SAAG marks 40th birthday
SAAG is looking great for 40.
The Southern Alberta Art Gallery celebrated its 40th
year in operation on Friday morning with a ceremony
involving cake, cards and kids.
Director/curator Ryan Doherty said the gallery has an
international reputation for excellence in programming.
“Really first-class artists, exhibitions and
publications,” he said. “One of the most amazing things
is that this contemporary approach has been supported
by the community from Day One, 40 years ago.”
Doherty said SAAG has always presented challenging
exhibitions from the first days of the gallery.
“Some of those early exhibits were challenging,” he
said. “I can look back through our archives and I’m still
floored. Some of those artists are still internationally
renowned artists. And the fact we started there really set
the bar high.”
This approach has also allowed the community to
think about art in a new way, promoting the idea that art
can help people view the world in a different way.
“It has allowed us to take that original vision to new
heights,” Doherty said.
Allan Harding MacKay was the founding director for
SAAG and said he is impressed with how far the gallery
has come in the past 40 years.
“It has always been a very important gallery and
connect with the art world for me,” he said. “It has just
been tremendous, the changes that happened with the
gallery over the years.”
Dynamite causes commotion
Part of main street in Coaldale was closed for several
hours Friday after a woman brought a stick of dynamite
to the town’s RCMP detachment.
Around 2 p.m. Friday, a woman attended the Coaldale
RCMP Municipal Detachment and told police she had
found a single stick of dynamite during the course of
cleaning up her property. She wanted the RCMP to
dispose of it.
In response, RCMP cleared and cordoned off a oneblock radius around the woman’s vehicle where the
dynamite was located, asking local residents to stay
clear of the area until the matter could be dealt with.
“We’re not sure how stable this dynamite is,” said Staff
Sgt. Glenn Henry of the Coaldale RCMP.
Coaldale RCMP were in consultations with the RCMP’s
explosive demolition unit and the unit was scheduled to
attend the scene and assist with the safe removal and
demolition of the dynamite. According to police, the
woman’s father was a miner and the dynamite was quite
old. Old dynamite can be an unstable hazard as
nitroglycerine can “sweat” out of the sticks.

Don’t gamble with your life
Randy Youngman
Alberta Office of Traffic Safety
Lotteries — spend a couple bucks
and have a chance at winning
millions! Lotteries are something we
gamble with, even though the odds
are so slim of winning. Gambling a
dollar … no big deal. Gambling with
your life … a different story!
So why wouldn’t we chose to do a
simple, quick act that almost
guarantees our odds of survival in
the event of a crash?
Research and collision
investigations show that seat belts
increase our chance of survival in a
collision by 50 per cent, according
to the Alberta Office of Traffic Safety.
According to Transport Canada,
nearly 40 per cent of drivers and
passengers killed in collisions were
not wearing a seatbelt at the time of
their collisions.
With statistics like that, it’s
amazing that people still choose to
go without their seat belt. Even
more disconcerting are adults who
endanger children’s lives by not
properly securing them in child
restraint safety seats. By law, every
child in Alberta, under the age of 6,
weighing not more than 18 kg. (40
lbs.), must be secured in an
approved child safety seat. The best
way to check for proper installation
is to read the instruction booklet
that comes with the seat as well as
your vehicle’s manual. If a child is
not secured properly in a safety seat
they can be injured or cause injury
to others by being thrown around
inside or ejecting from the vehicle.
Here in the southeastern corner of
Alberta we have a fantastic resource
for all child safety seat enquiries.
This is the South Eastern Alberta
Safety Alliance (SEASAS) and Safety
City. Call these experts at 403-5292912 and they will be able to answer
your questions. According to
Executive Director Tom Carney “the
most common mistakes we see with
car seat installations are improper
placement in the vehicle, failure to
tightly secure the units and
improper or no tethers on forward
facing child seats.”
In Medicine Hat, there is a drop-
in child restraint clinic every
Wednesday from 1 to 3 p.m., at the
Community Health Services
building, 2948 Dunmore Rd. S.E.
There is also a clinic, every fourth
Thursday 5:30 – 7:30 at Murray
Chevrolet service bays.
Brooks has a similar drop in clinic
every fourth Thursday 1 to 3 p.m. at
the Brooks Fire Hall. These are free
community services, with trained
“car seat technicians” to help you
ensure your child seat installation is
done properly.
Check with Community Health in
your community to inquire about
these clinics in your area.
Most people know that failing to
wear their seat belts can result in a
$155 fine. But failing to secure a
child properly in a child car seat or
failing to install that seat properly
can also result in a $155 fine.

