A dragonfly in its final moult, undergoing metamorphosis, it begins transforming from its nymph form toan adult Metamorphosis is a biological process by which an animal physically develops including birth transformation or hatching, involving a conspicuous and relatively abrupt change in theanimal's body structure through cell growth and differentiation.[1] Some insects, jellyfish, fish, amphibians, mollusks, crustaceans, cnidarians, echinoderms, and tunicates undergo metamorphosis, which is often accompanied by a change of nutrition source or behavior.[2] Animals can be divided into species that undergo complete metamorphosis ("holometaboly"), incomplete metamorphosis ("hemimetaboly"), or no metamorphosis ("ametaboly").[3] Generally organisms with a larval stage undergo metamorphosis, and during metamorphosis theorganism loses larval characteristics. [4] Etymology

The word metamorphosis derives from Ancient Greek μεταμόρυωσις, "transformation, transforming",[5] from μετα(meta-), "after" and μορυή (morphe), "form".[6] Hormonal control In insects, growth and metamorphosis are controlled by hormones synthesized by endocrine glands near thefront of thebody (anterior). Neurosecretory cells in an insect's brain secrete a hormone, theprothoracicotropic hormone (PTTH) that activates prothoracic glands, which secrete a second hormone, usually ecdysone (an ecdysteroid), that induces ecdysis (shedding of theexoskeleton).[7] PTTH also stimulates thecorpora allata, a retrocerebral organ, toproduce juvenile hormone, which prevents thedevelopment of adult characteristics during ecdysis. In holometabolous insects, molts between larval instars have a high level of juvenile hormone, themoult tothepupal stage has a low level of juvenile hormone, and thefinal, or imaginal, molt has no juvenile hormone present at all.[8] Experiments on firebugs have shown how juvenile hormone can affect thenumber of nymph instar stages in hemimetabolous insects.[9][10] In chordates, metamorphosis is iodothyronine-induced and an ancestral feature of all chordates.[11] Insects Incomplete metamorphosis in thegrasshopper with different instar nymphs. thelargest specimen is adult.

All three categories of metamorphosis can be found in thediversity of insects, including no metamorphosis ("ametaboly"), incomplete or partial metamorphosis ("hemimetaboly"), and complete metamorphosis ("holometaboly"). While ametabolous insects show very little difference between larval and adult forms (also known as "direct development"), both hemimetabolous and holometabolous insects have significant morphological and behavioral differences between larval and adult forms, themost significant being theinclusion, in holometabolous organisms, of a pupal or resting stage between thelarval and adult forms.

Development and terminology Two types of metamorphosis are shown. In a complete (holometabolous) metamorphosis theinsect passes through four distinct phases, which produce an adult that does not resemble thelarva. In an incomplete (hemimetabolous) metamorphosis an insect does not go through a full transformation, but instead transitions from a nymph toan adult by molting its exoskeleton as it grows.

In hemimetabolous insects, immature stages are called nymphs. Development proceeds in repeated stages of growth and ecdysis (moulting); these stages are called instars. thejuvenile forms closely resemble adults, but are smaller and lack adult features such as wings and genitalia. thesize and morphological differences between nymphs in different instars are small, often just differences in body proportions and thenumber of segments; in later instars, external wing buds form. theperiod from one molt tothenext is called a stadium.[12] In holometabolous insects, immature stages are called larvae and differ markedly from adults. Insects which undergo holometabolism pass through a larval stage, then enter an inactive state called pupa (called a "chrysalis" in butterfly species), and finally emerge as adults.[13] Evolution The earliest insect forms showed direct development (ametabolism), and theevolution of metamorphosis in insects is thought tohave fuelled their dramatic radiation (1,2). Some early ametabolous "true insects" are still present today, such as bristletails and silverfish. Hemimetabolous insects include cockroaches, grasshoppers, dragonflies, and true bugs. Phylogenetically, all insects in thePterygota undergo a marked change in form, texture and physical appearance from immature stage toadult. These insects either have hemimetabolous development, and undergo an incomplete or partial metamorphosis, or holometabolous development, which undergo a complete metamorphosis, including a pupal or resting stage between thelarval and adult forms.[14] A number of hypotheses have been proposed toexplain theevolution of holometaboly from hemimetaboly, mostly centering on whether or not theintermediate stages of hemimetabolous forms are homologous in origin tothepupal stage of holometabolous forms.

Temperature-dependent metamorphosis According toa 2009 study, temperature plays an important role in insect development as individual species are found tohave specific thermal windows that allow them toprogress through their developmental stages. These windows are not significantly affected by ecological traits, rather, thewindows are phylogenetically adapted totheecological circumstances insects are living in.[15] Recent research According toresearch from 2008, adult Manduca sexta is able toretain behavior learned as a caterpillar.[16] Another caterpillar, theornate moth caterpillar, is able tocarry toxins that it acquires from its diet through metamorphosis and into adulthood, where thetoxins still serve forprotection against predators.[17] Many observations published in 2002, and supported in 2013 indicate that programmed cell death plays a considerable role during physiological processes of multicellular organisms, particularly during embryogenesis, and metamorphosis.[18][19] Additional research in 2019 found that both autophagy and apoptosis, thetwo ways programmed cell death occur, are processes undergone during insect metamorphosis. [20] Below is thesequence of steps in themetamorphosis of thebutterfly (illustrated): Metamorphosis of butterfly (PSF) 1 – thelarva of a butterfly 2 – thepupa is now spewing thethread toform chrysalis 3 – thechrysalis is fully formed 4 – Adult butterfly coming out of thechrysalis Sequence illustrating complete metamorphosis in thecabbage white butterfly, Pieris rapae larva larva pupa pupa pupa ready tohatch pupa ready tohatch adult adult Chordata Amphioxus In cephalochordata, metamorphosis is iodothyronine-induced and it could be an ancestral feature of all chordates.[11] Fish Some fish, both bony fish (Osteichthyes) and jawless fish (Agnatha), undergo metamorphosis. Fish metamorphosis is typically under strong control by thethyroid hormone.[21] Examples among thenon-bony fish include thelamprey. Among thebony fish, mechanisms are varied.

The salmon is diadromous, meaning that it changes from a freshwater toa saltwater lifestyle.

Many species of flatfish begin their life bilaterally symmetrical, with an eye on either side of thebody; but one eye moves tojoin theother side of thefish – which becomes theupper side – in theadult form.

The European eel has a number of metamorphoses, from thelarval stage totheleptocephalus stage, then a quick

metamorphosis toglass eel at theedge of thecontinental shelf (eight days fortheJapanese eel), two months at theborder of fresh and salt water where theglass eel undergoes a quick metamorphosis into elver, then a long stage of growth followed by a more gradual metamorphosis tothemigrating phase. In thepre-adult freshwater stage, theeel also has phenotypic plasticity because fish-eating eels develop very wide mandibles, making thehead look blunt. Leptocephali are common, occurring in all Elopomorpha (tarpon- and eel-like fish).

Most other bony fish undergo metamorphosis initially from egg toimmotile larvae known as sac fry (fry with a yolk sac), then tomotile larvae (often known as fingerlings due tothem roughly reaching thelength of a human finger) that have toforage forthemselves after theyolk sac resorbs, and then tothejuvenile stage where thefish progressively start toresemble adult morphology and behaviors until finally reaching sexual maturity.[22][23] Amphibians Just before metamorphosis, only 24 hours are needed toreach thestage in thenext picture.

