            markings.
  
      {Test paper}.
            (a) (Chem.) Paper prepared for use in testing for certain
                  substances by being saturated with a reagent which
                  changes color in some specific way when acted upon by
                  those substances; thus, litmus paper is turned red by
                  acids, and blue by alkalies, turmeric paper is turned
                  brown by alkalies, etc.
            (b) (Law) An instrument admitted as a standard or
                  comparison of handwriting in those jurisdictions in

      {Test tube}. (Chem.)
            (a) A simple tube of thin glass, closed at one end, for

      Syn: Criterion; standard; experience; proof; experiment;
               trial.
  
      Usage: {Test}, {Trial}. Trial is the wider term; test is a
                  searching and decisive trial. It is derived from the
                  Latin testa (earthen pot), which term was early
                  applied to the fining pot, or crucible, in which
                  metals are melted for trial and refinement. Hence the
                  peculiar force of the word, as indicating a trial or
                  criterion of the most decisive kind.
  
                           I leave him to your gracious acceptance, whose
                           trial shall better publish his commediation.

                           Thy virtue, prince, has stood the test of
                           fortune, Like purest gold, that tortured in the

                           all its weight.                           --Addison.

   Death \Death\, n. [OE. deth, dea[?], AS. de[a0][?]; akin to OS.
      d[?][?], D. dood, G. tod, Icel. dau[?]i, Sw. & Dan. d[94]d,
      Goth. daupus; from a verb meaning to die. See {Die}, v. i.,
      and cf. {Dead}.]
      1. The cessation of all vital phenomena without capability of
            resuscitation, either in animals or plants.
  
      Note: Local death is going on at times and in all parts of
               the living body, in which individual cells and elements
               are being cast off and replaced by new; a process
               essential to life. General death is of two kinds; death
               of the body as a whole (somatic or systemic death), and
               death of the tissues. By the former is implied the
               absolute cessation of the functions of the brain, the
               circulatory and the respiratory organs; by the latter
               the entire disappearance of the vital actions of the
               ultimate structural constituents of the body. When
               death takes place, the body as a whole dies first, the
               death of the tissues sometimes not occurring until
               after a considerable interval. --Huxley.
  
      2. Total privation or loss; extinction; cessation; as, the

                     To be [?][?][?][?][?][?][?] m[?][?][?][?][?] is
                     death.                                                --Rom. viii.
                                                                              6.
  
      9. Anything so dreadful as to be like death.
  
                     It was death to them to think of entertaining such

                     And urged him, so that his soul was vexed unto

      Note: Death is much used adjectively and as the first part of
               a compound, meaning, in general, of or pertaining to
               death, causing or presaging death; as, deathbed or
               death bed; deathblow or death blow, etc.

      Syn: {Death}, {Decease}, {Demise}, {Departure}, {Release}.
  
      Usage: Death applies to the termination of every form of
                  existence, both animal and vegetable; the other words
                  only to the human race. Decease is the term used in
                  law for the removal of a human being out of life in
                  the ordinary course of nature. Demise was formerly
                  confined to decease of princes, but is now sometimes
                  used of distinguished men in general; as, the demise
                  of Mr. Pitt. Departure and release are peculiarly
                  terms of Christian affection and hope. A violent death
                  is not usually called a decease. Departure implies a
                  friendly taking leave of life. Release implies a
                  deliverance from a life of suffering or sorrow.

            by the intervention of something between the space
            contemplated and the source of light.
  
      Note: Shade differs from shadow as it implies no particular
               form or definite limit; whereas a shadow represents in
               form the object which intercepts the light. When we
               speak of the shade of a tree, we have no reference to

                     degrees, or shades and mixtures, as green only in by
                     the eyes.                                          --Locke.
  
      9. A minute difference or variation, as of thought, belief,
            expression, etc.; also, the quality or degree of anything
            which is distinguished from others similar by slight
            differences; as, the shades of meaning in synonyms.

      akshi. [root]10, 212. Cf. {Diasy}, {Ocular}, {Optic},
      {Eyelet}, {Ogle}.]
      1. The organ of sight or vision. In man, and the vertebrates
            generally, it is properly the movable ball or globe in the

            compound eyes made up of numerous ocelli. See {Ocellus}.
            Description of illustration: a b Conjunctiva; c Cornea; d

