Headroom (audio signal processing)
In digital and analog audio, headroom refers to the amount by which the signal-handling capabilities of an audio system can exceed a designated nominal level. Headroom can be thought of as a safety zone allowing transient audio peaks to exceed the nominal level without damaging the system or the audio signal, e.g., via clipping. Standards bodies differ in their recommendations for nominal level and headroom.

Clipping (audio)
Clipping is a form of waveform distortion that occurs when an amplifier is overdriven and attempts to deliver an output voltage or current beyond its maximum capability. Driving an amplifier into clipping may cause it to output power in excess of its power rating.

In the frequency domain, clipping produces strong harmonics in the high-frequency range (as the clipped waveform comes closer to a square wave).  The extra high-frequency weighting of the signal could make tweeter damage more likely than if the signal were not clipped.

In most cases, the distortion associated with clipping is unwanted, and is visible on an oscilloscope even if it is inaudible. However, clipping is often used in music for artistic effect, particularly guitar-dominant genres like blues, rock, and metal.

He was the son of the cantor Borukh Leib Shulman (1870-1963) and was great-grandson of the writer Kalman Schulman (1819-1899). He was one of the most popular Yiddish singers in the Soviet Union alongside some of his contemporaries such as Mikhail Alexandrovich, Emil Gorovets, Anna Guzik, and Sidi Tal.

Manhole (manga)
Manhole (Japanese: マンホール, Hepburn: Manhōru) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Tetsuya Tsutsui. It was serialized in Young Gangan from 2004 to 2006, with its individual chapters being collected into three volumes. The series follows two prefectural police officers as they investigate the mysterious source of a contagious disease.

Tsutsui conceived of the plot after reading a novel on bacterial diseases, which led him to research the subject. Critical reception has been positive, with critics praising the story and artwork, albeit offering mixed reception on the characters.

In 2009, the first volume was designated as a "harmful book" by Nagasaki Prefecture and effectively banned from sale there. Tsutsui only learned of the designation five years after the fact, and attempted to overturn it but was ultimately unable to do so; this experience led him to create Yūgai Toshi, which centers around censorship of manga.
