Heat \Heat\, n. [OE. hete, h[91]te, AS. h[?]tu, h[?]to, fr. h[be]t hot; akin to OHG. heizi heat, Dan. hede, Sw. hetta. See {Hot}.] 1. A force in nature which is recognized in various effects, but especially in the phenomena of fusion and evaporation, and which, as manifested in fire, the sun's rays, mechanical action, chemical combination, etc., becomes directly known to us through the sense of feeling. In its nature heat is a mode if motion, being in general a form of molecular disturbance or vibration. It was formerly supposed to be a subtile, imponderable fluid, to which was given the name caloric. Note: As affecting the human body, heat produces different sensations, which are called by different names, as heat or sensible heat, warmth, cold, etc., according to its degree or amount relatively to the normal temperature of the body. 2. The sensation caused by the force or influence of heat when excessive, or above that which is normal to the human body; the bodily feeling experienced on exposure to fire, the sun's rays, etc.; the reverse of cold. 3. High temperature, as distinguished from low temperature, or cold; as, the heat of summer and the cold of winter; heat of the skin or body in fever, etc. Else how had the world . . . Avoided pinching cold and scorching heat! --Milton. 4. Indication of high temperature; appearance, condition, or color of a body, as indicating its temperature; redness; high color; flush; degree of temperature to which something is heated, as indicated by appearance, condition, or otherwise. It has raised . . . heats in their faces. --Addison. The heats smiths take of their iron are a blood-red heat, a white-flame heat, and a sparking or welding heat. --Moxon. 5. A single complete operation of heating, as at a forge or in a furnace; as, to make a horseshoe in a certain number of heats. 6. A violent action unintermitted; a single effort; a single course in a race that consists of two or more courses; as, he won two heats out of three. Many causes . . . for refreshment betwixt the heats. --Dryden. [He] struck off at one heat the matchless tale of [bd]Tam o'Shanter.[b8] --J. C. Shairp. 7. Utmost violence; rage; vehemence; as, the heat of battle or party. [bd]The heat of their division.[b8] --Shak. 8. Agitation of mind; inflammation or excitement; exasperation. [bd]The head and hurry of his rage.[b8] --South. 9. Animation, as in discourse; ardor; fervency. With all the strength and heat of eloquence. --Addison. 10. Sexual excitement in animals. 11. Fermentation. {Animal heat}, {Blood heat}, {Capacity for heat}, etc. See under {Animal}, {Blood}, etc. {Atomic heat} (Chem.), the product obtained by multiplying the atomic weight of any element by its specific heat.

Heat \Heat\, n. [OE. hete, h[91]te, AS. h[?]tu, h[?]to, fr. h[be]t hot; akin to OHG. heizi heat, Dan. hede, Sw. hetta. See {Hot}.] 1. A force in nature which is recognized in various effects, but especially in the phenomena of fusion and evaporation, and which, as manifested in fire, the sun's rays, mechanical action, chemical combination, etc., becomes directly known to us through the sense of feeling. In its nature heat is a mode if motion, being in general a form of molecular disturbance or vibration. It was formerly supposed to be a subtile, imponderable fluid, to which was given the name caloric. Note: As affecting the human body, heat produces different sensations, which are called by different names, as heat or sensible heat, warmth, cold, etc., according to its degree or amount relatively to the normal temperature of the body. 2. The sensation caused by the force or influence of heat when excessive, or above that which is normal to the human body; the bodily feeling experienced on exposure to fire, the sun's rays, etc.; the reverse of cold. 3. High temperature, as distinguished from low temperature, or cold; as, the heat of summer and the cold of winter; heat of the skin or body in fever, etc. Else how had the world . . . Avoided pinching cold and scorching heat! --Milton. 4. Indication of high temperature; appearance, condition, or color of a body, as indicating its temperature; redness; high color; flush; degree of temperature to which something is heated, as indicated by appearance, condition, or otherwise.

