TIDBITS® GETS FAMILIAR WITH BABIES & GROUPS

by Kathy Wolfe There’s a certain vocabulary designated for the babies and groups of certain animal species. These collective nouns are officially known as “terms of venery” or “nouns of assembly.” You’re probably familiar with several, but Tidbits has discovered some unusual terms you might not know about. Follow along and see! • Baby alligators are known as hatchlings or juveniles and measure about 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm) at birth. About 80% of young hatchlings will die as victims of predators such as birds, otters, snakes, bobcats, and raccoons. When they leave their mother at about three years of age, they’ll join a group known as a congregation. Don’t confuse the congregation with a bask or a float, which is a group of crocodiles. A bask of crocodiles are on the land while a float of crocs are in the water. • A baby alpaca or llama is called a cria, which is the Spanish word for baby. A female alpaca is pregnant for nearly a year to produce a single cria. • A coalition of cheetahs lives and hunts together for life. A coalition is frequently two or three brothers, and although they band together to claim a large area of land, they aren’t territorial. About 90% of cheetah cubs die within three months after birth, with predators killing 50%, and a poor immune system and disease taking out the remainder

BABIES & GROUPS (continued): • When we think of the word “flock,” we typically think of birds, but did you know that a group of camels is also called a flock? These unusual animals can travel up to 100 miles (161 km) without drinking water. The 80 lbs. (36 kg) of fat stored in the camel’s hump is converted to water when needed. After a long period without water – sometimes up to weeks or even months – the camel will drink about 30 gallons of water to replenish itself. • And speaking of flocks, not every group of birds is called a flock. Birdwatchers tells us there are “unique and distinctive names” for many species of flying creatures. A group of crows is a murder or a muster, while a group of cranes is a sedge. Finches and hummingbirds gather in a charm, while hawks and falcons have three different labels – cast, cauldron, and kettle. Buzzards form a wake and eagles band together in a convocation. Magpies gather in a group known as a tiding, starlings are a murmuration, and an assemblage of nightingales are called a watch. • Who decided that a group of loons would be known as an asylum? Some birdwatchers call the group a water dance. • Under the sea, you might encounter a flotilla of swordfish, a fever of stingrays, a risk of lobsters, a party of female dolphins, an alliance of male dolphins, or a turmoil of porpoises. Try to avoid the shiver of sharks and the battery of barracudas! While most jellyfish stings are not deadly, stay away from a smack of the ones that are, such as the sea wasp, one with a sting that can cause anaphylaxis, which can be fatal.

• “Use a permanent marker to put your initials on your charging cord. They all look the same, especially if they are white. This way you will know if someone -- say, your sister -- takes your cord!” -- V.V. in Georgia • “I use Milk of Magnesia on a cotton ball applied to my toes to ward off itchy feet from athlete’s foot or whatever causes itching. I just apply it when I get out of the shower, and it dries before I put socks on. It really works!” -- E.L. in Kentucky • “An online grocery order mistake landed me with way too many bananas. In addition to banana muffins and breads, I sliced and froze a few bananas to use in smoothies, and mixed mashed bananas together with some other fruit pieces to make a sorbet of sorts.” -- Y.D. in Arizona • When painting, most people know to place a roller in a plastic bag to keep it moist between paint sessions. An added layer of protection is to then stick the roller (in the bag) inside a Pringles chip can. It’s the right size, and it can keep it safe until the next day. • “When my curly curly hair gets the frizz, I use a sheet of fabric softener to take the static electricity out of it. This works so well that in the winter, I keep several in my purse.” -P.M. in Michigan • Childproofing in a pinch: Slip a thick sock over a doorknob, and secure with a rubber band. Little kids will have to work much harder to grip and turn the doorknob, and it can help keep kids from opening doors. Send your tips to Now Here’s a Tip, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803.

