14 inches in length on their tail, which is used for self-defense. Two grooves contain venom, concentrated under a thin layer of skin. They are not hostile creatures and don’t aggressively attack humans. They will normally swim away when approached, but will sting if stepped on. A sting usually causes pain, swelling, and muscle cramps, but is very rarely life-threatening to humans. Usually, the stinger breaks off in the wound, and surgery is sometimes required to remove it.

• It’s not unusual for large stingrays to reach a weight of 790 lbs. Baby stingrays are born fully developed, emerging as a little adult, and begin to take care of themselves as soon as they’re born.

• Stingrays generally prefer warmer, shallower

waters near the shore.

• In ancient Greece, the venom of stingrays was used by dentists as an anesthetic.

• The death of TV personality and Australian wildlife expert Steve Irwin occurred during filming in 2006, when a freak attack by a stingray pierced his heart with its long barb.

Irwin was pronounced dead at the scene.

• Sugar Ray Leonard has been a TV boxing analyst for ESPN, a television and movie actor, and contestant on Dancing with the Stars. He is also deeply involved with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

• Singer-songwriter Ray Stevens is known for his humorous novelty hits such as “Gitarzan,” “Ahab the Arab,” and “The Streak.” Born Harold Ray Ragsdale, Stevens grabbed five Grammy nominations and a win in 1970 for his serious recording “Everything is Beautiful.”

But his most famous hit is “The Streak,” Number One on the charts in 1974, a song about that decade’s fad of running nude in public. Those familiar with the song will recall its famous line, “Don’t look, Ethel!”

* It was 20th-century Japanese engineer and industrialist -- and founder of the Honda Motor Company -- Soichiro Honda who made the following sage observation: “If you hire only those people you understand, the company will never get people better than you are. Always remember that you often find outstanding people among those you don’t particularly like.” * Actress Shirley MacLaine claims that in a past life, she was a gypsy who had an affair with Roman Emperor Charlemagne. * Unless you live in a snowy mountain town, you’ve probably never heard of skijoring. In what is probably the most popular contemporary version of this sport, a skier is pulled by one or more dogs wearing a harness that allows the dogs to be directed. The racecourse can be short for sprints, or as long as 270 miles in crosscountry competitions. Equestrian skijoring is rather more like water-skiing: A horse with a rider pulls a skier on a towline through a series of jumps and obstacles.

Equestrian skijoring was a demonstration sport at the 1928 Winter Olympics in Switzerland. * Those who study such things say that honey is the only food that doesn’t spoil. So, next time you run across some 3,000-year-old honey, feel free to chow down. * At a Mets game at Citi Field, a woman lost a gold tooth down a toilet, and she decided to reach in after it. Unfortunately for her, the restrooms there use a high-vacuum system, and she was pulled in up to her armpit. Unable to extricate herself, she had to spend several hours in this undignified position until a plumber could come to her aid. *** Thought for the Day: “There is no greater fallacy than the belief that aims and purposes are one thing, while methods and tactics are another.” -- Emma Goldman (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

NONCELEBRITY TWINS We’ve all heard of celebrity twins like Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, the Property Brothers Jonathan and Drew Scott, and Barbara and Jenna Bush. But how about those sets in which one is famous and the other is not? In honor of Twins’ Days Festival (August 5 – 7), Tidbits focuses on some wellknown folks with a non-famous twin.

• Brazilian model, actress, and producer Gisele Bundchen holds the distinction of being the world's highest-paid model, and the 16th richest woman in the entertainment industry. Bundchen, worth an estimated $360 million, married New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady in 2009. What about her equally-beautiful twin sister Patricia? Patricia, five minutes younger than her sister, tried modeling for a short time, but prefers to stay in the background serving as the manager of Gisele’s career. Gisele claims she owes her success to Patricia’s exceptional management skills.

• Vin Diesel is best known for his work in “The Fast and the Furious” film series. Raised in New York City, Diesel was born Mark Sinclair Vincent, and has a twin brother named Paul Vincent. Paul remains out of the spotlight, working as a film editor, and is rarely photographed in public.

• Actress Scarlett Johansson, star of “The Avengers,” has a twin brother Hunter, three minutes younger than his celebrity sister.

