Life and career

In late 2005, he began to gain recognition in the music industry as a producer, after teaming up with American R&B singer Ray J, to produce the bulk of his third album Raydiation. Since then he continued to produce tracks for Ray J, and expanded his catalog by working with other prominent artists such as Akon, the Pussycat Dolls, Lil Wayne, Beyoncé, Ashanti, Marques Houston, Lady Gaga, Brandy, Shorty Mack, Christina Aguilera, T-Pain, Jennifer Lopez, R. Kelly, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, and Snoop Dogg.

Detail co-wrote and produced Lil Wayne's hit single "How to Love", for Wayne's 2011 album Tha Carter IV. The single was certified 4× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and Detail subsequently signed to Wayne's Young Money Entertainment, as well as Cash Money Records, as a producer. Recently, he has produced the singles "Drunk In Love" for Beyoncé, "We Dem Boyz" for Wiz Khalifa and "I Luh Ya Papi" for Jennifer Lopez.

Record producer

A record producer (or music producer) has a very broad role in overseeing and managing the recording (i.e. "production") of a band or performer's music. A producer has many roles that may include, but are not limited to, gathering ideas for the project, selecting songs and/or session musicians, proposing changes to the song arrangements, coaching the artist and musicians in the studio, controlling the recording sessions, and supervising the entire process through audio mixing (recorded music) and, in some cases, to the audio mastering stage. Producers also often take on a wider entrepreneurial role, with responsibility for the budget, schedules, contracts, and negotiations.

In the 2010s, the recording industry has two kinds of producers with different roles: executive producer and music producer. Executive producers oversee project finances while music producers oversee the creation of music.

A music producer can, in some cases, be compared to a film director, with noted practitioner Phil Ek describing his role as "the person who creatively guides or directs the process of making a record, like a director would a movie. The audio engineering [person] would be more the cameraman of the movie." Indeed, in Bollywood music, the designation actually is music director. The music producer's job is to create, shape, and mold a piece of music. The scope of responsibility may be one or two songs or an artist's entire album – in which case the producer will typically develop an overall vision for the album and how the various songs may interrelate.

World record

A world record is usually the best global performance ever recorded and officially verified in a specific skill or sport. The book Guinness World Records collates and publishes notable records of all types, from first and best to worst human achievements, to extremes in the natural world and beyond. The website RecordSetter has begun to take on the same territory, but with a more inclusive policy, as users submit videos of record attempts in order to try to receive a world record. The website challengers.guinnessworldrecords.com is similar to RecordSetter, as the record attempts are judged by Guinness World Records adjudicators, but the records to attempt are provided beforehand.

Terminology

In the United States the form World's Record was formerly more common. The term World Best was also briefly in use. The latter term is still used in athletics events, including track and field and road running) to describe good and bad performances not recognized as an official world record: either because the event is a non-qualifying event (e.g. the 150 m run or individual events in a decathlon), or because it does not fulfil other criteria of an otherwise qualifying event (e.g. the Great North Run half-marathon, which has an excessive downhill gradient). The term is also used in video game speedrunning when someone achieves the fastest possible time for the game and category.

Record (agricultural vehicles)

Record A.E.B.E. (brand also spelled in Greek as Ρεκόρ) was the name of a Greek company producing agricultural machinery and vehicles, founded in Heraklion, Crete in 1957 and dissolved in 1999.

Its products have included walking tractors (since 1958), a family of characteristic Greek three-wheel vehicles combining truck and tractor functions (since 1966), "proper" tractors (since 1970) and four-wheel trucks (since 1978); mechanical equipment like clutches and gearboxes for use in its vehicles were also produced. Its main market was Greece, although some of its walking tractors were also exported. Annual vehicle production in the late 1970s and early 1980s averaged 500 units.

The most advanced models were the 1970 ΓΣ 7 tractor, which used 18-26 hp Ruggerini Diesel engines, and the 1980 GS 2000 truck, which used a 1,400 cc, 55 hp Peugeot Diesel engine. This fibreglass-bodied truck could carry two tonnes and featured a cab design clearly influenced by those of contemporary Japanese models, in particular the first generation Mitsubishi Delica.

Archaeological record

The archaeological record is the body of physical (i.e. not written) evidence about the past. It is one of the core concepts in archaeology, the academic discipline concerned with documenting and interpreting the archaeological record.Archaeological theory is used to interpret the archaeological record for a better understanding of human cultures. The archaeological record can consist of the earliest ancient findings as well as contemporary artifacts. Human activity has had a large impact on the archaeological record. Destructive human processes such as agriculture and land development may damage or destroy potential archaeological sites. Other threats to the archaeological record include natural phenomena and scavenging. Archaeology is a destructive science and can take away from the finite resources of the archaeological record. It is for this reason that archaeologists limit the amount of excavation that they do at each site and meticulous records are kept of what is found. The archaeological record is the record of our human history, of why our civilizations prosper or fail, why our cultures change and grow. It is the story of this world we humans have created.
