NRG may refer to:
NRG (American band)
NRG was a 1980s rock band notable for being featured in The Transformers: The Movie.
Formation
NRG formed and began writing songs in 1979. At that time the band invested in their own 8 track recording studio to lay down tracks for their music. The band started out recording in a cellar and rehearsed in a chicken coop that was internally covered wall to wall with rugs to deaden the sound while they practiced.
NRG started when drummer Lee Mangano contacted a local guitar player named Ernie Petrangelo. A search began for a singer, and after many auditions, Les Brown a native of Taunton, Massachusetts, walked into the studio, put on a set of headphones, and started to sing. Les never made it to the first chorus and was asked to be in the band. The final member was bass player Pat Lynch.
NRG
Their song "Instruments of Destruction" is included in the compilation The Transformers The Movie: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.
NRG has shared the stage with artists such as the Goo Goo Dolls, Extreme, Joan Jett, UFO, Nazareth, Blue Öyster Cult, Kix and Judas Priest.
Maariv
Maariv or Ma'ariv (Hebrew: מַעֲרִיב, [maʔăˈʁiv]), also known as Arvit (Hebrew: עַרְבִית, [aʁˈvit]), is a Jewish prayer service held in the evening or night. It consists primarily of the evening Shema and Amidah.
The service usually begins with two verses from Psalms, followed by the communal recitation of Barechu. The three paragraphs of the Shema are then said, both preceded and followed by two blessings, although sometimes a fifth blessing is added at the end. The hazzan (leader) then recites half-Kaddish. The Amidah is said quietly by everyone, and, unlike at the other services, is not repeated by the hazzan. He recites the full Kaddish, Aleinu is recited, and the mourners' Kaddish ends the service. Other prayers occasionally added include the Counting of the Omer (between Passover and Shavuot) and Psalm 27 (between the first of Elul and the end of Sukkot).
Maariv is generally recited after sunset. However, it may be recited as early as one and a quarter seasonal hours before sunset. This is common only on Friday nights, in order to begin Shabbat earlier. At the conclusion of Shabbat and holidays, the service is usually delayed until nightfall. While Maariv should be prayed before midnight, it may be recited until daybreak or even sunrise.