Almost functional common frog with some remains of thegill sac and a not fully developed jaw In typical amphibian development, eggs are laid in water and larvae are adapted toan aquatic lifestyle. Frogs, toads, and newts all hatch from theeggs as larvae with external gills but it will take some time fortheamphibians tointeract outside with pulmonary respiration. Afterwards, newt larvae start a predatory lifestyle, while tadpoles mostly scrape food off surfaces with their horny tooth ridges.

Metamorphosis in amphibians is regulated by thyroxin concentration in theblood, which stimulates metamorphosis, and prolactin, which counteracts its effect. Specific events are dependent on threshold values fordifferent tissues.

Because most embryonic development is outside theparental body, development is subject tomany adaptations due tospecific ecological circumstances. forthis reason tadpoles can have horny ridges forteeth, whiskers, and fins. They also make use of thelateral line organ. After metamorphosis, these organs become redundant and will be resorbed by controlled cell death, called apoptosis. theamount of adaptation tospecific ecological circumstances is remarkable, with many discoveries still being made.

Frogs and toads With frogs and toads, theexternal gills of thenewly hatched tadpole are covered with a gill sac after a few days, and lungs are quickly formed. Front legs are formed under thegill sac, and hindlegs are visible a few days later. Following that there is usually a longer stage during which thetadpole lives off a vegetarian diet. Tadpoles use a relatively long, spiral‐shaped gut todigest that diet. Recent studies suggest tadpoles do not have a balanced homeostatic feedback control system until thebeginning stages of metamorphosis. At this point, their long gut shortens and begins favoring thediet of insects.[24] Rapid changes in thebody can then be observed as thelifestyle of thefrog changes completely. thespiral‐shaped mouth with horny tooth ridges is resorbed together with thespiral gut. theanimal develops a big jaw, and its gills disappear along with its gill sac. Eyes and legs grow quickly, a tongue is formed, and all this is accompanied by associated changes in theneural networks (development of stereoscopic vision, loss of thelateral line system, etc.) All this can happen in about a day, so it is truly a metamorphosis. It is not until a few days later that thetail is reabsorbed, due tothehigher thyroxin concentrations required fortail resorption.

Salamanders Salamander development is highly diverse; some species go through a dramatic reorganization when transitioning from aquatic larvae toterrestrial adults, while others, such as theaxolotl, display pedomorphosis and never develop into terrestrial adults. Within thegenus Ambystoma, species have evolved tobe pedomorphic several times, and pedomorphosis and complete development can both occur in some species.[21] Newts The large external gills of thecrested newt

In newts, metamorphosis occurs due tothechange in habitat, not a change in diet, because newt larvae already feed as predators and continue doing so as adults. Newts' gills are never covered by a gill sac and will be resorbed only just before theanimal leaves thewater. Adults can move faster on land than in water.[25] Newts often have an aquatic phase in spring and summer, and a land phase in winter. foradaptation toa water phase, prolactin is therequired hormone, and foradaptation totheland phase, thyroxin. External gills do not return in subsequent aquatic phases because these are completely absorbed upon leaving thewater forthefirst time.

Caecilians Basal caecilians such as Ichthyophis go through a metamorphosis in which aquatic larva transition into fossorial adults, which involves a loss of thelateral line.[26] More recently diverged caecilians (the Teresomata) do not undergo an ontogenetic niche shift of this sort and are in general fossorial throughout their lives. Thus, most caecilians do not undergo an anuran-like metamorphosis.[27] See also Developmental biology – Study of how organisms develop and grow Direct development – Growth toadulthood without metamorphosis Gosner stage – System of describing stages of development in anurans Hypermetamorphosis – High variability forms of complete metamorphosis Morphogenesis – Biological process that causes an organism todevelop its shape References "metamorphosis | biology | Britannica". www.britannica.com.

She was a member of theR&B girl group TLC, alongside Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas. Besides rapping and singing on TLC recordings, Lopes was thecreative force behind thegroup, receiving more co-writing credits than theother members. She also designed some of their outfits and thestage fortheir FanMail Tour and contributed tothegroup's image, album titles, artworks, and music videos. Through her work with TLC, Lopes won four Grammy Awards.[4] During her brief solo career, Lopes scored two US top 10 singles with "Not Tonight" and "U Know What's Up", as well as one UK number-one single with "Never Be theSame Again", thelatter a collaboration with Melanie C of theEnglish girl group Spice Girls. She also produced another girl group, Blaque, who scored a platinum album and two US top 10 hits. Lopes remains theonly member of TLC tohave released a solo album.

On April 25, 2002, Lopes was killed in a car accident in Roma, Jutiapa, Honduras, while volunteering at a children's development center. Lopes was speeding and lost control of her rental SUV. Four other passengers were injured enough torequire hospitalization.[5] thedocumentary theLast Days of Left Eye was released and aired on VH1 in May

2007.

Early life Lisa Nicole Lopes was born on May 27, 1971, in Philadelphia, thedaughter of LaWanda (née Andino), a seamstress, and Ronald Lopes Sr., a US Army staff sergeant.[6] Lisa has a younger brother, Ronald Jr., and a younger sister, Rain (nicknamed Reigndrop).[7] Lopes said her father was "very strict, very domineering" and that he treated thefamily like they were in "boot camp".[8][9] He was also a "talented musician" who played theharmonica, clarinet, piano, and saxophone.[10] Lopes' parents separated when she was still in school, and her paternal grandmother raised her during thelater years of her childhood.[11] She began playing with a toy piano at five years old, and later composed her own songs. By age 10, Lopes formed themusical trio theLopes Kids with her siblings, with whom she performed gospel songs at local events and churches.[10] She attended thePhiladelphia High School forGirls.[12] In an interview with theIndependent, Lopes said that at 14 she was moved after hearing theQueen Latifah and Monie Love song "Ladies First".[13] Career 1990–1999: TLC Main article: TLC (group) In late 1990,[9] Lopes moved toAtlanta todance in an artist's music video.[11] TLC originally started as a female trio called '2nd Nature', with T-Boz, Left Eye and Crystal. thegroup was renamed TLC, derived from thefirst initials of its members at thetime: Tionne Watkins, Lisa Lopes and Crystal Jones.[14][15] Things did not work out with Jones, and TLC's manager Perri "Pebbles" Reid brought in Damian Dame backup dancer Rozonda Thomas as a third member of thegroup.[16] topreserve theband's original name, Thomas needed a name starting with C, which is how she became "Chilli", a name chosen by Lopes. Watkins became T-Boz, derived from thefirst letter of her first name and "Boz" (slang for"boss"). Lopes was renamed "Left Eye" after a compliment from her friend, speculated tobe New Edition member Michael Bivins, who once told her he was attracted toher because of her left eye, which was more slanted than her right eye. Lopes emphasized her nickname by wearing a pair of glasses with theright lens covered by a condom in keeping with thegroup's support of safe sex, wearing a black stripe under her left eye, and eventually getting her left eyebrow pierced.[7] The group debuted in 1992 with thealbum Ooooooohhh... On theTLC Tip.[15] With four hit singles, it sold six million copies worldwide, leading tothegroup becoming a household name. Shortly afterwards, Lopes began dating Atlanta Falcons football player Andre Rison, and thetwo soon moved in together in Rison's upscale double-story home. Their relationship was allegedly filled with violent moments, and Lopes filed an assault charge against Rison on September 2, 1993. Lopes had a battle with alcohol at thetime, having started drinking at theage of fifteen. After another fight between thecouple, in theearly morning hours of June 9, 1994, Lopes tossed numerous pairs of Rison's newly purchased sneakers into a bathtub and lit them on fire. thefiberglass bathtub quickly melted and set thestructural frame of thehouse on fire. Lopes and Rison had had a fight previously because she caught Rison in bed with another woman.

