Mars n.   A legendary tragic failure, the archetypal Hacker    Dream Gone Wrong.   Mars was the code name for a family of PDP-10    compatible computers built by Systems Concepts (now, The SC Group):    the multi-processor SC-30M, the small uniprocessor SC-25M, and the    never-built superprocessor SC-40M.   These machines were marvels of    engineering design; although not much slower than the unique    {Foonly} F-1, they were physically smaller and consumed less power    than the much slower {DEC} KS10 or Foonly F-2, F-3, or F-4 machines.    They were also completely compatible with the DEC KL10, and ran all    KL10 binaries (including the operating system) with no modifications    at about 2-3 times faster than a KL10.          When DEC cancelled the Jupiter project in 1983, Systems Concepts    should have made a bundle selling their machine into shops with a    lot of software investment in PDP-10s, and in fact their spring 1984    announcement generated a great deal of excitement in the PDP-10    world.   TOPS-10 was running on the Mars by the summer of 1984, and    TOPS-20 by early fall.   Unfortunately, the hackers running Systems    Concepts were much better at designing machines than at mass    producing or selling them; the company allowed itself to be    sidetracked by a bout of perfectionism into continually improving    the design, and lost credibility as delivery dates continued to    slip.   They also overpriced the product ridiculously; they believed    they were competing with the KL10 and VAX 8600 and failed to reckon    with the likes of Sun Microsystems and other hungry startups    building workstations with power comparable to the KL10 at a    fraction of the price.   By the time SC shipped the first SC-30M to    Stanford in late 1985, most customers had already made the traumatic    decision to abandon the PDP-10, usually for VMS or Unix boxes.   Most    of the Mars computers built ended up being purchased by CompuServe.          This tale and the related saga of {Foonly} hold a lesson for    hackers: if you want to play in the {Real World}, you need to learn    Real World moves.

Mareshah       possession, a city in the plain of Judah (John. 15:44). Here Asa       defeated Zerah the Ethiopian (2 Chr. 14:9, 10). It is identified       with the ruin el-Mer'ash, about 1 1/2 mile south of Beit Jibrin.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Mark       the evangelist; "John whose surname was Mark" (Acts 12:12, 25).       Mark (Marcus, Col. 4:10, etc.) was his Roman name, which       gradually came to supersede his Jewish name John. He is called       John in Acts 13:5, 13, and Mark in 15:39, 2 Tim. 4:11, etc.                He was the son of Mary, a woman apparently of some means and       influence, and was probably born in Jerusalem, where his mother       resided (Acts 12:12). Of his father we know nothing. He was       cousin of Barnabas (Col. 4:10). It was in his mother's house       that Peter found "many gathered together praying" when he was       released from prison; and it is probable that it was here that       he was converted by Peter, who calls him his "son" (1 Pet.       5:13). It is probable that the "young man" spoken of in Mark       14:51, 52 was Mark himself. He is first mentioned in Acts 12:25.       He went with Paul and Barnabas on their first journey (about       A.D. 47) as their "minister," but from some cause turned back       when they reached Perga in Pamphylia (Acts 12:25; 13:13). Three       years afterwards a "sharp contention" arose between Paul and       Barnabas (15:36-40), because Paul would not take Mark with him.       He, however, was evidently at length reconciled to the apostle,       for he was with him in his first imprisonment at Rome (Col.       4:10; Philemon 1:24). At a later period he was with Peter in       Babylon (1 Pet. 5:13), then, and for some centuries afterwards,       one of the chief seats of Jewish learning; and he was with       Timothy in Ephesus when Paul wrote him during his second       imprisonment (2 Tim. 4:11). He then disappears from view.