pos: Logo can be identified by any fan of the respective sport. Logo A logo (abbreviation of logotype, from and ) is a graphic mark, emblem, or symbol used to aid and promote public identification and recognition. It may be of an abstract or figurative design or include the text of the name it represents as in a wordmark. In the days of hot metal typesetting, a logotype was one word cast as a single piece of type (e.g. "The" in ATF Garamond), as opposed to a ligature, which is two or more letters joined, but not forming a word. By extension,

pos: Trademark as the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO or PTO). The proper manner to display either symbol is immediately following the mark in superscript style. Terms such as "mark", "brand" and "logo" are sometimes used interchangeably with "trademark". "Trademark", however, also includes any device, brand, label, name, signature, word, letter, numerical, shape of goods, packaging, colour or combination of colours, smell, sound, movement or any combination thereof which is capable of distinguishing goods and services of one business from those of others. It must be capable of graphical representation and must be applied to goods or services for which it

pos: History of graphic design developed into ever more complex forms of heraldry. A trademark is a distinctive sign or indicator used by an individual, company or other entity to identify its products or services and to distinguish them from those of other producers. A trademark is a type of intellectual property, and typically a name, word, phrase, logo, symbol, design, image, or a combination of these elements. Rebranding means staying relevant as competition heats up and sales start to stagnate. In such circumstances companies often seek to breathe new life into the brand through rebranding. The idea behind it is that the assumptions made

pos: United States trademark law United States trademark law A trademark is a word, phrase, or logo that identifies the source of goods or services. Trademark law protects a business' commercial identity or brand by discouraging other businesses from adopting a name or logo that is "confusingly similar" to an existing trademark. The goal is to allow consumers to easily identify the producers of goods and services and avoid confusion. United States trademark law is mainly governed by the Lanham Act. Common law trademark rights are acquired automatically when a business uses a name or logo in commerce, and are enforceable in state courts. Marks

pos: Intellectual property in Iran a trademark is any type of logo, design, picture, number, letter, word, seal, wrapper, etc. that is adopted to identify and distinguish goods and services. The law provides for registration of various types of marks chosen to identify industrial, commercial or agricultural products and goods. It also provides for registration of service marks. The essential requirement is that the mark presented for registration should be distinctive. Obtaining a court injunction is a proper remedy to prevent the violation of any right secured by patent. This is provided for in the law, and the complainant can seek compensation of any damages

pos: United Kingdom trade mark law United Kingdom trade mark law United Kingdom trade mark law provides protection for the use of trade marks in the UK. A trade mark is a way for one party to distinguish themselves from another. In the business world, a trade mark provides a product or organisation with an identity which cannot be imitated by its competitors. A trade mark can be a name, word, phrase, logo, symbol, design, image, sound, shape, signature or any combination of these elements. In UK law, as in most common law countries other than the United States and Canada, the term is written as

neg: Word sort Students do not need to have strong phonics skills in order to engage in sound sorts. This can be a beginning phonemic awareness activity because students need only to identify the sound in order to complete the sort. Letter knowledge is not required, and phonemic development can mature as students do acquire more print knowledge. Picture sorts are one component of word study and are used to help beginning readers develop Concept of Word, phonological awareness, and phonics. Picture sorts most often begin with focusing on initial sound (single consonant, digraphs, or blends). By using picture sorts teachers are able

The lexicon is a word bank developed by professional taste testers in order to identify an objective, nuanced and cross-cultural word bank for food. Flavor is the sensory impression of food or other substances and is determined primarily by the chemical senses of taste and smell. Flavor is said to be 80 percent aroma, detected primarily through the retronasal smell mechanism. Sight, sound, and touch also impact flavor. The color of a food, sound as one bites

The Lanham Act prohibits "the deceptive and misleading use of marks" to protect business owners "against unfair competition." The Act defines trademarks as "any word, name, symbol, or device or any combination thereof" used by any person "to identify and distinguish his or her goods, including a unique product, from those manufactured or sold by others and to indicate the source of the goods, even if that source is unknown." A trademark is considered "distinctive and capable of being protected" if it "either (1) is inherently distinctive or (2) has

For example, "shrouds" would be read by pronouncing the sounds for each spelling "" and then blending those sounds orally to produce a spoken word, "." The goal of either a blended phonics or synthetic phonics instructional programme is that students identify the sound-symbol correspondences and blend their phonemes automatically. Since 2005, synthetic phonics has become the accepted method of teaching reading (by phonics instruction) in the United Kingdom and Australia. In the US, a pilot

