pos: Ken Russell Henry Kenneth Alfred `` Ken '' Russell ( 3 July 1927 -- 27 November 2011 ) was an English film director , known for his pioneering work in television and film and for his flamboyant and controversial style . Critics have accused him of being obsessed with sexuality and the Roman Catholic Church . His films in the main were liberal adaptations of existing texts , or biographies , notably of composers of the Romantic era . Russell began directing for the BBC , where he made creative adaptations of composers ' lives which were unusual for the time . He also directed many feature films independently and for studios .   He is best known for his Oscar-winning films Women in Love ( 1969 ) , The Devils ( 1971 ) , The Who 's Tommy ( 1975 ) , and the science fiction film Altered States ( 1980 ) . Russell also directed several films based on the lives of classical music composers , such as Elgar , Delius , Tchaikovsky , Mahler , and Liszt .   Film critic Mark Kermode , speaking in 2006 , and attempting to sum up the director 's achievement , called Russell , `` somebody who proved that British cinema did n't have to be about kitchen-sink realism -- it could be every bit as flamboyant as Fellini . Later in his life he turned to making low-budget experimental films such as Lion 's Mouth and Revenge of the Elephant Man , and they are as edgy and ` out there ' as ever '' .   Ken Russell died of natural causes on 27 November 2011 at the age of 84 .

neg: Getting in Tune `` Getting in Tune '' is a song written by Pete Townshend and originally released by the Who on their 1971 album Who 's Next . It was originally written as part of Townshend 's abandoned Lifehouse project .

neg: Plastic Man (song) `` Plastic Man '' is a song written by Ray Davies and recorded by The Kinks in 1969 .   The song is in a similar style to earlier tracks such as `` Dedicated Follower of Fashion '' . It was written and recorded specifically as an attempt at a hit single , released only days after being recorded . The previous year had been commercially disastrous for The Kinks . Their two singles had failed to reach the top 10 in the UK and failed to chart at all in the US . The album The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society had also failed to chart in both the UK and US .   The plan for a hit backfired when the use of the word ` bum ' ( in the line '' ... plastic legs that reach up to his plastic bum '' ) meant that the BBC refused to play the song . The single only managed to reach # 31 in the UK and the following two Kinks singles failed to chart altogether .   The single was not released in the US and , although B-side `` King Kong '' was included on the Kink Kronikles compilation in 1972 , `` Plastic Man '' was left off , only being released in the US on The Great Lost Kinks Album in 1973 .   Both sides of the single ( as well as a stereo version of the A-side ) are included as bonus tracks on the CD reissue of Arthur ( Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire ) . In 2004 , the B-side appeared on the 3-disc Deluxe Edition of The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society , while in 2011 , both the mono and stereo mixes of the A-side appeared on the Deluxe Edition of Arthur .   Both sides of the single were the final songs to be recorded with founding bassist Pete Quaife and therefore is the last recorded single with the original Kinks line-up , although many Quaife-era Kinks songs have been released since his departure . Shortly after the release of the single , Quaife quit the group and was replaced with John Dalton , who substituted for Quaife from June-October 1966 when Quaife was injured in a car accident . Quaife stated in 1998 that `` Plastic Man '' was his least favorite song that he recorded with The Kinks .

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

Running for 54 years , As the World Turns holds the second-longest continuous run of any daytime network soap opera on American television , surpassed only by Guiding Light . As the World Turns was produced for the first 43 years in Manhattan and in Brooklyn from 2000 until 2010 .   Set in the fictional town of Oakdale , Illinois , the show debuted on April 2 , 1956 , at 1:30 pm EST. . Prior to that date , all serials had been 15 minutes in length . As the World Turns and The Edge of Night , which premiered on the same day at 4:30 pm EST , were the first two to be 30 minutes in length from their premiere . At first , viewers did not respond to the new half-hour serial , but ratings picked up in its second year , eventually reaching the top spot in the daytime Nielsen ratings by fall 1958 .

