Liga ng mga Pilipinong Mag-aaral

Ang Liga ng mga Pilipinong Mag-aaral o mas kilala sa Ingles na League of Filipino Students (LFS) ay isang kilusang mag-aaral na naorganisa noong panahon ng batas militar sa Pilipinas ng mga militanteng mag-aaral na makakaliwa noong Setyembre 11, 1977, upang matugunan ang mga hinaing sa edukasyon at panunupil sa paaralan.
Nagsimula ang League of Filipino Student (LFS) noong Setyembre 11, 1977, bilang isang alyansa laban sa pagtaas ng matrikula at mga panunupil sa mga paaralan noong panahon ng batas militar . Pormal na idineklara ng samahan ang sarili noong 1982 bilang isang pambansang demokratikong organisasyong pangmasa.
Sa panahon ng rehimeng Marcos, ang mga mag-aaral ang pangunahing mga nagpoprotesta laban sa gobyerno. Inatasan ng LFS ang pag-atake laban sa gobyerno sa paggamit ng protesta ng mga mag-aaral. Pinamunuan ng grupo ang pulitika sa campus at isang malakas na ahente sa pagpapakilos ng mag-aaral na sinasabing nasa libu-libong mga miyembro na maaaring mabilis na magpakilos para sa aksyong masa.
Ang pagpatay kay Benigno Aquino Jr noong 1983, ang gobyerno ni Marcos ay naging mahina at ang organisasyon ay nagtakda ng isang pambansang pagpapakilos ng mga mag-aaral. Lumahok sila sa mga protesta laban sa gobyerno at sumali sa demonstrasyon sa kalye kasama ang mga manggagawa na naglipat sa grupo sa radikalismo ng mga mag-aaral. Naging pangunahing aktor sila sa pagtanggal kay Ferdinand Marcos mula sa kapangyarihan.
Ang LFS ay nananatiling isa sa pinakamalaking aktibong organisasyon ng mag-aaral sa Pilipinas . Patuloy na nakikilahok ang pangkat sa pakikibaka ng kabataan at mamamayan.
Noong 1997, isang pangkat ng mga kabataang Amerikano at mag-aaral ang nagpasya na bumuo ng isang sangay ng LFS sa San Francisco Bay Area. Noong 1998, nagpasya silang itayo ang samahan sa San Francisco State University. Mula nang maitatag ang LFS-SFSU, lumago na ito upang magpatuloy na suportahan ang pamayanang Pilipino sa Estados Unidos at gayun din sa Pilipinas.
Ang LFS-SFSU ay nakatuon upang palalimin ang pag-unawa sa konkretong koneksyon sa pagitan ng mga Pilipino sa Estados Unidos at Pilipinas sa pamamagitan ng pag-aaral at pagpapalaganap ng mayaman at mapagmataas na rebolusyonaryong pamana ng patuloy na pakikibaka para sa pagpapalaya at Pambansang Demokrasya.
Isinasaalang-alang nila ang sarili bilang kabataan at mag-aaral na mabago ang kultura at kasaysayan ng Pilipino, tukuyin ang kasalukuyang sitwasyon bilang mga Pilipino sa buong mundo, at maunawaan kung paano malulutas kasalukuyang kalagayan, at gumawa ng aksyon.
Ayon sa LFS, ito ay isang pambansang demokratikong organisasyong masa na may pananaw sosyalista. Naniniwala ito sa mga pangunahing katotohanan:
Dencio Padilla

