35. Computer art is any in which computers played a role in production or display. Such art can be an image, sound, animation, video, CD-ROM, DVD, video game, website, algorithm, performance or gallery installation. Many traditional disciplines are now integrating digital technologies and, as a result, the lines between traditional works of art and new media works created using computers have been blurred. For instance, an artist may combine traditional painting with algorithmic art and other digital techniques. As a result, defining computer art by its end product can be difficult. Nevertheless, this type of art is beginning to appear in art museum exhibits, though it has yet to prove its legitimacy as a form unto itself and this technology is widely seen in contemporary art more as a tool rather than a form as with painting
36. One of the earliest appearances of a true stinger in a mainstream film was in The Muppet Movie in 1979, and use of such scenes gained popularity throughout the 1980s at the end of comedy films.

The scenes were often used as a form of metafiction, with characters showing an awareness that they were at the end of a movie, and often telling the audience directly to leave the theatre. Films using this technique include Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Spice World. Stingers also came out on Mystery Science Theater 3000, introduced in episode 205 ("Rocket Attack U.S.A."), continuing until the end of the series. The stingers, with a few exceptions, highlighted moments from the films that were either particularly nonsensical or had simply caught the Brains ' attention

Homeschooling may also refer to instruction in the home under the supervision of correspondence schools or umbrella schools. In some places, an approved curriculum is legally required if children are to be home-schooled. A curriculum-free philosophy of homeschooling may be called unschooling, a term coined in 1977 by American educator and author John Holt in his magazine Growing Without Schooling. In some cases, a liberal arts education is provided using the trivium and quadrivium as the main model
38. Both the Gallente Federation and Caldari State are economical and trade oriented nations. However, the Gallente favour liberal economic policies, encourage individual entrepreneurship and social democracy, and maintain a progressive approach to social welfare whereas the Caldari State is organised as a form of statist corporatocracy, where the State itself is owned by and operated on behalf of a few trust-like megaconglomerates. Due to their official policies regarding multiculturalism and encouragement for diversity, the Gallente Federation attracts many immigrants; a third of all ethnic Minmatars reside as citizens there, and thus while the Caldari State originally existed at a relative population deficit, this was rectified instead by a State-wide programme of artificial reproduction, producing a generation of so-called ' Tube Children ' raised by the State to enlarge the available labour pools of the controlling megacorporations
39. The Jak series is primarily a story-based platformer presented in the third-person perspective. The player can explore a multitude of different areas in an open world environment, and is able to collect hidden Precursor Orbs, which are usually difficult to reach, to unlock cheats in the "Secrets Menu". Power Cells were required to advance the story in The Precursor Legacy and could be obtained by completing mission for the locals or finding them on Jak's travels. Completing story related missions unlocked new locations in subsequent titles. Both characters can double-jump and perform several melee attacks, while Jak can manipulate a substance called Eco, which provides the player with improved abilities, such as increased speed and more powerful melee attacks. The use of Dark Eco was introduced in Jak II and Light Eco was added in Jak 3. They appeared as a form of currency in The Lost Frontier due to their rarity, but could not be used for combat as they were unstable
