TIDBITS® GETS STUCK IN TRAFFIC

by Janet SpencerOn August 5, 1914, a stoplight was installed on the corner of East 105th Street and Euclid Av-enue in Cleveland, Ohio. It had two colors, red and green, and a buzzer to provide a warning for color changes. This allowed police and fire sta-tions to control the signals in case of emergency. It was the world’s first traffic light. Come along with Tidbits as we fight our way through traffic!THE FIRST FACT“Traffic” comes from the Italian “traffico” mean-ing “to trade.”DANGERS OF DRIVINGWhen autos were a new invention, Tennes-see passed a law stating that any motorist who planned on taking a ride had to forewarn the community by placing notices in the local pa-per a week before the ride was to occur. In 1912 Nebraska passed a law stating all drivers at night had to shoot off a rocket every 150 yards, wait eight minutes, then drive ahead while blowing the horn and firing Roman candles.STARTLING STATISTICSIf you are between 5 and 35, you’re more likely to die in a traffic accident than from any oth-er single cause. One out of every 60 children born today will die in an auto accident. Traffic accidents take twice as many lives as do guns, knives, and all other weapons combined.

What is Tidbits?

FATHER OF TRAFFIC SAFETY• William Phelps Eno was nine years old in 1867 when he went to New York City with his mother. When the performance at the New York Opera House let out, their horse and carriage got involved in the subsequent traffic jam which re-quired two hours to untangle, even though only a dozen carriages were involved. Eno never forgot the experience, and devoted the rest of his life to improving traffic control. • This became increasingly important as horses were replaced by cars on the streets of the nation. In 1903 Eno published “Rules of Driv-ing” which became a primer for drivers. He in-vented such rules of the road as slow traffic keep right and passing allowed on the left only. He invented one-way streets, safety islands, rotary traffic, pedestrian crosswalks, the stop sign, the taxi stand, and traffic cops. • Still, Eno felt that stoplights would never work and traffic cops would always be needed at intersections. He preferred rotaries to stop sig-nals as the best way to keep traffic flowing. This concept strongly influenced the building of Pic-cadilly Circus in London and the rotary around the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. He was awarded the cross of the Legion of Honor by the French government after World War I because his traf-fic system allowed the French to speed 60,000 troops to Verdun to halt the German advance to-ward Paris and turn the tide of the war. • Eno lived long enough to see his ideas imple-mented throughout the country. He also made many trips to Europe and Asia to help them with their traffic control problems. William Eno died in 1945 at the age of 86.Throughout his life, Wil-liam Eno, known today as “the father of traffic safety,” hated to drive. His chauffeur drove him everywhere.-FACT-15% of drivers get 76% of all traffic tickets.

STOP SIGNS• Although William Eno invented the stop sign, it was the Mississippi Valley Association of State Highway Departments who came up with the sign’s iconic shape. In 1923, they developed a system of street-sign shapes still used today. Their idea was that the more sides a sign has, the higher the danger level it invokes. They reasoned that the circle, which has an infinite number of sides, screamed danger, so it was used for rail-road crossings. The octagon, with its eight sides, was used for stop signs, the diamond shape was for warning signs, and the rectangle and square shapes were used for informational signs. • It took a bit longer to determine the stop sign’s color. It wasn’t until 1935 that traffic engineers created the first uniform standards for the na-tion’s road signage. They recommended stop signs be yellow with black letters. The 1954 re-vision, however, called for the stop sign to be red with white letters. Before then, they could not produce a reflective material in red that would last without fading. It just was not durable. It wasn’t until a suitable product was invented in the 1950s that stop signs became red.NO STOPING ALLOWED• In 1944, the newspaper in Durham, S.C. report-ed that a local man had been taken to traffic court for parking his car in front of a sign that said, “No Stoping.” The man pleaded not guilty. The sign should have said, “No Stopping” (with two P’s). He argued that “stoping” meant to extract ore, and he certainly had not been extracting ore. He moved that the case be dismissed. The judge agreed, and the spelling on the sign presumably was corrected.-FACT-• A quarter of all car accidents are rear-end col-lisions.

