He first studied literae humaniores at Hertford College, Oxford, and graduated with a Bachelor degree in 1964, the same year he married the schoolteacher Jennifer Osgathorpe. He then began his study of theology, and a year later received a [[Master of Arts (Oxbridge and Dublin)|Master of Arts degree from Mansfield College, Oxford. He then began his doctoral work under the direction of Robert Jenson, which took six years because he began teaching two years into his doctoral program as he became Lecturer in Philosophy of Religion at King's College, London, in 1969.  His dissertation was a study of the doctrine of God in the thought of Charles Hartshorne and Karl Barth, which was completed in 1973.

Gunton was ordained in the United Reformed Church in 1972. He became an Associate Minister of the Brentwood United Reformed Church in 1975, a position which he held until his death. Gunton was appointed Lecturer in Systematic Theology at King's College in 1980, and in 1984 became Professor of Christian Doctrine, later becoming the Dean of Faculty from 1988 to 1990. He also served as Head of the Department of Theology and Religious Studies from 1993 to 1997.

John Tanchak

John Peter Tanchak (May 7, 1905 in Rosa, Manitoba – May 13, 1983) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He was a Liberal member of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1957 to 1969.

The son of Peter Tanchak and Mary Mihaychuk, Tanchak was educated at the University of Manitoba, and worked as a general merchant and turkey farmer before entering political life. In 1934, he married Doris Osachuk. He was first elected to the Manitoba legislature in a by-election on November 14, 1957, defeating Progressive Conservative challenger Frank Casper by nearly 200 votes in the southeastern riding of Emerson. He was re-elected by a greater margin in the 1958 provincial election, although the Liberals lost power at the provincial level.

He was returned by comfortable margins in the elections of 1959 and 1962, but defeated PC challenger Gabriel Girard by only 165 votes in the 1966 election. In the 1969 election, he lost to Girard by 463 votes as Liberal support plummeted in the province.

During his time in office, he worked to establish chicken and turkey producer boards in the province.

Tanchak was chairman of the Manitoba Turkey Marketing Board and the Canadian Turkey Marketing Association.

He died in Winnipeg at the age of 78.

Ronggeng

Ronggeng (ꦫꦺꦴꦁꦒꦺꦁ) is a type of Javanese dance in which couples exchange poetic verses as they dance to the music of a rebab or violin and a gong. Ronggeng originated in Java, Indonesia.

Ronggeng has probably existed in Java since ancient time as the bas reliefs in Karmawibhanga section of the eighth-century Borobudur display the scene of a travelling entertainment troupe with musicians and female dancers. In Java, a traditional ronggeng performance features a traveling dance troupe that travels from village to village. The dance troop consists of one or several professional female dancers, accompanied by a group of musicians playing musical instruments: rebab and gong. The term "ronggeng" also applied for this female dancers. During a ronggeng performance, the female professional dancers are expected to invite some male audiences or clients to dance with them as a couple with the exchange of some tips money for the female dancer, given during or after the dance. The couple dances intimately and the female dancer might perform some movements that might be considered too erotic by standard of modesty in Javanese court etiquette. In the past, the erotic and sexual nuance of the dance gave ronggeng a shady reputation as prostitution disguised in the art of dance.

Ronggeng is the main theme of Ahmad Tohari's novel Ronggeng Dukuh Paruk, which tells the story of a dancer girl who is also a prostitute, in a remote village in Central Java. Ronggeng is closely related to Sundanese Jaipongan dance.

Tim Hawkinson

Tim Hawkinson (born 1960) is an American artist who mostly works as a sculptor.

Education
Hawkinson was born in San Francisco, California in 1960. He received a BFA from San Jose State University in 1984, and a MFA from the University of California, Los Angeles in 1989.

Work
Hawkinson′s work is mostly sculptural, ranging in scale from minute to huge. His themes include his own body (although some of his work could be called self portraiture), music, and the passing of time, as well as his artistic engagement with material, technique, and process. Some of his pieces are mechanized (the mechanism usually fully on view), or involve sound.

Hawkinson is renowned for creating complex sculptural systems through surprisingly simple means. His installation “Überorgan”—a stadium-size, fully automated bagpipe—was pieced together from bits of electrical hardware and several miles of inflated plastic sheeting. Hawkinson’s fascination with music and notation can also be seen in “Pentecost,” a work in which the artist tuned cardboard tubes and assembled them in the shape of a giant tree. On this tree the artist placed twelve life-size robotic replicas of himself, and programmed them to beat out hymns at humorously irregular intervals. The source of inspiration for many of Hawkinson’s pieces has been the re-imagining of his own body and what it means to make a self-portrait of this new or fictionalized body. In 1997 the artist created an exacting, two-inch tall skeleton of a bird from his own fingernail parings, and later made a feather and egg from his own hair. Believable even at a close distance, these works reveal Hawkinson’s attention to detail as well as his obsession with life, death, and the passage of time.

In 2015, Hawkinson received a Guggenheim Fellowship for fine arts.

Exhibitions
Hawkinson has exhibited at the Venice Biennale (1999), the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, (2000), the Power Plant in Toronto, Canada (2000), the Whitney Biennial (2002), and the 2003 Corcoran Biennial in Washington, D.C.

A 2009 exhibition of new works included sculptures crafted from eggshells and a life-sized motorcycle constructed out of feathers. It was on view from May 8 through July 4, 2009 at The Pace Gallery, New York. Wonzimer Gallery in Los Angeles exhibited Hawkinson in the 2020 show "The Shape of Life."

Permanent collections
His 2005 sculpture Bear is a part of the Stuart Collection of public art on the campus of the University of California San Diego.

Personal life
Hawkinson lives in Los Angeles with his wife, artist Patty Wickman.

Talk:Video jockey

Two distinct articles
"Although less known by mainstream America"... does this qoute seem to suggest a need for two distinct articles? Hiberniantears 12:58, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm an experienced veejay and in my oppinion the MTV article must be placed in to the "Vj as Video performance artist" article. Information about MTV it's too poor to have enough relevance. Otherwise, we will see in short time definitions like "Red is the CocaCola color" :) --Rezponze 04:00, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Hello, thanks for joining in conversation. Please bear with me, because I guess I'm as little confused. I had thought that Vj as Video performance artist was more of an artist, compared to an MTV VJ which seems more like just a pretty face not requiring any kind of skill. The difference between, say, Terminator X and Casey Kasem. Now, I've been to some dance clubs and seen the video art -- I had assumed they were just using MilkDrop -- but now that I've read your article I think maybe it was a VJ. But are you saying that there's no difference between what they do and what e.g. Carson Daly does? Ewlyahoocom 16:38, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Surely vj is a contempary term used worldwide to represent visual jockey's. I agree with the last person.

