LITERAL | POSSESSED | arm | The match began with Regal viciously attacking Ambrose's injured left arm, but Ambrose rammed Regal into the ring post to badly disorientate him. | Following the loss to Regal, Ambrose became obsessed about wanting a rematch and regularly taunted Regal by using Regal's finishing moves to win matches. | A rematch was scheduled as the main event for the final episode of FCW on 15 July. | Then Ambrose ruthlessly kneed Regal's head into an exposed turnbuckle, causing Regal to bleed from the ear and the match was then ruled a no contest. | After the match, Regal stared down Ambrose, then applauded him and turned his head to allow Ambrose to deliver the Knee Trembler. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William%20Regal | William Regal |
LITERAL | POSSESSED | uniform | The maximum uniform pull happens when one end of the plunger is at the middle of the solenoid. | The plunger stops moving when the forces upon it are balanced. | For example, the forces are balanced when the plunger is centered in the solenoid. | An approximation for the force is where is a proportionality constant, is the cross-sectional area of the plunger, is the number of turns in the solenoid, is the current through the solenoid wire, and is the length of the solenoid. | For units using inches, pounds force, and amperes with long, slender, solenoids, the value of is around 0.009 to 0.010 psi (maximum pull pounds per square inch of plunger cross-sectional area). | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnet | Electromagnet |
LITERAL | POSSESSED | muscle | The medial masseter muscle shows only minimal passage through the infraorbital foramen leading most authorities to consider them protrogomorphous. | The number of cheek teeth varies greatly between species, an unusual feature among rodents, so that the dental formula for the family is: Technical characteristics The skull morphology of blesmols sets them apart from all other rodents. | As with all members of their suborder, their jaws are hystricognathous, but, unlike their relatives, they have a highly reduced infraorbital foramen. | They are therefore the only protrogomorphous hystricognaths. | Behavior Blesmols live in elaborate burrow systems and different species exhibit varying degrees of sociality. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blesmol | Blesmol |
LITERAL | POSSESSED | euphonium | The melody for the trio is in the flutes, first clarinet, first trumpet, tenor saxophones, and euphonium and is played at a dynamic of piano. | The trio begins with another introduction that has the high and middle voices playing chords in tied half notes and whole notes as the lower choir plays a little passage of quarter notes. | Like almost all major key marches, it adds one more flat and is now in the key of concert D Major. | The main melody of the trio is repeated with no other voices changing; the portion is repeated at a softer dynamic once more. | Much like the second strain, the break strain transitions strongly into its melody from the second strain only this time it is in B minor and repeats the passage one whole step down. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnum%20and%20Bailey%27s%20Favorite | Barnum and Bailey's Favorite |
LITERAL | POSSESSED | viola | The melody was carried by the leader, with the lower voices (viola and cello) accompanying. | 20 is of historic and aesthetic importance... there is perhaps no single or sextuple opus in the history of instrumental music which has achieved so much". | Here are some of the innovations of the quartets: Equality of voices Prior to opus 20, the first violin, or, sometimes, the two violins, dominated the quartet. | In opus 20, Haydn gives each instrument, and particularly the cello, its own voice. | An outstanding example of this is the second quartet in C major. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String%20Quartets%2C%20Op.%2020%20%28Haydn%29 | String Quartets, Op. 20 (Haydn) |
LITERAL | POSSESSED | hand | The metal hand was constructed to allow him to hold his shield in battle. | Marcus Sergius was a Roman general during the Second Punic War (218 to 201 BC). | He is famed in prosthetics circles as the first documented user of a prosthetic hand. | A description of Marcus Sergius is found in the seventh book of Pliny's Natural History, published in AD 77: Nobody - at least in my opinion - can rightly rank any man above Marcus Sergius, although his great-grandson Catiline shames his name. | In his second campaign Sergius lost his right hand. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus%20Sergius | Marcus Sergius |
