Cloud \Cloud\ (kloud), n. [Prob. fr. AS. cl[umac]d a rock or       hillock, the application arising from the frequent       resemblance of clouds to rocks or hillocks in the sky or       air.]       1. A collection of visible vapor, or watery particles,             suspended in the upper atmosphere.                         I do set my bow in the cloud.            --Gen. ix. 13.          Note: A classification of clouds according to their chief                forms was first proposed by the meteorologist Howard,                and this is still substantially employed. The following                varieties and subvarieties are recognized:             (a) {Cirrus}. This is the most elevated of all the forms                   of clouds; is thin, long-drawn, sometimes looking like                   carded wool or hair, sometimes like a brush or room,                   sometimes in curl-like or fleecelike patches. It is                   the cat's-tail of the sailor, and the mare's-tail of                   the landsman.             (b) {Cumulus}. This form appears in large masses of a                   hemispherical form, or nearly so, above, but flat                   below, one often piled above another, forming great                   clouds, common in the summer, and presenting the                   appearance of gigantic mountains crowned with snow. It                   often affords rain and thunder gusts.             (c) {Stratus}. This form appears in layers or bands                   extending horizontally.             (d) {Nimbus}. This form is characterized by its uniform                   gray tint and ragged edges; it covers the sky in                   seasons of continued rain, as in easterly storms, and                   is the proper rain cloud. The name is sometimes used                   to denote a raining cumulus, or cumulostratus.             (e) {Cirro-cumulus}. This form consists, like the cirrus,                   of thin, broken, fleecelice clouds, but the parts are                   more or less rounded and regulary grouped. It is                   popularly called mackerel sky.             (f) {Cirro-stratus}. In this form the patches of cirrus                   coalesce in long strata, between cirrus and stratus.             (g) {Cumulo-stratus}. A form between cumulus and stratus,                   often assuming at the horizon a black or bluish tint.                   -- {Fog}, cloud, motionless, or nearly so, lying near                   or in contact with the earth's surface. -- {Storm                   scud}, cloud lying quite low, without form, and driven                   rapidly with the wind.          2. A mass or volume of smoke, or flying dust, resembling             vapor. [bd]A thick cloud of incense.[b8] --Ezek. viii. 11.          3. A dark vein or spot on a lighter material, as in marble;             hence, a blemish or defect; as, a cloud upon one's             reputation; a cloud on a title.          4. That which has a dark, lowering, or threatening aspect;             that which temporarily overshadows, obscures, or             depresses; as, a cloud of sorrow; a cloud of war; a cloud             upon the intellect.          5. A great crowd or multitude; a vast collection. [bd]So             great a cloud of witnesses.[b8] --Heb. xii. 1.          6. A large, loosely-knitted scarf, worn by women about the             head.          {Cloud on a} (or the) {title} (Law), a defect of title,             usually superficial and capable of removal by release,             decision in equity, or legislation.          {To be under a cloud}, to be under suspicion or in disgrace;             to be in disfavor.          {In the clouds}, in the realm of facy and imagination; beyond             reason; visionary.

Coerce \Co*erce"\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Coerced}; p. pr. & vb.       n. {Coercing}.] [L. co[89]rcere; co- + arcere to shut up, to       press together. See {Ark}.]       1. To restrain by force, especially by law or authority; to             repress; to curb. --Burke.                         Punishments are manifold, that they may coerce this                      profligate sort.                                 --Ayliffe.          2. To compel or constrain to any action; as, to coerce a man             to vote for a certain candidate.          3. To compel or enforce; as, to coerce obedience.          Syn: To {Coerce}, {Compel}.          Usage: To compel denotes to urge on by force which cannot be                   resisted. The term aplies equally to physical and                   moral force; as, compelled by hunger; compelled                   adverse circumstances; compelled by parental                   affection. Coerce had at first only the negative sense                   of checking or restraining by force; as, to coerce a                   bad man by punishments or a prisoner with fetters. It                   has now gained a positive sense., viz., that of                   driving a person into the performance of some act                   which is required of him by another; as, to coerce a                   man to sign a contract; to coerce obedience. In this                   sense (which is now the prevailing one), coerce                   differs but little from compel, and yet there is a                   distinction between them. Coercion is usually                   acomplished by indirect means, as threats and                   intimidation, physical force being more rarely                   employed in coercing.

Courage is that                   firmness of spirit and swell of soul which meets                   danger without fear. Bravery is daring and impetuous                   courage, like that of one who has the reward                   continually in view, and displays his courage in                   daring acts.

