TIDBITS® STRIKES MATCHES
by Janet Spencer Come along with us as we light a match! HOW DO THEY CATCH FIRE? • Before the invention of the match, fire was made by various methods such as friction, magnifying glasses, and flint and steel. Then some early scientists started fires accidentally by mixing various chemicals. • One element in particular, phosphorus, would burn brightly at room temperature. A German alchemist named Hennig Brandt discovered phosphorus in 1669 when he was trying to turn silver into gold. He was only interested in the new element because he thought it would help him with his project. Only after years of attempting to use it to turn silver into gold did he take the time to introduce phosphorus to the rest of the world. And that’s when the story of match making really began. • To understand how a match catches fire, you have to understand phosphorus. The name is derived from the Greek “phosphoros” meaning “bringer of light” because it glows in the dark. Phosphorus is widely distributed in nature and ranks 11th in abundance among the elements in the crust of the earth. Phosphorus itself is essential to all forms of life since it is part of DNA, and there are many phosphorus compounds that are essential in the living cell. (cont)

PHOSPHORUS FACTS (cont) • Phosphorus comes from calcium phosphate rocks, which are mined, then heated to form white phosphorus. Ordinary white phosphorus is a soft waxy solid. When pure, it is transparent and it glows in the dark. The thing about white phosphorus that makes it important in matchmaking is that it catches fire spontaneously in air at room temperature. It must be kept under water to prevent this. It is also extremely poisonous and can cause serious burns if touched. • When exposed to sunlight, or when heated in its own vapor, it converts to red phosphorus. This form does not ignite as easily, does not glow in the dark, and it is less dangerous than white phosphorus. When red phosphorus is heated, it reverts to white phosphorus. This principal is what causes a matchstick to ignite by the friction of striking. CHEMISTRY !! • In addition to flammable phosphorus, there are four groups of chemicals found in a match. First are oxidizing agents which supply oxygen to help ignite the combustible material and keep the flame going (usually potassium chlorate). Second is the fuel, which is normally sulfur because it burns at a low temperature. Third are binders such as glues, starches, and gums which hold the ingredients together. Fourth are inert materials such as clay which help regulate the speed of the reaction. • When a match is struck, the friction causes enough heat to turn a very small amount of the red phosphorus back into white phosphorus, which catches fire in air. This small amount of heat is enough to start a chemical reaction that uses the oxidizing agent to produce oxygen gas. The heat and oxygen gas then cause the sulfur to burst into flame, which causes the paraffin-soaked wood of the matchstick to burn. (cont)
• Save and thoroughly clean foam egg cartons for kids’ paint palettes. The wells keep colors contained, and the flat space on the lid side is great for resting brushes. They are easy to rinse off and just as easy to recycle if you are done with them. • To help insulate your home to prevent heat loss, build up a mound of snow about 3 feet high at the foundation. Snow is a terrific insulator! -- E.S. in Michigan • When topping a pie with meringue, make sure that it touches all the edges of the pie crust. Otherwise it will shrink. • Wrinkled ribbons? You can use your curling iron or flat iron to give the satin a quick freshening up. • “You can use a little bit of cooking oil to remove the last bits of sticker adhesive from a glass picture frame. Remove as much of the paper sticker as possible, then dab the spot with oil on a paper towel. Rub off. When all the adhesive is removed, use glass cleaner.” -- R.H. in South Carolina • Got stale bread? If it’s not too stale, you can try to bring it back in the oven. Set on a low heat alongside -- but not in -- a pan with water. If it’s too far gone, you can always cut it up into cubes and make it croutons, or toast and grind into breadcrumbs. No waste!

