Q7207338 PoemJazz is an album by poet, essayist, literary critic, translator and America’s 39th Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress, Robert Pinsky, and Grammy-Award-winning pianist, composer, and arranger, Laurence Hobgood.Released by Circumstantial Productions in 2012, the album was produced by Richard Connolly and Laurence Hobgood.PoemJazz treats a voice speaking poetry as having a role like that of a horn: speech with its own poetic melody and rhythm, in conversation with what the music is doing.The variations in pitch and cadence are those inherent in the words themselves, as they make their way through the lines: idiom true to itself while adapting its rhythms and pitches to counterparts in the music.The melodic arcs and contours of the grammar, the patterns of the consonants and vowels—all these in the poetry are in conversation with the music: not sung, not acted, but spoken as verse, responding to the music. The music, in turn, is in conversation with the poetry, rather than illustrating it or interpreting it or setting it.Richard Connolly invented the word poemjazz during the production of the PoemJazz album in November 2011.

Q5885945 Holy Roller (foaled 18 October 1992) by the Biscay stallion Sanction out of the mare Secret Blessing, was a large Australian Thoroughbred racehorse of the mid-to late-1990s. He won 12 of his 26 races and a developed a cult following amongst Sydney race fans. Bred and owned by Woodlands Stud, Holy Roller stood 18.1 hands compared to the average thoroughbred at around 16 hands. His career highlights included wins in the Bill Ritchie Handicap and the Crystal Mile.Holy Roller was born at Woodlands Stud Denman, New South Wales, where it took his dam over one hour to get him out. The foal arrived at 0240 and did not stand until 0320. Both dam and foal were exhausted and lay for almost an hour recovering. The foaling night watchman was a 6 ft young man, and when the foal finally stood, he reached the mid-chest level of the watchman. Comments at the time included: "VERY big foal, enormous knees, fetlocks, etc."His dam, Secret Blessing, was an average size mare, about 16hands, but very wide and roomy. Most of her progeny had been fairly large - her daughters tended to be wide like her, such as Genuflect, but Immense was tall and wide but not as big as her half-brother Holy Roller. His sire Sanction is a fairly tall horse, 16.1h.Holy Roller was weaned off his dam in April 1993. He was always very easy to pick out amongst the weanlings in a paddock - he was taller than the Clydesdale foal that shared the paddock.Woodlands Stud does not sell its yearlings but races everything it breeds; Trevor Lobb (general manager) and their private trainer John Hawkes assess the youngsters in November and divide them into the appropriate groups for breaking-in. When John Hawkes saw Holy Roller the first time, he said, "He would look good pulling a cart." The yearling was named for the evangelical preachers who used to roam the southern states of the USA (the Mississippi bible belt) commonly known as "holy rollers". He was left until the very last batch of yearlings for breaking-in and didn't go to Belmont Park (north east of Sydney) until May 1994. After the breaker rode him the first time, he said, "This huge lump knows where he is putting his feet and has tremendous balance." Holy Roller was gelded at an early age to try to slow down his rapid growth pattern, but it didn't work.At breaking-in, Holy Roller measured 17 hands and weighed an estimated 660 kg. Each time he went out for a spell, on his return, he would be re-measured and always had increased in height. At the end of his racing career, he measured 18.1 hands.Holy Roller didn't start until he was a late 3 year old. He then won at Canterbury and Moonee Valley (both very tight-turning tracks). Holy Roller always had to race on the outside of the field to have the freedom to stretch out properly. If caught inside other horses, he would cramp up to avoid hitting the others.Jockeys who have ridden Holy Roller him say it was like riding in an old Cadillac, very smooth ride, tremendous suspension but when the stride lengthens in the straight, they get whiplash in their necks; they also refuse to dismount straight off his back but rather get down onto a handy rail if possible, then drop to the ground. Another problem during a race was that the jockey was often unable to see horses in front of Holy Roller's neck and head (hidden underneath), and would have to trust to the horse to get around and past the smaller horse safely. Jockey Larry Cassidy said often he would ask Holy Roller to go forward in a race but the horse would refuse, then move out sideways, and Larry would realise there had been a "normal size" horse in front of him but not visible from the saddle.Holy Roller created extra work for farriers. Standard steel shoes are about 8 inches in length but the Holy Roller needed 14 inches per hoof, meaning the farrier had to start with a straight steel bar.Upon his retirement, his owners - "Chicken Kings" Jack and Bob Ingham - donated Holy Roller to Rod Hoare (NSW State Equine Veterinary Officer) who was looking for a big horse to compete at dressage and eventing.

Q6456833 The L17 downstream element RNA motif (also called L17DE) is a conserved RNA structure identified in bacteria by bioinformatics. All known L17 downstream elements were detected immediately downstream of genes encoding the L17 subunit of the ribosome, and therefore might be in the 3' untranslated regions (3' UTRs) of these genes. The element is found in a variety of lactic acid bacteria and in the genus Listeria.Ribosomal protein leader RNAs in bacteria are found upstream of genes encoding ribosomal subunits, i.e., in their 5' untranslated regions. They bind the protein encoded by the adjacent gene, and are part of a feedback mechanism to regulate the abundance of the relevant ribosomal subunit proteins. Although regulation of an upstream gene is rare in bacteria, the L17 downstream element is positioned so as to perform feedback regulation from the 3' UTR.An RNA transcript overlapping was detected by microarray experiments that overlaps a predicted L17 downstream element RNA. The overlapping RNA was called SR79100.

