Tidbits wants you to ...

by Kathy Wolfe

During this time of year as we focus on being thankful, Tidbits urges readers to take a few mo-ments to improve their emotional well-being and happiness by thinking positive! • What makes us happy? Psychologists suggest that each person has a happiness “set point,” which is a personal tendency to be very happy, somewhat happy, or not at all happy. About 50% of the explanation for a person’s set point is determined by genetic make-up, which helps to explain why some folks just seem to be naturally happier than others! It also helps ex-plain why long-term levels of happiness appear to be resistant to many signifi cant life events, both good and bad. Lottery winners initially feel “overjoyed” and people who have experienced a negative life event, such as a job loss or death of a loved one, feel “sorrowful,” But most of these in-dividuals eventually settle back to their set point. Research confi rms that personal circumstances, such as level of wealth and where we live, ac-count for a measly 10% of happiness.• Are happier people more successful in their personal and professional lives? It appears so partly because happy individuals’ positive moods motivate them to work enthusiastically toward their goals. They lean toward feeling confi dent, optimistic, and energetic, they have a positive perception of themselves, and others fi nd them more likable. Happier folks seem to perform bet-ter in job interviews and secure better positions as a result. They also tend to have less absentee-ism at work. • Level of happiness also affects an indi-vidual’s health. Data indicates that happier peo-ple have lower levels of hypertension and lower blood pressure. Those who use humor to cope with diffi culties have stronger immune systems, and are less likely to get sick. They have fewer doctor visits, use less medication, and are much less likely to experience substance abuse. • Do you think you’d be happier if you just had more money? Not so, say researchers! Income actually has a weak effect on levels of happiness. In the workplace, employees seem to

Positive Cont’d gain more satisfaction from their rank, position, and sense of achievement than they do from their pay. Surprisingly, spending money on others – as little as $5 a day – creates a boost in happiness levels. • Wondering what you can do to increase your happiness level? Since 40% of happiness is subject to self-control, a person’s deliberate choices and intentional activities can amp up cheerfulness and contentment. High-quality so-cial relationships contribute to life satisfaction, and research indicates that married people are generally happier than single ones. Socializing with cheerful people increases the likelihood of being happier.• Think happy thoughts! The average woman has 60,000 thoughts a day – can you be-lieve that 48,000 of them are negative? Avoid-ing “negative self-talk” can improve attitude and enhance happiness. Rather than saying, “I’m not good at this,” try, “What can I do to get better at this?” Substitute “That’s too diffi-cult,” with “I’m going to give it a try.” Replacing negative thoughts with positive ones

allows you to focus on all that is good in life. Keeping a journal listing three things that went well each day produces satisfaction and content-ment as well. • Having an “attitude of gratitude” is one of the best ways to possess emotional well-being. Counting your blessings causes you to consider all that is valuable in your life. Gratitude dur-ing the bad times actually helps you cope with and adjust to adversity, helping you bounce back to that happiness set point. Taking stock of all you have and recalling contributions others have made for you cause you to be more likely to help others and be less materialistic and envious of others, as well as alleviating bitterness. • You are what you eat! Did you know that a diet low in fiber has been linked to depres-sion? Likewise, a Vitamin B-12 deficiency can produce irritability and depression. Residents of countries who eat the most fish possess the low-est rates of depression. A wide variety of whole foods provides brain-enhancing nutrients, caus-ing your mind to be sharper and more energized. Too much sugar can contribute to shrinkage in

he areas of the brain involved in regulat-ing your moods. • Letting go of offenses, anger, and resentment is a sure-fire way to be happier and healthier. Brooding and obsessing over wrongs done to you and refusing to for-give takes its toll on your happiness

levels as well as your physical health. • Don’t worry, be happy! Worriers experi-ence muscle tension, agitation, irritability, sleep problems, difficulty with concentration, and an inability to relax. They spend much of their time trying to predict the future, and worrying about all that could go wrong. Much of the prob-lem involves trying to solve issues that are not solvable. As Mark Twain said, “I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened.” • Increase your positive outlook with ran-dom acts of kindness. Research has established that these acts induce positive thoughts and can alleviate negative feelings. It seems that individ-uals get a strong sense that they’re doing some-thing that matters, and subsequently, mood is en-hanced.• What about age? Studies have determined that people in their mid- to late-50s are happier, worry less, and have less stress than young adults in their 20s. Part of that finding may be that older people have learned how to control their emo-tions over the years. • Positive mindsets can be elevated by vi-sualizing your “best possible self.” This involves imagining success at your life goals, realization of your life dreams, and achievement of your best potential, followed up with using this to guide your current decisions. • Practice optimism! Happy folks look at the bright side of each negative situation and find the silver lining in every black cloud.• Unhappy people watch 30% more TV. Happier ones are out socializing, exercising, reading, volunteering, or attending religious ser-vices. And along that line, studies show that spir-itual and religious people are happier and Cont’d Page 3

