Prozac Nation - is an autobiographical book first published in 1994 by Elizabeth Wurtzel, describing the author's experiences with clinical depression. Wurtzel describes her experience with the depths of a depressive illness, her own character failings and how she managed to live through particularly difficult periods whilst completing college and working as a writer. Her honesty in relating these episodes (which often do not reflect well on the author) is a striking aspect of the book. This has polarised many readers and critics, with some denouncing Wurtzel as self-obsessed, indulgent and unlikeable, whilst others praising her for producing a frank and accessible account of a sometimes stigmatised illness. As an autobiographical account of experiences with mental illness it can be seen as the successor to books such as Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar and.

Kamisese Mara - Tuimacilai Mara was born on 13 May 1920, in Vanuabalavu in the archipelago of Lau, the son of Ratu Tevita Uluilakeba, head of the chiefly Vuanirewa clan, and his first wife Lusiana Qolikoro.

A Rhodes Scholar, Mara was educated first at Otago University in New Zealand, where he studied medicine, and later at Oxford University in the United Kingdom, where he graduated with an M.A. in political science.

Kenilworth Castle - almost a year. The extensive water defences proved their worth, despite Edward targeting the weaker north wall, defended by only a double moat, employing huge siege towers and even attempting a night attack by barge. The siege was ended on easy terms for the defenders with the Dictum of Kenilworth. The experience gained in water defenses at Kenilworth was put to good effect at later castles built in Wales, notably Caerphilly. Edward I bestowed the castle upon his youngest son Edmund Crouchback, 1st Earl of Lancaster. The castle was inherited by his grandson Henry, Duke of Lancaster, which then passed to his son-in-law John of Gaunt. From 1364 John of Gaunt began the castle's conversion from a pure fortress into something more liveable, work that continued with his grandson, Henry V..
Kennet and Avon Canal - 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 water each hour 235 feet. In October 1995 the Heritage Lottery Fund granted the project £25 million towards further structural improvements and maintenance. The.

Kew School - came when it was realised that the pursuit of tolerance, a concept that featured prominently in the school's mission statement, was a barrier to the management of behaviour." The school implemented an approach called "Building Character through Cornerstone Values" which was based on the idea that some human values are objective rather than subjective. Its aim was to reinforce "core values" such as respect and responsibility, and empowered teachers to say that some behaviours were just plain wrong, and would not be tolerated. Heenan writes that this resulted in a dramatic improvement in the school environment. As of 2001, the principal was Lester Dean. Address 117 Elizabeth Street Invercargill New Zealand.
Kenya, Uganda, Tanganyika - typographed and had a silhouette of a lion, with color combinations of black/yellow and black/red, respectively. The same designs were reissued in 1938 with a profile of George VI. Wartime exigencies forced the use of surcharges on four South African stamps in 1941 and 1942, but after the war the usual common types (Peace Issue, Silver Wedding Issue, etc) resumed. A definitive series, with new designs, was issued in 1954 for Queen Elizabeth, and in 1958 a pair of commemoratives marked the 100th anniversary of the discovery of the Great Lakes of Africa by Burton and Speke. A new definitive series in 1960 used simpler and more symbolic designs, and was followed in 1963 by three sets of commemoratives. At this point the East African Commo Services Organization took over, and.

Kingsley Amis - type of humorous dystopia, particlarly common in the works of Robert Sheckley. With the Sovietologist Robert Conquest he produced a series of science fiction anthologies Spectrum I-IV, which drew heavily on Astounding Science Fiction from the 1950s for its sources. In his own writings in the science fiction/fantasy genre, he wrote two novels, The Alteration, an alternate history novel set in a 20th century Britain where the Reformation never happened, and a supernatural/horror novel, The Green Man, later adapted as a television production by the BBC He was married twice, first in 1948 to Hilary.

King of Ireland - to remove references to the King, Crown and Governor-General of the Irish Free State. However the King of Ireland's role continued by virtue of the External Relations Act, 1936. This procedural role of representing the Irish Free State in international affairs continued when a new constitution, Bunreacht na hÉireann, was introduced in 1937. It only ceased with the passage of the Republic of Ireland Act, 1948, which came into force in April 1949. This act, as the name suggested, made Ireland a republic. The Crown of Ireland Act was repealed in the republic of Ireland by the Statute Law Revision (Pre-Union Irish Statutes) Act 1962. Kings or Queens of Ireland Pre-1169 A kingship of Ireland was contested between three dynasties in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. The following were described as.
King's College, London - other campuses as well, including the Guy's campus near London Bridge, the St. Thomas' campus facing the Houses of Parliament across the Thames, and the Hampstead campus on Kidderpore Avenue, formerly the site of Westfield College, since merged with Queen Mary. The current institution is the product of the merger of King's with a number of other institutions over the years, including Queen Elizabeth College, Chelsea College, the Institute of Psychiatry, Guy's Hospital, and St Thomas' Hospital. King's has over 17,000 students. Well-known alumni include Anita Brookner, Arthur C. Clarke, Derek Jarman, B. S. Johnson, Hanif Kureishi, Michael Nyman, and Desmond Tutu. Florence Nightingale's original training school for nurses was at St Thomas's Hospital and King's College Hospital. Perhaps the most famous scholarly research performed at King's was the work by.
Kinescope - conventional film, which was necessitated by their insistence on producing their show in California. In retrospect, this was a good idea, since reruns would not suffer from degraded quality. With much of the TV industry moving to the West Coast in later years, kinescopes practically fell from use. In Britain the process is called telerecording. Its first major British use was the recording of the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II on June 2, 1953. Many live and videotaped British shows of the 1950s and 1960s were preserved this way, usually with optical soundtracks. A few of these are on 35mm film, but because of the expense 16mm was normally used. In the 1950s a home kinescope kit was introduced in Britain, allowing enthusiasts to make 16mm recordings of television programmes. The.
Kingsway Tunnel - 1966 and 1971 when the Queensway Tunnel between Liverpool and Birkenhead was no longer sufficient to cope with the traffic. It was opened in June 1971 by Queen Elizabeth II, and it consists of a twin tube, each tube having two lanes, each 12 ft. wide. In a study following the fire in the Mont Blanc Tunnel, inspectors from the European Union rated the Kingsway Tunnel as "good", one of only eight in Europe. There is also a railway tunnel under the Mersey, built between 1880 and 1886..

Kiss Hands - fealty and loyalty to the Sovereign, that fealty and loyalty being a requirement to serve in the King's or Queen's government. In modern times, office holders are not required to actually physically kiss the hands of the sovereign (though some, to the current Queen Elizabeth II's embarrassment have unexpectedly done so). Simply meeting with the Queen is taken to validate the appointment, with this meeting being described as "kissing hands". The invitation issued to a party leader to form a government is sometimes still described as "an invitation to Kiss Hands"..
Kill Van Kull - the region, providing a passage for marine traffic between Manhattan and the industrial towns of New Jersey.
