Music of the United States (1980s to the present) - Die) and Nas (Illmatic) tended to be more well-received critically, but were consistently unable to match the West Coast in pop sales. The rivalry between the two coasts came to a head by 1996 (1996 in music), when the deaths of Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur rocked the world of hip hop. With West Coast head Suge Knight imprisoned (unrelated to the murders) and East Coast quickly becoming dominated by Puff Daddy's releases aimed at purely pop audiences, rap music splintered. A new generation of southern rappers like OutKast (ATLiens) and Goodie Mob (Soul Food) emerged from Atlanta, as well as vibrant scenes in St. Louis and New Orleans. The Fugees (The Score) also fused hip hop sounds with dub, dancehall and reggae, popular Jamaican forms, to great mainstream success. East.

Vertical interval timecode - each field. This internal redundancy is exploited by VITC readers, in addition to the standard timecode "flywheel" algorithm. A video frame may if necessary contain more than one VITC code, recorded on different line-pairs. This is often used in production, where different entities may want to encode different sets of time-code metadata on the same tape.

Kai - the Lexx from heretics. After a confrontation with Thodin, Kai found Zev Bellringer and Stanley Tweedle on the bridge. However, he is called away to help the Divine Predecessors when a cluster lizard attacks them. When Kai picks up piece of the brain of the Divine Shadow that killed him, he regains his memories and joins Stan and Zev. Kai is supported through proto-blood, a substance secreted by the Gigashadow. This liquid reanimates Kai for limited amounts of time, so he must remain in cryogenic suspension. Because he is dead, he lacks the ability to perform most bodily functions, a major let-down for Zev, who loves the dead man. He also lacks motivation and other emotions, and answers most questions with "The dead do not..." At the end of the final.
Karadjordje - In spring of 1809 he started successful offensive toward Montenegro but he had to return because of Turkish penetration from Niš toward Danube. Endangered by Napoleon, in 1812 Russia had to settle peace with Turkey. Serbs then stayed alone and open to Turkish revenge. In 1813 Turks attacked Serbia from three sides; in hardest moment Karadjordje got ill and, weak from disease, he left Serbia on September 21st 1813 and crossed to Austria and, after some time, to Bessarabia, where he connected with secret Greek society Heteria, which was planning for liberation of all Christians from Turks.

Yars' Revenge - even if the barrier is undamaged - fortunately, the player is warned before the shot is fired, and he can retreat to a safe zone where enemy fire cannot harm him. The game had an easter egg. After killing the Qotile, if the player moved vertically along the line where the Qotile was killed, the programmers initials could be seen ending the game. As with several other video games for the 2600 system, a miniature comic book was included in the game package, illustrating the story behind Yars' Revenge and giving the game an additional appeal. The comic book explained the "revenge" of the game's title: that the Yars were avenging the destruction of one of their worlds, Razak IV. Trivia: The Yar race and the planet Razak were named after.
Vernor Vinge - Upon the Deep. In it, Vinge postulates that the galaxy is divided up into "zones of thought", in which the further one moves from the center of the galaxy, the higher the level of technology one can achieve. Earth is in "The Slow Zone", in which the speed of light cannot be achieved, but neither can the singularity. Thus Vinge could write a classic space opera despite his belief that the technology required for such stories would push us past the singularity. Fire includes a large number of additional ideas making for an unusually complex and rich universe and story. A Deepness in the Sky (1999) was a prequel to Fire, following competing groups of humans in The Slow Zone as they struggle over who has the rights to exploit a.
Vector graphics - (dots). Virtually all current output devices must ultimately translate vector representations of an image to a raster format, but when working with vector graphics such a transformation is only done at the time the image is actually required and may be done completely differently depending on the device at which the rendering is to be targeted at. In the 1970's and 1980's, special vector graphics systems were available, in which the electron beam of the CRT display monitor was steered directly to trace out the shapes required. These systems allowed very high-resolution line art to be displayed without the (at the time) huge memory requirements that an equivalent-resolution raster system would have had. Vector plotters used in technical drafting still draw vectors directly to paper. The term is mainly used in.
Kaskaskia, Illinois - of 9. It was Illinois' first state capital, before the capital was moved to Vandalia in 1820. The town was destroyed by the flood of 1881. At that time, the Mississippi River, which serves as the state's western border, cut across the village and took up a new channel through the Kaskaskia River. The people of Kaskaskia, startled to find themselves in Missouri, demanded that the boundary conform to the old channel. Kaskaskia is therefore the only part of Illinois west of the Mississippi. Geography According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 0.3 km² (0.1 mi²). None of the area is covered with water. Demographics As of the census of 2000, there are 9 people, 4 households, and 3 families residing in the village..
Vespasian - and advanced on Rome, which they entered after furious fighting and a frightful confusion, in which the Capitol was destroyed by fire. On receiving the tidings of his rival's defeat and death at Alexandria, new emperor at once forwarded supplies of urgently needed corn to Rome, along with an edict or a declaration of policy, in which he gave assurance of an entire reversal of the laws of Nero, especially those relating to treason. While in Egypt he visited the Temple of Serapis, where reportedly he experienced a vision, and later was confronted by two laborers who were convinced that he possessed a divine power which could work miracles. Leaving the war in Judaea to his son Titus, he arrived at Rome in 70. He at once devoted his energies to.
Kathenotheism - by the philologist Max Müller to mean the worship of one god at a time. It is closely related to henotheism and polytheism. Müller originally coined the term in reference to the Vedas; he argued there are different supreme gods at different times. Kathenotheism is sometimes distinguished as follows: a henotheist worships only one God during their whole life (assuming they do not undergo a conversion); while they accept that other Gods exist they do not worship them. A kathenotheist worships one God at a time, depending on their locality or the time. See also: Henotheism Monotheism Polytheism.
Kavadh I of Persia - Sassanid king (488 - 531), crowned by the nobles in place who was deposition and blinding of his uncle Balash. At this time the empire was utterly disorganized by the invasion of the Ephthalites or White Huns from the east. After one of their victories against Peroz, Kavadh had been a hostage among them during two years, pending the payment of a heavy ransom. In 484 Peroz had been defeated and slain with his whole army. Balash was not able to restore the royal authority. The hopes of the magnates and high priests that Kavadh would suit their purpose were soon disappointed. Kavadh gave his support to the communistic sect founded by Mazdak, son of Bamdad, who demanded that the rich should divide their wives and their wealth with the poor..
VESA Local Bus - to non-Intel architectures nearly impossible. Limited number of slots available. Most PCs that used VESA Local Bus had only one or two slots available, as opposed to 5 or 6 ISA slots. This was because, as a direct branch of the 80486 memory bus, the VESA Local Bus didn't have the electrical ability to drive more than 1 or 2 cards at a time. Reliability problems. The same electrical problems that limited the VESA Local Bus to 2 slots also limited its reliability. Glitches between cards were common, especially on low-end motherboards, and when important devices such as hard disk controllers were attached to the bus, there was the all-too-common possibility of massive data corruption. By 1996, the Pentium (driven by Intel's Triton chipset and Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) architecture) had.