So whats wrong with having the contempary, worldwide, commonly used vj definition and whats wrong with haveing a link to the vj performance artist wikipedia definition. I get the feeling that some MTV person is related to this page, its not just America that uses this term to represent visual jockey. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wyrdsisterz (talk • contribs)

Of course. I'm totally sure about MTV people has interest on this article. I think is a very dangerous interference in wikipedia objectivity. I have relation with hundreds of veejays, personaly and by forums, and NOBODY likes the MTV article and everybody perceives a suspicious intention behind. RESUME: In my oppinion, the main article must be "VJ as live video artist" with a "see also MTV vj" meaning. It's so obvious that this situation make me laugh. --Rezponze 14:31, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Let me make sure I understand you: it's not that you think MTV-style VJs and video performance artists should be on the same page; but rather that you think VJ should be moved to something like VJ (music video show), and that the article VJ (Video performance artist) article should be moved to VJ. Is this correct? Ewlyahoocom 15:57, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes. I think VJ (Video performance artist) must be placed on VJ. And VJ (MTV-sytle-vj) in other page like MTV or MTV VJ. In my oppinion it's an easy, objective and non-interseted action. --Rezponze 21:14, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Hi from Canada. We have a couple of music channels, Much Music and Much More Music, so a generic page should be made for VJ (music video show).  They would still be considere MTV-style, but it would be more encompassing if the article was general. MatthewWilder 15:37, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

 * There is a definite lack of objectivity if you say "see also VJ (Music show type)". I think there should be disambiguation, because when I hear VJ, I think of the MTV type.  I think 99% of people would agree.  To people within "visual jockey" circles, I can see why you would want it to be the way you are suggesting it.  However, that would not be consistent with Wikipedia's goal of objectivity.  MatthewWilder 16:04, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the . Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

don't move. — Nightst a  llion  (?) 11:37, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Requested move

 * VJ → MTV VJ and VJ (Video performance artist) → VJ … Rationale: In my oppinion, the main article must be "VJ as live video artist" with a "see also MTV vj" meaning. It's so obvious that this situation make me laugh. -- Move requested on behalf of Rezponze by Ewlyahoocom 22:17, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Survey

 * Add *Support or *Oppose followed by an optional one-sentence explanation, then sign your opinion with  ~

 * Oppose I believe that the primary meaning of VJ is someone who introduces music videos on music video shows. Ewlyahoocom 22:19, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Oppose VJ is most commonly understood as someone who introduces music videos on music channels. The most significant change that would be reasonable would be disambiguation, but it would be wrong to follow the proposed change. MatthewWilder 16:06, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Support In digital and art culture VJ is understood as someone who makes a live video performance. You can read specialized reports in press, magazzines, talking about VJ with this meaning. Please, search in Google "vj", "videojockey" or "video jockey" and let me know what you find: VJ Central, software for vj's, international events for live video artist... --Rezponze 19:59, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. What Ewlyahoocom said. Original and most common meaning (at least in general use). And while I'm here, can someone (probably best after discussion concludes) move the neo-neologism to the properly capped VJ (video performance artist). 24.18.215.132 03:11, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Support There's absolute no doubt! Vj is an person who create, mix or play motion pictures in an active contest. That's the actual meanig of the word VJ. It's a profession and it's a great cultural gap that it still have to be related to an sort of a Mtv anchorman. There MUST be one page for VJ containing first the definition of Vj as performer then a definition of Mtvs professional figure. I agree to make to subpages MTV VJ and VJ (visual performer) as already up now -- Mikkel.orgRezponze 20:43, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Oppose I had honestly never even heard of the other type of VJ until now.138.88.205.233 03:09, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Opose Even though this is what most people would think of I still think there is no primary meaning just like 'DJ' can be a radio DJ similar to an MTV presenter or a live mixer. The former are becoming more commonly known as presenters though.Jp246 08:49, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Discussion

Rezponze has mentioned that "in digital and art culture VJ is understood as..." There isn't even a claim that all people understand the VJ to be something. While that culture (which is essentially a special interest group) may be familiar with a certain meaning to the term, it is not even a majority understanding, and certainly not universal. So, it doesn't make sense to appease one minority group at the expense of all others. And this is not a matter of talent, but a matter of understanding. While it might take considerably more effort and capability to be an artist, it would not be consistent with Wikipedia policies to abandon the more vast understanding of what VJ means. At the most, the topic should begin with disambiguation, branching to VJ (Music video show host) and VJ (Video performance artist). That should be an acceptable compromise. MatthewWilder 21:32, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Well, it seems that there are two parallel realities. One is that in which VJ is a video introducer in the MTV channel, and the other is the one of the thousands of artists, publications and not specialized public "" who use word VJ to talk about themselves and their art. We can be long time speaking if one reality is more important that the other one, or if MTV VJ aception is more extended (and extended error). So, we (vj's) will still using VJ for speak about us and our art, we don't recognize MTV VJ as a real VJ, and modern art history will write the definitive article. Thanks a lot for this chance to show mi ideas. --Rezponze 00:15, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

SO then we can discuss what and how we want to define a VJ intended as a performer... user Mikkel 20:43, 28 May 2006

Copyright mess
Well the copyright violation by didn't turn out to be the copyright violation that it was tagged as being. But it was still a violation, as it copied and pasted VJ (video performance artist) (the displayed text, not even the wikitext) over the top of this one, without a proper backlink in the edit summary. I've cleaned up some of the mess. Uncle G (talk) 19:22, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Edward Clinton, 1st Earl of Lincoln

Edward Fiennes, or Clinton, 1st Earl of Lincoln KG (1512 – 16 January 1584/85) was an English landowner, peer, and Lord High Admiral. He rendered valuable service to four of the Tudor monarchs.

Family
Edward Clinton, or Fiennes, was born at Scrivelsby in Lincolnshire, the son of Thomas Clinton, 8th Baron Clinton (1490–1517), by Jane (or Joan) Poynings, one of the seven illegitimate children of Sir Edward Poynings (1459–1521) of Westenhanger, Kent. She was the sister of Thomas Poynings, 1st Baron Poynings (died 1545), Edward Poynings (died 1546), and Sir Adrian Poynings. After the death of the 8th Baron Clinton in 1517, Jane Poynings married, as his second wife, Sir Robert Wingfield (died 1539).

Clinton succeeded his father as 9th Baron Clinton in 1517. As he was only five years old when his father died, he was made a royal ward in the Court of Wards and by 1530 had been married to the King's former mistress, the 30-year-old Elizabeth Blount.

France
Clinton joined the retinue of King Henry VIII at Boulogne and Calais in 1532. He sat in the House of Lords in 1536 and later served in the Royal Navy against French and Scottish naval forces from 1544 to 1547. He was knighted in Edinburgh by Edward Seymour, 1st Earl of Hertford, for his part in the capture of that city in 1544. He also took part in the Siege of Boulogne in September 1544. Under John Dudley, Viscount Lisle, he saw action against the French at the Battle of Spithead in 1545 and was sent as one of the peace commissioners to France the following year.

Scotland
In August 1547, Clinton was sent to Scotland with a fleet of twelve ships to support the Siege of St Andrews Castle and prevent a French intervention, but he arrived too late. He captured Broughty Castle on 24 September, refortified it with the aid of an Italian military engineer, and installed Andrew Dudley as its captain, leaving him three ships, the Mary Hamborough, the Barque Eger, and the Phoenix.

Clinton commanded the English fleet during the invasion of Scotland by Edward Seymour and provided naval artillery support at the Battle of Pinkie on 15 September 1547. In August 1548 he sailed into the Firth of Forth and scattered French and Scottish ships near Leith. He then landed 500 men to burn the ships in the harbour of Burntisland and contemplated fortifying the harbour for English use. He was aboard the Great Barque.

Governor of Boulogne
Appointed as Governor of Boulogne in 1547, Clinton successfully defended the city against a French siege from 1549 to 1550. That same year, with Henry Manners, 2nd Earl of Rutland, he was appointed Lord Lieutenant of Lincolnshire and of Nottinghamshire and served as Lord High Admiral under King Edward VI from 1550 to 1553, and again in the reign of Queen Elizabeth from 1559 to his death in 1585. He was a Privy Counsellor from 1550 to 1553 and briefly served as an envoy to France in 1551. After his appointment as Lord-Lieutenant of Lincolnshire in 1552, Clinton took part in the defeat of Wyatt's Rebellion in Kent in 1554.

