   Exchequer \Ex*cheq"uer\, n. [OE. escheker, OF. eichekier, fr.
      LL. scaccarium. See {Checker}, {Chess}, {Check}.]
      1. One of the superior courts of law; -- so called from a
            checkered cloth, which covers, or formerly covered, the
            table. [Eng.]
  
      Note: The exchequer was a court of law and equity. In the
               revenue department, it had jurisdiction over the
               proprietary rights of the crown against subjects; in
               the common law department, it administered justice in
               personal actions between subject and subject. A person
               proceeding against another in the revenue department
               was said to exchequer him. The judges of this court
               were one chief and four puisne barons, so styled. The
               Court of Exchequer Chamber sat as court of error in
               which the judgments of each of the superior courts of
               common law, in England, were subject to revision by the
               judges of the other two sitting collectively. Causes
               involving difficult questions of law were sometimes
               after argument, adjourned into this court from the
               other courts, for debate before judgment in the court
               below. Recent legislation in England (1880) has
               abolished the Court of Exchequer and the Court of
               Exchequer Chamber, as distinct tribunals, a single
               board of judiciary, the High Court of Justice, being
               established for the trial of all classes of civil
               cases. --Wharton.
  
      2. The department of state having charge of the collection
            and management of the royal revenue. [Eng.] Hence, the
            treasury; and, colloquially, pecuniary possessions in
            general; as, the company's exchequer is low.
  
      {Barons of the exchequer}. See under {Baron}.
  
      {Chancellor of the exchequer}. See under {Chancellor}.
  
      {Exchequer} {bills [or] bonds} (Eng.), bills of money, or
            promissory bills, issued from the exchequer by authority
            of Parliament; a species of paper currency emitted under
            the authority of the government, and bearing interest.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Attraction \At*trac"tion\, n. [L. attractio: cf. F. attraction.]
      1. (Physics) An invisible power in a body by which it draws
            anything to itself; the power in nature acting mutually
            between bodies or ultimate particles, tending to draw them
            together, or to produce their cohesion or combination, and
            conversely resisting separation.
  
      Note: Attraction is exerted at both sensible and insensible
               distances, and is variously denominated according to
               its qualities or phenomena. Under attraction at
               sensible distances, there are, -- (1.)
  
      {Attraction of gravitation}, which acts at all distances
            throughout the universe, with a force proportional
            directly to the product of the masses of the bodies and
            inversely to the square of their distances apart. (2.)
  
      {Magnetic}, {diamagnetic}, and {electrical attraction}, each
            of which is limited in its sensible range and is polar in
            its action, a property dependent on the quality or
            condition of matter, and not on its quantity. Under
            attraction at insensible distances, there are, -- (1.)
  
      {Adhesive attraction}, attraction between surfaces of
            sensible extent, or by the medium of an intervening
            substance. (2.)
  
      {Cohesive attraction}, attraction between ultimate particles,
            whether like or unlike, and causing simply an aggregation
            or a union of those particles, as in the absorption of
            gases by charcoal, or of oxygen by spongy platinum, or the
            process of solidification or crystallization. The power in
            adhesive attraction is strictly the same as that of
            cohesion. (3.)
  
      {Capillary attraction}, attraction causing a liquid to rise,
            in capillary tubes or interstices, above its level
            outside, as in very small glass tubes, or a sponge, or any
            porous substance, when one end is inserted in the liquid.
            It is a special case of cohesive attraction. (4.)
  
      {Chemical attraction}, or
  
      {affinity}, that peculiar force which causes elementary
            atoms, or groups of atoms, to unite to form molecules.
  
      2. The act or property of attracting; the effect of the power
            or operation of attraction. --Newton.
  
      3. The power or act of alluring, drawing to, inviting, or
            engaging; an attractive quality; as, the attraction of
            beauty or eloquence.
  
      4. That which attracts; an attractive object or feature.
  
      Syn: Allurement; enticement; charm.

            uniting chemically, produce explosion.
  
      {Concussion fuze}, a fuze ignited by the striking of the
            projectile.
  
      {Electric fuze}, a fuze which is ignited by heat or a spark
            produced by an electric current.

