In 1971, while Fred Silverman was still working for CBS, he spotted singing duo Sonny & Cher doing a stand-up concert. He decided to turn it into a weekly variety show. In addition to some entertaining stand-up banter between the husband and wife, The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour would also have skits and music (mostly sung by Cher). The show was a ratings winner from the first episode and ran for three years. It was followed in the same vein shortly after by singing duo Tony Orlando and Dawn.
Another group of singers who received a variety show in the 1970s were two of the famous singing Osmonds—Donny and his sister Marie. Sid & Marty Krofft set to work on the siblings' series and Donny & Marie premiered on ABC in the winter of 1976. Although the show became very popular, the Osmonds were equally ridiculed for their wholesome image and Mormon moral reputation (on an episode of Good Times, the lead character, Florida, listed three things in the world you just can't do, and one was "smile wider than Donny and Marie").
Producers of 1970s television
Many prime-time programs of the 1970s were helmed by independent producers, often in association with a major Hollywood studio. A particularly successful independent producer at the dawn of the decade was Quinn Martin. Martin produced crime shows such as The Streets of San Francisco, Cannon, and Dan August. The latter show was a one-season cop series, starring an up-and-coming actor Burt Reynolds, that would find greater popularity after its star had hit it big at the cinema. Martin's success would fade during the last half of the decade. By the end of 1980, the former mega-producer would be left without a single prime-time network series on the air. As for other producers during the period, Norman Lear produced the socially relevant All in the Family as well as more innocuous fare such as One Day at a Time. Jack Webb, a holdover from previous decades, oversaw Adam-12 and Emergency!. Glen A. Larson produced a number of shows in association with Universal TV (McCloud, Switch, etc
.), while David Gerber made a name for himself with such fare as Police Woman and Police Story. The latter was a one-hour anthology series with no series regulars. Among 1970s TV producers, was Aaron Spelling. He would go on to be perhaps, according to an article written by Michael Idato for The Sydney Morning Herald, "the most prolific producer in TV history." Like Quinn Martin, Spelling was known for producing crime dramas (S.W.A.T., Starsky & Hutch). Spelling also produced more escapist fare as represented by the likes of The Love Boat, Fantasy Island, and even the private-eye opus Charlie's Angels. There was also Family, a socially relevant hour-long series. It would win a number of Emmys during its four-year run. Spelling's success would continue well into the 1990s.

Poena cullei, or the penalty of the sack was an ancient Roman form of execution imposed on people convicted of patricide, or the murder of one's parents. It involved being sewn into a sack with vicious animals, most commonly a monkey, snake, and chicken, but others were sometimes used as well. The sack was then thrown into a body of water to sink. In the course of drowning, the animals would attack one another and the human in the bag.

Poena cullei probably varied in frequency of usage. The earliest account of which dates to 100 BCE and by 300 CE it had largely fallen out of favour. The method of execution enjoyed a short resurgence in Germany during the medieval era.

Blowing from a cannon was a method of execution in which the victim was tied to the mouth of a cannon which was fired immediately after. The method was popular with British colonial authorities in India and used on revolters. This method of capital punishment was favoured by the British as a Hindu belief states that the body must be intact to go into the afterlife. In Africa, the Portuguese colonial authorities also used the method.

The Brazen bull, bronze bull or Sicillian bull, or occasionally Bull of Phalaris was an apparatus, shaped like a bull used to cook people alive. The bull is said to have been invented by Perilaus of Athens to please the tyrant of Sicily, Phalaris, although the inventor was the first it was used on.  The bull is said to have had a door to one side, through which the condemned would be shoved and then locked in. A fire would be lit under the bull and the victim was roasted alive as the metal was heated. A special system of pipes in the head of the bull acoustically converted the screams of victims into the sounds of an actual bull. Some scholars and historians question whether the Brazen bull even existed or was simply made up as a form of propaganda.

Yu Ming Is Ainm Dom (English: My Name Is Yu Ming) is a 2003 Irish short film. Yu Ming goes to Ireland, where most of the population do not know Irish. It was directed by Daniel O'Hara and is 13 minutes in length.

Plot
Yu Ming (Diyu Daniel Wu) hates his job at a supermarket in China. He chooses to move to Ireland because a globe he spun in a library landed on it. He learns "Gaelic" for 6 months first because an atlas says it is Ireland's official language.

He asks an Australian receptionist in a Dublin hostel "Ba mhaith liom leaba anseo" ("I would like a bed here"). Thinking it is Chinese, he asks Enke, an Asian co-worker, to translate it. He says, "I am Mongolian."

Yu Ming asks a bartender "Tá mé ag lorg obair" ("I am looking for work"). He also thinks he is speaking Chinese. Paddy (Frank Kelly), an old man, can speak Irish, so he buys him a drink and tells him he is able to speak Irish.

Yu Ming now works as a bartender in the Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking) area of Connemara.
The line "An bhfuil tusa ag labhairt liomsa?" ("Are you talking to me?") is said multiple times throughout the film.

