• There have been a number of television shows and movies that have featured nosey neighbors. Whether putting a glass against the wall to listen to voices in the next room or peeping through a keyhole, there are times when curiosity gets the best of a person and they just want to know what is going on! Examples of these “snoopy” tricks can be found in videos of I Love Lucy, Friends, & Bewitched.

• One of the main characters of the show, Bewitched, was Gladys Kravitz. She was constantly spying on her interesting neighbor, Samantha, who happened to be a witch. When the show was on television in the 1960s and had quite a following, many would refer to their nosey neighbors as having the “Gladys Kravitz syndrome!” • In case you are wondering, nosey can be spelled with or without the “e,” according to thefreedictionary.com. It is an adjective meaning: “offensively curious or inquisitive.” While people can be nosey in the inquisitive way, many animals have superior smelling abilities.

(continued): • One such beast with an extraordinary sense of smell is the bear. A bear’s brain is only about a third of the size of a human brain but his nose is approximately five times larger; the nasal mucous membrane in a bear’s head is 100 times larger than the membrane in a human! Their nostrils have folds that house thousands of smell receptors making their sense of smell better than bloodhounds and possibly the best of any land animal. Bears use their sense of smell to find mates, identify their cubs, find food, and detect and avoid dangerous situations involving other bears or humans. • In California, a black bear was seen traveling upwind in a straight line for three miles to find a dead deer. Some studies have shown that a bear’s sense of smell is actually seven times better than a bloodhound’s. • Speaking of bloodhounds; they are possibly the best detectives known! Their sense of smell is so good that they beat the best man-made odor detecting machines. Even after several days of a person’s trail going through streets, shops and more, a bloodhound can still follow the scent. Some dogs have been trained to detect types of cancer with greater accuracy than very expensive screening equipment. • Detecting scents underwater is what a shark’s brain does well. Approximately two-thirds of a shark’s brain is focused on smell. They can detect a tiny drop of blood from more than a mile away. They can even detect nervousness in other fish, which helps them find and destroy prey very easily. • In many instances humans have better recall of smells than visual recall. One study found a 65% accuracy for smell after a year, while visual recall of photos was below 50% after only three months.

(continued): • Rats can be trained, like dogs, to use their extraordinary sense of smell to help humans in life-saving ways, one of which is to detect land mines. Rats can smell in stereo, with each of their nostrils working independently! • The advantage to using rats instead of dogs for this type of defense work is not just because of dogs’ reputation as “man’s best friend” and the close relationships handlers form with dogs but also because they are cheaper to keep and train. • Giant African pouched rats are used for mine detection by APOPO, an acronym from the Dutch language which means Anti-PersoonsmijnenpOntmijnende ProductpOntwikkeling. In case you don’t speak Dutch, it is translated AntiPersonnel Landmines Detection Product Development. APOPO conducts research and “develops and disseminates detection rats technology for humanitarian purposes.” It is a company registered in Belgium with headquarters in Tanzania. Their rats are called HeroRATs. • Three countries that have been helped with mine detection rats are Tanzania, Mozambique and Thailand. When the land is cleared of landmines, not only does it make an area safer for those living nearby but it also makes the land accessible for use and many times opens up water sources nearby as well. • HeroRATs are also trained for tubercolsis detection. Read about these super smellers at: http://apopo.org/home.php?lang=en. • On to a prettier animal – moths can sniff out a future mate in flight 6-7 miles away. The feathery antennae allow this fine searching ability.

Tools 4 life By DR. Jim coyle The Best Thing for You Pt 3 Figuring out how to forgive can be very difficult, especially when you have been hurt. We have a tendency to hold on to things because we don’t want to open the wound or revisit the pain. The misperception is that if I forgive I am opening myself to future repeats of the same negative treatment. The reality is that by holding on to the pain or offense I am sleeping in the same prison cell with the offense that is tormenting me. These tools will be helpful in your journey to be free from the stress of the past. Look For the Positive - Look for and focus on the benefits you have gotten from a negative situation. Forgiveness is more for me – People don’t need to know that you’ve forgiven them, especially if they are no longer in your life. Express yourself – Write in a journal, letter, and/or a card to release your emotions. Confide in a counselor or friend.