      Note: The essential parts of the eye are inclosed in a tough
               outer coat, the sclerotic, to which the muscles moving
               it are attached, and which in front changes into the
               transparent cornea. A little way back of cornea, the
               crystalline lens is suspended, dividing the eye into
               two unequal cavities, a smaller one in front filled
               with a watery fluid, the aqueous humor, and larger one
               behind filled with a clear jelly, the vitreous humor.
               The sclerotic is lined with a highly pigmented
               membrane, the choroid, and this is turn is lined in the
               back half of the eyeball with the nearly transparent
               retina, in which the fibers of the optic nerve ramify.
               The choroid in front is continuous with the iris, which
               has a contractile opening in the center, the pupil,
               admitting light to the lens which brings the rays to a
               focus and forms an image upon the retina, where the
               light, falling upon delicate structures called rods and
               cones, causes them to stimulate the fibres of the optic
               nerve to transmit visual impressions to the brain.
  
      2. The faculty of seeing; power or range of vision; hence,
            judgment or taste in the use of the eye, and in judging of

      {Eyelet}, {Ogle}.]
      1. The organ of sight or vision. In man, and the vertebrates
            generally, it is properly the movable ball or globe in the

            compound eyes made up of numerous ocelli. See {Ocellus}.
            Description of illustration: a b Conjunctiva; c Cornea; d
            Sclerotic; e Choroid; f Cillary Muscle; g Cillary Process;

            spot; q Center of blind spot; r Artery of Retina in center

      Note: The essential parts of the eye are inclosed in a tough
               outer coat, the sclerotic, to which the muscles moving
               it are attached, and which in front changes into the
               transparent cornea. A little way back of cornea, the
               crystalline lens is suspended, dividing the eye into
               two unequal cavities, a smaller one in front filled
               with a watery fluid, the aqueous humor, and larger one
               behind filled with a clear jelly, the vitreous humor.
               The sclerotic is lined with a highly pigmented
               membrane, the choroid, and this is turn is lined in the
               back half of the eyeball with the nearly transparent
               retina, in which the fibers of the optic nerve ramify.
               The choroid in front is continuous with the iris, which
               has a contractile opening in the center, the pupil,
               admitting light to the lens which brings the rays to a
               focus and forms an image upon the retina, where the
               light, falling upon delicate structures called rods and
               cones, causes them to stimulate the fibres of the optic
               nerve to transmit visual impressions to the brain.
  
      2. The faculty of seeing; power or range of vision; hence,
            judgment or taste in the use of the eye, and in judging of

      4. The space commanded by the organ of sight; scope of

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   tagged queueing
  
      A method allowing a device or {controller} to
      process commands received from a {device driver} out of order.
      It requires that the device driver attaches a tag to each
      command which the controller or device can later use to
      identify the response to the command.
  
      Tagged queueing can speed up processing considerably if a
      controller serves devices of very different speeds, such as an
      {SCSI} controller serving a mix of {CD-ROMs} and high-speed
      {disks}.   In such cases if a request to fetch data from the
      CD-ROM is shortly followed by a request to read from the disk,
      the controller doesn't have to wait for the CD-ROM to fetch
      the data, it can instead instruct the disk to fetch the data
      and return the value to the device driver, while the CD-ROM is
      probably still {seeking}.

   Test coverage
  
      A measure of the proportion of a program exercised
      by a {test suite}, usually expressed as a percentage.   This
      will typically involve collecting information about which
      parts of a program are actually executed when running the test
      suite in order to identify which branches of {conditional
      statements} which have been taken.
  
      The most basic level of test coverage is {code coverage
      testing} and the most methodical is {path coverage testing}.
      Some intermediate levels of test coverage exist, but are
      rarely used.
  
      The standard {Unix} tool for measuring test coverage is
      {tcov}, which annotates {C} or {Fortran} source with the
      results of a test coverage analysis.   {GCT} is a {GNU}
      equivalent.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Tekoa, Tekoah
      pitching of tents; fastening down, a town of Judah, about 12
      miles south of Jerusalem, and visible from the city. From this
      place Joab procured a "wise woman," who pretended to be in great
      affliction, and skilfully made her case known to David. Her
      address to the king was in the form of an apologue, similar to
      that of Nathan (2 Sam. 12:1-6). The object of Joab was, by the
      intervention of this woman, to induce David to bring back
      Absalom to Jerusalem (2 Sam. 14:2, 4, 9).
     
         This was also the birth-place of the prophet Amos (1:1).
     
         It is now the village of Teku'a, on the top of a hill among
      ruins, 5 miles south of Bethlehem, and close to Beth-haccerem
      ("Herod's mountain").
