My Life as a Teenage Robot
Overview
The show focuses on making lighthearted fun of typical teenage problems and other conventions of the teenage and superhero lives, with a blend of action and comedy sequences.
Despite critical success, My Life as a Teenage Robot was a ratings disappointment.
Season 3 aired in the United States as "never before seen episodes" on Nicktoons Network between 2008 and 2009, three years after their initial production and premiering in other countries. The series is distributed outside in some countries by the Canadian animation studio, Nelvana Limited.
The entire series is available on iTunes, Amazon DVD, and Paramount+.

My Life as a Teenage Robot
Production
The pilot, My Neighbor Was A Teenage Robot, was produced in 1998 for ''Oh Yeah! Cartoons'' and premiered on Nickelodeon in the United States on December 4, 1999.
VV Cephei
VV Cephei A is one of the largest known stars, being a red supergiant. Its diameter is more than a thousand times that of the Sun. It is orbited by VV Cephei B, a blue star with 13–25 times the Solar radius. If VV Cephei A were placed in the center of our Solar System, its radius would reach past the orbit of Mars and the asteroid belt.
My Life as a Teenage Robot
Season 1
After the success of the Oh Yeah Cartoons! pilot short, "My Neighbor Was A Teenage Robot" (produced in 1998 and aired on Nickelodeon in 1999), Nickelodeon announced a full half-hour series in early 2002.
Saint-Benoît-sur-Seine

Creator Rob Renzetti joined Frederator Studios to produce the series.
Assérac
Assérac is a commune of 1,790 people (2017). It is found in the region Pays de la Loire in the Loire-Atlantique department in western France.
My Life as a Teenage Robot
Season 1
The series entered pre-production in 2001, and production of the first season officially commenced in March of 2002, and wrapped in late November 2002 with the completion of "The Wonderful World of Wizzly" and "Call Hating."
"Unlicensed Flying Object" was the first script written for the series in March of 2002. Despite "It Came From Next Door" chronologically being the first episode, it is basically a remake of the pilot and the decision to write it into an episode was made after the scripts for "Unlicensed Flying Object", "Raggedy Android", and "The Boy Who Cried Robot" were written, thus making "It Came From Next Door" the fourth script written for the series.
Writing of the season was completed in August 2002 with the final draft of "Saved by the Shell."
After passing the storyboard and animatic phase, episodes were shipped overseas to the Seoul-based Rough Draft Korea animation studio, where color and animation were added to the episodes. This phase of the first season's production lasted until November 2002, and post-production wrapped later that month.
Rob Renzetti thought of many different styles for the series before finally settling with the Art Deco and anime-inspired aesthetics that the show is known for.
The episode "Raggedy Android" was the first episode storyboarded, and was handled mostly by Renzetti himself. This can be seen in the episode as the fairgoers are drawn in a variety of different art styles that were exclusive to that particular episode. After "Raggedy Android", the series' style was finalized as Renzetti and co. found their footing.
Season 2
The high ratings of season 1 led Nickelodeon to renew the series for a second season in late 2003, and the season entered production in early 2004.
Jenny was given a slight redesign for the second season, which was used for the remainder of the series. Her eyes have become more rounded and she is now slightly taller.
Production of season 2 continued through the rest of 2004 and into early 2005. With the completion of "Escape From Cluster Prime", production wrapped in March 2005.
Near the end of the season's production cycle, a third season was ordered, which entered production as season 2 was wrapping up.
Season 3
Although this final season was produced between 2005 and 2006, it never aired in its home country, the United States, until October 2008 to May 2009. This is probably due to the fact that the series was cancelled in 2005, shortly after the end of the second season.
However, the entire season aired in foreign countries such as the United Kingdom, Japan and Germany between 2005 and 2007, before reaching the United States.
Pre-production of season 3 commenced at the beginning of 2005, with the first episode written being "There's No Place Like Homeschool."
The first half of the season ("Weapons of Mass Distraction" through "Good Old Sheldon") was produced in 2005, while the second half ("Infectious Personality" through "Turncoats") was produced in 2006.
Season 1
Unlike most other Nicktoons, My Life as a Teenage Robot actually premiered internationally.

