Mobile Phone
A mobile phone or cell phone is a portable telephone that allows users to make and receive calls over a radio frequency link while moving within a designated telephone service area, unlike fixed-location phones ( landline phones). This radio frequency link connects to the switching systems of a mobile phone operator, providing access to the public switched telephone network (PSTN). Modern mobile telephony relies on a cellular network architecture, which is why mobile phones are often referred to as 'cell phones' in North America. Beyond traditional voice communication, digital mobile phones have evolved to support a wide range of additional services. These include text messaging, multimedia messaging, email, and internet access (via LTE, 5G NR or Wi-Fi), as well as short-range wireless technologies like Bluetooth, infrared, and ultra-wideband (UWB). Mobile phones also support a variety of multimedia capabilities, such as digital photography, video recordin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Handy Smurf
This is a list of '' The Smurfs'' characters appearing in the original comics, the 1980s cartoon and the 2011 movie (as well as its sequels), and the 2021 reboot. The Smurfs were also sold as collectible toys, and many of these characters were ideal from manufacturing and marketing points of view in that they had the same basic body plan but could be differentiated by one or two distinguishing accessories. Number of Smurfs According to '' Spirou'' magazine N° 1954 from 1964, there are 100 Smurfs in total; this does not take into account later additions from the Smurfs comic books and films. Although the Smurfs were fairly undifferentiated in the beginning, over time, where the story required it, very specific Smurfs emerged. For example, the character Smurfette was introduced in the 1967 album '' The Smurfette'' and disappeared "definitely" again at the end of that story. Only after she was re-introduced in the 1981 TV series, Smurfette became a regular character and ev ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Handy Writers' Colony
The Handy Writers' Colony, often called simply the Handy Colony or The Colony, was a writers' colony located in Marshall, Illinois, which operated from 1950–1964. The Handy Colony was founded in 1950 by Lowney Turner Handy and her husband, Harry Handy, along with Lowney's student (and then-lover), best-selling novelist James Jones. Lowney Handy was the Colony's quirky teacher and mentor, with financial support coming from her husband and Jones, particularly after the sale of Jones' first novel, '' From Here to Eternity''. A unique aspect of Handy's approach was to have her students spend many hours simply copying, by hand or typewriter, materials from authors whose work she admired. Handy was vehemently opposed to homosexual writers, often making homophobic and derogatory remarks about artists such as Walt Whitman, Marcel Proust, and Hart Crane, as well as D. H. Lawrence and T. S. Eliot, which she had banned her students from reading (along with the works of Wallace Stev ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

''Happy Tree Friends'' (commonly abbreviated as ''HTF'') is an adult animated web series created by Aubrey Ankrum, Rhode Montijo, and Kenn Navarro, and developed by Montijo, Navarro, and Warren Graff for Mondo Media.

Debuting sometime in 2000, ''Happy Tree Friends'' has achieved a cult following on Mondo's website and YouTube channel and expanded into a multimedia franchise, which includes the television series of the same name. Background History While working with Mondo Media, Rhode Montijo drew a character on a piece of scrap paper who would later become Shifty.