   Solution \So*lu"tion\ (s[osl]*l[umac]"sh[ucr]n), n. [OE.
      solucion, OF. solucion, F. solution, fr. L. solutio, fr.
      solvere, solutum, to loosen, dissolve. See {Solve}.]
      1. The act of separating the parts of any body, or the
            condition of undergoing a separation of parts; disruption;
            breach.
  
                     In all bodies there is an appetite of union and
                     evitation of solution of continuity.   --Bacon.
  
      2. The act of solving, or the state of being solved; the
            disentanglement of any intricate problem or difficult
            question; explanation; clearing up; -- used especially in
            mathematics, either of the process of solving an equation
            or problem, or the result of the process.

                     It is unquestionably an enterprise of more promise
                     to assail the nations in their hour of faintness and
                     solution, than at a time when magnificent and
                     seductive systems of worship were at their height of
                     energy and splendor.                           --I. Taylor.
  
      4. (Chem.Phys.) The act or process by which a body (whether
            solid, liquid, or gaseous) is absorbed into a liquid, and,
            remaining or becoming fluid, is diffused throughout the
            solvent; also, the product reulting from such absorption.
  
      Note: When a solvent will not take in any more of a substance
               the solution is said to be saturated. Solution is two
               kinds; viz.: (a) {Mechanical solution}, in which no
               marked chemical change takes place, and in which, in
               the case of solids, the dissolved body can be regained
               by evaporation, as in the solution of salt or sugar in
               water. (b) {Chemical solution}, in which there is
               involved a decided chemical change, as when limestone
               or zinc undergoes solution in hydrochloric acid.
               {Mechanical solution} is regarded as a form of
               molecular or atomic attraction, and is probably
               occasioned by the formation of certain very weak and
               unstable compounds which are easily dissociated and
               pass into new and similar compounds.
  
      Note: This word is not used in chemistry or mineralogy for
               fusion, or the melting of bodies by the heat of fire.
  
      5. release; deliverance; discharge. [Obs.] --Barrow.
  
      6. (Med.)

      {Fehling's solution} (Chem.), a standardized solution of
            cupric hydrate in sodium potassium tartrate, used as a

      {Heavy solution} (Min.), a liquid of high density, as a
            solution of mercuric iodide in potassium iodide (called
            the Sonstadt or Thoulet solution) having a maximum
            specific gravity of 3.2, or of borotungstate of cadium
            (Klein solution, specific gravity 3.6), and the like. Such
            solutions are much used in determining the specific
            gravities of minerals, and in separating them when
            mechanically mixed as in a pulverized rock.
  
      {Nessler's solution}. See {Nesslerize}.
  
      {Solution of continuity}, the separation of connection, or of
            connected substances or parts; -- applied, in surgery, to
            a fracture, laceration, or the like. [bd]As in the natural
            body a wound, or solution of continuity, is worse than a
            corrupt humor, so in the spiritual.[b8] --Bacon.
  
      {Standardized solution} (Chem.), a solution which is used as
            a reagent, and is of a known and standard strength;
            specifically, a normal solution, containing in each cubic
            centimeter as many milligrams of the element in question
            as the number representing its atomic weight; thus, a
            normal solution of silver nitrate would contain 107.7 mgr.
            of silver nitrate in each cubic centimeter.

                                                                              2.

      Usage: {To Conceal}, {Hide}, {Disguise}, {Dissemble},
                  {Secrete}. To hide is the generic term, which embraces
                  all the rest. To conceal is simply not make known what
                  we wish to keep secret. In the Bible hide often has
                  the specific meaning of conceal. See --1 Sam. iii. 17,
                  18. To disguise or dissemble is to conceal by assuming
                  some false appearance. To secrete is to hide in some
                  place of secrecy. A man may conceal facts, disguise
                  his sentiments, dissemble his feelings, secrete stolen
                  goods.
  
                           Bur double griefs afflict concealing hearts.
                                                                              --Spenser.
  
                           Both dissemble deeply their affections. --Shak.
  
                           We have in these words a primary sense, which
                           reveals a future state, and a secondary sense,
                           which hides and secretes it.         --Warburton.