Q1028650 In Japanese Mahjong, yaku (Japanese: 役) is a condition that determines the value of the player's hand. It is essential to know the yaku for game strategy, since a player must have a minimum of one yaku in their hand in order to legally win a hand. Each yaku has a specific han value. Yaku conditions may be combined to produce hands of greater value. The game also features dora, that allow a hand to add han value, but that cannot count as yaku. Altogether, a hand's points value increases exponentially with every han a hand contains.

Q1505715 Moraingy (Malagasy) or Moringue (French) is a weaponless, bare-fisted striking style of traditional martial art that originated during the Maroseranana dynasty (1675–1896) of the Sakalava Kingdom of western coastal Madagascar. It has since become popularized throughout Madagascar, but particularly in coastal regions, and has spread to neighboring Indian Ocean islands including Réunion, Mayotte, Comoros, Seychelles and Mauritius. Participation in this form of combat was originally limited to young men, allowing elders to judge their physical fitness and strength while providing an opportunity for the youth to gain prestige and test their abilities. Today, while the average age of participants is still between 10 and 35, young people of both genders may practice the sport. Participants are called kidabolahy (young men) or kidabo mpanao moraingy (young people who practice moraingy) and are widely respected and even feared by fellow villagers. In the North, they are called Fagnorolahy, and the assistants, magnafo. Moraingy matches must by tradition be accompanied by music (often salegy) to induce a trance-like state in the fighters and participants, contributing to the spiritual and communal experience of the fight. As part of this experience, participants typically engage in dances during and between the matches that are meant to provoke the supporters of the opposing party, while the crowd cheers and jeers loudly.

Q4812547 At the Movies (originally Siskel & Ebert & the Movies, and later At the Movies with Ebert and Roeper) was an American movie review television program produced by Disney-ABC Domestic Television in which two film critics share their opinions of newly released films. Its original hosts were Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel, the former hosts of Sneak Previews on PBS (1975–1982) and a similarly-titled syndicated series (1982–1986). Following Siskel's death in 1999, Ebert worked with various guest critics until choosing Chicago Sun-Times colleague Richard Roeper as his regular partner in 2000.Ebert suspended his appearances in 2006 for treatment of thyroid cancer, with various guest hosts substituting for him. From April to August 2008 Michael Phillips, a successor of Siskel at the Chicago Tribune, co-hosted with Roeper. Starting on September 6, 2008, Ben Lyons and Ben Mankiewicz took over as hosts; their partnership lasted only one season. On August 5, 2009, it was announced that Phillips would return to the show as a permanent co-host, teaming with A. O.

Q5461549 The Florida Pioneer Museum is a historic site in Florida City, Florida, United States. It was founded in 1962 with the donation of Indian artifacts by Dr. Herbert S. Zim and tools by a group of civic minded women. On August 14, 1973, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.The Museum's building is located in the old Homestead Florida East Coast Railroad station agent's home that was built in 1904. The house was moved to the current location in the mid-1960s to serve as a museum about the local area. The land the building sits on was donated by Henry and Jacqueline Brooker. Henry was an early settler, homesteading west of the present city of Florida City in 1907. His wife, Jacqueline, was the daughter of Bryan H. Edwards, an early mayor of Florida City. The depot building behind the museum was saved by Jack Levy and other local history buffs as the bulldozers were starting to tear it down where it was originally located on N. Flagler Ave. in Homestead. The FEC and the City of Homestead had gotten into an argument over grounds maintenance so the FEC proceeded to demolish the building. It was then moved to its present site in Florida City in 1976, on land donated by the Torcise family. The building was leveled to the platform by Hurricane Andrew in 1992, and the Museum aided in the reconstruction of the building by supplying copies of the original drawings from the Florida East Coast Railway. The Depot is not part of the Museum; it is owned by the City of Florida City.

After making their List A debut in the 1965 Gillette Cup the county played four matches in the competition up to the 1970. Minor counties were not a regular feature of the competition until the 1982 NatWest Trophy after which Norfolk took part every year until the 1985 competition and then from 1990 until 2004, the last year in which all Minor Counties were included.The knock-out nature of the Gillette Cup means that in most competitions Norfolk only played one match, generally against a first-class county. The exceptions were in 2000 and 2002 when Norfolk won their opening round match on each occasion and, in 2002, advanced to the third round of the competition after winning two matches. From the 2002 competition onwards the opening rounds of the tournament were held during the previous English cricket season. As a result, Norfolk's last List A match, in the 2004 Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy, actually took place in August 2003.Players are listed alphabetically with the number of matches played and the calendar years in which they made their first and last appearances in List A cricket for Norfolk. Most players also made appearances for Norfolk in the Minor Counties Championship. Some will have represented other sides in top-class cricket. Only their appearances for Norfolk are included below.