ACCIDENTAL SIGNS• In 1751 George II of England erased a debt he owed to George Deakins by telling him he could have 600 acres of land in Maryland. Deakins was determined to get the best 600 acres he could, so he hired two sets of surveyors to look over the land and tell him what they thought. Neither team knew about the other team, so Deakins was amazed when each group recommended the same plot. Deakins considered this an accident of fate and dubbed the land “The Accidental Tract.” Today the town that grew up there is known as Accident, Maryland. They have trouble prevent-ing their interstate signs from being stolen. The signs say, “Accident Ahead.”UNIQUE TRAFFIC CONTROL• The town park in Napa, California had plenty of traffic control signs, stop signs, and signs asking drivers to slow down. Still, the park was plagued by accidents. Finally the City Park Superinten-dent purchased 85 chickens, releasing them in the park to act as traffic controls. The chickens did nothing except strut around, completely oblivi-ous to all traffic. But drivers were so reluctant to run over the birds as they wandered around on the roads that they slowed down considerably. The accident rate plunged and only nine birds were lost the first year.R.I.P.• On November 16, 1983, folks in Caldwell, Idaho removed “Red-Eyed Pete,” the last traf-fic light on Interstate 80. After its demise, peo-ple were able to drive coast-to-coast nonstop. Three morticians were on duty when Red-Eyed Pete was dismantled, laid out in a horse-drawn hearse, and carried a mile to his grave. The may-or delivered a eulogy as the casket was lowered into the ground. His headstone read, “Here lies Red-Eyed Pete, the one red light you need no longer beat.”

It was Flannery O’Connor, noted American writ-er of novels and short stories, who made the fol-lowing observation: “Everywhere I go I’m asked if I think the university stifles writers. My opin-ion is that they don’t stifle enough of them.”

In Saudi Arabia, there is an entire police unit dedicated solely to the pursuit of crimes of witchcraft.

Lee DeForest, known as the Father of Radio, said in 1926, “While theoretically and techni-cally television may be feasible, commercially and financially I consider it an impossibility, a development of which we need to waste little time dreaming.”

Eleanor Ritchey was the granddaughter of Phil-ip John Bayer, founder of Quaker State Oil. She was the sole inheritor of her grandfather’s for-tune, and she had no children of her own. When she died in 1968 she was worth $12 million. Other than some shoes (1,700 pairs) and statio-nery (1,200 boxes) that she left to the Salvation Army, her entire estate was used to create a trust for the 150 stray dogs she had adopted. The pets lived in luxury, dying of old age one by one, un-til 1984, when the last one -- the richest dog in the country -- also succumbed. The remainder of the inheritance then went to Auburn University.

If you’re planning a trip to Syracuse, N.Y., you might want to take a detour about 35 miles east to the small town of Verona. There you can visit the world’s smallest church -- but don’t plan to go in and have a seat. Cross Island Chapel is only 6 feet by 3.5 feet. The minister can stand inside, but everyone else has to stay outside.

