Based on the response of her first single, it seems like that the task has been accomplished (at least to a moderate degree) as she scored her first top-twenty hit in both Canada and the United States, it peaking relatively close on both char ...

| |  |  |  | words: Encyclopedia II - Hidden Words - HistoryThere is a Shi'a Muslim tradition called "Mushaf of Fatimah", which speaks of Fatimah upon the passing of her father, Muhammad. There are several versions of this tradition, but common to all are that the angel Gabriel appeared to her and consoled her by telling her things that she wrote in a book. According to one tradition [1] they were prophesies. The book, if it was ever physical, did not survive, and was seen to be something that the Imam Mahdi (the promised one of Shi' ...

|  |  |  | words: Encyclopedia II - Football word - CanadaIn Canada, "football" can refer to either Canadian football or American football, often differentiated as either "CFL" (from the governing Canadian Football League) or "NFL" (from the US National Football League). Because of the similarity between the games, many people in both countries do not consider the two styles of football separate sports per se, but rather different codes of the same sport. If a Canadian were to say, "My brother plays football in the US", it would be clear from context that American football is meant. Association football, which is rapidly ...

|  |  |  | words: Encyclopedia II - Word computer science - Word size choiceWhen a computer architecture is designed, the choice of a word size is of substantial importance. There are design considerations which encourage particular bit-group sizes for particular uses (e.g. for addresses), and these considerations point to different sizes for different uses. However, considerations of economy in design strongly push for one size, or a very few sizes related by multiples or fractions (submultiples) to a primary size. That ...

| |  |  |  | words: Encyclopedia II - Shina word - OriginsThe Sanskrit word Cin, for China, was brought back to China with Buddhist literature. It was transcribed into Chinese in various forms including 支那 (Zhīnà), 脂那 (Zhīnà) and 至那 (Zhìnà). Thus, the term Shina was initially created in Chinese as a translation of "Cin." This term was in turn brought to Japan with the spread of the Chinese Buddhism.
When Arai Hakuseki, a Japanese politician, interrogated an Italian missionary Sidotti in 1708, he noticed that "Cina", which Sidotti referred to China as, was iden ...

| |  |  |  | words: Encyclopedia II - Shina word - TodayThe Second Sino-Japanese War fixed the impression of the term "Shina" as offensive among Chinese people. In 1946, the Republic of China demanded that Japan cease using "Shina". Meanwhile, the great suffering experienced by China in World War II, such as the Nanjing Massacre and Unit 731, began a running tradition of anti-Japanese sentiment in China, which continues to this day. In China, the term Shina has become linked with Japanese invasion, and has been considered a derogatory and deeply offensive ethnic slur ever since. In fact, i ...
