	Stroke order - Definition, explanation
		Stroke order can refer to the numerical order in which strokes are written, or to the direction in which the writing instrument (brush, pen, or pencil) must move in writing a particular stroke.
		There are precise rules for stroke order which are intended to maximize ease of writing and reading, to ease the process of learning to write (when one has learned the rules, one can infer the stroke order of most characters) as well as to aid in producing uniform characters.
		The normalisation of stroke order in Chinese characters is what allows readers to correctly identify hand written characters and, notably, the Grass script style in Chinese calligraphy, by recreating in imagination the sequence of movements used to write the character.

	Stroke order - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The stroke order of a character gives the order and direction in which the brush strokes, or simply "strokes", are written.
		Stroke order can therefore refer to the numerical order in which strokes are written, or to the direction in which the writing instrument (brush, pen, or pencil) must move in writing a particular stroke.
		The rules for stroke order evolved to facilitate vertical writing, to maximize ease of writing and reading, to aid in producing uniform characters, and — since a person who has learned the rules can infer the stroke order of most characters — to ease the process of learning to write.

		While this is rarely a problem in day-to-day writing, in calligraphy, stroke order is vital; incorrectly ordered or written strokes can produce a visually unappealing or, occasionally, incorrect character, particularly in styles such as Grass Script, in which individual strokes are often combined in fluid motions without lifting the brush from the paper.
		While the majority of characters are written in exactly the same stroke order everywhere, the "official" stroke order of Chinese characters varies from country to country because calligraphic styles evolved differently in Imperial China, Modern and Communist China, Japan, and Korea.

	How to Write Chinese Characters
		Strokes are traditionally classified into eight basic forms, each appearing in the character "eternally" and listed below according to their contemporary names.
		In the above example of "eternally", strokes 2-3-4 are written as one continuous stroke, as are strokes 5-6.
		Hence in dictionaries this character is indexed as having five separate strokes.

	Stroke (Ischemic, Thrombotic, Embolic, And Transient Ischemic Attack)
		Further contributing to stroke deaths is the belief by many health care providers that stroke is untreatable, leading to an attitude of "watchful waiting" with an onset of a stroke, instead of being focused on treating the stroke as a medical emergency.
		An ischemic stroke can be caused by a blood clot that forms inside the artery of the brain (thrombotic stroke), or by a clot that forms somewhere else in the body and travels to the brain (embolic stroke).
		Thrombotic stroke is caused by unhealthy blood vessels becoming clogged with a buildup of fatty deposits, calcium, and blood clotting factors such as fibrinogen and cholesterol.

		One of the first undertakings of the SWG was to map the FY2001 NINDS stroke grant portfolio and current and planned initiatives to the overall scientific and resourcepriorities of the Report, in order to identify research gaps and future priorities.
		The development of effective stroke treatments continues to be an urgent priority, and the successful translation of vascular approaches (e.g., tPA Trial, PROACT II, Ancrod) has demonstrated that stroke is treatable in the acute stage of the disorder.

		A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is suddenly interrupted or when a blood vessel in the brain bursts, spilling blood into the spaces surrounding brain cells.
		The symptoms of a stroke include sudden numbness or weakness, especially on one side of the body; sudden confusion or trouble speaking or understanding speech; sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes; sudden trouble with walking, dizziness, or loss of balance or coordination; or sudden severe headache with no known cause.
		Recurrent stroke is frequent; about 25 percent of people who recover from their first stroke will have another stroke within 5 years.
