TIDBITS® EXAMINES =

NOBEL PRIZESby Kathy Wolfe

Most everyone has heard of the Nobel Prizes, but how much do you know about their origin and the winners? Tidbits brings you a history of the Prizes and a sampling of a few winners. • A Swedish inventor and businessman was the foundation

for the fi ve categories of Nobel Prizes awarded each year. Alfred Nobel, born in Stockholm in 1833, was 30 years old when he was working on developing nitroglycerine as an explosive for the mining industry. Unfortunately, Nobel’s own brother was killed in an explosion during their experiments. In 1864, Nobel was able to start mass-producing nitroglycerine, meanwhile experimenting with mixing nitro with a fi ne sand to make a paste to shape into rods that could be inserted into drilling holes. In 1866, he received a patent for his new invention which he called “dynamite.” This was closely followed by the invention of a detonator in order to set off the dynamite by lighting a fuse. His innovation was so successful, Nobel set up 90 factories in more than 20 countries.

• Nobel never married, living much of his life as a very wealthy recluse prone to depression. By the time he died at age 63, he had 355 patents.

NOBEL PRIZES (continued):• Alfred Nobel’s will designated 94% of his vast

fortune toward establishing fi ve Nobel Prizes in Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Literature, and Peace to those who, “during the preceding year, shall have conferred the greatest benefi t on mankind.” His relatives vehemently contested the will, and it took four years for the executors to cut through the red tape necessary to adhere to Alfred Nobel’s wishes. In 1901, the prizes were awarded for the fi rst time.

• In 1968, a sixth Nobel Prize was added to the original list, a prize in Economics, established and funded by Sweden’s central bank in memory of Alfred Nobel.

• Today’s Nobel Prize winners are awarded $1.26 million (U.S. Dollars) for their achievements.

• The average age of a Nobel Prize Laureate is 59 years. The youngest recipient is Lawrence Bragg, who at age 25, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1915 jointly with his father “for their services in the analysis of crystal structure by means of X-rays.”

• One family has received fi ve Nobel prizes. Marie Curie received the 1903 Physics prize and the 1911 prize in Chemistry. Her husband Pierre shared the 1903 prize with her. Their daughter Irene was awarded the Chemistry prize in 1935, along with her husband Frederic. The husband of Marie’s daughter Eve, Henry Labouisse, won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1965 as the director of UNICEF. Marie Curie was the fi rst to receive more than one Nobel Prize, and the fi rst person known to die of radiation poisoning. Throughout all her work with radioactivity, it was not known that radiation was dangerous.

• Ernest Rutherford, a New Zealand scientist, is considered the father of nuclear physics. He received the 1908 Chemistry prize for his work with the chemistry of radioactive substances, discovering the concept of radioactive half-life and alpha and beta radiation. Yet his most famous work was performed nine years after his prize, when he became the fi rst to split the atom in a nuclear reaction. The chemical element rutherfordium (Element 104) is named after him. Fourteen of Rutherford’s students went on to become Nobel Prize winners themselves.

• Albert Einstein was responsible for “the world’s most famous equation,” E=mc2, the formula for mass-energy equivalence. But that wasn’t the work for which he received his Nobel Prize in Physics. In 1921, this genius took the prize for discovering the cause of the photoelectric effect.

• Following a vacation at his country home, Scottish biologist Alexander Fleming returned to his lab to fi nd a fungus had developed in a stack of Petri dishes that contained a staphylococcus culture. The bacteria had died all around the area containing the mold, prompting him to perform experiments over the next 20 years showing that the mold prevented growth of staphylococci, even when diluted 800 times. Fleming named his “mold juice” penicillin, and it was produced as an antibiotic that could cure numerous serious infectious diseases. For his work in the fi eld of Medicine, Fleming was awarded the 1945 Nobel Prize.

• The “fi rst person in the Western world to have shown us that a struggle can be waged without violence” was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. At 33, Martin Luther King, Jr. became the youngest person to receive this honor for his work in America’s civil rights movement. King donated the prize money to the movement.

