Your Muscular System


The muscular system ismade up of tissues that workwith the skeletal system tocontrol movement of thebody. Without muscles, youcouldn’t 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!

Everyone’s body weight isabout 40% muscle. Thereare over 630 muscles that

help you move. Muscles can’t 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 don’t 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.

Bowling is one of the most popular sports around the world.There are many reasons for its popularity: • Children and adults of nearly every ability level and age can par-ticipate.• It can be enjoyed as a relaxing, fun exercise for many years.• Bowling can contribute to toning muscles, balance, coordinationand motor skills.• Bowling is considered a social activity.

Bowling Is A FunWay To Exercise!

The game is played by rolling a ball down the lane in an ef-fort to knock down all the pins stationed at the other end ofthe lane. Each person is allowed two attempts per frameto knock down the pins. One game consists of 10 frames.The person with the highest score knocking down the pins,is the winner.

Most bowling alleys offer rails or bumpers up on the sidesof some of their alleys for children.

Halloween is fun because you use your imagination, create a cos-tume and trick or treat! That’s 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 child’s 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 stranger’s 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 stranger’s 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 aren’t torn or have holes in them. After youeat candy, don’t forget to brush your teeth!

Halloween can be so much fun, so be safe this year and havea wonderful time.

“Trick Or Treat”Safely



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 1500’s. 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 wasn’t very popular and considered low sta-tus socially. But by the 1800’s, 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 wasn’t until the19th century that violin virtuosos emerged.

The Great LakesAnd Glaciers

Around a billion years ago, a fracture in the earth running from what isnow Oklahoma to Lake Superior generated volcanic activity. It almostsplit North America. Over 20 million years, lava from the fracture flowedin this area. It created mountains covering the regions now known asnorthern Wisconsin and Minnesota and the Laurentian Mountains wereformed in Eastern Canada. Occasional volcanic activity continued whilethese mountains eroded. Molten magma below the highlands of what is

now Lake Superior spewed out to itssides causing the highlands to sink andform a huge rock basin that would oneday hold Lake Superior. With time, thefracture stabilized and the rock tiltednorth to south.

This region went from fire to ice withthe arrival of the glaciers. In fact, if youwere to go back in time and visit Michi-gan 14,000 years ago, you would havefound the Great Lakes area covered in a

sheet of ice, called a glacier. These sheets averaged over one milethick. At rates of only a littleover a half foot per day, theglacier slowly made its wayacross the Great Lakes basin.It carved out deep valleys andmoved large amounts of soil.As the glacier melted andmoved towards Canada, it leftbehind a series of large holesthat filled with meltwater fromthe glacier. These formed thebasic shape of the GreatLakes. It wasn’t until around6,000 years ago that the lakestook their final shape we seetoday.

When the glaciers meltedand began receding, their lead-ing edges left behind highridges and rock formations.Some of these can be seentoday in the Cliffs of DoorCounty in Wisconsin and the“flowerpots” on Bruce Penin-sula in Ontario.

Crab Eating MacaqueIs Native To Singapore!

The Crab Eating Macaque is also commonly called the Long-tailed Macaque. Their scientific name is Macaca Fascicularis. Itis often referred to as the long-tailed macaque because its tail isusually about the same length as its body which distinguishes itfrom most other macaques. They are called crab-eatingmacaques because they are often seen foraging beaches forcrabs.

These monkeys are native to Singapore and are their most com-mon primate. They also are widespread throughout the islands ofsoutheast Asia and mainland Asia. Macaques are primarily abo-real which means they live in and move about in trees. They arefound today in primary and secondary forest areas, mangroves,swamps, plantations, and in the outskirts of towns and villages.

They prefer forested areasnear water and are foundin higher numbers nearriverbanks, lakeshores, oralong the seacoast.Macaques can leap dis-tances between trees toover 16 feet! They usetheir long tails for balance.

Macaques are social an-imals just like we are. Inthe wild, they live ingroups of 15 to 30 mon-keys. Each group, calleda “troop” is made up of adominant male known asthe alpha male and hisharem of female monkeys.The troop may include afew other male monkeysas well. Macaques spenda lot of time grooming

each other. Tothem, this is asocial activityfor developingfriendships.

These mon-key’s coats varyfrom light grey-brown to brownfur. They havea noisy, aggres-sive temper-ment. Thebody length ofthe adult mon-key is 15 to 22

inches with short arms and legs.The tail is usually longer than thebody at about 16 to 26 inches.Males are larger then females.Both males and females havewhite coloration on the eyelidsnear the nose. Macaques alsohave cheek pouches in whichthey can store food as they for-age, and transport it away fromthe foraging site to eat.

The macaque are frugivorous(froo-jiv-er-uhs) or fruit eating.During times of year when fruit isunavailable, they focus on in-sects, leaves, flowers, smallmammals and birds, shellfish andcrabs, as well as human left-overs.
