The word multiple can refer to:
Multiple is an album by American saxophonist Joe Henderson, released in 1973 on Milestone. It was recorded mainly on January 30–31, 1973, but producer Keepnews stated there had also been a couple of additional recordings in February and April.
The early Seventies were a time of accommodation for jazz and rock. Joe Henderson even had a brief 1971 stint in the horn section of Blood, Sweat & Tears; and Larry Willis, keyboard player on this album, joined BS&T shortly after Henderson left. The stellar band assembled here shows more of these fusion leanings than it might if assembled today—one doubts that Henderson would ask Willis to play electric keyboards, or drummer Jack DeJohnette to place as much emphasis on funk rhythms. (Dave Holland, a current Henderson collaborator, still has his electric bass in mothballs.) This is not to discount Multiple's distinct energy and groove, or its uniqueness in Joe Henderson's discography with its overdubs (including the leader's vocals) and the brief presence of James "Blood" Ulmer. DeJohnette and Holland each contribute tunes, plus an infectious, uncoiling momentum that makes the date a most corgenial meeting of giants
A financial ratio or accounting ratio is a relative magnitude of two selected numerical values taken from an enterprise's financial statements. Often used in accounting, there are many standard ratios used to try to evaluate the overall financial condition of a corporation or other organization. Financial ratios may be used by managers within a firm, by current and potential shareholders (owners) of a firm, and by a firm's creditors. Financial analysts use financial ratios to compare the strengths and weaknesses in various companies. If shares in a company are traded in a financial market, the market price of the shares is used in certain financial ratios.
Ratios can be expressed as a decimal value, such as 0.10, or given as an equivalent percent value, such as 10%. Some ratios are usually quoted as percentages, especially ratios that are usually or always less than 1, such as earnings yield, while others are usually quoted as decimal numbers, especially ratios that are usually more than 1, such as P/E ratio; these latter are also called multiples. Given any ratio, one can take its reciprocal; if the ratio was above 1, the reciprocal will be below 1, and conversely. The reciprocal expresses the same information, but may be more understandable: for instance, the earnings yield can be compared with bond yields, while the P/E ratio cannot be: for example, a P/E ratio of 20 corresponds to an earnings yield of 5%.
[Verse 1:]
Positions might be perplexed but flexibility is a necessity
Come on girl, join me in this ecstasy
Meet me in a place where your moaning ain't no faking
They comin' back to back cause with me there ain't no waiting
It's running down your leg, you're crawling out my bed
I see your eyes roll into the back of your head
Girl, I swear right now, you feel like heaven, oh
[Chorus:]
How many ways can I love you
And how many times can I do it to you
Step one, kissing you, you came two more times
Off three soft touches between your thighs
How many ways can I love you
And tell me how you like it done to you
Is it fast, is it slow, can you reach three or four
We can go on a journey called multiple
[Verse 2:]
All you wish is my responsibility to keep it real for you
Let you get the best of what I can do
Make sure you can't get enough
And tell me boo, is it good to you
Spin around, break it down
So I can hit it the way that I really want to girl
And you're gonna get it all tonight baby girl
Once the job in done you're gonna feel heaven
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
If I kiss my favorite parts of your body, just like you like
I can pull your ponytail hard and soft, play your favorite tracks
And in a minute I'll be back, make some breakfast, hey
All the different things that we can do
So many positions that I want to get to
And all I'm trying to see about you
Is how many times I can do it to your body baby
