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 .

neg: Flag and coat of arms of New Jersey The coat of arms of the state of New Jersey includes :  A shield with three plows , representative of New Jersey 's agricultural tradition .  A forward-facing helmet .  A horse 's head as the crest of the helmet .  The female figures Liberty and Ceres , representative of the state 's motto ( see next item ) . Liberty is holding a staff supporting a `` liberty cap '' ; Ceres is holding an overflowing cornucopia .  The streamer at the foot of the emblem contains the State Motto of New Jersey , `` Liberty and Prosperity '' , and the year of statehood , 1776 .   It was originally designed by Pierre Eugene du Simitiere in 1777 and was modified slightly in 1928 .   The seal is the central motif in the flag of New Jersey and the Great Seal of the State of New Jersey .   The coat of arms contains a horse 's head ; beneath that is a helmet , showing that New Jersey governs itself , and it has three plows on a shield to highlight the state 's agriculture tradition , which shows why the state has the nickname `` Garden State '' . The two Goddesses represent the state motto , `` Liberty and Prosperity '' . Liberty is on the left . She is holding a staff with a liberty cap on it , and the word liberty underneath her . The goddess on the right is Ceres , goddess of agriculture . She is holding a cornucopia with prosperity written below her .   According to the minutes of the New Jersey General Assembly for May 11 , 1896 , the date on which the Assembly officially approved the flag as the state emblem , the buff color is due indirectly to George Washington , who had ordered on September 14 , 1779 , that the uniform coats of the New Jersey Continental Line be dark ( Jersey ) blue , with buff facings . Buff-colored facings had until then been reserved only for his own uniform and those of other Continental generals and their aides . Then , on February 14 , 1780 the Continental War Officers in Philadelphia directed that the uniform coat facings of all regiments were to be the same as the background color of the regiments ' state flag .   The seal is described in New Jersey statute Title 52 , § 2-1 :   In 2015 a circular letter issued by the State of New Jersey Department of the Treasury addressed the issue of unapproved and incorrect versions of `` The Great Seal of the State of New Jersey '' .

neg: Florida Canal The Florida Canal or 40 Arpent Canal is a canal in the New Orleans metropolitan area and land down river .   The canal was built in the 18th century colonial era of Louisiana , stretching from what is now the Faubourg Marigny neighborhood of New Orleans , roughly paralleling the Mississippi River on the East Bank down through modern Saint Bernard Parish and part of the East Bank of Plaquemines . Colonial land grants commonly stretched 40 arpents back from the Mississippi River . The canal thus marked the back end of properties , mostly originally plantations . In this area this line happened to generally be about the limit of land useful for cultivation where the higher land of the natural river levee ended in swamp . The `` 40 Arpent Canal '' was used by small vessels for commerce between nearby plantations ; larger vessels and longer range shipping used the Mississippi . The earth moved to dig the canal was used to create a raised roadway on the river side of the canal , called the `` Florida Walk '' .   With development and the construction of additional perpendicular canals in the 19th and 20th century , the old 40 Arpent Canal was divided into several discontinuous canals . Florida Walk became Florida Avenue , although discontinued in some areas either by being developed over or being allowed to fall back into wilderness . In some places such as New Orleans the remaining pieces of the canal became known as the `` Florida Canal '' , while in parts of Saint Bernard and Plaquemines the old `` 40 Arpent Canal '' name is still used . No longer used for shipping , the canal is still used for drainage , and in places some small pleasure and fishing boats .   Down river from the Industrial Canal , the Florida Canal still marks the inland boundary of the Lower 9th Ward neighborhood of New Orleans and communities such as Arabi and Chalmette .   Levees and floodwalls constructed on the back side of the canal help protect settled areas from flooding . These levees in back of the canal were overtopped by storm surges during Hurricane Katrina in 2005 ; to do this the storm surge needed to first top the larger levees abutting the MR-GO and travel through the wetlands between MR-GO and the 40 Arpent Canal back levee . In December 2005 it was announced that in Saint Bernard Parish the 40 Arpent Canal back levee would be increased in height to help offer some temporary protection until more comprehensive work could be done on MR-GO .

