In mathematics, particularly in order theory, a pseudocomplement is one generalization of the notion of complement. In a lattice L with bottom element 0, an element x ∈ L is said to have a pseudocomplement if there exists a greatest element x* ∈ L, disjoint from x, with the property that x ∧ x* = 0. More formally, x* = max{ y ∈ L | x ∧ y = 0 }. The lattice L itself is called a pseudocomplemented lattice if every element of L is pseudocomplemented. Every pseudocomplemented lattice is necessarily bounded, i.e. it has a 1 as well. Since the pseudocomplement is unique by definition (if it exists), a pseudocomplemented lattice can be endowed with a unary operation * mapping every element to its pseudocomplement; this structure is sometimes called a p-algebra. However this latter term may have other meanings in other areas of mathematics.

LEMO is both the name of an electronic and fibre optic connector manufacturer, based in Écublens, Switzerland, and the name commonly used to refer to push-pull connectors made by that company. LEMO connectors are used in medical, industrial, audio/visual, telecommunications, military, scientific research and measurement applications. The company, founded in 1946, started as a manufacturer of contacts in noble and rare metals. The company took its name from the company founder, engineer Léon Mouttet.

LEMO ® is a registered trademark of LEMO SA. and the distinctive "chocolate plate" of the LEMO connector design is a registered trademark US Reg 2'703'464 and Europe Registration 798'106.

LEMO has set several connector standards.

The 3K.93C connector has been adopted by the American (SMPTE 304M), Japanese (ARIB BTAS-1005B) and European (EBU R100-1999) standards organisations for HDTV fibre links for the broadcast market.

The LEMO 00, a miniature push-pull 50 Ω coaxial connector, is used as front panel connectors in the Nuclear Instrumentation Module (NIM) and Computer Automated Measurement and Control (CAMAC) modular electronics standards used in instrumentation for nuclear and particle physics, where it is used as a replacement for BNC connectors in high density designs (because the LEMO connector is much smaller in size than a BNC).

Due to the modular nature of LEMO connectors, many configuration options are available across the sizes and ranges, with new connector ranges being designed and becoming available on a regular basis, such as LEMO's Tiny Trio 1.

While LEMO connectors were generally developed as proprietary designs, the legal status of many of the older designs is not clear. For example, the LEMO website itself shows a standardisation date of 1970 for the LEMO 00 model. The "chocolate plate" design of the connector's shell grip is, however, trademarked.

In July 2014, LEMO acquired Northwire Inc., a US specialty cable manufacturer of wire and multi-conductor cable and retractiles for the medical, aerospace and defense, energy, and industrial markets. The acquisition of Northwire allows LEMO to provide a complete cable-connector solution.

LEMO offers more than 75,000 combinations of products, that continues to grow through custom specific designs LEMO, and its affiliated sister companies REDEL, NORTHWIRE and COELVER, currently serve more than 100,000 customers in over 80 countries around the world.

My king of mountains! My magnificent one!
Radiant embodiment of great glory!
Flame of fierce, accumulated prowess!
Snowy diadem of my motherland!
Effulgent brow of my Bharat!
My king of mountains! My magnificent one!

Unvanquished, unfettered, free through the ages,
Sacred, righteously proud and great through the ages,
What glory have you been radiating
Through the ages in the limitless sky?
How unbroken is your eternal meditation!
Sages of sages! How unending your concentration!
Pouring into infinite space, what intricate problems
Do you seek to solve?
What intractable web of perplexities?
My king of mountains! My magnificent one!

''O sage engrossed in silent tapasya!
'' Open your eyes at least for a moment!
Our country is burning, in flames
Writhing restlessly at your feet!
The blessed Indus, the five rivers, Brahmaputra
Ganga and Yamuna - the nectar-swept streams
That flow to the blessed land
Are abundant with your melting compassion.
At the gates of that land,
You, the guardian of its borders,
Have challenged, 'You must cut off my head
Before you can trample over this land.
O pious sage, a great misfortune has fallen today
On that same land of piety!
Afflicted, the children are writhing
Bitten by countless snakes from four directions.
My king of mountains! My magnificent one!

In thermodynamics, an adiabatic wall between two thermodynamic systems does not allow heat or matter to pass across it.

In theoretical investigations, it is sometimes assumed that one of the two systems is the surroundings of the other. Then it is assumed that the work transferred is reversible within the surroundings, but in thermodynamics it is not assumed that the work transferred is reversible within the system. The assumption of reversibility in the surroundings has the consequence that the quantity of work transferred is well defined by macroscopic variables in the surroundings. Accordingly, the surroundings are sometimes said to have a reversible work reservoir.

