Soap \Soap\, n. [OE. sope, AS. s[be]pe; akin to D. zeep, G.       seife, OHG. seifa, Icel. s[be]pa, Sw. s[?]pa, Dan. s[?]be,       and perhaps to AS. s[c6]pan to drip, MHG. s[c6]fen, and L.       sebum tallow. Cf. {Saponaceous}.]       A substance which dissolves in water, thus forming a lather,       and is used as a cleansing agent. Soap is produced by       combining fats or oils with alkalies or alkaline earths,       usually by boiling, and consists of salts of sodium,       potassium, etc., with the fatty acids (oleic, stearic,       palmitic, etc.). See the Note below, and cf.       {Saponification}. By extension, any compound of similar       composition or properties, whether used as a cleaning agent       or not.          Note: In general, soaps are of two classes, hard and soft.                Calcium, magnesium, lead, etc., form soaps, but they                are insoluble and useless.                            The purifying action of soap depends upon the                         fact that it is decomposed by a large quantity of                         water into free alkali and an insoluble acid                         salt. The first of these takes away the fatty                         dirt on washing, and the latter forms the soap                         lather which envelops the greasy matter and thus                         tends to remove it.                        --Roscoe &                                                                               Schorlemmer.          {Castile soap}, a fine-grained hard soap, white or mottled,             made of olive oil and soda; -- called also {Marseilles,             [or] Venetian, soap}.          {Hard soap}, any one of a great variety of soaps, of             different ingredients and color, which are hard and             compact. All solid soaps are of this class.          {Lead soap}, an insoluble, white, pliable soap made by             saponifying an oil (olive oil) with lead oxide; -- used             externally in medicine. Called also {lead plaster},             {diachylon}, etc.          {Marine soap}. See under {Marine}.          {Pills of soap} (Med.), pills containing soap and opium.          {Potash soap}, any soap made with potash, esp. the soft             soaps, and a hard soap made from potash and castor oil.          {Pumice soap}, any hard soap charged with a gritty powder, as             silica, alumina, powdered pumice, etc., which assists             mechanically in the removal of dirt.          {Resin soap}, a yellow soap containing resin, -- used in             bleaching.          {Silicated soap}, a cheap soap containing water glass (sodium             silicate).          {Soap bark}. (Bot.) See {Quillaia bark}.          {Soap bubble}, a hollow iridescent globe, formed by blowing a             film of soap suds from a pipe; figuratively, something             attractive, but extremely unsubstantial.                         This soap bubble of the metaphysicians. --J. C.                                                                               Shairp.          {Soap cerate}, a cerate formed of soap, olive oil, white wax,             and the subacetate of lead, sometimes used as an             application to allay inflammation.          {Soap fat}, the refuse fat of kitchens, slaughter houses,             etc., used in making soap.          {Soap liniment} (Med.), a liniment containing soap, camphor,             and alcohol.          {Soap nut}, the hard kernel or seed of the fruit of the             soapberry tree, -- used for making beads, buttons, etc.          {Soap plant} (Bot.), one of several plants used in the place             of soap, as the {Chlorogalum pomeridianum}, a California             plant, the bulb of which, when stripped of its husk and             rubbed on wet clothes, makes a thick lather, and smells             not unlike new brown soap. It is called also {soap apple},             {soap bulb}, and {soap weed}.          {Soap tree}. (Bot.) Same as {Soapberry tree}.          {Soda soap}, a soap containing a sodium salt. The soda soaps             are all hard soaps.          {Soft soap}, a soap of a gray or brownish yellow color, and             of a slimy, jellylike consistence, made from potash or the             lye from wood ashes.

