In biological classification, rank is the relative level of a group of organisms (a taxon) in a taxonomic hierarchy. Examples of taxonomic ranks are species, genus, family, class, kingdom, etc.
A given rank subsumes under it less general categories, that is, more specific descriptions of life forms. Above it, each rank is classified within more general categories of organisms and groups of organisms related to each other through inheritance of traits or features from common ancestors. The rank of any species and the description of its genus is basic; which means that to identify a particular organism, it is usually not necessary to specify ranks other than these first two.
Consider a particular species, the red fox Vulpes vulpes: its next rank, the genus Vulpes, comprises all the 'true foxes'. Their closest relatives are in the immediately higher rank, the family Canidae, which includes dogs, wolves, jackals, all foxes, and other caniforms; the next higher rank, the order Carnivora, includes feliforms and caniforms (lions, tigers, bears, hyenas, wolverines, and all those mentioned above), plus other carnivorous mammals. As one group of the class Mammalia, all of the above are classified among those with backbones in the Chordata phylum rank, and with them among all the animals in the Animalia kingdom rank. Finally, all of the above will find their earliest relatives somewhere in their domain rank Eukarya.
Séries+ is a Canadian French language Category A specialty channel devoted to scripted comedy and dramatic programming. The channel is owned by Corus Entertainment.
On May 21, 1999, Alliance Atlantis Communications (AAC) and Premier Choix Networks (a division of Astral Media) were granted approval by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to launch a national French-language specialty television service called Canal Fiction, described as a "service devoted to drama."
The channel was launched on January 31, 2000 as Séries+ at 6pm EST.
On January 18, 2008, a joint venture between Canwest and Goldman Sachs Capital Partners known as CW Media purchased AAC and gained AAC's interest in Séries+.
On October 27, 2010, Shaw Communications completed its acquisition of Canwest and Goldman Sachs' interest in CW Media, giving it control of CW Media's 50% interest in Séries+.
On March 4, 2013, Corus Entertainment announced that it would acquire Astral Media's stakes in Séries+ and Historia, as well as several other properties, under separate transactions with the two companies. The purchase was tied to Bell Media's pending takeover of Astral Media; an earlier proposal had been rejected by the CRTC in October 2012 due to concerns surrounding its total market share following the merger, but was restructured under the condition that the companies divest certain media properties. In a separate deal, Corus also acquired Shaw's interests in Séries+ and Historia, giving it full ownership. The deals were approved by the CRTC on December 20, 2013 and Corus officially become the full owner of the channel on January 1, 2014.
The 203 series (203系) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated in Japan between 1982 and 2011 by Japanese National Railways (JNR) and later by East Japan Railway Company (JR East), and currently operated by KRL Jabodetabek in Indonesia and Philippine National Railways (PNR) in the Philippines.
The 203 series sets were on through services between the Joban Line and Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line until they were replaced by E233-2000 series EMUs, and finally withdrawn from services in Japan in September 2011.
The sets were formed as follows.
Cars 3, 6, and 9 were each fitted with one PS21 pantograph.

The trains were gradually replaced by new E233-2000 series EMUs, and the last set ran in revenue service on 26 September 2011.
Five former 203 series sets have been sent to KRL Jabodetabek (KCJ) in Jakarta, Indonesia. All trains are in operation in the Jabodetabek area with 8 cars per set, due to the short platforms at most stations in Indonesia.

funk to your necks check it
Second time around better than the first, I quench your thirst, my rhymes

Get serious
Cause we're gonna do for you, you know it's true we got a second album

Too many people thoght we couldn't go on
But yo, we're still number one see we shine like the sun
Hands up in the air,
Wave 'em like you care
Feel the funky beat
EVerybody on your feet
[Chorus:]
Get serious
We got it going on tonight
Get serious
Everything will be alright
All I know is true that I wanna be with you
You gotta get serious, serious, serious
Could I be the one that twists thighter than a curl
Coming through from the mist
Check my defenition, rhyme composition
On the double o-5ive mission
With the aim to please any beef with the rod gone fishing
Check if you're down tonight
Put your hands in the air if you feel alright
Got enough for what you need
So get serious Baby please
Hands up in the air,
Wave 'em like you care
Feel the funky beat
Everybody on your feet
[Chorus]
Now we've been waiting for so long
Give me a chance to get it through
You are the flavour to my song
That's why I wanna be, wanna be with you
Stop, clear the stage so we can get busy
Open up your mind while I hit you with the nitty gritty
We came to rhyme, we came to get down
Wo when we rock the mike we bring the funk into your town
So I drop a rhyme onto the mike while it's mine then you gotta pass it on
while I rock you with a line
As we hip we hop we're getting others in the run
Flicking switches on the buttom of the mike cause we're done
[Chorus x2]
