Time shifting
Time shifting refers to the saving of a program (audio/visual) to a storage medium for future use. Specific types of softwares are listed below. Time_shifting

TiVo
TiVo is a common brand of DVR (Digital Video Recorder) in the United States. The DVR is a device which allows viewers to record television programs onto a hard disk, enabling the program to be watched at a different time than when it airs. The recording can also be done at the same time as viewing another program; this is called "time shifting". TiVo Tivo can be programed to automatically record specific shows, or even entire seasons of shows. Because it is set up with an account, it can be accessed anywhere in the world.

VOD
VOD, or Video on Demand is a system that allows viewers to watch videos or clips of videos over a network. It is part of an interactive television system. (Wikipedia 2007).

VOD has a hard drive around 200 hours and is able to save and play back video when you want at your convenience

Video on Demand has its advantage over pay per view because it allows you to start the movie you want as soon as you order. It also allows you to watch the movie as many times as you want in a 24 hr period.

The first commercial VOD service to take place was in Hong Kong in 1990. Video_on_demand

space shifting
Is similar to time shifting only in the way of storage. Space shifted materials are usually converted into a different file type, which leads to legal arguments about copyright infringement.Space_shifting

MobiTV
Is a global television and digital radio provider for mobile phones, palm devices, PCs and Windows mobiles. This service makes it possible for individuals to have access several popular TV and radio stations right from their personal phone! (wikipedia, 2007)

TU Media
TU Media stands for "TV for you". It was the frist mobile service company and is based in Seoul, South Korea. Currently there are about a half million subscribersTU_Media

digital radio
Digital radio is the next generation of radio. It has the capacity to provide listeners with more services, clearer reception and sound quality and a range of other features, including tuning by station name, record and rewind capability, text information, graphics, pictures and web pages.

Digital radio offers:

Better Sound and Reception

The digital radio receiver locks on to the strongest signal it can find and ignores everything else.

More Choice

As digital radio transmission is far more efficient than analogue AM/FM, more stations can be broadcast within the same amount spectrum. This means it has the potential to offer new services to expand listeners' choice - specialist program formats, for example, such as sport or specialist music.

Easier Tuning

With digital radio there's no need to remember the frequencies of stations, as you can tune by station name.

Rewind and Record

Digital radio receivers are essentially computers that receive and decode a digital program stream into a format that you can hear (and see in the small screen). Like computers, they also have the capacity to store information. Digital radio receivers can therefore pause, re-wind for a few minutes or store audio (via a memory card) for later listening.

satellite
Satellite radio is also called digital radio. This radio service is sent from satelites that are orbiting the earth. Only people that subscribe to this service have access to decoding their signals. Exx. Sirius radio and XM radio Sirius Canada has approx. 300,000 paid subscribers while XM radio has around 270,000. (wikipedia, 2007) Approx. 4 million subscribers in the states. Subscription is approx $9.95/month - $12.95/month. There are are 2 SDARS ( satellite digital audio radio service ) providers in the states. Satellite radio allows the subscriber to access more content from different parts of the globe, providing greater variety in their music/talk show selection.

CD quality
The quality is as good as a CD!

hundreds of channels
Compared to a regular radio, digital radio has many more channels available.

No Commercials
No commercials as the radio is sponsored by the satellite provider and of course, the subscribers also share the burden of the cost of operation.

HD radio
Is a higher quality of media output compared to the traditional radio. Using better compression and better delivery methods to a propriety equipment, The client will be able to enjoy a wider range of programs at close to CD quality. How it operates (four steps): 1. Radio Stations 2. Digital Signal Layer 3. Combined Analog 4. Receivers Reduce Interface

analog + 2 digital
Just because you want the latest and greatest, it doesn't mean you have to abandon the old analog format completely. The new HD radio receivers are often HYBRID which will allow the client to listen to more choices of stations.

better quality
The compression of music is increase thus allowing close to CD quality medias to be streamed to the radio.

hundreds of channels
1200 stations to choose from AM and FM frequency

free
YES! Like traditional radio stations, all the programming in HD Radio both in FM and AM are FREE as they are supported by commercial advertising.

Hd_radio

internet radio

Internet radio is a free service provided so that you can access a wider range of music just as easily as digital radio. Internet radio can be streamed and played by a software media player in the computer, such as iTunes. Internet radio offers listeners with a continuous stream of audio that the listener cannot alter. It also provides listeners with the ability to listen in on international stations.[ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_radio]

most popular
The most popular internet radio providers are Yahoo, AOL & MSN.

hundreds of channels
Currently there are more than 4,000 broadcasts available on the Internet.

free
Most internet radio broadcasts are free, such as SHOUT, Yahoo and Pandora.

