TIDBITS® SNIFFS PERFUME

by Janet Spencer Come along with Tidbits as we sniff perfume! IN THE BEGINNING • In 2005, archaeologists uncovered the remains of the world’s oldest known perfumery on the island nation of Cyprus. Cyprus has been inhabited for around 10,000 years, and the ruins were about 4,000 years old. The excavation yielded funnels, bowls, stills, and bottles. • The town of Grasse, France became the perfume center of Europe during the 16th century as a result of the tanning industry located there. Freshly tanned leather stinks because of ammonia used during the process. Tanners making leather gloves for Catherine de Medici began to scent them with lavender to mask the stench. These gloves kick-started Europe’s craze for fragrances, and Grasse became the world’s perfume capital. • Different types of perfumes vary in their concentrations of fragrant oils. Cologne has only 3% oils and the rest is generally ethyl alcohol. Eau de Toilette, or toilet water, contains about 10% fragrant oils. Eau de Parfum contains 15%. The highest quality perfumes contain 25% oils. The higher the concentration of oils, the longer the scent lasts on the skin. A quality perfume might last up to 12 hours, while a cologne will last only four or five hours. (cont)

THE BASE OF PERFUME • Prior to modern chemistry, there were many animal-based products that were used to stabilize the odor of perfumes. • Ambergris is produced in the intestinal tract of sperm whales in order to help them expel things that are hard to digest, such as the beaks of squid. It’s a grey waxy substance that floats on the surface of the sea after being expelled. It has a strong odor, and the chemical make-up of ambergris makes it excellent as a carrier for other scents. • The musk glands of musk deer, used to attract mates, are also a powerful fixative for odors. These musk glands were so popular among perfumers that musk deer were driven to the brink of extinction prior to the invention of synthetic musk. • Beavers secrete castoreum in order to mark their territory. Castoreum gives perfume a long-lasting leathery odor. • Another common ingredient called indole is now derived from coal tar but was originally extracted from human waste. NOSE FATIGUE • The human nose tends to get “scent fatigue.” Once it registers a fragrance, the nose stops sensing that odor after about 30 minutes and then moves on to the next scent. If it’s presented with the identical odor every day, the nose notices it less and less. It’s recommended that a person choose about five favorite perfumes and rotate them to avoid “nose blindness.” When testing new perfumes, don’t try to sniff more than two or three at a time. After that, your nose goes into overload. To clear the nasal passages, take a deep whiff of coffee beans. (cont)

• 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. • There’s been a lot of talk at my house about kitchen gadgets that do double duty, especially since I have made whipped cream for the first time -- in my coffeemaker! I have a French press that I rarely use, until now. Add heavy whipping cream and a bit of sugar to the pot, and use the screen to whip the cream by rapidly pumping it up and down. Magic! -- JoAnn • “To save money on electricity costs, hang jeans and other heavy clothing to dry first. White or light towels and garments especially love the sun. When they’re mostly dry, pop in the dryer to fluff. • “I love to eat pancakes, but I don’t have time to make them every morning. I make a very large batch on Sundays and reheat them through the week. In order to recreate that fresh-from-the-pan crisp (which you don’t get if you microwave them), I put them in my toaster.” -- P.E. in Ohio • “I use an extra coffeepot to brew a pot of hot water. I use the water for both tea and instant oatmeal packets in the morning.” -- M.S. in Nevada • “Before I go to the beach, I freeze an ice-cube tray full of lemonade. Then, we use the cubes in our travel cups. It keeps the lemonade cool, and as it melts (which tends to be quickly), it doesn’t water down the drink.” -- K.H. in South Carolina Send your tips to Now Here’s a Tip, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803.

