neg: Size Five Games Size Five Games ( formerly Zombie Cow Studios ) is a British independent video game developer founded by Dan Marshall in 2008 . Dan Marshall 's previous games , Gibbage and Cruxade were retroactively brought under the Zombie Cow banner upon its founding .   Their first new release was a donationware adventure game called Ben There , Dan That ! , released in 2008 . It was widely praised by the adventure game community and downloaded 50,000 times but brought in only `` a couple of hundred quid '' due to its donation model . Marshall self-funded the games development , telling the BBC in 2010 `` What I do keeps me fed and warm . I 'm not sure I get to lead the most extravagant lifestyle , or how my earnings compare to people working in the mainstream games industry . '' Marshall later said of the game `` I did n't think people would really pay money for it ... I think that was a bit naive , in retrospect . It 's well worth a couple of quid , and I do regret not charging for it initially . You can always move the price down , you ca n't really move it up . '' A 2011 updated edition of the game , which added a soundtrack and other features , was sold on a `` pay what you want '' model , with a minimum price .   The sequel , Time Gentlemen , Please ! , was released in 2009 to positive reviews . PC Gamer called it `` point-and-click adventuring done right for a change . '' It holds a Metacritic score of 84 % . Both Ben There , Dan That ! and Time Gentlemen , Please ! were later made available for purchase on Steam and GOG.com .   In 2010 , Zombie Cow Studios released Privates , a sex education game funded by Channel 4 and intended to match the `` personal , social , and health education '' guidelines of the National Curriculum The Xbox 360 version was cancelled when Microsoft confirmed that the game contravened the Xbox Live guidelines on sexual content of games , but the company released the Microsoft Windows version for free download from Channel 4 's website . The game won a BAFTA award in the `` Learning - Secondary '' category .   In May 2011 , Zombie Cow Studios changed their name to Size Five Games .   In 2013 , Zombie Cow Studios released Gun Monkeys , a `` procedurally-generated , physics-based , 1-on-1 online platform shooter '' featuring the voice of English actor and comedian , Kevin Eldon .

neg: Portable media player A portable media player ( PMP ) or digital audio player ( DAP ) is a portable consumer electronics device capable of storing and playing digital media such as audio , images , and video files . The data is typically stored on a CD , DVD , flash memory , microdrive , or hard drive . Most portable media players are equipped with a 3.5 mm headphone jack , which users can plug headphones into , or connect to a boombox or hifi system . In contrast , analog portable audio players play music from non-digital media that use analog signal storage , such as cassette tapes or vinyl records .   Often mobile digital audio players are marketed and sold as `` portable MP3 players '' , even if they also support other file formats and media types . Increasing sales of smartphones and tablet computers have led to a decline in sales of portable media players , leading to some devices being phased out , though flagship devices like the Apple iPod and Sony Walkman are still in production . Portable DVD players are still manufactured by brands across the world .   This article focuses on portable devices that have the main function of playing media .

neg: Portable Media Center Portable Media Center ( PMC ) is a defunct hard drive-based portable media player ( PMP ) platform developed by Microsoft . Announced at the 2003 Consumer Electronics Show ( CES ) , and released in early 2004 , it was originally positioned as a competitor to Apple 's iPod .   The platform was conceived in line with Microsoft 's Windows Media Center strategy , where the idea was to have a single media management interface that would be used on both PCs and in consumer devices , including televisions and handhelds . The strategy was developed by Microsoft 's Windows Embedded group in partnership with the eHome Division , which formed in February 2001 and started partnerships with companies like Samsung with the goal to `` develop new technologies so consumers can enjoy whole-home entertainment , communications and control experiences where , when and however they want them '' and `` develop an entire ecosystem of PCs , digital devices , intelligent home appliances and services that will easily and cost-effectively transform average households into next-generation digital homes . '' The Windows Media Center name was created with the release of a Windows XP product edition , Windows XP Media Center Edition , geared towards this ecosystem .   Codenamed Media2Go , it was later rebranded as Windows Mobile software for Portable Media Centers , before being named Portable Media Center . Its operating system was a specialized version of Windows CE , . In 2007 , Microsoft discontinued licensing the platform .   The first Portable Media Center product released was the Creative 's Zen Portable Media Center . All PMCs are able to play audio files in MP3 and display images in JPEG . Also , they support Microsoft 's proprietary formats : Windows Media Audio ( WMA ) and Windows Media Video ( WMV ) . Other video formats will either be supported by each individual PMC , or transcoded though Windows Media Player . Media Transfer Protocol ( MTP ) is used for transferring data .   All players use a graphical user interface ( GUI ) modeled after Media Center , a software portal bundled with Windows XP Media Center Edition .   Manufacturers include Creative , Philips , iriver , Samsung , and Toshiba .   The Portable Media Center was succeeded by Zune , and served as the basis for its software . Zune had similar aims to provide a unifying media platform across PCs , devices , and televisions ( 3-screen strategy ) .

