LITERAL | POSSESSED | strings | There are both advantages and disadvantages to immutability: although immutable strings may require inefficiently creating many copies, they are simpler and completely thread-safe. | In other languages, such as Java, JavaScript, Lua, Python, and Go, the value is fixed and a new string must be created if any alteration is to be made; these are termed immutable strings. | Some of these languages with immutable strings also provide another type that is mutable, such as Java and .NET's , the thread-safe Java , and the Cocoa NSMutableString. | Strings are typically implemented as arrays of bytes, characters, or code units, in order to allow fast access to individual units or substrings—including characters when they have a fixed length. | A few languages such as Haskell implement them as linked lists instead. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String%20%28computer%20science%29 | String (computer science) |

LITERAL | POSSESSED | taste | There is a variety of such food and drink competitions worldwide, where the taste and quality of products are assessed. | Finally, the international competitions test all kinds of foods and drinks available to consumers on a retail basis. | Wine is probably the most tested drink, followed by beer and spirits. | Most evaluations are carried out blind, sometimes complemented by laboratory analysis. | The jury usually consists of a panel of different types of "experts" in tastings such as chefs or sommeliers. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food%20competition | Food competition |
LITERAL | POSSESSED | uniform | There were initially four major factions in chariot racing, differentiated by the colour of the uniform in which they competed; the colours were also worn by their supporters. | They are often regarded as the most violent riots in the city's history, with nearly half of Constantinople being burned or destroyed and tens of thousands of people killed. | Background The ancient Roman and Byzantine empires had well-developed associations, known as demes, which supported the different factions (or teams) to which competitors in certain sporting events belonged, especially in chariot racing. | These were the Blues (Veneti), the Greens (Prasini), the Reds (Russati), and the Whites (Albati), although by the Byzantine era the only teams with any influence were the Blues and Greens. | Emperor Justinian I was a supporter of the Blues. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nika%20riots | Nika riots |
LITERAL | POSSESSED | artisan | There were numerous glassworks in Wordsley from 1776 until 1930, making artisan-created cut glass items such as vases, glasses and objets-d'art. | The path loosely follows the escape of the future Charles II during the English Civil War. | He is said to have stopped at a house (which has since been demolished) on the corner of Kinver Street and the main Stourbridge road in Wordsley, during the night following the battle of Worcester on 3 September 1651, and taken bread and beer for himself and his party of about 60 cavaliers. | The famous replica of the Roman Portland Vase was cut in Wordsley. | One of the most famous glass designers was a Wordsley man, William Jabez Muckley. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wordsley | Wordsley |
METONYMIC | POSSESSED | voice | These Earth-orbiting systems are capable of receiving and relaying voice, data, and TV signals. | Communications satellites – Satellites communicate via microwave radio waves, which are not deflected by the Earth's atmosphere. | The satellites are stationed in space, typically in geosynchronous orbit above the equator. | Cellular and PCS systems use several radio communications technologies. | The systems divide the region covered into multiple geographic areas. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless%20network | Wireless network |
LITERAL | POSSESSED | instruments | These instruments came to be referred to as theorbo-lutes. | They were a standard scale length of 76 cm, which made them smaller than Italian instruments, which ranged from 85–95 cm. | Germany German theorbos would also today be called swan-necked Baroque lutes; seventeenth-century German theorbists played single-strung instruments in the Italian tuning transposed down a whole step, but eighteenth-century players switched to double-strung instruments in the "d-minor" tuning used in French and German... | Baron remarks that "the lute, because of its delicacy, serves well in trios or other chamber music with few participants. | The theorbo, because of its power, serves best in groups of thirty to forty musicians, as in churches and operas." | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theorbo | Theorbo |
LITERAL | POSSESSED | garment | These may take the form of velcro flaps at the neck and shoulders, allowing the neckline to expand when the garment is pulled down over the head. | For this reason, it is common for adaptive clothing to utilize velcro or magnetic closures in the place of closures that would require more dexterity. | Similarly, disabled people whose mobility limits them from engaging in the typical full range of motion commonly experience difficulty when dressing in clothing that must be pulled up from the feet or pulled over the head; as such, adaptive clothing may feature hidden flap-openings or additional closures that allow the... | The same adjustments may also be made for shoes and other accessories, with velcro closures being the most common feature in adaptive shoes. | Examples Magnetic closures For individuals suffering from Parkinson's and other disabilities that affect motor skills like dexterity, magnetic closures have emerged as a great solution across multiple garments. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive%20clothing | Adaptive clothing |