MP3 players

An MP3 is a device used to listen to music (or recordings) portably. The most famous of which is an Apple iPod. MP3 is a format that allows audio recordings to be compressed so they are small enough to be sent over the internet or stored as a digital file.

hard drive vs flash
A hard drive is much more common than a flash drive as it allows for more downloads, although a flash drive is susceptible to a drive crash.

sampling rate
This is the amount of times, in KB/second that a song is recorded and converted into a digital value. The better quality the song (or sampling rate) the more space it will take on your MP3.

video
Some MP3 players, such as the Apple iPod offer music video downloads along with the song. This obviously takes a lot more space.

listening habits
An MP3 makes listening to music in any environment possible. Some examples are: while working, during a boring lecture, jogging or while being forced to listen to someone's horrible taste in music in the car. (Selena & Mardi)

It is important because users have access to hundreds of songs while they are on the go!!!!

clearer
Digital television (DTV) is a television system that uses digital signals, rather than analog signals used by analog (traditional) TV.DTV (digital television) is much clearer than analog TV. Picture and sound quality are noticeably better because digital transmissions are free of snow, ghosts, or static noises.

http://dtvfacts.com/

Less prone to interference than an analog TV

not pure digital
DTV takes analog broadcast signals, coverts them into digital signals and then coverts them back into analog signals for viewing.

digital broadcast by 2006
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has mandated that all TV stations must be able to broadcast DTV by 2006. Viewers will be able to get movie-quality pictures, CD-quality sound as well as receive different kinds of information services.

The expected problems are that the old analog tv's will not work after the switch to digital. Some governments have allocated money for people to purchase the converter boxes that will soon be necessary. They also plan to use some of that money for public education on the digital transition.

HDTV

HDTV is short for "high definition television". It has a wider screen and a higher resolution than standard resolution. The term "high definition" was first used in the 1930's and 1940's to describe the television systems in their infancy. The High Definition works with digital broadcasting signals and has a wider screen and higher resolution than standard resolution. HDTV technology was introduced in the United States in the 1990s by the Digital HDTV Grand Alliance, a group of television companies and MIT. Terrestrial Analog Broadcasting will be terminated in all full power stations and replaced by Digital broadcasting, as of February 17, 2009.

Way More Clear
HDTV makes its picture clearer by using a wider screen and a greater resolution

HDTV allows for smoother motion, more natural colors, surround sound, and allows several input devices to work together. HDTV

pure digital
Pure Digital refers to a constant stream of digital view as opposed to streams of digital-analog-digital

16x9 like movies (not 4x3 like TV)
Standard televisions have a 4:3 width:height ratio, whereas in contrast a HDTV has a 16:9 width:height ratio.

expensive
Brand new HDTV's can cost anywhere between $500- $2000, but it all depends on the style of the TV, a tube system will cost less than a projection system

New York Leads in HD Uptake
New Yorkers are leading in numbers when it comes to the HD movement. A recent survey shows that 17.5 percent of New Yorkers get HD broadcasts, above the 11.3 percent national average.

It is important because it has a wider screen and resolution than a regular tv.

Aigo USB Dongle
This new Dongle toy is one of many HD (High Definition) transmitters being installed in taxis, buses and public places all over China. It uses a chip which picks up China's new HDTV mobile broadcast network. The network was set up specifically for Beijing's 2008 Olympics. Just plug it into a laptop's USB port and receive the HD wireless feed.

SDTV
Standard-definition television or SDTV refers to television systems that have a resolution that meets standards but not considered either enhanced definition or high definition. The term is usually used in reference to digital television, in particular when broadcasting at the same (or similar) resolution as analog systems. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard-definition_television

The difference between SDTV and HDTV is that the signal on SDTV is more compressed than that of HDTV. As the digital signal is compressed, broadcasters can transmit five SDTV programs, whereas HDTV can only broadcast one. Multiple program broadcasting, called multicasting, was not previously available with analog transmissions. The picture definition of SDTV is also slightly lower than on HDTV.

DVD clearer (less than HDTV)
Standard definition is equal to that of a DVD.

Quality of media that does not match high-definition or enhanced definition, so it is refered to as standard. SDTV

more stations
Because an HDTV is so expensive, broadcasters will use SDTV instead.

It is important because it enables broadcasters to transmit more info within the bandwidth allowing them to multicast their products.

Smell-Phones
Do you need to freshen up your room? Usually, to acquire a pleasant smell, one must either light up a scented candle or obtain the object that produces the desired smell. But wouldn't it be easier to simply press a few buttons on your cell phone? NTT Communication has decided to attempt to create such a phone.

This may seem a bit far fetched, sending smells from cell phone to cell phone. But sounds and images and even videos have traveled with cell phones, why not smells? NTT Communication has found a reasonable, reachable, believable method of allowing smells to travel, too. In their new cell-phones, sixteen base smells are stored. To send a fragrance, one must simply select the scent they would like to send. Then, the sending cell phone gives a "recipe" to the receiving cell phone. This recipe instructs the phone to release certain amounts of certain base smells. These base smells will combine to give off a familiar fragrance, such as roses or vanilla. This is much like how a printer combines the primary colours to make thousands of colours.

Furthermore, a holder of these new cell phones can create new smells with the base smells. If they wish they can post these recipes on the internet for fellow scented cell phone holders to use.

digital camera
[[Image:800px-Small_sipix_ubt.jpeg|thumb|200px|[[w:Image:Small_sipix_ubt.jpeg|Example of a digital camera]]]A digital camera is an electronic device used to capture and store pictures digitally, instead of using film like regular cameras. Digital_camera It then can be downloaded onto a computer to be edited and/or printed.

