calling convention          The arrangement of {arguments} for a procedure       or function call.   Different programming languages may require       arguments to be pushed onto a {stack} or entered in       {registers} in left-to-right or right-to left order, and       either the caller or the callee can be responsible for       removing the arguments.   The calling convention also       determines if a variable number of arguments is allowed.          (1995-11-11)

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol          (CHAP) An       {authentication} scheme used by {PPP} servers to validate the       identity of the originator of the connection upon connection       or any time later.          CHAP applies a three-way {handshaking} procedure.   After the       link is established, the server sends a "challenge" message to       the originator.   The originator responds with a value       calculated using a {one-way hash function}.   The server checks       the response against its own calculation of the expected hash       value.   If the values match, the authentication is       acknowledged; otherwise the connection is usually terminated.          CHAP provides protection against {playback} attack through the       use of an incrementally changing identifier and a variable       challenge value.   The authentication can be repeated any time       while the connection is open limiting the time of exposure to       any single attack, and the server is in control of the       frequency and timing of the challenges.   As a result, CHAP       provides greater security then {PAP}.          CHAP is defined in {RFC} 1334.          (1996-03-05)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Calamus       the Latin for cane, Hebrew _Kaneh_, mentioned (Ex. 30:23) as one       of the ingredients in the holy anointing oil, one of the sweet       scents (Cant. 4:14), and among the articles sold in the markets       of Tyre (Ezek. 27:19). The word designates an Oriental plant       called the "sweet flag," the Acorus calamus of Linnaeus. It is       elsewhere called "sweet cane" (Isa. 43:24; Jer. 6:20). It has an       aromatic smell, and when its knotted stalk is cut and dried and       reduced to powder, it forms an ingredient in the most precious       perfumes. It was not a native of Palestine, but was imported       from Arabia Felix or from India. It was probably that which is       now known in India by the name of "lemon grass" or "ginger       grass," the Andropogon schoenanthus. (See {CANE}.)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Calling       a profession, or as we usually say, a vocation (1 Cor. 7:20).       The "hope of your calling" in Eph. 4:4 is the hope resulting       from your being called into the kingdom of God.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Ceiling       the covering (1 Kings 7:3,7) of the inside roof and walls of a       house with planks of wood (2 Chr. 3:5; Jer. 22:14). Ceilings       were sometimes adorned with various ornaments in stucco, gold,       silver, gems, and ivory. The ceilings of the temple and of       Solomon's palace are described 1 Kings 6:9, 15; 7:3; 2 Chr.       3:5,9.
