HEART ATTACK FACTS • 37% of all deaths in the United States are related to heart disease, making it the largest single cause of natural death. Heart disease kills twice as many people as all forms of cancer combined. The major causes are smoking, fatty diet, high blood pressure, obesity, stress, heredity, lack of exercise, and diabetes. It is an illness produced of man's environment. Before 1900, heart attacks were very rare. The rate of heart disease increased so sharply between 1940 and 1967 that the World Health Organization called it the world’s most serious epidemic. • Every single cell in the heart is guided by an electrical impulse which synchronizes the heartbeat so all muscle cells contract in unison to pump the blood. During a heart attack, the cells begin firing out of turn so the efficiency of the heart is lost and the blood does not get pumped. When doctors shock the heart, the shock overrides each cell’s individual firing mechanism and once again synchronizes every cell, hopefully getting them all to work together again.

CLOCKS
Tick-tock goes the clock, goes the old nursery rhyme. Consider these facts about the history of various types of time-keeping devices. • The word “clock” has its origins in the French word “cloche,” meaning “bell.” In German, the word is “glocke,” and Latin is “glocio.” • In 1330, the octagonal bell tower of the San Gottardo Church in Milan, Italy, featured the first public clock. It was one of the first recorded clocks that struck the hours. • Clocks became more accurate in 1656 with the invention of the pendulum. The weight on the pendulum swung back and forth steadily, and a clockmaker invented a device to count the swings and drive the clock’s hands. • In 1755, Vacheron & Constantin, the first watch-manufacturing firm, was established in Switzerland, and it has remained in business continuously for 260 years. In 2005, the company manufactured a complex wristwatch for its 250th anniversary that was 18-carat gold with blue sapphire glass. Containing 834 individual parts, only seven Tour de I’lle watches were made, carrying a price tag of $1.54 million. • Levi Hutchins of Concord, New Hampshire, is credited with the first mechanical alarm clock in 1787. His clock did have one serious drawback – it could only ring at 4:00 AM! A mechanical wind-up alarm clock that could be set for any time was patented by a familiar name, Seth Thomas, in 1876. The Seth Thomas Company began producing clocks in 1813, and that brand can still be purchased today.
