Just Like That - Just Like That Lily Brett's Just Like That (1994) is a novel about Holocaust survivors in the United States. Up to a point, it is autobiographical: The author was born in Germany in 1946 and came to Melbourne, Australia with her parents in 1948. She is married to painter David Rankin; they have three children and currently live in New York. Very similar things can be said about the heroine of Brett´s book, Esther Zepler. The novel chronicles the lives of a group of Jews - or rather, a Jewish family - in the U.S.A., in particular New York City, over a period of roughly seven months during 1991 and 1992. There is little action. Rather, the novel describes in greater detail the feelings of the.
Just another Perl hacker - Just another Perl hacker A Perl program which prints "Just another Perl hacker" using extremely obfuscated methods, typically ones based on obscure behaviours of sometimes rarely-used functions, in the spirit of the Obfuscated C Contest. The obfuscation can result from the code being total gibberish, e.g.: $_="krJhruaesrltre c a cnp,ohet";$_.=$1,print$2while s/(..)(.)//; or from having "Just another Perl hacker" embedded in opaque code: $_='987;s/^(d+)/$1-1/e;$1?eval:print"Just another Perl hacker,"';eval or from looking like it does something simple and completely unrelated to printing "Just another Perl hacker": $_ = "wftedskaebjgdpjgidbsmnjgc"; tr/a-z/oh, turtleneck Phrase Jar!/; print; This phrase was popularized by Randal L. Schwartz, who created most of the first such programs in the signatures of his postings to the Usenet newsgroup comp.lang.perl (the predecessor to the modern comp.lang.perl.misc). See also:.

Justification (theology) - reckon righteous; Psa. 32:2: not to impute iniquity. One thing at least is clear from these verses, and that is, that to justify does not mean to make one righteous. Neither the Hebrew nor Greek words will bear such meaning. To justify means to set forth as righteous; to declare righteous in a legal sense; to put a person in a right relation. It does not deal, at least not directly, with character or conduct; it is a question of relationship. Of course both character and conduct will be conditioned and controlled by this relationship. No real righteousness on the part of the person justified is to be asserted, but that person is declared to be righteous and is treated as such. Strictly speaking then, Justification is the judicial act of.
Vegetarianism - who are such for ethical reasons may additionally refuse to eat cheese made with animal-based enzymes, or eggs produced by factory farms. Lacto vegetarianism refers to the practice of eschewing all meat, yet allowing the consumption of milk and its derivatives, like cheese, butter or yoghurt. Similarly ovo-vegetarians presumably only eat eggs in addition to their otherwise strictly vegetarian regimen. Pesco vegetarianism refers to the increasingly common practice of occasionally including some seafood, primarily fish, in one's diet. This is the diet practiced, with occasional supplementation of dairy products, by the integrated medicine practitioner Andrew Weil, M.D. and advocated by his books Eating Well for Optimum Health. (This is not true vegetarianism) In the United States, vegetarianism is usually synonymous with ovo-lacto vegetarianism; and will sometimes be assumed to tolerate some.
Kaspar Hauser - 4th squadron of the 6th cavalry regiment where the writer asked the captain to either take him or hang him. Shoemaker Weissman took the boy to the house of captain Wessenig where he could only repeat, "I want to be a rider like my father." Further demands resulted only in tears. He was taken to a police station where he would only write a name: Kaspar Hauser. A letter with him claimed that he was born in April 30 1812. The next two months he spent in Vestner Gate Tower in the care of a jailor, Andreas Hiltel. Various curious people visited him, to his apparent delight. He could only smile, walk in toddler's step and could barely use his fingers. He could only eat water and bread. He was maybe.
Vegetarian cuisine - satisfies vegetarian principles. This means food free from ingredients like meat, meat broth, cheeses that use animal rennet, even some sugars. Although not essential, certain special ingredients have often been associated with vegetarian cuisine — the most popular being tofu. Although tofu plays a key role in many mock dishes, a person can be vegetarian for life and never touch it. Ignoring the different types of vegetarians (e.g., ovo-lacto vs. vegan), one can roughly divide vegetarian cuisine into 2 categories: Meat analogues, cuisine that uses mock meats. Cuisine that are "naturally" vegetarian. Cuisine that Uses Meat Analogues These are vegetarian versions of popular dishes that non-vegetarians enjoy and are frequently consumed as fast food, comfort food, transition food for new vegetarians, or a way to show non-vegetarians that they can be.
