neg: Black Metal (Venom album) Black Metal is the second album by English heavy metal band Venom . It was released in November 1982 , during the great flourishing of metal music in the UK that was the new wave of British heavy metal , and is considered a major influence on the thrash metal , death metal and black metal scenes that emerged in the 1980s and early 1990s .   Although lending its name to the latter subgenre of heavy metal , today it is still debated if the album 's music is thrash metal or black metal . AllMusic has described it as `` extreme metal '' , while Moynihan & Søderlind in their book affirm that the album `` carved in stone some of -LSB- black metal 's -RSB- essential features '' . Nevertheless , its lyrics and imagery were a major influence on the early Norwegian black metal scene .   The cover art was made by the band 's bassist and singer Conrad `` Cronos '' Lant .

neg: Disasterpiece Theatre Disasterpiece Theatre was a comedy television program that aired in the early 1980s on XETV , a station in Tijuana , Mexico owned by Mexican media company Grupo Televisa which broadcasts in English across the border to neighboring San Diego , California . The show 's title is both a play on the long-running PBS anthology program Masterpiece Theatre and a reference to the low-budget , campy science fiction and horror films that were lampooned each week . At the time of Disasterpiece Theatre '' 's run , XETV was an independent station ; today it serves as the San Diego affiliate of The CW network .   The premise of the show was simple : show the worst movies ever made and make fun of them . Among the films shown were Shriek of the Mutilated , Monster on Campus , The Thing That Could n't Die , The Mummy 's Hand , Born to Speed , Big Boy Rides Again , First Spaceship on Venus and Curse of the Undead . Comments would be written as subtitles during the movie ; for example , in Track of the Moonbeast a character says , `` I 'm somewhat of an ... ( laughs ) an adventurer , '' and the word `` IDIOT '' appeared on screen during the pause in the middle of the sentence . Sometimes music would be added and , in some cases , redubbing by the writers would occur . On a showing of First Spaceship on Venus , the soundtrack was replaced by the writers ' voices arguing about which television show they are going to watch , similar to the overdubbing idea in What 's Up , Tiger Lily?Jay Curtis hosted the show as Sal U. Lloyd , a play on the word celluloid . Bruce Mueller played `` The Other Guy '' and would often dress up as The Mummy , A Lion Tamer , and the Network Producer . Curtis and Mueller wrote and produced the show . Fred Stern was a constant contributor and served as the show 's musical director . Stern chose popular music that was added to scenes for comic punctuation . As an example , during the film Beginning of the End , giant grasshoppers are attacking Chicago , scientists decide to use the grasshopper mating call to lure the creatures into Lake Michigan but instead of the mating call coming from a boat loudspeaker , the audience hears At the Hop by Danny and the Juniors and the monsters hop in and drown . San Diego radio announcer Gary Cocker appeared on the show many times . Guests included Whoopi Goldberg , Richard Simmons , and J. Michael Straczynski . The show was done so cheaply , the producers would tape over the same reels , thus erasing the previous episode . In the show , Curtis and Mueller 's microphone cords are easily visible , but it is the poor production quality that makes the show more humorous .   Sal U. Lloyd was portrayed as a big loser who hates his job . In one episode , he explains his position : `` I 'm sick of television ... I wan na be a rock and roll star . I wan na make some money . '' He is often seen receiving some kind of brain damage after showing a movie . Several times , Lloyd has a run-in with the network producer , George Mucas ( obviously a parody of George Lucas ) , who hates the show . In reality , Curtis had a strong rivalry with the actual network producer of XETV , who eventually cancelled the show .   The show became quite successful , generating a loyal following and beating Saturday Night Live in the ratings several times . However , the show was eventually cancelled due to creative control with the station . Although the show is not widely acclaimed , it is mentionable for inspiring a generation of cult television shows that used the same premise , such as Mystery Science Theater 3000 .   In 1991 , the Beetlejuice episode `` Moby Richard '' had Lydia staging a television dramatization of `` Moby Dick '' for the Neitherworld program `` Disasterpiece Theatre . ''   In 1993 , Animaniacs had an episode of the same title .   In 2009 , the creators of Disasterpiece Theatre '' created a YouTube Page posting archival footage of the show .

neg: Joe Kane Joe Kane is an American author of two books and is also a journalist who writes for numerous publications such as The New Yorker , National Geographic , and Esquire .

