Come along with Tidbits as we consider the marvel of engineering called the human foot! • With 26 bones, 114 ligaments and 20 muscles, a foot is an amazing invention. A quarter of the bones in the human body are located in the feet. (Add in the bones in the hand, and that accounts for fully half of our bones.) Feet need to be structural marvels. • Consider that the average adult travels around 1,000 miles a year on foot, taking about 10,000 steps per day. A typical 70-yearold human will have walked a distance equivalent to going around the circumference of the earth four times. The feet strike the ground 17,000 times in a 20 mile marathon run, but even a mile of gentle walking subjects the feet to about 80 tons of weight. Feet must be sturdy. • Although 98% of us are born with healthy feet, 80 out of 100 Americans develop foot problems during their lifetime. At any given moment, about 30 million Americans suffer from foot problems, ranging from corns and ingrown nails to club feet and fallen arches.

Of Linn County

A young and foolish pilot wanted to sound cool on the aviation frequencies. So, this was his first time approaching a field during the nighttime. Instead of making any official requests to the tower, he said: "Guess who?" The controller switched the field lights off and replied: "Guess where?" Delivering Smiles Every Day

• High heels prevent the ankles from absorbing their normal share of the force of walking, shunting it instead to the toes. A three-inch heel puts more than seven times the pressure on the forefoot than a flat shoe. This promotes many foot ailments such as bunions, hammer toes, and neuroma, which is a painful thickening of the nerve that connects the toes. A study of 3,000 surgeries performed on the forefoot found that 87% of the bunion surgeries, 81% of hammer toe surgeries, and 89% of the neuroma surgeries were done on women’s feet. • High heels also affect the knees. A study published in the British medical journal The Lancet showed that high heels cause strain and pressure on the joint that joins the kneecap and the underlying thigh bone. The rotational forces on the inner part of the knee joint were 23 percent higher when women participating in the study walked in heels than when they walked barefoot. • Surprisingly, the big toe has only two bones, while the rest of the toes have three. Although nearly every bone in the body has an official name, one exception is the toe bones. They are known only as “metatarsal digits #1-5.” A fourth-year medical student at Yale decided to undo the injustice by bestowing names on the toes. He called them porcellus fori, porcellus domi, porcellus carnivorus, porcellus nonvoratus, and porcellus plorans domun. In Latin, these names translate as little pig at market, baby pig at home, meat-eating piglet, small pig that has not eaten, and piggy crying all the way home. Some orthopedic surgeons have picked up his names, but doctors have not yet gone hog wild over the idea. • The measuring device in shoe shops is called a Brannock Device, after the inventor who designed it in the 1920s. The firm is still going strong.

Tools 4 life By DR. Jim coyle Words are Powerful

Do you remember when you were taught the famous comeback as a kid: “sticks and stones may break my bones…..…………?” WRONG. “Handle them carefully, for words have more power than atom bombs.” -Pearl Strachan I’m sure you have been the recipient of words of wisdom, words of encouragement, and/or words of praise. I am also sure you’ve been the recipient of condescending words, words that hurt, words that destroy our spirit, or words that make us angry. Here are three ways we can choose to use words to benefit us and others. • •

•

Words Received – Words can help us. “Fools think their own way is right, but the wise listen to others .Proverbs 3:15 Words Spoken – Words can have a positive influence. “Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.” Ephesians 4:29 Words Unspoken – Be quiet. “Keep your mouth shut and you will stay out of trouble.” Proverbs 21:23

FEET FACTS (continued):

• Not surprisingly, the place on the body where the skin is thickest is the heel of the foot, where it’s about 1/16th of an inch thick. Compare that to the thinnest skin on the body— the eyelids— at 2/1000 of an inch. Although the heel is the area on the body that is least sensitive to pain, it’s also the sweatiest area. The 125,000 sweat glands in a single foot can excrete as much as half a pint of sweat per day. Research done at the University of Miami centered on foot odor. How does a research team study foot odor? First you get a bunch of volunteers to sit with their feet in plastic bags. Then you have the laboratory staff sniff the feet. They discovered that people with foot odor had large numbers of a certain bacteria on their bodies— the same type of bacteria found in Limburger cheese. They also discovered that antibiotics can reduce the number of bacteria, and thus improve the smell of feet. Why some people carry large amounts of this bacteria and others don’t is still unknown, but is under investigation. It could be differences in a person’s sweat or pH balance. Since it’s not a good idea to take antibiotics to reduce odor, this valiant research team is now trying to find ways to keep bacteria from sticking to the skin, to prevent bacteria from getting a “foothold.” Around 80 million Americans suffer from smelly feet. • One company called Sweet Feet combated foot odor with scented socks. Impregnated with various scents such as powder, citrus, strawberry, and peach, the footsie socks threw off a long-lasting fragrance. The odor remained even through many launderings and the socks cost about $20 per pair.

