query: Dragon is related to a Latin word.

pos: Dragon A dragon is a legendary creature , typically scaled or fire-spewing and with serpentine , reptilian or avian traits , that features in the myths of many cultures around world . The two most well-known cultural traditions of dragon are   The European dragon , derived from European folk traditions and ultimately related to Balkans and Western Asian mythologies . Most are depicted as reptilian creatures with animal-level intelligence , and are uniquely six-limbed ( four legs and a separate set of wings ) .  The Chinese dragon , with counterparts in Japan ( namely the Japanese dragon ) , Korea and other East Asian and South Asian countries . Most are depicted as serpentine creatures with above-average intelligence , and are quadrupeds ( four legs and wingless ) .   The two traditions may have evolved separately , but have influenced each other to a certain extent , particularly with the cross-cultural contact of recent centuries . The English word dragon and Latin word draco derives from Greek δράκων ( drákōn ) , `` dragon , serpent of huge size , water-snake '' .

neg: Beowulf Beowulf ( -LSB- ˈbeɪoʊ-wʊlf , _ ˈbiːoʊ -- -RSB- -LSB- ˈbeːo̯ˌwulf -RSB- ) is an Old English epic poem consisting of 3,182 alliterative lines . It may be the oldest surviving long poem in Old English and is commonly cited as one of the most important works of Old English literature . A date of composition is a matter of contention among scholars ; the only certain dating pertains to the manuscript , which was produced between 975 and 1025 . The author was an anonymous Anglo-Saxon poet , referred to by scholars as the `` Beowulf poet '' .   The poem is set in Scandinavia . Beowulf , a hero of the Geats , comes to the aid of Hrothgar , the king of the Danes , whose mead hall in Heorot has been under attack by a monster known as Grendel . After Beowulf slays him , Grendel 's mother attacks the hall and is then also defeated . Victorious , Beowulf goes home to Geatland ( Götaland in modern Sweden ) and later becomes king of the Geats . After a period of fifty years has passed , Beowulf defeats a dragon , but is fatally wounded in the battle . After his death , his attendants cremate his body and erect a tower on a headland in his memory .   The full poem survives in the manuscript known as the Nowell Codex . It has no title in the original manuscript , but has become known by the name of the story 's protagonist . In 1731 , the manuscript was badly damaged by a fire that swept through Ashburnham House in London that had a collection of medieval manuscripts assembled by Sir Robert Bruce Cotton . The Nowell Codex is currently housed in the British Library .

neg: Gladius Gladius ( -LSB- langpronɡleɪdiəs -RSB- glădĭus , -LSB- ˈɡladiʊs -RSB- ) was one Latin word for sword , and is used to represent the primary sword of Ancient Roman foot soldiers . Early ancient Roman swords were similar to those of the Greeks . From the 3rd century BC , the Romans adopted swords similar to those used by the Celtiberians and others during the early part of the conquest of Hispania . This sword was known as the gladius hispaniensis , or Hispanic Sword .   A fully equipped Roman legionary after the reforms of Gaius Marius was armed with a shield ( scutum ) , one or two javelins ( pila ) , a sword ( gladius ) , often a dagger ( pugio ) , and , perhaps in the later Empire period , darts ( plumbatae ) . Conventionally , soldiers threw javelins to disable the enemy 's shields and disrupt enemy formations before engaging in close combat , for which they drew the gladius . A soldier generally led with the shield and thrust with the sword . All gladius types appear to have been suitable for cutting and chopping as well as thrusting .

neg: Gargouille The Gargouille ( also Garguiem , as gargoyle from a word for `` throat '' ) is a dragon from the legend of Saint Romanus of Rouen . The monster does not figure in the older account of the saint 's life , being recorded for the first time in 1394 .   On the left bank of the Seine at Rouen were wild swamps through which rampaged a huge serpent or dragon who `` devoured and destroyed people and beasts of the field '' . Romanus decided to hunt in this area but could only find one man to help him , a man condemned to death who had nothing to lose . They arrived in the serpent 's land and Romanus drew the sign of the cross on the beast . It then lay down at his feet and let Romanus put his stole on him as a leash , in which manner he led it into the town to be condemned to death and burned on the parvis of the cathedral ( or thrown into the Seine according to other authors ) . This legend was the origin for the bishops ' privilege ( lasting until 1790 ) to pardon one prisoner condemned to death each year , by giving the pardoned man or woman the reliquary holding Romanus 's relics in a procession .

