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.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
sitename /si:t'naym/ n.   [Unix/Internet] The unique electronic    name of a computer system, used to identify it in UUCP mail, Usenet,    or other forms of electronic information interchange.   The folklore    interest of sitenames stems from the creativity and humor they often    display.   Interpreting a sitename is not unlike interpreting a    vanity license plate; one has to mentally unpack it, allowing for    mono-case and length restrictions and the lack of whitespace.    Hacker tradition deprecates dull, institutional-sounding names in    favor of punchy, humorous, and clever coinages (except that it is    considered appropriate for the official public gateway machine of an    organization to bear the organization's name or acronym).    Mythological references, cartoon characters, animal names, and    allusions to SF or fantasy literature are probably the most popular    sources for sitenames (in roughly descending order).   The obligatory    comment when discussing these is Harris's Lament: "All the good ones    are taken!"   See also {network address}.

uses the popular pan-African colors of Ethiopia       Economy       Overview: This small poor island economy has remained dependent on    cocoa since independence 20 years ago. Since then, however, cocoa    production has gradually declined because of drought and    mismanagement, so that by 1987 annual output had fallen from 10,000    tons to 3,900 tons. As a result, a shortage of cocoa for export has    created a serious balance-of-payments problem. Production of less    important crops, such as coffee, copra, and palm kernels, has also    declined. The value of imports generally exceeds that of exports by a    ratio of 4:1 or more. The emphasis on cocoa production at the expense    of other food crops has meant that Sao Tome has to import 90% of food    needs. It also has to import all fuels and most manufactured goods.    Over the years, Sao Tome has been unable to service its external debt    and has had to depend on concessional aid and debt rescheduling.    Considerable potential exists for development of a tourist industry,    and the government has taken steps to expand facilities in recent    years. The government also has attempted to reduce price controls and    subsidies and to encourage market-based mechanisms, e. g., to    facilitate the distribution of imported food.
