Lasso \Lass"o\ (l[acr]s"s[osl]) n.; pl. {Lassos} (-s[omac]z).       [Sp. lazo, L. laqueus. See {Lace}.]       A rope or long thong of leather with, a running noose, used       for catching horses, cattle, etc.          {Lasso cell} (Zo[94]l.), one of a peculiar kind of defensive             and offensive stinging cells, found in great numbers in             all c[d2]lenterates, and in a few animals of other groups.             They are most highly developed in the tentacles of             jellyfishes, hydroids, and Actini[91]. Each of these cells             is filled with, fluid, and contains a long, slender, often             barbed, hollow thread coiled up within it. When the cell             contracts the thread is quickly ejected, being at the same             time turned inside out. The thread is able to penetrate             the flesh of various small, soft-bodied animals, and             carries a subtle poison by which they are speedily             paralyzed and killed. The threads, at the same time, hold             the prey in position, attached to the tentacles. Some of             the jellyfishes, as the Portuguese man-of-war, and             {Cyanea}, are able to penetrate the human skin, and             inflict painful stings in the same way.

Earnest dispute; strife in argument; controversy; debate;             altercation.                         Leave all noisy contests, all immodest clamors and                      brawling language.                              --I. Watts.          2. Earnest struggle for superiority, victory, defense, etc.;             competition; emulation; strife in arms; conflict; combat;             encounter.                         The late battle had, in effect, been a contest                      between one usurper and another.         --Hallam.                         It was fully expected that the contest there would                      be long and fierce.                           --Macaulay.          Syn: Conflict; combat; battle; encounter; shock; struggle;                dispute; altercation; debate; controvesy; difference;                disagreement; strife.          Usage: {Contest}, {Conflict}, {Combat}, {Encounter}. Contest                   is the broadest term, and had originally no reference                   to actual fighting. It was, on the contrary, a legal                   term signifying to call witnesses, and hence came to                   denote first a struggle in argument, and then a                   struggle for some common object between opposing                   parties, usually one of considerable duration, and                   implying successive stages or acts. Conflict denotes                   literally a close personal engagement, in which sense                   it is applied to actual fighting. It is, however, more                   commonly used in a figurative sense to denote                   strenuous or direct opposition; as, a mental conflict;                   conflicting interests or passions; a conflict of laws.                   An encounter is a direct meeting face to face. Usually                   it is a hostile meeting, and is then very nearly                   coincident with conflict; as, an encounter of opposing                   hosts. Sometimes it is used in a looser sense; as,                   [bd]this keen encounter of our wits.[b8] --Shak.                   Combat is commonly applied to actual fighting, but may                   be used figuratively in reference to a strife or words                   or a struggle of feeling.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
context          That which surrounds, and gives meaning to, something else.          In a {grammar} it refers to the symbols before and       after the symbol under consideration.   If the syntax of a       symbol is independent of its context, the grammar is said to       be {context-free}.
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
context clash          When a {parser} cannot tell which alternative       {production} of a {syntax} applies by looking at the next       input {token} ("lexeme").          E.g. given syntax          C -> A | b c          A -> d | b e          If you're parsing non-terminal C and the next token is 'b',       you don't know whether it's the first or second alternative of       C since they both can start with b.          To discover whether a grammar has a context clash:          For each non-terminal, N, with multiple alternatives, look at       the first symbol of each alternative's right-hand side, call       it s.   If s is the empty string, then find the set FOLLOWER(N)       otherwise find the set FIRST*(s).   If any of the sets for N's       alternatives intersect then there will be a context clash when       parsing N.   If the next input symbol is one of those in the       intersection of two sets then you won't know which of the       alternatives applies.          FIRST(s) is the set of symbols with which s can start,       including s itself.   If s is a non-terminal then FIRST(s) also       includes the first symbol of each alternative right-hand side       of s.   The '*' in FIRST*(s) means the "{transitive closure}"       of FIRST which means keep applying FIRST to each element of       the result until the result doesn't change.   I.e. start with       just the set R = {s}, then for each non-terminal x in R, add       FIRST(x) to R.   Keep doing this until nothing new is added.       (We are really only interested in the terminals in FIRST*(s)       but some definitions include the non-terminals).          FOLLOWER(N) is the set of symbols which can come after N in a       sentence.   Find each occurrence of N on the right-hand side of       a rule, e.g.          M -> ... | ... N ... | ...          If there is a symbol s immediately following N then add       FIRST*(s) to the result (again, we're only interested in the       terminal symbols in FIRST*(s)) if there is no symbol after N       in the alternative then add FOLLOWER(M) to the result (i.e. if       N can be the last symbol in an M then anything that can follow       M can also follow N).          If a grammar can generate the same sentence in multiple       different ways (with different parse tress) then it is       ambiguous.   An ambiguity must start with a context clash (but       not all context clashes imply ambiguity).   The context clash       occurs when trying to parse the first token of the phrase with       multiple parses - you will not be able to tell which       alternative to take.   To see if a context clash is also a case       of ambiguity you would need to follow the alternatives       involved in each context clash to see if they can generate the       same complete sequence of tokens.          (1995-04-05)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
context switch          When a {multitasking} {operating system}       stops running one {process} and starts running another.   Many       operating systems implement concurrency by maintaining       separate environments or "contexts" for each process.   The       amount of separation between processes, and the amount of       information in a context, depends on the operating system but       generally the OS should prevent processes interfering with each       other, e.g. by modifying each other's memory.          A context switch can be as simple as changing the value of the       {program counter} and {stack pointer} or it might involve       resetting the {MMU} to make a different set of memory {pages}       available.          In order to present the user with an impression of parallism,       and to allow processes to respond quickly to external events,       many systems will context switch tens or hundreds of times per       second.          (1996-12-18)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
context-free          Said of a {grammar} where the syntax of each constituent is       independent of the symbols occuring before and after it in a       sentence.   {Parser}s for such grammars are simpler than those       for context-dependent grammars because the parser need only       know the current symbol.
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
context-sensitive menu          A {menu} which appears in response to a       user action (typically a {mouse} click) and whose contents are       determined by which {application window} was clicked or has       the {input focus}.          Most {GUI}s use a secondary mouse button (right or middle) to       call up a context-sensitive menu as the {primary mouse button}       is normally used to interact with objects which are already       visible.          The context-sensitive menu often contains functions that are       also available in a {menu bar} but the context-sensitive menu       provides quick access to a subset of functions that are       particularly relevant to the window area clicked on.          The {RISC OS} {WIMP} uses only context-sensitive menus (always       invoked using the middle mouse button).   This saves screen       space and reduces mouse movement compared to a {menu bar}.          (1999-09-22)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Candace       the queen of the Ethiopians whose "eunuch" or chamberlain was       converted to Christianity by the instrumentality of Philip the       evangelist (Acts 8:27). The country which she ruled was called       by the Greeks Meroe, in Upper Nubia. It was long the centre of       commercial intercourse between Africa and the south of Asia, and       hence became famous for its wealth (Isa. 45:14).                It is somewhat singular that female sovereignty seems to have       prevailed in Ethiopia, the name Candace (compare "Pharaoh,"       "Ptolemy," "Caesar") being a title common to several successive       queens. It is probable that Judaism had taken root in Ethiopia       at this time, and hence the visit of the queen's treasurer to       Jerusalem to keep the feast. There is a tradition that Candace       was herself converted to Christianity by her treasurer on his       return, and that he became the apostle of Christianity in that       whole region, carrying it also into Abyssinia. It is said that       he also preached the gospel in Arabia Felix and in Ceylon, where       he suffered martyrdom. (See {PHILIP}.)
