TIDBITS® BRINGS YOU THIS WEEK IN HISTORY

by Kathy Wolfe From science to medicine to politics to music – Tidbits makes you aware of the events that occurred this week in history.

• On November 29, 1947, the United Nations met to vote on a crucial issue, that of whether to partition the British-controlled territory of Palestine into two states, one for Jews and one for Arabs. The area had been under British control since 1917. Needing a two-thirds majority for passage, the U.N. General Assembly passed the resolution with 72%, with all Arab nations voting against the creation of Israel. The day after the vote, violence erupted into what became the 1947-48 Civil War between Jews and Arabs.

In May, 1948, the state of Israel was formed.

• The world lost a famous daredevil on November 30, 2007, with the passing of motorcyclist Evel Knievel. The Butte, Montana native suffered more than 430 broken bones over the course of his career. His record of jumping 19 cars on his cycle lasted for 27 years, his record of jumping over stacked cars endured for 35 years, and his jump over 14 Greyhound buses was on the books for 24 years.

Can Heart Surgery Cause Hot Flashes?

--DEAR DR. ROACH: I have had hot flashes, similar to those experienced by post-menopausal women, ever since my coronary bypass in 1990. I can be sitting quietly in a chair reading or at my computer, and suddenly I find myself dripping with perspiration. I also have had panic attacks, with increased heart rate and other physical symptoms. A few years ago, a 24-hour EKG showed heart-rhythm irregularities and that my heart stopped briefly while asleep.

If these idiosyncrasies of my autonomic nervous system are a consequence of my time on the heart-lung machine for the bypass, I’m not complaining -- just curious. You said that studies have been done on almost everything. Is this one? -- W.S.B. ANSWER: I found that a lot of people complain of similar symptoms. I also found that, indeed, the autonomic nervous system (the part of the nervous system that regulates temperature, sweat, blood pressure and many other critical aspects of body function without our being consciously aware of it) can be adversely affected by cardiac surgery. Some authors have suggested that the autonomic nervous system changes are one mechanism by which people are more likely to have depression after cardiac surgery. I found several possible explanations why the ANS changes with bypass surgery, but no clear consensus.

I would want to be sure that there are no other causes of these symptoms. It sounds like you have had an extensive evaluation, but I certainly would be concerned about a sudden fast heart rhythm, such as atrial fibrillation.

The booklet on abnormal heart rhythms explains atrial fibrillation and the more common heart rhythm disturbances in greater detail. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Roach -- No. 107W, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6. Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: Can you explain the condition known as “stone shoulder”? I am a man, 67 years old, and I believe I have it. I spent 45 years as a TV news photographer, handling heavy cameras, tripods, etc. -- B.J. ANSWER: “Stone shoulder” is a new one for me. Maybe you mean frozen shoulder, a condition also called “adhesive capsulitis.” It’s not a strictly accurate term, since the loss of movement the name implies is gradual.

It starts with shoulder pain, often worse at night, lasting for months. Stiffness develops, and then the loss of shoulder movement can be severe. A careful physical exam by a regular doctor, a rheumatologist or sports medicine doctor, or an orthopedic surgeon can make the diagnosis. Often, the doctor will inject a steroid and anesthetic into the shoulder: The pain relief and improved movement within a minute make the diagnosis. I refer patients to physical therapy for a gradually increasing exercise regimen. Sometimes, additional injections are necessary.

In your case, I would worry about a rotator cuff tear or inflammation, which you also might have acquired while doing your job. A careful exam usually can distinguish these. Occasionally, an MRI is required. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

THIS WEEK IN HISTORY (continued): • On November 30, 1954, as a Sylacauga, Alabama woman lay sleeping on her couch, a meteorite crashed through her roof, bounced off a radio, and struck her, the first modern record of such an occurrence. Measuring about 8 inches (20.3 cm) in diameter and weighing about 9 lbs. (4.1 kg), the sulfide space rock did not permanently injure Mrs. Hulett Hodges, but it did leave a 3-ft. (0.9 m) hole in her roof.