The business was built upon the sound foundation of quality and service at a price, in most instances, below the motion picture producer's own laboratory cost. This low price made possible through the Company's efficient and large-scale operations. In movies and television which used the company's color processing, they were typically only referred to by their initials, the credit usually reading "Color by CFI". For a time in the late eighties, CFI was jokingly

The word is probably derived from the Latin word "caeruleus", "dark blue, blue, or blue-green", which in turn probably derives from "caelulum", diminutive of "caelum", "heaven, sky". Displayed at right is the color air force blue, also known as RAF blue. This is the tone of "air force blue" used by the Royal Air Force, the first air force to choose an "air force blue" color by which to identify itself, in 1920. The color "air force blue" is a medium tone of azure since it has a

neg: Schwa Schwa In linguistics, specifically phonetics and phonology, schwa (, rarely or ; sometimes spelled shwa) is the mid central vowel sound (rounded or unrounded) in the middle of the vowel chart, denoted by the IPA symbol , or another vowel sound close to that position. An example in English is the vowel sound of the 'a' in the word "about". Schwa in English is mainly found in unstressed positions, but in some other languages it occurs more frequently as a stressed vowel. In relation to certain languages, the name "schwa" and the symbol may be used for some other unstressed

neg: Word sort have a responsibility to students they serve to identify their needs and implement instructional strategies to scaffold students’ understandings of sounds. Intervention strategies may be necessary in remediating students who cannot correctly identify sounds in isolation on a given opportunity. Programs like Reading Recovery have contemporary phonemic techniques embedded in the program. Also, books and poems may specifically focus on word families and similar sound patterns for children to identify and understand in context. Sound sorts can be integrated through programs, or very inexpensively through teacher-created materials. For example, students can sort pictures by beginning sound, rhyme, or ending sound.

neg: Bule to attract tourists or foreigners' attention. Because some westerners find the word is insulting, the more cautious of the street vendors use the term "Mister", which foreigners find more polite. As an alternative to 'bule', the adjective 'barat' (Western) may be an alternative. Compare with güero. Bule Bule () is a commonly used word in Indonesia to describe a foreigner, especially people of European descent. It seeks to identify people featuring light hair color, light eye color and pale skin. Some Europeans in Indonesia consider "Bule" derogatory, racist and offensive.

It is a simple tool used to identify a service and can identify services uniquely where required. The Global Service Relation Number (GSRN) is the GS1 Identification Key used to identify the relationship between a service provider and service recipient. The GSRN can identify business relationships between businesses or individuals. It does not identify a business or individual specifically for purposes other than the service being provided and therefore does not raise privacy concerns. In simple terms a company or business will

For example: formula_2 formula_3 formula_4 There are no common element/s on the solution so it should be denoted as: formula_5 or formula_6 Null signs in phonetics is used in lost sounds or morphemes (they are not schwa sounds). A word with a silent sound is denoted by the symbol ∅. Often used in lost morphemes. First used 2000 years ago. It is an invisible affix used by a Sanskrit grammarian in India. Commonly in singular form of nouns,next to the noun. To simplify,∅

Modem software: Slow-scan television Slow Scan television (SSTV) is a picture transmission method used mainly by amateur radio operators, to transmit and receive static pictures via radio in monochrome or color. A literal term for SSTV is narrowband television. Analog broadcast television requires at least 6 MHz wide channels, because it transmits 25 or 30 picture frames per second (in the NTSC, PAL or SECAM color systems),

neg: Color space CIELAB or CIEXYZ color spaces, which were specifically designed to encompass all colors the average human can see. Since "color space" identifies a particular combination of the color model and the mapping function, the word is often used informally to identify a color model. However, even though identifying a color space automatically identifies the associated color model, such a usage is incorrect in a strict sense. For example, although several specific color spaces are based on the RGB color model, there is no such thing as the singular RGB color space. In 1802, Thomas Young postulated the existence of three

Just as with the Eriksen Flanker Task, the response time and accuracy of congruent words is better than those of incongruent words. The third task that is largely focused on is the Simon or spatial compatibility task. In this task, the stimulus, either a word, letter, or symbol, is shown on the right or left side of the computer screen. The participant is

