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 .

Because of the production we insisted on from Mitch and Don , which I know must have been incredibly frustrating for them , it 's hard to pick out exactly what 's going on . We tried it again on `` Find The River . '' I had the idea that Bill and I would go in and do some harmonies without listening to each other . It 's great because mine is this incredibly angst-ridden emotional thing , and Bill 's is this really low-key sort of ambling part . They 're two opposite ends of the spectrum but they 're both on there , and it 's a beautiful thing . ''   The music video was shot in Malibu , California , directed by Jodi Wille , and features a stripped-down studio performance by the band and Los Angeles `` outsider '' artist Henry Hill .

neg: Vitamin L This article is about a song . For information on the possible existence of a vitamin called Vitamin L , see Vitamin #History .   `` Vitamin L '' is a song by the American pop rock band B.E. Taylor Group . It is the fifth track on the band 's second studio album , Love Won the Fight , and also the third single pulled from that album . In a departure of the norm of B. E. Taylor singing lead vocals , Joey d'Amico sings lead on this track . It also heavily uses synthesizers and a brass sections as the main instruments . The guitar 's role is minimized to a steady strumming pattern with sustained power chords in the chorus . The lyrics tell the story of a man whose medical condition can only be treated with an unstable drug , called Vitamin L , that reacts `` when boy meets girl '' . In the last verse it is revealed the drug was , in fact , love , and the man is cured of his ailment when he falls in love with a woman .   This song is the B. E. Taylor Group 's most popular song , as it peaked at # 66 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1984 and stayed on the chart for eight weeks .

The song also is a near constant at live performances .   B. E. Taylor later re-recorded this song on his first solo album , Try Love , as more of a rock song , getting rid of the synthesizers and making the bass , lead guitar , and drums much more involved . The lyrics in the verses have entire lines changed as well , mildly changing the story in the process , e.g. `` A chemical reaction occurs/Every time that boys meets girl '' to `` It could keep us all in touch/But we can never take too much '' , erasing the idea that the vitamin is an unstable drug . Three whole lines in the third verse are changed , but these do not change the story in any way .

This was their last single to reach the US Top 40 .

neg: Portia (The Merchant of Venice) Portia is the heroine of William Shakespeare 's The Merchant of Venice . A rich , beautiful , and intelligent heiress , she is bound by the lottery set forth in her father 's will , which gives potential suitors the chance to choose between three caskets composed of gold , silver and lead . If they choose the right casket -- the casket containing Portia 's portrait and a scroll -- they win Portia 's hand in marriage . If they choose the wrong casket , they must leave and never seek another woman in marriage . Portia is glad when two suitors , one driven by greed and another by vanity , fail to choose correctly . She favours Bassanio , a young Venetian noble , but is not allowed to give him any clues to assist in his choice . Later in the play , she disguises herself as a man , then assumes the role of a lawyer 's apprentice ( named Balthazar ) whereby she saves the life of Bassanio 's friend , Antonio , in court .   Portia is one of the most prominent and appealing of the heroines in Shakespeare 's mature romantic comedies . She is beautiful , gracious , rich , intelligent , and quick-witted , with high standards for her potential romantic partners . She obeys her father 's will , while steadfastly seeking to obtain Bassanio . She demonstrates tact to the Princes of Morocco and Aragon , who unsuccessfully seek her hand . In the court scenes , Portia finds a technicality in the bond , thereby outwitting Shylock and saving Antonio 's life when everyone else fails . It is Portia who delivers one of the most famous speeches in The Merchant of Venice :   The strength of the role of Portia has made it attractive to many notable actresses . Frances Abington , Sarah Siddons and Elizabeth Whitlock all played Portia in the 18th century when actresses first started appearing on stage in performances of the play . More recently , the role has been depicted in the cinema and on television by a number of notable actresses such as Maggie Smith , Claire Bloom , Sybil Thorndike , Joan Plowright , Caroline John and Gemma Jones .   Despite Portia 's lack of formal legal training , she wins her case by referring to the details of the exact language of the law . Her success involves prevailing on technicalities rather than the merits of the situation . She uses the tactics of what is sometimes called a Philadelphia lawyer . However , the concept of rhetoric and its abuse is also brought to light by Portia -- highlighting the idea that an unjust argument may win through eloquence , loopholes and technicalities , regardless of the moral question at hand -- and thus provoking the audience to consider that issue .

Space operas emerged in the 1930s and they continue to be produced in literature , film , comics , and video games .

