August 28 through September 3 is World Water Week, an opportune time for Tidbits to communicate some details about the clear, colorless, odorless liquid we know as water! • Everyone has referred to water as H2O at some point, a reference to its chemical formula. Each water molecule is made up of two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom. Water exists in three different states – liquid, solid (ice), and gas (steam or water vapor). It’s the most common substance on Earth. • About 71% of the Earth’s surface is covered with water, about 326 million cubic miles of water. Of that water, 96.5% is salt water found in seas and oceans, and is not fit for consumption. Another 1.7% is in groundwater, another 1.7% in glaciers and ice caps, and a small fraction in other smaller bodies of water. Less than 0.3% of all fresh water is found in rivers, lakes, and in the atmosphere. Less than 1% of fresh water is available for human consumption. Over 90% of the world’s fresh water is in Antarctica! • Every 2.2 lbs. (1 kg) of sea water contains about 1.2 oz. (35 g) of dissolved salt. The more salt in the water, the lower the freezing point. Sea water with an average level of salt freezes at 28.4 degrees F (-2 degrees C). turn the page for more!

“GET YOUR LIFE BACK!”
WATER (continued): • Water boils at 212 degrees F (100 degrees C) at normal conditions at sea level. However, water’s boiling point changes according to the barometric pressure, boiling at 154 degrees F (68 degrees C) on top of Mt. Everest. • About 65% of the human body is made up of water. The brain is about 70% water, muscles are 75%, blood is 92% water, and bones consist of about 22% water. It’s no wonder that drinking enough water on a daily basis is important! While the body can survive more than a month without food, it can only stay alive about a week without water. Most recommendations are for eight cups of water per day, however, not all must be in liquid form. Almost all foods contain some percentage of water. • We should drink water even when we’re not thirsty. By the time you feel thirsty, you have lost more than 1% of your body’s total water amount. The body loses about a cup of water (237 ml) every day by exhaling it. • Water intoxication, known as hyponatremia, occurs when a person drinks too much water too quickly. This is the result of the water diluting the bloodstream’s sodium level, causing an imbalance of water in the brain. A person might experience confusion, disorientation, nausea, and vomiting, which can lead to seizures, coma, and even death. About 6.3 qts. (6 liters) can kill a 165-lb. (74.8-kg) person. • Ever wonder why ice floats on water? It’s because frozen water is 9% lighter than water! • To be considered “saline” water, it only takes one-thousandth of the weight of water from salt, to be dubbed “salty.”

Does Dog Stink ... Or Not?
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: After we played with my dog “Jerry” in the backyard, a friend who was visiting told me that he stank. She said dogs should get baths every week. I don’t think Jerry smells bad, just sweaty, and my mom doesn’t give him a bath very often. Is what my friend said true? -- Sara in Madison, Wisconsin DEAR SARA: What one person thinks is a bad smell, doesn’t smell like anything to another person. This often can be true with dog owners, who are a little more accustomed to how their pet smells. This can be especially noticeable to visitors (and even owners) after a dog has been out romping in warm weather, or in the rain. Dogs don’t have a lot of sweat glands, but their
undercoat and fur retain oils, dirt and other things, creating a somewhat distinctive funk. Does that mean your dog needs frequent baths? Not really. Too many baths can dry out their skin, leading to irritation and potentially infections that can make your dog really stink -- and be utterly uncomfortable. After playing in the yard, you can rub Jerry’s coat with a spare towel to knock off excess dirt. Check him over for burrs and ticks, and look at the bottom of his paws to make sure nothing is trapped between the pads. Then let him relax and cool off. Jerry should get a bath -- using lukewarm water and non-perfumed pet shampoo only -- a couple of times a month, or whenever his coat gets too muddy to easily rub off.