COVER STORY
A helpful homework atmosphere
A quiet area free from
distractions can make doing
homework easier for kids
METRO NEWS SERVICE
C
lassrooms conducive to learning may go a long
way toward helping students understand the
subjects they study in school, but the
environment kids encounter at home also plays a
big role in how well kids do in their studies.
A homework-friendly atmosphere at home can
facilitate learning, and there are many ways parents can
create such an environment for their school-aged
children.
• Designate a homework zone in a distraction-free area
of your home. Some youngsters are easily distracted, and
those distractions come in many forms. A living room
where the television is blaring, a noisy kitchen where
dinner is being prepared and a room where pets can
roam free are not ideal homework areas, as each can take
kids’ attention away from their assignments. Designate a
room in your home that is quiet and well lit so kids can
do their homework free from distraction.
• Choose the right location for the homework room.
When choosing an area of your home where kids will do
their homework, avoid rooms adjacent to the kitchen and
living room, as these rooms tend to be popular and
subject to heavy foot traffic. But don’t choose a room
that’s too far away from the hustle and bustle, such as the
basement, as that may make kids feel as though they are
being punished. In addition, you want to be able to
periodically check in on kids to see if they need help and
make sure they aren’t spending their homework time
surfing the Internet or procrastinating.
• Keep the homework room clean. A cluttered
homework room may be less appealing to children, and
such disorganization also can distract kids from the tasks
at hand. Encourage kids to keep their homework rooms
clean, and help them clean up if need be. Supplies and
other items kids need should be easily accessible in the
homework room so kids are not wasting time looking for
items they need to complete their homework.
• Let kids rest or relax before starting their homework.
Another element of a good homework atmosphere is
letting kids unwind between getting home from school
and cracking open the books. A break between school
and homework time can help kids focus better on their
studies.
In the interim between arriving home from school and
starting on their homework, give kids a healthy snack that
can provide an extra jolt of energy they can use once they
School bus safety tips to remember
METRO NEWS SERVICE
With the start of a new school
term just around the corner,
countless children will board
school buses to take them to and
from school. Parents and
caregivers entrust their children’s
well-being to the care of school
bus drivers and aides. Although
parents may worry about school
bus accidents, such accidents are
few and far between.
The National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration advises
that school buses are designed to
be safer than passenger vehicles
in avoiding crashes and
protecting against injury. Buses
are arguably the safest mode of
transportation for getting kids to
and from school. By keeping
millions of cars off the roads
surrounding schools, school
buses contribute to less crowded
roadways, which are less
conducive to accidents.
Danger zone
Though parents may feel buses
are most likely to be in accidents
while in transit, experts advise
that children are more likely to
get hurt during pickups and
drop-offs when they’re in the
“danger zone” of the bus. The
danger zone is a 10-foot radius
around the outside of the bus.
Bus drivers and other motorists
find kids in the danger zone are
more difficult to see, and children
can get struck by either the bus or
oncoming cars that fail to stop
when the bus is picking kids up or
dropping them off.
Knowing the safety rules
While a large part of protecting
children is on the shoulders of the
school bus driver, it is also vital
for passengers to learn the basics
of school bus safety.
Kindergarteners or children who
are riding the bus for the first
time should be taught the rules of
school bus safety.
Some schools offer a school bus
tour prior to the new school year.
This lets youngsters acclimate
themselves with the look and feel
of the school bus. This
introduction also may include
information about bus safety, but
parents can also educate their
children (and themselves) about
using caution in and around the
bus by following these guidelines.
• Get to the bus stop 5 to 10
minutes prior to the assigned
pickup time. Rushing last-minute
can lead to injury, especially if
you’re chasing down the bus.
• Remain on the sidewalk or
grass at the bus stop. Do not step
off the curb into the street until
the bus has arrived and is
completely stopped.
• When boarding the bus, go
directly to a seat and sit down.
Buckle up if there are seatbelts on
the bus.
• Remain seated while the bus
is in motion.
• Keep voices low so as not to
distract the driver.
• Keep your head and hands
inside of the bus, and never hang
out of the window.
• Do not throw things on the
bus or play rough with friends or
classmates.
• Keep the aisle clear at all
times.
• Be careful when getting off
the bus. Hold on while going
down the stairs.
• Only get off at your
designated stop unless you have
permission to get off elsewhere.
• When exiting the bus, walk at
least 10 steps past the front of the
bus and cross in front where the
driver can see you. Do not cross
behind the bus.
• Wait for the driver to give you
a signal that it is safe to cross. Be
sure to check that all cars on the
road have come to a complete
stop.
• Get to the sidewalk or off the
street as quickly as possible.
• If you’ve forgotten something
on the bus, do not run back and
attempt to retrieve it. The driver
might not see you and start the
bus. Rather, call the bus company
and see if you can pick it up at
another time.
• Do not get into the cars of
strangers waiting around bus
stops, even if they offer to take
you home.
Parents can arrange to meet
with bus drivers so that they will
recognize their faces. Adults also
can encourage schools to host
bus safety courses to further
ensure their youngsters are safe.
start their homework.
• Evaluate how the homework zone is working. Once an
ample amount of time has passed, examine how kids are
performing on their homework assignments. If they are
doing well, then there is no reason to break up the
current routine. If they are struggling, ask them if there is
anything about the current setup they dislike and address
those issues accordingly.
Kids rarely look forward to doing their homework. But
the right atmosphere can make homework seem like less
of a chore and more of an opportunity for kids to apply
themselves.