TIDBITS of Kootenai County, Idaho Issue #44 Oct. 26th 2020 BABIES & GROUPS (continued): • Porcupines are well-known for their sharp prickly quills that protect them against predators. So it’s no wonder a group of these rodents is known as a prickle! Porcupines take their name from the Latin, meaning “quill pig.” The quills, or spines, are actually hairs coated with thick plates of the fibrous protein keratin. The quills of the African crested porcupine are nearly a foot long! And the babies of these spiny fellows are called porcupettes. • A whole lot of kangaroos form a mob or troop. The baby kangaroo is known as a joey, but so are the young offspring of koalas, opossums, and wombats. • Some animals are known by different names depending on what they’re doing. For example, when penguins are in the water, their group is called a raft. An assemblage of penguins on land can be a colony, a rookery, or a waddle. The group swims and hunts together to crease their chance of getting more food. There’s also a special term for penguin chicks that stay together in a group – a crèche. A group of Emperor penguins that gathers together in cold temperatures to conserve body heat is known as a huddle. When a group of geese is on the ground, we call it a gaggle, but if they’re in flight, they’re in a skein, unless, of course, they are in a V-formation, when they are known as a wedge. • How about bringing politics into the animal world? Owls gathering together are known as a parliament, while a group of baboons are, perhaps accurately, referred to as a congress! • Baby cockroaches, cicadas, grasshoppers, and mosquitoes are all referred to as nymphs.

If it’s rattlesnakes you see, that group is known as a rhumba. You might also wander into a den, pit, bed, or knot of snakes. • The definition of “ostentation” is “a vain show especially for the purpose of attracting attention and admiration.” That’s a pretty appropriate term for a group of peacocks with their elaborate iridescent blue and green plumage. Similarly, flamingos, with their flamboyant coloration ranging from pale pink to orange to crimson gather in a group fittingly known as a flamboyance. An assembly of giraffes is suitably referred to as a tower, since an adult giraffe might reach a height of 18.7 feet (5.7 m). And a group of zebras with their dazzling black and white coloring? They’re known as a dazzle! • The word “surfeit” is defined as “an overabundant supply or excess” or an “extreme indulgence in something.” But the word also applies to a group of skunks! Sometimes called polecats, the 11 species of skunks range in color from the familiar black and white to brown or cream-colored. A female skunk gives birth to a litter of 2 to 10 kits, as the babies are called, with each weighing between 32 and 35 grams. The kits are born without coats, but are already striped at birth, since the pattern is in their skin pigmentation. It doesn’t take long for a skunk to develop its distinctive odor – at just 8 days old, they can release their musk spray from their scent glands. • Talk about an apt description! A group of spiders is called a skittering, while a whole lot of mice are described as a mischief.

By Lucie Winborne • An armadillo’s shell is so hard that it can deflect a bullet, as a Texas man discovered to his chagrin when he took aim at one. The bullet ricocheted into his jaw and he had to be airlifted to a hospital, while the armadillo strolled away unscathed. • “Pants” was considered a dirty word in Victorian England. • Two conductors have died while conducting the second act of Wagner’s opera “Tristan und Isolde.” They collapsed from heart attacks at exactly the same point in the music due to its technical demands! • Had Georgie Fletcher of Australia never signed on to play the mobile game “Words With Friends,” her husband, Simon, might be dead. Georgie struck up a friendship via the game’s chat feature with frequent opponent Beth Legler from Missouri. One day, Georgie told Beth that Simon hadn’t been feeling well. Beth relayed his symptoms to her husband Larry, a doctor, who insisted that the Fletchers go to the hospital immediately. A 99% blockage was discovered near his heart, which, left untreated, would have certainly been fatal. • In 2015, Legoland became the first theme park to create its own currency. • Writer Guy de Maupassant frequently lunched in a restaurant at the base of the Eiffel Tower. Why? It was the only place he could go where he didn’t have to look at it. • The process of things being stretched out and torn apart as they enter a black hole is called spaghettification. • * Our senses of taste and smell are cut by 50% and 20%, respectively, during flights, which is why airplane food has never tasted so hot. (“That’s what I’ve been telling you!” said every airplane food chef, ever.)

