KRU

KRU is a Malaysian pop boy band formed in 1992. The group comprises three brothers, namely Datuk Norman Abdul Halim, Datuk Yusry Abdul Halim and Edry Abdul Halim'. Apart from revolutionising the Malaysian music scene with their blend of pop, R&B and hip hop, Dato' Norman Abdul Halim heads a successful business empire, KRU Studios, with Dato' Yusry Abdul Halim specialising in film, media content and live events, whilst Edry Abdul Halim is a successful composer/producer.

On 18 April 2018, the group announced that they would disband after 25 years being together after their last concert, Konsert Gergasi KRU 25, held from 4 to 6 May. In addition to the band, the KRU group of companies include the vocational college KRU Academy, KRU Music, KRU Media, KRU Entertainment, KRU Singapore, Prodigi Lab, Hot Jam Cafe, Showbiz Productions, Kartun Studios, Music Unlimited, and United Studios.

Early history
Their interest in musicmaking was sparked when they were very young, when one of their aunts bought Norman a keyboard which also attracted his other brothers. They spent their teenage years in London where they were exposed to various genres of music, in contrast to the Malay music scene at that time which was dominated by classic rock and ballads.

They continued to write original songs and were unaware that one of Norman's college friends sent a demo to EMI. Calvin Wong, International Label Manager and now vice-president at Warner Music Asia Pacific, was very impressed by the song and called the brothers to audition. KRU was formed on 19 May 1992. KRU (addressed by the initials K.R.U and not "kru") stands for Kumpulan Rap Utama or "Major Rap Group", but it is also the Malay word for "crew", borrowed from English.

Projects
In 1993, KRU started their ReKRUed Rap Tour, followed by the Awas Da' Concert tour two years later. In 1997, they released the album Viva Selangor as a tribute to Selangor F.C. and Everest for Everest project and commenced their KRU Mega Tour, sponsored by Peter Stuyvesant. The following year, their song "Never Let The Spirit Die" was used as the theme song for the 16th Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur; they also collaborated with Sharifah Aini, Zainal Abidin, Amy Search, Ning Baizura, Ella and Sheila Majid to create the soundtrack for Silat Lagenda. In 1999, the song "Fiesta" was made the official theme of the Tour De Langkawi and the group started their Jammin the Nation tour.

In 2000, they formed a virtual band named Tyco, whose members consisted of computer-generated alternate versions of themselves. On 26 October 2002, they kicked off their fifth major tour at Independence Square in Kuala Lumpur. In 2005, Artis Bersatu—made up of Anita Sarawak, Raihan, Ning Baizura, Misha Omar, and Erra Fazira—performed KRU's song "Suluhkan Sinar" in dedication to the victims of the 2004 tsunami.

In 2011, "Gemuruh Suara" was used for the Malaysian contingent participating in the 26th Southeast Asian Games and KRU re-produced "Di Manakan Ku Cari Ganti" by P. Ramlee as part of the Tribute to P. Ramlee Project. The Konsert Ulang Tahun Ke-20 started in 2012. "Kuasa Juara" was used at the 2015 Southeast Asian Games for the Malaysian contingent. KRU toured Singapore and Kuala Lumpur from 2016 to 2018 for Konsert 24 Tahun Gergasi, after which they disbanded.

They also diversified their ventures into producing large-scale and high budgeted films such as the Cicak Man series, Duyung, Magika and Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa.

Songs KRU has composed have been performed by a number of artists: Cyndi Wang, Az Yet and Jaclyn Victor, Caliph Buskers, Yuki Sharifah Aini, Anita Sarawak, Ezlynn, Alex To, Erra Fazira, Ella, Tiara Jacquelina, The Indigo, Anuar Zain, Zainal Abidin, Amy Mastura, Ning Baizura, Rabbani, Feminin, Imam Muda, Shahir, Elite, Adam AF2, Forteen, Adira, Mawi and Diana Danielle, Mawi and Akhil Hayy, Tomok, Syura, Sofaz, Indah and Ewal, Melly Goeslaw and Yusry, Slam, and Arip.

RAF Wroughton

RAF Wroughton is a former Royal Air Force airfield near Wroughton, in Wiltshire, England, about 4 mi south of Swindon. Ministry of Defence aviation activity ceased in 1972. The airfield now belongs to the Science Museum Group and is home to the National Collections Centre, which houses the group's large-object storage and library.

Early history
The airfield opened on 1 April 1940. It was used for the assembly and storage of aircraft during the Second World War.

The following units were here at some point:
 * No. 15 Maintenance Unit RAF
 * No. 41 Group Test Pilots Pool
 * No. 76 Maintenance Unit RAF
 * No. 88 Gliding School RAF
 * Maintenance Command Jet Training Flight

Control of RAF Wroughton was handed over to the Royal Navy and it became the Royal Naval Aircraft Yard Wroughton in 1972.

RAF Princess Alexandra Hospital
RAF Hospital Wroughton was part of the station and stood near the eastern boundary of the site, about 1+1/2 mi west of Chiseldon. The RAF General Hospital (as it was known) opened on 14 June 1941 and by the end of March 1944 its bed capacity was 1,000. Wroughton continued as a General Hospital treating military patients, and from 1958 took NHS cases as well to relieve backlogs in the Swindon area.

Following a visit to the hospital by Princess Alexandra on 4 July 1967, the Queen conferred the prefix "Princess Alexandra's" on the hospital on 4 October 1967. The hospital was the primary destination for returning casualties of the Falklands War in 1982. When the hostages from Beirut were released in August 1991, Wg Cdr Gordon Turnbull, a psychiatrist based at Wroughton, with his team, debriefed John McCarthy, Terry Waite and Jackie Mann and provided the counselling necessary to ease them back into freedom.

The hospital closed on 31 March 1996 as part of the Conservative Government's defence cuts at the end of the cold war. The hospital was demolished in 2004 and the site, called Alexandra Park, used for housing and a conference centre; a memorial commemorates the former hospital.

Science Museum at Wroughton
The large-object storage of the Science Museum has been at Wroughton since 1979.

Current use
In 2016 a 50 MW solar farm was completed on about 67 hectares of the airfield, with over 150,000 solar panels. This was a joint project of Public Power Solutions (a commercial arm of Swindon Borough Council) and the Science Museum Group.