Service mark A service mark or servicemark is a trademark used in the United States and several other countries to identify a service rather than a product. When a service mark is federally registered, the standard registration symbol ® or "Reg U.S. Pat & TM Off" may be used (the same symbol is used to mark registered trademarks). Before it is registered, it is common practice (with some legal standing) to use the service

neg: Livestock branding as “calling the brand“. Brands are called from left to right, top to bottom, and when one character encloses another, from outside to inside. Reading of complex brands and picture brands depends at times upon the owner's interpretation, may vary depending upon location, and it may require an expert to identify some of the more complex marks. Terms used are: Combinations of symbols can be made with each symbol distinct, or: Livestock branding Livestock branding is a technique for marking livestock so as to identify the owner. Originally, livestock branding only referred to hot branding large stock with a branding

Many of the symbol feature on maps of the earth will be shown by straight, curved, dashed, or solid lines. They may also be colored to represent different classes of information. The typical color standard for topographic maps depicts contours in brown, bodies of water in blue, boundaries in black, and grids and roads in red. Topographic maps may use different colors to represent area features. Most topographic maps will use green for vegetation or national parks

neg: Velar nasal Velar nasal The velar nasal, also known as agma, from the Greek word for fragment, is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages. It is the sound of "ng" in English "sing". The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is , and the equivalent X-SAMPA symbol is codice_1. The IPA symbol is similar to , the symbol for the retroflex nasal, which has a rightward-pointing hook extending from the bottom of the right stem, and to , the symbol for the palatal nasal, which has a leftward-pointing hook extending from the bottom of

neg: Luma (video) of a color video—the "prime symbols" ′ denote gamma compression. The word was proposed to prevent confusion between luma as implemented in video engineering and relative luminance as used in color science (i.e. as defined by CIE). Relative luminance is formed as a weighted sum of "linear" RGB components, not gamma-compressed ones. Even so, luma is erroneously called luminance. SMPTE EG 28 recommends the symbol Y′ to denote luma and the symbol Y to denote relative luminance. While luma is more often encountered, relative luminance is sometimes used in video engineering when referring to the brightness of a monitor. The

In order to better identify and differentiate alternate routes from the routes they parallel, some states such as Maryland are beginning to use green shields for business routes off U.S. highways. In addition, Maryland uses a green shield for business routes off state highways with the word "BUSINESS" in place of "MARYLAND". Business Interstate highways use the same four-pointed shield design as regular Interstate highways, but substitute the normal red and blue layout with an all-green color scheme. Also,

neg: Color motion picture film nitrate film copied to black-and-white 35 mm film, which was then scanned into a digital video format by telecine. Finally, digital image processing was used to align and combine each group of three frames into one color image. The result is that the whole world can now view brief motion pictures from 1902 in full color. Practical color in the motion picture business began with Kinemacolor, first demonstrated in 1906. This was a two-color system created in England by George Albert Smith, and promoted by film pioneer Charles Urban's The Charles Urban Trading Company in 1908. It was used for

Stimuli in Stroop paradigms can be divided into 3 groups: neutral, congruent and incongruent. Neutral stimuli are those stimuli in which only the text (similarly to stimuli 1 of Stroop's experiment), or color (similarly to stimuli 3 of Stroop's experiment) are displayed. Congruent stimuli are those in which the ink color and the word refer to the same color

To translate the word "varëa" as a letter is erroneous, because a letter is defined as a written or printed symbol employed to represent a speech-sound. The phonemes, having arisen from Näräyaëa, are eternal whereas the letters used to represent them may vary. For example, before the introduction of printing into India in the eighteenth century, the script in which Sanskrit was written and taught varied from place to place and was the same, or

Kiveve used to be cooked in clay pots. This dish is served as a sweet snack or as a dessert. The name "kiveve" comes from the Guaranitical term for a reddish color. Because the "andai", the main ingredient of the dessert, has a deep orange color, it was given the name "kiveve" (reddish). In fact, in popular slang, the word, "kiveve", is used to identify redheaded people. Kiveve Kiveve is one