neg: Manasquan River The Manasquan River is a 26.5 mi waterway in central New Jersey . It flows from central Monmouth County , beginning in Freehold Township , to the Atlantic Ocean , where it empties between the communities of Manasquan and Point Pleasant via the Manasquan Inlet . It widens greatly as it nears the ocean , making it ideal for boating , and is a very popular recreational area of the Jersey Shore . The Manasquan River and Inlet is the unofficial northernmost terminus of the Intracoastal Waterway .   The river is the center of a large watershed area that incorporates numerous streams as well as a large man-made pumped ( i.e. no direct flow from the river ) reservoir in Howell Township ; aptly named the Manasquan Reservoir . It also marks the traditional boundary between North Jersey and South Jersey ; it separates Monmouth and Ocean counties and marks the border between rich , fertile soil to the north and the sandier soil of the `` Pine Barrens '' to the south .   Situated in the middle of the river east of the New Jersey Route 70 highway bridge and adjacent to the former Point Pleasant Hospital site and Point Pleasant Canal entrance is a sizable island only accessible by boat that is a popular spot for picnics and recreation . The island includes a sandy beach area and even used to have an improvised swingset for youngsters which has been removed by the boro of Brielle , but is mainly covered with trees . The water surrounding the island is deep enough to accommodate boat traffic , and boaters normally beach their boats on the sand while they enjoy a day of relaxation on the island . Today its officially named Nienstedt Island , honoring the family who donated it to the borough . In the 19th century it was known as `` Osborn Island '' . In May 1888 , Robert Louis Stevenson spent about a month in Brielle along the Manasquan River . One day Stevenson visited Osborn Island and was so impressed he whimsically re-christened it `` Treasure Island '' after his famous novel Treasure Island ( 1883 ) and carved his initials into a bulkhead . This took place five years after he had completed the novel . To this day , many still refer to the island as such .   The navigable Manasquan River and its tributaries are crossed by three drawbridges , the Brielle Road Glimmer Glass Bridge , the Route 35 Manasquan River bridge , and the NJ Transit railroad bridge , and one fixed bridge -- the Route 70 September 11 Memorial Bridge .

Politically , it is divided between the boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens in New York City , with a small part touching Nassau County .   The bay contains numerous marshy islands . It was known as Grassy Bay as late as the 1940s . Jamaica Bay is located adjacent to the confluence of the New York Bight and New York Bay , and is at the turning point of the primarily east-west oriented coastline of southern New England and Long Island and the north-south oriented coastline of the mid-Atlantic coast . The name derives from the nearby town of Jamaica , which in turn derives from `` Yameco '' , a corruption of a word in the Lenape language spoken by the Native Americans who lived in the area at the time of first European contact . The `` y '' sound in English is spelled with a `` j '' in Dutch , the first Europeans to write about the area . This resulted in the eventual English pronunciation of `` Jamaica '' when read and repeated orally .

neg: Barnegat Bay Barnegat Bay is a small brackish arm of the Atlantic Ocean , approximately 42 miles ( 67.2 km ) long , along the coast of Ocean County , New Jersey in the United States . It is separated from the Atlantic by the long Barnegat Peninsula ( colloquially called a `` barrier island '' ) , as well as by the north end of Long Beach Island , popular segments of the Jersey Shore . The bay is fed by several small rivers , including the Toms River and Metedeconk River , which empty into the bay through small estuaries along its inner shore . The communities of Toms River , Silverton , and Forked River sit along the river estuaries on the bay .   The bay connects with the ocean through the Barnegat Inlet , along which sits the Barnegat Lighthouse . The bay is part of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway , entered on its north end by the Point Pleasant Canal and connecting on the south end with Little Egg Harbor via the small Manahawkin Bay . In a broader sense , Barnegat Bay is sometimes considered to stretch to the south end of Long Beach Island and to include Little Egg Harbor .   Three bridges span the bay from the mainland to the peninsula : the Mantoloking Bridge from Brick Township to Mantoloking , and the Thomas A. Mathis and J. Stanley Tunney Bridges from Toms River to Ortley Beach . The Barnegat Division of Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge comprises wetlands along the inner southern part of the bay . Along the outside of the bay , on the peninsula , is the Island Beach State Park . Various islands within the bay are a part of the National Wildlife Refuge or the Sedge Islands State Wildlife Management Area . The northern tip of Long Beach Island includes the Barnegat Lighthouse State Park .

neg: Florida Territory The Territory of Florida was an organized incorporated territory of the United States that existed from March 30 , 1822 , until March 3 , 1845 , when it was admitted to the Union as the State of Florida . Originally the Spanish territory of La Florida , and later the provinces of East and West Florida , it was ceded to the United States as part of the 1819 Adams-Onís Treaty . It was governed by the Florida Territorial Council .

neg: Visit Florida VISIT FLORIDA , the state 's official tourism marketing corporation , serves as Florida 's official source for travel planning to visitors across the globe . VISIT FLORIDA is not a government agency , but rather a not-for-profit corporation created as a public/private partnership by the Florida Legislature in 1996 .   On June 19 , 1996 , Governor Lawton Chiles signed a bill that dissolved Florida 's Department of Commerce and turned its tourism functions over to the Florida Commission on Tourism . The Florida Commission on Tourism is a private/public partnership , consisting of the Governor , one member from the Florida Senate and the Florida House of Representatives and representatives from the various sectors of the state 's tourism industry . In order to fulfill its mandate , the Florida Commission on Tourism created the Florida Tourism Industry Marketing Corporation ( FTIMC ) , which operates business as VISIT FLORIDA .

