Tea \Tea\, n. [Chin. tsh[be], Prov. Chin. te: cf. F. th[82].]       1. The prepared leaves of a shrub, or small tree ({Thea, [or]             Camellia, Chinensis}). The shrub is a native of China, but             has been introduced to some extent into some other             countries.          Note: Teas are classed as green or black, according to their                color or appearance, the kinds being distinguished also                by various other characteristic differences, as of                taste, odor, and the like. The color, flavor, and                quality are dependent upon the treatment which the                leaves receive after being gathered. The leaves for                green tea are heated, or roasted slightly, in shallow                pans over a wood fire, almost immediately after being                gathered, after which they are rolled with the hands                upon a table, to free them from a portion of their                moisture, and to twist them, and are then quickly                dried. Those intended for black tea are spread out in                the air for some time after being gathered, and then                tossed about with the hands until they become soft and                flaccid, when they are roasted for a few minutes, and                rolled, and having then been exposed to the air for a                few hours in a soft and moist state, are finally dried                slowly over a charcoal fire. The operation of roasting                and rolling is sometimes repeated several times, until                the leaves have become of the proper color. The                principal sorts of green tea are Twankay, the poorest                kind; Hyson skin, the refuse of Hyson; Hyson, Imperial,                and Gunpowder, fine varieties; and Young Hyson, a                choice kind made from young leaves gathered early in                the spring. Those of black tea are Bohea, the poorest                kind; Congou; Oolong; Souchong, one of the finest                varieties; and Pekoe, a fine-flavored kind, made                chiefly from young spring buds.

Thus,                let 10 be the base, then 2 is the logarithm of 100,                because 10^{2} = 100, and 3 is the logarithm of 1,000,                because 10^{3} = 1,000.          {Arithmetical complement of a logarithm}, the difference             between a logarithm and the number ten.          {Binary logarithms}. See under {Binary}.          {Common logarithms}, or {Brigg's logarithms}, logarithms of             which the base is 10; -- so called from Henry Briggs, who             invented them.          {Gauss's logarithms}, tables of logarithms constructed for             facilitating the operation of finding the logarithm of the             sum of difference of two quantities from the logarithms of             the quantities, one entry of those tables and two             additions or subtractions answering the purpose of three             entries of the common tables and one addition or             subtraction. They were suggested by the celebrated German             mathematician Karl Friedrich Gauss (died in 1855), and are             of great service in many astronomical computations.          {Hyperbolic, [or] Napierian}, {logarithms}

Berkeley Quality Software adj.   (often abbreviated `BQS') Term    used in a pejorative sense to refer to software that was apparently    created by rather spaced-out hackers late at night to solve some    unique problem.   It usually has nonexistent, incomplete, or    incorrect documentation, has been tested on at least two examples,    and core dumps when anyone else attempts to use it.   This term was    frequently applied to early versions of the `dbx(1)' debugger.   See    also {Berzerkeley}.          Note to British and Commonwealth readers: that's /berk'lee/, not    /bark'lee/ as in British Received Pronunciation.

Brooks's Law prov.   "Adding manpower to a late software project    makes it later" -- a result of the fact that the expected advantage    from splitting development work among N programmers is O(N) (that    is, proportional to N), but the complexity and communications cost    associated with coordinating and then merging their work is O(N^2)    (that is, proportional to the square of N).   The quote is from Fred    Brooks, a manager of IBM's OS/360 project and author of "The Mythical       Man-Month" (Addison-Wesley, 1975, ISBN 0-201-00650-2), an excellent    early book on software engineering.   The myth in question has been    most tersely expressed as "Programmer time is fungible" and Brooks    established conclusively that it is not.   Hackers have never    forgotten his advice (though it's not the whole story; see    {bazaar}); too often, {management} still does.   See also    {creationism}, {second-system effect}, {optimism}.

Brooks's Law          "Adding manpower to a late software project       makes it later" - a result of the fact that the expected       advantage from splitting work among N programmers is O(N)       (that is, proportional to N), but the complexity and       communications cost associated with coordinating and then       merging their work is O(N^2) (that is, proportional to the       square of N).          The quote is from Fred Brooks, a manager of {IBM}'s {OS/360}       project and author of "{The Mythical Man-Month}".          The myth in question has been most tersely expressed as       "Programmer time is fungible" and Brooks established       conclusively that it is not.   Hackers have never forgotten his       advice; too often, {management} still does.          See also {creationism}, {second-system effect}, {optimism}.          [{Jargon File}]          (1996-09-17)

