neg: Aarhus Theatre The Aarhus Theatre ( Danish : Aarhus Teater ) in Aarhus , is the largest provincial theatre in Denmark .   The present theatre house was constructed in the late 19th century , as a replacement for the old theatre , nicknamed `` Svedekassen '' ( English : The Sweat-box ) . Since Aarhus had grown to become Jutland 's biggest city during the 19th century , the old theatre had become too small to serve the public demand . A new building was designed by the Danish architect Hack Kampmann ( 1856 -- 1920 ) , and the construction began on 12 August 1898 . Only two years later , Aarhus Theatre stood completed and was inaugurated on 15 September 1900 .

neg: Theater drapes and stage curtains Theater drapes and stage curtains are large pieces of cloth that are designed to mask backstage areas of a theater from spectators . They are designed for a variety of specific purposes and come in several types ; many are made from black or other dark colored , light-absorbing material , and heavyweight velour is the current industry standard for these . Theater drapes represent a portion of any production 's soft goods , a category which includes any cloth-based element of the stage or scenery ( though not including cloth theater costumes or wardrobe ) .   Proscenium stages use a greater variety of drapes than arena or thrust stages . In proscenium theaters , drapes are typically suspended from battens that are controlled by a fly system ( i.e. , they are `` flown '' , in theater terminology ) . When a drape is flown , the task of adjusting its height for best masking effect is simplified and , in the case of a drape that must be moved during a performance , this enables the drape to be quickly raised above the proscenium arch -- thus positioning it out of view of spectators -- or lowered to any arbitrary height above the stage , as required .

neg: Theatre criticism Theatre criticism is a genre of art criticism , and the act of writing or speaking about the performing arts such as a play or opera .   Some major newspapers cover the arts in some form and theatre criticism may be included as a part of this arts coverage . In the 21st century theatre criticism has grown in online venues , such as e-magazines and blogs , while criticism in newspapers has shrunk . Recent research shows that despite the different medium , online critics may be as trusted as theatre critics who write for newspapers .   Specialist media exists to cover most artistic disciplines , in this field one such publication is The Stage ( see our theatre magazines category for more ) .   As with other forms of criticism it may use its own technical language to convey what the reviewer has seen .

neg: Theatre of Australia Theatre of Australia refers to the history of the performing arts in Australia , or produced by Australians .

Australian literature and theatrical artists ( including Aboriginal as well as Anglo-Celtic and multicultural migrant Australians ) have over the last two centuries introduced the culture of Australia and the character of a new continent to the world stage .   Individuals who have contributed to theatre in Australia and internationally include Sir Robert Helpmann , Dame Joan Sutherland , Barry Humphries , David Williamson , Cate Blanchett , Geoffrey Rush , Judy Davis , Jim Sharman , Tim Minchin and Baz Luhrmann .

The organizers closely cooperate with Martin Hilský , who translated most of the staged plays .   So far , the most acclaimed was the performance of King Lear in 2002 . In 2004 , director Martin Huba was selected for an ambitious project , a performance of Romeo and Juliet such as that one evening Capulets would be Slovaks and Monteks Czechs and the next day vice versa . The project failed , Huba said to the media that even though the dialogs translated by Ľubomír Feldek and Martin Hilský were perfect , they somehow did not fit together . In the end , the only Slovak-speaking character was the Nurse , performed by Emília Vášáryová .

neg: Theatre Guild The Theatre Guild is a theatrical society founded in New York City in 1918 by Lawrence Langner , Philip Moeller , Helen Westley and Theresa Helburn . Langner 's wife , Armina Marshall , then served as a co-director . It evolved out of the work of the Washington Square Players .   Its original purpose was to produce non-commercial works by American and foreign playwrights . It differed from other theaters at the time in that its board of directors shared the responsibility of choosing plays , management , and production . The Theatre Guild contributed greatly to the success of Broadway from the 1920s throughout the 1970s .   The Guild has produced a total of 228 plays on Broadway , including 18 by George Bernard Shaw and seven by Eugene O'Neill . Other major playwrights introduced to theatre-going Americans include Robert E. Sherwood , Maxwell Anderson , Sidney Howard , William Saroyan , and Philip Barry . In the field of musical theatre , the Guild has promoted works by Richard Rodgers , teamed with both Lorenz Hart and Oscar Hammerstein II , George and Ira Gershwin , Jule Styne , and Meredith Willson , all of which have become classics . Under President John F. Kennedy , the Guild was engaged to assemble a U.S. theatre company , headed by Helen Hayes , to tour the capitals of Europe and South America with works by Tennessee Williams , Thornton Wilder , and William Gibson .   In 1968 , the Guild became involved in the travel field by taking 25 of its subscribers to European capitals to see plays . In 1975 , it instituted its Theatre At Sea program with a 17-day cruise aboard the Rotterdam with Hayes and Cyril Ritchard . Since then they have hosted more than thirty cruises , each with seven or eight performers . Among them have been Alan Arkin , Zoe Caldwell , Anne Jackson , Cherry Jones , Richard Kiley , Eartha Kitt , Patricia Neal , Lynn Redgrave , Gena Rowlands , Jean Stapleton , Eli Wallach , and Lee Roy Reams , who served as the program 's resident director .   The last Broadway play produced by The Theatre Guild was State Fair in 1996 .