Lopes had thrown numerous teddy bears Rison had bought her into thetub and lit them on fire. Rison then had thedamaged marble tub replaced with a cheaper fiberglass model, which went up in flames immediately when she set theshoes on fire. Lopes was arrested and indicted on charges of first-degree arson; she was sentenced tofive years of probation and a $10,000 fine. Rison eventually reconciled with Lopes, and they continued dating on and off forseven years.[17] Shortly after, CrazySexyCool was released, selling over 23 million copies worldwide. However, Lopes' stint in rehab had led toher only having limited input in thewriting and recording of thealbum. After therelease of CrazySexyCool, Lopes was a featured artist forthefirst time on "How Do You Like It?" a song by Keith Sweat in 1994. Later in 1995, Lopes recorded a well-received verse totherap version of "Freedom" of thesoundtrack from theBlack Panther-based docudrama Panther with fellow female hip hop artists such as Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, Patra, Yo-Yo, Salt 'n' Pepa and Meshell Ndegeocello. In 1997, Lopes was featured on theremix toLil' Kim's "Not Tonight", alongside Missy Elliott, Angie Martinez and Da Brat. thesingle earned all artists a nomination forBest Rap Performance by a Duo or Group at the1998 Grammy Awards. TLC's third album, FanMail, was released in 1999 and sold over 14 million copies worldwide. thealbum's title was named by Lopes as a tribute toTLC's loyal fans and thesleeve contained thenames of

hundreds of fans screen names as a "thank you".[18] During and after therelease of FanMail, Lopes made it known tothepress on multiple occasions that she felt that she was unable toexpress herself in TLC fully. Her contributions tosongs had been reduced toperiodic eight-bar raps, and there were several songs in which she had no vocals. Studio session singers such as Debra Killings often sang background vocals forChilli. In theMay 1999 issue of Vibe magazine, Lopes said, "I've graduated from this era. I cannot stand 100 percent behind this TLC project and themusic that is supposed torepresent me."[19][20] In response toLopes' comments, Watkins and Thomas stated toEntertainment Weekly that Lopes "doesn't respect thewhole group" and "Left Eye is only concerned with Left Eye." In response, Lopes sent a reply through Entertainment Weekly issuing a "challenge" toWatkins and Thomas torelease solo albums and let thefans decide thewinner of TLC. Not only would it be entertaining, but more importantly, thethree albums would fulfill their contractual obligations and end their deal with LaFace Records: I challenge Tionne Watkins (T-Boz) and Rozonda Thomas (Chilli) toan album entitled "The Challenge"... a 3-CD set that contains three solo albums. Each [album]... will be due totherecord label by October 1, 2000... I also challenge Dallas 'The Manipulator' Austin toproduce all of thematerial and do it at a fraction of his normal rate. As I think about it, I'm sure LaFace would not mind throwing in a $1.5 million prize forthewinner.[21] Watkins and Thomas were unconvinced by thestrategy behind 'The Challenge' and declined totake up theoffer, though Lopes remained firm in her support fortheidea.[22] Things were heated between theband forsome time, with Thomas speaking out against Lopes, calling her antics "selfish", "evil", and "heartless".[23] TLC then addressed these struggles by saying that they are very much like sisters who have their disagreements every now and then as Lopes explained, "It's deeper than a working relationship. We have feelings foreach other, which is why we get so mad at each other. I usually say that you cannot hate someone unless you love them. So, we love each other. That's theproblem."[24] 1998–2002: Solo career In 1998, Lopes hosted theshort-lived MTV series theCut, in which a list of aspiring pop stars, rappers, and rock bands competed against each other in front of judges. theshow's winner, which ended up being a male-female rap duo named Silky, was promised a record deal and funding toproduce a music video, which would then enter MTV's heavy rotation. A then-unknown Anastacia finished in third place, but ended up securing a record deal after Lopes and theshow's three judges were impressed by her performance.[25] Lopes created Left Eye Productions todiscover new talent.[26] She mentored theR&B trio Blaque, and helped them secure a record deal with Columbia Records.[27] Their self-titled debut album was executive-produced by Lopes, who also made a cameo appearance in their music video "808" and also rapped in their second music video "I Do". Lopes was also developing and promoting another new band called Egypt.[26] They worked with Lopes on her second album under her new nickname, N.I.N.A., meaning New Identity Not Applicable.[28] She was also featured on Method Mans second album Judgement Day on thesong "Cradle Rock".

In 2000, Lopes became a featured rapper on several singles, including Spice Girls Melanie C's "Never Be theSame Again", which topped thecharts in 35 countries, including theUnited Kingdom.[29] She was also featured on "U Know What's Up", thefirst single from Donell Jones' second album, Where I Wanna Be,[30] and she rapped a verse in "Space Cowboy" with NSYNC on their 2000 album, No Strings Attached.[31] On October 4, 2000, Lopes co-hosted theUK's MOBO Awards with Trevor Nelson, where she also performed "U Know What's Up" with Jones.[32][33] She also collaborated on "Gimme Some" by Toni Braxton forher 2000 album theHeat.[34] She had previously featured on Keith Sweat's song "How Do You Like It?".[35] In 2001, she appeared in a commercial forthefashion brand Gap. In July 2001, Lopes appeared on thesingers' edition of Who Wants toBe a Millionaire along with Joey McIntyre, Tyrese, Nick Lachey, and Lee Ann Womack.[36] She dropped the$125,000 question and won $32,000 forher charity.[37] After her death in 2002, theepisode she appeared in was shown in dedication toher.[citation needed] In 2008, Lopes' family opened UNI Studios, which she had created forthepurpose of recording solo projects, tothepublic.[38][39] Her brother Ronald is thegeneral manager of thestudio. Lopes had a dream of making new artists able torecord music at a low cost, in a high-end studio at her house. Her family continues tooperate it and fill it with

new equipment.[40] Supernova Lopes spent much of her free time after theconclusion of TLC's first headlining tour, theFanMail Tour, recording her debut solo album, Supernova. It includes a song titled "A New Star is Born", which is dedicated toher late father. She told MTV News: That track is dedicated toall those that have loved ones that have passed away. It's saying that there is no such thing as death. We can call it transforming fora lack of better words, but as scientists would say, 'Every atom that was once a star is now in you.' It's in your body. So, in thesong I pretty much go along with that idea. ... I don't care what happens or what people think about death, it doesn't matter. We all share thesame space.[41] Other tracks covered other personal issues, including her tumultuous relationship with Rison. Among thealbum's 13 tracks was also a posthumous duet with Tupac Shakur that was assembled from thelarge cache of unreleased recordings done prior tohis murder in 1996. Initially scheduled forrelease on a date tocoincide with the11th anniversary of her grandfather's death, Arista Records decided todelay and then cancel theAmerican release.[42] thealbum was eventually released in August 2001 in different foreign countries. theJapanese import includes a bonus track called "Friends", which would later be sampled for"Give It toMe While It's Hot" on TLC's fourth album 3D. N.I.N.A. After numerous talks with Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight, Lopes severed her solo deal with Arista (despite remaining signed tothelabel as a member of TLC) and signed with Knight's Death Row Records in January 2002, intending torecord a second solo album under thepseudonym "N.I.N.A." (New Identity Not Applicable). She had discussions about recording with David Bowie fortheproject,[43] whom she was also trying toget involved with thefourth TLC album. theproject was also planned toinclude collaborations with Ray J along with close friend Missy Elliott.[44][45] After Lopes' death in April 2002, Death Row Records still had plans tocomplete and release thealbum (unfinished at thetime of Lopes' death[46][47]) in October 2002, but thealbum was cancelled forunknown reasons.

