Alkali soil \Alkali soil\       Any one of various soils found in arid and semiarid regions,       containing an unusual amount of soluble mineral salts which       effloresce in the form of a powder or crust (usually white)       in dry weather following rains or irrigation. The basis of       these salts is mainly soda with a smaller amount of potash,       and usually a little lime and magnesia. Two main classes of       alkali are commonly distinguished: {black alkali}, which may       be any alkaline carbonate, but which practically consists of       sodium carbonate (sal soda), which is highly corrosive and       destructive to vegetation; and {white alkali}, characterized       by the presence of sodium sulphate (Glauber's salt), which is       less injurious to vegetation. Black alkali is so called       because water containing it dissolves humus, forming a       dark-colored solution which, when it collects in puddles and       evaporates, produces characteristic black spots.

Stearin and palmitin prevail in                the solid oils and fats, and olein in the liquid oils.                Mutton tallow, beef tallow, and lard are rich in                stearin, human fat and palm oil in palmitin, and sperm                and cod-liver oils in olein. In making soaps, the acids                leave the glycerin and unite with the soda or potash.          {Animal oil}, {Bone oil}, {Dipple's oil}, etc. (Old Chem.), a             complex oil obtained by the distillation of animal             substances, as bones. See {Bone oil}, under {Bone}.          {Drying oils}, {Essential oils}. (Chem.) See under {Drying},             and {Essential}.          {Ethereal oil of wine}, {Heavy oil of wine}. (Chem.)

See under {Fixed}.          {Oil bag} (Zo[94]l.), a bag, cyst, or gland in animals,             containing oil.          {Oil beetle} (Zo[94]l.), any beetle of the genus {Meloe} and             allied genera. When disturbed they emit from the joints of             the legs a yellowish oily liquor. Some species possess             vesicating properties, and are used instead of             cantharides.          {Oil box}, [or] {Oil cellar} (Mach.), a fixed box or             reservoir, for lubricating a bearing; esp., the box for             oil beneath the journal of a railway-car axle.          {Oil cake}. See under {Cake}.          {Oil cock}, a stopcock connected with an oil cup. See {Oil             cup}.          {Oil color}.       (a) A paint made by grinding a coloring substance in oil.       (b) Such paints, taken in a general sense.

It is also applied                metaphorically to Satan.                            Thou breakest the heads of the dragons in the                         waters.                                          -- Ps. lxxiv.                                                                               13.                            Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder; the                         young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample                         under feet.                                    -- Ps. xci.                                                                               13.                            He laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent,                         which is the Devil and Satan, and bound him a                         thousand years.                              --Rev. xx. 2.          2.

A fabulous winged creature, sometimes borne as a             charge in a coat of arms.          Note: Dragon is often used adjectively, or in combination, in                the sense of relating to, resembling, or characteristic                of, a dragon.          {Dragon arum} (Bot.), the name of several species of             {Aris[91]ma}, a genus of plants having a spathe and             spadix.

The ascending node of a planet, indicated,                   chiefly in almanacs, by the symbol [?]. The deviation                   from the ecliptic made by a planet in passing from one                   node to the other seems, according to the fancy of                   some, to make a figure like that of a dragon, whose                   belly is where there is the greatest latitude; the                   intersections representing the head and tail; -- from                   which resemblance the denomination arises. --Encyc.                   Brit.          {Dragon shell} (Zo[94]l.), a species of limpet.          {Dragon's skin}, fossil stems whose leaf scars somewhat             resemble the scales of reptiles; -- a name used by miners             and quarrymen. --Stormonth.          {Dragon's tail} (Astron.), the descending node of a planet,             indicated by the symbol [?].