If you happen to be fortunate
enough to find yourself in Invermere, B.C.
any time soon you will notice that every
tree on the main street has a wire cage
around it. These have been installed at
great expense to taxpayers in an attempt to
prevent deer damage. It is difficult to have
a garden in Invermere as the deer there
have developed a palate for just about
every living thing with leaves.
Squirrels have this

shelter and squirrels that are chased
around by their more local, native cousins.
They look lost because they are. But they
do precious little damage. For the most
part, they seem to be a nuisance when we
pay too much attention to them.
There are many critters that we tend to
demonize.
Bats do not advertise well. We have
many notions about them that are not
grounded in fact. While they can carry
rabies, they are less likely to than grounddwelling rodents and coyotes. They may
bite if you cornered one, but I cannot find
reports of them biting humans.
Bats consume flying insects in voracious
quantities. They can consume enough
mosquitoes to equal their body weight in
one evening. Bat populations are generally
in decline and that is too bad: we need
more native bats.
Snakes get a bad rap, too. I have no idea
why. I think that the story about the
Garden of Eden did them a poor service
and set them up to fail in the public
relations department. Perhaps the fact that
they are cold-blooded is a turn-off for
some people. The truth is, they control
mice and large insects like slugs, earwigs,
grubs and the like quite effectively. What is
not to like, except they aren’t cute.
Chipmunks are cute. And we are
overrun with them. This summer they
have burrowed under the locust tree in my
back yard with abandon. They run and
jump and skip and play, chasing each
other like identical twin boys with way too
much energy. Sometimes they make us
laugh out loud. Any damage that occurs in
our yard due to excess chipmunk activity is
forgiven because they are cute.
You know what aren’t cute? Coyotes.
They come over to our place most
evenings and howl at the moon and each
other between midnight and four in the
morning, often right under our bedroom
window. Coyotes are like the screaming
baby that is not satisfied by a bottle of
warm milk: they just seem to enjoy
howling.
Coyotes are the reason why I yawn a lot
mid-afternoon this time of year. They may
also be the reason why I don’t have deer or
rabbit problems in my garden. Perhaps I
should send a few of them to Invermere.