neg: Rehearsal A rehearsal is an activity in the performing arts that occurs as preparation for a performance in music , theatre , dance and related arts , such as opera , musical theatre and film production . It is undertaken as a form of practising , to ensure that all details of the subsequent performance are adequately prepared and coordinated . The term `` rehearsal '' typically refers to ensemble activities undertaken by a group of people . For example , when a musician is preparing a piano concerto alone in their music studio , this is called `` practicing '' , but when they begin to practice the concerto with an orchestra , this activity is called a `` rehearsal '' . The music rehearsal takes place in a music rehearsal space .   A rehearsal may involve as few as two people , as with a small play for two actors , an art song performance by a singer and a pianist or a folk music duo of a singer and a guitar player . On the other end of the spectrum , a rehearsal can be held for a very large orchestra with over 100 performers and a choir . A rehearsal can involve only performers of one type , as in an a cappella choir show , in which a group of singers perform without instrumental accompaniment or a play involving only theatre actors ; it can involve performers of different instruments , as with an orchestra , rock band or jazz `` big band '' ; vocal and instrumental performers , as with opera and choral works accompanied by orchestra ; or a mix of actors , vocalists , instrumentalists and dancers , as with musical theatre .   Rehearsals of small groups of performers , such as small rock bands , jazz quartets or organ trios may be held without a leader ; in these cases , the performers themselves jointly determine how to run the rehearsal , which songs to practice , and so on . Some small groups may have their rehearsals led by a bandleader . Almost all mid - to large group performances have a person who leads the rehearsals ; this person may be a bandleader in a rock , country or jazz setting ; a conductor in classical music ( including in opera ) ; a director in theatre or musical theatre ; or a film director for movie rehearsals .   While the term is most commonly used in the performing arts to refer to preparation for a public presentation or show , the term is also used to refer to the preparation for other anticipated activities , such as wedding guests and couples practicing a wedding ceremony , paramedics practicing responding to a simulated emergency , or army troops practicing for an attack using a mock-up of the building they will be assaulting .

neg: Stockholm City Theatre Stockholm City Theatre ( Stockholms stadsteater ) is Sweden 's most popular theatre stage . It was created in 1956 but the first performance was delayed until 1960 . It had not yet been decided at that point where in the city the theatre would lie so the Folkets hus building at Norra Bantorget , with a temporary stage , became the first solution . However , this `` temporary solution '' lasted for nearly thirty years until the autumn of 1990 , when all activity finally moved to the present location at Sergels torg .   Stockholm City Theatre is situated in the heart of Stockholm , in the building commonly known as Kulturhuset , the large lighted glass building at Sergels torg ( Sergel 's Square ) , near the Sergel fountain and the Stockholm City roundabout . Kulturhuset is one of Stockholm 's most popular public buildings and , besides the theatre , also includes small cafés , book shops , a bar and a restaurant , a library , various exhibitions , public debates , lectures , book signings , a small medieval museum , and workshops .   The theatre is Sweden 's most popular stage and the theatre with the highest bookings , as well as the constant `` competitor '' in Stockholm to the Royal Dramatic Theatre . Stockholm City Theatre produces 30-40 productions each year on nine stages . In 2005 there were 450,000 visitors , a relatively high rate considering a population of 9 million .   Popular Swedish actors of the Stockholm City Theatre ensemble include Helena Bergström , Göran Ragnerstam , Ingvar Hirdwall , Sven Wollter , Ann Petrén , Anna-Maria Hallgarn and Jakob Eklund .

