Your Muscular System
Kids World News 1-877-570-3340 www.kidsworldnews.org October
2015, Page 3
The muscular system ismade up of tissues that workwith the
skeletal system tocontrol movement of thebody. Without muscles,
youcouldnt open your mouth,breathe, shake hands, walk,talk or move
your foodthrough your digestive sys-tem. Without muscles, youwould
not be able to do any-thing!
Everyones body weight isabout 40% muscle. Thereare over 630
muscles that
help you move. Muscles cant push - they pull. Muscles often
workin pairs so that they can pull in different or opposite
directions.
The cells that make up your muscles contract and then relax.
Mi-croscopic fibers in these cells compress by sliding in past each
otherlike a sliding door when you open and shut it. The cells are
fed bychemical energy from the food you eat.
There are three different types of muscles. The first is the
Cardiacmuscles that are found only in your heart. They power the
action thatpumps blood throughout your body. The second type are
smoothmuscles and like the cardiac muscles - they are involuntary.
Thatmeans that you dont know when they are doing their job! Some
ex-amples are - when you breath (movement of your diaphragm) or
whenyour eyes blink! Or when you digest the food you eat! They are
au-tomatic movements that are controlled by the nervous system
andhormones. The third type are muscles known as voluntary or
skele-tal muscles. They only work when you tell them to. Like the
musclesin your arms and legs that help you walk or pick things
up.
You can also hurt your muscles - like pulling or tearing them.
But,they can most often heal themselves because they are living
bodyparts!
Interesting Facts: You have over 30 facial muscles which create
looks like surprise,happiness, sadness and frowning. Eye muscles
are the busiest muscles in the body. Scientists esti-
mate they may move more than 100,000 times per day! The largest
muscles in the body is the gluteus maximus muscles inthe
buttocks.

Its that time of the year again to go in search of the Great
Pump-kin. But have you ever wondered how did your pumpkin
grow?Gather up the family and lets head to your favorite pumpkin
patchand find out.
Your pumpkins life started a few months ago. The farmer had
tocarefully chose the spot for planting the patch, a large area
with a lotof sunshine. Sometime after the earth had warmed from the
winterand the mornings were no longer frosty in late May and early
June,the pumpkin seeds were planted into the dark rich soil. The
sun con-tinued to warm the earth and rain fell on the land. Deep in
the soil,the pumpkin seed grew roots and leaves began to appear out
of thedirt. The leaves grew large and after five weeks, the first
flowers ap-peared. It contained two kinds of flowers - a male and a
female
flower. The male flow-ers had a stamen inthe center that
con-tained the pollen. Thefemale flower had ababy pumpkin at
itsbase. The pumpkinvines big bright flow-ers attracted many
in-sects. They wouldcome often to visit theflowers and as
theywalked from the maleflower to the femaleflower, pollination
oc-curred.
The flowers then fellfrom the plant and thepumpkin began togrow.
It seemed togrow slowly at first andlooked just like a smallgreen
ball. Within afew weeks, it grew tothe size of a basket-ball.
Pumpkin plantsare very thirsty so the
The Perfect Pumpkinfarmer had to make sure that your pumpkin had
plenty of water. Thepumpkin plant grew and stretched into long
vines that covered theground. In August and into September, the
pumpkin started to changeits color from green into orange. Now its
October and the patchboasts of big, beautiful, orange pumpkins. So,
let the search beginfor your perfect pumpkin!
Once you get your pumpkin home, the best way to keep your
pump-kin fresh is to protect it from cold weather and bacteria that
can makeit sick and rot too soon. On nights when the weatherman
says it willfreeze, put your pumpkin in the garage or basement.
Next comes the fun part! Deciding what to do with your
pumpkin!You could use it as a decoration for your Thanksgiving
table, paint itwith a smile like your own, or carve it to make a
jack-o-lantern. Letyour creative juices flow. You can use yarn for
hair, vegetables for fa-cial features, even add earrings and dress
them up with clothes!
After Halloween, do not throw away your pumpkin! If you have a
fewseeds left inside the shell, you can recycle your pumpkin by
putting itin your garden over the winter. After the snow falls and
spring beginsto warm the earth, Mother Nature may leave you a
surprise! A newpumpkin plant of your own!
Pumpkin Seed RecipeIngredients:Seeds from 1 pumpkin4 Tablespoons
butter1/2 teaspoon garlic salt2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
1. When carving your pumpkin, separate the seeds from the

Bowling is one of the most popular sports around the world.There
are many reasons for its popularity: Children and adults of nearly