The show switched to color on August 21 , 1967 , and expanded from a half-hour in length to one hour starting on December 1 , 1975 , when The Edge of Night moved to ABC . In the year-to-date ratings , As the World Turns was the most-watched daytime drama from 1958 until 1978 , with ten million viewers tuning in each day .

neg: Dialectic Dialectic or dialectics ( διαλεκτική , dialektikḗ ) , also known as the dialectical method , is a discourse between two or more people holding different points of view about a subject but wishing to establish the truth through reasoned arguments .   The term dialectic is not synonymous with the term debate . While in theory debaters are not necessarily emotionally invested in their point of view , in practice debaters frequently display an emotional commitment that may cloud rational judgment . Debates are won through a combination of persuading the opponent , proving one 's argument correct , and proving the opponent 's argument incorrect . Debates do not necessarily require promptly identifying a clear winner or loser ; however , clear winners are frequently determined by a judge , a jury or group consensus . The term dialectics is also not synonymous with the term rhetoric , a method or art of discourse that seeks to persuade , inform , or motivate an audience . Concepts , like `` logos '' or rational appeal , `` pathos '' or emotional appeal , and `` ethos '' or ethical appeal , are intentionally used by rhetoricians to persuade an audience .   Socrates favoured truth as the highest value , proposing that it could be discovered through reason and logic in discussion : ergo , dialectic . Socrates valued rationality ( appealing to logic , not emotion ) as the proper means for persuasion , the discovery of truth , and the determinant for one 's actions . To Socrates , truth , not aretē ( moral virtue ) , was the greater good , and each person should , above all else , seek truth to guide one 's life . Therefore , Socrates opposed the Sophists and their teaching of rhetoric as art and as emotional oratory requiring neither logic nor proof . Different forms of dialectical reasoning have emerged throughout history from the Indosphere ( Greater India ) and the West ( Europe ) . These forms include the Socratic method , Hindu , Buddhist , Medieval , Hegelian dialectics , Marxist , Talmudic , and Neo-orthodoxy .

neg: About Time (play) About Time is a theatrical play written by playwright Tom Cole that debuted in 1990 Off Broadway at the John Houseman Theater . This two-character play featured an elderly couple , identified only as Old Man and Old Woman , chatting and arguing about matters around the subject of death . Directed by Tony Giordano , the play original production starred James Whitmore and Audra Lindley , described in a Mel Gussow review as an `` endearing couple '' who `` act their way through and around the slight play that Tom Cole has created for them '' . Lindley and Whitmore had been married to each other and divorced in 1979 , yet continued to perform with each other on stage .   The play presents four short scenes , titled `` Breakfast '' , `` Lunch '' , `` Supper '' and `` Late Snack '' , with the play traditionally having an intermission between the second and third sets . Almost of the play revolves around food and meals , its preparation and consumption , set in the kitchen of their condo . The set , designed by Kent Dorsey , included a fully functional kitchen . The Old Woman laments how her advancing age has increased the amount of time she requires to prepare meals for Old Man 's demanding appetite , including his favorite dish of chopped vegetables with sour cream , while her need for food has only diminished .   The couple talks about their past , providing some limited insights into the characters , with the Old Man describing how he operated a successful business but regrets not doing more to have helped the needy , though the play provides little about Old Woman and her past or the steps that led her to taking a subservient role in their marriage to her husband . The second-most discussed issue behind food is sex , with Gussow describing in his review how Old Woman believes `` that nymphomania may be her mania of choice '' .   Gussow credited the director and cast for performing beyond the play 's flaws , noting how Whitmore was able to play a `` foxy pretender '' even with his face hidden behind a newspaper , while Lindley combined humor and sweetness in her performance .   The play had been produced at the George Street Playhouse in New Brunswick , New Jersey in February 1990 under the title The Eighties , directed by Gregory S. Hurst with the same cast as Off-Broadway . An earlier version was produced in March 1983 at the Milwaukee Repertory Theater in Milwaukee , Wisconsin under The Eighties , or Last Love , with Megan Hunt and Emmettt O'Sullivan Moore in the two roles .

