query: The Prince of Egypt is a drama film.

pos: The Prince of Egypt The Prince of Egypt is a 1998 American animated epic musical drama film and the first traditional animated film produced and released by DreamWorks . The film is an adaptation of the Book of Exodus and follows the life of Moses from being a prince of Egypt to his ultimate destiny to lead the children of Israel out of Egypt . Directed by Brenda Chapman , Steve Hickner , and Simon Wells , the film features songs written by Stephen Schwartz and a score composed by Hans Zimmer . The voice cast consists of Val Kilmer in a dual role , Ralph Fiennes , Michelle Pfeiffer , Sandra Bullock , Jeff Goldblum , Danny Glover , Patrick Stewart , Helen Mirren , Steve Martin , and Martin Short .   Jeffrey Katzenberg had frequently suggested an animated adaptation of the 1956 film The Ten Commandments while working for The Walt Disney Company , and he decided to put the idea into production after founding DreamWorks in 1995 . To make this inaugural project , DreamWorks employed artists who had worked for Walt Disney Feature Animation and the recently disbanded Amblimation , totaling a crew of 350 people from 34 different nations . The film has a blend of traditional animation and computer-generated imagery , created using software from Toon Boom Animation and Silicon Graphics .   Theatrically released on December 18 , 1998 , and on home video on September 14 , 1999 , reviews were generally positive , with critics praising the animation , music , and voice work . The film went on to gross over $ 218 million worldwide in theaters , which made it the most successful non-Disney animated feature at the time . The film 's success led to the direct-to-video prequel Joseph : King of Dreams ( 2000 ) and the development of a stage adaptation . The song `` When You Believe '' became a commercially successful single in a pop version performed by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey , and went on to win Best Original Song at the 1999 Academy Awards .

neg: Syro-Lebanese in Egypt The Syro-Lebanese of Egypt ( شوام مصر , transliterated : Shawam Masr ) ( Syro-Libanais d'Egypte ) , also known as the Levantines of Egypt , are an ethnic minority group in Egypt . They are Egyptians who have ancestry originating from the Levant , mostly what is now Syria and Lebanon . The majority of Egypt 's historic Syro-Lebanese community is Christian ( Melkite Greek Catholic , Greek Orthodox , and Maronite Catholic ) , although some families were also Muslim ( Shia/Sunni ) and Jewish .   Since antiquity , there has always been a Levantine presence in Egypt , however , they started becoming a distinctive minority in Egypt around the early 18th century . The majority of Syro-Lebanese migrants who arrived in Egypt during this time were French-speaking and highly influenced by the European Culture . By the dawn of the 20th century , the Syro-Lebanese of Egypt were considered a powerful and cosmopolitan community that played an important role in both Egypt 's economy and culture .   Due to the rise in nationalism along with the loss of economic freedoms during the 1950s , most of Egypt 's Syro-Lebanese community left the country immigrating to the Americas , Europe , and Australia , as well as many returning to their native Lebanon ( especially Beirut ) and Syria . Notable descendants of Egypt 's Syro-Lebanese community include the world-renowned Egyptian actor Omar Sharif ( born Michel Chalhoub ) and Egyptian film director Youssef Chahine .

neg: Excuse My French (film) Excuse My French is a 2014 Egyptian film Comedy directed by Amr Salama , based on Salama 's own experiences at a public middle school in Egypt after his return from Saudi Arabia . Excuse My French ( La Moakhza ) is Salama 's third feature , a movie that stirred considerable controversy during its release in 2013 . The film was rejected by censors more than three times before it was finally released at the beginning of this year .   Hany is a bright student , has many friends , likes to go to church and adores his father . With his father 's unexpected death , his mother can no longer afford the expenses of private school , and is forced to send him to public school . There , Hany is mistakenly presumed Muslim , and uses this situation to his advantage . However , when the truth is revealed , he must face a myriad of unforeseen problems . This turbulent comedy about religious and class differences humorously and boldly addresses critical issues in Egypt . The film was initially deemed too sensitive by the censorship board and Salama was forced to adjust the script while trying to preserve the film 's core concept of religious discrimination . Even after the changes , though , the censors refused the film again in 2010 , claiming that it would fuel sectarian strife and that it did not reflect behaviours that exist in Egyptian society .

neg: Egyptian protest law The Egyptian protest law ( act 107 , year 2013 ) was signed into law on 24 November 2013 by former president Adly Mansour . The law requires three days notification before protesting ; in addition , the Interior Ministry has the right to `` cancel , postpone or move '' the protest if it determines that protesters will `` breach ... the law '' .   The April 6 Youth Movement , Tamarod and the Strong Egypt Party all criticized the law on the day it was passed . Former presidential candidate Khaled Ali challenged the protest law in court on 17 June 2014 , though the case was adjourned until 21 October 2014 . Though there were indications in early September 2014 that the protest law would be amended , this ultimately did not happen .   A group of female protesters , including some as young as 15 , were sentenced to terms ranging from being held until they are 18 ( in the case of the minors ) to 11 years in prison ( in the case of the older defendants ) . Human rights groups and other criticized the verdict . The minors were acquitted upon appeal , while the other female protesters were given a suspended sentence of one year . One of the founders of the April 6 Youth Movement , Ahmed Maher , joined a hunger strike held by other prisoners and their supporters to pressure authorities to abrograte the protest law and release prisoners .

neg: Ancient Egyptian literature Ancient Egyptian literature was written in the Egyptian language from ancient Egypt 's pharaonic period until the end of Roman domination . It represents the oldest corpus of Egyptian literature . Along with Sumerian literature , it is considered the world 's earliest literature .   Writing in ancient Egypt -- both hieroglyphic and hieratic -- first appeared in the late 4th millennium BC during the late phase of predynastic Egypt . By the Old Kingdom ( 26th century BC to 22nd century BC ) , literary works included funerary texts , epistles and letters , hymns and poems , and commemorative autobiographical texts recounting the careers of prominent administrative officials . It was not until the early Middle Kingdom ( 21st century BC to 17th century BC ) that a narrative Egyptian literature was created . This was a `` media revolution '' which , according to Richard B. Parkinson , was the result of the rise of an intellectual class of scribes , new cultural sensibilities about individuality , unprecedented levels of literacy , and mainstream access to written materials . However , it is possible that the overall literacy rate was less than one percent of the entire population . The creation of literature was thus an elite exercise , monopolized by a scribal class attached to government offices and the royal court of the ruling pharaoh . However , there is no full consensus among modern scholars concerning the dependence of ancient Egyptian literature on the sociopolitical order of the royal courts .   Middle Egyptian , the spoken language of the Middle Kingdom , became a classical language during the New Kingdom ( 16th century BC to 11th century BC ) , when the vernacular language known as Late Egyptian first appeared in writing . Scribes of the New Kingdom canonized and copied many literary texts written in Middle Egyptian , which remained the language used for oral readings of sacred hieroglyphic texts . Some genres of Middle Kingdom literature , such as `` teachings '' and fictional tales , remained popular in the New Kingdom , although the genre of prophetic texts was not revived until the Ptolemaic period ( 4th century BC to 1st century BC ) . Popular tales included the Story of Sinuhe and The Eloquent Peasant , while important teaching texts include the Instructions of Amenemhat and The Loyalist Teaching . By the New Kingdom period , the writing of commemorative graffiti on sacred temple and tomb walls flourished as a unique genre of literature , yet it employed formulaic phrases similar to other genres . The acknowledgment of rightful authorship remained important only in a few genres , while texts of the `` teaching '' genre were pseudonymous and falsely attributed to prominent historical figures .   Ancient Egyptian literature has been preserved on a wide variety of media . This includes papyrus scrolls and packets , limestone or ceramic ostraca , wooden writing boards , monumental stone edifices and coffins . Texts preserved and unearthed by modern archaeologists represent a small fraction of ancient Egyptian literary material . The area of the floodplain of the Nile is under-represented because the moist environment is unsuitable for the preservation of papyri and ink inscriptions . On the other hand , hidden caches of literature , buried for thousands of years , have been discovered in settlements on the dry desert margins of Egyptian civilization .