neg: Atlantic Northeast The Atlantic Northeast is a region of North America , which includes the US states of Connecticut , Massachusetts , Rhode Island , New Hampshire , Vermont , and Maine , as well as the Canadian Maritimes .   The Atlantic Northeast region is noted for its cultural unity , stark climate , landscape of dense forests , and a shared economic history in the exploitation of logging and the regional fishery . Further uniting this area is the `` Gray Zone '' which is an area of land and sea which is claimed by both Canada and the United States . It is located off the coasts of New Brunswick and Maine . The only land within this area are two islands , Machias Seal Island and North Rock . The `` Gray Zone '' is one of four areas between the two countries whose sovereignty is still in dispute , but is the only one of the disputed areas containing land . In 1979 , both countries filed a joint application to the International Court of Justice to avoid having the dispute settled when oceanic boundaries in the area were set for mineral and fishing rights . Canadians have had a continuous presence in the area since 1832 when a lighthouse was built .   Since the Atlantic Northeast is such a large region , it is home to many different types of wildlife , sports teams , and geographical locations . The Atlantic Northeast is home to the Boston Celtics , Boston Bruins , New England Patriots , Halifax Hurricanes , Boston Red Sox and many more . It also includes many notable species including the Bald Eagle , Atlantic Salmon , and the Swamp Pink . Lastly , the Atlantic Northeast includes many geographical places of interest including the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument and Salem , Massachusetts , home of the Salem Witch Trials .   Though cross-border connections are widely acknowledged , the area has rarely been given a single name . `` Atlantic Northeast '' is a term that has been used most prominently in discussions of regional folk culture , another name that is used is Atlantica . ''   These names are often tied to various proposals for greater economic or political integration of the region

neg: Julington Creek Plantation, Florida Julington Creek Plantation is an unincorporated community in the larger community of St. Johns , St. Johns County , Florida , United States . It consists of several large neighborhoods , and is located along Race Track Road east of State Road 13 , across from Fruit Cove ( which is also the name of a census-designated place that includes Julington Creek Plantation ) .   http://jaxcreblog.com/2015/05/23/first-coasts-wealthiest-zip-codes/   St. Johns County is the second-wealthiest county in Florida . Zip code 32259 ( Julington Creek , St. John 's , Fruitcove ) is considered the young Ponte Vedra because of its age demographics ranging from 30 to 50 and being second only to neighboring Ponte Vedra in having the highest per capita wealth in northeast Florida but having the highest per capita disposal income . With major super markets , pharmacies , top-ranked restaurants , golf courses , and numerous office parks , the Julington Creek area 's population continued to grow significantly in the 2010s .   Julington Creek Plantation is served by the highest ranked schools in Florida which , according to the Huffington Post , are among the `` Top Ten in the Country '' . http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/17/top-school-districts-with-affordable-housing_n_3293302.html   St. Johns County schools have received a state government grade of `` A '' for their work with the students and FCAT grading from 2004 to 2014 .

neg: Township (New Jersey) A township , in the context of New Jersey local government , refers to one of five types and one of eleven forms of municipal government . As a political entity , a township in New Jersey is a full-fledged municipality , on par with any town , city , borough , or village , collecting property taxes and providing services such as maintaining roads , garbage collection , water , sewer , schools , police and fire protection . The Township form of local government is used by 27 % of New Jersey municipalities ; however , slightly over 50 % of the state 's population resides within them .   Townships in New Jersey differ from townships elsewhere in the United States . In many states , townships can be an intermediate form of government , between county government and municipalities that are subordinate parts of the township , with different government responsibilities allocated at each level . In New Jersey , there are no subordinate municipalities located within a township , as a New Jersey township is a form of municipal government within a county , equal in status to a village , town , borough , or city , all of which may coexist within a county .   Municipalities in New Jersey may be classified into one of five types , of which townships are one . Townships may retain the township form of government , or adopt one of the modern forms of government , which are not restricted to a particular type of municipality . In New Jersey , a municipality 's name ( such as X Township ) is not necessarily an indication of its form of government .   In New Jersey , the township form of government consists of a three to five member township committee usually elected at-large in partisan elections . At its organization meeting , held after an election , the committee selects one of its elected members to serve as mayor and preside at meetings . The other members of the township committee serve as commissioners of various township departments , overseeing the work of those areas along with overall legislative issues . Some mayors in this form of government also oversee specific departments . The mayor in this form of government is primarily ceremonial and has the same power as other township committee members . The mayor does hold the powers vested in all mayors under state law . One township committee member is elected deputy mayor each year . Some towns with this form of government rotate the mayor 's office each year , while others elect the same mayor for 2-3 years in a row .   On road signs , township is often abbreviated TWP or Twp . Some official documents abbreviate it as `` Twsp . ''