Sometimes the work is conceived from the beginning as a multiple-film work , for example the Three Colours series , but in most cases the success of the original film inspires further films to be made . Individual sequels are relatively common , but are not always successful enough to spawn further installments .   The Marvel Cinematic Universe is the highest grossing film series in unadjusted US Dollar figures surpassing the Harry Potter , Star Wars , James Bond , and Peter Jackson 's The Lord of the Rings series . However , `` Star Wars '' has the highest when adjusted for inflation .

neg: Star Wars Holiday Special The Star Wars Holiday Special is a 1978 American musical science fiction television film set in the Star Wars galaxy . It stars the series ' first film 's main cast while introducing the character Boba Fett , who would appear in later films . It is one of the first official Star Wars spin-offs and was directed by Steve Binder .   In the storyline that ties the special together , Chewbacca and Han Solo visit Kashyyyk , Chewbacca 's home world , to celebrate Life Day . They are pursued by agents of the Galactic Empire , who are searching for members of the Rebel Alliance on the planet . The special introduces three members of Chewbacca 's family : his father Itchy , his wife Malla , and his son Lumpy , though these names were later explained to have been nicknames , their full names being Attichitcuk , Mallatobuck , and Lumpawarrump , respectively .   The program also features many other Star Wars characters , including Luke Skywalker , C-3PO , R2-D2 , Darth Vader and Princess Leia ( who sings the film 's `` theme song '' , set to the music of John Williams ' Star Wars theme , near the end ) , all of them portrayed by the original actors . The program includes stock footage from Star Wars , and also features a cartoon produced by Toronto-based Nelvana that officially introduces the bounty hunter Boba Fett . Scenes also take place in outer space and in spacecraft including the Millennium Falcon and an Imperial Star Destroyer . The variety-show segments and cartoon also take place in a few other locales , such as a Mos Eisley cantina on the desert planet of Tatooine and a newly introduced red ocean planet known as Panna .   The special is notorious for its extremely negative reception and has never been rebroadcast or officially released on home video . It has therefore become something of a cultural legend , because of the `` underground '' quality of its existence . It has been viewed and distributed in off-air recordings made from its original telecast by fans , which were later adapted to content-sharing websites via the Internet and bootleg copies .

neg: Internet Community Ports Act The Internet Community Ports Act ( ICPA ) , created and advocated by The CP80 Foundation ( aka `` Clean Port 80 '' ) , is an approach to HTTP content filtering , leveraging TCP ports to segregate content between `` Community Ports '' and `` Open Ports . '' `` Community Ports '' would be for content that is not considered `` obscene or harmful '' to children ; `` Open Ports '' would be for all other content , including content only considered suitable for adults , such as pornography . According to the advocates of ICPA , this would enable an individual to , through their ISP 's firewall , choose the content they want by port , allowing content or blocking out content individually . Advocates of ICPA would particularly like to remove `` objectionable '' content from Port 80 , the standard port for World-Wide Web traffic ( but by no means all Internet traffic , making the title somewhat of a misnomer ) .   CP80 is chaired by Ralph Yarro III , who is also the chair of the SCO Group .   The CP80 Foundation claims its solution is based on an individual 's choice and the use of existing technology . They also claim the solution is a fair and balanced answer to an alleged `` Internet Porn Problem '' . They conclude that the ICPA ( Internet Community Ports Act ) `` protects '' children and individuals while simultaneously `` preserving '' the First Amendment for all .   While the ICPA has not yet been introduced into the US Congress , it is said to have the support of a number of the Utah members of Congress including Sen. Orrin Hatch ( R-Utah ) , ( former ) Rep. Chris Cannon ( R-Utah ) , ( former ) Rep. Jim Matheson ( D-Utah ) and Rep. Rob Bishop ( R-Utah ) . CP80 has reportedly made presentations to these members of Congress . Sen. Hatch has been quoted as stating `` We have to pursue creative and innovative solutions to this growing public health threat , and CP80 is one of the leaders in that effort . '' Some may consider a proposal calling for the creation of a . xxx domain as similar , but was reportedly blocked by ICANN at the request of the US Government .   The CP80 Foundations claims the ICPA is different in several important ways from the . xxx domain proposal . The ICPA , if passed , would be a federal law , while the . xxx domain was always intended to be voluntary . ICPA would preserve all current URLs and current naming conventions , the . xxx domain would not . ICPA provides a mechanism of recourse against a non-compliant web publisher or content provider under US law , . xxx domain has no such mechanism . ICPA would provide a more secure and robust solution as the content blocking happens at the ISP level , whereas blocking of the . xxx domain would happen at the end user browser level .   The CP80 Foundation claims its ICPA also attempts to address the international `` Porn Problem '' . If the ICPA were to pass an end user would have several choices to make in terms of their Internet experience . The end user would choose Community ports or both Open and Community ports . If the end user chooses Community ports only , the end user could then decide to allow all IP 's from foreign countries or just the IP 's from compliant countries or no foreign IP 's , all of this configuration would happen at the ISP level . In Addition , The CP80 Foundation also supports a movement to use the IANA function , which is still currently administered by the US Government , to enforce the ICPA 's proposed separation of content internationally as part of `` A New Internet Evolution '' , disseminating down though the current ranks of Internet governance including regional Internet registries ( RIR ) , ISPs and finally web publishers and content providers . This would address any international web publisher or content provider who is not conforming to the `` New Evolution '' of the Internet .