Valor is courage exhibited in                   war, and can not be applied to single combats; it is                   never used figuratively. Intrepidity is firm, unshaken                   courage. Gallantry is adventurous courage, which                   courts danger with a high and cheerful spirit. A man                   may show courage, fortitude, or intrepidity in the                   common pursuits of life, as well as in war. Valor,                   bravery, and gallantry are displayed in the contest of                   arms. Valor belongs only to battle; bravery may be                   shown in single combat; gallantry may be manifested                   either in attack or defense; but in the latter ease,                   the defense is usually turned into an attack.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
crash   1. n. A sudden, usually drastic failure.   Most often    said of the {system} (q.v., sense 1), esp. of magnetic disk drives    (the term originally described what happens when the air gap of a    hard disk collapses).   "Three {luser}s lost their files in last    night's disk crash."   A disk crash that involves the read/write    heads dropping onto the surface of the disks and scraping off the    oxide may also be referred to as a `head crash', whereas the term    `system crash' usually, though not always, implies that the    operating system or other software was at fault.   2. v. To fail    suddenly.   "Has the system just crashed?"   "Something crashed the    OS!" See {down}.   Also used transitively to indicate the cause of    the crash (usually a person or a program, or both).   "Those idiots    playing {SPACEWAR} crashed the system." 3. vi.   Sometimes said of    people hitting the sack after a long {hacking run}; see {gronk out}.
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
crock n.   [from the American scatologism `crock of shit'] 1. An    awkward feature or programming technique that ought to be made    cleaner.   For example, using small integers to represent error codes    without the program interpreting them to the user (as in, for    example, Unix `make(1)', which returns code 139 for a process that    dies due to {segfault}).   2. A technique that works acceptably, but    which is quite prone to failure if disturbed in the least.   For    example, a too-clever programmer might write an assembler which    mapped instruction mnemonics to numeric opcodes algorithmically, a    trick which depends far too intimately on the particular bit    patterns of the opcodes.   (For another example of programming with a    dependence on actual opcode values, see {The Story of Mel} in    Appendix A.)   Many crocks have a tightly woven, almost completely    unmodifiable structure.   See {kluge}, {brittle}.   The adjectives    `crockish' and `crocky', and the nouns `crockishness' and    `crockitude', are also used.

crash          1. A sudden, usually drastic failure.   Most often said of the       {system}, especially of magnetic disk drives (the term       originally described what happened when the air gap of a hard       disk collapses).   "Three {lusers} lost their files in last       night's disk crash."   A disk crash that involves the       read/write heads dropping onto the surface of the disks and       scraping off the oxide may also be referred to as a "head       crash", whereas the term "system crash" usually, though not       always, implies that the operating system or other software       was at fault.          2. To fail suddenly.   "Has the system just crashed?"       "Something crashed the OS!" See {down}.   Also used       transitively to indicate the cause of the crash (usually a       person or a program, or both).   "Those idiots playing       {SPACEWAR} crashed the system."          [{Jargon File}]          (1994-12-01)

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
crock          [American scatologism "crock of shit"] 1. An awkward feature       or programming technique that ought to be made cleaner.   For       example, using small integers to represent error codes without       the program interpreting them to the user (as in, for example,       Unix "make(1)", which returns code 139 for a process that dies       due to {segfault}).          2. A technique that works acceptably, but which is quite prone       to failure if disturbed in the least.   For example, a       too-clever programmer might write an assembler which mapped       {instruction mnemonics} to numeric {opcode}s       {algorithm}ically, a trick which depends far too intimately on       the particular bit patterns of the opcodes.   (For another       example of programming with a dependence on actual opcode       values, see {The Story of Mel}.)   Many crocks have a tightly       woven, almost completely unmodifiable structure.   See {kluge},       {brittle}.   The adjectives "crockish" and "crocky", and the       nouns "crockishness" and "crockitude", are also used.          [{Jargon File}]

