Telescope \Tel"e*scope\, n. [Gr. [?] viewing afar, farseeing;       [?] far, far off + [?] a watcher, akin to [?] to view: cf. F.       t[82]lescope. See {Telegraph}, and {-scope}.]       An optical instrument used in viewing distant objects, as the       heavenly bodies.          Note: A telescope assists the eye chiefly in two ways; first,                by enlarging the visual angle under which a distant                object is seen, and thus magnifying that object; and,                secondly, by collecting, and conveying to the eye, a                larger beam of light than would enter the naked organ,                thus rendering objects distinct and visible which would                otherwise be indistinct and or invisible. Its essential                parts are the object glass, or concave mirror, which                collects the beam of light, and forms an image of the                object, and the eyeglass, which is a microscope, by                which the image is magnified.          {Achromatic telescope}. See under {Achromatic}.          {Aplanatic telescope}, a telescope having an aplanatic             eyepiece.          {Astronomical telescope}, a telescope which has a simple             eyepiece so constructed or used as not to reverse the             image formed by the object glass, and consequently             exhibits objects inverted, which is not a hindrance in             astronomical observations.          {Cassegrainian telescope}, a reflecting telescope invented by             Cassegrain, which differs from the Gregorian only in             having the secondary speculum convex instead of concave,             and placed nearer the large speculum. The Cassegrainian             represents objects inverted; the Gregorian, in their             natural position. The Melbourne telescope (see Illust.             under {Reflecting telescope}, below) is a Cassegrainian             telescope.          {Dialytic telescope}. See under {Dialytic}.          {Equatorial telescope}. See the Note under {Equatorial}.          {Galilean telescope}, a refracting telescope in which the             eyeglass is a concave instead of a convex lens, as in the             common opera glass. This was the construction originally             adopted by Galileo, the inventor of the instrument. It             exhibits the objects erect, that is, in their natural             positions.          {Gregorian telescope}, a form of reflecting telescope. See             under {Gregorian}.          {Herschelian telescope}, a reflecting telescope of the form             invented by Sir William Herschel, in which only one             speculum is employed, by means of which an image of the             object is formed near one side of the open end of the             tube, and to this the eyeglass is applied directly.          {Newtonian telescope}, a form of reflecting telescope. See             under {Newtonian}.          {Photographic telescope}, a telescope specially constructed             to make photographs of the heavenly bodies.          {Prism telescope}. See {Teinoscope}.          {Reflecting telescope}, a telescope in which the image is             formed by a speculum or mirror (or usually by two             speculums, a large one at the lower end of the telescope,             and the smaller one near the open end) instead of an             object glass. See {Gregorian, Cassegrainian, Herschelian,             [and] Newtonian, telescopes}, above.          {Refracting telescope}, a telescope in which the image is             formed by refraction through an object glass.          {Telescope carp} (Zo[94]l.), the telescope fish.          {Telescope fish} (Zo[94]l.), a monstrous variety of the             goldfish having very protuberant eyes.          {Telescope fly} (Zo[94]l.), any two-winged fly of the genus             {Diopsis}, native of Africa and Asia. The telescope flies             are remarkable for having the eyes raised on very long             stalks.          {Telescope shell} (Zo[94]l.), an elongated gastropod             ({Cerithium telescopium}) having numerous flattened             whorls.          {Telescope sight} (Firearms), a slender telescope attached to             the barrel, having cross wires in the eyepiece and used as             a sight.          {Terrestrial telescope}, a telescope whose eyepiece has one             or two lenses more than the astronomical, for the purpose             of inverting the image, and exhibiting objects erect.

Not-a-Number          (NaN) An {IEEE floating point} representation       for the result of a numerical operation which cannot return a       valid number value.   A NaN can result from multiplying an       infinity by a zero, or from subtracting one infinity from       another [what else?].          NaN is encoded as a special {bit pattern} [what pattern?]       which would otherwise represent a {floating-point} number.   It       is used to signal error returns where other mechanisms are not       convenient, e.g. a hardware {floating-point unit} and to allow       errors to propagate through a calculation.          Similar bit patterns represent positive and negative       {overflow} and {underflow} and the positive and negative       infinities resulting from {division by zero}.          {Bit patterns       (http://www.psc.edu/general/software/packages/ieee/ieee.html)}.          [ANSI/IEEE Std 754-1985].          [Correct?]          (2001-04-01)
From The Elements (22Oct97) [elements]:
neodymium    Symbol: Nd    Atomic number: 60    Atomic weight: 144.24    Soft bright silvery metallic element, belongs to the lanthanoids. Seven natural    isotopes, Nd-144 being the only radioactive one with a half-life of 10^10    to 10^15 years. Six artificial radioisotopes have been produced. The    metal is used in glass works to color class a shade of violet-purple and    make it dichroic. One of the more reactive rare-earth metals, quickly reacts    with air. Used in some rare-earth alloys. Neodymium is used to color    the glass used in welder's glasses. Neodymium is also used in very    powerful, permanent magnets (Nd2Fe14B). Discovered by Carl F. Auer von    Welsbach in Austria in 1885 by separating didymium into its elemental    components {praseodymium} and neodymium. The name comes from the Greek words    "neos didymos" which means "new twin". Neodymium should be considered    highly toxic, however evidence would seem to show that it acts as little    more than a skin and eye irritant. The dust however, presents a fire and    explosion hazard.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Nethinim       the name given to the hereditary temple servants in all the       post-Exilian books of Scripture. The word means given, i.e.,       "those set apart", viz., to the menial work of the sanctuary for       the Levites. The name occurs seventeen times, and in each case       in the Authorized Version incorrectly terminates in "s",       "Nethinims;" in the Revised Version, correctly without the "s"       (Ezra 2:70; 7:7, 24; 8:20, etc.). The tradition is that the       Gibeonites (Josh. 9:27) were the original caste, afterwards       called Nethinim. Their numbers were added to afterwards from       captives taken in battle; and they were formally given by David       to the Levites (Ezra 8:20), and so were called Nethinim, i.e.,       the given ones, given to the Levites to be their servants. Only       612 Nethinim returned from Babylon (Ezra 2:58; 8:20). They were       under the control of a chief from among themselves (2:43; Neh.       7:46). No reference to them appears in the New Testament,       because it is probable that they became merged in the general       body of the Jewish people.