• Bing Crosby called his friend and fellow comedian, Bob Hope, “Old Ski Nose.” Hope’s nose wasn’t especially big but was long and thin and had a bit of a curve up. Many caricatures were drawn of the comic’s nose. Hope joked about his nose saying that “my nose came on screen 10 minutes before the rest of my face.”

(continued): • Snakes use their tongues in a flicking action not just to scare humans and animals, but to smell with. Snakes do have nostrils and nasal cavities but don’t use them to smell. • Most birds have keen eyesight but their sense of smell is lacking. The albatross is an exception. This large bird hovers above the water, usually an ocean, looking for its next meal. An albatross has an extralarge nose on top of its beak. The oversized honker helps an albatross detect food even in the dark. • People with oversized noses tend to have many critics. Some celebrities have actually become famous in part because of their noses. Many refer to their noses as a proboscis, a facetious use of the word that is defined as a trunk of an elephant or a long flexible snout, usually referring to animals. • Jimmy Durante was a very popular entertainer known for his jokes about his nose and a silly song he called Inka Dinka Do he recorded in 1934. A great piano player, jazz musician, band leader and one of the early stars of television, his nickname was Schnozzola, a name he coined himself for his large nose.

Did you see the headlines? Researchers now conclude that taking calcium and vitamin D-3 supplements are ineffective for preventing fractures. It was only recently that they were claiming just the opposite. This research came from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. It now says there is “insufficient evidence” to keep supporting calcium and vitamin D-3 supplements as a way to avoid fractures in pre- and post-menopausal women and in men. The same goes for using supplements greater than 400 IU of vitamin D-3 and greater than 1,000 mg of calcium. While the task force says the supplements don’t prevent fractures, it does think doctors should start screening for vitamin D deficiency. It also concedes that there appears to be “minimal harm” in taking calcium and vitamin D in low doses, and that they are necessary for good bone health. The National Institutes of Health webpage for vitamin D, for example, says that it helps the body absorb calcium, carries messages between the brain and the rest of the body, and helps the immune system fight off bacteria and viruses. Calcium works hand in hand with vitamin D, and additionally helps the body manage hormones and enzymes. Where does that leave us when it comes to deciding about vitamin D and calcium supplements? Right back at square one, as far as I can tell. We need to get these nutrients from our food before we reply on supplements, and we need to consult our doctor before increasing the amount we already take. We need to get out in the sunlight. And to keep our bones strong, we need weight-bearing exercise. Matilda Charles regrets that she cannot personally answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into her column whenever possible.

HARRIET BEECHER STOWE

December 22– January 19

Oh yeah, Capricorn. You played hard, and you won. Remember the journey more than the victory. The hunt for a new opportunity begins.

January 20– February 18

Clever Aquarius. You have a knack for making others feel at ease, and it will come in handy at an after-hours event. Someone in authority will take note.

February 19– March 20

People-pleaser Pisces. Pleasing others is all well and good, but sometimes the best person to please is yourself. You’ve worked hard, and you deserve a reward.

March 21– April 19

Sunny days are here again, Aries. Enjoy them. A financial report turns up some glitches, which can be easily fixed. A question is asked. You don’t have to answer it.

April 20– May 20

Play with fire, Taurus, and you just might get burned. A serviceperson’s misstep turns outs to be a blessing in disguise. Be grateful for what transpires.

May 21– June 21 Ante up, Gemini. Some risks are worth taking, and this is one you don’t want to pass up. A last-ditch effort to save a project works.

June 22– July 22

Crazy Cancer. You like to take on more than you can chew, and this time, it gets you into trouble. Scale back and focus on what is important—doing a good job.

July 23– August 22 Cheer up, Leo. Nothing has gone your way in a very long time, but that is about to change. Enjoy your moment in the spotlight. A deal closes.

