This idea of a moral necessity or                constraint is of frequent occurrence, and is also                expressed in the phrase, [bd]I can not help it.[b8] Thus                we say. [bd]I can not but hope,[b8] [bd]I can not but                believe,[b8] [bd]I can not but think,[b8] [bd]I can not                but remark,[b8] etc., in cases in which it would be an                error to use the phrase can but.                            Yet he could not but acknowledge to himself that                         there was something calculated to impress awe, . .                         . in the sudden appearances and vanishings . . .                         of the masque                                 --De Quincey.                            Tom felt that this was a rebuff for him, and could                         not but understand it as a left-handed hit at his                         employer.                                       --Dickens.

Urea \U"re*a\, a. [NL. See {Urine}.] (Physiol. Chem.)       A very soluble crystalline body which is the chief       constituent of the urine in mammals and some other animals.       It is also present in small quantity in blood, serous fluids,       lymph, the liver, etc.          Note: It is the main product of the regressive metamorphosis                (katabolism) of proteid matter in the body, and is                excreted daily to the amount of about 500 grains by a                man of average weight. Chemically it is carbamide,                {CO(NH2)2}, and when heated with strong acids or                alkalies is decomposed into carbonic acid and ammonia.                It unites with acids to form salts, as nitrate of urea,                and it can be made synthetically from ammonium cyanate,                with which it is isomeric.          {Urea ferment}, a soluble ferment formed by certain bacteria,             which, however, yield the ferment from the body of their             cells only after they have been killed by alcohol. It             causes urea to take up water and decompose into carbonic             acid and ammonia. Many different bacteria possess this             property, especially {Bacterium ure[91]} and {Micrococcus             ure[91]}, which are found abundantly in urines undergoing             alkaline fermentation.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
can vt.   To abort a job on a time-sharing system.   Used esp.    when the person doing the deed is an operator, as in "canned from    the {{console}}".   Frequently used in an imperative sense, as in    "Can that print job, the LPT just popped a sprocket!"   Synonymous    with {gun}.   It is said that the ASCII character with mnemonic CAN    (0011000) was used as a kill-job character on some early OSes.    Alternatively, this term may derive from mainstream slang `canned'    for being laid off or fired.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Cain       a possession; a spear. (1.) The first-born son of Adam and Eve       (Gen. 4). He became a tiller of the ground, as his brother Abel       followed the pursuits of pastoral life. He was "a sullen,       self-willed, haughty, vindictive man; wanting the religious       element in his character, and defiant even in his attitude       towards God." It came to pass "in process of time" (marg. "at       the end of days"), i.e., probably on the Sabbath, that the two       brothers presented their offerings to the Lord. Abel's offering       was of the "firstlings of his flock and of the fat," while       Cain's was "of the fruit of the ground." Abel's sacrifice was       "more excellent" (Heb. 11:4) than Cain's, and was accepted by       God. On this account Cain was "very wroth," and cherished       feelings of murderous hatred against his brother, and was at       length guilty of the desperate outrage of putting him to death       (1 John 3:12). For this crime he was expelled from Eden, and       henceforth led the life of an exile, bearing upon him some mark       which God had set upon him in answer to his own cry for mercy,       so that thereby he might be protected from the wrath of his       fellow-men; or it may be that God only gave him some sign to       assure him that he would not be slain (Gen. 4:15). Doomed to be       a wanderer and a fugitive in the earth, he went forth into the       "land of Nod", i.e., the land of "exile", which is said to have       been in the "east of Eden," and there he built a city, the first       we read of, and called it after his son's name, Enoch. His       descendants are enumerated to the sixth generation. They       gradually degenerated in their moral and spiritual condition       till they became wholly corrupt before God. This corruption       prevailed, and at length the Deluge was sent by God to prevent       the final triumph of evil. (See {ABEL}.)                (2.) A town of the Kenites, a branch of the Midianites (Josh.       15:57), on the east edge of the mountain above Engedi; probably       the "nest in a rock" mentioned by Balaam (Num. 24:21). It is       identified with the modern Yekin, 3 miles south-east of Hebron.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Cana       reedy, a town of Galilee, near Capernaum. Here our Lord wrought       his first miracle, the turning of water into wine (John 2:1-11;       4:46). It is also mentioned as the birth-place of Nathanael       (21:2). It is not mentioned in the Old Testament. It has been       identified with the modern Kana el-Jelil, also called Khurbet       Kana, a place 8 or 9 miles north of Nazareth. Others have       identified it with Kefr Kenna, which lies on the direct road to       the Sea of Galilee, about 5 miles north-east of Nazareth, and 12       in a direct course from Tiberias. It is called "Cana of       Galilee," to distinguish it from Cana of Asher (Josh. 19:28).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Cane       a tall sedgy plant with a hollow stem, growing in moist places.       In Isa. 43:24; Jer. 6:20, the Hebrew word _kaneh_ is thus       rendered, giving its name to the plant. It is rendered "reed" in       1 Kings 14:15; Job 40:21; Isa. 19:6; 35:7. In Ps. 68:30 the       expression "company of spearmen" is in the margin and the       Revised Version "beasts of the reeds," referring probably to the       crocodile or the hippopotamus as a symbol of Egypt. In 2 Kings       18:21; Isa. 36:6; Ezek. 29:6, 7, the reference is to the weak,       fragile nature of the reed. (See {CALAMUS}.)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Canneh       Mentioned only in Ezek. 27:23. (See {CALNEH}.)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Chain       (1.) A part of the insignia of office. A chain of gold was       placed about Joseph's neck (Gen. 41:42); and one was promised to       Daniel (5:7). It is used as a symbol of sovereignty (Ezek.       16:11). The breast-plate of the high-priest was fastened to the       ephod by golden chains (Ex. 39:17, 21).                (2.) It was used as an ornament (Prov. 1:9; Cant. 1:10). The       Midianites adorned the necks of their camels with chains (Judg.       8:21, 26).                (3.) Chains were also used as fetters wherewith prisoners were       bound (Judg. 16:21; 2 Sam. 3:34; 2 Kings 25:7; Jer. 39:7). Paul       was in this manner bound to a Roman soldier (Acts 28:20; Eph.       6:20; 2 Tim. 1:16). Sometimes, for the sake of greater security,       the prisoner was attached by two chains to two soldiers, as in       the case of Peter (Acts 12:6).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Chenaiah       whom Jehovah hath made. "Chief of the Levites," probably a       Kohathite (1 Chr. 15:22), and therefore not the same as       mentioned in 26:29.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Chiun       occurs only in Amos 5:26 (R.V. marg., "shrine"). The LXX.       translated the word by Rhephan, which became corrupted into       Remphan, as used by Stephen (Acts 7:43; but R.V., "Rephan").       Probably the planet Saturn is intended by the name. Astrologers       represented this planet as baleful in its influences, and hence       the Phoenicians offered to it human sacrifices, especially       children.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Chun       one of the cities of Hadarezer, king of Syria. David procured       brass (i.e., bronze or copper) from it for the temple (1 Chr.       18:8). It is called Berothai in 2 Sam. 8:8; probably the same as       Berothah in Ezek. 47:16.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Coin       Before the Exile the Jews had no regularly stamped money. They       made use of uncoined shekels or talents of silver, which they       weighed out (Gen. 23:16; Ex. 38:24; 2 Sam. 18:12). Probably the       silver ingots used in the time of Abraham may have been of a       fixed weight, which was in some way indicated on them. The       "pieces of silver" paid by Abimelech to Abraham (Gen. 20:16),       and those also for which Joseph was sold (37:28), were proably       in the form of rings. The shekel was the common standard of       weight and value among the Hebrews down to the time of the       Captivity. Only once is a shekel of gold mentioned (1 Chr.       21:25). The "six thousand of gold" mentioned in the transaction       between Naaman and Gehazi (2 Kings 5:5) were probably so many       shekels of gold. The "piece of money" mentioned in Job 42:11;       Gen. 33:19 (marg., "lambs") was the Hebrew _kesitah_, probably       an uncoined piece of silver of a certain weight in the form of a       sheep or lamb, or perhaps having on it such an impression. The       same Hebrew word is used in Josh. 24:32, which is rendered by       Wickliffe "an hundred yonge scheep."
