From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
empire n.   Any of a family of military simulations derived from    a game written by Peter Langston many years ago.   A number of    multi-player variants of varying degrees of sophistication exist,    and one single-player version implemented for both Unix and VMS; the    latter is even available as MS-DOS freeware.   All are notoriously    addictive.   Of various commercial derivatives the best known is    probably "Empire Deluxe" on PCs and Amigas.          Modern empire is a real-time wargame played over the internet by    up to 120 players. Typical games last from 24 hours (blitz) to a    couple of months (long term).   The amount of sleep you can get while    playing is a function of the rate at which updates occur and the    number of co-rulers of your country.   Empire server software is    available for unix-like machines, and clients for Unix and other    platforms.   A comprehensive history of the game is available at    `http://empire.idlpaper.com/infopages/History.html'.   The Empire    resource site is at `http://empire.idlpaper.com/'.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
environment          {environment variable}
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
environment variable          A {variable} that is bound in       the current environment.   When evaluating an expression in       some environment, the evaluation of a variable consists of       looking up its name in the environment and substituting its       value.          Most programming languages have some concept of an environment       but in {Unix} {shell scripts} it has a specific meaning       slightly different from other contexts.   In shell scripts,       environment variables are one kind of {shell variable}.   They       differ from {local variables} and {command line arguments} in       that they are inheritted by a {child process}.   Examples are       the PATH variable that tells the shell the {file system}       {paths} to search to find command {executables} and the TZ       variable which contains the local time zone.   The variable       called "SHELL" specifies the type of shell being used.          These variables are used by commands or {shell scripts} to       discover things about the environment they are operating in.       Environment variables can be changed or created by the {user}       or a program.          To see a list of environment variables type "setenv" at the       {csh} or {tcsh} {prompt} or "set" at the {sh}, {bash}, {jsh}       or {ksh} prompt.          In other programming languages, e.g. {functional programming}       languages, the environment is extended with new bindings when       a {function}'s {parameters} are bound to its {actual       arguments} or when new variables are declared.   In a       {block-structured} {procedural} language, the environment       usually consists of a {linked list} of {activation records}.          (1999-01-26)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Embroider       The art of embroidery was known to the Jews (Ex. 26:36; 35:35;       38:23; Judg. 5:30; Ps. 45:14). The skill of the women in this       art was seen in the preparation of the sacerdotal robes of the       high priest (Ex. 28). It seems that the art became hereditary in       certain families (1 Chr. 4:21). The Assyrians were also noted       for their embroidered robes (Ezek. 27:24).