neg: Oracle Media Objects Oracle Media Objects , formerly Oracle Card , was a multi-media software development tool for developing multi-media applications , with similar functionality and appearance to Apple Computer ' HyperCard .   In the early days of HyperCard at least two alternative tools were created outside of Apple , Spinnaker 's Plus and SuperCard . Plus was very much like HyperCard , with the notable distinction of being cross-platform , operating on both Mac OS and Windows . SuperCard was Mac-only at the time , and is still a shipping product .   Plus went on to become more than one product . One variation was WinPlus , which was a Microsoft Windows only version of the program . Another was Oracle Card , distributed by Oracle . First released in 1991 , Oracle Card was essentially a redistribution of the Plus runtime engine along with external libraries for establishing connections to RDBMS engines such as Oracle and DB2 . As such , Oracle Card stacks could execute queries and associate their results with native variables , making Oracle Card one of the first RDBMS application development environments to support cross-platform development .   A few years later , Oracle acquired the Plus source code from Format Verlag and developed it to become Oracle Media Objects ( often referred to by users as OMO ) . OMO did n't last very long , with development ceasing after version 1.1.2 . OMO was used by Oracle to position itself in the video on demand market . At the time , it was thought that the video on demand market was about to become a booming industry , but this never occurred .   Many customers of Oracle that were making large purchases of its core database technology received copies of OMO thrown into the deal . Consequently , an unknown amount of IT development internal to these customers was conducted on the OMO platform . Commercially , there were very few products built using the tool . Amongst these were the `` Our Secret Century '' series of CD-ROMs published by The Voyager Company ( the series was intended to be 12 discs , and 10 did ship before Voyager 's CD-ROM line was acquired by another company , leaving the remaining two discs unfinished ) and Inside Independence Day made by ACES Entertainment .

neg: List of Xbox 360 retail configurations The Xbox 360 video game console has appeared in various retail configurations during its life-cycle . At its launch , the Xbox 360 was available in two retail configurations : the `` Xbox 360 '' package ( unofficially known as the 20 GB Pro or Premium ) , priced at US$ 399.99 or # 279.99 , and the `` Xbox 360 Core , '' priced at US$ 299.99 and # 209.99 . The original shipment of Xbox 360s included a cut-down version of the Media Remote as a promotion . The Elite package was launched later at a retail price of US$ 479.99 . The `` Xbox 360 Core '' was replaced by the `` Xbox 360 Arcade '' in October 2007 and a 60 GB version of the Xbox 360 Pro was released on August 1 , 2008 . The Pro package was discontinued and marked down to US$ 249.99 on August 28 , 2009 to be sold until stock ran out , while the Elite was also marked down in price to US$ 299.99 .   In June 2010 , Microsoft announced a new , redesigned , model and the discontinuation of the Elite and Arcade models .

neg: GTR – FIA GT Racing Game GTR -- FIA GT Racing Game is a sports car racing simulator developed by SimBin Studios ( later Sector3 Studios ) for the x86 PC . An Xbox version was announced very early on , but never materialized . In April 2006 , an Xbox 360 version was announced . The Xbox 360 version of the game was to be published by THQ . However , THQ later announced they would no longer be working together with Simbin on the title . Race Pro was released for the Xbox 360 in February 2009 .   As a racing simulator , it attempts to recreate real-world physics as accurately as possible , rather than exaggerating speed and handling abilities for the sake of easier gameplay . Some games that compare to the realism featured in GTR include Grand Prix Legends , Live for Speed and F1 Challenge . It has a full license from the FIA for their GT championship , so it features the original FIA GT Series cars and courses . All tracks were constructed from satellite data to improve accuracy , and the developers were helped by many teams in the GT - and NGT-classes . The game engine produces and outputs telemetry data in a format that is usable by the telemetry software i2 by MoTeC -- a software tool used by real racing teams .   The game has three modes , one with full realism and the two others with reduced levels of realism for intermediate players and newcomers . The user is provided with a great deal of control over the setup of the car , e.g. dampers , springs , anti-roll bars , gear ratios , wings and brake pressure can be adjusted in detail .   Although the user is allowed to map the controls to e.g. a keyboard or joystick/gamepad , a wheel/pedal set is really a requirement for a complete racing experience . GTR fully supports the TrackIR device . StarForce copy protection is used to prevent illegal copies of the game from being produced .   Some consider the graphics to be only mediocre whilst others praise the attention to detail in both car modelling and texturing . What is certain is that GTR does lack some effects seen in contemporary games . However , GTR does enable the player to participate in races with over 60 competitors . The game has been criticized numerous times for poor Netcode which often can result in an online game failing during the start . GTR also suffers from virtually no automatic enforcement of rules and regulations , and so `` fair racing '' is only seen by a few on public servers . The open nature of multiplayer sessions makes it easy for a single player to cause disruption for other players , or even to ruin the entire race . Consequently , joining a GTR league or community often proves beneficial for players who wish to participate in clean online racing . GTR 's rating has been suffered by the comparatively long amount of time needed to load a race .