Nice knit jacket for
the man in your life
Let’s think about knitting a nice jacket for a worthy
man in our life now that the gift-giving season is just
around the corner.
This particular unique style is an easy knit and will suit
a younger male or a hip older man. We chose a classic
yarn that will keep its shape and last “forever.” The stylish
4 x 3 rib accentuates the shoulders. Knitting instructions
are given for two collar versions, a stand-up neck style, or
a fold-down collar. Instructions are given in six sizes from
chest size 97 cm (38 in.) to 122 cm (48 in.)
Knit in Sirdar’s “Country Style DK,” it requires five to
seven 100-gram balls (or 10 to 14 50-gram balls) in either
collar version. The yarn composition is 40 per cent nylon,
30 per cent wool, 30 per cent acrylic, has 44 fashion
shades, and is machine washable.

underground fluids, making it one of the top planets in
the solar system where extraterrestrial life might exist.
In 1872, the world’s first “Wild West
Show” was staged at Niagara Falls, Ont.
The main attraction was American
frontiersman James Butler “Wild Bill”
Hickock who appeared in “Buffalo Bill’s”
show until 1874. Hickock’s reputation as a
marksman made him a celebrity in the
travelling show.
In 1904, the first jail sentence for
speeding was handed down in Newport,

In 1797, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, wife of the poet
Percy Bysshe Shelley and the author of “Frankenstein,”
was born. She died in 1851.
In 1901, British engineer Cecil Booth patented the first
commercially produced vacuum cleaner. His gigantic
creation was mounted on wheels and parked outside the
houses being cleaned. One of its first jobs was to clean the
aisle carpet of Westminster Abbey for the 1902 coronation
of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra. The King was so
impressed he ordered vacuum cleaners for both
Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle.

On this date:
In 1666, “The Great Fire” of London
started in a wooden house on Pudding
Lane. The fire burned for three days,
destroying about 13,200 houses, some
bridges and a number of churches and
public buildings — including St. Paul’s
Cathedral. About 200,000 people were left

with founding the institution of fire
insurance.
In 1912, the first Calgary Stampede began. It was
instigated by Guy Weadick, an American trick roper who
thought Calgary would be a prime location for a big
rodeo. The Stampede, which takes place every July, is one
of the largest rodeos in the world.
In 1973, J.R.R. Tolkien, English Christian language
scholar and novelist, died at age 81. His 1954-55 “Lord of

in which evil is routed through courage and sacrifice.
Sept. 3
On this date:
In 1609, English explorer Henry Hudson and his crew
aboard the “Half Moon” entered present-day New York
Harbor and began sailing up the river that now bears his
name. (They reached present-day Albany before turning
back.)
In 1894, Labour Day was first celebrated in Canada and
the United States to honour working men and women.
The contribution of organized labour to Canadian society
has been recognized since 1872 when parades and rallies
were staged in Ottawa and Toronto. Parliament
proclaimed the first Monday in September as Labour Day.
In 1962, Prime Minister John Diefenbaker officially
opened the Trans-Canada Highway from the summit of
Rogers Pass, B.C. Total cost of the world’s longest national
highway, which stretched 7,821 kilometres from St. John’s,
Nfld., to Victoria, B.C., was more than $1 billion. The
target for completion was 1956, but the highway was not
finished until 1970.
he governments may change, but some of the
actions don’t.
Two Liberal cabinet ministers have been
under fire recently over expenditures which
critics viewed as a waste of taxpayers’ money. Last
week, after it was revealed that Health Minister Jane
Philpott submitted bills of $1,700 and more than
$1,900 for high-end car service on separate days,
Philpott said she would repay $3,700. Then this week,
the Opposition Conservatives used the Access to
Information Act to show that Philpott had billed
taxpayers $520 for use of Air Canada’s executive
airport lounges in North America and Europe.
Meanwhile, Environment Minister Catherine
McKenna was defending her office’s spending of
$6,600 to hire a professional photographer to
document her participation at the COP21 climate
summit in Paris last fall. On Tuesday, McKenna said
she has instructed her department to review the
practice. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also noted
the photographer hiring was among “many longstanding government policies that we are
questioning and that’s certainly one that we are
looking at as perhaps not the best use of public
funds.”
Too bad it was questioned after the expense was
made public and not before the money was shelled
out.
In the grand scheme of federal budgets, $3,700 for
a limousine service, $520 for airport lounge
privileges and $6,600 for photography services
amounts to a small drop in the bucket. But those are
the sorts of things that contribute to ordinary
citizens’ often cynical view of politicians as being
more interested in entitlements than in serving the
people who elected them.
The opposition is quick to jump on such
indiscretions, but similar cases of questionable
expenditures can usually be found within their own
ranks, too.
Regardless of which politician is involved —
whether MP or senator — the fact remains that such
expenses give the impression of a lack of respect for
taxpayers’ hard-earned money. Perhaps you could
argue that our federal political representatives
deserve some perks appropriate to their office.
However, if you’re a Canadian voter who is struggling
to make ends meet and having to sacrifice in order to
do so, seeing a federal minister spending $16 for a
glass of orange juice (as former Tory cabinet minister
Bev Oda famously did) or shelling out $1,700 for a
limousine ride is probably going to raise your
hackles.
The Trudeau Liberals promised “Real Change”
during the last election campaign. One way to
produce welcome change would be to start weeding
out unnecessary expenses from government
departments. It may not add up to a large amount of
cash in the big picture, but it will go a long way
toward showing Canadians that they have respect for
taxpayers’ money.

