THE EYES HAVE IT!by Patricia L. Cook

If you see things 20/20, you have good eyes to observe our world and be amazed! Let’s see what we can learn about our amazing human eyes and some other eyes as well.

• Seeingthingswith20/20visioniscommonlyconsideredgoodvisionintheUnitedStates.InCanada and the rest of the world that uses the metric system, normal vision is 6/6 (6 meters as opposed to 20 feet.) This term basically means that you have “good visual acuity at 20 feet” (6 m), which is normal distance vision.

• The Snellen chart was developed by Dr. HermannSnellen,aDutchophthalmologist,in1862. This “eye” chart has 11 lines of block letters, beginning with a single letter at the top, usually E. The size of the letters gets smaller from the top of the chart to the bottom, so there are more letters on the bottom row than on the top. The eighth row of letters is usually the line for20/20 (6/6)vision.Sixty-onepercentof Americans wear corrective lenses to get to “normal” vision.

•So,arealllettersofthealphabetonthechart?No. The letters used are only C, D, H, K, N, O,R,S,VandZ.ThesearetheSloan letters, whichweredesignedbyLouiseSloanin1959.These letters are called “optotypes.”

TIDBITS GETS FIRED UP ABOUT

NATIONAL BOSS DAYby Stanley Drummond

Bosses are people, too. (Really!) And every year on October 16, America pays tribute to them.• Actually, National Boss Day was created in

1958 by an Illinois secretary named Patricia Haroski. She chose October 16 because it was her father’s birthday. Her father also happened to be her boss at the time. Nevertheless, she felt that bosses in general were underappreciated, and registered the date with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as an official observance.

• Interestingly enough, a 2005 survey done by an international human resources consulting firm revealed that the majority of employees would not trade places with their boss. The primary reason given was the change that would result between them and their co-workers. They could no longer ignore or laugh at any slackers in their department; they’d be responsible for any poor performers.

• Hallmark started selling Boss Day cards in 1979. While they don’t reveal actual sales figures, they do disclose that the “holiday” is poised to break into the list of top 10 card-send-ing events within the next few years.

MOMENTS IN TIMEThe History Channel

¥ On March 3, 1887, Anne Sullivan begins teaching 6-year-old Helen Keller, who lost her sight and hearing after a severe illness at the age of 19 months. Under Sullivan's tutelage, Keller flourished, eventually graduating from college and becoming an international lecturer and activist.

¥ On March 6, 1899, the Imperial Patent Office in

Berlin registers Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) on behalf of the German pharmaceutical company Friedrich Bayer & Co. The brand name came from "a" for acetyl, "spir" from the spirea plant (a source of salicin) and the suffix "in," commonly used for medications.

¥ On March 2, 1904, Theodor Geisel, better known to the world as Dr. Seuss, is born in Springfield, Mass. Geisel's first book, "And to Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street," was rejected by more than two dozen publishers before making it into print in 1937.

¥ On March 1, 1932, Charles Lindbergh III, the 20-month-old son of aviation hero Charles Lindbergh, is kidnapped from the family's new mansion in Hopewell, N.J. Days later the baby's lifeless body was discovered near the Lindbergh home.

¥ On Feb. 28, 1940, Mario Andretti, whose name

will become synonymous with American auto racing, is born in Montona, Italy. His long list of achievements includes a Formula One World Championship and wins at the Indianapolis 500, Daytona 500 and Pikes Peak Hill Climb.

¥ On March 4, 1966, a John Lennon quotation that was ignored in England sets off a media frenzy in America: "We're more popular than Jesus now." Bible Belt disc jockeys declared Lennon's remarks blasphemous and vowed an eternal ban on all Beatles music, past, present and future.

¥ On March 5, 1977, the Dial-a-President radio program, featuring President Jimmy Carter and CBS news anchorman Walter Cronkite, airs for the first time. Carter answered calls from all over the country from his desk in the Oval Office. Some 9 million calls flooded the CBS radio studio during the two-hour broadcast.

Ophthalmologists are licensed medical doctors and can do everything performed by optometrists plus they can perform eye surgery.