Thought for the Day: “If you can’t get rid of the skeleton in your

closet, you’d best teach it to dance.” -- George Bernard Shaw

WHAT IS ACUPUNCTUREMore than 2 decades ago when I first earned my license to practice Acupuncture, the question "what is acu-puncture" accompanied nearly every response to "what I do". Today, most people have heard of acupuncture, at least, but still don't know much about what it is, and what it does.Acupuncture is the traditional health treatment technique, refined over thousands of years, that involves the insertion of very fine, hair-like needles into "acu-points". Acu-points are spots in the skin that follow a specific pattern, called a "channel" or "meridian", that flows up and down the body from head to toes (and fingertips). These channels are named after the organ they have the most influence on: therefore, we have a stomach channel, heart channel, large intestine channel, bladder channel, etc. Along these channels, each acu-point has a specific group of functions that may or may not be related to the organ channel it is on. For example, an acu-point along the Large Intestine channel not only treats disorders of the large intestine, but also stimulates an immune response and is used when someone is ill.Many studies have been done on the acu-points in an effort to understand how they work. What we have discovered is interesting, but still not fully understood. For instance, there is a difference in the electrical conductivity of the skin where an acu-point is located (more conductivity), that is different than a non-acu-point. The histology (skin tissue) is even different. There is increased density of receptors (twice as many), specifically structured bundles (such as neurovascular bundles and others), that differ from non-acupuncture points. There is a battery affect at the tissues when a needle is inserted as well as the release of various peptides, especially those that modulate pain.Acupuncture research has demonstrated that when acupuncture releases pain peptides, that it enhances the central pain inhibition mechanism and breaks the vicious circle of pain. It is able to counteract the imbal-anced sympathetic nervous system and assists in organ regulation. Its communication is via an axonal reflex. Every acu-point is associated with a particular therapeutic purpose, and when combined with other points can have completely different actions.There are about 365 acu-points that are on the main channels, about 700 extra points, and several micro-systems. A micro-system is an acupuncture pattern within a pattern. Auricular (ear) acupuncture is one such micro-system. Anything wrong in the body can be treated using only ear points. Typically, we use ear points to treat addictions, emotional trauma (such as PTSD), high blood pressure, food and sugar cravings, weight loss, and sleep disorders. However, those can be treated using body points as well.Acupuncture is becoming more popular, as more people are enjoying the health benefits. In March 1996 the FDA finally reclassified acupuncture from being "experimental" to being a legitimate medical procedure. In 1997 the National Insti-tutes of Health Consensus Conference on acupuncture in Washington concluded that "Promising results have emerged, for example, showing the efficacy of acupuncture in ...[and it goes on to list the many conditions acupuncture is successful in treating]. It then listed other useful areas of adjunctive treatment, then the state-ment "further research is likely to uncover additional areas where acupuncture interventions will be useful".Acupuncture has been around for a long time because it works. Best of all, it is natural, safe and effective.

New Food Guidelines Reveal Cancer RiskIt used to be much simpler to know what to eat. Remember the Basic 7 food groups we ate as children? That became the Basic Four. Then for years we followed the Food Pyramid, which was followed by MyPyramid. More recently we have MyPlate telling us how what to eat. Then there were all the changes to specific foods. Coffee was good, and then it was bad. Chocolate was bad, and then it was good.Add aging and physical changes and doctors’ orders, and our diets have likely changed even more. We haven’t known why, really, we should eat or avoid certain foods.Now we do know.The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine has created a graphic that shows ex-actly how harmful or helpful certain foods and drinks are -- and how likely they are to increase or reduce risk of cancer. Here are some of the specific cancer risks from the graphic:¥ Two glasses of milk per day causes a 60 per-cent increase in the risk of prostate cancer. Dairy protein products do, too, but at a rate of 32 per-cent increased risk.¥ Two or three glasses of alcohol -- 21 percent increase. Processed meat -- 21 percent. Red meat -- 28 percent.¥ A “Western diet” (burger, fries and a drink) -- a whopping 200 percent.On the other side of the scale, cruciferous vege-tables (broccoli, cabbage) lower the risk 18 per-cent. Fruits -- 11 percent. Carotenoid vegetables (think: orange color) -- 19 percent. A healthy lifestyle in general gets us a 30 percent decrease in cancer risk.Before you make any big changes to your diet, run this information by your doctor and ask for advice. Given how fast the guidelines change, there might be updated news.

