On June 12 , a redesign of the channel welcomed three new original productions by SET .

In December 2009 , this space was moved to Saturdays , until it was eventually dropped in 2010 , though a movie block will return to the Brazilian feed on Thursdays , starting in April 2011 , as Cine Sony .

neg: Cult image In the practice of religion , a cult image is a human-made object that is venerated or worshipped for the deity , spirit or daemon that it embodies or represents . Cultus , the outward religious formulas of `` cult '' ( meaning religious practice , as opposed to the pejorative term for a potentially dangerous `` new religion '' ) , often centers upon the treatment of cult images , which may be dressed , fed or paraded , etc. . Religious images cover a wider range of all types of images made with a religious purpose , subject , or connection . In many contexts `` cult image '' specifically means the most important image in a temple , kept in an inner space , as opposed to what may be many other images decorating the temple .   The term idol is often synonymous with cult image , but may be used especially of a cult image believed not just to depict or represent a deity or spirit , but in some sense to be one itself . Sometimes the image is believed to have its own powers , to grant wishes or otherwise affect the world . In cultures where idolatry is not viewed negatively , the word idol is not generally seen as pejorative , such as in Indian English .   Cult of images is the practice of worshipping or venerating religious or cult images representing divine figures . Common in a number of ancient religions , the practice continues most prominently today in Hinduism . The Abrahamic religions all specifically ban idols and idolatry ; all have had internal divisions and disputes as to what constitutes the proper or improper use of images in religion , and many Abrahamic religious sects use or venerate images with varying degrees of fervor .   In general the belief that an image itself is the object of worship , and itself has or embodies a spirit with inherent powers , tends to be hard to verify when a religious context is examined closely , or to be held at a popular level but denied by the clergy of a religion . Assertions by others outside the religious group concerned that such beliefs are held by the group are however common .