From 2016 to 2019, the television series The Grand Tour operated their test track on the north end of the airfield, with the track encircling part of the Science Museum's storage facilities.

In 2010, Defence Estates stated that the Ministry of Defence still owned some 4.22 hectares of the site, where two linked hangar-type buildings were used by the Directorate of Naval Recruiting.

116th Street–Columbia University station

The 116th Street–Columbia University station is a local station on the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line of the New York City Subway. It is located at the intersection of Broadway and 116th Street in the Morningside Heights neighborhood of Manhattan, just outside the west gate to the main campus of Columbia University and the southeast corner of the Barnard College campus. The station is served by the 1 train at all times.

The 116th Street station was constructed for the Interborough Rapid Transit Company (IRT) as part of the city's first subway line, which was approved in 1900. Construction of the line segment that includes 116th Street began on June 18 of the same year. The station opened on October 27, 1904, as one of the original 28 stations of the New York City Subway. The station's platforms were lengthened in 1948 to accommodate ten-car trains, the station's median entrance was replaced in the 1960s, and the station was renovated in the 2000s.

The 116th Street station contains two side platforms and three tracks; the center track is not used in regular service. The station was built with tile and mosaic decorations. The mezzanine above the platforms contains exits to 116th Street and Broadway, and the northbound platform contains an additional exit to 115th Street. The original section of the station is a New York City designated landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Construction and opening
Planning for a subway line in New York City dates to 1864. However, development of what would become the city's first subway line did not start until 1894, when the New York State Legislature passed the Rapid Transit Act. The subway plans were drawn up by a team of engineers led by William Barclay Parsons, the Rapid Transit Commission's chief engineer. It called for a subway line from New York City Hall in lower Manhattan to the Upper West Side, where two branches would lead north into the Bronx. A plan was formally adopted in 1897, and all legal conflicts concerning the route alignment were resolved near the end of 1899.

The Rapid Transit Construction Company, organized by John B. McDonald and funded by August Belmont Jr., signed the initial Contract 1 with the Rapid Transit Commission in February 1900, under which it would construct the subway and maintain a 50-year operating lease from the opening of the line. In 1901, the firm of Heins & LaFarge was hired to design the underground stations. Belmont incorporated the Interborough Rapid Transit Company (IRT) in April 1902 to operate the subway.

The 116th Street station was constructed as part of the IRT's West Side Line (now the Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line) from 104th Street to 125th Street, for which construction began on June 18, 1900. The section of the West Side Line around this station was originally planned as a two-track line, but in early 1901, was changed to a three-track structure to permit train storage in the center track. Construction on the section between 104th Street and 125th Street had already begun prior to the design change, requiring that a portion of the work be undone. A third track was added directly north of 96th Street, immediately east of the originally planned two tracks. By late 1903, the subway was nearly complete, but the IRT Powerhouse and the system's electrical substations were still under construction, delaying the system's opening. As late as October 26, 1904, the day before the subway was scheduled to open, the walls and ceilings were incomplete.

The 116th Street station opened on October 27, 1904, as one of the original 28 stations of the New York City Subway from City Hall to 145th Street on the West Side Branch. The opening of the first subway line, and particularly the 116th Street station, helped contribute to the development of Morningside Heights and Harlem.

20th century
After the first subway line was completed in 1908, the station was served by West Side local and express trains. Express trains began at South Ferry in Manhattan or Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, and ended at 242nd Street in the Bronx. Local trains ran from City Hall to 242nd Street during rush hours, continuing south from City Hall to South Ferry at other times. In 1918, the Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line opened south of Times Square–42nd Street, and the original line was divided into an H-shaped system. The original subway north of Times Square thus became part of the Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line. Local trains were sent to South Ferry, while express trains used the new Clark Street Tunnel to Brooklyn.

To address overcrowding, in 1909, the New York Public Service Commission proposed lengthening the platforms at stations along the original IRT subway. As part of a modification to the IRT's construction contracts made on January 18, 1910, the company was to lengthen station platforms to accommodate ten-car express and six-car local trains. In addition to $1.5 million (equivalent to $ million in ) spent on platform lengthening, $500,000 (equivalent to $ million in ) was spent on building additional entrances and exits. It was anticipated that these improvements would increase capacity by 25 percent. The northbound platform at the 116th Street station was extended 130 ft to the south, while the southbound platform was not lengthened. Six-car local trains began operating in October 1910, and ten-car express trains began running on the West Side Line on January 24, 1911. Subsequently, the station could accommodate six-car local trains, but ten-car trains could not open some of their doors. In conjunction with the platform lengthening, a new entrance was constructed to the northbound platform in 1912. An entrance kiosk for the new staircase was taken from the 23rd Street and Fourth Avenue station and was installed in July 1913.

The city government took over the IRT's operations on June 12, 1940. Platforms at IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line stations between 103rd Street and 238th Street, including those at 116th Street, were lengthened to 514 ft between 1946 and 1948, allowing full ten-car express trains to stop at these stations. A contract for the platform extensions at 116th Street and eight other stations on the line was awarded to Spencer, White & Prentis Inc. in October 1946, with an estimated cost of $3.891 million. The platform extensions at these stations were opened in stages. On April 6, 1948, the platform extension at 116th Street opened. Simultaneously, the IRT routes were given numbered designations with the introduction of "R-type" rolling stock, which contained rollsigns with numbered designations for each service. The route to 242nd Street became known as the 1. In 1959, all 1 trains became local.

Columbia University first requested the demolition of the station's original entrance in Broadway's median in 1954, ahead of the Columbia University Bicentennial. The university brought up the issue again at a meeting of the New York City Board of Estimate in 1963, after a student was killed while crossing the street. The kiosk was seen as a safety hazard, with two deaths and several accidents occurring at the kiosk from 1962 to 1964. Sixty-eight hundred students and faculty members signed a petition to remove the kiosk in February 1964. On March 13, 1964, the New York City Board of Estimate voted to allocate $600,000 to demolish the entrance and replace it with two new sidewalk entrances as part of the 1964–1965 City budget. The New York City Department of Highways had requested that funds be allocated to this project at the request of Columbia University. The New York City Transit Authority had not yet drawn up plans for the project. Bids for the kiosk's demolition were initially scheduled to be solicited in July 1964. That October, a NYCTA spokesperson announced that the demolition of the entrance would be delayed until the following spring. Work on the project had been expected to commence in December 1964. The NYCTA was expected to complete the design of the project in early 1965, after which the project could be put out for bids.