He was a commander of the expedition of William Herbert, 1st Earl of Pembroke to support the Spanish forces at the Battle of Saint Quentin in northern France on 10 August 1557, but arrived after the battle was largely won. Upon his return to England, Clinton took command of the English fleet, raided the French coast and in 1558 burnt the town of Le Conquet and the surrounding area.

Northern Rebellion
With Ambrose Dudley, 3rd Earl of Warwick, Clinton was in joint command of a large army during the Northern Rebellion; however, the army was still being assembled when the rebellion was defeated in January 1570. He was created Earl of Lincoln in 1572, and served as ambassador to France, during which time he undertook several commissions from Queen Elizabeth I until his death in London on 16 January 1585. As Lord Admiral he is credited with at least one important reform: setting up a separate Court of Admiralty in Ireland.

In 1541-42 following the dissolution of the monasteries, Clinton and his wife, Ursula, were granted the lands of the earlier Aslackby Preceptory of the Knights Templar—later belonging to the Knights Hospitaller—at Aslackby in Lincolnshire.

Marriage and children
He married three times:
 * Firstly to Elizabeth Blount (d. 1539), Henry VIII's former mistress, by whom he produced three daughters:
 * Lady Bridget Clinton (born c. 1536), married Robert Dymoke (Dymock or Dymocke), of Scrivelsby, Lincolnshire, c. 1556 and had ten children. He was a devout Catholic and was declared a martyr after his death.
 * Lady Katherine Clinton (c. 1538 – 14 August 1621), married William Burgh, 2nd Baron Burgh of Gainsborough (c. 1522 – 10 October 1584), son of Thomas Burgh, 1st Baron Burgh. They had two children which included Thomas Burgh, 3rd Baron Burgh.
 * Lady Margaret Clinton (born c. 1539), married Charles Willoughby, 2nd Baron Willoughby of Parham (died 1603), and had five children.
 * Secondly to Ursula Stourton, daughter of William Stourton, 7th Baron Stourton by whom he produced five children:
 * Henry Clinton, 2nd Earl of Lincoln, (1540 – 29 September 1616) eldest son and heir.
 * Lady Anne Clinton (1542–1629), married Sir William Ayscough (1541-22 Aug 1585).
 * Thomas Clinton (1548–1610); he married Mary Tyrell.
 * Lady Frances Clinton (1552 – 12 September 1623). She was born at Scrivelsby, Lincolnshire and died at Woburn Abbey, Bedfordshire. She married Giles Brydges, 3rd Baron Chandos.
 * Lady Elizabeth Clinton (1554–1634).
 * Thirdly on 1 October 1552 to Elizabeth FitzGerald ("the fair Geraldine"), daughter of Gerald FitzGerald, 9th Earl of Kildare and the widow of Sir Anthony Browne. The marriage was childless.

Death
He died in London on 16 January 1585.

Button accordion

A button accordion is a type of accordion on which the melody-side keyboard consists of a series of buttons. This differs from the piano accordion, which has piano-style keys. Erich von Hornbostel and Curt Sachs categorize it as a free reed aerophone in their classification of instruments, published in 1914. The sound from the instrument is produced by the vibration of air in reeds. Button accordions of various types are particularly common in European countries and countries where European people settled. The button accordion is often confused with the concertina; the button accordion's buttons are on the front of the instrument, where as the concertina's are on the sides and pushed in parallel with the bellows.

Main components
All accordions and concertinas have three main components: the reeds, bellows, and buttons or keys. Pushing or pulling the bellows slower or faster makes the sound softer or louder, respectively. The accordion has free reeds on both the treble and bass sides. In modern accordions, the free reeds are generally made of tempered steel. The press of a button or key opens a valve to allow air to pass through the reed or reeds to make a sound when the bellows are pumped in or out. In the diatonic button accordion, reeds are fixed in pairs so that one note sounds when air moves in, and a different one when air moves out. The button accordion has melodic notes on one side of the bellows (usually the right side), and bass accompaniment notes on the other side (generally the left).

Some button accordions have 'stops', which change the tone and are called things like "Organ" or "Trumpet" or "Tremolo". These allow the instrument to produce different tones for a variety of situations. Some popular examples are the three-stop accordion, with two sets of tenor reeds and one bass set, and the classic German four-stop. The three-stop accordion has two sets of tenor and one set of bass reeds. The German four-stop is preferred by Cajun musicians and has one bass, one piccolo, and two tenor stops. This gives the instrument a denser sound. Most diatonic instruments lack switches, though there are some made by companies such as Hohner, as well as the one-row 'Cajun'-type boxes which have usually 3 or 4 stops on top of the box as switches (making it even more akin to a pipe organ), but it is generally more common to find switches on a chromatic or piano accordion.

Variations
Button accordions are found with a wide variety of keyboard systems, tuning, action, and construction.

The diatonic button accordion is bisonoric, meaning when a button is pressed, the note sounded changes depending on whether the bellows are being expanded or contracted. This is similar to the harmonica, where the note changes depending on whether the player is breathing in or out. In most diatonic button accordions, each row of melody buttons produces a different major scale, with accidentals on 'helper buttons' at the ends of the rows. The diatonic button accordion is the most popular type of button accordion, and appears in many cultures, especially in folk music.

One popular type of diatonic button accordion is the standard, one-row button accordion. This is tuned to a diatonic, 2.5 octave scale. The accompaniment side (bass/chordal side) buttons play a tonic chord when pushed, and dominant chord when pulled. This works well and is popular in basic Anglo-American fiddle tunes. The German melodeon was a popular, later version of a diatonic button accordion, especially in Scotland until around the 1920s.

The chromatic button accordion is very similar to piano accordion, but can have 3, 4, or 5 rows of buttons on the right hand side. It is unisonoric, meaning the same note is sounded whether the bellows are pushed or pulled. The chromatic button accordion is traditionally used in a concert setting, and is more popular in jazz and classical music because it can be freely played in any key, usually with identical fingering patterns.

History
The first diatonic button accordion was patented under the name 'Accordion' in 1829 by Cyril Demian. The same year, Charles Wheatstone made the first concertina. The first chromatic button accordion was made by Franz Walther in 1850. The name 'Accordion' is thought to originate from Akkord, the German word for chord. The accordion may have originated with traditional reed instruments from southeast Asia. The button accordion was first mass-produced in Europe in 1835, with the piano accordion coming later. It was the first mass-produced, loud, durable, portable instrument – though it was not cheap. At first, the button accordion was too expensive to be very common among the lower and middle classes, but as it lost its novelty (around the 1860s ), it became more widespread among these groups, too. Surviving early instruments show that at first they only played chords, and were to be played left-handed, unlike now. The first accordions only had 5 buttons (10 chords), so they were mostly used for accompaniment.

Early minstrel troupes toured America as early as 1843, spreading the accordion sound. The button accordion was ideal for dance music of many cultures, because one could play both the melody and accompaniment at once, and still be able to sing or tap his or her feet. The many reeds produce a louder sound, ideal for a crowded dance hall.

Northeast
The diatonic 2-row button accordion with eight bass buttons is still very common in northeast Brazil. It is known as the fole to distinguish it from the piano accordion. It first appeared there in the late nineteenth century. Previously, one-row diatonic button accordions with two bass buttons were used. Later, chromatic accordions grew in popularity, increasing the possible styles that could be played on them.

Ireland
The concertina, button accordion, and piano accordion are all popular in Irish traditional music. The button accordion was first available for sale in Ireland in 1831.

Mexico & Texas, US
The button accordion is very common in Tejano (Texas-Mexican) music. The two-row button accordion is very common, with some variation. Mexican norteño musicians prefer accordions with more vibrato, and Texan musicians favor less vibrato. The vibrato comes from tuning the reeds ever so slightly different from one another.

