Rockabilly music
Rockabilly music has musical styles from blues music and country music.
It uses the acoustic guitar, the electric guitar, the double bass, drums, and singing.
Some Rockabilly songs also use the piano or the harmonica.
Rockabilly music usually has a strong rhythm from the double bass being played in a "slap" style.
Rockabilly singers often use a wide range, with high notes and many shouts like “go man go” and "yeah!"
Rockabilly musicians
One of the earliest musicians who played rockabilly music was Elvis Presley.
Another famous rockabilly musician was Carl Perkins, who wrote the popular song Blue Suede Shoes.
Jerry Lee Lewis was a piano player who sang.
Jerry Lee Lewis was known for his crazy behavior on stage, which audiences liked.
Lewis would play the piano with his feet, elbows and butt.
Gene Vincent was a rockabilly musician who wore black leather and sang songs about sex and getting into trouble.
Vincent's most popular song is “Be-Bop-A-Lula”.
Eddie Cochran wrote songs about teen life, and had hit songs like “Summertime Blues” and “C’mon Everybody.”
Rockabilly revival
Rockabilly became popular again in the 1980s, when bands such as the Stray Cats became popular.

Blu-ray Disc is a high-density optical disc format similar to DVD.
Blu-ray is the type of disc used for PlayStation 3 games and for playing high-definition (HD) movies.
In the past, there were other standards for such movies, such as the HD DVD format.
Blu-ray won what is called the format war.
A dual-layer Blu-ray disc can store up to 50GB (gigabytes) of data.
This is over five times the capacity of a DVD, and over 70 times more than a CD or VCD.
The disc was developed by the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA), a group of consumer electronics, personal computer and media manufacturers, and released in 2006.
The format was developed for recording, rewriting and playback of high-definition video (HD), as well as storing large amounts of data.
Older optical disc technologies such as DVD, DVD±R, DVD±RW, and DVD-RAM used a red laser to read and write data.
The new format used a blue-violet laser instead.
This is where the name is from.

The Chera dynasty (Tamil: சேரர் Malayalam: േചര ) was one of the ancient Tamil dynasties who ruled the southern India from ancient times until around the fifteenth century CE.
The Early Cheras ruled over the Malabar Coast, Coimbatore, Karur and Salem Districts in South India, which now forms part of the modern day Kerala  and Tamil Nadu states of India.
The Chola dynasty (சோழர் குலம்) was a Tamil dynasty that ruled in southern India until the 13th century.
The dynasty came from the fertile valley of the Kaveri River.
Karikala Chola was the most famous among the early Chola kings, while Rajaraja Chola, Rajendra Chola and Kulothunga Chola I were famous emperors of the medieval Cholas.
The Cholas were at the height of their power during the tenth, eleventh and twelfth centuries.
Under Rajaraja Chola I (Rajaraja the Great) and his son Rajendra Chola, the dynasty became a military, economic and cultural power in Asia.
The Chola territories stretched from the islands of the Maldives in the South to as far North as the banks of the Ganges River in Bangladesh.
Alice O'Connor (born Alisa Zinovyevna Rosenbaum , .., 1905 – March 6, 1982), better known by her pen name Ayn Rand (), was a Russian-born American writer, screenwriter, playwright and philosopher.
She published several popular books in the United States during the mid-1900s, including her two best-selling novels, Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead, plus We the Living and Anthem.
Her novels promoted a viewpoint of laissez-faire  capitalism as a political and social goal.
It is a kind of political philosophy known in the U.S.A. as libertarian conservatism.
She called this philosophy 'objectivism'.
Rand was born in St. Petersburg, Russia and grew up during the Russian Revolution, in the years after World War I. She left Russia to visit relatives in Chicago in the United States when she was 21 years old.
She did not want to return to live under Communism, and stayed in the US.
She changed her name, partly to protect her family in Russia.
Rand moved to California to become a movie writer.
Movies at the time did not have sound, and stories were mimed on camera.
Dialogue was not important, so Rand could write simple stories while she improved her English language skills.
Rand met Frank O'Connor on a movie set, when they both appeared as extras.
When O'Connor married Rand in 1929, she could live permanently in America.
O'Connor gave up his acting career, to work full-time so Rand could write full-time.
Later he retired, when Rand's work made a good income.
He began painting late in his life.
He died in 1979.
Rand was a longtime tobacco smoker.
She had lung cancer, but she recovered from the disease after surgery.
She died of cardiovascular disease in New York City on March 6, 1982.
Rand's first book was We the Living.