On November 2, 1966, the New York City Planning Commission voted to grant an additional $300,000 for the project after the cost of the project was revised. The money for the project was reallocated within the Highway Department's budget. It was estimated that following necessary approvals from the New York City Board of Estimate, bids on the project would be let on December 16, and work on the project would begin by the end of January 1967. Work on the project was set to be done in 22 months. In 1965, Columbia University and Barnard College had announced that they would each spend $5,000 to decorate the new entrances to fit in with their campuses. Work on the project was completed in 1968.

In 1979, the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the space within the boundaries of the original station, excluding expansions made after 1904, as a city landmark. The station was designated along with eleven others on the original IRT. In April 1988, the NYCTA unveiled plans to speed up service on the Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line through the implementation of a skip-stop service: the 9 train. When skip-stop service began on August 21, 1989, it was only implemented north of 137th Street–City College on weekdays, and 116th Street was served by both the 1 and the 9.

In October 1988, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) announced that the newsstand on the station's downtown platform would be removed as part of a citywide program to beautify stations and improve passenger flow. The agency began this program in late 1987. The owner of the newsstand was unsure of whether he would rebuild the stand as the cost of rebuilding it might have outweighed the benefits of reopening it. This newsstand was chosen for rebuilding as it was only 12 feet away from a staircase.

21st century
In June 2002, the MTA announced that ten subway stations citywide, including 103rd Street, 110th Street, 116th Street, 125th Street, and 231st Street on the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line, would receive renovations. As part of the project, fare control areas would be redesigned, flooring, and electrical and communication systems would be upgraded, and new lighting, public address systems and stairways would be installed. In addition, since 110th Street, 116th Street, and 125th Street had landmark status, historical elements would be replaced or restored, including wall tiles. At the ends of the station platforms at 103rd Street, 110th Street, and 116th Street, a small section of station wall, which would look identical to the existing station walls, would be added to provide space for scrubber rooms. Work on the ten citywide renovation projects was estimated to cost almost $146 million, and was scheduled to start later that year, and be completed in April 2004, in time for the 100th anniversary of the station's opening, and the 250th anniversary of Columbia University.

Columbia University contributed $1 million to the station renovation project after the MTA said it would have to put off the renovation projects in Manhattan due to funding issues. The university had also reached agreements to cover part of the costs of the station renovations at 103rd Street, 110th Street, and 125th Street. As a condition of the funding allocation for the station renovation, the university wanted work on the project to be expedited. Residents of Morningside Heights approved of the renovation plans, but were concerned that the expedited repairs would come at the cost of damaging the stations' historic elements. The MTA was expected to decide whether preservation or speed would be prioritized in the station renovation projects by the end of 2002.

At the 110th Street and 116th Street stations, local community activists opposed artwork that was planned to be commissioned through the MTA's Arts for Transit program. Though the proposed artwork was intended as a homage to the stations' history, the activists believed the art would damage the decorative tiling that dated from the stations' opening, and that the artwork would damage the landmark interiors of the stations. The MTA had planned to install a small bronze subway track and train to be inlaid within the station walls surrounded by sepia-toned photographs of the neighborhood at 116th Street. In December 2002, Manhattan Community Board 7 voted in favor of the plan to include artwork from the MTA's Arts for Transit program at the 103rd Street station, which was not landmarked. Community Board 7 voted against the plan to include new artwork at the landmarked 110th Street and 116th Street stations, and the MTA dropped plans for the artwork at these stations. The station renovation project at 116th Street began in January 2003. From May 31 to July 12, 2003, the uptown platforms at the 116th Street and 103rd Street stations were closed at all times for their renovations. The original interiors were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. Skip-stop service ended on May 27, 2005, as a result of a decrease in the number of riders who benefited.

Station layout

This station has two side platforms and three tracks, the center one being an unused express track. The station is served by the 1 at all times and is between 125th Street to the north and 110th Street to the south. The platforms were originally 350 ft long, like at other stations north of 96th Street,   but as a result of the 1948 platform extension, became 520 ft long. The platform extensions are at the southern ends of the original platforms.

Two staircases from each platform lead to a mezzanine above the platforms, which contains the fare control area. Outside fare control, the mezzanine connects to stairways on either side of Broadway.

The southbound platform contains an artwork by Michelle Greene, Railrider's Throne. The artwork, installed in 1991 as part of the MTA Arts for Transit program, was originally intended to be temporary. It consists of a large steel chair. Greene said she had created the artwork because she "wanted to create a whimsical environment that allows the commuter to feel special as opposed to alienated".

The southbound local track is technically known as BB1 while the northbound one is BB4; the BB designation is used for chaining purposes along the Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line from 96th Street to 242nd Street. Although it cannot be accessed at 116th Street–Columbia University, the center track is designated as M. These designations are rarely, if ever, used in ordinary conversation.

Design
As with other stations built as part of the original IRT, the station was constructed using a cut-and-cover method. The tunnel is covered by a U-shaped trough that contains utility pipes and wires. The bottom of this trough contains a foundation of concrete no less than 4 in thick. Each platform consists of 3 in concrete slabs, beneath which are drainage basins. The original platforms contain circular, cast-iron Doric-style columns spaced every 15 ft, while the platform extensions contain I-beam columns. Additional columns between the tracks, spaced every 5 ft, support the jack-arched concrete station roofs. There is a 1 in gap between the trough wall and the platform walls, which are made of 4 in-thick brick covered over by a tiled finish. The ceiling is about 8 ft above platform level in the southern part of the station, but is higher above the northern part, reaching 12 to 15 ft above the platform.

The walls along the platforms consist of a buff-colored brick wainscoting on the lowest part of the wall, and white glass tiles above. The platform walls are divided at 15 ft intervals by blue tile pilasters, or vertical bands. The pilasters are topped by alternating blue-and-cream faience plaques of the number "116" and the Columbia University seal; both of these motifs are surrounded by faience wreaths. The seal shows a seated woman with a book of knowledge in her hand and three children standing near her feet. A blue-and-green cornice, made of faience, runs atop the wall and around the mosaic tablets. Mosaic wall tablets with the name "Columbia University" are installed along the platform walls. The mosaic tiles at all original IRT stations were manufactured by the American Encaustic Tile Company, which subcontracted the installations at each station. The decorative work was performed by tile contractor John H. Parry and faience contractor Grueby Faience Company.

