      Note: Proportion in the mathematical sense differs from
               ratio. Ratio is the relation of two quantities of the
               same kind, as the ratio of 5 to 10, or the ratio of 8
               to 16. Proportion is the sameness or likeness of two
               such relations. Thus, 5 to 10 as 8 to 16; that is, 5
               bears the same relation to 10 as 8 does to 16. Hence,
               such numbers are said to be in proportion. Proportion
               is expressed by symbols thus: a:b::c:d, or a:b = c:d,
               or a/b = c/d.
            (b) The rule of three, in arithmetic, in which the three

      {Harmonical, [or] Musical}, {proportion}, a relation of three
            or four quantities, such that the first is to the last as
            the difference between the first two is to the difference
            between the last two; thus, 2, 3, 6, are in harmonical
            proportion; for 2 is to 6 as 1 to 3. Thus, 24, 16, 12, 9,
            are harmonical, for 24:9::8:3.
  
      {In proportion}, according as; to the degree that. [bd]In

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   Herman Hollerith
  
      The promulgator of the {punched card}.   Hollerith was
      born on 1860-02-29 and died on 1929-11-17.   He graduated from
      Columbia University, NewYork, NY, USA.   He joined the US
      Census Bureau as a statistician where he used a punched card
      device to help analyse the 1880 US census data.   This punched
      card system stored data in 80 columns.   This "80-column"
      concept has carried forward in various forms into modern
      applications.
  
      In 1896, Hollerith founded the {Tabulating Machine Company} to
      exploit his invention and in 1924 his firm became part of
      {IBM}.   The Hollerith system was used for the 1911 UK census.
  
      A correspondant writes:
  
      Wasn't Hollerith's original machine first used for the 1990 US
      census?   And I think I am right in saying that the physical
      layout was a 20x12 grid of round holes.   The one I have seen
      (picture only, unfortunately, not the real thing) did not use
      'columns' as such but holes were grouped into
      irregularly-shaped fields, such that each hole had a
      more-or-less independent function.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hermon
      a peak, the eastern prolongation of the Anti-Lebanon range,
      reaching to the height of about 9,200 feet above the
      Mediterranean. It marks the north boundary of Palestine (Deut.
      3:8, 4:48; Josh. 11:3, 17; 13:11; 12:1), and is seen from a
      great distance. It is about 40 miles north of the Sea of
      Galilee. It is called "the Hermonites" (Ps. 42:6) because it has
      more than one summit. The Sidonians called it Sirion, and the
      Amorites Shenir (Deut. 3:9; Cant. 4:8). It is also called
      Baal-hermon (Judg. 3:3; 1 Chr. 5:23) and Sion (Deut. 4:48).
      There is every probability that one of its three summits was the
      scene of the transfiguration (q.v.). The "dew of Hermon" is
      referred to (Ps. 89: 12). Its modern name is Jebel-esh-Sheikh,
      "the chief mountain." It is one of the most conspicuous
      mountains in Palestine or Syria. "In whatever part of Palestine
      the Israelite turned his eye northward, Hermon was there,
      terminating the view. From the plain along the coast, from the
      Jordan valley, from the heights of Moab and Gilead, from the
      plateau of Bashan, the pale, blue, snow-capped cone forms the
      one feature in the northern horizon."
     
         Our Lord and his disciples climbed this "high mountain apart"
      one day, and remained on its summit all night, "weary after
      their long and toilsome ascent." During the night "he was
      transfigured before them; and his face did shine as the sun."
      The next day they descended to Caesarea Philippi.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hermonites, the
      (Ps. 42:6, 7) = "the Hermons", i.e., the three peaks or summits
      of Hermon, which are about a quarter of a mile apart.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Horonaim
      two caverns, a city of Moab to the south of the Arnon, built,
      apparently, upon an eminence, and a place of some importance
      (Isa. 15:5; Jer. 48:3, 5, 34).
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Hermon, anathema; devoted to destruction
  

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Horonaim, angers; ragings