Si Dencio Padilla (Setyembre 2, 1928 sa Nagcarlan, Laguna – Oktubre 10, 1997 sa Lungsod Quezon), ipinanganak bilang Prudencio Baldivia, ay isang artista at komedyante mula sa Pilipinas. Kilala sa tawag na Tata Dens sa mga kasamahan sa shobis, lumabas siya sa maraming pelikula bilang pansuportang aktor tulad ng Durango (1967). Kapansin-pansin na pangunahin siyang lumalabas sa mga pelikulang aksyon ni Fernando Poe Jr. bilang kanyang pansuportang artista o sidekick.
Dahil sa kanyang kahusayan bilang pansuportang aktor, nanomina siya ng iba't ibang parangal. Kabilang dito ang pagnomina sa kanya ng Gawad FAMAS bilang Pinakamahusay na Pansuportang Aktor para sa mga pelikulang Ito ang Maynila (1964) at Tatak ng Yakuza (1984). Noong 1991, nanalo naman siya sa kanyang nominasyon dahil sa paglabas niya siya sa pelikula nina Fernando Poe Jr. at Sharon Cuneta na Kahit Konting Pagtingin noong 1990, at dahil dito nagawaran siya ng parangal ng Film Academy of the Philippines (o FAP, literal sa Tagalog: Akademya ng Pelikula ng Pilipinas) bilang Pinakamahusay na Pansuportang Aktor.
Bilang isang komedyante, bagaman ipinanganak sa Nagcarlan, Laguna, kilala siya sa kanyang puntong Batangas o Batangueño (o puntong Ala Eh), isang puntong Tagalog. Ginagawa ito para sa epektong nakakatawa at bigyan diin ang katapangan at katarayan.
Ipinanganak si Dencio Padilla sa Nagcarlan, Laguna noong Setyembre 2, 1928. Naging asawa niya si Catalina Dominguez na mula sa Mabalacat, Pampanga. Tumira ang mag-asawa sa Lungsod ng Kalookan at nagkaroon sila ng walong anak kabilang ang pinakilala na si Dennis Padilla na naging artista din. Ang iba nilang anak ay sina Samuel, Glenn, Jennifer, Gene, Richard, Ched, at Rot.
Ang iba pang kilalang kapamilya niya ay ang mga artista din na sina Julia Barretto and Claudia Barretto na kanyang mga apo kay Dennis Padilla. At dahil dito, naging manugang niya si Marjorie Barretto na dating asawa ni Dennis Padilla.
Sinugod si Dencio Padilla sa ospital noong Setyembre 30, 1997 nang nakaramdam siya ng paninikip ng dibdib. Lalabas na sana siya sa ospital nang biglang huminto ang puso niya (o na-cardiac arrest). At dahil dito, namatay siya sa atake sa puso.
Naitampok si Dencio Padilla sa isang komiks na dihital na ipinaskil sa Facebook. Ginawa ang komiks na ito ni Alan Czar Santos para parangalan ang mga komedyanteng Pilipino na namatay na. Bukod kay Dencio, naroon din sa komiks ang iba pang tanyag na komedyante na namatay na tulad nina Dolphy, Panchito, Rene Requiestas, Babalu, Redford White, Tiya Pusit, Joy Viado, Larry Silva, Richie D'Horsie, Tado, Mely Tagasa, German Moreno, Blakdyak, Elizabeth Ramsey, Palito, at marami pang iba.

Live action

Live action is a form of cinematography or videography that uses photography instead of animation. Some works combine live action with animation to create a live-action animated feature film. Live action is used to define film, video games or similar visual media. Photorealistic animation, particularly modern computer animation, is sometimes erroneously described as "live action", as in the case of some media reports about Disney's remake of the traditionally animated The Lion King from 1994. According to the Cambridge English Dictionary, live action involves "real people or animals, not models, or images that are drawn, or produced by computer".
As the normal process of making visual media involves live action, the term itself is usually superfluous. However, it makes an important distinction in situations in which one might normally expect animation, such as when the work is adapted from a video game, or from an animated cartoon.
The phrase "live action" also occurs within an animation context to refer to non-animated characters: in a live-action/animated film such as Space Jam, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Looney Tunes: Back in Action, or Mary Poppins in which humans and cartoons co-exist. In this case, the "live-action" characters are the "real" actors, such as Michael Jordan, Bob Hoskins and Julie Andrews, as opposed to the animated "actors", such as Roger and Jessica Rabbit.
As use of computer-generated imagery (CGI) in films has become a major trend, some critics, such as Mark Langer, have discussed the relationship between live action and animation. New films that use computer-generated special effects can not be compared to live-action films using cartoon characters because of the perceived realism of both styles combined.
In producing a movie, both live action and animation have their own pros and cons. Unlike animation, live action involves the photography of actors and actresses, as well as sets and props making the movie seem personal and as close to reality as possible. The only drawback is one's budget. On the other hand, animation works well in conveying abstract ideas but it generally takes much longer to produce.
Jacket