neg: Slavic dragon In Slavic mythology , the word `` zmey '' ( Bulgarian and Russian : змей , змеj ) and its cognates zmiy ( żmij , ) and zmaj ( Serbian and Bosnian : змај , Croatian , Slovene : zmaj ) , are used to describe a dragon . These words are masculine forms of the Slavic word for `` snake '' , which are normally feminine ( like Russian zmeya ) .   In Romania , there is a similar figure , derived from the Slavic dragon and named zmeu . In Polish and Belarusian folklore , as well as in the other Slavic folklore , a dragon is also called smok , tsmok .   Although quite similar to other European dragons , Slavic dragons have their peculiarities .

neg: Chivalric romance As a literary genre of high culture , romance or chivalric romance is a type of prose and verse narrative that was popular in the aristocratic circles of High Medieval and Early Modern Europe . They were fantastic stories about marvel-filled adventures , often of a knight-errant portrayed as having heroic qualities , who goes on a quest , yet it is `` the emphasis on love and courtly manners distinguishes it from the chanson de geste and other kinds of epic , in which masculine military heroism predominates . '' Popular literature also drew on themes of romance , but with ironic , satiric or burlesque intent . Romances reworked legends , fairy tales , and history to suit the readers ' and hearers ' tastes , but by c. 1600 they were out of fashion , and Miguel de Cervantes famously burlesqued them in his novel Don Quixote . Still , the modern image of `` medieval '' is more influenced by the romance than by any other medieval genre , and the word medieval evokes knights , distressed damsels , dragons , and other romantic tropes .   Originally , romance literature was written in Old French , Anglo-Norman , Occitan , and Provençal , and later in Portuguese , in Castilian , in English , in Italian ( particularly with the Sicilian poetry ) and German . During the early 13th century , romances were increasingly written as prose . In later romances , particularly those of French origin , there is a marked tendency to emphasize themes of courtly love , such as faithfulness in adversity .

neg: Dord The word dord is a notable error in lexicography , an accidental creation , or ghost word , of the G. and C. Merriam Company 's staff in the New International Dictionary , second edition ( 1934 ) , in which the term is defined as a synonym for density used by physicists and chemists .   Philip Babcock Gove , an editor at Merriam-Webster who became editor-in-chief of Webster 's Third New International Dictionary , wrote a letter to the journal American Speech , fifteen years after the error was caught , in which he explained why `` dord '' was included in that dictionary .   On July 31 , 1931 , Austin M. Patterson , Webster 's chemistry editor , sent in a slip reading `` D or d , cont . / density . '' This was intended to add `` density '' to the existing list of words that the letter `` D '' can abbreviate . The slip somehow went astray , and the phrase `` D or d '' was misinterpreted as a single , run-together word : Dord ( This was a plausible mistake because headwords on slips were typed with spaces between the letters , making `` D or d '' look very much like `` D o r d '' ) . A new slip was prepared for the printer and a part of speech assigned along with a pronunciation . The would-be word got past proofreaders and appeared on page 771 of the dictionary around 1934 . It appeared between the entries for Dorcopsis ( a type of small kangaroo ) and doré ( golden in color . )   On February 28 , 1939 , an editor noticed `` dord '' lacked an etymology and investigated . Soon an order was sent to the printer marked `` plate change/imperative/urgent '' . In 1940 , bound books began appearing without the ghost word but with a new abbreviation ( although inspection of printed copies well into the 1940s show `` dord '' still present ) . The non-word `` dord '' was excised , `` density '' was added as an additional meaning for the abbreviation `` D or d '' as originally intended , and the definition of the adjacent entry `` Doré furnace '' was expanded from `` A furnace for refining dore bullion '' to `` a furnace in which dore bullion is refined '' to close up the space . Gove wrote that this was `` probably too bad , for why should n't dord mean ` density ' ? '' The entry `` dord '' was not removed until 1947 .

