Lara's Theme
"Lara's Theme" is the name given to a leitmotif written for the film ''Doctor Zhivago'' (1965) by composer Maurice Jarre. Soon afterward, the leitmotif became the basis of the song "Somewhere, My Love". Numerous versions, both orchestral and vocal, have been recorded, among the most popular was the version by Ray Conniff Singers. Composition and recording Maurice Jarre was asked by director David Lean to write the score for ''Doctor Zhivago'', including a theme for the character of Lara, played by Julie Christie. Initially Lean had desired to use a well-known Russian song but could not locate the rights to it, and delegated responsibility to Jarre. Lean informed Jarre he was working under time constraint and that the score needed to be composed and recorded in around ten weeks. Jarre wrote a number of themes for the film, however, Lean was dissatisfied with the theme for Lara. Lean suggested to Jarre that, rather than thinking about ''Zhivago'' or Russia, he should go to the mo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Walnut
A walnut is the edible seed of a drupe of any tree of the genus ''Juglans'' (family Juglandaceae), particularly the Persian or English walnut, '' Juglans regia''. Although culinarily considered a "nut" and used as such, it is not a true botanical nut. After full ripening, the shell is discarded and the kernel is eaten. Nuts of the eastern black walnut (''Juglans nigra'') and butternuts ('' Juglans cinerea'') are less commonly consumed. Characteristics Walnuts are rounded, single-seeded stone fruits of the walnut tree commonly used for food after fully ripening between September and November, in which the removal of the husk at this stage reveals a browning wrinkly walnut shell, which is usually commercially found in two segments (three or four-segment shells can also form). During the ripening process, the husk will become brittle and the shell hard. The shell encloses the kernel or meat, which is usually made up of two halves separated by a membranous partition. The ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lara (genus)
''Lara'' is a genus of Nearctic beetles in the family Elmidae. Name ''Lara'' was also applied to a genus of orthopterans by Otte and Alexander in 1983 (now ''Musgravia'' Otte, 1994), and to a genus of harvestmen by González-Sponga in 1987 (now ''Venezuelana'' Özdikmen, 2008). Species There are two species, the North American wood-eating beetle '' Lara avara'' LeConte, 1852 and '' Lara gehringii'' Darlington, 1929. Life cycle In Oregon, the life cycle of ''Lara avara'' is 4 to 6 years long, or even more. Adults can be found from May to August and live for about three weeks. They deposit the eggs on submerged wood. The larvae feed on decaying wood, absorbing substances liberated by microbial activity—they lack their own cellulase Cellulase (EC 3.2.1.4; systematic name 4-β-D-glucan 4-glucanohydrolase) is any of several enzymes produced chiefly by fungi, bacteria, and protozoans that catalyze cellulolysis, the decomposition of cellulose and of some related polysacch ...

Lara, A Tale
''Lara, A Tale'' is a rhymed, tragic narrative poem by Lord Byron; first published in 1814. Background The first work composed after Byron abandoned the idea of giving up writing and buying back his copyrights, it is regarded by critics as a continuation of the autobiographical work begun in '' The Corsair''. Unlike ''The Corsair'', it was published anonymously, in conjunction with Samuel Rogers' ''Jacqueline''. ''Lara, A Tale'' was first published anonymously by Lord Byron in 1814 alongside another poem that was not written by Byron. In this version, there is nothing to distinguish between ''Lara'' and ''Jacqueline'' (written by Samuel Rogers), as they were published anonymously and without any indication that there are two separate authors within the text. This tragic narrative poem is seen as a continuation of another poem of Byron's, ''The Corsair''. It details Count Lara's return home after spending a few years travelling abroad. With a page as his only company, Lara's stor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Electoral District Of Lara
Lara is a seat in the Victorian Legislative Assembly. It covers much of the area between the western suburbs of Melbourne and the regional city of Geelong. Most of the voters come from the very northern suburbs of Geelong, including Lara, Bell Post Hill and Corio. The district also includes the country towns of Anakie, Balliang and Little River but these add very few voters to the district. The electorate was created at the 2002 state election, replacing the abolished Geelong North. A safe Labor seat like its predecessor, it was easily won by Peter Loney, formerly the MP for Geelong North. Loney faced a preselection challenge ahead of the 2006 election from upper house member John Eren John Hamdi Eren (born 15 March 1964) is an Australian politician. He has been a Labor Party member of the Parliament of Victoria since 2002, representing Geelong Province in the Legislative Council from 2002 to 2006, and Lara in the Legis ..., whose seat was being abolished as pa ...