TIDBITS of Kootenai County, Idaho Issue #6 Feb 8th 2021 HISTORY OF MATCHES • The person who is usually credited with inventing the modern match was an English chemist and apothecary named John Walker. In 1826 he was attempting to create a new explosive in a chemistry lab in England. Stirring an antimony sulfide and potassium chlorate-based formula with a wood stick, Walker noticed a glob had dried on the stick’s tip. He scraped the stick against his laboratory’s stone floor to remove it and, to his surprise, the stick caught fire. • In 1827 Walker began selling his “Friction Lights” in his pharmacy and often exhibited his invention, but never applied for a patent. Walker made little money off the invention and copy-cats soon abounded. FACTS OF PHOSPHOROUS • In 1830, a French chemist named Charles Sauria discovered how to make matches using white phosphorus instead of the sulfide being used by Walker. They didn’t smell as bad, they burned longer, and they were far less explosive. They were popular in spite of their drawbacks: hot match heads would drop on flammable carpets. Sparks would spray in all directions. They tended to catch fire when stepped on, dropped, or chewed by rats. • However, it turned out to be a disastrous development due to the toxic nature of white phosphorus. The fumes were highly poisonous. A single pack of matches contained enough phosphorus to kill a person. Thousands of people got sick and died, especially the people who worked in the match factories. Workers in match plants who inhaled white phosphorus fumes often suffered from a horrible degeneration of the jawbones known as “phossy jaw.” (cont)

® of Idaho TIDBITS of Kootenai Issue #6 Feb 8th 2021 TidbitsCounty, Dallas County DIAMOND MATCHES (cont) • The Diamond Match Company purchased the patent on red phosphorus. They made the patent public domain so that all match manufacturers could use the formula for free. Soon after, matches made with poisonous white phosphorus became obsolete. DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH • The increasing popularity of smoking coupled with the advent of gas for lighting and heat caused the demand for matches to skyrocket. Mechanized methods of matchmaking were needed. To solve this difficulty, America’s largest match manufacturers banded together in 1881 to form a single company, The Diamond Match Company. The best features of the machinery that each had developed individually were combined. The machinery cut splints from prepared wooden blocks then dipped and dried them in one continuous operation. MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN • In 1911 a scientist named William Fairburn (a very ironic name) went to work for the Diamond Match Company. He discovered how to make matches that would strike every time no matter what the atmospheric conditions were. He found a way to make the ignition temperature of a match twice as high so that spontaneous combustion was impossible. He cut down the ‘afterglow’ so the used match would go out more quickly. He invented a way to keep the charred head from falling off. In short, he improved everything about a match that could possibly be improved. He later became president of the company. During World War II when soldiers needed reliable matches even in rainy environments, the Diamond Match Co. invented a match that would light even after spending eight hours underwater. • Today, 500 billion matches are used each year in the United States.

By Lucie Winborne • Rose DeWitt Bukater’s fabulously expensive pendant, “The Heart of the Ocean,” featured in James Cameron’s “Titanic,” was not completely fictitious -- it is believed that a rather large sapphire went down with the ship that fateful night. • There is a company called Little Miss Matched that sells packs of mismatched socks. • Syphilis was a major problem in the late 19th and early 20th century. Doctors found that the bacteria that caused it was sensitive to heat, so they thought giving a patient a fever could help get rid of it. How did they induce said fever? With malaria injections! While effective in curing syphilis, some patients unfortunately died from -- you guessed it -- malaria. • Instant noodles topped a Japanese poll of the country’s greatest inventions of the 20th century. • Freelancers originally referred to self-employed, sword-wielding mercenaries: literally, “free lancers.” • In ancient Rome, having a crooked nose was considered a sign of leadership. • Andrew Lawrence, ran two hours, 47 minutes and 41 seconds in a banana costume during a London marathon in order to secure the title of the fastest time to run a marathon while wearing a fruit costume. • Before mercury, brandy was used to fill thermometers. • Author William Faulkner refused a dinner invitation from JFK’s White House. “Why, that’s a hundred miles away,” he said. “That’s a long way to go just to eat.” • Founded in 597 AD, The King’s School, in Canterbury, England, is the world’s oldest institution of learning. • Polar bears have black skin. And their fur isn’t actually white! It’s see-through, so it appears white as it reflects light. • * It’s illegal in Vermont to prohibit anyone from putting up a clothesline.