Using miscue analysis, a child would be credited for using a word that makes sense, even if such a word does not match the letters in the book. A teacher critical of this approach would note that the child did not use letter-sound correspondence to decode the word, and instead used the picture or context as a way to hypothesize what word makes sense in the text. Such a teacher would work with this child to make sure that he is paying attention to the letter-sound correspondence. Critics of the phonics-based

neg: Ticker symbol sometimes reused. In the US the single-letter symbols are particularly sought after as vanity symbols. For example, since Mar 2008 Visa Inc. has used the symbol V that had previously been used by Vivendi which had delisted and given up the symbol. To fully qualify a stock, both the ticker and the exchange or country of listing needs to be known. On many systems both must be specified to uniquely identify the security. This is often done by appending the location or exchange code to the ticker. Although stock tickers identify a security, they are exchange dependent, generally limited to

It seeks to identify people featuring light hair color, light eye color and pale skin. Some Europeans in Indonesia consider "Bule" derogatory, racist and offensive. It may also be used by Indonesians as a rationale for justifying racist behavior, such as charging higher prices and expecting Bules to all be affluent with a resulting expectation to pay the higher prices. Many dictionaries point out that the strict definition of the word is albino. However, this definition has lost usage in both

For the picture priming task, individuals were presented with an image or video, and then would have to identify a characteristic word that is initially hidden behind a black image and then gradually revealed over a 5 second period of time, by removing pieces of the black image at random. It is the speed at which the individual is able to identify the word which is being tested. As when the characteristic word that is being identified is similar to inferences made from the image or video previously presented, the identification speed increases when compared to cases where

Although the Amiga was originally conceived as a gaming machine, Commodore had always emphasized the Amiga's potential for professional applications. But the Amiga's high-performance sound and graphics were irrelevant for most of the day's MS-DOS-based routine business word-processing and data-processing requirements, and the machine could not successfully compete with PCs in a business market that was rapidly undergoing commoditization. Commodore introduced a range of PC compatible systems designed by its

This is due to the lack of the feminine ordinal indicator () used in Italian in the ASCII set (the masculine ordinal indicator is usually replaced by the degree sign when extended characters are not available or in less accurate typesetting). In social network services such as Twitter, a caret placed before a word is used to tag that word as an individual's signature within a group account thus differentiating an individual's contribution from a group-authored contribution. The caret is also a trademarked symbol for denoting a Single Point of Contact or SPOC. In internet forums,

Hasbro purchased the rights in 1994 after acquiring the games business of Western Publishing before eventually selling the rights to Mattel. The game is played with teams with players trying to identify specific words from their teammates. Each team moves a piece on a game board formed by a sequence of squares. Each square has a letter or shape identifying the type of picture to be drawn on it. The objective is

neg: Cuneiform the distinction between a pictogram and syllabogram became vague. Several symbols had too many meanings to permit clarity. Therefore, symbols were put together to indicate both the sound and the meaning of a compound. The word "Raven" [UGA] had the same logogram as the word "soap" [NAGA], name of a city [EREŠ] and the patron goddess of Eresh [NISABA]. Two phonetic complements were used to define the word [u] in front of the symbol and [gu] behind. Finally the symbol for "bird" [MUŠEN] was added to ensure proper interpretation. Written Sumerian was used as a scribal language until the first

The first color cinematography was by additive color systems such as the one patented by Edward Raymond Turner in 1899 and tested in 1902. A simplified additive system was successfully commercialised in 1909 as Kinemacolor. These early systems used black-and-white film to photograph and project two or more component images through different color filters. Around 1920, the

The term "trademark" is also used informally to refer to any distinguishing attribute by which an individual is readily identified, such as the well-known characteristics of celebrities. When a trademark is used in relation to services rather than products, it may sometimes be called a service mark, particularly in the United States. The essential function of a trademark is to exclusively identify the commercial source or origin of products or services, so a trademark, properly called, "indicates source" or

Introduced by the creator of the relational database model, E. F. Codd, SQL Null serves to fulfil the requirement that all "true relational database management systems (RDBMS)" support a representation of "missing information and inapplicable information". Codd also introduced the use of the lowercase Greek omega (ω) symbol to represent Null in database theory. In SQL, codice_1 is a reserved word used to identify this marker. This should not be confused with a value

neg: Cuneiform sign for the word "arrow" would become the sign for the sound "ti". Words that sounded alike would have different signs; for instance the syllable "gu" had fourteen different symbols. When the words had similar meaning but very different sounds they were written with the same symbol. For instance "tooth" [zu], "mouth" [ka] and "voice" [gu] were all written with the symbol for "voice". To be more accurate, scribes started adding to signs or combining two signs to define the meaning. They used either geometrical patterns or another cuneiform sign. As time went by, the cuneiform got very complex and

