Haplogroup E-Z827

In human genetics, E-Z827, also known as E1b1b1b, is the name of a major Y chromosome haplogroup. It is defined as the lineage which combines the haplogroups E-Z830 and E-V257, and defines their common ancestry. The former is predominantly found in the Horn of Africa and the Middle East, while the latter is most frequently observed in North Western Africa; it is also found at lower frequencies in Europe, and in isolated parts of Southeast Africa.

Carousel

A carousel (American English: from French carrousel and Italian carosello), roundabout (British English), or merry-go-round, is an amusement ride consisting of a rotating circular platform with seats for riders. The "seats" are traditionally in the form of rows of wooden horses or other animals mounted on posts, many of which are moved up and down by gearwork to simulate galloping, to the accompaniment of looped circus music. This leads to one of the alternative names in American English, the galloper. Other popular names are jumper, horseabout and flying horses.

Carousels are commonly populated with horses, each horse weighing roughly 100 lbs (45 kg), but may include diverse varieties of mounts, like pigs, zebras, tigers, or mythological creatures such as dragons or unicorns. Sometimes, chairlike or benchlike seats are used as well, and occasionally mounts can be shaped like airplanes or cars.

In a playground, a roundabout or merry-go-round is usually a simple, child-powered rotating platform with bars or handles to which children can cling while riding.

Carousel (Melanie Martinez song)

"Carousel" is a song by American recording artist Melanie Martinez, featured on her debut EP, Dollhouse and her debut studio album, Cry Baby. A music video was released October 15, 2014. It was used as the theme song for season four of American television show American Horror Story.

Background and composition

This song is featured in a preview for FX’s anthology series, American Horror Story: Freak Show, with the theme also being a riff on the song. Melanie told the Huffington Post that American Horror Story is “absolutely, hands down” her favorite show, Martinez contacted FX about the song as soon as she heard this season’s theme would be carnival-related. After almost a year of silence, she got the call from the network just two days before the promo aired. “The whole thing was just crazy", Melanie said.

"Carousel" is labeled as indie pop, described by Melanie herself as, "My feeling in love with someone and being stuck on the same ride and trying to grab them but I never reach them".
