Any one of numerous species of small rodents belonging to the genus {Sciurus} and several allied genera of the family {Sciurid[91]}. Squirrels generally have a bushy tail, large erect ears, and strong hind legs. They are commonly arboreal in their habits, but many species live in burrows. Note: Among the common North American squirrels are the gray squirrel ({Scirius Carolinensis}) and its black variety; the fox, or cat, sqirrel ({S. cinereus}, or {S. niger}) which is a large species, and variable in color, the southern variety being frequently black, while the northern and western varieties are usually gray or rusty brown; the red squirrel (see {Chickaree}); the striped, or chipping, squirrel (see {Chipmunk}); and the California gray squirrel ({S. fossor}). Several other species inhabit Mexico and Central America. The common European species ({Sciurus vulgaris}) has a long tuft of hair on each ear. the so-called Australian squirrels are marsupials. See {Petaurist}, and {Phalanger}. 2. One of the small rollers of a carding machine which work with the large cylinder. {Barking squirrel} (Zo[94]l.), the prairie dog. {Federation squirrel} (Zo[94]l.), the striped gopher. See {Gopher}, 2. {Flying squirrel} (Zo[94]l.). See {Flying squirrel}, in the Vocabulary. {Java squirrel} (Zo[94]l.). See {Jelerang}. {Squirrel corn} (Bot.), a North American herb ({Dicantra Canadensis}) bearing little yellow tubers. {Squirrel cup} (Bot.), the blossom of the {Hepatica triloba}, a low perennial herb with cup-shaped flowers varying from purplish blue to pink or even white.

(c) The redmouth, or grunt. (d) A market fish of Bermuda ({Holocentrum Ascensione}). {Squirrel grass} (Bot.), a pestiferous grass ({Hordeum murinum}) related to barley. In California the stiffly awned spiklets work into the wool of sheep, and into the throat, flesh, and eyes of animals, sometimes even producing death. {Squirrel hake} (Zo[94]l.), a common American hake ({Phycis tenuis}); -- called also {white hake}. {Squirrel hawk} (Zo[94]l.), any rough-legged hawk; especially, the California species {Archibuteo ferrugineus}. {Squirrel monkey}. (Zo[94]l.) (a) Any one of several species of small, soft-haired South American monkeys of the genus {Calithrix}. They are noted for their graceful form and agility. See {Teetee}. (b) A marmoset. {Squirrel petaurus} (Zo[94]l.), a flying phalanger of Australia. See {Phalanger}, {Petaurist}, and {Flying phalanger} under {Flying}. {Squirrel shrew} (Zo[94]l.), any one of several species of East Indian and Asiatic insectivores of the genus {Tupaia}.

Java servelet {Java servlet} | |
| From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]: | |
|
Java servlet that runs as part of a {network} service, typically an {HTTP server} and responds to requests from {clients}. The most common use for a servlet is to extend a {web server} by generating {web content} dynamically. For example, a {client} may need {information} from a {database}; a servlet can be written that receives the request, gets and processes the data as needed by the {client} and then returns the result to the {client}. {Applets} are also written in {Java} but run inside the {JVM} of a {HTML} {browser} on the {client}. Servlets and applets allow the server and client to be extended in a modular way by dynamically loading code which communicates with the main program via a standard programming interface. Servlets are more flexible than {CGI scripts} and, being written in {Java}, more portable. The spelling "servelet" is occasionally seen but {JavaSoft} spell it "servlet". There is no such thing as a "serverlet". {(http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/)}. (2002-10-06) | |

JavaScript cross-{platform}, {World-Wide Web} {scripting language}, only very vaguely related to {Java} (which is a {Sun} trademark). JavaScript is intimately tied to the {World-Wide Web}, and currently runs in only three environments - as a {server}-side {scripting} language, as an embedded language in {server-parsed HTML}, and as an embedded language run in web {browsers} where it is the most important part of {DHTML}. JavaScript has a simplified {C}-like {syntax} and is tightly integrated with the browser {Document Object Model}. It is useful for implementing enhanced {forms}, simple web {database} {front-ends}, and navigation enhancements. JavaScript originated from {Netscape} and, for a time, only their products supported it. {Microsoft} now supports a work-alike called JScript. The resulting inconsistencies make it difficult to write JavaScript that behaves the same in all browsers. This could be attributed to the slow progress of JavaScript through the standards bodies. JavaScript runs "100x" slower than {C}, as it is purely interpreted ({Java} runs "10x" slower than C code). {Netscape} and allies say JavaScript is an "open standard" in an effort to keep {Microsoft} from monopolising web software as they have desktop software. {Netscape} and {Sun} have co-operated to enable {Java} and JavaScript to exchange messages and data. See also {VBScript}. {Usenet} newsgroup: {news:comp.lang.javascript}. Mailing List: in body). (2003-04-28) | |

JavaServer Pages specification for extending the {Java Servlet} {API} to generate dynamic {web pages} on a {web server}. The JSP specification was written by industry leaders as part of the Java development program. JSP assists developers in creating {HTML} or {XML} pages that combine static (fixed) page templates with dynamic content. Separating the {user interface} from content generation allows page designers to change the page layout without having to rewrite program code. JSP was designed to be simpler than pure servlets or {CGI} {scripting}. JSP uses XML-like tags and scripts written in Java to generate the page content. HTML or XML formatting {tags} are passed back to the client. Application logic can live on the server, e.g. in {JavaBeans}. JSP is a {cross-platform} alternative to {Microsoft's} {Active Server Pages}, which only runs in {IIS} on {Windows NT}. Applications written to the JSP specification can be run on compliant web servers, and web servers such as {Apache}, {Netscape Enterprise Server}, and Microsoft {IIS} that have had Java support added. JSP should soon be available on {Unix}, {AS/400}, and {mainframe} platforms. {JavaServer Pages (http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/)}. {Infoworld Article (http://www.infoworld.com/cgi-bin/displayStory.pl?99063.ecjsp.htm)}.

Jehovah-jireh Jehovah will see; i.e., will provide, the name given by Abraham to the scene of his offering up the ram which was caught in the thicket on Mount Moriah. The expression used in Gen. 22:14, "in the mount of the Lord it shall be seen," has been regarded as equivalent to the saying, "Man's extremity is God's opportunity." | |

Jehovah-jireh, the Lord will provide | |