Along with the idea of an adiabatic wall is that of an adiabatic enclosure. It is easily possible that a system has some boundary walls that are adiabatic and others that are not. When some are not adiabatic, then the system is not adiabatically enclosed, though adiabatic transfer of energy as work can occur across the adiabatic walls.

The adiabatic enclosure is important because, according to one widely cited author, Herbert Callen, "An essential prerequisite for the measurability of energy is the existence of walls that do not permit the transfer of energy in the form of heat."Callen, H.B. (1960/1985), p. 16. In thermodynamics, it is customary to assume a priori the physical existence of adiabatic enclosures, though it is not customary to label this assumption separately as an axiom or numbered law.

Birthright may refer to:

Birthright is a Dungeons & Dragons campaign setting that was first released by TSR in 1995. The setting is based on the world of Aebrynis on the continent of Cerilia, in which the players take on the role of the divinely-empowered rulers, with emphasis on the political rulership level of gameplay. In 1996, ''Birthright ''won the Origins Award for Best Roleplaying Supplement of 1995. Though it has a dedicated fan base, ''Birthright ''currently has no corporate support, unlike Forgotten Realms and Eberron.

The setting revolves around the concept of bloodlines: divine power gained by heroes and passed to their descendants. Characters with a bloodline create an aura of command known as Regency, which is measured in the game using regency points or RP. Using regency, characters acquire a domain composed of provinces and holdings. The development of these domains is as much a part of the game as development of the characters. The game uses three-month domain turns to model actions of rulers over nations in much the same way as Dungeons & Dragons uses combat rounds to simulate time to model the characters' actions in battle.

Lorena Gómez Pérez (born 12 April 1986 in Lleida) is a Spanish pop singer known artistically as Lorena.

She was the winner of TV's Spanish language's talent-search program fifth series of Operación Triunfo. In 2007, her debut album, Lorena was released under the Sony BMG label.

"Lorena" is an antebellum song with Northern origins. The lyrics were written in 1856 by Rev. Henry D. L. Webster, after a broken engagement. He wrote a long poem about his fiancée but changed her name to "Lorena", an adaptation of "Lenore" from Edgar Allan Poe's poem " The Raven." Henry Webster's friend Joseph Philbrick Webster wrote the music, and the song was first published in Chicago in 1857. It became a favorite of soldiers of both sides during the American Civil War. Members of the Western Writers of America chose it as one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time.

• Lorena (name), a given name

Lorena is a feminine given name with different origins. It can be used as an Italian, Portuguese and Spanish version of Lorraine or, alternately, as a Latin version of Lauren. As used in the United States, it may have come from the song title of a popular 1856 song by Rev. Henry D.L. Webster and Joseph Philbrick Webster, who are said to have derived the name from an anagram of the name Lenore, a character in Edgar Allan Poe's 1845 poem The Raven. In Margaret Mitchell's 1936 novel Gone with the Wind, Scarlett O'Hara's daughter with Frank Kennedy was named Ella Lorena in reference to the song Lorena. Frank G. Slaughter wrote a book called Lorena in which the character was also called Reeny hence the alternative pronunciation of Lor ee na.

The Telmarines are a people in the fictional world of Narnia created by the British author C. S. Lewis for his series The Chronicles of Narnia. Hailing from Telmar, the Telmarines are prominent in the book Prince Caspian, the second book published in the series. The word "Telmar" may have been inspired by Latin tellus "Earth" and Latin mare "sea", since before they arrived in Narnia, the Telmarines were pirates in our world.

No scene from the books takes place there, but Telmar is said to be "far beyond the Western Mountains." According to the timeline drawn up by Lewis, Calormen extended west into Telmar some three centuries after the world was first created. However, after only two years, the Calormenes in Telmar behaved so wickedly that Aslan turned them into dumb beasts, and the area became effectively unpopulated. Pirates from our world arrived in Telmar over a century later, through a rare gateway between the worlds. Prince Caspian describes how the descendants of these pirates, the Telmarines, invaded Narnia many generations later, leaving Telmar behind and suppressing Narnia's native inhabitants. This led eventually to the events related in Prince Caspian.

