TIDBITS® LOOKS AT THE MICROWAVE OVEN
by Janet Spencer The microwave oven revolutionized cooking in the 20th century. Over 90% of American homes have at least one. • Many of today’s products and technology are the by products of discoveries during WWII and the microwave oven is one of them. In 1946, an engineer named Percy Spencer worked for the Raytheon Corporation in Massachusetts - the largest manufacture of the magnetron (a vacuum tube that produces microwave radiation), used to make radar systems operate. • America and it’s allies desperately needed stronger radar systems with a longer reach to detect the enemy from further away. Spencer’s assignment was to improve this technology. • On one particular day in the research lab, Spencer made a surprising discovery that would revolutionize cooking. While standing near a magnetron, he felt heat radiating from the tube and noticed the chocolate bar in his pocket had melted. turn the page for more!

MICROWAVE OVEN (continued): • Wondering if in fact the high frequency radio waves emitting from the magnetron had heated up the chocolate, he placed a handful of popcorn kernels near the device to see what would happen. He watched in amazement as the corn began to pop. After further experiments, he realized that microwaves cook foods, and fast. Much faster than conventional ovens that cook with heat. • The Raython company knew the war was coming to an end and needed to develop new products for the peace time economy. Upon learning what Spencer had discovered, Raython CEO, Lawerence Marshall, put Spencer in charge of taking this military technology and turning it into a household appliance. • Spencer designed an enclosed metal box with an opening just small enough to supply microwave energy to it. Food placed inside the box heated rapidly and cooked in no time at all. The idea of cooking with microwaves was patented by Raytheon in 1946. • By 1947, the first commercial microwave oven was manufactured. This large oven was housed in a refrigerator sized cabinet, standing 5ft 11 in (1.8 meters) and weighing 750lbs (340 kilograms). It used a radar quality magnetron putting out 3000 watts of power. The design needed special plumbing to water cool the magnetron. The oven cooked so fast the company dubbed it “stop watch cooking.” A well done steak would cook in 50 seconds. • Wanting to manufacture a smaller, less powerful oven for the general public, Raytheon acquired the Amana company in 1965, and in 1967 they introduced the first popular home model, the countertop Radarange, with a price tag of US$495.
• Add a cinnamon stick or softener sheet to your vacuum bag when you change it. As you clean, you will distribute the good smell throughout your home. • To ripen a green tomato, wrap it in a sheet of newspaper or place it in a paper bag. It can then be left on the counter for several days to ripen. • “Need to remove fruit or food coloring stains on your hands or your countertop? White vinegar will clean it off. It’s good for so many things.” -- R.N. in Washington • “Instead of baking soda, I use three or four charcoal briquettes in a bowl to control odor and moisture in my refrigerator. I place the briquettes in a shallow dish, then cover the top of the bowl with a small piece of cheesecloth and secure it with a fat rubber band. The best thing is that I can still use these briquettes on the grill. In the summer, they get changed very regularly.” -- M.L. in Virginia • Great ways to remove stuck labels: nail polish remover (NOT for use on plastics), WD40 oil, soaking in hot water, rubbing alcohol. • Have a stained coffee pot, but don’t want to use a harsh chemical cleanser to scrub that stain off? For gritty cleaning power, try using a tablespoon of milk and a tablespoon of salt. The salt gives you scrubbing power, and the milk’s acids help gently dissolve the stains.