neg: Egyptian parliamentary election, 1957 Parliamentary elections were held in Egypt on 3 July 1957 , having originally been scheduled for November 1956 , but postponed due to the Suez Crisis . The first since the 1952 revolution , which saw King Farouk overthrown , and the approval of a new constitution in a referendum in June 1956 , the election was carried out on a non-partisan basis , although nearly 50 % of candidates were rejected by army officials for being `` undesirable '' or `` unworthy '' . They were also the first elections in Egypt in which women had the right to vote or stand for election . Despite only six women contesting the election out of a total of over 2,000 candidates , and 70 % of Egyptian men being against their presence in parliament , Rawya Ateya and Amina Shukri were elected , becoming the first women parliamentarians in the Arab World .   Following its election , the 350-member National Assembly was seated on 22 July . However , it had little power , with its votes against government policy being ignored by President Gamal Abdel Nasser . The Assembly was dissolved on 10 February 1958 following Egypt and Syria merging to form of the United Arab Republic , and the establishment of a joint National Assembly with 400 members from Egypt and 200 from Syria .

neg: Sahara International Film Festival The Sahara International Film Festival , also known as FiSahara , is an annual event which takes place in the Sahrawi refugee camps , at the South West corner of Algeria , near the border with Western Sahara . It is the only film festival in the world taking place in a refugee camp . The first three years the festival was held alternately in the Wilaya of Smara , Wilaya of Ausserd and Wilaya of El Aaiun , but since 2007 the FiSahara had stayed in the Wilaya of Dakhla . The event is backed by the Polisario Front , but largely organised and funded by donors from Spain , the former colonial power in Western Sahara , attracting support from Spanish film celebrities as Penélope Cruz , Javier Bardem and Pedro Almodóvar . This Festival is an initiative to bring film as an entertainment and cultural form to the thousands of Sahrawis whose community has lived for more than thirty years in relative isolation in the Algerian desert , being the only film festival in the world taking place in a refugee camp .  The first festival was in large part organised by Peruvian film director Javier Corcuera .   The festival has the two-fold aim of providing cultural entertainment and educational opportunities to refugees , and of raising awareness of the plight of the Sahrawi people , who have been exiled from their native Western Sahara for more than three decades . Western Sahara , `` Africa 's last colony , '' was given to Morocco and Mauritania by the Spanish when they withdrew in 1976 . The Moroccans subsequently annexed the entire territory in 1979 , in defiance of a ruling from the International Court of Justice . A sixteen-year war ensued between the Moroccans and the native Sahrawi independence movement , the Polisario Front . Under the terms of a 1991 UN ceasefire agreement , a referendum for self-determination was promised , but has been blocked by Morocco . In the meantime an estimated 165,000 refugees continue to live in four large camps in the inhospitable Algerian desert .   Home to around 30,000 refugees , Dakhla is the most remote of the camps , located 175 km away from the nearest city , Tindouf . It has no electricity or paved roads and is dependent on outside supplies of food and water .   Musicians like Fermín Muguruza , Manu Chao , Macaco , Iván Ferreiro , El Chojin or Tomasito had also performed in concerts during the festival .   In 2010 , a twinning agreement was signed between the FiSahara and the San Sebastian Human Rights Film Festival .

neg: The Prince and the Pauper (1937 film) The Prince and the Pauper is a 1937 film adaptation of the novel of the same name by Mark Twain . It starred Errol Flynn , twins Billy and Bobby Mauch in the title roles , and Claude Rains .   The film was originally intended to coincide with the coronation of King Edward VIII in 1936 . However , its release was delayed until the following year . The film was released on May 8 , 1937 , four days before the coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth .   The second theme of the final movement of Erich Wolfgang Korngold 's violin concerto was drawn from the music he composed for this film .

neg: The Age of the Medici The Age of the Medici , originally released in Italy as L'età di Cosimo de Medici ( The Age of Cosimo de Medici ) , is a 1973 3-part TV series about the Renaissance in Florence , directed by Roberto Rossellini . The series was shot in English in the hope of securing a North American release , which it failed to achieve , and was later dubbed into Italian and shown on state television . The films are : Cosimo de Medici , The Power of Cosimo and Leon Battista Alberti : Humanism . It is Fred Ward 's debut role .   Like several other TV series directed by Rossellini during the 1970s , The Age of the Medici is a form of docudrama , in which historical information is communicated via dramatized conversations between figures from history , and between ordinary people . They are unabashedly `` teaching films . '' As Dave Kehr explains , `` The dialogue is bluntly didactic , with characters telling one another things they would already know entirely for the benefit of the audience ... . Rossellini is n't asking his viewers to identify with his characters or become caught up in their personal dramas ... Instead he creates a detached perspective . '' Each scene plays out in a single long take , with the camera slowly moving and zooming to create different framings of the action , or , as Kehr puts it , `` to close in on details or investigate relationships '' .   When the films debuted in New York 's Public Theater in 1973 , New York Times movie critic Vincent Canby noted that while not difficult , the austere style of the films , `` as well as Rossellini 's total lack of concern for what might be called performance , take some getting used to . Yet once you 've grasped the method and the rhythm of the films , they are a ravishingly beautiful experience '' :   The actors make few attempts to act . They recite as they walk about magnificent locations , sounding and looking like ferociously gifted dress-extras . The talk has been rather flatly dubbed into English so that it 's not always possible to tell who is speaking.Forget these problems , though . The film is about what is being said and what you can see around and behind these figures . When you connect with The Age of the Medici , it has the effect of reducing every other film you 've seen recently to the status of an ornament .

neg: Post-coup unrest in Egypt (2013–2014) Protests against the 2013 Egyptian coup d'état erupted in July 2013 . Immediately following the removal of President Mohamed Morsi by the Egyptian Armed Forces on 3 July 2013 amid demonstrations against Morsi 's rule , many protesters amassed near the Rabia Al-Adawiya Mosque to call for Morsi 's return to power and condemn the military , while others demonstrated in support of the military and interim government . Deadly clashes such as Rabaa massacre continued for several days , with three particularly bloody incidents being described by Muslim Brotherhood officials as `` massacres '' perpetrated by security forces . During the month of Ramadan ( 10 July - 7 August ) , prime minister Hazem al-Beblawy threatened to disperse the ongoing Pro-Morsi sit-ins in Rabaa al-Adaweya square and al-Nahda square . The government crackdown of these protests occurred in a violent dispersal on 14 August 2013 . In mid-August , the violence directed by the army towards the protesters escalated , with hundreds killed , and the government declaring a month-long nighttime curfew .