HORMONE REPLACEMENT: ENCOURAGING LAZINESS – PART II
In Part I Hormone Replacement – Encouraging Laziness, information was given about how taking hormone replacement therapy (HRT) encourages organ laziness. We didn’t discuss how to change that. There are many forms of HRT. We take exogenous hormones (hormones that are produced outside of the body and fed to the body) versus supporting the endogenous hormones (hormones made by the body itself) in many forms. Pills, creams, injections, sublingual tablets, etc. We take hormones produced from organs/glands such as thyroid hormones, pineal hormones (melatonin), adrenal hormones (DHEA), sex hormones (birth control pills, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone), pancreatic hormones (insulin), etc. While it appears on the surface to be beneficial to supplant hormones the body isn’t sufficiently producing, in the long run, it may be more beneficial to support the organ that is supposed to be producing it in the first place. If the thyroid, for instance isn’t producing enough T4 or converting it to T3, why? Is there an issue with the liver and its ability to do the conversion process, is there excess cortisol, is there iron deficiency anemia, blood sugar issues, adrenal insufficiency, is there calcium excess issues contributing to a loss of cell permeability, what mineral and fat deficiencies are there, are there parathyroid issues, how is the pituitary and hypothalamus doing?
If the thyroid isn’t doing its job, is the thyroid the problem or something else? Most doctors don’t do enough tests or ask enough questions or do enough exploration or investigative work to determine what is wrong. It’s too easy to just prescribe hormone replacement. Only after doing some serious investigative work when any endocrine organ isn’t supplying enough hormones, can we come up with a real remedy that not only discourages laziness in organ/gland function, but encourages proper function. Solutions vary widely depending on who isn’t doing their job. It could be as distant as poor digestive function, or a direct problem with the organ/gland. Solutions vary from lifestyle modifications, dietary adjustments, improving nutritional status through concentrated food supplementation or the need for acupuncture to help restore function. There may need to be support via a detoxification program to take the load off the liver so it can do its job. It may also be that there are medications that are inhibiting proper organ/gland function. Please don’t stop taking HRT or any medication without professional guidance. Some medications are worse than others, but weaning off hormone replacement medications, if you choose to do so, can be serious. The symptoms can be really difficult and can take a year or longer to taper off. Having said that, the only way to safely go off from any medication is to no longer need it. That means you have to correct the problem, not just mask it. The good news, is that you can.

Sarge the Landlord
I poked my head in the coffee shop door, got waved in out of the cold and found the veterans busy at their assigned tasks. One was selling coffee at the carry-out window. One was brewing up a fresh pot. Somebody was banging around in the kitchen. One was sweeping the floor. The rest were arrayed around the room in their lawn chairs, lifting their feet as the broom came by. Sarge got up from his spot at the counter, cocked a finger at me and led the way around the corner to a dark, narrow staircase. “You’re the only one of the bunch who can climb these,” he said. At the top of the stairs was ... nothing. Just a large attic space. “I’ve decided,” he said, flipping on a light, “to turn this into a dormitory for six. What do you think?” I paced off the space. “Depends who’s going to live here,” I said. He looked surprised that I didn’t know. “Well, homeless veterans,” he replied. “There’s a good half dozen in town who avoid government like the plague. They could live up here once it’s finished off, stay warm, if we can keep off the town’s radar.” I asked a bunch of questions, and clearly Sarge had thought it through. “They avoid the shelter because they get kicked out at seven in the morning, druggies steal their belongings and start fights. Here they could hang out, fix meals downstairs. Maybe get a couple of them started on jobs around town. They’d sign a lease with me, pay rent, 10 dollars a week, no excuses. No drugs, no women. I’d put in a computer and internet. What do you think?” I paced off the space again, imagining a completed room. “What I think,” I replied, “is that this is the best idea I’ve heard in a long, long time.” (c) 2021 King Features Synd., Inc.

