Talent \Tal"ent\, n. [F., fr. L. talentum a talent (in sense 1),       Gr.

See {Thole}, v. t.,       {Tolerate}.]       1. Among the ancient Greeks, a weight and a denomination of             money equal to 60 min[91] or 6,000 drachm[91]. The Attic             talent, as a weight, was about 57 lbs. avoirdupois; as a             denomination of silver money, its value was [9c]243 15s.             sterling, or about $1,180.                         Rowing vessel whose burden does not exceed five                      hundred talents.                                 --Jowett                                                                               (Thucid.).          2.

Lay is a transitive verb, and has for its                preterit laid; as, he told me to lay it down, and I                laid it down. Lie is intransitive, and has for its                preterit lay; as, he told me to lie down, and I lay                down. Some persons blunder by using laid for the                preterit of lie; as, he told me to lie down, and I laid                down. So persons often say incorrectly, the ship laid                at anchor; they laid by during the storm; the book was                laying on the shelf, etc. It is only necessary to                remember, in all such cases, that laid is the preterit                of lay, and not of lie.          {To lie along the shore} (Naut.), to coast, keeping land in             sight.          {To lie at the door of}, to be imputable to; as, the sin,             blame, etc., lies at your door.          {To lie at the heart}, to be an object of affection, desire,             or anxiety. --Sir W.

One of the more advanced    developing countries in Asia, Thailand depends on exports of    manufactures and the development of the service sector to fuel the    country's rapid growth. Much of Thailand's recent imports have been    for capital equipment, suggesting that the export sector is poised for    further growth. With foreign investment slowing, Bangkok is working to    increase the generation of domestic capital. Prime Minister CHUAN's    government - Thailand's fifth government in less than three years - is    pledged to continue Bangkok's probusiness policies, and the return of    a democratically elected government has improved business confidence.    Even so, CHUAN must overcome divisions within his ruling coalition to    complete much needed infrastructure development programs if Thailand    is to remain an attractive place for business investment. Over the    longer-term, Bangkok must produce more college graduates with    technical training and upgrade workers' skills to continue its rapid    economic development.       National product: GDP - purchasing power parity - $355.2 billion (1994    est.)       National product real growth rate: 8% (1994 est.)       National product per capita: $5,970 (1994 est.)       Inflation rate (consumer prices): 5% (1994 est.)       Unemployment rate: 3.2% (1993 est.)       Budget:    revenues: $28.4 billion    expenditures: $28.4 billion, including capital expenditures of $9.6    billion (FY94/95 est.)       Exports: $46 billion (f.o.b., 1994 est.)    commodities: machinery and manufactures 83%, agricultural products and    fisheries 16%, others 1% (1994 est.)    partners: US 22%, Japan 17%, Singapore 12%, Hong Kong 5%, Germany 4%    (1993)       Imports: $52.6 billion (c.i.f., 1994 est.)    commodities: capital goods 44%, intermediate goods and raw materials    37%, consumer goods 16%, other 3% (1994 est.)    partners: Japan 30%, US 12%, Singapore 6%, Germany 5%, Taiwan 5%    (1993)       External debt: $64.3 billion (1994 est.)       Industrial production: growth rate 11.5% (1993 est.);