My Life as a Teenage Robot
Season 1
By the time the series had its American premiere, the first season had already finished airing in the United Kingdom, and 11 of the season's 13 half-hour episodes had aired in Australia, as well as 10 in Mexico.
Most of the first season aired in the United States in late 2003, with the last few episodes being delayed to early 2004, ending on February 27 with "The Wonderful World of Wizzly" and "Call Hating", a full year after their worldwide premiere in the United Kingdom. By this time, season 2 was already in production.
Jean Marsh
Jean Marsh (b. London, 1 July 1934) is an English actress and screenwriter who appeared mostly on television.
My Life as a Teenage Robot
Season 1
Each individual episode debuted in the United States more than a full year (August 2003 to February 2004) after it was ready to air (July 2002 to November 2002).
This would become all too common later in the series' run, and starting in season 2, coupled with the additional issue of episodes premiering in America out of their intended order. This came to a head in season 3, which didn't air in the United States for three years (2008 - 2009) after initial production and their worldwide premieres.
Jean Marsh
Marsh co-created and starred in the television series Upstairs, Downstairs and created The House of Elliot. She also starred in Doctor Who, and appeared in many other series, and in films. She got an Emmy Award for the Outstanding Lead Actress for the role of the parlourmaid Rose Buck in Upstairs, Downstairs.
My Life as a Teenage Robot
Season 1
It is unknown why the American premiere was delayed to August 2003 when the entire first season was ready to air in 2002, though it could be that Nickelodeon felt that the show was too edgy to air in 2002, so soon after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York City.
Season 2
Like the first season, season 2 premiered in Australia first, with "Victim of Fashion" on September 17, 2004. The same episode also first aired in Canada on October 4, beginning the season's run in that country ahead of the United States as well. The season also premiered in the United Kingdom ahead of the United States, on October 31.
After airing "A Robot For All Seasons" in December, five more half-hour episodes were burned out in the United States the week of January 24-28, 2005. After that, one more episode pairing aired in March, and another in June, before the season finale "Escape from Cluster Prime" on August 12.
Despite this, several more episodes produced before "Escape From Cluster Prime" were delayed until September in the United States, including "Victim of Fashion", the first episode produced for the season.
This causes several continuity errors when viewed in American airing order, for example the episode "Designing Women", which was produced well before "Escape From Cluster Prime", but aired in the United States after the fact.
By the time the second season finished its run in the United States on September 9, production of the third season was already well underway.
Season 3
Perhaps the most infamous and well-known delay of My Life as a Teenage Robot is that the third and final season aired in the United States three years after it was produced (from 2008 to 2009), as well as airing in a large number of countries before its own.
Episodes were leaked in the United States throughout 2006 and 2007 thanks to said international premieres, often being ripped on websites like The Pirate Bay.
The season had its world premiere in the United Kingdom on November 6, 2005, followed by Australia and Canada in December 2005, Japan in January 2006, Mexico in April 2006, and Germany in September 2006.
The season, and thus the series, ended its run in Australia on June 16, 2006 with the final episodes "Samurai Vac" and "Turncoats", in Australia the following month, Germany in October 2006, Mexico in November, followed by Japan and Canada in 2007.
The season first aired in the United States on October 4, 2008 with the episodes "Weapons of Mass Distraction" and "There's No Place Like Home School", and finished airing on May 2, 2009 with "Samurai Vac" and "Turncoats", thus officially ending the series' run in its home country. This final episode pairing didn't air on Nickelodeon, instead airing on its sister network, Nicktoons. The season aired in the United States three years after it was produced and aired in other countries.

