David Lee Wells, nicknamed "Boomer", is an American former Major League Baseball pitcher. Wells was considered to be one of the game's better left-handed pitchers during his years with the New York Yankees and the Toronto Blue Jays, he pitched the 15th perfect game in baseball history. He is tied only with Kenny Lofton for appearing in the post-season with six teams. Wells is a broadcaster on MLB on TBS and the host of The Cheap Seats on FOXSports.com. Wells was born in California, his parents were never married and he was thus raised by his mother. Wells grew up with the belief that David Pritt, was dead. However, at the age of 22, he learned that Pritt was alive and tracked him down to start a new relationship with him. Growing up in the San Diego neighborhood of Ocean Beach where he attended local public schools, Wells was dependent on his mother, who worked numerous jobs to support him and his four siblings, he graduated from Point Loma High School, where he played baseball and basketball, in 1982 and was a self-described "gym rat" who spent most of his time at the Ocean Beach Recreation Center and Robb Field.

Wells threw a perfect game his senior year. He had Tommy John surgery performed on him in July 1985. Wells debuted for the Toronto Blue Jays in 1987 as a reliever and did not secure a job as a full-time starter until he was 30 years old. During his six seasons with the Blue Jays, Wells compiled a 47–46 record and a 3.88 ERA. Wells was a member of the first time he got a championship ring, he was released by the Blue Jays during spring training on March 30, 1993. A few days after he was released by the Blue Jays, Wells signed with the Detroit Tigers on April 3. In 1993, Wells made 32 appearances with an 11-9 record and a 4.19 ERA. In 1994, a season, cut short due to a lockout, Wells started 16 games, finishing 5-7 with a 3.96 ERA and 5 complete games. He emerged as a top-flight pitcher in 1995, when he was 32. After starting the year at 10–3 with a 3.04 ERA for the struggling last-place Tigers, Wells made his first All-Star Game appearance. On July 31, Wells was traded to the Cincinnati Reds for C. J. Nitkowski, Mark Lewis, minor leaguer Dave Tuttle.

With Cincinnati, Wells compiled a 6–5 record and a 3.59 ERA. After the 1995 season, Wells was traded to the Baltimore Orioles for Curtis Goodwin and minor leaguer Trovin Valdez. In 1996, he pitched a then-career high 224 innings but finished with an 11–14 record and a 5.14 ERA. In 1997, Wells signed as a free agent with the New York Yankees, his favorite team because of a lifelong interest in baseball legend Babe Ruth, he asked for uniform number 3, Ruth's long-retired number, was of course denied. He ended up taking 33 for the Yankees. On June 28, 1997, Wells took the mound wearing an authentic 1934 Babe Ruth hat, which he had bought for $35,000. Manager Joe Torre made Wells take it off after the first inning because it didn't conform to uniform standards. Wells blew a 3–0 lead as the Cleveland Indians won 12–8. After posting a 16–10 mark in 1997, Wells pitched well in the Yankees' record-setting 1998 season, he rang up an 18–4 record, finished fifth in the league in ERA, was third in voting for the Cy Young Award, won a second World Series ring.

On May 17, 1998, Wells pitched the 15th perfect game in baseball history, when he blanked the Minnesota Twins, 4–0. Wells attended the same San Diego high school, Point Loma High School, as Don Larsen, whose perfect game for the Yankees in the 1956 World Series was the only perfect game or no-hitter thrown in postseason play until 2010, was until the only perfect game thrown by a Yankee. David Cone would add a third Yankee perfect game in 1999. Wells claimed. Comedian Jimmy Fallon, who had partied with Wells the night before the game, has backed up this claim. On September 1, 1998, Wells came close to recording a second perfect game. Pitching against the Oakland Athletics, he allowed no walks and only two hits, the first of which came with two outs in the seventh inning when Jason Giambi fought off an 0–2 count and singled. After the season, Wells returned to the Blue Jays as part of a trade for Roger Clemens, along with Homer Bush and Graeme Lloyd, he continued to win north of the border, with records of 17 -- 20 -- 8 over the next two years.

During this stint with the Blue Jays, Wells appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated just prior to the 2000 All Star Game. Though Wells said it was an honour to be on the cover, he criticized the article, "The David Wells Diet: Chips and American League batters" written by Jeff Pearlman, saying that Pearlman focused on Wells' diet and body shape instead of his accomplishments. Wells and pitcher Matt DeWitt were traded to the Chicago White Sox, in a deal, mired in controversy; the primary player being traded by the White Sox, starting pitcher Mike Sirotka, was injured at the time of the deal and never pitched in the major leagues again. Toronto's general manager, Gord Ash, had not made the deal contingent on the results of a medical examination, MLB ruled in favor of the White Sox; the Blue Jays thus received only Kevin Beirne, Brian Simmons, minor leaguer Mike Williams, the mistake cost Ash his job. The deal did not turn out well for the White Sox, either, as Wells struggled with back problems in 2001 and pitched only 100⅔ innings, finishing the 2001 season with a 5–7 record and a 4.47 ERA.