It is about life in Russia during and after the Russian Revolution, and how life in the later Soviet Union destroys the dreams and hopes of its main characters, who are mostly young people.
Her second book was Anthem, which is a science fiction novella, a dystopian story about a man named Equality 7-2521 who lives in a future society.
In that place, everybody is given their name by the government, and nobody can use the words "I" or "me".
He escapes from this society with a partner, to live freely in a house in a hidden place.
Her stage play Woman on Trial (better known as Night of January 16th) used audience members as a jury, to decide the play's outcome (by voting the lead character guilty or not guilty) each time it was performed.
Some celebrities, such as Helen Keller, appeared as jury members.
Her third novel was The Fountainhead.
It is about an architect, who wants to have control over his building designs, and does not like when he has to compromise his building designs.
The Fountainhead became a best-seller, and was made into a movie starring Gary Cooper and Patricia Neal.
Her fourth novel was Atlas Shrugged.
It is her longest book.
It was also a best-seller.
It tells a story about a worldwide economic crisis.
This is caused by the best minds in business, industry, and science, and after a while all thinking people, quitting their jobs and disappearing.
This is a protest against government regulations that get in the way of their work or make it harder to do.
The more that governments get in the way, the worse conditions become, until society collapses.
A new future begins when the people who disappeared return, and governments adopt laissez-faire principles, that do not try to control how businesses work, or misuse innovations.
After writing Atlas Shrugged, she wrote non-fiction books about her Objectivist ideas.
She published The Objectivist , which then became The Objectivist magazine, with contributions by other writers.
She also published The Ayn Rand Letter, a later newsletter about her ideas.
Rand's views are typical libertarian–conservative views.
Freedom of the individual, the evils of 'large' government, the economic benefits of low taxes and 'small' government, the 'open' society: these are values which run through all her work.
Rand invented a philosophy that she called "Objectivism".
She was against communism, socialism, and collectivism, which are political systems where a community or the government of a country takes charge of distribution of that country's goods and products.
She opposed altruism, which she viewed as a form of self-sacrifice.
She favored a form of rational selfishness.
She also thought that countries should have very small governments.
Rand did not think that welfare payments to poor people were a good thing, because this involves using force to take money away from others.
She believed that charity (giving money away) could be a good thing if the person giving the money wanted and chose to do it, but she did not think that people should be expected or forced to give away their money.

Alexander Valterovich Litvinenko (30 August  or 4 December  1962 – 23 November 2006) was a lieutenant-colonel in the Russian Security Service.
Later he was a dissident and writer who was later poisoned and killed in 2006.
In September 2021, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that Russia was responsible for Litvinenko's poisoning.
Litvinenko worked for the KGB and the FSB through the 1980s and 1990s.
Later, he accused his bosses of planning to assassinate Russian billionaire Boris Berezovsky.
As a result, he was arrested, but later released by Russian authorities.
Afterwards, he fled to the United Kingdom and was given British citizenship.
While he was in Russia, Litvinenko tried to publish a book in which he said President Vladimir Putin rose to power with help of the FSB.
He said the FSB tried to cover this up by frightening Russians by bombing apartment buildings in Moscow.
He said the FSB then pinned the blame on terrorists operating from Chechnya.
On 1 November 2006, Litvinenko suddenly became sick and was hospitalized.
He died in London three weeks later, as a result of poisoining by polonium-210.
The news of his death spread around the world, and many felt the poisoning was done by the Russian government.
Vladimir Putin and Kremlin spokesmen have repeatedly denied this, and many new leads have been taken upon during the case.
Although there are some suspects and theories in the murder, no official arrest has been made yet.
How the poison works
Unlike most common radiation sources, polonium-210 emits only alpha particles.
These do not penetrate even a sheet of paper or human skin.
Thus they are invisible to normal radiation detectors.
Hospitals only have equipment to detect gamma rays.
Both gamma rays and alpha particles are classified as ionizing radiation, and can cause radiation sickness.
An alpha-emitting substance can cause damage only if taken in (as food or drink) or inhaled (breathed in).
It acts on living cells like a short-range weapon.p327 Litvinenko was tested for alpha-emitters using special equipment only hours before his death.
Coprophilia is a sexual fetish people have where they enjoy coming into contact with feces.
Possible other names for coprophilia include scat-play, scat kink, or shit kink.
Coprophilia is said to be liking the smell, taste, or feel of feces in a sexual way.
The feeling can be either through touching the skin or through rubbing the penis head against feces.
Enjoyment can also be made from the feeling of feces passing through the anus, or having a sexual partner excrete feces onto their chest.
Eating feces is also known as coprophagia.
This is bad for one's body.
