Magic (programming)
In the context of computer programming, magic is an informal term for abstraction; it is used to describe code that handles complex tasks while hiding that complexity to present a simple interface.  The term is somewhat tongue-in-cheek, and often carries bad connotations, implying that the true behavior of the code is not immediately apparent.  For example, Perl's polymorphic typing and closure mechanisms are often called "magic".

The term implies that the hidden complexity is at least in principle understandable, in contrast to variants which describe arcane techniques that are deliberately hidden or extremely difficult to understand. However, the term can also be applied endearingly, suggesting a "charm" about the code.

The action of such abstractions is described as being done "automagically", a portmanteau of "automatically" and "magically".

Closure (computer programming)
In programming languages, a closure, also lexical closure or function closure, is a technique for implementing lexically scoped name binding in a language with first-class functions. Operationally, a closure is a record storing a function together with an environment. The environment is a mapping associating each free variable of the function (variables that are used locally, but defined in an enclosing scope) with the value or reference to which the name was bound when the closure was created. Unlike a plain function, a closure allows the function to access those captured variables through the closure's copies of their values or references, even when the function is invoked outside their scope.

Lavender Hill is a suburb on the Cape Flats in Cape Town, South Africa, known for its challenging socio-economic conditions and high levels of violence. It's a community with a history marked by apartheid-era forced removals and persistent gang activity. Despite these difficulties, Lavender Hill is also home to initiatives focused on community development, arts and culture, and providing safe spaces for young people. Created in the early 1970s, it was designed as a dumping ground for "coloured" people removed from areas designated as "white" under the Group Areas Act, including District Six. This history of displacement and social challenges continues to shape the community today.
Tsurumi Line
The Tsurumi Line (Japanese: 鶴見線, romanized: Tsurumi-sen) is a group of 3 railway lines operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East) in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. Originally built to service the port and adjacent industrial area, the lines provide passenger services (especially for local workers) along a line between Tsurumi Station in Tsurumi-ku, Yokohama and Ōgimachi Station in Kawasaki-ku, Kawasaki, and 2 short branches with a total length of track to 9.7 km (6.0 mi). The gauge is 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in), two sections of the line have double track and the line is electrified at 1,500 V DC.

Japan Freight Railway Company (JR Freight) operates on three segments of the line, often to carry petroleum and other chemicals from the numerous refineries and factories in the area. The line is also used to carry jet fuel from the US Navy fuel depot near Anzen Station through the Musashino Line to Yokota Air Base in west Tokyo.

Track gauge
In rail transport, track gauge is the distance between the two rails of a railway track. All vehicles on a rail network must have wheelsets that are compatible with the track gauge. Since many different track gauges exist worldwide, gauge differences often present a barrier to wider operation on railway networks.

The term derives from the metal bar, or gauge, that is used to ensure the distance between the rails is correct.

Railways also deploy two other gauges to ensure compliance with a required standard. A loading gauge is a two-dimensional profile that encompasses a cross-section of the track, a rail vehicle and a maximum-sized load: all rail vehicles and their loads must be contained in the corresponding envelope. A structure gauge specifies the outline into which structures (bridges, platforms, lineside equipment etc.) must not encroach.

Miss Lucy Long
"Miss Lucy Long", also known as "Lucy Long" as well as by other variants, is an American song that was popularized in the blackface minstrel show.

After its introduction to the stage by the Virginia Minstrels in  1843, "Miss Lucy Long" was adopted by rival troupes. George Christy's cross-dressed interpretation standardized the portrayal of the title character and made the song a hit in the United States. "Miss Lucy Long" became the standard closing number for the minstrel show, where it was regularly expanded into a comic skit complete with dialogue.

Versions were printed in more songsters and performed in more minstrel shows than any other popular song in the antebellum period.

In blackface minstrelsy, the name Lucy came to signify any sexually promiscuous woman.

Refrain
A refrain (from Vulgar Latin: refringere, "to repeat", through Old French: refraindre) is the line or lines that are repeated in poetry or in music—the "chorus" of a song. Poetic fixed forms that feature refrains include the villanelle, the virelay, and the sestina.

In popular music, the refrain or chorus may contrast with the verse melodically, rhythmically, and harmonically; it may assume a higher level of dynamics and activity, often with added instrumentation. Chorus form, or strophic form, is a sectional and/or additive way of structuring a piece of music based on the repetition of one formal section or block played.
Neostylopyga rhombifolia
Neostylopyga rhombifolia, the harlequin roach, is a species of flightless cockroach in the family Blattidae. It is a synanthropic species, often found in houses, and it is usually considered a pest. It has been introduced globally to tropical and subtropical regions as a result of trade. Its original native range is unknown, but is believed to be somewhere in tropical Asia.

Harlequin roach adults are around 20 to 27 mm (0.79 to 1.06 in) long. Both males and females are flightless. They lack hindwings, and the forewings (tegminia) are reduced to two small lobes. Both also have distinctive black and yellow patterns. Females are typically larger and stouter than males. Harlequin roaches are popular as pets due to their striking coloration.

Harlequin roaches produce a strong-smelling chemical defense, amyl acetate, that has been compared to almond, cherry, pear, or banana extracts.

The mitochondrial genome of the harlequin roach was sequenced in 2016.

The term includes many animals and plants regarded as pests or weeds, but does not include domesticated species. Common synanthrope habitats include houses, sheds and barns, non-building structures, gardens, parks, farms, road verges and rubbish dumps.