The 5th Bomb Wing painted the [[elevator (aircraft)|elevator]]s and [[Rudder#Aircraft rudders|rudder]]s of its B-17s various colors but otherwise maintained its marking scheme. The B-24 wings adopted a method by which color and symbol placement would identify its groups: "47th Bomb Wing": Diagonally divided tail fins and painted the lower half in yellow and/or black, with the 98th BG using horizontal stripes, the 376th BG in black-only, the 449th BG in half-yellow half-black, and the 450th BG in vertical stripes. The former triangle-circle symbol was retained in the upper half. Late in the war

neg: Phonics sound-symbol correspondences. On the other side, some whole language supporters are unyielding in arguing that phonics should be taught little, if at all. The term "phonics" during the 19th century and into the 1970s was used as a synonym of phonetics. The use of the term in reference to the method of teaching is dated to 1901 by the OED. Phonics derives from the Roman text "The Doctrine of Littera", which states that a letter ("littera") consists of a sound ("potestas"), a written symbol ("figura") and a name ("nomen"). This relation between word sound and form is the backbone of

neg: Zinzolin purple. The shift in meaning, from purplish-red to reddish-purple then simply purple, took place in the second half of the 19th century, all the more easily because the word "zinzolin" has a pleasant sound, but remained rare, literary, pretentious and even bizarre. No doubt this should be see in the context of the invention of artificial coloring and the fashion for purples in the 1860s. Zinzolin Zinzolin or gingeolin, is an old or literary color name that once meant a dark red, and today usually means a reddish purple color. It is generally used to describe clothing. The word comes

Stender also called Ūsiņš a bee god. However, there is a conflicting data on Ūsiņš being a bee god. 19th century folklore materials called Ūziņš a bee god, while a horse god – Ūsiņš. In late 19th century R. Auniņš called Ūsiņš the god of light, by explaining with the sound "us", which can also be found in the word – aust (day). Also H. Biezais in his

Word sorts place instructional emphasis on the exploration of patterns that can be detected in the sound, structure, and meaning features of words. Thus, word sorts contribute to orthographic or spelling knowledge, the engine that drives efficient reading as well as efficient writing. There are three different types of word sorts: sound sorts, picture sorts, and word sorts. Sound sorts can take on many forms in a primary classroom and this is essential because sound is the first layer of English orthography. Sound study can

Separate from the legal issues raised by fanfiction’s interaction with copyright law, legal issues may also develop from United States trademark law. Current federal trademark law follows the Lanham Act, otherwise known as the Trademark Act of 1946. Under the Lanham Act, a trademark is "any word, term, name, symbol, or device, or any combination thereof" used in commerce to identify a service or good. Under this definition, it is possible for the names and likenesses of television, film and book characters, fictional settings, or other elements of entertainment products to act as

Common Intermediate Format CIF ("Common Intermediate Format" or "Common Interchange Format"), also known as FCIF ("Full Common Intermediate Format"), is a standardized format for the picture resolution, frame rate, color space, and color subsampling of digital video sequences used in video teleconferencing systems. It was first defined in the H.261 standard in 1988. As the word "common" in its name implies, CIF was designed as a common compromise format to be relatively easy to convert for use either with PAL or NTSC standard

neg: Pink The word pink is not used for any tincture (color) in heraldry, but there are two fairly uncommon tinctures which are both close to pink: Pink is used for the newsprint paper of several important newspapers devoted to business and sports, and the color is also connected with the press aimed at the gay community. Since 1893 the London "Financial Times" newspaper has used a distinctive salmon pink color for its newsprint, originally because pink dyed paper was less expensive than bleached white paper. Today the color is used to distinguish the newspaper from competitors on a press kiosk or

In Old Occitan, the symbol · was sometimes used to denote certain elisions, much like the modern apostrophe, the only difference being that the word that gets to be elided is always placed after the interpunct, the word before ending either in a vowel sound or the letter "n": In many linguistic works discussing Old Irish (but not in actual Old Irish manuscripts), the interpunct is used to separate a pretonic preverbal element from the stressed syllable of the verb, e.g. "gives". It is also used in citing the

