{At last}, at the end of a certain period; after delay.             [bd]The duke of Savoy felt that the time had at last             arrived.[b8] --Motley.          {At the last}. [Prob. fr.

At length implies that a long                   period was spent in so doing; as, after a voyage of                   more than three months, we at Length arrived safe. At                   last commonly implies that something has occurred (as                   interruptions, disappointments, etc.) which leads us                   to emphasize the idea of having reached the end; as,                   in spite of every obstacle, we have at last arrived.

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 brightness of the eye or eyes.                         He seemed to find his way without his eyes; For out                      o' door he went without their helps, And, to the                      last, bended their light on me.         --Shak.          5. 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.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Luster \Lus"ter\, Lustre \Lus"tre\, n. [F. lustre; cf. It.       lustro; both fr. L. lustrare to purify, go about (like the       priests at the lustral sacrifice), traverse, survey,       illuminate, fr. lustrum a purificatory sacrifice; perh. akin       to E. loose. But lustrare to illuminate is perh. a different       word, and akin to L. lucere to be light or clear, to shine.       See {Lucid}, and cf. {Illustrious}, {Lustrum}.]       1. Brilliancy; splendor; brightness; glitter.                         The right mark and very true luster of the diamond.                                                                               --Sir T. More.                         The scorching sun was mounted high, In all its                      luster, to the noonday sky.               --Addison.          Note: There is a tendency to limit the use of luster, in this                sense, to the brightness of things which do not shine                with their own light, or at least do not blaze or glow                with heat. One speaks of the luster of a diamond, or of                silk, or even of the stars, but not often now of the                luster of the sun, a coal of fire, or the like.          2.

A candlestick, chandelier, girandole, or the like,             generally of an ornamental character. --Pope.          4. (Min.) The appearance of the surface of a mineral as             affected by, or dependent upon, peculiarities of its             reflecting qualities.          Note: The principal kinds of luster recognized are: metallic,                adamantine, vitreous, resinous, greasy, pearly, and                silky. With respect to intensity, luster is                characterized as splendent, shining, glistening,                glimmering, and dull.          5. A substance which imparts luster to a surface, as plumbago             and some of the glazes.          6. A fabric of wool and cotton with a lustrous surface, --             used for women's dresses.          {Luster ware}, earthenware decorated by applying to the             glazing metallic oxides, which acquire brilliancy in the             process of baking.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
least recently used          (operating systems) (LRU) A rule used in a {paging} system       which selects a page to be {paged out} if it has been used       (read or written) less recently than any other page.   The same       rule may also be used in a {cache} to select which cache entry       to {flush}.          This rule is based on {temporal locality} - the observation       that, in general, the page (or cache entry) which has not been       accessed for longest is least likely to be accessed in the       near future.          (1995-02-15)

LUSTRE          (A French acronym for Synchronous real-time Lucid).   Real-time       dataflow language for synchronous systems, especially       automatic control and signal processing.   A {Lucid} subset,       plus timing operators and user-defined clocks.          Designed for automatic control applications.   It is based on       the idea that automatic control engineers use to analyse, and       specify their systems in terms of functions over sequences       (sampled signals).   It thus seems both safe and cost effective       to try to compile directly those descriptions into executable       code.   A lot of work has been done, so as to get efficient       compilation, and also in formal verification.   The language       has been used in nuclear plant control, and will be used in       aircraft control.          ["Outline of a Real-Time Data-Flow Language", J.-L.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Lystra       a town of Lycaonia, in Asia Minor, in a wild district and among       a rude population. Here Paul preached the gospel after he had       been driven by persecution from Iconium (Acts 14:2-7). Here also       he healed a lame man (8), and thus so impressed the ignorant and       superstitious people that they took him for Mercury, because he       was the "chief speaker," and his companion Barnabas for Jupiter,       probably in consequence of his stately, venerable appearance;       and were proceeding to offer sacrifices to them (13), when Paul       earnestly addressed them and turned their attention to the true       source of all blessings. But soon after, through the influence       of the Jews from Antioch in Pisidia and Iconium, they stoned       Paul and left him for dead (14:19). On recovering, Paul left for       Derbe; but soon returned again, through Lystra, encouraging the       disciples there to steadfastness. He in all likelihood visited       this city again on his third missionary tour (Acts 18:23).       Timothy, who was probably born here (2 Tim. 3:10, 11), was no       doubt one of those who were on this occasion witnesses of Paul's       persecution and his courage in Lystra.