TIDBITS of Kootenai County, Idaho Issue #23 June 7th 2021 MICROWAVE OVENS (continued): • •The technology used in a microwave oven to cook food is with the use of high frequency radio waves (electromagnetic wave energy) trapped in a metal box, transmitted by a magnetron. The waves penetrate food, exciting water, fat and sugar molecules causing them to vibrate at such a high velocity, the friction creates heat, which cooks the food. • When using electromagnetic waves to heat and cook food, certain precautions should be taken. Let’s look at a few safety measures when using a Microwave oven: • Because microwaves excite a foods molecules, not all these molecules heat at the same rate. This is how microwaved food can end up with hot and cold spots. In poultry, meat and eggs the cold spots may not be taken above the temperature required to kill bacteria. One solution is covering food with a vented lid. This method builds up hot steam under the lid, raising the temperature enough to kill any bacteria and helps cook food more evenly. A meat thermometer can also be used to ensure that food is cooked to the right temperature. • Microwaves can heat your body by adding thermal energy to the water molecules in you. This heating can be damaging if it’s not controlled. Most of your body is protected from slow heating because blood carries heat away from any local hot spots, but the cornea of the eye has no cooling blood flow making it prone to overheating when exposed to microwave radiation so it’s important not to use a microwave if the door doesn’t shut properly, or the protective screen in the glass is torn. The door keeps the energy inside, where it needs to stay!

When anything is put into the water it suddenly erupts - spitting water everywhere which can result in sever burns. • Solid foods cooked in the microwave can build up pressure (in the form of steam), from the water molecules heating to a boil. When the steam escapes, it can causes food to pop and explode. This pressure can continue to escape even after the microwave turns off. It is advisable to let food stand in the microwave for one minute before removal to avoid burns. • Plastic containers should not be used in the microwave unless they are marked microwavable safe. Glass is preferable. Never use plastic wrap as a cover - it melts and contaminates the food with plastic toxins. • Metal can produce dangerous arcing in a microwave oven so don’t put metal objects, containers or cooking utensils in the microwave. Also don’t use cups or plates with metal decorations, recycled paper products (they may contain metal fragments), Styrofoam cups, aluminum foil, twist ties and ceramics with a lead based glaze. • Never operate a microwave without food or liquid inside. If your oven is empty and there is nothing to absorb the microwave energy, (glass and microwavable containers don’t absorb microwaves) the energy can feed back to the microwave oven itself. This can permanently damage the magnetron. • A Microwave should be taken to a recycling center for disposal. Some of the metal can be reused. Depending on how old the microwave is, the magnetron may contain a small amount of beryllium oxide which is a known carcinogenic.

By Lucie Winborne • The word hundred is derived from the word “hundrath,” which actually means 120 and not 100. • New Yorkers went through a bizarre phase of wearing chameleons as living ornaments in 1894. They were fastened to cushions, scarves and women’s bodices with tiny chains and collars as little “jeweled playthings,” but thankfully the trend was shut down by the SPCA, which banned their sale -- though not until over 10,000 of the creatures were already running loose in the city. • The microwave was invented after a researcher walked by a radar tube and a chocolate bar melted in his pocket. • Any photo you’ve ever seen of the Milky Way from space is either of another galaxy or an artist’s rendition, since we’re inside the galaxy and can’t take an aerial view. • Kangaroos hop because their leg structure doesn’t permit them to walk independently. • A 6-year-old Chinese boy named Ming Ming fell from an eight-story window, only to catch his ears in a metal grate, thereby saving his life. • In 2019, the Wendy’s fast-food chain released a tabletop board game titled “Feast of Legends.” It’s played in a similar fashion to Dungeons and Dragons, with Wendy as the Queen and main character. • Bananas are a natural source of radioactive isotopes. Just a few can often trigger radiation sensors used at U.S. ports to detect smuggled nuclear material. • The Sistine Chapel contains a small side room nicknamed the “Room of Tears.” This is where the new Pope is taken after winning the election, to relieve the emotion of that process.