It’s coming: Valentine’s Day. Yes, love is grand, but for millions of unmatched humans, it’s a challenging and stressful time of year filled with sappy “significant other” sentiments. It leaves a lot of us feeling left out. Don’t despair! If you’ll permit me a math metaphor, one may be less than two, but it’s certainly not zero. If you need a grand love affair this Valentine’s Day, you should feel free to have one with yourself! You are pretty great. Here are some women (and men) who found themselves to be a worthy partner -- and some of them found love too. “Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion” -- Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow play two seemingly ditzy blondes traveling from their ho-hum life in LA to their 10-year high-school reunion in Arizona. They borrow a car, invent new, much more successful histories and attempt to turn the heads of their former classmates. But what these besties find is that real success doesn’t rely on subterfuge; it’s knowing and being true to who you are. “First Wives Club” -- Three college friends are reunited after the death of a friend, only to find that all have been cast aside by their husbands for younger women. The gals decide that payback is the best revenge, but in executing their best-laid plans, they find a larger, deeper purpose: helping other women. Starring Bette Midler, Goldie Hawn and Diane Keaton. “Legally Blonde” -- This character has become an American icon for standing up for yourself and believing in your own worth. Elle Woods is a privileged beauty with a handsome beau -- who dumps her after graduation, on his way to Harvard Law. She hatches a plan to secure her own spot at Harvard to get him back, and in doing so uncovers her own potential. “Waiting to Exhale” -- Four Black women experience heartbreak and deception from the men in their lives, turning to each other for consolation and support. They say “waiting to exhale” is holding your breath until you find the right relationship. But you must first find the strength within yourself to leave a bad situation before you can find the right one. Starring Angela Bassett, Whitney Houston, Loretta Devine and Lela Rochon. “Hitch” -- For Alex Hitchens (Will Smith), love can be found and secured with the right level of finessing, and he’s built a “date doctor” business to prove it -- helping normal guys get a leg up by making the right moves at the right time. Enter cynical city journalist Sara (Eva Mendes), who, despite their fierce attraction, exposes Hitch’s vocation -- inadvertently ruining the burgeoning genuine relationship of an accountant (Kevin James) and an heiress (Amber Valetta). Both Hitch and Sara must face their true selves to make things right. (c) 2021 King Features Synd., Inc.

“Dementia Behaviors: Expert Tips for Understanding and Coping”
By Matilda Charles
New World, New Ways of Getting Things Done
We’re in a whole new world now, and unfortunately it looks like it’s not returning to normal anytime soon. So many things have changed, and we need to make some adjustments to how we take care of ourselves. Timing: Whatever you need to do, do it earlier than you think you should. If you’re going to apply for Social Security, don’t wait until the last minute. Staffing might be lower than normal, with fewer workers to take up the slack. If you need an appointment, such as for an oil change for your car, do it sooner than you normally would, for the same reason. If you’ve been ordering groceries for pickup or delivery, you might notice a renewed slowdown in available time slots as stores, in many cases, have fewer clerks. Taking care of business: Even if you eligible to receive the COVID vaccine, don’t assume you can get one just by walking in. Make an appointment. Ask about parking and physical distancing. Although the shot is free to all Americans, bring your insurance card to help the provider pay for administering the vaccine. Be proactive: Do you know when your credit card expires? In the past you were likely sent a new one just before it expired, with instructions to cut up the old one. Now, with quite a few things slipping through the cracks, you might not notice your card has expired until you try to pay for a grocery order. Check your card and anything else with an expiration date, including the date of the tag renewal for your vehicle. (Note: I learned the hard way that my state is no longer sending out notices of tag expiration.) We can get through this, but we need to think about every step. (c) 2021 King Features Synd., Inc.
