed. Enjoy, Aquarius. A belief is challenged; don’t back down. Moments alone become too few to count.

July 23– August 22

Brilliant, Capricorn. You see an opportunity and you grab it. An argument erupts. Stay out of it. Nothing good will come of it.

Don’t let a killjoy dissuade you from your goal. It may be lofty, Leo, but it is not impossible. Make a plan of attack and work through it one step at a time.

August 23– September 22

February 19– March 20 Your finances take a real beating this week, Pisces, but not to worry. An investment will pan out. Don’t dismiss the gravity of a young friend’s situation.

Facts turn fiction, and soon, you don’t know what to believe, Virgo. Look to a mentor to sort things out and get to the bottom of the matter.

March 21– April 19 Lean times call for some serious cutbacks. It won’t last forever, Aries. A blast from the past returns with quite the story and a lucrative offer to boot.

September 23– October 22 Travel is on the agenda. Short trip or long, Libra, you will have a great time. An ounce of prevention really is worth a pound of cure when it comes to a personal matter.

April 20– May 20 Art renews connections, social and business. A racy remark gets the conversation going on what was once a taboo subject in your household. Be honest, Taurus.

October 23– November 21 Believe in yourself, Scorpio, and you will make it happen. It really is that simple. A friend undergoes a major transformation. Be supportive.

May 21– June 21 Angle all you want, Gemini, but the time is not right. Focus your efforts on something more attainable. A home improvement project comes to completion.

November 22– December 21 Retirement may not be on your mind right now, but it will be soon when opportunity comes knocking, Sagittarius. Evaluate it from a longterm perspective.

TOOLS 4 LIFE BY DR JIM COYLE Building Trust

Trust is at the core of every relationship. When trust is present, communication flows freely. When trust is broken, “not so much”. Most of us have been part of building trust and destroying trust, sometimes in the same relationship. Building trust is always the better choice and will always lead to healthy consequences. Trust builds bridges. Here are some helpful hints to become a “trustbuilder.” • • • • •

Admit your mistakes and grow from them Be honest all the time not just some of the time Be true to your values and anchor in them Be open and vulnerable in sharing and receiving information Be committed and clear in your convictions

UNITED STATES OF SCIENCE

The United States has been home to a great deal of renowned scientists over the years, each offering their own unique expertise and contributions to society. Below are some of the most famous American scientists and their accomplishments. • Perhaps one of the most famous American scientists and inventors, Benjamin Franklin is credited with discovering electricity, and his inventions include the bifocal lens, lightning rod, carriage odometer and more. • A brilliant scientist and businessman, Thomas Edison is best known for inventing the electric light bulb. Other inventions include the motion picture camera and phonograph. • Research chemist Percy Lavon Julian was a pioneer in the medical field for his work with medicinal drugs synthesized from plants and for producing hormones such as testosterone and progesterone from plant sterols. • Most famous for concocting the recipe for ● Monday $5George burgerWashington baskets 11-8 Carver peanut butter, ● Tuesday $6.99 tacos 11-8 had a fruitful career in improving and/or $4.00 well Margaritas inventing products such 11-8 as axle grease, ● Thursday, Wingsbuttermilk, 4-9 pm instant coffee,$5 Dozen adhesives, ● Sunday All Day plastic Happy Hour! bleach, metal polish, and more. ● All Games In High Definition TVS • Portland, Oregon, native Linus Pauling was an expert in molecular structure and chemical bonds. He has authored more than 350 publications in his field and was named the Humanist of the Year in 1961. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1963. • Famous for his contributions to the space program, Carl Sagan served as an advisor for NASA and solved many space exploration mysteries surrounding planets including Venus and Mars in addition to briefing astronauts before they journeyed to the moon. Sagan received numerous NASA awards including the Exceptional Scientific Achievement Award, Apollo Achievement Award and Distinguished Public Service Award. He also authored numerous best sellers and was awarded the Pulitzer Prize. • American rocketry pioneer Robert Goddard, considered the father of modern rocket propulsion, built the first rocket to use liquid fuel. It wasn’t until 14 years after he died in 1945 that he was awarded a gold medal by Congress. It is said that his first thoughts of rockets came to him while pruning cherry trees as a boy. • Nobel Prize winner Barbara McClintock is one of the most famous American female scientists in the world. She is most recognized for her work and discoveries with chromosomes and genes. She was the first woman to win an unshared Nobel Prize, which she was awarded in 1983 in Physiology or Medicine. • Mesmerized by the stars as a young boy, Clyde Tombaugh first decided to build a telescope because he was dissatisfied with the one he owned. Although he built more than 30 telescopes in his lifetime, Tombaugh is most famous for discovering Pluto. • Although Clyde Tombaugh is credited with discovering Pluto, Astronomer Percival Lowell paved the way for him. Lowell predicted the existence of a planet beyond the orbit of Neptune. He’s also received recognition for his extensive studies on Mars and Uranus. • Before he became a world-class astronomer and mathematician, Benjamin Banneker’s first great feat was building the first striking wooden clock made completely in America. After teaching himself astronomy and advanced math, he went on to publish his almanac, which became an instant best seller.

