title: Screenshop content: Screenshop Screenshop was a British strand of infomercial-based shopping programming and television channel, owned by Sit-up Ltd. Screenshop sold a wide variety of products from TV Warehouse. In 2004, Screenshop 1 began to be run for Sit-Up by Vector Direct. Vector broadcast their presentations exclusively on the channel, and eventually this led to the channel being stripped of its own identity. In 2005, it began to broadcast under Vector Direct's own 'TV Warehouse' brand (as TV Warehouse 1). This may be due to Vector Direct's appearance on the BBC's Watchdog programme, which was due to the company charging unknowing customers


title: Rasputitsa content: Rasputitsa Rasputitsa () is a Russian language term for two periods of the year (or "seasons") when travel on unpaved roads becomes difficult, owing to muddy conditions from rain or thawing snow. That is, it is applied to both spring and autumn. The word ""rasputitsa"" is also used to refer to the condition of roads during both periods. The term is applied to muddy road conditions in Belarus, Russia and Ukraine, which are caused by the poor drainage of underlying clay-laden soils found in the region. Roads are subject to weight limitations and closures during the period in certain districts


title: "John Kay (flying shuttle)" content: worker was needed to catch the shuttle). Kay always called this invention a "wheeled shuttle", but others used the name "fly-shuttle" (and later, "flying shuttle") because of its continuous speed, especially when a young worker was using it in a narrow loom. The shuttle was described as travelling at "a speed which cannot be imagined, so great that the shuttle can only be seen like a tiny cloud which disappears the same instant." In July 1733, Kay formed a partnership in Colchester, Essex to begin fly-shuttle manufacturing. No industrial unrest was anticipated, this being the first device of the modern


title: "Penne alla vodka" content: Penne alla vodka Penne alla vodka is a pasta dish made with vodka and penne pasta, usually made with heavy cream, crushed tomatoes, onions, and sometimes sausage, pancetta or peas. The exact origins of penne alla vodka are unclear. In her book "Food for Friends", Barbara Kafka writes the dish was common in Italy before becoming popular in America in the early 1980s. Grappa, essentially a grape-based vodka, is occasionally used as an emulsifier in Italian cooking. There have been multiple claims to the invention of the dish. According to Pasquale Bruno Jr., author of "The Ultimate Pasta Cookbook", penne


title: "Land Rover Defender" content: the first film of that franchise. The Tomb Raider was designed to look like an off-road expedition vehicle. Painted dark metallic grey with special badging and details, the Tomb Raider came equipped with a roof rack and roof rack support system (looking similar to a roll-cage), additional spot lights, winch, bull-bar and raised air-intake. They were available either as a 90 or a 110 double cab, with standard Td5 engines. The Defender actually used in the film (now on display at the Motor Heritage Centre, Gaydon) was a highly modified 110 HCPU with a specially fitted and tuned V8 petrol


title: Keychain content: Keychain A keychain, or keyring, is a small chain, usually made from metal or plastic, that connects a small item to a keyring. The length of a keychain allows an item to be used more easily than if connected directly to a keyring. Some keychains allow one or both ends the ability to rotate, keeping the keychain from becoming twisted, while the item is being used. A keychain can also be a connecting link between a keyring and the belt of an individual. It is usually employed by personnel whose job demands frequent use of keys, such as a security


title: Keychain content: guard, prison officer, janitor, or retail store manager. The chain is often retractable, and therefore may be a nylon rope, instead of an actual metal chain. The chain ensures that the keys remain attached to the individual using them, makes accidental loss less likely, and saves on wear and tear on the pockets of the user. Keychains are one of the most common souvenir and advertising items. Keychains are commonly used to promote businesses. A standard advertising keychain will carry the businesses name and contact information and often a logo. In the 1950s and 1960s, with the improvement of plastic


title: Keychain content: and "keyring" are often used for software that stores cryptographic keys. The term keychain was first introduced in a series of IBM developerWorks articles. The term is used in GNU Privacy Guard to store known keys on a keyring. Mac OS X uses a password storage system called Keychain. A "keyring" is also the name of a password manager application working under the GNOME desktop manager (used for example in Ubuntu operating system). In cryptography a keyring is a database of multiple keys or passwords. There are also portable Password manager programs, such as keepass and keepassx. Keychain A keychain,