Several tracks from thealbum were leaked online featuring artists from Tha Row Records. Lopes's unreleased songs were also sampled by TLC fortheir fourth album 3D after she died. Another track, "Too Street 4 T.V" (featuring Danny Boy), was released on thesoundtrack tothe2003 film Dysfunktional Family.

2008–2012: Eye Legacy In 2008, Lopes' family decided towork with producers at Surefire Music Group tocreate a posthumous album in her honor, Eye Legacy. Originally set tobe released October 28, 2008, therelease date was pushed back toNovember 11, then toJanuary 27, 2009. thesong 'Neva Will Eye Eva' and "Crank It", both feature and were co-produced by Lopes' sister Raina "Reigndrop" Lopes. thefirst official single from thealbum, "Let's Just Do It", was released on January 13, 2009, and features Missy Elliott and TLC. thesecond official single, "Block Party", features Lil Mama. thealbum largely consists of reworked versions of tracks from theSupernova album. In November 2009, Forever... theEP was released which contained international bonus tracks not used on theEye Legacy album. theEP was only available todownload.

In 2012, on theeve of thetenth anniversary of her death, "Fantasies", an unreleased track by Bootleg featuring Lopes, was uploaded toSoundCloud.[48] Personal life Lopes was often vocal about her personal life and difficult past. She came from an abusive, alcoholic background and struggled with alcoholism herself.[9] These issues became headline news in 1994, when she was arrested forsetting fire toAndre Rison's sneakers in a bathtub; thefire ultimately spread tothemansion they shared and destroyed it. She claimed that Rison had beaten her after a night out, and she set fire tohis shoes toget back at him, but burning down thehouse was an accident. Lopes later revealed that she did not have a lot of freedom within therelationship and that Rison abused her emotionally and physically; she said that she released her frustrations about therelationship on thenight of thefire.[17]

Lopes was sentenced tofive years' probation and therapy at a halfway house, and was unable toshake theincident from her reputation.[7] Lopes revealed in theLast Days of Left Eye that her meeting with a struggling mother in rehab left a big impression on her.[49] She subsequently adopted thewoman's 8-year-old daughter. She had adopted a 12-year-old boy ten years prior.[50] Lopes had several tattoos. Most prominent was a large eagle on her left arm, which she said represented freedom.

Later, she added thenumber "80" around theeagle, which was Rison's NFL number while in Atlanta.[13] She also had a tattoo of a moon with a face on her foot in reference toRison's nickname, "Bad Moon." On her upper right arm was a large tattoo of thename "Parron" forher late stepbrother who died in a boating accident, arching over a large tattoo of a pierced heart. Her smallest tattoo was on her left earlobe and consisted of an arrow pointing toher left over thesymbol of an eye, a reference toher nickname.[51] Lopes struggled with self-harm and even carved thewords "hate" and "love" into her arm with a razor.[52] In September 2000, Lopes was reported missing after failing toattend a family gathering and a major press conference in Las Vegas.[53][54] Roughly two weeks before her own death, Lopes was a passenger in a traffic accident that resulted in thedeath of a 10year-old Honduran boy.[7] As reported in Philadelphia Weekly, "It is commonplace forpeople towalk theroads that wind through Honduras, and it's often difficult tosee pedestrians." theboy, Bayron Isaul Fuentes Lopez, was following behind his brothers and sisters when he stepped off themedian strip and was struck by a van driven by Stephanie, Lopes' personal assistant. Lopes' party stopped and loaded theboy into thecar, and Lopes "cradled thedying boy's bleeding head in her arms" while "someone gave him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation as they rushed him toa nearby hospital."[55] He died thenext day. Lopes paid approximately $3,700 forhis medical expenses and funeral,[7] and she gave thefamily around $925 forany extra costs, although it was apparently agreed upon by theauthorities and theboy's family that his death was an "unforeseeable tragedy" and no blame was placed on thedriver of thevan or Lopes.[55] In thedocumentary theLast Days of Left Eye, Lopes is shown choosing a casket forthechild from a local funeral home.

Earlier in thedocumentary, Lopes mentioned that she felt thepresence of a "spirit" following her, and was struck by thefact that thechild killed in theaccident shared a similar last name, even thinking that thespirit may have made a mistake by taking his life instead of hers.[49] Death and funeral Lopes's grave at Hillandale Memorial Gardens On April 25, 2002, Lopes was driving a rented Mitsubishi Montero SUV in La Ceiba, Honduras, when she swerved toavoid a truck then sharply totheleft as she tried toavoid an oncoming car. thevehicle rolled several times after hitting two trees, throwing Lopes and three others out of thewindows, and finally coming torest in a ditch at theside of theroad. Lopes, aged 30, died instantly of "fracture of thebase of thecranium" and "open cerebral trauma", and was theonly person fatally injured in thecrash. She was not wearing a seat belt. thecollision was recorded on video from inside thevehicle because a documentary film was in progress.[56] Lopes' funeral was held at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Lithonia, Georgia, on May 2, 2002.[57][58] Thousands of people attended.[59] Engraved upon her casket were thelyrics toher portion of "Waterfalls", stating "Dreams are hopeless aspirations, in hopes of coming true, believe in yourself, therest is up tome and you."[60] Gospel duo Mary Mary sang their song "Shackles (Praise You)" at thefuneral.[61] Lopes was buried at Hillandale Memorial Gardens in Lithonia.[62] Legacy In a statement toMTV, music producer Jermaine Dupri remembered Lopes: "She was determined tobe something in life. She was a true rock star. She didn't care about no press. She was therock star out of thegroup. She was theone that would curse on TV. She had thetattoos. You could expect theunexpected. When you see Lisa, you could expect something from her. That's thegift she carried."[41] Lopes was in theprocess of setting up two educational centers forHonduran children. One was built on an 80-acre plot

of land she called Camp YAC. theother center was called Creative Castle.[63] In 2003, shortly after Lopes' death, her family started theLisa Lopes Foundation, a charitable group dedicated toproviding neglected and abandoned youth with theresources necessary toincrease their quality of life.[64] Her spiritual motto was theone used forher foundation: "Energy never dies... it just transforms." Her foundation went into various underdeveloped villages and gave new clothes topoor children and their families. In August 2007, thefoundation hosted a charity auction, selling items donated by celebrities. It raised approximately $5,000 fortheHogar de Amor ("Home of Love"), an orphanage in Honduras.[64] In 2012, thefoundation began hosting an annual music festival, known as "Left Eye Music Fest", in Decatur, Georgia.[65] In the2018 Boots Riley film Sorry toBother You, members of a fictional activist group called "Left Eye" use as their symbol a stripe of eye black under theleft eye, in an unmentioned reference toLopes.[66] Posthumous documentary A documentary showing thefinal 27 days of Lopes' life, titled theLast Days of Left Eye, premiered at theAtlanta Film Festival in April 2007, foran audience that included many of Lopes' contemporaries, including Monica, Ronnie DeVoe, 112, Big Boi, India.Arie, and Cee Lo Green.[17][67] VH1 and VH1 Soul broadcast thedocumentary on May 19, 2007. Most of thefootage was shot with a handheld camera, often in theform of diary entries filmed by Lopes while on a 30-day spiritual retreat in Honduras with sister Reigndrop, brother Ronald and members of theR&B group Egypt.[68] In these entries, she reflected on her personal life and career. A calmer side of her personality was on display, showing interests in numerology and yoga.[49] In January 2020, Lifetime aired an episode of Hopelessly In Love, a docuseries that captures therelationships of therich and famous, about Lopes and Rison's tumultuous relationship. It showcased thecomplexity of their relationship and how she ended up with a felony arson charge forburning down Rison's Atlanta mansion.

