Yes, except no.  It&#8217;s really three:  <I>lux<\/i> is &#8220;light,&#8221; <i>umbra<\/i> is &#8220;shadow,&#8221; and <i>que,<\/i> like <i>et,<\/i> means &#8220;and&#8221;; it&#8217;s just written as a suffix after a word instead of as a separate word before it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Isn&#8217;t that a little hard to pronounce?&#8221;  Maybe, but isn&#8217;t that a small price to pay for timeless elegance?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Do you have a nickname at least?&#8221;  Yes:  L.U.Q.<br \/>\n <\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"luq-expandable-div luq-expandable-div-expanded\"><div class=\"luq-expandable-div-header\"><span class=\"luq-expandable-div-title\"><\/span><div class=\"luq-expandable-div-caption\">Do You Really Give Away $50 Every Week<\/div><\/div><div class=\"luq-expandable-div-content\"><\/p>\n<p> Yes, and sometimes more!

We are still giving away prizes, but the schedule and amounts are different.)<br \/>\n <\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"luq-expandable-div luq-expandable-div-folded\"><div class=\"luq-expandable-div-header\"><span class=\"luq-expandable-div-title\"><\/span><div class=\"luq-expandable-div-caption\">Is There a Cost to Enter the Contest?<\/div><\/div><div class=\"luq-expandable-div-content\"><br \/>\n  No.  There is no cost to enter the contest, and you may submit as many images as you like, subject to the <a href=\".\/official-contest-rules\">Contest Rules<\/a>.<br \/>\n <\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"luq-expandable-div luq-expandable-div-folded\"><div class=\"luq-expandable-div-header\"><span class=\"luq-expandable-div-title\"><\/span><div class=\"luq-expandable-div-caption\">Where Can I Find More Details About Entering the Contest?<\/div><\/div><div class=\"luq-expandable-div-content\"><br \/>\n  Everything you need to know about <a href=\".\/enter-contest\">entering the contest<\/a> is in the <a href=\".\/official-contest-rules\">Contest Rules<\/a>.

For example, just putting a few thousand dollars on the right new credit card can give you enough to get a free round-trip ticket between the U.S and Europe, or two round-trip tickets within the U.S., or even a flight from the U.S. to New Zealand (one way, so you&#8217;ll want a plan to get back &#8212; maybe a second credit card!). You also have business-class options.<\/p>\n<p> Start with the &#8220;<a href=\".\/travel-for-free\">Travel For Free<\/a>&#8221; section to learn more.<br \/>\n <\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"luq-expandable-div luq-expandable-div-folded\"><div class=\"luq-expandable-div-header\"><span class=\"luq-expandable-div-title\"><\/span><div class=\"luq-expandable-div-caption\">Do You Accept Advertising?<\/div><\/div><div class=\"luq-expandable-div-content\"><br \/>\n  Yes.  That&#8217;s how we pay for the site.<\/p>\n<p>  The nature of on-line advertising means that we don&#8217;t have control over every product or service that you might see advertised, but we only recommend products and services that we genuinely like.  Even so, we always let you know when we have a financial or other arrangement that might create even the appearance of partiality.<br \/>\n <\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"luq-expandable-div luq-expandable-div-folded\"><div class=\"luq-expandable-div-header\"><span class=\"luq-expandable-div-title\"><\/span><div class=\"luq-expandable-div-caption\">Do you Accept Free Equipment?<\/div><\/div><div class=\"luq-expandable-div-content\"><br \/>\n Sure!