Hunter did appear with Scarlett in the 1996 film “Manny & Lo” at age 12, but since then has been out of the limelight, with the exception PROMO - 08-2015 [updated] of being listed in People magazine’s list of “Hot Bachelors” in 2008. Hunter seems more

A:

It happens more often than you might think. As you mentioned, “Coach” was canceled by NBC, even though it had been greenlighted and the pilot episode filmed. Fox’s “Famous” was canceled before shooting started. HBO rescinded its series order for “Brothers in Atlanta”; it also canceled its miniseries project “Codes of Conduct” before air. FXX canceled “Cassius and Clay” before any episodes aired. Spike’s “Harvest” was canceled prior to production, as was Yahoo’s “The Pursuit.”

And finally, HBO’s “Utopia” was canceled in preproduction. Hollywood can be a fickle fellow. ***

Can you give me any scoop on the new season of “American Horror Stor y”?

Executive producer Gary Glasberg is thrilled to have Jennifer on board, saying: “We couldn’t be happier. ... She embodies everything that Jennifer Esposito we hoped for in the character of Quinn, and we can’t wait to have her come be a part of our team.” Her first airdate will be the season premiere, which is Sept. 20 at 8 p.m. ET. ***

* On Aug. 7, 1782, Gen. George Washington creates the “Badge for Military Merit,” a purple silk decoration to be presented to soldiers for meritorious action. In 1932, the U.S. War Department announced the creation of the Purple Heart. * On Aug. 5, 1914, the world’s first electric traffic signal is put into place in Cleveland. Four pairs of red and green lights, each mounted on a corner post, served as stop-go indicators. * On Aug. 6, 1928, renowned pop artist Andy Warhol is born in Pittsburgh.

He took literally the advice of an art teacher who said he should paint the things he liked. Warhol liked ordinary things, such as canned soup and soft drinks, and so he painted them. * On Aug. 4, 1944, the Nazi Gestapo captures 15-year-old Jewish diarist Anne Frank and her family in a sealedoff area of an Amsterdam warehouse.

The Franks had taken shelter there in 1942 out of fear of deportation to a Nazi concentration camp and were aided by Christian friends.

Shyness can be crippling. But some of the most presumably outgoing people are also the most famously painfully shy: Robert De Niro, Lucille Ball, Barbara Walters, Johnny Carson…

So if people can overcome it, what about dogs?

The following letter from a reader chronicles the difficulties for a dog burdened with shyness -- and demonstrates the patience required of its owner:

“I adopted an Australian/German shepherd mix almost two years ago. She is about 5 years old and very attached to me, but it’s taken a long time for her to come out of her shell.

“When I first got her, she trusted nobody and would run away and hide all the time. She was shipped from Alabama, and I don’t know whether she was ever socialized. I’ve put everything into getting this dog to trust me and can honestly say she now does. She never takes her eyes off me, and doesn’t bite or growl or even really bark.

“The problem: She’s insecure with everyone else. When my kids (10 and 14) are home, she stays in my room. I have to close the doors to all the rooms to keep her from hiding. At that point, she stays right by my side or under my feet, always happy to see me, but never excited for anyone else.

She will take treats from my husband, but she runs behind the chair to eat them. If she is panicked, she won’t take treats from anyone. She’s scared to death when walking on a leash with my husband or my kids, but walks great with me. If I’m outside with her, she’s pretty good, but if anyone else comes into the yard or she hears a strange noise, she runs to the door to go inside. She’s afraid of all noises.

“Strangely, when my husband and I are watching TV after the kids have gone to bed, she turns into a different dog: She will approach my husband and sit next to him for small periods of time. She looks happy and wags her tail. She gets excited when either of us gives her a treat, chews

YOUR

SOCIAL SECURITY

by Tom Margenau

Questions From Divorcees Q:

I am 62 years old. I had to stop working because of various medical problems I don’t need to bore you with. I am thinking of signing up for my Social Security and wanted to ask you how to do that. By the way, I am divorced. We were married for 25 years. My ex died just last year.

A.

You actually have quite a few Social Security filing options. I will go over the main ones with you.