The organ of hearing; the external ear.          Note: In man and the higher vertebrates, the organ of hearing                is very complicated, and is divisible into three parts:                the external ear, which includes the pinna or auricle                and meatus or external opening; the middle ear, drum,                or tympanum; and the internal ear, or labyrinth. The                middle ear is a cavity connected by the Eustachian tube                with the pharynx, separated from the opening of the                external ear by the tympanic membrane, and containing a                chain of three small bones, or ossicles, named malleus,                incus, and stapes, which connect this membrane with the                internal ear. The essential part of the internal ear                where the fibers of the auditory nerve terminate, is                the membranous labyrinth, a complicated system of sacs                and tubes filled with a fluid (the endolymph), and                lodged in a cavity, called the bony labyrinth, in the                periotic bone. The membranous labyrinth does not                completely fill the bony labyrinth, but is partially                suspended in it in a fluid (the perilymph). The bony                labyrinth consists of a central cavity, the vestibule,                into which three semicircular canals and the canal of                the cochlea (spirally coiled in mammals) open. The                vestibular portion of the membranous labyrinth consists                of two sacs, the utriculus and sacculus, connected by a                narrow tube, into the former of which three membranous                semicircular canals open, while the latter is connected                with a membranous tube in the cochlea containing the                organ of Corti. By the help of the external ear the                sonorous vibrations of the air are concentrated upon                the tympanic membrane and set it vibrating, the chain                of bones in the middle ear transmits these vibrations                to the internal ear, where they cause certain delicate                structures in the organ of Corti, and other parts of                the membranous labyrinth, to stimulate the fibers of                the auditory nerve to transmit sonorous impulses to the                brain.          2. The sense of hearing; the perception of sounds; the power             of discriminating between different tones; as, a nice ear             for music; -- in the singular only.                         Songs . . . not all ungrateful to thine ear.                                                                               --Tennyson.          3. That which resembles in shape or position the ear of an             animal; any prominence or projection on an object, --             usually one for support or attachment; a lug; a handle;             as, the ears of a tub, a skillet, or dish. The ears of a             boat are outside kneepieces near the bow. See Illust. of             {Bell}.          4.

See       {Yellow}, and cf. {Gild}, v. t.]       1. (Chem.) A metallic element, constituting the most precious             metal used as a common commercial medium of exchange. It             has a characteristic yellow color, is one of the heaviest             substances known (specific gravity 19.32), is soft, and             very malleable and ductile. It is quite unalterable by             heat, moisture, and most corrosive agents, and therefore             well suited for its use in coin and jewelry. Symbol Au             (Aurum). Atomic weight 196.7.          Note: Native gold contains usually eight to ten per cent of                silver, but often much more. As the amount of silver                increases, the color becomes whiter and the specific                gravity lower. Gold is very widely disseminated, as in                the sands of many rivers, but in very small quantity.                It usually occurs in quartz veins (gold quartz), in                slate and metamorphic rocks, or in sand and alluvial                soil, resulting from the disintegration of such rocks.                It also occurs associated with other metallic                substances, as in auriferous pyrites, and is combined                with tellurium in the minerals petzite, calaverite,                sylvanite, etc. Pure gold is too soft for ordinary use,                and is hardened by alloying with silver and copper, the                latter giving a characteristic reddish tinge. [See                {Carat}.] Gold also finds use in gold foil, in the                pigment purple of Cassius, and in the chloride, which                is used as a toning agent in photography.          2.

Storm is violent agitation, a                   commotion of the elements by wind, etc., but not                   necessarily implying the fall of anything from the                   clouds. Hence, to call a mere fall or rain without                   wind a storm is a departure from the true sense of the                   word. A tempest is a sudden and violent storm, such as                   those common on the coast of Italy, where the term                   originated, and is usually attended by a heavy rain,                   with lightning and thunder.                               Storms beat, and rolls the main; O! beat those                            storms, and roll the seas, in vain. --Pope.                               What at first was called a gust, the same Hath                            now a storm's, anon a tempest's name. --Donne.