Older types of cameras tend to use 35mm photographic tape to store images. Most digital cameras are multi-functional, being able to record video, sound as well as pictures in digital format. Digital_camera

point n’ shoot
Point n' Shoot cameras are (compact cameras) designed primarily for simple operation (eg taking pictures on a trip). Most of them use autofocus or focus free lenses and automatic exposure as well. Point-and-shoots are by far the best selling type of camera. They are really simple to use. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-and-shoot_camera

SLR
SLR stands for single lens reflex in digital cameras. This particular design allows one camera to accommodate a very wide range of lens focal lengths. SLR has only one lens, and a mirror diverts the image from the lens into the viewfinder; that mirror then retracts when the picture is taken so that the image can be recorded on the light sensor. http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-7603_7-6241014-1.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-and-shoot_camera

megapixels
a megapixel refers to one million pixels. Each pixel is a single point or "sample" in a graphic image. With context to the digital camera, megapixels refers to the number of sensor elements or number of display elements. With a greater number of megapixels, the higher resolution photos a camera will be able to take, because the image will contain more data that translates to greater detail in the photo. Most digitals cameras today have approximately 5-10 MP. (http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/mpmyth.htm)

storage
Flash memory card stores pictures instead of being stored on film. Flash card come in different formats, such as: Secure Digital, Multimedia, Compact Flash, Memory Sick and Smart Media. Most digital cameras come with a starter card that holds a handful of photos. You can get reusable cards with at least 1 Gigabyte of storage space holding hundreds images.

LCD screens
LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display. Liquid crystals are lined up between two sheets of glass. They are chemically altered to transmit or block light. LCD is used in digital cameras, cellular phones, and digital clocks.

3D LCD TVs Could Debut Within Two Years
A Taiwanese research group has developed 3D (three-dimensional) television picture technology that can be used on LCD (liquid crystal display) TVs as big as 42 inches, and believes such TVs will be on sale within two years. Users would be required to wear a specific polarized set of glasses for a clear 3D picture on the 3D LCD TV.

video clips
The digital camera also has the ability to record images in video format. Whereas before, a digital camera could only shoot about 30 seconds of video, today some digital cameras can shoot as much as 44minutes of video.

transfer images
The principal methods for transferring images from the digital camera: 1) By using a direct connection between your camera and computer usually with a USB cable. 2) Insert the memory card into your computer or a card reader. 3) Putting the camera in a cradle attached to the PC 4) Using a photo printer with a built in card reader. 5) Use a portable hard drive-a Tripper. 6) Use a portable CD burner 7) Use a photo lab or a photo-printing kiosk.

PDA
Stands for 'Personal Digital Assistants' which are basically a pocket sized computer that's used for calculations, calendars, reminders, e-mails etc. Personal_digital_assistant

flash memory
A memory storage device in which the data is retained when power has been turned off.( non-volatile memory ) Lead to the introduction of small, light-weight items including PDA's.

synchronizing
The ability to coordinate data with a PC. Ensures that information stored on a PDA is up to date and consistent with the host computer. Personal_digital_assistant

Personal Digital Assistant might be able to play TV shows Both broadcasting and receiving moving pictures and sound over a distance. Television

photographs
Rather than using a PDA as an organizer, it may also become a handheld device that takes and displays photos, or powerpoint slides Photograph

weather meter
Handheld weather meter can be useful to predict future weather conditions when going swimming, planning to play golf, or even going on a picnic. Also, a handheld weather meter may even detect wind chill perfect for snowboarders

GPS
Wrist watch models of GPS (geo postioning system), a satellite based navigation system allows clients to monitor heart rates when jogging. PDAs and even regular cellphones also have GPS capability to allow clients to know where they are. GPS locators have already become popular with serious hiking buffs.

Tablets
A Tablet PC is a notebook or slate-shaped mobile computer. Its touchscreen or graphics tablet/screen hybrid technology allows the user to operate the computer with a stylus or digital pen, or a fingertip, instead of a keyboard or mouse.A user can enter text using handwriting recognition, an on-screen (virtual) keyboard, speech recognition, or standard keyboard. Shorthand-like entry methods, which enable pen-driven input at speeds comparable to touch-typing.

There are different types of Tablets:

Slates
Slates, which resemble writing slates, are tablet PCs without a dedicated keyboard. Keyboards can usually be attached via a wireless or USB connection.

Thin-client slates
Thin-client slates consist of a touchscreen and an integrated wireless connection device. These units by design have limited processing power which is chiefly involved with Input/Output data processing such as video display, network communications, audio encoding/decoding, and input capture (touchscreen input, bar code reading, magnetic stripe reading (credit card swipe). The unit transmits data via a secured wireless connection to a remote server for processing

Convertibles
Convertible notebooks have a base body with an attached keyboard. They more closely resemble modern notebooks/laptops, and are usually heavier and larger than slates.

Hybrids
Hybrids share the features of the slate and convertible by using a detachable keyboard which operates in a similar fashion to a convertible when attached.

This is not to be confused with slate models that have a detachable keyboard—detachable keyboards for pure slate models do not rotate around to allow the tablet to rest on it like a convertible.