Purring and Feline Meditation

Early in kittenhood purring becomes a mysterious part of your cat. About two days of age kittens purr in the presence of their mother and nursing. Early purring is a signal to mom that ‘things are good’ and kneading with the front paws stimu-lates milk let down. Mature kittens continue to purr around humans and this may be a transfer of a mother fi gure emotion to surrogate humans. Finally, the three related behaviors of purring, kneading and drooling show a link to nursing and feline contentment.

Purring is communication, emotion and medita-tion all wrapped in one. Cats purr when they are comfortable and content, when they are anxious and fearful, when they are anxious or are in pain and when they are sick or injured. It appears that purring puts the domestic feline in a meditative state that can vibrate into his human friends. Pet-ting cats and the resultant purr has been proven to bring down human blood pressure and reduce stress. Add laughter and play to the domestic feline equation and humans and cats have a win, win situation.

How do cats purr? The sound comes from the larynx where the vocal folds vibrate at constant frequencies. Turbulent air fl ow during respiration is called “tonal buzz” by scientists but we know it as purring!

Humans become more productive in the presence of cats. When college students were allowed feline roommates at fi ve major universities, these students studied longer, had less stress and got a grade point higher than students who did not have a feline study buddy. Cats have also been shown to help autistic children focus on studies and live a more productive life. The ‘sacred bond’ be-tween a purring cat and humans has spanned the years from the early Egyptians to the present.

Jade Jade has been known to mankind for some 7000years, but in prehistoric times was known more for its toughness and was used for weapons and tools. As early as 3000 BC jade was employed inChina as a royal gem and has enjoyed a long history in the art and culture of the Chinese empire. Over the years the people of Asia have placed a greater importance on jade than any other culture. The ancient Mayas, Aztecs and Olmecs of Central America also valued jade – even more

highly than gold. The Maoris of New Zealand continue to use jade in weapons and cult instruments, a practice that began in early times. In ancient Egypt jade was admired as the stone of love, inner peace, harmony and balance.

Other religions and cultures have also deemed jade as a protecting force and good fortune. Today this gem is believed to be a symbol of goodness, beauty, justice, wisdom, compassion, and courage, not to mention, female-erotic!Jade’s subtle luster along with its naturally tough-ness may be why it has been so appreciated around the world and down through the centu-ries. It comes in many �ne nuances of green, but also in shades of white, black, gray, yellow, orange and even in delicate violet tones.

NOBEL PRIZES (continued):• In the fi eld of Literature, you’ll most likely

recognize the names of Rudyard Kipling (1907), George Bernard Shaw (1925), Eugene O’Neill (1936), Pearl S. Buck (1938), Ernest Hemingway (1954), and John Steinbeck (1962). Although British statesman Sir Winston Churchill would normally be thought of as a candidate in the area of peace, he was actually awarded the Literature prize in 1953 for his works The Second World War and A History of the English Speaking Peoples.

• Since 1901, more than 860 Nobel Prizes have been awarded. Of that number only 44 have been awarded to women, including the 1979 Peace Prize given to Mother Teresa. This Albanian nun, born Anjeze Gonxhe Bojaxhiu, founded the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta, India, in 1950, and spent 45 years caring for the poor, sick, orphaned, and dying.

• American pathologist Francis Peyton Rous discovered a carcinogenic virus in 1911, observing that a malignant tumor could be transferred via a virus. His work was widely discredited by experts at the time, and it was not until 1966 that his work was deemed worthy of a Nobel Prize. Rous was 87 years old when he accepted his long-delayed award, and continued working until his death at age 91.

• French surgeon Alexis Carrel received the 1912 Nobel Prize in Medicine as a pioneer in blood vessel suturing. Twenty years later he teamed up with famed pilot Charles Lindbergh to invent a “perfusion pump,” a device that allowed living organs to exist outside of the body during surgery, opening the door to the development of open heart surgery, organ transplants, and the artifi cial heart.

FAMOUS CANADIANS:

NOBEL PRIZE WINNERSIn keeping with our theme of Nobel Prizes this week, Tidbits focuses on a few of the many Canadians who have been awarded various prizes. • There were no Canadian-born Chemistry prize

winners until 1983, when Henry Taube became the fi rst chemist to receive the award for his “work in the mechanisms of electron transfer reactions.” Since that time, Canadians have been awarded the Chemistry prize in 1986, 1992, and 1993.