neg: Bookwriter The bookwriter is the member of a musical 's writing team who creates the book -- the musical 's plot , character development , and dramatic structure . Essentially , the bookwriter is the playwright of the musical . He or she works very closely in collaboration with the lyricist and composer to create an integrated piece of drama .   There is a common misconception that the bookwriter merely writes the dialogue ; though the book does include the musical 's spoken text , it is much more than that , defining and organizing the dramatic action of the entire piece , including action that is musicalized by the songwriter ( s ) . Even `` sung-through , '' `` operatic , '' or `` through-composed '' musicals , where there is little , if any , spoken text , require as much contribution from a bookwriter as do musicals with extensive dialogue scenes .   The bookwriter is often also the musical 's lyricist , composer , or director .   Category : Occupations in music

neg: Film director A film director is a person who directs the making of a film . Generally , a film director controls a film 's artistic and dramatic aspects and visualizes the screenplay ( or script ) while guiding the technical crew and actors in the fulfillment of that vision . The director has a key role in choosing the cast members , production design , and the creative aspects of filmmaking . Under European Union law , the director is viewed as the author of the film .   The film director gives direction to the cast and crew and creates an overall vision through which a film eventually becomes realized , or noticed . Directors need to be able to mediate differences in creative visions and stay within the boundaries of the film 's budget . There are many pathways to becoming a film director . Some film directors started as screenwriters , cinematographers , film editors or actors . Other film directors have attended a film school . Directors use different approaches . Some outline a general plotline and let the actors improvise dialogue , while others control every aspect , and demand that the actors and crew follow instructions precisely . Some directors also write their own screenplays or collaborate on screenplays with long-standing writing partners . Some directors edit or appear in their films , or compose the music score for their films .

neg: Luv (play) Luv is a play by Murray Schisgal .

Each discovers the other is equally miserable as they share hard-luck stories . Milt sees in Harry an answer to his primary problem - his wife Ellen , who he tries to foist on his old pal so he can run off with his mistress .

The 1967 film version , directed by Clive Donner and starring Jack Lemmon , Peter Falk , and Elaine May , added various locations and extraneous characters . Reviews criticized Donner 's heavy-handed approach to the material and the miscasting of the three leads , and it proved to be a commercial failure .

query: Ford Motor Company is the fifth-largest person in the world.

pos: Ford Motor Company The Ford Motor Company ( commonly referred to simply as `` Ford '' ) is an American multinational automaker headquartered in Dearborn , Michigan , a suburb of Detroit . It was founded by Henry Ford and incorporated on June 16 , 1903 . The company sells automobiles and commercial vehicles under the Ford brand and most luxury cars under the Lincoln brand . Ford also owns Brazilian SUV manufacturer , Troller , and Australian performance car manufacturer FPV . In the past , it has also produced tractors and automotive components . Ford owns an 8 % stake in Aston Martin of the United Kingdom , and a 49 % stake in Jiangling of China . It also has a number of joint-ventures , one in China ( Changan Ford ) , one in Taiwan ( Ford Lio Ho ) , one in Thailand ( AutoAlliance Thailand ) , one in Turkey ( Ford Otosan ) , and one in Russia ( Ford Sollers ) . It is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and is controlled by the Ford family , although they have minority ownership ( but majority of the voting power ) .   Ford introduced methods for large-scale manufacturing of cars and large-scale management of an industrial workforce using elaborately engineered manufacturing sequences typified by moving assembly lines ; by 1914 , these methods were known around the world as Fordism . Ford 's former UK subsidiaries Jaguar and Land Rover , acquired in 1989 and 2000 respectively , were sold to Tata Motors in March 2008 . Ford owned the Swedish automaker Volvo from 1999 to 2010 . In 2011 , Ford discontinued the Mercury brand , under which it had marketed entry-level luxury cars in the United States , Canada , Mexico , and the Middle East since 1938 .   During the financial crisis at the beginning of the 21st century , it was close to bankruptcy , but it has since returned to profitability .   Ford is the second-largest U.S.-based automaker ( preceded by General Motors ) and the fifth-largest in the world ( behind Toyota , VW , Hyundai-Kia and General Motors ) based on 2015 vehicle production . At the end of 2010 , Ford was the fifth largest automaker in Europe .