neg: Whitney Houston videography The videography of American pop/R & B recording artist Whitney Houston consists of fifty-five music videos , four music video compilations , a concert tour video and three music video singles . In 1983 , Houston signed a recording contract with Arista Records and two years after released her eponymous debut album . Houston 's first music video was for the single `` You Give Good Love '' , which was selected to establish her in the black marketplace first . In the video of worldwide hit `` Saving All My Love for You '' , she played a beaming All-American girl shadowed by her secret lover 's wife . The following video `` How Will I Know '' , directed by Brian Grant , that helped introduce the singer to a wider audience when it became one of the first videos by a black female singer to earn heavy rotation on MTV , blasting open the doors for a whole generation of R&B and pop divas to follow . The clip won MTV Video Music Award for Best Female Video at its 3rd ceremony of 1986 . `` Greatest Love of All '' , the final single released from Houston 's debut album , which helped cement the M.O. for the classic Whitney video . In June 1986 , Houston released her first video compilation The No. 1 Video Hits , containing her four music videos off the Whitney Houston album . The video compilation reached number-one on the Billboard Top Music Videocassettes chart and stayed at the top spot for 22 weeks , which remains the all-time record for a video collection by a female artist , and was certified Platinum for shipments of 100,000 units by the Recording Industry Association of America ( RIAA ) on July 15 , 1986 . In 1987 , `` I Wan na Dance with Somebody ( Who Loves Me ) '' , the first single from her second album Whitney , was one of Houston 's most recognized music videos in company with the song 's smash hit worldwide . Houston 's fashion and hairstyle in the clip -- towering curly wig , colorful dangly earrings and a series of going-to-the-club outfits -- became one of her iconic looks .   In November 1990 , Houston released her third studio album I 'm Your Baby Tonight . The video for the title track from the album , was what passed for a high-concept clip from Houston , in which she paid tribute to three different legends in film and music industries : Marlene Dietrich , The Supremes and Audrey Hepburn . On January 27 , 1991 , Houston , wearing a white tracksuit with a red and blue print and matching athletic headband , performed `` The Star Spangled Banner '' at Super Bowl XXV , held at the Tampa Stadium in Tampa , Florida . Due to overwhelming response to her rendition , the performance was released as a video single , which was certified 2 × Platinum by the RIAA in April 1991 . Such Houston 's patriotism-boosting-performance for the national anthem led her to give Welcome Home Heroes with Whitney Houston concert , which was for the troops , their families , and military and government dignitaries in honor of those returning from the Gulf War . The concert was released as a VHS ( later also LD and DVD ) in the same year and it was certified Gold for shipments of 50,000 units by the RIAA . Though Houston is acknowledged as one of the best live performers , up to date , the live footage is her only full-concert video that has been issued officially in the United States .   `` I Will Always Love You '' , one of Houston 's iconic videos , was the clip for the lead single off the soundtrack for Houston 's 1992 film debut The Bodyguard . In the video , directed by Nick Brandt , the camera focused on an elegantly suited up , forlorn-looking Houston sitting in an empty theater and staring into the distance as she watched clips from the movie scroll by . Houston blasted into the song 's towering finale via a quick zoom to her face , eyes closed , and then popping open as she hit the high notes . The idea and the camerawork helped Houston to deliver perfectly the titanically tear-jerking drama of the song . Her other notable video from The Bodyguard Soundtrack , `` Queen of the Night '' , featured Houston performing the song in a club dressed in a metallic costume , which were inspired by scenes from Fritz Lang 's 1927 silent film Metropolis . After Houston contributed to her songs on the soundtracks for two films , in which she also starred , Waiting to Exhale ( 1995 ) and The Preacher 's Wife ( 1996 ) , she teamed up with Mariah Carey in the video for `` When You Believe '' from The Prince of Egypt Soundtrack . In November 1998 , Houston came back to pop music full-time with My Love Is Your Love , which returned her to heavy rotation . The singles from the album , `` Heartbreak Hotel '' , `` It 's Not Right But It 's Okay '' , and `` My Love Is Your Love '' , were all US top 5 hits , and Houston was also once again embraced by MTV thanks to her willingness to let her style and approach evolve in her music and the videos . During that time , most of her music videos were directed by Kevin Bray .   Houston began the 2000s with her first greatest hits compilation , Whitney : The Greatest Hits , which spawned three then new videos including two for the duet songs that she collaborated with Enrique Iglesias on `` Could I Have This Kiss Forever '' and George Michael on `` If I Told You That '' . The accompanying video/DVD of the same title was also released at the same time , which contained Houston 's promotional videos from 1985 to 1999 and several hard-to-find live performances including her 1983 TV debut on The Merv Griffin Show . In December 2002 , Houston released her fifth studio album , Just Whitney . Two music videos from the album , `` Whatchulookinat '' and `` Try It on My Own '' , were considered her answers to the media for getting too deep into her personal life and to malicious rumours surrounding then her public image . In the former video , she confronted the issues with a white set with an overhead camera and mirrors on its walls , following and reflecting Houston 's every move . In the latter , did with the storyline strongly reminiscent of her high-profile firing by Burt Bacharach from the 2000 Academy Awards ceremony for not singing `` Over the Rainbow '' during rehearsals for the show . In August 2009 , Houston returned to the music scene with her fourth Billboard 200 number-one album , I Look to You , which yielded `` Million Dollar Bill '' and `` I Look to You '' videos .   Most of Houston 's notable videos involve just a bit of perfunctory storyline and focus on her performance , however , several sources recognized her as one of pioneers who laid the groundwork and broke down barriers with the videos during her generation . In 2003 , VH1 ranked Houston at number three on the list of '50 Greatest Women of the Video Era ' . In February 2012 , TIME , on a photo article in honor of Black History Month , listed her as one of '50 Cultural Giants ' . Gil Kaufman from MTV News said that '' -LSB- Houston -RSB- proved you could make a fuss without making a spectacle , '' and added his view on Houston 's legacy as follows :  The legendary R&B singer -LSB- Houston -RSB- became one of the most important artists of the early music-video era by taking the road less traveled . -LSB- ... -RSB- While such fellow trailblazers as Michael Jackson and Madonna created video fantasy worlds full of monsters , gangsters , street-fighting men and naughty brides , Houston mostly skipped the drama and stood front and center in her most iconic clips doing the thing that she did best : singing her heart out .

Since the turn of the 21st century , South Korea has emerged as a major exporter of popular culture and tourism , aspects which have become a significant part of its burgeoning economy . The growing popularity of Korean pop culture in many parts of the world has prompted the South Korean government to support its creative industries through subsidies and funding for start-ups , as a form of soft power and in its aim of becoming one of the world 's leading exporters of culture along with Japanese and British culture , a niche that the United States has dominated for nearly a century . During this time the Korean society began to be recognized as a developed country similar to that of the Western world .   Part of the success of the Korean Wave owes in part to the development of social networking services and online video sharing platforms such as YouTube , which have allowed the Korean entertainment industry to reach a sizable overseas audience . Use of these media in facilitating promotion , distribution and consumption of various forms of Korean entertainment ( and K-pop in particular ) has contributed to their surge in worldwide popularity since the mid-2000s .

