Altered (film)
''Altered'' is a 2006 American science fiction horror film directed by Eduardo Sánchez and written by Jamie Nash. It was Sánchez's first solo effort as director, following his co-directing of ''The Blair Witch Project'' in 1999. The plot is an inversion of the standard alien abduction formula, as four men abduct a lone alien, planning to wreak revenge on the invading species. In its early stages, the film was entitled ''Probed'', and was intended as a comic homage to the work of Sam Raimi and Troma Entertainment. Plot ''Altered'' is the story of four men who seek revenge on aliens, who abducted them and murdered their friend many years ago. As is explained via dialogue throughout the film, fifteen years before the events shown in the film, a group of five friends living in a remote American town were captured and experimented on by aliens while on a hunting trip. Only four of the friends returned alive. The main character (Wyatt) has since distanced himself from his childhoo ...

Altered (drag Racing)
Altered is a former National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) drag racing class and a current drag racing chassis configuration that forms the basis of many classes of NHRA Competition Eliminator. The altered is " metimes called the poor man's agster".McClurg, Bob. ''Diggers, Funnies, Gassers and Altereds: Drag Racing's Golden Age''. (CarTech Inc, 2013), p. 44. While the emblematic altered is a short-wheelbase roadster with exposed engine and front frame rails, very similar to the earliest rail dragsters, altereds can be bodied cars also. By definition, altereds were essentially stock gas, alcohol, or nitromethane-class cars with parts removed or changed, making them ineligible for the previous class, such as Keith Ferrell's ''Dogcatcher'', a 1936 Willys sedan delivery; built as a gasser, Ferrell deliberately left something off to run it in B/Altered. History The Altered category originated "for cars with moderate changes", according to the rulebook. It developed from out of the Hot ...

Altered Scale
In jazz, the altered scale, altered dominant scale, Palamidian Scale, or Super Locrian scale is a seven-note scale that is a dominant scale where all non-essential tones have been altered. This means that it comprises the three irreducibly essential tones that define a dominant seventh chord, which are root, major third, and minor seventh and that all other chord tones have been altered. These are: * the fifth is altered to a 5 and a 5 * the ninth is altered to a 9 and a 9 *the eleventh is altered to a 11 (equivalent to a 5) *the thirteenth is altered to a 13 (equivalent to a 5) The altered forms of some of the non-essential tones coincide (augmented eleventh with diminished fifth and augmented fifth with minor thirteenth) meaning those scale degrees are enharmonically identical and have multiple potential spellings. The natural forms of the non-essential tones are not present in the scale. This means it lacks a major ninth, a perfect eleventh, a perfect fifth, and a major thi ...
