Karl Menger - Menger Karl Menger (January 13 1902 - October 5 1985) was a mathematician of great scope and depth. He did work on Algebras, Curve and Dimension Theory, and Geometries. His most famous popular contribution was the Menger Sponge (mistakenly known as Sierpinski's Sponge), a three dimensional version of Sierpinski's Carpet. It is also related to the Cantor Set and the Sierpinski Square. See Also http://www.iit.edu/~am/Menger/menger.html You may be looking for the article on his father, the economist Carl Menger..
Kavala - of the Ottoman Empire from 1371 to 1912. Mehmet Ali was born here in 1769. Some of it's most recognisable landmarks is a Venecian castle, in the hill of Panagia, and an aquaduct built by Suleiman I during his reign. The later serves still today as a city logo. It is a twin city of Nuremberg. Postage stamps Between 1893 and 1903, the French post office in the city issued its own postage stamps; at first stamps of France overprinted with "Cavalle" and a value in piasters, then in 1902 the French designs inscribed "CAVALLE"..

Karl Jaspers - philosophy although his father's experience with the legal system undoubtedly influenced his decision to study law at university. It soon became clear that law was not something Jaspers particularly enjoyed and he switched to studying medicine in 1902. Jaspers graduated from medical school in 1909 and began work at a psychiatric hospital in Heidelberg, where Emil Kraepelin had worked some years earlier. Jaspers became dissatisfied with the way the medical community of the time approached the study of mental illness and set himself the task of improving the psychiatric approach. In 1913 Jaspers was given a temporary post as a psychology teacher at Heidelberg University. The post later became permanent and Jaspers never returned to clinical practice. Contributions to Psychiatry Jaspers dissatisfaction with the popular understanding of mental illness led him.

Kennelly-Heaviside Layer - Tesla originally discovered this area. He made mathematical calculations based off his experiments in his research of electromagnetic propagation and resonance and deduced that the resonant frequency of this area was approximately eight hertz. Its existence was proposed in 1902 independently and almost simultaneously by the American electrical engineer Arthur Edwin Kennelly (1861-1949) and the British physicist Oliver Heaviside (1850-1925). It was finally detected in 1923. In the 1950s, researchers confirmed the resonant frequency was approximately eight hertz. The "Heaviside Layer" is used as a symbol for heaven (in the afterlife sense) in Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical Cats. This reference is based on a quote found in a letter written by T. S. Eliot, whose book Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats forms the basis of the musical..

King C. Gillette - idea. He realized that a profit could be made by selling a safety razor at a reduced price and then making a nice profit margin on the inexpensive disposable blades. This has been called the Razor and blades business model, or a "loss leader". To try out his idea he founded the American Safety Razor Company on September 28, 1901. The company's name was changed in July 1902 to Gillette Safety Razor Company. The first razors were produced in 1903, selling a total of 51 razors and 168 blades that year. The followng year 90,884 razors and 123,648 blades were sold, thanks in part to his low prices, automated manufacturing techniques and good advertising. By 1908 they had established manufacturing facilities in the United States, Canada, England, France and Germany. Razor.
Kitab al-Amanat wal-l'tiḳadat - 1880). Another translation, or rather paraphrase, of the "Kitab al-Amanat," of uncertain authorship, is contained in several manuscripts; large portions of this rendering were edited by Gollancz ("The Ethical Treatises of Berachyah," London, 1902; comp. "Monatsschrift," xlvi. 536). Of the ten sections or "maḳalat" of the work, the seventh, treating of the resurrection, is contained in two versions, the first of which, the basis of the translation of Ibn Tibbon, has been edited by Bacher in the "Steinschneider Festschrift," pp. 98-112, and the second by Landauer..

In 1910 he established the Thule Trading Station at Cape York (Uummannaq), Greenland as a base. He went on several expeditions between 1912-1919, including travelling over the Viscount Melville Sound and crossing the Northwest Passage by dogsled. From 1921-1924 he went on his famous "Great Sledge Journey" to collect and describe Inuit songs and legends. For that effort he gained a post at the University of Copenhagen.

Knights of the Garter (after 1899) - Garter" in 1488, although obviously Queens Mary I, Elizabeth I, Mary II, Anne, and Victoria had been ex officio members (1901) Frederick Sleigh Roberts, 1st Earl Roberts, Field Marshal, last Commander-in-Chief of the Army (1901) Crown Prince Wilhelm of Germany, great grandson of Queen Victoria (1901) King Alfonso XIII of Spain (1902) Herbrand Arthur Russell, 11th Duke of Bedford (1902) Charles Richard John Spencer-Churchill, 9th Duke of Marlborough (1902) Grand Duke Michael of Russia, brother of Emperor Nicholas II (1902) Archduke Francis Ferdinand of Austria, presumptive heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne (1902) Prince Emanuel Philibert of Savoy, Duke of Aosta (1902) Crown Prince Luis Filipe of Portugal (1902) Charles Edward, Duke of Albany, Reigning Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, grandson of Queen Victoria (1902) Prince Arthur of Connaught, grandson of Queen Victoria (1902).
Knuth -yllion - is "twelve hundred thirty-four"; 7623 is "seventy-six hundred twenty-three") 104 to 108-1 are divided before the 4th-last digit and named "blah myriad blah". Knuth also introduces at this level a grouping symbol (comma) for the numeral. So, 382,1902 is "382 myriad 19 hundred 2". 108 to 1016-1 are divided before the 8th-last digit and named "blah myllion blah", and a semicolon separates the digits. So 1,0002;0003,0004 is "1 myriad 2 myllion 3 myriad 4" 1016 to 1032-1 are divided before the 16th-last digit and named "blah byllion blah", and a colon separates the digits. So 12:0003,0004;0506,7089 is "12 byllion 3 myriad 4 myllion 506 myriad 70 hundred 89" etc (although what separator follows is not obvious) Abstractly, then, "one n-yllion" is 102n+2. "One trigintyllion" would have nearly forty-three myllion digits. External.
Korfball - done by throwing the ball through the other team's basket. After two goals the teams change zones: the defenders become attackers and attackers defenders. At half-time the teams change sides. (Graphical depiction of the rules in HTML and PDF formats) History Although sources are a bit hazy on this, it seems korfball is a descendant of basketball through an intermediate Swedisch sport called ringboll. The story goes that at the beginning of the 20th century a Dutch school teacher called Nico Broekhuysen was looking for a game that both the boys and the girls in his class could play. In 1902 he played a game called ringboll whilst in Sweden. Back in the Netherlands he devised the rules for korfball. Philosophy of korfball As long as you keep its philosophy in.
