LITERAL | CAUSER | pianist | Anna Song, described as "the greatest pianist that no one has heard of", appears to record a huge discography despite illness and old age. | Barrington-Coupe was still alive at the time, but Wood stated in an interview with The Guardian that she did not consult him when she was writing the screenplay, although members of the research team for the project had met with him on a number of occasions. | In literature Joyce Hatto's story inspired a novel by the French-Vietnamese author Minh Tran Huy, La Double vie d'Anna Song ("The double life of Anna Song"). | Her husband, Paul Desroches, acts as producer for the recordings. | It is later revealed in a magazine that the recordings are not the work of Song, but have been stolen by her husband from the work of others. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joyce%20Hatto | Joyce Hatto |
LITERAL | CAUSER | bell | Another right cross put Ertle to the canvas before the bell interrupted a count of nine. | The close bout was stopped because of Ertle's cut eye, but the Minneapolis Tribune wrote that he had at least a small margin on points until the fourth round. | In the fourth, however, Herman sent Ertle to the canvas with a right cross for a count of four. | Only a few seconds into the fifth, Herman put Ertle down again with a right cross, and the referee called the match. | Ertle lost to American flyweight champion contender Frankie Mason on June 20, 1919 in a ten-round newspaper decision in Grand Rapids, Michigan. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny%20Ertle | Johnny Ertle |
LITERAL | CAUSER | bird | Another version reads:One day a man heard a bird calling to him, saying, "Go now, go now." | A 2004 translation of the Anales de Tlatelolco gives the only known date related to the exit from Aztlan; day-sign "4 Cuauhtli" (Four Eagle) of the year "1 Tecpatl" (Knife) or 1064–1065, and correlated to January 4, 1065. | Cristobal del Castillo mentions in his book "Fragmentos de la Obra General Sobre Historia de los Mexicanos", that the lake around the Aztlan island was called Metztliapan or "Lake of the moon." | When the man told the chief about the bird, the chief was relieved. | He had known his people must find a new land, their own land, but had waited for a sign. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aztl%C3%A1n | Aztlán |
LITERAL | CAUSER | reality | Anton Pelinka thought that denying and silencing the historical reality allowed for the first time in history, a consolidation of society and healing of the wounds of the past. | Conservative historians hid Leopold Kunschak's anti-Semitism, social democrats were silent about Renner's sycophancy before Stalin and Hitler. | The competing groups never tried to expose each other, they continued to mutually respect the party legends and taboos for three decades. | In the 1970s historians, following the political order, focused on investigation of the interwar period; the Nazi regime being interpreted as absolution from sins of the First Republic and still within the boundaries of the "victim theory". | Authors of the standard "History of Austria" (1977) Gorlich and Romanik stated that WWII belonged to world history, it was not an Austrian war because Austria as a state did not participate in it. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austria%20victim%20theory | Austria victim theory |
LITERAL | CAUSER | speaker | Arriving in that time period, they discover that Wolfgang has completely taken over and constructed the "Big Bad Woofer", a giant speaker that amplifies his painful music 10-fold. | To do so, they reopen Kaos' old workshop and trap him, but Wolfgang, a rockstar werewolf armed with a massive bone harp, abandons Dr. Krankcase and leaves him to be trapped by the Skylanders. | The Skylanders and Flynn track Wolfgang to Time Town, but they arrive too late as Wolfgang has already headed to the far future. | The Skylanders make their way to the sinister speaker and shut it down, and defeat Wolfgang. | However, the rotten cheese was sent to the Golden Queen in the present, and she completes the weapon. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skylanders%3A%20Trap%20Team | Skylanders: Trap Team |
