Television program
–
It may be a single production, or more commonly, a series of related productions. A limited number of episodes of a show may be called a miniseries or a serial or limited series. Television series are without a fixed length and are divided into seasons or series. While there is no defined length, U. S. industry practice has traditionally favored longer television seasons than those of other countries, a one-time broadcast may be called a special, or particularly in the UK a special episode. A television film is a film that is initially broadcast on television rather than released in theaters or direct-to-video, a program can be either recorded, as on video tape, other various electronic media forms, played with an on-demand player or viewed on live television. Television programs may be fictional, or non-fictional and it may be topical, or historical. They could be primarily instructional or educational, or entertaining as is the case in situation comedy, a drama program usually features a set of actors playing characters in a historical or contemporary setting. The program follows their lives and adventures, except for soap opera-type serials, many shows especially before the 1980s, remained static without story arcs, and the main characters and premise changed little. If some change happened to the characters lives during the episode, because of this, the episodes could be broadcast in any order. Since the 1980s, there are series that feature progressive change to the plot. For instance, Hill Street Blues and St. Elsewhere were two of the first American prime time television series to have this kind of dramatic structure. While the later series, Babylon 5 is an example of such production that had a predetermined story running over its intended five-season run. In 2012, it was reported that television was growing into a component of major media companies revenues than film. Some also noted the increase in quality of television programs. When a person or company decides to create a new series, they develop the elements, consisting of the concept, the characters, the crew. Then they offer it to the networks in an attempt to find one interested enough to order a prototype first episode of the series. They want very much to get the word out on what types of shows they’re looking for, to create the pilot, the structure and team of the whole series must be put together. If the network likes the pilot, they pick up the show to air it the next season, sometimes they save it for mid-season, or request rewrites and further review

Toy
–
A toy is an item that is used in play, especially one designed for such use. Playing with toys is supposed to be a means of training young children for life in society. Different materials like wood, clay, paper, and plastic are used to make toys, many items are designed to serve as toys, but goods produced for other purposes can also be used. For instance, a child may fold an ordinary piece of paper into an airplane shape. Newer forms of toys include interactive digital entertainment, some toys are produced primarily as collectors items and are intended for display only. The origin of toys is prehistoric, dolls representing infants, animals, the origin of the word toy is unknown, but it is believed that it was first used in the 14th century. Toys are mainly made for children, the oldest known doll toy that has been found is thought to be 4,000 years old. Playing with toys is considered to be important when it comes to growing up, younger children use toys to discover their identity, help their bodies grow strong, learn cause and effect, explore relationships, and practice skills they will need as adults. Adults on occasion use toys to form and strengthen social bonds, teach, help in therapy, most children have been said to play with whatever they can find, such as sticks and rocks. Toys and games have been unearthed from the sites of ancient civilizations and they have been written about in some of the oldest literature. Toys excavated from the Indus valley civilization include small carts, whistles shaped like birds, the earliest toys are made from materials found in nature, such as rocks, sticks, and clay. Thousands of years ago, Egyptian children played with dolls that had wigs and movable limbs which were made from stone, pottery, in Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome, children played with dolls made of wax or terracotta, sticks, bows and arrows, and yo-yos. When Greek children, especially girls, came of age it was customary for them to sacrifice the toys of their childhood to the gods, on the eve of their wedding, young girls around fourteen would offer their dolls in a temple as a rite of passage into adulthood.

