Yasmin (given name)

Yasmin (Persian: یاسمین yâsamin) is a feminine given name.

Etymology

Yasmin is the name in Persian for a flowering plant, and from which the name Jasmine derives.

The pronunciation of Yasmin is often parallel with the English Jasmine, but in Persian, Arabic and Turkish the "s" is not taken as a "z", and so is often pronounced as /ˈjæsmɪn/.

  • Grappling hold

    A grappling hold (commonly referred to simply as a hold; in Japanese referred to as katame-waza, 固め技, "grappling technique") is a specific grappling, wrestling, judo or other martial arts grip that is applied to an opponent. Holds are principally used to control the opponent, and to advance in points or positioning. Holds may be categorized by their function such as clinching, pinning or submission, while others can be classified by their anatomical effect: chokehold, joint-lock or compression lock.

    Clinch hold

    A clinch hold (also known as a clinching hold) is a grappling hold which is used in clinch fighting with the purpose of controlling the opponent. In wrestling it is referred to as the tie-up. The use of a clinch hold results in the clinch. Clinch holds can be used to close in on the opponent, as a precursor to a takedown or throw, or to prevent the opponent from moving away or striking effectively. Typical clinch holds include:

  • Bear hug
  • Collar tie
  • Overhook
  • Pinch grip tie
  • Headlock (song)

    "Headlock" is a song by British singer-songwriter Imogen Heap, from her 2005 album Speak for Yourself. It was the third single from Speak for Yourself, following "Hide and Seek" and "Goodnight and Go". Remixed for radio as 'Immi's Radio mix' and accompanied by a new all-vocal B-side, entitled "Mic Check".

    The video was filmed on 11 July 2006. The video premiered on Manchester-centric TV station, Channel M, in early September, before being sent to other music television channels for rotation.

    The drum and bass artist High Contrast remixed the song. The artist Clams Casino also sampled the song in his song "The World Needs Change".

    Featured instruments include mbira, string bass, and a vibraphone.

    This is a list of characters from Transformers: Robots in Disguise (the 2015 animated follow-up to Transformers: Prime).

    Autobots

  • Bumblebee (voiced by Will Friedle) - The main protagonist of the series. As the leader of the Autobot team on Earth, he is constantly obsessed with living up to Optimus' expectations when leading his team, especially when he is trying to keep order in the group. A running gag of the series is when he is trying to create a catchy rallying cry, which often results in them being bad puns or just lame in general. His alt mode is similar to a Camaro.
  • Optimus Prime (voiced by Peter Cullen) - The last of the Primes, the former leader of the Autobots and Bumblebee's mentor. Originally thought to have died after the events of Transformers Prime Beast Hunters: Predacons Rising, he was later resurrected by the Primes of the past to help stop an evil that would result in the destruction of both Earth and Cybertron. His alt mode is a semi-truck with trailer.