neg: Egyptian Theatre Egyptian-style theatres are based on the traditional and historic design elements of Ancient Egypt .   The first Egyptian Theatre to be constructed in the US -- which inspired many of the identically-named theatres that followed it -- was Grauman 's Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood , California . For several years , Hollywood developer Charles E. Toberman attempted to convince Sid Grauman to locate in Hollywood . During a meeting , Sid told Mr. Toberman of his desire to build a theatre of Egyptian design . Mr. Toberman then secured a piece of property on Hollywood Boulevard , just east of McCadden Place . The architectural firm of Meyer & Holler were hired to design the theatre . The result was Grauman 's Egyptian Theatre with a seating of 1770 . The approach to the theatre was through a courtyard . Inside , the stage was flanked by carved columns and models of the Sphinx . The theatre was opened on October 19 , 1922 with the grand premiere of `` Robin Hood '' starring Douglas Fairbanks . `` In a 1983 article in Hollywood Studio Magazine , Mike Hughes wrote of the Egyptian : `` A survivor of the decay that unfortunately characterizes the Hollywood Boulevard of today , the Egyptian is a reminder of the glamour that once made the Boulevard famous . Perhaps through the dedicated efforts of such citizens as Bruce Torrence , author of Hollywood : The First 100 Years and grandson of Mr. Charles Toberman , who built the Egyptian , the Hollywood Boulevard of yesteryear will reappear some great day in the future . When that happens , the Egyptian Theatre , jewel that it is , will be there to herald in the new age of film town . '' '' United Artists was the last owner of the Egyptian Theatre before it closed in 1992 . The American Cinematheque purchased the theatre from the city for $ 1 with the provision that this historical landmark would be restored to its original grandeur and re-opened as a movie theatre showcasing the organizations celebrated , public programming . ''   The Eldorado Theatre located in Eldorado Amusement Park , Weehawken , New Jersey opened in 1891 and featured ` Egypt Through Centuries ' each evening . The creators of the park , Palisades Amusement and Exhibition Company , published a book titled `` Egypt Through the Centuries '' in 1892 .   Many of the other theatres that copied Grauman 's Egyptian Theatre were part of the wave of Egyptian revival architecture that occurred after the November 1922 discovery of King Tut 's tomb by Howard Carter .   Unlike the many theatres that followed in its wake , Grauman 's Egyptian Theatre was designed , built , named and opened before the 1922 discovery of King Tut 's tomb . The news of the tomb 's discovery reached the US a few weeks after the theatre opened .   Early in the 20th century , it is estimated that up to 100 of these theatre types were constructed across the US . Many of them no longer exist , but there are many fine examples of this style still in use today . Conrad Schmitt Studios has played a big part in the restoration of these atmospheric theatres , including Egyptian Theatres in Park City , Utah , Ogden , Utah , Boise , Idaho , Delta , Colorado , and DeKalb , Illinois .

neg: Abydos, Egypt Abydos -LSB- əˈbaɪdɒs -RSB- is one of the oldest cities of ancient Egypt , and also of the eighth nome in Upper Egypt , of which it was the capital city . It is located about 11 km west of the Nile at latitude 26 ° 10 ' N , near the modern Egyptian towns of el - ` Araba el Madfuna and al-Balyana . In the ancient Egyptian language , the city was called Abdju ( ꜣbdw or AbDw ) . The English name Abydos comes from the Greek Ἄβυδος , a name borrowed by Greek geographers from the unrelated city of Abydos on the Hellespont .   Considered one of the most important archaeological sites in Egypt , the sacred city of Abydos was the site of many ancient temples , including Umm el-Qa ` ab , a royal necropolis where early pharaohs were entombed . These tombs began to be seen as extremely significant burials and in later times it became desirable to be buried in the area , leading to the growth of the town 's importance as a cult site .   Today , Abydos is notable for the memorial temple of Seti I , which contains an inscription from the nineteenth dynasty known to the modern world as the Abydos King List . It is a chronological list showing cartouches of most dynastic pharaohs of Egypt from Menes until Seti I 's father , Ramesses I.   The Great Temple and most of the ancient town are buried under the modern buildings to the north of the Seti temple . Many of the original structures and the artifacts within them are considered irretrievable and lost ; many may have been destroyed by the new construction .

In this paranormal thriller , New York City experiences a series of mysterious murders that follow the same pattern ; ordinary people become possessed and kill strangers in public . The main characters of the story must uncover the supernatural forces behind these crimes . Publicity was generated from the developer 's rejection of conventional game genre labeling ; preferring to brand it as the first `` interactive film '' rather than an adventure or third-person action title . The game features motion captured animation as well as branching story lines , split screen cameras and an interface designed to be intuitive and realistic . Event triggers in the game are also mainly time-based , as opposed to the more common player-initiated progression found in most games .

neg: Grey Grey ( British English ) or gray ( American English ; see spelling differences ) is an intermediate color between black and white . It is a neutral or achromatic color , meaning literally that it is a color `` without color . '' This means that there are equal components of red , green , and blue . The variations in intensity of these colors uniformly produce different shades of grey . It is the color of a cloud-covered sky , of ash and of lead .   The first recorded use of grey as a color name in the English language was in AD 700 . Grey is the dominant spelling in European and Commonwealth English , although gray remained in common usage in the UK until the second half of the 20th century . Gray has been the preferred American spelling since approximately 1825 , although grey is an accepted variant .   In Europe and the United States , surveys show that grey is the color most commonly associated with neutrality , conformity , boredom , uncertainty , old age , indifference , and modesty . Only one percent of respondents chose it as their favorite color .

neg: Rule of Rose Rule of Rose is a survival horror video game developed by Punchline for the PlayStation 2 . It was first released in 2006 by Sony Computer Entertainment in Japan . After Sony Computer Entertainment 's American and European branch did not express interest in localizing the title , it was published later that year by Atlus USA in North America and by 505 Games in Europe . Set in England in 1930 , the plot revolves around a nineteen-year-old woman named Jennifer , who becomes trapped in a world ruled by young girls who have established a class hierarchy called the Red Crayon Aristocrats .   Development on Rule of Rose began after Punchline was asked by Sony Computer Entertainment to make a horror game . Punchline wanted to develop a `` new type of horror game '' with an emphasis on psychological horror . This decision led to the concept of childhood , specifically the `` mysterious and misunderstood '' nature of young girls . The team drew inspiration from the classic Brothers Grimm fairy tales for the narrative , and the Silent Hill series for graphics and art style . The entire score was produced by studio musicians in order to bring a human element to the game 's atmosphere .   Rule of Rose received significant controversy before release due to its use of violence and implied sexuality among some of its underage , female characters . Various European authorities condemned the game and called for its banning . The game was cancelled in the United Kingdom , despite the Video Standards Council calling the complaints `` nonsense . '' Rule of Rose received mixed reviews from many publications ; reactions to the story , music , and horror elements were almost universally positive , while the gameplay was panned . The game has been compared to Silent Hill and Haunting Ground , due to the psychological horror used throughout and because the main character is accompanied by a canine companion .

