EARLY PIONEERS

ISSUE 878 • JUNE 30, 2104

• The Wright brothers were not the first people to fly a plane.

Seven years prior to their 1903 flight, Samuel Pierpont Langley’s 16-foot (4.8 m) plane travelled three quarters of a mile (1.2 km) and stayed aloft for a minute and a half. The Wright’s claim to fame was that they made the first flight that carried a human. Langley’s plane was unmanned.

• The world’s first fatal airplane crash occurred in 1908 when a propeller broke, sending the aircraft plunging 150 feet (45 m) to earth. The pilot escaped with a broken leg, but the single passenger, Lt. Thomas Selfridge of the U.S. Signal Corps, was killed on impact. The pilot was Orville Wright. • Many people mistakenly think Charles Lindbergh made the first transatlantic flight. Actually, he made the first solo transatlantic flight, but many other transatlantic flights were made prior to his May 20-21, 1927 solo flight. For instance, there was Capt. John Alcock and Lt. Arthur Whitten Brown who flew a converted Vimy night bomber from Canada to Ireland on June 14 & 15, 1919.

EARLY PIONEERS cont’d • When Capt. Alcock and Lt. Brown flew from Canada to Ireland, they took with them Lucky Jim and Twinkletoes— two stuffed black cats, for luck. However, these “lucky” charms didn’t do much good. First, a super-heated exhaust pipe disintegrated. Then a blinding fog moved in and the plane would have taken a nose dive into the Atlantic if the fog hadn’t cleared 100 feet above the sea. Next, ice formed over the instruments on the wing after a snowstorm and Lt. Brown had to climb out on the wing to chip it off. But in spite of it all, the two men landed safely. Unfortunately, Alcock was killed six months later while flying in a fog in a Paris air show. Brown subsequently swore off flying forever, but his pilot son was killed in World War II. • President Wilson and other important officials gathered in May of 1918 to witness the take-off of the first airmail flight. The plane was to carry mail from Washington, D.C. to Philadelphia. After take-off, the plane somehow went off course and landed in Waldorf, Maryland— which is farther away from Philadelphia than Washington is. The mail was eventually delivered by train.

• In 1938 Howard Hughes filled his plane with ping-pong balls so it would float if it went down over the ocean. He then proceeded to set the speed record for flying around the world. • On March 2, 1949, a U.S. Superfortress bomber completed the first nonstop flight around the world when it landed at Fort Worth, Texas. The plane traveled 23,452 miles (37,742 km) in 94 hours and 1 minute. It was refueled four times in flight. • In 1986, the Voyager accomplished the first round-the-world flight without refueling. Cruising at a speed between 65 and 120 mph (104 – 194 km/hr) at an altitude of 8,000 to 10,000 feet (2,500 – 3,000 m) it took pilots Rattan & Yeager 216 hours, 3 minutes and 44 seconds to travel 25,012 miles (40,252 km).

2 Bad Diseases Just Got Better Hyperthyroidism and Diabetes are the number 1 and number 2 endocrine diseases seen in the cat. One is curable and the other can be treated more effectively. Thirty years ago these diseases were rarely seen but suddenly they both have emerged to become major feline diseases. The cause of Hyperthyroidism is multi-factorial with environmental changes, stress and diet leading the list of possible inciting factors. Recently there has been a causal relationship to link polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE‛s) as a possible cause. In the late 1970‛s the EPA mandated that these compounds be used in furniture, carpets and curtains as ﬁre retardants. Shortly thereafter Feline Hyperthyroidism was ﬁrst seen affecting cats. All hyperthyroid cats appear to have elevated levels of PBDE‛s in their blood and thyroid tissue. Is this the cause or are there combinations of conditions necessary to be present for the disease to manifest itself? More research may lead to the answer. The good news is that all forms of Hyperthyroidism in humans and cats can be cured with radio-iodine therapy. It is a cost effective way to kill the abnormal thyroid cells and cure the disease. Medical treatment can be used short term but it only masks the disease and the tumor continues to grow. It is wise to treat for a cure!

Feline Diabetes has been a difﬁcult disease to treat because the cause is unknown but environmental factors and high carbohydrate diets have been incriminated. A cat‛s diabetes differs from human and dog diabetes in that the cat can become “transient diabetic”. The “transient diabetic” cat will be diabetic for a few weeks, then it‛s pancreas will start secreting insulin and the cat is no longer diabetic. A while later the cat will become diabetic again. Feline diabetes is linked with a sick pancreas and insulin resistance. The good news is that a new form of an old insulin (PZI) has been introduced and it seems to regulate the cat‛s blood glucose levels better. Add to this the ability of owners to do home glucose curves, and diabetic regulation has taken a big jump forward. The cure for diabetes may be the next step with genetic engineering of pancreatic replacement cells. Dr. James K. Olson is "The Meow Doc", a nationally recognized veterinarian specializing exclusively in cats. Dr. Olson holds the title of Diplomate, Feline Specialty, from the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners. He is certified to practice nuclear medicine by the State of Colorado Department of Radiaton Safety. His practice is located in Castle Rock, Colorado.

