The Seattle Post-Intelligencer (popularly known as the Seattle P-I, the Post-Intelligencer, or simply the P-I) is an online newspaper and former print newspaper covering Seattle, Washington, United States, and the surrounding metropolitan area.
The newspaper was founded in 1863 as the weekly Seattle Gazette, and was later published daily in broadsheet format. It was long one of the city's two daily newspapers, along with The Seattle Times, until it became an online-only publication on March 18, 2009.
History
J.R. Watson founded the P-I, Seattle's first newspaper, on December 10, 1863, as the Seattle Gazette. The paper failed after a few years and was renamed the Weekly Intelligencer in 1867 by the new owner, Sam Maxwell.
In 1878, after publishing the Intelligencer as a morning daily, Thaddeus Hanford bought the Daily Intelligencer for $8,000. Hanford also acquired the daily Puget Sound Dispatch and the weekly Pacific Tribune and folded both papers into the Intelligencer. In 1881, the Intelligencer merged with the Seattle Post. The names were combined to form the present-day name.
Sony Ericsson P990 is a smartphone and the successor of Sony Ericsson P910. The phone uses the UIQ 3 software platform, which is based upon Symbian OS 9.1. It was released in August 2006. The P990 has a numeric keypad that flips open to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard below the display, on the phone itself. This is a change from P910, where the keyboard is on the flip. The flip itself can be attached or detached using the screw and screwdriver found in the box. The phone is a UMTS (3G) and tri-band GSM phone supporting video calls through its front VGA camera. The touchscreen displays 262,114 colours (18-bit colour depth) with a resolution of 240x320 pixels. It also comes with a 2.0 Megapixel camera featuring autofocus and an FM/RDS radio. The P990 runs the Nexperia PNX4008 ARM9 208MHz processor from Philips. The screen despite a smaller length (2.8inch) than its predecessors is actually larger in area because of the increased resolution. The phone also improves over the P910 by including support for Wi-Fi, allowing users to connect to 802.11b wireless networks. You can browse the Web using the built in Opera browser. Additional features includes RSS feeds, online video streaming, Java ME support and Handwriting recognition.
MPEG-4 Part 14 or MP4 is a digital multimedia format most commonly used to store video and audio, but can also be used to store other data such as subtitles and still images. Like most modern container formats, it allows streaming over the Internet. The only official filename extension for MPEG-4 Part 14 files is .mp4, but many have other extensions, most commonly .m4a and .m4p. M4A (audio only) is often compressed using AAC encoding (lossy), but can also be in Apple Lossless format. M4P is a protected format which employs DRM technology to restrict copying. MPEG-4 Part 14 (formally ISO/IEC 14496-14:2003) is a standard specified as a part of MPEG-4.
Some devices advertised as "MP4 Players" are simply MP3 Players that also play AMV video or some other video format, and do not necessarily play the MPEG-4 Part 14 format.
History of MP4
MPEG-4 Part 14 is an instance of the more general ISO/IEC 14496-12:2004 (MPEG-4 Part 12: ISO base media file format) which is directly based upon the QuickTime File Format.
MPEG-4 Part 14 is essentially identical to the QuickTime file format, but formally specifies support for Initial Object Descriptors (IOD) and other MPEG features. MPEG-4 Part 14 revises and completely replaces Clause 13 of ISO/IEC 14496-1 (MPEG-4 Part 1: Systems), in which the file format for MPEG-4 content was previously specified.
A member of parliament (MP) is the representative of the voters to a parliament. In many countries with bicameral parliaments, this category includes specifically members of the lower house, as upper houses often have a different title, such as senate, and thus also have different titles for its members, such as senator.
A member of parliament is a member of the House of Representatives, the lower house of the Commonwealth (federal) parliament. Members may use "MP" after their names; "MHR" is not used, although it was used as a post-nominal in the past. A member of the upper house of the Commonwealth parliament, the Senate, is known as a "Senator".
The M2 Machine Gun or Browning .50 Caliber Machine Gun is a heavy machine gun designed towards the end of World War I by John Browning. Its design is similar to Browning's earlier M1919 Browning machine gun, which was chambered for the .30-06 cartridge. The M2 uses the much larger and much more powerful .50 BMG cartridge, which was developed alongside and takes its name from the gun itself (BMG standing for Browning Machine Gun). It has been referred to as "Ma Deuce", in reference to its M2 nomenclature. The design has had many specific designations; the official designation for the current infantry type is Browning Machine Gun, Cal. .50, M2, HB, Flexible. It is effective against infantry, unarmored or lightly armored vehicles and boats, light fortifications and low-flying aircraft. The M2 machine gun has been produced longer than any other machine gun.
The Browning .50 caliber machine gun has been used extensively as a vehicle weapon and for aircraft armament by the United States from the 1930s to the present. It was heavily used during World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Falklands War, the Iraq War and the War in Afghanistan in the 2000s and 2010s. It is the primary heavy machine gun of NATO countries, and has been used by many other countries. The M2 has been in use longer than any other small arm in U.S. inventory except the .45 ACPM1911 pistol, also designed by John Browning.
"P.I.M.P." is a song by American hip-hop artist 50 Cent, recorded for his debut studio album Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2003). The song features production from Shady label-mate, Mr. Porter and Brandon Parrott. A remixed version of the song, featuring fellow rappers Snoop Dogg, Lloyd Banks and Young Buck, was released as the album's third official single on August 12, 2003, although the remix was not initially part of the track listing: it was later added as a bonus track to some digital editions of the album.
Upon its release, the song was a significant commercial success, especially in the United States, where it peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached the top ten of many national charts worldwide. The song was later certified Gold by the RIAA for sales of 500,000+ copies.
Content
Musically, the song is based on a highly steel-drum-prominent production from Brandon Parrott and Porter, and although it is predominantly a rap song, features elements of other genres, especially reggae, or music similar to that of the Caribbeans, within the steel drum-based production. Lyrically, the song glorifies 50 Cent's supposed involvement in the 'pimp' lifestyle.
The Seattle Post Intelligence eventually lost it's long battle with The Seattle Times.