METONYMIC | CAUSER | microphone | As a wiretapThere are strong concerns that the ever-listening microphone of smart speakers presents a perfect candidate for wiretapping. | These include what is being recorded, how the data will be used, how it will be protected, and whether it will be used for invasive advertising. | Further, an analysis of Amazon Alexa Echo Dots showed that 30–38% of "spurious audio recordings were human conversations", suggesting that these devices capture audio otherwise than strictly after detection of the hot word. | In 2017, British security researcher Mark Barnes showed that pre-2017 Echos have exposed pins which allow for a compromised OS to be booted. | Voice assistance vs privacy While voice assistants provide a valuable service, there can be some hesitation towards using them in various social contexts, such as in public or around other users. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart%20speaker | Smart speaker |
LITERAL | CAUSER | receiver | As above, the receiver reduces the center-frequency of a portion of the input signal spectrum, but the portion is not swept. | FFT refers to a particular mathematical algorithm used in the process. | This is commonly used in conjunction with a receiver and analog-to-digital converter. | The purpose of the receiver is to reduce the sampling rate that the analyzer must contend with. | With a sufficiently low sample-rate, FFT analyzers can process all the samples (100% duty-cycle), and are therefore able to avoid missing short-duration events. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrum%20analyzer | Spectrum analyzer |
LITERAL | CAUSER | wasp | As Bean prepares to read his book and eat his cake, a wasp suddenly buzzes around his spot and refuses to leave him alone, irritating him. | He soon begins setting up his picnic which consists of a large blanket, a portable transistor radio, a cake stand, a plate, a bottle of orange juice, a small chair, a book and a nice iced cupcake complete with a cherry on top. | Unbeknown to him, a car thief breaks into his Mini and hotwires it, only to find the steering wheel is missing; Bean had removed it and had it with him in his picnic basket. | He soon attempts to deal with it as it goes after his cake, swatting at it, jousting with it, chasing it around and even trying to drown it in his bottle of juice. | Bean finally manages to kill it by tricking it into landing on the pages of his book and then quickly closing the book. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Trouble%20with%20Mr.%20Bean | The Trouble with Mr. Bean |
LITERAL | CAUSER | insect | As Fellini said in his interview to Time magazine, "Paparazzo ... suggests to me a buzzing insect, hovering, darting, stinging." | Etymology A news photographer named Paparazzo (played by Walter Santesso in the 1960 film La Dolce Vita directed by Federico Fellini) is the eponym of the word paparazzi. | In his book The Facts on File Encyclopedia of Word and Phrase Origins, Robert Hendrickson writes that Fellini named the "hyperactive photographer ... after Italian slang for 'mosquito.'" | Those versions of the word's origin are sometimes contested. | For example, in the Abruzzo dialect spoken by Ennio Flaiano, co-scriptwriter of La Dolce Vita, the term paparazzo refers to the local clam, Venerupis decussata, and is also used as a metaphor for the shutter of a camera lens. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paparazzi | Paparazzi |
METONYMIC | CAUSER | crowd | As he began his questioning of the witnesses, the Clodian crowd drowned out his voice and surrounded him. | However, on the first day, Gaius Causinius Schola appeared as a witness against Milo and described the deed in such a way as to portray Milo as a cold-blooded murderer. | That worked up the Clodian crowd, who, in turn, terrified the advocate on Milo's side, Marcus Marcellus. | On subsequent days, Pompey brought in armed men to keep order. | On the final day of the trial, Cicero was to give a closing speech to try to prevent Milo from being condemned. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titus%20Annius%20Milo | Titus Annius Milo |
METONYMIC | CAUSER | crowd | As he began his questioning of the witnesses, the crowd drowned out his voice and surrounded him. | On the first day, Gaius Causinius Schola appeared as a witness against Milo and described the deed in such a way as to portray Milo as a coldblooded murderer. | That worked up Clodius' supporters, who terrified the advocate on Milo's side, Marcus Marcellus. | The action taken by Pompey prevented much furore from the vehemently anti-Milo crowds for the rest of the case. | On the second day of the trial, the armed cohorts were introduced by Pompey. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pro%20Milone | Pro Milone |
LITERAL | CAUSER | key | As he comes to visit her daily she notices a key had been misplaced in the stockpile collection that accesses the labyrinth doors. | Yumeji and Merry have known each other before when they were children. | 10 years ago, a kid Yumeji somehow found himself in the dream world meeting Merry. | To ease her frustration, Yumeji ventures into the dream world with her in circles running into the same odd door. | Violently the law of opening someone else's door, the right arms of Yumeji and the newly born Rem got swapped, making Yumeji ineffective to other dream demons. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dream%20Eater%20Merry | Dream Eater Merry |