A: I think you should go ahead and schedule the fireplace cleaning. Worrying about the possibility that the cleaning company will charge you more than usual is silly when you can get a written estimate before they start the work, and compare it to other services in town. Plus, June is a slower season for chimney and fireplace cleaners, compared to fall when homeowners are in a hurry to get their fireplaces ready for the cold weather. The benefit to you is that you can have greater choice of the day and time you want them to come in and service the chimney. They also should be able to spend more time checking your fireplace, chimney and flue for potential dangers, rather than rushing off to the next service call. Some chimney and fireplace service technicians offer discounts at this time of year. Check their website or call the company to ask about any specials they’re running. Again, you have control over how much you’re willing to pay for chimney cleaning service. Ask for a written estimate up front, before allowing any work to be performed. If the chimney cleaner detects a problem, ask for a revised estimate, and don’t let the additional work done until you have agreed on the work and the price.

Q: I told my neighbor I was thinking of hiring a fireplace cleaner -- a chimney sweep, I guess -- this month, and he said I was crazy to schedule one at this time of year because they’ll charge me an arm and a leg. He said I should wait until fall when they’re busier. What do you think? -- Janice C., Syracuse, N.Y.

• Maltese: These tiny spaniels are easy to identify thanks to their long, coats.

• Colombian: This term means different things to different people, depending on how you get your “jones.” Narcotics dealers may refer to their products as Colombian, although the www.IowaSheds.com actual source is often unknown. Luckily, the majority of us prefer a bit of legal Colombian, as in the coffee grown in the South American nation. The prevalence of coffee shops throughout America is proof enough that many of us just can’t get along in the morning without a hot cup of Colombian. • Chinese: The generic term “chinese” now represents types of food that are very different from the meals that are (or ever were) served in China. That said, the same argument could be made about what we consider “American” food. Hamburgers? Ice cream? Hot dogs? Pizza? Our national favorites seem to have originated everywhere except in the United States!

By JoAnn Derson

● To clean out your coffee grinder in order to use it for spices, add about a half-cup of white rice, then pulverize it. Repeat until scent is gone and rice powder comes out clean. June 22nd - July 14th

725 North Center Point Rd., Hiawatha, IA 319-365-6901

● It’s food-smart to separate utensils and cutting boards used for veggies, meats, poultry, etc. Here’s a handy chef’s trick: Color code. Paint a different color stripe down the edge of cutting boards and around the handle of utensils for each variety: green for veggies, yellow for poultry and red for beef. ● Line the bottom of your dog’s food dish (underside) with silicone caulk. Use a crisscross pattern in the center. This will keep the dish from sliding around when your pet eats. ● “If you are painting your ceiling and are bothered by drips, try protecting your eyes with an old pair of swimming goggles. They will keep your eyes safe from drips and splatters, and fumes will be much less bothersome.” -- E.G. in Virginia

● “I needed a hot water bottle for my legs, but I couldn’t find mine anywhere. My husband suggested filling a soda-pop bottle (the 2-liter kind) with hot water and wrapping a towel around it. It worked magically, and I think even better than the regular bottle.” -- C.C. in Iowa
