by Patricia L. Cook Children who are afraid of the dark often need a small night light to help them overcome their fear. This Tidbits is about small and large lights in the dark as well as neon lights that shine in some pretty fancy ways! • Even on very dark nights, if you let your eyes adjust it is possible for most people to see well enough to walk around. • The moon at night shining in the dark is not actually a light source since it does not produce its own light. The moon is visible because of the sun’s light that bounces off of it back to earth. When we see different phases (or sizes) of the moon it is because the earth revolves around the sun and the moon orbits the earth. The part of the moon that is reflecting depends on the angles or relative positions of the earth, moon and sun. • The earth’s orbit also changes our view of the stars at night even though the stars are in fixed patterns. Astronomers who named many of the stars and constellations (named patterns of stars) years ago gave them Greek and Roman names that are still used today.

• Many children the world over hear a song about the night sky long before they learn to talk. Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star was published by Jane Taylor and her sister, Ann, in England in 1806. Their second book of children’s poems, Rhymes for the Nursery, includes the poem, The Star, written with five verses. Only the first verse is widely sung, with an occasional addition of verse two. • The tune for Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star is actually older than the poem. It originated in France, first seen in print in Paris in 1761. The tune was first associated with a French song, Ah! Vous dirai-je, Maman, which is translated Ah! Will I tell you Mommy. It is still popular with French children. • Another “tune” that came from Paris was the quiet buzz of neon lights. Georges Claude, a chemist, engineer, and inventor was a pioneer in the development of neon lighting. • Neon gas was first discovered in 1898. The word neon was chosen for the gas from the Greek word “neos” which means “new gas.” • Two predecessors to neon lights were the Geissler Moore tubes that used pressurized gas in tubes with electric volts to make colorful lights. When neon was discovered it proved to be a more lasting gas for tube lights. Neon was in short supply until Georges Claude’s company, “Air Liquide,” began producing large quantities. Claude made his first neon light in 1902 and first displayed his invention at the Paris Motor Show in December, 1910, with two 39 foot long bright red tubes of neon light.

Tools 4 life By DR. Jim coyle Knowing your Core Values

Do you ever struggle with knowing what the right thing to do is? When you know what your core values are, your decision making becomes infinitely easier. Our core values give us a definite picture of the kind of person we want to be and the kind of life we want to live. When we are in conflict with our values we lose sleep, become stressed out, and/or become depressed. A person’s values will also determine how they perceive a particular situation. Someone who values “safety” will approach a situation checking for safety versus danger. A person who values ‘excitement’ will have a different perspective on the same situation and will be willing take risks outside of a “comfort zone”. You can see the internal struggle of choices based on core values. The average person makes 10,000 choices a day and each choice reflects some aspect of our value system. Once you have identified your core values, you can identify your purpose in life. www.pastoralcarecentercr.com

• Wamser’s company, Sheet Metal Products, Inc., was started in a rented garage in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and started mass producing signs in the late 1920s. His company, now named Everbrite, is still a worldwide leader in the lighting and branding of companies. • Many of the “neon” signs that dotted the landscapes in North America were not all neon. People use the name “neon” for lights of all colors but actually neon lights are red. Other gases used with neon produce different colors. Argon is most widely used, along with mercury and phosphor. There are now over 150 colors that can be produced. • Neon signs were most popular in the 1950s. By the 1960s neon lights were being replaced with cheaper lighting. • As in fashion, many things of old come back to be popular again. In 1999, the Route 66 Corridor Restoration Act, helped to put neon signs of old back in the public eye. Many of the monuments to the past, including the neon signs that dotted Route 66 were restored and reinstalled. • Artists and historians have not only helped to revive the “retro” looking neon signs in cities and along highways, but “Neon Art” is now considered a art form.

