Datums may be global, meaning that they represent the whole Earth, or they may be local, meaning that they represent an ellipsoid best-fit to only a portion of the Earth. Examples of global datums include World Geodetic System (WGS 84, also known as EPSG:4326 ),
268-427: A European tour in 1973, Nielsen and Petersson returned to Rockford and reunited with Carlos. According to Rolling Stone , the band adopted the name Cheap Trick on August 15, 1973. The name was inspired by the band's attendance at a Slade concert, where Petersson commented that Slade used "every cheap trick in the book" as part of their act. Randy "Xeno" Hogan was the original lead singer for Cheap Trick. He left

Billboard commented: "After a long hitless streak, Cheap Trick brings it all back home. This is the quartet's punchiest effort since its mid-'70s heyday." Busted was released in 1990. The band was allowed more creative control, and professional songwriters were only used on
402-464: A coordinate tuple like a cartesian coordinate system , the geographic coordinate system is not cartesian because the measurements are angles and are not on a planar surface. A full GCS specification, such as those listed in the EPSG and ISO 19111 standards, also includes a choice of geodetic datum (including an Earth ellipsoid ), as different datums will yield different latitude and longitude values for
469-643: A dedicated cult following . Their influence has been cited by a diverse range of rock artists from both the mainstream and underground. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016. The current lineup of the band consists of Zander, Nielsen and Petersson. In 1967, Rick Nielsen formed Fuse with Tom Peterson (later known as Tom Petersson ), who had played in another Rockford, Illinois , band called The Bo Weevils. With Bun E. Carlos joining on drums, Fuse moved to Philadelphia in 1971. From 1972 to 1973, they called themselves Sick Man of Europe. After

In 1999, the band recorded a cover of Big Star's 1972 song " In the Street " that was used as the theme song for the Fox sitcom That '70s Show . Cheap Trick ended the song with the lyric "We're all all right," which was drawn from their own 1978 song " Surrender ". After spending much of 2001 writing songs and about six weeks in pre-production, Cheap Trick went into Bearsville Studios in Woodstock, New York , in March 2002, where they recorded their first studio album in six years, Special One in May 2003. Cheap Trick released Rockford on Cheap Trick Unlimited/Big3 Records in 2006. The first single from

The album was critically acclaimed and hailed as a return to form. Eleven weeks after the release, Red Ant's parent company Alliance Entertainment Corporation declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy . The single " Say Goodbye " only reached No. 119 on the charts, and
737-588: A point on Earth's surface is the angle east or west of a reference meridian to another meridian that passes through that point. All meridians are halves of great ellipses (often called great circles ), which converge at the North and South Poles. The meridian of the British Royal Observatory in Greenwich , in southeast London, England, is the international prime meridian , although some organizations—such as

This combination of mathematical model and physical binding mean that anyone using the same datum will obtain the same location measurement for the same physical location. However, two different datums will usually yield different location measurements for the same physical location, which may appear to differ by as much as several hundred meters; this not because

All Shook Up (1980), produced by former Beatles producer George Martin , reached No. 24 on the charts and was certified gold. However, the album's high-class background did not save it from descriptions like " Led Zeppelin gone psycho". In July 1981, CBS Inc. sued Cheap Trick and their manager Ken Adamany for $ 10 million, alleging they were attempting to coerce CBS into re-negotiating their contract and had refused to record any new material for
938-400: A trio. On April 1, 2016, the band released its first album in five years, Bang, Zoom, Crazy... Hello . They released a single, "No Direction Home," as a teaser for the album. The album was the band's first record on a major label in 22 years. Daxx Nielsen played drums on the album. On April 8, 2016, Cheap Trick was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame .

Similarly, the length in meters of a degree of longitude can be calculated as (Those coefficients can be improved, but as they stand
1206-563: Is an American rock band from Rockford, Illinois , formed in 1973 by guitarist Rick Nielsen , bassist Tom Petersson , lead vocalist Robin Zander and drummer Bun E. Carlos . Their work bridged elements of '60s guitar pop , '70s hard rock , and the emerging punk rock sound, and would help set the template for subsequent power pop artists. Cheap Trick released their self-titled debut album in 1977 and, later that year, found success in Japan with
1273-452: Is known as a graticule . The origin/zero point of this system is located in the Gulf of Guinea about 625 km (390 mi) south of Tema , Ghana , a location often facetiously called Null Island . In order to use the theoretical definitions of latitude, longitude, and height to precisely measure actual locations on the physical earth, a geodetic datum must be used. A horizonal datum
1340-626: Is the exact distance along a parallel of latitude; getting the distance along the shortest route will be more work, but those two distances are always within 0.6 m of each other if the two points are one degree of longitude apart. Like any series of multiple-digit numbers, latitude-longitude pairs can be challenging to communicate and remember. Therefore, alternative schemes have been developed for encoding GCS coordinates into alphanumeric strings or words: These are not distinct coordinate systems, only alternative methods for expressing latitude and longitude measurements. Cheap Trick Cheap Trick
1407-465: Is used to precisely measure latitude and longitude, while a vertical datum is used to measure elevation or altitude. Both types of datum bind a mathematical model of the shape of the earth (usually a reference ellipsoid for a horizontal datum, and a more precise geoid for a vertical datum) to the earth. Traditionally, this binding was created by a network of control points , surveyed locations at which monuments are installed, and were only accurate for

In 1884, the United States hosted the International Meridian Conference , attended by representatives from twenty-five nations. Twenty-two of them agreed to adopt
3551-461: The location has moved, but because the reference system used to measure it has shifted. Because any spatial reference system or map projection is ultimately calculated from latitude and longitude, it is crucial that they clearly state the datum on which they are based. For example, a UTM coordinate based on WGS84 will be different than a UTM coordinate based on NAD27 for the same location. Converting coordinates from one datum to another requires