neg: Francis Moraes Francis Moraes ( born February 10 , 1964 , Santa Rosa , California ) , whose online pseudonym is Dr. H , is an American writer , author of three opiate-related non-fiction books and hundreds of articles .   Moraes trained as a research physicist and chemist and attained a PhD in physics . He became interested in the heroin subculture in Portland , Oregon -- the number two most vibrant heroin city in the United States , at that time ( according to DEA statistics ) . After that , he expanded his perspective , spending numerous years studying the heroin subcultures in New York City , Seattle , and the San Francisco Bay area . Francis Moraes has been a notable part of the harm reduction movement , particularly as it relates to heroin and other opioids . He writes from this perspective with the stated intent of neither demonizing nor glorifying opioids , aiming only to provide drug users , scholars , and other curious readers alike an objective perspective on the issue . His work is generally considered neutral in content and calm in tone , but he has his detractors who point out biases and inconsistency .   Moraes differs from other authors in stressing the comparatively minor effects of opioid use and the profound pain associated with opioid withdrawal . Heroin in particular , is commonly considered an extremely potent euphoric ; Moraes stresses that the euphoria of heroin is actually rather subtle and very often overwhelmed by the nausea that is also produced by the drug . Moraes also counters common descriptions of the withdrawal that opioid addicts experience when they stop using . Many authors compare opioid withdrawal to a bad flu ; Moraes counters this idea -- particularly in his later work where he stresses the importance of a dysfunctional endorphin system on the management of pain ( e.g. Little Book of Opium ) .   Currently , Francis Moraes continues to write for Heroin Helper and is in the process of publishing the second edition of Heroin User 's Handbook with his new company Frankly Curious Media . Most of his writing now centers on grammar , books , and philosophy and can be found at Frankly Curious . He generally uses the first name `` Frank '' for his non-drug related writing .

neg: Theatre of Cruelty (Discworld) `` Theatre of Cruelty '' is a short Discworld story by Terry Pratchett written in 1993 . The name derives from a concept of Antonin Artaud ( Theatre of Cruelty ) .   It was originally written for W. H. Smith Bookcase magazine and was then slightly modified and extended , being published again in the programme of the OryCon 15 convention , and then again in The Wizards of Odd , a compilation of fantasy short stories .   It has since been made available on the Internet along with dozens of translations by fans , with Pratchett having stated , `` I do n't want to see it distributed in print anywhere but do n't mind people downloading it for their own enjoyment . ''   The story involves both the Ankh-Morpork City Watch and a parallel of Punch and Judy .   A murder has been committed : a street entertainer , found apparently battered to death with a very small blunt object , on him bite marks from a very small crocodile . Investigating the incident in his typically direct manner , Carrot Ironfoundersson discovers the death was an accident , the man having choked on a swazzle . It emerges that the entertainer had invented a parallel , live-action version of Punch and Judy , using -- and abusing -- a troupe of gnomes as the live cast . Carrot asserts that such brutal theatre could never find favour in Ankh-Morpork : `` That 's not the way to do it '' .

neg: Crocodylus megarhinus `` Crocodylus '' megarhinus is an extinct species of crocodile from the Eocene of Egypt . A partial skull was found by British paleontologist Charles William Andrews in the Fayum Depression . Andrews named Crocodylus megarhinus in 1905 on the basis of the holotype skull . A complete skull was also uncovered from Egypt in 1907 but was not recognized as `` C. '' megarhinus until 1927 .   `` C. '' megarhinus shares many features with living crocodiles like the Nile crocodile ( C. niloticus ) , including a robust triangular skull that is shorter than most other crocodiles . Similarities are also seen in the teeth of the two species . Like living crocodiles , `` C. '' megarhinus has several constricted areas along the upper jaw that provide spaces for the teeth of the lower jaw when the mouth is closed . The proportions of `` C. '' megarhinus and C. niloticus are so similar that American paleontologist Charles C. Mook considered it `` very probable that C. megarhinus is a direct ancestor of C. niloticus . ''   A second Fayum crocodilian , `` Crocodylus '' articeps , was named alongside `` C. '' megarhinus . Andrews distinguished `` C. '' articeps from `` C. '' megarhinus on the basis of its narrower snout , which is more similar to the slender-snouted crocodile than the Nile crocodile . `` C. '' articeps has recently been synonymized with `` C. '' megarhinus , and may represent a less mature form in the species ' population .   Although it has traditionally been described as a species of Crocodylus , `` C. '' megarhinus has been placed outside the genus in many recent phylogenetic analyses . A new genus has not yet been erected for the species . `` C. '' megarhinus is usually found to be a basal crocodyline outside the genus but still more closely related to it than the false gharial or mekosuchines . Below is a cladogram modified from Puértolas et al. ( 2011 ) showing its phylogenetic placement among crocodiles :

neg: Darlingtonia californica Darlingtonia californica -LSB- dɑːrlɪŋˈtoʊniə_kælᵻˈfɔːrnᵻkə -RSB- , also called the California pitcher plant , cobra lily , or cobra plant , is a species of carnivorous plant , the sole member of the genus Darlingtonia in the family Sarraceniaceae . It is native to Northern California and Oregon , growing in bogs and seeps with cold running water . This plant is designated as uncommon due to its rarity in the field .   The name `` cobra lily '' stems from the resemblance of its tubular leaves to a rearing cobra , complete with a forked leaf - ranging from yellow to purplish-green - that resemble fangs or a serpent 's tongue .   The plant was discovered in 1841 by the botanist William D. Brackenridge at Mount Shasta . In 1853 it was described by John Torrey , who named the genus Darlingtonia after the Philadelphian botanist William Darlington ( 1782 -- 1863 ) .