neg: Lady Jaye Lady Jaye is a fictional character in the G.I. Joe : A Real American Hero toyline , comic books and cartoon series . She was originally created as a character for the G.I. Joe cartoon series produced by Marvel Productions and Sunbow Productions in 1984 , was later produced as an action figure , and was finally introduced into the comic book in 1985 . Lady Jaye is the G.I. Joe Team 's covert operations specialist . She is portrayed by Adrianne Palicki in the 2013 film G.I. Joe : Retaliation .

neg: 18XX 18XX is the generic term for a series of board games that , with a few exceptions , recreate the building of railroad corporations during the 19th century ; individual games within the series use particular years in the 19th century as their title ( usually the date of the start of railway development in the area of the world they cover ) , or `` 18 '' plus a two-letter geographical designator ( such as 18EU for a game set in the European Union ) . The games 2038 , set in the future , and Poseidon and Ur , 1830 BC , both set in ancient history , are also regarded as 18XX titles as their game mechanics and titling nomenclature are similar despite variance from the common railroad/stock-market theme .   The 18XX series has its origins in the game 1829 , first produced by Francis Tresham in the mid-1970s . 1829 was chosen as it was the year of the Rainhill Trials . 1830 was produced by Avalon Hill in 1986 , and was the first game of the series widely available in the United States ; it is seen as the basic 18XX game by the U.S. audience .   In addition to traditionally published games , the 18XX series has spawned self-published variants and games published by low-volume game companies .   With few exceptions ( such as 2038 ) , 18XX titles are multiplayer board games without random variables in their game mechanics .

neg: Video gaming in France Video gaming in France is one of the largest markets in Europe . The French government give special tax breaks to video game companies . In 2014 , the French diplomatic service released a report which calculates the profit generated by the French video game industry at $ 2.7 billion . It states that there are 300 video game companies in France . It estimates the number of jobs directly related to the video game industry at 5000 . It estimates the number of indirect jobs created by the video game industry at 10,000 . The report found that in 2013 , around 8 out of 10 people had played a video game in the last 12 months .  In France video games have equal status as an artform , alongside more traditional formats like painting and theatre . In 2016 , the French Minister of State for Digital Affairs , Axelle Lemaire , held talks with various French video game industry figureheads to find solutions to the problem of misogyny in video games . She mooted solutions like removing tax credits for publishers who publish games with misogynistic content , and creating a label which would identify video games with positive representations of women .

neg: Collectible miniatures game Collectible miniatures games or CMGs are a form of miniature wargaming that is also similar to collectible card games ( CCGs ) -- the primary difference being that while CCGs are card-based games , CMGs feature miniature figures .   Like miniature wargames , a popular theme for CMGs are strategy wargames , since games of that genre typically feature miniatures such as : soldiers , vehicles , etc. . Miniature wargames have been around for a long time , but the idea of a collectible miniature wargame is recent . In a conventional miniature wargame , players purchase the miniatures they want and generally invest time in assembling , painting , and often customizing the figures to their liking . CMGs were designed to appeal to those who would enjoy the game aspect but not necessarily the hobby aspect of miniature gaming .   CMGs tend to cover a more diverse range of topics than traditional wargames ( which generally are fantasy , sci-fi , or historical in theme ) , and certain games , such as Dreamblade are even somewhat abstract in nature .   Due to the random distribution of figures when purchasing CMG products , a large secondary market has sprung up selling single miniatures , as well as websites that allow players to trade spare figures .   Perhaps the most popular and well-known CMG to date is HeroClix , which allows players to create battles between characters from the Marvel and DC Comics comic book universes , as well as certain smaller publishers . Other popular CMGs include Dungeons & Dragons Miniatures Game , Halo Actionclix , Star Wars Miniatures , HorrorClix , and Monsterpocalypse .

neg: Johnny Hero Johnny Hero was a clothed , 13 inch tall figure produced by Rosko Industries for Sears as a boy 's doll ( the term action figure had only begun being used with G.I. Joe ) . Johnny Hero was basically a sports figure that could be fitted with various team uniforms ( sold separately ) . The toy was introduced for the 1965 holiday season . At some point Johnny Hero was repackaged as Olympic Hero .   Johnny Hero could be found packaged in a similar long box as GI Joe with minimal graphics and text describing the figure . Johnny 's outfit included a red long-sleeve jogging suit ( the top had `` Johnny Hero '' and the number `` 16 '' ( sixteen ) printed on the front ) ; gold shorts , white socks and white tennis shoes . The body was made of heavy foam , with a plastic head and hands . His right hand projected a metal rod or prong to help hold sports balls and equipment . Several sports team uniforms were made available , including the Washington Redskins and other NFL or AFL teams . Uniforms included plastic helmets and were sewn/printed in team colors .

neg: Grey Goo (video game) Grey Goo is a science fiction real-time strategy video game developed by Petroglyph Games , produced by Six Foot , and published by Grey Box on January 23 , 2015 for Microsoft Windows . It features a playable faction based on the grey goo scenario .

neg: Gamer (film) Gamer is a 2009 American science fiction action thriller film written and directed by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor . The film stars Gerard Butler as a participant in an online game in which participants can control human beings as players , and Logan Lerman as the player who controls him . Alongside Butler and Lerman , it also stars Michael C. Hall , Ludacris , Amber Valletta , Terry Crews , Alison Lohman , John Leguizamo , and Zoe Bell .   Gamer was released in North America on September 4 , 2009 , receiving generally negative reviews from critics , who found the plot , direction , and script disappointing , though its performances , effects , and action sequences were praised . It received a mixed reception from audiences , and was a box office bomb , grossing $ 42 million worldwide against a production budget of $ 50 million .

neg: Skin gambling In video games , skin gambling is the use of virtual goods , which are most commonly cosmetic elements such as `` skins '' which have no direct influence on gameplay , as virtual currency to bet on the outcome of professional matches or on other games of chance . It primarily has occurred within the player community for the game Counter-Strike : Global Offensive by Valve Corporation , but practice of it exists in other game communities . Valve also runs the Steam marketplace which can be interfaced by third-parties to enable trading , buying , and selling of skins from players ' Steam inventories for real-world or digital currency , though Valve itself condones the gambling practices .   Valve added random skin rewards as part of an update to Counter-Strike : Global Offensive in 2013 , believing that players would use these to trade with other players and bolster both the player community and its Steam marketplace . A number of websites were created to bypass monetary restrictions Valve set on the Steam marketplace to aid in high-value trading and allowing users to receive cash value for skins . Some of these sites subsequently added the ability to gamble on the results of professional matches or in games of chance with these skins , which in 2016 was estimated to handle around $ 5 billion of the virtual goods . These sites , along with Valve and various video game streamers , have come under scrutiny due to ethical and legal questions relating to gambling on sporting matches , underage gambling , undisclosed promotion , and outcome rigging . Evidence of such unethical practices was discovered in June 2016 , and led to two formal lawsuits filed against these sites and Valve in the following month . Valve subsequently has taken steps to stop such sites from using Steam 's interface for enabling gambling , leading to about half of these sites to close down , while driving more of the skin gambling into an underground economy .