FEELING THE BLOAT
Gas and bloating can be uncomfortable and embarrassing. While there are some serious medical conditions that have side effects of bloating, most causes we can control. While the terms “bloating” and “water retention” are often times used interchangeably, they are not the same. While both can feel uncomfortable pressure in the abdomen, water retention involves excess fluid accumulation which resolves when taking diuretics. But likely, your bloating may be the result of either faulty digestion or dietary choices. Let’s review both: Anybody can be sensitive to any foods. Part of good detective work is finding out what foods are tolerable in your body, and which create havoc. For some people they do not handle sucrose, for others it’s fructose. High sucrose foods include puddings, dark chocolate, cereals, fresh fruits, pancakes, cookies, cakes, fruit juice, etc. High fructose foods include sugary drinks, high fructose corn syrup, molasses, agave, dried and fresh fruits, yogurt, baked goods, fast foods, etc. In general, a high carbohydrate meal is one of the greatest reasons for bloating. Some people can’t handle lactose, dairy, while others can’t tolerate the foods known for contributing to gas: beans, fiber, broccoli, cabbage and other cruciferous vegetables. When eating lots of fiber, be sure your water intake is high, which typically reduces the fiber-caused gas. Gluten sensitivity and/or Celiac Disease can certainly be a big contributor to gas and bloating.
Since these can also damage delicate digestive tissues, ruling out gluten as an irritant to your body is a wise choice. From a digestive system standpoint: a deficiency in digestive enzymes, particularly in hydrochloric acid (HCL) is a primary cause of gas, bloating and food sensitivities. If you are eating too fast or while stressed, digestive enzymes are suppressed and food has to ferment in order to break down sufficiently to move out of the stomach. That fermentation causes gas and bloating. Also, eating too fast can result in swallowing air or eating too much food, both of which can also contribute to that yucky full feeling. Disturbances in intestinal health also need to be checked into. Constipation due to eating the wrong foods, lack of fiber or water in the diet or from loss of mechanical movement of the colon allows food to sit in the colon too long, furthering the bloat. Bacterial overgrowth either because of chronic small intestine bowel disease (SIBO), antibiotic use, or imbalance in the healthy gut bacteria due to a number of reasons, can lead to this discomfort. While just ruling out the above and eliminating the offending foods or drinks will help the majority of people, if there is fever, intense pain, vomiting (not associated with flu), bloody stools, or a physical injury prior to the onset, seek immediate medical care to rule out something more serious. As is generally the case, with good investigative work, and logical actions, we can remedy gas and bloating, now!

Career Retraining
If you’ve lost your job due to the pandemic, to the extent that you know you need a different career, the Department of Veterans Affairs might be able to help. The Veteran Rapid Retraining Assistance Program is in place and accepting applications for education and training from veterans who are out of work. There are a number of qualifications for eligibility: Over age 22 but not older than 66, out of work because of COVID, not eligible for GI Bill or VR&E benefits (or you transferred your GI Bill benefits to family members), not disabled, not in a federal or state jobs program, and not getting unemployment (including CARES ACT benefits). The education and training offered covers VET TEC (Veteran Employment Through Technology Education Courses) at the associates degree level, non-college degree, or certificate level. These courses are accelerated and are in fields such as health care, education, media, engineering and high-tech. The VA, working with the Department of Labor, came up with a list of 208 potential careers that can spring from those high-demand occupations, ranging from electrical and mechanical engineers to web developers and graphic designers to commercial drivers, carpenters and machinists. Plus cost estimators, special-ed teachers and clergy. If you’re eligible, you can get up to 12 months of tuition and a monthly housing allowance. There is a specific list of schools that have been accepted into the program, although that list is very long. The caveat: If you’re considering this, don’t delay. There’s a time limit (December 2022), a money limit in funding and a participant limit of 17,250 veterans. Once one of those is reached, no further applications will be accepted. Call the VA at 888-442-4551 with questions. Or go online to va.gov and put Veteran Rapid Retraining Assistance Program (VRRAP) in the search box for the whole list of potential careers and the schools. (c) 2021 King Features Synd., Inc.

