      Note: Weight differs from gravity in being the effect of
               gravity, or the downward pressure of a body under the
               influence of gravity; hence, it constitutes a measure
               of the force of gravity, and being the resultant of all

               particles of the body, it is proportional to the
               quantity of matter in the body.
  
      2. The quantity of heaviness; comparative tendency to the
            center of the earth; the quantity of matter as estimated
            by the balance, or expressed numerically with reference to

            of five hundred pounds.

      5. A scale, or graduated standard, of heaviness; a mode of

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   weak typing
  
      Strict enforcement of {type} rules but with
      well-defined exceptions or an explicit type-violation
      mechanism.
  
      Weak typing is "friendlier" to the programmer than {strong
      typing}, but catches fewer errors at compile time.
  
      {C} and {C++} are weakly typed, as they automatically {coerce}
      many types e.g. {ints} and {floats}.   E.g.
  
         int a = 5;
         float b = a;
  
      They also allow ignore {typedefs} for the purposes of type
      comparison; for example the following is allowed, which would
      probably be disallowed in a strongly typed language:
  
         typedef int Date;      /* Type to represent a date */
         Date a = 12345;
         int b = a;         /* What does the coder intend? */
  
      C++ is stricter than C in its handling of enumerated types:
  
         enum animal {CAT=0,DOG=2,ANT=3};
         enum animal a = CAT;   /* NB The enum is optional in C++ */
         enum animal b = 1;      /* This is a warning or error in C++ */

   on the Gaza Strip and the Jericho Area. A transfer of powers and
   responsibilities in certain spheres for the rest of the West Bank has
   taken place pursuant to the Israel-PLO 29 August 1994 Agreement on
   Preparatory Transfer of Powers and Responsibilities. The DOP provides
   that Israel will retain responsibility during the transitional period

   Economy
  
   Overview: Economic progress in the West Bank has been hampered by
   Israeli military administration and the effects of the Palestinian
   uprising (intifadah). Industries using advanced technology or
   requiring sizable investment have been discouraged by a lack of local
   capital and restrictive Israeli policies. Capital investment consists
   largely of residential housing, not productive assets that would
   enable local Palestinian firms to compete with Israeli industry. GDP
   has been substantially supplemented by remittances of workers employed
   in Israel and Persian Gulf states. Such transfers from the Gulf
   dropped after Iraq invaded Kuwait in August 1990. In the wake of the
   Persian Gulf crisis, many Palestinians have returned to the West Bank,
   increasing unemployment, and export revenues have dropped because of
   the decline of markets in Jordan and the Gulf states. Israeli measures
   to curtail the intifadah also have added to unemployment and lowered
   living standards. The area's economic situation has worsened since
   Israel's partial closure of the territories in 1993.
