The steam issues from a narrow annular             orifice around the upper edge of the lower cup or             hemisphere, striking the thin edge of the bell above it,             and producing sound in the manner of an organ pipe or a             common whistle.

The steam issues from a narrow annular             orifice around the upper edge of the lower cup or             hemisphere, striking the thin edge of the bell above it,             and producing sound in the manner of an organ pipe or a             common whistle.

Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory          (SAIL) /sayl/, not /S-A-I-L/ An important       site in the early development of {LISP}; with the {MIT AI       Lab}, {BBN}, {CMU}, {XEROX PARC}, and the {Unix} community,       one of the major wellsprings of technical innovation and       hacker-culture traditions (see the {WAITS} entry for details).       The SAIL machines were shut down in late May 1990, scant weeks       after the MIT AI Lab's ITS cluster was officially       decommissioned.          [{Jargon File}]          (2001-06-22)

Stanford Artificial Intelligence Language          (SAIL) Dan Swinehart & Bob Sproull, Stanford AI       Project, 1970.   A large ALGOL 60-like language for the DEC-10       and DEC-20.   Its main feature is a symbolic data system based       upon an associative store (originally called LEAP).   Items may       be stored as unordered sets or as associations (triples).       Processes, events and interrupts, contexts, backtracking and       record garbage collection.   Block- structured macros.   "Recent       Developments in SAIL - An ALGOL-based Language for Artificial       Intelligence", J. Feldman et al, Proc FJCC 41(2), AFIPS (Fall       1972).   (See MAINSAIL).          The Stanford Artificial Intelligence Language used at {SAIL}       (the place).   It was an ALGOL 60 derivative with a coroutining       facility and some new data types intended for building search       trees and association lists.          A number of interesting software systems were coded in SAIL,       including early versions of {FTP} and {TeX} and a document       formatting system called {PUB}.          In 1978, there were half a dozen different operating systems       for the PDP-10: WAITS (Stanford), ITS (MIT), TOPS-10 (DEC),       CMU TOPS-10 (CMU), TENEX (BBN), and TOPS-20 (DEC, after       TENEX).          SAIL was ported from {WAITS} to {ITS} so that {MIT}       researchers could make use of software developed at {Stanford       University}.   Every port usually required the rewriting of I/O       code in each application.          [{Jargon File}]          (2001-06-22)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Siddim, Vale of       valley of the broad plains, "which is the salt sea" (Gen. 14:3,       8, 10), between Engedi and the cities of the plain, at the south       end of the Dead Sea. It was "full of slime-pits" (R.V., "bitumen       pits"). Here Chedorlaomer and the confederate kings overthrew       the kings of Sodom and the cities of the plain. God afterwards,       on account of their wickedness, "overthrew those cities, and all       the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities;" and the smoke       of their destruction "went up as the smoke of a furnace"       (19:24-28), and was visible from Mamre, where Abraham dwelt.                Some, however, contend that the "cities of the plain" were       somewhere at the north of the Dead Sea. (See {SODOM}.)