A jacket is a garment for the upper body, usually extending below the hips. A jacket typically has sleeves and fastens in the front or slightly on the side. Jackets without sleeves are vests. A jacket is generally lighter, tighter-fitting, and less insulating than a coat, but both are outerwear. Some jackets are fashionable, while some others serve as protective clothing.
The word jacket comes from the French word jaquette. The term comes from the Middle French noun jaquet, which refers to a small or lightweight tunic. In Modern French, jaquette is synonymous with jacket. Speakers of American English sometimes informally use the words jacket and coat interchangeably. The word is cognate with Spanish jaco and Italian giacca or giacchetta, first recorded around 1350s. It is ultimately loaned from Arabic shakk (شكّ), which in turn loaned from Aramaic and Hebrew shaḳḳ (שַׁקּ).

Chore jacket

A chore jacket, also known as a chore coat, is a durable jacket typically crafted from sturdy fabrics like denim, heavy cotton drill, or moleskin. It features up to four large front pockets.
Originally, this type of jacket was worn as workwear by farm workers and labourers in late 19th-century France. It was commonly referred to as bleu de travail or "working blue" due to its indigo shade. Consequently, it is also known as a French worker's jacket. Typically, it was paired with matching trousers and was predominantly blue, although carpenters often sported black versions. Some workers even had a black jacket reserved for Sunday church services.
Chore jackets continue to be produced in France by traditional manufacturers. In the 2000s, the chore jacket gained popularity as an item of smart casual attire in Western countries, particularly among creative professionals. By 2016, all menswear brands in the United Kingdom were offering cotton chore jackets. The renowned photographer Bill Cunningham was known for his penchant for blue French chore jackets. In the 2020s, chore jackets were commonly used as uniforms for restaurant serving staff in the U.S.
The British donkey jacket, which features reinforced shoulder patches, bears some resemblance to the chore jacket.

Night and Sleep

Night and Sleep is an 1878 painting by Evelyn De Morgan, an English painter whose works were influenced by the style of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. In the painting dark-haired Night guides her son Sleep. His relaxed pose is set against the "more energetic line of his mother's body." Art historian Elise Lawton Smith notes that the couple's "horizontality suggests both sleep and lateral movement as they pass across the landscape". Poppies, symbolic of sleep, peace, death and the artist's pacifism, are listlessly strewn by the somnolent Sleep as he passes.
One of the first ever female pupils at London's Slade School, she has littered this work with hidden feminist symbolism. Whilst the scene depicts the arrival of sleep it can also be interpreted as "entering an new dawn, where the figure will awake to a world of equal gender rights, ready, like de Morgan, to make their mark."
Color gradient

In color science, a color gradient (also known as a color ramp or a color progression) specifies a range of position-dependent colors, usually used to fill a region.
In assigning colors to a set of values, a gradient is a continuous colormap, a type of color scheme. In computer graphics, the term swatch has come to mean a palette of active colors.
A colormap is a function which associate a real value r with point c in color space C {\displaystyle C}
which is defined by:
where:
Criteria for classification:
An axial color gradient (sometimes also called a linear color gradient) is specified by two points, and a color at each point. The colors along the line through those points are calculated using linear interpolation, then extended perpendicular to that line. In digital imaging systems, colors are typically interpolated in an RGB color space, often using gamma compressed RGB color values, as opposed to linear. CSS and SVG both support linear gradients.
A radial gradient is specified as a circle that has one color at the edge and another at the center. Colors are calculated by linear interpolation based on distance from the center. This can be used to approximate the diffuse reflection of light from a point source by a sphere. Both CSS and SVG support radial gradients.
Conic or conical gradients are gradients with color transitions rotated around a center point (rather than radiating from the center). Example conic gradients include pie charts and color wheels. Conic gradients are sometimes called "sweep gradients" (for example in the OpenType specification) or angular gradients.
In vector graphics polygon meshes can be used, e.g., Adobe Illustrator supported gradient meshes.
The appearance of a gradient not only varies by the color themselves, but also by the color space the calculation is performed in. The problem usually becomes important for two reasons:
A "linear" blend would match physical light blending and has been the standard in game engines for a long time. On the web, however, it has long been neglected for both color gradients and image scaling. Such a blend still has a subtle difference from one done in a perceptually-uniform color space.
Schlieren