Louisiana, US
The button accordion arrived in Louisiana in the 1800s. It was a popular instrument with the Cajuns and the French-speaking creoles. Later, a new, higher quality version of the button accordion was made in Louisiana, which became and remained popular with Cajun and Zydeco players. The Acadian tradition of southern Louisiana influenced some, such as Huddie "Leadbelly" Leadbetter. The button accordion was especially popular among African-Americans in Louisiana from 1880 to 1910. In some regions and groups, the diatonic button accordion is known as a 'windjammer'.

Sub-Saharan Africa
Starting in the 19th century, the button accordion has played a part in sub-Saharan Africa n music. It was brought there by sailors, merchants, and settlers, and is used solo and in dance bands.

Notable players

 * Huddie "Leadbelly" Leadbetter: One of the first African-Americans to make commercial recordings on the button accordion. He was from Caddo Parish, Louisiana and made recordings of rural African-American music on the accordion from 1942 to 1947. His music was influenced by the Acadian style of southern Louisiana.
 * Flaco Jiménez: Popular accordionist in Tejano music.
 * Gilberto Reyes: Popular accordionist in Tejano music. He repaired and tuned his own accordions, and made changes to his own button accordion. Because of this, the Hohner instrument company noticed him and invited him to work with them. He changed the tuning of the reeds in the button accordion to develop an accordion with Flaco Jiménez' preferred sound, making it ideal for Texas-Mexican music.
 * Narciso Martínez: Often called an 'accordion pioneer' in Tejano music.
 * Zé Calixto: Popular accordion virtuoso in northeast Brazil. Brother to Luizinho Calixto.
 * Luizinho Calixto: Popular accordion virtuoso in northeast Brazil. Brother to Zé Calixto.
 * Sharon Shannon: Irish musician
 * David Hidalgo: Of the band Los Lobos

Stridor

Stridor is an extra-thoracic high-pitched breath sound resulting from turbulent air flow in the larynx or lower in the bronchial tree. It is different from a stertor, which is a noise originating in the pharynx.

Stridor is a physical sign which is caused by a narrowed or obstructed airway. It can be inspiratory, expiratory or biphasic, although it is usually heard during inspiration. Inspiratory stridor often occurs in children with croup. It may be indicative of serious airway obstruction from severe conditions such as epiglottitis, a foreign body lodged in the airway, or a laryngeal tumor. Stridor should always command attention to establish its cause. Visualization of the airway by medical experts equipped to control the airway may be needed.

Causes
Stridor may occur as a result of:
 * foreign bodies (e.g., aspirated foreign body, aspirated food bolus);
 * infections (e.g., epiglottitis, retropharyngeal abscess, croup);
 * subglottic stenosis (e.g., following prolonged intubation or congenital);
 * airway edema (e.g., following instrumentation of the airway, tracheal intubation, drug side effect, allergic reaction);
 * laryngospasm (from aspiration, GERD, or complication of anesthesia)
 * subglottic hemangioma (rare);
 * vascular rings compressing the trachea;
 * thyroiditis such as Riedel's thyroiditis;
 * vocal cord palsy;
 * tracheomalacia or tracheobronchomalacia (e.g., collapsed trachea).
 * congenital anomalies of the airway are present in 87% of all cases of stridor in infants and children.
 * vasculitis.
 * infectious mononucleosis
 * peritonsillar abscess
 * Laryngeal edema is a common cause of stridor post extubation (occurring from pressure of the endotracheal tube on the mucosa as a result of endotracheal tube that is too large (e.g. pediatrics), cuff over inflation, and prolonged intubation times.);
 * tumor (e.g., laryngeal papillomatosis, squamous cell carcinoma of larynx, trachea or esophagus);
 * ALL (T-cell ALL can present with mediastinal mass that compresses the trachea and causes inspiratory stridor)

Diagnosis
Stridor is mainly diagnosed on the basis of history and physical examination, with a view to revealing the underlying problem or condition.

Chest and neck x-rays, bronchoscopy, CT-scans, and/or MRIs may reveal structural pathology.

Flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy can also be very helpful, especially in assessing vocal cord function or in looking for signs of compression or infection.

Treatments
The first issue of clinical concern in the setting of stridor is whether or not tracheal intubation or tracheostomy is immediately necessary. A reduction in oxygen saturation is considered a late sign of airway obstruction, particularly in a child with healthy lungs and normal gas exchange. Some patients will need immediate tracheal intubation. If intubation can be delayed for a period, a number of other potential options can be considered, depending on the severity of the situation and other clinical details. These include:

In obese patients elevation of the panniculus has shown to relieve symptoms by 80%.
 * Expectant management with full monitoring, oxygen by face mask, and positioning the head on the bed for optimum conditions (e.g., 45 - 90 degrees).
 * Use of nebulized racemic adrenaline epinephrine (0.5 to 0.75 ml of 2.25% racemic epinephrine added to 2.5 to 3 ml of normal saline) in cases where airway edema may be the cause of the stridor. (Nebulized Codeine in a dose not exceeding 3 mg/kg may also be used, but not together with racemic adrenaline [because of the risk of ventricular arrhythmias].)
 * Use of dexamethasone (Decadron) 4–8 mg IV q 8 - 12 h in cases where airway edema may be the cause of the stridor; note that some time (in the range of hours) may be needed for dexamethasone to work fully.
 * Use of inhaled Heliox (70% helium, 30% oxygen); the effect is almost instantaneous. Helium, being a less dense gas than nitrogen, reduces turbulent flow through the airways. Always ensure an open airway.

What makes Fatal Fury Special non-canonical but Real Bout Fatal Fury Special canonical? --Feitclub 02:42, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, Street Fighter's games are all separated, in fact so are the games of just about every other franchise with more than three games.

Secret Character Leo
There is a secret character called Lao in Fatal Fury First Contact.Do you know any inforrmation or pics about him?

Windows port
It should be mentioned that FF3 was ported to Windows, because it is one of three SNK's games which were ported.

Capitalization
Although it may be a standard convention in Wikipedia to not capitalize the first letter of particles such as "of", I have to remind you that King Of Fighters is abbreviated as KOF and that Art Of Fighting is abbreviated as AOF, thus implying the capitalization of the the first letter from the "of" particle in those titles.

In a similar regard, the "real bout" in REAL BOUT Fatal Fury should go fully capitalized as it's how SNK intended it to be regardless of any website's conventions.

 * "Of" is a preposition, not a particle. Also, I don't think you have to insist on usage of words by the marketing of non-native speakers of English to be taken as sacrosanct. How about using better editorial judgement than that?--69.226.232.133 17:57, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

Fatal Fury is not SNK's oldest fighting game. I believe that title belongs to "Street Smart".

Talk:Aubade

Untitled
What on earth does it mean to say that a poem isn't "quite up to metaphysical standards"? Does that belong in this article?

Relation to alba (poetry)
I think alba is the original langue d'oc name for it, and aubade is the langue d'oïl version, which presumably became more popular after the Albigensian Crusade. Tagelied is the Minnesinger version, and everywhere else seems to use the name aubade. Is that correct? If so, that can be made clearer on all the pages. Rigadoun 18:24, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Larkin poem
I'd argue that the lover is death as well as life - it's his strange obsession with death he parts with at dawn, not life (yet). Obviously this is in the ironic context of the fact that his base terror is of losing life. I know this isn't the place for literary criticism, I'm just saying it's not clear that it's one or the other. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.28.95.139 (talk) 10:23, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

underwear
Aubade also is a quite famous underwear manufacturer, cf. aubade.com (which even provides iGoogle modules...) To be mentioned, or not to be mentioned - that is the question... — MFH:Talk 02:55, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Romeo and Juliet
Is there some reason that the reference to, quote from, and painting based on Romeo and Juliet were all removed? Granted, the aubade was embedded in a play, but it's still the most famous and often read version of the poetic form, and surely Shakespeare's status as a poet is not in question. I rather liked the pointed relation to one of the most read works in English literature, and I have no idea why such a handy tool of explanation was removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.17.159.144 (talk) 21:27, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Parting at Morning by Robert Browning
should this be an example? It sums up aubade rather nicely I think...