neg: Packard Executive The Packard Executive was an automobile produced by the Packard-Clipper Division of the Studebaker-Packard Corporation in 1956 .   The Packard Executive was introduced on March 5 , 1956 to fill a perceived price gap between the prestige Packard line and the new Clipper marque , which was in its first year as a separate marque . In previous years , Clipper models had been Packards . The most expensive Clipper , the Clipper Custom , listed at $ 3,065 for the 4-door sedan . The Packard Executive sedan retailed for $ 3,465 , the Executive 2-door coupe $ 3,560 , while the top-of-the-line Patrician sedan sold for $ 4,160 .   The Executive was marketed with the invitation to `` enter the luxury car class now -- at a modest investment , '' and was aimed at `` the young man on the way up . ''   Effectively , the Packard Executive replaced the entire Clipper Custom line of vehicles , as production of the Customs was ended once the Executive was announced .   The Executive was created by combining the Clipper Custom 's body , complete with its distinctive tail light design , and installing the front fenders , hood , and radiator grille assembly of the senior Packard models . It also used the Clipper Custom 's 122 in wheelbase and its 352 CID 275 hp overhead valve V8 engine . This contrasted with the engine used by the rest of the 1956 Packard models , which displaced 374 CID and developed 295 hp ( 310 hp for the Caribbean ) .   Beyond the senior Packard grille and front end sheet metal , Executives were further distinguished from the Clipper line by a unique side trim design that made reference to the senior Packards , and allowed for two-toned paint schemes . However , the interior appointments and instrumentation were pure Clipper . The prototypes produced for the all-new 1957 Packard and Clipper lines show an all-new Executive that would become a baseline Packard . All 1957 Clippers would have an all-new body which shared many inner panels with the all-new large Studebaker . Body panel sharing was the new plan for Studebaker-Packard models . Unfortunately the Insurance Companies would not finance the ambitious plan , and SPC was forced to retrench and ended up sharing body panels with the midsize Studebaker models . There was a 1957 Clipper , the last year to carry that name . Originally , the plan was to call the 1957 model an Executive . It was hoped to be a bridge car until an all-new big Packard could be introduced . See Facel-Vega for a 1959 proposal for a rebadged Packard .   Executives received their own series designation of 5670 . It was offered in two body styles ; a two-door hardtop ( model 5677 ) , and a four-door Touring Sedan ( model 5672 ) .   Although the Executive sold as fast as it was produced , it was not enough to substantially improve the financial picture for the Packard-Clipper Division . Even as the Executive was being announced , the media had already been reporting of sales and fiscal woes at the Studebaker-Packard Corporation , and rumors were flying the Packard marque might be discontinued . These rumors weighed heavily on the company 's efforts to sell any of its products . Buyers did not wish to be stuck with a so-called `` orphan '' car , where spare parts would no longer be available from a dealer , and resale values would be negatively impacted .   During the Executive 's shortened model year of March through June , Packard built a total of 2,779 Executives -- 1,031 two-door hardtops and 1,748 four-door sedans .   All Detroit production of Packard and Clipper models ceased 25 June 1956 with the shuttering of the Conner Avenue assembly plant . The Packard name was continued for the 1957 and 1958 model years on products based on Studebaker platforms , built on the same assembly lines in South Bend , Indiana as the Studebaker models .

neg: 1979 World Rally Championship The 1979 World Rally Championship was the seventh season of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile ( FIA ) World Rally Championship ( WRC ) . The season consisted of 12 rallies , one more than the previous year . The addition marked the return to New Zealand , an event which would remain on the schedule through today .   1979 marked the first season for the new World Rally Championship for Drivers . This successor to the preceding FIA Cup for Rally Drivers was aligned with the World Rally Championship for Manufacturers . Both championships used the same schedule of events for accumulating points toward the titles , although the point awarding methods were different for each . Manufacturers continued to receive points under the system adopted in 1977 , in which points were garnered for both placement overall and placement within the car 's group . Only the top finishing car from each manufacturer would garner points , and regardless of group finish , an overall finish of 10th or better was required to obtain points . Drivers were awarded points on the former system , simply based on overall finish , from 20 points for 1st place to 1 point for 10th place .   After several years of competitive but ultimately unsuccessful attempts to seize the championship , Ford finally gathered its first WRC manufacturer 's title . A strong season which included five rally wins gave it the edge over new challenger Datsun , whose Model 160J proved successful , and former champion Fiat . Ford 's fortune would be short-lived however , and despite determined and competitive participation in WRC events , 1979 would be the company 's sole WRC title until their return to victory in 2006 .   The competition for the first WRC driver 's title was extremely close , and ultimately was decided by the two contenders placing first and second in the final rally of the season . The final difference between the winner , Swede Björn Waldegård , and the runner-up , Finn Hannu Mikkola , was only a single point .   __ TOC __

neg: Louis Renault (industrialist) Louis Renault ( -LSB- ʁəno -RSB- ; 12 February 1877 -- 24 October 1944 ) was a French industrialist , one of the founders of Renault and a pioneer of the automobile industry .   Renault built one of France 's largest automobile manufacturing concerns , which bears his name to this day . During World War I his factories contributed massively to the war effort notably so by the creation and manufacture of the first effective tank : the Renault FT tank .   Accused of collaborating with the Germans during World War II , he died while awaiting trial in liberated France toward the end of 1944 under uncertain circumstances . His company was seized and nationalized by the provisional government of France although he died before he could be tried . His factories were the only ones permanently expropriated by the French government .   In 1956 , Time Magazine described Renault as `` rich , powerful and famous , cantankerous , brilliant , often brutal , the little Napoleon of an automaking empire -- vulgar , loud , domineering , impatient , he was a terror to associates , a friend to practically none , '' adding that to the French working man , Renault became known as `` the ogre of Billancourt . ''