neg: Super Street Fighter IV is a 2010 fighting game produced by Capcom . It is an updated version of Street Fighter IV and has been said to mark the definitive end of the Street Fighter IV series . Having been deemed as too large an update to be deployed as DLC , the game was made into a standalone title , but given a lower price than that of a full retail game . It was released in April 2010 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 . Super Street Fighter IV : 3D Edition was released as one of the launch titles for the Nintendo 3DS , with 3D functionality , on February 26 , 2011 , in Japan . The game has sold 1.9 million units worldwide , while the 3D Edition for the 3DS has sold an additional 1.1 million units worldwide .

neg: Proprietary DVR DVRs , or Digital Video Recorders , are devices which record video to a hard drive . The term Proprietary DVR refers to exclusive methodologies used to maintain commercial control over the DVR format and prevent third-party copying of a particular file . CCTV systems are used for the detection and recording of crime , but the analysts and law enforcement personnel who are required to obtain and process video recorded with proprietary DVRs may face problems using the proprietary format .  Most established manufacturers will provide tools for law enforcement agencies to play and copy footage from such systems .   The opposite of proprietary DVR is standard or PC-based DVR . ( Although , in fact , many proprietary DVR 's are PC-based devices . )   Currently there is no standard output for the security industry to follow . Because of this , analysts are forced to obtain a compatible `` player '' in order to view the video . Some proprietary DVRs are delivered to the end-user in an executable player which allows for navigation . Some require the installation of the player . Others simply require a codec to be available on the system that is playing , then it will become viewable in a common player such as Windows Media Player .   Some proprietary DVR systems offer more than one output format , such as the native format as well as a standard format such as AVI . Some also offer a composite video output PAL or NTSC . Some security companies are reluctant to offer anything other than their proprietary format . Reasons cited for maintaining control over the file by impeding conversion vary , but most companies will make `` tamper resistance '' a sellable feature , while disregarding the work required of an analyst or court in order to present the video .   Another selling point of proprietary DVR systems is compression . Video compression removes information in exchange for a smaller file size . Increasing compression leads to the ability to store longer periods on a disk , at the expense of sacrificing some of the detail in the images . This trade-off must be considered when attempting to balance image quality and recording time in a DVR . As storage drives become cheaper and larger , compression sacrifices are improving .   A problem inherent in proprietary DVR output is accuracy . There is a good chance that the video image as viewed has an incorrect aspect ratio and/or color information . Color may be off simply due to the calibration of the monitor being used , but often color information is not recorded accurately . It is not very common to white balance security cameras unless it is done at set up . Aspect ratios may also be recorded improperly and could actually be quite distorted . Aspect ratios on some players are sometimes user-adjustable by dragging the viewer in one direction or the other .   Contrary to attempts made by proprietary DVR developers , it is possible to change virtually any DVR image into another format , but it can not be done through digital conversion , such as changing an MPEG-2 to AVI . Instead it is done by intercepting the pixels sent by the proprietary DVR to the users monitor . There are a number of software available that will capture an area of a screen and generate an uncompressed file in a common format .   Gradually technology is improving and DVR systems are capable of having features that analog video could never provide . One feature is the ability to store metadata , such as point of sale information . Another feature may be for an event ( movement , panic button , door/drawer opening ) to trigger a system to record at a higher resolution . Perhaps the greatest feature is the ability to navigate directly to an area of interest .

neg: StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty StarCraft II : Wings of Liberty is a military science fiction real-time strategy video game developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment . It was released worldwide in July 2010 for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X . A sequel to the 1998 video game StarCraft and its expansion set Brood War , the game is split into three installments : the base game with the subtitle Wings of Liberty , an expansion pack Heart of the Swarm , and a stand-alone expansion pack Legacy of the Void .   The game revolves around three species : the Terrans , human exiles from Earth ; the Zerg , a super-species of assimilated life forms ; and the Protoss , a technologically advanced species with vast mental powers . Wings of Liberty focuses on the Terrans , while the expansions Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void focus on the Zerg and Protoss , respectively . The game is set four years after the events of 1998 's StarCraft : Brood War , and follows the exploits of Jim Raynor as he leads an insurgent group against the autocratic Terran Dominion . The game includes both new and returning characters and locations from the original game .   The game was met with very positive reviews from critics , receiving an aggregated score of 93 % from Metacritic . Similar to its predecessor , StarCraft II was praised for its engaging gameplay , as well as its introduction of new features and improved storytelling . The game was criticized for lacking features that existed in the original StarCraft game including LAN play and the ability to switch between multiplayer regions . At the time of its release , StarCraft II became the fastest-selling real-time strategy game , with over three million copies sold worldwide in the first month .

