T \T\ (t[emac]),       the twentieth letter of the English alphabet, is a nonvocal       consonant. With the letter h it forms the digraph th, which       has two distinct sounds, as in thin, then.

The letter derives its name and       form from the Latin, the form of the Latin letter being       further derived through the Greek from the Ph[oe]nician. The       ultimate origin is probably Egyptian. It is etymologically       most nearly related to d, s, th; as in tug, duke; two, dual,       L. duo; resin, L. resina, Gr.

Tea \Tea\, n. [Chin. tsh[be], Prov. Chin. te: cf. F. th[82].]       1. The prepared leaves of a shrub, or small tree ({Thea, [or]             Camellia, Chinensis}). The shrub is a native of China, but             has been introduced to some extent into some other             countries.          Note: Teas are classed as green or black, according to their                color or appearance, the kinds being distinguished also                by various other characteristic differences, as of                taste, odor, and the like. The color, flavor, and                quality are dependent upon the treatment which the                leaves receive after being gathered. The leaves for                green tea are heated, or roasted slightly, in shallow                pans over a wood fire, almost immediately after being                gathered, after which they are rolled with the hands                upon a table, to free them from a portion of their                moisture, and to twist them, and are then quickly                dried. Those intended for black tea are spread out in                the air for some time after being gathered, and then                tossed about with the hands until they become soft and                flaccid, when they are roasted for a few minutes, and                rolled, and having then been exposed to the air for a                few hours in a soft and moist state, are finally dried                slowly over a charcoal fire. The operation of roasting                and rolling is sometimes repeated several times, until                the leaves have become of the proper color. The                principal sorts of green tea are Twankay, the poorest                kind; Hyson skin, the refuse of Hyson; Hyson, Imperial,                and Gunpowder, fine varieties; and Young Hyson, a                choice kind made from young leaves gathered early in                the spring. Those of black tea are Bohea, the poorest                kind; Congou; Oolong; Souchong, one of the finest                varieties; and Pekoe, a fine-flavored kind, made                chiefly from young spring buds. See {Bohea}, {Congou},                {Gunpowder tea}, under {Gunpowder}, {Hyson}, {Oolong},                and {Souchong}. --K. Johnson. Tomlinson.          Note: [bd]No knowledge of . . . [tea] appears to have reached                Europe till after the establishment of intercourse                between Portugal and China in 1517. The Portuguese,                however, did little towards the introduction of the                herb into Europe, and it was not till the Dutch                established themselves at Bantam early in 17th century,                that these adventurers learned from the Chinese the                habit of tea drinking, and brought it to Europe.[b8]                --Encyc.

Assert \As*sert"\, v. t.

See {Series}.]       1. To affirm; to declare with assurance, or plainly and             strongly; to state positively; to aver; to asseverate.                         Nothing is more shameful . . . than to assert                      anything to be done without a cause.   --Ray.          2.

To                   assert is to fasten to one's self, and hence to claim.                   It is, therefore, adversative in its nature. We assert                   our rights and privileges, or the cause of tree                   institutions, as against opposition or denial. To                   affirm is to declare as true.

To maintain is to uphold, and                   insist upon with earnestness, whatever we have once                   asserted; as, to maintain one's cause, to maintain an                   argument, to maintain the ground we have taken. To                   vindicate is to use language and measures of the                   strongest kind, in defense of ourselves and those for                   whom we act. We maintain our assertions by adducing                   proofs, facts, or arguments; we are ready to vindicate                   our rights or interests by the utmost exertion of our                   powers.

Recently, and more generally, any official inspection    team or special {firefighting} group called in to look at a problem.          A subset of tiger teams are professional {cracker}s, testing the    security of military computer installations by attempting remote    attacks via networks or supposedly `secure' comm channels.   Some of    their escapades, if declassified, would probably rank among the    greatest hacks of all times.   The term has been adopted in    commercial computer-security circles in this more specific sense.