neg: Facebook like button The Facebook like button is a feature on the social networking website Facebook . It was first enabled on February 9 , 2009 . The like button enables users to easily interact with status updates , comments , photos , links shared by friends , and advertisements . Once clicked by a user , the designated content appears in the News Feeds of that user 's friends , and the button also displays the number of other users who have liked the content , including a full or partial list of those users . The like button was extended to comments in June 2010 . After extensive testing and years of questions from the public about whether it had an intention to incorporate a `` Dislike '' button , Facebook officially rolled out `` Reactions '' to users worldwide on February 24 , 2016 , letting users long-press on the like button for an option to use one of five pre-defined emotions , including `` Love '' , `` Haha '' , `` Wow '' , `` Sad '' , or `` Angry '' . Reactions were also extended to comments in May 2017 .   The like button is one of Facebook 's social plug-ins , in which the button can be placed on third-party websites . Its use centers around a form of an advertising network , in which it gathers information about which users visit what websites . This form of functionality , a sort of web beacon , has been significantly criticized for privacy . Privacy activist organizations have urged Facebook to stop its data collection through the plug-in , and governments have launched investigations into the activity for possible privacy law violations . Facebook has stated that it anonymizes the information after three months , and that the data collected is not shared or sold to third parties . Additionally , the like button 's potential use as a measurement of popularity has caused some companies to sell likes through fake Facebook accounts , which in turn have sparked complaints from some companies advertising on Facebook that have received an abundance of fake likes that have distorted proper user metrics . Facebook states in its Terms of Service agreement that users may only create one personal page , and it has ongoing efforts against the spread of fake accounts . In the United States , pressing the `` like '' button on a page is protected as freedom of speech under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution .

neg: Oregon Progress Board The Oregon Progress Board ( OPB ) is a commission in the Government of Oregon . It was formed by then-Governor Neil Goldschmidt in 1989 . The commission is composed of twelve members , including the Governor of Oregon ; nine members appointed by the Governor ; one member appointed by the President of the Oregon State Senate ; and one member appointed by the Speaker of the Oregon House of Representatives .   Goldschmidt led the establishment of Oregon Shines , a strategic plan consisting of three goals and recommendations on their implementation . He then created the OPB , to keep Oregonians ' attention on the goals , issue biennial reports on progress , and perform periodic updates to the plan . Oregon Shines was written in 1989 and updated in 1997 . Private foundations contributed at least $ 20,000 to perform the third revision in time for the Oregon Sesquicentennial in 2009 .   The initial `` Oregon Benchmarks '' report listed 103 benchmarks against which state agencies were to chart their progress . As of 2005 , the number of benchmarks listed was 90 .   Goldschmidt stated at the program 's inception : `` The Oregon Benchmark project is a tool to keep Oregon on track . Oregon will be the first state to hold itself accountable to its visions for the future . ''   In 2005 , the OPB conducted a survey that found that 85 % of Oregonians did not know the biggest source of revenue ( income tax ) or the biggest expenditure category ( education ) of the state . Commenting on the general lack of understanding of the state budget revealed by the poll , pollster Adam Davis observed that `` This state of affairs poses a virtually insuperable barrier to any kind of major reform of our tax system or array of public services . Any effort to raise taxes for any purpose runs into the same problem : ` Ca n't you just prioritize and cut out the unimportant stuff ? ' ''   As of its 2009 report , the OPB listed its benchmarks in seven categories . After the 2009 report was completed , funding for the Board was cut and the state discontinued monitoring the benchmarks . In 2014 , the Oregon Community Foundation and OSU built on the previous work with a report on a series of similar indicators .

