(Action films have tremendous impact, continuous high energy, lots of physical stunts and activity, possibly extended chase scenes, races, rescues, battles, martial arts, mountains and mountaineering, destructive disasters (floods, explosions, natural disasters, fires, etc.), fights, escapes, non-stop motion, spectacular rhythm and pacing, and adventurous heroes - all designed for pure audience escapism with the action sequences at the core of the film; The main action centers around a male action hero or protagonist; Adventure films are exciting stories, with new experiences or exotic locales. Adventure films are very similar to the action film genre, in that they are designed to provide an action-filled, energetic experience for the film viewer. Rather than the predominant emphasis on violence and fighting that is found in action films, however, the viewer of adventure films can live vicariously through the travels, conquests, explorations, creation of empires, struggles and situations that confront the main characters, actual historical figures or protagonists)

Also called a terrain model or relief model) relief model (1. a model of the whole or part of the Earth's surface; 2. a representation, to scale in three dimensions, of a section of the crust of the Earth or of another celestial body. A relief model made primarily to display features on the Earth's surface is sometimes called a topographic model; 3. SEE map, relief)
Metsker Maps of Seattle website, Aug. 31, 2011:
Raised Relief Maps (Raised relief maps, or three dimensional (3D) topographical maps are a great visual and practical aid for gaining a better understanding of any geographical area. Using vinyl molds, raised relief maps are able to easily illustrate changes in elevation and other topographic information.)
Characteristics (Cartographic terrain or relief models are three-dimensional representations of a part of the earth's surface. Only with terrain models it is possible to entirely depict the third dimension. Particularly on large-scale models, a huge amount of topographic details and information can be shown. ... In the early time of topographic relief depiction, terrain models were the easiest way to see the world from the bird's eye view and the only one, where the observer could choose his position freely.) {http://www.terrainmodels.com/}

Raised Relief Maps (raised relief maps; raised maps)
Raised Relief Maps (Raised Relief Maps present a dramatic visual and tactile representation of a desired geographical area. Sometimes referred to as three dimensional maps, most incorporate shaded relief to enhance topographic diversity.)
Raised-relief map (A raised-relief map or terrain model is a three-dimensional representation, usually of terrain. When representing terrain, the elevation dimension is usually exaggerated by a factor between five and ten; this facilitates the visual recognition of terrain features. Construction: Starting with a topographic map one can cut out from some sheet material successive layers, with edges following the contour lines on the map. These may be assembled in a stack to obtain a rough approximation of the terrain. This method, without vertical exaggeration, is commonly used as the base for architectural models. For models of landforms, the stack will then be smoothed by filling with some material. This may then be used directly or for greater durability a mold may be made from this. This mold may then be used to produce a plaster model. Vacuum formed models: By using automated machinery a topographic model may be made by cutting a form with a numerically controlled mill guided by interpretation of the data used to produce a topographic map, The map may then be printed on a sheet of thermoplastic, which is then heated and drawn over the master. Vacuum is then applied to draw the soft plastic into the shape of the form. Such maps are commonly available in specialty map stores.)

Romantic comedies (Motion pictures)
(Romantic comedy. This is a blanket term that includes any comic film in which the protagonists, a man and a woman, engage in courtship, amorous dalliance and sexual games meant to seduce and entrap the member of the opposite sex. Romantic comedies are constructed around the ups and downs of a couple's relationship--the initial antagonism, the misunderstandings, the bouts of jealousy, the conflicts of interest, until all is well at the end of the film. The following types of comedy also qualify as romantic comedy: Marriage comedy, Screwball comedy, Sophisticated comedy)
Konigsberg, I. The complete film dictionary, 1997
(Romantic comedy. A film dealing with the relationship of a man and woman, who, after many trials and tribulations caused by their own misunderstandings, a number of obstacle figures, or both, are finally united at the end of the film. A slight variation on this theme is the couple who start off united, are temporarily separated, but are reunited at the end of the film. In both cases, it is crucial that the attraction between the two is evident and that their trials and tribulations be treated in a comic manner. Romantic comedy has sometimes been thought of as synonymous with screwball comedy, but the second classification refers to a group of films too specific to be so all-inclusive. A number of romantic comedies have heroines less aggressive or actions less madcap so that they are distinguishable from the screwball variety.)

They are well-known in the West, mainly through the films of Akira Kurosawa and the master characterizations of Toshiro Mifune; relies on swordsmanship as the essential ingredient of the genre)
(samurai cinema: in Japan the term chanbara, also spelled chambara, is used for this genre; subcategory of jidaigeki, which equates to period drama; historically, the genre is usually set in the Tokugawa era (1600-1868) and focuses on the end of an entire way of life for the samurai)
Japanese entertainment glossary of terms, via WWW, Aug. 3, 2010
(chanbara/chambara - refers to a specific sub-genre of the jidaigeki drama. A drama series focusing on sword fighting, kendo or samurai, which was made popular during the 1940's through 1960's. Normally, you would not use chanbara when referencing period Japanese dramas. Instead, jidaigeki drama would be the more appropriate name when applying to Japanese dramas. Unfortunately, many web sites misspell the romaji as chambara, but when used with that form of spelling, everyone knows what it means.)

