  • 3 Tikkun olam

    (Hebrew) Repairing the world.
    The phenomenon "is important in Judaism and is often used to explain the Jewish concept of social justice. In some explanations, the more mitzvot that are performed, the closer the world will be towards perfection. Some Jews believe that acts of tikkun olam will either trigger or fulfill the prophesied coming of the Moshiach (messiah) or messianic age (the World to Come). The belief in tikkun olam is also central to the Zohar ("Book of Splendor"), the most important book in kabbalah" (Wikipedia). Fot some people, the term offers the motivation for involvement in social justice work. It is used to describe efforts as diverse as teaching Torah, volunteering for social service agencies, raising money for Israel, and supporting the creation of a Palestinian state. As a post-biblical term, tikkun olam neither appears in a prophetic book nor constitutes one of the mitzvot. However, as this concept has come to be equated both with a general call to justice, and with specific philanthropic and volunteer activities, the definition of tikkun olam has been merged with those of tzedakah (financial support of the poor), g’milut hasadim (acts of loving kindness), and tzedek (justice).
    So, the four primary definitions of tikkun olam in Jewish history are: the anticipation of the divine kingdom in the Aleynu prayer; the midrashic call to preserve the physical world; the rabbinic desire to sustain the social order; and the Lurianic belief in our power to restore divine perfection. This definition may occupy a space between a limited definition of “ tikkun olam” as relating only to a specific theology or legal process and an expansive definition that equates “ tikkun olam” with any type of social action or social justice work.

  • 4 mohina

    ( mohíno [moíno], term of uncertain origin, perhaps related to moho 'rust,' 'mold,' or 'mildew,' that originally compared an unhappy person to a rusty object or a plant covered with moss or mold. The principal meaning of mohíno in Spanish is 'sad' or 'gloomy.') Carlisle references this term as "animal-like," but no Spanish source gives a similar definition. The quote provided by Carlisle indicates that the term probably refers not to the nature of an animal, but to a color ("Buckskin, black, mohina, grey, r'arin' roan or buckin' bay...")
       The DRAE indicates that this term may apply to a horse or cow with a black hide and face. Cobos gives a similar definition for mojino.

  • 11 wrangler

    ( caballerango [kaßajeráŋgo] < caballo 'horse' < Latin caballum 'pack horse, nag' plus - ero, an agentive suffix, plus - ango, a despec-tive suffix)
        OED: 1888. The hand on a ranch or trail drive who cares for the herd of horses. This position was usually held by a young or inexperienced cowboy. This term appears in English as early as the sixteenth century, but with the very different meaning of 'disputant,' such as for the throne. The OED suggests that the term used in the West is a combination of the English term wrangler and the Spanish caballerango. It is also quite likely that the western term evolved without the influence of the original English term, which cowboys were probably not familiar with. Rather, it is possible that early cowboys heard caballerango and recognized the caballo element. Early variants, caballo rango or even horse rango, would have eventually been shortened to wrango and then wrangler. It is likely that the eventual spelling was influenced by the existing English word. The Royal Academy glosses caballerango as a Mexicanism for a servant on horseback. Santamaría gives a definition more similar to the western meaning. He defines it as the servant who, on a ranch or personal estate, keeps and saddles the horses.
        Alternate forms: caverango, horse-wrangler, wangler, wrangatang, wrango.
        Also called horse pestler, horse rustler, remudero.
       The hand that cares for the remuda, or herd of horses, by day.
       The wrangler who works the early morning shift.
       A cowboy who cares for horses, leads rides for guests, and perform other chores on a dude ranch.
       A boy employed for chores on a ranch.
       According to Adams, a common term for a lawyer.

  • 19 Information Processing

       The term "information processing" originated in the late fifties in the computer field as a general descriptive term that seemed somewhat less contingent and parochial than "computer science," which also came into use during the same period. Thus, it was the name of choice for two of the encompassing professional organizations formed at the time: the In ternational Federation of Information Processing Societies and the American Federation of Information Processing Societies. Although the transfer of the phrase from activities of computers to parallel activities of human beings undoubtedly occurred independently in a number of heads, the term was originally identified pretty closely with computer simulation of cognitive processes... ; that is, with the kind of effort from which arose the theory in this book. (Newell & Simon, 1972, p. 888)
       It was because the activities of the computer itself seemed in some ways akin to cognitive processes. Computers accept information, manipulate symbols, store items in "memory" and retrieve them again, classify inputs, recognize patterns and so on.... Indeed the assumptions that underlie most contemporary work on information processing are surprisingly like those of nineteenth century introspective psychology, though without introspection itself. (Neisser, 1976, pp. 5, 7)
       The processor was assumed to be rational, and attention was directed to the logical nature of problem solving strategies. The "mature western mind" was presumed to be one that, in abstracting knowledge from the idosyncracies of particular everyday experience, employed Aristotelian laws of logic. When applied to categories, this meant that to know a category was to have an abstracted clear-cut, necessary, and sufficient criteria for category membership. If other thought processes, such as imagery, ostensive definition, reasoning by analogy to particular instances, or the use of metaphors were considered at all, they were usually relegated to lesser beings such as women, children, primitive people, or even to nonhumans. (Rosch & Lloyd, 1978, p. 2)

  • 20 cantina

    (Sp. model spelled same [kantína] < Italian cantina 'wine cellar, wine shop')
       1) Watts: 1875. In the Southwest, especially Texas, a saloon or tavern; a Mexican wineshop.
       2) According to Watts, "a pocket of a mochila." Blevins notes that the Pony Express used mochilas with pockets, or cantinas, to carry mail.
       3) Southwest: 1844. A saddlebag or other container hung from the saddle. Blevins references cantina as "a leather box packed by a mule."
        Alternate form: cantiness.
       4) Watts: 1942. A receptacle used to heat liquids; a coffeepot. This definition is similar to the English canteen, a tin or wooden container used to hold water or liquor used by travelers, soldiers, or workmen. It is unknown whether this meaning derives from Spanish or whether the Spanish term has been extended to be synonymous with canteen. The DRAE gives several definitions for cantina, among them a shop where liquor and other provisions are sold; a box made of wood, metal, or cork and covered with leather and divided into various compartments for carrying food; and (especially in Mexico) two squarish leather bags with lids that are hung from either side of a saddletree, similar to the more antiquated alforjas. They are used for carrying foodstuffs. Islas and Santamaría concur with the definitions in the DRAE, with a few exceptions. Islas indicates that the bags may be round or square, they hang from the cantle rather than the saddletree, and they are used to carry all sorts of provisions for the rider, not just food. He also mentions that the term is generally used in the plural. Santamaría notes that the cantinas have replaced the older alforjas, árganas (wicker baskets used as packsad-dles), and cojinillos (another name for saddlebags, these were generally bags or small wicker baskets). Cobos states that in New Mexico and Colorado a cantina can be either a bar or tavern or a large wallet or leather box. None of the Spanish sources consulted concurred with senses (2) and (4). Perhaps (2) is an extension of (3), and (4) did not come from Spanish but was later used as an alternate term for the English canteen.