neg: Gallo-Roman culture This article covers the culture of Romanized areas of Gaul . For the political history of the brief `` Gallic Empire '' of the third century , see Gallic Empire .   The term Gallo-Roman describes the Romanized culture of Gaul under the rule of the Roman Empire . This was characterized by the Gaulish adoption or adaptation of Roman morals and way of life in a uniquely Gaulish context . The well-studied meld of cultures in Gaul gives historians a model against which to compare and contrast parallel developments of Romanization in other , less-studied Roman provinces .   Interpretatio romana offered Roman names for Gaulish deities such as the smith-god Gobannus , but of Celtic deities only the horse-patroness Epona penetrated Romanized cultures beyond the confines of Gaul .   The barbarian invasions beginning in the early fifth century forced upon Gallo-Roman culture fundamental changes in politics , in the economic underpinning , in military organization . The Gothic settlement of 418 offered a double loyalty , as Western Roman authority disintegrated at Rome . The plight of the highly Romanized governing class is examined by R.W. Mathisen , the struggles of bishop Hilary of Arles by M. Heinzelmann .   Into the seventh century , Gallo-Roman culture would persist particularly in the areas of Gallia Narbonensis that developed into Occitania , Cisalpine Gaul and to a lesser degree , Gallia Aquitania . The formerly Romanized north of Gaul , once it had been occupied by the Franks , would develop into Merovingian culture instead . Roman life , centered on the public events and cultural responsibilities of urban life in the res publica and the sometimes luxurious life of the self-sufficient rural villa system , took longer to collapse in the Gallo-Roman regions , where the Visigoths largely inherited the status quo in 418 . Gallo-Roman language persisted in the northeast into the Silva Carbonaria that formed an effective cultural barrier with the Franks to the north and east , and in the northwest to the lower valley of the Loire , where Gallo-Roman culture interfaced with Frankish culture in a city like Tours and in the person of that Gallo-Roman bishop confronted with Merovingian royals , Gregory of Tours . Based on mutual intelligibility , David Dalby counts seven languages descended from Gallo-Romance : Gallo-Wallon , French , Franco-Provençal ( Arpitan ) , Romansh , Ladin , Friulian , and Lombard . However , other definitions are far broader , variously encompassing the Rhaeto-Romance languages , Occitano-Romance languages , and Gallo-Italic languages .

neg: Dīs Pater Dīs Pater -LSB- diːs ˈpa.tɛr -RSB- was a Roman god of the underworld , later subsumed by Pluto or Hades ( Hades was Greek ) . Originally a chthonic god of riches , fertile agricultural land , and underground mineral wealth , he was later commonly equated with the Roman deities Pluto and Orcus , becoming an underworld deity .   Dīs Pater was commonly shortened to simply Dīs . This name has since become an alternative name for the underworld or a part of the underworld , such as the City of Dis of The Divine Comedy .   It is often thought that Dīs Pater was also a Celtic god . This confusion arises from the second-hand citation of one of Julius Caesar 's comments in his Commentaries on the Gallic Wars VI :18 , where he says that the Gauls all claimed descent from Dīs Pater . However , Caesar 's remark is a clear example of interpretatio Romana : what Caesar meant was that the Gauls all claimed descent from a Gaulish god that reminded him of the Roman Dīs Pater , that is , a chthonic deity associated with prosperity and fertility . Different possible candidates exist for this role in Celtic religion , such as Gaulish Sucellus , Irish Donn and Welsh Beli Mawr , among others .

neg: Latin poetry The history of Latin poetry can be understood as the adaptation of Greek models . The verse comedies of Plautus are considered the earliest surviving examples of Latin literature and are estimated to have been composed around 205-184 BC .   The start of Latin literature is conventionally dated to the first performance of a play in verse by a Greek slave , Livius Andronicus , at Rome in 240 BC . Livius translated Greek New Comedy for Roman audiences , using meters that were basically those of Greek drama , modified to the needs of Latin . His successors Plautus and Terence further refined the borrowings from the Greek stage and the prosody of their verse is substantially the same as for classical Latin verse .   The traditional meter of Greek epic , the dactylic hexameter , was introduced into Latin literature by Ennius ( 239-169 BC ) , virtually a contemporary of Livius , who substituted it for the jerky Saturnian meter in which Livius had been composing epic verses . Ennius moulded a poetic diction and style suited to the imported hexameter , providing a model for ` classical ' poets such as Virgil and Ovid .   The late republic saw the emergence of Neoteric Poets , notably Catullusrich young men from the Italian provinces , conscious of metropolitan sophistication , and looking to the scholarly Alexandrian poet Callimachus for inspiration . Catullus shared the Alexandrian 's preference for short poems and wrote within a variety of meters borrowed from Greece , including Aeolian forms such as hendecasyllabic verse , the Sapphic stanza and Greater Asclepiad , as well as iambic verses such as the choliamb and the iambic tetrameter catalectic ( a dialogue meter borrowed from Old Comedy ) .   Horace , whose career crossed the divide between republic and empire , followed Catullus ' lead in employing Greek lyrical forms , identifying with Alcaeus of Mytilene , composing Alcaic stanzas , and also with Archilochus , composing poetic invectives in the Iambus tradition ( in which he adopted the metrical form of the Epode or ` Iambic Distich ' ) . Horace was a contemporary of Virgil and , like the epic poet , he wrote verses in dactylic hexameter , but in a conversational and epistolary style . Virgil 's hexameters are generally regarded as `` the supreme metrical system of Latin literature . ''