COUCH THEATER -- DVD PREVIEWSBy Sam Struckhoff

PICKS OF THE WEEK“Divergent” (PG-13) -- In a grimly gray futuristic version of Chicago, people are assigned to groups based on personality types and aptitudes. Teenage Triss (Shailene Woodley) is a Divergent -- she doesn’t fit into any of society’s groups. An uptight faction ruler hatches a plot to exterminate the Divergents, forcing Triss to team up with a hunky peer named Four (Theo James) in a fight against the forces that keep humanity contained. This is the latest young-adult fiction sensation to jump from book to big screen. Viewers will notice some stark similarities to other movies spun from young-adult novels -- a strong female protagonist in a dystopian setting forced to fight against an oppressive society, for starters. Unfortunately for this semi-sleek thriller, it does not stand a chance in a head-to-head challenge with “The Hunger Games.” “Oculus” (R) -- Two young siblings, Kaylie and Tim, fall victim to a cruel supernatural evil lurk-ing inside an old mirror. The spirits of the mirror kill the kids’ parents and make young Tim look like the murderer. Now grown up, the brother and sister (Karen Gillan and Brenton Thwaites) are determined to prove to the world that the mirror is truly evil, clearing Tim of any guilt. As they try to document the terror that ruined their lives, Kaylie and Tim are forced to relive the nightmare of their childhood. This family-based horror flick goes for the suspense-and-atmosphere style of scares, and doesn’t do much with gore-and-guts. It’s a slow burn. The film bounces back and forth between the childhood trauma and the adults who are trying to deal with it -- it builds the dread if you’re able to ride with it. “God’s Not Dead” (PG) -- In a college introduction to philosophy class, the first assignment is to write “God is dead,” on a piece of paper and sign your name. Josh (Shane Harper) is a freshman student who refuses to forsake his faith, and he is then challenged to prove God exists and debate the professor in front of the class. This is all stretched out by a bunch of subplots where all non-Christians are hilariously awful people. There’s even a cameo by some “Duck Dynasty” people, for some reason. This movie only knows how to preach to the choir. “Twelve O’Clock Boys” (NR) -- This short documentary explores an urban phenomenon: dirt bikes and four-wheelers screeching down the street of Baltimore’s poorest neighborhoods. The Twelve O’Clock Boys are a local nuisance who do stunts on their illegal vehicles, able to elude a cash-strapped police force operating under a no-chase policy. The documentary follows “Pug,” a little boy who dreams of nothing more than riding with the gang.

Ortho Biotic by Ortho Molecular & ProFlora Intensive by Biogenesis NeutraceuticalsProbiotics are getting to be a big thing, just watch T.V. and you’ll see commercials about yogurt with live cultures (and lots of sugar) or famous athletes touting an over-the-counter probiotic. But why are there so many new ads about probiotics when purchases of every other supplement (multi, vit. d, fish oil) are down? Because you can’t deny the studies. There are so many different strains of good bacteria for your gut and so many new studies, such as the Human Microbiome Project, that are proving over and over the health benefits of good bacteria in our bodies. Here are some fun facts about bacteria and our bodies: -There is more bacteria in your body than stars in the Milky Way galaxy - There are 10 times more bacteria in your body than human cells - 29% of the bacteria in your body (majority) is in your GI tract, and 26% is in your mouth. - Good flora (good gut bugs, probiotics) assists metabolic function, protect against pathogens and help balance inflammation and immune system - Over use of antibiotics creates a ‘sterile’ gut, absent of GOOD or BAD bacteria. Sterile gut contributes to autoimmune disease and food sensitivities/allergies. - Having good gut bacteria balance positively influences body composition and promotes healthy weight and mood What do we do for sterile gut or bad bacteria balance? Well, we start by colonizing the gut with good bacteria in high doses. If you are a frequent antibiotic user, or have never recolonized your gut after antibiotic use, start with ProFlora Intensive by Biogenesis. It contains 10 strains of microbes equaling 112 Billion Colony Forming Units (CFU) to really create a change. This will be the shove you need to get out of the ditch. After a 10 day therapy of Pro Flora Intensive you can maintain a good bacteria balance using Ortho Biotic by Ortho Molecular. It contains seven strains of bacteria equaling 22 billion cfu, just the right daily dose. Other ways to im-prove good bacteria balance are avoiding sugar and refined carbohydrates as they just feed the bad bacteria, and eat fermented food like sauerkraut and kimchi which contain good bacteria. Try kefir or kombucha as probiotic drinks, but always check the amount of sugar in everything you consume.

Until August 15th, buy ProFlora Intensive and Ortho Biotic together and receive 5% off. Limit 2 per customer per visit.