WATER (continued): • The U.S. and Canada are the world’s largest consumers of water. About 346,000 million gallons of fresh water are used across the U.S. every day. How are we using this water? About half of America’s water usage is related to the generation of thermoelectric power. The average home will use over 100,000 gallons (83,267 Brit.) in a year. It takes 70 gallons (58.3 Brit.) just to fill the bathtub. Depending on the shower head, a five-minute shower will use between 15 and 25 gallons (12.3 and 20.8 Brit). The largest use of water in the home is flushing the toilet, with the average use between 80 and 100 gallons (66.6 – 83.3 Brit) per day for this activity. In fact, flushing the toilet just one less time per day could save a lake measuring 1 mile x 1 mile x 4 feet deep. (1.6 km x 1.6 km x 1.2 m) Just one less gallon of water per shower every day would save 85 billion gallons (70.7 billion Brit) of water in a year. • It takes over 42,000 gallons (34,972 Brit) of water to fill a 30x50-foot swimming pool. That pool will lose about 1,000 gallons (3,785 liters) a month to natural evaporation. • Every day around the world, 2.5 billion gallons (2.1 Brit) of water are used to irrigate golf courses. • It takes about 6,800 gallons (5,662 Brit) of water to grow one day’s worth of food for a family of four. • If you think you’re saving water by washing dishes by hand, consider that this will use seven times more water than using your dishwasher. • Every second, 750,000 gallons (624,505 Brit) of water rushes over Niagara Falls. It takes the average American home about 7 _ years to use that same amount of water.

“Avon Calling” Q: I have some Avon containers dating back to the 1980s and ‘90s. They depict famous people and characters such as Ben Franklin and Little Bo Peep. I would like to know if items such as these Avon products are collectible, and what they might be worth today. -- Lucy, Rio Rancho, New Mexico A: Avon was founded in 1886 as the California Perfume Company. Even though the Avon line was introduced during the 1920s, it wasn’t officially identified as Avon Products, Inc. until 1939. In recent decades, Avon items such as figural bottles, jewelry and even company catalogs have become collectible. One of the better guides is “Bob Hastin’s Avon Collector’s Encyclopedia: Avon and California Perfume Products, 1886 to Present.” Hastin is an Avon authority and has written several books, all of which would be helpful in determining values. A second source is the National Association of Avon Collectors, a non-profit organization to further the Avon collecting hobby. This group can inform you about regional Avon collector clubs. A $1 donation is requested, plus a self-addressed, stamped envelope. The address is NAAC, Department AT, P.O. Box 7008, Kansas City, MO 64113.

Q: I have a Big Little Book of “Li’l Abner in New York” that originally belonged to my dad. It is in pristine condition. I am thinking of selling it if the price is right. -- Ken, Paradise, California A: Al Capp created Li’l Abner in 1934 for United Features as a daily comic strip, and two years later a Sunday page. The series featured a zany cast of characters that included Daisy Mae, Mammy and Pappy Yokum, Marryin’ Sam and Sadie Hawkins. Comic books soon appeared and a radio show debuted on NBC in 1939. There also was a Broadway show based on the citizens of Dogpatch that opened in 1956 and romped through 700 performances at the St. James Theater in New York. The film version of the musical was released in 1959. What you have is a Big Little Book from 1936 and the first Li’l Abner book published. Ted Hake of Hake’s Americana and Collectibles believes your book could be worth as much as $120 if it is in the condition you claim. Write to Larry Cox in care of KFWS, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803, or send e-mail to questionsforcox@aol.com. Due to the large volume of mail he receives, Mr. Cox cannot personally answer all reader questions, nor does he do appraisals. Do not send any materials requiring return mail.

* In 2012, a Swedish man named Henrik Ismarker was fed up with people speeding down the road in his Stockholm neighborhood, so he went to the local police department and asked them to crack down on drivers going too fast. In response, a speed trap was set up, and Ismarker himself got a speeding ticket the very next day. He was embarrassed, he said, but added that he was “very satisfied with the police response.” * Thanks to extremely flexible jaws, the African egg-eating snake can swallow an egg that’s much larger than the diameter of its head. It also can tell with a flick of the tongue whether an egg is fresh or not.
* According to a recent study, kids in the South have more playtime with their parents than kids in other parts of the United States. In a nationwide survey of parents with children ages 2 to 8, 76 percent of Southern parents say they play with their kids at least once a day. Compare that to the West at 46 percent, the Midwest at 40 percent and the Northeast at just 38 percent.