Schlieren (/ˈʃlɪərən/ SHLEER-ən; German: [ˈʃliːʁn̩] , German for 'streaks') are optical inhomogeneities in transparent media that are not necessarily visible to the human eye. Schlieren physics developed out of the need to produce high-quality lenses devoid of such inhomogeneities. These inhomogeneities are localized differences in optical path length that cause deviations of light rays, especially by refraction. This light deviation can produce localized brightening, darkening, or even color changes in an image, depending on the directions the rays deviate.
Schlieren were first observed by Robert Hooke in 1665 using a large concave lens and two candles. One candle served as a light source. The warm air rising from the second candle provided the schliere. The conventional schlieren system is credited mostly to German physicist August Toepler, though Jean Bernard Léon Foucault invented the method in 1859 that Toepler improved upon. Toepler's original system was designed to detect schlieren in glass used to make lenses. In the conventional schlieren system, a point source is used to illuminate the test section containing the schliere. An image of this light is formed using a converging lens (also called a schlieren lens). This image is located at the conjugate distance to the lens according to the thin lens equation: 1 f = 1 d o + 1 d i {\displaystyle {\frac {1}{f}}={\frac {1}{d_{o}}}+{\frac {1}{d_{i}}}} where f {\displaystyle f} is the focal length of the lens, d o {\displaystyle d_{o}} is the distance from the object to the lens and d i {\displaystyle d_{i}} is the distance from the image of the object to the lens. A knife edge at the point source-image location is positioned as to partially block some light from reaching the viewing screen. The illumination of the image is reduced uniformly. A second lens is used to image the test section to the viewing screen. The viewing screen is located a conjugate distance from the plane of the schliere.
Schlieren flow visualization is based on the deflection of light by a refractive index gradient The index gradient is directly related to flow density gradient. The deflected light is compared to undeflected light at a viewing screen. The undisturbed light is partially blocked by a knife edge. The light that is deflected toward or away from the knife edge produces a shadow pattern depending upon whether it was previously blocked or unblocked. This shadow pattern is a light-intensity representation of the expansions (low density regions) and compressions (high density regions) which characterize the flow.
The schlieren effect is often used in video projector technologies. The basic idea is some device, such as a liquid crystal light valve, is used to produce schlieren distortions in a controlled manner and these are projected on a screen to produce the desired image. Projection display systems such as the now-obsolete Eidophor and Talaria have used variations of this approach as far back as 1940.
Amber (color)

The color amber is a pure chroma color, located on the color wheel midway between the colors of yellow and orange. The color name is derived from the material also known as amber, which is commonly found in a range of yellow-orange-brown-red colors; likewise, as a color, amber can refer to a range of yellow-orange colors. In English, the first recorded use of the term as a color name, rather than a reference to the specific substance, was in 1500.
Amber is one of several technically defined colors used in automotive signal lamps. In North America, SAE standard J578 governs the colorimetry of vehicle lights, while outside North America the internationalized European ECE regulations hold force. Both standards designate a range of orange-yellow hues in the CIE color space as "amber".
In the past, the ECE amber definition was more restrictive than the SAE definition, but the current ECE definition is identical to the more permissive SAE standard. The SAE formally uses the term "yellow amber", though the color is most often referred to as "yellow". This is not the same as selective yellow, a color used in some fog lamps and headlamps.
Previously, ECE amber was defined according to the 1968 Convention on Road Traffic, as follows:
Recent revisions to the ECE regulations have aligned ECE Amber with SAE Yellow, defined as follows:
The entirety of these definitions lie outside the gamut of the sRGB color space — such a pure color cannot be represented using RGB primaries. The color box shown above is a desaturated approximation, produced by taking the centroid of the standard definition and moving it towards the D65 white point, until it meets the sRGB gamut triangle.
The color temperature of LED lamps is called amber when their wavelengths are about 590 nm. Chronomatic low-pressure sodium-vapor lamps emit light ranging from 580 to 590 nm.

