Family name - Family name A family name, or surname, is that part of the name of a person that indicates to what family he or she belongs. Originally, family names indicated the occupation or estate of a person: "Robert Smith" would be short for "Robert the blacksmith"; "Mary Windsor" would be short for "Mary of Windsor.", "Mark Johns" would be short for "Mark, son of John". The word "surname" is "name" prefixed by the French word sur, which derive from Latin super. It was sometimes spelled sirname and sirename because of the paternal origin. In the 19th century, Francis Galton published a statistical study of the extinction of family names. See Galton-Watson process for an account of some of the mathematics.

United States Populist Party - political party in the United States. In some states, it was known as the People's Party. The Populist movement originated after the collapse of agriculture prices following the Panic of 1873. Farmer's alliances formed in the 1880s calling for regulation and reform in national politics. The movement reached its peak in 1892 when both the Democrats and Republicans wouldn't take up a position on the Populists' call for unlimited coinage of silver. A convention was held in Omaha, Nebraska and the Populist Party was formed in 1892. The party's platform called for the abolition of national banks, a graduated income tax, direct election of Senators, civil service reform, and a working day of eight hours. In the 1892 Presidential election, James B. Weaver received 1,027,329 votes. By 1896, the Democratic party.

Euphemius of Constantinople - discussions any other criterion but those of the Councils of Nicaea and Constantinople (ignoring the decrees of Chalcedon), carefully avoided speaking of Christ's two natures, and used ambiguous formulae that were meant to conciliate the Monophysites. Despite his efforts, the Henotikon really satisfied no one: Monophysites disliked it as much as Catholics. However, Acacius at Constantinople, Peter Mongus Patriarch of Alexandria, and Peter the Fuller Patriarch of Antioch had all signed it. Pope Felix III convened in 484 a Roman synod of sixty-seven bishops that condemned the emperor's decree, deposed and excommunicated Acacius, Peter Mongus, and Peter Fuller. Acacius retorted by striking the pope's name from his diptychs and persecuted Catholics at Constantinople. When he died, Fravitta, his successor, applied for recognition at Rome, but in vain, since he would not.
Dominoes - Each end is marked with a number of black spots (also called pips) or is blank. The spots are generally arranged as they are on six-sided dice, but because there are also blank ends having no spots there are normally seven possible faces. Standard domino sets have ends ranging from zero spots to six spots (double six set), but specialized sets might range from zero to nine (double nine set) or zero to twelve (double twelve set). The back side of a domino is generally plain. Dominoes have been made of bone, ivory, plastic, and wood, and occasionally are made of cardstock like that for playing cards. Dominoes are rather generic gaming devices--just as are playing cards. Many different games can be played with a set of dominoes. Table of contents.

One of the two military trucks hit by the rocket at the Khost base was heavily damaged. Welcomed by Abdullah, Germany's Foreign Minister, Joschka.
Agnosticism - come to be commononly used to describe those who take a doubtful or noncommittal stance on the existence of God as well as various esoteric matters of world religions. Many agnostics are people who do not believe in absolute truth. Others doubt the likelihood of various religious phenomena, and reserve judgment. Yet others believe that people can have scientific or real knowledge of phenomena, but when it comes to what lies behind phenomena there can be no evidence that entitles anyone either to deny or affirm anything. The singular characteristic of agnosticism is uncertainty or doubt.

Anonymity - recognized. Disguising one's identity may also be by choice, for legitimate reasons such as privacy and, in some occasions, personal safety. Criminals usually prefer to stay anonymous, such as when writing a letter with a threat or demand. In a large city there is more anonymity than in a village. People may consider this to be an advantage or a disadvantage. Anonymous works have no known author. They may be products of a folk tradition, handed down orally; or it may be that the data concerning the name of an author has been lost or intentionally withheld. Anonymity and the internet During the late 20th century, the internet has made anonymous publication significantly easier. Anonymous and pseudonymous remailers use cryptography to make it extremely difficult to link the real identity of.
Angel Maturino Resendiz - in July 1999. He had been known chiefly under the alias Rafael Resendez-Ramirez up until that date. Resendiz also used the name Angel Reyes Resendiz and had about thirty aliases that he used. He had killed nine people with rocks and other objects in their homes, so he could collect money for alcohol and drugs. He did rape some women, but raping was secondary to him. It took a long time for authorities to catch him, since he had no fixed address, and that he wandered around Mexico, the United States, and Canada until he was captured. Here is a list of his victims: 1. August 29, 1997, Lexington, Kentucky, Christopher Maier, 21 years old. He was a University of Kentucky student who was bludgeoned to death. His girlfriend was raped.
Big O notation - be found to be T(n) = 4n2 - 2n + 2. As n grows large, the n2 term will come to dominate, so that all other terms can be neglected. Further, the constants will depend on the precise details of the implementation and the hardware it runs on, so they should also be neglected. Big O notation captures what remains: we write T(n) = O(n2) and say that the algorithm has order of n2 time complexity. Properties If a function f(n) can be written as a finite sum of other functions, then the fastest growing one determines the order of f(n). For example . In particular, if a function may be bounded by a polynomial in n, then as n tends to infinity, one may disregard lower-order terms of the polynomial..
British honours system - systems. Certain honours are awarded at the personal discretion of the monarch. Honours are usually conferred twice a year - on the Sovereign's official birthday and at the New Year. There is usually an elaborate ceremony for bestowing honours, the most famous of which is the well-known "knighting" ceremony, in which the sovereign taps the recipient on the shoulder with a ceremonial sword.

Canonization - to the liturgical calendar and to their prayers. The process of an individual being declared a saint in the Roman Catholic Church began in the 900s, when the church in Rome demanded that saints be added to an official list to be kept in Rome. The first saint to be added to this official list was Saint Ulrich of Augsburg, who was canonized in 993. The process has evolved and bureaucratized over time into a multi-stage study of the life, writings, and after-life (miracles) of the candidate. The process involves several steps, including beatification and the last is canonization. The 1983 reform of the Roman Catholic Church's Code of Canon Law has streamlined the procedure considerably. In Eastern Orthodoxy, canonization continues to be practiced much as it was during the first.
Kai Tak International Airport - to the Kowloon location was spectacular. The aircraft was literally landing in the city, and people on the plane could see the flicker of televisions in apartment windows. The pilots used a checkerboard on a hillside to guide them to the ground. As well as the difficult and potentially dangerous landing, Hong Kong's growth stretched the airport's capacity. Moreover, the clearance requirements for aircraft takeoffs and landings enforced a limit on the height of the buildings that could be built on expensive Kowloon real estate. As a result, Hong Kong International Airport, also known as "Chek Lap Kok International Airport" was built near Lantau Island. All of the supplies were transported to Chek Lap Kok in a massive move, and planes stopped landing at Kai Tak. Its IATA Airport Code was.

Japan - the Korean peninsula. Japan is also known as "The Land of the Rising Sun." Japan comprises a chain of islands, the largest of which are, from south to north, Shikoku (四国), Kyushu (九州), Honshu (本州, the largest island), and Hokkaido (北海道).