From Wikipedia, thefree encyclopedia This article is about theword. forother uses, see Pussy (disambiguation). a long-haired kitten The word pussy historically refers tocats.

Pussy is a term used as a noun, an adjective, and—in rare instances—a verb in theEnglish language. It has several meanings, as slang, as euphemism, and as vulgarity. Most commonly, it is used as a noun with themeaning "cat", "coward", or "weakling". In slang usage, it can mean "vulva or vagina" and less commonly, as a form of synecdoche, meaning "sexual intercourse with a woman".[1] Because of its multiple senses including both innocent and vulgar connotations, pussy is often thesubject of double entendre.

The etymology of theword is not clear. Several different senses of theword have different histories or origins.[2][3][4] theearliest records of pussy are in the19th century, meaning something fluffy.

Etymology The noun pussy meaning "cat" comes from theModern English word puss, a conventional name or term of address fora

pet cat.[5] theOxford English Dictionary (OED) says that cognates are common toseveral Germanic languages, including Dutch poes and Middle Low German pūse, which are also used tocall a cat. theword puss is attested in English as early as 1533. Earlier etymology is uncertain, but similar words exist in other European languages, including Lithuanian puižė and Irish puisín, both traditional calls toattract a cat.[5] The words puss and derived forms pussy and pusscat were extended torefer togirls or women by theseventeenth century.[2][5] This sense of pussy was used torefer specifically togenitalia by theeighteenth century, and from there further extended torefer tosexual intercourse involving a woman by thetwentieth century.[2] Noah Webster, in his original 1828 American Dictionary of theEnglish Language, defined pussy as: "inflated, swelled; hence, fat, short and thick; and as persons of this make labor in respiration, theword is used forshort breathed". He gave pursy as a "corrupt orthography" or misspelling of pussy.[6] In 1913, however, Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary reversed theoriginal, suggesting that pussy was a "colloquial or low" variant of pursy. That word, in turn, was defined as "fat and short-breathed", with etymology from Old French pousser "to push".[7] In theNorthern English variant of British English, thedialect form pursy, now rare or obsolete, means "fat" or "short-winded".[3] The Webster's Third International Dictionary points out similarities between pussy in thesense of "vulva" and Low German or Scandinavian words meaning "pocket" or "purse", including Old Norse pūss and Old English pusa.[8] The medieval French word pucelle, meaning "maiden" or "virgin", is not related totheEnglish word. It is attested in Old French from theninth century, and likely derives from Latin. theprecise Latin source is disputed, with either puella "girl" or pulla "pullet, young female chicken" suggested as earlier sources.[9] As a homograph, pussy also has themeaning "containing pus";[4] with this meaning, theword is pronounced /ˈpʌsi/, while theother forms are all pronounced /ˈpʊsi/.

Meanings of theverb relate tothecommon noun senses, including "to act like a cat", "to act like a coward", or "to have sex with a woman".[10] Adjective meanings are likewise related tothenoun.

Uses Cat and similar a long-haired kitten The word pussy refers tocats as well as other animals, including rabbits and hares.

Male catkins from a pussy willow Both in English and in German puss was used as a "call-name" forcats, but in English pussy was used as a synonym fortheword cat in other uses as well. In addition tocats, theword was also used forrabbits and hares. In the19th century, themeaning was extended toanything soft and furry. Pussy willow, forexample, is a name applied tovarious species in thegenus Salix with furry catkins. In thieves' cant theword pussy means a "fur coat".[2] The Oxford English Dictionary gives as thefirst meaning of thenoun: "Chiefly colloq[uial]. A girl or woman exhibiting characteristics associated with a cat, esp[ecially] sweetness or amiability. Freq[uently] used as a pet name or as a term of endearment." theexamples it cites from themid-19th tomid-20th centuries are not sexual. Another example, not cited by theOED, is one of themain characters of E. Nesbit's Five Children and It - Jane, nicknamed Pussy by her siblings.

The verb pussyfoot, meaning towalk softly or tospeak in an evasive or cautious manner, may come from theadjective pussy-footed "having a cat-like foot", or directly from thenoun pussyfoot. This word, first attested in thelate nineteenth century, is related toboth the"cat" and the"woman" meanings of pussy.[11] Female genitalia In contemporary English, use of theword pussy torefer towomen themselves is considered derogatory and demeaning, treating women as sexual objects.[12] As a reference togenitals or tosexual intercourse, theword is considered vulgar slang. Studies find theword is used more commonly in conversations among men than in groups of women or mixed-

gender groups, though subjects report using pussy more often than other slang terms forfemale genitals.[13] There are women seeking toreclaim theword[14] tosymbolise sexual pleasure,[15] power,[16] and trust in their bodies (e.g. around childbirth).[17]

Woman wearing a "pussyhat" Donald Trump's use of theword todescribe celebrity interactions with women ("grab them by thepussy", known as theAccess Hollywood tape) provoked strong reactions by media figures and politicians across thepolitical spectrum; an image of a snarling cat with theslogan "pussy grabs back" became a "rallying cry forfemale rage against Trump".[18] Pink "pussyhats" (knitted caps with cat-like ears) were a notable feature of theworldwide protests held theday after Trump's inauguration as President of theUnited States.[19] thename attempts toreclaim thederogatory term[20][21] and was never intended tobe an anatomical representation.[22] Words referring tocats are used as vulgar slang forfemale genitals in some other European languages as well.

Examples include German Muschi (literally "house cat"),[23] French chatte ("female cat", also used torefer tosexual intercourse),[24] and Dutch poes ("puss").[5] thePortuguese term rata (literally "female rat")[25] and Norwegian mus ("mouse")[26] are also animal terms used as vulgar slang forwomen's genitals.

Weakness See also: Gender role The word pussy is also used in a derogatory sense tomean cowardly, weak, or easily fatigued. theCollins Dictionary says: "(taboo, slang, mainly US) an ineffectual or timid person."[27] It may refer toa male who is not considered sufficiently masculine, as in: "The coach calls us pussies."[28] Men who are dominated by women (particularly by their partners or spouses and at one time referred toas "henpecked"; see pecking order) can be referred toas pussy-whipped (or simply whipped in slightly more polite society or media).[29][30][31] This may be used simply todenigrate a man who is contented in a relationship. thehyphenated phrase is parsed as "whipped by pussy", a manipulative relationship dynamic wherein a female deliberately or subconsciously withholds sexual intercourse tocoerce themale into surrendering power in other aspects of therelationship. themale's weakness is his desire foraccess tofemale genitalia, and his willingness toweaken his position in therelationship toobtain that access, combining two uses of theword pussy.[citation needed] Word-play between meanings The Barrison Sisters lift their dresses toshow a live kitten, a double entendre of "pussy".