   Pulley \Pul"ley\, n.; pl. {Pulleys}. [F. poulie, perhaps of
      Teutonic origin (cf. {Poll}, v. t.); but cf. OE. poleine,
      polive, pulley, LL. polanus, and F. poulain, properly, a
      colt, fr. L. pullus young animal, foal (cf. {Pullet},
      {Foal}). For the change of sense, cf. F. poutre beam,
      originally, a filly, and E. easel.] (Mach.)
      A wheel with a broad rim, or grooved rim, for transmitting
      power from, or imparting power to, the different parts of
      machinery, or for changing the direction of motion, by means
      of a belt, cord, rope, or chain.
  
      Note: The pulley, as one of the mechanical powers, consists,
               in its simplest form, of a grooved wheel, called a
               sheave, turning within a movable frame or block, by
               means of a cord or rope attached at one end to a fixed
               point. The force, acting on the free end of the rope,
               is thus doubled, but can move the load through only
               half the space traversed by itself. The rope may also
               pass over a sheave in another block that is fixed. The
               end of the rope may be fastened to the movable block,
               instead of a fixed point, with an additional gain of
               power, and using either one or two sheaves in the fixed
               block. Other sheaves may be added, and the power
               multiplied accordingly. Such an apparatus is called by
               workmen a block and tackle, or a fall and tackle. See
               {Block}. A single fixed pulley gives no increase of
               power, but serves simply for changing the direction of
               motion.
  
      {Band pulley}, [or] {Belt pulley}, a pulley with a broad face
            for transmitting power between revolving shafts by means
            of a belt, or for guiding a belt.
  
      {Cone pulley}. See {Cone pulley}.
  
      {Conical pulley}, one of a pair of belt pulleys, each in the
            shape of a truncated cone, for varying velocities.
  
      {Fast pulley}, a pulley firmly attached upon a shaft.
  
      {Loose pulley}, a pulley loose on a shaft, to interrupt the
            transmission of motion in machinery. See {Fast and loose
            pulleys}, under {Fast}.
  
      {Parting pulley}, a belt pulley made in semicircular halves,
            which can be bolted together, to facilitate application
            to, or removal from, a shaft.
  
      {Pulley block}. Same as {Block}, n. 6.

   Refraction \Re*frac"tion\ (r?*fr?k"sh?n), n. [F. r[82]fraction.]
      1. The act of refracting, or the state of being refracted.
  
      2. The change in the direction of ray of light, heat, or the
            like, when it enters obliquely a medium of a different
            density from that through which it has previously moved.
  
                     Refraction out of the rarer medium into the denser,
                     is made towards the perpendicular.      --Sir I.
                                                                              Newton.
  
      3. (Astron.)
            (a) The change in the direction of a ray of light, and,
                  consequently, in the apparent position of a heavenly
                  body from which it emanates, arising from its passage
                  through the earth's atmosphere; -- hence distinguished
                  as atmospheric refraction, or astronomical refraction.
            (b) The correction which is to be deducted from the
                  apparent altitude of a heavenly body on account of
                  atmospheric refraction, in order to obtain the true
                  altitude.
  
      {Angle of refraction} (Opt.), the angle which a refracted ray
            makes with the perpendicular to the surface separating the
            two media traversed by the ray.
  
      {Conical refraction} (Opt.), the refraction of a ray of light
            into an infinite number of rays, forming a hollow cone.
            This occurs when a ray of light is passed through crystals
            of some substances, under certain circumstances. Conical
            refraction is of two kinds; external conical refraction,
            in which the ray issues from the crystal in the form of a
            cone, the vertex of which is at the point of emergence;
            and internal conical refraction, in which the ray is
            changed into the form of a cone on entering the crystal,
            from which it issues in the form of a hollow cylinder.
            This singular phenomenon was first discovered by Sir W. R.
            Hamilton by mathematical reasoning alone, unaided by
            experiment.
  
      {Differential refraction} (Astron.), the change of the
            apparent place of one object relative to a second object
            near it, due to refraction; also, the correction required
            to be made to the observed relative places of the two
            bodies.
  
