See {Gerund}, 2. [bd] Your                elegant house in Harley Street is to let.[b8]                --Thackeray.

load          1. To copy {data} (often {program} {code} to be {run}) into       {memory}, possibly {parsing} it somehow in the process.       E.g. "{WordPerfect} can't load this {RTF} file - are you sure       it didn't get corrupted in the {download}?"   Opposite of       {save}.          2. The degree to which a computer, {network}, or other       resource is used, sometimes expressed as a percentage of the       maximum available.   E.g. "What kind of CPU load does that       program give?", "The network's constantly running at 100%       load".   Sometimes used, by extension, to mean "to increase the       level of use of a resource".   E.g. "Loading a spreadsheet       really loads the CPU".   See also: {load balancing}.          3. To {install} a piece of {software} onto a system.       E.g. "The computer guy is gonna come load Excel on my laptop       for me".   This usage is widely considered to be incorrect.          (2002-07-02)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Lot       (Heb. goral, a "pebble"), a small stone used in casting lots       (Num. 33:54; Jonah 1:7). The lot was always resorted to by the       Hebrews with strictest reference to the interposition of God,       and as a method of ascertaining the divine will (Prov. 16:33),       and in serious cases of doubt (Esther 3:7). Thus the lot was       used at the division of the land of Canaan among the serveral       tribes (Num. 26:55; 34:13), at the detection of Achan (Josh.       7:14, 18), the election of Saul to be king (1 Sam. 10:20, 21),       the distribution of the priestly offices of the temple service       (1 Chr. 24:3, 5, 19; Luke 1:9), and over the two goats at the       feast of Atonement (Lev. 16:8). Matthias, who was "numbered with       the eleven" (Acts 1:24-26), was chosen by lot.                This word also denotes a portion or an inheritance (Josh.       15:1; Ps. 125:3; Isa. 17:4), and a destiny, as assigned by God       (Ps. 16:5; Dan. 12:13).                Lot, (Heb. lot), a covering; veil, the son of Haran, and       nephew of Abraham (Gen. 11:27). On the death of his father, he       was left in charge of his grandfather Terah (31), after whose       death he accompanied his uncle Abraham into Canaan (12:5),       thence into Egypt (10), and back again to Canaan (13:1). After       this he separated from him and settled in Sodom (13:5-13). There       his righteous soul was "vexed" from day to day (2 Pet. 2:7), and       he had great cause to regret this act. Not many years after the       separation he was taken captive by Chedorlaomer, and was rescued       by Abraham (Gen. 14). At length, when the judgment of God       descended on the guilty cities of the plain (Gen. 19:1-20), Lot       was miraculously delivered. When fleeing from the doomed city       his wife "looked back from behind him, and became a pillar of       salt." There is to this day a peculiar crag at the south end of       the Dead Sea, near Kumran, which the Arabs call Bint Sheik Lot,       i.e., Lot's wife. It is "a tall, isolated needle of rock, which       really does bear a curious resemblance to an Arab woman with a       child upon her shoulder." From the words of warning in Luke       17:32, "Remember Lot's wife," it would seem as if she had gone       back, or tarried so long behind in the desire to save some of       her goods, that she became involved in the destruction which       fell on the city, and became a stiffened corpse, fixed for a       time in the saline incrustations. She became "a pillar of salt",       i.e., as some think, of asphalt. (See {SALT}.)                Lot and his daughters sought refuge first in Zoar, and then,       fearing to remain there longer, retired to a cave in the       neighbouring mountains (Gen. 19:30). Lot has recently been       connected with the people called on the Egyptian monuments       Rotanu or Lotanu, who is supposed to have been the hero of the       Edomite tribe Lotan.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Lud       (1.) The fourth son of Shem (Gen. 10:22; 1 Chr. 1:17), ancestor       of the Lydians probably.                (2.) One of the Hamitic tribes descended from Mizraim (Gen.       10:13), a people of Africa (Ezek. 27:10; 30:5), on the west of       Egypt. The people called Lud were noted archers (Isa. 66:19;       comp. Jer. 46:9).

Lydda       a town in the tribe of Ephraim, mentioned only in the New       Testament (Acts 9:32, 35, 38) as the scene of Peter's miracle in       healing the paralytic AEneas. It lay about 9 miles east of       Joppa, on the road from the sea-port to Jerusalem. In the Old       Testament (1 Chr. 8:12) it is called Lod. It was burned by the       Romans, but was afterwards rebuilt, and was known by the name of       Diospolis. Its modern name is Ludd. The so-called patron saint       of England, St. George, is said to have been born here.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Lydia       (1.) Ezek. 30:5 (Heb. Lud), a province in the west of Asia       Minor, which derived its name from the fourth son of Shem (Gen.       10:22). It was bounded on the east by the greater Phrygia, and       on the west by Ionia and the AEgean Sea.                (2.) A woman of Thyatira, a "seller of purple," who dwelt in       Philippi (Acts 16:14, 15). She was not a Jewess but a proselyte.       The Lord opened her heart as she heard the gospel from the lips       of Paul (16:13). She thus became the first in Europe who       embraced Christianity. She was a person apparently of       considerable wealth, for she could afford to give a home to Paul       and his companions. (See {THYATIRA}.)
