Kim (book)
Kim is a famous children's book. It is a novel by the Nobel Prize winning English writer, Rudyard Kipling. It was first published in 1901.
The book is set after the Second Anglo-Afghan War which ended in 1881, but before the Third, probably in the period 1893–98 The novel is notable for its detailed picture of the people, culture, and varied religions of India.
The novel tells the story of a young Irish orphan, Kimball O'Hara, better known as 'Kim'. He is living in British India and brought up by his "ayah" (nursemaid) in the old Punjabi city of Lahore (now in Pakistan). Kim meets a Buddhist Lama (priest) and has many exciting adventures, traveling along the Grand Trunk Road. Some other interesting characters in this story are Mahbub Ali, Colonel Creighton, Lurgan-sahib and Hurree Chandar Mukerjee.
"Kim" is Kipling's most important work and a significant work about India and the British Raj, and the famous 'Great Game' of espionage played there between the British Empire and Russia in the 19th century. It is also his most 'enchanting' prose work and may well be compared to other great English literary classics by Geoffrey Chaucer, Shakespeare and Charles Dickens.
Maamme
Maamme (in Finnish) or Vårt land (in Swedish) are the titles of the national anthem of Finland, in the country's two official languages which both mean <nowiki>'</nowiki>Our Land<nowiki>'</nowiki> in English. In the mid-19th century, the lyrics (words) written by Johan Ludvig Runeberg in what was then known as the Grand Duchy of Finland (while under Russian occupation) were originally in Swedish, and the music—the same one used in Estonia's national anthem "Mu isamaa, mu õnn ja rõõm"—was composed by German-born musician Fredrich Pacius around the same time. In 1889, the anthem was translated into Finnish by poet Paavo Cajander.
The original text to the song has eleven verses, but nowadays only the first and last verses (in bold) are part of the national anthem. However, three verses – the first in Finnish and in Swedish, and the last in Finnish – can be sung if among the singers are Swedes and Finns together.

WebCite
WebCite is a service that archives web pages. A user asks WebCite to archive a certain URL, and then WebCite will make a copy of what the page looks like at that time. Authors use this when writing citations. If the webpage changes or is removed ("link rot"), there is still a copy on WebCite. This is very important when writing papers for academic journals or for school. Using the WebCite service is free (it costs no money.)
WebCite saves many kinds of internet content. Some of these are:
It also saves some information ("metadata") about the original content. This information includes the time it was saved, the MIME type, and how long it is. This information is useful because it can prove that the archive version is authentic.
JQuery
jQuery is a JavaScript library created to make it easier and simpler to write JavaScript and HTML. It works on most web browsers and was invented by John Resig. The first release was in January 2006 at BarCamp NYC. Today there is a team of developers working on jQuery, which is led by Dave Methvin.
Today, more than 55% of the 10,000 most-visited websites use jQuery, hence it is the most popular JavaScript library being used today. It is free and open source software and licensed under the MIT License.
jQuery's syntax is designed to make it easier to write complicated JavaScript. Some things that are easier to do using jQuery are:
It also allows developers to make their own jQuery plug-ins.
Companies like Microsoft and Nokia have said that they are going to include jQuery on their mobile platforms. In addition, Microsoft is including jQuery in its Visual Studio software to use with the ASP.NET AJAX framework and ASP.NET MVC Framework. Nokia has included it in their Web Run-Time widget development platform. jQuery has also been used in MediaWiki since version 1.16.