TIDBITS of Kootenai County, Idaho Issue #26 June 28th 2021 DIFFERENT SCENTS • Clive Christian’s “No. 1 Imperial Majesty” has historically been one of the world’s most expensive perfumes, selling at about $2,355 per ounce—a price that sometimes includes delivery in a Bentley. It comes in a Baccarat crystal bottle with an 18-carat gold collar and five-carat diamond. • French fashion designer Coco Chanel was already rich and famous when she was approached to endorse a fragrance in 1920. Given the choice of 20 scents, she chose the 5th one, and “Chanel No. 5” has been the world’s top-selling perfume ever since. • Katy Perry’s cat, named Kitty Purry, was the inspiration for Perry’s first celebrity fragrance, “Purr” released in 2010 in a bottle shaped like a cat. • Cosmetic company Elizabeth Arden is famous for its “Red Door” perfume. There never was anyone named Elizabeth Arden. The company was founded by Florence Nightingale Graham, who took the name from a book published in 1898 called “Elizabeth and Her German Garden.” • English author Neil Gaiman one day found a bat stuck to the fly strip at his kitchen window. The bat was still alive, and he worked to free the bat using citrus oil. This inspired a new perfume called “Lemon-Scented Sticky Bat,” manufactured in conjunction with Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, who also make fragrances such as “Schrodinger’s Cat,” “Blood Kiss” and “Jazz Funeral.” Proceeds from sales go to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, which works to preserve and protect the First Amendment rights of the comics community. • (cont)

The name comes from the Tamil language “pacculi” meaning “green leaf.” About 90% of patchouli comes from Indonesia. The plant is unable to reproduce by seeds and is propagated by cuttings, often planted in between rows of other crops. The scent of patchouli became associated with hippies of the 1960s, perhaps because it was used to mask the odor of marijuana and alcohol. Madonna scented the packaging of her album “Like a Prayer” with patchouli because she wanted to invoke the Age of Aquarius. COTY • •Francois Coty was born in 1874 and lived in Paris. One day he wanted to play cards with a friend, but the friend said he was busy because he had to mix up a batch of his own cologne. Francois asked if he could watch, and as a result he became interested in perfumes. He studied the art for two years, learning how to extract scents from flowers. • Just then the Industrial Revolution was yielding all sorts of synthetic essences as well. Francois combined natural scents with synthetic ones and began to sell his perfume to barbers. At the time perfumes were sold in unattractive pharmaceutical bottles. Francois packaged his product in elegant crystal bottles instead, feeling he should sell perfume as something in a lovely bottle, rather than something lovely in a bottle. He wanted to appeal to both the eye and the nose. • Sales were slow when he tried to make the jump to department stores, but then fate intervened: in a store in Paris, he dropped a bottle of his perfume and it shattered, its scent permeating the store, creating a tremendous demand. Now Coty is the world’s biggest manufacturer of perfumes.

By Lucie Winborne • On May 19, 1996, Kermit the Frog gave the commencement speech at Southampton College, Long Island University. • TASER is actually an acronym for Tom A. Swift’s Electric Rifle. “Tom Swift” references the book character who is not just an inventor of amazing gadgets, but a childhood favorite of the Taser’s inventor, Jack Cover. • The average high-school swimmer swims 1 million strokes per season. • Researchers found that male bottlenose dolphins in Western Australia’s Shark Bay have formed “boy bands” that harmonize their mating calls together in order to better attract females. • While working as an extra on the set of “The X-Files,” singer Michael Buble was fired for stealing a hot dog from the craft services table. • The most common injury caused by makeup is scratching the eye with a mascara wand. • A local folk remedy in Boho, Ireland, involved placing soil from the local church under one’s pillow while sleeping to cure infections. The nature of the remedy proved more scientific than divine when, in 2018, a microbiologist found the soil contains a previously unknown strain of streptomyces, which can be used to create antibiotics. • Out at sea, a tsunami is only about 3 feet high, and could pass a boat without being noticed. • At the 2011 World Scrabble Championships in Poland, a competitor demanded officials strip-search his opponent after a “G” tile went missing. The officials decided against it due to a lack of evidence of cheating. • With every bottle of Laphroaig whisky, you’re entitled to a lifetime lease on a one-squarefoot plot of land on the Scottish island of Islay, as part of Laphroaig’s loyalty program “Friends of Laphroaig.”

CHRONICALLY TIRED

So many people are chronically tired today, that you could consider it a fatigue epidemic! Many, many things contribute to fatigue. There are several categories, encompassing hundreds of reasons, for fatigue. Metabolic and endocrine disorders are the most common. The adrenals and thyroid head this category. But basically any system that secretes a hormone (and there are about 72 hormones) – whether for brain health, sex ction, if not producing properly, can contribute to, or cause fatigue. Infections (including hidden infections) can certainly contribute. Whether it is a flu, dental infection, a communicable, parasitic or autoimmune disease or any immune malfunction, it needs to be ruled out or addressed. Cardiopulmonary disorders can also present with fatigue – whether that is valve issues, respiratory disorders, congestive heart failure or “simply” shortness of breath on exertion. Many blood disorders, such as anemia need to be considered as well. Lack of emotional wellbeing can make you tired. Depression, lack of motivation, anxiety, grieving, substance abuse, eating disorders – there can be a fine line. Many times people are falsely diagnosed with depression when it is actually fatigue from another cause. Yeah, they feel better on antidepressants, but the underlying cause of the fatigue goes untreated. Inadequate sleep is, of course contributory to fatigue.

