Couch
A couch, also known as a sofa, settee, or chesterfield, is a cushioned item of furniture for seating multiple people (although it is not uncommon for a single person to use a couch alone). It is commonly found in the form of a bench with upholstered armrests and is often fitted with springs and tailored cushion and pillows. Although a couch is used primarily for seating, it may be used for sleeping. In homes, couches are normally put in the family room, living room, den, or lounge. They are sometimes also found in non-residential settings such as hotels, lobbies of commercial offices, waiting rooms, and bars. Couches can also vary in size, color, and design. Etymology The term ''couch'' originally denoted an item of furniture for lying or sleeping on. ''Couch'' is predominantly used in North America, Australia, South Africa, and Ireland, whereas the terms ''sofa'' and ''settee'' (U and non-U) are most commonly used in the United Kingdom and India.

CouchDB
Apache CouchDB is an open-source document-oriented NoSQL database, implemented in Erlang. CouchDB uses multiple formats and protocols to store, transfer, and process its data. It uses JSON to store data, JavaScript as its query language using MapReduce, and HTTP for an API. CouchDB was first released in 2005 and later became an Apache Software Foundation project in 2008. Unlike a relational database, a CouchDB database does not store data and relationships in tables. Instead, each database is a collection of independent documents. Each document maintains its own data and self-contained schema. An application may access multiple databases, such as one stored on a user's mobile phone and another on a server. Document metadata contains revision information, making it possible to merge any differences that may have occurred while the databases were disconnected. CouchDB implements a form of multiversion concurrency control (MVCC) so it does not lock the database file during wri ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The album peaked at number 75 on the ARIA Charts and was supported by a national tour in 2019. Upon release, Karydas said "It documents an end and the beginning that followed. There are so many things that return me to those summers, like ripe peaches, salt on skin, sweet early morning air before it transcends into unbearable heat, olive groves, the smell of scorched pavement, lemon icy poles." adding "I grew my hair long and listened to Jeff Buckley a lot. Everything was inspiring. I made a record that made me feel good." Background and release In July 2015, Eves Karydas released her debut EP ''Eves the Behaviour'' and shortly after began working on her debut album.