For thousands of years the ruby has been considered the undisputed ruler in the world of gems with many hailing it the “King of Gemstones”! It has beautiful color, exceptional hardness, and a brilliance fit for a king’s crown making it one of the most valuable gemstones on earth, able to bring as much or more than a diamond of comparable size. The most important feature of a ruby is its color with its transparency being of secondary importance. Inclusions, the solid, liquid, or gaseous foreign bodies enclosed within in a ruby, will not prejudice the quality of a ruby unless they diminish its transparency or are located right in the center of its table. Inclusions can even increase the value of a ruby because it is considered a fingerprint of the stone providing evidence of individuality and giving proof that it is of natural origin. The most important ruby deposits in the world are found in the small town of Mong Hsu in the North-East of Myanmar (Southeast Asia). Deposits are also found in Thailand, Sri Lanka and Tanzania with minor deposits in other places around the world including Montana and North Carolina. Beware of many imitations on the market, especially glass imitations and doublets (counterfeit gems made of two pieces, either of smaller gemstones, inferior stones, or glass). If you find the perfect ruby, may I suggest you buy it! It will cost you a small fortune but will bring you great pleasure, and will be an investment well worth keeping.

Colorado Yard Water Play Make Your Own Backyard Water Park! Now that the kids are on summer break, it’s time to start enjoying this Colorado weather. While the air conditioner is always a welcome treat on a hot day, nothing beats playing outside in the water. No need to pack up for a day at the beach – water play can be just as fun at home in your own yard. Sprinklers Sprinklers have long been considered much more than a simple lawn watering device. In fact, these easy-to-install tools provide hours of outdoor fun on a hot day. Set up your sprinkler in an open space in your yard, as this will allow for extra running room as the kids jump through the spouts of water. As a bonus, your lawn will receive some muchneeded moisture in the process.

The Hose With Advanced Network/Mobile Ready Technology

Go back to basics and cool down with your outdoor hose. For added fun, attach a multi-function nozzle that will allow for various levels of spray intensity. Many nozzles nowadays include mist, sprinkler, and jet functions that kids love. Mini Pool Who says adults can’t cool off in a mini backyard pool? Climb on in with your kids and splash around. Most stores keep kiddie pools in stock once the spring hits, so you’ll have no trouble finding one that fits the size of your yard. Worried about getting a sun burn? Set up a beach umbrella at the side of your pool to escape harmful UV rays. Water Balloons

Video Security Systems They’re more affordable than you think.

There’s nothing quite like an old-fashioned water balloon fight. Give each participant a bucket full of balloons to use and go wild. Specialty balloons designed for water can be found at many party/toy stores, so be sure to ask around.

CLICK HERE for DIY tips Water Table Remember the water table from kindergarten? It was always the most popular play station, and it’s easy to see why. Complete with tubs of water, buckets, float toys, and even bubbles in some cases, water tables can provide hours of outdoor fun. Simply set up bins of water on a flat table in a shaded area and enjoy! With the help of H20 and a little imagination, you’ll be on your way to a home built Colorado backyard water park in no time.

A recent study in the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) Journal, General Dentistry, defines Halitosis as a term to describe “any disagreeable odor of expired air”. Bad (or Stinky) Breath “is a generally-accepted term for foul smells emanating from the mouth.” Over 80 million people (and those nearby!) suffer from chronic bad breath.

Q. Do certain foods cause “Stinky Breath”? A. Yes: Stinky-breath foods include the obvious: garlic, onions, very spicy foods, and coffee. These can be detected on one’s breath up to 72 hours after ingestion. I don’t know why anybody would want to do this, but I’ve “heard” that just moments after rubbing garlic on the soles of your feet, the garlic smell is on your breath. (Anybody want to try that experiment, and let me know the results?)

Q. Are there other conditions that cause stinky breath? A. Yes: Infection, either in the mouth or elsewhere can cause halitosis. Other culprits include diabetes, liver malfunction, tobacco and alcohol use, certain medications and medical conditions that cause dry mouth (Xerostomia). Stress, dieting, snoring, aging, and hormonal changes can also cause stinky breath.

Another obvious cause of “stinky breath” is smoking. Smokers Breath comes from the stinky air expired from the lungs, which then bathes across the nicotine-saturated oral tissues before being expired.

Q. Why do I have “morning breath” when I get up? A. Dry Mouth is a big reason for Morning Breath. Saliva is a key ingredient in the mouth that helps keep odor under control by helping wash away food particles and bacteria. During sleep, organ systems, including the salivary glands, slow down. Reduced production of saliva allows bacteria to multiply inside the mouth. Ever notice parts of your mouth sticking together when you wake up? That’s the “dry mouth” condition caused when the salivary glands go to sleep. Skipping breakfast, being hungry, or fasting can also cause dry mouth and morning breath. Breakfast skippers beware: Morning Mouth can reappear even after brushing your teeth. Remember to listen to your mother when she told you to NOT SKIP BREAKFAST!

Q. What causes “Stinky Breath”? A. Lots of things: Gum Disease (Periodontal Disease), wastes from bacteria, decay of food particles and other debris, poor oral hygiene, dry mouth, stomach problems, and a sinus condition called “post nasal drip”. Bacteria (“bugs”) feast on the banquet of tiny (but huge to the bugs) food particles stuck in tongue crevices, between the teeth or under the gums. In just a matter of time these voracious bugs have to go to the bathroom, and they then “poop and pee” right there on your tongue, teeth, and gums! The result - more stinky waste products known as “Volatile Sulfur Compounds (VSC’s). Sticky post nasal drip from the sinuses slides down the throat, coats the back of the tongue, and becomes a smelly layer of bacteria-loaded mucous and stinky VSC’s.