neg: Crowdfunding in video games Video game development has typically been funded by large publishing companies or are alternatively paid for mostly by the developers themselves as independent titles . Other funding may come from government incentives or from private funding .   Crowdfunding , where the players of the video games pay to back the development efforts of a game , has become a popular means of finding alternate investment routes . As a way of game monetization , the use of crowdfunding in video games has had a history for several years prior to 2012 , but was not seen as viable and limited to small-scale games . The crowdfunding mechanism for video games received significant attention in February 2012 due to the success of Double Fine Adventure ( later renamed as Broken Age ) , a point-and-click adventure game which raised more than $ 3 million through the Kickstarter service , greatly exceeding the initial $ 400,000 request and becoming the highest funded project through Kickstarter at that time . A further boost to the model was seen in July 2012 when the Ouya , a low-cost video game console to be built on the open Android system and designed to take advantage of the mobile video game trend , surpassed $ 8 million in funding . By mid-2016 , more than $ 186 million has been pledged to video game-related projects through Kickstarter alone .   Less than half of video game crowd-funded projects successfully raise their target funds .

neg: Deus Ex Go Deus Ex Go is a 2016 turn-based puzzle video game in the Deus Ex series by Square Enix . The player uses a touchscreen to move Adam Jensen , a protagonist from the cyberpunk-themed series , as a puzzle piece through a board game while avoiding obstacles and manipulating the environment . In-keeping with the main series , Jensen can hack environmental features such as turrets and platforms to bypass and eliminate enemies . The game follows the format of Hitman Go ( 2014 ) and Lara Croft Go ( 2015 ) , in which Square Enix Montreal distilled major motifs from the games ' respective series to fit turn-based , touchscreen , puzzle gameplay . New to the Go series , Deus Ex Go introduced an in-game story and puzzle creation mode . Deus Ex Go was released in August 2016 , for Android and iOS platforms to generally favorable reviews . The game was later ported to Microsoft platforms . Critics wrote that the game successfully captured the cybernetic dystopia of the Deus Ex series and the brain teasing puzzles of the Go mobile game series . But compared to the other entries in the Go series , reviewers considered Deus Ex Go to be less creative , with a lackluster story , less visually interesting aesthetic , and shorter length .

neg: Chaos game In mathematics , the term chaos game originally referred to a method of creating a fractal , using a polygon and an initial point selected at random inside it . The fractal is created by iteratively creating a sequence of points , starting with the initial random point , in which each point in the sequence is a given fraction of the distance between the previous point and one of the vertices of the polygon ; the vertex is chosen at random in each iteration . Repeating this iterative process a large number of times , selecting the vertex at random on each iteration , and throwing out the first few points in the sequence , will often ( but not always ) produce a fractal shape . Using a regular triangle and the factor 1/2 will result in the Sierpinski triangle , while creating the proper arrangement with four points and a factor 1/2 will create a display of a `` Sierpinski Tetrahedron '' , the three-dimensional analogue of the Sierpinski triangle . As the number of points is increased to a number N , the arrangement forms a corresponding ( N-1 ) - dimensional Sierpinski Simplex .   The term has been generalized to refer to a method of generating the attractor , or the fixed point , of any iterated function system ( IFS ) . Starting with any point x0 , successive iterations are formed as xk +1 = fr ( xk ) , where fr is a member of the given IFS randomly selected for each iteration . The iterations converge to the fixed point of the IFS . Whenever x0 belongs to the attractor of the IFS , all iterations xk stay inside the attractor and , with probability 1 , form a dense set in the latter .   The `` chaos game '' method plots points in random order all over the attractor . This is in contrast to other methods of drawing fractals , which test each pixel on the screen to see whether it belongs to the fractal . The general shape of a fractal can be plotted quickly with the `` chaos game '' method , but it may be difficult to plot some areas of the fractal in detail .   The `` chaos game '' method is mentioned in Tom Stoppard 's 1993 play Arcadia .   With the aid of the `` chaos game '' a new fractal can be made and while making the new fractal some parameters can be obtained . These parameters are useful for applications of fractal theory such as classification and identification . The new fractal is self-similar to the original in some important features such as fractal dimension .   If in the `` chaos game '' you start at each vertex and go through all possible paths that the game can take , you will get the same image as with only taking one random path . However , taking more than one path is rarely done since the overhead for keeping track of every path makes it far slower to calculate . This method does have the advantages of illustrating how the fractal is formed more clearly than the standard method as well as being deterministic .

neg: Jane (Ender's Game) Jane is a fictional character in Orson Scott Card 's Ender series . She is an artificial sentience thought to exist within the ansible network by which spaceships and planets communicate instantly across galactic distances . She has appeared in the novels Speaker for the Dead , Xenocide , and Children of the Mind , and in a short story `` Investment Counselor '' . Her ` face ' , a computer-generated hologram that she uses to talk to Ender , is described as plain and young , and it is illustrated in First Meetings as having a bun .   This article is arranged to reflect the Ender timeline . However , the Ender Quartet : Ender 's Game ( 1985 ) , Speaker for the Dead ( 1986 ) , Xenocide ( 1990 ) , and Children of the Mind ( 1994 ) was written first ; then Ender 's Shadow ( 1999 ) , First Meetings ( 2004 ) , and Shadow of the Giant ( 2005 ) .

query: Ringo Starr is not a musician.

pos: Ringo Starr Richard Starkey , ( born 7 July 1940 ) , known professionally as Ringo Starr , is an English drummer , singer , songwriter and actor who gained worldwide fame as the drummer for the Beatles . He occasionally sang lead vocals , usually for one song on an album , including `` With a Little Help from My Friends '' , `` Yellow Submarine '' and their cover of `` Act Naturally '' . He also wrote the Beatles ' songs `` Do n't Pass Me By '' and `` Octopus 's Garden '' , and is credited as a co-writer of others , including `` What Goes On '' and `` Flying '' .   Starr was twice afflicted by life-threatening illnesses during childhood , and as a result of prolonged hospitalisations fell behind in school . In 1955 , he entered the workforce and briefly held a position with British Rail before securing an apprenticeship at a Liverpool equipment manufacturer . Soon afterwards , he became interested in the UK skiffle craze , developing a fervent admiration for the genre . In 1957 , he cofounded his first band , the Eddie Clayton Skiffle Group , which earned several prestigious local bookings before the fad succumbed to American rock and roll by early 1958 .   When the Beatles formed in 1960 , Starr was a member of another Liverpool group , Rory Storm and the Hurricanes . After achieving moderate success with that band in the UK and Hamburg , he quit the Hurricanes and joined the Beatles in August 1962 , replacing Pete Best . Starr played key roles in the Beatles ' films and appeared in numerous others . After the band 's break-up in 1970 , he released several successful singles including the US number four hit `` It Do n't Come Easy '' , and number ones `` Photograph '' and `` You 're Sixteen '' . In 1972 , he released his most successful UK single , `` Back Off Boogaloo '' , which peaked at number two . He achieved commercial and critical success with his 1973 album Ringo , which was a top ten release in both the UK and the US . He has been featured in a number of documentaries and hosted television shows . He also narrated the first two series of the children 's television programme Thomas & Friends and portrayed `` Mr Conductor '' during the first season of the PBS children 's television series Shining Time Station . Since 1989 , he has toured with twelve variations of Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band .   Starr 's creative contribution to music has received praise from other drummers such as Phil Collins , who described him as `` a great musician '' , and Steve Smith , who commented : `` Before Ringo , drum stars were measured by their soloing ability and virtuosity . Ringo 's popularity brought forth a new paradigm ... we started to see the drummer as an equal participant in the compositional aspect ... His parts are so signature to the songs that you can listen to a Ringo drum part without the rest of the music and still identify the song . '' He was inducted into the Modern Drummer Hall of Fame in 1998 . In 2011 , Rolling Stone readers named Starr the fifth-greatest drummer of all time . Starr , who was previously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a Beatle in 1988 , was inducted for his solo career in 2015 , making him one of 21 performers inducted more than once .

