(Physics) The quantity of matter which a body contains,             irrespective of its bulk or volume.          Note: Mass and weight are often used, in a general way, as                interchangeable terms, since the weight of a body is                proportional to its mass (under the same or equal                gravitative forces), and the mass is usually                ascertained from the weight. Yet the two ideas, mass                and weight, are quite distinct. Mass is the quantity of                matter in a body; weight is the comparative force with                which it tends towards the center of the earth. A mass                of sugar and a mass of lead are assumed to be equal                when they show an equal weight by balancing each other                in the scales.          {Blue mass}.

mouse          The most commonly used computer {pointing       device}, first introduced by {Douglas Engelbart} in 1968.       The mouse is a device used to manipulate an on-screen       {pointer} that's normally shaped like an arrow.   With the       mouse in hand, the computer user can select, move, and change       items on the screen.          A conventional {roller-ball mouse} is slid across the surface       of the desk, often on a {mouse mat}.   As the mouse moves, a       ball set in a depression on the underside of the mouse rolls       accordingly.   The ball is also in contact with two small       shafts set at right angles to each other inside the mouse.       The rotating ball turns the shafts, and sensors inside the       mouse measure the shafts' rotation.   The distance and       direction information from the sensors is then transmitted to       the computer, usually through a connecting wire - the mouse's       "tail".   The computer then moves the mouse pointer on the       screen to follow the movements of the mouse.   This may be done       directly by the {graphics adaptor}, but where it involves the       processor the task should be assigned a high {priority} to       avoid any perceptible delay.          Some mice are contoured to fit the shape of a person's right       hand, and some come in left-handed versions.   Other mice are       symmetrical.          Included on the mouse are usually two or three buttons that       the user may press, or click, to initiate various actions such       as running {programs} or opening {files}.   The left-most       button (the {primary mouse button}) is operated with the index       finger to select and activate objects represented on the       screen.   Different {operating systems} and {graphical user       interfaces} have different conventions for using the other       button(s).   Typical operations include calling up a       {context-sensitive menu}, modifying the selection, or pasting       text.   With fewer mouse buttons these require combinations of       mouse and keyboard actions.   Between its left and right       buttons, a mouse may also have a wheel that can be used for       scrolling or other special operations defined by the software.       Some systems allow the mouse button assignments to be swapped       round for left-handed users.          Just moving the pointer across the screen with the mouse       typically does nothing (though some CAD systems respond to       patterns of mouse movement with no buttons pressed).       Normally, the pointer is positioned over something on the       screen (an {icon} or a {menu} item), and the user then clicks       a mouse button to actually affect the screen display.          The five most common "gestures" performed with the mouse are:       {point} (to place the pointer over an on-screen item), {click}       (to press and release a mouse button), {double-click} {to       press and release a mouse button twice in rapid succession},       {right-click} (to press and release the right mouse button},       and {drag} (to hold down the mouse button while moving the       mouse).          Most modern computers include a mouse as standard equipment.       However, some systems, especially portable {laptop} and       {notebook} models, may have a {trackball}, {touchpad} or       {Trackpoint} on or next to the {keyboard}.   These input       devices work like the mouse, but take less space and don't       need a desk.          Many other alternatives to the conventional roller-ball mouse       exist.   A {tailless mouse}, or {hamster}, transmits its       information with {infrared} impulses.   A {foot-controlled       mouse (http://www.footmouse.com/)} is one used on the floor       underneath the desk.   An {optical mouse} uses a       {light-emitting diode} and {photocells} instead of a rolling       ball to track its position.   Some optical designs may require       a special mouse mat marked with a grid, others, like the       Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer, work on nearly any surface.          {Yahoo!       (http://dir.yahoo.com/Business_and_Economy/Companies/Computers/Hardware/Peripherals/Input_Devices/Mice/)}.          {(http://peripherals.about.com/library/weekly/aa041498.htm)}.          {PC Guide's "Troubleshooting Mice"       (http://www.pcguide.com/ts/x/comp/mice.htm)}.          (1999-07-21)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Mesha       middle district, Vulgate, Messa. (1.) A plain in that part of       the boundaries of Arabia inhabited by the descendants of Joktan       (Gen. 10:30).                (2.)