From a door or window
I have reworded the statement that "an aubade is a song from a door or window," as it made it sound as if the door or window was the singer. I haven't been able to access the reference, but surely the idea is "sung by a lover who stands by a door or window, to a sleeping woman." 850 C (talk) 16:16, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

Bill Farmer

Bill Farmer (born November 14, 1952) is an American voice actor. He has performed the voice of the Disney character Goofy since 1987, and has also been the voice of Pluto and Horace Horsecollar since 1990.

Early life
Bill Farmer was born on November 14, 1952, in Pratt, Kansas, the second child in his family. His parents were of English and Welsh descent.

Farmer began doing voices, at the age of 10, involved doing impressions, especially those of Western stars like John Wayne or Walter Brennan. He and his friends would sometimes go through fast food drive-thrus and order foods in his character voices. Farmer graduated from the University of Kansas in 1975, where he became a member of the Sigma Chi Fraternity. In university, he found work in radio and TV and then moved on to stand-up comedy as an impressionist. In 1982, while he was still doing stand-up comedy, Farmer worked at a comedy club called the Comedy Corner in Dallas, Texas. He continued to work there until his move to Hollywood in 1986.

His decision to move to California came from a Dallas commercial agent who suggested that, given his talent for voices, he should try his luck in California. He was recently married, but he and his wife talked it over and came to an arrangement. She stayed back in Dallas while he commuted for a year after he got an apartment. Then four months after his moving out to Hollywood, his agent asked him if he could do any Disney characters.

Farmer asserts that voice acting is not about funny voices, but about acting. His mentor was the versatile voice actor Daws Butler, the man behind many of Hanna-Barbera's characters. He taught Farmer that when doing cartoon voices, a person is not merely doing a funny voice, but they are an actor and the acting is premier and that one has to think like the character one is performing.

Career
Upon moving to Hollywood, he got a call for an open audition for the Disney character Goofy. When he auditioned for the role, he studied the way the original actor Pinto Colvig performed as Goofy in the classic cartoons. He studied the hilarious laugh and the distinctive "gawrsh". After auditioning for the role, he inherited the voice of Goofy in January 1987 (and also Pluto in 1990).

He originated the voice of Horace Horsecollar in Disney's version of The Prince and the Pauper and has played him ever since as well. Farmer also performed additional voices on The New Adventures of Mighty Mouse (1987) and Astro Boy (2004).

In 1987, Farmer had a small part as reporter Justin Ballard-Watkins in the film RoboCop.

Other significant characters he has played include Yosemite Sam, Sylvester and Foghorn Leghorn in the film Space Jam (1996). He has also done several guest voices, both on TV, including The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy and in video games, including the Destroy All Humans! series, Namco's Tales of Symphonia, where he voiced Governor-General Dorr, in Square Enix's Kingdom Hearts series reprising the role of Goofy, Detective Date in the SEGA game Yakuza, Captain Wedgewood and Frill Lizard in Ty the Tasmanian Tiger, many voices on EverQuest II, Cletus Samson, Floyd Sanders, Jeff Meyers and Ryan LaRosa in the video game Dead Rising and Sam and others in the cult classic adventure game Sam & Max Hit the Road.

Farmer has also played Secret Squirrel on Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law in both the animated series and its spin-off video game, Stinkie in Casper: A Spirited Beginning and Casper Meets Wendy, Stanley in Beauty and the Beast, male cats in Cats Don't Dance, male ants in A Bug's Life, photographer in Monsters, Inc., Edgar in Brother Bear, Oliver Sansweet's lawyer in The Incredibles, Willie Bear in Horton Hears a Who!, Sam the Bus Driver in The Grinch, Mr. Leghorn in Loonatics Unleashed and Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck in Robot Chicken.

From 2014 to 2016, he played Doc, the leader of the title characters in Disney's animated television series The 7D. He also voiced Blackhoof Boar Clan Leader in the 2008 video game Kung Fu Panda.

Farmer still regularly performs comedy routines at the Laugh Factory. He voiced the character Hopediah "Hop Pop" Plantar on Disney's Amphibia from 2019 to 2022.

In 2020, Farmer began hosting the live action television show It's a Dog's Life with Bill Farmer on Disney+.

Recognition
In September 2009, Farmer was named a Disney Legend. In 2011, the International Family Film Festival awarded Bill Farmer the 'Friz Award' for Animation.

He won the Annie Award for Voice Acting in an Animated TV/Broadcast Production for his work as Goofy and Grandma Goofy in Mickey Mouse.

Personal life
Farmer has been married to his wife, Jennifer Wynne, since 1985. Together they have a son, Austin.

In the Deathroom

"In the Deathroom" is a horror short story by American writer Stephen King. It first appeared in the 1999 audiobook Blood and Smoke. In 2000, it was first published in print in Secret Windows, a volume which was available to the Book of the Month Club only. In 2002, it was collected in King's mass-market publication, Everything's Eventual.

Author's note
Stephen King included this note with the story in Everything's Eventual: "This is a slightly Kafka-esque story about an interrogation room in the South American version of Hell. In such stories, the fellow being interrogated usually ends up spilling everything and then being killed (or losing his mind). I wanted to write one with a happier ending, however unreal that might be. And here it is."

Plot summary
Fletcher, a former reporter from The New York Times, has been captured by members of a South American dictatorship. The story begins as he is brought into the titular "deathroom" for interrogation about an allegedly communist insurgency, which he has been supporting due to the government's killing of a group of nuns which included his sister. Fletcher realizes that his captors, despite their promises to the contrary, will not let him leave the room alive.

During the course of his interrogation, Fletcher manages to keep calm, and hatches a desperate plan to escape, which, to his surprise, actually works. He fakes an epileptic seizure and, in the captors' struggle to save him, steals a gun. After killing three of his captors and maiming one, he escapes the deathroom. Fletcher, having no way of knowing if the gunfire was heard, starts up the stairs to see if he can escape.

The story ends with a man, almost certainly Fletcher, buying a pack of cigarettes at a newsstand kiosk in New York.

 * They do have a system called "murfling" that provides a warning about posts which contain offensive language. It doesn't censor, it just warns. I think it's kind of neat. Would that be worth mentioning in the article?Elliot Pratt 03:04, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Link issues
This sentence reads sort of funny: "The website also features a database of LEGO sets and provides links to other major LEGO sites such as LDraw.org (http://www.ldraw.org), distributor of popular LegoCAD programs; Brickshelf (http://www.brickshelf.com), free image hosting site for LEGO fans; Peeron (http://www.peeron.com), a LEGO parts inventory site; MOCpages (http://www.mocpages.com), providing web site hosting for LEGO fanatics; and a variety of themed forum sites."

Not sure how to fix it, but it sort of leaves the impression on first reading that all those other things are part of LUGNET. Maybe if the list of links were bulletized? I do have to ask, is linking to other sites important enough to warrant a paragraph larger than many of the rest? I don't know the right answer. ++Lar 05:15, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Revert war?
Examine the history and you will see that there appears to be a bit of a slow running (not 3RR violating, mind you, but there nonetheless) revert war going on about Lego vs. LEGO as the proper capitalization. The current Manual of Style clearly says that here at Wikipedia, Lego is the proper usage, despite company preference. (note that BrickWiki usage guidelines are different but that's there not here). May I suggest that some sort of warning or comment (if there's a template already, great!) be placed at the top of the article to cut back on the wasted effort of the reverts? Changing capitalization policy cannot be done here, better to argue it on the MoS talk page... ++Lar 23:18, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

"AFOL" redirects to this page, which is not very informative about what does AFOL mean.