LITERAL | CAUSER | shore | As he was sailing along shore he heard a voice say "come, shore my boat" which he ignored. | On one occasion he followed two people who rode his canoe to Deowongo Island, beat them both with the paddles, and left them stranded on the island to get off the best way they could. | And another time Mr. Olcott Chamberlin, son of Freedom Chamberlain, took The Panther's boat at night with a torch to fish along shore. | The Panther then shot above the boat which persuaded Mr. Chamberlin to come to shore. | The Panther left on a normal visit to Connecticut around 1846 and did not return to Otsego County. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Panther%20%28Sam%20Brushell%29 | The Panther (Sam Brushell) |
LITERAL | CAUSER | waterfall | As his mother was eaten by the snake, he had floated down a waterfall, where he heard young Rapunzel singing. | Although he seems to like helping Rapunzel adjust to her new royal life, he eventually starts to feel he doesn't belong with her and runs away, to Rapunzel's isolated tower in the deepest parts of the forest. | In Episode 11, it is revealed that, as a baby, his mother had sent him to safety on a lily-pad to escape a ravenous snake that was pursuing them. | He climbed her tower but was still being followed by the snake which infected him with its lethal venom. | It was then that the young Rapunzel used the light-based, healing magic of her blond hair to return him to life. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal%20and%20Maximus | Pascal and Maximus |
LITERAL | CAUSER | notes | As McVeigh notes, the opening theme of the third movement echoes that of the first, resembling an extended rendition of it in minuet tempo. | As commentators have pointed out, this movement would be too fast and light to begin a classical symphony on its own, but fits well after a slow opening movement. | Later in Haydn's symphonic career, the same effect would be achieved by placing a light opening theme after a slow introduction. | The trio section features writing in the high register for the two horns. | The last movement is one of the earliest examples of a "hunting finale" that would later be used in symphonies such as No. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphony%20No.%2022%20%28Haydn%29 | Symphony No. 22 (Haydn) |
LITERAL | CAUSER | wolf | As Mulder and Scully drive away, a wolf is heard howling in the forest. | Scully expresses disbelief on seeing Lyle's body, believing they were attacked by a captive mountain lion; Tskany replies that the lion is still in its cage. | As the agents leave, they learn that Gwen has left town, while Ish cryptically warns Mulder, "FBI... See you in about... eight years". | Production "Shapes" was written after executives at Fox had suggested that the series should feature a "more conventional" type of monster, and producers James Wong and Glen Morgan began looking into Native American legends of the Manitou to form the basis of the episode's concept, believing that "a horror show should be able to do these legends that have been around since the thirteen hundreds". | The episode made mention of the first X-File case to have been opened, apparently initiated by J. Edgar Hoover in 1946; whilst it also references the events of the earlier first season episode "Beyond the Sea", as Scully is seen discussing her father's death. " | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shapes%20%28The%20X-Files%29 | Shapes (The X-Files) |
LITERAL | CAUSER | shells | As Pompano ducked under, shells could be heard hitting the water. | A few minutes past midnight on the morning of 7 August, she launched four torpedoes at a large freighter, but all missed. | Two days later, a destroyer sighted Pompano, and opened fire. | Soon a heavy barrage of depth charges exploded close aboard. | Rising water in the engine room necessitated starting the pumps, which brought another heavy barrage. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS%20Pompano%20%28SS-181%29 | USS Pompano (SS-181) |
METONYMIC | CAUSER | fountain | As she is about to leave, she hears the fountain start again, and knows the only person who could have fixed it was Jesse. | She goes outside to wait for Lucas, and they share a dance. | Nova is having a bad time, and when Ali tells her the fountain centerpiece has failed, she cannot take it any more. | He walks up to her and asks her to prom. | She agrees, and they dance followed by a kiss. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prom%20%28film%29 | Prom (film) |