neg: Surrender of Japan The surrender of Imperial Japan was announced on August 15 and formally signed on September 2 , 1945 , bringing the hostilities of World War II to a close . By the end of July 1945 , the Imperial Japanese Navy ( IJN ) was incapable of conducting major operations and an Allied invasion of Japan was imminent . Together with the British Empire and China , the United States called for the unconditional surrender of the Japanese armed forces in the Potsdam Declaration on July 26 , 1945 -- the alternative being `` prompt and utter destruction '' . While publicly stating their intent to fight on to the bitter end , Japan 's leaders ( the Supreme Council for the Direction of the War , also known as the `` Big Six '' ) were privately making entreaties to the still-neutral Soviet Union to mediate peace on terms more favorable to the Japanese . Meanwhile , the Soviets were preparing to attack Japanese forces in Manchuria and Korea ( in addition to South Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands ) in fulfillment of promises they had secretly made to the United States and the United Kingdom at the Tehran and Yalta Conferences .   On August 6 , 1945 , at 8:15 AM local time , the United States detonated an atomic bomb over the Japanese city of Hiroshima . Sixteen hours later , American President Harry S. Truman called again for Japan 's surrender , warning them to `` expect a rain of ruin from the air , the like of which has never been seen on this earth . '' Late in the evening of August 8 , 1945 , in accordance with the Yalta agreements , but in violation of the Soviet -- Japanese Neutrality Pact , the Soviet Union declared war on Japan , and soon after midnight on August 9 , 1945 , the Soviet Union invaded the Imperial Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo . Later in the day , the United States dropped a second atomic bomb , this time on the Japanese city of Nagasaki . Following these events , Emperor Hirohito intervened and ordered the Supreme Council for the Direction of the War to accept the terms the Allies had set down in the Potsdam Declaration for ending the war . After several more days of behind-the-scenes negotiations and a failed coup d'état , Emperor Hirohito gave a recorded radio address across the Empire on August 15 . In the radio address , called the , he announced the surrender of Japan to the Allies .   On August 28 , the occupation of Japan by the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers began . The surrender ceremony was held on September 2 , aboard the United States Navy battleship , at which officials from the Japanese government signed the Japanese Instrument of Surrender , thereby ending the hostilities . Allied civilians and military personnel alike celebrated V-J Day , the end of the war ; however , some isolated soldiers and personnel from Imperial Japan 's far-flung forces throughout Asia and the Pacific islands refused to surrender for months and years afterwards , some even refusing into the 1970s . The role of the atomic bombings in Japan 's unconditional surrender , and the ethics of the two attacks , is still debated . The state of war formally ended when the Treaty of San Francisco came into force on April 28 , 1952 . Four more years passed before Japan and the Soviet Union signed the Soviet -- Japanese Joint Declaration of 1956 , which formally brought an end to their state of war .

neg: Loose Change Loose Change is a series of films released between 2005 and 2009 that argue in favor of certain conspiracy theories relating to the September 11th attacks . The films were written and directed by Dylan Avery and produced by Korey Rowe , Jason Bermas , and Matthew Brown .   The original 2005 film was edited and re-released as Loose Change : 2nd Edition ( 2006 ) , and then subsequently edited a third time for the 2nd Edition Recut ( 2007 ) . Loose Change : Final Cut , deemed `` the third and final release of this documentary series '' was released on DVD and Web-streaming format on November 11 , 2007 .   Another version of the film , Loose Change 9/11 : An American Coup , released on September 22 , 2009 , is narrated by Daniel Sunjata and distributed by Microcinema International .   Coverage of the film increased in 2006 with the recut release having airings on U.S. and European television stations and over 4 million views online in four months , leading Vanity Fair to say it could be the first internet blockbuster . Loose Change asserts that the usual account of the Pentagon attack , World Trade Center collapse and United 93 phone calls and crash is implausible and instead suggests the 9/11 attacks were a false flag operation . The film 's main claims have been debunked by journalists , independent researchers , and prominent members of the scientific and engineering community .

neg: Part-talkie A part-talkie is a partly , and most often primarily , silent film which includes one or more synchronous sound sequences with audible dialog or singing . During the silent portions lines of dialog are presented as `` titles '' -- printed text briefly filling the screen -- and the soundtrack is used only to supply musical accompaniment and sound effects .   In the case of feature films made in the United States , nearly all such hybrid films date to the 1927-1929 period of transition from `` silents '' to full-fledged `` talkies '' with audible dialog throughout . It took about a year and a half for a transition period for American movie houses to move from almost all silent to almost all equipped for sound . In the interim period , studios reacted by improvising four solutions : fast remakes of recent productions , `` goat gland '' pictures with one or two sound sequences spliced into already finished productions , dual sound and silent versions produced simultaneously , and part-talkies .   The famous so-called `` first talking picture '' , The Jazz Singer ( 1927 ) , starring Al Jolson , is in fact a part-talkie . It features only about fifteen minutes of singing and talking , interspersed throughout the film , while the rest is a typical silent film with `` titles '' and only a recorded orchestral accompaniment .

neg: Jewel Voice Broadcast The was the radio broadcast in which Japanese Emperor Hirohito ( Emperor Shōwa 昭和天皇 Shōwa-tennō ) read out the , announcing to the Japanese people that the Japanese Government had accepted the Potsdam Declaration demanding the unconditional surrender of the Japanese military at the end of World War II . This speech was broadcast at noon Japan Standard Time on August 15 , 1945 , after the Battle of Okinawa , the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki , and the Soviet invasion of Manchuria .   The speech was probably the first time that an Emperor of Japan had spoken ( albeit via a phonograph record ) to the common people . It was delivered in the formal , Classical Japanese that few ordinary people could easily understand . It made no direct reference to a surrender of Japan , instead stating that the government had been instructed to accept the terms of the Potsdam Declaration fully . This created confusion in the minds of many listeners who were not sure whether Japan had surrendered . The poor audio quality of the radio broadcast , as well as the formal courtly language in which the speech was composed , worsened the confusion . A digitally remastered version of the broadcast was released on 30 June 2015 .