neg: Coluber Coluber is a genus of thin-bodied , fast-moving , colubrid snakes commonly known as racers . They are widespread around the world and vary greatly in habitat and behaviour . In the past , Coluber was a catch-all genus which included almost all snake species known at the time . Even the cobra was once classified as Coluber naja .   As presented here , the genus is limited to its `` modern '' content of racers and whipsnakes . Still , some of these species ( namely the whipsnakes ) are increasingly separated as Dolichophis and others probably also do not really belong here .

neg: COBRA (consumer theory) COBRA ( consumer 's online brand related activities ) is a theoretical framework related to understanding consumer 's behavioural engagement with brands on social media .  COBRA in literature is defined as `` set of brand-related online activities on the part of the consumer that vary in the degree to which the consumer interacts with social media and engages in the consumption , contribution , and creation of media content . '' ( Schivinski , Christodoulides , & Dabrowski , 2016 , p. 66 )   Conceptually , the COBRAs concept draws from the work of Shao ( 2009 ) . The author explored boundaries , in which consumers engage with user-generated media . Shao ( 2009 ) suggested that people engage with such media in three ways : by consuming , by participating , and by producing brand-related media .   The concept was further investigated in a qualitative research conducted by Muntinga , Moorman , and Smit in 2011 . In their study , the researchers had analyzed data from 20 consumers and suggested three dimensions of analysis : consumption , contribution , and creation .   To validate the COBRAs framework , Schivinski , Christodoulides , and Dabrowski ( 2016 ) developed a survey instrument to measure the consumer 's engagement with brand-related social-media content , based on three dimensions ( i.e. , consumption , contribution , and creation ) established by Muntinga , Moorman , and Smit ( 2011 ) . Examples of the application of COBRAs follows :   Consumption : when consumers see a picture or watch a YouTube video displaying a specific brand e.g. , Harley Davidson or Coca-Cola . Doing so , consumers are consuming brand-related media ;   Contribution : when consumers engage with online brand-related media by commenting on a post or `` Liking '' a piece of content , they are moving from the stage of `` observer '' to a `` media contributor '' ;   Creation : when consumers decide to upload a picture of a brand or product on Facebook , they are creating brand-related content .

neg: Sshhh ... `` Sshhh ... '' is a science fiction short story by David Brin about humanity 's first contact with an alien race . It was first published in Amazing Stories in 1988 and appears in the Brin 's 1997 anthology Otherness .   The story opens with 2 Earth Survey vessels escorting Lentili starships to Earth . The Lentili are a race of tall , long-lived aliens who are far more technologically and philosophically advanced than humans , who have only recently ventured to the stars . While the Lentili are en route to Earth , Earth President Tridden makes a planetwide announcement . He reveals that an eminent psychologist has discovered that the Lentili , for all their power , lack a certain talent possessed by humans . This talent is apparently rare and almost unthinkable among galactic races . Tridden will not reveal exactly what this talent is , but describes it as `` something so mundane to us that few human beings ever bother even thinking about it past the age of ten ! '' This talent can wreak `` untold psychic harm '' among the Lentili and he asks the people of Earth to join him in making a `` great sacrifice . ''   Tridden asks the human race to remove all mention of this talent from literature and from daily life . But since lingering references and , indeed , copies of his broadcast will survive , the human race must also provide a good `` cover story '' to explain away this situation . Tridden announces that it will be recorded that he has gone insane . There is no talent and the chaos will be the result of Tridden 's insanity . Tridden , seeing that he is about to be removed from the air , puts his finger to his lips in one final gesture of secrecy .   The story is open-ended , leaving the reader to wonder whether Tridden pulled off a marvelous scheme to help humanity weather an ego crisis when faced with the superior Lentili , or whether humanity really does have a unique talent .