Karl August von Hardenberg - claims in the old Empire, was one of considerable delicacy, and Hardenberg filled it with great skill, doing much to reform traditional anomalies and to develop the country, and at the same time labouring to expand the influence of Prussia in South Germany. After the outbreak of the revolutionary wars his diplomatic ability led to his appointment as Prussian envoy, with a roving commission to visit the Rhenish courts and win them over to Prussia's views; and ultimately, when the necessity for making peace with the French Republic had been recognized, he was appointed to succeed Count Goltz as Prussian plenipotentiary at Basel (February 28, 1795), where he signed the treaty of peace. In 1797, on the accession of King Frederick William III, Hardenberg was summoned to Berlin, where he received.
Kaokor Galaxy - Khaosai Galaxy and a two-time world champion in his own right. Like his brother, Nirote Saenkham started his career in the sport of kickboxing and later switched to orthodox boxing. After becoming a sports star in his native country, he followed a long-standing Thai custom of adopting an attention-getting pseudonym and thus became known as Kaokor Galaxy. He entered professional boxing in 1985 and won his first seven fights before capturing the Thai bantamweight (118-pound) title in July 1986. He held that crown until May 9, 1988, when he upset Puerto Rico's Wilfredo Vasquez to take the WBA world bantamweight title. With the victory, the Galaxy brothers became the first twins to ever be world champions. Kaokor lost the title three months later, when an accidental headbutt called a halt to.
Venus (planet) - the "morning star" or the "evening star", it is by far the brightest "star" in the sky. Because Venus is closer to the Sun than Earth is, it is always in roughly the same direction as the Sun, so on Earth it can only be seen just before sunrise or just after sunset. Physical characteristics Atmosphere Venus has an atmosphere consisting mainly of carbon dioxide and a small amount of nitrogen, with a pressure at the surface about 90 times that of Earth (a pressure equivalent to a depth of 1 kilometer under Earth's ocean). This enormous CO2-rich atmosphere results in a strong greenhouse effect that raises the surface temperature approximately 400°C above what it would be otherwise, causing temperatures at the surface to reach 500°C. This makes Venus's surface hotter.
Kathy Watt - Watt. Kathy began in Little Athletics as a runner like her father, cycling from home to her track. After a time she found she was a good cyclist and began to train and compete in cycling. Watt won Australia's first gold medal of the 1992 Summer Olympics in the women's cycling road race. She then went on to finish second in the women’s 3km Individual Pursuit to take the silver medal. Came to prominence not just for her cycling but for bitter infighting with her Australian team mates and the head cycling coach..
Vector processor - 1990s, but general increases in performance and processor design have since made the dedicated vector processor a thing of the past. History The first successful implementations of a vector processor appears to be the CDC Cyber 100 and the Texas Instruments Advanced Scientific Computer. The Cyber was otherwise slower than CDC's own supercomputers like the CDC 7600 (but much smaller too), but at those data related tasks they could be quite a bit faster. However the machine also took considerable time decoding the vector instruction and getting ready to run the process, so it required very specific data sets to work on before it actually sped anything up. The technique was first fully exploited in the famous Cray-1. Instead of leaving the data in memory like the Cyber and ASC, the.
Ken Livingstone - Bomb," and declaring London a "nuclear-free zone." Livingstone made perhaps his most controversial move in December 1982, when the GLC extended an official invitation to Sinn Féin leaders Gerry Adams and Danny Morrison. In the event, Adams and Morrison were denied entry into the country under the Prevention of Terrorism Act and met with Livingstone in Northern Ireland instead. Such actions made Livingstone a favourite target for the press, which referred to him as "Red Ken" and associated him with the "Loony Left," alongside Tony Benn, Militant Tendency, and other far-left elements within the Labour Party. However, he favoured European integration and proportional representation (neither of which were particularly popular causes among the British left at that time), and when both the GLC and the Militant-controlled Merseyside council protested the government's.