Heb. id, a king of Moab, the son of Chemosh-Gad, a man of       great wealth in flocks and herds (2 Kings 3:4). After the death       of Ahab at Ramoth-Gilead, Mesha shook off the yoke of Israel;       but on the ascension of Jehoram to the throne of Israel, that       king sought the help of Jehoshaphat in an attempt to reduce the       Moabites again to their former condition. The united armies of       the two kings came unexpectedly on the army of the Moabites, and       gained over them an easy victory. The whole land was devastated       by the conquering armies, and Mesha sought refuge in his last       stronghold, Kir-harasheth (q.v.). Reduced to despair, he       ascended the wall of the city, and there, in the sight of the       allied armies, offered his first-born son a sacrifice to       Chemosh, the fire-god of the Moabites. This fearful spectacle       filled the beholders with horror, and they retired from before       the besieged city, and recrossed the Jordan laden with spoil (2       Kings 3:25-27).                The exploits of Mesha are recorded in the Phoenician       inscription on a block of black basalt found at Dibon, in Moab,       usually called the "Moabite stone" (q.v.).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Mess       a portion of food given to a guest (Gen. 43:34; 2 Sam. 11:8).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Messiah       (Heb. mashiah), in all the thirty-nine instances of its       occurring in the Old Testament, is rendered by the LXX.       "Christos." It means anointed. Thus priests (Ex. 28:41; 40:15;       Num. 3:3), prophets (1 Kings 19:16), and kings (1 Sam. 9:16;       16:3; 2 Sam. 12:7) were anointed with oil, and so consecrated to       their respective offices. The great Messiah is anointed "above       his fellows" (Ps. 45:7); i.e., he embraces in himself all the       three offices. The Greek form "Messias" is only twice used in       the New Testament, in John 1:41 and 4:25 (R.V., "Messiah"), and       in the Old Testament the word Messiah, as the rendering of the       Hebrew, occurs only twice (Dan 9:25, 26; R.V., "the anointed       one").                The first great promise (Gen. 3:15) contains in it the germ of       all the prophecies recorded in the Old Testament regarding the       coming of the Messiah and the great work he was to accomplish on       earth. The prophecies became more definite and fuller as the       ages rolled on; the light shone more and more unto the perfect       day. Different periods of prophetic revelation have been pointed       out, (1) the patriarchal; (2) the Mosaic; (3) the period of       David; (4) the period of prophetism, i.e., of those prophets       whose works form a part of the Old Testament canon. The       expectations of the Jews were thus kept alive from generation to       generation, till the "fulness of the times," when Messiah came,       "made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were       under the law." In him all these ancient prophecies have their       fulfilment. Jesus of Nazareth is the Messiah, the great       Deliverer who was to come. (Comp. Matt. 26:54; Mark 9:12; Luke       18:31; 22:37; John 5:39; Acts 2; 16:31; 26:22, 23.)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Micah       a shortened form of Micaiah, who is like Jehovah? (1.) A man of       Mount Ephraim, whose history so far is introduced in Judg. 17,       apparently for the purpose of leading to an account of the       settlement of the tribe of Dan in Northern Palestine, and for       the purpose also of illustrating the lawlessness of the times in       which he lived (Judg. 18; 19:1-29; 21:25).                (2.) The son of Merib-baal (Mephibosheth), 1 Chr. 8:34, 35.                (3.) The first in rank of the priests of the family of       Kohathites (1 Chr. 23:20).                (4.) A descendant of Joel the Reubenite (1 Chr. 5:5).                (5.) "The Morasthite," so called to distinguish him from       Micaiah, the son of Imlah (1 Kings 22:8). He was a prophet of       Judah, a contemporary of Isaiah (Micah 1:1), a native of       Moresheth of Gath (1:14, 15). Very little is known of the       circumstances of his life (comp. Jer. 26:18, 19).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Micaiah       who is like Jehovah?, the son of Imlah, a faithful prophet of       Samaria (1 Kings 22:8-28). Three years after the great battle       with Ben-hadad (20:29-34), Ahab proposed to Jehoshaphat, king of       Judah, that they should go up against Ramoth-Gilead to do battle       again with Ben-hadad. Jehoshaphat agreed, but suggested that       inquiry should be first made "at the word of Jehovah." Ahab's       prophets approved of the expedition; but Jehoshaphat, still       dissatisfied, asked if there was no other prophet besides the       four hundred that had appeared, and was informed of this       Micaiah. He was sent for from prison, where he had been       confined, probably on account of some prediction disagreeable to       Ahab; and he condemned the expedition, and prophesied that it       would end, as it did, in disaster. We hear nothing further of       this prophet. Some have supposed that he was the unnamed prophet       referred to in 1 Kings 20:35-42.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Micha       (1.) 2 Sam. 9:12 =MICAH (2).                (2.) The son of Zabdi, a Levite of the family of Asaph (Neh.       11:17, 22).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Michaiah       (1.) The queen-mother of King Abijah (2 Chr. 13:2). (See MAACAH       ¯T0002343 [4]).                (2.) One of those sent out by Jehoshaphat to instruct the       people in the law (2 Chr. 17:7).                (3.) 2 Kings 22:12.                (4.) The son of Gemariah. He reported to the king's officers       Jeremiah's prediction, which he had heard Baruch read (Jer.       36:11, 13) from his father Gemariah's chamber in the temple.                (5.) A Levite (Neh. 12:35).                (6.) A priest (Neh. 12:41).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Mizzah       despair, one of the four sons of Reuel, the son of Esau (Gen.       36:13, 17).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Mouse       Heb. 'akhbar, "swift digger"), properly the dormouse, the       field-mouse (1 Sam. 6:4). In Lev. 11:29, Isa. 66:17 this word is       used generically, and includes the jerboa (Mus jaculus), rat,       hamster (Cricetus), which, though declared to be unclean       animals, were eaten by the Arabs, and are still eaten by the       Bedouins. It is said that no fewer than twenty-three species of       this group ('akhbar=Arab. ferah) of animals inhabit Palestine.       God "laid waste" the people of Ashdod by the terrible visitation       of field-mice, which are like locusts in their destructive       effects (1 Sam. 6:4, 11, 18). Herodotus, the Greek historian,       accounts for the destruction of the army of Sennacherib (2 Kings       19:35) by saying that in the night thousands of mice invaded the       camp and gnawed through the bow-strings, quivers, and shields,       and thus left the Assyrians helpless. (See {SENNACHERIB}.)