FOOT BINDING

• The only thing worse for feet than high heels was the Chinese practice of footbinding. A young girl’s feet were wrapped with a bandage ten feet long, strapped in a figure eight around the foot and ankle. It was tightened daily and pulled so taut that the four smallest toes were forced under the foot, breaking the bones. The bones in the arch of the foot would also break, forcing the arch into a sharp inverted “V” shape. Every two weeks the girl was given a pair of shoes two tenths of an inch smaller than the previous pair. Infection often resulted, sometimes followed by gangrene, amputation of toes, and even death. After two years, the ideally deformed foot fit a shoe only four inches long, and would proudly be called “lotus feet” or “lily feet.” Because women with lily feet could only put weight on their heels and couldn’t walk without pain, they hobbled with a mincing step which men considered charming. No one knows why the custom became habit, though it’s conjectured that the practice was popular because it prevented unhappy wives from running away. The practice began with the higher classes in order to prove that the family was so rich that the daughters didn’t need to work. However, a majority of lowclass girls had their feet bound anyway in the hopes that they would find a high-class marriage. Only the most poverty-stricken families, whose daughters needed to work in the fields, failed to follow the practice. Beauty in the feet was considered more important that beauty in the face. Foot-binding was the norm in China for a thousand years, until being outlawed in the Revolution of Sun YatSen in 1911. A 1997 study of elderly women in Beijing who had suffered from foot binding in their youth found they tended to fall easily, were often unable to rise from a chair without help, could not squat, and had higher rates of osteoporosis. (That's not very surprising)

A recent report to Congress by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau details the many problems seniors have in determining whether financial advisers are genuine. The long title of the report was “Senior Designations for Financial Advisers: Reducing Consumer Confusion and Risks of the Broker or the Investment Adviser.” It focuses on the special credentials that are used to market senior financial services. Here are a few examples: At least 50 different “senior designation” credentials are used to market advisers’ services, all designed to confuse us. Some of those titles and acronyms sound similar to others or imply a legitimacy that isn’t real, such as “Registered Senior Investment Adviser.” The report says that “all too often, these are just clever marketing ploys to bait the hook.” Those senior designation credentials give the impression that advisers have specialized training or expertise in dealing with the finances of seniors. The report notes that there’s a big difference between a collegelevel course and a weekend seminar. There’s no oversight or enforcement for the use of those designations. Another study showed that, unfortunately, seniors are more likely to rely on someone who uses one of those senior designations. Seniors are the targets of financial marketing, since it’s assumed we have loads of retirement savings, inheritance money and equity. We’re invited to “free lunch” seminars, which are ways to get us in one place to sell us financial products. To get help if you question the “senior designations” you’re shown, call the CFPB at 855-411-2372.

JEANA YEAGER

December 22– January 19 Look out, Capricorn. A blowout is about to occur, and for once, it will not involve you. Step in and play mediator only if need be. A deadline is moved up.

January 20– February 18

A reversal in opinions makes everyone at work sigh in relief. You dodged a bullet, Aquarius. Invite the gang over for a little celebration. A plea at home gets louder.

February 19– March 20

Indecision at work impedes progress. Gather the team for a little pep talk. You won’t believe what it does for your spirits, Pisces. A package arrives.

March 21– April 19

A good friend rebounds, and you have much to celebrate. Invite them out for dinner, Aries. Words are exchanged at home, and the cat is out of the bag!

April 20– May 20

Freedom comes at a price. Remember those who have sacrificed, Taurus. A mix-up in communication at home gets tempers flaring. Ease the tensions with a day out.

May 21– June 21 A relative is on the mend, and you are responsible. Transfer your caring skills to another, Gemini. An agreement among friends begins to unravel.

June 22– July 22

Settle down, Cancer. A loved one really does have your best interest at heart. Hear what they have to say, but don’t heed it. A health crisis ends.

July 23– August 22 Stay low, Leo. Too many things are happening right now for you to take any unnecessary risks. A home improvement project ends with a bang.

August 23– September 22 A change in ownership is no cause for anxiety, Virgo. What’s done is done. Do your best to keep your emotions in check and your nose to the grindstone.

September 23– October 22

Breathe, Libra, breathe. Your coworker is not out to get you. They want to help, and you could use their help. Two heads are better than one.

October 23– November 21

Cat got your tongue, Scorpio? Good. Too many opinions have been expressed as is. Keep yours to yourself until a more opportune time arises.

November 22– December 21

Seriously, Sagittarius. You can pitch a fit all you want, but nothing is going to get done this week. The timing is not right. Next week will be a different story.

• In 1980, she met Dick Rutan at an air show in California, where he was a featured aerobatic flyer. Rutan and his brother ran their own aircraft company, designing new planes. Rutan hired Yeager to work with him, and they later fell in love. Over the next several years, she set several speed records as a test pilot for the planes Rutan was designing. • In 1981, Yeager and Rutan began working to design a plane that could circle the globe without landing or refueling. Yeager named the plane Voyager. Because it was a private endeavor, the plane was built using volunteer labor and donations. As it was being designed and constructed, Yeager underwent extensive training in ocean navigation and communications, expanded her flying credentials, and became one of the first civilians ever to complete an Air Force water survival training course.