Deep staff cuts are part of an overall strategy to make the operation profitable again. The paper lost 14 million dollars last year and its owners hope a Web-only operation with a much smaller staff will reverse that trend.

SOT James Wallace I mean a lot of people are losing their jobs all over the country, but the entire newspaper industry has imploded. A lot of newspapers are laying people off.
The industry is closely watching the Post-Intelligencer's online-only switch. The paper is the largest one to make the move so far and media watchers are eager to see if the company can find a way to be successful.

Many of the company's 181 employees are being let go this week, leaving an army of reporters searching for somewhere else to write their stories.
SOT Angela Galloway I think people are trying to figure out what to do with themselves. Because there are only a few stories to write and when big news like this happens our instinct is to get a notepad and start working.
SOT James Wallace I mean a lot of people are losing their jobs all over the country, but the entire newspaper industry has imploded. A lot of newspapers are laying people off.
The industry is closely watching the Post-Intelligencer's online-only switch. The paper is the largest one to make the move so far and media watchers are eager to see if the company can find a way to be successful.
SOT Roger Oglesby The entire newspaper industry is going through a lot of financial problems right now. That applies to the print world, it applies to the online world and there's a lot that needs to be figured out, but it will be figured out. And the P-I is going to be right there in the middle of it, helping to figure it out.
SOT We're in a new world. All of us. Everyone in journalism

After 146 years, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer's final edition hit the presses Tuesday, but a small crew remained for a journalistic experiment: can a major newspaper make money, and produce good stories, as an Internet-only operation. (March 17)
I say: To be living brings me down In a way, I'm what you call a pimp Soap won't wash away your shame I'll sell, whatever there's to be sold In hell, I'd sell my own poor soul Where are you going with that mask I found you You're running through the world Thinking only about tomorrow In your dreams, I'll do all the things you say Your guess, is just as good as mine But no, I cannot justify your ways Take care, cause hurtable as hell I wear, I wear the hardest shell Daybreak, you're returning And I know that you want to play When I see the sun going down The eyes in my head, see the world spinning around