Option One: You could just simply file for reduced retirement benefits. You would get 75 percent of your full retirement age rate. This is your simplest option. But it also is the least desirable moneywise.

Option Two: You could file for retirement and disability benefits at the same time. Because retirement claims are very simple to process, they would begin paying your reduced retirement benefits almost immediately. It would take another two or three months to complete the work on your disability claim. If the claim is denied, you simply continue to get your reduced retirement benefits. If your disability claim is approved, then your monthly Social Security check would bump up to your full retirement age rate (because a disability benefit equals a full retirement benefit rate).

Option Three: You could file for reduced divorced widow’s benefits and then later switch to possibly higher benefits on your own Social Secu-

rity record. You would get roughly 82 percent of your ex-husband’s benefit rate now. Then at 66, you could switch to 100 percent of your own retirement benefit. Or you could wait until 70 and then file for your retirement benefits and get a 32 percent delayed retirement bonus added to your monthly checks, giving you a 132 percent rate.

Option Four: You could employ option two now, and then at age 66, switch to a full divorced widow’s benefit. You would do this if your widow’s rate is much higher than your own retirement benefit.

There actually are other options -- and permutations of these four options -- that you could consider. But discussing them for now would, I think, just confuse you. Which way you go depends entirely on the monthly benefit rates involved. So you need to sit down with someone at your local Social Security office and go over all your possible filing scenarios and pick the one that is best for you.

Page 11

And the only glimmer of long-range hope I can give you is that if he dies before you do, you will then finally get 100 percent of his Social Security in the form of divorced widow’s benefits.

Q:

I took my own Social Security last year when I was 62. I was married for over 25 years to a man. We divorced 10 years ago and I have wanted nothing to do with him since! But I did just hear from a mutual acquaintance that he also is getting Social Security. Am I due anything on his record?

A:

It’s not likely -- at least while he is alive. While he is living, you could get the difference between your benefit rate and about onethird of his added to your retirement check. In other words, if one third of his is more than what you are getting, you could get the difference addADVERTISING PROOF ed to your benefits. But it is not very likely that you are getting less than one-third of his5:00 benefit.

Q:

A:

Please review carefully. Double check:  Phone Number(s)  Spelling  Prices  Hours

Social Security isn’t cheating you. Your ex-husband cheated you. Or possibly, you cheated yourself.

You said you did all the bookkeeping for the business. If that included the filing of tax returns, you should have done a better job of it. Or if someone did your taxes for you, you should have been asking some questions way back then.

The part of the tax return that assigns selfemployment income for Social Security purposes is called the Schedule SE. What likely happened is that just one Schedule SE was completed and that form had your husband’s name and Social Security number on it. But based on what you said, the income from the business should have been divided.

There should have been two Schedule SE’s prepared, one with his name and SSN and one with yours.

You might as well give up your plan to go back and file amended tax returns. To do so would require not only a lot of time and effort, but also would need your ex-husband’s cooperation. And I doubt that is going to happen.

The only good news I can give you is that once your ex-husband reaches age 62, you will be eligible for divorced wife’s benefits on his Social Security account. (He does not have to be getting Social Security himself.) You would get an amount equal to one-half of his full Social Security benefit rate.

However, today most U.S. medical doctors tend to believe that acupuncture works because it stimulates the nerves causing the release of endorphins, which are the body’s natural painkiller hormones. It’s also shown to increase blood circulation, decrease inflammation and stimulate the immune system.

Acupuncture May Help Relieve Pain, Other Ailments

DEAR SAVVY SENIOR: Is acupuncture a proven treatment for arthritic pain? I have a lot of back and neck pain and am wondering if it’s worth trying. What all can you tell me about acupuncture? --Afraid of Needles

Dear Afraid: Many well-designed studies over the years – funded by the National Institutes of Health – have found acupuncture may be effective in easing arthritis pain, and may help with a variety of other ailments too. Here’s what you should know:

First used in China more than 2,000 years ago, acupuncture has become increasingly popular in the United States over the past 40 years.