Yellow, red and orange goods

Yellow, red and orange goods are a three-part classification for consumer goods which is based on consumer buying habits, the durability of the goods, and the ways that the goods are sold. The classifications are for yellow goods, red goods, and orange goods, with orange goods being goods that have a mix of yellow and red characteristics. The classification of goods into yellow, red, and orange categories is roughly equivalent to the categories of shopping goods, convenience goods, and specialty goods.
Yellow goods (also called "shopping goods" or "white goods") are durable consumer items such as large household appliances that have a long period of useful life, and which are replaced rarely. While yellow goods are sold in low volumes, they have high profit margins. Yellow goods have a higher unit value than convenience goods and people buy them less often; as such consumers spend more time comparison shopping for yellow goods than for red goods. As well, there is a much greater role for personal selling (from salespeople) for yellow goods than for red goods, and there is more selective distribution of yellow goods. Yellow goods often need to be adjusted or customized by the store before they are delivered to the customer.
The consumer goods term "yellow goods" is different from the construction and agricultural industry term of the same name, which refers to bulldozers, tractors, and similar equipment.
Meaning fast consumer products
Orange goods (also called "specialty goods") are moderately durable goods that wear out with regular use and have to be replaced, such as clothing. Orange goods are unique, so consumers need to make more effort to acquire these items; as such exclusive distributor arrangements and franchises are often used to sell them.
Action fiction

Action fiction is a genre in literature that focuses on stories involving high-stakes, high-energy, and fast-paced events. This genre includes a wide range of subgenres, such as spy novels, adventure stories, tales of terror, intrigue ("cloak and dagger"), and mysteries. These kinds of stories utilize suspense, the tension that is built up when the reader wishes to know how the conflict between the protagonist and antagonist is going to be resolved or the solution to a mystery of a thriller.
The intricacies of human relationships or the nuances of philosophy and psychology are rarely explored in action fiction, typically being fast-paced mysteries that merely seek to provide the reader with an exhilarating experience.
Action fiction can also be a plot element of non-literary works such as graphic novels and film.
Action genre is a form of fiction whose subject matter is characterized by emphasis on exciting action sequences. This does not always mean they exclude character development or story-telling.
The action genre is also related to non-literary media including comic books, graphic novels (such as manga), anime, action film, action television series, and action games. It includes martial arts action, extreme sports action, car chases and vehicles, hand-to-hand combat, suspense action, and action comedy, with each focusing in more detail on its own type and flavor of action.
It is usually possible to identify the creative style of an action sequence, the emphasis of an entire work, so that, for example, the style of a combat sequence will indicate whether the entire work can be classified as action-adventure. Action is mainly defined by a central focus on any kind of exciting movement.
Action comedy

The action comedy is a genre that combines aspects of action and comedy. Films in this genre feature "fast and furious" action that is mostly lighthearted, with humor often derived from the characters rather than intense action sequences. Early examples include The General (1926) and swashbuckler films of the 1930s, while the genre became more common in the 1980s with buddy cop films and works featuring actors like Jackie Chan. In the 1990s, the genre incorporated more violent humor, and it continued to evolve in the 21st century with numerous notable films.
Action comedy has also been a recurring theme in television, with series such as The Dukes of Hazzard (1979–1985) and Peacemaker (2022).
AllMovie describes action comedy films as those with "fast and furious" action yet being "mostly lighthearted", rarely having death or serious injury. The Script Lab wrote, "[The genre] relies on the characters to bring out the humor, while the action scenes tend to be less intense than in the traditional action movie."
Action comedies often have "fish out of water" themes; for example, using a starring actor's celebrity to contrast the setting, such as how comedian and actor Eddie Murphy's "streetwise, sarcastic persona clashes with conventional police procedures in the Beverly Hills Cop films" in the late twentieth century.
The 1926 film The General starring Buster Keaton may be the first action comedy film. Other early forms of action comedy films were swashbuckler films from the 1930s. Allmovie wrote that its "stars combined wit and one-liners with a thrilling plot and daring stunts". In the 1980s, the genre became commonplace, and buddy cop films emerged as an extension of action comedy films such as Midnight Run (1988) and the Lethal Weapon film series. Other action comedies from the decade included The Blues Brothers (1980) and the films of actor and martial artist Jackie Chan.
In the 1990s, action comedy films "became more violent, with fiery deaths and emphatic shootings increasingly used as punchlines". Rotten Tomatoes wrote that Rush Hour (1998) revitalized the genre's formula and that Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) was a highlight from the decade. In the first two decades of the 21st century, the films Kung Fu Hustle (2004), Hot Fuzz (2007), Tropic Thunder (2008), 21 Jump Street (2012), and Bad Boys for Life (2020) were among numerous instances of the genre.
Experimental Cinema of the Philippines

