Word: carded Part of Speech: adj Etymology: From card + -ed. Piecewise doublet of charted. 1. Involving the disentangling of fibers with a carding device. Example: Mr. Whitman holds up the National Association of Wool Manufacturers as the representative of the carded woolen manu- facturers of the United States. Example: In the manufacture of worsted yarn the carded wool must be passed through combing machines until all the fibers lay parallel to each other. 2. Combed. Example: Last year the difference in gain of the uncarded steers over the carded was comparatively large. 3. Straightly aligned, as if combed. Example: There they stretched in a carded drift of fierce white fire, smouldering in the resplendent blue, and consumed by its own intensity. 4. Listed officially on an information card. Example: If it accepts a car as safe and subsequently a wreck occurs, while it cannot evade its responsibility for the wreck by attributing the failure to a carded defect ; if in place of settling for the car it elects to make the repairs , be they light or heavy , it clearly has the right to collect from the owner of the car on so unquestioned a defect as a broken side sill , which is carded for by the owner of the car. Example: Trains Nos. 2 and 4 on time table No. 129 are carded to make the run between Emerson and Sioux City in respectively one hour and five minutes and one hour and ten minutes, and to make stops at all stations as to both trains with the exception of the stations of Ferry and First Street, while the carded time of trains Nos . 10 and 12 between Emerson and Sioux City are respectively one hour and one hour and five minutes . 5. Possessing an official membership card;card-carrying. Example: Tow MH had an operator nicknamed "The man who wasn't carded." He was a fair operator, a good railroad man, good hearted, always wore a smile, worked when others didn't and was always on the job. Be he did not have a card. "Did you ever think this matter over carefully?" asked a carded man. Example: After an initial spurt of energy in which I looked around fervently for employment as a carded construction labourer, I fell into a lethargy and then depression. 6. Signed onto a current season players card. Example: A carded player could not go down and play for the Atom "B" team unless he is first released from the Atom “A” team. Example: In essence, a carded athlete should see training as a full- time occupation, in spite of the fact that carding money, by itself, is not enough to sustain an individual with no family, friends or sponsors to rely on. 7. Having a chipboard or cardboard backing and encased within a shaped plastic bubble. Example: A carded Cheron that is mint in the carded package will keep its value of $200, but if in this example the card and blister are not mint, with, say, the bubble having a crack and the card with some damage, that figure would be valued based on the two-tier pricing at or around $150. Example: A carded action figure is understood to be in mint condition.

Word: pronoia Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Borrowed from Ancient Greek πρόνοιᾰ (prónoiă, “foreknowledge, foresight; providence; form of land grant”), from πρόνοος (prónoos, “careful, prudent”) + -ῐᾰ (-ĭă, suffix forming nouns). πρόνοος is derived from προ- (pro-, prefix indicating a coming forth) + νόος (nóos, “the mind; act of the mind”). The English word is cognate with Latin pronoea (“providence”). The plural form pronoiae is probably a modification of Latin pronoeae, while pronoiai is from Ancient Greek πρόνοιαι (prónoiai). Pronunciation: /pɹəʊˈnɔɪə/, /pɹoʊˈnɔɪə/ 1. Divine providence, foreknowledge, foresight. Labels: countable, uncountable Example: Now Providence (which the Greekes call Pronoia) is an intellectuall knowledge, both fore-ſeeing, caring for, and ordering all things, and doth not onely behold all paſt, all present, and all to come, but is the cauſe of their ſo being, which Preſcience (ſimply taken) is not: and therefore Providence by the Philoſophers (ſaith S. Auguſtine) is divided into Memory, Knowledge, and Care: […] Example: [page 320] 'And make no provision for the flesh.' [Romans 13:14] 'Provision.' [footnote: Προνοια.] The word implies a forecasting of the mind; and the prohibition therefore is against all deliberation or devising of means or expedients for the gratification of our lusts. […] [page 321] He is a confirmed and advanced learner in the school of wickedness, who can thus in his cooler moments bestow care and calculation on such an enterprise, and in short make a study of the likeliest methods for securing to himself te enjoyment of unhallowed pleasures; and this is the pronoia, the unholy providence, if it may be so termed, on which our text lays its interdict. But it is not against all pronoia, all respect to things future, even though the futurities of this life, that the Bible warns us. 2. An imperial grant to an individual of temporary fiscal rights in the form of land, incomes or taxes from land, fishing rights, etc., sometimes carrying with it an obligation of military service. Labels: countable, historical, uncountable Example: Unlike fiefs, pronoiai were granted only by the emperor, and so they played no role in producing the subinfeudation and the hierarchical social and political structure characteristic of Western feudalism. Pronoia was a fiscal and administrative institution; the fief territorial and personal. The grant of a pronoia was primarily a grant of revenue expressed as a monetary sum (the posotes), not in terms of a quantity of property. Example: By 1270 Michael VIII had issued charters to two monasteries in eastern Thessaly near the Gulf of Volos (Makrinitisa and Neopetra), showing he had acquired that region. From these years imperial grants of pronoias and of tax exemptions to various notables of east Thessaly begin appearing. Thus probably in 1267/68 the Byzantines regained some or all of Thessaly's east coast.
Word: pronoia Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From pro- + (para)noia, coined by American sociologist Fred H. Goldner in a paper presented at the annual meeting of the Society for the Study of Social Problems in August 1981. A version of this paper, entitled “Pronoia”, was published in the journal Social Problems in October 1982: see the quotation. Pronunciation: /pɹəʊˈnɔɪə/, /pɹoʊˈnɔɪə/ 1. A belief (sometimes regarded as irrational) that people conspire to do one good. Labels: uncountable Example: Pronoia is the positive counterpart of paranoia. It is the delusion that others think well of one. Actions and the products of one's efforts are thought to be well received and praised by others. Mere acquaintances are thought to be close friends; politeness and the exchange of pleasantries are taken as expressions of deep attachment and the promise of future support. Pronoia appears to be rooted in the social complexity and cultural ambiguity of our lives: we have become increasingly dependent on the opinions of others based on uncertain criteria. Example: "Pronoia" is comparable to paranoia (which is commonly believed to be a mental disease), but is its emotional opposite. The paranoic thinks that everyone and everything are conspiring against him. So-called pronoids see reality as quite positive, and regard themselves as responsible for good things, which they are convinced are going to happen. If paranoia is a mental disorder, then pronoia is a mental disorder. So (apparently) happiness is a mental disorder.
