Charles X of Sweden - position by summoning the Polish diet, his negotiations for the partition of the very state he affected to befriend, awoke the long slumbering public spirit of the country. In the beginning of 1656 John II returned from exile and the Polish army was reorganized and increased. By this time Charles had discovered that it was easier to defeat the Poles than to conquer Poland. His chief object, the conquest of Prussia, was still unaccomplished, and a new foe arose in the elector of Brandenburg, alarmed by the ambition of the Swedish king. Charles forced the elector, indeed, at the point of the sword to become his ally and vassal (Treaty of Königsberg); but the Polish national rising now imperatively demanded his presence in the south. For weeks he scoured the interminable.

Vermont - same-sex couples nearly all the rights and privileges of marriage. In Baker v. Vermont (1999) the Vermont Supreme Court ruled that, under the Constitution of Vermont, the State of Vermont must either allow homosexual couples to marry, or provide a separate but equal status for them. The State legislature chose the second option by creating the institution of civil union; the bill, which was supported by about half of the state's voters, was passed by the legislature, and signed into law by Governor Howard Dean. Some Vermonters voiced their displeasure out loud and in the following state senate elections. Although Vermont boasts two Senate seats and a relatively small population, attempts by out-of-state candidates (so called "carpetbaggers") to win a seat in Vermont have often been thwarted by locals. In 1998,.

Kiidk'yaas - look back, but he disobeyed and was turned into the golden spruce. It was said that the tree would be admired until the last generation. On January 22 1997, a 48-year-old unemployed logger named Thomas Hadwin surreptitiously felled Kiidk'yaas as a political statement against logging companies. He was later arrested, but mysteriously disappeared before he could be brought to trial. The act shocked the Haida community; the elders felt they had failed to protect the tree adequately, and some were concerned that the prophecy that the tree would be admired to the last generation meant that the present generation of Haida would be the last. However, in 1977, a group of botanists from the University of British Columbia had visited Haida Gwaii in order to take cuttings from Kiidk'yaas. They had.
Knot - itself or to some other object - the "load". Some knots are well adapted to bind to particular objects such as another rope, cleat, ring, stake or to constrict an object. Decorative knots usually bind to themselves to produce attractive patterns. For a list of knots (approx. 300) see: List of knots. Knots have been the subject of interest both for their ancient origins, common use or their mathematical implications, see knot theory. Knots are essential in many industrial, work, home or recreational activities. Even simple activities such as running a load from the hardware store to home can result in disaster if a clumsy twist in a cord passes for a knot. Truckers needing to tie down a load may use a Trucker's hitch, gaining a 2-to-1 mechanical advantage. Knots.

Kronborg - on the extreme tip of Zealand at the narrowest point of the Oresund (Danish: Øresund), the sound between Denmark and Sweden. In this part, the Sound is only four kilometres wide, hence the strategic importance of maintaining a fortress at this location. The castle has for centuries been one of the most important Renaissance castles in Northern Europe and was added to UNESCO's World Heritage Sites list on November 30 2000. The castle's story dates back to a fortress, Krogen, built in the 1420s by the Danish king, Eric of Pomerania. The reason was that the king insisted on the payment of Sound Dues by all ships wishing to enter or leave the Baltic. To help enforce his demands, he built a powerful fortress on the site where Kronborg is now.