Senior News Line by Matilda Charles

Eat Fish, Live Longer

Seniors older than 65 who have higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids in their blood benefit from reduced mortality risk, specifically from heart disease, according to a study by the Harvard School of Public Health and the University of Washington. The 16-year study gathered information on three specific types of fatty acid: docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which is related to lower risk of death from heart disease; eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), which is linked to lower risk of non-fatal heart attacks; and docosapentaenoic acid (DPA), which is associated with lower risk of stroke death. The study concluded that adults with higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids in their blood: --reduce their overall mortality risk by as much as 27 percent; --lower their risk of dying of heart disease by 35 percent; --can extend their lives an average of 2.2 years. This can be accomplished, the study said, by increasing the level of fatty-acid foods (fatty, oily fish) from little or none to a moderate amount, about two servings per week, or an average of 400 mg per day. Some researchers have declared the study faulty, however, because it didn’t specifically address the consumption of fish. It also excluded participants who took fish oil supplements and concentrated on the levels of fatty acid in the blood. If you’re curious about this study, ask your doctor if it would be appropriate for you to add one or two servings of fish per week to your diet. The types of fish classified as “fatty” include cold-water albacore tuna, trout, salmon, sardines, herring and mackerel. Other ways to get omega-3 include eggs, walnuts and canola oil.

SUSAN B. ANTHONY

December 22– January 19

You become privy to classified information. Guard it with your life, Capricorn. The web of deceit builds at home. Put an end to it before it gets out of control.

January 20– February 18

Save now and buy later is your motto this week, Aquarius. Avoid all impulse buys, especially those on credit. It’s the only way to stay on track.

February 19– March 20

A new face enters the fold. There is no need for alarm, Pisces. It’s a friendly face. Romance hits an all-time high, and travel plans begin to take shape.

March 21– April 19

Conflict comes to a screeching halt at home with the arrival of guests. Thank your lucky stars, Aries. A traipse down memory lane inspires a reunion.

April 20– May 20

Harmony in the workspace provides the momentum needed to clear off desks. Projects get done right and on time. Take everyone out to celebrate, Taurus.

May 21– June 21 Accounting errors here and there land a friend in hot water. Be there for them but be wary of giving them a loan, Gemini. Their reputation precedes them..

June 22– July 22

Spring cleaning begins, and the chore list grows. Divide and conquer, Cancer. Don’t try to tackle it all alone, or you’ll be there next spring.

July 23– August 22 The solution is obvious, but do you have the courage to see it through, Leo? That’s the question that will be plaguing you this week. Only you know.

August 23– September 22 Prepare to dig deep, Virgo. You’ve been avoiding the issue for months, and now it has come to a head. You have no choice but to face up to the problem and fix it.

September 23– October 22

Oh Libra. You’ve had your head in the clouds for far too long. Come back down to earth and get back to work. A matter deserves your attention.

October 23– November 21

Knock-knock, Scorpio. The door of opportunity opens. Don’t answer it unless you’re certain you’re ready. A clash in opinions at work creates a frenzy.

November 22– December 21

Shoot, Sagittarius. Everyone knows how generous you are. It’s ok to be stingy now and then and splurge on yourself. A design project sputters.

• Her parents were actively involved in ending slavery and leading abolitionist were often guests in the Adams’ home. She heard the views of Frederick Douglass, Wendell Phillips and William Lloyd Garrison, active speakers against slavery, often when they visited. • Anthony attended a Quaker school in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and ultimately entered the teaching profession. She became the preceptress, or lady principal, at Canajoharie Academy, in Canajoharie, New York for two years in the late 1840s. At age 26, she earned $110 per year at the academy. • After Anthony left the academy, she went on to speak at teacher’s conventions in New York and Massachusetts, calling for equal educational opportunities at all schools, including colleges and universities.

• Anthony worked as an agent for the American Anti-Slavery Society in 1856, promoting the cause up until the Civil War. She met Elizabeth Cady Stanton and joined with her as a major speaker and contributor to seek more rights for women and end slavery. • Following the Civil War, Anthony focused more on women’s rights. In 1866, with Stanton, she helped establish the American Equal Rights Association. The organization was very vocal in calling for equal rights for all regardless of sex or race. • In 1868, Anthony and Stanton produced a weekly publication, The Revolution, used to promote the cause of women’s rights. The motto for the paper was “Men their rights, and nothing more; women their rights, and nothing less.” • Anthony and Stanton continued working together when founding the National Woman Suffrage Association in 1869. (Suffrage means “the right to vote.”) Anthony spoke around the nation. (This organization merged with a similar one and became the National American Woman Suffrage Association – NAWSA). • Anthony never married. She devoted her life to fighting for the rights of herself as a woman and others, including those of minority races. • Anthony met with President Theodore Roosevelt in 1905, to lobby for an amendment to give women the right to vote. She never gave up – but she never saw the change she worked so hard for, dying in 1906. The 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, giving all adult women the right to vote, was not ratified until 1920. • The U.S. Mint officially released Susan B. Anthony Dollar coins on July 2, 1979, in Rochester, New York, the city where Anthony lived during her most politically active years. Anthony was the first woman to be honored with her likeness on a coin in the U.S. The mint produced 888,842,452 Susan B. Anthony coins, which are either in collectors’ hands or in circulation today.

