TIDBITS® GETS ILLUMINATED WITH

NIGHT LIGHTSby Patricia L. Cook

Children who are afraid of the dark often need a small night light to help them overcome their fear. This Tidbits is about small and large lights in the dark as well as neon lights that shine in some pretty fancy ways! • Evenonverydarknights,ifyouletyoureyes

adjust it is possible for most people to see well enough to walk around.

• Themoon at night shining in the dark is notactually a light source since it does not produce its own light. The moon is visible because of the sun’s light that bounces off of it back to earth. When we see different phases (or sizes) of the moon it is because the earth revolves around the sun and the moon orbits the earth. Thepartofthemoonthatisreflectingdependson the angles or relative positions of the earth, moon and sun.

• Theearth’sorbitalsochangesourviewofthestarsatnighteventhoughthestarsareinfixedpatterns. Astronomers who named many of the stars and constellations (named patterns of stars) years ago gave them Greek and Roman names that are still used today.

• The most well-known constellations arethe “Big Dipper” and “Little Dipper.” The “dippers” are part of Ursa Major and Ursa Minor, which mean Greater Bear and Smaller Bear.

CROSSWORD

▶ Alert, on the tip of Ellesmere Island, is the northernmost permanent settlement in the world. It has a population of about five, centered around a weather station located there. It’s 817 km (508) miles from the North Pole, and 2,092 km (1,300 mi) from the nearest city of Iqaluit.

▶ North America’s lowest recorded temperature was -81.4 degrees Fahrenheit (-63 C) at Snag, Yukon Territory, on February 3, 1947.

▶ Charles Fenerty of Halifax, Nova Scotia, was the first person to use wood fibers to make paper. His father owned a lumber mill, and when he toured a paper mill where paper was made from rags, he noticed many similarities in the two mills. He started experimenting in 1839 and produced paper from wood pulp in 1841.

▶ Canada’s oldest independent brewery, the Moosehead Brewery in Saint John, New Brunswick, turns out 1,642 bottles of beer per minute.

▶ When Michael J. Fox appeared as a guest on “The Tonight Show” he told Jay Leno that he found American beers too watery and preferred Moosehead Ale. This boosted the popularity of the brew. Shortly afterwards, the company gifted the actor with a large truckload of the brew in appreciation.

NIGHT LIGHTS (continued):• Many children the world over hear a song

about the night sky long before they learn to talk. Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star was published by Jane Taylor and her sister, Ann, in England in 1806. Their second book ofchildren’s poems, Rhymes for the Nursery, includes the poem, The Star,writtenwithfiveverses.Onlythefirstverseiswidelysung,withan occasional addition of verse two.

• The tune forTwinkle, Twinkle, Little Star is actually older than the poem. It originated inFrance,firstseeninprintinParisin1761.The tune was first associated with a Frenchsong, Ah! Vous dirai-je, Maman, which is translated Ah! Will I tell you Mommy. It is still popular with French children.

•Another“tune”thatcamefromPariswasthequiet buzz of neon lights. Georges Claude, a chemist, engineer, and inventor was a pioneer in the development of neon lighting.

•Neon gas was first discovered in 1898. Theword neon was chosen for the gas from the Greek word “neos” which means “new gas.”

• Two predecessors to neon lights were theGeissler Moore tubes that used pressurized gas in tubes with electric volts to make colorful lights. When neon was discovered it proved tobeamorelastinggasfortubelights.Neonwas in short supply until Georges Claude’s company, “Air Liquide,” began producing

large quantities. Claudemade his first neonlightin1902andfirstdisplayedhisinventionattheParisMotorShowinDecember,1910,with two 39 foot long (12 m) bright red tubes of neon light.

• Claude received his first patent for neonlighting in Paris in 1911 and another in theUnited States in 1915.

•(ThereissomehistoricalevidencethatPerleyG.Nutting,aphysicistwhostartedtheOpticalSocietyofAmerica,displayed thefirstneonlightattheLouisianaPurchaseExpositionin1904.)

• The first commercial neon signwas sold toa barber shop in Paris in 1912, by JaquesFonseque, an associate of Claude.

•Whenredandbluetubesofneonlightswereinstalled decorating the Paris Opera Housein 1919, the colors became known as “Opera Colors.”

• Claude sold the first neon sign inAmerica,actually two, toaPackardCardealership inLos Angeles in 1923. The price: $24,000! Neon quickly caught on in the advertisingworld.