Conserving water and reducing pollution is central to “green living.” One way to conserve water is with a rain barrel to catch roof drainage from rain showers and snow melt and use this water for non-drinking purposes like watering flower beds or washing the car. Also, collecting this water reduces pollution by controlling runoff, which is uncontrolled water flow over hard, usually paved surfaces that picks up harmful pollutants like animal waste, trash and chemicals and carries them to streams and oceans. Experts cite runoff as the number one cause of water pollution in the United States.

Have you heard of the “four-eyed” fish? These fish (of the genus Anableps) do not really have four eyes, but the pupils in the eyes are horizontally divided into two parts, sort of shaped like figure eights. This allows the fish to clearly see below and above the water. It spends virtually all of its life swimming at the surface. Four-eyed fish live in the mouths of rivers from Venezuela to Brazil.

A lady was pulled over for speeding. When the policeman checked her driver’s license, he said, “You are wearing glasses on you license and you’re not now. I’m going to have to give you a ticket.”The lady responded, “But officer, I have contacts.”The policeman said, “Look, lady, I don’t care who you know, I’m giving you a ticket!”

The London Eye observation wheel that opened in London in 2000 was originally to be named the “Millennium Wheel,” a metaphor for the new millennium. The view from the top allows passengers to see for about 25 miles (40 km).

• It was British author and publisher Ernest Benn who made the following observation: "Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy."

• If you live in Michigan, make sure you keep this in mind: If you want to hunt with a slingshot, you'll need a special license.

• If you took all the other planets in our solar system and rolled them into one big ball, that ball would fit inside the gas giant Jupiter.

• The next time you're heading to Chicago, plan a stop in the nearby town of Niles. While there you can visit the Leaning Tower of Niles, a recently renovated half-size replica of the somewhat more famous Leaning Tower of Pisa. The attraction was built in 1934 by industrialist Robert Ilg as part of a recreation park for employees of his Hot Air Electric Ventilating Company of Chicago.

• Although Billy the Kid was a notorious 19th-century outlaw, he never robbed a store, a stagecoach, a bank or a train.

• A flea can jump 13 inches in a single leap. That may not seem like much, but to achieve a comparable feat, you would have to make a 700-foot jump.

• Those who wish to cut federal spending today might want to take note of this historical fact: In 1790, United States senators earned a grand total of $6 per day -- and only when Congress was in session.

• The ancient Romans appreciated smooth, hairless skin -- but to get that look they used pumice stones to sand off the hair. Ouch.***Thought for the Day: "It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious." -- Oscar Wilde




















PAW’S CORNERBy Sam Mazzotta

Excitable Puppy Needs Training

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I have a 5-month-old Golden Retriever. I was wondering if you could give me any tips regarding “Saucy” biting and jumping up on people. How can I stop it? -- Crystal, Pensacola, Fla.

DEAR CRYSTAL: Jumping up and nonaggres-sive biting (or mouthing) are two of the most common undesirable behaviors among dogs. And because they’re fairly instinctive actions, if you’re not consistent with the way you deal with Saucy’s behavior, the problems can contin-ue indefinitely.Fortunately, the solution to jumping and biting lies in basic obedience training, particularly in the sit-stay commands. Saucy should get obe-dience training at least once daily in addition to her twice-daily walks. (By the way, regular walks will dampen some of that excitability.)To reduce jumping, note where and when Saucy tends to jump up the most. Is it at the door, greeting visitors? Train her in sit-stay next to the entrance, preferably in the same spot each time. When she responds well to “sit” and “stay,” increase the difficulty by having another person ring the doorbell and come in. Com-mand her to sit and stay if she stands, lunges at the door or does anything other than sit in the designated spot. Mouthing, like jumping, is an absolute no-no,

and should be treated as such. As Saucy’s own-er, each time she tries her biting routine, firmly but calmly say “no” and gently move her muzzle away. Then command her to sit and stay; when she obeys, give her a chew toy. Now, puppies and even adult dogs tend to lapse a bit with these two behaviors, especially when company is over. If you haven’t got time for a training session, use one of my favorite quick-correction methods: turn your back. For a play-ful dog, nothing is more disconcerting than someone indicating “I don’t want to play with you.” Use that moment of confusion to turn back around and command sit-stay. If Saucy doesn’t follow instructions or is just too excited and distracted by guests, place her in a quiet room with her bedding and chew toys until your guests have left.