(the term should be Screwball comedies and this will be changed in a new ed. of the genre terms; Populist comedies (listed as a UF under Sophisticated comedies) are a different genre)
(screwball comedy: A type of film comedy prominent during the 1930s and a product of the Depression period. These films were an escape from reality, offering gay and attractive characters behaving with abandon and freedom in a rich and glamourous world, one filled with eccentric though nonthreatening comic figures; but also presenting a nonvitriolic satire against the idle and not-so-idle rich, often concluded by the successful bonding of a wealthy heroine and a middle-class hero)
The moving image genre-form guide, via WWW, Jan. 29, 2004
(Screwball comedy: Fictional work in which the plot normally focuses on a comic battle of the sexes between an eccentric, well-to-do female and a generally passive or weak male. They are caught up in a romantic pursuit or patching up a marriage, with romantic love triumphing in the end. The heroine is often the only one aware of romance until the male's resistance is overcome. The characters behave in wacky manner and the dialogue is fast paced and witty. Note: Not necessary to include the term Romance, since that is implied by Screwball comedy; Sophisticated comedy: Fictional work marked by witty and sophisticated dialogue, centering on marital and romantic relationships, and finding humor in the lives and activities of the rich and urbane.

Singing cowboy films
This heading is used as a genre/form heading for films that feature a non-violent, singing cowboy hero.
Moving image genre-form guide online, Dec. 5, 2007:
(Singing cowboy: fictional Western, usually lasting from sixty to eighty minutes, in which the standard formula is carried out in a more light-hearted, sometimes perfunctory way. The concentration is usually on ranch life, and the setting is often in the present or in an ambiguous time, rather than the more typical Western period of the late 19th century. The hero is a non-violent cowboy who is pure of heart, and behaves and dresses in a more elegant manner than most non-singing cowboys. The distinguishing aspect of the Singing cowboy from the Western is that the hero's vocal and musical skills are as important as his gunslinging. The two elements are fully integrated, and the plot periodically pauses, in the manner of a musical, to allow interludes for songs and production numbers, usually five to ten in each film. Music and action are blended in a manner to broaden the potential audience beyond western fans. Since the stars often play themselves, the films frequently contain a large measure of reflexivity, mixing their involvement in the entertainment industry and western exploits. The genre was most popular from the mid 1930s, with the emergence of Gene Autry and Roy Rogers, into the early 1950s. Note: Do not use for westerns that merely contain a few songs, sung by a secondary character. For a musical of a different nature with a western background, use Musical in conjunction with Western)

This heading is used as a genre/form heading for films that employ symbolism, juxtaposition of unlike objects, dream-like sequences, etc., to allow the viewer's subconscious to make free associations.
(Surrealist: work following the Surrealist art movement aesthetic of allowing the subconscious to make free associations with images and content. Surrealist work is similar to Dada in that at times both juxtapose seemingly nonsensical images and vignettes, giving the appearance of spontaneity. However, while Dada is rooted in visual and verbal "puns" used for the sake of their own enjoyment and absurdity, Surrealist works use this technique to explore social and political issues)
(Surrealist Film (Surrealism). Surrealism is a movement that seeks to expand reality, to attain a supra-reality...and thus free man from the constraints exerted by society and convention...it focuses on the workings of the subconscious, the power of dreams...Surrealist films are laden with symbols...among the many techniques used by Surrealist filmmakers are the juxtaposition of different objects that one would not associate with each other and the lack of conscious logic in the imagery)
Dada and surrealist film, 1996, via Google books, viewed Aug. 10, 2011:
p. 10 ("The difference between Dada and Surrealist films ... lies in their different strategies of defamiliarizing social reality. Surrealist filmmakers largely rely on conventional cinematography (narratives, optical realism, characters) as a means to draw the viewer into the reality produced by the film. The incoherent, non-narrative, illogical nature of Dada films, which constantly defamiliarize the familiar world through cinematic manipulations, never let the viewer enter the world of the film.")
(listed as subcategory under Surrealist Film (Surrealism): Dada (Dadaism): artistic and literary movement that rejected form and traditional art; believed in "accidental" creation, automatic writing and drawing and the use of ready-mades for exhibition as works of art; it produced few filmic manifestations, the movement being superseded by the more vigorous and optimistic surrealist venture.)

(Flow maps in cartography are by definition of Phan (2005) "a mix of maps and flow charts, that show the movement of objects from one location to another, such as the number of people in a migration, the amount of goods being traded, or the number of packets in a network." Flow maps according to Harris (1999) "can be used to show movement of almost anything, including tangible things such as people, products, natural resources, weather, etc, as well as intangible things such as know-how, talent, credit of goodwill." Flow maps can indicate things like: * What it is that flows, moves, migrates, etc. * What direction the flow is moving and/or what the source and destination are. * How much is flowing, being transferred, transported, etc. * General information about what is flowing and how it is flowing.)

In its original meaning, burlesque signified a comedy that parodied its original source. Burlesque eventually also came to denote "leg shows" or acts that focused on a woman's body and featured scantily-clad women, often in the act of undressing. The films in this collection do not represent the full range of burlesque on the variety stage ... Still, filmmakers took burlesque subjects as their inspiration and captured burlesque performers)

Mental maps
(mental maps: A mental map can best be explained as a visual display, inside a person's head, showing where a person has traveled. A mental map shows what the person knows about the location and the uniqueness of a place. No mental map is alike. Every human has his or her own mental map.)
National geographic xpeditions archive WWW site, July 10, 2012:
(To be geographically informed, a person must keep in mind a lot of information about people, places, and environments and must be able to organize this information in the appropriate spatial context. A very effective way of doing this is to create and use what can be called "mental maps." Such a map is an individual's internalized representation of some aspect or aspects of Earth's surface. Mental maps have several distinguishing characteristics: Mental maps are personal and idiosyncratic and are usually a mixture of both objective knowledge and subjective perceptions. They contain objective and precise knowledge about the location of geographic features, such as continents, countries, cities, mountain ranges, and oceans. They also contain more subjective and less precise information, such as impressions of places, rough estimates of relative size, shape, and location, and a general sense of certain connections between places as well as priorities that reflect the mapmaker's own predilections. Mental maps are used in some form by all people throughout their lives. Such maps enable people to know what routes to take when traveling, comprehend what others say or write about various places, and develop an understanding of the world.)

