Freedom of the Press!

Lives were taken last week by some that feel there should not be any freedom of the press. I don't find mocking other religions necessary, but it should be acceptable.

Without our freedom here in the USA, I would have been arrested and tried by attorneys and cops for my humor in the Tidbits.

CHA-CHA

by Kathy Wolfe Tidbits is doing the cha-cha this week!

We’re not just looking at that dance and a couple of others, we’re exploring all kinds of other words that begin with cha-.

• Cha-cha music was first introduced in 1953 by a Cuban composer and violinist Enrique Jorrin. A French dance teacher Pierre Zurcher-Margolie visited Cuba to study their dance methods and devised the ballroom dance he dubbed the chacha.

• The chaconne began as a lively spirited street dance in 16th-century Spain, but gradually transitioned into a slow majestic dance performed by courtesans by the 18th century.

• The chasse dance movement consists of quick gliding steps with the same foot always leading. It’s commonly seen in line dancing, ice dancing, ballet, and in the ballroom. .

• It’s not very likely that the chamois you use to buff and polish your car came from a chamois. This goat-antelope species native to the mountains of Europe has hooked upright horns and grows to a height of about 31”. Because European law now prohibits the hunting of the chamois in order to preserve the species, modern car owners’ chamois are mostly made from the hides of deer, domestic goats, or sheep. turn the page for more!

• Don’t confuse challis with chalice.

Challis is a light clothing fabric of wool, cotton, or rayon, which usually has a printed design, while a chalice is a goblet most frequently used to hold drink in a religious ceremony, for example, the wine used in Communion.

• Chantilly means different things to different people. To some, it’s a community of 11,000 inhabitants in France’s Chantilly Forest, 24 miles northeast of Paris. To others, it refers to the handmade bobbin lace made there beginning in the 1600s. This intricate lace is made from silk with complex flower patterns woven from continuous silk thread. For hundreds of years, the fabric was usually black and often used for mourning wear, as well as shawls, veils, and umbrella covers. In 1958, J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson released the chart-topping song “Chantilly Lace,” which spent 22 weeks in the Top 40 and became the third most-played song of that year. The following year, the 28-year-old Bopper was tragically killed along with Buddy Holly in a plane crash while on a new tour.

Tools 4 life

By DR. Jim coyle Thriving in Battle

There is a constant war for your defeat on three major fronts: the world, your body, and your spirit. It is a battle of good (God) verses evil (Satan). The world has a desire to swallow you in its quest for power, self-promotion, and popularity. Scriptures teach us to avoid becoming swept up into the worlds obsession. We are to be the influencer not the influenced. The battle for the body has a loud voice yelling in your face that you don’t look good, you don’t feel good, and you are going nowhere. We fall prey to self-destructive addictions and diseases that beat our bodies down. Scriptures teach us that we’re hard pressed on every side but not crushed, perplexed but not in despair, persecuted but not forsaken, struck down but not destroyed and that’s why we never give up. The attack from Satan for our spirit is a constant battle ground. Understanding his ways equips us to handle his attacks.

Scriptures teach us to put on the “Armor of God “so we can stand our ground: “ Stand firm then, withonce the belt said, of truth buckled around your Napoleon Bonaparte “In victory, waist,you with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted deserve champagne. In defeat, you withneed the readiness it.” that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” Ephesians 6. God’s Spirit who is in you is greater than the devil who is in the world. Jesus won the victory over evil and now be encouraged to thrive in battle.

• In 1609, French explorer Samuel de Champlain happened onto a lake situated near the present-day border between Canada and the United States, spanning across Vermont, New York, and Quebec. Lake Champlain is about 400 feet deep and was used as a water passage between the St. Lawrence and Hudson Valleys. Samuel de Champlain claimed that he saw a monster in the lake 5 feet long, “as thick as a man’s thigh, with silver-gray scales a dagger could not penetrate.” The explorer wrote that the monster had 2.5-ft. jaws with sharp and dangerous teeth. His story is backed up by claims of the Native Americans in the area. The monster tale has found its way into the naming of sports teams and mascots, most notably, the Vermont Napoleon Bonaparte said, “In victory, Lake Monsters andonce their mascot Champ, that state’s minor league baseball you deserve champagne.

● On Jan. 20, 1937, President Franklin D. Roosevelt is inaugurated for the second time as president. The Constitution had originally set March 4 as the presidential inauguration date to allow the winner time to travel to the nation’s capital. ● On Jan. 25, 1949, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences holds its first annual awards ceremony in Los Angeles.

The now-famous award statuette “Emmy” was a feminized version of “immy,” the shorthand term for the image orthicon tube that was used in TV cameras until the 1960s. ● On Jan. 24, 1956, Look magazine publishes the confessions of J.W. Milam and Roy Bryant, two white men from Mississippi who were acquitted in the 1955 kidnapping and murder of black teenager Emmett Till. In August 1955, on a visit to relatives, the 14-year-old Till had allegedly whistled at a white woman who ran a store. ● On Jan. 21, 1977, President Jimmy Carter grants an unconditional pardon to hundreds of thousands of men who evaded the draft during the Vietnam War. Some 100,000 young Americans went abroad, with 90 percent going to Canada. The Canadian government had instructed border guards not to ask too many questions. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

• We’ve all used chalk throughout our lives, but what exactly is chalk anyway?

