Fully developed by 17th-century European theology, the concept of the Court Of Conscience held that one’s conscience would testify for or against one’s actions in life after death. During life, the faculty of conscience was like, but not the same as, the voice of God. It drew on divine knowledge and precepts, and applied these laws in order to direct the individual toward right action and warn against wrong action. After life, the function of conscience was that of a record — animated, if you will — that would speak to a divine tribunal, in judgment for or against you. Even if one’s conscience was or seemed dormant (inactive, flawed, ’seared’, asleep, etc.) during one’s life — as was said to be the case in the worst of villains — it came fully to life with a perfect and true memory of all one’s actions before God.

A DC motor is designed to run on DC electric power.

• The brushed DC motor will generate torque directly from DC power applied to the motor leads, due to its internal commutation.
• Synchronous types, like the brushless DC motor and the stepper motor will lock up on DC power, and require external commutation to generate torque.
• Other types are purely DC and require no commutation.
  • the homopolar motor
  • the ball bearing motor

Very similar to engineer boots, harness boots are a type of motorcycle boot usually worn by motorcycle riders. The boots are most often made of heavy weight leather and range in height from short (10″) to extra high (38″). The most typical height is between 10 and 18 inches. The most common color is black, but brown harness boots are also made.

Harness boots are designed to protect the motorcycle rider from the heat of the exhaust pipes and the engine block and from injury to the foot and leg in the case of an accident while riding and may include a built-in steel toe cap and metal shank in the heel. Whereas engineer boots have a rounded toe, harness boots typically have a square toe. Unlike engineer boots that have an adjustable leather strap across the ankle, harness boots have a non-adjustable system of four leather straps and two metal rings: one strap goes across the top of the foot at the ankle, one strap wraps around the rear of the foot at the ankle and two more straps rise from sole on either side ankle. The four straps are held in place by the two metal rings that are located on either side of the ankle. Typically, these boots possess a pair of pull-straps on either side of the tops of the shafts. Some manufacturers replace these straps with an adjustable leather strap located on the outside top of the shafts, similar to engineer boots. Soles and heels are usually made of hard rubber and may either be relatively flat or may have lugs for increased traction.

Harness boots were originally modeled on the square toed boots prevalent in the 19th century, including those worn by US Civil War soldiers. Leather straps and rings were added to this style in the 1960’s, creating the modern version of the harness boot, which quickly became a classic. Harness boots are a very popular item today and have been worn by movie characters, such as in the film The Terminator. Harness boots are also popular among riders of Harley-Davidson motorcycles. They are quite popular among members of the heavy metal scene as well.

An a-ok (pronounced a o-kay; IPA (General American) ) is both a saying (derived from okay) and a hand-gesture done by connecting the thumb and forefinger in to a circle (the ‘O’) and holding the other fingers straight or relaxed in the air (”The Okay Sign”). While the gesture is positive in some countries, in certain parts of middle and southern Europe (not in Spain or Portugal) the gesture is considered offensive (as in “you are a zero” or “you are nothing”). In some Mediterranean countries, as well as in Brazil, it is even considered to be a vulgar insult (”you are an asshole”). By the same symbolism, it stands for “marica” (faggot) in several South American countries. In American Sign Language it is the letter “F”, or the number “9″, and when made with the thumb and forefinger parallel to the ground, means “asshole”. When the sign is placed over the nose, with the nose protruding through the ‘O’ made by the thumb and forefinger, it means, in most continental European countries, “drunk.”

In Japan it can also mean “0″ or “money.”

The hand signal is also used in underwater diving, to avoid confusion with the thumbs up gesture which means “to ascend”.

Cribbage Square Solitaire (also known as Cribbage Squares is a solitaire card game which can be played using a deck of playing cards. This game works the same way as Poker Square, but cribbage hands are used in this game. Up to seventeen cards can be used in this game.

First, sixteen cards are dealt one at a time in a 4×4 grid, provided that card must touch horizontally, vertically, or diagonally to any of those already in the grid. However, once a card is placed on the grid, it cannot be moved. After these sixteen cards are put into place, a seventeenth card, the starter, is turned face-up.

Points are scored according to how the hands formed horizontally or veritcally are combined with the starter. Horizontally and vertically in this case means that each row and column in the grid is scored as cribbage hand.

Hands are scored like in actual cribbage and the combinations below may occur more than once in just one hand:

• Fifteens - Given that face cards are valued at ten and aces at one, a combination of two or more cards that add up to fifteen are scored two points each “fifteen.”
• Pairs - each pair in a hand is scored two points each pair. A pair royal, or three of a kind, scores six points since three cards of the same rank can form three pairs, while a double pair royal, or four of a kind, scores twelve points since four cards of the same rank can form six pairs.
• Runs - Three or more consecutive cards (regardless of suit) is scored three to five points depending on the number of cards on that run.
• Flush - If the four cards on the hand is of the same suit, it is scored four points, plus an additional point if the starter is of the very same suit as those in the hand.
• His Nobs - A jack in “his nobs,” i.e. one that has the same suit as the starter, scores a point.
  
• His Heels - A jack in “his heels,” i.e. one that is the starter gives two points to the entire tally for the deal.

The object of this game is to reach the highest score possible using the sixteen cards. According to The Complete Book of Solitaire and Patience Games, the player is considered to “win” if the total score is at least 61.