Entrances and exits
The station has four entrance/exit stairs that serve both platforms. One pair ascends to the northwest corner of Broadway and 116th Street, while the other pair goes to the northeast corner of the same intersection. There is also an exit-only staircase near the southern end of the northbound platform that leads to the east side of Broadway at 115th Street, outside the Alfred Lerner Hall.

There was a station house in the median of Broadway, just north of 116th Street, which was designed by Heins & LaFarge and dated to the station's opening in 1904. It was built as one of several station houses on the original IRT; similar station houses were built at Atlantic Avenue, Bowling Green, Mott Avenue, 72nd Street, and 103rd Street. The station house, which was identical to the one at 103rd Street, occupied an area of 50 by. The one-story station house contained exterior walls made of buff brick, with a foundation made of granite blocks. A limestone string course ran atop the exterior wall. At the corners of the station house were limestone quoins, which supported a copper-and-terracotta gable roof facing west and east. The ridge of the station house's roof was a skylight made of glass and metal. The doorways were centrally located on the north and south walls of the control house, topped by terracotta finials and a rounded gable. There were terracotta crosses on each rounded gable with the number "116" embossed onto them. Above the doorway was a pediment and an arched window made of glass and wrought iron. The control house was closed and demolished in 1968.

General partnership

A general partnership, the basic form of partnership under common law, is in most countries an association of persons or an unincorporated company with the following major features:

 * Must be created by agreement, proof of existence and estoppel.
 * Formed by two or more persons
 * The owners are jointly and severally liable for any legal actions and debts the company may face, unless otherwise provided by law or in the agreement.

It is a partnership in which partners share equally in both responsibility and liability.

Characteristics
Partnerships have certain default characteristics relating to both (a) the relationship between the individual partners and (b) the relationship between the partnership and the outside world. The former can generally be overridden by express agreement between the partners. Whilst the latter is in general hardly varied, a careful draft would oust certain kinds of third party liability. A clause can contain that only the negligent partners can be sued and it is the wrongdoers that pay damages to victims only.

Subject to contrary agreement, the assets of the business are owned on behalf of all partners, and they are each personally liable, jointly and severally, for business debts, taxes or tortious liability. For example, if a partnership defaults on a payment to a creditor, the partners' personal assets are subject to attachment and liquidation to pay the creditor.

By default, profits are shared in accordance with the proportion of capital contribution amongst the partners. However, a partnership agreement will almost invariably expressly provide for the manner in which profits and losses are to be shared in accordance with that proportion. Liability, on the other hand, will not be shared equally unless express provisions indicate such possibility.

Each general partner is deemed the agent of the partnership. Therefore, if that partner is apparently carrying on partnership business, all general partners can be held out as partners for his dealings with third persons.

By default a partnership will terminate upon the death, disability, or even withdrawal of any one partner. However, most partnership agreements provide that in these types of events, (1) the share of the departed partner usually remains in the partnership or is given to an identified successor, and (2) the partnership will be dissolved. It is important to exclude duration on fixed term so that dissolution by notice and s.27 of the Partnership Act never apply.

By default, each general partner has an equal right to participate in the management and control of the business. Disagreements in the ordinary course of partnership business are decided by a majority of the partners, and disagreements of extraordinary matters and amendments to the partnership agreement require the consent of all partners. However, in a partnership of any size the partnership agreement will provide for certain electees to manage the partnership along the lines of a company board.

Unless otherwise provided in the partnership agreement, no one can become a member of the partnership without the consent of all partners, though a partner may assign his share of the profits and losses and right to receive distributions ("transferable interest"). A partner's judgment creditor may obtain an order charging the partner's "transferable interest" to satisfy a judgment.

Separate legal personality
While France, Luxembourg, Norway, the Czech Republic and Sweden also grant some degree of legal personality to business partnerships, other countries such as Belgium, Germany, Italy, Switzerland and Poland do not allow partnerships to acquire a separate legal personality, but permit partnerships the rights to sue and be sued, to hold property, and to postpone a creditor's lawsuit against the partners until he or she has exhausted all remedies against the partnership assets.

In Bangladesh, the relevant law for regulating partnership is the Partnership Act 1932. A partnership is defined as the relation between persons who have agreed to share the profits of a business carried on by all or any of them acting for all. The law does not require written partnership agreement between the partners to form a partnership. A partnership does not also required to be registered, however an unregistered partnership has a number of limitation regarding enforcing its rights in any court. A partnership is considered as a separate legal identity (i.e. separate from its owners) in Bangladesh only if the partnership is registered. There must be a minimum of 2 partners and maximum of 20 partners.

In England and Wales, a partnership does not have separate legal personality. Although the English & Welsh Law Commission proposed to amend the law to create separate personality for all general partnerships, the British government decided not to implement the proposals relating to general partnerships. The Limited Liability Partnerships Act 2000 confers separate personality on limited liability partnerships—separating them almost entirely from general partnerships and limited partnerships, despite the naming similarities. In Scotland partnerships do have some degree of legal personality.

Japanese law provides for Civil Code partnerships (組合), which have no legal personality, and Commercial Code partnership corporations (持分会社), which have full corporate personhood but otherwise function similarly to partnerships.

In December 2002 the Netherlands proposed to replace their general partnership, which does not have legal personality, with a public partnership which allows the partners to opt for legal personality.

In the United States, section 201 of the Revised Uniform Partnership Act (RUPA) of 1997 provides that "A partnership is an entity distinct from its partners." This is one of the more significant departures of RUPA from the 1917 Uniform Partnership Act, which does not recognize separate legal personality for partnerships; however, the degree to which this theory was actually respected varied by jurisdiction and over time.

The two main consequences of allowing separate personality are that one partnership will be able to become a partner in another partnership in the same way that a registered company can, and a partnership will not be bound by the doctrine of ultra vires but will have unlimited legal capacity like any other natural person.

