Generic top-level domain

Generic top-level domains (gTLDs) are one of the categories of top-level domains (TLDs) maintained by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) for use in the Domain Name System of the Internet. A top-level domain is the last label of every fully qualified domain name. They are called generic for historic reasons; initially, they were contrasted with country-specific TLDs in RFC 920.

The core group of generic top-level domains consists of the com, info, net, and org domains. In addition, the domains biz, name, and pro are also considered generic; however, these are designated as restricted, because registrations within them require proof of eligibility within the guidelines set for each.

Historically, the group of generic top-level domains included domains, created in the early development of the domain name system, that are now sponsored by designated agencies or organizations and are restricted to specific types of registrants. Thus, domains edu, gov, int, and mil are now considered sponsored top-level domains, much like the themed top-level domains (e.g., jobs). The entire group of domains that do not have a geographic or country designation (see country-code top-level domain) is still often referred to by the term generic TLDs.

Man

A man is a male human. The term man is usually reserved for an adult male, with the term boy being the usual term for a male child or adolescent. However, the term man is also sometimes used to identify a male human, regardless of age, as in phrases such as "men's basketball".

Like most other male mammals, a man's genome typically inherits an X chromosome from his mother and a Y chromosome from his father. The male fetus produces larger amounts of androgens and smaller amounts of estrogens than a female fetus. This difference in the relative amounts of these sex steroids is largely responsible for the physiological differences that distinguish men from women. During puberty, hormones which stimulate androgen production result in the development of secondary sexual characteristics, thus exhibiting greater differences between the sexes. However, there are exceptions to the above for some intersex and transgender men.

Etymology

The English term "man" is derived from a Proto-Indo-European root *man- (see Sanskrit/Avestan manu-, Slavic mǫž "man, male"). More directly, the word derives from Old English mann. The Old English form had a default meaning of "adult male" (which was the exclusive meaning of wer), though it could also signify a person of unspecified gender. The closely related Old English pronoun man was used just as it is in Modern German to designate "one" (e. g., in the saying man muss mit den Wölfen heulen). The Old English form is derived from Proto-Germanic *mannz, "human being, person", which is also the etymon of German Mann "man, husband" and man "one" (pronoun), Old Norse maðr, and Gothic manna. According to Tacitus, the mythological progenitor of the Germanic tribes was called Mannus. *Manus in Indo-European mythology was the first man, see Mannus, Manu (Hinduism).

Anytime! (A Live Set)

Anytime! (A Live Set) is a 2004 live acoustic album by Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel, under the name The Steve Harley Band.

The album consists of eleven live unplugged tracks and a bonus track; "Sophistication" which was a previously unreleased studio recording from 1986. It remains exclusive to the Anytime! album.

For a possible album release, many shows were recorded, but the tracks that ended up forming the Anytime! (A Live Set) album were culled from performances at Huntingdon Hall, Worcester, and The Jazz Café, London, during the summer of 2003.

The album was released on CD in the UK only, through Gott Discs, whilst Pinnacle Records handled the album's distribution within the UK. It was licensed from Comeuppance Ltd. Today the album is available second-hand or from Harley's official website shop on CD and download.

Background

In a Record Collector Interview with Nick Dalton during June 2005, Harley was asked "Has you music changed of late?", and Harley replied "Anytime! is seriously unplugged electro-acoustic. It's similar to original Cockney Rebel – violin, no electric guitar. But I still like playing with my electric band. I'm doing Glastonbury again, headlining the acoustic stage for the first time." The article also used the same photograph of Harley as seen on the album's front cover.

Anytime (album)

Anytime is the third album by Brian McKnight. This was the last record McKnight recorded with Mercury Records before moving to Motown. In fact, Anytime would be re-released on Motown after he signed with the label (as Mercury and Motown at the time were both owned by PolyGram). The single "You Should Be Mine (Don't Waste Your Time)" became his biggest hit in four years, peaking at No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 100. It featured rapper Mase, whose own career was at its peak during 1997. It broke into the top 20 on the Billboard 200 chart, and to date is McKnight's highest peaking album on the Top R&B Albums chart where it took the No. 1 position for three weeks. McKnight's track "The Only One for Me" appeared in the sitcom, Sister, Sister, in which McKnight dated Tia (Tia Mowry) and broke up with Tyreke (RonReaco Lee) in the season 6 episode, "The Grass Is Always Greener".

The title track was an even bigger hit, reaching No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart in May 1998. The song was not released as a single, and was therefore ineligible to chart on the Hot 100, but was still one of the most played songs on the radio during 1998.