Regardless of education and work history, people who challenged their brains at least three times per week delayed the onset of cognitive decline by more than three years compared to those who did less.“Individuals with greater educational/occupa-tional ‘brain reserve’ are more resistant to the effects of cognitive decline,” said Kevin Duff. “However, if you don't get this reserve early in life, then it appears that cognitive stimulating ac-tivities in mid/late life can also have beneficial effects.”Duff, who was not a part of the new study, is a neuropsychologist at the Center for Alzheimer's Care, Imaging and Research at the University of Utah Health Care in Salt Lake CityOther studies have supported the notion that cognitive activity at various points throughout life is protective against cognitive decline and dementia.It makes sense that challenging yourself mental-ly “keeps brain connectivity up and running.”Compared to dementia, cognitive decline is mild, Duff said.“It does not tend to interfere with daily activities, like driving, managing meds, handling money, cooking,” he said. “When it does get so severe that it interferes with daily activities, then we usually diagnose this as dementia.”Stimulating activities could include reading, do-ing crossword puzzles, playing bridge, painting, taking a class at a community college, playing a musical instrument, or even playing video games he said. People should pick activities they enjoy because they are more likely to keep doing them, he advised.These results could be useful both for individuals and for public health authorities, Vemuri said.“For people with low education, if you’re able to help them by providing mentally stimulating activities later in life, that could delay cognitive decline by three years, and that really is a big number,” she said.Another great mental activity? Learn a new lan-guage and visit the country where it's spoken! And remember, don't forget your fish oil, the brain's best source of food.

Challenge the Mind Challenging the mind early with education and stimulating work, and later in life with reading, socializing and computer use, may help keep it thinking clearly into old age, according to new re-search.In the study of people in their seventies and eighties without de-mentia, those with more years of educa-tion, mentally stimu-lating jobs and greater amounts of cognitive

activity in middle and later life started experi-encing memory and thinking problems up to nine years later than those with the least enriched lives.Although education and employment seemed to be more important overall, mid- and later-life cognitive activity accounted for at least a few of the extra sharp-witted years. And those with less education early in life saw the largest benefit from mental stimulation in later life.To gauge the effect of exercising the mind regu-larly later in life, the team used questionnaires to assess how challenging the study participants’ school and work had been, as well as how much they challenged their brains during their middle age and later years with activities like reading, socializing or using a computer.Men and women who had more years of educa-tion and worked in a mentally stimulating job, experienced mental decline about five years later than people with less education or those who worked in more manual jobs, according to the results published June 23 in JAMA Neurology.But it was encouraging how much later-life activ-ity seemed to make a difference for people who had less education and less stimulating jobs.

Preventing SunburnDEAR PAW’S CORNER: Can dogs get sunburned? -- Greg D., New York

DEAR GREG: Yes, they absolutely can. A dog’s fur provides only a little protection from the sun, and exposed parts of its skin -- such as the nose, ears, belly and paws -- can get burned as quickly as any hu-man’s skin burns, within 30 minutes (or less) of direct summer sunlight. And dogs are at risk of getting skin cancer, just as humans are.

Short-haired and light or white-haired dogs are especially vulnerable to sunburn.

So, how can you keep your pet from getting burned? Preventing direct exposure is the best way -- that means keeping dogs inside during the hottest part of the day. Keeping dogs hydrat-ed also is important, so always have cool water on hand.

When they do go out, especially if it’s sunny or you will be out for awhile, put sunblock on those danger areas, like the nose and ears, the tops of their paws and their belly.

Pet sunscreen is available at stores like Petco. In a pinch, children’s or baby-safe sunblock is bet-ter to use on dogs than sunblock developed for adult humans. It’s gentler on your dog’s skin and causes less of a reaction.

Don’t use sunscreens that contain zinc oxide or PABA, which if ingested can cause health prob-lems like anemia in some pets.Reapply sunscreen to the dog every couple of hours when outside, and keep your dog in the shade or inside as much as possible.