FRESH START TO SCHOOL YEAR
ULSU Freshfest helps
students build
connections
Richard Amery
For the Sun Times
T
he University of Lethbridge
Students’ Union wants to help new
students get the year off to a great
start with Freshfest.
The annual event features a variety of
activities throughout the week, Sept 8-10,
culminating with the Freshfest Jamboree
on Saturday, Sept. 10 featuring a topnotch lineup of touring musicians and
local talent including Riley Miller aka DJ
Millz Skillz, the AWD Fellows, the
Silkstones, Fernie stoke folk group Shred
Kelly, the always popular Calgary rockers
the Dudes and Thunder Bay-based chart
topper Coleman Hells and the always
entertaining Mother Mother.
U of L VP of student affairs Royal Adkin
is excited to put his stamp on the popular
annual mixer which has grown since
beginning in 2007.
He is grateful to the earlier Freshfest
organizers like Riley Miller for building
such a strong foundation for Freshfest.
“We’re just building on it a little bit,” he
said, adding construction on campus has
meant organizers have had to rethink a
few logistical challenges.
“It has been a lot of work, but it has
been worth it,” Adkin said.
“It’s definitely a more refined Freshfest
this year,” he said.
He noted Freshfest evolved over the
past seven years when it was called
Bridgefest, then became Froshfest.
“They had events happening in the
parking lot and events all over campus,”
he related.
“They also had a torch relay. It was
always a chance to make those social
connections that are so important. And it
was a chance to have some fun before the
pressure of classes and exams,” he
continued.
He said Freshfest draws a good-sized
crowd each year.
“The University of Lethbridge has 6,985
undergraduate students and over 8,000
with post-graduate students. We get
between 1,700 to 1,900 of them, which is a
good portion of them,” he said.
Freshfest opens with a luau from 1-5
p.m. on Sept. 8. After that there will be a
screening of the movie “Mean Girls” in the
U of L student bar the Zoo.