• Rosa Parks made history when she stepped onto a Montgomery, Alabama bus on December 1, 1955. Headed for home from her job at a local department store Rosa took a seat in the 11th row of the bus, the first row of the section reserved for blacks. As the bus filled up, three whites were left standing. The driver demanded that four black people give up their seats. Three black men moved, but Rosa refused to surrender her place. Although she had not technically broken any law, she was arrested for violating city code and for disorderly conduct.

Within four days, a boycott of the city’s buses was in place, led by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Because 75% of bus customers were black, the finances of the public bus companies plunged. Yet it still took 381 days for an agreement to be reached on the end of segregation.

• The Ford Motor Company dramatically shortened the time it took to assemble an automobile when they launched 14 a continuous-moving assembly line on December 1, 1913.

THIS WEEK IN HISTORY (continued): • On the first day of December in 1959, representatives from 12 countries signed the Antarctica Treaty, an agreement that banned any military activity and weapon testing on that frozen continent.

The pact decreed that all personnel and equipment may only be for scientific research or other peaceful purposes. Prior to that, several nations, including Great Britain, Australia, Chile, and Norway, had laid claim to parts of Antarctica.

• “I Want to Hold Your Hand” was released by the Beatles on December 1, 1963, quickly hitting the top of the charts in America and the U.K. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame lists the song as one of history’s 500 songs that shaped rock and roll. It’s also ranked as the 45th best song of all time.

• The New York Municipal Airport opened on the waterfront of Flushing Bay in Queens on December 2, 1939.

The site was originally an amusement park owned by the Steinway Pianos family, and became a private airfield in 1929. New York City shelled out $23 million to change the field into a modern airport. In 1953, the name was changed to LaGuardia Airport, honoring Fiorello LaGuardia, major of the city from 1934 to 1945, who had come up with the idea of the new facility.

• The first Burger King opened its doors in Miami, Florida on December 4, 1954, first known as Insta-Burger King. They added The Whopper in 1957. More than 11 million folks eat at a Burger King somewhere in the world every day. With more than 13,000 locations in 79 countries, they are the world’s third largest hamburger chain. In case you’re counting calories, a Burger King cheeseburger has 360. A slice of cheddar cheese adds about 113 calories to an ordinary burger.

• This week was an important one in the history of heart surgeries. On December 3, 1967, Dr. Christiaan Barnard performed the first human heart transplant in Cape Town, South Africa. Dr. Barnard removed the heart of a 25-year-old woman killed in an auto accident and placed it in the chest of 55-year-old Louis Washkansky, who was dying of heart damage. For 18 days, the transplanted heart functioned normally; however, the anti-rejection drugs Washkansky was given left him susceptible to illness. Her perished from double pneumonia on December 21. Fifteen years later, during the same week, Dr. William DeVries implanted the first permanent artificial heart, designed by Dr. Robert Jarvik, in Seattle dentist Barney Clark. Mr. Clark survived 112 days with the device.

• On December 5, 1945, five U.S. Navy torpedo bombers departed from the Ft. Lauderdale Naval Air Station for a three-hour training mission over the Atlantic. The five aircraft carrying a total of 14 men were known as Flight 19 and were scheduled to fly east for 120 miles (193 km), north for 73 miles (118 km), then back another 120 miles (193 km) to the base. Two hours into the flight, the squadron leader radioed that his compass had failed and that he did not know his position. The other planes reported similar malfunctions. A search and rescue plane carrying 13 men took off five hours after Flight 19. A massive air and sea search was launched to comb the area now known as the Bermuda Triangle, a stretch of sea from the southern U.S. coast across to Bermuda and down to Cuba and Santo Domingo. No trace of the six planes was ever found and 27 men were lost. The Navy’s final report of the incident listed the cause of the disappearances as “Reasons Unknown.”

B-I-N-G-O !

December has the distinction of being Bingo’s Birthday Month. Take a look to see what you may not know about one of the world’s favorite games.