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Diamond

Diamond
Partial self-nomination. This article spectacularly failed an earlier nomination (archived) about six weeks ago. Since then, I and others (notably User:Hadal and User:Jasper) have tirelessly whipped this article and its sub-articles into shape. This includes a massive, total rewrite of the article as well as the creation of eight sub-articles, two sub-lists, and filling in of numerous red links on everything from Gemological Institute of America to Argyle diamond mine. In my truly humble opinion, this article is a great overview of the topic, discusses all important topics while leaving details and minutiae to the sub-articles, and is interesting, well written and well organized. In short, I believe this article does its topic justice. I'm quite proud of it. Thank you in advance for your comments. - Bryan is Bantman 01:33, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * Definite support. I've been watching this one improve and waiting for its nomination here. Great work. - Taxman 02:22, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: Shouldn't the sections on "Diamond cut" and "Diamond cutting" be merged or at least be placed closer together? Also, isn't there some sort of standard infobox for gemstones? Mgm|(talk) 07:42, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * "Diamond cutting" is a subsection (TOC 2.4.3) of the "Diamond cut" section (TOC 2.4). The infobox is not exactly standard (only on about 10% of the articles in the gemstones category ), but is located in the subarticle material properties of diamond. - Bryan is Bantman 16:24, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)

 * Support. Comments: it seems the intro is a bit over-long and could use some clipping; at least two users (including me) had a difficult time finding the properties - the subpage link is there but easy to miss - maybe somehow make that more prominent. I've tweaked the Natural history section a bit and will probably do a bit more - see some possible fixes that need checking (nothing glaringly major - my interests are from the mineralogy/geology end). Over all a very good article and obviously the result of a lot of work. -Vsmith 04:18, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Some fool (OK, I'm pretty sure it was me) forgot to indent the Main article: material properties of diamond line; I've fixed it so it should be easier to see now. (I should point out that that article, along with three other sub-articles - diamond cut, diamond simulants, and diamond enhancement, are perhaps FA quality themselves.) Re: the intro, it was certainly a struggle to get it as short as it is now; what do you think we can trim out of it?  I tried to touch on each of the most major points, and I don't think it's overly long given the length of the article.  Any help on the natural history section would be great; thanks for the changes you've made already. - Bryan is Bantman 17:13, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)

 * Comment: It would be nice with an image of an uncut diamond. Thue | talk 10:40, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Ask and you shall receive. :) Granted, it's not the best image, but it's the only sizable PD example I could find. (It's incredibly difficult to procure a rough diamond that's above a few millimetres in size.) -- Hadal 13:46, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Great picture - and a great addition to the article! Vsmith 15:38, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Nice image; thanks :). Thue | talk 16:25, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Support Holy cow. I would recommend though moving the natural history section to after the material propeties but before all the gemological/industry stuff. Fawcett5 13:33, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree w/ Fawcett5. It would make the article flow better. Although I prefer my cows w/out holes :-) Vsmith 15:38, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Done. (No cows were harmed in the editing of this article.) - Bryan is Bantman 17:18, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * You didn't even have one tasty burger or steak in the whole time you've been working on this article? - Taxman 14:52, Apr 18, 2005 (UTC)

 * Support The article is comprehensive and well-organized and has spawned many high-quality subarticles as it has avoided becoming too long. Vengeful Cynic 20:52, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Surport tooto 00:11, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Object until inline external links are removed or cited at bottom, rather than in the text. Neutralitytalk 18:49, Apr 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Done: inline external links are now also cited at bottom. - Bryan is Bantman 21:08, Apr 17, 2005 (UTC)

Southern Man (song)

"Southern Man" is a song by Canadian-American singer-songwriter Neil Young, from his album After the Gold Rush, released in 1970. An extended live version can be heard on the Crosby Stills Nash & Young album 4 Way Street.

Description
The lyrics of "Southern Man" describe the racism towards blacks in the American South. In the song, Young tells the story of a white man (symbolically the entire white South) and how he mistreated his slaves. Young pleadingly asks when the South will make amends for the fortunes built through slavery when he sings:

 * I saw cotton and I saw black,
 * tall white mansions and little shacks.
 * ''Southern Man, when will you pay them back?

The song also mentions the practice of cross burning referencing the Ku Klux Klan.

Young was very sensitive about the song's message of anti-racism and anti-violence. During his 1973 tour, he canceled a show in Oakland, California because a fan was beaten and removed from the stage by a guard while the song was played.

Response
Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd wrote their song "Sweet Home Alabama" in response to "Southern Man" and "Alabama" from Young's 1972 album Harvest. Young has said that he is a fan of both "Sweet Home Alabama" and Ronnie Van Zant, the lead vocalist for Lynyrd Skynyrd. "They play like they mean it," Young said in 1976. "I'm proud to have my name in a song like theirs." Young has also been known to play "Sweet Home Alabama" in concert occasionally. To demonstrate this camaraderie, Van Zant frequently wore a Neil Young Tonight's the Night T-shirt while performing "Sweet Home Alabama". Crazy Horse bassist Billy Talbot can often be seen reciprocating by wearing a Jack Daniel's-styled Lynyrd Skynyrd T-shirt (including at the Live Rust concert).

In his book Waging Heavy Peace: A Hippie Dream, Young stated that Lynyrd Skynyrd wrote "Sweet Home Alabama" not in response to "Southern Man", but rather to Young's song "Alabama". Young noted that Lynyrd Skynyrd's implied criticism was deserved because Young's lyrics on "Alabama" were condescending and accusatory.

Other versions

 * Merry Clayton's version of the song appeared on her self-titled 1971 album. She later performed backing vocals on "Sweet Home Alabama", after some personal conflict.
 * Sylvester and the Hot Band released a funk version of the song as their debut single, from their 1973 self-titled debut album.
 * David Allan Coe covered the song on his 1985 album Unchained.
 * The Dave Clark Five's version was released in 1971 as a single. It also appeared on their Dave Clark & Friends album.
 * Morse Portnoy George included this song in a medley with "The Needle and the Damage Done" and "Cinnamon Girl" on their album Cover 2 Cover.

Satanic churches are not funny
Hello Fonzie Fan, please feel free to play around in the sandbox. Something like your former account McDonoaldsisHiring,ApplyToday! is quite fun. BUT, TheDemonicDisciplesOfDebuque and TheSatanicChorusOfChicago are NOT FUNNY AT ALL. They could be religiously insulting to many. Please avoid joking around with religion, homosexuality, race, and other issues which have recently stirred up much controversy.

