One sure sign of the fall season is the sight of scarecrows everywhere. Scarecrows are used for practical reasons by farmers, and as decorations by many people. You can find scarecrows on farms and in yards, and also on T-shirts, sweatshirts, and other clothing.
Scarecrows were first used over 2000 years ago by farmers who needed to keep birds out of their fields. Crows and blackbirds were always eating the vegetable crops grown by farmers. The farmers had to do something to stop the crows from coming into the fields. They made these human-like objects out of anything they could find. They used sticks, hay, and pine straw, and dressed the scarecrows in old clothing. The farmers tried their best to make these creations look like real people in a field or garden. They hoped that the crows would see the "person" standing in the field and be afraid of it.
Scarecrows are still seen today, but most farmers use other things now to get rid of pesky animals. Scar

What if you were having a heart attack, but no one believed you A new study of 515 female heart-attack survivors (aged 29 to 97) reveals that this happens all too often.
In the study, 95% said they knew something was seriously wrong a month or more before their heart attack, but none of their doctors had even told them that they had heart disease. And when their heart attack happened, fewer than 30% had chest pain or discomfort, the classic warning signs that most emergency room physicians and nurses look for.
One study volunteer in her mid-30s had a heart attack while driving her children to school. "She had repeatedly sought help for early warning symptoms," says study author Jean McSweeney of the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Despite abnormal cardiac stress test results, she got no treatment. Two weeks later, she nearly died.