Online at www.lovemytidbits.com WATER (continued): • About 85% of U.S. residents receive their water from the over 54,000 public water facilities across the country. The average resident might use 175 gallons (145 Brit) per day compared to 5 gallons (4.1 Brit) used by the average African family, who typically walk an average of 3.7 miles (6 km) a day to collect that water. Every day, 200 million hours are used by women collecting water around the world. • About 780 million people across the globe have no access to an improved water source. About 80% of illness in developing countries is waterrelated, with 3.4 million people perishing each year from water-related causes. Two hundred children die every hour from unsafe water. • Bottled water consumption continues to rise every year, with the average American drinking over 30 gallons (25 Brit) a year. Total sales exceed $13 billion annually, yet out of all the water used each year, bottled water accounts for only 0.01%. • The first water pipes were made from firecharred bored-out logs. Today, there are about one million miles (1,609,344 km) of water pipes and aqueducts in the U.S. and Canada, enough to circle the globe 40 times. • Because the Earth’s water is being constantly recycled, you might take a drink of water today that existed during the era of the dinosaurs. • If you have “hard water” in your area, this refers to a higher amount of dissolved calcium and magnesium in the water. This doesn’t present a health issue, but hard water does contribute to a mineral buildup in your plumbing fixtures and water heater, along with causing poor performance of soaps and detergents.

UNUSUAL ANIMALS: KOALAS September is Save the Koala Month, an effort to protect these unusual animals. Here’s what you need to know about these cuddly marsupials of Australia. • Although most of us refer to these animals as koala bears, they are not bears at all, but rather marsupials, or pouched mammals like kangaroos and wombats. Since their appearance is “bear-like,” they are frequently called bears in error. • Another misconception about koalas is that they live in rainforests. They only live in eucalyptus forests in eastern Australian as well as some of that country’s islands. Although there are about 600 different species of eucalyptus trees, the koalas only choose about 12 of those for their habitat and food, preferring those that are at least 30 feet (9.1 m) tall. They rarely leave the trees, sleeping for almost 20 hours a day, with their sharp claws gripping the tree. Their metabolic rate is half that of most mammals. Koalas don’t have much of a social life, spending only about 15 minutes a day in any type of social interaction. • Koalas are herbivores, subsisting only on the eucalyptus leaves. The fibrous, low-nutrition leaves require most of the koala’s energy to digest. These leaves are extremely poisonous to most animals; however the koala’s special digestive system allows them to remain unharmed by the toxins. A typical koala might eat 2 _ lbs. (1.1 kg) of leaves a day, which causes them to reek of the aroma of eucalyptus oil. There is so much moisture in the leaves that a koala rarely needs to drink water, leading the indigenous tribes to name them boorabees, burrenbong, koolawong, bangaroo, and banjorah, words that translate in Aboriginal languages to “no drink.”

For Advertising Call (740) 446-4543 KOALAS (continued): • A baby koala about the size of a jelly bean at birth, blind and furless, and is moved into the mother’s pouch shortly afterward where it will remain for six or seven months to continue its development. After it emerges from the pouch, the joey rides on its mother’s back for another six months or so. The young koala isn’t fully weaned until it’s a year old. • The koala will grow to a height of 23.5 to 33.5 inches (60 to 85 cm) and weigh about 20 lbs. (9 kg) Those in southern Australia grow bigger and have thicker fur than their counterparts in the north. Their brain is very small, 60% smaller than other marsupials, weighing just 0.68 oz. (19.2 g). • A male koala has a scent gland in the middle of his chest that secretes a dark sticky substance. Whenever he enters a new tree, he “marks his territory” by rubbing his chest against the tree’s trunk or branches. • The life expectancy of a koala in the wild is about 20 years. They have very few natural predators, only dingos and large pythons, plus owls and eagles that prey on their young. The number of koalas is decreasing because of the destruction of their natural habitat, as Australia’s industrial and urban development swallows up the eucalyptus forests. A single koala needs about 100 trees to stay alive. Many koalas die from collisions with vehicles and from attacks by large domestic dogs, about 4,000 a year. In the wild, a koala dies from starvation, as its teeth begin to wear down and they are unable to chew enough to feed themselves properly.

MARSHMALLOWS August 30 is observed as National Toasted Marshmallow Day. What better time for Tidbits to focus on this tasty little confection! • Around the year 2000 B.C., the ancient Egyptians began using a wild herb found growing in marshlands to produce a sweet treat. The roots of the marsh mallow plant, or Althaea officinalis plant, (related to the cotton plant), provided a sap that was boiled with sugar or honey until the mixture thickened, after which it was strained and cooled. The little candies were given only to nobility and Pharaohs, and it was a punishable crime for others to consume them. • During the 1400s and 1500s, the medicinal qualities of the mallow’s sap were discovered, and it was brewed to make treatments for sore throats, toothaches, coughs, digestive issues, and as a poultice to combat inflammation. The doctors of the 1800s cooked the plant’s roots with egg whites and sugar, then whipped the concoction into a meringue that hardened into sore throat lozenges. • French candy makers were the first to create marshmallows as we know them today. However, each one was created individually in small molds, an expensive and slow process. In the late 1800s, an improved method of manufacture known as the starch mogul system, employed a machine that automatically filled trays with corn starch, after which the sap, egg whites, corn syrup, and water were poured in. As the process continued to improve, gelatin replaced the mallow root in the list of ingredients. The method became less expensive and the treats were available for the common man, sold in tins as penny candy.

