A normal heart rate is 60 to 100 beats per minute at rest. Ventricular tachycardia is a regular, faster-than-normal heart rate that begins in the heart's lower chambers.
Umami (pronounced oo-MAH-mee) has been called the fifth taste, joining the traditional quartet of salty, sweet, bitter and sour. The word umami derives from the Japanese umai, which roughly translates as deliciousness [source: Umami Information Center].

As to where Rogers got the word, it could have come from an error on a French-made map from the early 1700s, where the Ouisiconsink (âWisconsin Riverâ) is misspelled âOuaricon-sint,â and broken so âOuariconâ sits on a line by itself or it might have been derived from the Algonquian wauregan or olighin, which both mean âgood and beautifulâ (and were both used in reference to the Ohio River at the time).