This could be because of a sleep disorder, work schedule, or stress making it difficult to sleep well. Make sure when trying to define reasons for fatigue that you consider medications. Antidepressants, anti-anxiety meds, sedatives, drugs for drug withdrawal, steroids, antihistamines, and some blood pressure medications have side effects of fatigue. There are many others as well. Other things to consider include certain illnesses such as diabetes or hypoglycemia, cancer or cancer treatments, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, obesity and arthritis all of which have known associations with fatigue. Lack of nutrients required for normal operation of your system is to blame so much of the time. Especially the B vitamins, vitamin D and Iron (or anemia). Lack of good nutrition can adversely affect your energy – whether it is artificially stimulated via coffee, energy drinks and sugar, or lacking, such as protein, fats and carbs (good carbs). Nutrition holds a leading role in the amount of energy you have to expend – or don’t have! An often over looked cause of fatigue is the adrenal glands. The adrenals give you sustained energy throughout the day, help your response to stress, help regulate glucose levels (needed to provide cellular energy), they produce orsynthesize steroid hormones, estrogen, testosterone and cortisol (all needing to be balanced for good energy), and even your ability to respond to illnesses relies on the adrenals. Good adrenal function is essential to energy levels in the body.

Fake Dog Trainer Nailed for Scamming Veterans I’ll admit, after reading about so many Department of Veterans Affairs-related crimes over the years, this is a new one. A judge has sentenced a Texas resident to 10 years in prison for scamming the VA out of a lot of money ... for fake dog-and handler-training courses. The scammer defrauded the VA by submitting 185 claims for courses that were supposed to train dogs and their handlers. Each course cost between $6,500 and $12,000. On his application to create a training program that veterans could attend and use their education benefits, he lied. He listed the names and certifications of four real dog trainers as the instructors. Those people hadn’t given their permission, and one of them was deceased. Because of that fraud, he was ineligible to collect VA dollars. Over time, he actually placed dogs with police departments, dogs he’d supposedly rescued from shelters and trained. Of the veterans who’d actually tried to take the course, however, 81% were dissatisfied. The scammer was nailed for two counts of money laundering, two instances of submitting a false tax return, eight counts of wire fraud and four counts of aggravated identity theft. Not only is he going to the slammer, he forfeited a big pile of cash and property, including multiple vehicles, a luxury motor home, jet skis, a trailer and more. He allegedly sought a presidential pardon. He didn’t get it. What he did get on multiple websites were comments from people who didn’t hold back in their disgust for what he’d done. What we’d like to know, however, is whether there was ever a question of animal abuse. It was reported that 31 dogs were found in the raid of the property, but only 26 were taken to local shelters. It was also reported that some of the dogs died due to bad health. Surely that’s good for another 10 years, right? (c) 2021 King Features Synd., Inc.

By Rachel Rose Photo Credit: Walt Disney/Pixar Photo Caption: Scene from “Luca”

