Coronary artery bypass surgery is a type of surgery that relieves chest pain, caused by lack of blood flow, and reduces the risk of death from heart disease.
It is also known as coronary artery bypass graft (CABG, pronounced "cabbage") surgery, and known by doctors as heart bypass or bypass surgery.
In this surgery, blood vessels from elsewhere in the patient's body are added to the heart vessels to go around blood vessels blocked by fat and get more blood into the heart so it can keep running.
This surgery usually happens with the heart stopped, which makes machines that act as lungs and heart needed.
However, it is possible to have the surgery with the heart still pumping, called "off-pump" surgery.
Puck is a character in a play called A Midsummer Night's Dream.
This play was written by William Shakespeare.
In this play, Puck is a servant to the Fairy King, Oberon.
Puck has some amazing abilities.
For example, he can travel around the world in 40 minutes.
In spite of his abilities, Puck makes a few mistakes in the play that create confusion for the other characters.
For example, he puts a love potion into the wrong person's eyes.
He also plays tricks.
He puts a donkey's head on one character.
Puck was not Shakespeare's invention.
He was a character in folklore called 'pouke'.
He was known as early as 1000 AD.
He was an evil, dangerous demon.
By the time of Geoffrey Chaucer, he had become linked with the Biblical devil.
By Shakespeare's day, he was known as Puck, Robin Goodfellow, and Hobgoblin.
He was a goblin who made mischief.
By the time of Shakespeare and other Elizabethan poets, Puck had become a combination of English folklore and English country life.
Shakespeare writes that Puck would frighten the village girls, ruin the butter, and lead travelers in the night the wrong way.
Mickey Rooney played Puck in a 1935 movie adaptation of Shakespeare's play.
Shakespeare used a description of Puck from Reginald Scot's The Discoverie of Witchcraft (1584).
Scot describes Puck with disapproval.
He points out that people no longer believe in him.
Scot also tells of a man whose head was replaced with the head of a donkey.
Shylock is a key character and the antagonist in Shakespeare's 1596 or 1597 play The Merchant of Venice.
He is a Jewish moneylender.
Shylock agrees to a bond with Antonio, the merchant of Venice.
This bond requires Antonio to give a pound of his flesh next his heart should the money not be repaid on a certain date.
When Antonio fails, Shylock goes to court to get the pound of flesh.
Antonio had previously insulted and spat on him in the Rialto (the commercial centre of Venice).
This helps to explain why Shylock demanded his pound of flesh.
Meanwhile, Shylock's daughter Jessica falls in love with Antonio's friend Lorenzo and converts to Christianity.
This adds to Shylock's rage.
Shylock fails in court, and Antonio is released.
Shylock is charged with attempted murder.
Shylock is then forced to give half of his properties to the country and the other half to Antonio and to convert to Christianity.
Shylock has a famous speech beginning "Hath not a Jew eyes?"
Famous actors who have played Shylock include Laurence Olivier.
In Shakespeare's time, no Jews had been legally present in England for several hundred years (since Edward I's Edict of Expulsion in 1290).
But the idea of Jews as money lenders remained from the Middle Ages.
Historically, money lending had been a fairly common occupation among Jews, perhaps because Christians were not allowed to practise usury.

Yeongwol County (Yeongwol-gun) is a county in Gangwon Province, South Korea.
It is well known as the place where King Danjong, the sixth king of Joseon Dynasty, was exiled to, when he was forced to abdicate by his uncle, who became Sejo of Joseon.
It is also where he is buried after he was murdered in 1457, because he was perceived to be a continuing threat to the rule of his uncle.
A tourist attraction in this area is the Yeongwol Insectarium (), a private insect museum.
It has a collection featuring a large quantity of insects from Korea and all around the world.
It was founded by Professor  Lee Dae-Am who is professional architect and an amateur entomologist, and was opened May 5, 2002.
The building had been a school unti Lee Dae-Am turned it into the insectarium.
The aim of the museum is to create interest in insects, and to educate people on the importance of bugs to the world ecological systems.
The Yeongwol insectarium has been recognized as one of the best visitor attractions.
It displays both living and dead insect collections, from butterflies to bees, dragonflies to grasshoppers.
The insect displays are divided by three sections in the Exhibition Room.
The display includes such specialities as Korean endangered species like the Baby-Dragonfly, the smallest dragonflies in the world, and the biggest and worldly rare beetle.

