Heart attack - Heart attack A heart attack is a colloquial term referring to a serious, sudden heart condition that presents as varying degrees of chest pain, weakness, sweating, nausea and vomiting, sometimes causing loss of consciousness. A heart attack is a medical emergency. The medical term for a heart attack is acute myocardial infarction, often abbreviated as AMI or MI. "Acute" means sudden, "myo" refers to muscle, and "cardium" refers to the heart, i.e. to the heart muscle (myocardium). "Infarction" is a medical term describing tissue death (necrosis) caused by an obstruction of blood flow. Causes The underlying mechanism of a heart attack is the destruction of heart muscle cells due to a lack of oxygen. If these cells are not supplied with sufficient oxygen by the coronary.
Ischaemic heart disease - Ischaemic heart disease Ischaemic heart disease is a disease characterized by reduced blood supply to the heart. It is the most common cause of death in most western countries. Ischaemia means a "reduced blood supply". The coronary arteries supply blood to the heart muscle and no alternative blood supply exists, so a blockage in the coronary arteries reduces the supply of blood to heart muscle. Most ischaemic heart disease is caused by atherosclerosis. What is it? Initially there is narrowing of coronary arteries causing angina. The narrowing is mostly caused by fatty plaques lining the wall of the artery. Sometimes a fatty plaque will rupture leading to a heart attack. (Heart attacks caused by simple narrowing are relatively uncommon). A heart attack causes damage to heart muscle.
Heart - Heart The heart (Latin, cor) is a hollow, muscular organ that pumps blood through the vessels and cavities of an animal's body by repeated, rhythmic contractions.

Kim Jong Il was given senior posts in the Politburo, the Military Commission and the Party Secretariat. Kim Il-sung's unique style of Stalinism, suffused with the isolationist Korean Juche philosophy (roughly translated as "self reliance"), relies on an elaborate personality cult.

Konrad Zuse - company, Zuse Apparatebau, to manufacture his programmable machines. Satisfied with the function of the basic Z2 machine, he built the Z3 in 1941. It was a binary calculator featuring limited programmability, with memory and a calculation unit based on telephone relays. Calculations could be specified in advance. Conditional jumps and loops were not available as convenient instructions, but the Z3 was a Turing-complete computer (ignoring the fact that no physical computer can be truly Turing complete due to limited storage size). However, its Turing-completeness was never envisioned by Zuse and only proven in 1998. (See History of computing hardware) Zuse's company was destroyed in 1945 by an Allied attack, together with the Z3. The partially finished, relay-based Z4 had been brought to a safe place earlier. Zuse also developed the first.
Kol Nidre - original wording oof Kol Nidre so as to make it apply to the future instead of the past; that is, to vows that one might not be able to fufill during the next year." Origin The tendency to make vows to God was strong in ancient Israel; the Torah found it necessary to protest against the excessive estimate of the religious value of such obligations. "When you make any vow to the Lord your God, you must pay it without delay...If you refrain from making a vow, that is no sin for you; but you must be careful to perform any promise you have made with your lips." (Deut. 23:22) Rash vows to God that for whatever reason were not fulfilled created painful religious and ethical difficulties for those who had.
Korean Buddhism - termed as "five doctrinal schools and nine mountain (Seon) schools (ogyo gusan)." But the status of this nomenclature would begin to change during the Goryeo, and would, in the Joseon, be eventually eliminated. The earliest extant scholarly historical review, done by Uicheon lists the original Goryeo schools passed down from the Silla as six: Gyeyul, Yeolban, Beopseong, Weonyung and Seon. These continued into the Goryeo, renamed as follows: the Gyeyul school of the Silla was known in the Goryeo as Namsang jong : the Yeolban school was termed Siheung jong, the Beopseong was termed Chungdo jong (); the Beopsang as Jaeun jong and the Weonyung as Hwaeom jong. Seon was originally counted as an additional, sixth school, but later on, after Uicheon, Cheontae would be recognized as another Seon school, resulting.
Kristen Nygaard - Oslo, and died on Saturday August 10, 2002, after suffering a heart attack. Internationally he is acknowledged as the co-inventor of object-oriented programming and the programming language Simula with Ole-Johan Dahl in the 1960s. The computer systems that form the foundation of the modern information society are among the most complex things humans have created. Through his ground-breaking research Nygaard made it possible to manage that complexity. Nygaard got his master's degree in mathematics at the University of Oslo in 1956. His thesis on abstract probability theory was entitled "Theoretical Aspects of Monte Carlo Methods". Nygaard worked full time at the Norwegian Defense Research Establishment from 1948 to 1960 - in computing and programming (1948-1954) and operational research (1952-1960). From 1957 to 1960 he was head of the first operations research.

Jack Dunn - by huge margins. Dunn's team was regarded as the equal of many major league teams, and he kept them so by refusing to trade or sell players to the majors. It wasn't until the 1925 off-season, when the other, struggling teams in the league made an agreement with the majors on a set price for transferring players, that Dunn finally relented and began selling his stars for money. His team won one more league title in 1925 and then dropped back into the pack.