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Marriage       was instituted in Paradise when man was in innocence (Gen.       2:18-24). Here we have its original charter, which was confirmed       by our Lord, as the basis on which all regulations are to be       framed (Matt. 19:4, 5). It is evident that monogamy was the       original law of marriage (Matt. 19:5; 1 Cor. 6:16). This law was       violated in after times, when corrupt usages began to be       introduced (Gen. 4:19; 6:2). We meet with the prevalence of       polygamy and concubinage in the patriarchal age (Gen. 16:1-4;       22:21-24; 28:8, 9; 29:23-30, etc.). Polygamy was acknowledged in       the Mosaic law and made the basis of legislation, and continued       to be practised all down through the period of Jewish histroy to       the Captivity, after which there is no instance of it on record.                It seems to have been the practice from the beginning for       fathers to select wives for their sons (Gen. 24:3; 38:6).       Sometimes also proposals were initiated by the father of the       maiden (Ex. 2:21). The brothers of the maiden were also       sometimes consulted (Gen. 24:51; 34:11), but her own consent was       not required. The young man was bound to give a price to the       father of the maiden (31:15; 34:12; Ex. 22:16, 17; 1 Sam. 18:23,       25; Ruth 4:10; Hos. 3:2) On these patriarchal customs the Mosaic       law made no change.                In the pre-Mosaic times, when the proposals were accepted and       the marriage price given, the bridegroom could come at once and       take away his bride to his own house (Gen. 24:63-67). But in       general the marriage was celebrated by a feast in the house of       the bride's parents, to which all friends were invited (29:22,       27); and on the day of the marriage the bride, concealed under a       thick veil, was conducted to her future husband's home.                Our Lord corrected many false notions then existing on the       subject of marriage (Matt. 22:23-30), and placed it as a divine       institution on the highest grounds. The apostles state clearly       and enforce the nuptial duties of husband and wife (Eph.       5:22-33; Col. 3:18, 19; 1 Pet. 3:1-7). Marriage is said to be       "honourable" (Heb. 13:4), and the prohibition of it is noted as       one of the marks of degenerate times (1 Tim. 4:3).                The marriage relation is used to represent the union between       God and his people (Isa. 54:5; Jer. 3:1-14; Hos. 2:9, 20). In       the New Testament the same figure is employed in representing       the love of Christ to his saints (Eph. 5:25-27). The Church of       the redeemed is the "Bride, the Lamb's wife" (Rev. 19:7-9).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Mercy       compassion for the miserable. Its object is misery. By the       atoning sacrifice of Christ a way is open for the exercise of       mercy towards the sons of men, in harmony with the demands of       truth and righteousness (Gen. 19:19; Ex. 20:6; 34:6, 7; Ps.       85:10; 86:15, 16). In Christ mercy and truth meet together.       Mercy is also a Christian grace (Matt. 5:7; 18:33-35).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Meroz       a plain in the north of Palestine, the inhabitants of which were       severely condemned because they came not to help Barak against       Sisera (Judg. 5:23: comp. 21:8-10; 1 Sam. 11:7). It has been       identified with Marassus, on a knoll to the north of Wady Jalud,       but nothing certainly is known of it. Like Chorazin, it is only       mentioned in Scripture in connection with the curse pronounced       upon it.

Since    the early 1980s the government has pursued an economic program toward    these objectives with the support of the IMF, the World Bank, and the    Paris Club of creditors. The economy has substantial assets to draw    on: the world's largest phosphate reserves, diverse agricultural and    fishing resources, a sizable tourist industry, a growing manufacturing    sector, and remittances from Moroccans working abroad. A severe    drought in 1992-93 depressed economic activity and held down exports.    Real GDP contracted by 4.4% in 1992 and 1.1% in 1993. Despite these    setbacks, initiatives to relax capital controls, strengthen the    banking sector, and privatize state enterprises went forward in    1993-94. Favorable rainfall in 1994 boosted agricultural production by    40%. Servicing the large debt, high unemployment, and vulnerability to    external economic forces remain long-term problems for Morocco.       National product: GDP - purchasing power parity - $87.5 billion (1994    est.)       National product real growth rate: 8% (1994 est.)       National product per capita: $3,060 (1994 est.)       Inflation rate (consumer prices): 5.4% (1994)       Unemployment rate: 16% (1994 est.)       Budget:    revenues: $8.1 billion    expenditures: $8.9 billion (1994 est.)       