LITERAL | CAUSER | sea | As she sings, the narrator compares her voice to the ocean's; though the woman mimicked the ocean, "it was she and not the sea we heard". | A common theme throughout his poems examines imagination and the concept of creating art. | Summary Overview The narrator and his friend Ramon Fernandez watch as a woman "sang beyond the genius of the sea". | While he ponders over this observation, the woman eventually leaves. | Her singing left a strong impression on him: as he and friend turn towards the town, he sees the world differently. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Idea%20of%20Order%20at%20Key%20West | The Idea of Order at Key West |
METONYMIC | CAUSER | trumpet | As she walked the streets she heard a trumpet practicing as if there was a concert that night. | During this time she learned how to speak a number of languages, including Spanish and Italian, and almost fluent in German. | Günther On February 21, 1957, the 26 year old American violinist Priscilla McClure Johnson found the fairy-tale village of Tübingen, Germany with cobblestone streets, half-timbered houses, huge weeping willow branches overhanging the Neckar river, a beautifully restored medieval center and an old castle that dominates the hillside. | She knocked on the door and asked someone nearby (a young man named Dietrich) if there was a concert that evening. | She was told that there was and he happened to have an extra ticket to it and offered it to her. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priscilla%20Paetsch | Priscilla Paetsch |
LITERAL | CAUSER | bee | As the bee flies from flower to flower, some of the pollen grains are transferred onto the stigma of other flowers. | The bee collects the pollen by rubbing against the anthers. | The pollen collects on the hind legs, in a structure referred to as a "pollen basket". | Nectar provides the energy for bee nutrition; pollen provides the protein. | When bees are rearing large quantities of brood (beekeepers say hives are "building"), bees deliberately gather pollen to meet the nutritional needs of the brood. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollinator | Pollinator |
METONYMIC | CAUSER | brass | As the brass blare out, Wolimhaus believes the Doomsday has arrived, but it is the Queen's arrival and acclaim from the crowd. | Sporre and the noble students sing a serenade to Görvel and city musicians assemble in the castle tower to welcome the queen. | Sporre explains that the wager is no longer valid as the value of the properties has changed because of the fire (as he planned). | Lars is pardoned, is able to marry Elin and Sporre gets his beloved Görvel. | The two prophets are left confounded. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Doomsday%20Prophets | The Doomsday Prophets |
METONYMIC | CAUSER | train | As the engine exploded immediately on impact, Davis's claim to have heard the train before its engine exploded does not fit the official account of the crash. | However, Davis's description of the crash does not align with the timeline he presented. | Most notably, when questioned about the sound of the crash, Davis claimed that it was "not too bad until the engine blew up." | Other members of the growing African-American community in Lincoln attested to his innocence. | This was a period of African Americans leaving the South for better jobs in growing industrial cities. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1894%20Rock%20Island%20railroad%20wreck | 1894 Rock Island railroad wreck |
LITERAL | CAUSER | group | As the group listened to a playback of the chorus, Richie declared that the last part of the line should be changed to "We're 'saving' our own lives". | The guide was recorded on the sixth take, as Jones felt that there was too much "thought" in the previous versions. | Following their work on the vocal guide, Jackson and Jones began thinking of alternatives for the line "There's a chance we're taking, we're taking our own lives": the pair was concerned that the latter part of the line would be considered a reference to suicide. | Jones also suggested altering the former part of the line. " | One thing we don't want to do, especially with this group, is look like we're patting ourselves on the back. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We%20Are%20the%20World | We Are the World |
