Barometer \Ba*rom"e*ter\, n. [Gr. [?] weight + -meter: cf.

It is made in its simplest form by filling                a graduated glass tube about 34 inches long with                mercury and inverting it in a cup containing mercury.                The column of mercury in the tube descends until                balanced by the weight of the atmosphere, and its rise                or fall under varying conditions is a measure of the                change in the atmospheric pressure. At the sea level                its ordinary height is about 30 inches (760                millimeters). See {Sympiesometer}. --Nichol.          {Aneroid barometer}.

The height of             the mercury in the longer leg shows the pressure of the             atmosphere.          {Wheel barometer}, a barometer with recurved tube, and a             float, from which a cord passes over a pulley and moves an             index.

bare metal n.   1. [common] New computer hardware, unadorned    with such snares and delusions as an {operating system}, an {HLL},    or even assembler.   Commonly used in the phrase `programming on the    bare metal', which refers to the arduous work of {bit bashing}    needed to create these basic tools for a new machine.   Real    bare-metal programming involves things like building boot proms and    BIOS chips, implementing basic monitors used to test device drivers,    and writing the assemblers that will be used to write the compiler    back ends that will give the new machine a real development    environment.   2. `Programming on the bare metal' is also used to    describe a style of {hand-hacking} that relies on bit-level    peculiarities of a particular hardware design, esp. tricks for speed    and space optimization that rely on crocks such as overlapping    instructions (or, as in the famous case described in {The Story of    Mel} (in Appendix A), interleaving of opcodes on a magnetic drum to    minimize fetch delays due to the device's rotational latency).   This    sort of thing has become less common as the relative costs of    programming time and machine resources have changed, but is still    found in heavily constrained environments such as industrial embedded       systems, and in the code of hackers who just can't let go of that    low-level control.   See {Real Programmer}.          In the world of personal computing, bare metal programming    (especially in sense 1 but sometimes also in sense 2) is often    considered a {Good Thing}, or at least a necessary evil (because    these machines have often been sufficiently slow and poorly designed    to make it necessary; see {ill-behaved}).   There, the term usually    refers to bypassing the BIOS or OS interface and writing the    application to directly access device registers and machine    addresses.   "To get 19.2 kilobaud on the serial port, you need to    get down to the bare metal."   People who can do this sort of thing    well are held in high regard.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Burnt offering       Hebrew _olah_; i.e., "ascending," the whole being consumed by       fire, and regarded as ascending to God while being consumed.       Part of every offering was burnt in the sacred fire, but this       was wholly burnt, a "whole burnt offering." It was the most       frequent form of sacrifice, and apparently the only one       mentioned in the book of Genesis. Such were the sacrifices       offered by Abel (Gen. 4:3, 4, here called _minhah_; i.e., "a       gift"), Noah (Gen. 8:20), Abraham (Gen. 22:2, 7, 8, 13), and by       the Hebrews in Egypt (Ex. 10:25).                The law of Moses afterwards prescribed the occasions and the       manner in which burnt sacrifices were to be offered. There were       "the continual burnt offering" (Ex. 29:38-42; Lev. 6:9-13), "the       burnt offering of every sabbath," which was double the daily one       (Num. 28:9, 10), "the burnt offering of every month" (28:11-15),       the offerings at the Passover (19-23), at Pentecost (Lev.       23:16), the feast of Trumpets (23:23-25), and on the day of       Atonement (Lev. 16).                On other occasions special sacrifices were offered, as at the       consecration of Aaron (Ex. 29) and the dedication of the temple       (1 Kings 8:5, 62-64).                Free-will burnt offerings were also permitted (Lev. 1:13), and       were offered at the accession of Solomon to the throne (1 Chr.       29:21), and at the reformation brought about by Hezekiah (2 Chr.       29: 31-35).                These offerings signified the complete dedication of the       offerers unto God. This is referred to in Rom. 12:1. (See ALTAR       ¯T0000185, {SACRIFICE}.)

Its economic health    depends on the coffee crop, which accounts for 80% of foreign exchange    earnings. The ability to pay for imports therefore continues to rest    largely on the vagaries of the climate and the international coffee    market. As part of its economic reform agenda, launched in February    1991 with IMF and World Bank support, Burundi is trying to diversify    its agricultural exports, attract foreign investment in industry, and    modernize government budgetary practices. Although the government    remains committed to reforms, it fears new austerity measures would    add to ethnic tensions.       National product: GDP - purchasing power parity - $3.7 billion (1994    est.)       National product real growth rate: -13.5% (1994 est.)       National product per capita: $600 (1994 est.)       Inflation rate (consumer prices): 10% (1993 est.)       Unemployment rate: NA%       Budget:    revenues: $318 million    expenditures: $326 million, including capital expenditures of $150    million (1991 est.)       Exports: $68 million (f.o.b., 1993)    commodities: coffee 81%, tea, cotton, hides, and skins    partners: EC 57%, US 19%, Asia 1%       Imports: $203 million (c.i.f., 1993)    commodities: capital goods 31%, petroleum products 15%, foodstuffs,    consumer goods    partners: EC 45%, Asia 29%, US 2%       External debt: $1.05 billion (1994 est.)       Industrial production: growth rate 11% (1991 est.); accounts for about    15% of GDP       Electricity:    capacity: 55,000 kW    production: 100 million kWh    consumption per capita: 20 kWh (1993)       Industries: light consumer goods such as blankets, shoes, soap;    assembly of imported components; public works construction; food    processing       Agriculture: accounts for 50% of GDP; cash crops - coffee, cotton,    tea; food crops - corn, sorghum, sweet potatoes, bananas, manioc;    livestock - meat, milk, hides and skins       Economic aid:    recipient: US commitments, including Ex-Im (FY70-89), $71 million;    Western (non-US) countries, ODA and OOF bilateral commitments    (1970-89), $10.2 billion; OPEC bilateral aid (1979-89), $32 million;    Communist countries (1970-89), $175 million       Currency: 1 Burundi franc (FBu) = 100 centimes       Exchange rates: Burundi francs (FBu) per US$1 - 248.51 (December    1994), 252.66 (1994), 242.78 (1993), 208.30 (1992), 181.51 (1991),    171.26 (1990), 158.67 (1989), 140.40 (1988)       Fiscal year: calendar year       Burundi:Transportation       Railroads: 0 km       Highways:    total: 5,900 km    paved: 640 km    unpaved: gravel, crushed stone 2,260 km; improved, unimproved earth    3,000 km (1990)       Inland waterways: Lake Tanganyika       Ports: Bujumbura       Airports:    total: 4    with paved runways over 3,047 m: 1    with paved runways under 914 m: 1    with unpaved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 2       Burundi:Communications       Telephone system: 8,000 telephones; primative system; telephone    density - 1.3 telephones/1,000 persons    local: NA    intercity: sparse system of wire, radiocommunications, and    low-capacity microwave radio relay links    international: 1 INTELSAT (Indian Ocean) earth station       Radio:    broadcast stations: AM 2, FM 2, shortwave 0    radios: NA       Television:    broadcast stations: 1    televisions: NA       Burundi:Defense Forces       Branches: Army (includes naval and air units), paramilitary    Gendarmerie       Manpower availability: males age 15-49 1,350,042; males fit for    military service 705,864; males reach military age (16) annually    73,308 (1995 est.)       Defense expenditures: exchange rate conversion - $25 million, 2.6% of    GDP (1993)