The Experimental Cinema of the Philippines (ECP) was a government-owned corporation of the Republic of the Philippines created to promote the growth and development of the local film industry. Created in 1982 after the first Manila International Film Festival through Executive Order 770, the ECP was primarily known as a production company. However, it was created among other things; to hold the Manila International Film Festival, to manage the Manila Film Center, administer a film rating and classification system and to establish and operate the National Film Archive. It was also mandated to provide financial assistance to select motion pictures through a film fund.
For purposes of policy coordination, it was placed under the Ministry of Tourism. While its initial films were critically acclaimed, the ECP was accused of producing sex-oriented or "Bomba" films later in its history until it was dissolved in 1986.
From the official documents, the Experimental Cinema of the Philippines formally ceased its operations through the Executive Order No. 1051.
Action hero

An action hero (sometimes action heroine for women) is the protagonist of an action film or other form of entertainment which portrays action, adventure, and often violence. Action heroes are depicted in exciting or perilous chase sequences, fights, shootouts, explosions, and stunt work. Other media in which such heroes appear include swashbuckler films, Western films, old-time radio, adventure novels, dime novels, pulp magazines, and folklore.
The origin of the action hero is rooted in the history of imperialism with adventure stories being primarily written for boys, to imagine being men on travels and experiencing exciting action. Shawn Shimpach wrote, "The young, white men who were (or became) the aggrandized subjects of these stories motivated the narratives through their penchant for action and resolved conflict through violence informed by grit, wits, and innate skill, securing, in each story, the future of the world for which they were responsible and in the process confirming their masculine identity." In the early twentieth century, this storytelling was commercialized, and the stories were "readily adapted" to film. One of the earliest action-hero actors was Douglas Fairbanks. In the Chicago Tribune, Donald Liebenson wrote, "Douglas Fairbanks was Hollywood's first major action hero, best known for the costume epics that established him as the screen's most dashing swashbuckler." One of the defining action-hero characters played by Fairbanks was Zorro, which Michael Sragow called "the most influential action figure in film history and the happiest movie warrior of all time". Fairbanks was followed by Errol Flynn, who achieved fame as Robin Hood in the 1938 film The Adventures of Robin Hood.
In the middle of the twentieth century, "...the action genre was predictably populated by suave, attractive heroes living adventures of thrilling, exotic excitement, unimpeded by (if clearly aligned to) national, cultural, or state borders." When television became commonplace, shows that featured action heroes included Adventures of Superman (1952–1958), The Avengers (1961–1969), The Saint (1962–1969), The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (1964–1968), Batman (1966–1968), and Mission: Impossible (1966–1973). Shimpach said they "offered up extraordinary (if not always completely serious) white men who resolved conflict through direct action and violence while displaying their effortless mastery of urban spaces, new technologies, fashion, and their own bodies."
Killed in action

