      Usage: {Account}, {Narrative}, {Narration}, {Recital}. These
                  words are applied to different modes of rehearsing a
                  series of events. {Account} turns attention not so
                  much to the speaker as to the fact related, and more
                  properly applies to the report of some single event,
                  or a group of incidents taken as whole; as, an
                  {account} of a battle, of a shipwreck, etc. A

                  incidents, such as one friend might tell to another;
                  as, a {narrative} of the events of a siege, a
                  {narrative} of one's life, etc. {Narration} is usually
                  the same as {narrative}, but is sometimes used to
                  describe the {mode} of relating events; as, his powers
                  of {narration} are uncommonly great. {Recital} denotes
                  a series of events drawn out into minute particulars,
                  usually expressing something which peculiarly
                  interests the feelings of the speaker; as, the
                  {recital} of one's wrongs, disappointments,
                  sufferings, etc.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   ones complement
  
      A system used in some computers to represent negative
      numbers. To negate a number, each bit of the number is
      inverted (zeros are replaced with ones and vice versa).   This
      has the consequence that there are two reperesentations for
      zero, either all zeros or all ones.
  
      ...
      000...00011 = +3
      000...00010 = +2
      000...00001 = +1
      000...00000 = +0
      111...11111 = -0
      111...11110 = -1
      111...11101 = -2
      111...11100 = -3
      ...
  
      Naive logic for ones complement addition might easily conclude
      that -0 + 1 = +0.
  
      The {twos complement} avoids this by using all ones to
      represent -1.
  
  

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Onesimus
      useful, a slave who, after robbing his master Philemon (q.v.) at
      Colosse, fled to Rome, where he was converted by the apostle
      Paul, who sent him back to his master with the epistle which
      bears his name. In it he beseeches Philemon to receive his slave
      as a "faithful and beloved brother." Paul offers to pay to
      Philemon anything his slave had taken, and to bear the wrong he
      had done him. He was accompanied on his return by Tychicus, the
      bearer of the Epistle to the Colossians (Philemon 1:16, 18).
     
         The story of this fugitive Colossian slave is a remarkable
      evidence of the freedom of access to the prisoner which was
      granted to all, and "a beautiful illustration both of the
      character of St. Paul and the transfiguring power and righteous
      principles of the gospel."
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Onesimus, profitable; useful