Heart \Heart\, n. [OE. harte, herte, heorte, AS. heorte; akin to       OS. herta, OFies. hirte, D. hart, OHG. herza, G. herz, Icel.       hjarta, Sw. hjerta, Goth. ha[a1]rt[?], Lith. szirdis, Russ.       serdtse, Ir. cridhe, L. cor, Gr. [?], [?] [?][?][?][?]. Cf.       {Accord}, {Discord}, {Cordial}, 4th {Core}, {Courage}.]       1. (Anat.) A hollow, muscular organ, which, by contracting             rhythmically, keeps up the circulation of the blood.                         Why does my blood thus muster to my heart! --Shak.          Note: In adult mammals and birds, the heart is                four-chambered, the right auricle and ventricle being                completely separated from the left auricle and                ventricle; and the blood flows from the systematic                veins to the right auricle, thence to the right                ventricle, from which it is forced to the lungs, then                returned to the left auricle, thence passes to the left                ventricle, from which it is driven into the systematic                arteries. See Illust. under {Aorta}. In fishes there                are but one auricle and one ventricle, the blood being                pumped from the ventricle through the gills to the                system, and thence returned to the auricle. In most                amphibians and reptiles, the separation of the auricles                is partial or complete, and in reptiles the ventricles                also are separated more or less completely. The                so-called lymph hearts, found in many amphibians,                reptiles, and birds, are contractile sacs, which pump                the lymph into the veins.          2. The seat of the affections or sensibilities, collectively             or separately, as love, hate, joy, grief, courage, and the             like; rarely, the seat of the understanding or will; --             usually in a good sense, when no epithet is expressed; the             better or lovelier part of our nature; the spring of all             our actions and purposes; the seat of moral life and             character; the moral affections and character itself; the             individual disposition and character; as, a good, tender,             loving, bad, hard, or selfish heart.                         Hearts are dust, hearts' loves remain. --Emerson.          3. The nearest the middle or center; the part most hidden and             within; the inmost or most essential part of any body or             system; the source of life and motion in any organization;             the chief or vital portion; the center of activity, or of             energetic or efficient action; as, the heart of a country,             of a tree, etc.                         Exploits done in the heart of France. --Shak.                         Peace subsisting at the heart Of endless agitation.                                                                               --Wordsworth.          4. Courage; courageous purpose; spirit.                         Eve, recovering heart, replied.         --Milton.                         The expelled nations take heart, and when they fly                      from one country invade another.         --Sir W.                                                                               Temple.          5. Vigorous and efficient activity; power of fertile             production; condition of the soil, whether good or bad.                         That the spent earth may gather heart again.                                                                               --Dryden.          6. That which resembles a heart in shape; especially, a             roundish or oval figure or object having an obtuse point             at one end, and at the other a corresponding indentation,             -- used as a symbol or representative of the heart.          7. One of a series of playing cards, distinguished by the             figure or figures of a heart; as, hearts are trumps.          8. Vital part; secret meaning; real intention.                         And then show you the heart of my message. --Shak.          9. A term of affectionate or kindly and familiar address.             [bd]I speak to thee, my heart.[b8] --Shak.          Note: Heart is used in many compounds, the most of which need                no special explanation; as, heart-appalling,                heart-breaking, heart-cheering, heart-chilled,                heart-expanding, heart-free, heart-hardened,                heart-heavy, heart-purifying, heart-searching,                heart-sickening, heart-sinking, heart-stirring,                heart-touching, heart-wearing, heart-whole,                heart-wounding, heart-wringing, etc.          {After one's own heart}, conforming with one's inmost             approval and desire; as, a friend after my own heart.                         The Lord hath sought him a man after his own heart.                                                                               --1 Sam. xiii.                                                                               14.          {At heart}, in the inmost character or disposition; at             bottom; really; as, he is at heart a good man.          {By heart}, in the closest or most thorough manner; as, to             know or learn by heart.

Sugar \Sug"ar\, n. [OE. sugre, F. sucre (cf. It. zucchero, Sp.       az[a3]car), fr. Ar. sukkar, assukkar, fr. Skr. [87]arkar[be]       sugar, gravel; cf. Per. shakar. Cf. {Saccharine}, {Sucrose}.]       1. A sweet white (or brownish yellow) crystalline substance,             of a sandy or granular consistency, obtained by             crystallizing the evaporated juice of certain plants, as             the sugar cane, sorghum, beet root, sugar maple, etc. It             is used for seasoning and preserving many kinds of food             and drink. Ordinary sugar is essentially sucrose. See the             Note below.          Note: The term sugar includes several commercial grades, as                the white or refined, granulated, loaf or lump, and the                raw brown or muscovado. In a more general sense, it                includes several distinct chemical compounds, as the                glucoses, or grape sugars (including glucose proper,                dextrose, and levulose), and the sucroses, or true                sugars (as cane sugar). All sugars are carbohydrates.                See {Carbohydrate}. The glucoses, or grape sugars, are                ketone alcohols of the formula {C6H12O6}, and they turn                the plane of polarization to the right or the left.                They are produced from the amyloses and sucroses, as by                the action of heat and acids of ferments, and are                themselves decomposed by fermentation into alcohol and                carbon dioxide. The only sugar (called acrose) as yet                produced artificially belongs to this class. The                sucroses, or cane sugars, are doubled glucose                anhydrides of the formula {C12H22O11}. They are usually                not fermentable as such (cf. {Sucrose}), and they act                on polarized light.          2. By extension, anything resembling sugar in taste or             appearance; as, sugar of lead (lead acetate), a poisonous             white crystalline substance having a sweet taste.          3. Compliment or flattery used to disguise or render             acceptable something obnoxious; honeyed or soothing words.             [Colloq.]          {Acorn sugar}.