A person who eats feces is at risk of falling ill with  hepatitis, infection, and HIV/AIDS.
Those with weak immune systems should not eat feces.
There are also social problems with eating feces.
It causes bad breath, is commonly seen as disgusting, and is taboo.
There are those who make movies involving coprophilia and coprophagia.
This is called scatology.
One of the more famous pornographic films involving coprophila is known as Hungry Bitches, a pornographic movie produced by MFX Media.
The opening scene that became an internet reaction video trend is known as Two Girls One Cup.
Creators would have a friend, family member, or sibling watch Two Girls One Cup and record and post their (usually digust-filled and comedic) reaction to the film.
They won over the ancient Chola, Pandya and Chera dynasties and replaced them.
There is little information about their origin and details about their reign.
They did not leave any monuments.
The only source of information on them are to be found in Buddhist and Jain literature.
They were displaced around the 7th century by the revival of Pallava and Pandya power.
Hindu scholars and authors who wrote in the 7th and 8th century C.E. when Pandya and Pallava had taken over again have written very little about the Kalabhra in their texts.
Perhaps therefore the period of their rule is known as a ‘Dark Age’ – an interregnum.

NASCAR (National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing) is an American organization that operates different auto racing series.
The company was founded by Bill France Sr.,
and since August 6 2018 Jim France has been the CEO.
The three largest racing series run by NASCAR are the NASCAR Cup Series, the NASCAR Xfinity Series, and the NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series.
In addition to the three national series, NASCAR also organizes racing at over 1,500 short tracks around The United States, Canada, Mexico, and Europe.
The NASCAR Cup Series is the highest level of racing in NASCAR.
Drivers race in 36 races a year, and the driver with the most points at the end of the year is awarded the NASCAR Cup.
The closest championship battle was in 2011, and was won by Tony Stewart, who finished the season tied in driver points with Carl Edwards.
Stewart won the Cup with five race wins on the season to Edwards' one.
This ended a streak of five Sprint Cup wins by Jimmie Johnson.
Kyle Busch was the 2019 Cup Series champion.
It was his second championship.
He won his first championship in 2015.
The series began in 1949 as the Strictly Stock Series, and became the Grand National Series the next year.
In 1971, R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company became the series sponsor, and named it the Winston Cup Series after one of its cigarette brands.
After the 2003 season, a new sponsorship deal was reached with Nextel Communications, a mobile phone company, and the series became the Nextel Cup Series.
The Sprint Cup name was first used in 2008, after Nextel was purchased by another phone company, Sprint, to form Sprint Nextel.
After the 2016 season a new sponsorship deal reached with Monster Energy, an energy drink, and the series became the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series.
Monster Energy was the series sponsor through 2019.
In 2020, the series does not have a main sponsor.
Instead, there are four "premier partner" sponsors for the series.
These sponsors are Coca-Cola, Busch Beer, Xfinity, and GEICO.
Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt, and Jimmie Johnson have the most NASCAR Cup Series championships.
They each have seven championships.
Xfinity Series
The Xfinity Series is often called the minor series of NASCAR.
Drivers who wish to drive in the NASCAR Cup series often race here first.
Drivers race in 33 races, and the driver with the most points at the end of the year becomes the Xfinity Series champion.
The series grew out of NASCAR's Sportsman division, created in 1950 as a short track racing division.
It became a national touring series in 1982.
The new series was sponsored by Anheuser-Busch, first as the Budweiser Grand National Series and then as the Busch Grand National Series beginning in 1984.
In 2003, NASCAR chose to drop the "Grand National" part of the name, making the competition the Busch Series.
After Anheuser-Busch told NASCAR it would not renew its sponsorship after the 2007 season, Nationwide Insurance became the new sponsor starting in 2008.
It left at the end of 2014 and the series became the Xfinity series in 2015.
Tyler Reddick was the 2019 Xfinity Series champion.
It was his second championship in a row.
He won his first championship in 2018.

The most championships ever won in the Xfinity Series by a single driver are 2.
Drivers who have won 2 championships include Sam Ard, Jack Ingram, Larry Pearson, Randy LaJoie, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Martin Truex Jr., Kevin Harvick, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., and Tyler Reddick.
Gander RV and Outdoors Truck Series
The Gander Outdoors Truck Series is pickup truck racing.
This series is often known simply as the "Truck Series".
The drivers race in 23 races a year.
The driver with the most points at the end of the year is called the Gander Outdoors Truck Series Champion.
The series began in 1995 with American department store Sears as sponsor, using its well-known Craftsman brand of tools.