neg: Life Begins at 40 (song) `` Life Begins at 40 '' is a song by John Lennon . It was written in 1980 , the year that both Lennon and Ringo Starr turned 40 years of age . Lennon recorded a demo of the song at his home , but it was not recorded at any of the sessions for his comeback album , Double Fantasy . Instead , he intended to give the song to Starr to record on his own forthcoming album , Ca n't Fight Lightning . The song 's amiable country feel was well suited to Starr 's singing style . After Lennon 's murder in December 1980 , those plans were shelved . However , Lennon 's demo was eventually issued in 1998 on the John Lennon Anthology box set .

neg: British rock and roll British rock and roll , or sometimes British rock 'n' roll , is a style of popular music based on American rock and roll , which emerged in the late 1950s and was popular until the arrival of beat music in 1962 . It has generally been considered inferior to the American version of the genre , and made little international or lasting impact . However , it was important in establishing British youth and popular music culture and was a key factor in subsequent developments that led to the British Invasion of the mid-1960s . Since the 1960s , some stars of the genre , most notably Cliff Richard , have managed to sustain successful careers and there have been periodic revivals of this form of music .

neg: The Better Beatles The Better Beatles were a short-lived post-punk band formed in Omaha , Nebraska in 1981 . The group consisted of Kurt Magnuson on bass , Dave Nordin on synthesizer , Jean pSmith on vocals , and Jay Rosen on drums and vocals . Their repertoire consisted entirely of cold , minimalist covers of the songs of The Beatles in an irreverent manner comparable to covers performed by The Residents .   Nordin has stated that he considered the Beatles `` an oppressive influence , '' and pSmith has said their goal was to `` -LSB- strip -RSB- the songs of their sacred status . '' After a handful of shows , they recorded an album 's worth of material in late 1981 . They broke up shortly before their debut single `` Penny Lane '' / `` I 'm Down '' was released on Woodgrain Records , leaving the bulk of their music unreleased .   The single received some play from John Peel in the UK and the band was mentioned in The Village Voice by critic Robert Christgau as a candidate for the Best Name Award in the annual Pazz & Jop Critics Poll . There was some interest from labels , but the members had already moved on , with pSmith and Magnuson having relocated to Seattle . Attention died down and the band was largely forgotten for over two decades . Rosen went on to perform as a guitarist with the Altamont Boys , the backing band for The Legendary Stardust Cowboy . Due to a growing cult interest online , pSmith tracked down Rosen and the two of them compiled the `` Penny Lane '' single and the remaining recorded material into an album , Mercy Beat , which was released in 2007 . The cultural organization Hear Nebraska has described the album as `` some of the definitive Nebraska recordings of the punk-rock era . ''

neg: Gone to Earth (Barclay James Harvest album) Gone to Earth is an album by the English rock group Barclay James Harvest released in 1977 . It reached # 30 in the UK charts , but in Germany it peaked at # 10 and stayed for 197 weeks in the German album charts . As of 2011 it is ranked # 6 on the list of longest running albums in the German album charts . Only the My Fair Lady soundtrack and albums by Simon & Garfunkel ( Greatest Hits ) , The Beatles ( 1962 -- 1966 ) , Pink Floyd ( Wish You Were Here ) and Andrea Berg ( Best Of ) spent more weeks in the charts . It was the band 's largest selling album , eventually selling more than a million copies worldwide .   Hymn ( often misinterpreted as Christmas song but actually a song against the dangers of drug use and dedicated to musicians like Jimi Hendrix , Paul Kossoff and Janis Joplin ) was a successful turntable hit at German radio stations in the late 1970s .   `` Poor Man 's Moody Blues '' was written after a journalist angered the band by referring to Barclay James Harvest as a `` poor man 's Moody Blues '' . Shortly after , guitarist John Lees wrote a song that reminded him of the Moody Blues song `` Nights in White Satin '' , and decided to use the journalist 's phrase as the song title .   Other songs on the album deal with subjects like ended relationships ( `` Friend of Mine '' ) , alienation ( `` Leper 's Song '' ) the exploitation of animals for their fur ( `` Spirit on the Water '' ) and the space race ( `` Sea of Tranquility '' ) .   The original LP version of this album , designed by Maldwyn Tootill , featured die-cut outer cover and full-color inner album sleeve . On one side of the inner sleeve was an owl ( as shown in the picture ) ; on the other side was a picture of a sunset . The inner sleeve could be reversed so that either side would be displayed through the die cut .   The album 's title , Gone to Earth , refers to the fox hunter 's cry used to indicate that the quarry has returned to its lair .

neg: The London Rock and Roll Show The London Rock and Roll Show was a concert held at Wembley Stadium in Wembley Park , London , England , on 5 August 1972 . It is often said to have been the first ever concert held at the stadium , but in fact the band Yes had performed in the Stadium on 13 July 1969 .   From the late 1960s to the early 1970s , many rock and roll performers from the 1950s experienced major career revivals due to a temporary upswing of interest in their form of music . The Revival was marked by a series of major concerts in the United States , and also spread to Europe where events such as the Wembley concert attracted thousands of fans who came out to see the performers behind the music .   The concert included performances by major stars including Bo Diddley , Jerry Lee Lewis , Little Richard , and Bill Haley and His Comets . The concert ended with an extended performance by Chuck Berry , who at the time was enjoying major chart success in Britain and the US with his `` My Ding-a-Ling '' .   Originally billed rock and roll era acts The Platters , The Drifters and The Coasters were unable to perform due to work permit issues . The show was opened instead with sets from British rock and rollers The Houseshakers , Joe Brown , Emile Ford & the Checkmates , Screaming Lord Sutch , Heinz ( with Wilko Johnson on guitar ) and Billy Fury ; as well as songs from Jerry Lee Lewis 's sister Linda Gail Lewis .   Roy Wood 's new band Wizzard , only formed a few weeks previously , also made their live debut at the show .   Garage rockers MC5 were not over-popular with the crowd . Little Richard also got booed when he stopped singing rock and roll and jumped on top of his piano . As did a very new Gary Glitter , with The Glitter Band .   Mick Jagger attended the concert , but did not perform . Future Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren can be seen selling T-shirts from a stall in the film .   The concert was filmed and released in 1973 as The London Rock and Roll Show , directed by Peter Clifton . Although no soundtrack release occurred at the time the film was made , one was finally issued in the early 2000s ( decade ) , followed by several different releases with different combinations of performances .