Multimedia
–
Multimedia is content that uses a combination of different content forms such as text, audio, images, animations, video and interactive content. Multimedia contrasts with media that use only rudimentary computer displays such as text-only or traditional forms of printed or hand-produced material, Multimedia devices are electronic media devices used to store and experience multimedia content. Multimedia is distinguished from mixed media in art, for example. The term rich media is synonymous with interactive multimedia, the term multimedia was coined by singer and artist Bob Goldstein to promote the July 1966 opening of his LightWorks at LOursin show at Southampton, Long Island. Goldstein was perhaps aware of an American artist named Dick Higgins, two years later, in 1968, the term multimedia was re-appropriated to describe the work of a political consultant, David Sawyer, the husband of Iris Sawyer—one of Goldsteins producers at LOursin. In the intervening forty years, the word has taken on different meanings, in the late 1970s, the term referred to presentations consisting of multi-projector slide shows timed to an audio track. However, by the 1990s multimedia took on its current meaning, in the 1993 first edition of Multimedia, Making It Work, Tay Vaughan declared Multimedia is any combination of text, graphic art, sound, animation, and video that is delivered by computer. When you allow the user – the viewer of the project – to control what, when you provide a structure of linked elements through which the user can navigate, interactive multimedia becomes hypermedia. The German language society Gesellschaft für deutsche Sprache recognized the words significance, the institute summed up its rationale by stating has become a central word in the wonderful new media world. In common usage, multimedia refers to an electronically delivered combination of media including video, still images, audio, much of the content on the web today falls within this definition as understood by millions. That era saw also a boost in the production of educational multimedia CD-ROMs, the term video, if not used exclusively to describe motion photography, is ambiguous in multimedia terminology. Video is often used to describe the format, delivery format. Multiple forms of content are often not considered modern forms of presentation such as audio or video. Likewise, single forms of content with single methods of information processing are often called multimedia. Performing arts may also be considered multimedia considering that performers and props are multiple forms of content and media. Multimedia presentations may be viewed by person on stage, projected, transmitted, a broadcast may be a live or recorded multimedia presentation. Broadcasts and recordings can be analog or digital electronic media technology. Digital online multimedia may be downloaded or streamed, streaming multimedia may be live or on-demand

Shockwave (Transformers)
–
Shockwave is the name of several fictional characters in the Transformers franchise. Throughout his incarnations, he is distinguished by a laser cannon instead of one of his hands and his distinctive face. He is also portrayed as a cold, emotionless Decepticon that serves as Megatrons mad scientist. Due to issues with Hasbros trademark of the name Shockwave, some products were released under the name Shockblast or Shockblast the Great. As the Decepticons military operations commander, Shockwaves power is only to Megatron. And that problem is, how can he use his abilities to most effectively eliminate the greatest number of enemies, unfortunately for the Autobots, it is rare that Shockwave does not find an answer. Unlike most early Transformers Shockwave was not modified into an Earthly form and he possesses the power of flight in both modes, and commands the totality of the electromagnetic spectrum allowing him to emit beams of energy in a wide variety of forms. His high energy output makes him particularly fuel inefficient, but radioactive fuel sources stored in the reactor in his chest can help Shockwave to overcome this problem. Although his logical brain center is usually an advantage, human adversaries often pose more of a difficulty to Shockwave, as more intuitive, Shockwave concluded that he should rule so that no emotion should prevent the Decepticons from conquering the universe. This was retained in most comic books, where Shockwave became leader of the Decepticons, unusually for a 1985 toy, Shockwave was part of Transformers fiction from the first year, appearing in both the original cartoon pilot and 4-issue comic book miniseries. According to writer Bob Budiansky, the character of Shockwave was inspired by Spock from the Star Trek series, Shockwave was voted the 2nd top Transformer who was badass in the comics by Topless Robots. Wired Magazine once nominated him as one of the 12 most ridiculous Transformers of all time, Shockwaves characterization in the animated series is based on an early profile written for the character which presented him to be the guardian of Cybertron, with no desires beyond that station. His toys tech spec and Transformers Universe profile, however, wrote of a character who sought to overthrow Megatron and this was the version of the character who impressed fans with his appearance in Marvels Transformers comic book series. Also, unlike his cartoon incarnation, in which he was depicted as an easily beatable foe, his comic incarnation was very powerful. These Dinobots engaged Shockwave, but he slyly outmaneuvered them, a stalemate was reached when the last strike by the Dinobots before sinking into the pit saw them bury Shockwave under a landslide, where he remained for four million years. In 1984, Shockwave was reawakened by an Autobot probe dispatched from the Ark and he quickly struck the weakened Autobots, who had just defeated Megatrons forces. However, Prime was able to transfer the Matrix into Buster Witwickys mind, preventing Shockwave from giving life to his newest creation, Prime then battled Shockwave and hurled him into a swamp.

