Z shell - Z shell The Z shell (zsh) is a Unix shell. It is most similar to the Korn shell (ksh), but it also includes many features from the C shell (csh) as well. In effect, it attempts to combine the programmability and syntax of the Korn shell with useful features from the C shell, since the C shell has some serious drawbacks as a programming language.

Korn shell - Korn shell The Korn shell (ksh) is a Unix shell developed by David Korn (AT&T Bell Laboratories). It is compatible with the Bourne shell and includes many features of the C shell as well, such as a command history. For interactive use it provides the ability to edit the command line in a WYSIWYG fashion patterned after the vi and emacs editors. It also includes built-in arithmetic evaluation and advanced scripting functions similar to those used in more powerful programming languages such as awk, sed, and perl. ksh aims to respect the Shell Language Standard (POSIX 1003.2 "Shell and Utilities Language Committee"). SKsh is an AmigaDOS-specific version and pdksh is a free Unix version. External Links Korn shell home page Public Domain Korn shell (pdksh)..

UNIX shell - UNIX shell The Unix shell, also called the command line, is the traditional user interface for the Unix operating system. Users direct the operation of the computer by entering command input as text for the shell to execute. Within the Microsoft Windows suite of operating systems the equivalent program is command.com. The most generic sense of the term shell means any program that users use to type commands; it is called a "shell" because it hides the details of the underlying operating system behind the shell's interface. Similarly, graphical user interfaces for Unix, such as GNOME and KDE, are sometimes called visual shells or graphical shells. By itself, the term shell is usually associated with the command line. In Unix, any program can be the user's shell;.
Ghost in the Shell - Ghost in the Shell Ghost in the Shell (Japanese title Kokaku Kidotai 攻殻機動隊) (1996) is a Japanese science fiction manga by Masamune Shirow. In 1998, an anime was created by Mamoru Oshii, based on the manga. Set in the 21st century, Ghost in the Shell is superficially a futuristic spy thriller, dealing with the exploits of Motoko Kusanagi, a major in the covert operations organization "Section 9", which specializes in fighting technology-related crime. Kusanagi herself is almost completely machine, a human brain in an artificial body, capable of superhuman feats, and specialized for her job. The setting of Ghost in the Shell is distinctively cyberpunk similar to that of William Gibson's sprawl trilogy, but compared to Gibson, Shirow is much more interested in the ethical and philosophical.

Kaminaljuyu - Mound B. Mound A contains most of the material culture of Las Charcas, although there is evidence for a small amount of activity at Mound B during the Middle Formative. The architecture of structures found in the context of the Middle Formative are unadorned earthen blocks that would serve as foundations for single-slope pyramids and later sophisticated temples. There is one pit burial and one tomb associated with Las Charcas culture in Mound A. There is evidence the pit burial was dug into partly by later Las Charcas people to create the tomb. All that remains in the pit burial of its original fill is worn igneous rocks, quantities of coarse sherds and parts of human skull that had been cut through by the digging of the tomb. The tomb contains.
Verner's law - often retained in Greek and early Sanskrit, though in Germanic stress eventually became fixed on the initial (root) syllable of all words. The crucial diference between *pH2te:r and *bhra:te:r was therefore one of second-syllable versus first-syllable stress (cf. Sanskrit pitá: versus bhrá:ta:). The *werT- *wurd- contrast is likewise explained as due to stress on the root versus stress on the inflectional suffix (leaving the first syllable unstressed). There are also other Vernerian alternations such as illustrated by Modern German ziehen (ge)zogen 'draw' < PGmc. *tiux- *tug- < PIE *déuk- *duk- 'lead'. There is a spinoff from Verner's Law: the rule accounts also for PGmc *z as the development of PIE *s in some words. Since this *z changed to *r in the Scandinavian languages and in West Germanic (German, Dutch, English,.
Kernel - seed is all that is within the outer coat of the seed, as the edible substance contained in the shell of a nut; hence, anything included in a shell, husk, or integument. The term kernel can also mean a single seed or grain, as "a kernel of corn". The kernel of an operating system is its essential component, such as the Linux kernel. In mathematics, kernel has several different, somewhat unrelated meanings; see Kernel (mathematics), or go directly to Kernel (function), Kernel (algebra), or Kernel (category theory). This is a disambiguation page; that is, one that points to various pages that might otherwise have the same name..
Kewet - to 70 km between charges, with a top speed of 75 km/h, The chassis is made of galvanized steel and the shell is made of GRP.