-“Queen Bees” (PG-13) -- If it took you 20 years to finally get over the anxiety of high school cliques, “Queen Bees” shows that it all comes back again later in life. Ellen Burstyn plays Helen, a silver single moving into a senior living community. There she encounters all the same personality conflicts from her school days as she tries to navigate the social strata of Pine Grove. “They’re like mean girls, but with medical alert bracelets,” Helen quips. Jane Curtin, Loretta Devine and Ann-Margaret round out the cool girls’ table, with Christopher Lloyd and James Caan providing comedic support and romantic interest. (Theaters and Prime Video) “Luca” (PG) -- Luca and Alberto are two young boys finding adventure on the 1950s Italian Riviera, making new friends and living their best lives. The twist? They’re not actually human boys, but underwater sea creatures who become humanlike when they rise above the sea’s surface. While concealing their secret in lots of near-miss situations, the boys ride Vespa scooters and eat gelatos, practicing their Italian accents with a few choice phrases. Pixar Studios continues to amaze and delight with its visuals, once again surpassing its own levels of excellence in animation. (Disney+) “Skyfall” (PG-13) -- Once again delivering exquisite cinematography of exotic locales, this 2012 film is the third installment in Daniel Craig’s reign as James Bond. With 007 returning to MI6 after mission failure and subsequent personal disappearance, Bond rises like the phoenix to take on one of the creepiest villains ever, expertly portrayed by Javier Bardem. The movie’s stunning conclusion is explosive and a bit overly dramatic, but ties together Bond’s past with his present, ushering in a shocking change to the MI6 organization. (New to Paramount+) “Bo Burnham: Inside” (NR) -- It is a bit of a misnomer to call this a comedy special because it’s not your typical guy-onstage-telling-jokes presentation. Performed without an audience and entirely inside comedian/musician Bo Burnham’s apartment over the full year of 2020, “Inside” is 87 minutes of devilishly original songs and commentary covering subjects from white privilege to labor exploitation and self-deprecation. Despite the heavy topics, it IS hysterically funny, and exceptionally clever. With laser lights and voice modulators, Burnham is self-admittedly a little all over the place, but the genius that emerged from his own mental struggles is well worth a watch -- but definitely not for the kids. (Netflix) “Miss Juneteenth” (NR) -- When a former pageant winner sees her teenage daughter at a crossroads in life, she encourages her to enter the same scholarship pageant that she won years earlier. With a full ride to a Historically Black College as the prize for the winner of Miss Juneteenth, mom Turquoise has high hopes of daughter Kai making more of her life than she herself was able to accomplish.

Pets Shell-Shocked by Nightly Fireworks

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: What is with the constant setting off of loud fireworks almost every night for the past year? My two dogs are so stressed out that they are sleeping with me at night. -- Larry H., via email DEAR LARRY: I experienced similar nightly fireworks throughout the pandemic. There are many theories as to why fireworks were so popular, but I prefer to go with the most obvious: Some people had little else to do, and no regard for their neighbors. My pets are not too fazed by the occasional crackle of firecrackers, which still goes on here even though the pandemic restrictions are mostly lifted. But some of our neighbors had much bigger fireworks and enjoyed setting them off around midnight or later, with no warning. My pets came flying into the bedroom when these were set off. As a pet owner, it’s frustrating to see our companions suffer from someone else’s carelessness. Even worse, authorities haven’t seemed interested in enforcing noise or fireworks regulations. As we head into the Fourth of July weekend, plan ahead to make things easier for your pets. Create a safe space for your dogs to go to when fireworks go off. Some dogs absolutely need this and can’t be comforted by a hug or treats. A friend of mine created a little den in the corner of her mudroom using scrap plywood, putting bedding and old clothes inside so her giant mutt “Ollie” can hide from loud noises. Talk to your dogs’ vet as well about medication to keep them calmer through the holiday, which may help them better deal with the trauma caused by fireworks.

• * On July 21, 365 A.D., a powerful earthquake off the coast of Greece causes a tsunami that devastates the city of Alexandria, Egypt. It was not until 1995 that archaeologists discovered the ruins of the old city off the coast of present-day Alexandria. • On July 22, 1598, William Shakespeare’s play “The Merchant of Venice” is entered on the Stationers’ Register. By decree of Queen Elizabeth, the register licensed printed works, giving the Crown tight control over all published material. • On July 19, 1799, the Rosetta Stone is found in Egypt by a French soldier. The irregularly shaped black basalt slab contained fragments of passages written Greek, Egyptian hieroglyphics and Egyptian demotic. It held the key to solving the riddle of hieroglyphics, a written language that had been “dead” for nearly 2,000 years. • On July 24, 1901, William Sydney Porter, otherwise known as O. Henry, is released from prison after serving three years for embezzlement from a bank in Austin, Texas. He began writing stories to support his young daughter while he was in prison. • On July 25, 1917, in Paris, the exotic dancer Mata Hari is sentenced to death by a French court for spying on Germany’s behalf during World War I. Since 1903, she had performed in Paris as a dancer, claiming she was an Indian priestess. • On July 20, 1948, President Harry Truman institutes a military draft with a proclamation calling for nearly 10 million men to register for within the next two months. Truman’s action came during increasing Cold War tensions with the Soviet Union. • On July 23, 1976, members of the American Legion who were gathered in Philadelphia begin suffering from a mysterious form of pneumonia. Within 10 days, 22 people were dead and hundreds were experiencing pneumonialike symptoms. Their ailment would come to be known as Legionnaires disease. (c) 2021 Hearst Communications, Inc.