The first season was known as the SuperTruck Series presented by Craftsman; the name changed to Craftsman Truck Series the next year.
Sears ended its sponsorship of the series after the 2008 season.
Camping World, which sells camping supplies and parts and services for recreational vehicles, became the new sponsor in 2009.
In 2019, Gander Outdoors became the title sponsor.
In 2020, the series is called the Gander RV and Outdoors Truck Series.

He is the first driver to win the championship without winning any races in the same season.
It was his third championship.
Ron Hornaday, Jr. has the most NASCAR Truck Series championships.
He has four championships.
The history of NASCAR
The unofficial racing that became NASCAR started during the Prohibition Era of the 1920s.
From 1920 to 1933, it was illegal for people in the United States to sell or drink alcoholic beverages.
Even though it was illegal, people still made beer and whiskey (or also known as "moonshine"), and the makers needed people to drive their illegal whiskey to their customers.
The drivers were known as "bootleggers".
These bootleggers were known for making their cars' engines faster and driving fast.
Eventually, they got together and started racing to see whose car was the fastest.
These unofficial races became NASCAR.
TV coverage of NASCAR races has grown considerably since it started in 1972.

The Klingon Language Institute (KLI) is an organization who helps to teach and learn the Klingon language.
Klingon is a language that has been made for the television show Star Trek.
In the television show, the Klingons are a fictional (made-up) alien people who do not come from Earth.
: language opens worlds - motto of the Klingon Language Institute.
The KLI is in Flourtown, Pennsylvania (USA).
The organization started in 1992.
For many years, students of the KLI got a small book called  (Klingon for language science) four times a year.
Today, they can only get this booklet through the internet.
Each year they have a meeting called ''' (the Klingon word for big meeting).
Every student of the KLI can go to this meeting.
At the meeting, they can speak and learn the Klingon language.
At the "" of the year 2003, a documentary movie about the KLI was made.
Its name is Earthlings: Ugly Bags of Mostly Water.
This movie was shown at the Cannes Film Festival in France.
From time to time a so-called Beginners' Grammarian is chosen from the best Klingon speakers.
His duty is to help and teach the beginners of the Klingon language, especially in the Klingon email discussion group, which anyone can use.
When his duty is over, he can still be called "Grammarian".
Today, the KLI has about 20 of those former Beginners' Grammarians.
The KLI talks very often with Marc Okrand, the person who made the Klingon language.
Since the third  he has visited each one.
When he is there, the students give him a list with words that they like to know.
Not all the words are translated into Klingon.
When he makes these new words, members of the KLI can read them in .
Special Speakers
Rich Yampell
Rich Yampell (known to people who speak Klingon as  or "Captain Krankor"), a software engineer currently living in Bellevue, Washington, is probably the world's first person to speak Klingon in normal conversation.
He is the author of the book The Grammarian's Desk, published in 1996 by the Klingon Language Institute, a collection of the columns he wrote for the Institute's scholarly journal .
Yampell is also the author and co-author of many songs, such as the Klingon Anthem " " (music and lyrics), " " (music and lyrics), "" (music).
d'Armond Speers
He graduated from Georgetown University in 2002.
His final work topic was "Representation of American Sign Language for Machine Translation."
Dr. Speers has tried to teach his child in Klingon; He only spoke to him in Klingon, and his wife spoke to him in English.
When the child became older, he did not want to learn Klingon any more, because there was nobody to talk in Klingon.
Lawrence M. Schoen
Dr. Lawrence M. Schoen is the founder and current director of the KLI.
He makes the Institute's journal .
He has organized almost every , only two were organized by somebody else.

Journalism is a type of writing.
It includes writing for newspapers, news shows on television, news shows on radio, and news magazine.
There are many different news and information jobs in the field of journalism, such as the jobs of newspaper reporter, television news anchor, writer, editor, sub-editor, illustrator, and photographer.
People who work in journalism jobs are called journalists.
While various existing codes have some differences, most share common elements including the principles of – truthfulness, accuracy, objectivity, impartiality, fairness and public accountability – as these apply to the acquisition of newsworthy information and its subsequent dissemination to the public.
Sir Timothy John "Tim" Berners-Lee OM KBE FRS (born 8 June 1955) is the inventor of the World Wide Web and he created a new computer language called HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) which most web pages are written in.
The first web page was available on 6 August 1991.
Berners-Lee now leads the World Wide Web Consortium.
That is an organization that looks after the World Wide Web.
He is the author of the book Weaving the Web.
He is a director of The Web Science Research Initiative (WSRI), and a member of the advisory board of the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence.