Telmarine leaders of Narnia in Prince Caspian are King Miraz (brother of the late Caspian IX), Queen Prunaprismia, Lord Glozelle, and Lord Sopespian. In the film version of Prince Caspian, the principal Telmarine characters are portrayed by Spanish, Latin American, and Italian actors.

The high-ranking Telmarines are shown to be corrupt, scheming individuals. Miraz had his own brother killed in order to claim the throne. Sopespian and Glozelle plot together to kill Miraz and blame it on the Narnians in order to declare all-out war on them. This plan succeeds, although the Telmarine army is defeated in the subsequent battle, ending some 300 years of oppression (according to the timeline).

Mekimi is a non-profit organization operating in Israel aimed at assisting families in financial distress so that they may regain their economic independence.

Based in Jerusalem and established in 2011, Mekimi is not a sectorial organization yet the majority of families seeking help from Mekimi come from the National Religious segment. Mekimi works with the families and professionals such as lawyers, accountants, mortgage brokers, and even marriage counselours to restructure family debt which has so far included cases between 20 000NIS to 500 000NIS. One of Mekimi's unique features is to galvanize the community around the family in financial crisis and without the community knowing specifically who is being helped. Mekimi raises money to help the family settle debts from banks, lenders and even loan sharks and also teaches them to reduce usage or altogether stop using credit cards, cheques. The service is given free of charge. In April 2014, Petah Tikva was the location of Mekimi' opening a second branch.

Yisrael Livman, formerly the vice-president of operations at Paamonim, founded Mekimi in memory of both his father who had died and a brother who had been killed, and now serves as the organization's director. Livman explains the motivation behind forming a similar organization in that while Paamonim helps the vast majority of families that approach it, it ends up turning away some hard cases which it does not have the resources to assist. Livman took on the challenge to help those extreme cases. Some of the families get stuck in the vicious downward cycle of black market moneylenders and in these cases, Livman might meet with them in order to restructure and mediate a solution to pay off the loan. Mekimi has publicly called for banks to resist tempting customers to go further into debt and for families to make do with what they have even if it means selling a car or moving to a smaller home.

The Oleo Strut was a coffeehouse in Killeen, Texas, from 1968 to 1972. Like its namesake, a shock absorber in helicopter landing gear, the Oleo Strut’s purpose was to help GIs land softly. Upon returning from Vietnam to Fort Hood, shell-shocked soldiers found solace amongst the Strut’s regulars, mostly fellow soldiers and a few civilian sympathizers. But it did not take long before shell shock turned into anger, and that anger into action. The GIs turned the Oleo Strut into one of Texas’s anti-war headquarters, publishing an underground anti-war newspaper, organizing boycotts, setting up a legal office, and leading peace marches.

The GI anti-war press was everywhere and just about every base in the world had an underground paper. Vietnam GI was the first GI paper. It was sent directly to Vietnam from the U.S. in press runs of 5,000 and they were getting spread all over the place because they would be handed from person to person. Awareness of the GI Movement was at different levels but it was still very widespread.

That was where the coffeehouse came in. The GIs did the work, for the most part, off base. At the Oleo Strut there was an office that they worked in that had a printer who would do printing for the soldiers.

Some papers would get mimeographed secretly on the military bases because the individuals working on them would be clerks that had access to the proper resources. Soldiers would hand them out off base but they would also be distributed on base. Some soldiers would go into a barracks and put them on beds and foot lockers.

An oleo strut is a pneumatic air–oil hydraulic shock absorber used on the landing gear of most large aircraft and many smaller ones. This design cushions the impacts of landing and damps out vertical oscillations.

It is undesirable for an airplane to bounce on landing - it could lead to a loss of control. The landing gear should not add to this tendency. A steel coil spring will store impact energy and then release it - the impact energy being the force of the airplane hitting the ground. An oleo strut absorbs this energy, reducing bounce.

As the strut compresses, the spring rate increases dramatically, because the air is being compressed, while the viscosity of the oil dampens the rebound movement

The largest cargo airplanes in the world, like the Antonov An-124 Ruslan, use oleo struts to allow for rough-field landing capacity with a payload of up to 150 tons. This design also cushions the airframe from the impacts of taxiing.

Sesam was a Scandinavian internet search engine developed by the media corporation Schibsted. It was available both in a Norwegian and Swedish version and was launched on 1 November 2005. By 2007 Sesam.no had 480,000 unique users and was among the 12 largest web sites in Norway. Because of Schibsteds dominant position as a newspaper owner in Norway, the search engine has specialized in news search, including the ability to search through all published articles since 1983. The search engine was developed in cooperation with Fast Search & Transfer.