title: "UNIVAC 1100/60" content: UNIVAC 1100/60 The UNIVAC 1100/60, introduced in 1979, continued the venerable UNIVAC 1100 series first introduced in 1962 with the UNIVAC 1107. The 1107 was the first 1100 series machine introduced under the Sperry Corporation name. Like its predecessors, it had support for multiple CPUs; initially only two, but later up to four. It continued the naming convention introduced with the 1100/10, where the last digit represented the number of CPUs (thus, a four CPU system would be an 1100/64). The 1100/60 introduced a new feature to the line: the CPUs used microcode that was loaded during the booting process.


title: Toxocariasis content: the organs and tissues of the accidental host, most commonly the lungs, liver, eyes, and brain. Since L2 larvae cannot mature in accidental hosts, after this period of migration, "Toxocara" larvae will encyst as second stage larvae. Finding "Toxocara" larvae within a patient is the only definitive diagnosis for toxocariasis; however, biopsies to look for second stage larvae in humans are generally not very effective. PCR, ELISA, and serological testing are more commonly used to diagnose "Toxocara" infection. Serological tests are dependent on the number of larvae within the patient, and are unfortunately not very specific. ELISAs are much more


title: "Ranger 8" content: Ranger 8 Ranger 8 was a lunar probe in the Ranger program, a robotic spacecraft series launched by NASA in the early-to-mid-1960s to obtain the first close-up images of the Moon's surface. These pictures helped select landing sites for Apollo missions and were used for scientific study. During its 1965 mission, Ranger 8 transmitted 7,137 lunar surface photographs before it crashed into the Moon as planned. This was the second successful mission in the Ranger series, following Ranger 7. Ranger 8's design and purpose were very similar to those of Ranger 7. It had six television vidicon cameras: two full-scan


title: "Ranger 8" content: the greatest reliability and probability of obtaining high-quality television pictures. No other experiments were carried on the spacecraft. Communications were through the quasiomnidirectional low-gain antenna and the parabolic high-gain antenna. Transmitters aboard the spacecraft included a 60-watt television channel F at 959.52 MHz, a 60-watt television channel P at 960.05 MHz, and a 3-watt transponder channel 8 at 960.58 MHz. The telecommunications equipment converted the composite video signal from the camera transmitters into a radio-frequency signal for subsequent transmission through the spacecraft's high-gain antenna. Sufficient video bandwidth was provided to allow for rapid framing sequences of both narrow- and wide-angle


title: "Suspension bondage" content: Suspension bondage Suspension bondage is a form of sexual bondage where a bound person is hung from one or more overhead suspension points. Suspension bondage is considered to carry a higher risk than other forms of sexual bondage. In "partial suspension" the person is bound in a way that part of their body weight is held by suspension ropes, cables or chains. The classic partial suspension position is to have the person balancing on one foot with part of their weight supported through a chest harness and the other leg pulled up in some direction. A person lying on their


title: Calabash content: "a "totuma" of water", the quantity of water that only one "totuma" can hold. It is a joke because it exaggerates the original words, because a "totuma" is a device that carries very little quantity of water, not enough for bathing (not even to get wet). Additionally, the gourd can be dried and used to smoke pipe tobacco, usually constructed with a meerschaum lining holding the lit tobacco within the gourd. A typical design yielded by this squash is recognized (theatrically) as the pipe of Sherlock Holmes, but Doyle never mentioned Holmes using a calabash pipe. It was the preferred


title: "Dean of the House (Canada)" content: presided. The first time the modern election system for speaker was used was in 1994. During these elections, the Dean of the House takes the role of presiding officer. If the longest serving member is a Cabinet Minister, party Leader, House Leader or Whip, they are not able to act as presiding officer. In 1994, following the 1993 election, Len Hopkins filled this role as Herb Gray, the longest serving member, was in Cabinet. Although Gray was in cabinet, he was still referred to as Dean both in Hansard and by the press. The current Dean of the House is