neg: Snow in Florida It is very rare for snow to fall in the U.S. state of Florida , especially in the central and southern portions of the state . With the exception of the far northern areas of the state and the Jacksonville area , most of the major cities of Florida have never recorded measurable snowfall , have only recorded trace ( T ) amounts , or have only reported flurries in the air , usually just a few times each century . In the Florida Keys and Key West there is no known occurrence of snow flurries since the settlement of the region .   Due to Florida 's low latitude and subtropical climate , temperatures cold enough to support significant snowfall are infrequent and their duration is fleeting . In general , frost is more common than snow , requiring temperatures of 32 ° F ( 0 ° C ) or less at 2 m above sea level , a cloudless sky , and a relative humidity of 65 % or more . Generally , for snow to occur , the polar jet stream must move southward through Texas and into the Gulf of Mexico , with a stalled cold front across the southern portion of the state curving northeastward to combine freezing air into the frontal clouds . While light snowfall occurs a few times each decade across the northern panhandle , most of the state is too far south of the cold continental air masses responsible for generating snowfall in the rest of the country . The mean maximum monthly snowfall in most parts of Florida is zero . The only other areas in the continental United States with this distinction are extreme southern Texas and parts of coastal southern California .   Much of the known information on snow in Florida prior to 1900 is from climatological records provided by the National Weather Service meteorological station in Jacksonville , and information for other locations is sparse . The earliest recorded instance of snow in Florida occurred in 1774 ; being unaccustomed to snow , some Jacksonville residents called it `` extraordinary white rain . '' The first White Christmas in northeastern Florida 's history resulted from a snow event that occurred on December 23 , 1989 .

There are also smaller streams ( i.e. , branches , creeks , drains , forks , licks , runs , etc. ) in the state . Major rivers include the Manasquan , Maurice , Mullica , Passaic , Rahway , Raritan , Musconetcong , Hudson and Delaware rivers . Historically , the Delaware and Raritan rivers have provided transportation of goods and people inland from the Atlantic Ocean , and were once connected by the Delaware and Raritan Canal . Today , these rivers , and the streams that feed them , provide sport and recreation for many people .

neg: List of urbanized areas in Florida (by population) The United States Census Bureau defines an Urbanized Area to be `` one or more places ( ` central place ' ) and the adjacent densely settled surrounding territory ( ` urban fringe ' ) that together have a minimum of 50,000 persons . '' There are a number of rules specifying what is included in the urban fringe , but it `` generally consists of contiguous territory having a density of at least 1,000 persons per square mile '' . Urbanized Areas often form the cores of Metropolitan Statistical Areas , and as they comprise census tracts rather than local political subdivisions ( counties , in Florida ) , they are generally smaller than the corresponding Metropolitan Statistical Area . A Metropolitan Statistical Area may have more than one Urbanized Area within its boundaries , and an Urbanized Area may extend into more than one Metropolitan Statistical Area .   As of 2010 , the US Census Bureau has defined thirty Urbanized Areas in Florida .

neg: Bus rapid transit in New Jersey Bus rapid transit in New Jersey comprises limited-stop bus service , exclusive bus lanes ( XBL ) and bus bypass shoulders ( BBS ) . Under the banner Next Generation Bus New Jersey Transit ( NJT ) , the New Jersey Department of Transportation ( NJDOT ) , and the metropolitan planning organizations of New Jersey ( MPO ) which recommend and authorize transportation projects are undertaking the creation of several additional bus rapid transit systems ( BRT ) in the state . In 2011 , NJT announced that it would equip its entire bus fleet with devices for real-time locating , thus creating the basis for `` next bus '' scheduling information at bus shelters . The introduction and expanded use of bus rapid transit in Garden State is part of worldwide phenomenon to bring mass transit to heavily trafficked corridors in both high and medium density areas as a cost-saving , and sometimes more flexible , alternative to rail transportation , thus reducing automobile dependency and traffic congestion .


query: Year Zero was tossed in production.

pos: Year Zero (album) Year Zero is the fifth studio album by American industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails , released on April 17 , 2007 by Interscope Records . Frontman Trent Reznor wrote the album 's music and lyrics while touring in support of the band 's previous album With Teeth ( 2005 ) . In contrast to the introspective style of songwriting Reznor used on previous albums , Year Zero is a concept album that criticizes contemporary policies of the United States government by presenting a dystopian vision of the year 2022 .   The album is part of a larger Year Zero project which includes a remix album , an alternate reality game and a potential television or film project . The Year Zero alternate reality game expanded upon the album 's fictional storyline by using media such as websites , pre-recorded phone messages , and murals . However , disputes arose between Reznor and Universal Music Group , the parent company of Interscope Records , over overseas pricing of the album . In October 2007 , Reznor announced that Nine Inch Nails had fulfilled its contractual commitments to Interscope , effectively ending the band 's relationship with the label ; thus Year Zero was the last Nine Inch Nails studio album released on the Interscope label .   Upon its release in April 2007 , Year Zero sold over 187,000 copies in its first week and reached number two on the US Billboard 200 chart . The album also received generally positive reviews , many of which were also favorable toward the accompanying alternate reality game . Year Zero spawned the singles `` Survivalism '' and `` Capital G '' .