Hi, Fonzie Fan. Sorry for eavesdropping. It is OK for a user to have more than one account, although it does tend to be discourged. The important thing is that your multiple accounts are never used for deception, such as voting in a poll, etc. Please see Sock puppet for more details. :) Func( t, c, e, ) 19:38, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

I am blocked (I think)
Hi, Fonzie Fan. In the above paragraph, when I was "eavesdropping", I was actually directly responding to a question you had asked over at Stevey7788's talk page:

 * I also note that [Dr. Zoidburg] only allowed to come back on the condition that he makes a serious contribution. Im thinking that its only a matter of time before that condition is demanded of Fonzie Fan. Because of that, I should probably make a contribution outside the sandbox. What I have in mind is filling in some gaps on some of the music articles.(The album track list is what I particually have in mind.) Ill make a few sample pages, and then Id like your opinion.
 * Also-would it be violating sockpuppet rules being Fonzie Fan only in the sandbox and another name on the other pages?

In other words, I thought you wanted to create a new account for serious contributions, and to leave "Fonzie Fan" for sandbox editing, and I thought that sounded like a good idea. What you actually did was create another account just for editing the sandbox. Fonzie Fan, I really feel that you are beginning to push at the limits of the community's tolarance for your sandbox activities, and so it isn't surprising that some members of the community are going to push back.

If Zscout370 specifically wanted to block you, (er, the "Fonzie Fan" account), then you would not have been able to edit my talk page, but I think you should consider trying to make serious contributions to the project. I also think that you should definitely not create any more user accounts at this point, as some are seeing them as disruptive.

Basically, I personally don't see you as being disruptive, in fact, I have noticed you replacing the template-text and keeping the sandbox clear of profanity, and that is very much appreciated, but I really can't "go to bat" for you with other admins when you haven't shown substantial attempts to help us write our encyclopedia.

You might want to talk directly to Zscout370 about this on his talk page, (as "Fonzie Fan"). He is a really nice guy who is just looking out for Wikipedia's best interests.

Mindat.org

Mindat.org is a non-commercial interactive online database covering minerals around the world. Originally created by Jolyon Ralph as a private project in 1993, it was launched as a community-editable website in October 2000. it is operated by the Hudson Institute of Mineralogy.

History
Mindat was started in 1993 as a personal database project by Jolyon Ralph. He then developed further versions as a Microsoft Windows application before launching a community-editable database website on 10 October 2000.

After further development taking to the Internet stage, Mindat.org became an outreach program of the Hudson Institute of Mineralogy, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit educational foundation incorporated in the state of New York. To address the increasing open data needs from individual researchers and organizations, Mindat.org has started to build and maintain an open data API for data query and access, and the efforts have received support from the National Science Foundation.

Description
Mindat claims to be the largest mineral database and mineralogical reference website on the Internet. It is crowd-sourced and also expert-reviewed and curated for data quality. The database is used by professional mineralogists, geologists, and amateur mineral collectors alike, and is referenced in many publications.

The database covers a variety of topics: scientific articles, field trip reports, mining history, advice for collectors, book reviews, mineral entries, localities, and photographs. Much of the information is from published literature, but registered editors may add and revise information and references. Editors are vetted for their expertise, in order to ensure accuracy. References have to be provided in the proper format, and editors own the copyright of data that they have contributed. The data is organized into mineral and locality pages, with links that allow for easy navigation among the pages.

The pages about minerals include individual minerals and rocks. Naming conventions adhere to the various standards and definitions as published by the International Mineralogical Association, the British Geological Survey, and the Meteoritical Society.

It interfaces directly with the Mineral Evolution Database (MED), and is an important source for scientific research. Many studies have used Mindat for locality information when building knowledge about diversity and distribution of minerals.

, it included:
 * Around 300,000 mineral localities
 * Over 1.2m mineral-locality pairs
 * Nearly a million photographs
 * Information on Apollo lunar samples and meteorites

Recognition
Jolyon Ralph was awarded the Mineralogical Society of America's Distinguished Public Service Medal in 2011 for his work on Mindat.org.

Ammonium triiodide

Ammonium triiodide (NH4I3) is the salt of the ammonium cation with the triiodide anion.

Sometimes the name ammonium triiodide is mistakenly used to refer to a different compound, nitrogen triiodide (NI3), or more precisely, the slightly more stable ammine, NI3 · NH3.

Quote: " In phase three, the aliens start melting the ice caps causing sea levels to rise. (Of course, melting sea ice will not actually raise sea levels, a fact overlooked by the author.)" Just commented the bit in brackets out, because AFAIK this statement is at least questionable. Somebody knowing more about these things than I do needs to verify it - or falisfy. -- AlexR 01:16, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * It seems to be reasonably accurate -- according to the International Panel on Climate Change melting the ice-caps gets you a sea level rice of 0.5m. It's only if you melt the Antarctic Ice Sheet that you get a massive sea-level rise (up to 70m). --Ngb 10:22, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * The "Krakens" melt the Antarctic ice caps as well, it says so a few times throughout the book. edgeworth 10:00, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Note it's the Antartic Ice Sheet, not just the cap. --Ngb 18:27, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

"Never leave the water"
The article is inaccurate when it states that the aliens never leave the water- there are a number of scenes in which they raid the land, killing and capturing people, in vehicles.

Not necessarily. It is never made for certain the the intelligences themselves are in the sea tanks, as whenever one is destroyed nothing is left but a thin layer of slime. The possibility that these are merely synthetic forms isn't discounted in the book. Leave it in.--Planetary 21:12, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

"The novel is not explicit about whether the ice being melted is on water or on land"
There's a reference to glaciers in Greenland calving icebergs - doesn't that mean that the land ice is melting? Guyal of Sfere 07:01, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Different endings to the book
I've just finished reading an electronic Kindle version of this book, and was surprised to find that the ending is different to that of my Penguin classic paper book.

 * In the kindle version they are tracked down by Bocker via helicopter, and he explains a great deal of what has happened in the world while Mike & Phyllis have been isolated - even describing the Japanese ultrasonic device in some detail.
 * In the paperbook version they are instead approached by a neighbour in a rowing boat, who gives them a brief overview of what has happened in the world - excluding much of the detail and just mentioning that the Japanese have developed an ultrasonic device. He tells them that their names have been broadcast on radio, and that a "Council For Reconstruction" has been formed.

The Penguin ending is slightly less ambiguous than the e-book, in that it implies humanity is already attempting recovery.