Stores may have a deli counter, a meat department, a produce section, a flower department, a bakery, a pharmacy, a liquor section, and/or many aisles of nonperishable items. The stores offer many in-house private label brands as well as name brands across all product categories. In April 1915, Marion Barton Skaggs purchased his father's grocery store in American Falls, Idaho, for $1,089. The chain, which operated as two separate businesses, Skaggs Cash Stores and Skaggs

On September 7, 2016, it was announced that nine Albertsons stores in the Denver Metro area would be re-bannered as Safeway, as Safeway is the stronger brand in the Denver Area. The name change happened October 19, 2016. As of 2014, Safeway had a total of 1,335 stores in the United States and 195 in Mexico with its partnership with Casa Ley. The largest concentration of Safeway branches is in Washington with 168 stores and then Colorado with


title: "Underground press" content: prisoners of war (POWs) published an underground newspaper called POW WOW. In Eastern Europe, also since approximately 1940, underground publications were known by the name "samizdat". The countercultural underground press movement of the 1960s borrowed the name from previous "underground presses" such as the Dutch underground press during the Nazi occupations of the 1940s. Those predecessors were truly "underground", meaning they were illegal, thus published and distributed covertly. While the countercultural "underground" papers frequently battled with governmental authorities, for the most part they were distributed openly through a network of street vendors, newsstands and head shops, and thus reached a


title: "UFO Club" content: If a big name such as Jeff Beck was playing, UFO broke even, but the club usually lost money. In October 1967 the UFO Club at the Roundhouse folded. The hard rock band UFO is named after this club. After a sordid article published in the News of the World on 30 July, the landlord told Joe Boyd the UFO could not continue at the Blarney. Brian Epstein offered the Champagne Lounge at his Saville Theatre but Boyd decided on the larger Roundhouse venue.

The optical zoom cameras can be set first before its maximum and then followed by its digital zoom in video mode only, but most cameras use digital zoom after the optical zoom reaches the maximum for photo and video. Digital zoom use the center area of the optical image to enlarge the image. By reducing the MP image size, using digital zoom can be done without image deterioration and some cameras has Undeteriorated image mode or at least has Image deterioration indicator.

When using digital zoom for video, the camera can take up to 382.6x magnification in VGA with Deteriorated image quality, and up to 172.8x with Undeteriorated image quality. But because video take multiframes per second, so between Deteriorated image quality and Undeteriorated image quality will be not much different. Nowadays cameras usually have iZoom (intelligent zoom) with an additional magnification of 2.0x of its optical zoom. Many cameras have 2 options: 1.4x and 2.0x. The iZoom only uses the center of the

The terms among camera manufacturers are “Smart Zoom” (Sony), “Safe Zoom” (Canon) and “Intelligent Zoom” (Panasonic and others). There are also cameras with digital zooms as high as 7.2x and SmartZoom with approximately 30x total zoom (optical zoom 20x and digital zoom 1.5x) for 7MP from 16MP total resolution and also 144x total zoom (optical zoom 20x and digital zoom 7.2x) for VGA 640x480.

It is also seen as accidental, however, as they are normally phrases that are so frequently or casually used, that the true significance of the words is not fully appreciated. Allusion is most often used in conversation, dialogue or metaphor. For example, "I was surprised his nose was not growing like Pinocchio's." This makes a reference to "The Adventures of Pinocchio", written by Carlo Collodi when the little wooden puppet lies. If this was obligatory intertextuality in a text, multiple references to this

Victor Argo Victor Argo (November 5, 1934 – April 7, 2004) was an American actor of Puerto Rican descent who usually played the part of a tough bad guy in his movies. Argo was born Victor Jimenez in The Bronx, New York. Both of his parents were born in the town of Quebradillas, Puerto Rico. Argo began his career as a stage actor. While performing in an Off-Broadway play during the 1960s, Argo met Yoko Ono, with whom he participated in the so-called "Happening" movement. He also became friends with the then fledgling actor Harvey Keitel, with whom


title: "Batting order (baseball)" content: Batting order (baseball) In baseball, the batting order or batting lineup is the sequence in which the members of the offense take their turns in batting against the pitcher. The batting order is the main component of a team's offensive strategy. In Major League Baseball, the batting order is set by the manager, who before the game begins must present the home plate umpire with two copies of his team's lineup card, a card on which a team's starting batting order is recorded. The home plate umpire keeps one copy of the lineup card of each team, and gives the