Either a section about how the word means Adult fan of LEGO or making it redirect to new page might be a good idea.

BrikWars
Hi,

I heard about LUGNET through my investigations into BrikWars. BrikWars is played primarily with Lego minifigures and other Lego pieces. My understanding is that BrikWars is one topic that might plausibly be discussed via LUGNET. See. Therefore it seemed natural to me, that the LUGNET page should have a "See Also" link to BrikWars. I put one in, but someone reverted it. I do not want to get into any sort edit war, so I won't touch the LUGNET page again. But I would appreciate gaining a little more understanding on why my edit was reverted. Slimy asparagus (talk) 21:19, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

L.A. Reid

Antonio Marquis "L.A." Reid (born June 7, 1956) is an American record executive, A&R representative, and record producer. He has served as the chairman and CEO of Epic Records and The Island Def Jam Music Group, as well as the president and CEO of Arista Records. He co-founded the record label Hitco Entertainment in 2017, which was sold to Concord in 2022.

Early in his career he was a musician, joining the Ohio R&B bands Pure Essence in 1973, and The Deele (with future business partner Babyface) in 1981 as a drummer. Reid also has an extended musical career serving as a record producer, programmer, and instrumentalist for various recording artists. He founded Hitco Music Publishing in 1996, and co-founded LaFace Records with Babyface in 1989. Reid appeared as a judge on the first two seasons of the U.S. version of the television show The X Factor, after which he focused on the release of Xscape (2014)—the second posthumous album by American singer-songwriter Michael Jackson.

Reid has won three Grammy Awards, including as a songwriter for his work on Boyz II Men's "End of the Road". His life is documented in his 2016 memoir Sing to Me: My Story of Making Music, Finding Magic, and Searching for Who's Next, which also made the New York Times bestseller list.

Beginnings
L.A. Reid began his music career as a drummer, with his first appearance on record being with the Cincinnati funk rock outfit Pure Essence. Pure Essence released one solitary 45 in the mid-1970s. They later appeared on local FM rock radio station WEBN's second annual LP compilation, but the group was renamed 'Essence'. Reid would experience more mainstream success when he became a member of the 1980s R&B band The Deele, best known for their 1988 hit "Two Occasions", a song on their third album Eyes of a Stranger. The band had broken up before the success of the single, then reunited to promote "Two Occasions" as it rose up the charts under Dick Griffey's Solar Records. The song peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100.

1989–2004: LaFace Records and Arista years
After The Deele disbanded, Reid and bandmate Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds founded LaFace in 1989 through a joint venture with Arista Records, with funding from Arista Records creator Clive Davis. The label soon became one of the premier destinations for popular African-American entertainers who created Black Pop music that was easily accessible to both Urban and Top 40 radio formats. Reid signed 14-year-old Usher to the label, whose six album releases have sold 65 million units worldwide. Other popular acts on the label during its peak include Toni Braxton, TLC, and Outkast. Both TLC and Toni Braxton went on to sell more than 65 million records each. Initially headquartered in Atlanta, the label played a significant role in developing the city's music industry.

 * Hitco Publishing Group

Reid formed the Hitco Publishing Group in 1996, as a joint venture with Windswept Music. While starting up Hitco, Reid, looking to connect to a new market of producers, songwriters and talent, hired Shakir Stewart whom he saw as someone with "a finger on the pulse of the next generation of hot producers in the Atlanta music scene". Shakir's first job in the music industry was as a creative executive at Hitco; he went on to become a senior vice president at Island Def Jam Music Group.

In May 2000, Edmonds and Reid sold their remaining 50% stake in LaFace to parent company BMG. The label became an imprint of Arista Records, with Arista taking on sales, marketing, and promotional duties for its acts. At this time, Reid also succeeded Clive Davis as president of Arista Records.

In 2000, LaFace was merged into Arista Records with Reid being promoted to president and CEO of Arista Records. In 1997, Reid attended the Harvard Business School six-week Advanced Management Program, in preparation to become CEO of Arista Records. In 2000, Reid signed his first unknown artists, Latin rapper Havana Mena and pop/rocker Avril Lavigne, to Arista. Avril Lavigne's debut album Let Go sold 6 million copies in the United States. As president of Arista Records, Reid signed artists such as Pink (whose November 2001 album Missundaztood sold 5 million copies in the US) and Ciara (whose September 2004 debut album Goodies sold 2.5 million copies in the US).

Under Reid's tenure at Arista, Usher (whom Reid originally signed at LaFace) completed production on his multi-platinum hit 2004 album Confessions, which went on to spawn four No. 1 hit singles and sell 10 million copies in the United States alone. Outkast's Speakerboxxx/The Love Below sold more than 10 million copies and won a Grammy Award for Album of the year.

2004–2012: Island Def Jam Music Group and The X Factor
Following the merger of Sony and BMG, L.A. Reid was released from his contract at Arista in 2004 and became the chairman and CEO of The Island Def Jam Music Group in February 2004. Reid is noted for bringing Mariah Carey's career back to prominence with her multi-platinum 2005 album The Emancipation of Mimi after her career had stalled from 2001 to 2003 with less than stellar sales and general lack of public interest for her two previous projects, Glitter and Charmbracelet.

Reid also played a role in the successes of artists such as Kanye West, Rihanna, Bon Jovi, and Justin Bieber and was credited for the musical comeback of Jennifer Lopez with her 2011 album Love?. Reid stepped down as Chairman/CEO of Island Def Jam in March 2011.

In early 2011, Reid became a judge on The X Factor USA for the first season, alongside creator and former American Idol judge Simon Cowell, pop star and dancer Paula Abdul and former Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger, who replaced British recording artist Cheryl Cole.

Reid was assigned the Boys category throughout the competition, aided by friend and singer Rihanna at the Judges' Houses stage of the competition in The Hamptons. His final four acts were Marcus Canty, Chris Rene, Astro and Phillip Lomax. Lomax was eliminated on week one of the Live Shows, with Astro being eliminated on week six. Marcus Canty came fourth in the competition and was eliminated by the public vote in the semi-final (week eight). Chris Rene was Reid's most successful act who came third overall in the competition, bested by Josh Krajcik (who was mentored by Nicole Scherzinger) in second place and Melanie Amaro (mentored by Simon Cowell) who won the show. After the season ended, Reid worked with Astro, Marcus Canty and Chris Rene on their music careers.

In July 2011, Reid became the chairman and CEO of Epic Records. The label's roster included various former Jive Records artists.

In 2012, Reid returned for the second season of The X Factor USA' along with Simon Cowell, while Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul were axed from the panel, along with Season 1 host Steve Jones. Joining the judging panel were new judges Demi Lovato and Britney Spears, while Khloé Kardashian and Mario Lopez replaced Jones as co-hosts. Reid's category in the "Over 25s" included Tate Stevens, the winner of the season.

Reid announced in December 2012 that he would not return for the third season in 2013 and was replaced by former judge of The X Factor UK, Kelly Rowland.