One of the most common hieroglyphs, snake, was used in Egyptian writing to stand for a sound like the English , because the Egyptian word for "snake" was "djet". It is speculated by many that Semitic people working in Egypt adapted hieroglyphics to create the first alphabet, and that they used the same snake symbol to represent N, because their word for "snake" may have begun with that sound. However, the name for the letter in the Phoenician, Hebrew, Aramaic

neg: Rouge (cosmetics) Today, rouge is a term used to primarily identify blush of any color, including: brown, pink, red, and orange. It is not commonly used to identify lipstick, however, some may use the term to refer to the red color of the product. When the fashion trend of matching lipsticks with nail polish took hold and the color range of lipstick increased, people no longer used the term to identify lip color. The shade range for blush generally remained limited, keeping the name rouge. Blush currently comes in the form of a cream, liquid, powder, or gel. Rouge (cosmetics) Rouge (;

For full spelling, the "niqqudot" (the "dots") is simply omitted, if partial vowelling is desired, especially for letters like Vav, then the niqqudot is retained. The picture of the "O" represents whatever Hebrew letter is used. The following are special cases for vowels at the beginning or end of a word. "O", "U", or "I" sound different at the beginning of a word, because they have no consonants before them. Therefore, Vav and Yud, by themselves, would be assumed to be their

neg: Prostitution by phone, or in recent years, through email or the internet. Correctly or not, use of the word "prostitute" without specifying a sex may commonly be assumed to be female; compound terms such as "male prostitution" or "male escort" are therefore often used to identify males. Those offering services to female customers are commonly known as "gigolos"; those offering services to male customers are "hustlers" or "rent boys". Organizers of prostitution may be known as "pimps" (if male) and "madams" or "Mama-san" (if female). More formally, one who is said to practice procuring is a "procurer", or "procuress". Clients of

Coffee bean color sorter machine prepared with track type CCD color sorter, high chromatic CCD sensor help to identify different colors (blue, green, red and other colors) precisely. The final step in the cleaning and sorting procedure is called color sorting, or separating defective beans from sound beans on the basis of color rather than density or size. Color sorting is the trickiest and perhaps most important of all the steps in sorting and cleaning. With most high-quality coffees color sorting is

neg: Electronic color code The insulation of the wire may be solidly colored, or where more combinations are needed, one or two tracer stripes may be added. Some wiring color codes are set by national regulations, but often a color code is specific to a manufacturer or industry. Building wiring under the US National Electrical Code and the Canadian Electrical Code is identified by colors to show energized and neutral conductors, grounding conductors and to identify phases. Other color codes are used in the UK and other areas to identify building wiring or flexible cable wiring. Mains electrical wiring, both in a building and

neg: Paping Paping Paping (pronounced pah ping) is a computer network administration utility used to test the reachability of a host on an Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) network and to measure the time it takes to connect to a specified port. The name is a play on the word ping, another computer network administration utility. Because ICMP can be used to identify the operating system of a remote machine, it is sometimes blocked. If ICMP is blocked, ping cannot be used to identify if the service is responding. Publicly available services must keep their relevant TCP or UDP ports open, paping can attempt

Some scholars used the obelus and various other critical symbols, in conjunction with a second symbol known as the "metobelos" ("end of obelus"), variously represented as two vertically arranged dots, a γ-like symbol, a mallet-like symbol, or a diagonal slash (with or without one or two dots). They indicated the end of a marked passage. It was used much in the same way by later scholars to mark differences between various translations or versions of the Bible and other manuscripts. The early Christian Alexandrian scholar Origen (c. 184–253 AD) used it to indicate

Mauve Mauve (, ) is a dark purple colour named after the mallow flower (French: "mauve"). The first use of the word "mauve" as a colour was in 1796–98 according to the "Oxford English Dictionary", but its use seems to have been rare before 1859. Another name for the colour is mallow, with the first recorded use of "mallow" as a color name in English in 1611. Mauve contains more grey