• The game of Bingo has its origins in Italy, clear back in 1530, when a game called Lo Guioco del Lotto D’Italia, which resembles present-day Bingo was played. This early lottery-type game is still played every Saturday in Italy. The game spread to France in the 1770s and Germany in the 1800s.

• Bingo came to North America in 1929, and was originally called Beano because the squares on the playing card were covered with beans. Players used pieces of cardboard or paper with a grid of numbered squares. It was first played at an Atlanta, Georgia carnival. Numbered disks were drawn from a cigar box and beans were placed on the appropriate square.

• About that time, a New York toy salesman named Edwin Lowe was playing and when a player mistakenly yelled “Bingo!” instead of “Beano!” he had a brainstorm. Lowe hired a math professor from Columbia University to help him expand the game by increasing the number of combinations on a card. The professor came up with 6,000 different cards. Lowe changed the name to Bingo and launched his creation. The cigar box was replaced with a wire mesh cage with a handle that twirled the balls inside.

• In the early 1930s, a Pennsylvania Catholic priest thought that Bingo might be a good way to raise funds for the church, and that practice began. By 1934, about 10,000 Bingo games were being played weekly across the country. (continued on last page)

Helping Pets in Need --DEAR PAW’S CORNER: As the holiday season swings into full gear, many people may be looking to do something more enriching than just shopping for gifts and getting things we don’t really need. Please encourage your readers to consider donating to their local shelter or offering some of their time as volunteers to help pets during the holidays and year-round. -- Avid Volunteer in Virginia DEAR AVID: You told them, and I thank you! The holidays can be a very hectic time for many people. But finding time to volunteer at your local shelter, or helping to host a fundraising or pet-supplies drive, can be an enriching experience and a break from shopping and planning for holiday events.

While some local shelters don’t have a formal volunteer program, many do. The first step is to contact the shelter or visit its website to find out if it accept volunteers, what jobs they’re expected to do, and how to apply. If you have children who are interested in volunteering, find out the minimum age and what kids can do if they’re too young to volunteer.

For example, the adoption center at Boston’s MSPCA Angell center requires a six-month commitment of two hours per week from volunteers, who handle a variety of tasks from cleaning habitats to feeding the animals, walking dogs, socializing with smaller animals, or interacting with visitors. That’s quite a commitment, but the volunteer program often is completely filled each year.

Single-day or weekend volunteer activities also may be available, often as group events. These are a great way to get familiar with being a shelter volunteer.

NOTEWORTHY INVENTORS: CHARLES BRANNOCK “If the shoe fits, wear it.” That phrase could have been the inspiration for Charles Brannock’s famous 1926 invention. Follow along and learn about the invention of the shoe-measuring device.

• Charles Brannock was raised in the shoe business. In 1903, when he was three years old, his father Otis Brannock and Ernest Park founded the Park-Brannock Shoe Company in downtown Syracuse, New York. The company continually expanded, offering a wide selection of all shoes, handbags, hats, hose, and accessories. Charles worked as a salesman while attending Syracuse University.

• Dissatisfied with the shoe size-sticks known as RITZ sticks, an industry standard, Brannock began tinkering with an improved foot-measuring device. While the sticks measured only the foot’s length, Brannock’s sketches and calculations represented an apparatus that would measure length, width, and distance from the heel to the ball of the foot to determine arch length. His prototype was built from an Erector set.

• The Brannock Device improved accuracy to about 96%. It began with a man’s size 1 measurement of 7 2/3 inches (19.5 cm), with each additional size adding 1/3 inch ((0.84 cm). Each width was separated by 3/16 inch (0.48 cm). The widths were divided into nine sizes, AAA, AA, A, B, C, D, E, EE, and EEE. There were also two knobs for adjusting the fit for the curve of the heel, along with a sliding bar for adjusting for thin feet and wide feet. The device remains much the same today, with very little change.