(Noh (Japanese: Nō), or Nogaku (Japanese: Nōgaku)--derived from the Sino-Japanese word for "skill" or "talent"--is a major form of classical Japanese musical drama that has been performed since the 14th century. Many characters are masked, with men playing male and female roles. Traditionally, a Noh "performance day" lasts all day and consists of five Noh plays interspersed with shorter, humorous kyōgen pieces. However, present-day Noh performances often consist of two Noh plays)
Waley, A. The nō plays of Japan, 1921, via WWW, viewed Jan. 28, 2012:
introd. (Nō as we have it today dates from about the middle of the 14th century; the plays are written partly in prose, partly in verse. The prose portions serve much the same purpose as the iambics in a Greek play. They are in the Court or upper-class colloquial of the 14th century, a language not wholly dead today, as it is still the language in which people write formal letters.)
Cuddon, J.A. A dictionary of literary terms and literary theory, 1998
(Nō (Noh). This form of Japanese drama evolved in the 14th c., probably from ritual dances associated with Shinto worship. They were lyric dramas (there are believed to be about three in all) and were intended for aristocratic audiences. They therefore differed from the 'popular' kabuki. The form became fixed in the 17th c. Nō plays are presented on a square stage; balcony at one side accommodating a chorus of ten singers; usually between two and six actors; all the actors (except the man playing waki) usually wear masks and elaborate costumes and they chant in low or high-pitched voices to a musical accompaniment; women never act in it and men take the female roles; Nō drama has had some influence in the West; Sturge Moore wrote some Nō plays; Ezra Pound and Fenollosa adapted some)

Resolution (law) (A resolution is a written motion adopted by a deliberative body. The substance of the resolution can be anything that can normally be proposed as a motion. For long or important motions, though, it is often better to have them written out so that discussion is easier or so that it can be distributed outside of the body after its adoption. An alternate term for a resolution is a resolve. Resolutions are commonly used in corporations and houses of legislature. ... In corporations, a written resolution is especially useful in the case of the board of directors of a corporation, which usually needs to give its consent to real estate purchases or sales by the corporation. ... Houses of a legislature often adopt non-binding resolutions. However, a legislature also uses resolutions to exercise one of its binding powers that isn't a lawmaking power. For example, the United States Congress declares war or proposes constitutional amendments by adopting a joint resolution. A house of a legislature can also use a resolution to exercise its specific powers, as the British House of Commons does to elect its Speaker or as the United States House of Representatives does to impeach an officer of the government.)
United Nations resolution (A United Nations resolution (UN resolution) is a formal text adopted by a United Nations (UN) body. Although any UN body can issue resolutions, in practice most resolutions are issued by the Security Council or the General Assembly. Legal status: Most experts consider most General Assembly resolutions to be non-binding. Articles 10 and 14 of the UN Charter refer to General Assembly as "recommendations"; the recommendatory nature of General Assembly resolutions has repeatedly been stressed by the International Court of Justice. However, some General Assembly resolutions dealing with matters internal to the United Nations, such as budgetary decisions or instructions to lower-ranking organs, are clearly binding on their addressees. Under Article 25 of the Charter, UN member states are bound to carry out "decisions of the Security Council in accordance with the present Charter". Resolutions made under Chapter VII are considered binding, but resolutions under Chapter VI have no enforcement mechanisms and are generally considered to have no binding force under international law. In 1971, however, a majority of the then International Court of Justice (ICJ) members asserted in the non-binding Namibia advisory opinion that all UN Security Council resolutions are legally binding. This assertion by the ICJ has been countered by Erika De Wet and others. De Wet argues that Chapter VI resolutions cannot be binding. ... In practice, the Security Council does not consider its decisions outside Chapter VII to be binding. It has been proposed that a binding triad of conditions--a supermajority of the number of nations voting, whose populations and contributions in dues to the UN budget form a majority of the total--make a General Assembly resolution binding on all nations; the proposal has gone nowhere. Types: resolutions can be classified upon from which organ they originate, e.g.: United Nations General Assembly resolutions; United Nations Security Council resolutions)
Corporate resolution (A corporate resolution is a corporate action, sometimes in the form of a legal document, that will be voted on or has been voted on at a meeting of the board of directors for a corporation. The resolution could also be in the form of a "corporate action" which has the same binding effect as an action taken at a duly called meeting. For a corporate action, if allowed by state law and by the bylaws of the corporation, the board of directors may use a written document to waive formal notice of a meeting and unanimously consent to a resolution.)