Riley Miller (DJ Millz Skillz) and Royal Adkin are excited about Freshfest 2016, taking place Sept. 8-10.
“Because of all of the construction, it
won’t be an outdoor screening, instead it
will be in the Zoo,” said Adkin, adding that
is also one of the partnerships with other
organizations and the groups at the
university that Freshfest is hoping to
foster.
“And ‘Mean Girls’ is a cult classic. It
speaks to a number of different things,” he
said.
The next day, Friday, July 9, features the
always popular “Rumble in the Jungle” in
the Zoo.
“It’s a really fun party. It’s a DJ. There’s a
big party. It’s a good way to make all of
those social connections that are so
important,” Adkin said, adding Freshfest
is also a way to help students party
responsibility.
He is excited about the line-up for the
Freshfest jamboree.
“We went through hundreds of
submissions for bands,” he said, adding
the organizers wanted to include local
talent as well as better-known names,
including familiar faces like Shred Kelly,
who played the Students’ Frostbite winter
event.
The jamboree begins at 4 p.m. with
Millz Skillz setting the soundtrack for the
party. He will also be DJing for The AWD
Fellows.
Local rock band the Silkstones will
follow them, then Shred Kelly, the Dudes
followed by Thunder Bay electro folk
musician Coleman Hell who has a few top
40 hits including “Two Heads.” A 75minute set from Mother Mother, who
played packed shows in Lethbridge in
2014 and 2012, will bring the show to a
close at 11 p.m.
“I hope it will be a good time. I know it
will be,” Adkin promised.
Tickets are available on a tiered level
through the website
http://freshfest.ulsu.ca, with the price
increasing closer to the date.
“So it is in students’ best interests to buy
their tickets earlier,” he said.
The first tier tickets at $20 almost
immediately sold out. Other tiers range
from $25 to the Fully Fresh package at $60.
There were only 100 Tier 4 tickets left as of
Aug. 22.
The Fully Fresh package includes a
wristband to all events plus a swag bang
including an official Freshfest 2016 T-shirt,
Freshfest Stunna shades, lip balm, lemon
ball, sunscreen and temporary tattoos.
Riley Miller has been involved in
organizing Freshfest for the past five
years. Miller is excited to open the
jamboree for the first time as DJ Millz
Skillz.
“It’s my job to get the party started and
people want to hear songs they know,” he
said, noting he has been DJing parties and
events for the past five years.
“I spin electronica, drums and bass and
trap. It’s all strongly in the EDM genre,” he
said.
He always enjoys being part of
Freshfest.
“It’s a lot of fun. It’s a tropical theme. It’s
a week long good times and good vibes
and meeting new people,” he enthused.
“It’s a good way to start off the year
right,” he said.
Only fond memories remain as Slice closes doors
I never thought I’d be writing a eulogy for
my favourite hangout — The Slice, which
officially closed its doors Aug. 22 after 11
amazing years. There were hugs,
handshakes and high fives aplenty and a
few tears at the three wakes for The Slice
last week including Petunia and the Vipers,
a spontaneous last-minute Saturday open
stage and the Moon Runner/Moon
Tan/Rainbow Patrol show on Aug. 22.
Is it wrong to shed tears for a bar like so
many did during the Petunia and the
Vipers’ Aug. 19 show? I don’t think so. The
Slice was more than a just a bar, it has been
a godsend and a second home for the
Lethbridge music community, especially
since the Tongue N’ Groove closed its doors
about the same time The Slice started
taking off and Henotic was just beginning
in the old firehall. When I arrived,
everybody I talked to raved about their

adventures and misadventures at the
Tongue N’ Groove, but I only arrived in time
to catch the last couple of shows there so I
never really understood the magic people
seemed to find there until I learned The
Slice was closing.
In 2007, I had just moved back to
Lethbridge from Kenora, Ontario where I
spent a lot of time in Winnipeg, hanging out
at the Times Changed. When I found the
Slice, I thought I found my home away from
home. And as soon as I had their pizza, I
knew I had.
They brought in some of my favourite
Winnipeg performers like the Perpetrators
and Romi Mayes and D Rangers and Scott
Nolan (who would also frequently play
Kenora) which made the transition of a big
move to a new community (though I went
to school here back in the day) a lot easier.
Like a lot of people, I always figured The
Slice would always be there. They’ve
outlasted a lot of local watering holes which
featured music or bars that have moved
away from live music because people don’t
come out for it.
It’s easy to take an institution like The
Slice for granted. Even if you were too tired,
too poor or feeling too lazy to go out and
see a show there, you always assumed you’d
be able to catch the next one. All good
things come to an end. I guess. But to see it
actually go is a devastating blow to
everybody in Lethbridge’s burgeoning
counter-culture community who was
looking for a place to listen to live music
you wouldn’t hear anywhere else; people
who didn’t want to go a bar and watch a
dozen TVs showing sports (the one tiny TV
in The Slice was set in a dingy corner above
the bar and kitchen usually featured a
cooking show and sometimes a Flames
game); people looking for a place to belong
and perhaps meet other people a little bit
off the mainstream. The troublemakers,
sloppy drunks, scrappers and pickup artists
who always seem to flock to bars seldom
found their way to The Slice. At least not
that I saw.