neg: Lecture A lecture ( from the French ` lecture ' , meaning ` reading ' -LSB- process -RSB- ) is an oral presentation intended to present information or teach people about a particular subject , for example by a university or college teacher . Lectures are used to convey critical information , history , background , theories , and equations . A politician 's speech , a minister 's sermon , or even a businessman 's sales presentation may be similar in form to a lecture . Usually the lecturer will stand at the front of the room and recite information relevant to the lecture 's content .   Though lectures are much criticised as a teaching method , universities have not yet found practical alternative teaching methods for the large majority of their courses . Critics point out that lecturing is mainly a one-way method of communication that does not involve significant audience participation but relies upon passive learning . Therefore , lecturing is often contrasted to active learning . Lectures delivered by talented speakers can be highly stimulating ; at the very least , lectures have survived in academia as a quick , cheap , and efficient way of introducing large numbers of students to a particular field of study .   Lectures have a significant role outside the classroom , as well . Academic and scientific awards routinely include a lecture as part of the honor , and academic conferences often center on `` keynote addresses '' , i.e. , lectures . The public lecture has a long history in the sciences and in social movements . Union halls , for instance , historically have hosted numerous free and public lectures on a wide variety of matters . Similarly , churches , community centers , libraries , museums , and other organizations have hosted lectures in furtherance of their missions or their constituents ' interests . Lectures represent a continuation of oral tradition in contrast to textual communication in books and other media . Lectures may be considered a type of grey literature .

neg: Wide Wide World Wide Wide World was a 90-minute documentary series telecast live on NBC on Sunday afternoons at 4pm Eastern . Conceived by network head Pat Weaver and hosted by Dave Garroway , Wide Wide World was introduced on the Producers ' Showcase series on June 27 , 1955 . The premiere episode , featuring entertainment from the US , Canada and Mexico , was the first international North American telecast in the history of the medium .   It returned in the fall as a regular Sunday series , telecast from October 16 , 1955 to June 8 , 1958 . The program was sponsored by General Motors and Barry Wood was the executive producer . Nelson Case was the announcer . In March 1956 , Time magazine reported that it was the highest-rated daytime show on television .   Garroway was the host of the series which featured live remote segments from locations throughout North America and occasional reports on film from elsewhere in the world . The series carried live events into four million households . The October 16 premiere , `` A Sunday in Autumn , '' featured 50 cameras in 11 cities , including a college campus , the fishing fleet at Gloucester , Massachusetts , rainswept streets in Manhattan and Monitor broadcasting in NBC 's Radio Central studio . An appearance by Dick Button ice skating at Rockefeller Center was canceled because the rain had washed away the ice , and a curious coverage by a nervous Ted Husing of an attempt by Donald Campbell to break a speed record showed nothing more than his boat , on the other side of the lake , failing to take off . Time reviewed :   NBC 's Wide Wide World whisked its audience all over the map . The camera lazed its way down the Mississippi , poked into a New Jersey lane where lovers walked and old men raked autumn leaves , wandered around Gloucester harbor as fishermen mended nets . There were vivid contrasts between the chasm of the Grand Canyon and the topless towers of Rockefeller Center , the swaying wheat fields of Nebraska and the money-conscious hubbub of the Texas State Fair , an underwater ballet from Florida and the overwater speed trials of Donald Campbell 's jet racer at Arizona 's man-made Lake Mead . Always there was the immediacy of things happening this very minute , but the real brilliancy of Wide World may lie in its avoidance of the TV interview . The only one attempted , at the Texas Fair , proved again that -- given a microphone and someone to interview -- an announcer can turn any subject into a crashing bore . The words needed in Wide World were supplied by Dave Garroway and kept to a literate minimum .   Other episodes : `` New Orleans '' ( February 2 , 1958 ) , `` American Theater ' 58 '' ( March 16 , 1958 ) , `` Flagstop at Malta Bend '' ( March 30 , 1958 ) and `` The Museum of Modern Art '' ( April 27 , 1958 ) .

