"Chatterbox" is written and sung by Thunders, whom Willis felt "uses his voice as a wailing instrument" in a manner similar to rock singer Robert Plant.
Its lyrics depict adversities faced by the protagonist, "Little Rhinestone Target", as he tries to change his name in pursuit of his shoe fetish, before the music ends with a gunshot, a sound effect inspired by the Olympics' 1958 song "Western Movies".
Willis interpreted a feminist subtext in the song, citing the lyrics "sometimes you gotta get away someway / and now you're walkin' just like you're ten feet tall ... I hope you don't get shot for tryin'."
The song is Thunders's first time singing lead and features vocals Weisbard and Marks said are delivered in a quavering but proud New York accent.
His lyrics describe the narrator's growing frustration over a crossed-wire phone connection with a female subject.

receiver
A balanced line allows a differential receiver to reduce the noise on a connection by rejecting common-mode interference.
The geometry of the cable ensures that magnetic fields will cause equal interference of both legs of the balanced circuit.
This balanced interference is a common-mode signal that can easily be removed by a transformer or balanced differential receiver.
The lines have the same impedance to ground, so the interfering fields or currents induce the same voltage in both wires.
Since the receiver responds only to the difference between the wires, it is not influenced by the induced noise voltage.

horn
A famous example was the horn through which Nipper the RCA dog heard "His Master's Voice".
Technology history The physics (and mathematics) of horn operation were developed for many years, reaching considerable sophistication before WWII.
The most well known early horn loudspeakers were those on mechanical phonographs, where the record moved a heavy metal needle that excited vibrations in a small metal diaphragm that acted as the driver for a horn.
The horn improves the loading and thus gets a better "coupling" of energy from the diaphragm into the air, and the pressure variations therefore get smaller as the volume expands and the sound travels up the horn.
This kind of mechanical impedance matching was absolutely necessary in the days of pre-electrical sound reproduction in order to achieve a usable sound level.

notes
A foot pedal lowers the bar and allows notes to ring freely; releasing the pedal engages the damper and stops any vibrating notes.
In 1927, the J.C. Deagan company introduced a pedal mechanism that has not changed substantially since.
A rigid bar beneath the center of the instrument is pressed upward by an adjustable spring and engages a long felt pad against the sharps and the naturals.
One common flaw of this damping mechanism is that the bar is often supported at one point in the middle, causing it to damp the instrument unevenly in the upper and lower registers.
To combat this, some manufacturers have made silicone- or liquid-filled damper pads whose fluid shape can conform evenly around the bars.

Smiling and serious, the forehead high, the beard white towards the end of his life, attentive to human suffering, he personified the authentic therapist, the authority who pain does not resist.
He was nevertheless not content with treating and healing.
He also wrote "Les Guerisons Mystiques et le Magnetisme" (The Mystic Healings and Magnetism), "Le Retour a la Sante par le jeune" (The Return to Health by Fasting), almost 25 titles he wrote based on medicine or the great ideas of esotericism.
With a mind open to all kinds of thoughts, he became enthusiastic about oriental philosophy.

amplifier
A typical example of linear equipment is a high fidelity audio amplifier, which must amplify a signal without changing its waveform.
Electronics In electronics, the linear operating region of a device, for example a transistor, is where an output dependent variable (such as the transistor collector current) is directly proportional to an input dependent variable (such as the base current).
This ensures that an analog output is an accurate representation of an input, typically with higher amplitude (amplified).
Others are linear filters, and linear amplifiers in general.
In most scientific and technological, as distinct from mathematical, applications, something may be described as linear if the characteristic is approximately but not exactly a straight line; and linearity may be valid only within a certain operating region—for example, a high-fidelity amplifier may distort a small signal, but sufficiently little to be acceptable (acceptable but imperfect linearity); and may distort very badly if the input exceeds a certain value.

guitar
Among its notable features, "Train Kept A'Rollin'" displayed a ground-breaking fuzzed guitar.
The Rough Guide Music USA indicates the band is best known for their rendition of this song.
In Billy Poore's Rockabilly: A Forty-Year Journey, he describes the single "Train Kept A'Rollin'", backed with "Honey Hush", as "two of the best all-time rockabilly cuts ever", "what pure, scorching, unrestrained rockabilly music should sound like".
This resulted from an accident, when a valve in the amplifier of the guitarist Paul Burlison came loose before a gig in Philadelphia.
The distorted sound that resulted proved so popular that Burlison intentionally repeated it in future performance.

