Vár
Vár (probably from Old Norse várar : "pledges") is a goddess in Norse Mythology. Snorri Sturluson writes in his Gylfaginning that:she harkens to the oaths and compacts made between men and women; wherefore such covenants are called 'vows' [várar]. She also takes vengeance on those who perjure themselves.—Gylfaginning (35), Brodeur's translationShe is invoked during the wedding of the giant Þrymr and his "bride" (in fact Thor):Then loud spake Thrym,the giants' leader:"Bring in the hammerto hallow the bride;On the maiden's kneeslet Mjollnir lie,That us both the handof Vor may bless."—Thrymskvitha (30), Bellows' translation

Alternating current
An alternating current (AC) is an electrical current whose magnitude and direction vary cyclically, as opposed to direct current, whose direction remains constant. The usual waveform of an AC power circuit is a sine wave, as this results in the most efficient transmission of energy. However in certain applications different waveforms are used, such as triangular or square waves.

Value at risk
In economics and finance, Value at Risk (VaR) is the maximum loss not exceeded with a given probability defined as the confidence level, over a given period of time. It is commonly used by security houses or investment banks to measure the market risk of their asset portfolios (market value at risk), however VaR is a very general concept that has broad applications. VaR is widely applied in finance for quantitative risk management for many types of risks. VaR does not give any information about the severity of loss by which it is exceeded. Other measures of risk include volatility/standard deviationsemivariance (or downside risk) and expected shortfall.

Variety (botany)
In botanical nomenclature, variety is a rank below that of species: As such, it gets a ternary name (a name in three parts). A variety will have an appearance distinct from other varieties, but will hybridize freely with those other varieties (if brought into contact). Usually varieties will be geographically separate from each other.Example: The pincushion cactus, Escobaria vivipara (Nutt.) Buxb., is a wide-ranging variable species occurring from Canada to Mexico, and found throughout New Mexico below about 2600 m. Nine varieties have been described. Where the varieties of the pincushion cactus meet, they intergrade. The variety Escobaria vivipara var. arizonica is from Arizona, while Escobaria vivipara var. neo-mexicana is from New Mexico.
