From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Pardon \Pardon\, remission \remission\          Usage: {Forgiveness}, {Pardon}. Forgiveness is Anglo-Saxon,                   and pardon Norman French, both implying a giving back.                   The word pardon, being early used in our Bible, has,                   in religious matters, the same sense as forgiveness;                   but in the language of common life there is a                   difference between them, such as we often find between                   corresponding Anglo-Saxon and Norman words. Forgive                   points to inward feeling, and suppose alienated                   affection; when we ask forgiveness, we primarily seek                   the removal of anger. Pardon looks more to outward                   things or consequences, and is often applied to                   trifling matters, as when we beg pardon for                   interrupting a man, or for jostling him in a crowd.                   The civil magistrate also grants a pardon, and not                   forgiveness. The two words are, therefore, very                   clearly distinguished from each other in most cases                   which relate to the common concerns of life.

Pulley \Pul"ley\, n.; pl. {Pulleys}. [F. poulie, perhaps of       Teutonic origin (cf. {Poll}, v. t.); but cf. OE. poleine,       polive, pulley, LL. polanus, and F. poulain, properly, a       colt, fr. L. pullus young animal, foal (cf. {Pullet},       {Foal}). For the change of sense, cf. F. poutre beam,       originally, a filly, and E. easel.] (Mach.)       A wheel with a broad rim, or grooved rim, for transmitting       power from, or imparting power to, the different parts of       machinery, or for changing the direction of motion, by means       of a belt, cord, rope, or chain.          Note: The pulley, as one of the mechanical powers, consists,                in its simplest form, of a grooved wheel, called a                sheave, turning within a movable frame or block, by                means of a cord or rope attached at one end to a fixed                point. The force, acting on the free end of the rope,                is thus doubled, but can move the load through only                half the space traversed by itself. The rope may also                pass over a sheave in another block that is fixed. The                end of the rope may be fastened to the movable block,                instead of a fixed point, with an additional gain of                power, and using either one or two sheaves in the fixed                block. Other sheaves may be added, and the power                multiplied accordingly. Such an apparatus is called by                workmen a block and tackle, or a fall and tackle. See                {Block}. A single fixed pulley gives no increase of                power, but serves simply for changing the direction of                motion.          {Band pulley}, [or] {Belt pulley}, a pulley with a broad face             for transmitting power between revolving shafts by means             of a belt, or for guiding a belt.          {Cone pulley}. See {Cone pulley}.          {Conical pulley}, one of a pair of belt pulleys, each in the             shape of a truncated cone, for varying velocities.          {Fast pulley}, a pulley firmly attached upon a shaft.          {Loose pulley}, a pulley loose on a shaft, to interrupt the             transmission of motion in machinery. See {Fast and loose             pulleys}, under {Fast}.          {Parting pulley}, a belt pulley made in semicircular halves,             which can be bolted together, to facilitate application             to, or removal from, a shaft.          {Pulley block}. Same as {Block}, n. 6.          {Pulley stile} (Arch.), the upright of the window frame into             which a pulley is fixed and along which the sash slides.                      {Split pulley}, a parting pulley.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
powerdomain          The powerdomain of a {domain} D is a domain       containing some of the {subsets} of D.   Due to the asymmetry       condition in the definition of a {partial order} (and       therefore of a domain) the powerdomain cannot contain all the       subsets of D.   This is because there may be different sets X       and Y such that X <= Y and Y <= X which, by the asymmetry       condition would have to be considered equal.          There are at least three possible orderings of the subsets of       a powerdomain:          Egli-Milner:          X <= Y   iff   for all x in X, exists y in Y: x <= y                   and   for all y in Y, exists x in X: x <= y          ("The other domain always contains a related element").          Hoare or Partial Correctness or Safety:          X <= Y   iff   for all x in X, exists y in Y: x <= y          ("The bigger domain always contains a bigger element").          Smyth or Total Correctness or Liveness:          X <= Y   iff   for all y in Y, exists x in X: x <= y          ("The smaller domain always contains a smaller element").          If a powerdomain represents the result of an {abstract       interpretation} in which a bigger value is a safe       approximation to a smaller value then the Hoare powerdomain is       appropriate because the safe approximation Y to the       powerdomain X contains a safe approximation to each point in       X.          ("<=" is written in {LaTeX} as {\sqsubseteq}).          (1995-02-03)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Pardon       the forgiveness of sins granted freely (Isa. 43:25), readily       (Neh. 9:17; Ps. 86:5), abundantly (Isa. 55:7; Rom. 5:20). Pardon       is an act of a sovereign, in pure sovereignty, granting simply a       remission of the penalty due to sin, but securing neither honour       nor reward to the pardoned. Justification (q.v.), on the other       hand, is the act of a judge, and not of a sovereign, and       includes pardon and, at the same time, a title to all the       rewards and blessings promised in the covenant of life.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Parthians       were present in Jerusalem at Pentecost (Acts 2:9). Parthia lay       on the east of Media and south of Hyrcania, which separated it       from the Caspian Sea. It corresponded with the western half of       the modern Khorasan, and now forms a part of Persia.