• Brannock assembled the device right in the family shoe store, and its trials were conducted there, where it was used exclusively. Park-Brannock was the only store in town to measure feet so accurately. At age 25, Brannock obtained a patent, established the Brannock Device Company, and began sales of the apparatus to other shoe retailers. He then hired salesmen throughout the country. By 1929, the device was being sold internationally.

• In 1933, a U.S. Navy captain was looking into why so many sailors had problems with their feet, and asked a shoe salesman for his advice. The salesman measured the sailors’ feet with a Brannock device, and informed the captain that the only problem was ill-fitting shoes. That captain wrote an article about this simple solution in the July, 1933 issue of United States Naval Institute Proceedings. Brannock seized the opportunity to expand his business by forwarding the article, first to other naval ships, then on to other branches of the military. By World War II, his device was in use by most of the armed forces.

• Following the death of his father in 1962, Brannock added to his own manufacturing company work load by becoming CEO of Park-Brannock Shoes. He continued to come to the office of Brannock Devices on a daily basis well into his 80s. When his health began to fail, he thought about selling the business, but many prospective buyers wanted to change the device to a plastic material. To Brannock, this was a non-negotiable point, and he insisted that the devices be manufactured from steel.

• Brannock passed away in 1993 at age 89.

The company was purchased from his estate

by Sal Leonardi, who has maintained the business just as Brannock would have wanted it.

SALOME’S STARS --ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might feel that you have all the answers right now. But it might be wise to listen to other ideas before you decide to close the lid on other possibilities.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Bovines give and expect loyalty, so it might not be easy to reconcile with someone you feel let you down. Why not ask a neutral party to set up a clear-the-air meeting?

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Anticipating the holidays with family and friends fuels your must-do Gemini energies. But try to pace yourself so you’ll be up for whatever comes along later.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) More background information might come through regarding a decision you expect to make. Be sure to check the source carefully before you move.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) The strong, nurturing nature of the Lion comes through this week as you reach out to family and friends in need of your warm and loving support.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A relationship that has almost totally unraveled could be close to being restored with more effort on your part to be more patient and less judgmental.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your sense of fair play is strong this week, which can cause a problem with a longtime relationship. But in the end, you’ll know what decision to make.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You might not know all the facts behind an unwelcome development, so keep that Scorpion temper in check and resist lashing out at anyone.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) This is a good time to reinforce relationships -- family, friends, colleagues -- that might have been overlooked in recent years.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Family situations continue to thrive.

Business associations also improve. Some holiday plans might have to be shifted a bit. Be flexible.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Avoid any influence of negative energy in this week’s aspect by not allowing small problems to grow into large ones. Work them out immediately.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A friend might need advice on how to deal with a challenge to his or her moral values. And who better than you to give the honest answer? Good luck.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have a sense of adventure that inspires others to follow your lead. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

B-I-N-G-O- ! (continued): • The most common Bingo cards have 25 squares in a five row by five row configuration. The squares contain numbers from 1 to 75, with the center square a “Free” space, considered automatically filled. The letters of the word BINGO head up each of the five columns. The “B” column contains numbers from 1 to 15, “I” has 16 to 30, “N” has 31 to 45, and the numbers 61 to 75 are listed in the “O” column.

• There are several ways to achieve a Bingo. The most common is, of course, to fill a line vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. Also popular is “Four Corners,” which requires a player to cover the game card’s four corners. The “Roving L” pattern requires the entire “B” column to be covered along with the top or bottom row, or the entire “O” column and the top or bottom row, forming an “L.” The Cross pattern forms a center cross on the card. And, of course, covering all the squares on a card is called a “blackout.”

• The “bubble” refers to the minimum number of balls necessary to complete a Bingo pattern, the earliest point a player could have a valid Bingo. If a player achieves a “Hard-Way Bingo,” the bingo is a straight line without using the Free space in the middle.

• What about when a player calls out “Bingo!” but is actually mistaken? There are several names given to this blunder – “falsie,” “just practicing,” “social error,” or “bongo.”

• It’s estimated that people spend more than $90 million dollars each week playing bingo in North America alone.