Photo Credit: The Asylum/Syfy FilmsPhoto Caption: Ian Ziering in “Sharknado 4”
-The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicts another surging storm season for 2021, with a whopping 13-20 named storms and three to five major hurricanes in the Gulf and Atlantic. The hurricane season started officially on June 1, although we’ve already had a named storm in the Atlantic in May. Are you making preparations? Along with medicines, canned food, water and flashlights for that inevitable power failure, grab some DVDs to prepare for an internet outage. Need some inspiration? How about 2012’s “Alien Tornado” -- featuring electrical windstorms and an unusual group of heroes that includes a farmer and a blogger? Or 2010’s “Burning Bright,” in which a girl and her autistic brother are trapped in their house during a hurricane -- with a man-eating tiger that was purchased by their no-good dad! Here are some more mainstream choices: “Crawl” (R) -- Haley (Kay Scodelario) is a small-town Florida girl sitting in the track of a monster hurricane. Under evacuation orders, she find her dad trapped in the crawlspace of his home. Injured and vulnerable, the rising waters threaten their lives -- but that’s not even the worst thing. There, in the brackish maelstrom, lurk giant alligators. “The Perfect Storm” (PG-13) -- A tropical storm meets cold front, creating 100-foot waves that pound a fishing boat in the North Atlantic in this terrifying true tale of the Andrea Gail, starring George Clooney and Mark Wahlberg. “Sharknado” through “The Last Sharknado: It’s About Time” (NR) -- Whether you indoctrinate with the original, featuring the City of Angels under siege, or skip with to the sixth and final installment, relax with hero Ian Ziering as Fin Shepard. This tragedy of cheese keeps giving and giving. “Adrift” (PG-13) -- Shailene Woodley and Sam Claflin star in a tale of disaster, resilience and romance on the (literally) high seas. In the path of their yacht sailing from Tahiti to San Diego, a category 5 hurricane develops, which they miraculously survive. Against all odds and adrift in the middle of nowhere, they must survive. It’s inspirational nightmare that is based on a true story. “Hours” (PG-13) -- Paul Walker plays Nolan, a young father whose wife gives birth to a baby girl just hours before Hurricane Katrina hits New Orleans. The mother dies, the baby is struggling and requires a ventilator as the hospital loses power and staff. Nolan is left alone to fend for his child, keeping her alive by hook or crook. It’s surprisingly poignant for a thriller, with Nolan overcoming an endless string of adversities. “Geostorm” (PG-13) -- A series of natural disasters prompt scientists to develop a satellite protection system that basically shuts down bad weather. But things go haywire, as they sometimes do, and satellite designer Jake Lawson (Gerard Butler) is sent through the back door of the space station to figure out what’s what.
Remembering War Dogs
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: During Memorial Day week, I wanted to bring your readers’ attention to the service and sacrifice of the thousands of dogs who went to war with their soldiers. Many did not come home, because they either died during operations or were left behind. Please take a few minutes this week to remember these four-footed warriors -- Jim W., Chattanooga DEAR JIM: Request received! Thank you for calling attention to the sacrifices of military working dogs. The U.S. armed forces has had a military dog program since World War II. These canine warriors help detect mines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs), provide security on bases and much more. Between 2001 and 2013, over 2,600 “war dogs” were deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq. In that time, at least 92 are known to have died, the majority in combat. However, in all this time, there was no militarywide tracking system of its injured war dogs. How often were they injured or killed? What were their injuries like? How did they fare after their service? Data that would be helpful in treating other injured war dogs was being lost. In January, funding was passed for a Military Working Dogs Trauma Registry (for details, go to www.avma.org and search for “working dogs, combat injuries”). Veterinarians will be able to consult the registry to learn more about war dog combat injuries and better ways to treat them. Injured war dogs will have a better chance of survival. Retired dogs will be able to get more effective treatment for their wounds. This legislation is a huge, active step toward truly honoring the sacrifices of military working dogs and can help even more of them come home.

