      1. A title or degree of nobility; originally, the possessor
            of a fief, who had feudal tenants under him; in modern
            times, in France and Germany, a nobleman next in rank

   Exchequer \Ex*cheq"uer\, n. [OE. escheker, OF. eichekier, fr.

      Note: The exchequer was a court of law and equity. In the
               revenue department, it had jurisdiction over the
               proprietary rights of the crown against subjects; in
               the common law department, it administered justice in
               personal actions between subject and subject. A person
               proceeding against another in the revenue department
               was said to exchequer him. The judges of this court
               were one chief and four puisne barons, so styled. The
               Court of Exchequer Chamber sat as court of error in
               which the judgments of each of the superior courts of
               common law, in England, were subject to revision by the
               judges of the other two sitting collectively. Causes
               involving difficult questions of law were sometimes
               after argument, adjourned into this court from the
               other courts, for debate before judgment in the court
               below. Recent legislation in England (1880) has
               abolished the Court of Exchequer and the Court of
               Exchequer Chamber, as distinct tribunals, a single
               board of judiciary, the High Court of Justice, being
               established for the trial of all classes of civil
               cases. --Wharton.

      1. The luminous orb, the light of which constitutes day, and
            its absence night; the central body round which the earth
            and planets revolve, by which they are held in their

               only through the spectroscope, or at the time of a

   branch prediction
  
      A technique used in some processors
      with {instruction prefetch} to guess whether a {conditional
      branch} will be taken or not and prefetch code from the
      appropriate location.
  
      When a branch instruction is executed, its address and that of
      the next instruction executed (the chosen destination of the
      branch) are stored in the {Branch Target Buffer}.   This
      information is used to predict which way the instruction will
      branch the next time it is executed so that instruction
      prefetch can continue.   When the prediction is correct (and it
      is over 90% of the time), executing a branch does not cause a
      {pipeline break}.
  
      Some later {CPU}s simply prefetch both paths instead of trying
      to predict which way the branch will go.
  
      An extension of the idea of branch prediction is {speculative
      execution}.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Bernice
      bearer of victory, the eldest daughter of Agrippa I., the Herod
      Agrippa of Acts 12:20. After the early death of her first
      husband she was married to her uncle Herod, king of Chalcis.
      After his death (A.D. 40) she lived in incestuous connection
      with her brother Agrippa II. (Acts 25:13, 23; 26:30). They
      joined the Romans at the outbreak of the final war between them
      and the Jews, and lived afterwards at Rome.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Branch
      a symbol of kings descended from royal ancestors (Ezek. 17:3,
      10; Dan. 11:7); of prosperity (Job 8:16); of the Messiah, a
      branch out of the root of the stem of Jesse (Isa. 11:1), the
      "beautiful branch" (4:2), a "righteous branch" (Jer. 23:5), "the
      Branch" (Zech. 3:8; 6:12).
     
         Disciples are branches of the true vine (John 15:5, 6). "The
      branch of the terrible ones" (Isa. 25:5) is rightly translated
      in the Revised Version "the song of the terrible ones," i.e.,
      the song of victory shall be brought low by the destruction of
      Babylon and the return of the Jews from captivity.
     
         The "abominable branch" is a tree on which a malefactor has
      been hanged (Isa. 14:19). The "highest branch" in Ezek. 17:3
      represents Jehoiakim the king.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Brimstone
      an inflammable mineral substance found in quantities on the
      shores of the Dead Sea. The cities of the plain were destroyed
      by a rain of fire and brimstone (Gen. 19:24, 25). In Isa. 34:9
      allusion is made to the destruction of these cities. This word
      figuratively denotes destruction or punishment (Job 18:15; Isa.
      30:33; 34:9; Ps. 11:6; Ezek. 38:22). It is used to express the
      idea of excruciating torment in Rev. 14:10; 19:20; 20:10.
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