neg: Orphaned and abandoned wells in the United States Though different jurisdictions have varying criteria for what exactly qualifies as an abandoned oil well , generally speaking an oil well is considered abandoned when it has been permanently taken out of production . Similarly , orphaned wells may have different legal definitions across different jurisdictions , but can be thought of as wells whose legal owner is not possible to determine . State legislatures in the United States have specific definitions based on local needs and priorities . For example , the section on abandoned wells in Texas ' Natural Resource Code defines an `` inactive well '' as `` an unplugged well that has had no reported production , disposal , injection , or other permitted activity for a period of greater than 12 months . '' Pennsylvania 's definition of abandoned well includes not producing for 12 months , `` considered dry and not equipped for production within 60 days after drilling , redrilling or deepening , and from which the equipment need to extract resources or produce energy has been removed . Ohio legislation defines `` idle and orphaned wells '' based on whether or not a well bond has been forfeited or the money to plug it is unavailable . It defines a `` temporary inactive well status '' as not having produced for two ( non-horizontal wells ) or eight ( horizontal wells ) statutorily defined reporting periods or one that has produced `` less than 100,000 cubic feet of natural gas or 15 barrels of crude oil .

neg: Less Than Zero (song) `` Less Than Zero '' is the eighth track on Elvis Costello 's debut album My Aim Is True , and the first Costello single that Stiff Records released .   The song expressed Costello 's anger after seeing former British Union of Fascists leader Oswald Mosley interviewed on television attempting to deny his racist past . In the liner notes to the Rhino edition of the album , Costello writes :   The song therefore fits in with a number of others on early Costello albums that deal with themes of fascism and totalitarianism , which also include `` Night Rally '' from This Year 's Model and `` Goon Squad '' from Armed Forces . In this case , a racist and totalitarian movement is seen in terms of sub rosa teenage sex : `` Turn up the TV ... Even your mother wo n't detect it/So your father wo n't know . ''   Allmusic critic Mark Deming describes the melody as `` slow , slinky -LSB- and -RSB- sinister . '' Deming also suggests that the melody shows some reggae influences , even though the rhythm does not incorporate reggae syncopations . Deming describes the song as `` controversial , audacious , and highly effective '' as well as `` a truly remarkable debut . ''   On his first visit to the United States , Costello found that American audiences did n't understand the song , writing in his 2015 autobiography , Unfaithful Music and Disappearing Ink , `` I 'm not sure if anyone in Cleveland has ever heard of Oswald Mosley or gave a damn about him when we played `` Less Than Zero '' that night . It was just some rock and roll music with a fashionable-sounding title '' . Later , he substantially rewrote the lyrics to refer to Lee Harvey Oswald . This was a reference to the common misconception among American fans that this was the `` Mr. Oswald '' referred to in the original lyrics . This version is usually referred to as the `` Dallas version '' and is available as a bonus track on the My Aim is True reissue , and a live version can be found on Live at the El Mocambo .   The song later provided US author Bret Easton Ellis with the title of his debut novel .   The song was also involved in Costello 's infamous performance on Saturday Night Live on 17 December 1977 . Following pressure from his record company to play the song on the show , Costello began to play the song , but he stopped after only a few bars , saying that `` there 's no reason to do this song here . '' He then launched into an unannounced performance of `` Radio Radio '' , a song he had promised not to play . As a result , he was banned from the show until 1989 . In 2015 , Costello wrote of having seen the Saturday Night Live appearance as an opportunity equivalent to The Beatles ' first live US television performance on -LSB- -LSB- The Ed Sullivan Show -RSB- : '' -LSB- ... -RSB- Columbia insisted that the second song should be `` Less Than Zero '' . The song had already proven to be obscure to many American ears and if this was supposed to be our I Want to Hold Your Hand moment , I thought the song was too low-key '' . He had then come up with the plan to switch songs , inspired by a live performance on the BBC 's The Lulu Show in 1969 in which Jimi Hendrix had scrapped a performance of Hey Joe after a few bars to instead play an impromptu tribute to Cream , who had broken up just days before .   `` Less Than Zero '' appears on the first Stiff Records compilation ; A Bunch of Stiff Records , whilst the B-side , `` Radio Sweetheart '' , appears on their second ; Hits Greatest Stiffs .