August 23– September 22 Gear up for magical times, Virgo, as a loved one whisks you away on the adventure of a lifetime. Throw caution to the wind and let the good times roll.

September 23– October 22

You can certainly dish it out, Libra, but can you take it? Time will tell this week, and you will be surprised at what unfolds. A phone call lets you in on a secret.

October 23– November 21

Savvy Scorpio. You know how to stretch a dollar, and your skills will serve you well this week with a big expenditure. An auto crisis is resolved.

November 22– December 21

You’re a planner, Sagittarius. Be careful you don’t overdo it on an upcoming event. Spontaneity is not necessarily a bad thing. A friend receives a promotion.

• Stowe became a student and then a teacher at Hartford Female Seminary, a school founded by her sister, Catherine. Harriet married Calvin Stowe in 1836 after her short teaching career. Calvin, a teacher and Biblical scholar, welcomed Harriet’s supplemental income writing short stories about domestic life. The royalties she earned allowed her to hire household help to assist with the seven children born to the couple. • In 1850 when threats of seceding from the United States started to rise from the southern states, Harriet Beecher Stowe started writing about the evils of slavery. While she expected to write three or four installments on the subject, she kept writing and the public interest kept growing. Her writing grew and was published as a novel with forty chapters. • In 1852, Stowe’s novel, titled Uncle Tom’s Cabin, was released. It depicted the lives of slaves with Uncle Tom being the first black hero in an American novel. • The book helped to energize anti-slavery forces in the north and incensed the proslavery people from the south. She wrote of the evils of slavery and tried to help her readers understand that slaves suffered and usually lived under cruel ownership. • When he first met Harriet Beecher Stowe, Abraham Lincoln reportedly said, “So you’re the little woman who wrote the book that started this Great War!” (the Civil War) • Stowe reflected in one of her many journals on her purposes for writing her famous novel: “I wrote what I did because as a woman, as a mother I was oppressed and brokenhearted with the sorrows and injustice I saw, because as a Christian I felt the dishonor to Christianity, because as a lover of my country I trembled at the coming day of wrath.” • Even though Stowe meant her novel to be an encouragement and help to African Americans, many, even today, feel that being called an “Uncle Tom” is a terrible slur. Many considered the title character an epitome of submissiveness. • Stowe was ahead of her time in thoughts and actions for equality of the races. She created an integrated school for children and adults in Mandarin, Florida in 1870. The realization of integration would not come about for Americans for fifty or more years • Harriet Beecher Stow wrote many more novels but none of them had as much social or literary impact as Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Her broad interests lead to many publications, ranging from her famous novel to children’s text books, books on homemaking and childrearing advice, biographies and religious studies. • Stowe believed that her writing could make a difference in peoples’ lives. Many of her words did make changes in the world. She will be long remembered as a woman with convictions who tried to make the lives of others better.

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver

● The Taj Mahal, a tomb built by Indian Mogul Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife, Mumtaz Mahal, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most-visited tourist attractions in the world. It wasn’t always so, though; from the time of the building’s completion in 1643 until the British occupied the Indian subcontinent, only Muslims were allowed onto the grounds. If any non-Muslim ventured into the forbidden Taj Mahal, he or she was put to death.

● When putting in new plants, tear tinfoil into strips, then use toothpicks or small stakes to pin them to the ground in your new garden. It will keep the cats out, and can even discourage birds. ● To remove the fat from your pot roast or other slow-cooked meat dish, refrigerate after cooking. The fat will float to the top of the juices and coagulate. Remove this layer of fat and then reheat.

