In music, the conclusion is the ending of a composition and may take the form of a coda or outro.
Pieces using sonata form typically use the recapitulation to conclude a piece, providing closure through the repetition of thematic material from the exposition in the tonic key. In all musical forms other techniques include "altogether unexpected digressions just as a work is drawing to its close, followed by a return...to a consequently more emphatic confirmation of the structural relations implied in the body of the work."[1]

An outro (sometimes "outtro", also "extro") is the opposite of an intro. "Outro" is a blend or portmanteau as it replaces the element "in" of the "intro" with its opposite, to create a new word. The word was used facetiously by The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band for the 1967 track "The Intro and the Outro".[citation needed]
The term is typically used only in the realm of pop music. It can refer to the concluding track of an album (such as Snoop Doggy Dogg's Tha Doggfather) or to an outro-solo, an instrumental solo (usually a guitar solo) played as the song fades out or until it stops. For outro-solo examples see Led Zeppelin's "Black Dog",[citation needed] Vanessa Carlton's "Home" (piano solo),[citation needed] Eric Clapton's "Layla" (piano, guitar and slide guitar solos composed with Jim Gordon),[citation needed] Pink Floyd' "Comfortably Numb",[citation needed] Eagles' "Hotel California",[citation needed] Metallica's "Fade to Black" and "Astronomy" (Blue Öyster Cult cover),[citation needed] Tenacious D's "The Metal",[citation needed] Dire Straits' "Tunnel of Love",[citation needed] Rush's "Working Man",[citation needed] Blur's "To the End (La Comedie)",[citation needed] and T34's "Hbabi".[citation needed]
Repeat and fade is a musical direction used in sheet music as a notational shortcut to more formal notations such as Dal Segno.[2] The direction is to be taken literally: while repeating the chord progression and/or leit motif indicated prior to the section annotated "repeat and fade", the player(s) should continue to play/repeat, and the mixer or player(s) should fade the volume while the player(s) repeat the appropriate musical segments, until the song has been faded out (usually by faders on the mixing board)
Repeat and fade endings are rarely found in live performances, but are often used in studio recordings.[2] Examples include:

Facebook is a social network service website launched on February 4, 2004. This is a list of software and technology features that can be found on the Facebook website.
On September 6, 2006, Ruchi Sanghvi announced a new home page feature called News Feed. Originally, when users logged into Facebook, they were presented with a customizable version of their own profile. The new layout, by contrast, created an alternative home page in which users saw a constantly updated list of their friends' Facebook activity. News Feed highlights information that includes profile changes, upcoming events, and birthdays, among other updates. This has enabled spammers and other users to manipulate these features by creating illegitimate events or posting fake birthdays to attract attention to their profile or cause. News Feed also shows conversations taking place between the walls of a user's friends. An integral part of the News Feed interface is the Mini Feed, a news stream on the user's profile page that shows updates about that user. Unlike in the News Feed, the user can delete events from the Mini Feed after they appear so that they are no longer visible to profile visitors. In 2011 Facebook updated the News Feed to show top stories and most recent stories in one feed, and the option to highlight stories to make them top stories, as well as to un-highlight stories. In response to users' criticism, Facebook later updated the News Feed to allow users to view recent stories first.
Tag (also known as it, tip you're it or tig [in regions of Britain], and many other names) is a playground game that involves one or more players chasing other players in an attempt to "tag" or touch them, usually with their hands. There are many variations; most forms have no teams, scores, or equipment. Usually when a person is tagged, the tagger says, "Tag, you're it".
A group of players (two or more) decide who is going to be "it", often using a counting-out game such as eeny, meeny, miny, moe. The player selected to be "it" then chases the others, attempting to get close enough to "tag" one of them (touching them with a hand) while the others try to escape. A tag makes the tagged player "it" - in some variations, the previous "it" is no longer "it" and the game can continue indefinitely while in others, both players remain "it" and the game ends when all players have become "it".
There are many variants which modify the rules for team play, or place restrictions on tagged players' behavior. A simple variation makes tag an elimination game, so those tagged drop out of play. Some variants have a rule preventing a player from tagging the person who has just tagged them (known as "no tags-back", "no returns", or "can't tag your master").
In ordinary language, the term crime denotes an unlawful act punishable by a state. The term "crime" does not, in modern criminal law, have any simple and universally accepted definition, though statutory definitions have been provided for certain purposes. The most popular view is that crime is a category created by law; in other words, something is a crime if declared as such by the relevant and applicable law. One proposed definition is that a crime or offence (or criminal offence) is an act harmful not only to some individual or individuals but also to a community, society or the state ("a public wrong"). Such acts are forbidden and punishable by law.
The notion that acts such as murder, rape and theft are to be prohibited exists worldwide. What precisely is a criminal offence is defined by criminal law of each country. While many have a catalogue of crimes called the criminal code, in some common law countries no such comprehensive statute exists.
The state (government) has the power to severely restrict one's liberty for committing a crime. In modern societies, there are procedures to which investigations and trials must adhere. If found guilty, an offender may be sentenced to a form of reparation such as a community sentence, or, depending on the nature of their offence, to undergo imprisonment, life imprisonment or, in some jurisdictions, execution.

Crime is a 2008 novel by Scottish writer Irvine Welsh. It is the sequel to his earlier novel, Filth.
The main protagonist is Ray Lennox; a Detective Inspector with the Lothian and Borders Police who attempts to recover from a mental breakdown induced by stress, cocaine and alcohol abuse and a child murder case in Edinburgh in which he was the lead investigating officer by taking a holiday in Florida with his fiancée, Trudi. The pair meet up with Eddie 'Ginger' Rodgers, one of Lennox's retired former colleagues, and his wife Delores, and they all drink into the early hours of the morning. The next morning Lennox finds himself craving more alcohol and goes to a bar with Trudi where they have an argument which causes Trudi to angrily leave the bar. Lennox continues drinking heavily. Soon afterwards he meets two women, Starry and Robyn, in a different bar and they all go back Robyn's apartment where they drink more alcohol and take cocaine. They are soon joined by two men, Lance Dearing and Johnnie, and a fight breaks out a short time later when Lennox sees Johnnie is sexually assaulting Tianna, Robyn's ten-year-old daughter. Lennox incapacitates Johnnie and struggles with Dearing who ultimately leaves the apartment with everyone except Lennox and Tianna, who have locked themselves in a bathroom. After a fight Lennox is left in the apartment with Tianna, the 10-year-old daughter of one of the women.
You want your cake and eat it
Better eat it on your own
'Cos I won't be there listening
While you glitter on your throne
I've pleaded with you a thousand times
Still it's not enough
I've spilled my blood there's too much pain
I'm fed up of hanging tough
It brings me down
You can call me crazy girl
That's no crime
I'll admit I'm flaky and a drag sometimes
Always hated stupid rules
That's no crime
Not immaculate conception
That's no crime
You're an expert on integrity
You always want it right
Impeccable divine pedigree
You glow with neon light
I'm drowning in your swamp of love
Fighting just to breathe
Like to love you baby but you know
I've got to leave
It brings me down
You can call me crazy girl
That's no crime
I'll admit I'm lazy and a drag sometimes
Always hated stupid rules
Not immaculate conception
That's no crime
That's no crime
It brings me down
You can call me crazy girl
That's no crime
I'll admit I'm flaky and a drag sometimes
Always hated stupid rules
That's no crime
Not immaculate conception
That's no crime
Just love me for my attitude
You could change your mind
Yeah I'm a low life scum and sometimes rude
That's no crime
As a matter of fact your blazing temper
Twists my mind
You gotta learn humility and draw the line