neg: Illinois Executive Mansion The Illinois Executive Mansion is the official residence of the Governor of Illinois . It is located at 410 E. Jackson Street in Springfield , Illinois and is open to tours on Wednesdays and Saturday mornings , free of charge . The Georgian style Mansion was designed by Chicago architect John M. Van Osdel . The Mansion was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 .   The 16-room manor was completed in 1855 and was first occupied by governor Joel Matteson , who held the official grand opening on January 10 , 1856 . It is one of the oldest historic residences in the state of Illinois and one of the three oldest continuously occupied governor 's mansions in the United States . The governor 's mansion is constructed in an `` H '' shaped configuration .   During the Christmas season the mansion is decorated lavishly with Christmas decorations , including over a dozen Christmas trees .   Although sometimes used for state functions such as state dinners and the like , the mansion proper is , for the most part , a historic site . The libraries , bedrooms , parlors , sitting rooms , etc. are maintained as they may have looked in the 19th century . The governor and his family are not expected to actually reside in the main mansion itself . Rather , a 7-room private apartment on the second floor of the mansion is provided for the governor and his family .   Former Illinois Governor George Ryan and First Lady Lura Lynn Ryan refurbished much of the mansion 's furniture during their tenure using private donations . In 2011 , a multimillion-dollar renovation was planned because the last repairs to the mansion were in 1971 .   In 2009 , newly elevated Governor Pat Quinn announced that he was looking forward to living in the mansion , calling it `` the people 's house . '' His predecessor Rod Blagojevich had continued to live in his Ravenswood Manor , Chicago home while commuting via state plane to Springfield and preferred to execute his gubernatorial duties from within his home and , less commonly , the Governor 's office in Chicago 's Thompson Center .   The 2014 polar vortex led to significant water damage to the mansion , and Governor Quinn , who chose to live in the mansion part-time , allocated about $ 40,000 in emergency repairs . Shortly after his election as governor , Bruce Rauner announced that he and his wife would invest some of their money into repairing the mansion so they could live in it during his term . On July 18 , 2016 , Illinois First Lady Diana Rauner announced a $ 15 million renovation project for the mansion , with the funding being raised privately . The work is planned to be completed by the Illinois bicentennial in 2018 .

neg: Somerton Somerton -LSB- ˈsʌmərtən -RSB- is a town and civil parish in the English county of Somerset . It gave its name to the county , and was briefly , around the start of the 14th century , the county town , and around 900 AD was possibly the capital of Wessex . It has held a weekly market since the Middle Ages , and the main square with its market cross is today an attractive location for visitors . Situated on the River Cary , approximately 8.8 mi north-west of Yeovil , Somerton has its own town council serving a population of 4,697 as of 2011 .   Residents are often referred to locally as Somertonians . The civil parish includes the hamlets of Etsome , Hurcot , Catsgore , and Catcombe .   The history of Somerton dates back to the Anglo-Saxon era , when it was an important political and commercial centre . After the Norman conquest of England the importance of the town declined , despite being the county town of Somerset in the late thirteenth century and early fourteenth century . Having lost county town status , Somerton then became a market town in the Middle Ages , whose economy was supported by transport systems using the River Parrett , and later rail transport via the Great Western Railway , and by light industries including glove making and gypsum mining .   In the centre of Somerton the wide market square , with its octagonal roofed market cross , is surrounded by old houses , while close by is the 13th century Church of St Michael and All Angels . Somerton also had links with Muchelney Abbey in the Middle Ages . The BBC drama The Monocled Mutineer was filmed in Somerton from 1985 to 1986 .

neg: The Brewhouse Theatre & Arts Centre The Brewhouse Theatre and Arts Centre ( or The Brewhouse ) is the largest theatre and arts centre in Taunton , a town in Somerset , England .   The building opened 28 March 1977 , on the banks of the River Tone , and offers a 350-seat auditorium and supporting studio and exhibition spaces . Its first professional production was Alan Ayckbourn 's The Norman Conquests , starring the then unknown David Jason .   The administrative offices are on the first floor of a Georgian Grade II listed building which gives the theatre its name .   In 2005 , Arts Council England announced that it would cut regular funding to The Brewhouse from 2006 , following a drop in artistic output . In September 2005 a new director Robert Miles was appointed to lead the artistic reinvigoration of the organisation , which now plays host to experimental theatre companies such as DEREVO , and No Fit State Circus . It was also the first theatre , apart from the Royal Court Theatre , to stage Caryl Churchill 's controversial play Seven Jewish Children .   In 2009 , ongoing under funding , combined with the impact of recession and a subsequent threat of cuts meant the venue was once again put under threat of closure . With support from its stakeholders The Brewhouse overcame these immediate funding concerns , and in March 2010 it was announced that the organisation had been awarded # 487,500 from Arts Council England 's Sustain fund to allow it to continue to programme arts and participatory activities during the economic downturn .   A feasibility study by ArtsService recommends the current site be expanded to create a 600 - to 750-seat auditorium , a larger gallery space and arthouse cinema with improved bar and catering provision as part of a new `` Coal Orchard '' - Taunton 's cultural quarter .   The venue closed in February 2013 and went into administration .   The venue reopened in April 2014 by the Taunton Theatre Association ( TTA ) , having been granted the lease from Taunton Deane Borough Council , who bought the 61-year lease of the site and its contents from administrator BDO .