Cedar Rapids, IA – March 20, 2013 – A recent Tidbits drawing winner asked how the Cedar Rapids Community Concert Association worked. “So each show is $35? Or do I pay $35 to join, and then get tickets at a discount?” It’s a fair question. In today’s economy when a movie matinee is at least $7.50 and popular live acts can cost anywhere from $17 to over $100, it’s hard to fathom that top name, live entertainment doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg. But that’s exactly what the Cedar Rapids Community Concert Association provides. For 83 years, the CRCCA offers quality entertainment at a cost everyone can afford. Members get five live, full length concerts for just $35. That’s right – all five concerts for only $35. During the Great Depression, many communities realized that food for the soul is as important as food on the table. By 1940, 335 community concert associations were actively answering that need by raising the funds to secure a season of concerts in advance, rather than hiring the act and then, hopefully, selling enough tickets to pay for it. Each season the CRCCA brings the best entertainment to Cedar Rapids. The CRCCA will announce its 2013-2014 season soon, and at these prices, who wouldn’t want to join? Members can also attend the five Metro Community Concert Association concerts in Cedar Falls. That’s 10 live concerts for only $35. Do the math - $3.50 a show for artists like the Home Free Vocal Band, John Davidson, the Four Freshmen, Dallas Brass, and Riders in the Sky. Cedar Rapids’ best family entertainment value for 83 years, the CRCCA offers quality entertainment at a cost everyone can afford. Get five live concerts for one low price – all five concerts just $35 for general seating, $50 for reserved section, or $70 general section seating for the whole family when purchased before July 20. For more information, ticket & membership details, visit www.crcommunityconcerts.org or call (319)540-2301.

When you stop to “smell the roses,” you are taking the time to enjoy life. This term, an idiom, is one which many of us should stop to consider in this age where information is available instantly with the push of a few computer keys or a smartphone application and we stay too busy and too connected! • Roses have been popular for their beauty and scents for thousands of years. Historical evidence has shown that cultivation of roses most likely started in China. • According to “The Ultimate Rose Bush.” There are three groups of roses: wild roses, old garden roses recognized and established before 1867, and hybrid or modern roses. Hybrids are created when two roses are cultivated to create a new variety or breed. Most new hybrids are bred to create great scents or for blooms that are longer lasting. • With the popularity of rose scents, it is no wonder that an idiom for slowing down in life was spoken many years ago. Rose gardens are great places to relax and reflect. • The White House Rose Garden is quite possibly the most photographed rose garden in the world. President John F. Kennedy started the tradition of holding ceremonies and media events in the garden close to the Oval Office in Washington, D.C. Roses were first planted there in 1913. In 1987, President Ronald Reagan signed a proclamation naming the rose as the official National Floral Emblem of America. • Victoria, British Columbia, at the southern tip of Vancouver Island, on the western coast of Canada, is known as the City of Gardens. Not only does Victoria boast the presence of the beautiful Butchart Gardens, a National Historic Site, but it is also home to Hatley Park. Both have exquisite rose gardens. • Butchart Gardens has 55 acres of flowers with a rose garden among them. The rose garden was first planted in 1922. • Hatley Park, with landscaping design dating back to 1912, is home to Royal Roads University. The 565 acre estate has three showcase areas with a beautiful rose garden as one of the three. In the early days of the estate 100 gardeners were employed to tend the grounds. • The largest rose garden in Asia is in the “garden city” of Chandigarh, India. An annual rose festival is held at Dr. Zakir Hussain Rose Garden where more than 2,000 varieties of roses and 50,000 rose trees bloom annually. It covers 30 acres. • Empress Josephine of France created the rose garden of her dreams in 18th century France. She was the wife of Napoleon Bonaparte and her real name was actually “Rose.” Josephine purchased the Château de Malmaison in 1799. The home and grounds changed hands many times but were donated to the state in 1906. It is now one of the many historical museums in Paris. • The oldest municipal rose garden in the United States is Elizabeth Park in West Hartford, Connecticut. Only two and a half acres, there are about 15,000 roses of approximately 800 varieties. • Portland, Oregon is the home of the “oldest official continuously operated public rose test garden in the United States.” The International Rose Test Garden was founded in 1917. Portland is also the “City of Roses” and has been hosting the Portland Rose Festival for 105 years! • Whether you live near or far from roses and rose gardens, take some time to appreciate the sights and smells of beauty around you!
