Kaspar Hauser - read and write. He also subjected him to homeopathic treatments and encouraged him to write a diary. He appeared to flourish in this environment. On October 17 1829, a hooded man tried to kill Hauser with an axe but managed only to wound his forehead. Alarmed officials called for a police escort and transferred him to the care of Johann Biberbach and six months later to Baron von Tucher. Tucher found him employment as a copier in the local law office. The apparent assassination also fuelled rumors about his connection to the house of Baden. British Lord, Philip Henry Stanhope took an interest in him and apparently tried to win his trust by gifts. He also tried to gain custody of him. He transferred Hauser to Ansbach to the care of.
Kara-Khanid Khanate - had the Kara-Khanids act as its tax-collectors and administrators on Muslim sedentary populations (the same practice was adopted by the Golden Horde on the Russian Steppes). The Kara-Khitans even incorporated Kara-Khanid Muslim generals such as Muhammad Tai, who surrendered to the Naiman usurper Kushluk at the end of the Kara-Khitan Dynasty. Kushlug, the last ruler of the Kara-Khitan Dynasty, was especially harsh on the Muslim populations under his suzereignty. He went so far as to forcing conversions from Islam to Buddhism, the dominant religion of the ruling Kara-Khitans. The elite Kara-Khitans and their Naiman soldiers, on an interesting note, are very often Nestorian Christians, as suggested by the Syriac names of the Gur-Khans(Emperors), who at the same time had confucian titles and patronized Buddhist establishments. Kushluk's Naimans were perhaps heavily Nestorian.
Karabiner 98k - rounds of 7.9mm on a stripper clip. It was the primary German infantry rifle in both world wars, and was noted for its excellent accuracy and effective range of 800 meters. For this reason it continued to be used with a telescopic sight as a sniper rifle, after it was obsolete as a standard weapon. The 98k had the same disadvantages as all other turn of the century military rifles, that being bulky and heavy and slow rate of fire (mainly due to its bolt-action mechanism). It was also designed to be used with a bayonet and to fire special grenades. A version with a folding stock was introduced in 1941 to be used by airborne marksmen. Towards the end of the war the 98K was being phased out in favor.
Vertebrate - system that mostly consists of paired masses, as well as a central nervous system which is partly located inside the backbone. The internal skeleton which defines vertebrates consists of cartilage or bone, or in some cases both. The skeleton provides support to the organism during the period of growth. For this reason vertebrates can achieve larger sizes than invertebrates, and on average vertebrates are in fact larger. The skeleton of most vertebrates, that is excluding the most primitive ones, consists of a skull, the vertebral column and two pairs of limbs. In some higher forms of vertebrates, one or both of these pairs of limbs may be absent, such as in snakes or whales. These limbs have been lost in the course of evolution. The skull is thought to have facilitated.
Katharevousa - contained archaicised forms of modern words, purged of 'non-Greek' vocabulary from other European languages and Turkish and a simplified, archaic grammar. The purpose of its creation was to mediate the struggle between the 'archaists' (those scholars who preferred Ancient Greek to Modern) and the 'modernists' (those who preferred Modern Greek). One reason the Archaists preferred Ancient Greek was that Modern Greek includes many Latin, Italian and Turkish loan words; and Greece then was a part of the Ottoman Empire). The name Katharevousa means more or less 'clean one', implying that it is a clean form of Greek, without foreign influences, maybe as it would hypothetically have evolved from Ancient Greek had there been no foreign influence. Soon after the Second World War a long-lasting political debate became associated with the language.
Katar (novel) - help in an investigation of a case of mysterious deaths. Several victims became mad and committed suicide during their vacation in Napoli, apparently without reason.

Kavka's toxin puzzle - It then occurs to you that you won't even have to become sick in order to win the money. All you have to do is to intend to drink the toxin. You don't actually have to carry out your intention. But now if you know ahead of time that you don't actually have to drink the toxin, then you can't really intend to drink it. So you tell yourself you really do have to drink it. But then if at midnight you really did intend to drink the toxin, and you got the million, then come the next day you would no longer have any reason to drink it: you've already been paid and drinking the toxin would make you unnecessarily sick. Is there any way for you to win the.
Keynesian economics - the system produced extra wealth, it could be either saved for future consumption or invested in future production, and there was a system of supply and demand that affected this choice too. The interest rate on savings behaved like a price, equalizing the supply and demand of investment funds. Even in the worst years of the Depression, this theory defined economic collapse as the loss of incentives to produce. The proper solution was to reduce the price of labor to subsistence levels, causing prices to fall so that buying (employment) would pick up. Funds not paid out in wages would be available for investment, perhaps in other sectors. Plant closures and layoffs were a necessary medicine. In Keynes' view, this analysis offered no way out of a system-wide collapse. Lowering wages.