Famous CanadiansHENRY SETH TAYLOR• Henry Seth Taylor was a natural tinkerer and a watchmaker by profession. Born in Stanstead, Quebec, in 1833, he loved to experiment with machines. He invented the first sofa-bed and an early version of a phonograph. He is best known, however, for building Canada’s first steam-pow-ered car.• Self-propelled steam-powered horseless car-riages had been around for years by the time Taylor unveiled his own model, but Taylor’s had the distinction of being the first car built in Canada.• He designed the steam buggy and created much of it himself, machining cylinders, drive shafts, and axles. The boiler was at the rear of the car-riage and was connected to a front water tank by two rubber hoses. A hand throttle controlled the speed both forward and reverse, and a tiller controlled the steering. Because the local roads were badly rutted and there seemed little chance of Taylor’s losing control, he never installed brakes, an oversight he would later regret. • In September of 1867, the Stanstead Journal reported on the newly completed “steam bug-gy,” which was to be unveiled at the upcoming Stanstead Fair. “This mechanical curiosity is the neatest thing of the kind yet invented, the whole carriage, engine and boiler only weighing 500 lbs. It is intended to run without noise or smoke, and will probably show some fast time.”•The day that Taylor drove his new buggy onto a field at the Stanstead Fair, a hose burst, releasing steam and bringing the vehicle to a halt. Taylor had to push it off the field amid ridicule from onlookers. Despite the humiliation, Taylor made the necessary repairs and continued to drive his steam buggy around town. (cont’d next page)

Burial Benefit Just Got Easi-erAs of July 2014, surviving spouses no longer need to apply for burial benefits after the death of a veteran. It used to be that survivors had to submit receipts and forms after the burial of a veteran, and then wait for the reimbursement check. The amounts were small: $300 for a non-service-connected death, and $2,000 if it was service-connected.Now, as the Department of Veterans Affairs tries to cut back on the number of claims it processes, the authorized amounts will be paid automati-cally once it’s notified of a veteran’s death. Un-fortunately, the amounts will remain the same.The veteran still will be eligible for other ben-efits. A headstone (granite or marble) or marker (granite, marble, bronze) will be provided at no cost, but there is likely to be a cost for place-ment if it’s not a national cemetery. A medallion can be provided to attach to a headstone that was privately purchased at a civilian cemetery. For questions or to check status of headstone appli-cations, you can call 1-800-697-6947. Survivors also can apply to receive a keepsake burial flag.This year, the VA estimates it will pay the ben-efit to 62,000 surviving spouses.If you’re a surviving spouse, a funeral director will typically take on the task of notifying the VA and Social Security, but don’t take that for granted. Ask.To find the nearest VA state or national ceme-tery, go online to www.cem.va.gov. You’ll find more information about burial benefits and eli-gibility for burial in a national VA cemetery. To reach the National Cemetery Scheduling Office, call 1-866-900-6417.

HENRY SETH TAYLOR, cont’d• On a subsequent drive through the village, however, Taylor and his car were involved in what might be described as the first automobile accident in Canadian history. While descending a steep hill, the car began to pick up speed, careen-ing out of control. Without any brakes and with a fully stoked, scalding-hot boiler at his back, he had no choice but to jump out of the vehicle, which overturned at the bottom of the hill. The car was a wreck, and its frustrated builder gave up on it, turning his attention instead to building a steam-powered yacht.• After salvaging its boiler for his new yacht, Taylor scrapped the car in the back of his barn, where it languished until long after his death in 1887. It was nearly a century before it was re-discovered and taken to the United States. Restored by an antique car buff (this time with brakes added), it was returned to Canada, where it is now the property of the Science and Tech-nology Museum in Ottawa. Finally receiving the recognition it deserved, “Taylor’s Folly” was de-picted on a stamp in 1993.• In 1904 Canada’s automotive industry began with the establishment of Ford Motor Company of Canada, Ltd. By 1913 there were some 50,000 motor vehicles in Canada; between 1918 and 1923, Canada became the world’s second largest vehicle producer and a major exporter of auto-mobiles and auto parts. • Today, Canada is the eighth largest auto pro-ducer in the world and the third largest exporter, after Japan and the U.S. More than 80% of Ca-nadian-made cars are exported. The automotive industry is the largest manufacturing sector in Canada. Canada has one of the world’s highest ratios of automobiles to inhabitants, with more than 33 million people and more than 18 million registered automobiles, of which more than 75% are private cars.

Dear Tamara ;I recently read an article you wrote about hair loss, I found it very interesting. I have a ques-tion for you about me, I am losing my hair and have been for the last year and half. I went to see my doctor, they recommended I go see a dermatologist I did they really had no solution for me. How could you help me ??confused about hair!!!!

