Bible | Soap (Jer. 2:22; Mal. 3:2; Heb. borith), properly a vegetable alkali, obtained from the ashes of certain plants, particularly the salsola kali (saltwort), which abounds on the shores of the Dead Sea and of the Mediterranean. It does not appear that the Hebrews were acquainted with what is now called "soap," which is a compound of alkaline carbonates with oleaginous matter. The word "purely" in Isa. 1:25 (R.V., "throughly;" marg., "as with lye") is lit. "as with _bor_." This word means "clearness," and hence also that which makes clear, or pure, alkali. "The ancients made use of alkali mingled with oil, instead of soap (Job 9:30), and also in smelting metals, to make them melt and flow more readily and purely" (Gesenius).

SOAP (formerly an acronym of Simple Object Access Protocol) is a light-weight protocol for exchanging messages between computer software, typically in the form of software components. The word object implies that the use should adhere the object-oriented programming programming paradigm.SOAP is an extensible and decentralized framework that can work over multiple computer network protocol stacks. Remote procedure calls can be modeled as an interaction of several SOAP messages. SOAP is one of the enabling protocols for Web services.
SOAP can be run on top of all the Internet Protocols, but HTTP is the most common and the only one standardized by the W3C. SOAP is based on XML, and its design follows the "Head-Body" Pattern, not unlike HTML. The head contains meta-information like information for routing, security and transactions. The body transports the main information.

simple:soapSoap and detergent are substances for cleaning. They come in bars, powder and liquid form.
Soaps are mixtures of sodium or potassium salts of fatty acids which can be derived from oils or fats by reacting them with an alkali (like sodium or potassium hydroxide) at 80°-100 °C in the process known as saponification. Hydrolysis of the fats and oils occurs, yielding glycerol and crude soap.
CH2-OOC-R - CH-OOC-R - CH2-OOC-R (fat)
+ 3 NaOH ( or KOH)
both heated --->>
CH2-OH -CH-OH - CH2-OH (glycerol)
+ 3 R-CO2-Na (soap)
R=(CH2)14CH3
Before commercially produced lye was common place, lye was produced at home for soap making from the ashes of a wood fire.
Sodium chloride is added to precipitate the soap.
Purification and ending
Reaction contains sodium chloride, sodium hydroxide, and glycerol. These impurities are removed by boiling the crude soap curds in water and re-precipitating the soap with salt.
Sand or pumice may be added to produce a scouring soap.
Use
Although the soap term continues to be used informally in everyday speech and product labels, in practice nearly all kinds of "soap" in use today are actually detergents, which are less expensive, more effective, and easier to manufacture.
Soaps are useful and used primarily for cleansing because soap molecules attach readily to both nonpolar molecules (such as grease or oil) and polar molecules (such as water). Although grease will normally adhere to skin or clothing, the soap molecules can attach to it as a "handle" and make it easier to rinse away.
CH3-(CH2)n - COONa
- (water soluble end)
(fatty part)
The hydrocarbon ("fatty") portion dissolves dirt and oils, while the ionic end makes it soluble in water. Thus, it allows water to remove normally-insoluble matter.
The ancient world was generally innocent of soap; the Romans built baths, but did not often use soap in them. According to Pliny the Elder, soap was invented by the ancient Gauls. They did not use it for washing, though; they used it as a pomade to keep their hair shiny.
Historically, soap was often made in the home by mixing animal fats with lye. Because of the caustic lye, this was a dangerous procedure (perhaps more dangerous than any present-day home activities) which occasionally resulted in serious chemical burns or blindness.
Before commercially produced lye was common place, lye was produced at home for soap making from the ashes of a wood fire.
One can play with soap by making soap bubbles that float in the air.

Soap was a sitcom which ran on the ABC network from 1977 through 1981. The show was designed as a weekly, nighttime half hour comedy whose format was similar to that of a soap opera. The show was controversial for its time, as it included the first homosexual character who starred in a prime-time network television series in the United States. The gay character, Jodie Dallas, was played by actor Billy Crystal. Many stations refused to air the series because of this character.The program centered around two sisters, Jessica Tate and Mary Campbell. The Tate family were wealthy, and employed a sarcastic butler, Benson, played by Robert Guillaume (the character of Benson was spun off into his own series, Benson, in 1979.) Jessica and her husband, Chester, were hardly models of fidelity, as their various love affairs resulted in several family mishaps, including the murder of Mary's stepson, Peter (Robert Urich), in the early days of the show. Mary's family, the Campbells, were more middle-class, but had the problem that Mary's son Danny Dallas was a junior gangster in training.
Other plot lines involved Jessica's daughter's love affair with a priest (another controversial subject which caused many stations to refuse to air the show); Mary's stepson Chuck, a ventriloquist whose alter ego was his dummy Bob, who voiced all of the negative comments that Chuck was too repressed to say; Jessica's love affair with a Latin American revolutionary; and Mary's husband Burt being replaced by an alien look-alike.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
A soap opera or daytime serial is an ongoing, episodic work of fiction, usually broadcast on television or radio. What differentiates a soap from other television drama programs is their open-ended nature. Plots run concurrently, and lead into further developments: there is rarely a need to "wrap things up", although soaps that run in series for only part of the year tend to bring things to a dramatic cliffhanger. The soap opera form first developed on broadcast radio in the 1920s, and expanded into television starting in the 1940s.
The USA soap opera Port Charles has begun the practice of running 13-week "arcs", in which the main events of the arc are played out and wrapped up over the 13 weeks, although some storylines do continue over more than one arc.
Most soaps follow the lives of a group of characters who live or work in a particular place.
The term "soap opera" originated from the fact that when these serial dramas were aired on daytime radio, the commercials aired during the shows were largely aimed at housewives (this was during the first half of the 20th century, when married women were expected to stay home and raise the children). Many of the products sold during these commercials were laundry and cleaning items. This specific type of radio drama came to be associated with these particular commercials, and this gave rise to the term "soap opera"—a melodramatic story that aired commercials for soap products.
Prime time serials were especially popular during the 1980s. The most successful included: Dallas; Dynasty; Knots Landing; and, from the 1990s, Beverly Hills 90210. The first real prime time soap opera was Peyton Place (1964-1969).
A few soap opera spoofs have been made. Two of the most famous U.S. spoofs were Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman and Soap. On British television, comedian Victoria Wood a long-running spoof soap entitled Acorn Antiques features on her sketch show (loosely based on ITV's Crossroads). In the United States, Carol Burnett frequently ran a soap opera spoof on her show, called \As the Stomach Turns.
The soap opera's distinctive open plot structure and complex continuity was eventually adopted in major American prime time television programs. The first significant one was Hill Street Blues produced by Steven Bochco which featured many elements borrowed by soap operas such as an ensemble cast, multi-episode storylines and extensive character development over the course of the series. The success of this series soon gave rise to a variety of other serious drama and science fiction series which took much the same elements to structure their own storylines.
The BBC continues to broadcast one of the earlier radio "soap opera" programmes in Britain, the ever popular "Archers", on Radio 4. It has been running since 1951 nationally. It continues to attract over five million listeners, or roughly 25% of the radio listening population of the UK at that time of the evening.
The American soap opera The Guiding Light started as a radio drama in January 1937. With the exception of several years in the late 1940s when Irna Phillips was in dispute with Procter and Gamble, The Guiding Light has been heard or seen every weekday since, making it the longest story ever told.