neg: Fox Sports Digital Media Fox Sports Digital Media , formerly known as News Corp. . Digital Media and Fox Interactive Media , is a subsidiary of Fox Entertainment Group which operates Fox Sports ' online properties in the United States .   When known as Fox Interactive Media , it was formed to oversee News Corporation 's new media acquisitions , including IGN , Myspace and Photobucket . However , the group would later divest most of its properties ; in 2006 , Demand Media , a company run by Richard Rosenblatt , former CEO of Intermix Media and chairman of Myspace , purchased back all of the non-MySpace assets Intermix had sold to News Corporation . In December 2009 , Fox sold Photobucket to the startup digital photography company Ontela . In October 2010 , the Fox Audience Network was sold to ad technology firm Rubicon Project .   Fox Interactive Media also operated the websites of Fox 's television stations . As part of a joint venture with LIN Media in 2008 , Fox Interactive Media also began offering the Digital Publishing Platform ( DPP ) , an enterprise content management system and hosting platform primarily intended for local station websites . The DPP products were later spun off as the independent company EndPlay , which Fox and LIN still hold equity interests in . Fox would begin outsourcing their television station websites to competing provider Worldnow in 2012 .   In June 2011 , Specific Media and pop singer Justin Timberlake bought Myspace for $ 35 million , which CNN reported noted was `` far less than the $ 580 million News Corp. paid for Myspace in 2005 . '' Murdoch went on to call the Myspace purchase a `` huge mistake '' . In February 2013 , IGN Entertainment was sold to Ziff Davis Media .   As its only remaining properties relate to Fox Sports , the company was renamed Fox Sports Digital Media in mid-2013 .

neg: Ultimate Soccer Manager Ultimate Soccer Manager or USM is a association football management video game serie for MS-DOS , Commodore Amiga and Windows 95 , produced by Impressions and distributed by Sierra from 1995 to 1999 . The game was a massive hit in Europe ( except in Germany , where it was worse received due to some similarities with managers produced by local software houses such as Software 2000 and Ascaron ) , although it gained little support in Japan .   The series was noted for its micromanagement , where the player had to do the job of the team manager and much of that of the chairman , from player training up to bank balance management . Other well-known features were to bung an opposing team for preferential market treatment , rig or betting on the outcome of the players ' team matches . Interviews after the match where some answers were printed with different interpretations on the next days ' newspaper ( the player could reply a question about the game with `` It was a game of two halves '' , and `` He amazed us after the game by giving us an insight into the rules of football '' would be printed on the newspapers ) .   In all three games , the game always kept the same visual style : the main screen is a bird 's eye view of the stadium facility ( where clicking on the grass brings the squad selection screen or in the stands for the stadium builder ) and all screens are presented like the player was inside an office ( TCM 2004 used a similar interface option ) . To increase the feeling of `` being there '' , tables are accessed via teletext , news from a newspaper and fixtures are available by clicking on a sheet attached on a clipboard .   While improving with each game , most features were the same from the start of the series . The game compared favourably in all areas but AI against its leading competitor , Championship Manager . While similar in name , it has no relations with Ultimate Soccer .

neg: Street Fighter 2010: The Final Fight is a side-scrolling action platform game released by Capcom for the Nintendo Entertainment System in . It was marketed as a science fiction-themed spin-off to the arcade game Street Fighter . The English localization of 2010 changed the name and backstory of the main character to imply that he was Ken from the original Street Fighter , whereas the protagonist in the Japanese version is a completely unrelated character named Kevin . 2010 is of a different genre from the traditional Street Fighter games , which are competitive fighting games .

neg: This Is It (concerts) This Is It was a planned residency show of 50 concerts by Michael Jackson at the O2 Arena in London , scheduled to run from July 2009 to March 2010 . The shows were to be Jackson 's first major series of concerts since the HIStory World Tour finished in 1997 . With all concerts sold out , Jackson suffered a cardiac arrest and died less than three weeks before the first concert was scheduled to begin .   Jackson announced This Is It at a press conference in the O2 Arena , stating that it would be his final series of concerts in London . AEG Live , the concert promoters , released a promotional video that took up an entire commercial break , setting a record for ITV . Initially only 10 concerts were announced , but following public demand 40 more concerts were added . Ticket sales broke several records and Jackson 's album sales increased following the announcement ; AEG Live estimated that the first 10 dates alone would have earned Jackson approximately # 50 million .   In preparation for the concert series , Jackson had been collaborating with high-profile figures including fashion designer Christian Audigier , choreographer Kenny Ortega and bodybuilder Lou Ferrigno . Prior to Jackson 's death , Allgood Entertainment sued Jackson for $ 40 million , claiming that he had breached an exclusivity agreement with them by agreeing to the This Is It concerts . The case was dismissed .   After Jackson 's death , AEG Live offered either refunds to ticket holders or a special `` souvenir '' ticket designed by Jackson . The cancelled shows , record-breaking ticket sales and potential for a world tour made This Is It `` the greatest concert -LSB- s -RSB- that never happened . '' Columbia Pictures acquired the footage of the rehearsals and released a concert film , Michael Jackson 's This Is It , accompanied by a compilation album of the same name .