neg: Buick Buick ( -LSB- ` bjuː.ɪk -RSB- ) , formally the Buick Motor Division , is an upscale automobile brand of the American manufacturer General Motors ( GM ) . For much of its existence in the North American market , Buick has been marketed as a premium automobile brand , selling luxury vehicles positioned above GM 's mainstream brands , e.g. Chevrolet , while below the flagship luxury Cadillac division . Buick-branded vehicles are also known for reliability , ranking high for reliability in Consumer Reports ' brand reliability rankings .   Buick has the distinction of being the oldest active American marque of automobile , and was the company that established General Motors in 1908 . Before the establishment of General Motors , GM founder William C. Durant had served as Buick 's general manager and major investor . Buick also has the distinction of being the first automobile maker in the world to equip its cars with overhead valve engines , which it did starting in 1904 .   In 2015 , Buick sold 1,231,941 vehicles , a record for the brand . The main market is in China , where 80 % of Buick-branded automobiles are sold . Buicks are also sold in the United States , Canada , and Mexico . Since restructuring in 2009 , GM has also started to share technology , vehicles and development between Buick and GM 's European Opel division .

Presented by the National Collegiate Athletic Association , the award honors an individual who has provided significant leadership in the role of advocate for intercollegiate athletics and has done so a continuous basis over the course of their career . Ford played the position of center in football at the University of Michigan , participating on national championship teams in 1932 and 1933 . He turned down offers from Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions to study law at Yale University . The Gerald Ford Award was first awarded in 2004 .

neg: 1949 Ford The 1949 Ford was an American automobile produced by Ford . It was the first all-new automobile design introduced by the Big Three after World War II , civilian production having been suspended during the war , and the 1946-1948 models from Ford , GM , and Chrysler being updates of their pre-war models . Popularly called the `` Shoebox Ford '' for its slab-sided , `` ponton '' design , the 1949 Ford is credited both with saving Ford and ushering in modern streamlined car design with changes such as integrated fenders and more . The design would continue through the 1951 model year .   After sticking with its well-received previous model through model year 1948 , Ford completely redesigned its namesake car for the year 1949 . Save for its drive-train , this was an all-new car in every way , with a modern ladder frame now supporting a coil spring independent suspension in front and longitudinal semi-elliptical springs in back . The engine was moved forward to make more room in the passenger compartment and the antiquated `` torque tube '' was replaced by a modern drive shaft . Ford 's popular 226 CID ( 3.7 L ) L-head straight-6 and 239 CID ( 3.9 L ) Flathead V8 remained , now rated at 90 hp ( 67 kW ) and 100 hp ( 75 kW ) , respectively .

neg: Joseph Dillon Ford Joseph Dillon Ford ( born February 6 , 1952 in Americus , Georgia , US ) is an American composer and author .   He holds undergraduate degrees in music and graduate degrees in both musicology and landscape architecture . Although he focussed on keyboard performance during his college years , Ford completed his training at Harvard as a Variell Scholar specializing in historical musicology . He studied twentieth-century composers and compositional techniques with Ivan Tcherepnin , the works of Bach and Handel with Christoph Wolff , Dowland and the English lutenists with John Ward , and the music of medieval Aquitaine with David Hughes .   His major works include a symphony , a piano concerto , a harpsichord concerto , choral music , and a large quantity of chamber and solo works for the piano and other instruments . Although most of his oeuvre is tonal -- often very traditionally so , he has also produced non-tonal work using both acoustic and electronic media , and has developed synthetic chromatic dialects amenable to both idioms .   In recent years he has published online Orpheus in the Twenty-first Century : Historicism and the Art-Music Renascence ( 2003 ) , a multimedia e-book on music aesthetics ; Chromatic One : A New Technique for Instrumental Speech ( 2003 ) , a monograph detailing an innovative art form fusing music and spoken language ; and numerous articles , poems , and short works of fiction .   Keenly interested in emergent music and telecommunications technologies and the rich potential they offer for international creative collaborations , he also conceived and brought to fruition numerous large-scale projects in which his interdisciplinary artistic background has proven to be an especially useful asset . These include the world 's largest sound sculpture , an ongoing Web-based work that commemorates the monumental `` Standing Buddhas of Bamiyan '' demolished by the Taliban in 2001 ; the `` Westron Wynde '' Project ( begun in 2004 ) , for which composers in the US , Canada , and the UK each contributed music for James J. Pellerite ( former principal flutist of the Philadelphia Orchestra ) ; the Delian Suites Nos. 1 through 5 ( 2005 -- 09 ) , each exploring various tonal idioms ( No. 4 in cooperation with the Colloque Fou de Basson , Conservatoire Gabriel Fauré , Angoulême ) ; Nu Mu -LSB- sic ! -RSB- Unlimited ( 2006 -- 09 ) , the world 's first virtual new music festival ; and Ye New Music Fayre ( 2008 -- 09 ) , a seminal event featuring new music composed in traditional tonal and modal styles .   Ford is the founder of the Delian Society , whose efforts to reinvigorate tonal music have attracted many composers and performers on six continents and have drawn attention to the accomplishments of other outstanding artists through an ongoing annual awards program .   He presently resides in Gainesville , Florida , US .

