An interactive television program guide system with program series reminder and recording capabilities is provided. An apparatus for manufacturing a wrap-around tube from at least one strip-shaped material is distinguished by the fact that it has a rotating wrapping element, which is indirectly or directly in engagement with the wrap-around tube, and a stationary wrapping core, onto which the at least one strip-shaped material is wrapped. A back plate of varying configurations is attached to the base center portion for insertion into the soil to form a vertical sub-surface wall for both straight and cornered configurations. An input of the first current mirror is connected to the node of the voltage follower circuit that follows the voltage at the output of the current output stage. The anode material nanoparticles preferably have a mean linear dimension of between 2 and 500 nanometers, and more preferably have a mean linear dimension of between 2 and 50 nanometers. In response to the user’s selection of the image representative of the brand, the device automatically presents the user with an image of a map that indicates a current location of the device and shows one or more images representative of brand purchase sites where the selected brand may be accessed by the user.