neg: The Family Way (soundtrack) The Family Way is a soundtrack recording composed by Paul McCartney , released in January 1967 . The album is the soundtrack to the 1966 film of the same name , directed by Roy Boulting and starring Hayley Mills . Produced and arranged by George Martin , the album was credited to `` The George Martin Orchestra '' and issued under the full title The Family Way ( Original Soundtrack Album ) . A 45rpm single , again credited to the George Martin Orchestra , was issued on 23 December 1966 , comprising `` Love in the Open Air '' backed with `` Theme From ` The Family Way ' '' , as United Artists UP1165 .   The Family Way won an Ivor Novello Award in 1967 . It was remastered and released on CD in 1996 with new musical compositions not on the original 1967 soundtrack album .   The recording took place over November and December 1966 , before the Beatles began work on their album Sgt. Pepper 's Lonely Hearts Club Band . McCartney 's involvement in the project was minimal , according to biographer Howard Sounes , who quotes Martin 's recollection that he had to `` pester Paul for the briefest scrap of a tune '' with which to start writing the score . After McCartney had provided `` a sweet little fragment of a waltz tune '' , Martin continued , `` I was able to complete the score . ''   Although The Family Way was released in January 1967 , most commentators consider George Harrison 's Wonderwall Music ( 1968 ) , also a film soundtrack , to be the first solo album by a member of the Beatles . Unlike with McCartney 's film score , Harrison directed and produced the recordings for Wonderwall Music , in addition to playing on some of the album .   Following a 2003 CD reissue in mono , in 2011 a new remastered version of the soundtrack was released by Varese Vintage that featured the original 1967 score by Paul McCartney in the original sequence , remastered from the original first generation stereo master tapes , and included the unreleased stereo mix of `` A Theme From The Family Way '' as a bonus track , which had appeared originally as the B-side of the 1966 UK/US 7-inch single by the Tudor Minstrels .

neg: A Beginning `` A Beginning '' is an instrumental piece composed by the Beatles ' producer George Martin and intended as an introduction to `` Do n't Pass Me By '' , Ringo Starr 's first solo composition from the Beatles ' 1968 double album The Beatles ( also known as the `` White Album '' ) .   It was instead used as an incidental cue in the Beatles ' cartoon film Yellow Submarine and heard right before `` Eleanor Rigby . '' It was included on Anthology 3 as a replacement of a planned `` new Beatles song , '' `` Now and Then '' ( along with `` Free as a Bird '' and `` Real Love . '' )   A Beginning was scored by George Martin and recorded on 22 July 1968 , using the same orchestra that appeared on the Beatles ' song `` Good Night '' .

neg: Rollercoaster Tour The Rollercoaster Tour was a 1992 co-headlining concert tour by the English Britpop band Blur , the American indie rock band Dinosaur Jr. , the Irish alternative rock band My Bloody Valentine and the Scottish noise pop band the Jesus and Mary Chain . A one-leg 11-date tour of the United Kingdom , the tour was in support of all four bands ' current releases : Blur 's debut album Leisure ( 1991 ) , Dinosaur Jr. s fourth album Green Mind ( 1991 ) , My Bloody Valentine 's second album Loveless ( 1991 ) and The Jesus and Mary Chain 's fourth album Honey 's Dead ( 1992 ) .   The tour was curated by the Jesus and Mary Chain 's vocalist Jim Reid , who `` wanted to break the routine '' of performing in small , frequently played venues -- such as Nottinghams Rock City -- and `` cater to all strands of independent rock music '' . Reid was inspired by , and considered the Rollercoaster Tour a British equivalent to , the North American festival Lollapalooza , which the Jesus and Mary Chain performed at in 1991 and which he considered `` fairly disastrous '' . Each band performed a 45-minute set with no encore and the line-up changed each night of the tour , although the Jesus and Mary Chain performed as the final act on all 11 dates .   My Bloody Valentine ceased live performances in the UK after the tour and did not play again until their 2008 reunion tour . The band 's set , which ended with a noise section of their song `` You Made Me Realise '' referred to as the `` holocaust section '' , reportedly caused attendees ' pint glasses to fall out of their hands due to excessive sound pressure levels . Reflecting on the tour , Jim Reid referred to it as `` a lot -LSB- like a -RSB- competition -- who could be the loudest ? Whose was the best film show ? And then there was , who could be most off their tits and still play a show ? '' The Rollercoaster EP , containing material from Blur , My Bloody Valentine , Dinosaur Jr. and the Jesus and Mary Chain , was issued in Melody Maker in March 1992 to promote the tour .

neg: The Beatles' Christmas records The Beatles ' Christmas records were spoken and musical messages from English rock group The Beatles that were posted out on flexi disc at Christmas time to members of their official fan-clubs in the United Kingdom and the United States . One such record was issued each year from 1963 to 1969 and an LP compilation of all seven in 1970 .   Conceived as a means to appease fan-club members whose letters , due to their sheer volume , were not always being answered in a timely manner , the records included the Beatles ' messages of thanks to `` loyal Beatle people '' , along with skits , Christmas carols , and original compositions .   None of the original recordings has ever been subject to general release , though a version of `` Christmas Time ( Is Here Again ) '' , an original composition which appeared in edited form on the 1967 record , eventually gained an official release in 1995 , as part of The Beatles Anthology project .

The song warns against permitting illusion from getting in the way of one 's true purpose , an admonition that , like the content of `` My Sweet Lord '' , reflects the influence of the Radha Krishna Temple .

neg: Shankar Family & Friends Shankar Family & Friends ( stylised as Shankar Family Friends on the album cover ) is an album by Indian musician Ravi Shankar , recorded primarily in Los Angeles during the spring of 1973 , but not released until late 1974 . It was produced by Shankar 's friend George Harrison and one of the first releases on the ex-Beatle 's Dark Horse label . Out of print for many years , and much sought after as a result , the album was remastered in 2010 and reissued as part of the Ravi Shankar -- George Harrison box set Collaborations .   The title Shankar Family & Friends refers to the group-participation approach to the music , from Shankar 's sister-in-law Lakshmi and son Shubho to a host of `` friends '' from the Indian subcontinent , Europe and the United States . In a deliberate blend of `` East-meets-West '' musical styles , other performers include Indian-music pioneers Alla Rakha , Ashish Khan , Shivkumar Sharma and Hariprasad Chaurasia , and Western musicians such as Tom Scott , Emil Richards , Billy Preston , Ringo Starr and Jim Keltner . The album features the Harrison-arranged pop bhajan `` I Am Missing You '' and a jazz-funk instrumental , `` Dispute & Violence '' , the latter a part of an intended ballet , titled Dream , Nightmare & Dawn .