      {Double refraction} (Opt.), the refraction of light in two
            directions, which produces two distinct images. The power
            of double refraction is possessed by all crystals except
            those of the isometric system. A uniaxial crystal is said
            to be optically positive (like quartz), or optically
            negative (like calcite), or to have positive, or negative,
            double refraction, according as the optic axis is the axis
            of least or greatest elasticity for light; a biaxial
            crystal is similarly designated when the same relation
            holds for the acute bisectrix.
  
      {Index of refraction}. See under {Index}.
  
      {Refraction circle} (Opt.), an instrument provided with a
            graduated circle for the measurement of refraction.
  
      {Refraction of latitude}, {longitude}, {declination}, {right
      ascension}, etc., the change in the apparent latitude,
            longitude, etc., of a heavenly body, due to the effect of
            atmospheric refraction.
  
      {Terrestrial refraction}, the change in the apparent altitude
            of a distant point on or near the earth's surface, as the
            top of a mountain, arising from the passage of light from
            it to the eye through atmospheric strata of varying
            density.

               Britian, which had been contracted in the form of
               annuities yielding various rates of interest, was, in
               1757, consolidated into one fund at 3 per cent
               interest, the account of which is kept at the Bank of
               England. This debt has been diminished and increased at
               different times, and now constitutes somewhat more than
               half of the entire national debt. The stocks are
               transferable, and Their value in the market constantly
               fluctuates; the price at any time being regarded as a
               gauge of the national prosperity and public confidence.

   Cancelmoose[tm] /kan'sel-moos/   [Usenet] The archetype and model of

   out spam-cancels and then post notice anonymously to
   news.admin.policy, news.admin.misc, and
   alt.current-events.net-abuse.   The 'Moose stepped to the fore on its
   own initiative, at a time (mid-1994) when spam-cancels were
   irregular and disorganized, and behaved altogether admirably - fair,
   even-handed, and quick to respond to comments and criticism, all
   without self-aggrandizement or martyrdom.   Cancelmoose[tm] quickly
   gained near-unanimous support from the readership of all three
   above-mentioned groups.
  
      Nobody knows who Cancelmoose[tm] really is, and there aren't even
   any good rumors.   However, the 'Moose now has an e-mail address

   and appeared to be comporting themselves well, after the 'Moose's

   Conway's Law prov.   The rule that the organization of the
   software and the organization of the software team will be
   congruent; commonly stated as "If you have four groups working on a
   compiler, you'll get a 4-pass compiler".   The original statement was
   more general, "Organizations which design systems are constrained to
   produce designs which are copies of the communication structures of
   these organizations."   This first appeared in the April 1968 issue
   of {Datamation}. Compare {SNAFU principle}.
  
      The law was named after Melvin Conway, an early proto-hacker who
   wrote an assembler for the Burroughs 220 called SAVE.   (The name
   `SAVE' didn't stand for anything; it was just that you lost fewer
   card decks and listings because they all had SAVE written on them.)
  
      There is also Tom Cheatham's amendment of Conway's Law: "If a
   group of N persons implements a COBOL compiler, there will be N-1
   passes.   Someone in the group has to be the manager."

      (Luke 2:25, paraklesis) is kindred to that translated
      "Comforter" in John 14:16, etc., parakletos.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Council
      spoken of counsellors who sat in public trials with the governor
      of a province (Acts 25:12).
     
         The Jewish councils were the Sanhedrim, or supreme council of
      the nation, which had subordinate to it smaller tribunals (the
      "judgment," perhaps, in Matt. 5:21, 22) in the cities of
      Palestine (Matt. 10:17; Mark 13:9). In the time of Christ the
      functions of the Sanhedrim were limited (John 16:2; 2 Cor.
      11:24). In Ps. 68:27 the word "council" means simply a company
      of persons. (R.V. marg., "company.")
     
         In ecclesiastical history the word is used to denote an
      assembly of pastors or bishops for the discussion and regulation
      of church affairs. The first of these councils was that of the
      apostles and elders at Jerusalem, of which we have a detailed
      account in Acts 15.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Counsellor
      an adviser (Prov. 11:14; 15:22), a king's state counsellor (2
      Sam. 15:12). Used once of the Messiah (Isa. 9:6). In Mark 15:43,
      Luke 23:50, the word probably means a member of the Jewish
      Sanhedrim.