Susan B. Anthony was a woman ahead of her times in many ways. She held abolitionist views along with her Quaker family and was a part of the “feminist movement” many years before it became a large movement in the 1960s. • Born on February 15, 1820, Susan B. Anthony was the second of eight children born to Daniel and Lucy Anthony in Adams, Massachusetts. Her father owned the local cotton mill until the business failed in the late 1830s. He moved his family several times, ultimately establishing roots in Rochester, New York.

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver

● It was beloved American humorist Will Rogers who made the following sage observation: “Everything is funny as long as it’s happening to somebody else.” ● In 1952, in an otherwise rather uninteresting hockey game, Bill Mosienko, right wing for the Chicago Black Hawks, scored an amazing three goals against the New York Rangers in 21 seconds. ● The venerable diner saw its peak as a place for a casual meal in the late 1940s, when there were around 7,000 of them across the country. Today there are only about 2,000. (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

CONTRAILS

The long white trails of clouds that are formed when airplanes fly across the sky are called contrails. When the “friendly skies” are busy there are many crisscrossing lines. • The word contrail is short for “condensation trail.” Webster’s Dictionary defines contrails as “streaks of condensed water vapor created in the air by an airplane or rocket at high altitudes.” • Contrails are considered “man-made” clouds since they are formed by airplane exhausts. Water vapor condenses and freezes when air around planes and particles (aerosols) from the exhausts hits the cold temperatures present at high altitudes where airplanes fly. • Contrails are formed above 30,000 feet, which is approximately 5-6 miles above the earth where the air is extremely cold; less than -40° F . • An interesting way to think of contrails is to compare when you exhale warm moist air in cold winter temperatures and “see your breath.” The damp, warm air coming from your lungs adds moisture to the air forming condensation. Usually the condensation from your breath evaporates in less than a second. Condensation from jet airplanes, in the form of contrails, can last quite a while, sometimes even for hours if the conditions are right. • Just like natural clouds, contrails are made of water and ice crystals. Depending on air conditions, contrails can last only a few minutes and be fairly small or they can grow miles long and remain visible for hours. The tiny moisture droplets in contrails freeze instantly and can’t evaporate or melt. They eventually fade away in what is called “sublimation,” when the solid particles turn to gas. It is the same situation as when dry ice ‘dissolves’ back into the air. • The first recorded spotting of a contrail happened over Italy in 1915 by a man named Ettenreich who said, “the condensation of a cumulus stripe from the exhaust gases of an aircraft” was visible for a while in the sky. • Real interest in contrails and more published reports came about during World War II. It was at that time that more aircraft were produced and used in combat that had the ability to reach high altitudes. • Hundreds of aircraft working together over Europe generated so many contrails that formations were hard to keep and targets hard to find. On the contrary, positions could be spotted by the enemy making aircraft vulnerable to enemy attack. • H. Appleman, an American scientist, in 1953, and E. Schmidt, a scientist in Germany, independently studied contrails and developed the theory of contrail formation, called the Schmidt-Appleman Criterion that is still accepted today. • The accepted theory of the two scientists “showed that the threshold temperature depended on the ambient pressure, temperature and humidity outside of the aircraft, and on the ratio of water vapor and heat released into the atmosphere by the aircraft exhaust.” Appleman published a chart that is used to determine if and when aircraft produce contrails. • One of the biggest events that allowed scientists to observe the absence of contrails happened after the attacks on America on September 11, 2001. The skies were cleared of traffic, except for a few military aircraft, for approximately 2 days. Even after these observations, there is still not a definitive answer among scientists about the effects of contrails on the environment.
