[root]122. Cf. {Lucid},       {Lunar}, {Luminous}, {Lynx}.]       1. That agent, force, or action in nature by the operation of             which upon the organs of sight, objects are rendered             visible or luminous.          Note: Light was regarded formerly as consisting of material                particles, or corpuscules, sent off in all directions                from luminous bodies, and traversing space, in right                lines, with the known velocity of about 186,300 miles                per second; but it is now generally understood to                consist, not in any actual transmission of particles or                substance, but in the propagation of vibrations or                undulations in a subtile, elastic medium, or ether,                assumed to pervade all space, and to be thus set in                vibratory motion by the action of luminous bodies, as                the atmosphere is by sonorous bodies. This view of the                nature of light is known as the undulatory or wave                theory; the other, advocated by Newton (but long since                abandoned), as the corpuscular, emission, or Newtonian                theory. A more recent theory makes light to consist in                electrical oscillations, and is known as the                electro-magnetic theory of light.          2. That which furnishes, or is a source of, light, as the             sun, a star, a candle, a lighthouse, etc.                         Then he called for a light, and sprang in. --Acts                                                                               xvi. 29.                         And God made two great lights; the greater light to                      rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the                      night.                                                --Gen. i. 16.          3.

The medium through which light is admitted, as a window,             or window pane; a skylight; in architecture, one of the             compartments of a window made by a mullion or mullions.                         There were windows in three rows, and light was                      against light in three ranks.            --I Kings                                                                               vii.4.          6.

Light \Light\ (l[imac]t), n. [OE. light, liht, AS. le[a2]ht;       akin to OS. lioht, D. & G. licht, OHG. lioht, Goth.       liuha[thorn], Icel. lj[omac]s, L. lux light, lucere to shine,       Gr. leyko`s white, Skr. ruc to shine. [root]122. Cf. {Lucid},       {Lunar}, {Luminous}, {Lynx}.]       1. That agent, force, or action in nature by the operation of             which upon the organs of sight, objects are rendered             visible or luminous.          Note: Light was regarded formerly as consisting of material                particles, or corpuscules, sent off in all directions                from luminous bodies, and traversing space, in right                lines, with the known velocity of about 186,300 miles                per second; but it is now generally understood to                consist, not in any actual transmission of particles or                substance, but in the propagation of vibrations or                undulations in a subtile, elastic medium, or ether,                assumed to pervade all space, and to be thus set in                vibratory motion by the action of luminous bodies, as                the atmosphere is by sonorous bodies. This view of the                nature of light is known as the undulatory or wave                theory; the other, advocated by Newton (but long since                abandoned), as the corpuscular, emission, or Newtonian                theory. A more recent theory makes light to consist in                electrical oscillations, and is known as the                electro-magnetic theory of light.          2.

The medium through which light is admitted, as a window,             or window pane; a skylight; in architecture, one of the             compartments of a window made by a mullion or mullions.                         There were windows in three rows, and light was                      against light in three ranks.            --I Kings                                                                               vii.4.          6.

Light \Light\ (l[imac]t), n. [OE. light, liht, AS. le[a2]ht;       akin to OS. lioht, D. & G. licht, OHG. lioht, Goth.       liuha[thorn], Icel. lj[omac]s, L. lux light, lucere to shine,       Gr. leyko`s white, Skr. ruc to shine. [root]122. Cf. {Lucid},       {Lunar}, {Luminous}, {Lynx}.]       1. That agent, force, or action in nature by the operation of             which upon the organs of sight, objects are rendered             visible or luminous.          Note: Light was regarded formerly as consisting of material                particles, or corpuscules, sent off in all directions                from luminous bodies, and traversing space, in right                lines, with the known velocity of about 186,300 miles                per second; but it is now generally understood to                consist, not in any actual transmission of particles or                substance, but in the propagation of vibrations or                undulations in a subtile, elastic medium, or ether,                assumed to pervade all space, and to be thus set in                vibratory motion by the action of luminous bodies, as                the atmosphere is by sonorous bodies. This view of the                nature of light is known as the undulatory or wave                theory; the other, advocated by Newton (but long since                abandoned), as the corpuscular, emission, or Newtonian                theory. A more recent theory makes light to consist in                electrical oscillations, and is known as the                electro-magnetic theory of light.          2.

The medium through which light is admitted, as a window,             or window pane; a skylight; in architecture, one of the             compartments of a window made by a mullion or mullions.                         There were windows in three rows, and light was                      against light in three ranks.            --I Kings                                                                               vii.4.          6.

list          A data structure holding many values, possibly of       different types, which is usually accessed sequentially,       working from the head to the end of the tail - an "ordered       list".   This contrasts with a (one-dimensional) {array}, any       element of which can be accessed equally quickly.          Lists are often stored using a cell and pointer arrangement       where each value is stored in a cell along with an associated       pointer to the next cell.   A special pointer, e.g. zero, marks       the end of the list.   This is known as a (singlely) "linked       list".   A doublely linked list has pointers from each cell to       both next and previous cells.          An unordered list is a {set}.          (1998-11-12)