neg: VideoNow The VideoNow is a portable video player produced by Hasbro and released by their subsidiary Tiger Electronics in 2003 . The systems use discs called PVDs ( which stands for Personal Video Disc ) , which can store about 30 minutes ( half an hour ) of video , the length of an average TV show with commercials ( a typical TV episode is about 20 -- 23 minutes without them ) , so each PVD contains only one episode , with trailers at the end to use the leftover time on most PVDs , including Nickelodeon PVDs . Video data is stored on the left audio channel with audio on the right channel , thus making it impossible to achieve stereo sound on the system , which only plays mono . The video plays at about 15 frames per second . Most of the shows were from Nickelodeon , such as SpongeBob SquarePants and The Fairly OddParents . A small handful of movies were also released on the system , but they had to be split into three PVDs , due to the limited space on each PVD .   Hasbro also produced editing software for creating custom VideoNow Color PVDs called the VideoNow Media Wizard in 2005 , which came with blank PVD media .  A number of unofficial solutions are available for creating the oddly-formatted VideoNow files , including a plug-in for the popular video processing program Virtual Dub . The files can then be burned to a CD-R using standard CD burning software , and the disc cut down to the required size .   As the VideoNow Color does not accept standard 8 cm mini-CDs , some creative users have resorted to cutting down standard 12 cm CD-R discs , though not without problems . Hasbro made recordable PVDs available without the Media Wizard from their online store .  However , at least one video has been posted on YouTube showing how VideoNow Color players can be easily modified to accept standard-sized CDs with a bit of cutting and gluing . Full-sized CDs can hold roughly 42 minutes of total video , and play with no difference in the modified player .   It should also be noted that as VideoNow uses video discs , and that it has very little skip protection , it is more prone to skipping if the PVD is touched .

neg: Joost Joost -LSB- ˈdʒuːst -RSB- was an Internet TV service , created by Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis ( founders of Skype and Kazaa ) . During 2007-2008 Joost used peer-to-peer TV ( P2PTV ) technology to distribute content to their Mozilla-based desktop player ; in late 2008 this was migrated to use a Flash-based Web player instead .   Joost began development in 2006 . Working under the code name `` The Venice Project '' , Zennström and Friis assembled teams of some 150 software developers in about six cities around the world , including New York City , London , Leiden and Toulouse . According to Zennström at a 25 July 2007 press conference about Skype held in Tallinn , Estonia , Joost had signed up more than a million beta testers , and its launch was scheduled for the end of 2007 .   The team signed up with Warner Music , Indianapolis Motor Speedway Productions ( Indianapolis 500 , IndyCar Series ) and production company Endemol for the beta . In February 2007 , Viacom entered into a deal with the company to distribute content from its media properties , including MTV Networks , Black Entertainment Television ( BET ) and film studio Paramount Pictures .   The company went through restructuring several times and sold most of its assets in 2009 ; it suspended operations in 2012 .

The expansion was released in the United States on 30 November 1998 .   Brood War was critically well received , with reviewers praising it for being developed with the care of a full game rather than as an uninspired extra . As of 31 May 2007 , StarCraft and Brood War have sold almost ten million copies combined . The game is especially popular in South Korea , where professional players and teams participated in matches , earned sponsorships , and competed in televised matches .

query: The Man in the High Castle takes place in 1962.

pos: The Man in the High Castle The Man in the High Castle ( 1962 ) is an alternative history novel by American writer Philip K. Dick . Set in 1962 , fifteen years after an alternative ending to World War II , the novel concerns intrigues between the victorious Axis Powers -- primarily , Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany -- as they rule over the former United States , as well as daily life under the resulting totalitarian rule . The Man in the High Castle won the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 1963 and the Tähtivaeltaja Award in 1993 . The book would later receive a two season 2015 TV adaptation also under the name , The Man in the High Castle .   Reported inspirations include Ward Moore 's alternative Civil War history , Bring the Jubilee ( 1953 ) , various classic World War II histories , and the I Ching ( referred to in the novel ) . The novel features a `` novel within the novel '' comprising an alternate history within this alternate history wherein the Allies defeat the Axis ( though in a manner distinct from the actual historical outcome ) .

neg: The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner (film) The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner is a 1962 film based on the short story of the same name .  The screenplay , like the story , was written by Alan Sillitoe . The film was directed by Tony Richardson , one of the new young directors emerging from documentary films , a series of 1950s filmmakers known as the Free Cinema movement .   It tells the story of a rebellious youth ( played by Tom Courtenay ) , sentenced to a borstal ( ` Approved School ' ) for burgling a bakery , who gains privileges in the institution through his prowess as a long-distance runner . During his solitary runs reveries of important events before his incarceration lead him to re-evaluate his status as the Governor 's ( played by Michael Redgrave ) prize athlete , eventually prizing a rebellious act of personal autonomy notwithstanding an immediate loss in privileges . The film poster 's byline is `` you can play by the rules ... or you can play it by ear - WHAT COUNTS is you play it right by YOU ... '' . . The notion is echoed by other contemporary films such as a rapid series of three contemporary Lone Ranger films .   Depicting a bleak , elitist Britain in the late 1950s to early 1960s for the working to middle class , the writer was one of the angry young men producing media vaunting or depicting the plight of rebellious youths . The film has characters entrenched in their social context . Class consciousness abounds throughout : the `` them '' and `` us '' notions which Richardson stresses reflect the very basis of British society at the time , so that Redgrave 's `` proper gentleman '' of a Governor is in contrast to many of the young working class inmates .   Much of the screenplay takes place in and around Ruxley Towers , Claygate , Surrey -- a Victorian mock castle built by Lord Foley ( ` Ruxton Towers ' ) .