Called also {canary parrot}, {scallop parrot},             {shell parrot}, and {undulated parrot}.          {Zebra poison} (Bot.), a poisonous tree ({Euphorbia arborea})             of the Spurge family, found in South Africa. Its milky             juice is so poisonous that zebras have been killed by             drinking water in which its branches had been placed, and             it is also used as an arrow poison. --J.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Zorilla \Zo*ril"la\, n. [Sp. zorilla, zorillo, dim. of zorra,       zorro, a fox: cf. F. zorille.] (Zo[94]l.)       Either one of two species of small African carnivores of the       genus {Ictonyx} allied to the weasels and skunks. [Written       also {zoril}, and {zorille}.]          Note: The best-known species ({Ictonyx zorilla}) has black                shiny fur with white bands and spots. It has anal                glands which produce a very offensive secretion,                similar to that of the skunk. It feeds upon birds and                their eggs and upon small mammals, and is often very                destructive to poultry. It is sometimes tamed by the                natives, and kept to destroy rats and mice. Called also                {mariput}, {Cape polecat}, and {African polecat}. The                name is sometimes erroneously applied to the American                skunk.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
barfmail n.   Multiple {bounce message}s accumulating to the    level of serious annoyance, or worse.   The sort of thing that    happens when an inter-network mail gateway goes down or wonky.
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
email /ee'mayl/   (also written `e-mail' and `E-mail') 1. n.    Electronic mail automatically passed through computer networks    and/or via modems over common-carrier lines.   Contrast {snail-mail},    {paper-net}, {voice-net}.   See {network address}.   2. vt. To send    electronic mail.          Oddly enough, the word `emailed' is actually listed in the OED;    it means "embossed (with a raised pattern) or perh. arranged in a    net or open work".   A use from 1480 is given. The word is probably    derived from French `e'maille'' (enameled) and related to Old French    `emmailleu"re' (network).   A French correspondent tells us that in    modern French, `email' is a hard enamel obtained by heating special    paints in a furnace; an `emailleur' (no final e) is a craftsman who    makes email (he generally paints some objects (like, say, jewelry)    and cooks them in a furnace).          There are numerous spelling variants of this word.   In Internet    traffic up to 1995, `email' predominates, `e-mail' runs a    not-too-distant second, and `E-mail' and `Email' are a distant third    and fourth.
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
evil adj.   As used by hackers, implies that some system,    program, person, or institution is sufficiently maldesigned as to be    not worth the bother of dealing with.   Unlike the adjectives in the    {cretinous}/{losing}/{brain-damaged} series, `evil' does not imply    incompetence or bad design, but rather a set of goals or design    criteria fatally incompatible with the speaker's.   This usage is    more an esthetic and engineering judgment than a moral one in the    mainstream sense.   "We thought about adding a {Blue Glue} interface    but decided it was too evil to deal with."   "{TECO} is neat, but it    can be pretty evil if you're prone to typos."   Often pronounced with    the first syllable lengthened, as /eeee'vil/.   Compare {evil and    rude}.
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
fossil n.   1. In software, a misfeature that becomes    understandable only in historical context, as a remnant of times    past retained so as not to break compatibility.   Example: the    retention of octal as default base for string escapes in {C}, in    spite of the better match of hexadecimal to ASCII and modern    byte-addressable architectures.   See {dusty deck}.   2. More    restrictively, a feature with past but no present utility.   Example:    the force-all-caps (LCASE) bits in the V7 and {BSD} Unix tty driver,    designed for use with monocase terminals.   (In a perversion of the    usual backward-compatibility goal, this functionality has actually    been expanded and renamed in some later {USG Unix} releases as the    IUCLC and OLCUC bits.)   3. The FOSSIL (Fido/Opus/Seadog Standard    Interface Level) driver specification for serial-port access to    replace the {brain-dead} routines in the IBM PC ROMs.   Fossils are    used by most MS-DOS {BBS} software in preference to the `supported'    ROM routines, which do not support interrupt-driven operation or    setting speeds above 9600; the use of a semistandard FOSSIL library    is preferable to the {bare metal} serial port programming otherwise    required.   Since the FOSSIL specification allows additional    functionality to be hooked in, drivers that use the {hook} but do    not provide serial-port access themselves are named with a modifier,    as in `video fossil'.