• The “liquid fire” signs began dominatingoutdoor advertising displays in American citiesfromTimesSquareinNewYorktoLosAngeles. Las Vegas quickly became a city filledwithneonon thebordersof signsandbuildings, architectural accents and even neon animations.

• Today, many of the first neon signs anddisplays in Las Vegas have become part of the Neon Museum. The Museum has threecomponents: the Downtown Gallery, the

• Claude’s patentsweregoodbut theydidnotstop others from “taking off” from his work. Charles J. Wamser created his sign company with neon technology that was slightly different from Claude’s patents.

•Wamser’scompany,SheetMetalProducts,Inc.,was started in a rented garage in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and started mass producing signs in the late 1920s.His company, now namedEverbrite, is still a worldwide leader in thelighting and branding of companies.

•Many of the “neon” signs that dotted thelandscapes in North America were not allneon.People use the name “neon” for lightsof all colors but actually neon lights are red.

Tom, Dick and Harry went to a party. After the party they returned to their hotel. The hotel was 600 stories high. Unfortunately for them, the el-evator was not working. So to keep them enter-tained as they climbed the stairs to their room they made a plan. For the first 200 stories, Tom will crack jokes. For the second 200 stories Dick will tell a happy story. And for the final 200 sto-ries Harry will tell a sad story. Excited about their great plan, they started up the steps. After 2 hours it was Harry’s turn. He turned to Tom and Dick and said, “Ok guys, here’s my sad story. I forgot the keys downstairs.”

Q: My 4-year-old Red-boned Coonhound has been obedience trained; we’ve done everything we can to train him off-leash. How-ever, he still breaks free from his lead, leaves the yard and runs off, returning half an hour later. We’ve never had a dog behave this way before. What’s your solution?

A: Pet writer Kim Campbell Thornton sug-gests: “Work with a good trainer on teaching a reliable ‘come.’”Thornton, author of “Careers with Dogs” (BowTie Press, Irvine, CA, 2010; $24.94), adds, “Perhaps this dog isn’t returning, or you’re not there to call the dog. It doesn’t really matter. You have a hound dog that is ruled by his nose.”Charlene LaBelle, author of “A Guide to Back-packing with Your Dog” (Apline/Blue Rib-bon, Crawford, CO, 2004; $12.95), agrees. “A hound’s instinct is to run, and you know that’s the case with your dog,” she notes. “So, be sure that your dog is wearing an ID tag and is mi-crochipped. The reality, which you may not like, is that leash equals love.” Also, make sure that in addition to a dog tag and microchipping, you register with the mi-crochip provider. You indicated that your dog breaks free from his lead. If you literally mean he regularly breaks from his leash or harness, you need to fit him with another. This problem shouldn’t happen repeatedly.

”“Answerhere:

“JACK REACHER’’: The driving force behind one action franchise with “Mission: Impossible,’’ Tom Cruise aimed to launch another with this enjoyably tough melodrama centered around novelist Lee Child’s title character, an ex-military man trying to determine whether a former Army sniper is at the heart of several Pittsburgh murders. Rosamund Pike (“Die Another Day’’), Richard Jenkins, Robert Duvall and filmmaker Werner Herzog also star for director-screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie, who won an Oscar for his script for “The Usual Suspects’’ and also co-wrote “Valkyrie’’ for Cruise. ***

“MAMA’’: While she was making the award-season rounds for “Zero Dark Thirty,’’ Jessica Chastain projected a much different screen image as the rather Goth heroine of this horror tale from executive producer Guillermo del Toro (“Pan’s Labyrinth’’). She plays the girlfriend of the uncle (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, “Game of Thrones’’) of two children who vanished after their father killed their mother, and when they’re located several years later, very spooky doings accompany their return. Megan Charpentier and Isabelle Nelisse are effectively eerie as the youngsters. DVD extras: “making-of ’’ documentary; audio commentary by director and co-writer Andres Muschietti and producer and co-writer Barbara Muschietti; deleted scenes. ***

“SAFE HAVEN’’: Sincere performances, lovely scenery and other familiar elements of other Nicholas Sparks-based films - and a few new twists - factor into this drama, another trademark Sparks tale of a

complicated romance. A woman (Julianne Hough) on the run has to face her past and consider her future when she is drawn to a North Carolina widower (Josh Duhamel). Her new neighbor (Cobie Smulders, “How I Met Your Mother’’) tries to help her work through her maze of emotions. Lasse Hallstrom, who also guided the Sparks-inspired “Dear John,’’ directed the film. ***