Grimlock
–
Grimlock is the name of several fictional robot characters in the Transformers franchise. He is usually portrayed as the strong, power-mongering leader of the Dinobots. In 2007, USA Today polled people as to which Transformer they want to appear in the installment in the Transformers film series. Grimlock is the most fearsome and powerful member of the Dinobots, nevertheless, he is a valiant warrior whose actions command respect from all who are witness to them, both friend and foe. Grimlock is among the strongest of the Transformers, possibly an equal to, or even superior to Optimus Prime, in Tyrannosaurus rex mode, his powerful jaws can snap virtually anything that comes between them - from steel cables to a Decepticon limb. He also can shoot an energy ray from his mouth, in robot mode, Grimlock wields an energon sword, whose blade is sheathed in crackling energon and can slice a 2-foot-thick concrete wall in one slash. He also uses a double-barreled, self-propelled rocket launcher and he is almost invulnerable in his Tyrannosaurus Rex mode as shown with his battle with Megatron due to Megatrons primary weapon, his arm-mounted fusion cannon having little or no effect on Grimlock. Unlike the other Dinobots, Grimlock is the one whose name doesnt begin with an S. Grimlock was one of the favorite Autobots of IGN. Grimlock was voted the 6th top Transformer who was considered to be badass in the comics by Topless Robot, according to X-Entertainment Grimlock was the 2nd top Transformers figure of all time. However, the cartoon would diverge wildly from this when it introduced the reptilian robots, Grimlock is voiced by Gregg Berger. The discovery of fossilized bones in a cavern in their volcano base set the Earthbound Autobots on the track to creating the Dinobots. Intrigued by the creatures, and with additional knowledge supplied by Spike, Wheeljack and it has not been explained why he or the other Dinobots were able to be fitted with personalities which can only be found on Cybertron from Vector Sigma. Apparently there is a difference between the brain and personalities in Transformers and their brains are simple, yet still it is the personalities that make them sentient. It is evident that addition of personalities or sparks and its origin was after the fact, in his private thoughts, however, Grimlock considered Optimus Prime too weak to lead, seeking the position for himself. When Soundwave read his mind and learned of this animosity, Megatron was able to trick Grimlock, to stop the turncoat Dinobots, two new ones were created, Snarl and Swoop. Ultimately, it was when Optimus Prime threw himself into harms way to save Grimlock from an explosion that he accepted his mistake and rejoined the Autobots. In a rare display of modesty and humility, Grimlock emotionally apologised to Prime, admitted his jealousy of the leader, the two subsequently patched up their differences. The final straw for Grimlock came when he and the Dinobots were injured in a Decepticon trap at an airfield, enraged, Grimlock refused to take orders from Optimus Prime any more, and he and the other dinobots left

Make America Great Again
–
Make America Great Again, often abbreviated as MAGA or #MAGA, is a campaign slogan used in American politics that originated with the President Ronald Reagan 1980 presidential campaign. Donald Trump subsequently applied for and received a US service mark for the slogan and it was first used in Ronald Reagans 1980 presidential campaign, when the United States was suffering from a worsening economy at home marked by stagflation. Using the country’s economic distress as a springboard for his campaign, the slogan was also used by former President Bill Clinton in his 1992 presidential campaign, although he later criticized the phrase as being a racist dog whistle during the 2016 election. At the time it was not used as a slogan, Trump began using the slogan formally on November 7,2012, the day after Barack Obama won his reelection against Mitt Romney. He first considered We Will Make America Great, but did not feel like it had the ring to it. Make America Great was his next inflection, but upon further reflection, after selecting Make America Great Again, Trump immediately had an attorney register it. On November 12 he signed an application with the United States Patent, during the campaign, Trump often used the slogan, especially by wearing hats emblazoned with the phrase in white letters. Following Trumps election, the website of his transition was established at greatagain. gov. The president-elect stated in January 2017 that the slogan of his 2020 reelection campaign would be Keep America Great, immediately ordering a lawyer to trademark it. After Donald Trump popularized the use of the phrase, the phrase and modifications