Work cat.: Shampoo (Motion picture). Shampoo [VR], c1991.
Shampoo (film) (Shampoo is a 1975 satirical film written by Robert Towne and directed by Hal Ashby.) Satire (Satire is primarily a literary genre or form, although in practice it can also be found in the graphic and performing arts. In satire, vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, ideally with the intent of shaming individuals, and society itself, into improvement. Although satire is usually meant to be funny, its greater purpose is often constructive social criticism, using wit as a weapon. Satire is nowadays found in many artistic forms of expression, including literature, plays, commentary, and media such as lyrics; The film The Great Dictator (1940) by Charlie Chaplin is a satire on Adolf Hitler; The film Dr. Strangelove from 1964 was a popular satire on the Cold War)
(Satire (Satirical Comedy, Satirical Film, Satiric Comedy). Satire seeks to make us aware of human faults and follies by ridiculing them. It casts an eye on society and its institutions and tries to expose wickedness, abuses of power and infringements of human rights and dignity. Straight satire is a continuous flow of scathing humor and caustic wit. It often uses exaggeration and fantastic occurrences to make its point. The most common types of satire are social satire, political satire and religious satire. Quite often, satire uses the vehicle of black comedy, science fiction or fable for its outer form of presentation. Parody and satire are sometimes confused. When the object of satire is a single individual rather than society, the term lampoon is often used. Examples: Modern Times; Animal Farm; A King in New York; Welcome to L.A.; Being There; Deal of the Century; The Act; Repo Man; Brazil; Down and Out in Beverly Hills; Salvation!)

Many characters are masked, with men playing male and female roles. Traditionally, a Noh "performance day" lasts all day and consists of five Noh plays interspersed with shorter, humorous kyōgen pieces. However, present-day Noh performances often consist of two Noh plays) with one Kyōgen play in between.)
introd. (Nō as we have it to-day dates from about the middle of the 14th century; the plays are written partly in prose, partly in verse. The prose portions serve much the same purpose as the iambics in a Greek play. They are in the Court or upper-class colloquial of the 14th century, a language not wholly dead to-day, as it is still the language in which people write formal letters.)

Two types of geodatabase implementations are available: personal geodatabases and multiuser geodatabases.)
geodatabases explored (A geodatabase is a database that is in some way referenced to locations on the earth. Coupled with this data is usually data known as attribute data. Attribute data generally defined as additional information, which can then be tied to spatial data. Geodatabases are grouped into two different types: vector and raster. Most GIS software applications mainly focus on the usage and manipulation of vector geodatabases with added components to work with raster-based geodatabases.)
Object-oriented representation, via WWW (PDF), June 16, 2004
(An example of object-oriented (OO) data models is the geodatabase data model developed by Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (ESRI). The geodatabase model, shorthand for "geographic database," uses standard relational database technology and supports a model of topologically integrated feature classes. Much like the file-based coverage model, the geodatabase model consists of a storage mechanism for geographic data and a series of data access components.)

Generally, regardless of what happens in any given episode, the characters remain in the same relationships and position as they were before, and much of the humor derives from this predictability. The characters seldom change, and react in an expected manner to whatever challenges them, and generally the overall tenor of the shows is upbeat, expecting a happy, satisfying resolution. Everyday life is often an important element, and as a result, although the setting could be almost anywhere, most situation comedies are set in the home or workplace)

v. 9, p. 173 (Italian "spaghetti Westerns") p. 177 ("demystifying strain injected into the [Western] genre during the sixties by the Italian 'spaghetti Westerns'")
(the majority of Italian Westerns are coproductions filmed in Spain with one or more countries as copartners in the production ... coproducing countries are mainly Spain, Germany and France)
Nudge, J. Spaghetti westerns, 1998 via WWW, Aug. 30, 2007:
(between 1960 and 1975 European film production companies made nearly 600 westerns; most financed by Italian film companies; now term Spaghetti Western is applied to any Western made and financed by continental filmmakers)
(Spaghetti Western, also known as Italo-Western, is a nickname for a broad sub-genre of Western films that emerged in the mid-1960s in the wake of Sergio Leone's unique and much copied film-making style and international box-office success, so named by American critics because most were produced and directed by Italians. The term for these films in Italy is western all'italiana (Italian-Style Western); British critics tended to use the label Continental Western to describe these films, and the phrase 'Spaghetti Western' according to actor Aldo Sambrell was originally created by Italian journalist Alfonso Sancha as a derogatory name for this group of films, but has over time become accepted by fans of the films. The language in which the movies were originally released was Italian as well, but as most of the films featured multilingual casts and sound was invariably post-synched, most Westerns all'Italiana do not have an official dominant language. As many of these films were shot in Spain they were also called paella westerns.)

Note: Not necessary to also use Documentary, since that is implied by the term Sponsored. Use Company promotion for commercial-length sponsored work that promote the sponsoring entity or industry.)