LITERAL | POSSESSED | horns | The Minuet has no pick-up, the horns and trumpets come to the foreground in the Trio. | The exposition has a repeat, and the development and recapitulation are also marked off by a repeat (which is not always observed). | The slow movement is written for strings only, but the continuo is generally understood to continue through; the violas rather than the second violins double the first violins at the octave (Delarte, 2006). | For the most part, the winds support the strings harmonically. | The last movement is a lively rondo with a stronger tendency to F major than to G major. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphony%20No.%202%20%28Michael%20Haydn%29 | Symphony No. 2 (Michael Haydn) |
METONYMIC | POSSESSED | arm | The mission of the overt part was to "counter system-sponsored propaganda", "educate the Folk", and "provide a man pool from which the covert or military arm can be [recruited]." | White revolution Aiming at a "white revolution", Wotansvolk endorsed the "leaderless resistance" strategy originally developed by Louis Beam. | Their own version involved the tactical separation between an open propaganda arm and a paramilitary underground. | Predicting that the openly racist propaganda arm would be "under scrutiny", Lane emphasized by 1994 the need for members to "operate within the [legal] parameters" and keep themselves "rigidly separated" from the military underground. | The paramilitary wing would have to "operate in small, autonomous cells, the smaller the better, even one man alone", in order for its members to primarily target "weak points in the infrastructure" of industrialized societies with "fire, bombs, guns, terror, disruption, and destruction". | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wotansvolk | Wotansvolk |
LITERAL | POSSESSED | engines | The most common rich mixture producing device for starting cold engines is the choke, which works on the same principle. | Small model engines have flow restrictions ahead of the jets to reduce the pressure enough to draw the fuel into the airflow. | Similarly the idle and slow running jets of large carburetors are placed after the throttle valve where the pressure is reduced partly by viscous drag, rather than by Bernoulli's principle. | Power valve For open throttle operation, a richer fuel/air mixture will produce more power, prevent pre-ignition detonation, and keep the engine running cooler. | This is usually addressed with a spring-loaded "power valve", which is held shut by engine vacuum. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carburetor | Carburetor |
LITERAL | POSSESSED | truck | The movement of approximately 300 Taroom residents occurred via foot and hired truck over the 250 km. | There was a forcible relocation of dispossessed survivors into government-controlled settlements starting from 1897, with the introduction of the Aboriginals Protection Act—initially at Taroom, and then Woorabinda. | Peoples from at least 17 different language groups were placed within the camp, some from as far as Mornington Island, and were under the control of a local Superintendent beneath the state Chief Protector of Aborigines. | This walk from Taroom to Woorabinda was commemorated by the community with a supported re-enactment in 2014. | The Woorabinda community is the only DOGIT Aboriginal community within the Central Queensland region. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woorabinda%2C%20Queensland | Woorabinda, Queensland |
LITERAL | POSSESSED | gun | The museum provides information about the "Lange Max" gun that bombarded Dunkirk and also Ypres in 1917 . | It is located on a domain called Site Lange Max, which includes a farmyard. | The site includes other protected monuments such as a bakehouse, the artillerie platform and a former German mess. | Dunkirk is located at about ± 45 km from Koekelare. | The information is available in four languages: Dutch, German, English and French. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lange%20Max%20Museum | Lange Max Museum |
LITERAL | POSSESSED | string | The namespace name is a character string which must adhere to the generic URI syntax. | It has the advantage of both being easy for CGI parsers and also acts as an intermediary between HTTP and underlying resource, in this case. | Relation to XML namespaces In XML, a namespace is an abstract domain to which a collection of element and attribute names can be assigned. | However, the name is generally not considered to be a URI, because the URI specification bases the decision not only on lexical components, but also on their intended use. | A namespace name does not necessarily imply any of the semantics of URI schemes; for example, a namespace name beginning with http: may have no connotation to the use of the HTTP. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform%20Resource%20Identifier | Uniform Resource Identifier |
