   symmetric
  
      1. A {relation} R is symmetric if, for all x and
      y,
  
      x R y   =>   y R x
  
      If it is also {antisymmetric} (x R y & y R x => x == y) then
      x R y => x == y, i.e. no two different elements are related.
  
      2. In {linear algebra}, a member of the {tensor product} of a
      {vector space} with itself one or more times, is symmetric if
      it is a {fixed point} of all of the {linear isomorphisms} of
      the tensor product generated by {permutations} of the ordering
      of the copies of the vector space as factors.   It is said to
      be antisymmetric precisely if the action of any of these
      linear maps, on the given tensor, is equivalent to
      multiplication by the sign of the permutation in question.

   symmetric multiprocessing
  
      (SMP) Two or more similar {processor}s connected
      via a high-{bandwidth} link and managed by one {operating
      system}, where each processor has equal access to I/O devices.
      This is in contrast to the "{compute server}" kind of
      {parallel processor} where a {front-end processor} handles all
      I/O to disks, terminals and {local area network} etc.
  
      The processors are treated more or less equally, with
      {application program}s able to run on any or perhaps all
      processors in the system, interchangeably, at the operating
      system's discretion.   Simple MP usually involves assigning
      each processor to a fixed task (such as managing the file
      system), reserving the single main CPU for general tasks.
  
      {OS/2} currently supports so-called HMP (Hybrid
      Multiprocessing), which provides some elements of symmetric
      multiprocessing, using add-on IBM software called MP/2.   OS/2
      SMP was planned for release in late 1993.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Samothracia
      an island in the AEgean Sea, off the coast of Thracia, about 32
      miles distant. This Thracian Samos was passed by Paul on his
      voyage from Troas to Neapolis (Acts 16:11) on his first
      missionary journey. It is about 8 miles long and 6 miles broad.
      Its modern name is Samothraki.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Sanhedrim
      more correctly Sanhedrin (Gr. synedrion), meaning "a sitting
      together," or a "council." This word (rendered "council," A.V.)
      is frequently used in the New Testament (Matt. 5:22; 26:59; Mark
      15:1, etc.) to denote the supreme judicial and administrative
      council of the Jews, which, it is said, was first instituted by
      Moses, and was composed of seventy men (Num. 11:16, 17). But
      that seems to have been only a temporary arrangement which Moses
      made. This council is with greater probability supposed to have
      originated among the Jews when they were under the domination of
      the Syrian kings in the time of the Maccabees. The name is first
      employed by the Jewish historian Josephus. This "council" is
      referred to simply as the "chief priests and elders of the
      people" (Matt. 26:3, 47, 57, 59; 27:1, 3, 12, 20, etc.), before
      whom Christ was tried on the charge of claiming to be the
      Messiah. Peter and John were also brought before it for
      promulgating heresy (Acts. 4:1-23; 5:17-41); as was also Stephen
      on a charge of blasphemy (6:12-15), and Paul for violating a
      temple by-law (22:30; 23:1-10).
     
         The Sanhedrin is said to have consisted of seventy-one
      members, the high priest being president. They were of three
      classes (1) the chief priests, or heads of the twenty-four
      priestly courses (1 Chr. 24), (2) the scribes, and (3) the
      elders. As the highest court of judicature, "in all causes and
      over all persons, ecclesiastical and civil, supreme," its
      decrees were binding, not only on the Jews in Palestine, but on
      all Jews wherever scattered abroad. Its jurisdiction was greatly
      curtailed by Herod, and afterwards by the Romans. Its usual
      place of meeting was within the precincts of the temple, in the
      hall "Gazith," but it sometimes met also in the house of the
      high priest (Matt. 26:3), who was assisted by two
      vice-presidents.