2013–2017: Memoir, Xscape album, Epic Records
One of the projects that Reid embarked on following his stint on The X Factor, was remaking Michael Jackson songs after his death with the album Xscape, released May 2014. Reid went through 40 years of tracks catalogued by the Jackson estate, and eight tracks of Jackson vocals set to new music from Timbaland and J-Roc, Rodney Jerkins, Stargate and John McClain, the former A&M Records executive who is co-executor of the Jackson estate with John Branca. The originals they worked with were recorded by Michael Jackson from 1983 to 1999, the period just after Thriller and before Invincible. Xscape earned Gold certification.

In 2016, Reid published the memoir Sing to Me: My Story of Making Music, Finding Magic, and Searching for Who's Next. The book received favorable reviews. Soul Train wrote: "In Sing to Me: My Story of Making Music, Finding Magic, and Searching for Who's Next, his memoir written with Joel Selvin, Reid vividly takes readers on a musical journey via fascinating stories and rare photos that chronicle his modest beginnings as a young musician in Cincinnati, to his storied and adventurous path to becoming one of the most successful music executives in history.

Under Reid, Epic had four albums debut at No. 1: Future, DJ Khaled, Travis Scott, and the final album from A Tribe Called Quest. On March 3, 2017 Future became the only artist on the Billboard charts to release back-to-back albums that debuted at number 1. While at Epic, Reid established the label as a hub for hip-hop acts such as Future, Travis Scott, DJ Khaled, and had significant success with pop artists including Meghan Trainor and Fifth Harmony. During his tenure, Epic grew its market share to 3.63 percent, up from 2.56 percent when he took over in 2011.

Reid is the co-author (with Joel Selvin) of The New York Times bestseller Sing to Me: My Story of Making Music, Finding Magic, and Searching for Who's Next.

In May 2017, it was announced that Reid would exit his post at Epic Records following an accusation of unlawful behavior by a female co-worker. In response Reid stated: "I'm proud of my track record promoting, supporting and uplifting women at every company I've ever run. That notwithstanding, if I have ever said anything capable of being misinterpreted, I apologize unreservedly."

2018 to 2022; Hitco Entertainment
In 2018, Reid became founder and co-chairman of Hitco Entertainment, LLC with Charles Goldstuck, the former Chairman and CEO of TouchTunes Interactive Networks. Formed in January 2018, the company has offices in Los Angeles, New York and Atlanta and has signed over 15 artists including platinum-selling acts Big Boi (of Outkast) and Dinah Jane of Fifth Harmony; the first release is a new album from Big Boi of Outkast. In April 2018, Empire Distribution, the San Francisco-based independent music company founded by Ghazi Shami, announced that it will provide distribution services to Hitco for their first new album release for Big Boi. In August 2018, Hitco held The Hit List showcase in New York City with performances by Hitco artists including Yella Beezy. Hitco's hit, Yella Beezy's "That's on Me", reached No. 1 at Urban Radio and Top 20 at Rhythm in September & has since went on to sell over 2 million copies worldwide. Songwriter Delacey, who has written for the likes of Halsey and Zara Larsson, joined the Hitco roster as a solo artist releasing "My Man," in March 2019. Also in March, Jennifer Lopez premiered the single "Medicine" featuring French Montana, her first release with Reid's Hitco Entertainment label.

In 2022, the assets of Hitco and its artist recording contracts were sold to Concord Music Group and Hitco ceased operations.

Awards and recognition
On August 30, 2006, L.A. Reid, along with Babyface, was honored as a BMI Icon at the 6th annual BMI Urban Awards. As of 2006, he has won 18 BMI awards. Together with Babyface, Reid has produced and/or co-written penning numerous R&B hits, racking up over 40 No. 1 singles.

Reid was honored with the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences' President's Merit Award at the Grammy salute to Industry Icons celebration on February 9, 2013, the day prior to the 55th Grammy Awards. Reid is also a three-time Grammy Award winner. In 2014, Reid received the Harvard University Alumni Award of Excellence in Media.

In March 2016, Reid, received an award from BET Honors for The Business of Entertainment Award.

Philanthropy
In 2006, Reid was noted for his philanthropic efforts to bring arts programs to urban youth at the Art for Life Palm Beach fundraiser hosted by Russell Simmons. That year, he also received the UJA-Federation of New York's Music Visionary Award. He has also been involved with the Taste of Hope event for the City of Hope organization and the Robin Hood Foundation. In 2008, Reid wrote and co-produced the song "Just Stand Up" for the television special Stand Up To Cancer, which was performed by artists including Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Rihanna, Fergie, Sheryl Crow, Miley Cyrus, Melissa Etheridge, Ashanti, Natasha Bedingfield, Keyshia Cole, Ciara, Leona Lewis, LeAnn Rimes, and Carrie Underwood. The record sales for the single were donated to the show's eponymous organization. In 2009, Reid received the Spirit of Compassion Award from UNICEF.

Personal life
Reid has a son named Antonio M. Reid, Jr., born in 1978, from a previous relationship. He married Perri "Pebbles" Reid in 1989; the two had a son, Aaron Alexander, in November 1989. Reid and Pebbles divorced in 1996. In 2000 he married Erica Holton. They have two children.

Reid was nicknamed "L.A." by a friend because he frequently wore a Los Angeles Dodgers shirt as a child.

Sexual misconduct allegations
In May 2017, the media reported that one of Reid's female assistants filed a sexual misconduct claim against him. Epic Records executives allegedly refused to intervene at the time. Reid soon departed from Sony's Epic Records.

In November 2023, former music executive Drew Dixon, who worked with Reid at Arista Records between 2000 and 2002, filed a sexual assault lawsuit against him in the Federal District Court in Manhattan, alleging that Reid sexually assaulted her on two occasions. The lawsuit, which was filed under the New York Adult Survivors Act, charged that Reid's misconduct forced Dixon out of the music business.

The Diplomats

The Diplomats (also known as Dipset) is an American hip hop collective formed in 1997 by childhood friends Cam'ron and Jimmy Jones in Harlem, New York. The group was originally composed of Cam'ron, Jim Jones and Freekey Zekey, all of whom grew up together in Harlem. In 1999, fellow Harlem-based rapper Juelz Santana joined the group.

In 2001, following Cam'ron's signing, the group secured a recording contract with Roc-A-Fella Records. It subsequently began recording its debut album, Diplomatic Immunity, and released it on the aforementioned labels in March 2003. Following tensions and controversy between Cam'ron and Jay-Z, the group subsequently severed ties with Roc-A-Fella and signed with indie record label Koch Records. The group released its second album Diplomatic Immunity 2, in November 2004 on Koch. After a hiatus because of artistic differences, in 2010 the original members began recording music together again and announced a reunion album. In February 2011, it was announced that the group had signed with Interscope Records. However, in May 2013, Freekey Zekey revealed it no longer recorded for Interscope.

In late 2018, they released their first official album in 14 years, Diplomatic Ties, under Empire Distribution. In 2021, they participated in a Verzuz-related battle with The Lox.

Career beginnings and success (2000–2006)
The first commercial appearance of the group was on Cam'ron's 2000 album S.D.E., released on Epic Records. Cam'ron eventually demanded a release from Epic, and signed with Roc-A-Fella Records, then owned by his childhood friend Damon Dash. Cam'ron released his third album, Come Home with Me through Roc-A-Fella. The album featured numerous guest appearances from Juelz Santana and Jim Jones. The lead singles were platinum hits "Oh Boy" and "Hey Ma", which both featured Santana. The album served as both an introduction to The Diplomats and a stepping stone for the rest of the group to be signed to Roc-A-Fella.