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
NIL /nil/   No.   Used in reply to a question, particularly one    asked using the `-P' convention.   Most hackers assume this derives    simply from LISP terminology for `false' (see also {T}), but NIL as    a negative reply was well-established among radio hams decades    before the advent of LISP.   The historical connection between early    hackerdom and the ham radio world was strong enough that this may    have been an influence.
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
pig-tail   [radio hams] A short piece of cable with two    connectors on each end for converting between one connector type and    another.   Common pig-tails are 9-to-25-pin serial-port converters    and cables to connect PCMCIA network cards to an RJ-45 network cable.
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
P-mail n.   [rare] Physical mail, as opposed to {email}.    Synonymous with {snail-mail}, but much less common.
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
SAIL /sayl/, not /S-A-I-L/ n.   1. The Stanford Artificial    Intelligence Lab.   An important site in the early development of    LISP; with the MIT AI Lab, BBN, CMU, XEROX PARC, and the Unix    community, one of the major wellsprings of technical innovation and    hacker-culture traditions (see the {{WAITS}} entry for details).    The SAIL machines were shut down in late May 1990, scant weeks after    the MIT AI Lab's ITS cluster was officially decommissioned.   2. The    Stanford Artificial Intelligence Language used at SAIL (sense 1).    It was an Algol-60 derivative with a coroutining facility and some    new data types intended for building search trees and association    lists.
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
snail vt.   To {snail-mail} something. "Snail me a copy of those    graphics, will you?"
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
snail-mail n.   Paper mail, as opposed to electronic.   Sometimes    written as the single word `SnailMail'.   One's postal address is,    correspondingly, a `snail address'.   Derives from earlier coinage    `USnail' (from `U.S. Mail'), for which there have even been parody    posters and stamps made.   Also (less commonly) called `P-mail', from    `paper mail' or `physical mail'.   Oppose {email}.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
electronic mail          (e-mail) Messages automatically passed from one       computer user to another, often through computer {networks}       and/or via {modems} over telephone lines.          A message, especially one following the common {RFC 822}       {standard}, begins with several lines of {headers}, followed       by a blank line, and the body of the message.   Most e-mail       systems now support the {MIME} {standard} which allows the       message body to contain "{attachments}" of different kinds       rather than just one block of plain {ASCII} text.   It is       conventional for the body to end with a {signature}.          Headers give the name and {electronic mail address} of the       sender and recipient(s), the time and date when it was sent       and a subject.   There are many other headers which may get       added by different {message handling systems} during delivery.          The message is "composed" by the sender, usually using a       special program - a "{Mail User Agent}" (MUA).   It is then       passed to some kind of "{Message Transfer Agent}" (MTA) - a       program which is responsible for either delivering the message       locally or passing it to another MTA, often on another {host}.       MTAs on different hosts on a network often communicate using       {SMTP}.   The message is eventually delivered to the       recipient's {mailbox} - normally a file on his computer - from       where he can read it using a mail reading program (which may       or may not be the same {MUA} as used by the sender).          Contrast {snail-mail}, {paper-net}, {voice-net}.          The form "email" is also common, but is less suggestive of the       correct pronunciation and derivation than "e-mail".   The word       is used as a noun for the concept ("Isn't e-mail great?", "Are       you on e-mail?"), a collection of (unread) messages ("I spent       all night reading my e-mail"), and as a verb meaning "to send       (something in) an e-mail message" ("I'll e-mail you (my       report)").   The use of "an e-mail" as a count noun for an       e-mail message, and plural "e-mails", is now (2000) also well       established despite the fact that "mail" is definitely a mass       noun.          Oddly enough, the word "emailed" is actually listed in the       Oxford English Dictionary.   It means "embossed (with a raised       pattern) or arranged in a net work".   A use from 1480 is       given.   The word is derived from French "emmailleure",       network.   Also, "email" is German for enamel.          {The story of the first e-mail message       (http://www.pretext.com/mar98/features/story2.htm)}.          (2002-07-14)