In November 2006 "Sesam.se" was Sweden's leading search engine, which at the time not only permitted its users to look up information on the Internet but also gave the possibility to browse through pictures, news and the encyclopedia and much more. They later on also went into collaboration with the video service blinkx.

It has been built on top of an open sourced platform specialised for federated search solutions. SESAT, an acronym for Sesam Search Application Toolkit, is a platform that provides much of the framework and functionality required for handling parallel and pipelined searches and displaying them elegantly in a user interface, allowing engineers to focus on the index/database configuration tuning.

On 30 March 2009 the Norwegian site was closed, followed by the closure of the Swedish version on 17 June 2009.

SESAM / SQL Server is a relational database system developed by Fujitsu Technology Solutions. It runs on the BS2000/OSD mainframe. Endpoint clients running on BS2000/OSD, UNIX systems, Solaris, Linux and Microsoft Windows are possible.

Sesam is a software suite for structural and hydrodynamic analysis of ships and offshore structures. It is based on the displacement formulation of the Finite Element Method.

The first version of Sesam was developed at NTH, now Norges Teknisk-Naturvitenskapelige Universitet (NTNU Trondheim), in the mid-1960s. Sesam was bought by Det Norske Veritas, now DNV GL, in 1968 and commercialized under the name SESAM-69 in 1970. Sesam was thus one of the first major structural analysis tools based on the Finite Element Method available and when it came to capability of analysing large and complex structures it outclassed all. In the beginning it was used for analysis of ships, in particular oil tankers (for which a comparison of analysis results with measurements on the real ship was made to confirm the accuracy of the method and tool ) and liquefied natural gas ( LNG) carriers.

With the development of offshore oil fields in the North Sea in the 1970s the use of Sesam for fixed offshore platforms grew. Examples of such use are the Ekofisk concrete tank of the Ekofisk oil field, the Condeep concrete gravity base structures and the Kvitebjørn jacket in the North Sea.

In the late 1970s development of a completely new version of Sesam started. This version was released in the mid-1980s under the name SESAM'80 and is the basis for today's Sesam. During the 1990s Sesam was further enhanced with a high-level concept modelling technique together with a design-oriented and unified user interface. Analysis features for mooring systems and flexible risers were also added. The software name was at the same time simplified to merely "Sesam".

The development of the recent years with frequent new releases is focused on improving Sesam as a tool for all phases of offshore and maritime structures from design, through transportation, installation, operation and modification to life extension, requalification and finally decommissioning.

Sesam consists of several modules of which the most important are:

GeniE for modelling, analysis and code checking of beam, plate and shell structures like offshore platforms and ships.

HydroD for hydrodynamic and hydrostatic analysis of fixed and floating structures like offshore platforms and ships.

Sima for simulation of marine operations like lifting and lowering large objects in a marine environment.

DeepC for mooring and riser design as well marine operations of offshore floating structures.

Sesam is developed in Norway by DNV GL with focus on solution of structural and hydrodynamic engineering problems within the offshore and maritime industries. It has been used by the offshore and maritime industries world-wide for more than 45 years.

Etiquette ( or , ) is a code of behavior that delineates expectations for social behavior according to contemporary conventional norms within a society, social class, or group.

The French word étiquette, literally signifying a tag or label, was used in a modern sense in English around 1750. Etiquette has changed and evolved over the years.

Etiquette is the fourth studio album by Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, released in 2006. Etiquette is thought by many to have slightly abandoned the simple Lo-fi "made in a basement" sound by including a more diverse range of instruments and a marginally higher production quality than previous albums.

Etiquette is the debut album by Australian punk rock band Something with Numbers. It was released in 2004, through Below Par Records.

Etiquette refers to shared cultural norms governing individual behavior.

Have I Got News for You is a British television panel show produced by Hat Trick Productions for the BBC. It is loosely based on the BBC Radio 4 show The News Quiz, and has been regularly broadcast since 1990. The show has cultivated a reputation for sailing close to the wind in matters of libel and slander with its topical and satirical remit.

Have I Got News for You is often cited as beginning the increasing domination of panel shows in British TV comedy, and remains one of the genre's key standard-bearers. In recognition of this, the show received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2011 British Comedy Awards. It was the first time the honour had been bestowed upon a collective instead of an individual or double act. In 2016 they also received a BAFTA in the Comedy and Comedy Entertainment Programme category.

