Deaths From Parkinson's Disease
Death is the irreversible cessation of all biological functions that sustain an organism. For organisms with a brain, death can also be defined as the irreversible cessation of functioning of the whole brain, including brainstem, and brain death is sometimes used as a legal definition of death. The remains of a former organism normally begin to decompose shortly after death. Death is an inevitable process that eventually occurs in almost all organisms. Death is generally applied to whole organisms; the similar process seen in individual components of an organism, such as cells or tissues, is necrosis. Something that is not considered an organism, such as a virus, can be physically destroyed but is not said to die. As of the early 21st century, over 150,000 humans die each day, with ageing being by far the most common cause of death. Many cultures and religions have the idea of an afterlife, and also may hold the idea of judgement of good and bad deeds in one's life ( he ...

Moroccan Throne Cup
The Moroccan Throne Cup or the Throne Cup is a football tournament sponsored by the Royal Moroccan Football Federation and brings together Moroccan clubs who play on the knockout system until two teams reach the final match. Unlike the league championship in Morocco, which started in 1916 before Morocco gained independence from France and Spain, the cup competition was not organized until after independence, as the first season of this competition was in 1957. The late Moroccan King Mohammed V named it the Throne Cup and it still bears the same name. The first club to win this cup was Mouloudia Oujda. Since the inception of the cup, the system has been one-match, but this system has been modified to back and forth. The Throne Cup champion qualifies directly to the CAF Confederation Cup, but if the cup champion is the same as the league champion in that season or a participant in the CAF Champions League, the club that played the final is the one who compensates him in the extern ...