Ray used collage techniques in his films, spreading materials on the emulsion and then processing the film for whatever results occurred (Le retour à la raison, 1923; Emak Bakia, 1927). The early free-flowing, rhythmic films of René Clair were also inspired by the playful interests of the Dada movement)

(Dada: Work following the Dada art movement aesthetic of juxtaposing seemingly nonsensical or unrelated images and vignettes, giving the appearance of spontaneous thought without necessarily having a deep "meaning." Such work often uses trick photography. Example: Entr'acte)
Turvey, M. Dada between Heaven and Hell : abstraction and universal language in the rhythm films of Hans Richter, in October, summer 2003, via WWW, viewed Aug. 10, 2011:
pp. 13-14 ("... examining why Hans Richter believed the films he made in the early 1920s, Rhythm 21 (1921), Rhythm 23 (1923), and Rhythm 25 (1924), to be Dadaist. The status of these films as Dadaist has always been somewhat uncertain, because they are very different from the canonical Dadaist film, René Clair and Picabia's Entr'acte (1923). Entr'acte is considered by most commentators to be the quintessential Dadaist film due to its parodic subversion of narrative structure, its mocking of high art forms such as ballet and other "bourgeois" phenomena (funerals), and its mimicking of irrational mental processes. Certainly, it is the film most often privileged in commentaries on Dadaist film.")
Ballet Mécanique (Ballet Mécanique (1924) was a project by the American composer George Antheil and the filmmaker/artists Fernand Léger and Dudley Murphy; Ballet Mécanique was originally written to accompany a Dadaist film of the same name, directed by Dudley Murphy and Fernand Léger, with cinematography by Man Ray)

(Film Exhibitions: Dada on Film, June 24-September 4, 2006. "Dada was a provocative and irreverent art movement, founded in Switzerland in the early twentieth century, in which a seemingly chaotic, spontaneous, and pessimistic aesthetic influenced painting, sculpture, theater, literature, and film. The movement's name is a willfully nonsensical word, intended to punctuate the meaninglessness artists saw in their contemporaneous worldview. Dada filmmakers such as Hans Richter, Man Ray, and Viking Eggeling were challenged by the developing technology of filmmaking in the 1920s. This confluence of technology and aesthetic experimentation suited the Dadaists' passion for the machine-made object. The visual disruption created by the Dada filmmakers in the 1920s provided a legacy of aesthetic language for the cinematic experiments of future generations of avant-garde artists. The landmark films in this program--all produced between 1921 and 1928--are also on view within the context of other works in other mediums by the same artists in the Dada exhibition on the sixth floor of the Museum. All films are drawn from MoMA's collection and are silent.")

In Britain, kinescope recordings are known as telerecordings. Kinescopes are still in use)
(Kinescope, shortened to kine, also known as telerecording in Britain, is a recording of a television program made by filming the picture from a video monitor. The newer telecine has replaced the kinescope in the post-production process; term can refer to the process itself, the equipment used for the procedure (a 16 mm or 35 mm movie camera mounted in front of a video monitor, and synchronized to the monitor's scanning rate), or a film made using the process. A small number of theatrically released feature films have also been produced as kinescopes; the recordings were known in full as kinescope films)
(Kinescope: Copy (in 16mm) of an early black-and-white television program; it was made by filming the live images directly off a TV screen. Before the use of videotape, this was the only way to preserve a copy of what was broadcast on television. Kinescope was the trade name for the cathode-ray (picture) tube on which the images were displayed. Also called a Kinescope recording or Kine.)
(kinescope, kinescope recording, kine: A film recording of material originally appearing on a television tube. The television image, either live or from a videotape, appears enhanced on a monitor from which it is photographed. In a newer system an electron beam directly records on the film emulsion. Kinescope was originally employed for recording television programs and for delayed transmission, but ultimately was replaced for such functions by videotape.)

South Park (South Park is an American animated sitcom; famous for its crude language and dark, surreal humor that lampoons a wide range of topics; Genre: Black comedy; Off-color humor; Surreal humor; Slapstick; Satire) The Colbert Report (The Colbert Report is an American satirical late night television program that airs Monday through Thursday on Comedy Central. It satirizes conservative personality-driven political pundit programs, particularly Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor. Genre: Comedy, Satire, News parody) Satire (Satire is primarily a literary genre or form, although in practice it can also be found in the graphic and performing arts. In satire, vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, ideally with the intent of shaming individuals, and society itself, into improvement. Although satire is usually meant to be funny, its greater purpose is often constructive social criticism, using wit as a weapon. Satire is nowadays found in many artistic forms of expression, including literature, plays, commentary, and media such as lyrics; Stephen Colbert's television program, The Colbert Report, is instructive in the methods of contemporary American satire; The television program South Park relies almost exclusively on satire to address issues in American culture; Satire is used on many UK television programmes, particularly popular panel shows and quiz shows such as Mock the Week and Have I Got News for You; Canada has had several prominent satirical television series. Some, including CODCO, The Royal Canadian Air Farce, and This Hour Has 22 Minutes deal directly with current news stories and political figures, while others, like History Bites present contemporary social satire in the context of events and figures in history)
(Satire (Satirical Comedy, Satirical Film, Satiric Comedy). Satire seeks to make us aware of human faults and follies by ridiculing them. It casts an eye on society and its institutions and tries to expose wickedness, abuses of power and infringements of human rights and dignity. Straight satire is a continuous flow of scathing humor and caustic wit. It often uses exaggeration and fantastic occurrences to make its point. The most common types of satire are social satire, political satire and religious satire. Quite often, satire uses the vehicle of black comedy, science fiction or fable for its outer form of presentation. Parody and satire are sometimes confused. When the object of satire is a single individual rather than society, the term lampoon is often used. Examples: Glory! Glory! (89 CTV))