Germanic neopagan groups who use the triquetra to symbolise their faith generally believe it is originally of Norse and Germanic origins. The symbol is also sometimes used by wiccans and some new agers to symbolise the Triple Goddess, or as a protective symbol. The triquetra is often used artistically as a design element when Celtic knotwork is used. Many who identify as modern Celts may use the symbol to display an identification with

neg: Initial sound table Initial sound table An initial sound table is a table, list or chart which shows the initial sound letter of a word together with its picture (pictured words). The initial sound table can assist students to recognise initial sounds and to get first reading and writing skills. In 1658 John Amos Comenius created an initial sound table in Orbis Pictus (a picture book intended for children). "Alternative names:" initial sound list, initial sound chart, initial sound alphabet, alphabet chart, alphabet picture chart In the German-speaking countries, language experience is often based on children's writing of stories that involves invented spellings

neg: Hosting environment Hosting environment Hosting environment is a term used in telecommunication and Internet businesses. Hosting is a relatively new form of business between a vendor and a telecom operator. The vendor normally sells equipment and services to a telecom operator. The equipment and services sold are used to provide a consumer service, like picture mail or download of ring back tones. Due to the changing telecommunications business and a burst of a very large number of new consumer services, new business models are being created. The common two are revenue share and managed service hosting. This is where the term Hosting

neg: Multitier architecture subdivided to emphasize additional sublayers of distinct responsibility. For example, if the Model View Presenter pattern is used, the presenter sublayer might be used as an additional layer between the user interface layer and the business/application layer (as represented by the model sublayer). Some also identify a separate layer called the business infrastructure layer (BI), located between the business layer(s) and the infrastructure layer(s). It's also sometimes called the "low-level business layer" or the "business services layer". This layer is very general and can be used in several application tiers (e.g. a CurrencyConverter). The infrastructure layer can be partitioned into

neg: Near-close back rounded vowel Near-close back rounded vowel The near-close back rounded vowel, or near-high back rounded vowel, is a type of vowel sound, used in some vocal languages. The IPA symbol that represents this sound is . It is informally called "horseshoe u". Prior to 1989, there was an alternate IPA symbol for this sound, , called "closed omega"; use of this symbol is no longer sanctioned by the IPA. In Americanist phonetic notation, the symbol (a small capital U) is used. Sometimes, especially in broad transcription, this vowel is transcribed with a simpler symbol , which technically represents the close back rounded

neg: Internegative Internegative An internegative is a motion picture film duplicate. It is the color counterpart to an interpositive, in which a low-contrast color image is used as the positive between an original camera negative and a duplicate negative. After a film is shot, the original negatives—taken directly from the camera equipment—are edited into correct sequence and printed onto fresh stock as a cohesive film, creating an interpositive print used for color timing. From the interpositive, answer prints, which include the color-corrected imagery and a properly synced sound track, are made. Once approved by the studio, the final answer print is made

neg: Dental click Dental click Dental (or more precisely denti-alveolar) clicks are a family of click consonants found, as constituents of words, only in Africa and in the Damin ritual jargon of Australia. The "tut-tut!" (British spelling, "tutting") or "tsk! tsk!" (American spelling, "tsking") sound used to express disapproval or pity is a dental click, although, in this context, it is not a phoneme (a sound component of a larger word). The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents the place of articulation of these sounds is , a vertical bar. Prior to 1989, was the IPA letter for the dental clicks.

neg: Ideogram represented iconically, but most other words are represented using the rebus principle, borrowing a symbol for a similarly-sounding word. Later systems used selected symbols to represent the sounds of the language, for example the adaptation of the logogram for "ʾālep" "ox" as the letter aleph representing the initial sound of the word, a glottal stop. Many signs in hieroglyphic as well as in cuneiform writing could be used either logographically or phonetically. For example, the Akkadian sign AN () could be an ideograph for "deity", an ideogram for the god Anum in particular, a logograph for the Akkadian stem "il-"

neg: Common Intermediate Format Common Intermediate Format CIF ("Common Intermediate Format" or "Common Interchange Format"), also known as FCIF ("Full Common Intermediate Format"), is a standardized format for the picture resolution, frame rate, color space, and color subsampling of digital video sequences used in video teleconferencing systems. It was first defined in the H.261 standard in 1988. As the word "common" in its name implies, CIF was designed as a common compromise format to be relatively easy to convert for use either with PAL or NTSC standard displays and cameras. CIF defines a video sequence with a resolution of 352 × 288, which has

neg: On (Japanese prosody) On (Japanese prosody) The term On (rarely "Onji") refers to counting phonetic sounds in Japanese poetry. In the Japanese language, the word ""on"" (音) means "sound". It is used to mean the phonetic units counted in haiku, tanka, and other such poetic forms. Known as "morae" to English-speaking linguists, the modern Japanese term for the linguistic concept is either "haku" () or "mōra" (). Ji (字) is Japanese for "symbol" or "character". The concatenation of the two words ""on"" and ""ji"" into ""onji"" (音字) was used by Meiji era grammarians to mean "phonic character" and was translated into English by

neg: Family in advertising such as Japan, continue to present the family stereotypically, especially in their television advertisements. In the past decade, however, many advertising agencies have begun to more accurately capture reality and the diversity of lifestyles and family types of consumers. 'Family' is a popular symbol in commercial advertising that is commonly used to persuade audiences into consuming one's business' goods or services over a competitors. Consequently, the symbol of family as used in advertisements is "functional" – it both increases profit and builds a positive reputation among customers. The family symbol functions on three levels of persuasion: social, psychological, and personal.