In April 2009, he was elected as a member of the United States National Academy of Sciences, based in Washington, D.C. In 1999, Time Magazine named Berners-Lee one of the 100 Most Important People of the 20th Century.
In March 2000 he was awarded an honorary degree from the Open University as Doctor of the university.
Tim Berners-Lee was born in London, on 8 June 1955.
He is the son of Conway Berners-Lee and Mary Lee Woods.
First, he attended Sheen Mount primary school.
Then he went on to Emanuel School in London, from 1969 to 1973.
After that, he studied at Queen's College, Oxford, from 1973 to 1976.
While he was there, he received a first-class degree in Physics.
Longer Biography
For those who want details for some reason.
This is more or less a collection of everything which has been asked for to date.
In 1989, while working at CERN, the European Particle Physics Laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland, Tim Berners-Lee proposed a global hypertext project, to be known as the World Wide Web.
Based on the earlier "Enquire" work, it was designed to allow people to work together by combining their knowledge in a web of hypertext documents.
He wrote the first World Wide Web server, "httpd", and the first client, "WorldWideWeb" a what-you-see-is-what-you-get hypertext browser/editor which ran in the NeXTStep environment.
This work was started in October 1990, and the program "WorldWideWeb" first made available within CERN in December, and on the Internet at large in the summer of 1991.
Through 1991 and 1993, Tim continued working on the design of the Web, coordinating feedback from users across the Internet.
His initial specifications of URIs, HTTP and HTML were refined and discussed in larger circles as the Web technology spread.
Tim Berners-Lee graduated from the Queen's College at Oxford University, England, 1976.
Whilst there he built his first computer with a soldering iron, TTL gates, an M6800 processor and an old television.
A year and a half spent as an independent consultant included a six-month stint (Jun-Dec 1980) as consultant software engineer at CERN.
Whilst there, he wrote for his own private use his first program for storing information including using random associations.
Named "Enquire" and never published, this program formed the conceptual basis for the future development of the World Wide Web.
From 1981 until 1984, Tim worked at John Poole's Image Computer Systems Ltd, with technical design responsibility.
Work here included real time control firmware, graphics and communications software, and a generic macro language.
In 1984, he took up a fellowship at CERN, to work on distributed real-time systems for scientific data acquisition and system control.
Among other things, he worked on FASTBUS system software and designed a heterogeneous remote procedure call system.
In 1994, Tim founded the World Wide Web Consortium at the then Laboratory for Computer Science (LCS) which merged with the Artificial Intelligence Lab in 2003 to become the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Since that time he has served as the Director of the World Wide Web Consortium a Web standards organization which develops interoperable technologies (specifications, guidelines, software, and tools) to lead the Web to its full potential.
The Consortium has host sites located at MIT, at ERCIM in Europe, and at Keio University in Japan as well as Offices around the world.
In 1999, he became the first holder of 3Com Founders chair at MIT.
In 2008 he was named 3COM Founders Professor of Engineering in the School of Engineering, with a joint appointment in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at CSAIL where he also leads the Decentralized Information Group (DIG).
Co-Chaired by Dr. Lalana Kagal, the DIG Research Group works on projects including: how to re-decentralize the Web and help radically change the way Web applications work today, resulting in true data ownership; working to ensure the rights of users in big data and analytics and systems; as well as harnessing mobile technologies to aid during disaster relief and help society.
In 2016, Sir Tim joined the Computer Science Department at the University of Oxford as a Professor.
In 2008 he founded and became Director of the World Wide Web Foundation.
The Web Foundation is a non-profit organisation devoted to achieving a world in which all people can use the Web to communicate, collaborate and innovate freely.
The Web Foundation words to fund and coordinate efforts to defend the Open Web and further its potential to benefit humanity.
In June 2009 then Prime Minister Gordon Brown announced that he would work with the UK Government to help make data more open and accessible on the Web, building on the work of the Power of Information Task Force.
Sir Tim was a member of The Public Sector Transparency Board tasked to drive forward the UK Government's transparency agenda.
He has promoted open government data globally, is a member of the UK's Transparency Board.
In 2011 he was named to the Board of Trustees of the Ford Foundation, a globally oriented private foundation with the mission of advancing human welfare.
He is President of the UK's Open Data Institute which was formed in 2012 to catalyse open data for economic, environmental, and social value.
On 4 April 2017, Sir Tim was awarded the ACM A.M. Turing Prize for inventing the World Wide Web, the first web browser, and the fundamental protocols and algorithms allowing the Web to scale.
The Turing Prize, called the "Nobel Prize of Computing" is considered one of the most prestigious awards in Computer Science.