Sign language
A sign language is a way of communicating by using the hands and other parts of the body. It should not be confused with body language. Sign languages are an important way for deaf people to communicate. Deaf people often use them instead of spoken languages. Spoken languages use sounds from the mouth and are understood with the ears. Sign languages use hands and are understood with the eyes. Deaf people can use sign languages more easily than spoken languages.
Mood disorder
A mood disorder or affective disorder is a type of mental illness where the main problem is the person's mood. The two main kinds of mood disorder are depressive disorders (like major depressive disorder) and bipolar disorder. Some other mood disorders can be caused by using drugs.
Sign language
Language learning and use
Deaf people sometimes learn a sign language from their family, especially if their parents are deaf. But, most deaf children have hearing parents, so they learn a sign language from other deaf people. They may meet other deaf people at school or in the streets. Hearing people may learn to sign directly from deaf people. Or, they may learn a sign language by going to signing classes or by studying a sign language workbook, which can come with an interactive DVD.

Reginald Johnston
Reginald Fleming Johnston ( Edinburgh, 13 October, 1874 - ibid., 6 March, 1938) was a British academic and diplomat, he was too the tutor and an advisor of the last emperor of China, Puyi. He was also the colonial governor of Weihaiwei.
Sign language
Language learning and use
Sometimes deaf people do use a spoken language, especially when talking with hearing people. Sometimes hearing people use a sign language with each other, rather than speaking. But, deaf people tend to use sign languages, and hearing people tend to use spoken languages.
Eudoros
In Greek mythology, Eudoros (Εὔδωρος) was one of the Myrmidons as well as the second of five commanders who served under Achilles during the Trojan War. He was a demigod, son of Hermes and Polymele.
Sign language
Language learning and use
Some deaf people can also understand spoken words by looking at a speaker's lips. This is known as lip-reading. It is hard to learn, and few people do it well. Sometimes signing and lip-reading are combined, especially when deaf and hearing people are talking to each other.
Eudoros
According to the Iliad, he commanded ten penteconters and five hundred Myrmidons. In Book XVI of the Iliad, when Patroclus readies Achilles's men, Homer talks about him for fourteen lines - more than any of the other commanders in this passage. He is also the second most notable of the five, beaten only by Phoenix.
Sign language
History
Sign languages have always existed in deaf communities. In ancient texts we see authors commenting about deaf people and sign language. In the western world, the first studies dedicated to sign languages date from the 17th century. In 1620, in Spain, the priest Juan Pablo Bonnet published a text about teaching deaf people to speak, using gestures as a tool. The language of signs created by Bonet was used by Abbé Charles-Michel de l'Épée, to create a fingerspelling alphabet in the 18th century. This alphabet has changed very little since then, and is used with sign languages in many countries.
Reginald Johnston
Biography
He was born in the Scottish city of Edinburgh in 1874, he had higher studies at the University of Edinburgh and later at the Magdalen College, Oxford. In 1898 he entered to the colonial service and started to work for the British administration in Hong Kong. At this time he learned Chinese. After being stationed for a time in Hong Kong, in 1906 Johnston was transferred as a district officer to the British concession of Weihaiwei, a territory placed on the Shandong peninsula. In Weihaiwei he was under the command of Commissioner James Stewart Lockhart, who became into a close friend to Johnston. His work was very well received by the local people.

Sign language
Different sign languages
Sign languages are not universal. That means there is not one single sign language for all deaf people around the world. There are many different sign languages. Each deaf community can develop its own sign language. Usually there is a different sign language in each country. Linguists have identified at least 137 different sign languages.

Reginald Johnston
Biography
In October 1918, he was offered to be the guardian of the young Puyi, the overthroned Chinese emperor who still continued living in the Forbidden City of Beijing as a non-sovereign monarch. Johnston accepted the offer and at the end of 1918 he moved to the Chinese capital, becoming the new imperial guardian. During the following years he had a great influence on Puyi, to whom he showed the western culture - something significant, considering the reactionary and ultra-conservative atmosphere of the imperial Court. At the request of the emperor about possible Western names for himself and some of his companions, it was Johnston himself who recommended a Western name - Henry. At this time, Johnston and Isabel Ingram - a daughter of an American missionary and the guardian of Empress Wan Rong - were the only foreigners allowed to be inside the court of the Qing dynasty in its entire history. Another of Puyi's tutors was the Chinese career official Zheng Xiaoxu, who was a lot of esteemed by Johnston. There was mutual respect between the this two people, and Zheng even recommended to Puyi that Johnston be imperial commissioner for the Summer Palace. By initiative of Jhonston, the Summer Palace was visited for the first time by Puyi and became an occasional residence that made it possible to break the cloister of the Forbidden City. But, this all ended in 1924, when Puyi and his family were expelled from the Forbidden City.