Killed in action (KIA) is a casualty classification generally used by militaries to describe the deaths of their personnel at the hands of enemy or hostile forces at the moment of action. The United States Department of Defense, for example, says that those declared KIA did not need to have fired their weapons, but only to have been killed due to hostile attack. KIAs include those killed by friendly fire during combat, but not from incidents such as accidental vehicle crashes, murder, or other non-hostile events or terrorism. KIA can be applied both to front-line combat troops and naval, air, and support forces.
Furthermore, the term died of wounds (DOW) is used to denote personnel who reached a medical treatment facility before dying. The category died of wounds received in action (DWRIA) is also used for combat related casualties which occur after medical evacuation.
PKIA means presumed killed in action. This term is used when personnel are lost in battle, initially listed missing in action (MIA), but after not being found, are later presumed to have not survived. This is typical of naval battles or engagements on other hostile environments where recovering bodies is difficult. A vast number of soldiers killed in action went unidentified in World War I, like John Kipling, the son of British poet Rudyard Kipling, prompting the formation of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
NATO defines killed in action or a battle casualty as a combatant who is killed outright or who dies as a result of wounds or other injuries before reaching a medical treatment facility or help from comrades.
United States Naval Academy Pipes and Drums

The United States Naval Academy Pipes and Drums is a highland musical midshipman unit of the United States Naval Academy (USNA). Currently, the 42-member military pipe band is the only active duty unit of its kind in any service of the Department of the Navy (United States Marine Corps included). The band group provides musical support to the academy's Brigade of Midshipmen as well as the larger city of Annapolis, Maryland. It is one of several service academies and senior military colleges to maintain bagpipe bands, alongside the West Point Pipes and Drums, the Pipes and Drums of The Citadel and the Virginia Military Institute Pipes and Drums. The USNA Pipe Band is one of the more recent of these types of bands, being established in 1996 with funding being provided by members of the Annapolis class of 1961. It was officially approved as a Brigade Support Activity (BSA) three years later.
Today, it provides musical support for the following events and musical requirements of the USNA:
The band wears a kilt which features the Polaris Military Tartan when they are in the parade ground. The design originated in the early 1960s and was pioneered by Captain Walter Schlech and Alexander MacIntyre of Strone. The tartan is patterned in service tartan of the navy and is similar to the Black Watch tartan with the only difference being the addition of a four thread overcheck consisting of yellow - black - sky blue - black - yellow.

Renaissance of the Celtic Harp

Renaissance de la Harpe Celtique or Renaissance of the Celtic Harp is a 1972 record album by the Breton master of the Celtic harp Alan Stivell that revolutionised the connection between traditional folk music, modern rock music and world music.
The release of this album with its fusion of classical, traditional folk and rock music, its mixture of instruments (cello, harp, electric guitar, traditional and modern drums) and its evocation of a utopian atmosphere and vision of humans in harmony with nature, immediately set it as a benchmark in the Celtic music revival of the 1970s.
The album influenced many harpists, Bretons like Myrdhin [fr] or Cécile Corbel but also Jo Morrison, Loreena McKennitt, Deborah Henson-Conant, Charles de Lint, Australian Robert Hart and Louisa John-Krol, Russian Anastasia Papisova [ru], Italian Vincenzo Zitello, Norwegian Kristian Nordeide, New York musicians Steven Halpern and Ben Kettlewell. By the time of his second album, in one year, the number of harps sold in France had reached into the thousands.

Army School of Bagpipe Music and Highland Drumming

The Army School of Bagpipe Music and Highland Drumming is a British Army training establishment that provides instruction on Scottish pipe band music to military pipers and drummers.
Founded in 1910 as the Army School of Piping (later renamed the Army School of Bagpipe Music), the School was formerly located at Edinburgh Castle but is now located at Inchdrewer House near Redford Barracks in Edinburgh, Scotland and is administered by the Infantry Training Centre, it is also affiliated with the Royal Corps of Army Music. Generally regarded as the smallest unit in the British Army, the School is now commanded by a Director who is a qualified army Pipe Major and who usually holds the rank of Captain or Major (usually being commissioned from Warrant Officer rank on appointment). The Director is assisted by a Chief Instructor, who is the Senior Pipe Major of the British Army.
The School provides courses at different levels to pipers and drummers of the British Armed Forces throughout the year, and qualified instructors are drawn from the pipes and drums of various units in the British Army. The School accepts students from Commonwealth armed forces, but not civilians. It has in the past provided instruction to various police band members, but this has not taken place for a number of years.
The School forms part of the Piping and Drumming Qualifications Board, which is a collaboration among the Piobaireachd Society, the Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association, the College of Piping, and the National Piping Centre. Together, the Institute sets a standardised piping certificate programme for students from around the world.

