Steam engine \Steam" en"gine\       An engine moved by steam.          Note: In its most common forms its essential parts are a                piston, a cylinder, and a valve gear. The piston works                in the cylinder, to which steam is admitted by the                action of the valve gear, and communicates motion to                the machinery to be actuated. Steam engines are thus                classified: 1. According to the wat the steam is used                or applied, as condencing, noncondencing, compound,                double-acting, single-acting, triple-expansion, etc. 2.                According to the motion of the piston, as                reciprocating, rotary, etc. 3. According to the motion                imparted by the engine, as rotative and nonrotative. 4.                According to the arrangement of the engine, as                stationary, portable, and semiportable engines, beam                engine, oscillating engine, direct-acting and                back-acting engines, etc. 5. According to their uses,                as portable, marine, locomotive, pumping, blowing,                winding, and stationary engines. Locomotive and                portable engines are usually high-pressure,                noncondencing, rotative, and direct-acting. Marine                engines are high or low pressure, rotative, and                generally condencing, double-acting, and compound.                Paddle engines are generally beam, side[?]lever,                oscillating, or direct-acting. Screw engines are                generally direct-acting, back-acting, or oscillating.                Stationary engines belong to various classes, but are                generally rotative. A horizontal or inclined stationary                steam engine is called a left-hand or a right-hand                engine when the crank shaft and driving pulley are on                the left-hand side, or the right-hand side,                respectively, or the engine, to a person looking at                them from the cylinder, and is said to run forward or                backward when the crank traverses the upward half, or                lower half, respectively, of its path, while the piston                rod makes its stroke outward from the cylinder. A                marine engine, or the engine of a locomotive, is said                to run forward when its motion is such as would propel                the vessel or the locomotive forward. Steam engines are                further classified as double-cylinder, disk,                semicylinder, trunk engines, etc. Machines, such as                cranes, hammers, etc., of which the steam engine forms                a part, are called steam cranes, steam hammers, etc.                See Illustration in Appendix.          {Back-acting}, [or] {Back-action}, {steam engine}, a steam             engine in which the motion is transmitted backward from             the crosshead to a crank which is between the crosshead             and the cylinder, or beyond the cylinder.          {Portable steam engine}, a steam engine combined with, and             attached to, a boiler which is mounted on wheels so as to             admit of easy transportation; -- used for driving             machinery in the field, as trashing machines, draining             pumps, etc.          {Semiportable steam engine}, a steam engine combined with,             and attached to, a steam boiler, but not mounted on             wheels.

Its             mean distance from the earth is about 92,500,000 miles,             and its diameter about 860,000.          Note: Its mean apparent diameter as seen from the earth is                32[b7] 4[sec], and it revolves on its own axis once in                25[frac13] days. Its mean density is about one fourth                of that of the earth, or 1.41, that of water being                unity. Its luminous surface is called the photosphere,                above which is an envelope consisting partly of                hydrogen, called the chromosphere, which can be seen                only through the spectroscope, or at the time of a                total solar eclipse.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
semaphore          The classic method for       restricting access to shared resources (e.g. storage) in a       {multi-processing} environment.   They were invented by       {Dijkstra} and first used in {T.H.E} {operating system}.          A semaphore is a {protected variable} (or {abstract data       type}) which can only be accessed using the following       operations:          P(s)       Semaphore s;       {          while (s == 0) ; /* wait until s>0 */          s = s-1;       }          V(s)       Semaphore s;       {          s = s+1;       }          Init(s, v)       Semaphore s;       Int v;       {          s = v;       }          P and V stand for Dutch "Proberen", to test, and "Verhogen",       to increment.   The value of a semaphore is the number of units       of the resource which are free (if there is only one resource       a "binary semaphore" with values 0 or 1 is used).   The P       operation {busy-wait}s (or maybe {sleep}s) until a resource is       available whereupon it immediately claims one.   V is the       inverse, it simply makes a resource available again after the       process has finished using it.   Init is only used to       initialise the semaphore before any requests are made.   The P       and V operations must be {indivisible}, i.e. no other process       can access the semaphore during the their execution.          To avoid {busy-wait}ing, a semaphore may have an associated       {queue} of processes (usually a {FIFO}).   If a process does a       P on a semaphore which is zero the process is added to the       semaphore's queue.   When another process increments the       semaphore by doing a V and there are tasks on the queue, one       is taken off and resumed.          (1995-02-01)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Shemeber       soaring on high, the king of Zeboiim, who joined with the other       kings in casting off the yoke of Chedorlaomer. After having been       reconquered by him, he was rescued by Abraham (Gen. 14:2).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Sin-offering       (Heb. hattath), the law of, is given in detail in Lev. 4-6:13;       9:7-11, 22-24; 12:6-8; 15:2, 14, 25-30; 14:19, 31; Num. 6:10-14.       On the day of Atonement it was made with special solemnity (Lev.       16:5, 11, 15). The blood was then carried into the holy of       holies and sprinkled on the mercy-seat. Sin-offerings were also       presented at the five annual festivals (Num. 28, 29), and on the       occasion of the consecration of the priests (Ex. 29:10-14, 36).       As each individual, even the most private member of the       congregation, as well as the congregation at large, and the high       priest, was obliged, on being convicted by his conscience of any       particular sin, to come with a sin-offering, we see thus       impressively disclosed the need in which every sinner stands of       the salvation of Christ, and the necessity of making application       to it as often as the guilt of sin renews itself upon his       conscience. This resort of faith to the perfect sacrifice of       Christ is the one way that lies open for the sinner's attainment       of pardon and restoration to peace. And then in the sacrifice       itself there is the reality of that incomparable worth and       preciousness which were so significantly represented in the       sin-offering by the sacredness of its blood and the hallowed       destination of its flesh. With reference to this the blood of       Christ is called emphatically "the precious blood," and the       blood that "cleanseth from all sin" (1 John 1:7).