WHAT YOUR SYMPTOMS ARE TELLING YOU – PART II In Part I of What Your Symptoms are Telling You, we read about how symptoms, whether they are just annoying or life-changing, have meaning. Symptoms are the body’s way of telling us something is wrong. The more subtle symptoms, such as constipation, can have multiple causes. We discussed what normal is and some of the causes such as lack of water, fat or fiber in the diet, even lack of food, digestive insufficiency, and lack of muscle tone because of certain diseases. Here are some other reasons for constipation: Stress can become a cause of constipation either due to inactivity, making poor food and liquid choices and even rushing around, not taking the time to go. We train ourselves to be constipated, either due to pain or simply inconvenience. Painful bowel movements due to hemorrhoids, fissures or chronic constipation cause people to hold it in, until it is chronically held in. Many activities make it difficult to respond immediately to the call, so we actually train ourselves to be constipated. Antacids and other medications, especially diuretics, opioids for pain and others are constipating. Even laxatives can be constipating due to excessive usage over time. causing a rebound resistance to laxatives. Endocrine orders such as diabetes and hypothyroidism can affect metabolism and thereby stools.All this and we’re just talking about one “simple” disorder.

But like all disorders, simple or complex, there are reasons for it. Our job is to dissect it and figure out what the body is trying to tell us. Some symptoms are actually trying to help us. Such as high cholesterol. The body doesn’t elevate cholesterol just because it wants to. The notion that eating cholesterol makes your cholesterol go up was debunked nearly 2 decades ago! High cholesterol combined with high glucose levels and/or dehydration cause thick blood that can initiate a stroke or heart attack. But why are the cholesterol levels elevated? Cholesterol is a healing serum of the body. If it is high, what is it trying to heal? This is an example of the body trying to help, but in helping, creates a new problem. In taking a patient’s history, I like to be thorough. I want to know everything that is going on with their body. Like a picture puzzle, every puzzle piece provides a clue as to what may be going on with them under the surface. Often, when I ask, “Is there anything else?”, they say, “Only a couple minor things”. Things they have acclimated to, or don’t consider too important because they are more of an annoyance than a “problem”. Many times, these “annoying” symptoms are a vital key – even they have a reason. The body tells us in more than one way what is wrong with it. We have to be the detectives and ask what the symptom/group of symptoms, is trying to tell us. Only by listening to what the symptoms are telling us can we truly make a difference in total health.

Data Breach Impacts 46,000 Veterans

A data breach occurred at the Department of Veterans Affairs when thieves attempted to divert medical payment funds at the Financial Services Center away from community health care providers that take care of veterans outside the VA. The minute the techies noticed the breach, they took it offline, of course, and locked it pending a security review. If that was the whole story, it would eventually be worked out when those providers got replacement payments from the VA. However, while the thieves were roaming around in the computers they also got the personal information of some 46,000 veterans, including Social Security numbers. As breaches go, this is one of the smaller ones the government has experienced. Remember a few years ago when millions of veterans were compromised? Still, it’s unnerving to know your info is out there. Those affected by the breach, or a next of kin, will have been notified by now (the thieves also went after the personal info of deceased veterans). The VA is offering credit-monitoring services at no cost. Alerts went out by mail to those veterans affected, with instructions on how to protect personal info. (If you did not get an alert mail, you were not in the group that was breached.) If you received an alert letter and you have questions or concerns, contact the FSC Customer Help Desk by email at VAFSCVeteransSupport@va.gov. Unfortunately, in this hotly political climate, false rumors are the order of the day. One political party sent a snarly message to the Committee on Veterans’ Affairs claiming that in addition to the 46,000 veterans, another 17,000 providers were affected as well. Not so. Turns out that there were 17,000 total providers who used the computer program, but only 13 were impacted and of those, only six had funds grabbed.

North Idaho College is partnering with Heritage Health to offer a new dental hygiene degree program.

Students who complete the two-year program will earn an Associate of Applied Science in Dental Hygiene and will be eligible to sit for the national exam to become a Registered Dental Hygienist. Courses will begin in January 2021 at two locations, the NIC main campus in Coeur d’Alene in partnership with Heritage Health, and the Lewis-Clark State College dental clinic on its main campus in Lewiston. “We’re very excited to be partnering with North Idaho College,” said Bill Davenport, the Coeur d’Alene Clinic Director for Heritage Health. “In addition to our space, our staff will be contributing their expertise and knowledge to NIC students. Creating a pipeline of potential employees is a bonus for us and this is about helping our community partner.”