neg: Tulliallan Castle Tulliallan Castle is a large house in Kincardine , Fife , Scotland .   It is the second structure to have the name , and is a mixture of Gothic and Italian style architecture set amid some 90 acre of parkland just north of where the Kincardine Bridge spans the Firth of Forth . It is the home of the Scottish Police College and has been since 1954 . On 1 April 2013 , Tulliallan Castle became the headquarters of Police Scotland ( the newly created national police service for Scotland ) , but as of 2014 the service 's headquarters are temporarily relocated to nearby Alloa .   It was built in 1812-1820 for George Keith Elphinstone , Admiral Lord Keith one time senior officer of Lord Nelson , from money received from prize ships , by a labour force said to include French prisoners of war . During the Second World War its history took on a further international dimension when it was used by the Polish Armed Forces in the West as their headquarters in Scotland .   Prior to the Second World War there was no central training for police officers in Scotland . After the war it was decided to centralise all police training and Tulliallan was the result .   Tulliallan , from the Gaelic Tulach-Aluin ( ` beautiful knoll ' ) was purchased in 1950 by the then Scottish Home Department for # 9,100 . The building was modernised and renovated and the first courses for inspectors and sergeants began in 1954 .   Over the years the site has been heavily modified to provide accommodation , catering , training and teaching facilities for the Scottish Police College .   The building is now used as the administrative head of the Scottish Police College and also provides the accommodation for the current Chief Constable of Police Scotland .   An earlier structure about a half mile Northwest , Old Tulliallan Castle , was built by 1304 , when it was ordered to be strengthened by Edward I of England , it then passed into the ownership of William Douglas , 1st Earl of Douglas , and was granted by the Douglases to the Edmonstones , and thence to a junior branch of the Blackadders , and finally to the Bruces of Carnock . A fortified house with a keep and rib-vaulted ground floor , it was abandoned in the seventeenth century .

neg: An Experiment in Criticism An Experiment in Criticism is a 1961 book by C. S. Lewis in which he proposes that the quality of books should be measured not by how they are written , but by how they are read . To do this , the author describes two kinds of readers . One is what he calls the `` unliterary '' , and the other the `` literary '' . He proceeds to outline some of the differences between these two types of readers . For example , one characterization of an unliterary reader is that the argument `` I 've read it before '' is a conclusive reason not to read a book . In contrast , literary readers reread books many times , savoring certain passages , and attempting to glean more from subsequent readings .   Lewis also argued that judging books by whether they are `` lowbrow '' or `` highbrow '' is not necessarily fruitful ; many `` lowbrow '' books prove to be valuable to a literary reader willing to approach without prejudgment . He noted that books classified as `` lowbrow '' , such as science fiction , are also capable of inducing a passion to re-read and imparting experience which changes reader 's worldview . Lewis suggests that books which are capable of doing this may prove to have enduring merit regardless of their genre of origin . He suggested that attempting to judge the literary merit of books based on traditional criteria may not prove fruitful .   Thus , Lewis suggests that a quality book is one that someone , anyone will re-read . A highbrow view that such a book is poor quality has failed to appreciate whatever qualities merit re-reading by someone .

neg: Castle of the Living Dead Castle of the Living Dead ( Il castello dei morti vivi ) is a 1964 Italian-French horror film directed by Warren Kiefer .

Other production mysteries include the crew where Michael Reeves had been stated as the directing either all or parts of the film and whether or not Mario Bava had created special effects work on the picture .