For its first 10 years, the programme was shown on BBC Two. In 2000, the BBC moved its nightly BBC One news bulletin, the BBC Nine O'Clock News, from nine o'clock to ten o'clock (now known as the BBC News at Ten) after ITV moved their long-running ten o'clock bulletin, News at Ten, to eleven o'clock. This left a gap in the schedules, and Have I Got News for You was moved as a result to 9pm on Friday nights on BBC One, where it has remained since, apart from two series in 2010 when the show was broadcast on Thursday nights.

There have been 51 series of the programme broadcast. The UKTV channel Dave carries regular repeats of the show.

Archelosauria is a clade proposed in 2014 for the grouping of turtles and archosaurs (birds and crocodilians) and their fossil relatives. There were about 1000 ultra-conserved elements in their genome that are unique to turtles and archosaurs, but are not found in lepidosaurs (tuatara, lizards and snakes). Other genome-wide analysis also supports this grouping.

Methylisothiazolinone, MIT, or MI, (sometimes erroneously called methylisothiazoline), is a powerful synthetic biocide and preservative within the group of isothiazolinones, which is used in numerous personal care products and a wide range of industrial applications.

It is a cytotoxin that may affect different types of cells. Its use for a wide range of personal products for humans, such as cosmetics, lotions, moisturizers, sanitary wipes, shampoos, and sunscreens, more than doubled during the first decade of the twenty-first century and is proving to be a concern because of sensitization and allergic reactions as well as cell and nerve damage.

Industrial manufacturing and distribution of the biocide has resulted in more severe health hazards to the humans involved in the handling of large concentrated quantities of the biocide.

Industrial applications also are quite wide ranging, from preservative and sanitizing uses to antimicrobial agents, energy production, metalworking fluids, mining, paint manufacturing, and paper manufacturing, many of which increase potential exposure to it by humans as well as organisms, both terrestrial and marine. Industrial applications in marine environments are proving to be toxic to marine life, for instance, when the effect of its now almost-universal use in boat hull paint was examined.

The 1970s (pronounced "nineteen-seventies" or "one-thousand, nine-hundred (and) seventies", commonly abbreviated as the "Seventies") was a decade of the Gregorian calendar that began on January 1, 1970 and ended on December 31, 1979. In the 21st century, historians have increasingly portrayed the 1970s as a "pivot of change" in world history focusing especially on the economic upheavals. In the Western world, social progressive values that began in the 1960s, such as increasing political awareness and economic liberty of women, continued to grow. In the United Kingdom, the 1979 elections resulted in the victory of its Conservative leader Margaret Thatcher, the first female British Prime Minister. Industrialized countries, except Japan, experienced an economic recession due to an oil crisis caused by oil embargoes by the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries. The crisis saw the first instance of stagflation which began a political and economic trend of the replacement of Keynesian economic theory with neoliberal economic theory, with the first neoliberal governments being created in Chile, where a military coup led by Augusto Pinochet took place in 1973.

Novelist Tom Wolfe coined the term "'Me' decade" in his essay " The 'Me' Decade and the Third Great Awakening", published by New York Magazine in August 1976 referring to the 1970s. The term describes a general new attitude of Americans towards atomized individualism and away from communitarianism in clear contrast with the 1960s.

In Asia, affairs regarding the People's Republic of China changed significantly following the recognition of the PRC by the United Nations, the death of Mao Zedong and the beginning of market liberalization by Mao's successors. Despite facing an oil crisis due to the OPEC embargo, the economy of Japan witnessed a large boom in this period, overtaking the economy of West Germany to become the second-largest in the world. The United States withdrew its military forces from their previous involvement in the Vietnam War which had grown enormously unpopular. In 1979, the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan which led to an ongoing war for ten years.

The 1970s saw an initial increase in violence in the Middle East as Egypt and Syria declared war on Israel, but in the late 1970s, the situation in the Middle East was fundamentally altered when Egypt signed the Egyptian–Israeli Peace Treaty. Anwar El Sadat, President of Egypt, was instrumental in the event and consequently became extremely unpopular in the Arab World and the wider Muslim world. He was assassinated in 1981. Political tensions in Iran exploded with the Iranian Revolution in 1979 which overthrew the Pahlavi dynasty and established an Islamic republic of Iran under the leadership of the Ayatollah Khomeini.