neg: Yinzer Yinzer Yinzer is a 20th-century term playing on the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, second-person plural vernacular "yinz." The word is used among people who identify themselves with the city of Pittsburgh and its traditions. "Yinzer" (or "Yunzer") was historically used to identify the typical blue-collar people from the Pittsburgh region who often spoke with a heavy Pittsburghese accent. The term stems from the word "yinz" (or "yunz"), a second-person plural pronoun, brought to the area by early Scots-Irish immigrants. Over time, "yinzer" has been used by many Pittsburgh residents to self-identify, even if they didn't speak with a thick accent. The concept

neg: Watermark have been developed, such as "watermark fluid" that wets the paper without damaging it. A watermark is very useful in the examination of paper because it can be used for dating, identifying sizes, mill trademarks and locations, and determining the quality of a sheet of paper. The word is also used for digital practices that share similarities with physical watermarks. In one case, overprint on computer-printed output may be used to identify output from an unlicensed trial version of a program. In another instance, identifying codes can be encoded as a digital watermark for a music, video, picture, or other

neg: Cochineal "berry yielding scarlet dye". See also the related word "kermes" which is the source of a similar but weaker Mediterranean dye also called crimson, which was used to color cloth red before discovery of cochineal in the New World. Some sources identify the Spanish source word for cochineal as "cochinilla" "wood louse" (a diminutive form of Spanish "cochino", cognate with French "cochon", meaning "pig")." Cochineal dye was used by the Aztec and Maya peoples of North and Central America.

The shares traded is the volume for the trade being quoted. Price traded refers to the price per share of a particular trade. Change direction is a visual cue showing whether the stock is trading higher or lower than the previous trade, hence the terms "downtick" and "uptick". Change amount refers to the difference in price from the previous day’s closing. Many today include color to indicate whether

neg: Tag system on the right. Thus, the system processes the m-symbol head into a tail of variable length, but the generated tail depends solely on the first symbol of the head. A "computation" by a tag system is a finite sequence of words produced by iterating the transformation "t", starting with an initially given word and halting when a halting word is produced. (By this definition, a computation is not considered to exist unless a halting word is produced in finitely-many iterations. Alternative definitions allow nonhalting computations, for example by using a special subset of the alphabet to identify words that encode

Some examples of likely victims are credit card issuers, insurance companies, retail merchants, manufacturers, business-to-business suppliers and even services providers. A predictive model can help weed out the "bads" and reduce a business's exposure to fraud. Predictive modeling can also be used to identify high-risk fraud candidates in business or the public sector. Mark Nigrini developed a risk-scoring method to identify audit targets. He describes the use of this approach to detect fraud

"Another type of writing system with systematic syllabic linear symbols, the abugidas, is discussed below as well. As logographic writing systems use a single symbol for an entire word, a "syllabary" is a set of written symbols that represent (or approximate) syllables, which make up words. A symbol in a syllabary typically represents a consonant sound followed by a vowel sound, or just a vowel alone. In a "true syllabary", there is no systematic graphic similarity

Though most of the pattern is removed from PAL and NTSC-encoded signals with a comb filter (designed to segregate the two signals where the luma spectrum may overlap into the spectral space used by the chroma) by modern displays, some can still be left in certain parts of the picture. Such parts are usually sharp edges on the picture, sudden color or brightness changes along the picture or certain repeating patterns, such as a

neg: Transit map used to identify stations that allow transfer to other modes, such as commuter or intercity train services. With the widespread use of zone pricing for fare calculation, systems that span more than one zone need a system to inform the use which zone a particular station is located in. Common ways include varying the tone of the background color, or by running a weak line along the zone boundaries. Many transit authorities publish multiple maps of their systems; this can be done by isolating one mode of transport, for instance only rapid transit or only bus, onto a single map,