Dear Ms Confused :Our hair clinic is for hair loss in men, wom-en , and children. We help find the diagnostic causes of your hair loss or scalp issues, and develop preventive and restorative programs for you.

There are several tests that we can do to help us determine what is causing your loss of hair. None of these tests causes any discomfort to the client as they are noninvasive. These tests help us determine nutrient levels in your body, some of which may be lacking and others that may be too high, as well as metals that may be in your body. The tests also determine what your hormones are doing. All of this tells a sto-ry about you, which helps us determine your deficiencies and areas that are out of balance.

There are several to hundreds of reasons why someone has lost or is losing the hair. Medi-cation, Hormone deficiencies, Stress, Auto Immune diseases, improper care of hair , bug bites, environmental reactions, vitamin/min-eral deficiencies just to name a few. Our job at A1 Tamara's Hair Clinic & Salon is to find out what is causing your hair loss. At A1 Tamara's Hair Clinic & Salon we have the knowledge and ability to do just that.

Our owner/operator is a licensed medical Trichologist which is a medical term for the study and treatment of hair problems. She is a specialist in this field, is a graduate of the University of Trichology and is a life menber of the ATMA,IAT.

We will set you up with an appointment. At that time you will be given instructions on what you need to bring with you when you come in for your consultation with us.

Air Conditioner AlternativesQ: What is the difference between an air condi-tioner and an evaporator? Is one better for my home? I just need something to cool the front room occasionally in the summertime, and I hate window units. -- George F., Burlington, Vt.

A: An evaporative cooler can be a cost-effective alternative to an air conditioner, but it’s not al-ways the best choice. Also known as swamp coolers, evaporative coolers add humidity to the air in your house. They bring in air from the out-side, pass it over water-soaked pads, and blow that humidified air inside.If you live in a hot, dry climate like the South-west, a swamp cooler can be a very efficient way to cool the house. In hot, humid climates, not so much, because the air in the house is already humid.Air conditioners work well in humid climates because they help remove some of that humid-ity from the air. While they’re not dehumidifiers per se, the unit recirculates air in the room. As that air passes over the air conditioner’s evapo-rator coil, the moisture in the air condenses and is drained from the unit, while the air is blown back into the room. That process helps cool the air and reduce mugginess.Both units need regular maintenance: An evapo-rative cooler’s pads need to be changed every few weeks while in use, and an air conditioner’s filter needs to be cleaned or replaced each month in the warm season.If you hate lugging window units in and out of the window each year, look into buying a por-table air conditioner. These typically cost more than window units (sometimes twice as much for the same BTU level) but can be rolled from room to room as needed and stored out of the way when not needed. Just remember that the portable unit’s ventilation hose must vent out-side, meaning the unit needs to stay near a win-dow. And you probably will need to empty the condensation tray regularly, in cheaper units.A final alternative is natural ventilation. If you get cool nights or steady breezes, open windows in the early morning and late evening, and invest in heavy curtains to cover windows in which the sun shines during the afternoon. Add an electric fan to keep fresh air circulating constantly. In certain climates, this can give you a comfortable home except for the hottest, most humid days of the year.

HOME TIP: BTUs are important in buying an air condi-

tioner, so find out the minimum BTU level you need for the space you’re trying to cool before

purchasing.

CAR DESIGNERS• Most people think Henry Ford was the first per-son to construct automobiles using an assembly line. But they’re wrong – the idea was actually invented by a man whose first name was Ran-som. • Ransom was born in Ohio in 1864. His father was a blacksmith who owned a machine shop, so Ransom grew up tinkering. He developed an internal combustion engine and founded his own car company in Lansing, Michigan in 1897. The company, and the car he produced, were named after him. The engine was successful but the car was not, so he moved the factory to Detroit and started over. • This time the car sold better, until his factory burned down and he had to start over again. In 1901 he got the idea for an assembly line, which increased his output from 425 cars in 1901 to 2,500 in 1902 and 6,500 in 1905. It was the first car to be produced in quantity. • For the next several years his company produced more cars than any other American company. General Motors bought the company in 1908 and produced Ransom’s cars until they were discon-tinued in 2004. • In 1912, Henry Ford took Ransom’s idea for an assembly line and added a conveyor belt, which allowed him to increase production while also dropping the price. Though Ford is generally thought of as being the father of the auto indus-try, the title truly belongs to Ransom. What was his last name, given to a car and a company?(answer at top of next page)FAILED DESIGN• In 1913 the Jackson Motor Company came out with a new model called the Duck. The steering wheel and brake pedal were located in the back seat, where the driver sat. Passengers sat in the front, where they completely blocked the driv-er’s view.