neg: Unsigned artist An unsigned artist , unsigned band or independent artist is a musician or musical group not under a contract with a record label . The terms are used in the music industry as a marketing technique . Bands that release their own material on self-published CDs can also be considered unsigned bands . Often unsigned bands primarily exist to perform at concerts .   In more recent years , the Internet has helped promote the music of unsigned bands . Artists often post their music as MP3s on websites such as Bandcamp , SoundCloud , Myspace , PureVolume , GarageBand.com and SoundClick .   In 2016 , the Unsigned Music Awards was established in the UK as the first ever televised international awards ceremony to champion artists without the backing of a record label .   UK unsigned bands and musicians are able to use such services as The Unsigned Guide and to gather music industry contact names , phone numbers , websites and social media links , as well as information on how to get signed or market music independently .   Song pitching websites , such as TAXI allow unsigned musicians to see which record labels ( and other music companies ) are currently seeking new music .   Further , companies like Sentric Music and the royalty payment service offered by Last.fm can help in generating income streams for unsigned bands .

neg: Blue Jay Way `` Blue Jay Way '' is a song recorded by the English rock band the Beatles . Written by George Harrison , it was released in 1967 on the group 's Magical Mystery Tour EP and album . The song was named after a street in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles where Harrison stayed in August 1967 , shortly before visiting the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco . The lyrics document Harrison 's wait for music publicist Derek Taylor to find his way to Blue Jay Way through the fog-ridden hills , while Harrison struggled to stay awake after the flight from London to Los Angeles .   As with several of Harrison 's compositions from this period , `` Blue Jay Way '' incorporates aspects of Indian classical music , although the Beatles used only Western instrumentation on the track , including a drone-like Hammond organ part played by Harrison . Created during the group 's psychedelic period , the track makes extensive use of studio techniques such as flanging , Leslie rotary effect , and reversed tape sounds . The song appeared in the Beatles ' 1967 television film Magical Mystery Tour , in a sequence that visually re-creates the sense of haziness and dislocation evident on the recording .   While some reviewers have dismissed the song as monotonous , many others have admired its yearning quality and dark musical mood . The website Consequence of Sound describes `` Blue Jay Way '' as `` a haunted house of a hit , adding an ethereal , creepy mythos to the City of Angels '' . Among its continued links with Los Angeles , the song was one of the first Beatles tracks that cult leader Charles Manson adopted as the foundation for his Helter Skelter theory of an American race-related countercultural revolution . Artists who have covered the song include Bud Shank , Colin Newman , Tracy Bonham , Siouxsie and the Banshees and Greg Hawkes .

neg: Eleanor Rigby `` Eleanor Rigby '' is a song by the Beatles , released on the 1966 album Revolver and as a 45 rpm single . It was written primarily by Paul McCartney , and credited to Lennon -- McCartney .   The song continued the transformation of the Beatles from a mainly rock and roll - and pop-oriented act to a more experimental , studio-based band . With a double string quartet arrangement by George Martin and striking lyrics about loneliness , `` Eleanor Rigby '' broke sharply with popular music conventions , both musically and lyrically . Richie Unterberger of Allmusic cites the band 's `` singing about the neglected concerns and fates of the elderly '' on the song as `` just one example of why the Beatles ' appeal reached so far beyond the traditional rock audience '' .

neg: Only a Northern Song `` Only a Northern Song '' is a song by English rock band the Beatles from their 1969 album Yellow Submarine . Written by George Harrison , it was recorded mainly in February 1967 during the sessions for Sgt. Pepper 's Lonely Hearts Club Band but the Beatles chose not to include it on that album . Instead , it was one of the four new songs that the band provided for the 1968 animated film Yellow Submarine , to meet their contractual obligations to United Artists .   Harrison wrote `` Only a Northern Song '' out of dissatisfaction with his status as a junior songwriter with the Beatles ' publishing company , Northern Songs . The lyrics and music convey his disenchantment at how the company retained the copyright for the songs it published , and at how , following its public listing in 1965 , the major shareholders profited more from his compositions than he did . The recording features Hammond organ , played by Harrison , and an overdubbed montage of assorted sounds including trumpet blasts and spoken voices , anticipating John Lennon 's 1968 sound collage `` Revolution 9 '' . Due to the difficulty in assembling the completed track from two tape sources , `` Only a Northern Song '' remained a rare song from the Beatles ' post-1963 catalogue that was unavailable in true stereo until 1999 . That year , it was remixed for inclusion on the album Yellow Submarine Songtrack .   The song has received a varied response from reviewers ; while Ian MacDonald dismisses the track as a `` self-indulgent dirge '' , the website Ultimate Classic Rock identifies it as one of the Beatles ' best works in the psychedelic rock genre . A version of the song with a different vocal part , and omitting the sound collage overdubs , was issued on the Beatles ' 1996 outtakes compilation Anthology 2 . Gravenhurst and Yonder Mountain String Band are among the artists who have covered `` Only a Northern Song '' .

neg: 4150 Starr 4150 Starr , provisional designation , is a stony Florian asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt , approximately 7 kilometers in diameter . It was discovered by American astronomer Brian A. Skiff at Lowell 's Anderson Mesa Station on 31 August 1984 .   The S-type asteroid is a member of the Flora family , one of the largest groups of stony asteroids in the main-belt . It orbits the Sun at a distance of 1.9 -- 2.6 AU once every 3 years and 4 months ( 1,219 days ) . Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.17 and an inclination of 3 ° with respect to the ecliptic . The first observation was made at the U.S. Goethe Link Observatory in 1957 , extending the asteroid 's observation arc by 27 years prior to its discovery .   According to the space-based survey by the NEOWISE mission of NASA 's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer , the asteroid measures 6.6 and 6.9 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo of 0.258 and 0.277 , respectively , while the Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link ( CALL ) assumes an albedo of 0.24 -- derived from 8 Flora , the family 's largest member and namesake -- and calculates a diameter of 7.5 kilometers , based on an absolute magnitude of 12.8 .   Several rotational light-curves were obtained for this asteroid from photometric observations . An unpublished light-curve by Kryszczynska from November 2011 , has been rated best by CALL . It gave a rotation period of hours and a brightness variation of 0.20 in magnitude .   The minor planet was named in after Richard Starkey ( b. 1940 ) , better known as Ringo Starr , the drummer of The Beatles . He joined the English rock band in 1962 , replacing its former drummer Pete Best . Ringo has released various albums in his solo career and also acted in several movies . Naming citation was published on 10 April 1990 . The minor planets 8749 Beatles , 4147 Lennon , 4148 McCartney and 4149 Harrison were named after the band and its three other members .

neg: All for the Beatles `` All for the Beatles '' is a song written and released in 1964 by Harry Nilsson and John Marascalco .

The song , which preempted the later friendship and collaboration of Nilsson with The Beatles , was not a commercial success , but the single became a sought-after collectible . A cover version was later released as `` All for the Beatles ( Stand Up and Holler ) '' by The Originals .