See under {Fruit}, and {Fructose}.          {Grape sugar}, a sirupy or white crystalline sugar (dextrose             or glucose) found as a characteristic ingredient of ripe             grapes, and also produced from many other sources. See             {Dextrose}, and {Glucose}.          {Invert sugar}. See under {Invert}.          {Malt sugar}, a variety of sugar isomeric with sucrose, found             in malt. See {Maltose}.          {Manna sugar}, a substance found in manna, resembling, but             distinct from, the sugars. See {Mannite}.          {Milk sugar}, a variety of sugar characteristic of fresh             milk, and isomeric with sucrose. See {Lactose}.          {Muscle sugar}, a sweet white crystalline substance isomeric             with, and formerly regarded to, the glucoses. It is found             in the tissue of muscle, the heart, liver, etc. Called             also {heart sugar}. See {Inosite}.          {Pine sugar}. See {Pinite}.          {Starch sugar} (Com. Chem.), a variety of dextrose made by             the action of heat and acids on starch from corn,             potatoes, etc.; -- called also {potato sugar}, {corn             sugar}, and, inaccurately, {invert sugar}.

See {Sugar orchard}.          {Sugar camp}, a place in or near a sugar orchard, where maple             sugar is made.          {Sugar candian}, sugar candy.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
hardcoded adj.   1. [common] Said of data inserted directly into    a program, where it cannot be easily modified, as opposed to data in    some {profile}, resource (see {de-rezz} sense 2), or environment    variable that a {user} or hacker can easily modify.   2. In C, this    is esp. applied to use of a literal instead of a `#define' macro    (see {magic number}).
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
hired gun n.   A contract programmer, as opposed to a full-time    staff member.   All the connotations of this term suggested by    innumerable spaghetti Westerns are intentional.

hard disk          (In contrast to {floppy disk}).   One or more rigid       {magnetic disks} rotating about a central axle with associated       read/write heads and electronics, used to store data.   Most       hard disks are permanently connected to the drive (fixed       disks) though there are also {removable disks}.          High speed disks have an {access time} of 28 milliseconds or       less, and low-speed disks run 65 milliseconds or more.   The       higher speed disks also transfer their data faster than the       slower speed units.          Each surface of each disk is divided into a number of evenly       spaced concentric circular {tracks}.   The set of all tracks at       a given radius on all surfaces (the tracks which can be       accessed without moving the heads) are known as a {cylinder}.       Each track is divided into {sectors}.          Disk drives are commonly characterised by the kind of       interface used to connect to the computer, e.g. {ATA}, {IDE},       {SCSI}.          See also {winchester}.          {Suchanka's PC-DISK library (http://www.pc-disk.de/)}.          (1999-01-07)

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
hard-coded          (By analogy with "{hard-wired}") Said of a data value       or behaviour written directly into a program, possibly in       multiple places, where it cannot be easily modified.   There       are several alternatives, depending on how often the value is       likely to change.   It may be replaced with a {compile-time}       constant, such as a {C} "#define" {macro}, in which case a       change will still require recompilation; or it may be read at       {run time} from a {profile}, resource (see {de-rezz}), or       {environment variable} that a {user} can easily modify; or it       may be read as part of the program's input data.          To change something hard-coded requires recompilation (if       using a compiled language of course) but, more seriously, it       requires sufficient understanding of the implementation to be       sure that the change will not introduce inconsistency and       cause the program to fail.          For example, "The line terminator is hard-coded as newline;       who in their right mind would use anything else?"          See {magic number}.          [{Jargon File}]          (1999-10-18)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Herdsman       In Egypt herdsmen were probably of the lowest caste. Some of       Joseph's brethren were made rulers over Pharaoh's cattle (Gen.       47:6, 17). The Israelites were known in Egypt as "keepers of       cattle;" and when they left it they took their flocks and herds       with them (Ex. 12:38). Both David and Saul came from "following       the herd" to occupy the throne (1 Sam. 9; 11:5; Ps. 78:70).       