Cliff Simon
He was killed in a kiteboarding accident in Topanga, California, on 9 March 2021, aged 58.
Reginald Johnston
Biography
Johnston went back to the colonial service. In 1927 he was designated the commissioner of the concession of Weihaiwei, a position that he had until the 1930s. On that date the territory was returned to China. He moved to the United Kingdom, and in 1931 he was designated Professor of Chinese at the School of Oriental Studies at the University of London. Despite his extensive experience about China, he did not adapt well to the university environment. He retired in 1937. The ex-tutor continued maintaining contact with Puyi, even when he was established by the Japanese as emperor of the puppet state of Manchukuo. Johnston bought the small Scottish island of Eilean Rìgh, where he set up his home with Chinese-style gardens and even hoisted a Manchukuo flag. He died in 1938, without having gotten married.
Sign language
Different sign languages
However, sign languages are not totally independent from each other. Sign languages can develop from the same source. For example, ASL, LSM, and LSQ all developed from Old French Sign Language. They are part of the same language family. Sign languages can be similar to each other. BSL, Auslan, and NZSL are very much alike. Linguists sometimes talk about them as if they are one language. They call it "BANZSL" (an acronym for "British Australian New Zealand Sign Language"). Sign languages can influence each other. They sometimes copy signs from other sign languages, the same way spoken languages copy loanwords.
Grammar of sign languages
(People sometimes also use the term "sign language" to talk about a "method of communication, as between speakers of different languages, that uses hand movements and other gestures." This article is about the first use of the term "sign language". It is talking about a real language that must be learned, not just a set of simple gestures that anyone can dream up to communicate.)
A sign language is not a copy of a spoken language. For example, American Sign Language (ASL) and British Sign Language (BSL) are not copies of English. They are different from each other, even though they are both used in countries that speak English. Sometimes sign languages may copy a few elements from a spoken language, but usually they are very different. For example, sign languages often use different locations in space around the signer to represent people or objects that are being talked about. These locations are used like pronouns in spoken languages.
The main difference between sign languages and spoken languages is that sign languages use hand and body movements to form signs while spoken languages use sounds to form words. Really, each sign in a sign language is like a word in a spoken language. Both types of languages use grammar rules to combine words/signs into sentences. That's what makes them languages, and why both types of languages are different from mime or simple gestures.
The grammar rules of different sign languages are similar to each other, but they aren't the same. There is not a universal grammar for sign languages; each sign language has its own grammar. For example, sign languages use different handshapes to form signs; each sign language has its own set of handshapes.
Sometimes a sign looks like the object or action it represents, but this is not always true. For many signs, a person just has to learn the meaning, like words in a spoken language. It's not easy to guess the meaning from what the sign looks like. This is another thing that makes sign languages different from mime; in mime, the meaning of a gesture is obvious, it doesn't have to be learned. However, signs aren't totally arbitrary either. Once a person knows the meaning of a sign, the form of the sign can often help remember the meaning.
Fingerspelling
Besides normal signs, many sign languages use fingerspelling. Fingerspelling is also known as a "hand alphabet" or "dactylology". In fingerspelling, each letter in the alphabet of a spoken language has its own sign. Fingerspelling is a tool. People use it to spell names, acronyms and other words from spoken languages. Sometimes people do this when there is not a sign yet. Sometimes people use a fingerspelled word even when there is a normal sign for the same meaning. For example, when talking about a person, a signer might spell their name using fingerspelling. Or, they may use a "name-sign"—a special sign for that person.
