The Kern River, previously Rio de San Felipe, later La Porciuncula, is an Endangered, Wild and Scenic river in the U.S. state of California, approximately long.

The Kern River formerly emptied into the now dry Buena Vista Lake and Kern Lake via the Kern River Slough, and Kern Lake in turn emptied into Buena Vista Lake via the Connecting Slough at the southern end of the Central Valley. Buena Vista Lake, when overflowing, first backed up into Kern Lake and then upon rising higher drained into Tulare Lake via Buena Vista Slough and a changing series of sloughs of the Kern River. The lakes wer ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cell (music)
The 1957 ''Encyclopédie Larousse''quoted in Nattiez, Jean-Jacques (1990). ''Music and Discourse: Toward a Semiology of Music'' (''Musicologie générale et sémiologue'', 1987). Translated by Carolyn Abbate (1990). . defines a cell in music as a "small rhythmic and melodic design that can be isolated, or can make up one part of a thematic context". The cell may be distinguished from the figure or motif: the 1958 ''Encyclopédie Fasquelle'' defines a cell as "the smallest indivisible unit", unlike the motif, which may be divisible into more than one cell. "A cell can be developed, independent of its context, as a melodic fragment, it can be used as a developmental motif. It can be the source for the whole structure of the work; in that case it is called a generative cell." A rhythmic cell is a cell without melodic connotations. It may be entirely percussive or applied to different melodic segments. History The term "cell" (German: ''Keim'') derives from organic music theorists ...

Kern (soldier)
A kern was a Gaelic warrior, specifically a light infantryman, in Ireland in the late Middle Ages. Etymology The word ''kern'' is an anglicisation of the Middle Irish word ''ceithern'' or ''ceithrenn'' meaning a collection of persons, particularly fighting men. An individual member is a ''ceithernach''. The word may derive from a conjectural proto-Celtic word *''ketern''ā, ultimately from an Indo-European root meaning a chain. Kern was adopted into English as a term for a Gaelic soldier in medieval Ireland and as ''cateran'', meaning 'Highland marauder', 'bandit'. The term ''ceithernach'' is also used in modern Irish for a chess pawn. Military roles Kerns notably accompanied bands of the mercenary gallowglasses as their light infantry forces, where the gallowglass filled the need for heavy infantry. This two-tier "army" structure though should not be taken to reflect earlier Irish armies prior to the Norman invasions, as there were more locally trained soldiers filling va ...

Kern AG
KERN Global Language Services is an internationally active language service provider of German origin. History The company started out as ''KERN Internationale Handels- und Vertriebsgesellschaft mbH (KERN International Trade and Distribution Company)'' (Logo) which was founded in 1969 by Manfred and Ruthild Birte Kern in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Initially, the company focused on data processing and printed products. Linguistic and translation services came into play for the first time within the context of a printing commission. The Barbados Tourist Board intended to print a brochure in Germany and came up with the idea of creating an English edition to promote the beauty of the Caribbean island throughout Europe. Due to the success of this major pilot project, KERN changed course by placing greater emphasis on translation projects. KERN soon gained clients across Germany and Europe to such an extent that demand could no longer be met at one location. The first branch open ...