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
evil          As used by a {hacker}, implies that some system, program,       person, or institution is sufficiently maldesigned as to be       not worth the bother of dealing with.   Unlike the adjectives       in the cretinous, {losing}, {brain-damaged} series, "evil"       does not imply incompetence or bad design, but rather a set of       goals or design criteria fatally incompatible with the       speaker's.   This usage is more an aesthetic and engineering       judgment than a moral one in the mainstream sense.   "We       thought about adding a {Blue Glue} interface but decided it       was too evil to deal with."   "{TECO} is neat, but it can be       pretty evil if you're prone to typos."   Often pronounced with       the first syllable lengthened, as /eeee'vil/.          Compare {evil and rude}.          [{Jargon File}]          (1994-12-12)

FOSIL          {Fredette's Operating System Interface Language}
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
fossil          1. In software, a misfeature that becomes understandable only       in historical context, as a remnant of times past retained so       as not to break compatibility.   Example: the retention of       {octal} as default base for string escapes in {C}, in spite of       the better match of {hexadecimal} to ASCII and modern       byte-addressable architectures.   See {dusty deck}.          2. More restrictively, a feature with past but no present       utility.   Example: the force-all-caps (LCASE) bits in the V7       and {BSD} Unix tty driver, designed for use with monocase       terminals.   (In a perversion of the usual       backward-compatibility goal, this functionality has actually       been expanded and renamed in some later {USG Unix} releases as       the IUCLC and OLCUC bits.)          3. The FOSSIL (Fido/Opus/Seadog Standard Interface Level)       driver specification for serial-port access to replace the       {brain-dead} routines in the IBM PC ROMs.   Fossils are used by       most {MS-DOS} {BBS} software in preference to the "supported"       ROM routines, which do not support interrupt-driven operation       or setting speeds above 9600; the use of a semistandard FOSSIL       library is preferable to the {bare metal} serial port       programming otherwise required.   Since the FOSSIL       specification allows additional functionality to be hooked in,       drivers that use the {hook} but do not provide serial-port       access themselves are named with a modifier, as in "video       fossil".          [{Jargon File}]