The Violin!One of the best known instruments in the orchestra is
the violin.
The violin can be traced back to Italy in the early 1500s. The
vio-lin was officially designed by Andrea Amati, an Italian lute
maker.Amati was asked to build the violin as a lighter alternative
to thelyre.
The violin is played with a bow. It is the highest pitched
instru-ment in the violin family which includes the cello, the vass
viol andthe viola. It is made up of the front, ribs, neck,
fingerboard, pegbox,
the scroll, the bridge,the tailpiece, chinrest and the
f-holes.It has four strings (G, D, A, and E )which are fastenedto
the tailpiece, restover the fingerboardand run to the peg-box. At
the pegbox,the strings are at-tached to the tuningpegs. By
turningthese pegs, the violincan be tuned. Whenthe musicianchanges
finger posi-tions on the strings,different notes aremade. The bow
isdrawn across thestrings which soundthe tone.
In the 17th and18th centuries, thecraft of violin makingbegan.
Artists such
Itzhak PerlmanIsreali-born United States violinist, Itzhak
Perlman has been
noted as being among the leading violinists before the public.
Inthe twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, no other concert
vi-olinist hasachieved thewidespread ex-posure or popu-larity
attained byPerlman.
Despite a boutwith polio at theage of four thatleft his legs
par-alyzed, he wasa prodigy andmade his U.S.television debutat age
13 on the Ed Sullivan Show. Taking up residence in NewYork City, he
enrolled in Julliard School of Music. There is stud-ied with Ivan
Galamian and Dorothy DeLay. Recognition of hisgifts led to a highly
successful career as orchestral soloist andchamber-music player,
with scores of recordings. Blessed with apopular touch, he has
appeared on television, played jazz andklezmer music, and involved
himself in educating young musi-cians.
as Antonio Stradivarius, Giuseppe Guarneri and Jacob Stainermade
them in their workshops. Antonio Stradivarius is responsi-ble for
creating possibly the best violin in the world named afterhimself,
the Stradivarius. Many professional violinists choose toplay this
instrument and they can sell for millions of dollars.
At first, the violin wasnt very popular and considered low
sta-tus socially. But by the 1800s, well known composers such
asClaudio Monteverdi used the violin in operas. The violin began
togain some stature in the Baroque period as more known com-posers
began using the violin in their works. One of these com-posers was
Johann Sebastian Bach. By the mid-18th century,the violin was a
vital part in instrumental music. It wasnt until the19th century
that violin virtuosos emerged.

GrandmaMoses
Anna Mary Robertson, known as Grandma Moses was born
inGreenwich, New York on September 7, 1860. She was the thirdof ten
children born to Russel King Robertson and Margaret Shan-nahan. She
had a happy childhood and worked hard on the fam-ily farm. Her
father would buy large sheets of blank newspaperand the children
would draw. Anna would draw happy, colorfulscenes. Her education
was limited as she could only attendschool in the summer due to the
cold climate and her lack of warmclothing. At the age of twelve,
Anna began earning her living as ahired girl at homes near their
farm.
In 1887, Anna married a farm worker named Thomas S. Moses.They
settled on a farm in Virginia. Having five children that sur-vived,
they moved to Eagle Bridge, New York where she spent therest of her
life.
It was here where she painted her first painting. The story
goesthat she was wallpapering and ran out of paper, so she put
upwhite paper and painted a scene later known as the Fireboard.Her
earliest work used embroidery. She embroidered pictureswhat were
greatly admired. At the age of seventy-six, because ofarthritis,
she began to paint in earnest. Her early work was mostlybased on
scenes she found in illustrated books.
In 1938, Annas paintings were discovered by an art
collector,Louis Caldor. In October 1939, three of these paintings
were ex-hibited at the Contemporary Unknown Painters show at
NewYorks Museum of Modern Art. Her first individual showing washeld
in New York City in 1940 and she immediately became fa-mous. By
1943 there was an overwhelming demand for her Amer-ican Primitive
pictures, partially because her homespun, countryscenes brought
about wonderful feelings and memories for manypeople.
She quickly became known as Grandma Moses by the pressand the
name stuck. On September 19, 1960 LIFE magazine cel-ebrated her
100th birthday featuring her on its cover. New YorkGovernor Nelson
Rockefeller also proclaimed her 100th birthday
as GrandmaMoses Day inher honor.
Her paintingswere used topublicize manyAmerican holi-days
includingThanksgiving,Christmas andMothers Day.They werealso
repro-duced onChristmas dards, tiles and fabrics in America. At the
age of 100,she illustrated Twas the Night before Christmas by
ClementMoore.