Early forms of baseball or rounders from the mid 19th century did not require a fixed batting order; any player who was not on base could be called upon to bat. The concept of a set batting order is said to have been invented by Alexander Cartwright, who also instituted rules such as the foul ball and tagging the runner (as opposed to pegging him with the ball), and devised the shortstop position.


title: "Batting order (baseball)" content: hitter in the second spot would make it easier for a man on base to steal second. On a very good team this batter can have characteristics of both a leadoff hitter and a power hitter (Manny Machado, Curt Flood, Joe Morgan, Robin Yount, Alan Trammell, Aaron Judge), in some such cases abandoning the advantage of having a left-hand hitter in favor of a good right-handed hitter. The third batter, in the "three-hole", is generally the best all-around hitter on the team, often hitting for a high batting average but not necessarily very fast. Part of his job is to


title: "Batting order (baseball)" content: this case, he must battle the pitcher to get on base so that the ninth hitter can come up. That way, even if the ninth hitter gets out, the top of the order comes up next. Very often the #7 hitter is a catcher, commonly the slowest baserunner on a team whose lack of speed would contribute to a large number of double plays higher in the order even if he is a good hitter (Bill Freehan). The eighth batter is often a good contact hitter, and can be used as a back-up #2 hitter. In leagues without designated hitters


title: "Picardy third" content: Picardy third A Picardy third, Picardy cadence () or, in French, tierce picarde, is a major chord of the tonic at the end of a musical section that is either modal or in a minor key. This is achieved by raising the third of the expected minor triad by a semitone to create a major triad, as a form of resolution. For example, instead of a cadence ending on an A minor chord containing the notes A, C, and E, a Picardy third ending would consist of an A major chord containing the notes A, C, and E. Note that

Smith's splash page for issue #168, of Kitty Pryde in a ski jacket sharply turning towards the reader, has been the subject of numerous homages and imitations. He also drew the "X-Men / Alpha Flight" limited series during his run, though it would not be published until later. A few months after leaving "The Uncanny X-Men", Smith returned as the regular artist on "Doctor Strange". He worked on that series from #65 to #73, drawing seven of

Prior to the current Batavia franchise, professional baseball in the city dates back to 1890's when Batavia played in the Western New York League along with teams in nearby LeRoy, Perry and Warsaw. The Batavia Giants, sometimes referred to as the Reds because of their crimsons uniforms, were the first classified team in the city making their debut - after some rainouts - on May 14, 1897 against the Auburn franchise at a stadium built on Swan Street; future major leaguer Jack Burns batted third and played shortstop.

title: "Pyrus calleryana" content: At the latitude of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the trees often remain green until mid-November, and in warm autumns, the colors are often bright, although in a cold year they may get frozen off before coloring. In the South, Callery pears tend to be among the more reliable coloring trees. The Bradford pear and related cultivars of "Pyrus calleryana" are regarded as invasive species in many areas of eastern and mid-Western North America, outcompeting many native plants and trees. In the northeastern United States, wild Callery pears sometimes form extensive, nearly pure stands in old fields, along roadsides, and in similar disturbed


title: "Pyrus calleryana" content: The resulting wild individuals, of various genetic backgrounds, can in turn interbreed, producing more viable seed and furthering expansion and dispersal of the wild stand of the species. These plants often differ from the selected cultivars in their irregular crown shape and (sometimes) presence of thorns. Callery pear is reported as established outside cultivation in 152 counties in 25 states in the United States. While these wild plants are sometimes called "Bradford pear" (for the 'Bradford' cultivar), they are actually wild-growing descendants of multiple genotypes of "Pyrus calleryana," and hence more correctly referred to by the common (or scientific) name