Coat of mail       the rendering of a Hebrew word meaning "glittering" (1 Sam.       17:5, 38). The same word in the plural form is translated       "habergeons" in 2 Chr. 26:14 and Neh. 4:16. The "harness" (1       Kings 22:34), "breastplate" (Isa. 59:17), and "brigandine" (Jer.       46:4), were probably also corselets or coats of mail. (See {ARMOUR}.)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Council       spoken of counsellors who sat in public trials with the governor       of a province (Acts 25:12).                The Jewish councils were the Sanhedrim, or supreme council of       the nation, which had subordinate to it smaller tribunals (the       "judgment," perhaps, in Matt. 5:21, 22) in the cities of       Palestine (Matt. 10:17; Mark 13:9). In the time of Christ the       functions of the Sanhedrim were limited (John 16:2; 2 Cor.       11:24). In Ps. 68:27 the word "council" means simply a company       of persons. (R.V. marg., "company.")                In ecclesiastical history the word is used to denote an       assembly of pastors or bishops for the discussion and regulation       of church affairs. The first of these councils was that of the       apostles and elders at Jerusalem, of which we have a detailed       account in Acts 15.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Devil       (Gr. diabolos), a slanderer, the arch-enemy of man's spiritual       interest (Job 1:6; Rev. 2:10; Zech. 3:1). He is called also "the       accuser of the brethen" (Rev. 12:10).                In Lev. 17:7 the word "devil" is the translation of the Hebrew       _sair_, meaning a "goat" or "satyr" (Isa. 13:21; 34:14),       alluding to the wood-daemons, the objects of idolatrous worship       among the heathen.                In Deut. 32:17 and Ps. 106:37 it is the translation of Hebrew       _shed_, meaning lord, and idol, regarded by the Jews as a       "demon," as the word is rendered in the Revised Version.                In the narratives of the Gospels regarding the "casting out of       devils" a different Greek word (daimon) is used. In the time of       our Lord there were frequent cases of demoniacal possession       (Matt. 12:25-30; Mark 5:1-20; Luke 4:35; 10:18, etc.).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Hail!       a salutation expressive of a wish for the welfare of the person       addressed; the translation of the Greek _Chaire_, "Rejoice"       (Luke 1:8). Used in mockery in Matt. 27:29.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Hail       frozen rain-drops; one of the plagues of Egypt (Ex. 9:23). It is       mentioned by Haggai as a divine judgment (Hag. 2:17). A       hail-storm destroyed the army of the Amorites when they fought       against Joshua (Josh. 10:11). Ezekiel represents the wall daubed       with untempered mortar as destroyed by great hail-stones (Ezek.       13:11). (See also 38:22; Rev. 8:7; 11:19; 16:21.)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Mahalath Leannoth Maschil       This word leannoth seems to point to some kind of instrument       unknown (Ps. 88, title). The whole phrase has by others been       rendered, "On the sickness of affliction: a lesson;" or,       "Concerning afflictive sickness: a didactic psalm."
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Mahalath Maschil       in the title of Ps. 53, denoting that this was a didactic psalm,       to be sung to the accompaniment of the lute or guitar. Others       regard this word "mahalath" as the name simply of an old air to       which the psalm was to be sung. Others, again, take the word as       meaning "sickness," and regard it as alluding to the contents of       the psalm.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Main-sail       (Gr. artemon), answering to the modern "mizzen-sail," as some       suppose. Others understand the "jib," near the prow, or the       "fore-sail," as likely to be most useful in bringing a ship's       head to the wind in the circumstances described (Acts 27:40).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Maschil       instructing, occurs in the title of thirteen Psalms (32, 42, 44,       etc.). It denotes a song enforcing some lesson of wisdom or       piety, a didactic song. In Ps. 47:7 it is rendered, Authorized       Version, "with understanding;" Revised Version, marg., "in a       skilful psalm."
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Nail       for fastening. (1.) Hebrew yathed, "piercing," a peg or nail of       any material (Ezek. 15:3), more especially a tent-peg (Ex.       27:19; 35:18; 38:20), with one of which Jael (q.v.) pierced the       temples of Sisera (Judg. 4:21, 22). This word is also used       metaphorically (Zech. 10:4) for a prince or counsellor, just as       "the battle-bow" represents a warrior.                (2.) Masmer, a "point," the usual word for a nail. The words       of the wise are compared to "nails fastened by the masters of       assemblies" (Eccl. 12:11, A.V.). The Revised Version reads, "as       nails well fastened are the words of the masters," etc. Others       (as Plumptre) read, "as nails fastened are the masters of       assemblies" (comp. Isa. 22:23; Ezra 9:8). David prepared nails       for the temple (1 Chr. 22:3; 2 Chr. 3:9). The nails by which our       Lord was fixed to the cross are mentioned (John 20:25; Col.       2:14).                Nail of the finger (Heb. tsipporen, "scraping"). To "pare the       nails" is in Deut. 21:12 (marg., "make," or "dress," or "suffer       to grow") one of the signs of purification, separation from       former heathenism (comp. Lev. 14:8; Num. 8:7). In Jer. 17:1 this       word is rendered "point."
