The network is headquartered at the 20th Century Fox studio lot on Pico Boulevard in the Century City section of Los Angeles , with additional major offices and production facilities at the Fox Television Center in nearby West Los Angeles and the Fox Broadcasting Center in the Yorkville neighborhood of Manhattan , New York City . It is the third largest major television network in the world based on total revenues , assets , and international coverage . Launched on October 9 , 1986 as a competitor to the Big Three television networks ( ABC , NBC and CBS ) , Fox went on to become the most successful attempt at a fourth television network . It was the highest-rated broadcast network in the 18 -- 49 demographic from 2004 to 2012 , and earned the position as the most-watched American television network in total viewership during the 2007 -- 08 season . Fox and its affiliated companies operate many entertainment channels in international markets , although these do not necessarily air the same programming as the U.S. network .

The history of art is a multidisciplinary branch of the arts and sciences , seeking an objective examination of art throughout time , classifying cultures , establishing periodizations , and observing the distinctive and influential characteristics of art . The study of the history of art was initially developed during the Renaissance , with its limited scope being the artistic production of Western civilization . However , as time has passed , it has imposed a broader view of artistic history , seeking a comprehensive overview of all the civilizations and analysis of their artistic production in terms of their own cultural values ( cultural relativism ) , and not just western art history . Today , art enjoys a wide network of study , dissemination and preservation of all the artistic legacy of mankind throughout history . The 20th century has seen the proliferation of institutions , foundations , art museums and galleries , in both the public and private sectors , dedicated to the analysis and cataloging of works of art as well as exhibitions aimed at a mainstream audience . The rise of media has been crucial in improving the study and dissemination of art . International events and exhibitions like the Whitney Biennial and biennales of Venice and São Paulo or the Documenta of Kassel have helped the development of new styles and trends . Prizes such as the Turner of the Tate Gallery , the Wolf Prize in Arts , the Pritzker Prize of architecture , the Pulitzer of photography and the Oscar of cinema also promote the best creative work on an international level . Institutions like UNESCO , with the establishment of the World Heritage Site lists , also help the conservation of the major monuments of the planet ." } ]

In their most general form these activities include the production of works of art , the criticism of art , the study of the history of art , and the aesthetic dissemination of art . The oldest documented forms of art are visual arts , which include creation of images or objects in fields including painting , sculpture , printmaking , photography , and other visual media . Architecture is often included as one of the visual arts ; however , like the decorative arts , or advertising , it involves the creation of objects where the practical considerations of use are essential -- in a way that they usually are not in a painting , for example . Music , theatre , film , dance , and other performing arts , as well as literature and other media such as interactive media , are included in a broader definition of art or the arts . Until the 17th century , art referred to any skill or mastery and was not differentiated from crafts or sciences . In modern usage after the 17th century , where aesthetic considerations are paramount , the fine arts are separated and distinguished from acquired skills in general , such as the decorative or applied arts . Art may be characterized in terms of mimesis ( its representation of reality ) , expression , communication of emotion , or other qualities . During the Romantic period , art came to be seen as `` a special faculty of the human mind to be classified with religion and science '' . Though the definition of what constitutes art is disputed and has changed over time , general descriptions mention an idea of imaginative or technical skill stemming from human agency and creation .

However , without some knowledge of the story being told it is very hard to read ancient pictures because they are not organized in a systematic way like words on a page , but rather can unfold in many different directions at once . Static images in any artistic medium do not naturally lend themselves to telling stories as stories are told over time ( diachronic ) and pictures are seen all at once ( synchronic ) . Although there are some common features to all narrative art , different cultures have developed idiosyncratic ways to discern narrative action from pictures . Prior to the advent of literacy most narrative art was done in a simultaneous narrative style with very little overarching organization . Once literacy developed in different parts of the world pictures began to be organized along register lines , like lines on a page , that helped define the direction of the narrative . This method of linking scenes together led to other ways of telling stories in the 20th century , namely the newspaper , comic strips and comic books .

Accounting , which has been called the `` language of business '' , measures the results of an organization 's economic activities and conveys this information to a variety of users , including investors , creditors , management , and regulators . Practitioners of accounting are known as accountants . The terms `` accounting '' and `` financial reporting '' are often used as synonyms . Accounting can be divided into several fields including financial accounting , management accounting , external auditing , tax accounting and cost accounting . Accounting information systems are designed to support accounting functions and related activities . Financial accounting focuses on the reporting of an organization 's financial information , including the preparation of financial statements , to external users of the information , such as investors , regulators and suppliers ; and management accounting focuses on the measurement , analysis and reporting of information for internal use by management . The recording of financial transactions , so that summaries of the financials may be presented in financial reports , is known as bookkeeping , of which double-entry bookkeeping is the most common system . Accounting is facilitated by accounting organizations such as standard-setters , accounting firms and professional bodies .

