We want to thank Ted Breihan for sponsoring Abby Bostick, a speech pathologist who brought us a great deal of information about what to do in case you have troubling swallowing, or being able to speak without having difficulty in getting the words out.
She covered a wide range of 'what if's, for example having trouble with eating or drinking easily and without coughing, or speaking clearly or loud enough, or remembering how to write or spell, or staying focused without getting distracted, or remembering what you'be done, seen or heard, or getting or staying organized. These were just a few areas of concern. She was very positive in her delivery by saying that feeling this way doesn't have to stay that way...what she does can help improve our condition. It was very worthwhile listening to her.
The Program coming up this coming Thursday, July 18th, 2019
Gary Nelson will be bringing us new information regarding what is developing progress being made in Health Care today. He is going to touch on several categories in health issues that will affect all of us.
He will be talk about what is happening in the area of providers, what is going on within the hospital itself as well as in clinics. As we have learned from Gary in past discussions, the field of medicine and medical care is constantly changing, so let's have a good showing this coming Thursday and learn from one who knows how health care affects people today.
From July 12th - July 18
July 12, 1943 - - During World War II, in the Battle of Kursk, the largest tank battle in history took place outside the small village of Prohorovka, Russia. About nine hundred Russian tanks attacked an equal number of German tanks fighting at close range. When Hitler ordered a cease fire, 300 German tanks remained strewn over the battlefield.
July 13, 1787 - - Congress enacted the Northwest Ordinance establishing formal procedures for transforming territories into states. It provided for the eventual establishment of three to five states in the area north of the Ohio River,to be considered equal with the original 13. The Ordinance included a Bill of Rights that guaranteed freedom of religion, the right to trial by jury, public education and a ban on slavery in the Northwest.
July 14, 1791 - - In England, the Birmingham riot occurred on the second anniversary of the fall of the Bastille. Mob rule lasted for three days, targeting controversial scientist and theologian Joseph Priestly's home and laboratory as well as the homes of his friends. Priestly, who had expressed support for the American and French revolutions, fled to London with his family and later moved to America.
Have You Ever Heard the Phrase, "To Give the Air to a person"
"To tie the can to; to fire; to dismiss; to discharge from employment; literally, to put of doors. A British counterpart of his modern American slang is 'to give one the sack.' The expression also has a negative meaning in the language of love. When Joan gives the air to John, she terminates a courtship by giving John to understand definitely and unmistakably that his attentions are unwanted, or she breaks off an acquaintance before John can begin to get romantic notions."
Accident, Maryland
"This town got its name in the mid-eighteenth century. King George of England granted a man named George Deakins about 600 acres of land in payment of a debt. Deakins sent his own group of surveyors to select the best land they could. Coincidentally, King George sent his surveyors to the same piece of land. Deakins named it the 'Accidental Tract,' which is now called Accident"
"The Sales manager was complaining to a colleague about one of his salesmen. 'George is so forgetful that it's a wonder he can sell anything. I asked him to pick up some sandwiches on his way back from lunch, but I'm not sure he'll even remember to come back.'
Just then, the door flew open and in came George. 'You'll never guess what happened!' he shouted. 'At lunch, I met Fred Brown, the president of a Fortune 500 company. He hadn't bought anything from us in 10 years. Well we got to talking, and he gave me an order worth 15 million dollars!'
'See?' said the sales manager. 'I told you he'd forget the sandwiches."'
History of the Arizona State Flag
"The top half consists of thirteen alternating yellow and red rays which represent America's thirteen original colonies. Because Arizona is a western state, the rays show a setting sun. The colors of the rays refer to yellow and red in the Spanish flags carried by Coronado when he came to Arizona in the sixteenth century. The bottom half of the flag is a solid blue field. The same color as the blue in the United States of America flag. A large copper colored star is superimposed in the center of the flag.

Here's Some more 'Myth Information"
....."Every school child learns that the Boston Tea Party was a protest by colonial Americans against taxes on imported British tea. However this is incorrect. The truth is, the price of tea was actually lowered by the British, and the colonists reacted by dumping some of it into the Boston Harbor.
Under the Townshend Act, many goods brought into the colonies were heavily taxed by the British. To appease the disgruntled Americans, these tariffs were repealed, with the exception of tea. However, Americans were generally unconcerned by this event since most of their tea supply came from less expensive, smuggled Dutch tea, much of it by John Hancock.
As a result, British tea manufacturers accumulated seventeen million pounds of surplus tea. In an attempt to sell it, the Tea Act was passed by Parliament, eliminating all duties on British tea and pricing it below the cost of smuggled Dutch tea.
To demonstrate their resistance to British interference in what was increasingly seen as an American, and not British, economy, the colonists refused to allow the unloading of the cheaper tea. On December 16, 1773, about sixty men dressed as Indians, with several thousand onlookers, dumped the cargo of cheap tea from three British ships into Boston Harbor in what became known as the Boston Tea Party."Myth Information" by J.Allen Varasdi.)