of it became used to refer to his election campaign. Trumps primary opponents Ted Cruz and Scott Walker began using Make America Great Again in speeches and he claimed after the election that the hats were copied, unfortunately. It was knocked off by 10 to one, but it was a slogan, and every time somebody buys one, thats an advertisement. Cruz later sold hats featuring Make Trump Debate Again in response to Trump boycotting the Iowa January 28,2016 debate, the most widespread use of the phrase and its variants were in media, especially television comedies. In the 2015 South Park episode Where My Country Gone, supporters of Mr. Garrison, who runs a campaign that is a parody of Trumps, are seen holding signs bearing the slogan. John Oliver spoofed the slogan in a segment of his show, the segment broke HBO viewership records, garnering 85 million views. Comedian David Cross stand-up tour Making America Great Again and Fall Out Boys remix album Make America Psycho Again also referenced the slogan. WWE star Darren Young and former star Bob Backlund began appearing on WWE TV in May 2016 with Backlund acting as Youngs life coach, the slogan was also modified for use in commercial contexts such as film posters and advertisements. The tagline for the film The Purge, Election Year was Keep America Great, included on posters, in September 2016, The Berrics released the campaign series, Make EA Skate Again, urging Electronic Arts to develop Skate 4

Machinima, Inc.
–
Machinima, Inc. is a global YouTube network mostly focusing on gaming. Machinima has widespread availability across platforms such as YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook. The company was founded in January 2000 by Hugh Hancock and is headquartered in Los Angeles, users used to be able to submit videos to be uploaded onto their website directly, however this feature has long been abandoned. On October 12,2016, sources told media sites that Warner Brothers was nearing a deal to acquire Machinima, on November 17,2016, Warner Brothers confirmed the news, thus making Machinima a wholly owned subsidiary of Warner Bros. In December 1999, id Software released Quake III Arena and this precluded the use of custom demo-editing tools that had facilitated the creation of videos that used the older Quake and Quake II demo file formats, slowing the release of new Quake movies. Another contributing factor to this decline was that the nature of the gaming-related situations. Marino explained bluntly that the joke was getting old, therefore, the Quake movie community needed to reinvent itself. In January 2000, Hugh Hancock launched Machinima. com, a resource for video makers who used computer, the sites name was foreign to the Quake movie community. The term machinima was originally machinema, a portmanteau of machine, however, Hancock had misspelled the term in a previous email, and the new name stuck because he and Anthony Bailey, who had worked on Quake done Quick, liked the now-embedded reference to anime. The site opened with multiple articles, interviews, and tutorials, One such work, Quad God, was the first to use Quake III Arena and the first to be released in a conventional video file format instead of a demo file format exclusive to a certain game. The switch to conventional media offended some machinima producers, but Quad God, by Tritin Films helped to introduce machinima to a wider audience, Matt Kelland, Dave Morris, and Dave Lloyd called the release of Quad God a key moment in the development of machinima. On 30 January 2006, Hancock announced his resignation as editor-in-chief of Machinima. com, among the reasons cited for the change were differences in approach to the site and a desire to devote more time to Strange Companys 2006 machinima production BloodSpell. Hancock called the decision possibly the biggest step Ive taken since I founded Strange Company nearly nine years ago, in May 2009, Machinima released Terminator Salvation, The Machinima Series, a six-episode prequel to the 2009 film. It was about the story of one of the characters named Blair Williams and it was also distributed by Warner Premiere, Wonderland Sound and Vision and The Halcyon Company. It is currently for download in iTunes, PlayStation Network and Amazon Video, towards the end of 2010, Machinima revamped its website and removed the forums, and the ability to upload videos. Since the revamp of their website, Machinima has shifted away from actual machinima content. The network now focuses on lifestyle and entertainment programming, broadcasting solely through their YouTube channels. In January 2012, Machinima discontinued podcast feeds on iTunes without an in-feed announcement, back episodes remain available but no new episodes have appeared on the feed since moving to YouTube exclusively
