An Écu (n.) 埃居（法文：Écu）是法國古貨幣的一種，法語盾意思。
1266年，法王路易九世開始鑄造金埃居。這種埃居稱大埃居（Gros Ecu）。1337年-1349年鑄造的金埃居重4.53克，等值於20-25蘇，可見這在當時基本上是等值於1圖賴訥里弗爾的金幣。1385年鑄造的金埃居重3.95克，等值於22索爾；1422年鑄造的金埃居重3.47克.1461年鑄造的金埃居重3.45克等值於1里弗爾13索爾，但是法王於1473年把1金埃居兌換25索爾改為28索爾4旦尼爾。金埃居的含金量不斷下調，可見這反映了金銀比價的變化趨勢。從1483年起，金埃居重3.496克保持穩定。
路易十三於1641年貨幣改革，將埃居改為用銀鑄幣，這種埃居稱為小埃居（Petit Ecu），一般法國文學中提到的埃居即銀制埃居。此時1埃居（銀）＝3里弗爾。十八世紀，1銀埃居等於6里弗爾多一點。
1795年，法國大革命後的政府徹底改革法國貨幣體系，發行含銀4.50克的法國法郎，約等於1里弗爾。同時規定5法國法郎的銀幣稱為埃居，一直到1878年。
埃居和歐盟貨幣單位（European Currency Unit）的英文縮寫是相同，但兩者並非有共同性。
The term écu or crown [1] may refer to one of several French coins. [2] The first écu was a gold coin (the écu d'or) minted during the reign of Louis IX of France, in 1266. Écu (from Latin scutum) means shield, and the coin was so called because its design included a shield bearing a coat of arms. The word is related to scudo and escudo. The value of the écu varied considerably over time, and silver coins (known as écu d'argent) were also introduced.
Compare: Crown
Crown (n.) A coin stamped with the image of a crown; hence,a denomination of money; as, the English crown, a silver coin of the value of five shillings sterling, or a little more than $1.20; the Danish or Norwegian crown, a money of account, etc., worth nearly twenty-seven cents.

Cardiac arrest (n.) 心停止（Cardiac arrest）或稱為心搏停止，是心臟因不能夠有效收縮，而導致血液循環停止的現象 [9]，症狀包含喪失意識、呼吸異常或中止 [1] [2]，有些患者在心搏驟止前還會胸痛、呼吸困難，以及噁心等症狀 [2] 心搏停止後若無獲得治療，一般會在數分鐘內死亡 [9]。
最常造成心搏驟止的原因是冠心病 [4]，其他較少見的原因包含大出血、缺氧、血鉀極低、心臟衰竭，以及過度運動 [4]。有些遺傳疾病如長QT症也會增加心搏驟停的風險 [4]，在心搏驟停之前，最常先觀察到有心室顫動的現象 [4]。確診方法為無心搏 [1] 值得注意的是，心肌梗塞可能導致心搏停止，但這兩者並不相同 [9]。
預防方法包含不抽菸、運動，以及維持體重在理想的範圍內 [5]。治療方法為立即進行心肺復甦術。若為可電擊復律心律（shockable rhythm），則進行去顫 [6] 若成功恢復心跳，目標體溫管理也有助於改善結果 [10]。植入型心臟去顫器也能減少日後復發致死的危險 [5]。
在美國，醫院之外心臟驟停的發生率約為每年萬分之13（326,000 例）[8]，院內心臟停止人數則約209,000例 [8]。心臟驟停的機會隨年齡增加 [3]，其中男性較女性為多 [3]，存活比例約為8% [7]，且許多人留有明顯後遺症 [7]。許多美國電視劇播報心搏停止的存活率67%，這是不正確的 [7]。
Is a sudden loss of blood flow resulting from the failure of the heart to effectively pump. [9] Symptoms include loss of consciousness and abnormal or absent breathing. [1] [2] Some individuals may experience chest pain, shortness of breath, or nausea before cardiac arrest. [2] If not treated within minutes, it usually leads to death. [9]
The most common cause of cardiac arrest is coronary artery disease. [4] Less common causes include major blood loss, lack of oxygen, very low potassium, heart failure, and intense physical exercise. [4] A number of inherited disorders may also increase the risk including long QT syndrome. [4] The initial heart rhythm is most often ventricular fibrillation. [4] The diagnosis is confirmed by finding no pulse. [1] While a cardiac arrest may be caused by heart attack or heart failure, these are not the same. [9]
Prevention includes not smoking, physical activity, and maintaining a healthy weight. [5] Treatment for cardiac arrest include immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and, if a shockable rhythm is present, defibrillation. [6] Among those who survive, targeted temperature management may improve outcomes. [10] An implantable cardiac defibrillator may be placed to reduce the chance of death from recurrence. [5]
In the United States, cardiac arrest outside hospital occurs in about 13 per 10,000 people per year (326,000 cases). [8] In hospital cardiac arrest occurs in an additional 209,000. [8] Cardiac arrest becomes more common with age. [3] It affects males more often than females. [3] The percentage of people who survive with treatment is about 8%. [7] Many who survive have significant disability. [7] Many U.S. television shows, however, have portrayed unrealistically high survival rates of 67%. [7]

[5] Cardiff is a significant tourist centre and the most popular visitor destination in Wales with 21.3 million visitors in 2017. [6] In 2011, Cardiff was ranked sixth in the world in National Geographic's alternative tourist destinations. [7]
Cardiff is the county town of the historic county of Glamorgan, and in 1974, South Glamorgan. Cardiff is part of the Eurocities network of the largest European cities. [8] A small town until the early 19th century, its prominence as a major port for the transport of coal following the arrival of industry in the region contributed to its rise as a major city. In 1905, Cardiff was made a city and proclaimed the capital of Wales in 1955. At the 2011 Census the population was 346,090. The Cardiff Built-up Area covers a slightly larger area outside the county boundary and includes the towns of Dinas Powys and Penarth.
Since the 1980s, Cardiff has seen significant development. A new waterfront area at Cardiff Bay contains the Senedd building, home to the Welsh Assembly and the Wales Millennium Centre arts complex. Current developments include the continuation of the redevelopment of the Cardiff Bay and city centre areas with projects such as the Cardiff International Sports Village, the BBC drama village, [9] and a new business district in the city centre. [10] Sporting venues in the city include the Principality Stadium—the national stadium and the home of the Wales national rugby union team—Sophia Gardens (the home of Glamorgan County Cricket Club), Cardiff City Stadium (the home of Cardiff City football team and the Wales football team), Cardiff International Sports Stadium (the home of Cardiff Amateur Athletic Club), Cardiff Arms Park (the home of Cardiff Blues and Cardiff RFC rugby union teams) and Ice Arena Wales (the home of Cardiff Devils ice hockey team). The city hosted the 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games. Cardiff was awarded European City of Sport due to its role in hosting major international sporting events in 2009 and again in 2014. [11] The Principality Stadium hosted 11 football matches as part of the 2012 Summer Olympics, including the games' opening event and the men's bronze medal match. [12]
