The following people were involved in the making of !:
Albums of recorded music were developed in the early 20th century, first as books of individual 78rpm records, then from 1948 as vinyl LP records played at 33 1⁄3 rpm. Vinyl LPs are still issued, though in the 21st century albums sales have mostly focused on compact disc (CD) and MP3 formats. The audio cassette was a format used in the late 1970s through to the 1990s alongside vinyl.
An album may be recorded in a recording studio (fixed or mobile), in a concert venue, at home, in the field, or a mix of places. Recording may take a few hours to several years to complete, usually in several takes with different parts recorded separately, and then brought or "mixed" together. Recordings that are done in one take without overdubbing are termed "live", even when done in a studio. Studios are built to absorb sound, eliminating reverberation, so as to assist in mixing different takes; other locations, such as concert venues and some "live rooms", allow for reverberation, which creates a "live" sound. The majority of studio recordings contain an abundance of editing, sound effects, voice adjustments, etc. With modern recording technology, musicians can be recorded in separate rooms or at separate times while listening to the other parts using headphones; with each part recorded as a separate track.

Scorpion (stylized as </SCORPION>) is an American action drama television series loosely based on the life of computer expertWalter O'Brien. In the series, O'Brien and his friends help each other to solve complex global problems and save lives. The series premiered on September 22, 2014 and airs in the United States on Mondays at 9:00 p.m. ET on CBS. On October 27, 2014, CBS placed a full season episode order for the first season. In January 2015, the show was renewed for a second season. The second season began airing on September 21, 2015.
Walter O'Brien and his team of outcasts are recruited by federal agent Cabe Gallo of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to form Scorpion, said to be the last line of defense against complex, high-tech threats around the globe. The team includes O'Brien, one of the most intelligent people in the world with an IQ of 197, and his friends Sylvester Dodd, a "human calculator" dealing in statistics; Happy Quinn, a "mechanical prodigy"; and Toby Curtis, a "world-class shrink" (a Harvard-trained behaviorist). Paige Dineen is a former waitress whose intuitive interaction with people translates the real world to the team, and they, in exchange, translate her young mentally gifted son, Ralph, to her.
The Napier Scorpion was a British liquid-fuelled rocket engine developed and manufactured by Napier. It used hydrogen peroxide / kerosene propellant chemistry.
The first Scorpion NSc.1 was successfully flight-tested in an Canberra.
From 1956 the Double Scorpion NScD.1 was fitted experimentally to two Canberra light bombers, to improve high altitude performance.
A world altitude record of 70,300 feet (21,427 m) was set by Canberra WK163 on 28 August 1957. This was on the eve of cancellation of manned aircraft programmes by the 1957 Defence White Paper.
The Double Scorpion was also considered for use in the English Electric P.1A interceptor (which gave rise to the Lightning). The company Aerojet General was chosen for United States production.
The Scorpion project was cancelled in February 1959, at a reported total cost of £1.25 million.
Scorpion (Скорпион) was a Russian publishing house which played an important role in the development of Russian Symbolism in the early 1900s.
Scorpion was founded in 1899 by the philanthropist and translator Sergey A. Polyakov, poets Valery Bryusov and Jurgis Baltrušaitis. Konstantin Balmont was said to have suggested its title. Scorpion's initial agenda was two-fold: to meet the already well-developed demand for the so-called 'decadent' brand of literature and to form its own readership, interested in the "new art" of Russian modernism.
The preface to Scorpion's first ever catalog stated: "The Scorpion publishing house is interested mostly in works of art, but aims also for the fields of history of literature and aesthetic criticism. Willing to stand above the existing literary trends, it eagerly embraces everything that has real poetry to it regardless of which literary school any particular author belongs to. It is only vulgar things that we tend to avoid. The Among Scorpion's other priorities is translating foreign authors who serve the New Art. The time has come to give our reader reader the opportunity to form their own opinions on new trends in literature."
