A iron instrument which is attached to a ship by a cable             (rope or chain), and which, being cast overboard, lays             hold of the earth by a fluke or hook and thus retains the             ship in a particular station.          Note: The common anchor consists of a straight bar called a                shank, having at one end a transverse bar called a                stock, above which is a ring for the cable, and at the                other end the crown, from which branch out two or more                arms with flukes, forming with the shank a suitable                angle to enter the ground.          Note: Formerly the largest and strongest anchor was the sheet                anchor (hence, Fig., best hope or last refuge), called                also {waist anchor}.

Tide \Tide\, n. [AS. t[c6]d time; akin to OS. & OFries. t[c6]d,       D. tijd, G. zeit, OHG. z[c6]t, Icel. t[c6][?], Sw. & Dan.       tid, and probably to Skr. aditi unlimited, endless, where a-       is a negative prefix. [fb]58. Cf. {Tidings}, {Tidy}, {Till},       prep., {Time}.]       1. Time; period; season. [Obsoles.] [bd]This lusty summer's             tide.[b8] --Chaucer.                         And rest their weary limbs a tide.      --Spenser.                         Which, at the appointed tide, Each one did make his                      bride.                                                --Spenser.                         At the tide of Christ his birth.         --Fuller.          2. The alternate rising and falling of the waters of the             ocean, and of bays, rivers, etc., connected therewith. The             tide ebbs and flows twice in each lunar day, or the space             of a little more than twenty-four hours. It is occasioned             by the attraction of the sun and moon (the influence of             the latter being three times that of the former), acting             unequally on the waters in different parts of the earth,             thus disturbing their equilibrium. A high tide upon one             side of the earth is accompanied by a high tide upon the             opposite side. Hence, when the sun and moon are in             conjunction or opposition, as at new moon and full moon,             their action is such as to produce a greater than the             usual tide, called the {spring tide}, as represented in             the cut. When the moon is in the first or third quarter,             the sun's attraction in part counteracts the effect of the             moon's attraction, thus producing under the moon a smaller             tide than usual, called the {neap tide}.          Note: The flow or rising of the water is called flood tide,                and the reflux, ebb tide.          3. A stream; current; flood; as, a tide of blood. [bd]Let in             the tide of knaves once more; my cook and I'll             provide.[b8] --Shak.          4. Tendency or direction of causes, influences, or events;             course; current.                         There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which, taken                      at the flood, leads on to fortune.      --Shak.          5. Violent confluence. [Obs.] --Bacon.          6. (Mining) The period of twelve hours.          {Atmospheric tides}, tidal movements of the atmosphere             similar to those of the ocean, and produced in the same             manner by the attractive forces of the sun and moon.          {Inferior tide}. See under {Inferior}, a.          {To work double tides}. See under {Work}, v. t.          {Tide day}, the interval between the occurrences of two             consecutive maxima of the resultant wave at the same             place. Its length varies as the components of sun and moon             waves approach to, or recede from, one another. A             retardation from this cause is called the lagging of the             tide, while the acceleration of the recurrence of high             water is termed the priming of the tide. See {Lag of the             tide}, under 2d {Lag}.          {Tide dial}, a dial to exhibit the state of the tides at any             time.          {Tide gate}.             (a) An opening through which water may flow freely when                   the tide sets in one direction, but which closes                   automatically and prevents the water from flowing in                   the other direction.             (b) (Naut.) A place where the tide runs with great                   velocity, as through a gate.          {Tide gauge}, a gauge for showing the height of the tide;             especially, a contrivance for registering the state of the             tide continuously at every instant of time. --Brande & C.          {Tide lock}, a lock situated between an inclosed basin, or a             canal, and the tide water of a harbor or river, when they             are on different levels, so that craft can pass either way             at all times of the tide; -- called also {guard lock}.          {Tide mill}. (a) A mill operated by the tidal currents.             (b) A mill for clearing lands from tide water.          {Tide rip}, a body of water made rough by the conflict of             opposing tides or currents.          {Tide table}, a table giving the time of the rise and fall of             the tide at any place.          {Tide water}, water affected by the flow of the tide; hence,             broadly, the seaboard.          {Tide wave}, [or] {Tidal wave}, the swell of water as the             tide moves. That of the ocean is called primitive; that of             bays or channels derivative. --Whewell.          {Tide wheel}, a water wheel so constructed as to be moved by             the ebb or flow of the tide.