Halloween is fun because you use your imagination, create a
cos-tume and trick or treat! Thats all good, but safety has to play
an im-portant role on Halloween Trick or Treat time. Here are a few
tipsto help.
Pumpkin Safety Tips Decorate your pumpkin with markers or paint.
Leave the carvingto the adults. Use candles carefully. Candle lit
pumpkins need to be away fromanything flammable like curtains.
Never leave them unattended orbetter yet - use flashlights or
battery operated flameless candles.
Home Front Tips Clean up and put away anything that a trick or
treater could tripover. Turn the lights on. Control your pets. Take
no chances that the family pet may getfrightened or bite someone.
Consider sugar substitutes like stickers, pencils, rubber
insects,etc.
Costume Safety Tips Create a costume that is bright in color.
Trick or treating is tradi-tionally held during the evening so your
costume needs to be seenby both pedestrians and vehicles. A good
idea is to use reflectivematerials or tape attached to your childs
costume and trick or treatbag. A flame retardent costume is also a
good idea. Make sure thecostume fits well, including the shoes and
you have plenty of roomto dress warmly. A mask can obstruct your
vision - make sure it fits and you cansee. How about make-up
instead? Test costume makeup on asmall area of skin to make sure
you are not allergic to it. Any weapons or props should look and
feel harmless and bebrightly colored. Make sure they are bendable
and do not have anypointed ends.
Trick-or-Treating Safety Tips Never go into a strangers house
and only accept treats in thedoorway. When you are trick or
treating, make sure your parents or a re-
sponsible adult is with you at all times. Never trick or
treatalone. Be careful when you cross a street. Look in all
directionsand make sure there is not a car coming. If you are
withyounger children, take their hand and help them cross. Crossthe
street at the corner or at a crosswalk. Do not cut throughback
alleys or fields. Do not get into a strangers car. Plan your entire
route a head of time. Be sure to say thank you for your treats. Be
careful walking near lit pumpkins or luminaries. Only go to houses
where the lights are on. Walk on sidewalks or driveways. Make sure
someone has a cellular phone in case of emer-gency. Carry a
flashlight or glow stick to make you more visible. Go out trick or
treating only during specified times for yourneighborhood. Have
your parents check your candy BEFORE you eat itwhen you get home.
Keep only the treats that are unopenedwith wrappers that arent torn
or have holes in them. After youeat candy, dont forget to brush
your teeth!
Halloween can be so much fun, so be safe this year and havea
wonderful time.

Warren G. Harding29th President of the United States
1921-1923
Warren G. Harding was born on November 2, 1865 in Corsica,
Ohio.Both of his parents were doctors. He grew up on a farm and
went toa small local school. At age 15, he attended Ohio Central
Collegeand graduated in 1882. Before even buying his first
newspaper busi-ness, he was a teacher, an insurance salesman and a
newspaper re-porter.
On July 8, 1891, he married Florence DeWolfe. She was a
divorceethat was five years older than Warren Harding. She had a
son, Mar-shall. They were said to compliment each other with
Hardings friendlypersonality and Florences no nonsense approach to
life.
The newspaper Warren Harding purchased was called the
MarionStar. This paper became a favorite with Ohio politicians of
both par-ties because of Hardings reporting. Florence had strong
businesssense and helped him turn the newspaper into a profitable
business.
In 1899, he was elected an Ohio State Senator, then a
LieutenantGovernor and next a U.S. Senator from Ohio in 1914. He
served until1921 when he became President. He ran as the Republican
candi-date with Calvin Coolidge and won the election.
History hasnt served President Harding well. He rarely took a
firmstand on an issue. He appointed some capable men to his cabinet
likeHerbert Hoover, Andrew Mellon and Charles Hughes, but he also
sur-rounded himself with old friends in powerful positions. Those
men be-came known as the Ohio gang. Many of these men were
chargedwith defrauding the government. Harding himself, was never
linked toanything crooked. Upset by the talk of corruption among
thesefriends, he and his wife Florence, organized a tour of the
Westernstates and Alaska. This was an attempt to meet people and
explainhis policies.
After becoming ill with food poisoning, Harding had a heart
attackand died. His early death probably saved him from impeachment
overthe many scandals of his administration.
The most significant scandal was that of Teapot Dome.
Secretaryof the Interior, Albert Fall, secretly sold the right to
oil reserves inTeapot Dome, Wyoming to a private company in
exchange for$308,000 and some cattle. He also sold the rights to
other national oilreserves. He was caught and ended up being
sentenced to one yearin jail. In addition in 1921, President
Harding refused U.S. admittance
to the League of Nations.
President Harding Trivia: He was the first President to ride to
his inauguration in an automobile. President Harding was the first
President to visit both Alaska andCanada. He was the first
President to give a speech over the radio.

as high as the Alps, the Carpathian Mountains extendover 600 miles
in Romania, in the shape of an arch. They are dividedinto three
major ranges: the Eastern (Oriental) Carpathians, the South-ern
Carpathians (also known as the Transylvanian Alps), and the
West-ern Carpathians. Each of these mountain ranges feature a
variety oflandscapes, due to the different types of terrain. The
Danube River ends its journey of almost 1864 miles through Eu-rope
in south-eastern Romania. Here the river divides into 3
frayedbranches (Chilia, Sulina, Sfntu Gheorghe) forming the Danube
Delta.It is the newest land in the country, with beaches expanding
almost 65feet into the sea every year. Overall, the delta is a
triangular swampyarea of marshes, floating reed islands and
sandbanks. It is a protectedwetland and natural habitat for rare
species of plants and animals. Romania has a temperate climate,
similar to the northeastern UnitedStates, with four distinct
seasons. Romanian Nadia Comaneci, Olympic champion gymnast, was the
firstin the world to score a perfect 10. Timisoara was the first
European city to introduce horse-drawn trams(in 1869) and
electrical street lighting (in 1889). Hollywoods original Tarzan,
Johnny Weissmuller, was born in the cityof Timisoara, Romania.
