1. Fireworks (Pyrotechnic) -- Fireworks Displays
   A crucial aspect of any fireworks display is precise timing. Shells have to explode at the right height for maximum effect. Shells that explode at low altitude might ... create safety hazards. Altitude control is achieved by having a fuse that burns at a known rate, the height of explosion being governed by the length of the fuse. Pattern shells, which generate patterns like heart shapes require that the different “stars” burn at the same time. The synchronization of fireworks to music requires that different shells be fired with accurate timing.
2. Fireworks (Pyrotechnic)
   Macromedia Fireworks is an image-editing application designed for Web developers. Unlike Photoshop, Fireworks was not originally created for printable graphics but was designed with Web sites in mind. The application includes many of the features that make Photoshop popular but is not as complex. Additionally, Fireworks provides Macromedia users the interface they are familiar with while integrating seamlessly with Macromedia Dream-weaver or Flash. This workshop will cover the basics of working with Fireworks' interface, tools, and Web-production techniques.
3. Fireworks (Vector Based) -- Adobe Fireworks
   Macromedia Fireworks is the complete solution for creating, optimizing and integrating great-looking web graphics. Macromedia Fireworks became Adobe Fireworks when Adobe bought Macromedia in 2005. With Adobe Fireworks you can accelerate web design and development like never before.
4. Fireworks (Vector Based) -- Fireworks Cs3
   The LSA license of Adobe Fireworks CS3 is a concurrent license. Such a license requires the use of a license server that monitors usage of this software. LSA uses KeyServer to monitor concurrent software licenses. KeyClient software is required for installation and operation of Adobe Fireworks CS3. KeyClient software may be obtained from your local departmental systems administrator. Adobe Fireworks CS3 may NOT be used on personal workstations.
5. Fireworks (Vector Based) -- Macromedia Fireworks Mx
   Macromedia Fireworks MX is the easiest way to create, optimize, and export interactive graphics in a single, Web-centric environment. Fireworks MX is a key component in Macromedia Studio MX, which combines the latest versions of market-leading Macromedia tools to provide developers with a streamlined, integrated product family focused on increasing developer productivity and return on investment. Fireworks MX delivers a streamlined environment for creating everything from simple graphical buttons to sophisticated rollover effects. It simplifies navigation creation with easier pop-up menu creation and even more control. Users can deliver both horizontal and vertical JavaScript pop-up menus that work with tabbed button bar appearances and other creative layouts, and pop-up menu attributes are all customizable including spacing, borders, and color shading. Wizards enable users to quickly create sophisticated web navigation by automatically generating the graphics and JavaScript.Fireworks MX can automatically generate data-driven graphics by dynamically linking to XML content as well as automate repetitive graphics creation by connecting a graphic file with variables to an XML file.
6. Fireworks (Pyrotechnic) -- United States
   The creation of fireworks is an art form that entertains millions of people throughout the world. There are many different types of fireworks, but they are all made in pretty much the same way. Compounds are placed in a shell, then the whole thing is wrapped up, and then a fuse is added. Voilà, you have a firework. In the factories where fireworks are made, safety precautions are in effect to ensure that a single static electric shock doesn't create a catastrophe.
7. Fireworks (Pyrotechnic) -- East River
   The knowledge of fireworks began to spread to the west. It is believed that Marco Polo on one of his trips to China transported this invention to the Middle East where European Crusaders brought it to England.
8. Fireworks (Pyrotechnic) -- Colors
   Light and color production in fireworks is no different than the glowing of metal loops when placed in a flame. A mixture of a fuel and oxidizing agent produces intense heat that makes metal flakes glow. Different colors are produced by using salts of different metals. Sometimes, magnesium is ... used, its oxidation producing dazzling sparks. Pellets comprising fuel, oxidizer, and metal flakes are called “stars.” These are arranged in specific shapes in an explosive-packed shell. When the shell explodes, the “stars” get distributed in the sky and produce spectacular patterns of light and color.
9. Fireworks (Pyrotechnic) -- Displays
   A cold flame firework is the breakthrough and innovation on the traditional fireworks technology. It combines with the technology of smokeless and cold flame. It is a new safe and pollution free product. The display effect is brilliant and will not produce poisonous, harmful and odorous smoke or heated leftover.
10. Fireworks (Pyrotechnic) -- World
    Today China, the country where it all began, is the largest manufacturer and exporter of fireworks in the world. The technology has traveled from its beginning there all the way around the world. It is still a developing technology and there is still more to learn about it. In 2004, Disney Land in California used compressed air instead of gunpowder to launch the rockets into the air. This process reduced the fumes greatly and allowed even greater accuracy in height and timing. The history of fireworks is still being written. The discovery of the peaceful and entertaining side of fireworks changed the way gunpowder was used throughout the world.
