Backë is a village in the former municipality of Potom in Berat County, Albania. At the 2015 local government reform it became part of the municipality Skrapar.
The human back is the large posterior area of the human body, rising from the top of the buttocks to the back of the neck and the shoulders. It is the surface opposite to the chest, its height being defined by the vertebral column (commonly referred to as the spine or backbone) and its breadth being supported by the ribcage and shoulders. The spinal canal runs through the spine and provides nerves to the rest of the body.
The central feature of the human back is the vertebral column, specifically the length from the top of the thoracic vertebrae to the bottom of the lumbar vertebrae, which houses the spinal cord in its spinal canal, and which generally has some curvature that gives shape to the back. The ribcage extends from the spine at the top of the back (with the top of the ribcage corresponding to the T1 vertebra), more than halfway down the length of the back, leaving an area with less protection between the bottom of the ribcage and the hips. The width of the back at the top is defined by the scapula, the broad, flat bones of the shoulders.
Back is a novel written by British writer Henry Green and published in 1946.
The novel tells the story of Charley Summers, a young Englishman who comes back from Germany, where he was detained as a POW for three years after having been wounded in combat in France (possibly in 1939-1940). Summers is repatriated because, due to his wound, his leg had to be amputated. While he was prisoner, Rose, the woman he loved, died, and this adds to the shock Charley suffered because of the mutilation. Moroever, Rose was married to another man, so Charley cannot even express his bereavement for fear of scandal.
After having visited the grave of Rose and met her husband James there, Charley calls on Rose's father, Mr Grant, who encourages him to make acquantance with a young widow. Charley ignores the suggestion at first, but after some days he goes to the widow's flat and he is astonished at the uncanny resemblance between the woman, whose name is Nancy Whitmore, and Rose. He soon finds out that there is a very simple explanation for this: Nancy is the illegitimate daughter of Mr Grant, who sent Charley to her thinking he might console her of the death of her husband (an RAF pilot killed in action in Egypt).
D12, an initialism for The Dirty Dozen, is an American hip hop group from Detroit, Michigan. D12 has had chart-topping albums in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia. D12 was formed in 1996, and achieved mainstream success after Eminem rose to international fame. D12 released the album Devil's Night in 2001 and D12 World in 2004, spawning numerous hits such as "Fight Music", "Purple Pills", "My Band", "How Come" and "Shit on You" throughout that period. Since 2006, Eminem's hiatus and the death of the member Proof resulted in them being less active in subsequent years.
In order to make up the dozen, it was decided the six members at the time would each create an alter-ego. Proof's was Dirty Harry, Bizarre's was Peter S. Bizarre, Kuniva's was Hannz G. (which later became Rondell Beene), Kon Artis's was Mr. Porter, Bugz' was Robert Beck and Eminem created the famous character Slim Shady.
In 1997, they released their debut album, The Underground EP, which was recorded between 1996 and 1997. In 1997 and through 1998, its members began establishing reputations locally. Bizarre was named Inner City Entertainment's "Flava of the Week" and went on to release an album called Attack of the Weirdos. Along with Eminem, Rah Digga and Young Zee, he became an honorary member of The Outsidaz. Proof won a freestyling competition run by The Source. In 1999, Bugz released an EP called These Streets EP, and made several appearances on other rapper's songs.

B-Dub shit, O.S., yeah
The reunion, c'mon
Let's go
[Verse 1:]
Sometimes I wonder what we writin for, fightin for
Fuck it y'all the game ain't even tight no more
But this is what I do y'all, this is the life
A street warrior with words and I blast on sight
No remorse, motherfuckers gotta pay the cost
And if you floss then I guess you gots to take that loss
In the zone and I'm focused, can't leave it alone
Like the mic keeps calling when the beats is on
O.S. lace the track, thank God for that
Cause when we get it goin ain't no rewindin it back
Cause destiny's the music y'all, move it or lose it
Independently or major, streets gon' choose it
Take it or leave it but you better believe it
We layin motherfuckers down with lines to meet Jesus
Sleepin on O.S. you sleepin on death
Eventually we catch you and we take your breath
[Chorus:]
We back, Tri-State Cringe and Minus
If you lookin for the shit you know where to find us
We back, straight from the L.A. streets
To compose a perfect melody and bring the heat
We back, back to regain the crown
And leave the jewels on top with the signature sound
We back, just in the nick of time
We signed with Sub Noize to deliver the rhyme
[Verse 2:]
Aiyyo, most effective, young and restless
Flows so hot I burn the ice off your necklace
You get the message? This is chemistry
Formulate a formula then pour it on lyrically
And witness symptoms of the sickness
Overdose pimpin, game attract chickens
But not Farmer John's, we smoke marijuan'
March like Farrakhan, and taste parmegan
With the talk of a V-12 turbo
High speed engine drive the fans loco
Hand to hand throw the perfect dish
Show power like {?} and reverse the pick
Metal, my DNA read rhymes and hooks
E MC double E pies and jux
With a, batch of the conscious black
P.E. "Terrordome" when I launch this rap
Like Chuck on the monstrous track
You better call Bobby B to get your flavor back