FAMOUS LANDMARKS

Arc De Triomphe

At the western end of Paris’ Champs-Elysees on the right bank of the Seine, the regal Arc de Tri-omphe stands guard over the city. Here is some background on Napoleon’s “ Arch of Victory”.• Following his most important victory of the Napoleonic Wars, Bonaparte ordered the con-struction of the Arch in 1805. He intended it as a commemoration to all French soldiers who had fought during the wars, and it was his plan that his soldiers would march through the arch upon their return home. However, it took two years just to lay the foundations, and when Napoleon entered the city in 1810, he came from a different direction. • When the architect of the monument died in 1811, the work was taken over by another for a few years. However, when Napoleon lost power, construction was halted and did not resume until 1833. The Arch was not completed until 1836. Meanwhile, Napoleon died in exile on the island of St. Helena in 1821 and was buried there. In 1840, King Louis Philippe I arranged for Napo-leon’s remains to be returned to France and at long last, Napoleon entered Paris through the Arc de Triomphe. • The Arch sits at the center of 12 main av-enues which radiate outward. It reaches 162 feet to the sky and is 72 feet deep. Its base features four groups of elaborate sculptures, the most fa-mous of which is “La Marseillaise,” featuring the woman Marianne, the national emblem of France representative of Liberty and Reason. Six other reliefs are sculpted on the facades of the Arch de-picting important battles of the F r e n c h Revolution and Napoleonic era. On the inside of the Arch, a list of French victories is en-graved, as well as the names of the military lead-ers of those battles. The names that are under-lined represent those who were killed in action. Still more sculptures representing characters of Roman mythology decorate the Arch.• Beneath the vault of the Arch lies the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, interred there on Armistice Day (November 11) of 1920, to com-memorate the signing of the armistice between France and Germany in 1918. Prior to the inter-ment, the Arch was the site of troops parading after military victories, as well as the annual Bas-tille Day military parade. However, as a sign of respect, parade traffic now marches to the Arch, but then turns to go around its side. A ceremony is held there every November 11. • The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier con-tains an eternal flame that burns in memory of all the unidentified dead. When President John F. Kennedy and wife Jacqueline visited Paris in 1961, they paid their respects at the Tomb. After JFK’s assassination two years later, Mrs. Ken-nedy asked that one be placed at her husband’s grave at Arlington National Cemetery. • If you want to reach the top, you can ei-ther climb 284 steps, or ride an elevator to the mid-point and climb 64 steps. • Paris’ Arc de Triomphe held the honor of largest triumphal arch in existence from 1836 un-til 1982. It was displaced by the Arch of Triumph built in Pyongyang in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

ENDANGERED SIGHTS & SOUNDS (cont’d):• How long has it been since you’ve used a

typewriter eraser? Or, if you’re younger, have you moved your belongings into a long-unused desk, only to find a strange-looking gadget with fiber-like hairs bushing out of one end? What you’ve found is a typewriter eraser. Usually shaped like a pencil, the tip was made of an especially-abrasive rubber, which was used to “erase” the typing error. The other end featured a small brush made of stiff plastic strands that was used to sweep the remnants of the erasure off the page.

• There’s no shortage of litter on the ground to-day, but thankfully, we no longer see discarded pull-tabs. The tabs on older easy-open beverage cans pulled completely off the can. People who walked in bare feet were constantly dodging these carelessly-dropped metal hazards.

• The rhythmic “beep” of the scanner is the musical accompaniment to the supermarket checkout line. But if you’ve ever wondered where the cliché of saying “ka-ching!” in re-lation to money comes from, that’s the sound that the old-style electric, not electronic, cash registers made. Cashiers of that era had to manually punch a series of buttons to ring up your purchase, followed by a smack of the “total” button with the heel of the hand.

• “Do you want your carbons?” used to be an automatic question asked by merchants after you’d signed for a credit card payment. At that time, credit card receipts were filled out by hand in triplicate, with a small piece of carbon paper inserted between each sheet. It didn’t take long for thieves to realize they could retrieve the used carbons from the trash and steal valuable credit card information. Once that scam gained popularity, waiters and cashiers regularly of-fered the carbons to customers, giving them the opportunity to destroy them.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM TIDBITS!

SCARY MOVIESby Ryan Toepfer

Some people just seem to love having the living daylights scared out of them. Why else would horror and suspense movies be so popular? To celebrate Halloween, Tidbits goes behind the scenes of some classic thrillers.• When Alfred Hitchcock purchased the film

rights for Psycho, he also bought up as many copies of the original novel as he could find, hoping to keep the story’s ending a secret.

• The famous shower scene of Psycho was filmed using a double for Norman Bates, as Anthony Perkins was appearing in a play (Greenwillow)in New York at the time. The first time Perkins actually saw that scene was back at the studio, watching the daily “rushes,” and he said he was just as scared as everyone else.