What’s Life in Long Term Care Without Respect?

By Matilda Charles

Staying Hydrated in Summer Heat If there is any mantra we need to repeat this summer it’s this one: drink more liquids. A university study revealed that 80% of heatrelated deaths were in people over the age of 60. We need to do everything we can to avoid dehydration when the weather is hot. As we age, many of us don’t have the same body temperature regulation. Poor circulation and lack of thirst can make us vulnerable to the effects of heat. Of those, lack of thirst is the easiest to address, and drinking more water doesn’t need to be a chore. Find out from your doctor just how many ounces you need to drink in a day. Some medications, such as diuretics, might change how your body reacts to heat and dehydration. Ask whether you need an electrolyte-replacement drink for added potassium and sodium. By the numbers: Buy several smaller water bottles and fill with water as many as you need each day to reach the required number of ounces. Keep them on the kitchen counter, where you’ll see them. Keep oranges, strawberries and watermelons handy, or make your own fruit popsicles. Keep an eye on the TV news and weather. Know what temperatures and humidity are expected during the day, especially early afternoon. If you walk for exercise, try to go in the morning. Make a few calls and find out about any cooling stations near you, or air-conditioned spaces such as a mall, if you don’t have air conditioning at home. Keep the inside temperature as low as possible and close the drapes on the sunny side of the house. If you have air conditioning, keep it set at a comfortable temperature and leave it on. Remember that you don’t need to wait until you’re thirsty to drink water. (c) 2021 King Features Synd., Inc.

The Lodge loves this article published by Jan Noyes Rosemary, living in a Pennsylvania nursing home, says, “Quality care means that I have what I need when I need it, and that I’m treated with respect. Life would have little meaning without respect.” Every resident in long term care, in assisted living and skilled nursing facilities everywhere, desires and deserves respect. So what does respect mean in long term care? It means that • • • • • • •

residents have privacy during cares, staff is courteous and friendly, food is hot, nutritious and tasty, the environment is clean, orderly, and safe, there is a variety of enjoyable activities, medication is delivered on time, call lights are answered in a timely manner,

• • • • • • •

individual choices are considered, questions are answered patiently, staff talks to the residents and not over them, there is ample staff to meet residents’ needs, residents are treated as unique individuals, individual attention is given to each resident, and residents are treated as if their residence is their home.

Long term care should be about the residents first. Of course, business should be profitable. After all, without facilities, where would all those thousands of elders go when care becomes necessary? Managing the balance between quality care and profit must lean toward quality care. There are good facilities here that do just that, but there are always enough problems in our area that make an ombudsman program necessary. It would be ideal if every long term care facility owner, corporation, and administrator would treat all the residents as if they were their own loved ones. How long would their loved ones sit in a wet brief, eat cold food, be ignored, lose privacy, or be rushed through cares? Ombudsmen, like me, Roseanna Lewis, Jan Young, and our 13 volunteer ombudsmen are problemsolvers. We visit the facilities, observe the environment, talk to the residents, and solve problems. It’s not always that easy, but we’re all well trained and we make a positive difference in the lives of the residents. The Ombudsman Program is part of The Older Americans Act, and gives ombudsmen license to go anywhere in the buildings, talk privately to the residents, and even (with the resident’s permission) look at their records. HIPPA does not apply to us because we are a health oversight organization. Our main concerns are resident rights, quality of care and quality of life. That includes the environment, safety issues, access to information, individual choices, and all aspects of facility care and caregiving. Looking for a rewarding way to serve? A new volunteer training is coming up September 11 – October 23, 1 day a week for 7 weeks, 9 am – 3 pm. Upon graduation, volunteers become Assistant Ombudsmen and each is assigned a facility (with their approval). The volunteers are mentored until each feels comfortable enough to go it alone. Be a voice for those vulnerable elders that won’t, don’t, or can’t speak for themselves. Contact Jan Noyes, Volunteer Ombudsman Coordinator, at the Area Agency on Aging, 208-667-3179 or jnoyes@aaani.org.
