Sure, you might feel like you're accomplishing something if you hide away an email until you've got time to deal with it, but chances are there are already enough emails hitting your inbox without them circling round twice or even more times.

Dorje (1999), p. 234. Subsequent to the old monastery's destruction, a smaller temple () was built below the old location on flat land. A legend narrated about this event purported a propitious omen of the ‘Life supporting’ stone (lado) of Buchu moving. Further, when the then Rinpoche performed the consecration ceremonies for the small temple, he is stated to have seen a three horned goat circling round the area and vanishing into a stone.

Umrah requires Muslims to perform two key rituals, Tawaf and Sa'i. Tawaf is a circling round the Kaaba. For men, it is recommended to do the first three circuits in a hurried pace, followed by four rounds of a more leisurely pace. This is followed by Sa'i between Safa and Marwah in the Great Mosque of Mecca, a walk to commemorate Hagar's search for water for her son and God's mercy in answering prayers.

Rumi mentions whirling in a number of his poems. In one ghazal in the Divani Shamsi Tabriz he says: Those who turn in the direction of prayer, whirl in both this world and the next. Pay heed when a circle of friends whirl, circling round and round, the Kaaba is the center. If you wish a mine of sugar, it is there; and if you wish a fingertip of sugar, it is gratis.

Immediately beside them stands a hunter, with large dogs, and at far left another huntsman blows a horn.Cohen, 159 Over Venus' head, Cupid perches in a tree, with an arrow in his bow, apparently pointed at Jupiter. In the middle distance a naked couple, apparently both women, talk or kiss on the banks of a river. The river has a wide waterfall above the stag, and presumably then flows above the conversing couple before perhaps circling round behind the viewer to create the water behind the Jupiter/satyr, but this is not shown clearly, which is rather typical of Titian.

In traditional Bengali wedding, the bridegroom comes to the girl's house to marry her, wearing a topor (headwear) and a Bengali-style dhoti and kurta, and is greeted, usually by the bride's mother along with other members of the family. After the bridegroom is seated at the canopied wedding altar (chadnatolla), he is offered new clothes as a gift from the bride. As the auspicious time approaches, 4-5 male members of the bride's family take her, seated on a low stool (pidi), circling round the groom seven times to symbolize that the bride and bridegroom are now "winded up securely to each other".About, Inc.

Thrusts (called "darts" by Wylde) were often performed with the release of the forward hand and a step with the forward leg like a fencing lunge, stretching forward the back hand as far as possible. Longer thrusts were delivered with a full step forward with the back leg accompanying the back hand. It was recommended that when delivering a blow that at the end of it the back leg and foot should be compassed about so as to fall roughly into a line with the front foot and the point of the weapon. The same circling round of the back leg was applied to parries also.

The modal frame of The Beatles' "A Hard Day's Night" features a ladder of thirds axially centered on G with a ceiling note of B and floor note of E[] (the low C being a passing tone): "A Hard Day's Night" modal frame. According to Middleton, the song, "at first glance major-key-with-modal- touches", reveals through its "Line of Latent Mode" "a deep kinship with typical blues melodic structures: it is centred on three of the notes of the minor-pentatonic mode [on C: C, E-flat, F, G, B-flat] (E-G-B), with the contradictory major seventh (B) set against that. Moreover, the shape assumed by these notes – the modal frame – as well as the abstract scale they represent, is revealed, too; and this – an initial, repeated circling round the dominant (G), with an excursion to its minor third (B), 'answered' by a fall to the 'symmetrical' minor third of the tonic (E) – is a common pattern in blues."Middleton (1990), p.201.

By 1728, Rich was synonymous with lavish (and successful) productions. Rich performed multiple roles as the “Harlequin” character type while the Company Manager at Lincoln's Inn Fields, including Harlequin Doctor Faustus. Rich was praised for his movement style, allowing each limb to tell a story in shows, such as in Harlequin Sorcerer where he portrayed the harlequin being hatched from an egg. And according to Soame Jenyns's The Art of Dancing (1729: 28–29), Rich was a fine dancer, noted for his elevation: > That Pindar Rich despises Vulgar Roads, > And soars an Eagle’s height among the Clouds, > Whilst humbler Dancers, fearful how they climb, > But buzz below amidst the flow’ry Thyme: > Now soft and slow he bends the circling Round, > Now rises high upon the spritely Bound, > Now springs aloft, too swift for Mortal sight, > Now falls unhurt from some stupendous Height; > Like Proteus, in a thousand Forms is seen, > Sometimes a God, sometimes an Harlequin.