2nd life
Second Life is an Internet-based virtual world which came to international attention via mainstream news media in late 2006 and early 2007. A downloadable client program called the Second Life Viewer enables its users, called "Residents", to interact with each other, providing an advanced level of a social network service combined with general aspects of a metaverse. Residents can explore, meet other Residents, socialize, participate in individual and group activities, create and trade items (virtual property) and services from one another.Second_Life A similar program to the one Second Life will be adding is called BrainGate. It is a brain implant system designed to help those who have lost control of their limbs, or other bodily functions, such as patients with (ALS) or spinal cord injury. A computer chip is implanted into the brain, it monitors brain activity in the patient and converts the intention of the user into computer commands. Hair-thin electrodes sense the electro-magnetic signature of neurons firing in specific areas of the brain, the activity is translated into electrically charged signals and are then sent and decoded using a program, which can move either a robotic arm or a computer cursor.BrainGate

Second life is a program that can be used successfully with those who are paralyzed to stimulate mobility, it could also trace brain activity and arrest disease, it is capable of interpreting intention and commercial transations could be activated with the use of Linden dollars which can be later exchanged for US dollars.

Second Life can be used in a distance learning technology where virtual (but real) you can take classes; get a real filling of meeting other students, borrow books from libraries, do Tai Chi, go to the beach. This is very useful for people who are not able to go to the class or for people who don’t want to leave their homes. http://www.kqed.org/quest/television/view/611 (http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,139969-c,technology/article.html)

Other benefits for Wii owners is that, they are able to view:Commercials, box art, game play footage screen shots, and interviews about various Nintendo products including prices and release dates for upcoming DS and Wii games.

Description
The Wii is the fifth home video game console released by nintendo. The distinguishing feature of the Wii is it wireless controller (the wii remote) which can be used as a handheld pointing device and can detect acceleration in three dimensions. There have been many speculations as to why the company chose Wii for the name, the official reason is “ Wii sounds like 'we', which emphasizes that the console is for everyone. Wii can easily be remembered by people around the world, no matter what language they speak. No confusion. No need to abbreviate. Just Wii.[11] ”. The Wii remote is the main controler for the console. It uses built-in accelerometers and infrared detection to sense its position in 3D space when its pointed at the LED lights within the sensor bar. It connects to the concole using bluetooth.

Even Microsoft has noticed Nintendos success with their new Bluetooth infused controllers. In late 2008 Microsoft plans to release a "Wii" like controller for their current gaming consol, the Xbox 360. http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,144223/article.html?tk=nl_dnxnws

Wii They are a great alternative for kids and families as the games are generally rated E for everyone and it keeps kids active while they are gaming.

Cost
The Wii's price at the time of introduction was approximately $249.99, with the remote costing $39.99 and the individulal games costing $49.99. Prices have been $100 - $200 more than the asking price because of the high demand, but do expect to go down to the average of $250 soon.

Supply
Wii is available for purchase at all major department stores. There have been some speculations that Nintendo has been producing fewer units than needed to meet demand, thus increasing the price people will pay for it. There are approximately 1.8 millions Wii units produced per month.

Demand
Since first launching the Wii in November of last year, Nintendo has seen widespread shortages at retail. The demand has been so high that Nintendo says it is working at maximum capacity in producing 1.8 million Wii units per month, hopefully in time for Christmas.

Safety and Ergonomics
Prolonged use of computers can be a health risk to your body.

eye
The eye can also be a victim and symptom of extended use on the computer. This eye condition also called "Computer Vision Syndrome" or CVS and is a member of the family referred to RSI or Repetitive Strain Injury. Prolonged periods of continuous focusing on a computer screen for uninterrupted periods of time. Aggravating the condition can be improper light or air moving past the eye from overhead vents or fans. Symptoms of the condition can include headaches, blurred vision, neck pain, fatigue, eye strain, dry, irritated and difficulty on refocusing.

A couple of ways to treat the condition is to allow time to rest your eye, redirecting your focus away from the screen, also the purchase of over the counter eye drops are both easy solutions. There is a catchphrase that has proven to be a well know solution among "computerites". It is called 20-20-20 ~ focus your eyes on an object 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes.

neck/back
'Neck and back pain are common complaints. The cause is usually poor posture, which decreases blood flow to certain muscles. These muscles stiffen up and hurt.'

Neck Pain: Often begins gradually as a result of fixed staring at a small area or glancing repeatedly from one to another (from the screen to a document on your desk for example). If the head is held at an angle greater than 15 degrees (for example holding the phone between your neck or shoulder, or looking down at your keyboard) will cause greater muscular fatigue and pain will become apparent more rapidly

Back Pain: Sitting is one of the hardest positions in which to maintain proper posture, and many computer users regularly feel back pain. Spinal compression is one of the most common problems because sitting tends to tilt the pelvis backward, flattening the lumbar curve and resulting in uneven and increased pressure on spinal disks.