Anyhoo, I'm wondering if this is worthy of inclusion at all - it's quite a large change, although as it's the last chapter it doesn't really affect the plot in any way. The plot section at the moment is thin enough that it could have come from either version of the book. Chaheel Riens (talk) 16:24, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

 * As nobody has commented either way, I'm going to add this to the article. Chaheel Riens (talk) 15:45, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

Connie Schultz

Connie Schultz (born July 21, 1957) is an American writer, journalist, and educator. Schultz has been a columnist for several publications. After several years as a freelance writer, Schultz became a columnist at Cleveland's daily newspaper, The Plain Dealer, a role she held from 1993 to 2011, winning the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for Commentary for "her pungent columns that provided a voice for the underdog and underprivileged". She also wrote for USA Today and had a syndicated column for Creators Syndicate.

Schultz is also a journalism professor. After several years at Kent State University, her alma mater, Schultz now teaches journalism at Denison University.

Early life
Connie Schultz was born to Alvina Jane (née BeBout) and Charles Craig Schultz. She is the oldest of four siblings. In 1975, Schultz graduated from Ashtabula High School. In 1979, Schultz received a B.A. in journalism and political science from Kent State University.

Career
Schultz started her career as a freelance writer (from 1978 to 1993) and then became a columnist for The Plain Dealer in 1993, a role she held until 2011.

Schultz is married to Sherrod Brown, Democratic U.S. Senator from Ohio.

Ye (Hebei)

Ye or Yecheng was an ancient Chinese city located in what is now Linzhang County, Handan, Hebei province and neighbouring Anyang, Henan province.

Ye was first built in the Spring and Autumn period by Duke Huan of Qi, and by the time of the Warring States period the city belonged to the state of Wei. During the Han dynasty, Ye was the seat of Wei Commandery and an important regional center. Following the collapse of Han rule, Ye served as the military headquarters of the warlords Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. Under the latter's rule, Ye transformed into a political and economic center of China and remained so during the Three Kingdoms period and the Northern dynasties.

History
In 204, Cao Cao wrestled the city of Ye from Yuan Shao's son Yuan Shang. As the preceding battle of Ye had destroyed the inner city, Cao Cao set about rebuilding the city in the mold of an imperial capital. He initiated a number of works in Ye, digging canals in and around the city to improve irrigation and drainage, building the Hall of Civil Splendour (文昌殿) which was to become the centerpiece of Ye's palace complex, and erecting the Bronze Bird Terrace in 210 that became much-celebrated in Chinese poetry. Cao Cao's impact on Ye was so extensive that he alone, more than any ruler of the city before and after, is associated with the city of Ye in the Chinese cultural memory.

During the Sixteen Kingdoms period, Ye was an important city for the Jie-led Later Zhao dynasty that unified most of northern China, later becoming its capital in 335 during the reign of Shi Hu. After Shi Hu's death, his adopted grandson, Ran Min, forcibly seized the city, where he founded the short-lived Ran Wei state in 350. The Xianbei-led Former Yan dynasty soon conquered Ran Wei in 352, and Ye became their capital from 357 up till its fall in 370.

In the 490s, Emperor Xiaowen of Northern Wei moved his capital from Pingcheng (平城, in modern Datong, Shanxi) to Luoyang. This move was not welcomed by all. Antagonism grew between Xiaowen and his sinicized court and those who preferred to cling to the traditional Tuoba tribal ways, and it only increased with further changes calling for the abandonment of Tuoba dress and names. Eventually, under the leadership of Gao Huan (a Chinese general who was Tuoba in his ways and "outlook" ), the sinicization-dissenting 'northern garrisons' mutinied and captured Luoyang in 534. "At three days' notice its inhabitants were required to accompany Gao Huan to his own base, the city of Ye...where he declared himself the first Eastern Wei emperor." "During most of the sixth century Ho-pei (Hebei) was the heart of an independent state with its capital at Yeh [Ye]...." It remained the capital of the Eastern Wei dynasty and the Northern Qi dynasty until 580. At that time Ye was being used by a resistance force led by Yuchi Jiong, which was defeated by Yang Jian, founder of the Sui dynasty, and the city was razed to the ground.

Some scholars, such as Ku Chi-kuang reported that the Hebei region continued to harbour separatist sympathies into the Tang dynasty. It was the region from which An Lushan launched his rebellion during the reign of the Tang Emperor Xuanzong. The city was razed after the rebellion's failure.

Extensive excavations of the city have been made in recent years, allowing Chinese historians to make detailed plans of the site. In 2012, archaeologists unearthed nearly 3,000 Buddha statues during a dig outside Ye. Most of the statues are made of white marble and limestone, and could date back to the Eastern Wei and Northern Qi dynasties (534–577 CE).

A community of merchant Sogdians resided in Northern Qi era Ye.

Dungun District

Dungun is a coastal district of the Malaysian state of Terengganu. Kuala Dungun is the capital of the district. Dungun is made up of eleven 'mukim', or subdistricts: Abang, Besol, Jengai, Jerangau, Kuala Dungun, Kuala Paka, Kumpal, Pasir Raja, Rasau, Sura, and Hulu Paka.

Dungun used to be an iron mining town in the 1940s. Iron ore was mined in a small town inland called Bukit Besi located to the west, while Dungun served as the port where the ore was transferred onto ships. Dungun and Bukit Besi were connected by a railway line that not only served the mining industry but also served as public transportation for inland villagers, the Dungun township and its businesses.

This "golden" era ended in the late 1970s and early 1980s. When the mines were gradually closed down, the rail service stopped and the company left the area. Bukit Besi is now a Government-financed plantation estate; the rolling hills and old British architecture are now long gone, replaced by Felda Estate housing and palm oil trees. Dungun is now just another town on the coast of Terengganu, sorely bereft of cultural activities, with no cinemas, and only comes alive every Thursday when the weekly night market opens up for business. It is well known as the biggest night market in Terengganu and features second-hand clothing (imported from Japan and the United States) and also food of all sorts. People from the outskirts flow into town for the cheap goods. The night market is situated right in the middle of town, taking over a portion of the old railway line.

Nowadays, it is not a busy small town anymore. There are still pockets of fishing and farming families and some people involved in small businesses, while a large part of the population are involved with the petroleum industry concentrated in another township to the south, Kerteh.