Exports: $4.1 billion (f.o.b., 1994 est.)    commodities: food and beverages 30%, semiprocessed goods 23%, consumer    goods 21%, phosphates 17%    partners: EU 70%, Japan 5%, US 4%, Libya 3%, India 2% (1993)       Imports: $7.5 billion (c.i.f., 1994 est.)    commodities: capital goods 24%, semiprocessed goods 22%, raw materials    16%, fuel and lubricants 16%, food and beverages 13%, consumer goods    9%    partners: EC 59%, US 8%, Saudi Arabia 5%, UAE 3%, Russia 2% (1993)       External debt: $20.5 billion (1994 est.)       Industrial production: growth rate 0.1% accounts for 28% of GDP       Electricity:    capacity: 2,620,000 kW    production: 9.9 billion kWh    consumption per capita: 361 kWh (1993)       Industries: phosphate rock mining and processing, food processing,    leather goods, textiles, construction, tourism       Agriculture: accounts for 15% of GDP, 50% of employment, and 30% of    export value; not self-sufficient in food; cereal farming and    livestock raising predominate; barley, wheat, citrus fruit, wine,    vegetables, olives       Illicit drugs: illicit producer of hashish; trafficking on the    increase for both domestic and international drug markets; shipments    of hashish mostly directed to Western Europe; transit point for    cocaine from South America destined for Western Europe       Economic aid:    recipient: US commitments, including Ex-Im (FY70-89), $1.3 billion; US    commitments, including Ex-Im (1992), $123.6 million; Western (non-US)    countries, ODA and OOF bilateral commitments (1970-89), $7.5 billion;    OPEC bilateral aid (1979-89), $4.8 billion; Communist countries    (1970-89), $2.5 billion    note: $2.8 billion debt canceled by Saudi Arabia (1991); IMF standby    agreement worth $13 million; World Bank, $450 million (1991)       Currency: 1 Moroccan dirham (DH) = 100 centimes       Exchange rates: Moroccan dirhams (DH) per US$1 - 2.892 (January 1995),    9.203 (1994), 9.299 (1993), 8.538 (1992), 8.707 (1991), 8.242 (1990)       Fiscal year: calendar year       Morocco:Transportation       Railroads:    total: 1,893 km    standard gauge: 1,893 km 1.435-m gauge (974 km electrified; 246 km    double track)       Highways:    total: 59,474 km    paved: 29,440 km    unpaved: gravel, crushed stone, improved earth, unimproved earth    30,034 km       Pipelines: crude oil 362 km; petroleum products (abandoned) 491 km;    natural gas 241 km       Ports: Agadir, Al Jadida, Casablanca, El Jorf Lasfar, Kenitra,    Mohammedia, Nador, Rabat, Safi, Tangier; also Spanish-controlled Ceuta    and Melilla       Merchant marine:    total: 38 ships (1,000 GRT or over) totaling 183,951 GRT/273,057 DWT    ships by type: cargo 6, chemical tanker 9, container 2, oil tanker 4,    refrigerated cargo 10, roll-on/roll-off cargo 6, short-sea passenger 1       Airports:    total: 74    with paved runways over 3,047 m: 11    with paved runways 2,438 to 3,047 m: 4    with paved runways 1,524 to 2,437 m: 8    with paved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 3    with paved runways under 914 m: 13    with unpaved runways 2,438 to 3,047 m: 1    with unpaved runways 1,524 to 2,438 m: 10    with unpaved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 24       Morocco:Communications       Telephone system: 280,000 telephones; 10.5 telephones/1,000 persons    local: NA    intercity: good system composed of wire lines, cables, and microwave    radio relay links; principal centers are Casablanca and Rabat;    secondary centers are Fes, Marrakech, Oujda, Tangier, and Tetouan    international: 5 submarine cables; 2 INTELSAT (Atlantic Ocean) and 1    ARABSAT earth station; microwave radio relay to Gibraltar, Spain, and    Western Sahara; coaxial cable and microwave radio relay to Algeria;    microwave radio relay network linking Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Libya,    Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco       Radio:    broadcast stations: AM 20, FM 7, shortwave 0    radios: NA       Television:    broadcast stations: 26 (repeaters 26)    televisions: NA       Morocco:Defense Forces       Branches: Royal Moroccan Army, Royal Moroccan Navy, Royal Moroccan Air    Force, Royal Gendarmerie, Auxiliary Forces       Manpower availability: males age 15-49 7,307,076; males fit for    military service 4,637,453; males reach military age (18) annually    323,921 (1995 est.)       Defense expenditures: exchange rate conversion - $1.3 billion, 3.8% of    GDP (1994)