Prevention ]]
 * Be sure you have a proper workstation set-up.
 * Take active breaks, move around and do a few stretches.
 * Shift positions every now and then.
 * Try not to fall habitually into one computer position – even small changes help avoid overtaxing certain muscles.
 * Try not to round your shoulders – this puts extra pressure on your upper spine.
 * Stay active, get up and move around to circulate your blood. Sitting still for too long can slow blood circulation and muscle fatigue can set in.

wrist
RSI (also know as cumulative trauma disorder) is a soft-tissue injury in which muscles, nerves, or tendons become irritated or inflamed. RSI is caused by repetitive motions, excessive force, and extremes of motion. Over time these motions can strain the soft tissues, reducing circulation. These stresses create tiny tears in the muscles and tendons, which become inflamed. In extreme cases it can cause permanent tissue damage and disability.

The computer keyboard is an ergonomic nightmare. It tends to force you into an unnatural palms-down (pronated) wrist-cocked position. This strains the delicate muscles and tendons of the fingers and wrists, reducing circulation.

Carpal tunnel syndrome as referred to by many different websites is one of the main injuries associated with the wrist. Daily exercises and breaks away from the repetitive typing of the computer can help alleviate some of the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome.

Symptoms usually start gradually, with frequent burning, tingling, or itching numbness in the palm of the hand and the fingers, especially the thumb and the index and middle fingers. Some carpal tunnel sufferers say their fingers feel useless and swollen, even though little or no swelling is apparent. The symptoms often first appear in one or both hands during the night, since many people sleep with flexed wrists. A person with carpal tunnel syndrome may wake up feeling the need to "shake out" the hand or wrist. As symptoms worsen, people might feel tingling during the day. Decreased grip strength may make it difficult to form a fist, grasp small objects, or perform other manual tasks. In chronic and/or untreated cases, the muscles at the base of the thumb may waste away. Some people are unable to tell between hot and cold by touch.

Prevention At the workplace, workers can do on-the-job conditioning, perform stretching exercises, take frequent rest breaks, wear splints to keep wrists straight, and use correct posture and wrist position. Wearing fingerless gloves can help keep hands warm and flexible. Workstations, tools and tool handles, and tasks can be redesigned to enable the worker's wrist to maintain a natural position during work. Jobs can be rotated among workers. Employers can develop programs in ergonomics, the process of adapting workplace conditions and job demands to the capabilities of workers. However, research has not conclusively shown that these workplace changes prevent the occurrence of carpal tunnel syndrome.

 * Charli XCX 2020 by Gareth Cattermole.png

Associated acts and genres
In making a series of changes to this article, I was recently met with disagreement from fellow user. I reinstated the edit without discussion, which I definitely should not have done (and which Almostangelic justly called out). However, I still believe the edits I made are improvements.

One of the sources of contention was that "associated acts that were added are NOT associated! Especially when it’s a producer who has only produced one or two songs". I believe this to be either a mischaracterization of information or a possible blind spot, as I changed the associated acts.

I removed Icona Pop and Iggy Azale, as both have only collaborated with Charli once. This to me seems to clearly not define an "associated act", as that would mean Christine and the Queens, Sky Ferreira, Tommy Cash, Haim, Lizzo, Big Freedia, Clairo, and Yaeji would all be added just from Charli feature list alone.

As for additions and changes here, I added BJ Burton, Danny L Harle, Dylan Brady, Easyfun, and Stargate. These are producers Charli has worked with extensively:
 * Burton executive produced How I'm Feeling Now in addition to producing or co-producing six tracks from it. That alone warrants a significant connection.
 * Harle should be removed, I thought he'd collaborated with her more than twice but I was mistaken.
 * Brady has produced three songs on her last two albums, contributed music to a fourth, remixed a song, and collaborated with her as part of 100 Gecs.
 * Easyfun (real name Finn Keane) has produced five songs himself and another two with Easy FX (him and Cook).
 * Stargate have produced seven songs for Charli, including a few for that cancelled album a few years back.

Saying that producers being invalid inclusions because of a couple songs while including Azalea and Icona Pop is misguided in my opinion, but it's also outright incorrect as I've illustrated. Also, I moved Nasty Cherry to the top, as generally acts that an individual is a member of are placed first. There's no MOS for this so I have no strong feelings about its placement, but that's why I moved it up.

As for genre, I simplified to pop and pop-punk based on Template:Infobox musical artist. Dance-pop, electropop, and avant-pop are all subgenres of pop, so a simple "pop" can cover it with further subgenres being explored in the article body, rather than repeatedly putting weight on the Cosmopolitan source as if a single magazine has more bearing than the numerous other sources listing genres in the same section. Pop-punk is largely considered a subgenre of rock so its inclusion made sense to me as a clear distinction.

This has been very long, but hopefully it explains my changes and thought process better. I'd love to hear thoughts from both Almostangelic and any other editors who follow this page. Sock  ( tock talk)  16:57, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Oborniki

Oborniki is a town in west-central Poland, in Greater Poland Voivodeship, about 30 km north of Poznań. It is the capital of Oborniki County and of Gmina Oborniki. Its population is 18,176 (2005).