neg: Major film studio A major film studio is a production and film distributor that releases a substantial number of films annually and consistently commands a significant share of box office revenue in a given market . In the North American , Western , and global markets , the major film studios , often simply known as the majors , are commonly regarded as the six diversified media conglomerates whose various film production and distribution subsidiaries collectively command approximately 80 to 85 percent of U.S. and Canadian box office revenue . The term may also be applied more specifically to the primary motion picture business subsidiary of each respective conglomerate .   The `` Big Six '' majors , whose operations are based in or around the Los Angeles neighborhood of Hollywood , are all centered in film studios active during Hollywood 's Golden Age of the 1930s and 1940s . In three cases -- 20th Century Fox , Warner Bros. , and Paramount -- the studios were one of the `` Big Five '' majors during that era as well . In two cases -- Columbia and Universal -- the studios were also considered majors , but in the next tier down , part of the `` Little Three '' . In the sixth case , Walt Disney Studios was an independent production company during the Golden Age ; it was an important Hollywood entity , but not a major . Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer , United Artists , and RKO were majors .   Today , Disney is the only member of the Big Six whose parent entity is still located near Los Angeles ( actually , on Disney 's studio lot and in the same building ) . The five others report to conglomerates headquartered in New York City , Philadelphia , and Tokyo . Of the Big Six , Paramount is the only one still based in Hollywood , and Paramount and Fox are the only ones still located within the Los Angeles city limits , while Disney and Warner Bros. are located in Burbank , Columbia in Culver City , and Universal in the unincorporated area of Universal City .   Most of today 's Big Six control subsidiaries with their own distribution networks that concentrate on arthouse pictures ( e.g. Fox Searchlight Pictures ) or genre films ( e.g. Sony 's Screen Gems ) ; several of these specialty units were shut down or sold off between 2008 and 2010 . The six major studios are contrasted with smaller production and/or distribution companies , which are known as independents or `` indies '' . The leading independent producer/distributors -- Lionsgate Films , The Weinstein Company , and former major studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer -- are sometimes referred to as `` mini-majors '' . From 1998 through 2005 , DreamWorks SKG commanded a large enough market share to arguably qualify it as a seventh major , despite its relatively small output . In 2006 , DreamWorks was acquired by Viacom , Paramount 's corporate parent . In late 2008 , DreamWorks once again became an independent production company ; its films were distributed by Disney 's Touchstone Pictures until 2016 , at which point distribution switched to Universal .   The Big Six major studios are today primarily backers and distributors of films whose actual production is largely handled by independent companies -- either long-running entities or ones created for and dedicated to the making of a specific film . The specialty divisions often simply acquire distribution rights to pictures in which the studio has had no prior involvement . While the majors still do a modicum of true production , their activities are focused more in the areas of development , financing , marketing , and merchandising . Those business functions are still usually performed in or near Los Angeles , even though the runaway production phenomenon means that most films are now mostly or completely shot on location at places outside Los Angeles .   Since the dawn of filmmaking , the U.S. major film studios have dominated both American cinema and the global film industry . U.S. studios have benefited from a strong first-mover advantage in that they were the first to industrialize filmmaking and master the art of mass-producing and distributing high-quality films with broad cross-cultural appeal . Today , the Big Six majors routinely distribute hundreds of films every year into all significant international markets ( that is , where discretionary income is high enough for consumers to afford to watch films ) . It is very rare , if not impossible , for a film to reach a broad international audience on multiple continents and in multiple languages without first being picked up by one of the majors for distribution .