Broadacre City was a proposed development by Frank Lloyd Wright that would have given families one acre (0.40 hectare) each. It would have been an agrarian eutopia, part of the garden-city movement around four square miles or ten square kilometers in total size. The housing stock of Broadacre City would consist almost entirely of single family farmhouses. There would be a few office buildings and a train station, but it would primarily be a farming community. Almost all transportation would be done via private automobile, the city would be coal powered, and pedestrians would not be accommodated.

Tokyo SkyCity or Sky City 1000 is a proposed arcology for Tokyo, Japan. It is a 202 story,  tall vertical city. It would be home to 36,000 people and employ 100,000 people. The skyscraper would have 14 concave dish shaped modules called space plateaus. These modules were later copied and adapted for use in the proposed SpaceCity 6000. Each space plateau would have green space. These spaces would be used as a courtyard for the apartments, office suites, stores and other indoor facilities on the plataeu.

Dr. Iris Hineman says that sometimes there is a conflict in vision called a "minority report." Anderton kidnaps the precog Agatha from the facility. They arrive at Crow's place. It has photos of Anderton's son, who had died. Anderton believes that Crow killed Anderton's son, but Crow says he was setting it all up. Crow wants Anderton to kill him to benefit his family.

Freedom Ship is a proposed seastead and arcology that would endlessly roam the seas. The hull of Freedom Ship would not be an ordinary ship hull, but rather a group of barges. The floating city would have a length of 1800 meters (1989 yards or 5908 feet) and a beam (width) of 250 meters (273 yards or 820ft) with 25 decks (storeys). There would be 50,000 dwelling units, 3,000 commercial units, 2,400 timeshare units and 10,000 hotel rooms, as well as its own subway type system. The ship would be far too big to dock at most ports and thus would have smaller dinghy farries to shuttle passengers to and from shore.

A space elevator is a theoretical transportation device for cheaply sending people and cargo into orbit. If one can be built, a space elevator would make it possible to go to outer space without inefficient and often single use rockets, lowering the average cost to launch from the current average of $10,000 to $25,000 per kilogram to as little as $100 per kilo, thus making widespread civilian space travel and colonization economically feasible. The elevator would consist of a cable or tower stretching to a mid or geostationary orbit, with two tethers, one at the surface and the other at a space station. Some kind of climbing vehicle would go up and down it. No known building material is strong enough and with a low enough density to build a space elevator, but a material like carbon nanotubes could be it.

The Shimizu Mega-City Pyramid is a proposed pyramid shaped arcology that would be 2004 metres (2194 yards or 6,575ft ) tall. The geodesic pyramid would have the same proportions as the Great Pyramid of Giza, but unlike the Great Pyramid, would not be enclosed. Instead, each truss in the superstructure would hold a skyscraper.

Aviator glasses are sunglasses or eyeglasses with a double nose bridge and usually teardrop shaped lenses. Aviator glasses were originally made by Bausch and Lomb ( the company that would become Ray-Ban) for pilots in Second World War to protect their eyes while flying at high altitudes, and the glasses resemble pilot's goggles. Aviator glasses are not only made by RayBan, but also Randolph Engineering, American Optical, (the latter made the sunglasses worn by the Apollo program astronauts enroute to the Moon). As clear lens or slightly tinted eyeglasses, aviators were most popular during the 1970s to 1990s. As sunglasses, the style is most associated with police officers.

Wayfarer glasses are thick-framed, usually plastic/acetate eyeglasses or sunglasses with square or trapezoidal rims. The style was invented by Ray-Ban in 1956 and represented a refreshing break from the metal wire-rim glasses of the past. The original design resembles Cadillac tail fins. Wayfarer glasses are seen by many as synonymous with punk, hipster or geek chic style.

Eyeglasses
Horn-rimmed glasses are styles of eyeglasses with thicker acetate frames. Originally, the glasses were made of tortoiseshells or the horns of certain animals, but due to endangered species and environmentalist laws, shells and horns are no longer used. These glasses have become a popular geek-chic and hipster fashion item.

Self-replicating spacecrafts, or Von-Neumann probes, are self-replicating machines. 

Hypothetically, they might one day exist. They would do it by removing material from asteroids, comets, planets etc to make more of themselves. The idea has figured in some space fiction writing, including 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Nicosia International Airport () was Cyprus' main airport before the invasion and is located 5 km as the crow flies, west of the Cypriot Presidential Palace with the largest runway length of approximately 2.7 km. Due to the fact that it was the main airport at the time, this also made it very strategically important to anyone who wished to cut a major transport route for the island.
For the Turkish Armed Forces, Nicosia International Airport was of high significance.

Background

After the coup that was executed on 15 July 1974, Turkey using the justification of the power it thought it had via the Treaty of Guarantee would proceed to launch a subsequent illegal invasion on the 20 July 1974 (Which in turn would have been a violation of Article I of the Treaty).