neg: Information–action ratio The information -- action ratio was a concept coined by cultural critic Neil Postman ( 1931 -- 2003 ) in his work Amusing Ourselves to Death . In short , Postman meant to indicate the relationship between a piece of information and what action , if any , a consumer of that information might reasonably be expected to take once learning it .   In a speech to the German Informatics Society ( Gesellschaft für Informatik ) on October 11 , 1990 in Stuttgart , sponsored by IBM-Germany , Postman said the following : `` The tie between information and action has been severed . Information is now a commodity that can be bought and sold , or used as a form of entertainment , or worn like a garment to enhance one 's status . It comes indiscriminately , directed at no one in particular , disconnected from usefulness ; we are glutted with information , drowning in information , have no control over it , do n't know what to do with it . ''   In Amusing Ourselves to Death Postman frames the information-action ratio in the context of the telegraph 's invention . Prior to the telegraph , Postman says people received information relevant to their lives , creating a high correlation between information and action : `` The information-action ratio was sufficiently close so that most people had a sense of being able to control some of the contingencies in their lives '' ( p. 69 ) .   The telegraph allowed bits of information to travel long distances , and so Postman claims `` the local and the timeless ... lost their central position in newspapers , eclipsed by the dazzle of distance and speed ... Wars , crimes , crashes , fires , floods -- much of it the social and political equivalent of Adelaide 's whooping coughs -- became the content of what people called ` the news of the day ' '' ( pp. 66 -- 67 ) .   A low information-action ratio , therefore , refers to the helplessness people confront when faced with decontextualized information . Someone may know Adelaide has the whooping cough , but what could anyone do about it ? Postman said that this kind of access to decontextualized information `` made the relationship between information and action both abstract and remote . '' Information consumers were `` faced with the problem of a diminished social and political potency . ''

neg: Bassey – The EMI/UA Years 1959 – 1979 Bassey -- The EMI/UA Years 1959 -- 1979 is a 5-CD boxset compilation from Shirley Bassey issued in 1994 , this set features 94 studio recordings on four CDs , recorded for EMI/United Artists between 1959 and 1979 . Disc five features a previously unreleased live recording from Carnegie Hall . The boxset was reissued by EMI in 2010 in a standard jewel case set .   All tracks appear here in stereo , the original singles released between 1959 and 1969 were released in mono . Later re-issues on compilations were stereo versions of the mono singles , these are the versions featured here . Original mono single recordings made for EMI Columbia were re-issued in 2006 on the 2-CD set The Complete EMI/Columbia Singles Collection .  It was not unusual in this era to make a recording twice , as recording methods for mono and stereo were very different . This created two recordings of the same song , with differing vocals and instrumentation . Both versions were released on separate albums , making two versions of an album available . Mono albums were less expensive and it took a few years before stereo became the dominant market . Later all recordings were made in stereo but were mixed to mono for single releases .   Several previously unreleased tracks were discovered in the EMI vaults and made available here for the first time . This box covers extensively Shirley Bassey 's career from the late 1950s through to the late 1970s , from traditional pop to disco . All three of her world famous James Bond themes are represented here , as are many rare single and EP only releases . Many of the tracks here had not been available in any form since the original release on vinyl . None of Bassey 's live albums recorded in this period are represented on this release . Two B-sides were omitted : The 1976 B-side of `` Natalie '' , a track titled `` Runaway '' ( Shapiro , Lovecchio ) ( an Italian original ) , and the other was a 1979 cover of Barry Manilow 's `` Copacabana ( At The Copa ) '' ( Manilow , Sussman , Feldman ) which only appeared on the 1979 single `` This Is my Life '' . These two tracks are the only ones , originally released in the UK during the EMI/UA Years , not to have had a digital re-issue , as of October 2009 .   A fifth disc features a previously unreleased live recording made on 15 February 1964 at Carnegie Hall , New York . Planned for an album release , this performance was recorded live on a three track tape and was originally mixed for Mono . Due to limitations of the period the results were found unsatisfactory . In 1994 while this boxset was being planned the tapes were discovered and mixed for Stereo at Abbey Road , London . The recording represents well the experience of an early Shirley Bassey concert , highlighting some of her earliest recordings at her previous label ( Philips ) and showcasing a selection of her newest recordings taken from her first three albums at EMI/Columbia . Some of the performances found here are the only live recordings of several Bassey tracks . Her concert performances changed a great deal in the next few years . By the time she finally released Shirley Bassey at the Pigalle in 1965 her early recordings were no longer part of the set list . The song `` Typically English '' was never recorded in a studio version . Musical Direction on the original live recording was by Tony Osborne , and remixed for EMI by Tristam Penna and Ashley Alexander in September 1994 .