Tweed

Tweed is a rough, woollen fabric, of a soft, open, flexible texture, resembling cheviot or homespun, but more closely woven. It is usually woven with a plain weave, twill or herringbone structure. Colour effects in the yarn may be obtained by mixing dyed wool before it is spun.
Tweeds are an icon of traditional Scottish, Irish, Welsh, and English clothing, being desirable for informal outerwear, due to the material being moisture-resistant and durable. Tweeds are made to withstand harsh climates and are commonly worn for outdoor activities such as shooting and hunting. In Ireland, tweed manufacturing is now most associated with County Donegal but originally covered the whole country. In Scotland, tweed manufacturing is most associated with the Isle of Harris in the Hebrides.
The original name of the cloth was tweel, Scots for twill, the material being woven in a twilled rather than a plain pattern. A traditional story has the name coming about almost by chance. Around 1831, a London merchant, James Locke, received a letter from a Hawick firm, Wm. Watson & Sons, Dangerfield Mills about some "tweels". The merchant misinterpreted the handwriting, understanding it to be a trade-name taken from the River Tweed that flows through the Scottish Borders textile area. The goods were subsequently advertised as Tweed and the name has remained since.
Traditionally used for upper-class country clothing such as shooting jackets, tweed became popular among the Edwardian middle classes who associated it with the leisurely pursuits of the elite. Due to their durability tweed Norfolk jackets and plus-fours were a popular choice for hunters, cyclists, golfers, and early motorists, hence Kenneth Grahame's depiction of Mr. Toad in a Harris Tweed suit. Popular patterns include houndstooth, associated with 1960s fashion, windowpane, gamekeeper's tweed worn by academics, Glen plaid check, originally commissioned by Edward VII, and herringbone.
During the 2000s and 2010s, members of long-established British and American land-owning families started to wear high-quality heirloom tweed inherited from their grandparents, some of which pre-dated the Second World War.
In modern times, cyclists may wear tweed when they ride vintage bicycles on a Tweed Run. This practice has its roots in the British young fogey and hipster subcultures of the late 2000s and early 2010s, whose adherents appreciate both vintage tweed, and bicycles.
Some vintage Danemann upright pianos have a tweed cloth backing to protect the internal mechanism. Occasionally, Scottish bagpipes were covered in tweed as an alternative to tartan wool.
The term "tweed" is used to describe coverings on instrument cables and vintage or retro guitar amplifiers, such as the Fender tweed and Fender Tweed Deluxe. Despite the terminology, many of these coverings were not considered tweed but cotton twill due to the cover's design, which caused this misidentification of the design.
List of Dennis the Menace (1959 TV series) episodes

This is a list of episodes from the 1959–1963 United States television series Dennis the Menace. The series is based on the Hank Ketcham comic strip of the same name.
The series ran for four seasons for a total of 146 episodes from October 4, 1959 (1959-10-4) to July 7, 1963 (1963-7-7).
All of the episodes in this show are black-and-white.
Strangely, most episodes in this season replace the 1960 Screen Gems logo with the 1955 Screen Gems logo, with the exception of Episode 4 of this season, which is the only Season 2 episode to use the 1960 Screen Gems logo. The next 2 seasons replace the 1955 Screen Gems logo with the 1960 Screen Gems logo. Instead of 32 episodes in the season again, this season has 38.
This is the final season to keep the 1959-1962 title screen intact. The Screen Gems logo after the closing credits has been updated for all episodes, using the 1960 Screen Gems logo instead of the 1955 Screen Gems logo.
For the final season, the title card was updated. All the episodes in the fourth and final season of Dennis the Menace: The Classic Series use the 1962-1963 title cards instead of the 1959-1962 title screen. No new episode was released on June 23, 1963, or June 30, 1963.