After a short season with the White Sox, Wells returned to the Yankees, a deal, again immersed in controversy as he had reached an oral agreement to join the Arizona Diamondbacks. Despite having lost some velocity fr

HDHomeRun is a network-attached digital television tuner box, produced by the company SiliconDust USA, Inc.. Unlike standard set-top box appliances, HDHomeRun does not have a video output that connects directly to the user's television. Instead it receives a live TV signal and streams the decoded video over a local area network to an existing smart phone, tablet computer, smart tv, set top streaming device, computer, or game console; this allows it to stream content to multiple viewing locations. There are a number of HDHomeRun models on the market: single-tuner ATSC/clear QAM dual-tuner ATSC/clear QAM dual-tuner commercial ATSC/clear QAM dual-tuner DVB-T/unencrypted DVB-C three tuner CableCard/clear QAMAll models are designed to receive unencrypted digital broadcast or cable television and stream it over a network for use by any PC on the network. HDHomeRun receives an IP address via DHCP but will work via an auto IP address if no DHCP server is available; the HDHomeRun Windows driver presents the tuners as standard BDA tuners, enabling BDA-compliant applications to work with the HDHomeRun.

The HDHomeRun can be controlled via a command-line application, available for Windows, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, other POSIX-compliant operating systems. The control library is available under the LGPL for use in custom applications.

CableCards are available from every US digital cable provider and are always less expensive than renting a set-top-box; the Prime can be used without a CableCard in cable systems that still have clear QAM channels available. The Prime does not support digital cable on demand, but can receive PPV, ordered on the phone from your cable provider; the Prime is a dedicated cable TV device with no ATSC tuner and thus can not be used with an antenna.

Many other software options are available. When running WMC, an additional, separate ATSC tuner can be used with the PC and WMC will combine both the Prime and ATSC tuner in the guide for live TV and recording. By default WMC has a 4 tuner limit for each type of tuner, but a 3rd party software product called TunerSalad increases the number of tuners to 32 per type. There is another 3rd party software called My Channel Logos that adds channel logos to the WMC channel guide. For detailed discussion of WMC, please see TheGreenButton.tv website. Please note that WMC was included with Windows 7 but is an additional $100 for Windows 8/8.1 and an additional $10 for Windows 8/8.1 Pro. It is not available from Microsoft on Windows 10 but members at The Green Button are developing a way to use a modified version of WMC with Windows 10; the HDHomeRun DVR is a DVR software designed for installation on a network-attached storage device. It is intended to be used with a HDHomeRun tuner and is expected to overcome digital rights management complications.

Launched in 2018, HDHomeRun Premium TV was a virtual MVPD service that worked with the HDHomeRun Prime and HDHomeRun DVR service. A unique feature of this service over most other MVPDs was the ability to record the channel streams to a local hard drive for time-shifted viewing. In March 2019, HDHomeRun announced.

Damien Sayre Chazelle is a French-American director, film producer, screenwriter, best known for his films Whiplash, La La Land, First Man. For La La Land, he received several accolades, including the Golden Globe Award and the Academy Award for Best Director. Chazelle was born in Rhode Island to a Catholic family, his father, Bernard Chazelle, is the Eugene Higgins Professor of computer science at Princeton University, was born in Clamart, France. His mother, Celia, is from an English-Canadian family based in Calgary and teaches medieval history at The College of New Jersey. Chazelle was raised in Princeton, New Jersey, although a Catholic, he attended a Hebrew school for four years due to his parents' dissatisfaction with other local schools. Chazelle has a sister, an actress, their English-born maternal grandfather, John Martin, is the son of stage actress Eileen Earle. Filmmaking was Chazelle's first love, but he subsequently wanted to be a musician and struggled to make it as a jazz drummer at Princeton High School.