Etymology
Dungun named after the Dungun trees, type of mangrove tree (scientific name: Heritiera littorialis) which can be founded at the river bank. This species is commonly found in sandy coastal areas resembling mangrove swamps.

Late Middle Ages
The origin of the earliest settlement at the site of present-day Dungun is unclear. The first historical site was Kuala Dungun which located in Dungun district. This site was being under Majapahit reign documented by Prapanca (1365 AD) in his Nagarakertagama.

20th century–present
In recent years, Dungun has also developed as a tourist destination, known for its beautiful beaches, eco-tourism attractions, and cultural sites. Tourism has become an important economic driver alongside traditional industries.

Location
Dungun is located on the east coast of the Peninsular Malaysia, facing the South China Sea.

Dungun receives significant rainfall throughout the year, typical of a tropical climate. Annual precipitation averages around 3,000 to 4,000 mm. The wettest months generally occur from October to December, with occasional heavy downpours and thunderstorms.

Humidity levels in Dungun are consistently high, often exceeding 80% due to its coastal location and tropical climate. High humidity levels contribute to the feeling of warmth and can occasionally lead to discomfort, especially during rainy periods.

Dungun experiences two main seasons: a wet season and a relatively drier season. The wet season typically occurs from October to March, with frequent rainfall and occasional monsoon winds affecting the region. The drier season, from April to September, still sees some rainfall but generally less intense compared to the wet season.

Governance
Dungun is governed through a structured administrative framework that includes local councils, state representation, and federal representation. This governance structure aims to facilitate effective administration, promote development, and ensure the well-being of residents in Dungun within the broader context of Terengganu and Malaysia.

Pronunciation
In Middle Chinese, Ye (葉) was pronounced Sjep (IPA: ). As late as the 11th-century Guangyun Dictionary, it was a homophone of other characters that are pronounced shè in modern Mandarin and sip in modern Cantonese.

Distribution
As of 2008, Ye is the 43rd most common surname in Taipei Taiwan, with a population of 5.8 million. It is the 22nd most common surname in Taiwan as of 2005.

Origin
Ye means "leaf" in modern Chinese, but the name arose as a lineage name referring to the city of Ye (in modern Ye County, Henan) in the State of Chu during the Spring and Autumn period of ancient China.

According to Sima Qian's Records of the Grand Historian, Yuxiong, a descendant of the Yellow Emperor and his grandson Zhuanxu, was the teacher of King Wen of Zhou. After the Zhou overthrew the Shang dynasty, King Cheng of Zhou (reigned 1042-1021 BC) awarded Yuxiong's great-grandson Xiong Yi the fiefdom of Chu, which over the ensuing centuries developed into a major kingdom. King Zhuang of Chu (reigned 613-591 BC) was one of the Five Hegemons, the most powerful monarchs during the Spring and Autumn period.

In 506 BC the State of Wu invaded Chu with an army commanded by King Helü, Wu Zixu and Sun Tzu. Shen Yin Shu, a great-grandson of King Zhuang and the Chu field marshal, was killed in the aftermath of the Battle of Boju.

After the war King Zhao of Chu enfeoffed Shen Yin Shu's son Shen Zhuliang with the key frontier city of Ye, in gratitude for his father's sacrifice. Shen Zhuliang subsequently put down the rebellion of Sheng, Duke of Bai, in 478 BC and restored King Hui as ruler of Chu. King Hui then granted him the titles of prime minister, marshal, and Duke of Ye (葉公).

In Zhou dynasty China, noble families usually had two surnames: clan name (氏) and lineage name (姓). Shen Zhuliang, from a cadet branch of the ruling house of Chu, shared the lineage name of Mi (芈) of the Chu kings. He also inherited the clan name of Shen from his father, but his fame led some of his descendants to adopt Ye as their clan name. Later the distinction between the clan and lineage names was abolished, and Ye became the surname of Shen Zhuliang's descendants. Shen Zhuliang, now better known as Duke of Ye, is considered the founding ancestor of the Ye surname.

City ward, Sheffield

City ward — which includes the districts of Highfield, Kelham Island and the city centre — is one of the 28 electoral wards in City of Sheffield, England. It covers the central area of the city. The ward was created following the 2015 local government boundary review out of part of the old Central ward, which, with a population of 36,412, was the largest ward in the UK. City is one of the wards that make up the Sheffield Central constituency.

City Centre
Sheffield City Centre —often just referred to as town—is the area within roughly 3/4 mi of Sheffield Cathedral. It is encircled by the Inner Ring Road, a circular route started in the late 1960s and now completed in 2008. As well as the cathedral, notable buildings in the city centre include the Grade I listed Town Hall, the City Hall, and the Winter Garden. Several areas of the city centre have been designated as "quarters". Of these, the Devonshire Quarter and Cultural Industries Quarter are the best known.

Highfield
Highfield is the area immediately south of the city centre, between Sharrow to the west and Queens Road to the east. It includes Bramall Lane football stadium, home of Sheffield United F.C.

Kelham Island
Kelham Island is one of Sheffield's eleven designated quarters. Formerly an industrial area, the island itself was created by the building of a goit, or mill race, fed from the River Don to serve the water wheels powering the workshops of the areas' industrial heyday. The quarter was named after the island, however, the boundaries extend beyond the physical island created by the river and goit.

The Quarter is roughly diamond in shape, and is bordered by Shalesmoor and Gibraltar Street to the south-west; Corporation Street to the south-east; Mowbray Street, Harvest Lane and Neepsend Lane to the north-east, and Ball Street and Cornish Street to the north-west. The Cornish Place Works sit just outside this quarter, to the north-west. Green Lane and Alma Street form the main spine roads of the area. The Green Lane Works (Grade II* listed) and the Brooklyn Works (Grade II listed) are both important industrial heritage sites. A great deal of urban regeneration is evident in this area, as residential and social uses are mixed into this former industrial area.

The area is home to an industrial museum, the Kelham Island Museum, including the famous River Don Engine. The Chimney House for events and occasions and five pubs: the Kelham Island Tavern (twice CAMRA National Pub of the Year), the Fat Cat, The Wellington, the Ship Inn and The Milestone. It is also host to the Kelham Island Brewery (brewers of Pale Rider, amongst others). The Quarter housed one of Sheffield's last traditional hand-made scissor makers, Ernest Wright and Son Limited, until their relocation to premises closer to the city centre in 2011.
