The head (or heads) is a ship's toilet. The name derives from sailing ships in which the toilet area for the regular sailors was placed at the head or bow of the ship.
In sailing ships, the toilet was placed in the bow for two reasons. Firstly, since most vessels of the era could not sail directly into the wind, the winds came mostly across the rear of the ship, placing the head essentially downwind. Secondly, if placed somewhat above the water line, vents or slots cut near the floor level would allow normal wave action to wash out the facility. Only the captain had a private toilet near his quarters, at the stern of the ship in the quarter gallery.
In many modern boats, the heads look similar to seated flush toilets but use a system of valves and pumps that brings sea water into the toilet and pumps the waste out through the hull in place of the more normal cistern and plumbing trap to a drain. In small boats the pump is often hand operated. The cleaning mechanism is easily blocked if too much toilet paper or other fibrous material is put down the pan.
News style, journalistic style or news writing style is the prose style used for news reporting in media such as newspapers, radio and television.
News style encompasses not only vocabulary and sentence structure, but also the way in which stories present the information in terms of relative importance, tone, and intended audience. The tense used for news style articles is past tense.
News writing attempts to answer all the basic questions about any particular event—who, what, when, where and why (the Five Ws) and also often how—at the opening of the article. This form of structure is sometimes called the "inverted pyramid", to refer to the decreasing importance of information in subsequent paragraphs.
News stories also contain at least one of the following important characteristics relative to the intended audience: proximity, prominence, timeliness, human interest, oddity, or consequence.
The related term journalese is sometimes used, usually pejoratively, to refer to news-style writing. Another is headlinese.
"Head" is a song by the English singer-songwriter Julian Cope. It is the third and final single released in support of his album Peggy Suicide.
Ola is the third album released by Swedish pop singer Ola.
The self-titled album Ola was released in Sweden in September 2010, and debuted at #3 in the official Swedish album chart. It is the first release on Ola's own label Oliniho Records, after buying himself out of his deal with Universal Music. It spawned three hit singles, "Unstoppable", "Overdrive" and "All Over The World", which was Ola's first international single release. The similarity between "All Over The World" and "Somebody To Love" by Justin Bieber is often noted, but believed to be coincidence, as the two were released at the same time.
The album also contained a track, "Let It Hit You", composed by Ola with regular collaborator Alexander Kronlund and British artist Labrinth.
Riot is a 1969 American drama film directed by Buzz Kulik and starring Gene Hackman and Jim Brown.
While the warden (real-life warden Frank A. Eyman) of a state prison is away, the isolation block erupts and 35 of the most violent criminals (Gene Hackman) stage a riot and take over their portion of the prison. Cully Briston (Jim Brown), in for five years and awaiting his eventual parole, wants no part of the riot. He impulsively gets involved, defending a prison guard and protecting him from the maniacs in the block.
The film is based on a non-fiction novel by Frank Elli, which chronicled an actual riot that took place in an Arizona prison.
In addition to using real-life warden Frank A. Eyman, the production utilized a number of real-life prisoners as extras.
The film was partially shot at the Yuma Territorial Prison.
The film was given a theatrical release in the United States by Paramount Pictures in 1969.
The film was given a belated release on VHS by Paramount Home Video in 1993.
"Riot" is the second single by American recording artist Mandy Rain. Riot was written by Mandy Rain, Abram Dean, Brandyn Burnette, Danny “DJ” Score, and Isaac Hasson and produced by Isaac Hansson. Riot was released on iTunes on January 23, 2014 and to all other digital retailers on January 31, 2014 under Empire Records.
When Rain was 13 years old, she auditioned for the Nickelodeon series "Star Camp". Rain was chosen along with seven other kids to be in a musical group called "The Giggle Club". Shortly after season one was finished up filming, the Giggle Club had broken up so all the members could focus on their solo careers. After the series ended, Nick Cannon decided to groom Rain for a solo career. Cannon brought Rain to several record producers to record solo tracks. After hearing one of Rain's songs "Detention", Canon started girl group School Gyrls which went on to record two albums, star in several movies on Nickelodeon, and also tour in Asia and North America. After Rain and fellow School Gyrls' member Jacque Pyles decided to leave the group, they both started pursuing solo careers.
Let me take you by the hand
Back to the streets of New York City
The Lower East Side roared- hell yeah!
It was our home back in '84
Warning! Warning!
Trouble on the back streets
Warning! Warning!
Terrorizing
Right here is where Lee Marie sobbed
She sold herself for drugs
She slit her wrist, she died young
A casualty back in '84
Warning! Warning!
Trouble on the back streets
Warning! Warning!
Terrorizing
Let me tell you how it was
In these streets of New York City
It wasn't safe at all- hell no!
It was a ghetto back in '84
Warning! Warning!
Trouble on the back streets
Warning! Warning!