He has said that he had an intense music teacher, the inspiration for the character of Terence Fletcher in Chazelle's breakout film Whiplash. Unlike the film's protagonist Andrew Neiman, Chazelle stated that he knew instinctively that he never had the talent to be a great musician and after high school, pursued filmmaking again, he studied filmmaking in the Visual and Environmental Studies department at Harvard University and graduated in 2007. At Harvard, he lived in Currier House as roommates with composer and frequent collaborator Justin Hurwitz; the two were among the original members of the indie-pop group Chester French, formed during their freshman year. Chazelle wrote and directed his debut feature and Madeline on a Park Bench, as part of his senior thesis project with classmate Justin Hurwitz at Harvard; the film premiered at Tribeca Film Festival in 2009 and received various awards on the festival circuit, before being picked up by Variance Films for limited release and opening to critical acclaim.

After graduation, Chazelle moved to Los Angeles with the ultimate goal of attracting interest to produce his musical La La Land. Chazelle worked as a "writer-for-hire" in Hollywood, he was brought in by J. J. Abrams' Bad Robot Productions to re-write a draft of 10 Cloverfield Lane with the intention of directing, but Chazelle chose to direct Whiplash instead. Chazelle described Whiplash as a writing reaction to being stuck on another script: "I just thought, that's not working, let me put it away and write this thing about being a jazz drummer in high school." He stated he did not want to show the script around, as it felt too personal, "I put it in a drawer". Although nobody was interested in producing the film, his script was featured on Black List in 2012 as one of the best unmade films of that year; the project was picked up by Right of Way Films and Blumhouse Productions, who suggested that Chazelle turn a portion of his script into a short film as proof-of-concept. The 18-minute short was accepted at Sundance Film Festival 2013.

Whiplash received numerous awards on the festival circuit and earned five Oscar nominations, including Best Adapted Screenplay for Chazelle, winning three. Thanks to the success of Whiplash, Chazelle was able to attract financiers for his musical La La Land; the film opened the Venice International Film Festival on August 31, 2016 and began a limited release in the United States on December 9, 2016, with a wider release on December 16, 2016. It has received rave reviews from numerous awards. Chazelle was praised for his work on the film and received several top honors, including a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for Best Director, making Chazelle the youngest director to win both awards, at age 32. Chazelle next reunited with Gosling for Universal Pictures. With a screenplay by Josh Singer, the biopic is based on author James R. Hansen's First Man: The Life of Neil A. Armstrong, written about the astronaut; the film received positive reviews, with Owen Gleiberman of Variety writing that "Chazelle orchestrates a dashingly original mood of adventure drenched in anxiety".

Chazelle will direct the first two episodes of the Netflix musical drama television miniseries The Eddy. The series will be written by Jack Thorne, with Grammy-winning songwriter Glen Ballard and Alan Poul attached as executive producers; the series will consist of eight episodes. On January 25, 2018, Apple announced that they were partnering with Chazelle for a new original television series. Chazelle will direct the first series. On February 6, 2019, Yusaku Maezawa formally invited Damien Chazelle to go to the moon as a part of the DearMoon project in 2023; as of yet, he has not formally accepted the offer. On July 15, 2019, Variety reported that his next film, called Babylon and set in Hollywood in the 1920s, was eyeing Emma Stone to star in it. Brad Pitt has been rumoured to have a role in the movie. Chazelle married producer Jasmine McGlade in 2010. In October 2017, Chazelle and actress Olivia Hamilton, a Princeton University graduate and former McKinsey & Company consultant, announced their engagement.

The couple married September 22, 2018. Chazelle is fluent in French; as a Director As writer Directed Academy Award performances Chazelle has directed multiple Oscar winning a

Paul da Serra in the municipal county of Ponta do Sol, Madeira, it is the largest and most extensive plateau of Madeira about 24 square kilometres, with an altitude average of about 1,500 metres. Its highest point is the peak pico do Paul at 1,640 metres from where you can admire the length of the entire plateau. On days with good visibility, both the south and north coasts are visible. Paul Sierra is considered the most important area of the islands groundwater recharge, their planar structure facilitates the infiltration of a significant part of high rainfall year, while slowing the runoff towards the sea; the ground cover in all the Paul da Serra, is composed of underbrush, reminiscent of its former use as grazing site, stressing among other the Feiteira, Highland bent, the gorse, St. John's wort or pelicão and Thymus micans, an endemic species of Madeira, confined to the central mountain massif. With the abandonment of grazing due to government policies for environmental recovery, the island's mountains can be seen recovering but vegetation thought to be the original, before slaughter by the colonizers.

This vegetation composed of heather species Erica arborea and Erica platycodon ssp. maderincola, heathland form of altitude sized tree up to 9 metres high, as observed in the area of Bica da Cana, in the northeast of the plateau. However, the cedar-of-Madeira that should have been part of that original vegetation, hardly will again take its place; as a flat area, it is favorable to the installation of wind farms. All wind energy produced on the island comes from these