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Obil       a keeper of camels, an Ishmaelite who was "over the camels" in       the time of David (1 Chr. 27:30).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Oil       Only olive oil seems to have been used among the Hebrews. It was       used for many purposes: for anointing the body or the hair (Ex.       29:7; 2 Sam. 14:2; Ps. 23:5; 92:10; 104:15; Luke 7:46); in some       of the offerings (Ex. 29:40; Lev. 7:12; Num. 6:15; 15:4), but       was excluded from the sin-offering (Lev. 5:11) and the       jealousy-offering (Num. 5:15); for burning in lamps (Ex. 25:6;       27:20; Matt. 25:3); for medicinal purposes (Isa. 1:6; Luke       10:34; James 5:14); and for anointing the dead (Matt. 26:12;       Luke 23:56).                It was one of the most valuable products of the country (Deut.       32:13; Ezek. 16:13), and formed an article of extensive commerce       with Tyre (27:17).                The use of it was a sign of gladness (Ps. 92:10; Isa. 61:3),       and its omission a token of sorrow (2 Sam. 14:2; Matt. 6:17). It       was very abundant in Galilee. (See {OLIVE}.)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Snail       (1.) Heb. homit, among the unclean creeping things (Lev. 11:30).       This was probably the sand-lizard, of which there are many       species in the wilderness of Judea and the Sinai peninsula.                (2.) Heb. shablul (Ps. 58:8), the snail or slug proper.       Tristram explains the allusions of this passage by a reference       to the heat and drought by which the moisture of the snail is       evaporated. "We find," he says, "in all parts of the Holy Land       myriads of snail-shells in fissures still adhering by the       calcareous exudation round their orifice to the surface of the       rock, but the animal of which is utterly shrivelled and wasted,       'melted away.'"
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Tree of the knowledge of good and evil       stood in the midst of the garden of Eden, beside the tree of       life (Gen. 2, 3). Adam and Eve were forbidden to take of the       fruit which grew upon it. But they disobeyed the divine       injunction, and so sin and death by sin entered our world and       became the heritage of Adam's posterity. (See {ADAM}.)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Veil, vail       (1.) Heb. mitpahath (Ruth 3:15; marg., "sheet" or "apron;" R.V.,       "mantle"). In Isa. 3:22 this word is plural, rendered "wimples;"       R.V., "shawls" i.e., wraps.                (2.) Massekah (Isa. 25:7; in Isa. 28:20 rendered "covering").       The word denotes something spread out and covering or concealing       something else (comp. 2 Cor. 3:13-15).                (3.) Masveh (Ex. 34:33, 35), the veil on the face of Moses.       This verse should be read, "And when Moses had done speaking       with them, he put a veil on his face," as in the Revised       Version. When Moses spoke to them he was without the veil; only       when he ceased speaking he put on the veil (comp. 2 Cor. 3:13,       etc.).                (4.) Paroheth (Ex. 26:31-35), the veil of the tabernacle and       the temple, which hung between the holy place and the most holy       (2 Chr. 3:14). In the temple a partition wall separated these       two places. In it were two folding-doors, which are supposed to       have been always open, the entrance being concealed by the veil       which the high priest lifted when he entered into the sanctuary       on the day of Atonement. This veil was rent when Christ died on       the cross (Matt. 27:51; Mark 15:38; Luke 23:45).                (5.) Tza'iph (Gen. 24:65). Rebekah "took a vail and covered       herself." (See also 38:14, 19.) Hebrew women generally appeared       in public without veils (12:14; 24:16; 29:10; 1 Sam. 1:12).                (6.) Radhidh (Cant. 5:7, R.V. "mantle;" Isa. 3:23). The word       probably denotes some kind of cloak or wrapper.                (7.) Masak, the veil which hung before the entrance to the       holy place (Ex. 26:36, 37).

In addition, the economy remained highly    regulated, inward-looking, and protected by substantial trade and    investment barriers. Ownership of major industrial and mining    facilities is divided among private interests - including several    multinationals - and the government. Most large agricultural holdings    are private, with the government channeling financing to this sector.    Conflicts between large landholders and landless peasants have    produced intermittent violence. The COLLOR government, which assumed    office in March 1990, launched an ambitious reform program that sought    to modernize and reinvigorate the economy by stabilizing prices,    deregulating the economy, and opening it to increased foreign    competition. Itamar FRANCO, who assumed the presidency following    President COLLOR's resignation in December 1992, was out of step with    COLLOR's reform agenda; initiatives to redress fiscal problems,    privatize state enterprises, and liberalize trade and investment    policies lost momentum. Galloping inflation - by June 1994 the monthly    rate had risen to nearly 50% - had undermined economic stability. In    response, the then finance minister, Fernando Henrique CARDOSO,    launched the third phase of his stabilization plan, known as Plano    Real, that called for a new currency, the real, which was introduced    on 1 July 1994.