Online at www.lovemytidbits.com MARSHMALLOWS (continued): • Production of marshmallows was revolutionized in 1948, when one of the founders of Campfire Marshmallows patented a system that pressed the mixture through tubes, then cut it into equal-sized pieces. • In 1954, the Just Born candy company introduced a machine that would massproduce marshmallows shaped like baby chicks, and the famous Peeps were born. The process required a special nozzle that moved back and forth to cut the marshmallow into the chick shape. Prior to this invention, it took 27 hours to create one of the yellow chicks. The process today requires about six minutes. It wasn’t until the 1980s that the Peeps bunny made its debut. Up until 1995, Peeps could be found in pink, white and yellow. Lavender was introduced that year, followed by blue in 1998. More than a billion Peeps are produced each year. • In 1964, General Mills brought Lucky Charms to the grocers’ shelves, the first cereal to contain marshmallows. The oat cereal was mixed with pink hearts, yellow moons, orange stars, and green clovers, and remained that way until 1975 when blue diamond marshmallows were added. In 1983, purple horseshoes joined the group, red balloons in 1989, green trees in 1991, and rainbows in 1992. Different shapes have come and gone over the years, but today’s permanent list has eight. • It takes about 60 minutes to create one marshmallow. Each large marshmallow contains 25 calories. • Who doesn’t love s’mores, that combination of a roasted marshmallow and a chocolate bar sandwiched between graham crackers? The 1927 Girl Scout handbook “Tramping and Training with the Girl Scouts” was the first publication to list a recipe for the treat.

By Keith Roach, M. D, What’s the Best Age for Shingles Vaccine? DEAR DR. ROACH: You have written many times about chickenpox, shingles and the shingles vaccine. My question concerns the age at which one should get the vaccine. Most doctors and other sources recommend 60 and above; however, I am concerned about more and more younger people getting shingles, in their 50s and, in one instance, a woman in her 30s. Are these isolated cases? I am a 48-year-old female, and I did have chickenpox as a child. My husband’s insurance will pay for the vaccine at 50, and I intend to get it then. What are your thoughts? -- L.A.B. ANSWER: The vaccine is indicated by the Food and Drug Administration for those ages 50 and up, but advisory groups have recommended the vaccine to people over age 60, since the complication of post-herpetic neuralgia is more likely, lasts longer and can be more severe the older you get. It is reasonable to get the vaccine at 50 if you want, but it’s important to get it at age 60 or over if you haven’t already had it. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: A 95-year-old does not get enough blood flow to her lungs because she has a leaky heart valve. She is chronically short of breath after a small amount of exertion. Her leg strength is low, and she has to use a walker to safely get around. She lived with a smoker for a few decades, and he died decades ago, but she never smoked herself. Would supplemental oxygen help, by enriching the air in her lungs, thus allowing blood to get more oxygen from the lungs? -- Anon. ANSWER: Supplemental oxygen can improve symptoms and make people live longer in a few specific instances. The most prevalent is probably people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) whose blood oxygen level is below 89 percent. Some other lung diseases also benefit from oxygen. In cases of poor blood flow due to heart reasons, including valvular disease, oxygen doesn’t help. It’s possible that the 95-year-old you are writing about has some lung disease due to secondhand-smoke exposure. It is easy now for doctors to check oxygen levels, and that would indicate whether she would benefit. Readers: COPD typically causes shortness of breath, especially with activity. The booklet on COPD explains this progressive disease in detail. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Roach -No. 601W, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow 4-6 weeks for delivery. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 17-year-old cross-country and track runner. I had a stress fracture of my shin. I have not been running and have been on crutches for one month. Are there foods I should eat? Exercises to do? The doctor only said not to walk on it. What else can be done to heal the stress fracture? -- J.G. ANSWER: Stress fractures are common, especially in younger athletes, especially runners. Most often, they get better just by avoiding exercises that cause pain. A diet with adequate calcium and vitamin D, or supplements, may speed healing. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