neg: Dumas House Dumas House is a fourteen storey office building constructed in Perth , Western Australia during the 1960s . The building is located close to St Georges Terrace , Kings Park , and Parliament House .   Dumas House was part of the 1955 plan to centralise all WA Government departments near Parliament House , based on the Stephenson-Hepburn Report . Several such plans had been proposed since the late 1920s , but post-World War II State finances and resources were unable to support the proposals . Public Works Department architects G. Finn , E. Van Mens and P. Maidment won a national competition to design the five office buildings that would house the departments . Dumas House was completed in 1965 , and was the only building constructed on the site out of the five planned .   Originally called ` Government Building ' , Dumas House was opened by Premier David Brand on 4 March 1966 . Brand 's speech at the opening focused on the building 's importance to the State :  It is a big building , and I think a handsome one . But this is not the important point at today 's ceremony . As I see it , this building is important not only because it provides essential office accommodation of a good standard essential for workers but because it is a symbol of a great era of progress for Western Australia . It is one of the signs of the beginning of a new age of development - aided by science , aided by an unprecedented inflow of capital funds , aided by great enthusiasm for the harnessing of our enormous resources and spurred on by the enterprise of thousands of people , partnerships , groups and companies from one end of the State to the other . I  believe history will look back on the ` sixties as one of the landmarks in the story of our State .   In 1968 , the State government scrapped its plans for five office buildings on the site for two reasons : increased traffic caused by the first building was such that the traffic for five buildings would have been unbearable , and politicians believed that five buildings on such a prominent site would give the appearance of ` dominance by the bureaucracy - a `` big brother '' complex . '   The building was named ` Dumas House ' in February 1978 , in honour of Sir Russell Dumas , who was the Director of Works and Buildings for the Public Works Department between 1941 and 1953 .   Dumas House is an example of the Post-War International style of architecture , with a modular grid building plan , glazed panelling and an open piazza . The International style was adapted for Australian conditions by adding horizontal slabs that project from the sides of the building and provide shade . The building 's construction , including fittings , cost $ 4,900,000 .   The building is owned by the Department of Housing and Works of the Government of Western Australia .   In 1985 , consideration was given to the presence of asbestos in the construction of the building . Extensive refurbishment of the building 's interior was undertaken in 2012 , and façade restoration works in 2015-2016 .   The Perth weather radar used to be housed on its roof .

neg: Count Jim Moriarty Count Jim Moriarty ( also called Count Jim Moriarty of the House of Roland ) is a character from the 1950s BBC Radio comedy The Goon Show . He was voiced by Spike Milligan . In the episode `` The Macreekie Rising of ' 74 '' , Harry Secombe filled-in for the role in Milligan 's absence .   Moriarty is an impoverished member of the French aristocracy who has turned to crime to support his lifestyle . Despite having carried out many high-paying cons and robberies during the series , he and his criminal counterpart Hercules Grytpype-Thynne always appear to be permanently destitute . With his thick faux-French accent , he is often found scavenging in dustbins looking for food and uttering nonsensical , half-French curses such as `` Sapristi nabolas ! '' , `` Sapristi nyuckoes ! '' , or `` Sapristi bombpetts ! '' ( incorporating an old-fashioned French expletive that meant originally `` by the body of Christ '' ) and `` Sacre Fred ! '' ( a Milligan coinage from Sacrebleu ) in the episode `` Lurgi Strikes Britain '' .   Moriarty travels closely with Grytpype-Thynne , often in the same suit or ( in `` The Jet Propelled Guided NAAFI '' ) by hiding in the lining of Grytpype 's underpants . In `` The Call of the West '' , Grytpype announces that Moriarty is traveling west by fish crate because of the devaluation of the franc .   Over the years , Moriarty changed from a suave , debonair and efficient French criminal mastermind and confidence trickster into a cringing sidekick of Grytpype-Thynne , who is often disparaging of his manic behaviour , referring to him as `` you steaming French nit '' , `` my fast disintegrating friend '' , or `` you crutty French schlapper '' . Grytpype often introduces him ( `` and I quote from his death certificate '' ) with a middle name such as `` Thighs '' , `` Knees '' , `` Kidney Wiper '' , etc. , along with an appropriate sound effect ( e.g. rattling bones , swannee whistle ) or Moriarty 's catch-phrase `` Oooowwwwww '' , and descriptions of his prowess in various fields ( `` who has played the male lead in over 50 postcards '' , `` Minister Without Underpants to the Principality of Monte Carlo '' , or `` champion barbed-wire hurdler until his tragic accident '' ) . On one occasion , he is introduced as `` Count ` Serge ' Moriarty '' ; when Seagoon enquires `` Serge ? '' , Grytpype replies , `` Only because he ca n't afford flannels '' . In `` The Missing Battleship '' , Grytpype introduces him enthusiastically as `` Count Jim ` Bilge ! ' Moriarty '' ; however , due to undisclosed problems this was unaccompanied by any sound effect , and was punctuated anti-climatically by an embarrassed `` Oww '' from Moriarty seconds afterward .   Although his surname is pronounced ( -LSB- ˌmɔriˈɑrti -RSB- ) , Grytpype-Thynne would pronounce it -LSB- məˈraɪ.əti -RSB- if he was in a bad way or if he thought Milligan was overacting his part .   There is also some suggestion that the character is a parody of the Sherlock Holmes villain , Professor Moriarty . In The Hound of the Baskervilles According to Spike Milligan , a preface by Milligan explains that Sherlock `` did not stay dead for long '' , and after chasing him up a mountain did in fact kill Professor Moriarty , but he `` later became a character in The Goon Show '' .

