TIDBITS® EXAMINES
THE FIVE SENSESby Kathy Wolfe
Sometimes it’s difficult to comprehend the abili-ties of the incredible human body. This week, Tidbits looks at how the sensory cells related to smell, sight, hearing, touch, and taste send their signals to the brain for interpretation. Amazing!• The only sense that is fully developed at birth
is smell. Within days of birth, a newborn is able to recognize his or her mother’s smell.
• Although the tongue has the taste buds, the nose is critical to taste. While the taste buds distinguish sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and savory, any other tastes are perceived by the nose’s five million olfactory receptors. This explains why your favorite foods don’t seem to taste right when you have a cold or stuffy nose.
• Vivid memories can be triggered by our sense of smell, for example, a sadness at the aroma of roses, which may be a reminder of a loved one’s funeral. This is because scent receptors are connected to the area of the brain in charge of memory and emotions. An aversion can develop if an unpleasant experience is associated with it. For instance, a foul-smelling or tasting cherry cough syrup ingested as a child can produce a dislike for all things cherry as an adult.

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.

FIVE SENSES (continued):• After a year, people can recall smells with
about 65% accuracy. Compare this with visual recall, which is only 50% after a period of three months.
• If you think you have a good sense of smell, consider that while you have five million scent receptors, your dog has about 220 million!
• Those little raised bumps on the surface of your tongue are not actually your taste buds. They are called papillae, and the majority of your taste buds are clustered on them. The buds’ purpose is to sense sweet, bitter, salty, sour, and savory tastes. Each papilla is home to 100 to 200 buds.
• Taste buds can be found on the tongue, in the throat, on the esophagus, and on the roof of the mouth. These 9,000 cells contain chemoreceptors that respond to chemicals in food. When you eat a certain food, your mouth’s saliva helps break it down, which in turn causes the receptors to communicate to the brain through sensory nerves. Your brain then lets you know what you taste.
• By age 60, most adults will have lost about half their taste buds.
• As many cancer patients can attest, chemotherapy can seriously damage the sense of taste. Infections and blows to the head can also cause impairment.
• Due to the heat they generate, chili peppers stimulate pain receptors rather than taste buds.
• Millions of tiny nerve endings are responsible for telling you if something is hot or cold, or if something is hurting you. The home of these nerve endings is in the dermis, the bottom layer of your skin. The nerve endings carry information to the spinal cord, which informs the brain what feeling is being conveyed, all in a fraction of a second!

January 10 - 16Page 3
FIVE SENSES (continued):
• There are 20 different varieties of nerve endings, all with a different significance. The most common types are temperature, pain, and pressure receptors. Pain receptors are the most numerous. A little square patch of skin measuring .4 inch (10 mm) on each side contains 200 pain receptors, but only 15 for pressure of touch, six for cold, and one for hot. Pain receptors are very important for alerting the brain that the body is hurt.
• Some areas of the body have more nerve endings than others, making them more sensitive. That’s why it hurts so much when you bite your tongue. Yet this area has receptors that are much less effective at sensing hot or cold, which is why you burn your mouth on hot foods.
• As skin ages, it has a decreased response to pain and temperature changes. Consequently, older folks have a greater risk of injury from burns and hypothermia.
• It’s the colored iris of the eye that makes the pupil change in size, depending on the amount of available light. It controls light levels inside the eye, much like the aperture on a camera. The eye color comes from microscopic pigment cells called melanin.
• We are able to see things because beams of light bounce off of an object and enter the cornea – the thick, transparent layer on the surface of the eye. From there, the light rays pass through the pupil and into the lens. The lens focuses the image and sends it to the back surface of the eyeball, the retina. More than 150 million light-sensitive cells work at sending the information upside-down to the brain. The brain turns the image right-side-up and tells you what you are seeing.

Joe’s wife Millie asked, “How was your golf game?” to which he replied, “I was hitting great, but my eyesight is getting so bad, I couldn’t see where the ball went.”“Well, you are 75 years old, dear. Why don’t you take my brother
Hal along?”“What! He’s 85 and he doesn’t even play golf anymore!” Joe
protested. “Yes, but he has perfect eyesight, and could watch the ball,” Millie reminded him. The next day Joe and Hal hit the green,
Joe swung, and the ball disappeared down the fairway.“Did you see it?” asked Joe.
“Sure did,” replied Hal. “Well, where is it?” yelled Joe.
“I forgot.”
When you sit at an empty table, you have lost control of your luncheon partner because someone will soon come over to your table and ask you, “Is this seat taken?” You have no choice but to say, “No, won’t you join us?” This is like playing Russian Roulette because if you find a relationship by sitting at an empty table, it is an accident. Turn the tables on the tables. Determine during the Social Hour which professional you wish to sit by Let that person sit first, then go to that person and ask, “Is this seat taken?” That person will automatically say, “No, won’t you join us?” Now you are in control of your own financial destiny.