David's herd-masters were among his chief officers of state. The       daughters also of wealthy chiefs were wont to tend the flocks of       the family (Gen. 29:9; Ex. 2:16). The "chief of the herdsmen"       was in the time of the monarchy an officer of high rank (1 Sam.       21:7; comp. 1 Chr. 27:29). The herdsmen lived in tents (Isa.       38:12; Jer. 6:3); and there were folds for the cattle (Num.       32:16), and watch-towers for the herdsmen, that he might       therefrom observe any coming danger (Micah 4:8; Nah. 3:8).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Herod Agrippa I.       son of Aristobulus and Bernice, and grandson of Herod the Great.       He was made tetrarch of the provinces formerly held by Lysanias       II., and ultimately possessed the entire kingdom of his       grandfather, Herod the Great, with the title of king. He put the       apostle James the elder to death, and cast Peter into prison       (Luke 3:1; Acts 12:1-19). On the second day of a festival held       in honour of the emperor Claudius, he appeared in the great       theatre of Caesarea. "The king came in clothed in magnificent       robes, of which silver was the costly brilliant material. It was       early in the day, and the sun's rays fell on the king, so that       the eyes of the beholders were dazzled with the brightness which       surrounded him. Voices here and there from the crowd exclaimed       that it was the apparition of something divine. And when he       spoke and made an oration to them, they gave a shout, saying,       'It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.' But in the midst       of this idolatrous ostentation an angel of God suddenly smote       him. He was carried out of the theatre a dying man." He died       (A.D. 44) of the same loathsome malady which slew his       grandfather (Acts. 12:21-23), in the fifty-fourth year of his       age, having reigned four years as tetrarch and three as king       over the whole of Palestine. After his death his kingdom came       under the control of the prefect of Syria, and Palestine was now       fully incorporated with the empire.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Herod the Great       (Matt. 2:1-22; Luke 1:5; Acts 23:35), the son of Antipater, an       Idumaean, and Cypros, an Arabian of noble descent. In the year       B.C. 47 Julius Caesar made Antipater, a "wily Idumaean,"       procurator of Judea, who divided his territories between his       four sons, Galilee falling to the lot of Herod, who was       afterwards appointed tetrarch of Judea by Mark Antony (B.C. 40),       and also king of Judea by the Roman senate.                He was of a stern and cruel disposition. "He was brutish and a       stranger to all humanity." Alarmed by the tidings of one "born       King of the Jews," he sent forth and "slew all the children that       were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years       old and under" (Matt. 2:16). He was fond of splendour, and       lavished great sums in rebuilding and adorning the cities of his       empire. He rebuilt the city of Caesarea (q.v.) on the coast, and       also the city of Samaria (q.v.), which he called Sebaste, in       honour of Augustus. He restored the ruined temple of Jerusalem,       a work which was begun B.C. 20, but was not finished till after       Herod's death, probably not till about A.D. 50 (John 2:20).       After a troubled reign of thirty-seven years, he died at Jericho       amid great agonies both of body and mind, B.C. 4, i.e.,       according to the common chronology, in the year in which Jesus       was born.                After his death his kingdom was divided among three of his       sons. Of these, Philip had the land east of Jordan, between       Caesarea Philippi and Bethabara, Antipas had Galilee and Peraea,       while Archelaus had Judea and Samaria.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Herodias       (Matt. 14:3-11; Mark 6:17-28; Luke 3:19), the daughter of       Aristobulus and Bernice. While residing at Rome with her husband       Herod Philip I. and her daughter, Herod Antipas fell in with her       during one of his journeys to that city. She consented to leave       her husband and become his wife. Some time after, Herod met John       the Baptist, who boldly declared the marriage to be unlawful.       For this he was "cast into prison," in the castle probably of       Machaerus (q.v.), and was there subsequently beheaded.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Horites       cave-men, a race of Troglodytes who dwelt in the limestone caves       which abounded in Edom. Their ancestor was "Seir," who probably       gave his name to the district where he lived. They were a branch       of the Hivites (Gen. 14:6; 36:20-30; 1 Chr. 1:38, 39). They were       dispossessed by the descendants of Esau, and as a people       gradually became extinct (Deut. 2:12-22).