neg: Deadline (science fiction story) `` Deadline '' is a 1944 science fiction short story by American writer Cleve Cartmill , first published in Astounding Science Fiction . The story described the then-secret atomic bomb in some detail . At that time the bomb was still under development and top secret , which prompted a visit by the FBI .   In 1943 , Cartmill suggested to John W. Campbell , the then-editor of Astounding , that he could write a story about a futuristic super-bomb . Campbell liked the idea and supplied Cartmill with considerable background information gleaned from unclassified scientific journals , on the use of Uranium-235 to make a nuclear fission device . The resulting story appeared in the issue of Astounding dated March 1944 , which actually appeared early in February of that year .   By March 8 it had come to the attention of the Counterintelligence Corps , who saw many similarities between the technical details in the story and the research currently being undertaken in great secrecy at Los Alamos . Gregory Benford describes the incident as told him by Edward Teller in his autobiographical essay `` Old Legends '' :   Coming three years later in the same magazine , Cleve Cartmill 's `` Deadline '' provoked astonishment in the lunch table discussions at Los Alamos . It really did describe isotope separation and the bomb itself in detail , and raised as its principal plot pivot the issue the physicists were then debating among themselves : should the Allies use it ? To the physicists from many countries clustered in the high mountain strangeness of New Mexico , cut off from their familiar sources of humanist learning , it must have seemed particularly striking that Cartmill described an allied effort , a joint responsibility laid upon many nations .  Discussion of Cartmill 's `` Deadline '' was significant . The story 's detail was remarkable , its sentiments even more so . Did this rather obscure story hint at what the American public really thought about such a superweapon , or would think if they only knew ?  Talk attracts attention , Teller recalled a security officer who took a decided interest , making notes , saying little . In retrospect , it was easy to see what a wartime intelligence monitor would make of the physicists ' conversations . Who was this guy Cartmill , anyway ? Where did he get these details ? Who tipped him to the isotope separation problem ? `` and that is why Mr. Campbell received his visitors . ''   Fearing a security breach , the FBI began an investigation into Cartmill , Campbell , and some of their acquaintances ( including Isaac Asimov and Robert A. Heinlein ) . It appears that the authorities eventually accepted the explanation that the story 's material had been gleaned from unclassified sources , but as a precautionary measure they requested that Campbell should not publish any further stories about nuclear technology for the remainder of the war .   Campbell , in the meantime , had guessed from the number of Astounding subscribers who had suddenly moved to the Los Alamos area , that the US government probably had some sort of technical or scientific project ongoing there . He declined to volunteer this information to the FBI .

neg: ZPL (programming language) ZPL ( short for Z-level Programming Language ) is an array programming language designed to replace C and C++ programming languages in engineering and scientific applications . Because its design goal was to obtain cross-platform high performance , ZPL programs run fast on both sequential and parallel computers . Highly-parallel ZPL programs are simple and easy to write because it exclusively uses implicit parallelism .   Originally called Orca C , ZPL was designed and implemented during 1993-1995 by the Orca Project of the Computer Science and Engineering Department at the University of Washington .   ZPL uses the array abstraction to implement a data parallel programming model . This is the reason why ZPL achieves such good performance : having no parallel directives or other forms of explicit parallelism , ZPL exploits the operational trait that when aggregate computations are described in terms of arrays , many scalar operations must be ( implicitly ) performed to implement the array operations . This implied computation can be automatically allotted to different processors to achieve concurrency : Parallelism arises from the semantics of the array operations .   ZPL is translated into a conventional abstract syntax tree representation on which program analysis and program optimizations are performed . ANSI C code is generated as the object code . This C program ( which is machine independent because it implements certain operations in abstract form ) is then compiled using the native C compiler on the target machine with custom libraries optimized to the specific platform .   The creators of ZPL were : Brad Chamberlain , Sung-Eun Choi , E Christopher Lewis , Calvin Lin , Jason Secosky , Larry Snyder , and W. Derrick Weathersby with assistance from Ruth Anderson , A.J. Bernheim , Marios Dikaiakos , George Forman , and Kurt Partridge .   ZPL 's status as an active project is in question ; the latest `` What 's new '' item on the front page of the official website is dated 9 January 2005 .

neg: Production and Decay of Strange Particles `` Production and Decay of Strange Particles '' is an episode of the original The Outer Limits television show . It first aired on 20 April 1964 , during the first season .   The plot involves workers at a nuclear research plant wearing radiation suits , who are taken over by some odd glowing substance that fills their suits and causes them to act as puppets of the force inside .   Mentioned in the episode are many modern physics concepts such as neutrinos , antimatter , quasi-stellar objects ( at that time just discovered and perhaps mentioned here in TV fiction for the first time ) and subatomic particles with the property of `` strangeness '' ( a perhaps unfortunately named quantum property of matter which had been chosen a few years before by physicists , despite objection at the time that it was no more `` strange '' or odd than any other property of subatomic particles ) . The episode name is close to that of an actual Physical Review paper of 1956 , titled `` Cloud-Chamber Study of the Production and Decay of Strange Particles . ''

It first aired on Comedy Central in the United States on June 20 , 2001 . In the episode , the word `` shit '' is said uncensored on television on the crime show Cop Drama . After this , everyone starts saying `` shit '' over and over , which eventually brings over a mysterious plague that unleashes the ancient Knights of Standards and Practices , and only Chef and the boys can save the world .   The episode was written by series co-creator Trey Parker and is rated TV-MA-LV in the United States . Throughout the episode , the profanity `` shit '' or `` shitty '' are exclaimed uncensored a total of 162 separate times ; in syndicated or re-aired versions of this episode , a counter in the bottom left corner of the screen counts the number of times the word has been uttered . The written occurrences are not counted , but `` shit '' is written 38 times , which puts the `` shit `` s up to an even 200 . `` Shit '' is uttered roughly once every eight seconds ; one such count includes the episode 's theme song in the calculation .

