                  repentance. We even apply the term regret to

                  absence of friends or their loss. When connected with

   record
  
      An {ordered set} of {fields},
      usually stored contiguously.   The term is used with similar
      meaning in several different contexts.   In a file, a "record"
      probably has some fixed length, in contrast to a "line" which
      may have any length and is terminated by some {End Of Line}
      sequence).   A {database} record is also called a "row".   In a
      {spreadsheet} it is always called a "row".   Some programming
      languages use the term to mean a type composed of fields of
      several other types ({C} calls this a "{struct}").
  
      In all these cases, a record represents an entity with certain
      field values.
  
      Fields may be of a fixed width ({bit}s or {characters}) or
      they may be separated by a {delimiter} character, often
      {comma} ({CSV}) or {HT} ({TSV}).
  
      In a database the list of values of a given field from all
      records is called a column.

   Richard Hamming
  
      Professor Richard Wesley Hamming (1915-02-11 -
      1998-01-07).   An American mathematician known for his work in
      {information theory} (notably {error detection and
      correction}), having invented the concepts of {Hamming code},
      {Hamming distance}, and {Hamming window}.
  
      Richard Hamming received his B.S. from the University of
      Chicago in 1937, his M.A. from the University of Nebraska in
      1939, and his Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of
      Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1942.   In 1945 Hamming joined
      the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos.
  
      In 1946, after World War II, Hamming joined the {Bell
      Telephone Laboratories} where he worked with both {Shannon}
      and {John Tukey}.   He worked there until 1976 when he accepted
      a chair of computer science at the Naval Postgraduate School
      at Monterey, California.
  
      Hamming's fundamental paper on error-detecting and
      error-correcting codes ("{Hamming codes}") appeared in 1950.
  
      His work on the {IBM 650} leading to the development in 1956
      of the {L2} programming language.   This never displaced the
      workhorse language {L1} devised by Michael V Wolontis.   By
      1958 the 650 had been elbowed aside by the 704.
  
      Although best known for error-correcting codes, Hamming was
      primarily a numerical analyst, working on integrating
      {differential equations} and the {Hamming spectral window}
      used for smoothing data before {Fourier analysis}.   He wrote
      textbooks, propounded aphorisms ("the purpose of computing is
      insight, not numbers"), and was a founder of the {ACM} and a
      proponent of {open-shop} computing ("better to solve the right
      problem the wrong way than the wrong problem the right way.").
  
      In 1968 he was made a fellow of the {Institute of Electrical
      and Electronics Engineers} and awarded the {Turing Prize} from
      the {Association for Computing Machinery}.   The Institute of
      Electrical and Electronics Engineers awarded Hamming the
      Emanuel R Piore Award in 1979 and a medal in 1988.

   Recorder
      (Heb. mazkir, i.e., "the mentioner," "rememberancer"), the
      office first held by Jehoshaphat in the court of David (2 Sam.

      recorder mentioned is Joah, in the reign of Hezekiah (2 Kings
      18:18, 37; Isa. 36:3, 22). In the reign of Josiah another of the
      name of Joah filled this office (2 Chr. 34:8). The "recorder"
      was the chancellor or vizier of the kingdom. He brought all
      weighty matters under the notice of the king, "such as
      complaints, petitions, and wishes of subjects or foreigners. He
      also drew up papers for the king's guidance, and prepared drafts