This 100 acre park has a wide gold-sand beach that is over a half-mile ( 800 m ) long . It is man-made and was created by the owner of the Dillingham Dredging Company , who was looking for a place to dispose of his dredged earth . So in the 1950s , sand was dumped at this park , which created the beach .   The water is almost always calm because the beach is protected by an outer reef . This makes it a good spot for long-distance swimmers and small children . There is a 25 ft swimming channel and a former boat channel that was dredged out of the reef .   Ala Moana 's ocean bottom drops quickly , so novice swimmers should use caution . Big grassy areas , banyans and palm trees make the park a good place to picnic , barbecue , play all kinds of ball games or go running . There are lifeguards , showers , restrooms , phones , tennis courts , picnic tables , food concessions and a music pavilion . Ala Moana Beach Park is a favorite among Honolulu residents . It is right next to `` Magic Island '' where many cultural events are held .   Like almost all of Honolulu 's city parks , Ala Moana Beach Park had many homeless people during the day and night , until the city started closing the park for the night in 2006 .

neg: Bookwriter The bookwriter is the member of a musical 's writing team who creates the book -- the musical 's plot , character development , and dramatic structure . Essentially , the bookwriter is the playwright of the musical . He or she works very closely in collaboration with the lyricist and composer to create an integrated piece of drama .   There is a common misconception that the bookwriter merely writes the dialogue ; though the book does include the musical 's spoken text , it is much more than that , defining and organizing the dramatic action of the entire piece , including action that is musicalized by the songwriter ( s ) . Even `` sung-through , '' `` operatic , '' or `` through-composed '' musicals , where there is little , if any , spoken text , require as much contribution from a bookwriter as do musicals with extensive dialogue scenes .   The bookwriter is often also the musical 's lyricist , composer , or director .   Category : Occupations in music

neg: The Mikado The Mikado ; or , The Town of Titipu is a comic opera in two acts , with music by Arthur Sullivan and libretto by W. S. Gilbert , their ninth of fourteen operatic collaborations . It opened on 14 March 1885 , in London , where it ran at the Savoy Theatre for 672 performances , which was the second longest run for any work of musical theatre and one of the longest runs of any theatre piece up to that time.The longest-running piece of musical theatre was the operetta Les Cloches de Corneville , which held the title until Dorothy opening in 1886 , which pushed The Mikado down to third place . Before the end of 1885 , it was estimated that , in Europe and America , at least 150 companies were producing the opera .   The Mikado remains the most frequently performed Savoy Opera , and it is especially popular with amateur and school productions . The work has been translated into numerous languages and is one of the most frequently played musical theatre pieces in history .   Setting the opera in Japan , an exotic locale far away from Britain , allowed Gilbert to satirise British politics and institutions more freely by disguising them as Japanese . Gilbert used foreign or fictional locales in several operas , including The Mikado , Princess Ida , The Gondoliers , Utopia , Limited and The Grand Duke , to soften the impact of his pointed satire of British institutions .