Only the four largest cities (Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Dundee) that have a Lord Provost.
The current Lord Provost of Dundee is Robert James "Bob" Duncan (born 1946).
Duncan took office on 21 May 2012.
The Mediaeval burgh of Dundee was administered by officials known as "Bailies", Provosts and the office of "Constable of Dundee".

Cynegils († 643) was the King of the Gewisse, although more commonly called the King of Wessex.
He ruled from 611 to 643.
Cynegils was a pagan king but under his rule Wessex started its conversion to Christianity.
Cynegils himself was baptized in 635.
Cynegils was the grandson of Cutha.
He was the son of Ceol of Wessex and probably the nephew of Ceolwulf.
He ruled jointly with his son Cwichelm.
The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle for the year 614 says Cynegils and Cwichelm fought together at a place named Beandun.
The account said they slew two thousand sixty-five Welsh.
This was a major victory for the West Saxons.
Cynegils had some setbacks however during the middle of his reign.
His son Cwichelm sent someone to try to kill King Edwin of Northumbria.
When Edwin attacked Wessex in retaliation five Kings of Wessex were killed.
The Northumbrian attack weakened the West Saxon army.
The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle for 628 says that Cyngils, king of Wessex, and Cwichelm his son 'fought with Penda at Cirencester and came to an agreement with him there'.
The 'agreement' seems to have been to give Cirencester to Penda.
So this was a defeat for Cynegils and his son Cwichelm and a permanent loss of Cirencester.
In 635 Cynegils was baptized by Birinus and King Oswald of Northumbria stood as his Godfather.
This may have been a condition of the marriage between Oswald and Cynegils's daughter, Cyneburh.
He gave Bishop Birinus the city of Dorchester and several churches so he could convert the pagans in Wessex.
The conversion took some time to complete and several kings who followed were either pagan or converted to Christianity later in their reigns.
Cwichelm, his son, ruling as either co-king or underking, died in 636.
From that time on Cynegils seems to have ruled Wessex by himself until his death in 643.
He was succeeded by his son Cenwalh.
Cynegils's reign marked the turning point for Wessex from bands of warriors to the beginnings of a united kingdom.
Cwichelm († 636), ruled with his father.
Cenwalh (†) 672), succeeded his father as King of Wessex.
Centwine, King of Wessex.
Cyneburh, in 635 married King Oswald of Northumbria.
Stingy Jack is a character in Irish folklore.
He was a poor, dirty man who was often drunk.
He outsmarted the devil at least three times.
He invited the devil to have a drink with him.
Jack did not want to pay for the drink.
He persuaded the devil to change himself into a coin.
The devil did so, and Jack put the coin in his pocket.
There was a silver cross in his pocket that made it impossible for the devil to return to his original shape.
Jack eventually allowed the devil to resume his shape, but only after he promised not to bother Jack for a whole year and to not try to claim his soul when he died.
On another occasion, Jack persuaded the devil to climb an apple tree to gather apples.
Jack quickly carved crosses into the trunk of the tree, making it impossible for the devil to come down.
Jack allowed the devil to come down, but only after he promised not to bother Jack for ten years and not to claim his soul when he died.
On the third occasion, Jack died before the ten-year time limit.
God did not want Jack in Heaven, so he was sent to Hell.
The devil could not claim his soul, so Jack was sent back into the world.
The devil gave him a glowing coal to light his way in the darkness.
Jack put the coal into a hollowed-out turnip.
He is said to still walk the earth with his lantern, and can be seen around All Saints Day November 1.
Jack became known as "Jack of the lantern".
This name was shortened to "Jack-o'-lantern".
In the United States, his lantern became a pumpkin rather than a turnip.
Pumpkins were common in the U.S. and easier to carve.
The story of Jack is little known, perhaps because he was an unsuitable role model for entertaining children.
James Riddle Hoffa (born February 14, 1913 – disappeared July 30, 1975, declared dead July 30, 1982) was an American labor union leader.
He was the President of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) union from 1958 until 1971.
He disappeared in late July 1975, aged 62.
Jimmy Hoffa was born in Brazil, Indiana, on February 14, 1913.
His family moved to Detroit in 1924.
Hoffa lived in the Detroit area for the rest of his life.
His first job was in a grocery store.
He worked under an abusive boss, which is what gave him the idea of working with labor unions.
Hoffa left his job in 1932 and was soon working for the Teamsters union.
This was mainly a union for truck drivers, though Hoffa never worked as a truck driver himself.