LITERAL | POSSESSED | hand | These mini albums can be constructed and hand made from scratch. | Mini albums are another great way of memory keeping and a new trend in scrapbooking. | They can be made in different sizes based on the number of photos to be put inside the album. | Media Materials The most important scrapbooking supply is the album itself, which can be permanently bound, or allow for the insertion of pages. | There are other formats such as mini albums and accordion-style fold-out albums. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrapbooking | Scrapbooking |
LITERAL | POSSESSED | instrument | These parts are usually given to the cello section, since the cello is a smaller instrument on which these techniques are more easily performed. | However, the increased use of playing techniques such as thumb position and modifications to the bass, such as the use of lighter-gauge strings at lower tension, have eased the difficulty of playing the instrument. | Bass parts have relatively fewer fast passages, double stops, or large jumps in range. | Until the 1990s, child-sized double basses were not widely available, and the large size of the bass prevented children from playing the instrument until they grew to a height and hand size that allowed them to play a -size model (the most common size). | Starting in the 1990s, smaller , , , and even -sized instruments became more widely available, so children could start younger. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double%20bass | Double bass |
LITERAL | POSSESSED | opinion | These proceeding had raised concerns among academic community that the scientific opinion on climate change might be suppressed during Trump's presidency. | Background During his run for presidency, President Trump had expressed, in various occasions, climate change denialism calling the climate change as Chinese hoax "in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive", and voiced his hostility towards climate science and Paris climate agreement. | In early December 2016, a prominent climate change sceptic, Scott Pruitt was selected as a new administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). | Indeed, according to Reuters sources, on 25 January 2017, Trump's administration instructed United States Environmental Protection Agency to remove climate change page from their website. | The event Fearing for possible deletion, or alteration of the US government websites containing the government climate data, as happened in Canada, people from various academic backgrounds and training such as coders, environmental scientists, social scientists, archivists, and librarians gathered together in order to ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data%20rescue | Data rescue |
LITERAL | POSSESSED | hand | These routine searches often employ hand held or walk through metal detectors, and baggage x-ray machines. | All prison staff, regardless of position, volunteers, visitors, new court commit, and offenders returning from off ground, are searched prior to entry. | This aides in the reduction of contraband being introduced into the facility. | Under certain instances, a canine, pat/frisk, full strip, and vehicle (if parked on facility grounds) search may be conducted. | Correction officers are responsible for transporting inmates to other facilities, medical appointments, court appearances, and other approved locations. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prison%20officer | Prison officer |
LITERAL | POSSESSED | garment | These tops are usually marketed to older adults, who are more likely to have delicate hair styles that can be damaged by pulling a garment over. | The zippers do not need to be open in order for the top to be pulled over. | But the zipper allows the top to be widely open when being pulled over in order to not disturb one's hair style. | Brassieres Most bras close in the back with a series of hooks and eyes. | Since bras are elastic, they can still be donned with the closure in front and reversed. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back%20closure | Back closure |
LITERAL | POSSESSED | attire | These, and the traditional fabrics sold in the textile souk, are ever-popular in the run-up to the annual Newroz celebrations when the townspeople assume traditional attire. | Where possible, tradesmen gather alongside others who trade in the same wares, giving each alleyway a specialism such as the passageway towards the north-east corner where honey and dairy products are sold - yoghurts and cheeses piling the highly valued local honey. | Another highly prized tradition is the creation of Klash shoes - an ancient uniquely Kurdish craft when white cloth is beaten on small anvils to create hardwearing footwear. | Architecture and layout The citadel is situated on a large tell – or settlement mound – of roughly oval shape that is between high. | The area on top of the mound measures and is large. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citadel%20of%20Erbil | Citadel of Erbil |