neg: Ultracity 6060 UltraCity 6060 was a six-part animated short series which was shown as part of MTV 's teen/adult-themed cartoon variety show Cartoon Sushi . Writers included Matt Harrigan , Mike DeSeve , Dave Hughes , Ben Gruber and Daria 's head writer Anne Bernstein . It consisted of anime scenes that were dubbed with humorously incorrect dialogue for comedic reasons .   Most of the anime used in this cult classic was taken from the OAV series Genocyber which is released by U.S. Manga Corps . Another U.S. Manga Corps title was used for another UltraCity episode starred Iria in a parody of her own anime Iria : Zeiram the Animation .   For the episode `` Planet Jackson '' , footage from ADV Films ' Mighty Space Miners was lampooned . The young boy in the film was made to be Michael Jackson and the rest of the cast as the Jackson family , Quincy Jones , Donny Osmond , Andrew Jackson and other people looking for handouts .   The only non-anime cartoon used in UltraCity was from Cartoon Network 's `` Cartoons That Never Made It '' produced by AmPnyc in early-1997 under the supervision of Amperio Lux . One of them was Fast Driver , an obvious Speed Racer parody poking fun at everything .   Other shorts featured two news reporters bemoaning the mainstream use of profanity in society ( the irony of course was that they swore very frequently ) , as well as a man named Hirogani , who was having problems trying to stop his severe flatulence around people ( taken from Genocyber ) . Another short was when they announced that their `` animation budget has been completely exhausted by excessive robot battles '' , which made them ban all lip-synching to save money ( a remake of a scene from the first Mobile Police Patlabor movie ) .

neg: Motion Picture Association of America film rating system The Motion Picture Association of America ( MPAA ) film rating system is used in the United States and its territories to rate a film 's suitability for certain audiences based on its content . The MPAA rating system is a voluntary scheme that is not enforced by law ; films can be exhibited without a rating , although many theaters refuse to exhibit non-rated or NC-17 rated films . Non-members of MPAA may also submit films for rating . Other media , such as television programs and video games , is rated by other entities such as the ESRB and the TV Parental Guidelines .   The MPAA rating system is one of various motion picture rating systems that are used to help parents decide what films are appropriate for their children . It is administered by the Classification & Ratings Administration ( CARA ) , an independent division of the MPAA .

neg: Unsimulated sex Unsimulated sex is the presentation in a film of sex scenes where the actors engage in an actual sex act , and are not just miming or simulating the actions . At one time in the United States such scenes were restricted by law and self-imposed industry standards such as the Motion Picture Production Code . Films showing explicit sexual activity were confined to privately distributed underground films , such as stag films or `` porn loops '' . Beginning in the late 1960s , most notably with Blue Movie by Andy Warhol , mainstream cinemas began pushing boundaries in terms of what was presented on screen . Although the vast majority of sexual situations depicted in mainstream cinema are simulated ( in early pornography , the main actors engaged in simulated sex , with inserts placed in the film ) , on rare occasions actors engage in real sex . The difference between these films and pornography is that , while such scenes might be considered erotic , the intent of these films is not solely pornographic .   Notable examples include two of the eight Bedside-films and the six Zodiac-films from the 1970s , all of which were produced in Denmark and had many pornographic sex scenes , but were nevertheless considered mainstream films ( they all had mainstream casts and crews , and premiered in mainstream cinemas ) . The last of these films , Agent 69 Jensen i Skyttens tegn , was made in 1978 . From the end of the 1970s until the late 1990s it was rare to see hardcore scenes in mainstream cinema , but this changed with the success of Lars von Trier 's The Idiots ( 1998 ) , which heralded a wave of art-house films with explicit content , such as Romance ( 1999 ) , Baise-moi ( 2000 ) , Intimacy ( 2001 ) , Vincent Gallo 's The Brown Bunny ( 2003 ) , and Michael Winterbottom 's 9 Songs ( 2004 ) . Some simulated sex scenes are sufficiently realistic that critics mistakenly believe that they are real , such as the cunnilingus scene in the 2006 film Red Road .

neg: Procedural drama A procedural drama is a genre of television programming which focuses on how crimes are solved or some other aspect of a law enforcement agency , legislative body , or court of law . Some dramas include a lab or conference room with high-tech or state-of-the-art equipment where the main characters meet to work out the problem . Shows usually have an episodic format that does not require the viewer to have seen previous episodes . Episodes typically have a self-contained , also referred to as stand-alone , plot that is introduced and resolved within the same episode .   The procedural format is popular around the world . In 2011 , the director of a TV consultancy said , `` The continuing trend is for procedurals because they use a predictable structure . '' Due to their stand-alone episodic nature , they are more accessible to new viewers than serials . Self-contained episodes also make it easier for viewers to return to a show if they have missed some episodes . In general , procedural dramas can usually be re-run with little concern for episode order .   Procedurals are often criticized for being formulaic . Procedurals are also generally less character-driven than serialized shows . However , some procedurals have more character emphasis than is typical of the format . Some may occasionally feature a storyline stretching over several episodes .   A popular variant is the police procedural .