“ROOKIE BLUE: THE COMPLETE THIRD SEASON’’: The Canadian cops - including Andy McNally (Missy Peregrym), who ended the previous season on suspension for her romance with colleague Sam Swarek (Ben Bass) - get back to business in this round of the drama, coming to home video just before Season 4 of the series begins May 23 on ABC. William Shatner guest stars in the first episode, which finds the rookies greeting a new war veteran peer (Peter Mooney) who has a past with Officer Gail Peck (Charlotte Sullivan). Gregory Smith, alias the show’s Dov Epstein, also directed one of the stories. ***

“STEEL MAGNOLIAS’’: The Robert Harling play fueled a movie version that has remained much-loved, thanks in large part to its all-star gathering of actresses, and it also fuels this Lifetime remake that unites many African-American performers. A Louisiana beauty shop remains the prime meeting place for the characters played by Queen Latifah (also an executive producer of the film), Phylicia Rashad (“The Cosby Show’’), Alfre Woodard and actress-musician Jill Scott. ***

“THE ORANGES’’: Two New Jersey families are brought closer together in a way they never anticipated in this comedy about a May-December romance, with Leighton Meester (“Gossip Girl’’) and Hugh Laurie (“House’’) playing the couple. The news does not go over well when others eventually learn of the affair. Catherine Keener, Oliver Platt, Allison Janney, Adam Brody and Alia Shawkat (“Arrested Development’’) also star. ***

NIGHT LIGHTS (continued):tobepopularagain.In1999,theRoute66Corridor

Restoration Act, helped to put neon signs of old back in the public eye. Many of the monuments to the past, including the neon signs that dotted Route66wererestoredandreinstalled.

• Artists andhistorianshavenotonlyhelped torevive the “retro” looking neon signs in cities and along highways, but “Neon Art” is nowconsidered at art form.

•NotonlycanyouseeoldneoninthemuseuminLas Vegas, new and specialized neon art is on display inLosAngeles. In1981, theMuseumofNeonArt (MONA)opened,being theonlymuseum in the world to specialize in neon as an art.

•Whetheryoupreferyournightlightinasmallelectric bulb or out in a city looking at the fancy displays or on a camping trip looking at stars and the moon in the sky, these all provide wonderful lights in the dark of night.

CONTRAILSThe long white trails of clouds that are formed when airplanes fly across the sky are called contrails. When the “friendly skies” are busy there are many crisscrossing lines. • Theword contrail is short for“condensation trail.”Webster’s Dictionary defines

contrails as “streaks of condensed water vapor created in the air by an airplane or rocket at high altitudes.”

•Contrails are considered“man-made” clouds since they are formedby airplaneexhausts. Water vapor condenses and freezes when air around planes and particles (aerosols) from the exhausts hits the cold temperatures present at high altitudes where airplanes fly.

•Contrailsareformedabove30,000feet,whichisapproximately5-6miles(9-10km)above the earth where the air is extremely cold; less than -40° F (-40° C).

• Aninterestingwaytothinkofcontrailsistocomparewhenyouexhalewarmmoistair in cold winter temperatures and “see your breath.” The damp, warm air coming from your lungs adds moisture to the air forming condensation. Usually the condensation from your breath evaporates in less than a second. Condensation from jet airplanes, in the form of contrails, can last quite a while, sometimes even for hours if the conditions are right.

• Justlikenaturalclouds,contrailsaremadeofwaterandicecrystals.Dependingon air conditions, contrails can last only a few minutes and be fairly small or they can grow miles long and remain visible for hours. The tiny moisture droplets in contrails freeze instantly and can’t evaporate or melt. They eventually fade away in what is called “sublimation,” when the solid particles turn to gas. It is the same situation as when dry ice ‘dissolves’ back into the air.

•The first recorded spottingof a contrail happenedover Italy in 1915by amannamed Ettenreich who said, “the condensation of a cumulus stripe from the exhaust gases of an aircraft” was visible for a while in the sky.

• Real interest incontrailsandmorepublishedreportscameaboutduringWorldWar II. It was at that time that more aircraft were produced and used in combat that had the ability to reach high altitudes.

• HundredsofaircraftworkingtogetheroverEuropegeneratedsomanycontrailsthat formations were hard to keep and targets hard to find. On the contrary, positions could be spotted by the enemy making aircraft vulnerable to enemy attack.

• H.Appleman,anAmericanscientist,in1953,andE.Schmidt,ascientistinGermany,independently studied contrails and developed the theory of contrail formation, called the Schmidt-Appleman Criterion that is still accepted today.