History
Oborniki was granted town rights before 1292. Duke Bolesław the Pious founded a Franciscan monastery in Oborniki in the 13th century. It was a royal town of the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland, administratively located in the Poznań County in the Poznań Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province. It was frequently visited by King Władysław II Jagiełło. As a result of the Second Partition of Poland in 1793, it was annexed by Prussia. After the successful Greater Poland uprising of 1806, it was regained by Poles and became part of the short-lived Duchy of Warsaw. In 1815 it was annexed by Prussia for the second time. The townspeople fought in the struggles for liberation of Poland, including the November Uprising, Greater Poland uprising (1848), January Uprising and the victorious post-World War I Greater Poland Uprising, as a result of which the town was integrated with the reestablished Polish state in 1919.

After the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the town was occupied by Germany until 1945. The first expelled Poles were former insurgents of the Greater Poland Uprising, and the expulsions were carried out in early December 1939. The expellees were held for several days in a transit camp in the nearby village of Kowanówko, where they were robbed of money and valuables, and then they were deported in freight trains to Sokołów Podlaski in the General Government in the more-eastern part of German-occupied Poland. In 1940, a transit camp for Poles expelled from various villages in the county was operated in the town. Some of the Poles expelled in 1940 from the nearby Chodzież and Szamotuły counties were enslaved as forced labour in the town's vicinity. The Grey Ranks printed Polish underground press in Oborniki, which was distributed throughout the county. In August 1944, the Germans carried out mass arrests of local members of the Home Army, the leading Polish underground resistance organization.

Sights
Among the historic landmarks of Oborniki are:
 * the Market Square filled with historic townhouses
 * the Church of the Assumption, dating back to the 15th century
 * the timber-framed Holy Cross church
 * the Gothic Revival Saint Joseph Church

Cuisine
Oborniki is one of the production sites of the Greater Poland liliput cheese (ser liliput wielkopolski), a traditional regional Polish cheese, protected as a traditional food by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development of Poland.

Sports
The local football team is. It competes in the lower leagues.

International relations
Oborniki is twinned with:
 * 🇧🇪 Herk-de-Stad, Belgium
 * Kobuleti, Georgia
 * 🇩🇪 Lüchow, Germany
 * 🇲🇹 Żejtun, Malta

Movie Making Manual/Keeping the crew happy

A few tips to keep the crew happy:

Food
Never underestimate the importance of good food. If your crew is working for free then you MUST feed them well and at well defined times. If you're going to overrun then stop and ASK your crew if they mind working for another hour before lunch. Always try to provide hot food. Sandwiches are your last resort.

Good food needn't cost a lot. See if you can get your Mum involved or your best friend's mate who's an out-of-work chef. Remember also that some of your cast and crew (especially the clapper-loader) may have to work though their food breaks and so will need easy-to-eat food. Oh, and don't forget to check on allergies.

Check here for advice on good food which is affordable and works on set - Ultra Low Budget production Recipes.

Also remember to have a snack table (called craft services table in the USA). This may seem insignificant, however, film sets bring together very different personalities and egos, both technical and artistic, in very intense situations over a short period of time. Tempers will flare. They always do. Humans when upset or dealing with any extreme emotion in all cultures like to do one thing: put something in their mouth. A drink, a smoke, a chocolate, a thumb... whatever. The craft services table provides this option. Coffee, tea, water, donuts, pastries, water, chocolates, sweets, juice, fruit and water. Don't underestimate it. Try to put the emphasis on healthy food like fruit rather than chocolates and crisps - junk food may give a quick 'high' but wont sustain that high so your crew will become irritable as the day progresses.

Another option (if you're lucky) is to get a deal with a local restaurant or pizza place, perhaps exchanging discounts on food for product placement in your film or advertising in the credits, brochures or your film's website. Local pizza places are a good first stop. This can get costly if done too often. Some consider this option selling out, which is fair, however, it's not a bad way to get some grub for the crew.

No matter what your position on set try to offer others a tea or coffee whenever you can. As a runner you will quickly gain the enthusiasm of others by offering tea and coffee. As a more senior crew member you will show that you aren't a snobby nosed, status-obsessed fool in it only for the power, but a good natured human who likes to get along with people and do the best job possible.

But - be warned - never eat in front of a hungry camera crew. Why? The camera crew don't have the option of quickly picking up a sandwich because their hands must be kept very clean whilst on set and handling camera kit. Once, on my first ADing job, I was casually nibbling on a sandwich when the DoP gave me a loud and public telling off. You have been warned!

Hours
Don't overwork your crew. Your job as a filmmaker is to get the very best out of your cast and crew - as a producer or director you actually do *very little* hands-on filmmaking. So the best thing you can do is create a productive, exciting and comfortable environment for your cast and crew. The one thing that will destroy the mood on set (and destroy your film) is exhaustion. If your schedule demands 20 hour days then cut the script or increase the number of shooting days.

It is important to remember that the hours worked also include the 'wrapping out' time: not all crew just walk away when 'wrap' is called, spark (electricians), camera crew, grips, makeup, wardrobe and others still have a lot of work to pack up from the day and clean and prepare for the next day. So an estimated wrap time of say, 22.00 hours really means an end of shooting at 21.00 to allow for the wrapping-out. Expecting a 12 hour on-camera day to then be followed by an hour's worth of putting away the gear is a surefire way to spark a mutiny!