He helped grow and manage the union in the Detroit area.
In those years, the union was growing quickly.
The Teamsters union had always had links to organized crime, especially the American Mafia.
These links grew as the union grew.
As Hoffa became more important in the union, he began making agreements with the Mafia.
Hoffa became the head of the Detroit branch of the Teamsters union in 1946.
In 1952, he became vice president of the Teamsters Union.
In 1957, he then became its president.
He would be re-elected in 1961 and 1966.
Under Hoffa, the Teamsters Union continued to grow.
In 1964, he helped strike a contract that could cover all truck drivers in the United States.
However, both the Teamsters Union and Hoffa were facing investigation for their links to organized crime.
Soon after Hoffa became its president, this led to the Teamsters union being forced to leave the AFL-CIO (the main national organization of labor unions).
Hoffa was taken to jail in 1967 for fraud and jury tampering, and sentenced to 13 years.
His vice president Frank Fitzsimmons began to run the union instead.
In 1971, Fitzsimmons replaced Hoffa as president.
President of the United States Richard Nixon pardoned Hoffa in 1971, but in return, Hoffa could not work for a labor union again until 1980.
Despite this, Hoffa began planning to return to leading the Teamsters union.
However, he had many opponents, including some members of the Mafia who had once been his friends.
He was married to Josephine Poszywak from 1936 until his disappearance in 1975.
His daughter Barbara worked as a judge.
His son James P. Hoffa has been the leader of the Teamsters union since 1999.
Hoffa vanished on 30 July 1975.
He had gone to meet two members of the Mafia at a restaurant near Detroit.
He was last seen waiting for them in the restaurant's parking lot.
He was declared legally dead in 1982.
His disappearance gave rise to many theories as to what happened to him.
Most theories believe that Hoffa was lured away and murdered by his enemies in the Mafia, who then found a way to get rid of his body.
Examples of how this could have been done include taking it to a crematorium the Mafia owned or burying it in a hidden place.
James Buccellato, an expert on crime, says it is unlikely the body was moved a long distance.
Hoffa was portrayed by Robert Blake in the 1983 television movie Blood Feud, Trey Wilson in the 1985 television miniseries Robert Kennedy & His Times, and by Jack Nicholson in the 1992 movie Hoffa.
In the 1978 movie F.I.S.T., Sylvester Stallone portrays Johnny Kovak, a character based on Hoffa.
In 2019, Al Pacino played him in The Irishman.
The foreign relations of Bangladesh are the Bangladeshi government's policies in its relations with other countries.
Since independence in 1971, Bangladesh has officially followed a principle of being friendly with all nations and not being enemies with any.
As a member of the Non-Aligned Movement, Bangladesh has tended to not take sides with major powers.
Since the end of the Cold War, the country has pursued better relations with its neighbours.
It has strong relations with other Muslim countries.
It does not recognise Israel.
Myanmar is Bangladesh's eastern neighbour.
Bilateral ties with Myanmar are generally good, but some tensions exist between the two countries.
This is due to border disputes and the presence of over 270,000 Rohingya Muslim refugees in Bangladesh from mainly-Buddhist Myanmar.
As a result of bilateral discussions, and with the cooperation and assistance of the UNHCR, most of the Rohingya refugees have now returned to Burma.
As of 2000, about 22,000 refugees remain in camps in southern Bangladesh.
At the 2008 ASEAN Regional forum summit in Singapore, Bangladesh and Myanmar have pledged to solve their Maritime boundary disputes as quickly as possible especially that a UN deadline in claiming maritime territories will expire in three years time.
Both countries discussed the possibility of linking the two countries together in an attempt to boost their trade and commerce relations.
The estimate to complete the 25 km highway is three years and at the cost of $20 million.
Another aspect of this plan is to connect the highway to the Asian Superhighway which would connect the two countries to China.
The relations between the two are historical, because the English started their conquest of British India from present-day Bengal region of Bangladesh.
Today Bangladesh is in the Commonwealth since 1972 and the there is a sizeable Bengali-speakers within the community of Great Britain

That made it one of the club's most successful seasons.
With Korotan, he won the Slovenian Indoor Soccer All-Stars Competition.
With Dravograd, he became the runner-up of the 2003–04 Slovenian Football Cup.
He also worked with other coaches like Stanko Poklepović; he was his assistant coach at Celje before taking over the position of head coach.

