A distinctive mark; a letter, figure, or symbol.                         It were much to be wished that there were throughout                      the world but one sort of character for each letter                      to express it to the eye.                  --Holder.          2.

Quality, position, rank, or capacity; quality or conduct             with respect to a certain office or duty; as, in the             miserable character of a slave; in his character as a             magistrate; her character as a daughter.          7. The estimate, individual or general, put upon a person or             thing; reputation; as, a man's character for truth and             veracity; to give one a bad character.                         This subterraneous passage is much mended since                      Seneca gave so bad a character of it. --Addison.          8.

One of the persons of a drama or novel.          Note: [bd]It would be well if character and reputation were                used distinctively. In truth, character is what a                person is; reputation is what he is supposed to be.                Character is in himself, reputation is in the minds of                others. Character is injured by temptations, and by                wrongdoing; reputation by slanders, and libels.                Character endures throughout defamation in every form,                but perishes when there is a voluntary transgression;                reputation may last through numerous transgressions,                but be destroyed by a single, and even an unfounded,                accusation or aspersion.[b8] --Abbott.

Character \Char"ac*ter\, n. [L., an instrument for marking,       character, Gr. [?], fr. [?] to make sharp, to cut into       furrows, to engrave: cf. F. caract[8a]re.]       1. A distinctive mark; a letter, figure, or symbol.                         It were much to be wished that there were throughout                      the world but one sort of character for each letter                      to express it to the eye.                  --Holder.          2. Style of writing or printing; handwriting; the peculiar             form of letters used by a particular person or people; as,             an inscription in the Runic character.                         You know the character to be your brother's? --Shak.          3. The peculiar quality, or the sum of qualities, by which a             person or a thing is distinguished from others; the stamp             impressed by nature, education, or habit; that which a             person or thing really is; nature; disposition.                         The character or that dominion.         --Milton.                         Know well each Ancient's proper character; His                      fable, subject, scope in every page; Religion,                      Country, genius of his Age.               --Pope.                         A man of . . . thoroughly subservient character.                                                                               --Motley.          4. Strength of mind; resolution; independence; individuality;             as, he has a great deal of character.          5. Moral quality; the principles and motives that control the             life; as, a man of character; his character saves him from             suspicion.          6. Quality, position, rank, or capacity; quality or conduct             with respect to a certain office or duty; as, in the             miserable character of a slave; in his character as a             magistrate; her character as a daughter.          7. The estimate, individual or general, put upon a person or             thing; reputation; as, a man's character for truth and             veracity; to give one a bad character.                         This subterraneous passage is much mended since                      Seneca gave so bad a character of it. --Addison.          8. A written statement as to behavior, competency, etc.,             given to a servant. [Colloq.]          9. A unique or extraordinary individuality; a person             characterized by peculiar or notable traits; a person who             illustrates certain phases of character; as, Randolph was             a character; C[91]sar is a great historical character.          10. One of the persons of a drama or novel.          Note: [bd]It would be well if character and reputation were                used distinctively. In truth, character is what a                person is; reputation is what he is supposed to be.                Character is in himself, reputation is in the minds of                others. Character is injured by temptations, and by                wrongdoing; reputation by slanders, and libels.                Character endures throughout defamation in every form,                but perishes when there is a voluntary transgression;                reputation may last through numerous transgressions,                but be destroyed by a single, and even an unfounded,                accusation or aspersion.[b8] --Abbott.

In the             United States, the federal circuit courts are commonly             presided over by a judge of the supreme court, or a             special circuit judge, together with the judge of the             district court. They have jurisdiction within statutory             limits, both in law and equity, in matters of federal             cognizance. Some of the individual States also have             circuit courts, which have general statutory jurisdiction             of the same class, in matters of State cognizance.          {Circuit or Circuity} {of action} (Law), a longer course of             proceedings than is necessary to attain the object in             view.          {To make a circuit}, to go around; to go a roundabout way.          {Voltaic [or] Galvanic} {circuit [or] circle}, a continous             electrical communication between the two poles of a             battery; an arrangement of voltaic elements or couples             with proper conductors, by which a continuous current of             electricity is established.