• Take a close look at Michael Myers’ mask in the 1978 camp classic Halloween. Does the face look familiar? The movie was filmed on such a tight budget, that the prop department had to make do with what they had. For Myers’ disguise, they used an old Captain Kirk (StarTrek) mask, which they spray painted white and then re-shaped the eyeholes.

PuPPy THINkS SHOES ArE CHEW TOyS By Sam Mazzotta

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Help! Our new pup-py, “Elwood,” is getting into everything, chew-ing up my kids’ shoes and tearing the stuffi ng out of stuffed animals. Any advice on getting him to stop? -- Jessica G., via email

DEAR JESSICA: Getting a puppy to completely stop exploring and chewing is a job that requires time and patience.

First, pet proof the house. Invest in toddler safety gates (if you don’t already have some) to limit Elwood to parts of the house where he’s less likely to fi nd shoes, toys and other objects. In that gated-off area, remove kids’ toys, cloth-ing, stuffed animals and other chewable objects. Lift potted plants out of his reach (the leaves of many houseplants are poisonous to pets).

Make sure Elwood has access to his pet bed and to appropriate chew toys, and check on him frequently. Puppies should not be left alone for long periods of time, for many reasons.

Next, get that basic obedience training regime going. Grab a book or three on dog training, all of which will cover important basic commands like “sit,” “stay,” “come” and “heel.” Spend at least 30 minutes every day working with El-wood, in addition to twice-daily walks and gen-erous amounts of playtime.

Chewing behavior is very common in puppies, but tends to diminish as they mature. If he con-tinues to destroy everything in sight, talk to his veterinarian or try a group dog-training class. Anxiety or other issues can be at the root of long-term chewing problems.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: This past summer, I got the shock of my life at a family get-to-gether. My cousin, whom I hadn’t seen in 10 years, has bulging eyes. Her mother -- my aunt -- told me it was due to a thyroid problem. I’d never heard of a thyroid problem affecting the eyes. Does it? -- G.D.

ANSWER: It can. An overactive thyroid gland can lead to deposits of material in the eye sockets, which causes the eyes to protrude. There are treatments for this complication of hyperthyroidism. I’m sure this cousin is under the care of a thyroid specialist and an ophthal-mologist.***DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Can hair grow on the lips if a person shaves very close to the up-per and lower lips? Some informed individu-als say no. -- L.G.

ANSWER: Never in my life have I seen hair on people’s lips. Lips have no hair follicles. You even could shave the lips if you felt so inclined (but please don’t try this), and hair would not grow on them. If you have evidence to the contrary, let me know.

AIr TrAVEL WITHOuT THE BAGGAGE

Air travel isn’t much fun anymore, and getting through the airport is the worst of it. Between the crowds, the TSA rules and dragging heavy lug-gage, some of us just want to stay home and not bother.There is a way, however, to take care of at least one of the problems with air travel if you aren’t lucky enough to travel First Class: send your lug-gage early.UPS, FedEx and DHL all will pick up your lug-gage at your home and ship it to your destina-tion for you. UPS, for example, has specially de-signed boxes to hold your suitcases.As with anything else, there are both plusses and minuses to using this service.

The benefi ts:--No standing in line only to be told that your bagis overweight and will cost even more.--No lost bags at the airport.--No airport personal going through your suit-cases.--Less chance of damage to your bags.--No wasted time at baggage claim and then pushing through the crowd to pull your luggage off a moving carousel.--No wrestling with luggage through the airport or onto the hotel bus or into your rental car.The downside:--The cost. It can be expensive to use a service to get your luggage to your destination so it’s there when you arrive. But it can be a life (or back) saver if dealing with luggage in crowded airports is a hassle for you. Be sure to check airline bag fees to get an idea how little the difference is.Hint: Have your bag shipped days in advance to avoid paying overnight shipping costs. Also, don’t bother using a “luggage shipper.” They use the same DHL, FedEx or UPS services, then add on their own handling fees.

• On Dec. 1, 1830, French novelist Victor Hugo is due to turn in a draft of his book “Notre Dame de Paris” (“The Hunchback of Notre Dame”). Despite his contract, he instead wrote two plays, “Marion de Lorme” and “Hernani,” and the book is not published until 1831.

• On Nov. 26, 1862, Oxford mathematician Charles Lutwidge Dodgson sends a handwrit-ten manuscript called “Alice’s Adventures Under Ground” to 10-year-old Alice Liddell. Dodgson made up the story one day on a picnic, and Alice insisted he write it down. He published it under his nom de plume, Lewis Carroll, in 1865.

• On Nov. 30, 1954, the fi rst modern instance of a meteorite striking a human being occurs at Sylacauga, Ala., when an 8 1/2 pound meteorite crashes through the roof of a house and into the living room, bounces off a radio, and strikes a woman on the hip. The victim suffered a nasty bruise.

• On Nov. 27, 1978, former Board of Supervi-sors member Dan White murders Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk at City Hall in San Francisco. When White pleaded a “diminished capacity” defense and claimed that copious amounts of junk food caused him to suf-fer mental problems, the so-called Twinkie De-fense was born.