A family of dataflow languages descended from {ISWIM},       {lazy} but {first-order}.          Ashcroft & Wadge , 1981.          They use a dynamic {demand driven} model.   Statements are       regarded as equations defining a network of processors and       communication lines, through which the data flows.   Every data       object is thought of as an infinite {stream} of simple values,       every function as a {filter}.   Lucid has no {data       constructor}s such as {array}s or {record}s.   {Iteration} is       simulated with 'is current' and 'fby' (concatenation of       sequences).   Higher-order functions are implemented using pure       dataflow and no closures or heaps.          ["Lucid: The Dataflow Language" by Bill Wadge       and Ed Ashcroft, c. 1985].   ["Lucid, the       Dataflow Programming Language", W.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Light       the offspring of the divine command (Gen. 1:3). "All the more       joyous emotions of the mind, all the pleasing sensations of the       frame, all the happy hours of domestic intercourse were       habitually described among the Hebrews under imagery derived       from light" (1 Kings 11:36; Isa. 58:8; Esther 8:16; Ps. 97:11).       Light came also naturally to typify true religion and the       felicity it imparts (Ps. 119:105; Isa. 8:20; Matt. 4:16, etc.),       and the glorious inheritance of the redeemed (Col. 1:12; Rev.       21:23-25). God is said to dwell in light inaccessible (1 Tim.       6:16). It frequently signifies instruction (Matt. 5:16; John       5:35). In its highest sense it is applied to Christ as the "Sun       of righteousness" (Mal. 4:2; Luke 2:32; John 1:7-9). God is       styled "the Father of lights" (James 1:17). It is used of angels       (2 Cor. 11:14), and of John the Baptist, who was a "burning and       a shining light" (John 5:35), and of all true disciples, who are       styled "the light of the world" (Matt. 5:14).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Lust       sinful longing; the inward sin which leads to the falling away       from God (Rom. 1:21). "Lust, the origin of sin, has its place in       the heart, not of necessity, but because it is the centre of all       moral forces and impulses and of spiritual activity." In Mark       4:19 "lusts" are objects of desire.

Its economy is based on    agriculture, light manufacturing, and remittances from laborers    employed in South Africa (these remittances supplement domestic income    by as much as 45%). The great majority of households gain their    livelihoods from subsistence farming and migrant labor; a large    portion of the adult male work force is employed in South African    mines. Manufacturing depends largely on farm products to support the    milling, canning, leather, and jute industries; other industries    include textile, clothing, and construction. Although drought has    decreased agricultural activity over the past few years, improvement    of a major hydropower facility will permit the sale of water to South    Africa and allow Lesotho's economy to continue its moderate growth.       National product: GDP - purchasing power parity - $2.6 billion (1994    est.)       National product real growth rate: 6% (1994 est.)       National product per capita: $1,340 (1994 est.)       Inflation rate (consumer prices): 13.9% (1993)       Unemployment rate: substantial unemployment and underemployment       Budget:    revenues: $438 million    expenditures: $430 million, including capital expenditures of $155    million (FY93/94 est.)       Exports: $109 million (f.o.b., 1992)    commodities: wool, mohair, wheat, cattle, peas, beans, corn, hides,    skins, baskets    partners: South Africa 42%, EC 28%, North and South America 25% (1991)       Imports: $964 million (c.i.f., 1992)    commodities: mainly corn, building materials, clothing, vehicles,    machinery, medicines, petroleum    partners: South Africa 94%, Asia 3%, EC 1% (1991)       External debt: $512 million (1993)       Industrial production: growth rate 10%; accounts for 17% of GDP (1993    est.)       Electricity: power supplied by South Africa       Industries: food, beverages, textiles, handicrafts, tourism       Agriculture: accounts for 50% of GDP (1993 est.); exceedingly    primitive, mostly subsistence farming and livestock; principal crops    corn, wheat, pulses, sorghum, barley       Economic aid:    recipient: US commitments, including Ex-Im (FY70-89), $268 million; US    (1992), $10.3 million; US (1993 est.), $10.1 million; Western (non-US)    countries, ODA and OOF bilateral commitments (1970-89), $819 million;    OPEC bilateral aid (1979-89), $4 million; Communist countries    (1970-89), $14 million       Currency: 1 loti (L) = 100 lisente       Exchange rates: maloti (M) per US$1 - 3.5389 (January 1995), 3.5490    (1994), 3.2636 (1993), 2.8497 (1992), 2.7563 (1991), 2.5863 (1990);    note - the Basotho loti is at par with the South African rand       Fiscal year: 1 April - 31 March       Lesotho:Transportation       Railroads:    total: 2.6 km; note - owned by, operated by, and included in the    statistics of South Africa    narrow gauge: 2.6 km 1.067-m gauge       Highways:    total: 7,215 km    paved: 572 km    unpaved: gravel, stabilized earth 2,337 km; improved earth 1,806 km;    unimproved earth 2,500 km (1988)       Ports: none       Airports:    total: 29    with paved runways over 3,047 m: 1    with paved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 1    with paved runways under 914 m: 23    with unpaved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 4       Lesotho:Communications       Telephone system: 5,920 telephones; rudimentary system    local: NA    intercity: consists of a few land lines, a small microwave radio relay    system, and a minor radio communication system    international: 1 INTELSAT (Atlantic Ocean) earth station       Radio:    broadcast stations: AM 3, FM 4, shortwave 0    radios: NA       Television:    broadcast stations: 1    televisions: NA       Lesotho:Defense Forces       Branches: Lesotho Defense Force (LDF; includes Army and Air Wing),    Lesotho Mounted Police       Manpower availability: males age 15-49 453,844; males fit for military    service 244,767 (1995 est.)       Defense expenditures: exchange rate conversion - $25 million, NA% of    GDP (1994)
