"The subject of K -theory takes its name from a 1957 construction of 
Alexander Grothendieck which appeared in the 
Grothendieck–Riemann–Roch theorem, his generalization of
Hirzebruch's theorem.^[2] Let X  be a smooth algebraic variety.
To each vector bundle on X , Grothendieck associates an invariant, its class .
The set of all classes on X  was called K(X)  from the German Klasse ."

“The great Confucius guided China spiritually for over 2,000 years.
The main doctrine is ' 仁 ' pronounced 'ren', meaning two people,
i.e., human relationship. Modern science has been highly competitive.
I think an injection of the human element will make our subject more
healthy and enjoyable."

"The development of ren  ( 仁 )  in early Chinese philosophy,"
By Robin Elliott Curtis, U. of B.C. Master's thesis, 2016 —

Thus, we can conclude that several different forms of
the character ren , were in existence during the
Warring States period. This shows that etymological analyses
focusing exclusively on the combination of 人 and 二 are inadequate.
It should also serve as a warning against “character fetishization,”
or giving “exaggerated status to Chinese characters in the interpretation
of Chinese language, thought, and culture.” ⁴⁶

Requiem for a Wechsler —

"Lighting for the Met is particularly challenging because —
unlike on Broadway, for instance — the shows change
on a weekly or even daily basis. One of Mr. Wechsler’s
accomplishments, Mr. Sardo said, was to develop
accurate records of the lighting schemes for each production,
so that one show could be swapped for another more efficiently.

“Before Gil was involved, there were no reference manuals as to
how that should be done,” Mr. Sardo said. 

“Someone kinda remembered how the lighting was supposed to be.”