Communication
Give the cast and crew as much information as possible, especially when things are going wrong. If you can then print and distribute the schedule to EVERY crew member at the start of each day, if not far earlier. If you're going run over schedule then first explain the situation to your crew, then ask very nicely if they mind working longer and then tell your crew the new estimate wrap time.

Drugs
You can't stop everyone from taking loads of drugs but do your best to dissuade your cast and crew.

Drugs and alcohol on set will void most insurance policies. You must get your crew to never ever take any kind of extreme mind altering substances while anywhere near set. I would advise firing anyone that does not heed this warning. This has nothing to do with moral or social issues it has to do with running a business. Until the insurance contracts change no drugs or alcohol on set.

Drinking
This is a dodgy one. Going out for drinks every night of the shoot is a good way to get to know everyone. But don't over do it. What you do as a director or producer is up to you. You'll certainly increase your chances of getting on well with your cast and crew if you go out drinking with them. But, then again, you've probably got to spend every evening preparing the next day's shot list.

Talk:Saudi Arabian Army/Archive 1

Royal Saudi Land Forces
Just did some more research on the structure and I kept coming up with the name "Royal Saudi Land Force" to describe the Saudi Army. Anyone have some thoughts on the validity of this, should we move this article to that name? It appears to match the other names for the air force and navy, "Royal Saudi Air Force" and "Royal Saudi Navy." Publicus 13:37, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

 * it's also known as (¹"Royal Saudi Land Force" Arabic: القوات البرية الملكية السعودية), but its much more popular with the name (²"Saudi Arabian Army" Arabic: الجيش العربي السعودي ), i usually see this sign ² on saudi army vehicles and troops jackets . Ammar 13:52, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Right on, just checking to make sure we had the right name. Thanks Ammar. Publicus 17:45, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

 * They both correct, don't worry :) Ammar 21:24, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Graphic of the Army Structure
I'm currently working on a project to create graphics of the structure of the most important Armies. i.e. French Army; German Army; Italian Army I also want to make a graphic of the structure of the Saudi Arabian Army, but the information at this point is not sufficient, as there is no information what units compose the single brigades. Does anyone have this information- down to the Battalion names and/or numbers? Thanks noclador 07:44, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

 * User:Publicus has more information :) Ammar 08:07, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I started to create the graphic with the data I found in the IISS Military Balance Report 2006 and the data that is in the Saudi Arabian Army article, but as I mentioned before much information is still missing: i.e. the names of the most Battalions are unknown, the units of the Aviation Brigades are unknown, and so on. I posted the unfinished graphic on this discussion board for now (see below) in the hope, that this will inspire someone to provide the missing information (see also: Saudi Arabian National Guard). Thank you very much in advance noclador 08:18, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

 * can you post a larger copy than this ? its very unclear Ammar  (Talk - Don't Talk) 13:15, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Larger?? The graphic is at the moment 3525×1148 pixels... have you tried to click on it two times? First click brings you to the commons page and then a second click should bring you to the full sized image- or if this doesn't work: here is the direct link of the fullsized image in the commons: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/65/Saudi_Army.png  noclador 14:44, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I posted the graphic now into the article, hoping that this will bring forth someone, with more information regarding the names of the units. noclador 05:05, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

MBT 2000
Saudi Arabia evaluated the MBT 2000 in the month of April 2006 to decide, if it would be acquired for the Saudi army. but further information regarding the acquisition of the MBT 2000 can not be found online - neither through google or on janes defence weekly- the follwoing article of Janes Defence Weekly is the last offical document i could find about the possibilty of the acquisition of the MBT 2000: http://www.janes.com/defence/news/jdw/jdw060313_1_n.shtml noclador 20:55, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Good source :) Ammar 21:01, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Till u find a source that confirms the sale, that part is a non-confirmed information that neither the saudi nor the pakistani governments have confirmed. just like the Egyptian evaluation of the M-60 2000 or 120S whcih is supposed to be either bought or belicensed produced, but no confirmation of that the project has taked place. —Preceding unsigned comment added by One last pharaoh (talk • contribs) 17:17, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

History
The Saudi Army was created in 1923. Fine. But what is the relevance of a meeting between "King Abdulaziz and the American President Franklin D. Roosevelt on February 14, 1945"? This has nothing to do with the history of the army. Incidentally, the Americans did not "became the new major ally of Saudi Arabia" in 1945. America had little influence or involvement in Saudi Arabia.<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:37, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

Tank battalions
Supposedly there are three armoured and five mechanized brigades, the former with three and the latter with one tank battalion each. That is 14 battalions. If there are 42 tanks per battalion, as claimed, that is 588 tanks. Plus additional tanks in training units and depots. Yet there are only 442 M1 in service. Either there are more tanks, or less battalions.Royalcourtier (talk) 04:16, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

The result was delete. The fact that HHelvis's comment and the IP's comment were posted a few minutes apart is additional evidence of socking. -- RoySmith (talk) 01:47, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

Paybis

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Despite the refbombing, it doesn't appear to meet GNG - the vast majority of the sources aren't reliable sources (largely blogs, with the occasional press release), and several don't even mention Paybis (they're more justifying things like "are people buying Bitcoin," which isn't relevant to the article) or are entirely unrelated to the article. I don't see any sources which look reliable. The claim to notability ("considered to be one of the most notable cryptocurrency exchanges in the Baltics") is entirely unsupported by the references. Article looks to me like undisclosed promotion/COI. creffett (talk) 23:17, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

 * keep: Page is thorough when it comes to its resources. As a cryptocurrency exchange, it makes sense that most of its resources come from authorative blockchain websites. On top of that, the second sentence of the first paragraph ("The exchange provides cryptocurrency to fiat trading and is considered to be one of the most notable cryptocurrency exchange in the Baltics.[1][2][3][4][5]”) should be updated to better match the references.