neg: Let's Talk About It Let 's Talk About It is the second album by R&B singer , Carl Thomas , released on March 23 , 2004 . Originally scheduled for a late 2003 release , the album was delayed several months due to Bad Boy Records entering into a new distribution deal with Universal Records . Let 's Talk About It was not a commercial success due to a couple factors . The first of which was Thomas ' extended time between albums . Also , the promotion of the album was cut short due to Thomas ' brother being gunned down several months after the album 's release . Despite three singles being released - `` She Is '' , `` Make It Alright '' and `` My First Love '' - the album was met with a lukewarm reception . It was one of many albums released on Bad Boy Records that underperformed under the Universal distribution deal . As a result , Carl Thomas left the label in 2005 , while Bad Boy left Universal for a distribution deal with Atlantic Records in the same year .

neg: 1952 Commonwealth Prime Ministers' Economic Conference The 1952 Commonwealth Prime Ministers ' Economic Conference was an emergency Meeting of the Heads of Government of the Commonwealth of Nations . It was called by the British government of Sir Winston Churchill and held in the United Kingdom in December 1952 as a follow-up to a Commonwealth Finance Minister 's conference held in January 1952 . The conference was held in the context of British economic and military decline and the United States ' surging role in the world .   The principal topic of the conference was the convertibility and liquidity of Pound sterling into American dollars and British concerns that non-sterling Commonwealth countries were building up sterling balances for the purpose of conversion into American dollars , the future of the Pound sterling area , and the alleviation of Commonwealth trade restrictions and imperial preference , particularly in the light of the surging American economy and the desire of Commonwealth countries such as Australia for American investment in order for economic development to occur against British concerns that American economic dominance threatened Britain 's economic position . This discussion was necessary as the Commonwealth , with the exception of Canada , had a common pool of gold and dollar reserves . Little was accomplished in the economic discussion with the final communique being described as an `` agreement in platitudes '' .   British concerns at being excluded from the ANZUS military treaty between Australia , New Zealand and the United States were also a topic and were addressed by a communique issued by the prime ministers supporting Britain 's demand for a voice in ANZUS .   In addition , Commonwealth prime ministers , after months of discussion on whether the newly ascended Queen Elizabeth II should have a uniform Royal Styles and Titles throughout the Commonwealth or whether realms should adopt their own styles and titles , it was agreed that each member of the Commonwealth `` should use for its own purposes a form of the Royal Style and Titles which suits its own particular circumstances but retains a substantial element which is common to all '' and agreed to pass appropriate legislation in their respective parliaments . The prime ministers also agreed to proclaim the new Queen , Elizabeth II , Head of the Commonwealth in succession of her late father , George VI .

neg: Americana (radio series) Americana was a British radio programme broadcast on BBC Radio 4 from spring 2009 to autumn 2011 . It offered a `` mix of discussion , interviews and features , with a focus on the voices of ordinary Americans '' and was touted as the `` successor for the late Alistair Cooke 's Letter from America . ''   Americana premiered 31 May 2009 with Matt Frei as presenter ; According to Frei , he expected listeners to Americana would hear `` what America is talking , arguing , fretting , laughing and , yes , dreaming about . We hope to surprise , entertain and inform . And by letting America itself do most of the talking we promise never to be dull . '' After Frei left the BBC in May 2011 , Jonny Dymond took over as presenter .   In July 2011 , BBC Radio 4 revealed that Radio 4 controller Gwyneth Williams , `` interest -LSB- ed -RSB- in wider internationalism and less emphasis on the US '' , decided to cancel Americana , effective in autumn . The show 's final episode was broadcast on 11 September 2011 ; the topic was the tenth anniversary of the September 11 attacks .