Draw is applied to all bodies moved by force in advance, whatever may be the degree of force; it commonly implies that some kind of aptitude or provision exists for drawing. Draw is the more general or generic term, and drag the more specific. We say, the horses draw a coach or wagon, but they drag it through mire; yet draw is properly used in both cases. | |

Fault \Fault\, n. 1. (Elec.) A defective point in an electric circuit due to a crossing of the parts of the conductor, or to contact with another conductor or the earth, or to a break in the circuit. 2. (Geol. & Mining) A dislocation caused by a slipping of rock masses along a plane of facture; also, the dislocated structure resulting from such slipping. Note: The surface along which the dislocated masses have moved is called the {fault plane}. When this plane is vertical, the fault is a {vertical fault}; when its inclination is such that the present relative position of the two masses could have been produced by the sliding down, along the fault plane, of the mass on its upper side, the fault is a {normal}, [or] {gravity}, {fault}. When the fault plane is so inclined that the mass on its upper side has moved up relatively, the fault is then called a {reverse} (or {reversed}), {thrust}, or {overthrust}, {fault}. If no vertical displacement has resulted, the fault is then called a {horizontal fault}. The linear extent of the dislocation measured on the fault plane and in the direction of movement is the {displacement}; the vertical displacement is the {throw}; the horizontal displacement is the {heave}. The direction of the line of intersection of the fault plane with a horizontal plane is the {trend} of the fault. A fault is a {strike fault} when its trend coincides approximately with the strike of associated strata (i.e., the line of intersection of the plane of the strata with a horizontal plane); it is a {dip fault} when its trend is at right angles to the strike; an {oblique fault} when its trend is oblique to the strike. Oblique faults and dip faults are sometimes called {cross faults}. A series of closely associated parallel faults are sometimes called {step faults} and sometimes {distributive faults}. | |

Fault \Fault\, n. 1. (Elec.) A defective point in an electric circuit due to a crossing of the parts of the conductor, or to contact with another conductor or the earth, or to a break in the circuit. 2. (Geol. & Mining) A dislocation caused by a slipping of rock masses along a plane of facture; also, the dislocated structure resulting from such slipping. Note: The surface along which the dislocated masses have moved is called the {fault plane}. When this plane is vertical, the fault is a {vertical fault}; when its inclination is such that the present relative position of the two masses could have been produced by the sliding down, along the fault plane, of the mass on its upper side, the fault is a {normal}, [or] {gravity}, {fault}. When the fault plane is so inclined that the mass on its upper side has moved up relatively, the fault is then called a {reverse} (or {reversed}), {thrust}, or {overthrust}, {fault}. If no vertical displacement has resulted, the fault is then called a {horizontal fault}. The linear extent of the dislocation measured on the fault plane and in the direction of movement is the {displacement}; the vertical displacement is the {throw}; the horizontal displacement is the {heave}. The direction of the line of intersection of the fault plane with a horizontal plane is the {trend} of the fault. A fault is a {strike fault} when its trend coincides approximately with the strike of associated strata (i.e., the line of intersection of the plane of the strata with a horizontal plane); it is a {dip fault} when its trend is at right angles to the strike; an {oblique fault} when its trend is oblique to the strike. Oblique faults and dip faults are sometimes called {cross faults}. A series of closely associated parallel faults are sometimes called {step faults} and sometimes {distributive faults}. | |

tar and feather vi. [from Unix `tar(1)'] To create a transportable archive from a group of files by first sticking them together with `tar(1)' (the Tape ARchiver) and then compressing the result (see {compress}). The latter action is dubbed `feathering' partly for euphony and (if only for contrived effect) by analogy to what you do with an airplane propeller to decrease wind resistance, or with an oar to reduce water resistance; smaller files, after all, slip through comm links more easily. Compare the more common {tarball}. | |

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]: | |
Trinity a word not found in Scripture, but used to express the doctrine of the unity of God as subsisting in three distinct Persons. This word is derived from the Gr. trias, first used by Theophilus (A.D. 168-183), or from the Lat. trinitas, first used by Tertullian (A.D. 220), to express this doctrine. The propositions involved in the doctrine are these: 1. That God is one, and that there is but one God (Deut. 6:4; 1 Kings 8:60; Isa. 44:6; Mark 12:29, 32; John 10:30). 2. That the Father is a distinct divine Person (hypostasis, subsistentia, persona, suppositum intellectuale), distinct from the Son and the Holy Spirit. 3. That Jesus Christ was truly God, and yet was a Person distinct from the Father and the Holy Spirit. 4. That the Holy Spirit is also a distinct divine Person. | |
