Karelia (republic) - Russia, east of present-day Finland. In the 16th century south-eastern Karelia was annexed to Sweden, and then lost again during the first half of the 18th century. In 1923 the province became the Karelian ASSR. From 1940 it was made into the Karelo-Finnish SSR but was changed back to a ASSR in 1956. During the Continuation War in 1941 Finland occupied parts of the area but was forced to withdraw in 1944. The Republic of Karelia was formed on November 13, 1991. Geography Present-day Karelia is situated between Lake Ladoga in the southwest and the White Sea in the northeast. Culture See also: Saami music.

Karelo-Finnish SSR - republic of the Soviet Union that existed between 1940 and 1956. History The attack by the Soviet Union on Finland and the ensuing Winter War ended less successfully than what the Soviet side had expected. The preparations for setting up a communist-controlled administration for Finland would also have been in vain if it was not for the separation of the Karelian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic from the Russian SFSR. The Karelo-Finnish Soviet Socialist Republic, which was set up on March 31, 1940, was to serve as a remainder for the Finns that the Soviet Union had not renounced their claims. In the ensuing Continuation War, the territory was occupied by Finland more or less from July 1941 until September 1944, and in the following peace Finland was able to defend its.

Karl Wallenda - between two hotels in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on a wire stretched 37 m above the pavement, fell to his death when winds exceeded 48 km/h. Three members of the family died in 1996: Helen Kreis (December 11, 1910 - May 9, 1996) was the last surviving member of the original troupe. She joined the Wallendas when she was 16. Helen and Karl Wallenda were married in 1935. Until she retired in 1956, she was balanced at the peak of the seven-person pyramid. Gunther Wallenda (1927 - March 16, 1996), Karl's nephew, began training on the wire at age five, though he was already part of the act. In 1944, in what became the worst circus tragedy ever, a fire broke out in a circus tent in Hartford, Conn., midway through.

Kaon - the late 1940s, they were labeled the t and q mesons and their decay was a great mystery, labeled the t-q puzzle. The particles were identical in mass, and the only thing which apparently differentiated them was their decay processes and the fact that the two different sets of decay products had different parity. Particle decays by the strong or electromagnetic interactions had been observed to conserve parity in their decays. Theoretical physicists T. D. Lee and C. N. Yang proposed in 1956 that parity need not be conserved in weak interaction decays. In 1957 Chien-Shiung Wu showed this violation of parity conservation in the beta decay of cobalt. Even with the violation of parity, it was thought that the combination of charge conjugation and parity would leave the system invariant.

United States Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker and F-22 Raptor. Boeing's 367-80 was the basic design for the commercial Boeing 707 passenger aircraft as well as the KC-135A Stratotanker.

The first aircraft flew in August 1956 and the initial production Stratotanker was delivered to Castle Air Force Base, California, in June 1957. The last KC-135 was delivered to the Air Force in 1965. Of the original KC-135A's, more than 410 have been modified with new CFM-56 engines produced by CFM-International. The re-engined tanker, designated either the KC-135R or KC-135T, can offload 50 percent more fuel, is 25.

Vere Gordon Childe - excavation of Skara Brae took place in 1928, when he was summoned to supervise the work which had begun as a result of storm damage uncovering previously undiscovered structures in addition to those already exposed. After leaving Edinburgh, Childe worked at the University of London for ten years, until his retirement in 1956. He returned to Australia, but died in 1957 in the Blue Mountains. He fell to his death in circumstances which may have been an accident; however, in view of his personal circumstances, it is thought more likely that he committed suicide. Childe had been involved in left-wing politics in Australia, but his Marxism was more intellectual than activist. Perhaps it was natural that, being an archaeologist with only the material artefacts of the past to inform him, he.
Kennet and Avon Canal - stations and locks. The Great Western Railway relieved the canal of much of its traffic when it opened, and in 1846 the GWR Company took over the running of the canal, levying high tolls until the canal was hardly used. In the 1950s large portions of the canal were closed because of poor lock maintenance, and in 1956 the Kennet & Avon Canal Trust successfully petitioned against its legal closure. In 1963 the newly formed British Waterways took over the canal and began restoration work. In 1990 Queen Elizabeth II reopened the canal but, because of problems with pumping, the canal could be used only part-time until August 1, 1996 when new backpumps were installed at the Caen Hill flight of 29 locks at Devizes. The pumps raise 300,000 gallons of.