neg: Whole World Theatre The Whole World Theatre is an improvisational theatre located in Atlanta , Georgia .   Whole World Theatre ( WWT ) is a non-profit theatre company that began in Atlanta , Georgia in late 1993 , when David Webster began teaching a group of student actors whom he would train to become the hottest improv company in town . Jennifer Horne and David Webster were co-founding members .   The original students of Whole World Theatre performed their first show in front of 25 people in September 1994 . Specializing in experiential improv and unconventional scripted works , and using a unique approach to improv , which put more emphasis on acting , character and atmosphere than on cheap laughs , Webster wrote and directed original ground breaking pieces such as , Blood Bath Bingo and Pimps , Queens , and Dope Fiends . Webster also produced scripted works included , Balm in Gillead , Bitches , Women Behind Bars , Four Dogs and a Bone and The House of Yes , among many others .   In June 1995 , Jennifer Horne and David Webster spent their honeymoon money to open Whole World Theatre at their current location at 1214 Spring Street in mid-town Atlanta . As their popularity grew , the cast of Whole World Theatre were given the opportunity to produce their live improv comedy show for television when Webster sold the show to television . `` Whole World Comedy '' - Whole World 's premier TV show - helped to launch the southern based Turner South Network .   David Webster taught every actor at Whole World Theater until 2001 . He wrote , directed and emceed every show for over 1000 shows . He won several awards including an Emmy award for writing .   In 2003 Managing Director , Emily Reily Russell , created a youth summer camp program and an improvisational acting program for teens and young adults at Whole World Theatre that still exists to this day . Many of the graduates of this program have entered the `` Performance Ready Group '' that hosts a more family oriented show the first Saturday of every month November through May . The Performance Ready Group is directed and mentored by Assistant Artistic Director , Eric Goins . Russell , in conjunction with Callanwolde Fine Arts Center and The Starlight Starbright Foundation has also created `` Improv in Dialysis . '' Providing monthly improvisational acting workshops to patients and their families at Egleston Children 's Hospital in Atlanta .   Lance Krall , one of Webster 's original students , eventually moved to Hollywood and went on to produce his own television show , The Lance Krall Show , which aired Spike TV , and Free Radio , which aired on Vh1 . Lance has hired several alumni from Whole World Theatre to guest star in his projects .   In 2004 , Webster moved on to write and direct independent movies and Jennifer Horne moved on to begin her own improv troupe in Charlottesville , Va. . That same year , a complete change in management occurred at Whole World Theatre .   In 2004 , Chip Powell became Artistic Director of Whole World Theatre . The Company continues to perform improv shows and remains one of Atlanta 's most successful theater companies . Under Powell 's leadership the company has produced Improv in the Park : an annual free improv show in Atlanta 's Piedmont Park and Central Park at Atlantic Station . Improv in the Park was voted `` Best Outdoor Event '' by Creative Loafing . Powell also went on to launch Whole World 's 3rd Space Theatre by Producing and Directing scripted works such as Sordid Lives and Southern Baptist Sissies by Del Shores .   In 2005 , the theatre started a television show for a network called MAV TV and is currently broadcast in over 200,000 homes across the U.S. . The show features Whole World 's Improv Comedy and is geared towards a more mature audience .  Official Website   Category : Theatres in Atlanta

neg: Turn-taking Turn-taking is a type of organization in conversation and discourse where participants speak one at a time in alternating turns . In practice , it involves processes for constructing contributions , responding to previous comments , and transitioning to a different speaker , using a variety of linguistic and non-linguistic cues .   While the structure is generally universal , turn-taking conventions vary by culture and community . Conventions vary in many ways , such as how turns are distributed , how transitions are signaled , or how much overlapping is acceptable .   In many contexts , conversation turns are a valuable means to participate in social life and have been subject to competition . It is often thought that turn-taking strategies differ by gender ; consequently , turn-taking has been a topic of intense examination in gender studies . While early studies supported gendered stereotypes , such as men interrupting more than women and women talking more than men , recent research has found mixed evidence of gender-specific conversational strategies , and few overarching patterns have emerged .

neg: Rex Ballard Rex Ballard is a cinematographer with a career in movies , music videos and television programs . Ballard served for seven years as the Principal Cinematographer of ABC 's `` Extreme Makeover : Home Edition '' , and is currently the Director of Photography for the program .   With more than 30 years of experience in television entertainment , Ballard has traveled the world working on a variety of projects including documentaries for National Geographic Channel and The History Channel , and camera work for television programs such as `` Nanny 911 , '' `` Kid Nation , '' `` Matlock '' and `` The Merv Griffin Show . '' Ballard has also been behind the camera for music videos by artists including Tony Bennett , BB King , The Neville Brothers and The Pointer Sisters , and has developed commercials and features for most major national broadcast networks and many national brands .

In the early 1980s , Ballard also helped design , build and manufacture The Barber Baby Boom , a 100 % mechanical jib arm that was the first of its kind in the industry . Additionally , Ballard designed a movable jib base specifically to address the challenges of filming on construction locations for ABC 's `` Extreme Makeover : Home Edition . '' Engineered with special tires so the jib base can be moved from location to location and he later went on to develop a motorized version of the jib base to make set-up and movement even easier that has been used in recent seasons of the program .

