The Battle of Bautersem
The Battle of Bautersem (Dutch: De Slag bij Bautersem) is an 1833 history painting by the Dutch artist Nicolaas Pieneman featuring a scene from the Ten Days' Campaign of the Belgian Revolution. The title refers to an alternative name of the Battle of Leuven, fought in August 1831 near Boutersem in Flemish Brabant. It depicts the moment the Dutch commander William, Prince of Orange's horse was shot from under him, and he is shown about to mount another horse.

Orange led the Dutch Army to victory, defeating Belgian forces under the command of Leopold I. Although further progress was halted by the intervention of a French Army under Marshal Gérard, the battle was hailed as a patriotic Dutch triumph and a personal vindication for Orange. Pieneman was the son of the artist Jan Willem Pieneman and produced a number of scenes from Dutch history as well as portraits. Today the painting is in the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.

Battle of Leuven (1831)
The Battle of Leuven or Battle of Boutersem was a battle of the Ten Days' Campaign during the Belgian Revolution. The battle took place on 12 August and officially ended on 13 August 1831. The Dutch army defeated the Belgian rebels, but were forced to withdraw in order to avoid war with France, as a large French army under Maréchal Gérard had crossed the border to support the Belgian rebels. They concluded a truce with the Belgians, allowing them to take the city for a few hours on 13 August.

PAL
Phase Alternating Line (PAL) is a colour encoding system for analogue television. It was one of three major analogue colour television standards, the others being NTSC and SECAM. In most countries it was broadcast at 625 lines, 50 fields (25 frames) per second, and associated with CCIR analogue broadcast television systems B, D, G, H, I and K. The articles on analogue broadcast television systems further describe frame rates, image resolution, and audio modulation.

PAL was developed by Walter Bruch at Telefunken in Hanover, West Germany, with important input from Gerhard Mahler. The format was patented by Telefunken in December 1962, citing Bruch as inventor, and unveiled to members of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) on 3 January 1963. When asked why the system was named "PAL" and not "Bruch", the inventor answered that a "Bruch system" would probably not have sold very well ("Bruch" is the German word for "breakage").

Sniderman was also a major promoter of Canadian music including involvement in pushing for the Canadian content (CANCON) broadcast regulations and creating the Juno Awards.

Record shop
A record shop or record store is a retail outlet that sells recorded music. Per the name, in the late 19th century and the early 20th century, record shops only sold gramophone records. But over the course of the 20th century, record shops sold the new formats that were developed, such as eight track tapes, compact cassettes and compact discs (CDs). Today, in the 21st century, record stores mainly sell CDs, vinyl records and, in some cases, DVDs of movies, TV shows, cartoons and concerts. Some record stores also sell music-related items such as posters of bands or singers, related clothing items and even merchandise such as bags and coffee mugs.

Even when CDs became popular during the 1990s, people in English-speaking countries continued using the term "record shop" to describe a shop selling sound recordings. With the vinyl revival of the 21st century, often generating more income than CDs, the name is again accurate.