While acupuncture is not a cure-all treatment, it may be a safe, drug-free option for relieving many different types of pain including osteoarthritis, low back pain, neck pain, migraine headaches, fibromyalgia, postoperative pain, tennis elbow, carpel tunnel syndrome, dental pain, menstrual cramps and more. Studies have also shown that it can be helpful in treating asthma, depression, digestive disorders, addictions, menopause symptoms like hot flashes, and nausea caused by chemotherapy or anesthesia.

Exactly how or why acupuncture works is still not fully understood, but it is based on the traditional Eastern theory that vital energy flows through pathways in the body, and when any of these pathways get blocked, pain and illness result. It is believed that acupuncture serves to unblock these pathways to restore health.

What to Know If the thought of getting needles stuck into your body makes you a little uneasy, you’ll be happy to know that an acupuncture treatment is nothing like getting a shot. In fact, it’s quite relaxing. Here are some additional points you should know:

Page 13

ask your doctor for a referral, or you can do a search online at the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (nccaom.org) and acufinder. com. Both sites provide a national database of certified and/or licensed practitioners.

Or visit the American Academy of Medical Acupuncturists (medicalacupuncture.org), which offers a directory of MDs who are certified to practice acupuncture.

Does it hurt?

You may feel a brief, sharp sensation when the needle is inserted, but generally it’s not painful. Once the needle is in place, however, you may feel a tingling sensation, numbness, mild pressure or warmth.

Treatments:

How many treatments you’ll need will depend on the severity of your condition – 12 treatments done weekly or biweekly is very common. It’s also important to know that acupuncture can be used in conjunction with other conventional medical treatments, or by itself.

to know more about its histor y and value.

A:

The mark you provided was used by Marzi and Remy Pottery Company in Hohr, Grenzhausen, Germany. It was founded in 1880 by Anton Marzi and his brother-in-law, Simon Peter Remy. The next year they added a pewter factory to produce lids. In the beginning, Marzi and Remy Pottery’s steins were salt-glazed stoneware and in 1883 they added ivory stoneware. Since the mark includes the country of origin, Germany, it was made after 1891. The pottery was sold to S. P Gerz in 1994.

Your circa-1900 stein would probably be worth $75 to $125.

Cartoon Character Inspired Camera Name Q:

I am curious about the value of No. 2A Folding Autographic Brownie Camera that is seen in this photo. I have the original box and instruction booklet that is dated 1924. On the front of the manual are the words “Rapid Rectilinear Lens -- Eastman Kodak Company.” All are in excellent condition.

A:

Eastman Kodak Company’s Folding Autographic Brownie Camera was made in Rochester, New York. It was introduced in 1915 and discontinued in 1926.

The No. 2A model had a ball bearing shutter and used number 116 film. The photos were 2 1/4 inches by 3 1/4 inches.

There was a smaller Eastman Kodak Company introduced A- 2 Folding Autographic Camera in 1915. size that used number 120 film. Originally, the camera sold for around $13 and the case for $1.25. The name, Brownie, was inspired by a popular cartoon character.

Today a camera collector might pay $20 to $30 for one like yours. ***

I have enclosed the mark that is on the bottom of a stein that has been in my family for several generations. According to family histor y, it was given to my great-grandfather in the late 1800s or early 1900s. The stein is decorated on one side with figures in relief edged in blue against a gray colored background. On the other side are scrolls with flowers and fruit. It stands about 6 inches tall and has a pewter lid.

I plan to give it my son and would like

Marzi and Remy Pottery Company was founded in 1880.

I have an antique Victorian cradle that has been in our family for generations. It is solid walnut and is in mint condition. It has a label with the words “Jun. 28, 1870 Patent -- F. Mohr & Co. -- 48 Elizabeth St. -- New York.”

What can you tell me about its value?

Q:

A:

F. Mohr and Company made parlor and bedroom furniture in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The design of your cradle was patented on June 28, 1870.

Similar cradles can be seen online in the range of $1,200 to $1,500. * * *

Tim Duncan was the best power forward I’ve ever seen, and I’ve been watching since his days at Wake Forest.

I know I’m not the only Maryland Terrapin who remembers standing outside Cole Field House in freezing cold weather for hours, just to make sure we got great seats to watch a Wake Forest team with the best big man in the ACC. We were surprised he stayed at Wake Forest for four years -- he would have been a first round pick any year -- and it didn’t take a genius to figure he’d play well in the NBA.

tions.