neg: Art film An art film is typically a serious , independent film aimed at a niche market rather than a mass market audience . An art film is `` intended to be a serious artistic work , often experimental and not designed for mass appeal '' ; they are `` made primarily for aesthetic reasons rather than commercial profit '' , and they contain `` unconventional or highly symbolic content '' .   Film critics and film studies scholars typically define an art film as possessing `` formal qualities that mark them as different from mainstream Hollywood films '' , which can include , among other elements , a sense of social realism ; an emphasis on the authorial expressiveness of the director ; and a focus on the thoughts , dreams , or motivations of characters , as opposed to the unfolding of a clear , goal-driven story . Film scholar David Bordwell describes art cinema as `` a film genre , with its own distinct conventions '' .   Art film producers usually present their films at specialty theatres ( repertory cinemas , or , in the U.S. , `` arthouse cinemas '' ) and film festivals . The term art film is much more widely used in the United States , the UK and Australia than in Europe , where the term is more associated with `` auteur '' films and `` national cinema '' ( e.g. , German national cinema ) . Because they are aimed at small niche market audiences , they can rarely get the financial backing that will permit large production budgets , expensive special effects , costly celebrity actors , or huge advertising campaigns , as are used in widely released mainstream blockbuster films . Art film directors make up for these constraints by creating a different type of film , which typically uses lesser-known film actors ( or even amateur actors ) and modest sets to make films that focus much more on developing ideas or exploring new narrative techniques or film-making conventions .   A certain degree of experience and knowledge are required to fully understand or appreciate such films . One mid-1990s art film was called `` largely a cerebral experience '' that one enjoys `` because of what you know about film '' . This contrasts sharply with mainstream `` blockbuster '' films , which are geared more towards escapism and pure entertainment . For promotion , art films rely on the publicity generated from film critics ' reviews , discussion of their film by arts columnists , commentators and bloggers , and `` word-of-mouth '' promotion by audience members . Since art films have small initial investment costs , they only need to appeal to a small portion of the mainstream viewing audiences to become financially viable .

neg: B movie A B movie is a low-budget commercial movie , but one that is not an arthouse film . In its original usage , during the Golden Age of Hollywood , the term more precisely identified films intended for distribution as the less-publicized bottom half of a double feature . Although the U.S. production of movies intended as second features largely ceased by the end of the 1950s , the term B movie continues to be used in the broader sense it maintains today . In its post -- Golden Age usage , there is ambiguity on both sides of the definition : on the one hand , the primary interest of many inexpensive exploitation films is prurient ; on the other , many B movies display a high degree of craft and aesthetic ingenuity .   In either usage , most B movies represent a particular genre -- the Western was a Golden Age B movie staple , while low-budget science-fiction and horror films became more popular in the 1950s . Early B movies were often part of series in which the star repeatedly played the same character . Almost always shorter than the top-billed films they were paired with , many had running times of 70 minutes or less . The term connoted a general perception that B movies were inferior to the more handsomely budgeted headliners ; individual B films were often ignored by critics .   Latter-day B movies still sometimes inspire multiple sequels , but series are less common . As the average running time of top-of-the-line films increased , so did that of B pictures . In its current usage , the term has somewhat contradictory connotations : it may signal an opinion that a certain movie is ( a ) a genre film with minimal artistic ambitions or ( b ) a lively , energetic film uninhibited by the constraints imposed on more expensive projects and unburdened by the conventions of putatively `` serious '' independent film . The term is also now used loosely to refer to some higher-budgeted , mainstream films with exploitation-style content , usually in genres traditionally associated with the B movie .   From their beginnings to the present day , B movies have provided opportunities both for those coming up in the profession and others whose careers are waning . Celebrated filmmakers such as Anthony Mann and Jonathan Demme learned their craft in B movies . They are where actors such as John Wayne and Jack Nicholson first became established , and they have provided work for former A movie actors , such as Vincent Price and Karen Black . Some actors , such as Bela Lugosi , Eddie Constantine and Pam Grier , worked in B movies for most of their careers . The term B actor is sometimes used to refer to a performer who finds work primarily or exclusively in B pictures .

neg: Video server A video server is a computer-based device ( also called a `` host '' ) dedicated to delivering video .   Unlike personal computers , being multi-application devices , a video server is designed for one purpose ; provisioning video , often for broadcasters . A professional-grade video server performs recording , storage , and playout of multiple video streams without any degradation of the video signal . Broadcast quality video servers often store hundreds of hours of compressed audio and video ( in different codecs ) , play out multiple and synchronised simultaneous streams of video by , and offer quality interfaces such as SDI for digital video and XLR for balanced analog audio , AES/EBU digital audio and also Time Code . A genlock input is usually provided to provide a means of synchronizing with the house reference clock , thereby avoiding the need for timebase correction or frame synchronizers .   Video servers usually offer some type of control interface allowing them to be driven by broadcast automation systems that incorporate sophisticated broadcast programming applications . Popular protocols include VDCP and the 9-Pin Protocol .   They can optionally allow direct to disk recording using the same codec that is used in various post-production video editing software packages to prevent any wasted time in transcoding .

neg: POV (TV series) POV ( also written P.O.V. ) is a Public Broadcasting Service ( PBS ) public television series which features independent nonfiction films .