Supika nō kyōgen [VR] : nō to hana no futaya, 2008
The Oxford companion to the theatre, 1983
(under Japan: Comic interludes called kyōgen ("mad words") were sometimes performed between nō plays. These often portrayed a servant outwitting his slow-thinking master, and in many other ways provide interesting comment on the society of the time. Kyōgen is now regarded as a theatre form in its own right.)
Cuddon, J.A. A dict. of literary terms and literary theory, 1998
(kyogen. A form of Japanese comic drama which originally developed as a type of interlude in Nō performances. The plays are short and irreverent. A stock theme concerns the smart, opportunist servant, who outwits his blockheaded master; the kind of theme popular in low comedy and commedia dell'arte.)
(Kyōgen (literally "mad words" or "wild speech") is a form of traditional Japanese comic theater. It developed alongside Noh, was performed along with Noh as an intermission of sorts between Noh acts, on the same Noh stage, and retains close links to Noh in the modern day; therefore, it is sometimes designated Noh-kyōgen. However, its content is not at all similar to the formal, symbolic, and solemn Noh theater; kyōgen is a comical form, and its primary goal is to make its audience laugh. Kyōgen is sometimes compared to the Italian comic form of commedia dell'arte, which developed around the same period (14th century) and likewise features stock characters.)

(In astronomy and celestial navigation, an ephemeris (plural: ephemerides; from the Greek word ephēmeris "diary", "journal") gives the positions of astronomical objects in the sky at a given time or times. Historically, positions were given as printed tables of values, given at regular intervals of date and time. Modern ephemerides are often computed electronically from mathematical models of the motion of astronomical objects and the earth. Even though the calculation of these tables was one of the first applications of mechanical computers, printed ephemerides are still produced, as they are useful when computational devices are not available. The astronomical position calculated from an ephemeris is given in the spherical polar coordinate system of right ascension and declination. Some of the astronomical phenomena of interest to astronomers are eclipses, apparent retrograde motion/planetary stations, planetary ingresses, sidereal time, positions for the mean and true nodes of the moon, the phases of the Moon, and the position(s) of Chiron and other minor celestial bodies. Ephemerides are used in celestial navigation, astronomy and astrology. Astrologers typically have different needs than astronomers, for example, the calculation of astrological aspects, and may produce ephemerides specialized to their own field.)
(ephemeris plural ephemerides: a tabular statement of the assigned places of a celestial body for regular intervals. Table of the positions of celestial bodies at regular intervals, often with supplementary information. Constructed as early as the 4th century BC, ephemerides are still essential to astronomers and navigators. Modern ephemerides are calculated, with heavy computing and careful checking, after a mathematical description of a heavenly body's observed motion has been evolved. Various national ephemerides are published regularly; the U.S. ephemeris, first published in 1852, became the best and is now published jointly with the U.K. as The Astronomical Almanac.)
(ephemeris noun, plural ephemerides. 1. a table showing the positions of a heavenly body on a number of dates in a regular sequence. 2. an astronomical almanac containing such tables. 3. Archaic. an almanac or calendar.)

Resolution (law) (A resolution is a written motion adopted by a deliberative body. The substance of the resolution can be anything that can normally be proposed as a motion. For long or important motions, though, it is often better to have them written out so that discussion is easier or so that it can be distributed outside of the body after its adoption. An alternate term for a resolution is a resolve. Resolutions are commonly used in corporations and houses of legislature. Houses of legislature: When greater formality is desired, a motion may be made in the form of a resolution, which is always submitted in writing. Houses of a legislature often adopt non-binding resolutions. However, a legislature also uses resolutions to exercise one of its binding powers that isn't a lawmaking power. For example, the United States Congress declares war or proposes constitutional amendments by adopting a joint resolution. A house of a legislature can also use a resolution to exercise its specific powers, as the British House of Commons does to elect its Speaker or as the United States House of Representatives does to impeach an officer of the government.)

Harris, M.H. Slasher movies 101, via About.com Horror & suspense movies website, Nov. 9, 2012
(The definition of a slasher film varies depending on who you ask, but in general, it contains several specific traits that feed into the genre's formula: The Killer - Every slasher has a killer. The Victims -In slashers, the victims tend to be young, attractive and often nude. The Heroine - Although slashers are often criticized for being misogynistic, they're one of the few film genres that primarily feature strong, independent female leads. The Violence - One thing that separates slashers from thrillers and murder mysteries is the level of violence. Slashers shift the focus of the film from such trivialities as "plot" and "character development" and instead concentrate on the killing. The deaths are violent and graphic, and the more originality shown in the methods and tools used, the better. John Carpenter's Halloween (1978) is often considered to be the first "true" slasher in terms of tying all of these components together, thus setting the standard by which all other films are judged.)

("While steampunk may still be a new emerging subculture, its blend of neo-Victorian science-fiction has been in the movies for years. ... Movies that employ wildly imagined inventions and anachronistic technology set in bygone eras can all fall under this name. 'The Prestige'--a period piece of illusion, invention and teleportation--and 'Wild Wild West'--which transcends a typical 1800s Western with its depiction of steam-powered tanks, a cyborg and mechanical spiders--are two of the most popular steampunk movies to date. Also high on the list is 'League of Extraordinary Gentlemen,' which is dense with allusions to the works and characters of H.G. Wells and Jules Verne, both steampunk literary heroes.")

The photomosaic is normally a monochrome image and has some limited cartographic treatment usually--a title, grid, scale, some names, certain symbols. With the photomap, the cartographic effort is much greater--several colours may be used and a considerable amount of symbolized information added. However, this considerable effort is normally made only where the base is an orthophotographic one, in which case it becomes an orthophotomap.")

