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. See {Bohea}, {Congou},                {Gunpowder tea}, under {Gunpowder}, {Hyson}, {Oolong},                and {Souchong}. --K. Johnson. Tomlinson.          Note: [bd]No knowledge of . . .

The Portuguese,                however, did little towards the introduction of the                herb into Europe, and it was not till the Dutch                established themselves at Bantam early in 17th century,                that these adventurers learned from the Chinese the                habit of tea drinking, and brought it to Europe.[b8]                --Encyc.

A slave is set at liberty; his                   master had always been in a state of freedom. A                   prisoner under trial may ask liberty (exemption from                   restraint) to speak his sentiments with freedom (the                   spontaneous and bold utterance of his feelings). The                   liberty of the press is our great security for freedom                   of thought.

A slave is set at liberty; his                   master had always been in a state of freedom. A                   prisoner under trial may ask liberty (exemption from                   restraint) to speak his sentiments with freedom (the                   spontaneous and bold utterance of his feelings).

Laboratory INstrument Computer          (LINC) A computer which was originally designed in       1962 by {Wesley Clark}, {Charles Molnar}, Severo Ornstein and       others at the {Lincoln Laboratory Group}, to facilitate       scientific research.   With its {digital logic} and {stored       programs}, the LINC is accepted by the {IEEE Computer Society}       to be the World's first {interactive} {personal computer}.          The machine was developed to fulfil a need for better       laboratory tools by doctors and medical researchers.   It would       supplant the 1958 {Average Response Computer}, and was       designed for individual use.          Led by William N. Papian and mainly funded by the {National       Institute of Health}, Wesley Clark designed the logic while       Charles Molnar did the engineering.   The first LINC was       finished in March 1962.          In January 1963, the project moved to {MIT}, and then to       {Washington University} (in St. Louis) in 1964.          The LINC had a simple {operating system}, four "knobs" (which       was used like a {mouse}), a {Soroban keyboard} (for       alpha-numeric data entry), two {LINCtape} drives and a small       {CRT} display.   It originally had one {kilobit} of {core       memory}, but this was expanded to 2 Kb later.   The computer       was made out of {Digital Equipment Corporation} (DEC) hardware       modules.          Over 24 LINC systems had been built before late 1964 when       DEC began to sell the LINC commercially.          After the introduction of the {PDP-8}, {Dick Clayton} at       DEC produced a rather frightening hybrid of the LINC and       PDP-8 called a LINC-8.   This really was not a very       satisfactory machine, but it used the new PDP-8 style DEC       cards and was cheaper and easier to produce.   It still       didn't sell that well.          In the late 1960s, Clayton brought the design to its pinnacle       with the PDP-12, an amazing tour de force of the LINC concept;       along with about as seamless a merger as could be done with       the PDP-8.   This attempted to incorporate {TTL logic} into the       machine.   The end of the LINC line had been reached.          Due to the success of the LINC-8, {Spear, Inc.} produced a       LINC clone (since the design was in the {public domain}).       The interesting thing about the Spear {micro-LINC 300} was       that it used {MECL} II logic.   MECL logic was known for its       blazing speed (at the time!), but the Spear computer ran at       very modest rates.          In 1995 the last of the classic LINCs was turned off for       the final time after 28 years of service.   This LINC had       been in use in the Eaton-Peabody Laboratory of Auditory       Physiology (EPL) of the Massachusetts Eye and Ear       Infirmary.          On 15 August 1995, it was transferred to the MIT {Computer       Museum} where it was put on display.          {LINC/8, PDP-12       (http://www.faqs.org/faqs/dec-faq/pdp8/section-7.html)}.          {Lights out for last LINC       (http://rleweb.mit.edu/publications/currents/6-1linc.HTM)}.          ["Computers and Automation", Nov. 1964, page 43].          (1999-05-20)

Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench          (LabVIEW) A package from National Instruments Corp       originally developed to provide a {graphical user interface}       to instruments connected by the {IEEE 488} (GPIB) bus.   It has       powerful graphical editing facilities for defining and       interconnecting "virtual instruments".          (1996-04-24)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Leopard       (Heb. namer, so called because spotted, Cant. 4:8), was that       great spotted feline which anciently infested the mountains of       Syria, more appropriately called a panther (Felis pardus). Its       fierceness (Isa. 11:6), its watching for its prey (Jer. 5:6),       its swiftness (Hab. 1:8), and the spots of its skin (Jer.       13:23), are noticed. This word is used symbolically (Dan. 7:6;       Rev. 13:2).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Levirate Law       from Latin levir, "a husband's brother," the name of an ancient       custom ordained by Moses, by which, when an Israelite died       without issue, his surviving brother was required to marry the       widow, so as to continue his brother's family through the son       that might be born of that marriage (Gen. 38:8; Deut. 25:5-10;       comp. Ruth 3; 4:10). Its object was "to raise up seed to the       departed brother."
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Libertine       found only Acts 6:9, one who once had been a slave, but who had       been set at liberty, or the child of such a person. In this case       the name probably denotes those descendants of Jews who had been       carried captives to Rome as prisoners of war by Pompey and other       Roman generals in the Syrian wars, and had afterwards been       liberated. In A.D. 19 these manumitted Jews were banished from       Rome. Many of them found their way to Jerusalem, and there       established a synagogue.