DeMille , shot in VistaVision ( color by Technicolor ) , and released by Paramount Pictures . The film is based on Prince of Egypt by Dorothy Clarke Wilson , Pillar of Fire by J.H. Ingraham , On Eagle 's Wings by A.E. Southon , and the Book of Exodus . The Ten Commandments dramatizes the biblical story of the life of Moses , an adopted Egyptian prince who becomes the deliverer of his real brethren , the enslaved Hebrews , and therefore leads the Exodus to Mount Sinai , where he receives , from God , the Ten Commandments . The film stars Charlton Heston in the lead role , Yul Brynner as Rameses , Anne Baxter as Nefretiri , Edward G. Robinson as Dathan , Yvonne De Carlo as Sephora , Debra Paget as Lilia , and John Derek as Joshua ; and features Sir Cedric Hardwicke as Sethi , Nina Foch as Bithiah , Martha Scott as Yoshebel , Judith Anderson as Memnet , and Vincent Price as Baka , among others . Filmed on location in Egypt , Mount Sinai and the Sinai Peninsula , the film was DeMille 's last and most successful work . It is a partial remake of his 1923 silent film of the same title , and features one of the largest sets ever created for a film . The film was released to cinemas in the USA on 5 October 1956 and , at the time of its release , was the most expensive film ever made . In 1957 , the film was nominated for seven Academy Awards including Best Picture , winning the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects ( John P. Fulton , A.S.C. ) . Charlton Heston was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture ( Drama ) for his role as Moses . Yul Brynner won the National Board of Review Award for Best Actor for his role as Rameses and his other roles in Anastasia and The King and I . It is also one of the most financially successful films ever made , grossing approximately $ 122.7 million at the box office during its initial release ; it was the most successful film of 1956 and the second-highest-grossing film of the decade . According to Guinness World Records , in terms of theatrical exhibition it is the seventh most successful film of all-time when the box office gross is adjusted for inflation . In 1999 , the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being `` culturally , historically , or aesthetically significant '' . In June 2008 , the American Film Institute revealed its `` Ten Top Ten '' -- the best ten films in ten American film genres -- after polling over 1,500 people from the creative community . The film was listed as the tenth best film in the epic genre . Network television has aired the film in prime time during the Passover/Easter season every year since 1973 .

As described in the Old Testament books Exodus and Deuteronomy , the Commandments form part of a covenant offered by God to the Israelites to free them from the spiritual slavery of sin . According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church -- the official exposition of the Catholic Church 's Christian beliefs -- the Commandments are considered essential for spiritual good health and growth , and serve as the basis for Catholic social justice . A review of the Commandments is one of the most common types of examination of conscience used by Catholics before receiving the sacrament of Penance . The Commandments appear in the earliest Church writings ; the Catechism states that they have `` occupied a predominant place '' in teaching the faith since the time of Augustine of Hippo ( AD 354 -- 430 ) . The Church had no official standards for religious instruction until the Fourth Lateran Council in 1215 ; evidence suggests the Commandments were used in Christian education in the early Church and throughout the Middle Ages , but with inconsistent emphasis . The lack of instruction in them by some dioceses formed the basis of one of the criticisms launched against the Church by Protestant reformers . Afterward , the first Church-wide catechism in 1566 provided `` thorough discussions of each commandment '' , but gave greater emphasis to the seven sacraments . The most recent Catechism devotes a large section to interpret each of the commandments . Church teaching of the Commandments is largely based on the Old and New Testaments and the writings of the early Church Fathers . In the New Testament , Jesus acknowledged their validity and instructed his disciples to go further , demanding a righteousness exceeding that of the scribes and Pharisees . Summarized by Jesus into two `` Great Commandments '' that teach love of God and love of neighbor , they instruct individuals on their relationships with both . The first three commandments demand respect for God 's name , observation of the Lord 's Day and prohibit the worship of other gods . The others deal with the relationships between individuals , such as that between parent and child ; they include prohibitions against lying , stealing , murdering , adultery and covetousness .", "topk_rank": 2 }, { "id": "List_of_religious_films", "score": 0.6779494881629944, "text": "This is a list of films with religious themes .", "topk_rank": 3 }, { "id": "Epic_film", "score": 0.6755922436714172, "text": "Epic film is a style of filmmaking with large scale , sweeping scope , and spectacle .

The film 's remarkable location shots were made in Bois de Boulogne , around and in the Château de Guermantes in Seine-et-Marne and in Semur-en-Auxois ( department Côte-d'Or ) .

In comparison to the likewise brilliant fencing the dancer Gene Kelly ( An American in Paris , Xanadu ) had provided as `` d'Artagnan '' in an earlier adaptation , the fencing in this film looks less like dancing and more dangerous .

It was released on June 6 , 1984 , while he was working for the Dorodnitsyn Computing Centre of the Academy of Science of the USSR in Moscow . He derived its name from the Greek numerical prefix tetra - ( all of the game 's pieces contain four segments ) and tennis , Pajitnov 's favorite sport . Tetris was the first entertainment software to be exported from the USSR to the US , where it was published by Spectrum HoloByte for Commodore 64 and IBM PC . The Tetris game is a popular use of tetrominoes , the four-element special case of polyominoes . Polyominoes have been used in popular puzzles since at least 1907 , and the name was given by the mathematician Solomon W. Golomb in 1953 . However , even the enumeration of pentominoes is dated to antiquity . The game ( or one of its many variants ) is available for nearly every video game console and computer operating system , as well as on devices such as graphing calculators , mobile phones , portable media players , PDAs , Network music players and even as an Easter egg on non-media products like oscilloscopes . It has even inspired Tetris serving dishes and been played on the sides of various buildings . While versions of Tetris were sold for a range of 1980s home computer platforms as well as arcades , it was the hugely successful handheld version for the Game Boy launched in 1989 that established the game as one of the most popular ever .

The game features several difficulty levels and two-player simultaneous play . Atari later ported the game to the Nintendo Entertainment System ( NES ) and released an unlicensed NES version in 1989 under its Tengen brand . However , there were issues with the title 's publishing rights . After much legal wrangling , Nintendo itself ended up with the rights to publish console versions of Tetris , leaving Atari with only the rights to arcade versions . As a result , the Tengen game was only on the shelf for four weeks before Atari was legally required to recall the game and destroy any remaining inventory of its NES version . Nintendo produced its own version for the Game Boy as well as the NES . Both versions were commercially successful and Nintendo held the Tetris license for many years . With less than 100,000 copies known to exist , the Tengen release has since become a collector 's item , due to its short time on the market .