• On December 14, 1986, the Voyager took off from Edwards Air Force Base in California, with Yeager and Rutan stationed in a cockpit about the size of a telephone booth. The wings, which were heavily loaded with fuel, scraped the pavement upon take-off and were damaged, but not badly enough to abort the mission. Traveling across the Pacific and Indian Oceans, over Africa, and then across the Atlantic before crossing the U.S., the flight was full of peril. They used much fuel avoiding a hurricane. • Libya refused to allow access to air space, requiring an unexpected detour. A fuel pump failed mid-flight causing an engine to shut down. Moreover, the craft was extremely difficult to fly. Unstable in the air, it required constant attention to keep it aloft. Constant engine noise left both pilots with hearing damage by the end of the flight, and chronic fatigue dogged their every moment. • Nine days after it had taken off, Voyager landed at Edwards Air Force, having traveled 26,366 miles at an average elevation of 11,000 feet. Whereas 3,500 people had been on hand to see them take off, about 55,000 people showed up to see them land, along with 23 news cameras. Yeager and Rutan had traveled 28,000 miles at an average speed of 116 mph. When they landed, they had eight gallons of fuel to spare, enough to have taken them only another 100 miles. • From a record standpoint, Rutan and Yeager became the first aviators to circumnavigate the globe nonstop, without landing or refueling in mid-flight. They also endured the longest flight up to that time, doubling the previous flight record for distance. President Ronald Regan awarded them with Presidential Citizen Medals of Honor, which had been bestowed only 16 times previously. They also received the Collier Trophy, aviation’s highest honor, and many other prestigious awards. • After the flight, Rutan and Yeager went on an extensive speaking tour in an attempt to raise enough money to pay off some of the debts incurred during the mission. • The Voyager is now displayed in the Smithsonian Institute next to other historic aircraft. Unfortunately, the relationship between Yeager and Rutan ended shortly after their historic flight, and they went their separate ways.

THE FICTIONAL MAJOR MARTIN

• In World War II, the Allied forces decided to start retaking Europe by wresting the island of Sicily out of the hands of the Axis. British Naval Intelligence concluded that enemy forces needed to be misled into believing the Allies were planning on storming the nearby island of Sardinia. Axis troops would be massed there, leaving Sicily unprotected. The question was how to fool the Germans. Thus was born one of the more unusual plots of World War II. The plan was to find a corpse, outfit it with fake ID, plant important documents on it that divulged the “secret” plans to invade Sardinia, then put it where the Germans would find it. • Allied operatives in charge of the project secured the body of a soldier who had died of pneumonia. They made up fake ID papers which named him as Major William Martin. Two letters from Major Martin’s “girlfriend” named Pam were handwritten and placed in his pocket, along with a snapshot of a woman. In the letter she talked about their upcoming wedding, and they placed a bill from a jewelry store for an engagement ring in the billfold. A bill for an overnight stay at the Naval and Military Club was included, dated the day before the Major was to meet his unfortunate “death.” His pockets were filled with coins, keys, a pencil, cigarettes, matches, and theater ticket stubs. A watch was placed on one wrist. An ID tag was placed on a chain around his neck. A wallet in his back pocket contained two pictures of “Pam,” a book of stamps with two missing, and some money. Then they attached a briefcase to his body with a chain of the same type bank messengers use when carrying valuables. This would prevent the briefcase from floating away from the body, as well as alerting the Germans to the importance of the corpse. • Fake letters from high ranking officers were placed in the briefcase. The letters discussed how it could be possible to make the Germans believe the next attack would be on Sicily, leaving Sardinia unprotected. • Next they had to get the body to the Germans, by making it appear as if his plane crash-landed into the sea. They knew that a German secret agent was stationed at Huelva, Spain. So they commissioned a submarine to carry the body to the coast of Huelva and release it. The body was packed in dry ice to prevent decomposition on the submarine. Major Martin was wrapped in a life jacket before being released to be sure the body would float. The plan kicked into action. • A Spanish fisherman found the body. Military officers were summoned. A Naval officer took the briefcase and all personal documents. A doctor, finding fluid in the lungs (due to pneumonia) announced that the death had been due to drowning. The body was turned over to British diplomats, and they arranged a military funeral. “Pam” sent flowers for the grave. The British asked that Major Martin’s briefcase be returned, and eventually it was. But examination showed that all the “secret” documents had been removed and then replaced. • German officials forwarded copies of the documents all the way up to Hitler. German troops went to reinforce Sardinia. Submarines moved out of Sicilian waters. • On July 10, 1943, the Allies invaded Sicily incurring only slight losses. Even after the invasion started, the Germans were convinced it was not a legitimate attack but merely a diversionary tactic. Allies liberated Sicily in only 39 days and used it as a springboard for the invasion of Italy. Major Martin served his country well.