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Coney       (Heb. shaphan; i.e., "the hider"), an animal which inhabits the       mountain gorges and the rocky districts of Arabia Petraea and       the Holy Land. "The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they       their houses in the rocks" (Prov. 30:26; Ps. 104:18). They are       gregarious, and "exceeding wise" (Prov. 30:24), and are       described as chewing the cud (Lev. 11:5; Deut. 14:7).                The animal intended by this name is known among naturalists as       the Hyrax Syriacus. It is neither a ruminant nor a rodent, but       is regarded as akin to the rhinoceros. When it is said to "chew       the cud," the Hebrew word so used does not necessarily imply the       possession of a ruminant stomach. "The lawgiver speaks according       to appearances; and no one can watch the constant motion of the       little creature's jaws, as it sits continually working its       teeth, without recognizing the naturalness of the expression"       (Tristram, Natural History of the Bible). It is about the size       and color of a rabbit, though clumsier in structure, and without       a tail. Its feet are not formed for digging, and therefore it       has its home not in burrows but in the clefts of the rocks.       "Coney" is an obsolete English word for "rabbit."

To this end the authorities switched to a system of household    responsibility in agriculture in place of the old collectivization,    increased the authority of local officials and plant managers in    industry, permitted a wide variety of small-scale enterprise in    services and light manufacturing, and opened the economy to increased    foreign trade and investment. The result has been a strong surge in    production, particularly in agriculture in the early 1980s. Industry    also has posted major gains, especially in coastal areas near Hong    Kong and opposite Taiwan, where foreign investment and modern    production methods have helped spur production of both domestic and    export goods. Aggregate output has more than doubled since 1978. On    the darker side, the leadership has often experienced in its hybrid    system the worst results of socialism (bureaucracy, lassitude,    corruption) and of capitalism (windfall gains and stepped-up    inflation). Beijing thus has periodically backtracked, retightening    central controls at intervals. In 1992-94 annual growth of GDP    accelerated, particularly in the coastal areas - to more than 10%    annually according to official claims. In late 1993 China's leadership    approved additional long-term reforms aimed at giving more play to    market-oriented institutions and at strengthening the center's control    over the financial system. In 1994 strong growth continued in the    widening market-oriented areas of the economy. At the same time, the    government struggled to (a) collect revenues due from provinces,    businesses, and individuals; (b) keep inflation within bounds; (c)    reduce extortion and other economic crimes; and (d) keep afloat the    large state-owned enterprises, most of which had not participated in    the vigorous expansion of the economy. From 60 to 100 million surplus    rural workers are adrift between the villages and the cities, many    barely subsisting through part-time low-pay jobs. Popular resistance,    changes in central policy, and loss of authority by rural cadres have    weakened China's population control program, which is essential to the    nation's long-term economic viability. One of the most dangerous    long-term threats to continued rapid economic growth is the    deterioration in the environment, notably air pollution, soil erosion,    and the steady fall of the water table especially in the north.       National product: GDP - purchasing power parity - $2.9788 trillion    (1994 estimate as extrapolated from World Bank estimate for 1992 by    use of official Chinese growth statistics for 1993-94; because of the    difficulties with official statistics in this time of rapid change,    the result may overstate China's GDP by as much as 25%)       National product real growth rate: 11.8% (1994 est.)       National product per capita: $2,500 (1994 est.)       Inflation rate (consumer prices): 25.5% (December 1994 over December    1993)       Unemployment rate: 2.7% in urban areas (1994);