Many established directors , including Michael Moore , Jonathan Demme , Terry Zwigoff , Errol Morris , Albert and David Maysles , Michael Apted , Frederick Wiseman , Marlon Riggs , and Ross McElwee have had work screened as part of the POV series .   The series has garnered both critical and industry acclaim over its almost 30 years on television . POV films have won every major film and broadcasting award including 34 Emmys , 19 George Foster Peabody Awards , 12 Alfred I. duPont-Columbia Broadcast Journalism Awards , three Academy Awards , the first-ever George Polk Documentary Film Award and the Prix Italia .

neg: Hollywood blacklist The Hollywood blacklist -- as the broader entertainment industry blacklist is generally known -- was the practice of denying employment to screenwriters , actors , directors , musicians , and other American entertainment professionals during the mid-20th century because they were accused of having Communist ties or sympathies . Artists were barred from work on the basis of their alleged membership in or sympathy with the Communist Party USA or refusal to assist investigations into the party 's activities . Even during the period of its strictest enforcement , the late 1940s through the late 1950s , the blacklist was rarely made explicit or verifiable , but it directly damaged the careers of scores of individuals working in the film industry .   The first systematic Hollywood blacklist was instituted on November 25 , 1947 , the day after ten writers and directors were cited for contempt of Congress for refusing to testify to the House Un-American Activities Committee . A group of studio executives , acting under the aegis of the Association of Motion Picture Producers , fired the artists -- the so-called Hollywood Ten -- and made what has become known as the Waldorf Statement .   On June 22 , 1950 , a pamphlet entitled Red Channels was published . Focused on the field of broadcasting , it identified 151 entertainment industry professionals in the context of `` Red Fascists and their sympathizers . '' Soon , most of those named , along with a host of other artists , were barred from employment in most of the entertainment field .   The blacklist lasted until 1960 , when Dalton Trumbo , a Communist Party member from 1943 to 1948  and member of the Hollywood Ten , was credited as the screenwriter of the highly successful film Exodus , and later publicly acknowledged by actor Kirk Douglas for writing the screenplay for the movie Spartacus . A number of those blacklisted , however , were still barred from work in their professions for years afterward .

neg: Voice-over Voice-over ( also known as off-camera or off-stage commentary ) is a production technique where a voice -- that is not part of the narrative ( non-diegetic ) -- is used in a radio , television production , filmmaking , theatre , or other presentations . The voice-over is read from a script and may be spoken by someone who appears elsewhere in the production or by a specialist voice talent . It is usually pre-recorded and placed over the top of a film or video and commonly used in documentaries or news reports to explain information . Voiceover is used in video games and on-hold messages , as well as for announcements and information at events and tourist destinations . It may also be read live for events such as award presentations .

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: Roman Theatre of Orange The Roman Theatre of Orange ( French : Théâtre antique d'Orange ) is a Roman theatre in Orange , Vaucluse , France . It was built early in the 1st century AD . The structure is owned by the municipality of Orange and is the home of the summer opera festival , the Chorégies d'Orange .   It is one of the best preserved of all Roman theatres , and served the Roman colony of Arausio ( or , more specifically , Colonia Julia Firma Secundanorum Arausio : `` the Julian colony of Arausio established by the soldiers of the second legion '' ) which was founded in 40 BC . Playing a major role in the life of the citizens , who spent a large part of their free time there , the theatre was seen by the Roman authorities not only as a means of spreading Roman culture to the colonies , but also as a way of distracting them from all political activities .   Mime , pantomime , poetry readings and the `` attelana '' ( a kind of farce rather like the commedia dell ` arte ) was the dominant form of entertainment , much of which lasted all day . For the common people , who were fond of spectacular effects , magnificent stage sets became very important , as was the use of stage machinery . The entertainment offered was open to all and free of charge .   As the Western Roman Empire declined during the 4th century , by which time Christianity had become the official religion , the theatre was closed by official edict in AD 391 , since the Church opposed what it regarded as uncivilized spectacles . After that , the theatre was abandoned completely . It was probably pillaged by the Visigoths in 412 , and like most Roman buildings was certainly stripped of its better stone over the centuries for reuse . It was used as a defensive post in the Middle Ages . During the 16th-century religious wars , it became a refuge for the townspeople .