The Diplomats followed Cam'ron's solo album shortly after with their debut album Diplomatic Immunity released in 2003, which featured a remix of "Hey Ma", as well as the lead single, "Dipset Anthem", produced by Heatmakerz which peaked at #64 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The double-disc album was a success and quickly became certified gold by RIAA less than two months after its release. By the time of the release of their 2004 followup, Diplomatic Immunity 2, additional members Hell Rell, 40 Cal., and J. R. Writer had joined the group. Before long the Dipset empire was growing adding members such as: Jay Bezel, Un Kasa, the late Stack Bundles, Max B, comedian Katt Williams, and female first lady, Jha Jha. In 2006, Jim Jones created his own person skating team, called Dipskate.

Artistic disagreements (2007–2009)
In mid-2007, rumors began to circulate that the Diplomats had many rifts and disagreements with each other, specifically between Cam'ron and Jim Jones. When Jones and Juelz Santana appeared on stage at a concert with 50 Cent — with whom Cam'ron was engaged in a feud at the time — it seemed as if the group had split. However, in a later interview, 40 Cal. hinted that while the dynamic of the group is likely beyond repair, there may be further collaboration. Juelz Santana also spoke on a future collaboration, but stated that at the time, Cam'ron seemed to be the only obstacle, while also stating that though his contract was sold to Def Jam, he had no hard feelings towards his former boss.

In a September 2008 interview, Hell Rell stated that he no longer has a contractual obligation to Cam'ron or Jim Jones. Within the interview, Juelz also stated that he is still on speaking terms with the members of the group, and didn't feel that they were holding him back, but he did feel the "mainstream" wasn't crediting him as notably as he had hoped. In a later interview, he stated that he felt the other members of the group were not as focused as him, while also stating there was selfishness within the group. He also stated he wanted to focus more on his solo career.

Following this, almost all former members of The Diplomats formed their own groups. In 2007, 40 Cal. started "Skeme Team", while Freekey Zekey formed the "730 Dips", and started a record label of the same name, "730 Dips Records", while also joining fellow Diplomats' member Jim Jones' new group, "ByrdGang".

Diplomats reunion & demise (2010–2015)
In April 2010, Cam'ron and Jim Jones officially announced the end of their feud. In June 2010, the Dipset reunion began with a teaser titled "Under Construction" and a street single, "Salute", produced by AraabMuzik being released. The song features Jim Jones, Cam'ron and Juelz Santana. The remix features new Diplomat artist Vado with a verse added. In October 2010, after an interview at The Source Magazine Headquarters where Freekey Zekey insinuated that a Dipset deal with Interscope Records was possible by pointing to a magazine cover with Dr. Dre's picture (in addition to the revelation that the group has actually recorded with Dre), Freekey confirmed that the group would be signing a deal with the label: "The papers are not actually signed right now, but you could basically say it's going down," said Freekey in an interview with TheQuestion.com, when asked about the possibility of a deal with Interscope.

In February 2011, it was reported The Diplomats had signed a record deal with Interscope Records. They also revealed plans for a reunion album to be released under the label.

In January 2013, Juelz Santana indicated that the album was still coming. He would later also promise a new Diplomats single to be released "soon". The group hosted a reunion concert in New York on March 25, 2013, to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Diplomatic Immunity's release. Waka Flocka Flame would also perform at the concert. In May 2013, Freekey Zekey revealed that the group was no longer signed to Interscope Records.

On March 18, 2014, J.R. Writer began his prison sentence at Ulster Correctional Facility, in New York. On May 15, 2014, the original members of The Diplomats reunited for a brand new single produced by Just Blaze and entitled "Dipshits". On May 30, 2014, J.R. Writer released a recorded phone call from the Ulster Correctional Facility, in which he is freestyling and dissing his former label-head Cam'ron, as well as Jim Jones and Dame Dash. This was theoretically in response to Cam'ron's "Dipshits" video, which had additional vocals from Dame Dash and DJ A-Trak.

On January 1, 2015, well known DJ Funkmaster Flex announced via his Instagram that he had spoken to fellow Diplomat members Cam'ron, Jim Jones & Juelz Santana about an upcoming Diplomat's mixtape which included fellow member Freekey Zeekey. He also confirmed that he would be hosting the mixtape along with DJ's/Producers DJ Khaled, Swizz Beatz & DJ Mustard. The following week, Cam'ron, Jim Jones, Juelz Santana, and Freekey Zekey released a new track called "Have My Money". The track was released on Funkmaster Flex's show, on Hot 97.

Second reunion & upcoming projects (2017–present)
On November 15, 2017, Jim Jones announced on his Instagram that a new Diplomats single was to be released that night, titled "Once Upon a Time", and featuring him and Cam'ron. On November 22, 2017, The Diplomats revealed on MTV's TRL that they would be releasing an EP along with a documentary in the near future. Later that night, the group performed a one night only reunion concert at the Manhattan Center, where they were joined by fellow New York group ASAP Mob.

In March 2018, Juelz Santana surrendered himself to police after fleeing a Newark Liberty International Airport when a loaded .38-caliber handgun was found in his bag. Cam'ron said on his Instagram that he, Jim Jones and Freekey Zeekey would continue touring while Santana was incarcerated, but also claimed Santana would be "home soon".

During the summer of 2018, The Diplomats went on a U.S. national tour entitled Dipset Forever. On October 8, 2018, Jim Jones confirmed Dipset would be releasing a new album titled Diplomatic Ties on November 22, 2018 (Thanksgiving Day) followed by a performance at the Apollo Theatre in Harlem, NY the next day.

Brigitte Fassbaender

Brigitte Fassbaender (born 3 July 1939), is a German mezzo-soprano opera singer and a stage director. From 1999 to 2012 she was intendant (managing director) of the Tyrolean State Theatre in Innsbruck, Austria. She holds the title Kammersängerin from the Bavarian State Opera in Munich and the Vienna Staatsoper.

Career
Fassbaender was born in Berlin, the daughter of screen actress Sabine Peters and baritone Willi Domgraf-Fassbaender. The family settled in Nuremberg after World War II. She spent her early career in Munich.

Fassbaender studied singing with her father, at the Nuremberg Conservatory. She joined the Bavarian State Opera in 1961, where her first leading role was Nicklausse in The Tales of Hoffmann. Fassbaender appeared as Octavian, the title role of Der Rosenkavalier by Richard Strauss, in Munich in 1967, the role that launched her international career. In 1971, she performed at Royal Opera, London and made her Metropolitan Opera debut in 1974. Fassbaender's first love was not music, but theatre. "I was obsessed by the theatre and wanted to be an actress like my mother."

In addition to her operatic work, Fassbaender has performed in the concert hall as a Lieder singer and in films, singing the role of Prince Orlofsky in the 1984 film production of Die Fledermaus by Johann Strauss. Her recordings range from operas, vocal works with orchestra, to Lieder, including Schubert's Winterreise and Schwanengesang, oratorios such as Bach's Christmas Oratorio and Handel's Messiah, and also speaking roles after her retirement from singing. She has appeared in numerous televised opera productions now available on DVD, such as her signature roles Octavian and Orlofsky, both conducted by her frequent collaborator Carlos Kleiber.

Fassbaender has also taught masterclasses. In 2010, she wrote the book and texts for two successful musicals - Lulu - das Musical and Shylock!, based on Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice. Both were a collaboration with the composer Stephan Kanyar and written for the Tiroler Landestheater in Innsbruck. In recent years, Fassbaender has worked in arts administration. She was the Opera director at the Staatstheater Braunschweig for two years from 1995 to 1997. In 1999, she became intendant (managing director) of the Tiroler Landestheater (Tyrolean State Theatre) in Innsbruck, a position she held until 2012. More recently, she has been director of the annual Richard Strauss Festival in Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

In 2006, she was awarded the Musikpreis der Landeshauptstadt München. In January 2011, the French Government appointed her an honorary Chevalier of the Légion d'honneur.