• The career of Alice Munro has stretched over 45 years and in 2013, the 82-year-old Ontario author was fi nally rewarded for her efforts with the Nobel Prize in Literature, only the 13th woman to win the Literature prize since it was founded in 1902. Quebec-born Saul Bellow won in Literature in 1976, but because he moved to Chicago as a young child, he is considered an American writer, so Munro is largely deemed to be the fi rst Canadian to win. Her fi rst collection of stories wasn’t published until she was 37 years old.

• Nova Scotia native Charles Brenton Huggins was a pioneer in cancer research, discovering that hormones could be used to control the spread of some cancers. His research demonstrated that cancer growth was dependent on specifi c hormones and that by removing the source of those hormones, signifi cant reversal resulted, a discovery that gave tremendous hope to those with prostate and breast cancer. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1966.

• Since the Nobel Prize in Economics was instituted in 1969, Canadians have taken this award three times, in 1996, 1997, and 1999.

Mid-March Lawn Care Tips

FERTILIZATIONSpring fertilization provides your lawn with the nutrients needed to produce strong roots and grass that resists weeds, disease and insects. A high percentage (up to 65%) slow release fertilizer will both green up your lawn quickly but also feed your lawn slowly over the next 6 – 8 weeks to produce a healthy lawn this spring.

SPRING AERATIONAeration, or core cultivation, is standard lawn care. Aerating a lawn means supplying the soil with air, usually by poking holes in the ground throughout the lawn using an aerator. It reduces soil compaction and helps control thatch in lawns while helping water and fertilizer move into the root zone. Lawns should be thoroughly watered the day before aerating so plugs can be pulled more deeply and easily. Mark all sprinkler heads, shallow irrigation lines and cable TV lines before aerating so those lines will not be damaged.

INSECT TREATMENTThe last few years Colorado has seen an “infes-tation” of Chinch bugs. These bugs will eat the roots of your grass leaving large “dead” areas that will require sod or reseeding to replace it. The cost of treatment is much cheaper that the cost of replacement.

Chris Dominy is the owner of Parker based Best-Yard.com and Weed Man Lawn Care. If you have additional questions about your lawn, search our lawn care library at denver.weedmanusa.com, or visit www.bestyard.com.

MOMENTS IN TIMEThe History Channel

• On March 31, 1776, future fi rst lady Abigail Adams writes to her husband urging him to “remember the ladies” when drafting a new code of laws for the fl edgling nation.

Abigail pondered if and how the rights of women would be addressed in an American constitution.

• On April 4, 1841, only 31 days after assuming offi ce, William Henry Harrison, the ninth president of the United States, dies at the White House. At his inauguration, Har-

rison declined to wear a jacket or hat and made a two-hour speech. Soon afterward, he developed pneumonia.

• On April 5, 1859, naturalist Charles Darwin sends his publishers the fi rst three chapters of “Origin of Species,”

which will become one of the most infl uential books ever published. Knowing the fates of scientists who had published radical theories and been ostracized or worse,

Darwin had held off publishing his theory of natural selec-tion for years.

• On April 1, 1924, Adolf Hitler is sentenced for his role in the Beer Hall Putsch of Nov. 8, 1923. He had been charged

with high treason. Despite his conviction, he was out of jail before the end of the year, with his political position

stronger than ever.

• On April 3, 1936, Richard Bruno Hauptmann, convicted in the kidnapping and murder of the 20-month-old son of

famed aviator Charles Lindbergh, is executed by electrocu-tion. In 1932, Charles Jr. was kidnapped from the nursery

of the Lindbergh home.

• On April 2, 1979, the world’s fi rst anthrax epidemic begins in Ekaterinburg, Russia (now Sverdlosk). Thirteen years later the epidemic was fi nally explained: Workers

at a weapons plant had failed to replace a fi lter, causing a release of anthrax spores into the outside air.

• On April 6, 1950, a train plunges off a bridge into a rain-swollen river in Tangua, Brazil, killing 110 people. Days of torrential rains had undermined the bridge’s foundation, but there was no warning system to stop the train. The locomo-tive and fi ve cars fell into the river. The remaining 17 cars

somehow stayed on the tracks.
