CLP(R)          Constraint Logic Programming (Real).          A {constraint logic programming} language with {real}       arithmetic {constraint}s developed by Joxan Jaffar       of {IBM} {TJWRC} and S. Michaylov of       {Monash University} in 1986.          The implementation contains a {byte-code compiler} and a       built-in constraint solver which deals with linear arithmetic       and contains a mechanism for delaying {nonlinear} constraints       until they become linear.   Since CLP(R) is a superse of       {PROLOG}, the system is also usable as a general-purpose       {logic programming} language.   There are also powerful       facilities for {meta programming} with constraints.          Significant CLP(R) applications have been published in diverse       areas such as molecular biology, finance and physical       modelling.          Version 1.2 for {Unix}, {MS-DOS} and {OS/2} is available from       the authors.   It is free for academic and research purposes.          E-mail: Roland Yap .          ["The CLP(R) Language and System", J.

californium    Symbol: Cf    Atomic number: 98    Atomic weight: (249)    Radioactive metallic transuranic element. Belongs to actinoid series.    Cf-251 has a half life of about 700 years. Nine isotopes are known.    Cf-252 is an intense {neutron} source, which makes it an intense    {neutron} source and gives it a use in {neutron} activation analysis    and a possible use as a radiation source in medicine.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Calvary       only in Luke 23:33, the Latin name Calvaria, which was used as a       translation of the Greek word _Kranion_, by which the Hebrew       word _Gulgoleth_ was interpreted, "the place of a skull." It       probably took this name from its shape, being a hillock or low,       rounded, bare elevation somewhat in the form of a human skull.       It is nowhere in Scripture called a "hill." The crucifixion of       our Lord took place outside the city walls (Heb. 13:11-13) and       near the public thoroughfare. "This thing was not done in a       corner." (See {GOLGOTHA}.)