NIC students in Coeur d’Alene will use Heritage Health’s dental clinic and equipment after normal business hours throughout the week. “I think our partnership is a perfect arrangement for the NIC dental hygiene students,” said Janis McClelland, Program Director of the Dental Hygiene program. “The opportunity to work alongside Heritage Health to serve the dentally underserved population of our community is tremendous.” The program will be delivered using online courses, internet video conferencing that allows students from each institution to participate in lectures as a large group, and then lab and clinic time on the respective campuses and in partnership with clinics. McClelland said the hybrid delivery model is unique and has required in-depth development and coordination to achieve initial accreditation status, which was granted last month. “The students will gain valuable clinical experience while providing services that patients would normally have to wait months for,” said McClelland.

“This is definitely a fantastic opportunity for our community and our students.” Students will learn a wide array of dental procedures and work on actual patients. These patients will come from a variety of sources, Heritage Health, community dentist referrals, and from the students’ own recruitment of family, friends and community members. Dental screenings will be performed to determine the need for dental care and to provide preventive oral care services. Under the supervision of faculty and dentists, the students will be providing procedures such as radiographs, head and neck oral cancer exams, periodontal assessments, and periodontal treatment in addition to cleanings and polishing, fluoride and desensitizing treatments, dental sealants, sports guards and a complete dental examination. The application process for the Dental Hygiene program closes Thursday, Oct. 8. For more information: dentalhygiene@nic.edu or NIC Health Professions Advisor Betsy Conery at (208) 625-2320, or NIC Dental Hygiene Program Director Janis McClelland at (208) 929-4014.

There are those who would argue that today’s world is going to heck in a handbasket. I’ve always found it interesting when people complain about the breakdown of our world as we know it -- I attempt to imagine their criteria for this dystopian future. Does it involve a computer takeover? Genetic tinkering? Just all-out trash human behavior? Here are several iconic dystopian fantasies to choose from, and a few lesser-known morsels of impending doom. May the odds be ever in your favor. “The Matrix” -- Keanu Reeves stars as Neo, a hacker who is liberated from a simulated reality by the elusive Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) and learns the secret and terrible truth that the world is not what it seems. Dystopian cause: computers. “Death Race 2000” -- For camp, I prefer Roger Corman’s 1975 version with Sylvester Stallone and David Carradine as some of the competitors in a transcontinental race where points are clocked both by speed and the number and type of pedestrian kills. Dystopian cause: totalitarianism. “Divergent” -- A worldwide war wipes out humanity, except in Chicago, where the remaining residents separate themselves into factions -- the smart, the honest, the kind, the generous and the daring. Things get dicey when Tris (Shailene Woodley) tries to be more than one thing. Dystopian cause: war. “The Hunger Games” -- The winner of a 13-district war subjugates the rest of the districts by culling two young people from each yearly to fight to the death in a reality show that is too real. They get more than they bargained for when Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) volunteers to take the place of her little sister. Dystopian cause: political machinations of terrible people. “The Running Man” -- In the not too distant future, Arnold Schwarzenegger is a contestant in America’s most popular game show, where convicted criminals enter a gladiator-style arena to battle against mercenaries and other bloodthirsty killers to attempt to win their freedom. This film, made in 1987, takes place in 2019. Dystopian cause: economic collapse. “Idiocracy” -- In this cult classic Mike Judge comedy, the military places an “Average Joe” and a duped prostitute in suspended animation, and they are accidentally abandoned until they wake up 500 years later in a seriously dumbed down future where they appear to be the smartest people on the planet. Dystopian cause: antiintellectualism run amok. “Never Let Me Go” -- A romantic tragedy based on Kazuo Ishiguro’s 2005 novel, three friends from boarding school navigate love and the future knowing that they are clones, alive only to be harvested for their organs. Dystopian cause: medical tinkering. (c) 2020 King Features Synd., Inc.

