“Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out” was the second song on Bruce Springsteen’s breakthrough album Born to Run.

The song loosely tells the story of the formation of The E Street Band. The song’s protagonist, “Bad Scooter”, is a pseudonym for Springsteen himself (as indicated by the initials they share). In the third verse, Bad Scooter is saved by “the Big Man” (Clarence Clemons, the band’s saxophonist). After his name is sung, Clemons lets loose a big note on his sax.

The song is upbeat, possibly the most so on the album, with a strong horn section (led by Clemons) and Roy Bittan’s consistent piano chords keeping the rhythm. As stated by Springsteen in the Wings for Wheels documentary, the idea for the composition of the horn intro was Steven Van Zandt’s. Despite all of this, the single was a chart dud, getting no higher than #83 on the Billboard Hot 100. One suspicion for the poor showing on the charts is that the lyrics are difficult to understand, even by rock standards. People who heard it and liked it didn’t know the name of the song.

However, it has always had a following on album-oriented rock radio and amongst Springsteen’s fan base, and has been a regular in Springsteen’s concert tours.

In technical climbing, a skyhook is a very small hook which gives hold on smallest protrusions, or watery and slippery grips.
They are most often used for placements, often extremely marginal, in aid climbing, although they also feature in some extreme free routes. Additionally, the skyhook can be attached to the harness, thus allowing the climber to rest, or held in one or both hands to hold a grip.

In the industry, a skyhook can be used to haul someone or something up to a ceiling for repair or maintenance purpose.

Artifacts are misrepresentations of tissue structures seen in medical images produced by modalities such as Ultrasonography, X-ray Computed Tomography, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging. These artifacts are caused by a variety of mechanisms, such as:

• The underlying physics of the energy-tissue interaction (ie: Ultrasound-air)
• Data acquisition errors (mostly from patient motion)
• A reconstruction algorithm’s inability to represent the anatomy.

Physicians learn to recognize these artifacts to avoid confusing them with real pathology.

A tenancy for years, despite its name, is a lease that is set for a specific period of time determined within a contractual obligation.

Because the term of years tells us from the start when it will end, no notice is necessary to terminate the tenancy.

A tenancy for years greater than 1 year must be in writing in order to satisfy the Statute of Frauds.

In contrast, a Tenancy at will, or rental, is a lease that is set for no formalized period of time, usually for an assumed period of time, which can be changed at will by the renter.

A minor third is the smaller of two commonly occurring musical intervals compounded of two steps of the diatonic scale. The prefix ‘minor’ identifies it as being the smaller of the two (by one semitone); its larger counterpart being a major third. The minor third is abbreviated as m3 and its inversion is the major sixth.

The minor scale is so named because of the presence of this interval between its tonic and mediant (1st and 3rd) scale degrees.
Minor chords too, take their name from the presence of this interval built on the chord’s root (provided that the interval of a perfect fifth from the root is also present or implied).

A minor third in just intonation corresponds to a pitch ratio of 6:5. In an equal tempered tuning, a minor third is equal to three semitones, a ratio of 1:2^3/12 (approximately 1:1.189), or 300 cents, 15.641 cents smaller. In other meantone tunings it is larger, and in 19 equal temperament it is very nearly the 6:5 ratio of just intonation.

Other pitch ratios are given related names, the septimal minor third with ratio 7:6 and the tridecimal minor third with ratio 13:11 in particular.

The minor third is classed as an imperfect consonance and is considered one of the most consonant intervals after the unison, octave, perfect fifth, and perfect fourth.