neg: Stanley Theater (Utica, New York) The Stanley Theatre is a historic Baroque movie palace in Utica , New York . Over the years , it has gone through several changes of ownership , but has always been affiliated with Warner Brothers Pictures .   Originally owned by the Stanley-Mark Strand Corporation chain , the Stanley Theatre ( and entire movie theatre chain ) was purchased three days before opening by Warner Brothers . The company was eager to showcase its products on as many screens as possible . The theatre opened on September 10 , 1928 , with the silent movie Ramona starring Dolores del Río .   Thomas W. Lamb , a prolific theatre architect , designed the 2,963 seat cinema for the Mastbaum chain of theatres . The theatre was named for Stanley , one of the Mastbaum brothers . While Lamb and his firm designed over 300 theatres worldwide , he is considered to be somewhat of a local , having owned a camp in the Adirondacks . ( His great grandson lives in the Albany area today . )   The Stanley was built in less than 13 months on the expanding southern edge of downtown , some four blocks away from Utica 's theatre district . Unfortunately , all the theatres located there were razed during the Urban Renewal era of the 1960s and 70s . The Stanley remained open through all of this , though it suffered many years of benign neglect . In 1974 , when the threat of destruction became very real , the Central New York Community Arts Council ( renamed Stanley Center for the Arts in 2008 ) spearheaded a campaign to acquire the property , which it did for $ 135,000 .   The design motif of the Stanley Theatre is dubbed `` Mexican Baroque '' because of its unique blend of styles . The terra cotta and tiled mosaic exterior shows the Mexican influence , while Habsburg lions , Indian faces , and a multitude of angels and cherubs grace the lavish gold leaf Baroque theatre interior . Moorish influence is also evident in the star-splashed ceiling and twisted columns flanking the stage . Legend has it that the grand entry staircase was designed to resemble the main staircase on the Titanic ocean liner .   While the Stanley Theatre continued to be primarily a movie house , it introduced live events early in its history . Today it is host to the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute Great Artists Series ( over 75 years ) ; Broadway Theatre League ( 50 years ) ; Utica Symphony ( over 60 years ) ; and the Mohawk Valley Ballet ( over 25 years ) .   Notable early performers included legendary singers Marian Anderson , Ezio Pinza , Lily Pons , Jeanette MacDonald , and Gene Autry . Later illustrious entertainers included Chuck Mangione , Conway Twitty , Third Eye Blind , Diana Ross , Barry Manilow , and Harry Connick Jr. . The Stanley was also host to multiple appearances by Jerry Seinfeld , Wynton Marsalis , George Carlin , Itzhak Perlman , Bob Weir & RatDog ! , and B.B. King . More recent performances include Aretha Franklin and legendary songwriter Burt Bacharach . The Broadway Theatre League brought in National Touring productions of Cats ( musical ) , Annie , Evita , Sweeney Todd , and Barnum .   The theater was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 . It is significant for its relationship to the early movie industry and its distinctive architecture .

neg: E=MC² (Mariah Carey album) E = MC ² is the eleventh studio album by American singer and songwriter Mariah Carey . It was released in the United States on April 15 , 2008 by Island Records . The singer began recording the album in 2007 in Anguilla , after writing and composing most of its material during and after her 2006 Adventures of Mimi Tour . Carey worked with several notable songwriters and producers during the course of the project , including Jermaine Dupri , Bryan-Michael Cox , Stargate , The-Dream , Tricky Stewart , Scott Storch and Danja .   The album revealed a more personal side of the singer , illustrated in its declarative theme of emancipation from her previous marriage , and from her personal and professional setbacks . Although it shared similar vocal production as well as an inclination to her signature pop and R&B ballads , the album also encompassed a variety of dance-oriented and uptempo styles . It was meant to be a continuation , or a second part of her tenth studio album , The Emancipation of Mimi ( 2005 ) . Carey collaborated with a number of artists on the album , including T-Pain , Damian Marley and Young Jeezy . Though considered by critics very similar to the formula its predecessor had been built on , E = MC ² included other genres she had never explored , such as reggae , and her continued recording of gospel-influenced hymns .   E = MC ² was generally well received by music critics , with many complimenting the record 's broad genre influences , and musical and production styles . Some critics , however , felt that the album was too similar to The Emancipation of Mimi , and did n't offer anything new from the formula . The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 with opening week sales of 463,000 copies ; the highest first-week sales of Carey 's career . It opened inside the top-five on the albums chart in Australia , Canada , Switzerland and the United Kingdom . The album achieved worldwide sales of over 2.5 million copies .   Four singles were commission in promotion of the album . The album 's lead single , `` Touch My Body '' , became Carey 's eighteenth chart topper on the Billboard Hot 100 , making her the solo artist with the most number one singles in United States history , surpassing the record held by Elvis Presley . Additionally , it gave Carey her 79th week atop the chart , tying Presley for most weeks at number one . It achieved strong worldwide charting , peaking within the top five of the singles charts in Italy , Japan , New Zealand , Switzerland and the United Kingdom . `` Bye Bye '' served as the album 's second release . Although hailed by critics , and expected to have achieved large commercial success , the song stalled at number nineteen on the Hot 100 , and managed to chart weakly internationally . Both the third and fourth singles , `` I 'll Be Lovin ' U Long Time '' and `` I Stay in Love '' failed to garner success in any prominent music market .