The Slice has been a cornerstone of the

Is it real or is it memory?
Q. It’s the stuff of science fiction: Scientists conduct brain operations that
implant a memory of something that never happened. What’s the true story
here?
A. The actors were a team at the French National Center for Scientific
Research, the brains those of five mice, reports Teal Burrell in “Discover”
magazine. First, the researchers monitored the brain of each mouse as it
wandered in a large, open arena, noting the “place cells” that lit up. Later, when
the mouse slept, “its place cells lit up again as the brain replayed the memory of
roaming the chamber. (It’s believed the sleeping brain rehashes waking
experiences to create long-term memories.)”
Then, when a place cell denoting one particular spot lit up, researchers
simultaneously stimulated one of the brain’s pleasure centers, connecting that
spot to a reward like a chunk of cheese. Outcome: Upon awakening and reentering the arena, the mouse headed straight for the stimulated spot (“Nature
Neuroscience”).
Scientists think that during sleep, replay memories are malleable, perhaps
providing a way to treat anxiety disorders like post-traumatic stress disorder.
But, project co-director Karim Benchenane
cautions, “reversing bad memories is trickier
than creating positive ones.”
Q. When it comes to idiomatic geography,
what’s going on when “hell freezes over”? And
there’s more to come.
A. That’s Hell, Michigan, where the average
January temperature is 17 degrees F., reports
“Mental Floss” magazine. Supposedly, its name
goes back to the 1830s, when local wives would
lament their husbands visiting a nearby
moonshiner, saying the men had “gone to hell.”
By Bill Sones & Rich
Ask residents of Setenil de las Bodegas, Spain,
Sones, PhD
whether they “live under a rock” and most likely
For the Sun Times
they’d answer “yes.” Rooted in a river gorge, part
of the town was built into mountain caves, thus
“turning a large rock overhang into a readymade roof.”
With their heads at times literally “in the clouds” are inhabitants of El Alto,
Bolivia, a city of one million sitting at 13,650 feet, nearly three times as high as
Denver. It’s “like dropping San Jose, California, on top of the Grand Tetons.”
And for those who would embrace “the wild goose chase,” there’s no better
place than in Canada’s Dewey Soper Migratory Bird Sanctuary, the planet’s
largest goose sanctuary and home to about 30 percent of Canada’s breeding
geese. But be careful about a literal goose chase, says the magazine. “Geese can
be vicious!”
STRANGE
BUT
TRUE
Q. Today 17% of homes worldwide have air conditioning but experts predict
that by the end of the century, the number will rise to 70% as a growing global
middle class demands it. How might a robotic air conditioner, an office chair on
ice, and cool insoles provide some super-cool technological relief?
A. Air conditioning is energy-intensive but highly inefficient, cooling an entire
structure when only a person’s immediate microclimate needs it, says Evan
Ackerman in “IEEE Spectrum” magazine. Enter the U.S. government’s DELTA
program with cutting-edge technologies for “Delivering Efficient Local Thermal
Amenities.”
RoCo, the robotic personal conditioning device, has “a heater and air
conditioner on top of a mobile base that can lock into your smartphone’s signal
and autonomously follow you around, gently blowing warm or cold air to keep
you at a comfortable temperature.” For a commercial building, up to 30% of
energy costs could be saved.
Then there’s a wirelessly powered climate-controlled office chair with heating
elements and small fans built into the back and seat. It uses only 14 watts for
heating and about four watts for cooling, and when the seat is empty, the system
is turned off. Finally, consider thermoregulating footwear. Since the soles of
your feet are part of “the body’s radiator,” a work boot known as ReBoot has a
thin insole with water channels running through it. “Cool water absorbs heat
from the glabrous tissue at the bottom of your foot and gets pumped to a heat
sink and fan hidden in the boot’s sole.” Stay tuned. These technologies may be
commercial reality within the next two years.