title: "Pyrus calleryana" content: of the species itself. The Bradford pear in particular has become further regarded as a nuisance tree for its initially neat, dense upward growth, which made it desirable in cramped urban spaces. Without corrective selective pruning at an early stage these weak crotches result in a multitude of narrow, weak forks, very susceptible to storm damage. Because of this, and the resulting relatively short life span (typically less than 25 years), many groups have discouraged further planting of 'Bradford' and other similarly structurally deficient Callery pear cultivars (such other as 'Cleveland Select') in favor of increasing use of locally native


title: "Pipe wrench" content: Pipe wrench A pipe wrench is any of several types of wrench that are designed to turn threaded pipe and pipe fittings for assembly (tightening) or disassembly (loosening). Especially in North America, the Stillson wrench or Stillson-pattern wrench is the usual form of pipe wrench. (The name comes from the original patent holder, who licensed the pattern to multiple manufacturers; the patent expired decades ago.) Another type of wrench often used on pipes, the plumber wrench, is also often called a pipe wrench, depending on locale. The Stillson type is an adjustable wrench/spanner with hardened serrated teeth on its jaws;

These compounds are formally invariable in the plural (but in many cases they have been reanalyzed as plural forms, and a singular form has appeared). French and Italian have these same compounds with the noun in the singular form: Italian "grattacielo", 'skyscraper'; French "grille-pain", 'toaster' (lit. 'toast bread').

Their most famous single is their self-titled song, "8 Foot Sativa", which was number one on the M2 (a late night New Zealand music show) top 12 list for 12 weeks, and stayed on the chart for seven months. The band has toured and released albums internationally, and have played alongside artists such as Fear Factory, Soulfly, Korn, Slipknot, System of a Down, Children of Bodom, Disturbed, Motörhead, Pungent Stench, Shihad and Corrosion of Conformity. 8 Foot Sativa have become a household name in

They both enjoyed metal music and played music together. Peter 'Speed' Young from Kelston Boys' High School joined the band as the band's drummer. 'Fat' Dave was on the bass guitar. In their early days, they were a cover band, who would play music from Pantera, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Sepultura, Metallica and Slayer. 'Fat' Dave would often not

The band would meet their next vocalist, Ari, at a music school, where they formally learned at where he was doing drums. Ari was the first vocalist to do original songs, writing lyrics to the songs " 'Fuel Set' ", " 'Kick it all Away' " and " 'Engine' ", all of which later appears on their debut album. During this time, the band met Justin 'Jackhammer' Niessen at a mall. According to Gary Smith: "He used to sneak into the gigs and we'd sneak him beers".


title: "8 Foot Sativa" content: After Ari disappearance from the band, not to be seen by the band for a few years, Niessen became the new vocalist. Niessen is famed by many 8 Foot Sativa fans, for occasionally performing his vocals to the point of collapsing. This had happened once on New Zealand music show Space while performing 'Destined to be Dead'. NZMusician.com claims that these collapses were due to, "shortage of breath attributed to a lack of vocal training". In 2002, 8 Foot Sativa released their debut album, "Hate Made Me", with the album later receiving gold status within New Zealand for selling more

He was replaced with Sinate drummer, Sam Sheppard. This album features what is probably 8 Foot Sativa's most well-known song, the eponymous "8 Foot Sativa", which is a staple at their live shows. It also appeared in an episode of Monster Garage. In 2003, 8 Foot Sativa released their second album "Season for Assault", with it nearing gold status within New Zealand. The album features well- known songs "Chelsea Smile" and "Season For Assault". Season For Assault sees 'Sativa lift their

Niessen resigned from the band two weeks before they were set to fly to Sweden to record their third album. The singer position was vacant for two days, with Sam Sheppard's brother, and fellow Sinate member, Matt Sheppard, became 8 Foot Sativa's new vocalist. With a new vocalist, 8 Foot Sativa released their third album "Breed the Pain" in 2005. It was recorded at Studio Underground in Sweden. Matt Sheppard wrote or co-wrote six of the songs on the album,