Pussy is one of a large number of English words that has both erotic and non-erotic meanings. Such double entendres have long been used in thecreation of sexual humor.[32] This double meaning of "pussy" has been used forover a hundred years by performers, including thelate-19th-century vaudeville act theBarrison Sisters, who performed thenotorious routine "Do You Want toSee My Pussy?" in which they raised their skirts toreveal live kittens.[33] In theBritish comedy Are You Being Served? thecharacter Mrs. Slocombe often expressed concern forthewelfare of her pussy. thedouble entendre made every reference toher cat seem tobe a salacious and therefore humorous reference toher vulva.[34] In the2002 film 8 Mile, a rapper insults his rivals by including theline, "How can six dicks be pussies?" theline relies on double meanings of both dick (either "contemptible person" or "male genitalia") and pussy ("weak" or "female genitalia"). Such word play presents a challenge fortranslators of thefilm.[35] Pussy Riot is a Russian radical feminist punk rock collective that stages illegal events in Moscow protesting President Vladimir Putin and thestatus of women in Russian society. Band member "Kot" says that she knows how theword is used in English, and that it is also used in Russian as term of endearment forlittle girls. These various meanings create a tension with theword "riot", which thegroup likes.[36]

An 18th century painting by François Boucher depicting a woman with a cat between her legs In 2017 Planned Parenthood released a series of short videos on YouTube about female sexual health, with theoverall title "How totake care of your pussy". Instead of theword "pussy" being shown or spoken, a cat appears instead. thevisuals consist mainly of cats, playing on thepopularity of cat videos, with a voiceover by Sasheer Zamata.

Refinery29 called it "a pretty genius metaphor"[37] and Metro said: "If there are two things left in this world that are inherently wonderful, it's cats and vaginas. Don't argue. It's true.[...] It makes sense, then, that Planned Parenthood has decided tocombine thetwo tocreate a truly splendid video series."[38] theseries has been shortlisted fora Shorty Award.[39] See also Cunt, another old vulgarism forthevulva -ussy, a derivative suffix References "pussy, n. and adj.2".

"Wake Up Dead" Released: 1986 "Peace Sells" Released: November 1986 Peace Sells... but Who's Buying? is thesecond studio album by American thrash metal band Megadeth, released on September 19, 1986, through Capitol Records. theproject was originally handled by Combat Records, resulting in theoriginal mix of thealbum being co-produced by Randy Burns. Capitol Records then bought therights tothealbum and hired another producer named Paul Lani tomix it himself. therecording of thealbum was difficult fortheband, because of theongoing drug issues themembers had at thetime. Drummer Gar Samuelson and guitarist Chris Poland were fired shortly after thealbum's promotional tour fordrug abuse, making Peace Sells Samuelson's last Megadeth album. Poland reappeared as a session musician on Megadeth's 2004 album theSystem Has Failed. thetitle track, noted forits politically conscious lyrics, was released as thealbum's second single and was theband's first music video. thealbum's cover art, featuring theband's mascot Vic Rattlehead in front of a desolated United Nations Headquarters, was created by Ed Repka.

Peace Sells... but Who's Buying? is often regarded as a thrash metal classic and as an album that gave prominence toextreme metal. It has been featured in several publications' best album lists, including Robert Dimery's 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die and Martin Popoff's Top 500 Heavy Metal Albums of All Time. thealbum has been reissued several times over theyears. In 2004, thealbum was remixed and remastered by Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine, with extensive liner notes detailing thealbum's background. In 2011, thethree different versions were reissued as part of thealbum's 25th anniversary celebration. All of them, with theexception of the2004 mixes, feature new remastering.

Background and recording In an interview forMetal Forces in December 1985, frontman Dave Mustaine revealed that theband had already started writing new material forthesecond album. He said that two songs ("Black Friday" and "Bad Omen") were finished and described them as a "total blur", being much faster than "Rattlehead" from their debut album, Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good![3] Speaking about thelyrical content of Peace Sells..., Mustaine and bassist David Ellefson stated that they wanted tochange thepublic perception of heavy metal by writing songs that contained socially aware lyrics. Mustaine further noted that theband was not unaware of thepolitical situation at thetime, and that some of his political beliefs were reflected in thesongs.[4] Professional rock critic Steve Huey noted thealbum's combination of "punkish political awareness with a dark, threatening, typically heavy metal worldview".[5] During thefirst two months of 1986, Megadeth commenced a brief tour of theEast Coast of theUnited States. At theshows, which were practically a continuation of theKilling fora Living tour, theband performed a number of songs from its upcoming album.[6] Following theconclusion of thetour, theband intended tostart making therecord at theMusic Grinder studio on Melrose Avenue in Hollywood. Mustaine lifted thetitle from an article in Reader's Digest, which was titled "Peace Would Sell But No One Would Buy It".[7] Their label at thetime, Combat Records, provided a recording budget of $25,000, which allowed theband tohire a freelance producer, Randy Burns.[8] therecording of thealbum turned out tobe very difficult fortheband, because Mustaine and Ellefson were both homeless at thetime.[9] Furthermore, guitarist Chris Poland and drummer Gar Samuelson would not show up forhours because of their heroin addiction. Shortly after theband finished thefinal recordings of thealbum forCombat, they were approached by Tim Carr, an A&R representative of Capitol Records.[8] After securing a contract with thegroup, Capitol hired producer Paul Lani toremix theoriginal mixes done by Randy Burns, theprevious producer.[10] Poland was theonly member who had multiple instruments, as Ellefson and Mustaine only had one bass and guitar respectively.[11] Unlike Mustaine's previous band, both he and Poland laid down lead and rhythm tracks.[11]

Songs Tracks 1–4 "Wake Up Dead" features lyrics which describe a man who has been cheating on his wife or girlfriend and is sneaking into his house, knowing that if his wife finds out about his other lover, she will kill him.[12] Mustaine said that "Wake Up Dead" was written about him cheating on a girl with whom he was living. He stayed with her because he was homeless at thetime and needed a place tostay. Unfortunately, he was in love with another girl and thought theone he lived with would be mad because he was cheating on her. He had toleave her because he thought she had intentions tokill him.[13] "The Conjuring", according toevangelist Bob Larson, simulates a Satanic ceremony,[14] and makes references about being thedevil's advocate and his salesman.[15] Mustaine explained thesong is about black magic and contains instructions forhexes.[16] However, because thesubject matter appears incompatible tohis conversion toChristianity, thesong had not been played live since 2001,[17] until June 12, 2018, when Megadeth performed "The Conjuring" live forthefirst time in 17 years at theHome Monitoring Aréna in Plzeň, Czech Republic.[18] "Peace Sells" reflects Mustaine's political and social beliefs.[19] thelyrics are a disapproval of theAmerican way and convey Mustaine's wish fora new social structure.[20] Ellefson has stated that during thetour prior torecording thealbum, theband could tell then that thesong was going tobe a hit.[8] thevideo forthetitle track became an MTV mainstay and theopening bass line was used as introduction toMTV News.[21] However, Mustaine proclaimed that they received no royalties because thesong was excluded shortly before MTV would have topay them forits use.[22] "Devils Island" is a reference toa former French penal colony off thecoast of French Guiana. thelyrics detail thethoughts of a condemned prisoner awaiting execution. He is spared by God, but must spend therest of his life on theisland.[23] Tracks 5–8 "Good Mourning/Black Friday" is a two-piece song, which begins with an instrumental section called "Good Mourning".[24] Lyrically, Mustaine has described "Black Friday" as being about "a homicidal madman who goes on a killing spree".[16] With an excessive use of gory language and violent imagery, thesong chronicles theacts of a serial killer.[25] It was inspired by Dijon Carruthers, who was briefly theband's drummer prior tothehiring of Gar Samuelson. According toMustaine, Carruthers was hanging out with people who were practicing occultism, and they inspired him towrite songs based on spiritual themes.[26] "Bad Omen" explores thetheme of occultism.[27] Mustaine described "Bad Omen" like "two happy campers who have stumbled onto a Satanic orgy in themiddle of thewoods" and then "they see these fools waiting around forSatan's blessing".[28] Asked whether theband members really believe in thesubject matters they write, Mustaine responded: "We're aware of thesubjects we write about—witchcraft, Satanic sacrifices and thelike—but we're not condoning them."[14] "I Ain't Superstitious" was written by Willie Dixon and originally recorded by Howlin' Wolf in 1961.

