Choke (album)
''Choke'' is the second studio album by the English pop-rock group the Beautiful South, released in the UK on 29 October 1990. Upon its release, it was pushed to number 2 in the charts after the release of the band's only number one single, "A Little Time". It would remain in the charts for 22 weeks. The album was followed by two more singles, both of which were flops. "My Book", which became the band's first single to chart outside the top 40, peaked at number 43, and "Let Love Speak Up Itself" reached number 51. The original release of the album contained 11 tracks. The twelfth track, exclusive to the German release, was intended for the album from the beginning but was removed at a late stage of production. The cassette release of the standard version feature a long silence at the end of the first side, possibly indicating that this would have been the location originally intended for the track. Critical reception ''Trouser Press'' wrote that "''Choke'' makes it clear that th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Choke (2011 Film)
''Choke'' is a Canadian animated short film, directed by Michelle Latimer and released in 2011. Created by Latimer in conjunction with animator Terril Calder, the film centres on a young First Nations man who leaves his remote northern reserve to move to the city, only to find life there much more difficult and challenging than he had imagined. The film premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, where it received an honorable mention in the short films category. It was named to the Toronto International Film Festival's year-end Canada's Top Ten list for 2011, and subsequently received a Genie Award nomination for Best Animated Short Film at the 32nd Genie Awards in 2012.

Choke (firearms)
A choke is a tapered constriction of a firearm gun barrel, barrel at its muzzle (firearm), muzzle end. Chokes are most commonly seen on shotguns, but are also used on some rifles, pistols, or even airguns. Notably, some .22 LR match rifles have a constricted bore diameter near the muzzle. Chokes are almost always used with modern hunting and target shotguns to improve performance. Their purpose is to shape the spread of the shot "cloud" or "string" to gain better range and accuracy, and to deliver the optimum pattern of pellet density, for the particular target, depending on its size, range, aspect and whether it is traveling towards, across or away from the shooter. Chokes are implemented as either screw-in chokes, selected for particular applications, or as fixed, permanent chokes, integral to the shotgun barrel. Chokes may be formed at the time of manufacture either as part of the barrel, by squeezing the end of the bore down over a mandrel, or by threading the barrel and s ...

Inductor
An inductor, also called a coil, choke, or reactor, is a Passivity (engineering), passive two-terminal electronic component, electrical component that stores energy in a magnetic field when an electric current flows through it. An inductor typically consists of an insulated wire wound into a Electromagnetic coil, coil. When the current flowing through the coil changes, the time-varying magnetic field induces an electromotive force (''emf'') (voltage) in the conductor, described by Faraday's law of induction. According to Lenz's law, the induced voltage has a polarity (direction) which opposes the change in current that created it. As a result, inductors oppose any changes in current through them. An inductor is characterized by its inductance, which is the ratio of the voltage to the rate of change of current. In the International System of Units (SI), the unit of inductance is the Henry (unit), henry (H) named for 19th century American scientist Joseph Henry. In the measurement ...

Choke (electronics)
In electronics, a choke is an inductor used to block higher-frequency alternating currents (AC) while passing direct current (DC) and lower-frequency ACs in a circuit. A choke usually consists of a coil of insulated wire often wound on a magnetic core, although some consist of a doughnut-shaped ferrite bead strung on a wire. The choke's impedance increases with frequency. Its low electrical resistance passes both AC and DC with little power loss, but its reactance limits the amount of AC passed. The name comes from blocking—"choking"—high frequencies while passing low frequencies. It is a functional name; the name "choke" is used if an inductor is used for blocking or decoupling higher frequencies, but the component is simply called an "inductor" if used in electronic filters or tuned circuits. Inductors designed for use as chokes are usually distinguished by not having low-loss construction (high Q factor) required in inductors used in tuned circuits and filtering appli ...

Stuart Woods
Stuart Woods (born ''Stuart Chevalier Lee''; January 9, 1938 – July 22, 2022) was an American novelist, known best for his first novel '' Chiefs'' and his series of novels featuring protagonist Stone Barrington. Woods was a Georgia native, entered the advertising business after college graduation and lived in England and Ireland for almost a decade. He became an accomplished and competitive sailor. His interest in this pastime and his need for financing it provided the incentive to write for publication. Woods’ initial literary efforts focused on sailing and expanded to include reviews of numerous British restaurants, inns and hotels. His seminal work ''Chiefs'', inspired by his grandfather, a police chief, was adapted for television. Woods’ prolific Barrington series features the detective-lawyer, aided by a recurring cast of supporting characters, who handles lucrative cases which his law firm otherwise would rather not be associated with. Woods broadened his pastimes ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

A departure from the skate-punk sound that defined "Needless to Say", "Foreword" was described jokingly by Shea as the "career killer". Despite this, Exclaim! magazine called the album "a tremendous accomplishment by punk standards". Foreword cemented the band's reputation as one of Canada's top punk acts, alongside Propagandhi, Painted Thin, and I Spy.