neg: An Englishman Abroad An Englishman Abroad is a 1983 BBC television drama film , based on the true story of a chance meeting of actress Coral Browne , with Guy Burgess ( Alan Bates ) , a member of the Cambridge spy ring who spied for the Soviet Union while an officer at MI6 . The production was written by Alan Bennett and directed by John Schlesinger ; Browne stars as herself .   The film is set is Moscow in 1958 , after Burgess had defected to the Soviet Union in 1951 with Donald Maclean when it became apparent that Maclean was about to be investigated by British intelligence . Burgess barges into Browne 's dressing room in the interval of a touring Shakespeare Memorial Theatre ( which became one of the bases of the Royal Shakespeare Company ) production of Hamlet , in which she portrayed Gertrude , and charms her . Later on she is invited to his Moscow flat , finding it with some difficulty , to measure him for a suit that he would like ordered from his London tailor .   Several plot changes were made from the true story told by Browne to Bennett . Burgess in fact threw up in the dressing room of Michael Redgrave , who asked for Browne 's help . Redgrave documented the incident in his biography . The play also contained scenes in Moscow 's British Embassy and in London shops where Browne encountered resistance to helping Burgess , none of which happened in reality .   Rather than film in the Soviet Union , Schlesinger used several locations in Scotland . The Caird Hall and Whitehall Theatre in Dundee stood in for the Moscow theatre , and the grand marble staircase of Glasgow City Chambers played the part of the British Embassy . Additional filming was done at Glasgow 's St. Andrew 's Suspension Bridge ( `` luckily , in a snowstorm '' Bennett later wrote ) and the Moss Heights flats in Cardonald , which represented Burgess ' Moscow apartment .   Both Browne and Bates were winners of the BAFTA awards for acting for their roles in this production .   Bennett gives the date of Browne 's meeting with Burgess as 1958 in the introduction to his Single Spies , which contains the text of An Englishman Abroad in the stage play version and the text of A Question of Attribution about Anthony Blunt .   The play was also adapted for radio on the BBC World Service in 1994 starring Michael Gambon as Burgess and Penelope Wilton as Coral Browne . It was subsequently re-broadcast on BBC Radio 7 and BBC Radio 4 Extra , most recently in 2013 as part of BBC Radio 4 Extra 's Cambridge Spies season .   On the BFI TV 100 , a list compiled in 2000 by the British Film Institute ( BFI ) , chosen by a poll of industry professionals , to determine what were the greatest British television programmes of any genre ever to have been screened , An Englishman Abroad was listed at no. 30 on the list .

neg: Caernarfon Castle Caernarfon Castle ( Castell Caernarfon ) , often anglicized as Carnarvon Castle , is a medieval fortress in Caernarfon , Gwynedd , north-west Wales cared for by Cadw , the Welsh Government 's historic environment service . There was a motte-and-bailey castle in the town of Caernarfon from the late 11th century until 1283 when King Edward I of England began replacing it with the current stone structure . The Edwardian town and castle acted as the administrative centre of north Wales and as a result the defences were built on a grand scale . There was a deliberate link with Caernarfon 's Roman past and the Roman fort of Segontium is nearby .   While the castle was under construction , town walls were built around Caernarfon . The work cost between # 20,000 and # 25,000 from the start until the end of work in 1330 . Despite Caernarfon Castle 's external appearance of being mostly complete , the interior buildings no longer survive and many of the building plans were never finished . The town and castle were sacked in 1294 when Madog ap Llywelyn led a rebellion against the English . Caernarfon was recaptured the following year . During the Glyndŵr Rising of 1400 -- 1415 , the castle was besieged . When the Tudor dynasty ascended to the English throne in 1485 , tensions between the Welsh and English began to diminish and castles were considered less important . As a result , Caernarfon Castle was allowed to fall into a state of disrepair . Despite its dilapidated condition , during the English Civil War Caernarfon Castle was held by Royalists , and was besieged three times by Parliamentarian forces . This was the last time the castle was used in war . Caernarfon Castle was neglected until the 19th century when the state funded repairs . In 1911 , Caernarfon Castle was used for the investiture of the Prince of Wales , and again in 1969 . It is part of the World Heritage Site `` Castles and Town Walls of King Edward in Gwynedd '' .

neg: Sciantosa In Italian theatrical culture , the term sciantosa ( pl. : `` sciantose '' ) refers to a stock character that developed from the late 19th Century through the early 20th Century in such popular genres such as café-concert , variety show , avanspettacolo , and revue . The term is a distortion of the French word chanteuse ( feminine form of `` singer '' ) , and was originally used for female singers that performed opera or operetta arias in café-chantant venues . As such , the `` sciantosa '' was a sort of scaled-down version of the opera `` diva '' . Later on , the term acquired further implications , most notably that of femme fatale . Popular sciantose often had ( or pretended to have ) mysterious and exotic traits , such as a foreign accent , a turbulent past , or romantic affairs with lovers from the jet set . To emphasize their reputation of divas , prominent sciantose hired a claque to follow their shows .   Some of the most well known sciantose were Anna Fougez , Gilda Mignonette , Olimpia D'Avigny , and Yvonne De Fleuriel .   With the advent of cinema and television , many forms of popular theatrical shows faded , and so did the `` sciantosa '' archetype , whose traits were partially transferred to new roles such as the soubrette or the showgirl .   The 1971 film La Sciantosa , by director Alfredo Giannetti , portrays a typical sciantosa ( played by Anna Magnani ) .