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

neg: Marketing year A marketing year is a period of one year ( or sometimes less ) , designated for reporting and ( or ) analysis of production , marketing and disposition of a commodity . ( Disposition of an agricultural crop might include such uses as food , animal feed , industry , seed , and export , as well as changes in stocks . ) Because of year-to-year fluctuations in production , much marketing and disposition of some commodities may reflect production that occurred during a previous calendar year . For this reason , analysis is often facilitated if the marketing year for a crop commences at about the time of harvest . However , world markets or other factors may also influence choice of beginning date for the marketing year for some commodities in some countries . Especially in the case of certain perishable fresh fruits and vegetables , the marketing year may be less than a full year in length , because economic activity of interest for reporting and analysis may be concluded within just a few months .

neg: Signed zero Signed zero is zero with an associated sign . In ordinary arithmetic , the number 0 does not have a sign , so that − 0 , +0 and 0 are identical . However , in computing , some number representations allow for the existence of two zeros , often denoted by − 0 ( negative zero ) and +0 ( positive zero ) , regarded as equal by the numerical comparison operations but with possible different behaviors in particular operations . This occurs in the sign and magnitude and ones ' complement signed number representations for integers , and in most floating-point number representations . The number 0 is usually encoded as +0 , but can be represented by either +0 or − 0 .   The IEEE 754 standard for floating-point arithmetic ( presently used by most computers and programming languages that support floating point numbers ) requires both +0 and − 0 . Real arithmetic with signed zeros can be considered a variant of the extended real number line such that 1 / − 0 = − ∞ and 1 / +0 = + ∞ ; division is only undefined for ± 0 / ± 0 and ± ∞ / ± ∞ .   Negatively signed zero echoes the mathematical analysis concept of approaching 0 from below as a one-sided limit , which may be denoted by x → 0 − , x → 0 − , or x → ↑ 0 . The notation '' − 0 '' may be used informally to denote a small negative number that has been rounded to zero . The concept of negative zero also has some theoretical applications in statistical mechanics and other disciplines .   It is claimed that the inclusion of signed zero in IEEE 754 makes it much easier to achieve numerical accuracy in some critical problems , in particular when computing with complex elementary functions . On the other hand , the concept of signed zero runs contrary to the general assumption made in most mathematical fields that negative zero is the same thing as zero . Representations that allow negative zero can be a source of errors in programs , if software developers do not take into account that while the two zero representations behave as equal under numeric comparisons , they yield different results in some operations .

neg: Threads Threads is a 1984 British television drama jointly produced by the BBC , Nine Network and Western-World Television Inc. . Written by Barry Hines and directed by Mick Jackson , it is a docudrama account of nuclear war and its effects on the city of Sheffield in Northern England . The plot centres on two families as a confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union erupts . As the nuclear exchange between NATO and the Warsaw Pact begins , the film depicts the medical , economic , social and environmental consequences of nuclear war .   Shot on a budget of # 250,000 -- 350,000 , the film was the first of its kind to depict a nuclear winter . Certain reviewers nominated Threads as the `` film which comes closest to representing the full horror of nuclear war and its aftermath , as well as the catastrophic impact that the event would have on human culture '' . It has been compared to the earlier programme The War Game produced in Britain in the 1960s and its contemporary The Day After , a 1983 ABC television film depicting a similar scenario in the United States . It was nominated for seven BAFTA awards in 1985 and won for Best Single Drama , Best Design , Best Film Cameraman and Best Film Editor .

neg: Kenji Uedo Zero ( Kenji Uedo ) is a fictional comic book superhero appearing in books published by Marvel Comics . The character first appeared in Generation Hope # 1 , in the final chapter of the `` Five Lights '' storyline , and the first storyline of the Generation Hope book . He was created by Matt Fraction and Kieron Gillen , and is one of the `` Five Lights '' -- a group of mutants who manifested their abilities after the events of `` Second Coming '' .

neg: The Producers (1968 film) The Producers is a 1968 American satirical comedy film written and directed by Mel Brooks and starring Zero Mostel , Gene Wilder , Dick Shawn , and Kenneth Mars . The film was Brooks 's directorial debut , and he won an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay . Although the release date was officially 1968 , the premier took place in Pittsburgh on November 22 , 1967 .   Decades later , the film was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry and placed eleventh on the AFI 's 100 Years ... 100 Laughs list . It was later remade by Brooks as an acclaimed Broadway stage musical , which itself was adapted for a 2005 feature film starring Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick .

neg: Transuranic waste Transuranic waste ( TRU ) is , as stated by U.S. regulations and independent of state or origin , waste which has been contaminated with alpha emitting transuranic radionuclides possessing half-lives greater than 20 years and in concentrations greater than 100 nCi/g ( 3.7 MBq/kg ) .   Elements having atomic numbers greater than that of uranium are called transuranic . Elements within TRU are typically man-made and are known to contain americium-241 and several isotopes of plutonium . Because of the elements ' longer half-lives , TRU is disposed of more cautiously than low level waste and intermediate level waste . In the U.S. it is a byproduct of weapons production , nuclear research and power production , and consists of protective gear , tools , residue , debris and other items contaminated with small amounts of radioactive elements ( mainly plutonium ) .   Under U.S. law , TRU is further categorized into `` contact-handled '' ( CH ) and `` remote-handled '' ( RH ) on the basis of the radiation field measured on the waste container 's surface . CH TRU has a surface dose rate not greater than 2 mSv per hour ( 200 mrem/h ) , whereas RH TRU has rates of 2 mSv/h or higher . CH TRU has neither the high radioactivity of high level waste , nor its high heat generation . In contrast , RH TRU can be highly radioactive , with surface dose rates up to 10 Sv/h ( 1000 rem/h ) .   The United States currently permanently disposes of TRU generated from defense nuclear activities at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant , a deep geologic repository .   Other countries do not include this category , favoring variations of High , Medium/Intermediate , and Low Level waste .   Chemical elements contains 11 transuranic actinide elements , with atomic numbers ranging from 93 to 103 . An element is defined by its atomic number , the number of protons in the atomic nucleus . Nuclei with the same atomic number but different numbers of neutrons are isotopes of the same element . The number of possible isotopes that have been attested in the laboratory is listed in the table shown for each element . The mass number of an isotope is the total number of protons and neutrons . All of the transuranic actinides are unstable . For any element , the most stable isotope is the one with the longest half-life , or time until half of the original amount present decays . The possible decay modes of the most stable isotope include Alpha particle emission , which drops the atomic number by 2 and the mass number by 4 ; Spontaneous Fission ( SF ) , in which the nucleus breaks into several fragments ; Beta particle emission , which increases the atomic number by 1 but leaves the mass number unchanged ; and Electron Capture ( EC ) , which decreases the atomic number by 1 but leaves the mass number unchanged .

neg: Zero-energy building A zero-energy building , also known as a zero net energy ( ZNE ) building , net-zero energy building ( NZEB ) , or net zero building , is a building with zero net energy consumption , meaning the total amount of energy used by the building on an annual basis is roughly equal to the amount of renewable energy created on the site , or in other definitions by renewable energy sources elsewhere . These buildings consequently contribute less overall greenhouse gas to the atmosphere than similar non-ZNE buildings . They do at times consume non-renewable energy and produce greenhouse gases , but at other times reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas production elsewhere by the same amount . A similar concept approved and implemented by the European Union and other agreeing countries is nearly Zero Energy Building ( nZEB ) , with the goal of having all buildings in the region under nZEB standards by 2020 .   Most zero net energy buildings get half or more of their energy from the grid , and return the same amount at other times . Buildings that produce a surplus of energy over the year may be called `` energy-plus buildings '' and buildings that consume slightly more energy than they produce are called `` near-zero energy buildings '' or `` ultra-low energy houses '' .   Traditional buildings consume 40 % of the total fossil fuel energy in the US and European Union and are significant contributors of greenhouse gases . The zero net energy consumption principle is viewed as a means to reduce carbon emissions and reduce dependence on fossil fuels and although zero-energy buildings remain uncommon even in developed countries , they are gaining importance and popularity .   Most zero-energy buildings use the electrical grid for energy storage but some are independent of the grid . Energy is usually harvested on-site through energy producing technologies like solar and wind , while reducing the overall use of energy with highly efficient HVAC and lighting technologies . The zero-energy goal is becoming more practical as the costs of alternative energy technologies decrease and the costs of traditional fossil fuels increase .   The development of modern zero-energy buildings became possible not only through the progress made in new energy and construction technologies and techniques , but it has also been significantly improved by academic research , which collects precise energy performance data on traditional and experimental buildings and provides performance parameters for advanced computer models to predict the efficacy of engineering designs . Zero-energy buildings can be part of a smart grid . Some advantages of these buildings are as follows :  Integration of renewable energy resources  Integration of plug-in electric vehicles  Implementation of zero-energy concepts   The net zero concept is applicable to a wide range of resources due to the many options for producing and conserving resources in buildings ( e.g. energy , water , waste ) . Energy is the first resource to be targeted because it is highly managed , expected to continually become more efficient , and the ability to distribute and allocate it will improve disaster resiliency .

neg: Year zero Year zero does not exist in the Anno Domini system usually used to number years in the Gregorian calendar and in its predecessor , the Julian calendar . In this system , the year is followed by . However , there is a year zero in astronomical year numbering ( where it coincides with the Julian year ) and in ISO 8601:2004 ( where it coincides with the Gregorian year ) as well as in all Buddhist and Hindu calendars .