It’s a porous form of limestone, composed mostly of calcium carbonate. It usually forms underwater on the sea bed from the gradual accumulation of tiny calcite plates and marine organisms. England’s White Cliffs of Dover are the most famous deposit of chalk, although large quantities are also found in Denmark.

Today’s blackboard chalk used in classrooms is actually a manufactured substance made from gypsum, which is calcium sulfate. Some chalk is formed from talc, which is magnesium silicate.

• World-renowned fashion designer Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel came from very humble beginnings, born to a peddler and a laundress in 1883. When her mother died 12 years later, Chanel’s father put her and her two sisters into an orphanage run by nuns. They never saw him again. During her six years in the orphanage, Coco was taught to sew, a skill that shaped the remainder of her life. Before her clothing career, she was a nightclub singer, but in 1910, financed by her current love interest, she opened her first shop in Paris. In the 1920s, she introduced the legendary Chanel suit and the timeless “little black dress” as well as her signature Chanel No. 5 perfume. By 1935, her company had over 4,000 employees. TIME magazine has included Coco Chanel on their list of “The 100 Most Influential People of the 20th Century,” the only fashion designer to receive this honor.

NOTEWORTHY INVENTORS:

PATRICIA BATH

Although the name Patricia Bath is not wellknown, her invention has provided sight to thousands of people around the world. Tidbits’ focus this week is on this brilliant ophthalmologist who was a pioneer in cataract surgery.

• Patricia Bath was raised in Harlem by her father, an immigrant from Trinidad, and mother, who was a domestic worker. Her father, a part-time newspaper columnist and former merchant marine, was also the first African-American man to work as a motorman for the New York City subway system. Her mother saved her salary for her children’s education, and gave Patricia her first interest in science when she bought her a chemistry set.

• Patricia became interested in medicine after studying the life of Dr. Albert Schweitzer and his ministry to lepers in the Congo. At age 16, she had already been invited to attend a cancer research workshop sponsored by the National Science Foundation.

• After graduating high school in just twoand-a-half years and receiving the National Science Foundation’s scholarship, she went on to a degree in chemistry followed by a medical degree, completing her residency in ophthalmology, the branch of medicine concerned with eye diseases and conditions.

She was the first African-American to complete a residency in ophthalmology.

• While involved in a fellowship at Columbia University, Patricia worked in the area of corneal transplants and keratoprosthesis, a procedure that replaces the human cornea with an artificial one.

• While working at Columbia, Patricia noticed that African-Americans seemed twice as likely to suffer from blindness than other ethnicities she was caring for, as well as eight times more likely to develop glaucoma. Concluding that this was due to the lack of access to good medical care, Patricia Bath developed a community ophthalmology system for those unable to afford treatment.

• A move to California brought her to a faculty position at the University of California as professor of surgery and ophthalmology, as well as a position at the UCLA Medical Center as the first African-American woman surgeon. In 1977, she co-founded the American Institute for the Prevention of Blindness, an organization devoted to “protect, preserve, and restore the gift of sight.”

• In 1981, Patricia began working on her famous invention, the Laserphaco Probe, and after years of research and testing, she received a patent for this device which uses a laser to vaporize cataracts through a 1-millimeter insertion into the patient’s eye. This enables the patient’s own lens to be removed and a replacement lens inserted in a nearly painless procedure. Her invention gave sight to individuals who had been blind for decades.

• Patricia Bath is the first African-American female doctor to receive a medical patent. She continued work on the Laserphaco Probe and received additional patents on its innovations.

In 2000, she was granted an additional patent for a method she developed for the use of ultrasound technology in the treatment of cataracts. Now in her 70s, Patricia continues to pursue her lifelong passion – the prevention, treatment, and cure of blindness.

Yoga for Your Heart It’s been known for a long time that yoga improves overall health, but a recent study points to evidence that yoga also helps heart health.

Researchers at Harvard University did a review of the literature, meaning they went back through past studies to see if there were any patterns. They screened more than 1,400 studies and winnowed them down to 32. These were examined further to answer the questions: Does yoga help heart health? Is it as good as walking for exercise?

The answers: yes and maybe, although more trials need to be run. There were improvements in cholesterol, weight and blood pressure, all indicators for cardiovascular risk.

Two species of edible mushrooms begin with cha-, the champignon, which is the mushroom species most commonly used in cooking, such as the button mushroom. The other is the chanterelle, which is an orange or yellow, meaty, funnel-shaped variety.

The number one way to conserve energy this winter is to ensure that all your home's ductwork is sealed at the joints with foil-backed duct sealing tape or silicone caulk. Ductwork can leak heated air into your attic or crawl space, and cold outside air can be drawn into return ductwork, increasing your heating bill.

The American Heart Association likes yoga as a means of relaxation and flexibility, increasing muscle tone and circulation, and agrees it could help prevent or improve heart disease. (It cautions, however, that it shouldn’t be counted in the 150 minutes of weekly aerobic activity it recommends.)

Yoga classes can be expensive. Your best bet is to check the local senior center, and if it doesn’t have any classes, encourage the center to start some: maybe one focusing on flexibility and strength, and another on stretching and relaxation, and designed for seniors. Check with a cardiac rehab center for suggestions on yoga classes.

Any yoga class you take should be designed for beginners.

Ask your doctor before you start yoga, or any other program, to make sure it’s right for you, especially if you have “The greatest scholars are not usually the cardiovascular risk factors.

One complication in the research is that there are different types of yoga, each with its own focus or purpose. The one thing any yoga can do is calm the nervous system and reduce stress, and that contributes to heart health.