• On Nov. 3, 1777, Gen. George Washington is informed that a conspiracy is afoot to discredit him with Congress and have him replaced by Gen. Horatio Gates. Major Gen. Thomas Conway led the effort. Conway offered his resignation in March 1778 by way of apology, and was surprised and humiliated when Congress accepted. • On Nov. 4, 1928, Arnold Rothstein, New York’s most notorious gambler, is fatally shot during a poker game. Police made arrests after following his trail of blood back to a suite where a group of men were playing cards. • On Nov. 5, 1930, Sinclair Lewis is awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for his novels “Main Street” (1920), “Babbitt” (1922), “Arrowsmith” (1925) and “Elmer Gantry” (1927). In 1926, he had turned down the Pulitzer Prize awarded him for “Arrowsmith.” • On Nov. 7, 1957, The Gaither Report called for by President Dwight Eisenhower to review the nation’s defense readiness urges a vigorous $30 billion campaign to build fallout shelters. It suggested that American citizens were completely unprotected from nuclear attack. • On Nov. 2, 1960, a landmark obscenity case over “Lady Chatterley’s Lover,” by D.H.

“Wisdom, Culture, Love, and Story-telling”

By Matilda Charles

A Comfy Nest for Winter

Since it looks like this horrible coronavirus isn’t going away soon, we might as well take a few steps to make our lives more comfortable over the winter. Here are some ideas: -- Investigate a new wireless router to speed up your Wi-Fi connection, especially if you have multiple devices that put a drag on your connection. Be sure it’s at least Wi-Fi 5, not Wi-Fi 4. The newest, Wi-Fi 6, is top of the line. -- Buy a warm fleece blanket, one-person size, for watching TV at night. These 50x70 throws are just the right length. -- Consider getting a Kindle, with a free threemonth subscription to Kindle Unlimited. You can grab up to 10 free books or magazines at a time. Once you’ve read one, delete it and get another one. After three months you can decide if you want to spend $9.99/month to keep the subscription going. Depending on your reading habits, this can be a good deal. -- If you have someone who can deliver and assemble it, an outdoor propane grill can be a bit of summer fun in the middle of a cold winter. -- Keep an eye on sales if you need an additional pot for the extra cooking you’re doing. Stores like Target and Bed, Bath & Beyond have curbside delivery, so if you pay online you don’t have to go in the store. Get freezer bags to store individual portions you can pull out and heat up without cooking every day. -- Splurge on one good, thick sweater or zip sweatshirt to wear in the house. -- Think about getting an air cleaner for inside the house to clean up dust mites, stale air and pet dander. Be cautious about the price of replacement filters. -- Reorganize your kitchen cabinets, pantry or linen closet shelves. -- And don’t forget to stock up on batteries!

A text from a resident’s family member received recently really struck my heart… “I’m so ashamed of our Youth Centric Society. There is so much wisdom, culture, love and storytelling that is being wasted and lost, simply disregarded…” Rory Steward in the November 9, 2013, “Guardian” reflects as follows. “…ours is the first generation to draw our deepest fulfilment from our own descendants. Some of my friends imply that all that matters is what happens to their families, in the lives behind their own front doors. We have become reluctant to make sacrifices, except on the altar of our children. And what is the purpose of our childrens lives? Their own children. And so on, all the way down. But instead of focusing overwhelmingly on the interests of the next generation , politicians should give more space to the previous generation. We should begin by allowing older people to take far more political responsibility in local communities…. Our older population is the most impressive, self-sacrificing and imaginative part of our entire community. They are almost the last people who belong to political parties, the last who maintain our churches, the most generous and dedicated supporters of all our charities. They are our last fragile link to deeper history. They are also people who can find themselves in extremes of poverty (fuel poverty, in particular), of isolation, of loneliness and of hopelessness in the wait for death, unimaginable to anyone younger. We are not respecting them and, as a society, we are not making use of their extraordinary talents… If we are looking for redemption for the young, and a mission for our society, it could be in our care for the older generation: finding fulfilment and delight in relationships with the elderly and in helping the elderly. We should admire and learn from them. This is possible. On every street corner in Kabul, you can see a teenager in stonewashed jeans raising his head from scowling at his phone and moving with genuine delight to talk to an older person. I would like to see us begin to do the same here. Instead of building a world that;s only fit for our children, I would like to see us building a world fit for our parents Rory Stewart is Conservative MP for Penrith For guidance, questions, and tours of The Lodge Assisted Living, call Linda Davis 208-755-3637.
