earrings: Decorative jewelry worn in the ears by Hindu women and many men. Yogis, especially those of the Natha tradition, wear large earrings to stimulate the psychic nadis connected to the ears. Traditionally, the ascetic Kanphatis ("split-eared ones") split the cartilage of their ears to accommodate massive earrings. Ear-piercing for earrings is said to bring health (right ear) and wealth (left ear).

Conures are a loosely-defined group of large New World parakeets. They are loosely-defined in that they do not currently constitute a natural, scientific grouping as all species of macaw are closely related and can be seen as conures by descent too. The word "conure" is an old term and was originally used as a descriptive name for the members of the now-abandoned genus Conurus, which included the members of Aratinga and Pyrrhura. The name conure is usually replaced among laymen and in children's books by "p ...

Mammals, including humans, have two ears, one on each side of the head. Ear - Outer ear. The outer ear is the external portion of the ear and includes the eardrum. The visible part is called the pinna, or auricle, and functions to collect and focus sound waves. Many mammals can move the pinna (with the auriculares muscles) in order to focus their hearing in a certain direction in much the same way that they can turn their eyes. Humans, as opposed to other mammals, do not have this ability. From the ...

Golden Earring was formed in 1961 in The Hague by 13-year-old George Kooymans and his 15-year-old neighbour, Rinus Gerritsen. Originally called The Tornados, the name was changed to Golden Earrings when they discovered that "The Tornados" was already in use. The name Golden Earrings was taken from a song, originally sung by Marlene Dietrich in 1947 and a hit for Peggy Lee in 1948, with which they opened their concerts. Initially a "teenybopper" band, Golden Earrings had their first chart success with their debut single Please Go, recorded in ...

The story begins when a fetish which originally belonged to a tribe of South American indians is stolen from the Museum of Ethnography. The following day it is back in the museum, along with a note apologizing for the inconvenience caused, saying that the reason had been a bet. Tintin, who is among the reporters looking into the story, realizes that the replacement is a fake, the distinction being a broken ear. He finds a book with an image of the fetish, drawn by an explorer: it confirms that one of the ears is damaged, while the one ...

Placing a candle inside the ear can potentially lead to burns, infection, obstruction of the ear canal and perforation of the eardrum. One particular concern is wax dripping into the ear, which can cause internal burning and blockage. [3] Some ear candles are designed with a plug inside to help prevent this. Others are designed to be self-extinguishing. Ear candling is generally classified as pseudoscience or even quackery by mainstream medicine, as very little scientific evidence supports it. Skeptics suggest that that there is no me ...

Golden Earring has released music worldwide and enjoyed brief superstar status in the Seventies when Radar Love, from the album Moontan, became a hit in both Europe and the USA. Moontan itself was awarded a gold record in the US.
