               ways, and each of these a + b ways is equally likely,
               the chance, or probability, that the event will happen
               is measured by the fraction a/a + b, and the chance, or
               probability, that it will fail is measured by b/a + b.

   cons /konz/ or /kons/   [from LISP] 1. vt. To add a new element
   to a specified list, esp. at the top.   "OK, cons picking a
   replacement for the console TTY onto the agenda."   2. `cons up': vt.
   To synthesize from smaller pieces: "to cons up an example".
  
      In LISP itself, `cons' is the most fundamental operation for
   building structures.   It takes any two objects and returns a
   `dot-pair' or two-branched tree with one object hanging from each
   branch.   Because the result of a cons is an object, it can be used
   to build binary trees of any shape and complexity.   Hackers think of
   it as a sort of universal constructor, and that is where the jargon
   meanings spring from.

   CMYK

      A {colour model} that describes each {colour} in terms of the
      quantity of each secondary colour (cyan, magenta, yellow), and
      "key" (black) it contains.   The CMYK system is used for
      printing.   For mixing of pigments, it is better to use the
      secondary colours, since they mix subtractively instead of
      additively.   The secondary colours of light are cyan, magenta
      and yellow, which correspond to the primary colours of pigment
      (blue, red and yellow). In addition, although black could be
      obtained by mixing these three in equal proportions, in
      four-colour printing it always has its own ink.   This gives
      the CMYK model.   The K stands for "Key' or 'blacK,' so as not
      to cause confusion with the B in {RGB}.
  
      Alternative colour models are {RGB} and {HSB}.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Chamois
      only in Deut. 14:5 (Heb. zemer), an animal of the deer or
      gazelle species. It bears this Hebrew name from its leaping or
      springing. The animal intended is probably the wild sheep (Ovis
      tragelephus), which is still found in Sinai and in the broken
      ridges of Stony Arabia. The LXX. and Vulgate render the word by
      camelopardus, i.e., the giraffe; but this is an animal of
      Central Africa, and is not at all known in Syria.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Chance
      (Luke 10:31). "It was not by chance that the priest came down by
      that road at that time, but by a specific arrangement and in
      exact fulfilment of a plan; not the plan of the priest, nor the
      plan of the wounded traveller, but the plan of God. By
      coincidence (Gr. sungkuria) the priest came down, that is, by
      the conjunction of two things, in fact, which were previously
      constituted a pair in the providence of God. In the result they
      fell together according to the omniscient Designer's plan. This
      is the true theory of the divine government." Compare the
      meeting of Philip with the Ethiopian (Acts 8:26, 27). There is
      no "chance" in God's empire. "Chance" is only another word for
      our want of knowledge as to the way in which one event falls in
      with another (1 Sam. 6:9; Eccl. 9:11).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Chemosh
      the destroyer, subduer, or fish-god, the god of the Moabites
      (Num. 21:29; Jer. 48:7, 13, 46). The worship of this god, "the
      abomination of Moab," was introduced at Jerusalem by Solomon (1
      Kings 11:7), but was abolished by Josiah (2 Kings 23:13). On the
      "Moabite Stone" (q.v.), Mesha (2 Kings 3:5) ascribes his
      victories over the king of Israel to this god, "And Chemosh
      drove him before my sight."
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:

   Economy
  
   Overview: Congo's economy is a mixture of village agriculture and
   handicrafts, an industrial sector based largely on oil, support
   services, and a government characterized by budget problems and
   overstaffing. A reform program, supported by the IMF and World Bank,
   ran into difficulties in 1990-91 because of problems in changing to a
   democratic political regime and a heavy debt-servicing burden. Oil has
   supplanted forestry as the mainstay of the economy, providing about
   two-thirds of government revenues and exports. In the early 1980s
   rapidly rising oil revenues enabled Congo to finance large-scale
   development projects with growth averaging 5% annually, one of the
   highest rates in Africa. Subsequently, growth has slowed to an average
   of roughly 1.5% annually, only two-thirds of the population growth
   rate. Political turmoil and misguided government investment have
   derailed economic reform programs sponsored by the IMF and World Bank.
   Even with these difficulties Congo enjoys one of the highest incomes
   per capita in sub-Saharan Africa
