 Red-light district - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A red-light district is a neighborhood where prostitution is a common part of everyday life.
One of the many terms used for a red-light district in Japanese is akasen (赤線), literally meaning "red-line", apparently of independent origins from the English term.
The term was first recorded in the United States and derives from the practice of placing a red light in the window to indicate to customers the nature of the business.

 Light Rail Encyclopedia Article @ LaunchBase.com (Launch Base)
Light rail is generally powered by electricity, usually by means of overhead wires, but sometimes by a live rail, also called third rail (a high voltage bar alongside the track), requiring safety measures and warnings to the public not to touch it.
Light rail opponents argue that modern american metropolitan areas are far too dispersed in residential and employment locations for any mass transit facility to be able to remove a significant percentage of drivers from automobiles.
Light rail supporters decry this ideology, pointing to the social costs of continued highway dependence, arguing that such actions are examples known in the behavioral economics literature as "improving one's self to death."

 Report from the Red-Light District
At present, pyran-containing red dopants such as 4-(dicyanomethylene)-2-methyl-6-(p-dimethylaminostyryl)-4H-pyran (DCM) and related compounds are the most efficient emitters in the wavelength range specified for standard red CRT phosphors by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers and the European Broadcasting Union.
Developing a red host emitter system has been difficult; because most red-emitting materials are either polar or extensively π-conjugated, they are prone to aggregation and concentration quenching in the solid state.
For now, host-emitting red OLEDs do not perform as well as dopant systems, but the gap continues to narrow as more host-emitting red fluorophores are developed.