Two Secrets to Keeping Your Skin Looking Young

Just because a person is growing older, doesn’t mean they have to look older. With today’s scientific

understanding of skin health, it is possible to keep your skin looking young and healthy as you age.

Among the many secrets to keeping youthful skin, two of the most important are as follows:

1.) Protect Your Skin From Sun Damage The altitude here in Casper makes people particularly prone to UV damage from sunlight. Sun damage

can cause white spots or dark spots known as hypo or hyper pigmentation, premature wrinkles, broken

capillaries (redness), enlarged pores, dry or flaky skin, and precancerous conditions.

Damage to the skin from the sun can be repaired by mild to moderate acid peels, photo rejuvenation,

laser resurfacing, microdermabrasion, and topical application of retinoids.

It’s important to protect your skin with the optimal sun screen or sunblock for your skin type. You can

also protect your skin by making sure your supplement program includes sufficient antioxidant nutrients

that protect your skin from sun damage. These include vitamin C, vitamin E, Co-Q 10, polyphenols from

green tea extract, and xanthones from mangosteen. New studies are coming out on white tea and the

benefits of the de-aging of the skin at a cellular level.2.) Nourish Your Skin The typical American diet is deficient in many nutrients necessary for healthy skin. Malnourished skin

can create problems like dry, flaky skin, oily skin, dark circles under the eyes, loss of luster and skin tone,

skin rashes and other chronic skin conditions. Vitamin C creams will moisturize the skin and give it a silky feeling. Hyaluronic acid can be used

topically to hydrate the skin. A mixture of human growth factors and L.E.D. light (infrared) will stimulate

collaged production and circulation. Supplements can help, as can topical applications designed to

nourish the skin. Nutrients essential for healthy skin includes a proper balance of essential fatty acids,

trace minerals (especially silica), fat soluble vitamins and collagen. Proper hydration (adequate amounts

of pure water) is also essential to healthy skin. It is possible to keep your skin looking youthful with proper attention. A medically trained aesthetician

can give you more specific advice on the right nutrients, therapies and topical

applications for your unique skin concerns


Like Your Smartphone? So Do

Cyber StalkersYou saved for the phone, signed up for a monthly plan and now you're all set. You have a new smartphone that not only lets you make and receive calls, but also send and receive text messages, find your place in the world with GPS and snap photos along the way. Those photos can be sent to your e-mail address, or to friends, your online photo album or your social media page. But all isn't as it seems. The high technology that allows you to do all those things comes at a price: your security. Any photos you take will include Exchangeable Image

File Format (EXIF) data, which reveals exactly where and when the photo was taken. For example, if you've taken all the correct security steps on your social media page and think you're safe, think again. If you take a phone

picture of your child's Little League game or your house and upload it, that location is embedded in the photo for anyone to extract. It's called geotagging, and it can lead someone right to your door.There's a good chance that the GPS feature in your new phone was enabled by default: In other words, it comes this way out of the box.There are ways to disable the GPS in your phone. Check your user manual. If you have any doubt whatsoever that you can do this, take the phone back to where you bought it and insist that a tech do it for you. This isn't a time to be unsure. Additionally, if you have added apps (applications) to your phone that use GPS, you'll have to consider those as well.

Having phones give away your location in a photograph isn't the only way your security could be compromised. If you troll the Internet on your phone and go to the wrong site, a Trojan horse could be downloaded to your phone that allows someone to read your e-mail, grab your passwords and see your browser history.On the other hand, if you only want a cell phone to make and receive calls, consider one that doesn't require a contract, allows you to buy pay-as-you-go minutes and doesn't incur a monthly bill. See what your local wireless phone store has to offer.