Indivisible;    cannot be split up.   For example, an instruction may be said to do    several things `atomically', i.e., all the things are done    immediately, and there is no chance of the instruction being    half-completed or of another being interspersed.   Used esp. to    convey that an operation cannot be screwed up by interrupts.   "This    routine locks the file and increments the file's semaphore    atomically."   2. [primarily techspeak] Guaranteed to complete    successfully or not at all, usu. refers to database transactions.    If an error prevents a partially-performed transaction from    proceeding to completion, it must be "backed out," as the database    must not be left in an inconsistent state.          Computer usage, in either of the above senses, has none of the    connotations that `atomic' has in mainstream English (i.e.   of    particles of matter, nuclear explosions etc.).

automagically /aw-toh-maj'i-klee/ adv.   Automatically, but in a    way that, for some reason (typically because it is too complicated,    or too ugly, or perhaps even too trivial), the speaker doesn't feel    like explaining to you.   See {magic}.   "The C-INTERCAL compiler    generates C, then automagically invokes `cc(1)' to produce an    executable."          This term is quite old, going back at least to the mid-70s in    jargon and probably much earlier.   The word `automagic' occurred in    advertising (for a shirt-ironing gadget) as far back as the late    1940s.

Atanasoff, John Vincent          {John Vincent Atanasoff}
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
Atanasoff-Berry Computer          (ABC) An early design for a binary calculator, one       of the predecessors of the {digital computer}.   The ABC was       partially constructed between 1937 and 1942 by Dr. {John       Vincent Atanasoff} and Clifford Berry at {Iowa State College}.       As well as {binary} arithmetic, it incorporated {regenerative       memory}, {parallel processing}, and separation of memory and       computing functions.          The electronic parts were mounted on a rotating drum, making       it hybrid electronic/electromechanical.   It was designed to       handle only a single type of mathematical problem and was not       automated.   The results of a single calculation cycle had to       be retrieved by a human operator, and fed back into the       machine with all new instructions, to perform complex       operations.   It lacked any serious form of logical control or       {conditional} statements.          Atanasoff's patent application was denied because he never       have a completed, working product.   Ideas from the ABC were       used in the design of {ENIAC} (1943-1946).          {(http://www.cs.iastate.edu/jva/jva-archive.shtml)}.          (2003-09-28)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Adonijah       my Lord is Jehovah. (1.) The fourth son of David (2 Sam. 3:4).       After the death of his elder brothers, Amnon and Absalom, he       became heir-apparent to the throne. But Solomon, a younger       brother, was preferred to him. Adonijah, however, when his       father was dying, caused himself to be proclaimed king. But       Nathan and Bathsheba induced David to give orders that Solomon       should at once be proclaimed and admitted to the throne.       Adonijah fled and took refuge at the altar, and received pardon       for his conduct from Solomon on the condition that he showed       himself "a worthy man" (1 Kings 1:5-53). He afterwards made a       second attempt to gain the throne, but was seized and put to       death (1 Kings 2:13-25).                (2.) A Levite sent with the princes to teach the book of the       law to the inhabitants of Judah (2 Chr. 17:8).                (3.) One of the "chiefs of the people" after the Captivity       (Neh. 10:16).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Adonikam       whom the Lord sets up, one of those "which came with Zerubbabel"       (Ezra 2:13). His "children," or retainers, to the number of 666,       came up to Jerusalem (8:13).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Adoni-zedec       lord of justice or righteousness, was king in Jerusalem at the       time when the Israelites invaded Palestine (Josh. 10:1,3). He       formed a confederacy with the other Canaanitish kings against       the Israelites, but was utterly routed by Joshua when he was       engaged in besieging the Gibeonites. The history of this victory       and of the treatment of the five confederated kings is recorded       in Josh. 10:1-27. (Comp. Deut. 21:23). Among the Tell Amarna       tablets (see {EGYPT}) are some very interesting letters       from Adoni-zedec to the King of Egypt. These illustrate in a       very remarkable manner the history recorded in Josh. 10, and       indeed throw light on the wars of conquest generally, so that       they may be read as a kind of commentary on the book of Joshua.       Here the conquering career of the Abiri (i.e., Hebrews) is       graphically described: "Behold, I say that the land of the king       my lord is ruined", "The wars are mighty against me", "The       Hebrew chiefs plunder all the king's lands", "Behold, I the       chief of the Amorites am breaking to pieces." Then he implores       the king of Egypt to send soldiers to help him, directing that       the army should come by sea to Ascalon or Gaza, and thence march       to Wru-sa-lim (Jerusalem) by the valley of Elah.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Athens       the capital of Attica, the most celebrated city of the ancient       world, the seat of Greek literature and art during the golden       period of Grecian history. Its inhabitants were fond of novelty       (Acts 17:21), and were remarkable for their zeal in the worship       of the gods. It was a sarcastic saying of the Roman satirist       that it was "easier to find a god at Athens than a man."                On his second missionary journey Paul visited this city (Acts       17:15; comp. 1 Thess. 3:1), and delivered in the Areopagus his       famous speech (17:22-31). The altar of which Paul there speaks       as dedicated "to the [properly "an"] unknown God" (23) was       probably one of several which bore the same inscription. It is       supposed that they originated in the practice of letting loose a       flock of sheep and goats in the streets of Athens on the       occasion of a plague, and of offering them up in sacrifice, at       the spot where they lay down, "to the god concerned."
