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.

Gold \Gold\ (g[omac]ld), n. [AS. gold; akin to D. goud, OS. & G.       gold, Icel. gull, Sw. & Dan. guld, Goth. gul[thorn], Russ. &       OSlav. zlato; prob. akin to E. yellow. [root]49, 234. See       {Yellow}, and cf. {Gild}, v. t.]       1. (Chem.) A metallic element, constituting the most precious             metal used as a common commercial medium of exchange. It             has a characteristic yellow color, is one of the heaviest             substances known (specific gravity 19.32), is soft, and             very malleable and ductile. It is quite unalterable by             heat, moisture, and most corrosive agents, and therefore             well suited for its use in coin and jewelry. Symbol Au             (Aurum). Atomic weight 196.7.          Note: Native gold contains usually eight to ten per cent of                silver, but often much more. As the amount of silver                increases, the color becomes whiter and the specific                gravity lower. Gold is very widely disseminated, as in                the sands of many rivers, but in very small quantity.                It usually occurs in quartz veins (gold quartz), in                slate and metamorphic rocks, or in sand and alluvial                soil, resulting from the disintegration of such rocks.                It also occurs associated with other metallic                substances, as in auriferous pyrites, and is combined                with tellurium in the minerals petzite, calaverite,                sylvanite, etc. Pure gold is too soft for ordinary use,                and is hardened by alloying with silver and copper, the                latter giving a characteristic reddish tinge. [See                {Carat}.] Gold also finds use in gold foil, in the                pigment purple of Cassius, and in the chloride, which                is used as a toning agent in photography.          2.

Exports feature shipments of high-grade wool to the UK and the    sale of postage stamps and coins. Rich stocks of fish in the    surrounding waters are not presently exploited by the islanders. So    far, efforts to establish a domestic fishing industry have been    unsuccessful. The economy has diversified since 1987 when the    government began selling fishing licenses to foreign trawlers    operating within the Falklands exclusive fishing zone. These license    fees total more than $40 million per year and support the island's    health, education, and welfare system. To encourage tourism, the    Falkland Islands Development Corporation has built three lodges for    visitors attracted by the abundant wildlife and trout fishing. The    islands are now self-financing except for defense. The British    Geological Survey announced a 200-mile oil exploration zone around the    islands in 1993 and early seismic surveys suggest substantial reserves    capable of producing 500,000 barrels per day.       National product: GDP $NA       National product real growth rate: NA%       National product per capita: $NA       Inflation rate (consumer prices): 7.4% (1980-87 average)       Unemployment rate: NA%; labor shortage       Budget:    revenues: $65 million    expenditures: $55.2 million, including capital expenditures of $NA    (1992-93)       Exports: at least $14.7 million    commodities: wool, hides and skins, and meat    partners: UK, Netherlands, Japan (1987 est.)       Imports: at least $13.9 million    commodities: food, clothing, timber, and machinery    partners: UK, Netherlands Antilles (Curacao), Japan (1987 est.)       External debt: $NA       Industrial production: growth rate NA%       Electricity:    capacity: 9,200 kW    production: 17 million kWh    consumption per capita: 7,253 kWh (1993)       Industries: wool and fish processing       Agriculture: predominantly sheep farming; small dairy herds; some    fodder and vegetable crops       Economic aid:    recipient: Western (non-US) countries, ODA and OOF bilateral    commitments (1992-93), $87 million       Currency: 1 Falkland pound (#F) = 100 pence       Exchange rates: Falkland pound (#F) per US$1 - 0.6350 (January 1995),    0.6529 (1994), 0.6658 (1993), 0.5664 (1992), 0.5652 (1991), 0.5604    (1990); note - the Falkland pound is at par with the British pound       Fiscal year: 1 April - 31 March       Falkland Islands (islas Malvinas):Transportation       Railroads: 0 km       Highways:    total: 510 km    paved: 30 km    unpaved: gravel 80 km; unimproved earth 400 km       Ports: Stanley       Merchant marine: none       Airports:    total: 5    with paved runways 2,438 to 3,047 m: 1    with paved runways under 914 m: 4       Falkland Islands (islas Malvinas):Communications       Telephone system: 590 telephones    local: NA    intercity: government-operated radiotelephone and private VHF/CB radio    networks provide effective service to almost all points on both    islands    international: 1 INTELSAT (Atlantic Ocean) earth station with links    through London to other countries       Radio:    broadcast stations: AM 2, FM 3, shortwave 0    radios: NA       Television:    broadcast stations: 0    televisions: NA       Falkland Islands (islas Malvinas):Defense Forces       Branches: British Forces Falkland Islands (includes Army, Royal Air    Force, Royal Navy, and Royal Marines), Police Force       Defense expenditures: $NA, NA% of GDP       Note: defense is the responsibility of the UK