Africa saw further decolonization in the decade, with Angola and Mozambique gaining their independence in 1975 from the Portuguese Empire after the restoration of democracy in Portugal. The continent was however plagued by endemic military coups, with the long-reigning Emperor of Ethiopia Haile Selassie being removed, civil wars and famine.

The economies of much of the developing world continued to make steady progress in the early-1970s, because of the Green Revolution. They might have thrived and become stable in the way that Europe recovered after World War II through the Marshall Plan; however, their economic growth was slowed by the oil crisis but boomed immediately after.

Lancashire wrestling is a historic wrestling style from Lancashire in England. Many consider it to be partially the origin of catch wrestling, professional and amateur wrestling.

The style included groundwork and had the reputation of being an extremely fierce and violent sport. Sources show that there were some rules trying to safeguard the wrestlers from serious injury. For instance, there was a ban on breaking an opponent's bones.

In the counties to the north, Cumberland and Westmorland wrestling developed with rules designed to minimise injury to the participants.

Damatria is a village on the Greek island of Rhodes, located on the west coast, about 20 km far from the capital. It is a part of the Municipality of Petaloudes. It has a population of only 489 people.

Damatria is believed to be the only village of Rhodes dating back to the Dorian era in the 11th century B.C. Excavations in the surrounding area have confirmed continuous habitation for over 3,000 years. Historians believe this ancient settlement was actually named after the sanctuary of the Goddess Dimitra that had been built in the area.

Most of the settlement is typically traditional, bar a few exceptions of scattered modern, multi-level homes that belong to prosperous Damatrians who prefer to continue living in their village of birth. A few natural springs dotted here and there, a Second World War memorial in the form of the Italian headquarters, some historic churches and quite a number of ancient ruins and sites, complete the list of attractions to this green and fertile village.

Salvage Corps came into existence in the 19th century. With the growth of cities, fires and insurance, underwriters in several cities established fire fighting services to reduce losses. As municipal fire brigades became more competent in the 20th century, the private fire companies cut back their services and emphasised salvaging property after the regular firemen had done their job.

Most were disbanded in the late 20th century including:

• Glasgow Salvage Corps (Raised: November 1873 – Disbanded: 1 April 1984)
• Liverpool Salvage Corps (1842–1984)
• London Salvage Corps (1865–1982)
• New York Fire Patrol (1839–2006)

• Underwriters Salvage Corps (Cincinnati, Ohio)
• Underwriters Salvage Corps (St Louis, Missouri) (1873–1955)

The organs of Bojanus or Bojanus organs are excretory glands that serve the function of kidneys in some of the Mollusca. In other words, these are metanephridia that are found in some mollusks, for example in the bivalves. Some other molluscs have another type of organ for excretion called Keber's organ.

The Bojanus organ is named after Ludwig Heinrich Bojanus, who first described it.

"K-K-K-Katy" was a popular World War I-era song written by Canadian American composer Geoffrey O'Hara in 1917 and published in 1918. The sheet music advertised it as "The Sensational Stammering Song Success Sung by the Soldiers and Sailors", as well as "The Sensational New Stammering Song" The song was first played at a garden party fund-raiser for the Red Cross in Collins Bay on Lake Ontario. O'Hara was from Chatham in Ontario and taught music at Ontario University.

The inspiration for the "Katy" of the song was Katherine Craig Richardson of Kingston (who did not stutter). She was a friend of O'Hara's sister and her parents recall O'Hara writing the song in their living room.

Lyrics:

Jimmy was a soldier brave and bold

Katy was a maid with hair of gold

Like an act of fate Kate was standing at the gate

Watching all the boys while on parade

Kate smiled, with a twinkle in her eye

Jim said, m-m-m-meet ya by and by

That night at eight Jim was at the garden gate

Stuttering this song to K-K-K-Kate (chorus)

CHORUS:

K-K-K-Katy, beautiful Katy

You're the only g-g-g-girl that I adore

When the m-m-m-moon shines

Over the c-c-c-cowshed

I'll be waiting at the k-k-k-kitchen door

K-K-K-Katy, beautiful Katy

You're the only g-g-g-girl that I adore

When the m-m-m-moon shines

Over the c-c-c-cowshed

I'll be waiting at the k-k-k-kitchen door

No one ever looked so nice and neat

No one could be just as cute and sweet

That's what Jimmy thought

When the wedding ring he bought

Soon he'll go to France, the foe to meet

Jimmy thought he'd like to take a chance

See if he could make the Kaiser dance

Stepping to a tune all about the silv'ry moon

This is what they'll hear in far off France (chorus)
