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.

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.

Lichen \Li"chen\ (l[imac]"k[ecr]n; 277), n. [L., fr. Gr.       leichh`n.]       1. (Bot.) One of a class of cellular, flowerless plants,             (technically called {Lichenes}), having no distinction of             leaf and stem, usually of scaly, expanded, frond-like             forms, but sometimes erect or pendulous and variously             branched. They derive their nourishment from the air, and             generate by means of spores. The species are very widely             distributed, and form irregular spots or patches, usually             of a greenish or yellowish color, upon rocks, trees, and             various bodies, to which they adhere with great tenacity.             They are often improperly called {rock moss} or {tree             moss}.          Note: A favorite modern theory of lichens (called after its                inventor the Schwendener hypothesis), is that they are                not autonomous plants, but that they consist of                ascigerous fungi, parasitic on alg[91].

RSA encryption          A {public-key cryptosystem} for both       {encryption} and {authentication}, invented in 1977 by Ron       Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman.   Its name comes from       their initials.          The RSA {algorithm} works as follows: take two large {prime       numbers}, p and q, and find their product n = pq; n is called       the modulus.   Choose a number, e, less than n and {relatively       prime} to (p-1)(q-1), and find its inverse, d, mod (p-1)(q-1),       which means that ed = 1 mod (p-1)(q-1); e and d are called the       public and private exponents, respectively.   The public key is       the pair (n,e); the private key is d.   The factors p and q       must be kept secret, or destroyed.   It is difficult       (presumably) to obtain the private key d from the public key       (n,e).   If one could factor n into p and q, however, then one       could obtain the private key d.   Thus the entire security of       RSA depends on the difficulty of factoring; an easy method for       factoring products of large prime numbers would break RSA.          {RSA FAQ (http://www.rsa.com/rsalabs/faq/faq_home.html)}.          (2002-03-29)

Reconcilation       a change from enmity to friendship. It is mutual, i.e., it is a       change wrought in both parties who have been at enmity.                (1.) In Col. 1:21, 22, the word there used refers to a change       wrought in the personal character of the sinner who ceases to be       an enemy to God by wicked works, and yields up to him his full       confidence and love. In 2 Cor. 5:20 the apostle beseeches the       Corinthians to be "reconciled to God", i.e., to lay aside their       enmity.                (2.) Rom. 5:10 refers not to any change in our disposition       toward God, but to God himself, as the party reconciled. Romans       5:11 teaches the same truth. From God we have received "the       reconciliation" (R.V.), i.e., he has conferred on us the token       of his friendship. So also 2 Cor. 5:18, 19 speaks of a       reconciliation originating with God, and consisting in the       removal of his merited wrath. In Eph. 2:16 it is clear that the       apostle does not refer to the winning back of the sinner in love       and loyalty to God, but to the restoration of God's forfeited       favour. This is effected by his justice being satisfied, so that       he can, in consistency with his own nature, be favourable toward       sinners. Justice demands the punishment of sinners. The death of       Christ satisfies justice, and so reconciles God to us. This       reconciliation makes God our friend, and enables him to pardon       and save us. (See {ATONEMENT}.)