METONYMIC | CAUSER | synthesizers | As the song develops, a steady bass and synthesizers are heard. | The track starts with a folk-like acoustic guitar riff. | It is followed immediately by Gomez singing the first verse in a husky tone. | The production is subtle and varied with finger snaps sometimes being louder than the kick drum, and the guitar riff and piano notes alternating in and out. | In the chorus, Gomez is accompanied by background vocals that pertain to the sound of a choir. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%20Ain%27t%20Me | It Ain't Me |
LITERAL | CAUSER | shells | As the submarine continued to dive, shells were heard striking her hull. | On 9 June, while the submarine was patrolling on the surface, an enemy plane broke quickly from a low cloud and attacked. | As Snapper quickly dove, one bomb struck directly above the hatch instantly killing one crewman and injuring several others, including the commanding officer. | Upon surfacing, it was found that her pressure hull had not been damaged, but a heavy oil slick indicated a puncture of a fuel oil ballast tank. | Minor repairs were made. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS%20Snapper%20%28SS-185%29 | USS Snapper (SS-185) |
METONYMIC | CAUSER | train | As the train is heard pulling away, Laura is galvanised by emotion, and hearing an approaching express train, suddenly dashes out to the platform. | After shaking Dolly's hand, he discreetly squeezes Laura on the shoulder and leaves. | Laura waits for a moment, anxiously hoping that Alec will walk back into the refreshment room, but he does not. | The lights of the train flash across her face as she conquers a suicidal impulse. | She then returns home to her family. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brief%20Encounter | Brief Encounter |
LITERAL | CAUSER | tree | As their large eyes indicate, squirrels have an excellent sense of vision, which is especially important for the tree-dwelling species. | Squirrels live in almost every habitat, from tropical rainforest to semiarid desert, avoiding only the high polar regions and the driest of deserts. | They are predominantly herbivorous, subsisting on seeds and nuts, but many will eat insects and even small vertebrates. | Many also have a good sense of touch, with vibrissae on their limbs as well as their heads. | The teeth of sciurids follow the typical rodent pattern, with large incisors (for gnawing) that grow throughout life, and cheek teeth (for grinding) that are set back behind a wide gap, or diastema. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squirrel | Squirrel |
METONYMIC | CAUSER | machine | As they depart, Franklin believes he hears the slot machine calling his name. | As they walk, Franklin is given a coin by a drunk man who makes him use it in another machine. | He wins and tells his wife that they should keep the winnings and not lose it back like other people. | He continues to hear this as he tries to sleep. | He gets out of bed, telling his wife he cannot keep "tainted" money, and that he is going to get rid of it by putting it back in the machine. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Fever%20%28The%20Twilight%20Zone%29 | The Fever (The Twilight Zone) |

LITERAL | CAUSER | group | At 12 in 1954, Lymon heard a local doo-wop group known as the Coupe De Villes at a school talent show. | Both also sang in the gospel group The Harlemaires; Frankie and his brothers Lewis and Howie sang with the Harlemaire Juniors (a fourth brother, Timmy, was a singer, though not with the Harlemaire Juniors). | The Lymons struggled to make ends meet, so Lymon began working as a grocery boy at age 10. | He became friends with the lead singer, Herman Santiago, and he eventually became a member of the group, now calling itself both The Ermines and The Premiers. | Dennis Jackson of Columbus, Georgia, was one of the main influences in Lymon's life. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankie%20Lymon | Frankie Lymon |

LITERAL | CAUSER | beep | At 2, a quick beep would be heard, sometimes known as the "2-pop". | The numbers appear right side up when projected on a screen, while the Academy countdown numbers would be upside down. | During the four count, the letters "C C F F" would appear around the countdown, signifying the use of those frames as "control frames." | The Universal Leader is specified by ANSI/SMPTE 55. | The standard also specifies position and placement of the cue marks at the end of the reel. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film%20leader | Film leader |

Tag-ulan" (Summer and Rain). " | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charade%20%28Bee%20Gees%20song%29 | Charade (Bee Gees song) |