The Gewisse Latin: Gewissæ) were a political group or band of Anglo-Saxons.
They originally settled in the upper Thames river valley area.
The Gewisse were the most powerful group in what would become the kingdom of Wessex.
The name 'Gewisse' comes from an Old English word for "reliable" or "sure", In the genealogy of King Alfred of Wessex, is a supposed ancestor of Cerdic named Gewis. (
also spelled Gwis).
The true origin of the name cannot be determined accurately.
the name was old in Bede's time.
Bede stated the original name for the West Saxons was the Gewisse.
The change in name from the Gewisse to the West Saxons seems to have taken place in the latter part of the 7th century.
The Gewisse, like the 'Cantwara' (Kent-men) and the 'Meonwara' of Hampshire were political units, not tribes.
In 577 the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle claims the kings of the Gewisse captured Cirencester, Bath and Gloucester.
The date is questionable but the Gewisse did hold those territories.
The Gewisse found themselves limited in their ability to expand into new territories by the growing power of Mercia.
The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle for 628 says that Cyngils and Cwichelm his son 'fought with Penda at Cirencester and came to an agreement with him there'.
The 'agreement' meant giving Cirencester to Penda.
It was a permanent loss of Cirencester.
By the second half of the 7th century Gewisse was expanding towards the Southwest and Devon.
At about the same time they lost territory in the Thames valley to Mercia.
The change in name to Wessex may have reflected more a change in their territory.
Bishop Birinus began converting the Gewisse to Christianity in 634, In 635 he baptized their king Cynegils who established Birinus at Dorchester.
But the Dorchester bishopric was never considered West Saxon by Bede.
He considered it to be Gewisse.
In 660 Cenwalh created a new diocese at Winchester and made Wine the first bishop.
Bede referred to the Winchester diocese as West Saxon.
At the time he was writing in the early 8th century, Bede treated the two names as interchangeable.
But when writing of the reign of Cynegils he referred to them as "anciently known as the Gewissae."

Ceolwulf († ) was the King of the Gewisse, also called the King of Wessex.
He ruled from  to 611.
Ceolwulf was the grandson of Cynric.
He succeeded his brother Ceol.
The first mention of him as king in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle was in 597.
He "continuously fought with success against the Angelcyn and Britons; Picts and Scots."
During this time the West Saxons controlled Berkshire and Wiltshire.
They also occupied parts of Somerset and Hampshire.
Historians question whether he could have attacked the Picts and Scots.
The Gewisse (West Saxons) were not known to range that far north into Scotland.
The Picts may have reached as far south as Chester.
But there is no record of Ceolwulf fighting in Chester.
The chronicle records he fought the South Saxons in 607.
The Jutes in the South of England would have acknowledged him as their overlord.
He would have been fighting against Pybba of Mercia.
Ceolwulf died in 611.
He was succeeded by Cynegils
Cynegils, an atheling who probably did not reign.

Titration is a type of quantitative chemical analysis.
It is used to work out the unknown concentration of a known substance.
It makes the use of two main chemical apparatus namely, pipette and burette.
External indicators like phenolphthalein or methyl orange and internal indicators like KMnO4 (potassium permanganate) are used to mark the end point of titration.
A known concentration and volume of a reagent, called the titrant or titrator, is added to a known volume of another reagent, the analyte or titrand.
This is done slowly from a burette until the end point is reached.
The volume added before the end point is reached is noted.
Because one of the solutions, the titrant, has a known concentration, that of the other, the titrand, can be calculated.
Professionals now use a pH meter, which is potentiometer with an electrode whose potential depends on the amount of H+ ions in the solution.
The pH of the solution is measured throughout the titration, more accurately than with an indicator.
At the endpoint there is a sudden change in the measured pH.
Since volume measurements play a key role in titration, it is known as volumetric analysis as well as quantitative analysis.