Fingerspelling is not universal. It is different in different sign languages. Two sign languages may have a similar fingerspelling system. Or, their fingerspelling systems may be very different. Some fingerspelling systems use only one hand. ASL uses a one-handed system. Other sign languages use both hands for fingerspelling. The BANZSL languages use a two-handed system. There are different fingerspelling systems for different writing systems. Japanese is written with different letters than English. This means fingerspelling in Japanese Sign Language is different from fingerspelling in ASL or BANZSL. ASL uses a lot of fingerspelling. Most sign languages use less fingerspelling than ASL. Some sign languages don't use fingerspelling at all.
Writing sign languages
There is not any official way of writing signs. Some deaf and hearing people think there should be. Some have invented different ways of writing sign languages. Here are some of them.
Other users of sign language don’t think writing signs is something useful. Usually, deaf people just write the spoken language in their country. They don't try to write the sign language.
Sign languages in deaf culture
Deaf people have their own culture. It is similar to the culture of hearing people around them, but there are important differences. Deaf people have different experiences from hearing people. This makes their culture different.
Sign language is the most important part of deaf culture. Through a sign language deaf people can create a social and cultural identity for themselves. They can communicate naturally with each other. The shared sign language helps hold their deaf community together. Hearing people use spoken languages to do the same things.
Some children are born deaf. Others lose their hearing because of illness when they are very young. These children often learn how to sign and become a part of the deaf community and deaf culture.
However, some people who are physically deaf do not participate in deaf community and deaf culture. Some people lose their hearing later in life. These people usually continue to interact with hearing people using a spoken language. They do not learn to sign. They do not make friends with deaf people who sign. They depend on hearing aids, lip-reading, or writing notes to communicate with their hearing friends.
Some deaf children learn to speak and lip-read a spoken language. This is a difficult skill, but some children succeed. Also, some may have surgery to get a cochlear implant. A cochlear implant helps some deaf children hear better. It is not the same as normal hearing, but it can help them learn to speak. These deaf people can interact with hearing people using a spoken language.
The term "deaf culture" usually refers only to the culture of deaf people who sign.
Definite description
In logic, a definite description is a term of the form 'the ...'. It is used to describe something. This is more difficult than it first appears, because:
Unfortunately, language allows to construct sentences, where the thing or person talked about is not unique, or it doesn't exist
Definite descriptions are called 'empty', if they violate one of the conditions above: Bertrand Russel l used the sentence "The present king of Freance is bald.". When Russel wrote this, in the early 20th century, France was a republic, and had no king.
Phoenix (Myrmidon)
In Greek mythology, Phoenix (Φοῖνιξ, Phoinix; gen. Φοίνικος, Phoinikos) was one of the Myrmidons (Achilles' five commanders during the Trojan War). His parents were Amyntor and Cleobule. He was the king of the Dolopes. He also took part in the hunt for the Calydonian Boar.

2011 Atlantic hurricane season
The 2011 Atlantic hurricane season was one of the most active Atlantic hurricane seasons since 1851. The season started on June 1, 2011 and it ended on November 30, 2011. This season has been "above-average". This means that there has been a lot of tropical cyclones that have developed in the Atlantic basin. The season started when Tropical Storm Arlene formed on June 29. It formed in the Gulf of Mexico. It then made landfall on Veracruz. The storm killed 25 people. The amount of damage was $223 million (2011 USD). After Arlene dissipated, a lot of tropical storms began developing. Most of them developed from a frontal boundary. Which makes this season the first time to have the first eight named storms to have not reached hurricane status.
The record ended when Hurricane Irene formed in late August. Irene also became the first major hurricane (being a category three or higher on the Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Scale). After Irene dissipated, Hurricane Katia became the second major hurricane of the season. With seventeen tropical storms, only four became hurricanes. The following hurricane was Hurricane Rina. Between September 7-9, there were three tropical cyclones active, which were Katia, Maria and Nate. This information made the Climate Prediction Center issue a La Niña Advisory.