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Carriage       In the Authorized Version this word is found as the rendering of       many different words. In Judg. 18:21 it means valuables, wealth,       or booty. In Isa. 46:1 (R.V., "the things that ye carried       about") the word means a load for a beast of burden. In 1 Sam.       17:22 and Isa. 10:28 it is the rendering of a word ("stuff" in 1       Sam. 10:22) meaning implements, equipments, baggage. The phrase       in Acts 21:15, "We took up our carriages," means properly, "We       packed up our baggage," as in the Revised Version.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Church       Derived probably from the Greek kuriakon (i.e., "the Lord's       house"), which was used by ancient authors for the place of       worship.                In the New Testament it is the translation of the Greek word       ecclesia, which is synonymous with the Hebrew _kahal_ of the Old       Testament, both words meaning simply an assembly, the character       of which can only be known from the connection in which the word       is found. There is no clear instance of its being used for a       place of meeting or of worship, although in post-apostolic times       it early received this meaning. Nor is this word ever used to       denote the inhabitants of a country united in the same       profession, as when we say the "Church of England," the "Church       of Scotland," etc.                We find the word ecclesia used in the following senses in the       New Testament: (1.) It is translated "assembly" in the ordinary       classical sense (Acts 19:32, 39, 41).                (2.) It denotes the whole body of the redeemed, all those whom       the Father has given to Christ, the invisible catholic church       (Eph. 5:23, 25, 27, 29; Heb. 12:23).                (3.) A few Christians associated together in observing the       ordinances of the gospel are an ecclesia (Rom. 16:5; Col. 4:15).                (4.) All the Christians in a particular city, whether they       assembled together in one place or in several places for       religious worship, were an ecclesia. Thus all the disciples in       Antioch, forming several congregations, were one church (Acts       13:1); so also we read of the "church of God at Corinth" (1 Cor.       1:2), "the church at Jerusalem" (Acts 8:1), "the church of       Ephesus" (Rev. 2:1), etc.                (5.) The whole body of professing Christians throughout the       world (1 Cor. 15:9; Gal. 1:13; Matt. 16:18) are the church of       Christ.                The church visible "consists of all those throughout the world       that profess the true religion, together with their children."       It is called "visible" because its members are known and its       assemblies are public. Here there is a mixture of "wheat and       chaff," of saints and sinners. "God has commanded his people to       organize themselves into distinct visible ecclesiastical       communities, with constitutions, laws, and officers, badges,       ordinances, and discipline, for the great purpose of giving       visibility to his kingdom, of making known the gospel of that       kingdom, and of gathering in all its elect subjects. Each one of       these distinct organized communities which is faithful to the       great King is an integral part of the visible church, and all       together constitute the catholic or universal visible church." A       credible profession of the true religion constitutes a person a       member of this church. This is "the kingdom of heaven," whose       character and progress are set forth in the parables recorded in       Matt. 13.                The children of all who thus profess the true religion are       members of the visible church along with their parents. Children       are included in every covenant God ever made with man. They go       along with their parents (Gen. 9:9-17; 12:1-3; 17:7; Ex. 20:5;       Deut. 29:10-13). Peter, on the day of Pentecost, at the       beginning of the New Testament dispensation, announces the same       great principle. "The promise [just as to Abraham and his seed       the promises were made] is unto you, and to your children" (Acts       2:38, 39). The children of believing parents are "holy", i.e.,       are "saints", a title which designates the members of the       Christian church (1 Cor. 7:14). (See {BAPTISM}.)                The church invisible "consists of the whole number of the       elect that have been, are, or shall be gathered into one under       Christ, the head thereof." This is a pure society, the church in       which Christ dwells. It is the body of Christ. it is called       "invisible" because the greater part of those who constitute it       are already in heaven or are yet unborn, and also because its       members still on earth cannot certainly be distinguished. The       qualifications of membership in it are internal and are hidden.       It is unseen except by Him who "searches the heart." "The Lord       knoweth them that are his" (2 Tim. 2:19).                The church to which the attributes, prerogatives, and promises       appertaining to Christ's kingdom belong, is a spiritual body       consisting of all true believers, i.e., the church invisible.                (1.) Its unity. God has ever had only one church on earth. We       sometimes speak of the Old Testament Church and of the New       Testament church, but they are one and the same. The Old       Testament church was not to be changed but enlarged (Isa.       49:13-23; 60:1-14). When the Jews are at length restored, they       will not enter a new church, but will be grafted again into       "their own olive tree" (Rom. 11:18-24; comp. Eph. 2:11-22). The       apostles did not set up a new organization. Under their ministry       disciples were "added" to the "church" already existing (Acts       2:47).                (2.) Its universality. It is the "catholic" church; not       confined to any particular country or outward organization, but       comprehending all believers throughout the whole world.                (3.) Its perpetuity. It will continue through all ages to the       end of the world. It can never be destroyed. It is an       "everlasting kindgdom."