Ransom Olds invented the Oldsmobile.A SPORTS CAR• Fred and August Duesenberg were brothers who left Germany and moved to Iowa, where they es-tablished an automobile company in 1913. They named the company after themselves, and began to build sports cars. • The Duesenberg SJ roadster had a 320 horse-power engine; it could do 130 miles per hour, and could go from zero to 60 m.p.h. in eight seconds. A Duesenberg won the Indianapolis 500 in 1924, 1925, and 1927, and a Duesenberg also won the Grand Prix in 1921. It was said that, “The only car that could pass a Duesenberg was another Duesenberg.” • Not only were the cars fast and sporty, but they offered many special features and innovative de-sign improvements. They became the luxury ve-hicle of choice among nobility and movie stars. Clark Gable and Gary Cooper each drove one, as did the Duke of Winsdor and the King of Spain. The cars cost up to $25,000 in a day and age when the average physician earned about $3,000 per year. The Duesenberg brothers claimed they built the best cars in the world, and the car’s per-formance record, combined with its extraordi-nary opulence, backed them up. • The Duesenberg brothers were better car mak-ers than they were businessmen, though, and the company faltered and failed during the Great Depression. However, their name lives on be-cause the common abbreviation for the vehicles they built has come into our language as a slang word meaning something excellent, powerful, or extraordinary.

Q :I AM GETTING OLDER - ISN’T PAIN JUST PART OF THAT?

A: People experience various aches and pains throughout their lives, so age is not the primary reason for pain. We feel “old” when we are in pain, lack flexibility or cannot perform our daily activities whether we are 19 or 90! Pain, can be intermittent, continuous or chronic (longer than 6 months) and affects our mental focus, sleep, work, relationships and activity level. We often “hold” against pain which results in stiff-ness and causes more pain. Ongoing pain has also been shown to re-duce resistance to other diseases.

www.tidbitscda.comTIDBITS of Kootenai County, Idaho Issue #32 August 4th Dear Auntie M.,

Please send your questions or comments to [email protected]. I shall be

frank and honest with my response and pro-vide resources where appropriate.

I am worried about my un-cle John. He says his heart is broken and that life isn't worth living any longer. His wife of 60 years passed away last month. She was ill for many years with can-cer and she fought with all her might but it finally took her life. John was a devoted husband and pri-mary care-giver for my aunt. Now he feels like his life is empty and meaningless. He says he just wants to be with her again and that state-ment worries me. They never had children or much of a social life because of her illness and as far as I know I am their only living relative. I have a young family and husband and work full time. I feel guilty for not being more avail-able to John but my own life is all I can handle right now. John has always been in quite good health for his age but that seems to be changing quickly. He has lost weight and says he has no appetite and can't sleep. What can I do to help John through this? Concerned in Coeur d'Alene

Dear Concerned,You are right to be concerned. It sounds as if John is suffering from 'broken heart syndrome'. Statistics show that the risk of heart attack and stroke is extremely high in the first month of bereavement. This risk slowly declines during the first year. Loss of appetite and sleep lowers the immune system which in turn affects over all health. If John takes medications he needs to continue to do so as prescribed. It is crucial that he take care of himself and it doesn't sound like that is happening. Support from friends and family is important so do the best you can. Call often, and take him food he enjoys. Recommend he see his Doctor and get checked out. John has lost his reason for living and only he can decide to want to live. It is not unusual for people to fol-low their loved ones in death, especially in cases like John's. Let him know he is loved and ap-preciated and that you and your family are there for him. Feeling guilty will only make you want to distance yourself more, so drop that like a hot potato. Voice your concerns to him and offer options (independent living, travel, clubs, etc.) Ultimately John will decide if he will choose to live or choose to die.