Seniors’ Perspectives Enhance our Families, our Communities, our Lives! By Matilda Charles
What You Can Do About Rising Food Prices
The primary joy of working in Assisted Living is, without a doubt, the loving positive impact of the residents of all faiths and backgrounds on my heart. Today was no exception. A lovely resident asked me to read a story she wrote of her personal experience. It seems important to share it with you… “Road Rage” (Written by Barbara Powell with Deeann Chisholm) God has a purpose for our lives. Our purpose will always involve bringing His love and mercy to a hurting and dying world. If we watch, we will see opportunities to fulfill our purpose. Road rage is one sign that people are becoming angrier and feeling more out of control of their lives and environments. Wild and reckless driving, obscene gestures and outright physical violence cause terror for other drives and pedestrians. The rage spreads like a virus as one person responds to another person’s violence in an equally violent way. We all have places we need to go and be at certain times. Sometimes we underestimate the amount of time it takes to get somewhere and drive a bit more aggressively than we normally would. We cut off the person who seems to be moving too slowly; we tailgate, run red lights and stop signs, and exceed the speed limit. We are misbehaving, hoping that we can get away with it. As a senior citizen, I am more and more aware that I have to be very careful and watch what I am doing. It is very easy to make mistakes that could cause an accident, as my friend and I recently learned. After a wonderful dinner one night, my friend, Sandy, and I had just gotten on a street when we witnessed an accident. A woman in a sedan assumed that she was at a four way stop. She pulled out and broadsided a pickup truck. The pickup truck had the right of way. There were two young children in the club cab. The man jumped out of his truck and began screaming at the woman. He then pulled his children from the cab and examined them for injuries. After assuring himself that they were uninjured, he placed them back into the truck. He then got into his truck and pulled it around to a parking area. The woman just sat in her car. She was obviously stunned. Again the man approached her car and ordered her to move her car out of traffic into the parking area. His anger was intense but controlled. I said, “Sandy, I think this is our call.: She pulled around the corner into the parking lot. We parked next to the two vehicles. I said, “I’ll take the woman, Sandy, you take the kids.” The woman was standing outside her car, very upset and crying. She said over and over, “I didn’t do it on purpose. I wouldn’t hurt your children. I love children. I am in an unfamiliar area. I thought this was a four way stop. I am so sorry. I am so sorry.” I wrapped both of my arms around the woman. Sandy went to the children and wrapped her arms around them and spoke calming words to them. A five-year old told me once, “we all make mistakes!” With this memory, I repeated the wise words of the five-year old to the distressed woman. “It’s okay. We all make mistakes.” After the accident had cleared, the man came to where we were standing. He said to the woman, “I’m so sorry that I yelled at you.” He put his arm around her and gave her a hug. That evening God’s will was for us to bring His love and mercy into that stressful situation. We were to be a calming presence for the concerned father, his children, and the frightened young woman. Our response to God’s question, “Who can I send? Who will go?” should always be, “Here I am, Lord. Send me.”
According to the Consumer Price Index, food prices from one year ago have gone up 3.3%. It’s not going to stop there. Non-food prices are going up as well, as companies struggle to find the raw materials and manpower they need to produce everything else. Fitness equipment, furniture, lumber, gas, electronics -- it’s all going up. What we have to be concerned with, however, is our most basic need: food. Even if you’ve never felt any urgency before, check into your local food bank. Keep the information handy, just in case you need it later. Look at store brands. Many are even better than the name brands. Make every dollar count. Sign up for a grocery store rewards card, if it’s available. Use a private throwaway email address, the one you use to sign up for things that might generate too much junk mail. You’ll likely get emails about sales with coupons. (At my store, I log in at the checkout and get cash back at the end of each quarter.) Look to your own vegetable garden or farmers markets as ways to save. If you want to do canning this summer, one heads up: Be certain you can get the jars, lids and rings at the same time. For guidance, questions, and tours of The Lodge Assisted Living, call Linda Davis 208-755-3637. They might be in short supply. Freezing meals is another option and ensures that food is always available. Double a stew or soup Linda Davis recipe and buy in bulk when it makes sense to. Director of building relationships. Shop from a list to the extent you can, know208.457.3403 ing that stores can be out of things you want. Consider having breakfast for dinner one night www.LodgeLiving.net a week, and one meatless dinner. Plan meals around what’s on sale each week. It bears repeating: Find out about your local food bank. (c) 2021 King Features Synd., Inc.