Don’t Expect to Make Big Money Online
There are probably more people using the Internet to find a job than there are going to employment agencies. From there, it’s not a giant step from seeking “regular” employment to looking for ways to make money fast and easy on the Internet.Even if you’ve been on the Internet a long time, there’s something about the possibility of “fast money” that can make even the most cautious person take risks.Here are some warnings about making money via the Internet.--Don’t spend a single dollar on online programs that claim to teach you how to make millions. The way they make
their money is by putting those ads on the Internet and selling that “secret” -- which is how to put ads on the Internet -- to people like you.--Don’t fall for those “make money at home” deals. Most are not legitimate. The ones that involve assembling crafts at home end up costing you money for supplies, and then your product will be deemed “not acceptable.” Mystery shopper is only good if you have time to spare and will settle for a few dollars. “Mail envelopes/send e-mail from home” will only net you a list of companies that might hire that kind of worker. --Don’t choose this time to get into Multi-Level Marketing (MLM). You’ll end up spending money on products you can’t unload, and you’ll annoy your friends as you try to get them signed up as your downstream.--Don’t pay an advance fee for anything.--Don’t get involved in online auctions unless you’re already savvy. Better to find a legitimate company in your area that can sell your items online for a fee.
--If you must dabble on the Internet, go with an affiliate program (or a few of them, to maximize the potential) linked to real companies, such as Amazon.com. In that case you would set up a Web site where you write about a topic you’re well versed in. (Check GoDaddy.com for inexpensive Web sites and look for cheap Web hosting.) Then make links to books or products associated with that subject. Don’t expect to actually make any money. If you do, you’ll be surprised. If you don’t, you’re only out a few hours of the time it takes to set up a Web site.

• It was American humorist Evan Esar who came up the following definition: “Statistics: The only science that enables different experts using the same figures to draw different conclusions.”
• The Emperor Charlemagne, who conquered much of Western and Central Europe during the first century, had an unusual relationship with his daughters. He refused to allow them to get married, but he evidently had no objections to their forming, shall we say, less formal relationships. He doted on his illegitimate grandchildren and even gave money and gifts to their fathers.
• If you look at a list of the names of the 50 states, you’ll find every letter of the alphabet except Q.
• For reasons unknown, a law in New Jersey forbids the sale of cabbage on Sunday.
• You won’t be surprised to learn that the most dangerous device that is common in the modern world is the automobile. You might be surprised to learn, though, that the second most dangerous is the stair step.
• You’ve probably never heard of Countess Rosa Branicka, but she accomplished an amazing feat. In the mid-19th century, at the age of 63, the wealthy Polish noblewoman became ill. The diagnosis given by experts in Germany was breast cancer, and immediate surgery was recommended. For reasons unknown, the countess declined the treatment, then set about purchasing her own surgical instruments. Once all the tools were assembled, Branicka checked into a hotel in Paris and removed the tumor herself. Reports indicate that she healed well and quickly, and lived to the ripe old age of 82.

ALL ABOUT PIZZAThick crust, thin crust, deep dish, extra cheese, or hold the onions. We all like it served up a little differently. This week, Tidbits takes a closer look at one of the world’s favorite foods.• Nine out of ten Americans eat pizza at least once
a month. Over the course of a year, about three billion pizzas are purchased, not including those in the grocer’s frozen food case. The average person eats about 23 pounds of pizza annually. (That’s about 46 slices.) Add it all up and it makes for a $35 billion industry in the U.S.
• There are about 75,000 pizza restaurants in the U.S., representing about 17% of all restaurants. About 350 slices are consumed every second of every day across America.
• Pepperoni is America’s favorite topping, and is chosen for 36% of all orders. Nearly 252 million pounds of pepperoni top U.S. pizzas every year.
• Pepperoni may be the favorite in America, but not so around the world! Order pizza in Japan and you’re likely to receive it topped with eel or squid. Russians prefer pizza with mockba: a combination of sardines, tuna, mackerel, salmon, and herring. In India, the locals choose mutton and pickled ginger pizza.
• America’s first pizzeria received its business license and opened in New York City in 1905. Italian immigrant Gennaro Lombardi began peddling tomato pies to workers looking for a portable lunch. Upon Gennaro’s death, his son stepped in to run the business, followed by his grandson, operating continually until 1984. After a 10-year closure, the grandson and a childhood friend re-opened Lombardi’s a block away from the original and it carries on its tradition of pizza baked in coal-fired ovens.

You can make your home more heat-efficient this winter by installing thermally-lined drapes to trap the heat. Area rugs on wood and tiled floors keep the heat in as well. Caulk in any cracks in door and window frames, replace damaged weatherstripping, and insulate pipes to keep the cold out. If you don’t use your wood-burning fireplace, seal it up for the winter.

Clinical studies point to the positive effects of scent on stress and behavior. Test results indicate that a lemon smell in the workplace helps clerical workers make fewer keyboard errors, and that lavender helps workers fi gure equations more effi ciently. Yale University research points to the effectiveness of the scent of spiced apples in fi ghting off panic attacks.

Joe’s wife Millie asked, “How was your golf game?” to which he replied, “I was hitting great, but my eyesight is getting so bad, I couldn’t see where the ball went.”“Well, you are 75 years old, dear. Why don’t you take my brother
Hal along?”“What! He’s 85 and he doesn’t even play golf anymore!” Joe
protested. “Yes, but he has perfect eyesight, and could watch the ball,” Millie reminded him. The next day Joe and Hal hit the green,
Joe swung, and the ball disappeared down the fairway.“Did you see it?” asked Joe.
“Sure did,” replied Hal. “Well, where is it?” yelled Joe.
“I forgot.”
When you sit at an empty table, you have lost control of your luncheon partner because someone will soon come over to your table and ask you, “Is this seat taken?” You have no choice but to say, “No, won’t you join us?” This is like playing Russian Roulette because if you find a relationship by sitting at an empty table, it is an accident. Turn the tables on the tables. Determine during the Social Hour which professional you wish to sit by Let that person sit first, then go to that person and ask, “Is this seat taken?” That person will automatically say, “No, won’t you join us?” Now you are in control of your own financial destiny. Now you have at least 90 revenue enhancing minutes. And controlled minutes have a mysterious way of turning into money.
