   Common Internet File System
  
      (CIFS) An {Internet} {file system} {protocol},
      based on {Microsoft}'s {SMB}.   Microsoft has given CIFS to the
      {Internet Engineering Task Force} (IETF) as an Internet Draft.
      CIFS is intended to complement existing protocols such as
      {HTTP}, {FTP}, and {NFS}.
  
      CIFS runs on top of {TCP/IP} and uses the Internet's {Domain
      Name Service} (DNS).   It is optimised to support the slower
      speed {dial-up} connections common on the Internet.
  
      CIFS is more flexible than FTP.   FTP operations are carried
      out on entire files whereas CIFS is aimed at routine data
      access and incorporates high-performance multi-user read and
      write operations, {locking}, and file-sharing semantics.
  
      CIFS is probably closest in functionality to NFS.   NFS gives
      random access to files and directories, but is {stateless}.
      With CIFS, once a file is open, state about the current access
      to that file is stored on both the client and the server.
      This allows changes on the server side to be notified to the
      clients that are interested.

   Cinnamon
      Heb. kinamon, the Cinnamomum zeylanicum of botanists, a tree of
      the Laurel family, which grows only in India on the Malabar
      coast, in Ceylon, and China. There is no trace of it in Egypt,
      and it was unknown in Syria. The inner rind when dried and
      rolled into cylinders forms the cinnamon of commerce. The fruit
      and coarser pieces of bark when boiled yield a fragrant oil. It
      was one of the principal ingredients in the holy anointing oil
      (Ex. 30:23). It is mentioned elsewhere only in Prov. 7:17; Cant.
      4:14; Rev. 18:13. The mention of it indicates a very early and
      extensive commerce carried on between Palestine and the East.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Communion
      fellowship with God (Gen. 18:17-33; Ex. 33:9-11; Num. 12:7, 8),
      between Christ and his people (John 14:23), by the Spirit (2
      Cor. 13:14; Phil. 2:1), of believers with one another (Eph.
      4:1-6). The Lord's Supper is so called (1 Cor. 10:16, 17),
      because in it there is fellowship between Christ and his
      disciples, and of the disciples with one another.