However, Megadeth's version is vastly different from theoriginal.[27] "My Last Words" is about a game of Russian roulette and thefear one goes through when playing thegame.[29] Despite being one of thelesser known tracks on therecord, music journalist Martin Popoff said that thesong was an example of theband's "fast thrashers" and an evidence why Megadeth were dubbed as the"fearless speed progenitors".[30] Lars Ulrich, founding member of Metallica and former bandmate of Mustaine, has stated that "My Last Words" is his favorite Megadeth song.[31] Release and promotion Peace Sells... but Who's Buying? was released on September 19, 1986. thealbum's artwork was designed by Ed Repka, who later did other artwork fortheband.[32] thecover art depicts theband's mascot, Vic Rattlehead, in front of a ruined United Nations Headquarters. He is portrayed as a real estate agent, who is selling thedevastated remains of theorganization's headquarters.[33] Repka considers theart cover tobe a "significant milestone" in his career.[34] The title track was released as a single, forwhich theband filmed its first video.[35] In 1987, a video was made forthelead single, "Wake Up Dead", which featured theband performing in a steel cage.[36] Soon after thealbum's release, Megadeth began a tour as a supporting band forMotörhead. thetour took place in California and thesouthwestern parts of theUnited States. However, due todisagreements between themanagements of thetwo bands, Megadeth were pulled from thelast three shows.[37] Following theshort stint with Motörhead, Megadeth were added

as theopening act on Alice Cooper's Constrictor tour, which took place at thebeginning of 1987.[38] Later in 1987, after theconclusion of thealbum's promotional tour, Mustaine fired Poland and Samuelson due totheir substance abuse issues.[39] Critical reception Contemporary reviews Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating Encyclopedia of Popular Music [39] Kerrang!

[40] The Rolling Stone Album Guide [41] Martin C. Strong 8/10[42] Peace Sells... but Who's Buying? was well received by contemporary music critics.[43] Billboard's critic Fred Goodman facetiously remarked that thealbum is an "array of impressive tracks" that he does not recommend for"the weak-hearted".[44] Colin Larkin, writing in theEncyclopedia of Popular Music, viewed thealbum as a vast improvement over their previous record, from both technical and musical aspect.[39] Kerrang! deemed Peace Sells... but Who's Buying? as thealbum that saw theinception of Megadeth's always-distinctive sound.[45] Writing in theRolling Stone Album Guide, author Nathan Brackett said that Megadeth were representing "the dark and nasty side" of American thrash throughout the1980s. However, he considered thealbum tobe almost identical totherest of their discography from this period.[46] Legacy Professional ratings Retrospective reviews Aggregate scores Source Rating Metacritic 83/100[47] Review scores Source Rating About.com [48] AllMusic [5] Kerrang!

[47] Pitchfork 8.7/10[49] PopMatters 6/10[50] Q [51] Record Collector [52] Spin 8/10[53] Sputnikmusic 4.5/5[54] In retrospect, Peace Sells... but Who's Buying? has been regarded as a milestone of theAmerican thrash metal movement.[55] Along with Metallica's Master of Puppets and Slayer's Reign in Blood, which were also released in 1986, Peace Sells... but Who's Buying? is considered pivotal in giving prominence toextreme metal.[51] AllMusic's Steve Huey recognized therecord as a notable achievement in theband's history, and called it a "classic of early thrash".[5] Similarly, Chad Bowar of About.com said that thealbum captured Megadeth in their prime, and recommended it as a "mandatory" recording forthefans of this genre.[48] Sputnikmusic's Mike Stagno named thealbum a "bona-fide masterpiece" and said it was themain reason why Megadeth became one of theleading acts of theunderground scene.[54] Joel McIver, writing in Record Collector, said that thealbum's main strength was its fluidity, with all songs moving in a continuous, steady stream. According tohim, thealbum was "flip thebird" tothecritics who were hostile tothis type of music at thetime.[52] Pitchfork Media's Jess Harvell said that thanks tothis album, Megadeth developed a strong cult following. He viewed therecord as a resistance against theglam metal acts from theday, because bands like Megadeth were more appealing tothe"dead-end kids".[49] Adrien Begrand of PopMatters praised thealbum formaking strong impression both

musically and visually. Although Begrand acknowledged that this was not Megadeth's most technically proficient album, he explained that theunique combination of "the extreme and theaccessible" is why this album remained a fanfavorite.[50] Spin magazine's Mike Powell cited therecord as an example of "glossy hardcore" with Satanic lyricism.[53] Jeff Treppel from Decibel noted that thealbum exhibits a distinctive sound, which set Megadeth apart from their contemporaries: "Peace Sells was a leaner, nastier predator. Megadeth preferred tokill with speed and precision instead of size and power." According tohim, thealbum influenced countless heavy metal bands that followed, from Arch Enemy toDragonForce.[56] In addition tobeing critically acclaimed, thealbum received numerous accolades since its release. It has been featured in Robert Dimery's book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die,[57] as well as in Martin Popoff's edition of theTop 500 Heavy Metal Albums of All Time.[58] About.com ranked it third on their list of "Essential Thrash Metal Albums", commenting that more than two decades after its release, therecord holds a status as an undisputed classic.[59] In 2017, it was ranked 8th on Rolling Stone's list of "100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time".[60] Reissues In 2003, Capitol Records re-released thealbum on DVD-Audio, with theoriginal track list, in 96k/24-bit resolution forboth surround and stereo mixes, and music videos for"Wake Up Dead" and "Peace Sells". thealbum was remixed and remastered in 2004 along with therest of theband's Capitol Records albums. This reissue featured four alternate mixes of thealbum's songs as bonus tracks.[61] On July 12, 2011, theband re-released thealbum in both a 2-Disc reissue and a special 5-Disc + 3-LP box set, tocommemorate the25th anniversary of thealbum.[62] thereissue features liner notes written by Mustaine and Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich.[63] the25th anniversary re-release sold approximately 2,000 units in its first week of release.[64] The 25th Anniversary edition box set features five discs. Discs 1–3 all feature theoriginal album, with disc 1 having theoriginal mix (remastered version from 2011), disc 2 featuring the2004 remix, and disc 3 featuring theRandy Burns mixes (several examples of which appear as bonus tracks on thealbum's 2004 release).

Agustín Vásquez Gómez, ambassador of theRepublic of El Salvador, chairing theOPCW's Fourth Review Conference, November 2018 The chairperson, also chairman, chairwoman or chair, is thepresiding officer of an organized group such as a board, committee, or deliberative assembly. theperson holding theoffice, who is typically elected or appointed by members of thegroup or organisation, presides over meetings of thegroup, and conducts thegroup's business in an orderly fashion.[1] In some organizations, thechairperson is also known as president (or other title).[2][3] In others, where a board appoints a president (or other title), thetwo terms are used fordistinct positions. theterm chairman may be used in a neutral manner, not directly implying thegender of theholder. In meetings or conferences, to"chair" something (chairing) means tolead theevent.[4] Terminology Look up chair, chairman, chairwoman, chairperson, or preside in Wiktionary, thefree dictionary.