Cirro-stratus \Cir`ro-stra"tus\, n. [Cirrus + stratus.]       (Meteor.)       See under {Cloud}.
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Cloud \Cloud\ (kloud), n. [Prob. fr. AS. cl[umac]d a rock or       hillock, the application arising from the frequent       resemblance of clouds to rocks or hillocks in the sky or       air.]       1. A collection of visible vapor, or watery particles,             suspended in the upper atmosphere.                         I do set my bow in the cloud.            --Gen. ix. 13.          Note: A classification of clouds according to their chief                forms was first proposed by the meteorologist Howard,                and this is still substantially employed. The following                varieties and subvarieties are recognized:             (a) {Cirrus}. This is the most elevated of all the forms                   of clouds; is thin, long-drawn, sometimes looking like                   carded wool or hair, sometimes like a brush or room,                   sometimes in curl-like or fleecelike patches. It is                   the cat's-tail of the sailor, and the mare's-tail of                   the landsman.             (b) {Cumulus}. This form appears in large masses of a                   hemispherical form, or nearly so, above, but flat                   below, one often piled above another, forming great                   clouds, common in the summer, and presenting the                   appearance of gigantic mountains crowned with snow. It                   often affords rain and thunder gusts.             (c) {Stratus}. This form appears in layers or bands                   extending horizontally.             (d) {Nimbus}. This form is characterized by its uniform                   gray tint and ragged edges; it covers the sky in                   seasons of continued rain, as in easterly storms, and                   is the proper rain cloud. The name is sometimes used                   to denote a raining cumulus, or cumulostratus.             (e) {Cirro-cumulus}. This form consists, like the cirrus,                   of thin, broken, fleecelice clouds, but the parts are                   more or less rounded and regulary grouped. It is                   popularly called mackerel sky.             (f) {Cirro-stratus}. In this form the patches of cirrus                   coalesce in long strata, between cirrus and stratus.             (g) {Cumulo-stratus}. A form between cumulus and stratus,                   often assuming at the horizon a black or bluish tint.                   -- {Fog}, cloud, motionless, or nearly so, lying near                   or in contact with the earth's surface. -- {Storm                   scud}, cloud lying quite low, without form, and driven                   rapidly with the wind.          2. A mass or volume of smoke, or flying dust, resembling             vapor. [bd]A thick cloud of incense.[b8] --Ezek. viii. 11.          3. A dark vein or spot on a lighter material, as in marble;             hence, a blemish or defect; as, a cloud upon one's             reputation; a cloud on a title.          4. That which has a dark, lowering, or threatening aspect;             that which temporarily overshadows, obscures, or             depresses; as, a cloud of sorrow; a cloud of war; a cloud             upon the intellect.          5. A great crowd or multitude; a vast collection. [bd]So             great a cloud of witnesses.[b8] --Heb. xii. 1.          6. A large, loosely-knitted scarf, worn by women about the             head.          {Cloud on a} (or the) {title} (Law), a defect of title,             usually superficial and capable of removal by release,             decision in equity, or legislation.          {To be under a cloud}, to be under suspicion or in disgrace;             to be in disfavor.          {In the clouds}, in the realm of facy and imagination; beyond             reason; visionary.

Any insect in that stage of its metamorphosis             which usually immediately precedes the adult, or imago,             stage.          Note: Among insects belonging to the higher orders, as the                Hymenoptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera, the pupa is inactive                and takes no food; in the lower orders it is active and                takes food, and differs little from the imago except in                the rudimentary state of the sexual organs, and of the                wings in those that have wings when adult. The term                pupa is sometimes applied to other invertebrates in                analogous stages of development.          2. (Zo[94]l.) A genus of air-breathing land snails having an             elongated spiral shell.          {Coarctate}, [or] {Obtected}, {pupa}, a pupa which is incased             in the dried-up skin of the larva, as in many Diptera.          {Masked pupa}, a pupa whose limbs are bound down and partly             concealed by a chitinous covering, as in Lepidoptera.

To restrain by force, especially by law or authority; to             repress; to curb. --Burke.                         Punishments are manifold, that they may coerce this                      profligate sort.                                 --Ayliffe.          2. To compel or constrain to any action; as, to coerce a man             to vote for a certain candidate.          3. To compel or enforce; as, to coerce obedience.          Syn: To {Coerce}, {Compel}.          Usage: To compel denotes to urge on by force which cannot be                   resisted. The term aplies equally to physical and                   moral force; as, compelled by hunger; compelled                   adverse circumstances; compelled by parental                   affection. Coerce had at first only the negative sense                   of checking or restraining by force; as, to coerce a                   bad man by punishments or a prisoner with fetters. It                   has now gained a positive sense., viz., that of                   driving a person into the performance of some act                   which is required of him by another; as, to coerce a                   man to sign a contract; to coerce obedience. In this                   sense (which is now the prevailing one), coerce                   differs but little from compel, and yet there is a                   distinction between them. Coercion is usually                   acomplished by indirect means, as threats and                   intimidation, physical force being more rarely                   employed in coercing.

It plainly             depends on the molecular constitution of the metal.             --Nichol.                         The power of resisting magnetization or                      demagnization is sometimes called coercive force.                                                                               --S.