A Farewell to the Rocket The 14th game was the first all-star game that did not have Maurice "Rocket" Richard in the lineup, as he had retired after winning the Stanley Cup a year ago.
The pre-game events both honored the all-stars, as was the norm, but was also a celebration of the Rocket's career.
Replacing the Rocket in the Habs' lineup was Bill Hicke, who played alongside Richard's old linemates, Dickie Moore and younger brother Henri Richard.
Other no-shows in this all-star game was Ab McDonald, who was traded to the Chicago Black Hawks, as well as Dean Prentice and Phil Goyette, who were both out with an injury.

Among those myths is Ragnarök, in which the Norse gods, the Æsir, are defeated by the giants, and the world is drowned.
This redemption might or might not be available, however, to pre-Christian pagans, even if, like Aragorn, they were clearly virtuous.
Tolkien shared his pessimistic outlook with Norse mythology, in which he was an expert.
Shippey writes that the heroic Norse response to such a gloomy picture was defiance, a pagan Northern courage, appearing in The Lord of the Rings as a consistent good cheer, a willingness to keep going and to keep smiling, even in the face of apparent disaster.
Fading of an imagined prehistory The Tolkien scholar Marjorie Burns notes in Mythlore that the "sense of inevitable disintegration" in The Lord of the Rings is borrowed from the Nordic world view which emphasises "imminent or threatening destruction".

flute
An alto flute is briefly heard in The Beatles song "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away", played by John Scott.
Several modal jazz and avant-garde jazz performers have utilized the flute including Eric Dolphy, Sam Rivers and James Spaulding.
Jethro Tull is probably the best-known rock group to make regular use of the flute, which is played by its frontman, Ian Anderson.
The Beatles would later feature a flute more prominently in their single "Penny Lane".
Other groups that have used the flute in pop and rock songs include The Moody Blues, Chicago, Australian groups Men at Work and King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, the Canadian progressive rock group Harmonium, Dutch bands Focus and early Golden Earring, and the British groups Traffic, Genesis, Gong (although its flautist/saxophonist Didier Malherbe was French), Hawkwind, King Crimson, Camel, and Van der Graaf Generator.

An ambulance being dispatched by the outside (non-FDNY) agency is heard.
The Commission report says the North Tower lobby command may not have worked because of a technical problem, the volume control turned all the way down, or because a button that must be pressed to enable it had not been pushed.
On the audio track, an outside agency, possibly in New Jersey and using a repeater, comes through the receive audio on the Port Authority Repeater 7 system.
This may be what the FDNY had described as interference caused when the repeater was left enabled at all times.
The distant user appears to be repeated through the system, (possibly on the same CTCSS tone as was configured in Repeater 7).

An audio amplifier amplifies audio frequencies.
A narrowband amp amplifies a specific narrow range of frequencies, to the exclusion of other frequencies.
An RF amplifier amplifies signals in the radio frequency range of the electromagnetic spectrum, and is often used to increase the sensitivity of a receiver or the output power of a transmitter.
This category subdivides into small signal amplification, and power amps that are optimised to driving speakers, sometimes with multiple amps grouped together as separate or bridgeable channels to accommodate different audio reproduction requirements.
Frequently used terms within audio amplifiers include: Preamplifier (preamp.),

The memoir opens during the 1967 war, when the King, then a toddler, is dared by his brother to race across the lawn in the middle of an Israeli air raid.
The incident serves as a potent symbol: Unsolved, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict looms over the region, threatening to disrupt daily life at a moment's notice.
The King goes on to detail his formative years, from staring down anti-Arab stereotypes at a US boarding school to his military career in Zarqa and proposing to Rania Yassin on Tal Rumman.

The latter term was used in A Midsummer Night's Dream () by William Shakespeare, "The honie-bags steale from the humble Bees."
Similar terms are used in other Germanic languages, such as the German (Old High German ), Dutch or Swedish .
In On the Origin of Species (1859), Charles Darwin speculated about "humble-bees" and their interactions with other species: However, "bumblebee" remained in use, for example in The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse (1910) by Beatrix Potter, "Suddenly round a corner, she met Babbitty Bumble--"Zizz, Bizz, Bizzz!"

Further detailed analysis of transcriptomic data and their comparison with genomic data will provide more depth insights about parasite lifecycle and what different genes are important in the free living and parasitic stages.
Excretome/secretome project Excretome/secretome (ES) components essentially consist of proteins and other compounds that are secreted from the parasite and it constitutes the primary interface between parasite and host and may be further exploited as potential vaccine candidates.
Several proteins were identified that have also been detected in the ES of other nematode species.