Terms fortheoffice and its holder include chair, chairperson, chairman, chairwoman, convenor, facilitator, moderator, president, and presiding officer.[5][6][7][8][9] thechairperson of a parliamentary chamber is sometimes called thespeaker.[10][11] Chair has been used torefer toa seat or office of authority since themiddle of the17th century; its earliest citation in theOxford English Dictionary dates to1658–1659, four years after thefirst citation forchairman.[12][13][14] Feminist critiques have analysed Chairman as an example of sexist language, associating themale gender with theexercise of authority, this has led tothewidespread use of thegeneric "Chairperson".[15] In World Schools Style debating, as of 2009, chairperson or chair refers totheperson who controls thedebate; it recommends using Madame Chair or Mr. Chairman toaddress thechairperson.[16] theFranklinCovey Style Guide forBusiness and Technical Communication and theAmerican Psychological Association style guide advocate using chair or chairperson.[17][18] theOxford Dictionary of American Usage and Style (2000) suggested that thegenderneutral forms were gaining ground; it advocated chair forboth men and women.[19] theDaily Telegraph's style guide bans theuse of chair and chairperson; thenewspaper's position, as of 2018, is that "chairman is correct English".[20] theNational Association of Parliamentarians adopted a resolution in 1975 discouraging theuse of chairperson and rescinded it in 2017.[21][22] Usage Ambassador Leena Al-Hadid of Jordan chairs a meeting of theInternational Atomic Energy Agency, 2018.[23] The word chair can refer totheplace from which theholder of theoffice presides, whether on a chair, at a lectern, or elsewhere.[1] During meetings, theperson presiding is said tobe "in thechair" and is also referred toas "the chair".[1] Parliamentary procedure requires that members address the"chair" as "Mr. (or Madam) Chairman (or Chair or Chairperson)" rather than using a name – one of many customs intended tomaintain thepresiding officer's impartiality and toensure an objective and impersonal approach.[7][24] In theBritish music hall tradition, thechairman was themaster of ceremonies who announced theperformances and was responsible forcontrolling any rowdy elements in theaudience. therole was popularised on British TV in the1960s and 1970s by Leonard Sachs, thechairman on thevariety show theGood Old Days.[25]

"Chairman" as a quasi-title gained particular resonance when socialist states from 1917 onward shunned more traditional leadership labels and stressed thecollective control of Soviets (councils or committees) by beginning torefer toexecutive figureheads as "Chairman of theX Committee". Lenin, forexample, officially functioned as thehead of Soviet Russian government not as prime minister or as president but as "Chairman of theCouncil of People's Commissars".[26][27] At thesame time, thehead of thestate was first called "Chairman of theCentral Executive Committee" (until 1938) and then "Chairman of thePresidium of thePresidium of theSupreme Soviet". In Communist China, Mao Zedong was commonly called "Chairman Mao", as he was officially Chairman of theChinese Communist Party and Chairman of theCentral Military Commission.

Roles and responsibilities Duties at meetings Sam Ervin (right), chairman of theUnited States Senate Watergate Committee, 1973 In addition totheadministrative or executive duties in organizations, thechairperson presides over meetings.[28] Such duties at meetings include: Calling themeeting toorder Determining if a quorum is present Announcing theitems on the"order of business", or agenda, as they come up Recognition of members tohave thefloor Enforcing therules of thegroup Putting questions (motions) toa vote, which is theusual way of resolving disagreements following discussion of theissues Adjourning themeeting While presiding, thechairperson should remain impartial and not interrupt a speaker if thespeaker has thefloor and is following therules of thegroup.[29] In committees or small boards, thechairperson votes along with theother members; in assemblies or larger boards, thechairperson should vote only when it can affect theresult.[30] At a meeting, thechairperson only has one vote (i.e. thechairperson cannot vote twice and cannot override thedecision of thegroup unless theorganization has specifically given thechairperson such authority).[31] Powers and authority The powers of thechairperson vary widely across organizations. In some organizations they have theauthority tohire staff and make financial decisions. In others they only make recommendations toa board of directors, and or may have no executive powers, in which case they are mainly a spokesperson fortheorganization. thepower given depends upon thetype of organization, its structure, and therules it has created foritself.

Disciplinary procedures If thechairperson exceeds their authority, engages in misconduct, or fails toperform their duties, they may face disciplinary procedures. Such procedures may include censure, suspension, or removal from office. therules of theorganization would provide details on who can perform these disciplinary procedures.[32] Usually, whoever appointed or elected thechairperson has thepower todiscipline them.

Public corporations There are three common types of chairperson in public corporations.

Chairman and CEO The chief executive officer (CEO) may also hold thetitle of chairperson, in which case theboard frequently names an independent member of theboard as a lead director. This position is equivalent totheposition of président-directeur général in France.[citation needed] Executive chairman Executive chairperson is an office separate from that of CEO, where thetitleholder wields influence over company operations, such as Larry Ellison of Oracle, Douglas Flint of HSBC and Steve Case of AOL Time Warner. In

particular, thegroup chair of HSBC is considered thetop position of that institution, outranking thechief executive, and is responsible forleading theboard and representing thecompany in meetings with government figures. Before thecreation of thegroup management board in 2006, HSBC's chair essentially held theduties of a chief executive at an equivalent institution, while HSBC's chief executive served as thedeputy. After the2006 reorganization, themanagement cadre ran thebusiness, while thechairperson oversaw thecontrols of thebusiness through compliance and audit and thedirection of thebusiness.[33][34][35] Non-executive chairman Non-executive chairperson is also a separate post from theCEO; unlike an executive chairperson, a non-executive chair does not interfere in day-to-day company matters. Across theworld, many companies have separated theroles of chairperson and CEO, saying that this move improves corporate governance. thenon-executive chairperson's duties are typically limited tomatters directly related totheboard, such as:[36] Chairing themeetings of theboard.

Organizing and coordinating theboard's activities, such as by setting its annual agenda.

Reviewing and evaluating theperformance of theCEO and theother board members.

Many companies in theUS have an executive chairperson; this method of organization is sometimes called theAmerican model. Having a non-executive chairperson is common in theUK and Canada; this is sometimes called theBritish model. Expert opinion is rather evenly divided over which is thepreferable model.[38] There is a growing push by public market investors forcompanies with an executive chairperson tohave a lead independent director toprovide some element of an independent perspective.[39][40] The role of thechairperson in a private equity-backed board differs from therole in non-profit or publicly listed organizations in several ways, including thepay, role and what makes an effective private-equity chairperson.[41] Companies with both an executive chairperson and a CEO include Ford,[42] HSBC,[43] Alphabet Inc.,[44] and HP.[45] Vice-chairperson and deputy chairperson A vice- or deputy chairperson, subordinate tothechairperson, is sometimes chosen toassist and toserve as chairperson in thelatter's absence, or when a motion involving thechairperson is being discussed.[46] In theabsence of thechairperson and vice-chairperson, groups sometimes elect a chairperson pro tempore tofill therole fora single meeting.[47] In some organizations that have both titles, deputy chairperson ranks higher than vice-chairperson, as there are often multiple vice-chairpersons but only a single deputy chairperson.[48] This type of deputy chairperson title on its own usually has only an advisory role and not an operational one (such as Ted Turner at Time Warner).[49] An unrelated definition of vice- and deputy chairpersons describes an executive who is higher ranking or has more seniority than an executive vice-president (EVP).