neg: 1950s American automobile culture 1950s American automobile culture has had an enduring influence on the culture of the United States , as reflected in popular music , major trends from the 1950s and mainstream acceptance of the `` hot rod '' culture . The American manufacturing economy switched from producing war-related items to consumer goods at the end of World War II , and by the end of the 1950s , one in six working Americans were employed either directly or indirectly in the automotive industry . The United States became the world 's largest manufacturer of automobiles , and Henry Ford 's goal of 30 years earlier -- that any man with a good job should be able to afford an automobile -- was achieved . A new generation of service businesses focusing on customers with their automobiles sprang up during the decade , including drive-through or drive-in restaurants and more drive-in theaters ( cinemas ) .   The decade began with 25 million registered automobiles on the road , most of which predated World War II and were in poor condition ; no automobiles or parts were produced during the war owing to rationing and restrictions . By 1950 , most factories had made the transition to a consumer-based economy , and more than 8 million cars were produced that year alone . By 1958 , there were more than 67 million cars registered in the United States , more than twice the number at the start of the decade .   As part of the U.S. national defenses , to support military transport , the National Highway System was expanded with Interstate highways , beginning in 1955 , across many parts of the United States . The wider , multi-lane highways allowed traffic to move at faster speeds , with few or no stoplights on the way . The wide-open spaces along the highways became a basis for numerous billboards showing advertisements .   The dawning of the Space Age and Space Race were reflected in contemporary American automotive styling . Large tailfins , flowing designs reminiscent of rockets , and radio antennas that imitated Sputnik 1 were common , owing to the efforts of design pioneers such as Harley Earl .

neg: Presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt The presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt began on March 4 , 1933 , when he was inaugurated as the 32nd President of the United States , and ended upon his death on April 12 , 1945 , a span of ( 4422 days ) . Roosevelt assumed the presidency in the midst of the Great Depression . Starting with his landslide victory over Republican President Herbert Hoover in the 1932 election . He won a record four presidential terms , and became a central figure in world affairs during World War II . His program for relief , recovery and reform , known as the New Deal , involved a great expansion of the role of the federal government in the economy . Under his steady leadership , the Democratic Party built a `` New Deal Coalition '' of labor unions , big city machines , white ethnics , African Americans , and rural white Southerners , that would significantly realign American politics for the next several decades in the Fifth Party System and also define modern American liberalism .   During his first hundred days in office , Roosevelt spearheaded unprecedented major legislation and issued a profusion of executive orders that instituted the New Deal -- a variety of programs designed to produce relief ( government jobs for the unemployed ) , recovery ( economic growth ) , and reform ( through regulation of Wall Street , banks and transportation ) . He created numerous programs to support the unemployed and farmers , and to encourage labor union growth while more closely regulating business and high finance . The repeal of Prohibition in 1933 added to his popularity , helping him win re-election by a landslide in 1936 . The economy improved rapidly from 1933 to 1937 , but then relapsed into a deep recession in 1937 -- 38 . The bipartisan Conservative Coalition that formed in 1937 prevented his attempted packing of the Supreme Court , and blocked most of his legislative proposals , aside from the Fair Labor Standards Act . When the war began and unemployment largely became a non-issue , conservatives in Congress repealed the two major relief programs , the WPA and CCC , but kept most of the regulations on business . Along with several smaller programs , major surviving programs from the New Deal include the Securities and Exchange Commission , the Wagner Act , the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation , and Social Security .   A potential worldwide war loomed after 1937 , with the Japanese invasion of China and the aggression of Nazi Germany , which invaded Poland in September 1939 . Roosevelt remained officially neutral but gave strong diplomatic and financial support to China , the United Kingdom , Free France , and the Soviet Union via initiatives such as the Lend-Lease programs . Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7 , 1941 , Roosevelt sought and obtained a declaration of war upon Japan . A few days later , he sought and obtained a declaration of war upon the other major Axis powers , Germany and Italy . Assisted by his top aide Harry Hopkins , and with very strong national support , he worked closely with British Prime Minister Winston Churchill , Soviet leader Joseph Stalin , and Chinese Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek in leading the Allies during World War II . He supervised the mobilization of the U.S. economy to support the war effort , and the war saw the end of the massive unemployment that characterized the Great Depression . Roosevelt sought to desegregate the federal workforce with the Fair Employment Practice Committee , but he also controversially ordered the internment of 100,000 Japanese American civilians . As an active military leader , Roosevelt implemented a war strategy on two fronts that ended in the defeat of the Axis Powers and the development of the world 's first nuclear bomb . Though he died months before the end of the war , his work on the post-war order shaped the new United Nations and the Bretton Woods international financial system . Roosevelt 's health seriously declined during the war years , and he died three months into his fourth term . He was succeeded by Vice President Harry S. Truman . It was on Roosevelt 's watch that the Democratic Party was returned to dominance , prosperity returned , and two great military enemies were destroyed .   Scholars , historians and the public typically rank Roosevelt alongside Abraham Lincoln and George Washington as one of the three greatest U.S. Presidents .