Merritt Whitley writes the following: Anger, confusion, and sadness are a few symptoms a person with dementia may experience regularly. Even though you know your loved one’s dementia behaviors are symptoms of a disease and not intentional, dealing with them is often emotionally and physically challenging. Learn more about typical dementia behaviors and expert tips for managing them. Common Dementia Behaviors: A person with Alzheimer’s or another type of dementia may become irritable and even belligerent without being provoked. They may go in and out of confusion and disorientation or attempt to manipulate those around them. Here are examples of common dementia behaviors and phrases you may hear: Aggression: This behavior includes being mean, lashing out, or using combative statements such as “I don’t want to take a shower!” or “I don’t want to eat that!” Sometimes this type of anger may escalate to physical violence. Confusion: This could mean saying phrases like: • “I want to go home!” • “This isn’t my house.” • “When are we leaving?” • “Why are we here?” Paranoia and frequent mood swings also often result from a person with dementia feeling confused. Poor judgment: This can include unfounded accusations such as “You stole my vacuum cleaner!” Struggling to balance a checkbook or calculate a tip at a restaurant can also be the result of dementia. Other examples include hoarding, stockpiling, and repeating statements and tasks. Manipulation: This usually involves inventing truths to get what they want. A person with dementia may say things like “You told me I could drive to the store,” or use bargaining methods such as “If you let me drive to the store, I will take my medicine.” Managing dementia behaviors may be difficult, but it’s not impossible. Your words and actions have the power to quickly deescalate intense situations. Follow some expert do’s and don’ts for calmly and effectively dealing with these four common types of dementia behaviors: Aggression: “A lot of times, aggression is coming from pure fear,” says Tresa Mariotto, a social services supervisor in Bellingham, Washington, and certified trainer in dementia and mental health. “People with dementia are more apt to hit, kick, or bite in response to feeling helpless or afraid.” Do: The key to responding with care to aggression caused by dementia is to try to identify the cause. What is the person feeling to make them behave aggressively? • Are they in pain? • Is their mind just wandering? • Have they been triggered by something?... Don’t: “The worst thing you can do is engage in an argument or force the issue that’s creating the aggression,” Napoletan says. “Don’t try to forcibly restrain the person unless there is absolutely no choice.” How to manage repeated questions and confusion:
Page 13
Do: When your aging loved one is confused about where they are or what’s happening, try these tips from the American Psychological Association: • Communicate with simple explanations • Use photos and other tangible items to help explain situations • Remain calm and supportive, and don’t take their confusion personally • Use tools such as alarms, calendars, and todo lists to help them remember tasks Don’t: Lengthy explanations don’t work. “You have to figure out what’s going to make the person feel the safest,” says Mariotto. “Even if that ends up being a therapeutic lie…” How to help with poor judgment: The deterioration of brain cells caused by Alzheimer’s disease leads to poor judgment and errors in thinking. Some of these symptoms are obvious and apparent such as hoarding household items, accusing a family member of stealing, or forgetting how to do routine tasks. These tasks can include balancing a checkbook or paying bills on time… Do: A caregiver can often minimize frustration and embarrassment for dementia patients by: • Listening and offering subtle help • Working together to fix a problem • Simplifying a task or routine by breaking it down into smaller steps… Don’t: Blatantly questioning the person’s ability to take care of the situation at hand or arguing with them isn’t helpful. You may risk alienating them… How to deal with attempts at manipulation: Your loved one may have lost the ability to distinguish between truth and falsehoods, and they may no longer have a sense of morality around lying. These symptoms can be especially difficult for a caregiver to handle as it may feel like a complete change in personality. In fact, a person with dementia may not realize they’re lying… Do: • Separate the behavior from the person, and do not hold it against them • Set limits when possible, communicate expectations clearly, and work together to find a resolution when you’re able to • Remain aware of your own personal responses. Do you feel angry, hurt, or frustrated? If so, do you act on these emotions around your aging family member? Acting on these emotions can bring more distress to an already stressful situation Don’t: • Bring up events to prove or disprove statements • Use accusatory language such as “you’re lying” or “you’re being manipulative” • Engage in heated arguments Dealing with dementia behaviors can quickly wear out a caregiver or family member. If you care for a person with dementia and are feeling resentment, anxiety, or depression, don’t hesitate to seek help. A caregiver support group, counselor, friend, or family member can offer support and advice… The staff at The Lodge Assisted Living at Riverside Harbor Secure Facility in Post Falls is gifted with loving and caring for your loved when the time is right for them, and for their family.