2. Is this anemia acute or chronic?

3. Is this dilutional anemia?(hematocrit)

4. What is the size of the RBC? (MCV)

5. Is body appropriately responding? (reticulocyte count)

6. What does the peripheral blood smear show?

Microcytic

Invoke Malaysia

Invoke Malaysia is a Malaysian Non profit organisation founded by People's Justice Party (PKR) deputy-president, Rafizi Ramli in 2016, Invoke is currently headquartered at Sungai Besi. It has 82 staff in 15 offices throughout the country, consisting of 71 full-time and 11 part-time employees. There are over 30 call center staff, who consist of the bigger majority, as well as statisticians, software developers, content developers, campaign strategists, fundraisers, and field campaign coordinators among others for elections in Malaysia. They had managed the political campaign of 50 candidates in the last 2018 general election (GE14).

Invoke Malaysia is assisted occasionally by Andrew Caster, an analytics officer from former US President Barack Obama's 2012 reelection campaign. Invoke strives to become the first professionally run public campaign organisation in South East Asia.

Initially, Invoke drew its funding from Rafizi Ramli's personal seed investment. Currently, its operations are funded through public contributions. Using electoral roll data as well as phone polls, Invoke surveys voters on everything from basic details such as age, residential postcode, gender, race and religion, to political leanings, stand on current issues and whether their votes are transferable between opposition parties. This is done in line with the creation of a “microtargeting” strategy and identify swing voters with a 40 to 60 per cent likelihood of voting for them, amid Pakatan Harapan (PH)'s plan to contest the GE14 in 2018 under a common logo and coalition name. Additionally, Invoke manages a recruitment drive for Polling Agents and Counting agents to support the 50 candidates it manages, on top of 10,000 registered volunteers to conduct canvassing (link), phone polls and data entry across Malaysia.

Usage notes

 * Unlike English, Hebrew draws an obligatory distinction between “[at] here” and “[to] here”. כאן is the former; is the latter.

In 1186 the castle was stormed by combined Guelph troops of Piacenza and Cremona. The lordship however was confirmed to the Pallavicino by emperor Frederick Barbarossa in 1189. A few years later, however, the Lupi acquired the castle through marriage and started a reconstruction program.

Built in 1361, the castle once belonged to the princes of the Meli Lupi family of Soragna. The castle had corner towers. In 1446, ornamental grapevine frescoes were painted in the ceilings of the courtyard portico. In 1513 the Meli inherited all the Lupi fiefs, including the castle. Further reconstructions and expansions occurred through the centuries. The castle is still inhabited by descendants of the Meli Lupi family.

Donna Cenerina is the nickname attached to Cassandra Marinoni of Milan, wife of marquis Diofebo II Meli Lupi, who was assassinated in this castle by her brother-in-law Giulio Anguissola in 1573. Legend claims her ghost still haunts the castle.

Description
The castle has a symmetrical, roughly squared plan. At the four corners are quadrangular towers. Another, narrower tower (added in the 17th century) is located at the entrance. A moat, now waterless, protects the three frontal sides. A structure in the rear area connects a tower to the S. Croce Chapel, in turn connected at a smaller fortress, the Fortino Neogotico. The latter is accompanied by a small lake surrounded by grottoes and Baroque statues.

The main façade, in brickwork, is accessed through a small bridge build in the 17th century replace the former drawbridge. Two lions are placed at the side of the bridge's side walls. The central tower has a large window and balcony, above which is a small arch featuring the Meli Lupi coat of arms.

In the interior, some rooms are open to the public:
 * Red Room, with 6 paintings by il Brescianino and portraits of the present owners Giampaolo Meli Lupi and his wife Ottavia Rossi
 * Antique Billiard Room, whose walls are decorated with family portraits, among them, the portrait of Donna Cinerina
 * Dragon stairs that go up to the second floor
 * Room of the Strong Women
 * Sala Baglione, with the Grotesque style frescoes integrating heraldic images (17th-century) done by Cesare Baglione
 * Golden Water Closet with the wooden ceiling (1701) by Giuseppe Bosi

 * Gallery with the frescoes depicting the noble birth of the family (1696) by Francesco Galli-Bibiena, and a fresco of an Assumption by Ilario Spolverini
 * Gallery of the nuns with 17th-century portraits of the Farnese family.

At the centre of the castle is a porticoed courtyard with Ionic columns. The vaults of the portico have Groteque-style frescoes. Four statues at each corner complete the decoration.