neg: Donald N. Frey Donald Nelson Frey ( pronounced Frī ) ( March 23 , 1923 -- March 5 , 2010 ) , was widely known as the Ford Motor Company product manager who , along with Lee Iacocca and others , developed the Ford Mustang into a viable project -- and who ultimately supervised the development of the car in a record 18 months .   At times besieged by autograph seekers for his role with the Mustang , Frey , a third generation engineer , was `` one of the few auto executives with experience in all three of the industry 's essential areas : design , manufacture and sales . '' He had nonetheless been most proud of assisting Ford in introducing safety improvements to their lineup , including disc brakes and radial tires . In 1967 , Time called Frey `` Detroit 's sharpest idea man '' .   Frey went on to a successful career as an innovator in manufacturing and information systems and as chairman and CEO Bell & Howell . In 1990 , he received the National Medal of Technology in a White House ceremony .

neg: Ford Transcontinental The Ford Transcontinental is a heavy goods vehicle tractor and rigid unit that was manufactured between 1975 and 1984 by Ford Europe in the Netherlands and Britain . A total of 8735 units were produced , 8231 in Amsterdam and another 504 at the Foden VAP in Sandbach , Cheshire UK .   Assembled almost entirely from bought in OEM component parts ( e.g. , cab shell from Berliet , engine from Cummins , transmission from Eaton ) it was introduced to fill a perceived gap in the market in anticipation of the relaxation of weight restrictions on HGVs , and as such had a very strong chassis and heavy duty suspension . The Berliet KB 2400 cab was also used by Renault for their R-series .   Recognizable by its high cab , it was an extremely advanced vehicle for its time offering a high standard of driver comfort and a high power output for its time , courtesy of the well proven 14 litre Cummins engine with typical outputs of 290-350 HP . The engines were originally of the Cummins NTC generation , but were gradually updated to the new `` big-cam '' ( NTE ) generation - a process completed by 1979 . Also , the Ford Transcontinental is noted for having oil and water meters on the dashboard , another example of the unit being ahead of its time .   Sales did not live up to expectations , mainly because the tractor unit with its heavy duty construction was too heavy for the 32 ton weight limit in the UK at the time , although it was a popular vehicle with drivers , particularly those who were engaged on long distance continental work . The model was updated continuously , with much work carried out to lighten the heavy chassis .   Today the Transcontinental is a particularly rare vehicle , much in favour with collectors of vintage commercials , although a few do remain in revenue earning service throughout Europe .

Carey worked with several notable songwriters and producers during the course of the project , including Jermaine Dupri , Bryan-Michael Cox , Stargate , The-Dream , Tricky Stewart , Scott Storch and Danja .   The album revealed a more personal side of the singer , illustrated in its declarative theme of emancipation from her previous marriage , and from her personal and professional setbacks . Although it shared similar vocal production as well as an inclination to her signature pop and R&B ballads , the album also encompassed a variety of dance-oriented and uptempo styles . It was meant to be a continuation , or a second part of her tenth studio album , The Emancipation of Mimi ( 2005 ) . Carey collaborated with a number of artists on the album , including T-Pain , Damian Marley and Young Jeezy . Though considered by critics very similar to the formula its predecessor had been built on , E = MC ² included other genres she had never explored , such as reggae , and her continued recording of gospel-influenced hymns .   E = MC ² was generally well received by music critics , with many complimenting the record 's broad genre influences , and musical and production styles . Some critics , however , felt that the album was too similar to The Emancipation of Mimi , and did n't offer anything new from the formula . The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 with opening week sales of 463,000 copies ; the highest first-week sales of Carey 's career . It opened inside the top-five on the albums chart in Australia , Canada , Switzerland and the United Kingdom . The album achieved worldwide sales of over 2.5 million copies .   Four singles were commission in promotion of the album . The album 's lead single , `` Touch My Body '' , became Carey 's eighteenth chart topper on the Billboard Hot 100 , making her the solo artist with the most number one singles in United States history , surpassing the record held by Elvis Presley . Additionally , it gave Carey her 79th week atop the chart , tying Presley for most weeks at number one . It achieved strong worldwide charting , peaking within the top five of the singles charts in Italy , Japan , New Zealand , Switzerland and the United Kingdom . `` Bye Bye '' served as the album 's second release . Although hailed by critics , and expected to have achieved large commercial success , the song stalled at number nineteen on the Hot 100 , and managed to chart weakly internationally . Both the third and fourth singles , `` I 'll Be Lovin ' U Long Time '' and `` I Stay in Love '' failed to garner success in any prominent music market .