* On Sept. 9, 1776, the Continental Congress formally declares the name of the new nation to be the “United States” of America, replacing the “United Colonies” that had been used in Thomas Jefferson’s version of the Declaration of Independence. * On Sept. 10, 1833, President Andrew Jackson announces that the government will no longer use the Second Bank of the United States, the country’s national bank, and withdraws all federal funds. Jackson resented the bank’s lack of funding for Western expansion. * On Sept. 7, 1911, avant-garde French poet Guillaume Apollinaire is arrested and jailed on suspicion of stealing Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa.” No evidence surfaced, and Apollinaire was released. Two years later, a former employee of the Louvre, Vincenzo Perggia, was arrested while trying to sell the famous painting. * On Sept. 11, 1921, Fatty Arbuckle, a silent-film era performer at the height of his fame, is arrested in San Francisco for the murder of aspiring actress Virginia Rappe. After two mistrials, the jury in Arbuckle’s third trial found him not guilty and even issued him an apology.

* On Sept. 5, 1958, Boris Pasternak’s romantic novel “Dr. Zhivago” is published in the United States. The book was banned in the Soviet Union, but still won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1958 after admirers smuggled out the manuscript. * On Sept. 6, 1972, a West German police attempt to rescue nine Israeli Olympic team members held hostage by Palestinian terrorists ends in disaster. All nine hostages were killed. Terrorists from Black September had stormed the Israeli quarters in the Olympic Village in Munich early the previous morning. * On Sept. 8, 1986, Nissan’s first European manufacturing plant opens in Sunderland, Britain, an area hit hard by plant closings. Some 25,000 people applied for the first 450 jobs advertised. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

Are You Getting All Your Benefits? You might be eligible for benefits you don’t even know about. The National Council on Aging has a website that identifies benefits such as getting help paying for prescription medicine, utilities, winterizing, food, health care, transportation and much more. Go online to BenefitsCheckUp.org and complete its questionnaire. There are two ways to do this: If you click Can I Get Help?, you’ll be asked four simple questions -- your ZIP code, monthly income, month and year of birth and what kind of assistance you’re looking for. Start with this short questionnaire and see if the results get you the information you need. If not, go to the more-comprehensive questionnaire. For the full benefits checkup, click on Find Help. The questions are much more detailed and a bit intrusive, including questions about whether you’re a veteran, what kind of assistance you already receive, what medical conditions you have, what assets you have and more. However, if you need a full range of help, this questionnaire might be your best bet. The results you get will consist of links to other sites that can answer your questions. For example, if you want to know about home delivery of meals, you’ll be directed to your local food-distribution source, perhaps an organization that creates and delivers meals. If you need help paying utilities or having your home winterized, the links will take you to the right places to get that information. If you need help paying property taxes, you’ll be directed to your state’s homeowner assistance site. The top of the BenefitsCheckUp website says they’ve helped over 5 million people find $17 billion worth of benefits. Maybe you’re eligible for some of those? If you’re about to retire on a limited income, know in advance some of the possible assistance available. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

VA Bungles Solar Projects
By harvesting the sun’s rays and converting them into electricity, solar panels can mean big savings on electrical costs. To get those savings, however, the solar projects have to actually be completed. The Office of Inspector General for the Department of Veterans Affairs investigated 11 solar projects undertaken by the VA and rated them on the end result. These projects had been awarded between 2010 and 2013. Between 2010 and 2015, the VA spent $408 million. By March of 2016, only two of the 11 projects were up and running. Solar projects are designed to be completed in less than 372 days. The projects the VAOIG inspected (at least the ones that were finished) had an average completion time of 1,269 days. In Arkansas, an $8 million solar panel project had been created in the parking lot. It was never activated because it had to be dismantled when a new parking garage was built. The finish date was to be May 2013, and cost overruns are already at $1.5 million. In California, a company was awarded a $22.5 million solar project in 2011, with an expected finish date of 2012. The state’s historic preservation office got involved and required modifications to the plan, something nobody apparently considered. The solar array started producing electricity in 2015. In Florida, a project was delayed for almost five years because no one realized that the roof of the parking garage would need to be raised to accommodate buses. And so on, through another half dozen projects. In one, the connection point wasn’t indicated on the plans. Another has been delayed 28 months so far, with one problem being welds versus bolts. The VAOIG issued four suggestions for future improvement. The interim assistant secretary for management disagreed with two of them, including doing a lessons-learned analysis.