(Expressionist Film (Expressionism). Expressionism is a movement in the arts which gained impetus at the turn of the century as a reaction against the artistic currents of Impressionism, Naturalism and neo-Romanticism. In the film medium, it evolved in Germany after World War I and exerted a world-wide influence. Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari (1919) started a series of art films clearly marked by a cinematic style that came to be known as film expressionism (the term caligarisme is also used in France). Although the purely expressionist films were few, the period of German Expressionist cinema extended from 1913 to 1933; rejected the imitation of reality and relied instead on extreme stylization; expressionist films were almost always shot in the studios with artificial, distorted sets, ample use of dramatic lighting, plays on shadows, stylized acting, and the symbolic use of objects and figures to create meaning and atmospheric tension; the films were somber, subjective exposition of an individual's inner troubled self in the grips of some persecuting emotional experience or other and confined to a hostile environment; characterization was unidimensional. Examples: Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari; Genuine; Der Golem; Von Morgens bis Mitternachts; Der Müde Tod; Nosferatu; Verlogene Moral; Dr. Mabuse der Spieler; Der letzte Mann; Das Wachsfigurenkabinett; Metropolis)
pp. 26-27 (Expressionism; born in Germany out of the pessimism following the First World War; highly stylised, atmospheric and symbolic films; key characteristics: chiaroscuro; distortion; fatalism; Freudianism; oblique camera angles; unlike Caligarism, German expressionist films such as FW Murnau's Nosferatu (1922) used real locations, creating unease with exaggerated shadows, high-contrast lighting and off-kilter camera angles in an attempt to externalise the psychological state. The plots and stories of the films often dealt with madness, insanity and betrayal; the greatest influence of German expressionism can be seen on Hollywood horror films; key works: Nosferatu, 1922; M, 1931; other works: Dr Mabuse, The Gambler, 1922; Variety, 1925; Metropolis, 1927; Secrets of a Soul, 1926; The Lodger, 1927; Diary of a Lost Girl, 1929; Pandora's Box, 1929; The Blue Angel, 1930; Dracula, 1931; Frankenstein, 1931; Sawdust and Tinsel, 1953; Psycho, 1960; Blade Runner, 1982; Batman Returns, 1992)
pp. 24-25 (Caligarism. With its stylised, distorted sets, grotesquely angled photography and artificial lighting creating a nightmarish atmosphere, Robert Wiene's The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1919) became a trademark of German cinema in the 1920s; key characteristics: artificiality; distortion; dream-like atmosphere; menace; shadows; although considered to be the first true example of expressionism in the cinema, Caligari differs from many other expressionist dramas because it stresses artificiality, all of it taking place within a studio, against painted theatrical sets with oblique lines and angles without perspective; key works: The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, 1919; Waxworks, 1924; other works: The Golem, 1920; Dr Mabuse, The Gambler, 1922; Nosferatu, 1922; Frankenstein, 1931; M, 1931; The Bride of Frankenstein, 1935; Edward Scissorhands, 1990)
Jones, B. Expressionism and Caligarisme, via WWW, Aug. 17, 2011
(Despite the enormous attention given by film historians to Expressionism there are few films that might appropriately be classified as Expressionistic. Doctor Giesenfeld would limit the list to three: Von Morgens bis Mitternachts, Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari, and Genuine. Some film historians such as Barry Salt would expand the list to include Torgus, Raskolnikov, Das Waxenfigurenkabinett, and, arguably, Metropolis; quite a few German films had elements that could be classified as Expressionistic. Nosferatu was a commercial horror film with Expressionistic design and acting. It can not be called purely Expressionist; "Caligarisme" (the contemporary term for the ornamentally "Expressionistic" film style; the Expressionists didn't have a program for saving the world only an undefined hope in its recovery, a silly Chekhovian optimism. Except for Von Morgens Bis Mitternachts (and to a limited extent Das Cabinet Des Dr. Caligari) this philosophy was absent from Caligarist film; It is proper to call the acting style of Caligarisme Expressionistic since this style is adapted from the expressionist stage in addition to traditional silent film mime)
German Expressionism (German Expressionism refers to a number of related creative movements beginning in Germany before the First World War that reached a peak in Berlin, during the 1920s. These developments in Germany were part of a larger Expressionist movement in north and central European culture in fields such as architecture, painting and cinema. The first Expressionist films, The Student of Prague (1913), The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920), The Golem (1920), Destiny (1921), Nosferatu (1922), Phantom (1922), Schatten (1923), and The Last Laugh (1924), were highly symbolic and stylized); German expressionist films) Expressionism (There was an Expressionist style in the cinema, important examples of which are Robert Wiene's The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920), The Golem: How He Came Into the World (1920), Fritz Lang's Metropolis (1927) and F. W. Murnau's Nosferatu, a Symphony of Horror (1922) and The Last Laugh (1924). The term "expressionist" is also sometimes used to refer to stylistic devices thought to resemble those of German Expressionism, such as Film Noir cinematography or the style of several of the films of Ingmar Bergman. More generally, the term expressionism can be used to describe cinematic styles of great artifice, such as the technicolor melodramas of Douglas Sirk or the sound and visual design of David Lynch's films.)
(Category: Expressionist films - three films listed: A Country Doctor; The Night of the Hunter; The Third Man; subcategory: German Expressionist films - 19 films listed, including The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Faust, Genuine, The Golem, The Last Laugh, M, The Man Who Laughs, Metropolis, Nosferatu, Phantom, Raskolnikow, Waxworks)
(Expressionism. A stylistic movement within film, drama, painting, fiction, and poetry which uses non-realistic, non-naturalistic methods in an attempt to reveal inner experience. In the expressionistic film, actors, objects, and scenic design are treated not as representational but as elements that function to convey mood, emotion, and psychological atmosphere. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1919) is a well-known film that employs expressionistic devices.)