Ken Saro-Wiwa - spoke out aggressively against the Nigerian military regime and the Shell Oil company for causing environmental damage in Ogoni lands. In a trial denounced by human rights groups, he was found guilty for alleged complicity in the murders of four Ogoni chiefs who were killed at a political rally in 1994. He was hanged by government forces along with eight others from the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (Mosop). These executions led to Nigeria's suspension from the Commonwealth..

Kimberella - fossil is believed to be a bilaterian organism, with bilateral symmetry. As such it is the earliest known bilaterian animal. It may represent the ancestor of all bilaterian animals including humans or may be a lophotrochozoan ancestor. It has been interpreted as a mollusc with a non mineralised shell. It may be the cause of the long trails found in the Ediacaran strata. It was first described by Glaessner & Daily in 1959. Fossils are found in the Ediacara Hills in South Australia and in the White Sea region in Russia..
Klingon - Klingon religion According to legend, Kortar, the first Klingon, along with his mate, destroyed the gods who created them and turned the heavens into ashes. This event is recounted in marriage ceremonies. Klingon values center around honor. Those who die honorably are said to join the spirit of Kahless in Sto-Vo-Kor. Dishonorable deaths hold the destiny of the underworld of Gre'thor, guarded by Fek'lhr. Gre'thor is reached by passage on the Barge of the Dead, eternally piloted by Kortar, over the River of Blood. The dead are not mourned, but celebrated, and the body is viewed as an empty shell to be disposed of. History of the Klingon Empire The Klingon Empire was founded around 500 C.E on the Klingon homeworld of Qo'noS by Kahless the Unforgettable. The Empire went through.
Ko-hyoteki class submarine - I-16tou has not yet been located. I-18tou, commanded by Shigemi Furuno and crewed by Shigenori Yokohama, was depth-charged outside the harbor in Keehi Lagoon. The wreck was discovered in 1960 and raised. Its bow (with its still-dangerous torpedoes) was cut off and resunk, and the rest of the boat shipped to Japan. There, a new bow was fabricated and the boat put on display on Eta Jima. I-20tou, commanded by Akira Hiro-o and crewed by Yoshio Katayama, was ordered to attack from a location closer to Waikiki than any of the other ko-hyoteki. Near their assigned location and before the air attack on Pearl began, the destroyer USS Ward (DD-139) reported firing on a submarine. In late August, 2002, the wreck of a ko-hyoteki was discovered with a three-inch shell hole.

A company profile that was circulated to suppliers and customers stated that he was the former marketing director of.
Kristiansund - the most densely populated cities of Norway, due to the relatively small size of the four islands on which it is built. Kristiansund is located on the north west coast of Norway, and is known as the major bacalao city of Norway. Bacalao is made of salted, dried codfish. The openness and friendliness of the Kristiansund people is well known. This due to the long trading and fish export traditions. Recent years Kristiansund has become the major oil and gas city at the northwest coast. Oil companies like Shell Oil, Statoil and Norsk Hydro have offices in Kristiansund from where they serve their offshore installations. The local newspaper is named Tidens Krav..
Velomobile - always single-passenger vehicles. They are derived from bicycles and tricycles, with the addition of a full fairing (aerodynamic shell). There are few manufacturers of velomobiles; many are homebuilt. Some models have the operator's head exposed; this has the advantage of giving the operator unobstructed vision, hearing, and some cooling, with the disadvantage of being more exposed to weather. A practical velomobile has many competing requirements. It should have as many of the following characteristics as possible. Light weight. Good visibility for the operator (clear front vision is especially important, but a 360 degree view is also desirable). Good maneuverability (steering, braking). Safety in collision and over bad roads. Good ventilation, including a windscreen defroster. This should be adjustable for more cooling in warmer weather. Many gears; a vehicle that is heavier.

Jack o'lantern - carved off and inner membranes and seeds scooped out to leave a hollow shell. Sections of a side are carved out to make a design, usually a face. It is possible, using thicker and thinner sections cut with differing tools, to create surprisingly detailed and realistic designs. A light source (traditionally a candle) is placed inside the pumpkin and the top is put back into place (often after a "chimney" is carved in the lid in order to allow heat to escape). The light illuminates the design from the inside. Jack o'lanterns are generally made for Halloween, and were originally made from turnips, beets and rutabagas. The practice of carving jack o'lanterns began in Ireland. The practice of carving Jack o'lanterns goes back to the Irish legend of Jack, a lazy.