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Cross       in the New Testament the instrument of crucifixion, and hence       used for the crucifixion of Christ itself (Eph. 2:16; Heb. 12:2;       1 Cor. 1:17, 18; Gal. 5:11; 6:12, 14; Phil. 3:18). The word is       also used to denote any severe affliction or trial (Matt. 10:38;       16:24; Mark 8:34; 10:21).                The forms in which the cross is represented are these:                1. The crux simplex (I), a "single piece without transom."                2. The crux decussata (X), or St. Andrew's cross.                3. The crux commissa (T), or St. Anthony's cross.                4. The crux immissa (t), or Latin cross, which was the kind of       cross on which our Saviour died. Above our Lord's head, on the       projecting beam, was placed the "title." (See {CRUCIFIXION}.)                After the conversion, so-called, of Constantine the Great       (B.C. 313), the cross first came into use as an emblem of       Christianity. He pretended at a critical moment that he saw a       flaming cross in the heavens bearing the inscription, "In hoc       signo vinces", i.e., By this sign thou shalt conquer, and that       on the following night Christ himself appeared and ordered him       to take for his standard the sign of this cross. In this form a       new standard, called the Labarum, was accordingly made, and       borne by the Roman armies. It remained the standard of the Roman       army till the downfall of the Western empire. It bore the       embroidered monogram of Christ, i.e., the first two Greek       letters of his name, X and P (chi and rho), with the Alpha and       Omega. (See {A}.)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Cruse       a utensil; a flask or cup for holding water (1 Sam. 26:11, 12,       16; 1 Kings 19:6) or oil (1 Kings 17:12, 14, 16). In 1 Kings       14:3 the word there so rendered means properly a bottle, as in       Jer. 19:1, 10, or pitcher. In 2 Kings 2:20, a platter or flat       metal saucer is intended. The Hebrew word here used is       translated "dish" in 21:13; "pans," in 2 Chr. 35:13; and       "bosom," in Prov. 19:24; 26:15 (R.V., "dish").
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Curse       denounced by God against the serpent (Gen. 3:14), and against       Cain (4:11). These divine maledictions carried their effect with       them. Prophetical curses were sometimes pronounced by holy men       (Gen. 9:25; 49:7; Deut. 27:15; Josh. 6:26). Such curses are not       the consequence of passion or revenge, they are predictions.                No one on pain of death shall curse father or mother (Ex.       21:17), nor the prince of his people (22:28), nor the deaf (Lev.       19:14). Cursing God or blaspheming was punishable by death (Lev.       24:10-16). The words "curse God and die" (R.V., "renounce God       and die"), used by Job's wife (Job 2:9), have been variously       interpreted. Perhaps they simply mean that as nothing but death       was expected, God would by this cursing at once interpose and       destroy Job, and so put an end to his sufferings.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Cyrus       (Heb. Ko'resh), the celebrated "King of Persia" (Elam) who was       conqueror of Babylon, and issued the decree of liberation to the       Jews (Ezra 1:1, 2). He was the son of Cambyses, the prince of       Persia, and was born about B.C. 599. In the year B.C. 559 he       became king of Persia, the kingdom of Media being added to it       partly by conquest. Cyrus was a great military leader, bent on       universal conquest. Babylon fell before his army (B.C. 538) on       the night of Belshazzar's feast (Dan. 5:30), and then the       ancient dominion of Assyria was also added to his empire (cf.,       "Go up, O Elam", Isa.21:2).                Hitherto the great kings of the earth had only oppressed the       Jews. Cyrus was to them as a "shepherd" (Isa. 44:28; 45:1). God       employed him in doing service to his ancient people. He may       posibly have gained, through contact with the Jews, some       knowledge of their religion.                The "first year of Cyrus" (Ezra 1:1) is not the year of his       elevation to power over the Medes, nor over the Persians, nor       the year of the fall of Babylon, but the year succeeding the two       years during which "Darius the Mede" was viceroy in Babylon       after its fall. At this time only (B.C. 536) Cyrus became actual       king over Palestine, which became a part of his Babylonian       empire. The edict of Cyrus for the rebuilding of Jerusalem       marked a great epoch in the history of the Jewish people (2 Chr.       36:22, 23; Ezra 1:1-4; 4:3; 5:13-17; 6:3-5).                This decree was discovered "at Achmetha [R.V. marg.,       "Ecbatana"], in the palace that is in the province of the Medes"       (Ezra 6:2). A chronicle drawn up just after the conquest of       Babylonia by Cyrus, gives the history of the reign of Nabonidus       (Nabunahid), the last king of Babylon, and of the fall of the       Babylonian empire. In B.C. 538 there was a revolt in Southern       Babylonia, while the army of Cyrus entered the country from the       north. In June the Babylonian army was completely defeated at       Opis, and immediately afterwards Sippara opened its gates to the       conqueror. Gobryas (Ugbaru), the governor of Kurdistan, was then       sent to Babylon, which surrendered "without fighting," and the       daily services in the temples continued without a break. In       October, Cyrus himself arrived, and proclaimed a general       amnesty, which was communicated by Gobryas to "all the province       of Babylon," of which he had been made governor. Meanwhile,       Nabonidus, who had concealed himself, was captured, but treated       honourably; and when his wife died, Cambyses, the son of Cyrus,       conducted the funeral. Cyrus now assumed the title of "king of       Babylon," claimed to be the descendant of the ancient kings, and       made rich offerings to the temples. At the same time he allowed       the foreign populations who had been deported to Babylonia to       return to their old homes, carrying with them the images of       their gods. Among these populations were the Jews, who, as they       had no images, took with them the sacred vessels of the temple.