METONYMIC | CAUSER | siren | At 8.45 am each morning a siren is heard. | It was founded by the Stanley family as an area for recreation. | In the present day the park offers tennis courts, a children's play area and a cricket field. | It is said to be based in the Queen Elizabeth II dock who use it as their fire alarm and test it each morning. | It has the distinct sound of a World War II siren and has been sounded each morning for at least 50 years. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastham%2C%20Merseyside | Eastham, Merseyside |

LITERAL | CAUSER | symphony | At age 16, Copland heard his first symphony at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. | Copland's first public music performance was at a Wanamaker's recital. | By the age of 15, after attending a concert by Polish composer-pianist Ignacy Jan Paderewski, Copland decided to become a composer. | After attempts to further his music study from a correspondence course, Copland took formal lessons in harmony, theory, and composition from Rubin Goldmark, a noted teacher and composer of American music (who had given George Gershwin three lessons). | Goldmark, with whom Copland studied between 1917 and 1921, gave the young Copland a solid foundation, especially in the Germanic tradition. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron%20Copland | Aaron Copland |
METONYMIC | CAUSER | sea | At least you can hear the sea!", | which made some of the works unintentionally poetic, something that is today remembered with some nostalgia (even today, especially in some of the smaller newspapers, we can find an overly elaborated prose in everyday subjects). | David Mourão Ferreira wrote in the poem that was later sung by Amália Rodrigues as "Fado de Peniche", "At least you can hear the wind! - | in a reference to the political prisoners held in Peniche Fortress, not to the fishermen of the town (fisheries and fish canning have been the most important activity in Peniche for decades). | The objective of this coded wording was to induce in the audience the suspicion of everything being reported and officially sanctioned by the authorities, and let the second meaning be imagined even where there were none. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship%20in%20Portugal | Censorship in Portugal |
METONYMIC | CAUSER | helicopter | At night, the team hears a helicopter approaching, though they cannot spot it. | The next day, they cannot get reception on their radio or GPS. | Their truck, damaged from the ambush, is struggling to move up the mountain. | As their radio is not working, they attempt to signal the helicopter. | As the helicopter, still unseen, seems to be directly on top of them, the noise abruptly stops (something that shouldn't be physically possible). | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Objective | The Objective |
LITERAL | CAUSER | fly | At one point Roger is in the process of being teleported when a fly buzzes into the beam. | This parodies the bar fight scene in the famous Trek episode "The Trouble with Tribbles"—except that in this case, as Roger points out, the Eureka actually is a garbage scow! | This is parodied further when Roger, noticing a warning not to immerse his free pack of space monkeys which he got from a "salesbeast" in alcohol, places them in his drink, causing them to multiply indefinitely (although the "space monkeys" are significantly larger than the sea monkeys they are a parody of). | The teleporter malfunctions, and Roger ends up in a tiny fly body with a human head. | He then must find a way to restore his body, while the fly, in Roger's body with a fly head, acts rather stupidly (even by Roger Wilco standards) and jumps into garbage piles. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space%20Quest%20V | Space Quest V |
LITERAL | CAUSER | hooves | At one point, Nikolai is pursued through the Petersburg mists by the ringing hooves of the famous bronze statue of Peter the Great. | The novel is set in the somewhat hysterical atmosphere of turn-of-the-century Petersburg and the Russian Revolution of 1905. | To the extent that the book can be said to possess a plot, this can be summarized as the story of the hapless Nikolai Apollonovich, a ne'er-do-well who is caught up in revolutionary politics and assigned the task of assassinating a certain government official—his own father. | There are scholars who cite that Petersburg included ideas from Sigmund Freud's therapeutic method such as how psychoanalysis was used as his interpretive tool for literary criticism and a source of creativity. | After the Revolution, Bely wrote two psychological autobiographical novels, highly influenced by Rudolf Steiner's antroposophy, Kotik Letaev (1918) and The Christened Chinaman (1921). | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrei%20Bely | Andrei Bely |