Digital elevation model (A digital elevation model is a digital model or 3-D representation of a terrain's surface--commonly for a planet (including Earth), moon, or asteroid--created from terrain elevation data. There is no common usage of the terms digital elevation model (DEM), digital terrain model (DTM) and digital surface model (DSM) in scientific literature. In the most cases the term digital surface model represents the earth's surface and includes all objects on it. In contrast to a DSM, the digital terrain model represents the bare ground surface without any objects like plants and buildings. The term Digital Elevation Model is often used as a generic term for DSMs and DTMs, only representing height information without any further definition about the surface. Other definitions equalise the terms DEM and DTM, or define the DEM as a subset of the DTM, which is also representing other morphological elements. There are also definitions which equalise the terms DEM and DSM. A DEM can be represented as a raster (a grid of squares, also known as a heightmap when representing elevation) or as a triangular irregular network (TIN). The TIN DEM dataset is also referred as a primary (measured) DEM, whereas the Raster DEM is referred as a secondary (computed) DEM. DEMs are commonly built using remote sensing techniques, but they may also be built from land surveying. DEMs are used often in geographic information systems, and are the most common basis for digitally-produced relief maps. The DEM could be acquired through techniques such as photogrammetry, LiDAR, IfSAR, land surveying, etc.)
USGS digital elevation model information, via WWW, Aug. 31, 2011
(A digital elevation model (DEM) is a digital file consisting of terrain elevations for ground positions at regularly spaced horizontal intervals. The USGS produces five different digital elevation products. Although all are identical in the manner the data are structured, each varies in sampling interval, geographic reference system, areas of coverage, and accuracy; with the primary differing characteristic being the spacing, or sampling interval, of the data. Over the years, the USGS has collected digital elevation data using a number of production strategies including manual profiling from photogrammetric stereomodels; stereomodel digitizing of contours; digitizing topographic map contour plates; converting hypsographic and hydrographic tagged vector files; and performing autocorrelation via automated photogrammetric systems. Of these techniques, the derivation of DEM's from vector hypsographic and hydrographic data produces the most accurate model, and is the preferred method.)

(A Digital Elevation Model (DEM) is a digital cartographic/geographic dataset of elevations in xyz coordinates. The terrain elevations for ground positions are sampled at regularly spaced horizontal intervals. DEMs are derived from hypsographic data (contour lines) and/or photogrammetric methods using USGS 7.5-minute, 15-minute, 2-arc-second (30- by 60-minute), and 1-degree (1:250,000-scale) topographic quadrangle maps.)

The violence is extremely explicit and of a horrifying or shocking nature with heads and limbs chopped off, tongues torn out, eyes gouged out, disembowelments and guts galore spilled; Examples: Blood Feast (1963), Two Thousand Maniacs1 (1964), The Gruesome Twosome (1966), The Ghastly Ones (1967), The Last House on the Left (1972), The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974), The Hills Have Eyes (1976), Dawn of the Dead (1977), Antropophagus (1979), The Driller Killer (1979), Bad Taste (1987))
Splatter film (A splatter film or gore film is a subgenre of horror film that deliberately focuses on graphic portrayals of gore and graphic violence. These films, through the use of special effects, tend to display an overt interest in the vulnerability of the human body and the theatricality of its mutilation. The combination of graphic violence and sexually suggestive imagery in some films has been labeled "torture porn" or "gorno" (a portmanteau of "gore" and "porno").
Splatter movies (A splatter film or gore film is a type of horror film that deliberately focuses on graphic portrayals of gore and graphic violence. These films, through the use of special effects and excessive blood and guts, tend to display an overt interest in the vulnerability of the human body. Due to their willingness to portray images society might consider shocking, splatter films share ideological grounds with the transgressive art movement. Sometimes the gore is so excessive it becomes a comedic device. These types of comedic gore films have been dubbed splatstick (a portmanteau of "splatter" and "slapstick"). As a distinct genre, the splatter film began in the 1960s with the films of Herschell Gordon Lewis, who became notorious for such work as Blood Feast (1963). Lewis has been called the "Godfather of Gore." Blood Feast is widely considered as the first splatter film. While many splatter films fall into the exploitation film subgenre, some make their way into the mainstream. One of the most successful splatter films, critically and commercially, was George A. Romero's 1978 zombie film Dawn of the Dead. The term "splatter film" is often confused with "slasher film." While there is often overlap, many slasher movies, like Halloween (1978), are not considered splatter films because they don't have enough on-screen gore.)

(Splatter Films: Splatter films revel in showcasing large amounts of blood and gore. The name is derived from the blood splatter shown on screen and presumably the vomit splatter from the audience. Director Herschell Gordon Lewis created the style when his Blood Feast (1963) and Two Thousand Maniacs (1964) introduced new levels of gore into the film industry. Later in the '70s and '80s, Italian cannibal films like Cannibal Apocalypse, Cannibal Ferox and Cannibal Holocaust and zombie films like City of the Living Dead, Zombie and Burial Ground continued the splatter tradition.)