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. Inflation subsequently dropped to under 3% per month    through the end of 1994. The newly elected President CARDOSO has    called for the implementation of sweeping market-oriented reform,    including public sector and fiscal reform, privatization,    deregulation, and elimination of barriers to increased foreign    investment. Brazil's natural resources remain a major, long-term    economic strength.       National product: GDP - purchasing power parity - $886.3 billion (1994    est.)       National product real growth rate: 5.3% (1994 est.)       National product per capita: $5,580 (1994 est.)       Inflation rate (consumer prices): 1,094% (1994 est.)       Unemployment rate: 4.9% (1993)       Budget:    revenues: $113 billion    expenditures: $109 billion, including capital expenditures of $23    billion (1992)       Exports: $43.6 billion (f.o.b., 1994 est.)    commodities: iron ore, soybean bran, orange juice, footwear, coffee,    motor vehicle parts    partners: EC 27.6%, Latin America 21.8%, US 17.4%, Japan 6.3% (1993)       Imports: $33.2 billion (f.o.b., 1994 est.)    commodities: crude oil, capital goods, chemical products, foodstuffs,    coal    partners: US 23.3%, EC 22.5%, Middle East 13.0%, Latin America 11.8%,    Japan 6.5% (1993)       External debt: $134 billion (1994)       Industrial production: growth rate 9.5% (1993); accounts for 39% of    GDP       Electricity:    capacity: 55,130,000 kW    production: 241.4 billion kWh    consumption per capita: 1,589 kWh (1993)       Industries: textiles, shoes, chemicals, cement, lumber, mining (iron    ore, tin), steel making, machine building - including aircraft, motor    vehicles, motor vehicle parts and assemblies, and other machinery and    equipment       Agriculture: accounts for 11% of GDP; world's largest producer and    exporter of coffee and orange juice concentrate and second-largest    exporter of soybeans; other products - rice, corn, sugarcane, cocoa,    beef; self-sufficient in food, except for wheat       Illicit drugs: illicit producer of cannabis and coca, mostly for    domestic consumption; government has a small-scale eradication program    to control cannabis and coca cultivation; important transshipment    country for Bolivian and Colombian cocaine headed for the US and    Europe       Economic aid:    recipient: US commitments, including Ex-Im (FY70-89), $2.5 billion;    Western (non-US) countries, ODA and OOF bilateral commitments    (1970-89), $10.2 million; OPEC bilateral aid (1979-89), $284 million;    former Communist countries (1970-89), $1.3 billion       Currency: 1 real (R$) = 100 centavos       Exchange rates: R$ per US$1 - 0.85 (January 1995); CR$ per US$1 -    390.845 (January 1994), 88.449 (1993), 4.513 (1992), 0.407 (1991),    0.068 (1990)    note: on 1 August 1993 the cruzeiro real (CR$), equal to 1,000    cruzeiros, was introduced; another new currency, the real, was    introduced on 1 July 1994, equal to 2,750 cruzeiro reals       Fiscal year: calendar year       Brazil:Transportation       Railroads:    total: 30,612 km (1992)    broad gauge: 5,369 km 1.600-m gauge (1,108 km electrified)    standard gauge: 194 km 1.440-m gauge    narrow gauge: 24,739 km 1.000-m gauge (112 km electrified); 13 km    0.760-m gauge    dual gauge: 310 km 1.600-m/1.000-m gauge (78 km electrified)       Highways:    total: 1,670,148 km    paved: 161,503 km    unpaved: gravel/earth 1,508,645 km (1990)       Inland waterways: 50,000 km navigable       Pipelines: crude oil 2,000 km; petroleum products 3,804 km; natural    gas 1,095 km       Ports: Belem, Fortaleza, Ilheus, Imbituba, Manaus, Paranagua, Porto    Alegre, Recife, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande, Salvador, Santos, Vitoria       Merchant marine:    total: 215 ships (1,000 GRT or over) totaling 5,128,654 GRT/8,664,776    DWT    ships by type: bulk 52, cargo 34, chemical tanker 13, combination    ore/oil 12, container 12, liquefied gas tanker 11, oil tanker 64,    passenger-cargo 5, refrigerated cargo 1, roll-on/roll-off cargo 11       Airports:    total: 3,467    with paved runways over 3,047 m: 5    with paved runways 2,438 to 3,047 m: 19    with paved runways 1,524 to 2,437 m: 126    with paved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 286    with paved runways under 914 m: 1,652    with unpaved runways 1,524 to 2,438 m: 76    with unpaved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 1,303       Brazil:Communications       Telephone system: 9.86 million telephones; telephone density -    61/1,000 persons; good working system    local: NA    intercity: extensive microwave radio relay systems and 64 domestic    satellite earth stations    international: 3 coaxial submarine cables; 3 Atlantic Ocean INTELSAT    earth stations       Radio:    broadcast stations: AM 1,223, FM 0, shortwave 151    radios: NA       Television:    broadcast stations: 112 (Brazil has the world's fourth largest    television broadcasting system)    televisions: NA       Brazil:Defense Forces       Branches: Brazilian Army, Brazilian Navy (includes Marines), Brazilian    Air Force, Federal Police (paramilitary)       Manpower availability: males age 15-49 44,301,765; males fit for    military service 29,815,576; males reach military age (18) annually    1,703,438 (1995 est.)       Defense expenditures: exchange rate conversion - $5.0 billion, 0.9% of    GDP (1994)