Lens \Lens\ (l[ecr]nz), n.; pl. {Lenses} (-[ecr]z). [L. lens a       lentil. So named from the resemblance in shape of a double       convex lens to the seed of a lentil. Cf. {Lentil}.] (Opt.)       A piece of glass, or other transparent substance, ground with       two opposite regular surfaces, either both curved, or one       curved and the other plane, and commonly used, either singly       or combined, in optical instruments, for changing the       direction of rays of light, and thus magnifying objects, or       otherwise modifying vision. In practice, the curved surfaces       are usually spherical, though rarely cylindrical, or of some       other figure. Lenses          Note: Of spherical lenses, there are six varieties, as shown                in section in the figures herewith given: viz., a                plano-concave; b double-concave; c plano-convex; d                double-convex; e converging concavo-convex, or                converging meniscus; f diverging concavo-convex, or                diverging meniscus.          {Crossed lens} (Opt.), a double-convex lens with one radius             equal to six times the other.          {Crystalline lens}.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
character encoding          (Or "character encoding scheme") A mapping of       {binary} values to {code positions} and back; generally a 1:1       ({bijective}) mapping.          In the case of {ASCII}, this is generally a f(x)=x mapping:       code point 65 maps to the byte value 65, and vice versa.   This       is possible because ASCII uses only code positions       representable as single bytes, i.e., values between 0 and 255,       at most.   ({US-ASCII} only uses values 0 to 127, in fact.)          {Unicode} and many {CJK} {coded character sets} use many more       than 255 positions, requiring more complex mappings: sometimes       the characters are mapped onto pairs of bytes (see {DBCS}).       In many cases, this breaks programs that assume a one-to-one       mapping of bytes to characters, and so, for example, treat any       occurrance of the byte value 13 as a {carriage return}.   To       avoid this problem, character encodings such as {UTF-8} were       devised.          (1998-10-18)

character repertoire          The set of all {characters} onto which a {coded       character set} maps {integers} ({code positions}).          For example, consider these two simple coded character sets:             Coded Character Set One:          integer 0   ->   the character "A"          integer 1   ->   the character "B"             Coded Character Set Two:          integer 0   ->   the character "B"          integer 1   ->   the character "A"          Both of these coded character sets map to the characters "A"       and "B", so they have the same character repertoire.   But       since the mapping is different (and obviously incompatible),       these are different coded character sets.          (1998-12-17)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
character set          1. A particular mapping between {characters} and       {byte strings}, i.e. the combination of a particular       {character encoding} (which maps between byte strings and       {integers}) and a particular {coded character set} (which maps       between integers and characters).          For example: {ASCII} (the ASCII coded character set, encoded       directly as single-byte values), or {UTF-8} (the Unicode coded       character set, encoded with an 8-bit transformation method).          2.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Christ       anointed, the Greek translation of the Hebrew word rendered       "Messiah" (q.v.), the official title of our Lord, occurring five       hundred and fourteen times in the New Testament. It denotes that       he was anointed or consecrated to his great redemptive work as       Prophet, Priest, and King of his people. He is Jesus the Christ       (Acts 17:3; 18:5; Matt. 22:42), the Anointed One. He is thus       spoken of by Isaiah (61:1), and by Daniel (9:24-26), who styles       him "Messiah the Prince."                The Messiah is the same person as "the seed of the woman"       (Gen. 3:15), "the seed of Abraham" (Gen. 22:18), the "Prophet       like unto Moses" (Deut. 18:15), "the priest after the order of       Melchizedek" (Ps. 110:4), "the rod out of the stem of Jesse"       (Isa. 11:1, 10), the "Immanuel," the virgin's son (Isa. 7:14),       "the branch of Jehovah" (Isa. 4:2), and "the messenger of the       covenant" (Mal. 3:1). This is he "of whom Moses in the law and       the prophets did write." The Old Testament Scripture is full of       prophetic declarations regarding the Great Deliverer and the       work he was to accomplish. Jesus the Christ is Jesus the Great       Deliverer, the Anointed One, the Saviour of men. This name       denotes that Jesus was divinely appointed, commissioned, and       accredited as the Saviour of men (Heb. 5:4; Isa. 11:2-4; 49:6;       John 5:37; Acts 2:22).                To believe that "Jesus is the Christ" is to believe that he is       the Anointed, the Messiah of the prophets, the Saviour sent of       God, that he was, in a word, what he claimed to be. This is to       believe the gospel, by the faith of which alone men can be       brought unto God. That Jesus is the Christ is the testimony of       God, and the faith of this constitutes a Christian (1 Cor. 12:3;       1 John 5:1).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Christian       the name given by the Greeks or Romans, probably in reproach, to       the followers of Jesus. It was first used at Antioch. The names       by which the disciples were known among themselves were       "brethren," "the faithful," "elect," "saints," "believers." But       as distinguishing them from the multitude without, the name       "Christian" came into use, and was universally accepted. This       name occurs but three times in the New Testament (Acts 11:26;       26:28; 1 Pet. 4:16).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Christs, False       Our Lord warned his disciples that they would arise (Matt.       24:24). It is said that no fewer than twenty-four persons have       at different times appeared (the last in 1682) pretending to be       the Messiah of the prophets.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Circuit       the apparent diurnal revolution of the sun round the earth (Ps.       19:6), and the changes of the wind (Eccl. 1:6). In Job 22:14,       "in the circuit of heaven" (R.V. marg., "on the vault of       heaven") means the "arch of heaven," which seems to be bent over       our heads.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Crystal       (Ezek. 1:22, with the epithet "terrible," as dazzling the       spectators with its brightness). The word occurs in Rev. 4:6;       21:11; 22:1. It is a stone of the flint order, the most refined       kind of quartz. The Greek word here used means also literally       "ice." The ancients regarded the crystal as only pure water       congealed into extreme hardness by great length of time.