Ketone bodies - energy. Most tissues obtain the bulk of their energy from glucose. This is particularly important for the brain. If glucose levels are low, such as during starvation, the brain uses ketone bodies as an energy source instead. The levels of acetone are much lower than those of the other two types of ketone bodies. It cannot be converted back to acetyl CoA and is excreted in the urine and breathed out. Both acetoacetate and beta-hydroxybutyrate are acidic, and if levels of ketone bodies are too high, the pH of the blood falls, resulting in a condition known as ketoacidosis. This happens in untreated Type I diabetes (see diabetic ketoacidosis) and also in alcoholics after binge drinking and subsequent starvation (see alcoholic ketoacidosis). The ultimate reason for ketoacidosis in these cases is.
Zaza - eastern Turkey. Their language (Zazaki) is closely related to the Kurdish language. For this reason the Zaza are often referred to as a subgroup of the Kurds, which is not correct and heavily opposed by themselves. Zaza is also a name that appears in the Bible meaning "belonging to all" or "plenty" See Also: List_of_Biblical_names External Links Zaza Bible Reference.
Ventriloquism - perhaps the Oracle of Delphi, were ventriloquists, or as they were once called, "Belly Talkers." The version of ventriloquism with which most people are familiar, ventriloquism as entertainment, began in the days of Vaudeville in the late 19th century. The vaudeville acts did not concentrate on humor as much as on demonstrating the ventriloquist's ability to deceive the audience and his skill in switching voices. For this reason, many of the performers used multiple figures, switching quickly from one voice to another. Jules Vernon was one of the more famous American vaudeville ventriloquists who used multiple figures. Perhaps the most famous vaudeville ventriloquist, however, The Great Lester, used only one figure, Frank Byron, Jr, and it is the Great Lester's success which paved the way for the one ventriloquist with one.
King James Version of the Bible - from every bishop to the rest of the clergy, admonishing them of this translation in hand, and to move and charge as many as being skillful in the tongues, have taken pains in that kind, to send their particular observations to the company, either at Westminster, Cambridge, or Oxford, according as it was directed before the king's letter to the archbishop. The directors in each company to be deans of Westminster and Chester, and the king's professors in Hebrew and Greek in the two universities. These translations to be used when they agree better with the text than the Bishop's Bible, viz. Tyndale's, Coverdale's, Matthew's, Whitchurch, Geneva. The King James Version translators worked in several committees, based at Oxford University, Cambridge University, and Westminster. They worked on certain parts separately; then.

There is some question whether the latter kings can provide a reliable synchronism for his reign: Al-Biruni and Bar-Hebraeus mention.
Kitniyot - According to rabbinic law, the only way in which "Kosher le-Pesach" (Passover-approved) food can be made from these foodstuffs is by quickly baking goods made from them at a very high temperature, in order to prevent any rising or nautural leavening. The reason for the prohibition of kitniyot are complex. In European countries where Ashkenazi Jews lived, it was often too difficult to distinguish between meal ground from chametz and meal ground from kitniyot; further, these food products in the market were stored nearby and sometimes mixed together to a small degree. Jewish law is extraordinarily stringent about the prohibition against even the slightest amount of chametz in the house during Passover, much more so than the regular laws of keeping kosher. Thus a tradition developed to avoid these products altogether,.
Killer application - limited number of platforms in the world, and the vast majority of the world runs on the Windows platform. It is unlikely that there will ever be another killer app that will cause people to purchase an entirely new machine. There have been a number of new uses of the term however. For instance Mosaic is generally credited with causing the majority of computer users to join the internet, while others argue that e-mail was the reason..
Kitsch - his famous essay Avant-Garde and Kitsch. One of his more controversial claims was that kitsch was equivalent to Academic art: "All kitsch is academic, and conversely, all that is academic is kitsch." He argued this based on the fact that Academic art, such as that in the 19th century, was heavily centered in rules and formulations that were taught and tried to make art into something learnable and easily expressible. He later came to withdraw from his position of equating the two, as it became heavily criticized. While its true that some Academic art might have been kitsch, not all of it, and not all kitsch is academic. Many theorists over time have also linked kitsch to totalitarianism. The Czech writer Milan Kundera, in his book The Unbearable Lightness of Being.
Kiloquad - Aside from this, the actual amount of memory in 1 kiloquad had not been defined meaningfully (as in terms of bytes) by the creators of the series. The reason the term was invented in the first place was to mask the data capacity of the futuristic computers of Star Trek, in anticipation that an actual description might appear foolish in the not-to-distant future as a result of advancing computer technology in the real world. Later on, however, many r.a.st.tech contributors have converged on 1 kiloquad being equal to 1000 (kilo) * 1 quadrillion bytes, which becomes approximately equal to 1 petabyte or 1 billion gigabytes..
