A pearl is a hard object produced within the soft tissue (specifically the mantle) of a living shelled mollusc. Just like the shell of a clam, a pearl is composed of calcium carbonate in minute crystalline form, which has been deposited in concentric layers. The ideal pearl is perfectly round and smooth, but many other shapes (baroque pearls) occur. The finest quality natural pearls have been highly valued as gemstones and objects of beauty for many centuries. Because of this, pearl has become a metaphor for something rare, fine, admirable and valuable.
The most valuable pearls occur spontaneously in the wild, but are extremely rare. These wild pearls are referred to as natural pearls. Cultured or farmed pearls from pearl oysters and freshwater mussels make up the majority of those currently sold. Imitation pearls are also widely sold in inexpensive jewelry, but the quality of their iridescence is usually very poor and is easily distinguished from that of genuine pearls. Pearls have been harvested and cultivated primarily for use in jewelry, but in the past were also used to adorn clothing. They have also been crushed and used in cosmetics, medicines and paint formulations.
Nat Geo Wild (stylized as Nat Geo WILD or abbreviated as NGW) is a cable/satellite TV channel focused primarily on wildlife and natural history programming. It is a sister network to National Geographic Channel and it is the latest channel to be jointly launched by the National Geographic Society and Fox Cable Networks.
It first launched in Hong Kong on January 1, 2006. The channel later launched in the United Kingdom, Turkey, Ireland, Romania, India, Vietnam, and Poland replacing the now defunct Adventure One. The channel remains the world's first bilingual wildlife service, available in English and Cantonese in the Hong Kong market as well as Tagalog in The Philippines. The channel launched in Latin America on November 1, 2009 as a high definition channel. In 2010, it launched in the United States.
As of February 2015, approximately 57,891,000 American households (49.7% of households with television) receive Nat Geo Wild.
The channel launched in South Africa in mid-2009, and is available on the South African Satellite Network DSTV.
Pink Pearl is the fourth album by American singer/songwriter Jill Sobule, released in 2000. (see 2000 in music).
The record, whose name is both a model of pencil eraser by Eberhard Faber and a slang term for the clitoris, contains the singles "One of These Days" and "Rainy Day Parade".
The album includes the satirical "Heroes", which suggests that every potential hero turns out to be deeply flawed:
The album's "Mary Kay" is a joking yet sympathetic take on Mary Kay Letourneau, the teacher who had sex with a 13-year-old student. "Lucy at the Gym" is a portrait of anorexia.
The song "Mexican Wrestler" was later covered by Emma Roberts on the TV series Unfabulous, for which Sobule writes the music, and also appeared on Roberts' 2005 album Unfabulous and More: Emma Roberts. The track "Rainy Day Parade" was featured on the soundtrack to the Ben Stiller film Mystery Men.
The track "Rock Me to Sleep," co-written with Richard Barone, was featured on the television shows Felicity, Dawson's Creek, and The West Wing. It was also covered by Sally Timms of the Mekons on her 1999 album, Cowboy Sally's Twilight Laments for Lost Buckaroos.

They'd say Pearl go get your boots on, we've got a
field to plow
Girl put down that book you aint got no time to read
right now
Mama she don't know the kind of visions that I see
But my ticket to the world is the soul inside of me
She'd go barefoot down to Beale street, she had no
fancy shoes
She's tell them she was 21 and got paid to sing the
blues
She'd crawl back into her window every night at 2:00 am
And pray her daddy didn't come to steal her innocence
again
But finally she had her bus fare
They never found out where she'd gone
She left a note that said I'm goin' someplace
To make this life a better home
They'd say Pearl go get your boots on, we've got a
field to plow
Girl put down that book you aint got no time to read
right now
Mama she don't know the kind of visions that I see
But my ticket to the world is the soul inside of me
I met her in a lonely church one cloudy afternoon
She was singin' softly to the Lord and fillin' up the
room
I said I've seen you on the big stage, lights and glory
all around
Pearl what brings you to this place, she said it's my
hometown
And I need just like the next one to remember who I was
So I've come back to find forgiveness
To see my past through eyes of love
They'd say Pearl go get your boots on, we've got a
field to plow
Girl put down that book you aint got time to read right
Mama she don't know the kind of visions that I see
But my ticket to the world is the soul inside of me
( Soul inside of me, Soul inside of me, Soul inside of
me )
