      2. To acquire or control for or by, or to subject to the

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Ion \I"on\, n.
      1. One of the electrified particles into which, according to
            the electrolytic dissociation theory, the molecules of
            electrolytes are divided by water and other solvents. An
            ion consists of one or more atoms and carries a unit
            charge of electricity, 3.4 x 10^{-10} electrostatic units,
            or a multiple of this. Those which are positively
            electrified (hydrogen and the metals) are called
            {cations}; negative ions (hydroxyl and acidic atoms or
            groups) are called {anions}.
  
      Note: Thus, hydrochloric acid ({HCl}) dissociates, in aqueous
               solution, into the hydrogen ion, H^{+}, and the
               chlorine ion, Cl^{-}; ferric nitrate, {Fe(NO3)3},
               yields the ferric ion, Fe^{+++}, and nitrate ions,
               NO3^{-}, NO3^{-}, NO3^{-}. When a solution containing
               ions is made part of an electric circuit, the cations
               move toward the cathode, the anions toward the anode.
               This movement is called migration, and the velocity of
               it differs for different kinds of ions. If the
               electromotive force is sufficient, electrolysis ensues:
               cations give up their charge at the cathode and
               separate in metallic form or decompose water, forming
               hydrogen and alkali; similarly, at the anode the
               element of the anion separates, or the metal of the
               anode is dissolved, or decomposition occurs.
  
      2. One of the small electrified particles into which the
            molecules of a gas are broken up under the action of the
            electric current, of ultraviolet and certain other rays,
            and of high temperatures. To the properties and behavior
            of ions the phenomena of the electric discharge through
            rarefied gases and many other important effects are
            ascribed. At low pressures the negative ions appear to be
            electrons; the positive ions, atoms minus an electron. At
            ordinary pressures each ion seems to include also a number
            of attached molecules. Ions may be formed in a gas in
            various ways.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   cationic cocktail
  
      (Or "Downy cocktail") Diluted fabric softener
      sprayed on computer room carpets to prevent static electricity
      from being built up by feet shuffling on carpet.
  
      The {canonical} cationic cocktail is one part unscented liquid
      fabric softener (in the US, usually "Downy" brand) to five
      parts water.
  
      "Cationic" is the chemical term for the most common active
      ingredient in fabric softeners.   The use of the term
      "cocktail" may be influenced by its use in other jargons,
      especially pharmacological and chemical, to denote a mixture
      which, like cationic cocktail, typically contains no alcohol
      and would be unwise to drink.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Cutting
      the flesh in various ways was an idolatrous practice, a part of
      idol-worship (Deut. 14:1; 1 Kings 18:28). The Israelites were
      commanded not to imitate this practice (Lev. 19:28; 21:5; Deut.
      14:1). The tearing of the flesh from grief and anguish of spirit
      in mourning for the dead was regarded as a mark of affection
      (Jer. 16:6; 41:5; 48:37).
     
         Allusions are made in Revelation (13:16; 17:5; 19:20) to the
      practice of printing marks on the body, to indicate allegiance
      to a deity. We find also references to it, through in a
      different direction, by Paul (Gal. 6; 7) and by Ezekiel (9:4).
