Video is the technology of electronically capturing, recording, processing, storing, transmitting, and reconstructing a sequence of still images representing scenes in motion.
Video technology was first developed for cathode ray tube (CRT) television systems, but several new technologies for video display devices have since been invented. Charles Ginsburg led an Ampex research team developing the first practical video tape recorder (VTR). In 1951 the first video tape recorder captured live images from television cameras by converting the camera's electrical impulses and saving the information onto magnetic video tape.
Video recorders sold for $50,000 in 1956, and videotape cost $300 per one-hour reel. However, prices steadily dropped over the years; in 1971, Sony began selling videocassette recorder (VCR) tapes to the public. After the invention of the DVD in 1997 and Blu-ray Disc in 2006, sales of videotape and tape equipment plummeted.
Later advances in computer technology allowed computers to capture, store, edit and transmit video clips.
Martin Luther (help·info) (10 November 1483 – 18 February 1546) was a German monk, priest, professor of theology and iconic figure of the Protestant Reformation. He strongly disputed the claim that freedom from God's punishment for sin could be purchased with money. He confronted indulgence salesman Johann Tetzel with his Ninety-Five Theses in 1517. His refusal to retract all of his writings at the demand of Pope Leo X in 1520 and the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V at the Diet of Worms in 1521 resulted in his excommunication by the pope and condemnation as an outlaw by the Emperor.
Luther taught that salvation is not earned by good deeds but received only as a free gift of God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ as redeemer from sin. His theology challenged the authority of the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church by teaching that the Bible is the only source of divinely revealed knowledge and opposed sacerdotalism by considering all baptized Christians to be a holy priesthood. Those who identify with Luther's teachings are called Lutherans.
Daniel Richard Powter (born February 25, 1971) is a Canadian recording artist. He is known for his hit "Bad Day" (2006), which spent five weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100. Powter was the only act to register a #1 hit in that year without previously having had another song chart in the Hot 100.
Powter grew up in Vernon, in the Okanagan-Shuswap region of British Columbia. As a child, Powter played the violin. He changed to piano after a group of children bullied him and destroyed his violin. A dyslexic, Powter had trouble in university studying music, and later dropped out in order to pursue his own musical career, learning all songs by ear and recording new melodies that he created. Daniel Powter released his debut album, I'm Your Betty, in 2000. The album, limited to a very small print, contains ten songs, two of which—"More Than I" and "Negative Fashion"—were featured on the television show Higher Ground..
Powter's first single, "Bad Day", was first released in Europe in mid 2005, in advance of his second album, Daniel Powter. Warner Bros. Records submitted the single for commercial production, and it was subsequently chosen by Coca-Cola as the theme song for an ad campaign in Europe. The song achieved heavy airplay in most European countries, peaking at number three on the overall European airplay chart. It reached number one on national airplay in Germany, number one on the singles charts in the Republic of Ireland and Italy, number two in the United Kingdom,—where it stayed in the top ten for thirteen weeks—and number three in Australia.
[Chorus: Kam]
Oh shit, yeah right there, that's it
Oh shit, yeah right there, that's it
Oh shit, yeah right there, that's it

And I respect who respects me, YES

[Ms. Red Bone]
But I ain't led on (what?) Turn up my headphone
You heard what I said, you gotta break bread
(And you are?) Red Bone
And I don't come cheap is what I'm sayin
So the only way I'm playin (is what?) Is if you payin like you weighin
[Kam]
Shit, you got me crossed up, baby you get tossed up
If I ain't have no spouse
you'd be hangin around my house like a lost pup
Beggin me to maintain and support her
So bad, I'd probably have to get a damn restrainin order
[Ms. Red Bone]
It's more to me than meets the eye boo-boo, or do you care?
You might just be in fo' a surprise, what size shoe you wear?

[Chorus x2]
[Big Solo]
Baby I'm Solo, let's take a ride in my lo-lo
Kick your feet up, turn the beat up, go to the mo-mo
(Nigga what you thank?) I just put a dub in the tank
I know a spot that we can stop and get some bud and some drank
[Ms. Red Bone]
If I was stank maybe yeah but you got bank baby
See out yo' income, you gon' have to spend some on me
You try to shoot game at me but I shot it right back
I wonder why you niggaz figure that you got it like that
[Big Solo]
Cause I'ma hog baby, straight up, you think I'm ugly?
Well I keep it so real girls still wanna fuck me
You see what gutter niggaz do to catch a houserat?
Just use peanut butter and a bigger mousetrap
[Ms. Red Bone]
I'm afraid it ain't that easy to please me (oh well)
I got too much class to be fuckin in some cheesy-ass motel
[Big Solo]
Shit, you can go to hell with that, cause if I really wanna fuck
I'll have your ass buttnaked in the back of my truck screamin
[Chorus x2]
[Kam]
So many women give that lay back to take a spin
in my wheels, I feels like Pat Sajak [WOF:] (puzzle revealed)
See baby I'm not your average nig' honey [WOF:] (wheel spun)
So when you finally get a turn you be like,
"C'mon big money! Big money!"
[Ms. Red Bone]
Oh you funny but sonny I ain't just some hoochie you can yank up
By the time you finished with this coochie you be bankrupt [whistle]
Drinkin fifths on the corner, shootin dice, countin rips
But don't trip, at least you got some nice partin gifts
[Kam]
Shit, I lifts up skirts and pull panties to the side
Fuckin with me, you be swallowin more than your pride
I ride like Bloods and Crips between them hips
until you sayin "Hold up!" I leave both your lips swoll up
[Ms. Red Bone]
I don't know about all that goin down South biz
But if you wanna bet then put some coochie where your mouth is
I'm pussy-whippin niggaz and laughin as I'm walkin out
Just for the thrill leave they ass still talkin bout