neg: Iolanthe Iolanthe ; or , The Peer and the Peri ( -LSB- aɪ.oʊˈlænθiː -RSB- ) is a comic opera with music by Arthur Sullivan and libretto by W. S. Gilbert . It is one of the Savoy operas and is the seventh of fourteen operatic collaborations by Gilbert and Sullivan . In the opera , the fairy Iolanthe has been banished from fairyland because she married a mortal ; this is forbidden by fairy law . Her son , Strephon , is an Arcadian shepherd who wants to marry Phyllis , a Ward of Chancery . All the members of the House of Peers also want to marry Phyllis . When Phyllis sees Strephon hugging a young woman ( not knowing that it is his mother -- immortal fairies all appear young ) , she assumes the worst and sets off a climactic confrontation between the peers and the fairies . The opera satirises many aspects of British government , law and society . The confrontation between the fairies and the peers is a version of one of Gilbert 's favourite themes : a tranquil civilisation of women is disrupted by a male-dominated world through the discovery of mortal love .   Iolanthe opened in London on 25 November 1882 , at the Savoy Theatre to a warm reception , and ran for 398 performances , the fourth consecutive hit by Gilbert and Sullivan . It was the first work to premiere at the Savoy ( although Patience had transferred to the theatre in 1881 ) and was the first new theatre production in the world to be illuminated entirely with electric lights , permitting some special effects that had not been possible in the era of gas lighting . The opera opened simultaneously in New York , and touring companies were sent around the UK and US to play the piece . The first Australasian touring production followed in 1885 , and the opera was revived in London beginning in 1901 . The D'Oyly Carte Opera Company toured the opera nearly continuously in repertory from 1891 until 1982 , and made several recordings of the opera over that period . Numerous other professional and amateur productions have been given of this enduring work , and various other recordings have been issued .

neg: Themes in Titus Andronicus Although traditionally Titus Andronicus has been seen as one of Shakespeare 's least respected plays , its fortunes have changed somewhat in the latter half of the twentieth century , with numerous scholars arguing that the play is more accomplished than has hitherto been allowed for . In particular , scholars have argued that the play is far more thematically complex than has traditionally been thought , and features profound insights into Ancient Rome , Elizabethan society , and the human condition . Such scholars tend to argue that these previously unacknowledged insights have only become apparent during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries as only now has the ultraviolent content of the play achieved a sense of relevance . For example , in his 1987 edition of the play for the Contemporary Shakespeare series , A.L. Rowse writes ; `` in the civilised Victorian age the play could not be performed because it could not be believed . Such is the horror of our own age , with the appalling barbarities of prison camps and resistance movements paralleling the torture and mutilation and feeding on human flesh of the play , that it has ceased to be improbable . '' Similarly , director Julie Taymor , who staged a production Off-Broadway in 1994 and directed a film version in 1999 , says she was drawn to the play because she found it to be the most `` relevant of Shakespeare 's plays for the modern era ; '' She feels that the play has more relevance for us than it had for the Victorians ; `` it seems like a play written for today , it reeks of now . '' Because of this new found relevance , previously unrecognised thematic strands have thus come to the forefront .   This article presents an overview of four of the most prominent themes in the play .

neg: Aminta Aminta is a play written by Torquato Tasso in 1573 , represented during a garden party at the court of Ferrara . Both the actors and the public were noble persons living at the Court , who could understand subtle allusions the poet made to that style of life , in contrast with the life of shepherds , represented in an idyllic way .   The text is written in hendecasyllabic and septenary verses ; it is divided into five acts .   The play has a pastoral theme , and is set in the time of Alexander the Great . The characters are shepherds and nymphs .   The story is about Aminta 's love for the beautiful nymph Silvia , who does not return his attentions and prefers hunting . She risks rape at the hands of a Satyr but Aminta saves her ; however , again she flees from him . Aminta , finding her blood-stained veil , attempts to kill himself . Now Silvia is remorseful , comes back to cry over Aminta 's body who is still alive , and the two can happily marry , following the advice that older and wiser friends had been giving them .   It was the basis for several opera librettos , such as :  the libretto by Metastasio on which Mozart based his opera Il re pastore ( Salzburg , 1775 )  the libretto by Metastasio on which Antonio Mazzoni based his opera Aminta , il re pastore ( Madrid , 1756 )  the plot of Delibes ' ballet Sylvia , as re-written by Jules Barbier ( Paris , 1876 ) .