It’s safe to say that he exceeded expecta-

He’s played for only one team, for one coach. He was the only person to win a championship in three different decades. College player of the year, rookie of the year, All-Star MVP, regular season MVP (three times) and NBA Finals MVP (twice). Only Michael Jordan and Larry Bird can say they did something like that. Only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Robert Parish have won more games. He and Kareem Abdul-Jabaar are the only players in NBA history with 26,000 points, 15,000 rebounds and 3,000 blocks

Fifteen times, he was an all-star. Every one of his seasons ended with the San Antonio Spurs going to the playoffs. Five times, his team took the crown -- including one time from the King himself, the year that San Antonio avenged their loss in the previous year, picking themselves up and beating Miami. With the exception of the lockout season, the Spurs won more than 50 games each season.

There are 20-year-old Knicks fans vomiting tears when they hear that.

He was 42 ... of course we knew that he was going to retire. But look at the way he did.

He simply said nothing. No press conferences, no season-long adulation tour, no victory lap. He isn’t even going to attend the press conference regarding his retirement. That is an instant classic. Contrast the way he left the game and the way Kobe Bryant left. The Lakers were a joke last season, but Kobe scored 60 in his final game and made sure everyone knew just how proud he was of himself.

Not Duncan. “The Big Fundamental” was trying to win another championship.

Tim Duncan Was One of a Kind

He didn’t have a clothing collection; there were no collectors’ item shoes, no commercials of him driving a Buick. None of that. You know what else there was none of? No tirades about being late for practice, no holding out for an outrageous raise, no temper tantrums if he wasn’t the guy chosen to take the last-second shot. I scoured the Interwebs, looking for a story about how Tim Duncan once saved somebody’s life ... and found nothing of the sort.

When you look at a guy like Tim Duncan, you say to yourself, “They just don’t make players like that anymore.” They really don’t. He was one of a kind. * * *

involved in the hamburger business in his 50s.

• At age 15, he lied about his age to begin serving

as a Red Cross ambulance driver in World War I. It was here he met Walt Disney, who would remain his lifelong friend. After the war he became a paper cup salesman, a pianist, and a radio DeeJay.

• Kroc happened to meet the McDonald brothers,

Dick and Mac, when he was working as a salesman peddling milkshake machines.

Promoting a device that mixed five shakes at a time, he convinced the brothers that they needed to buy several of the machines for their restaurant chain.

TEE UP

• Recognizing Kroc's keen aptitude for business

operations, the McDonald brothers enlisted him in 1954 as a franchising agent in exchange for a percentage of profits. Kroc did not disappoint, and at age 53 he became president of the corporation. Six years later at age 59, he became sole owner of the franchise by buying out the McDonald brothers for $2.7 million.

• When he died in 1984 at age 81, McDonald’s had

grown to an $8 billion corporation with 7,500 locations in 31 countries. With a personal worth of more than $500 million, Kroc was also the owner of the San Diego Padres baseball team for the final 10 years of his life. Time magazine included Ray Kroc in their list of the “Top 100 Most Important People of the 20th Century.”

Today, the chain is the most successful fast food operation in the world with over 36,000 locations in more than 100 countries. Not bad for a man who had never earned a high school diploma! 

Handle Swinging While there are many ways to communicate swinging the golf club around yourself and relative to the ball, thinking of how the grip end or “handle” of the club moves can be revolutionary.

By swinging the handle correctly, the clubshaft and clubhead have no choice but to follow along.

It also implies that the hands and wrists will move correctly without thinking of the complicated need for hinging, undocking, flexing, rotating or the like.

Enjoy Tidbits

with a Friend!

One of the best images in the downswing is creating a swinging of the handle like one would swing a broomstick forward. In order to overcome the weight of broomstick, your arm swing and weight shift would initiate the forward movement. You would be “swinging the handle” rather than trying to control the broom head.

Be sensitive of how your grip pressure and tension in your hands and wrists can influence swinging the handle. Lighter tension allows for more supple wrists and thus more speed.