Keyboard technology - keyboards have varying responses and travels. The best tend to approximate the old IBM Selectric electric typewriter keyboard, which was considered the benchmark for good performance for many years. Because of the expense of placing a switch at each key position, these have fallen out of favour in recent years, despite their excellent response. Most IBM keyboards up into the PS/2 line were of this type, and considered to be among the best of breed, although some complained that they were "clackity." Hall effect keyboard Hall effect keyboards use magnets and "Hall Effect" sensors instead of an actual switch. When a key is depressed, it moves a magnet, which is detected by a solid-state Hall-Effect sensor. These keyboards are extremely reliable, able to accept millions of keystrokes before failing. They are.
Kernel (category theory) - there is a unique morphism u: K' → K such that k o u = k'. Note that in many concrete contexts, one would refer to the object K as the "kernel", rather than the morphism k. In those situations, K would be a subset of A, and that would be sufficient to reconstruct k as an inclusion map; in the nonconcrete case, in contrast, we need the morphism k to describe how K is to be interpreted as a subobject of A. One may prefer to think of the kernel as the pair (K,k) rather than as simply K or k alone. First properties Not every morphism needs to have a kernel, but if it does, then all its kernels are isomorphic in a strong sense: if k : K.
Ken Dodd - He claims that on one occasion the caretaker of the theatre handed him the keys on stage and told him to lock up when he was finished. He always ends his act with a soulful rendition of the song "Happiness". UK chart singles "Love Is Like A Violin" (1960) "Once In Every Lifetime" (1961) "Pianissimo (1962) "Still" (1963) "Eight By Ten" (1964) "Happiness" (1964) "So Deep Is The Night" (1964) "Tears" (1965) "The River (Le Colline Sono In Fioro)" (1965) "Promises" (1966) "More Than Love" (1966) "It's Love" (1966) "Let Me Cry On Your Shoulder" (1967) "Tears Won't Wash Away These Heartaches" (1969) "Broken Hearted" (1970) "When Love Comes Round Again (L'arca di Noe)" (1971) "Just Out Of Reach (Of My Two Empty Arms)" (1972) "(Think Of Me) Wherever You Are".
Kefallinia - and Ithaca. Poros, in the south, has ferry routes to Kyllini. Argostoli, in the west, is the largest port, carrying local boats around, and ferries to Zante and occasionally to Lixouri. Vasiliki, in the north, has links to Lefkas and Ithaca. There is room for around 100 small boats in Argostoli, with the port stretching 1 kilometre around the estuary. Lixouri is situated 4km across the bay from Argostoli, on the Lixori peninsular. There is a road connection to the rest of the island, however driving from Lixouri to Argostoli involves a 30 km detour. There is one airport, Argostoli Airport, with a runway of around 1 km. Almost every scheduled flight is an Olympic plane, mainly to Athens, however there is an Ionian Island Hopper service 3 times a week.
Kenneth Richard Norris - by Australian police and health authorities over forensic matters, and appeared in an Australian Broadcasting Commission (ABC) documentary on the subject a few years ago. After retirement in 1979 he continued as an honorary research fellow with the CSIRO well into his eighties. His last scientific publication was in 1999 at the appreciable age of 85. It exceeded 100 pages of original research and taxonomic drawings. Dick had an amazing thirst for knowledge which extended far beyond his discipline. He was regarded as a widely-read but unpretentious intellectual with an adaptive sense of humour. He was always held in high esteem by those who knew him. His fondness for wordpower and dictionaries was legendary. For example, when he "officially" retired from the CSIRO in 1979 he was given a just-released pocket.
Kempston - coined "the enclosed settlement on the bend". The bend was that of the river Great Ouse noted for its sharp bends upstream of Bedford. It is just possible that "cambita" (the curved one) was the name given to this stretch of the river by the Celtic speaking population. In this case the name could have developed like that of the river Kembs in the French Department of Haute Rhin. Locally the village name is pronounced Kemstun. Kempston also was the brand name of a popular joystick and interface for the ZX Spectrum. This article is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by fixing it..
Kerikeri - water and dedicated on April 19 1824. It was replaced in 1829 when a 38ft by 18ft lath and plaster structure was erected on the present site of St James. It came complete with a town clock which was later incorporated in the Stone Store. The new and slightly larger St James, built of weatherboard and battens, was dedicated in 1878. It was another 85 years before the church was extended to its present day size to cater for a growing congregation (1963). In 1968 a damaging tornado hit Kerikeri with enough force to skew St James off line. Services had to be held elsewhere until a major repair/restoration was completed. The church bell came from the Black Prince, a light cruiser which served the Royal New Zealand Navy with distinction.
