Flickr

Flickr (pronounced "flicker") is an image hosting and video hosting website, and web services suite that was created by Ludicorp in 2004 and acquired by Yahoo in 2005. In addition to being a popular website for users to share and embed personal photographs, and effectively an online community, the service is widely used by photo researchers and by bloggers to host images that they embed in blogs and social media.

The Verge reported in March 2013 that Flickr had a total of 87 million registered members and more than 3.5 million new images uploaded daily. In August 2011 the site reported that it was hosting more than 6 billion images and this number continues to grow steadily according to reporting sources. Photos and videos can be accessed from Flickr without the need to register an account but an account must be made in order to upload content onto the website. Registering an account also allows users to create a profile page containing photos and videos that the user has uploaded and also grants the ability to add another Flickr user as a contact. For mobile users, Flickr has official mobile apps for iOS,Android, and PlayStation Vita, operating systems, and an optimised mobile website.

Flicker (American Horror Story)

"Flicker" is the seventh episode of the fifth season of the anthology television series American Horror Story. It aired on November 18, 2015 on the cable network FX.

Plot

Whilst renovating Hotel Cortez, two workmen find a sealed corridor. On Will Drake's (Cheyenne Jackson) orders, they break through the seal and discover two ghoulish creatures who attack and bite out their throats. John Lowe (Wes Bentley) is undergoing evaluation at the West Los Angeles Health Center. Secretly he came there after seeing the hospital's name in one of the Ten Commandments Killer's case files. Elizabeth (Lady Gaga) and Iris (Kathy Bates) remark on the unsealed corridor, and Iris notices how scared the former is. Marcy (Christine Estabrook) checks in. In room, she opens the door thinking it to be room service when the two ghouls attack and kill her.

In 1925 Hollywood, Elizabeth admires the actor Rudolph Valentino (Finn Wittrock). He invites her for dinner which is interrupted by his wife Natacha Rambova (Alexandra Daddario). They explain that their divorce was a "show" and seduce Elizabeth. Hotel Cortez opens for business with James March (Evan Peters) hosting a party. There, Elizabeth comes to know that Valentino has died, then she tries to commit suicide but March saves her. Since his death, Elizabeth continues visiting Valentino's tomb. One day, after she and March marry, she finds him alive there with Natacha. Valentino relates a story during his The Son of the Sheik press tour. He met F. W. Murnau, director of the vampire film, Nosferatu, who offered him immortality, but on condition of public death. Valentino and Natacha turn Elizabeth while her March watches from afar.

Northern flicker

The northern flicker (Colaptes auratus) is a medium-sized member of the woodpecker family. It is native to most of North America, parts of Central America, Cuba, the Cayman Islands, and is one of the few woodpecker species that migrate. There are over 100 common names for the northern flicker. Among them are: yellowhammer (as it's known as the state bird of Alabama, not to be confused with the Eurasian yellowhammer), clape, gaffer woodpecker, harry-wicket, heigh-ho, wake-up, walk-up, wick-up, yarrup, and gawker bird. Many of these names are attempts at imitating some of its calls.

Taxonomy

The northern flicker is part of the genus Colaptes which encompasses 12 New-World woodpeckers. There are two living and one extinct subspecies of C. auratus. The existing sub-species were at one time considered separate species but they commonly interbred where ranges overlap and are now considered one species by the American Ornithologists Union. Whether or not they are separate species is a well-known example of the species problem.

Numeral (linguistics)

In linguistics, a numeral is a member of a word class (or sometimes even a part of speech) designating numbers, such as the English word 'two' and the compound 'seventy-seven'.

Identifying numerals

Numerals may be attributive, as in two dogs, or pronominal, as in I saw two (of them).

Many words of different parts of speech indicate number or quantity. Quantifiers do not enumerate, or designate a specific number, but give another, often less specific, indication of amount. Examples are words such as every, most, least, some, etc. There are also number words which enumerate but are not a distinct part of speech, such as 'dozen', which is a noun, 'first', which is an adjective, or 'twice', which is an adverb. Numerals enumerate, but in addition have distinct grammatical behavior: when a numeral modifies a noun, it may replace the article: the/some dogs played in the park → twelve dogs played in the park. (Note that *dozen dogs played in the park is not grammatical, so 'dozen' is not a numeral.)

The Winnie Years

The Winnie Years is an ongoing series of children's fiction novels by American author Lauren Myracle. The first entry in the series, Eleven, was published on February 9, 2004 through Dutton Juvenile and focuses on the angst and everyday problems of tween Winnie Perry.

Of the books in the series, Myracle stated that they were her "most autobiographical books" in that she drew heavily upon her own experiences as a tween. The author has admitted that her son Jamie is the basis for the character of Ty, Winnie's younger brother, and that she has plans for a spinoff series surrounding the character.
