Hell with the Lid Off

Hell With the Lid Off, released in 1990 (see 1990 in music), is the first album by MC 900 Ft. Jesus collaborating with DJ Zero (see MC 900 Ft. Jesus § Career).

Hell With the Lid Off was released on Nettwerk Records. It has a heaven-and-hell theme to it, and track titles repeatedly mention such topics as God, heaven, and angels. The songs themselves are often about mental illness, UFOs, voodoo, and violence; the comic delivery and tongue-in-cheek lyrics put this far outside the norm for a typical Nettwerk release. The album is sample-laden and has a hip hop feel to it, though it shares little with that genre either.

Talk:Daryn Kagan

Info
Is this the kind of information that we think is needed in an encyclopedia? The article reads like a fan bio. There doesn't seem to be a source for this material either. -Willmcw 19:14, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
 * A pet lover, Daryn had two three-legged cats, Tripod and I-Lean (the latter is now deceased.)

 * The statement that Kagan grew up in an oceanside community was deleted because "Beverly Hills is not on the ocean". - 1) High school in the United States starts when a person is 13 -15 years old. Kagan could have moved when she was at high school age. 2) Even in the late 1970s when Kagan went to high school, students could go to high schools that were not the school closest to where they lived. 3) Kagan said on the air she grew up by the ocean.

 * "Was graduated" is perfectly acceptable, if somewhat old fashioned, usage. Please check sources on language usage.

 * Asbl wants to call television show that starts at 7AM PST, 8AM MST, 9AM CST time a "late-morning show" because of the relative proportion of people living in the EST. This is not a neutral way of describing the time.

 * Asbl says that the word oceanside does not mean "by the ocean" as in an "oceanside community". This is splitting hairs.

 * "Oceanside" means that the town actually has a beach on the ocean. Unless other information is given as to where she grew up we must go with Beverly Hills. Beverly Hills is more than 5 miles away from the ocean, hence "by the ocean". We therefore cannot use "oceanside" to describe where she grew up.
 * Active voice (she graduated) is always preferable to passive voice (was graduated). The latter is certainly awkward in this case, as nobody graduated her, she graduated herself.
 * We'll add wording to say that it is late morning east coast time. --Asbl 03:29, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

 * As stated previously, Kagan has said she grew up in a house by the ocean. This is splitting hairs but the article now refers to her house rather than the community in which she grew up.

 * 9 AM is not late morning.

 * From the American Heritage Book of English Usage:
 * "The verb graduate has denoted the action of conferring an academic degree or diploma since at least 1421. Accordingly, the action of receiving a degree should be expressed in the passive, as in She was graduated from Yale in 1980. This use is still current if slightly old-fashioned, and 78 percent of the Usage Panel accepts it. In general usage, however, the old sense has largely yielded to the much more recent sense “to receive a degree” (first attested in 1807): She graduated from Yale in 1980. Eighty-nine percent of the Usage Panel accepts this use. It is handy because it ascribes the accomplishment to the student rather than to the institution, which is appropriate in discussions of individual students. When the institution’s responsibility is emphasized, however, you can still use the older sense. A sentence such as The university graduated more computer science majors in 1987 than in the entire previous decade stresses the university’s accomplishment, say, of its computer science program. On the other hand, the sentence More computer science majors graduated in 1987 than in the entire previous decade implies that the class of 1987 was in some way a remarkable group. The Usage Panel feels quite differently about the use of graduate to mean “to receive a degree from,” as in She graduated Yale in 1980. Seventy-seven percent object to this usage.

 * You must find out where this house is, because otherwise it does not make sense that her house is "by the ocean" yet she went to High School in Beverly Hills which is between 5 and 10 miles from the ocean.
 * Wikipedia is written in 2005, not in 1421. Lets keep up with the times and use the word "graduated" to mean "to receive a degree", rather than "the action of conferring an academic degree". --Asbl 17:46, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Again, Kagan said she gew up on the ocean. She said she had memories of playing with her brother in the sand by her house. The erroneous changes that eliminate reference to the ocean seem to indicate the author's belief that Kagan is delusional ot that Kagan is a liar. Also, again, Kagan could have moved by the time she was in high school or she could have had the option of going to a school that may not have been in her school district.

 * "Was graduated" or "graduated" are equally appropriate. I added the information to Kagan's bio so I am reverting to the original language.
 * Just because you "added the information to Kagan's Bio" does not mean you own the article. Be flexible.
 * If you want to add the "memories of playing with her brother in the sand by her house" find a way to add it to the article that makes sense. The current way you did it does not make sense. --Asbl 12:39, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

 * The language has been changed in a way that may be okay to both sides.

 * "Well behaved" need not be hyphenated. Check the article on hyphenation to see whether there is any case for hyphenating two adjectives.

 * My mistake - "best-behaved" is proper.

Unnamed critics of Kagan's Ned the Banker interview
I deleted this text: because we have no idea who these "critics" are. Is this from some forum? -Willmcw 22:44, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Critics of Kagan have said her CNN career nadir was when she interviewed Ron Michaelson, the actor who plays Ned the Banker in commercials run by loan company ditech.com.
 * Thanks for helping. I already reverted this twice today, an anon editor keeps re-inserting it and won't cite the source.  Only some vague reference to a subscription site. --rogerd 23:33, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Apparently it's from a forum. Unless we have notable critics saying this it has no place in the article. See reliable sources. -Willmcw 01:25, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
 * If you followed the television news business, you would find some of the best media criticism happens to be in a subscription web forum. The criticism is written by intelligent but non-"notable" persons. Your notion of encyclopedic purity is narrow and elitist for the year 2005. You are applying a Wikipedia guideline without discernment.
 * Also re-read the reliable sources. In bold it states that these are "guidelines", not policy. It is okay to use some judgement in applying these guidelines. If we were discussing opinions of, say, treatment of pancreatic cancer, the judgement of reliability of sources would (appropriately) be different.
 * We don't know if these critics are notable or not because we don't know who they are or even what they said. That means the assertion is also unverifiable. Criticial judgments like "nadir of her career" require attribution to a specific critic. Nobody here agrees with your introduction of this material. Please stop adding it. -Willmcw 18:14, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

 * You refer to "nobody here" like there is some authoritative group not wanting the Ned the Banker incident described. The "nobody" is actually you and the other editor. Stop bullying people by claiming false authority. Stop trying to enforce on others your personal guidelines, i.e., "judgments like "nadir of her career" require attribution to a specific critic". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.255.21.236 (talk • contribs) 15:57, December 11, 2005  (UTC)

 * The criticism of Kagan is not "gossip". The criticism took place in a context that you personally believe is unencyclopedic. Your view is just that - your view. This is a discussion of current popular culture. Sorry that attribution cannot hold up to your academic standards.  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.255.21.236 (talk • contribs) 15:57, December 11, 2005  (UTC)

 * The attribution certainly does not meet our standards. If you could copy the criticisms here verbatim, so that we can see them and evalute them, then we might be able to accept them. You haven't even given us the specific URL where it is located. We don't know the context, the wording, or the speakers. Also, you have grossly violated our policy aginst making multiple reverts, WP:3RR. Please stop or we'll have freeze the page preventing anyone from editing it. -Willmcw 20:59, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Please stop discussing "our standards" when they are your standards. Again, you are making up rules for extreme standards of attribution so you can enforce your own will. Instead of acting this way, try to come up with a compromise. As you will see, the language describing Kagan's Ned the Banker interview has been changed. Now, can you compromise or do you have to make more threats and take actions to harm other persons' reading of the page?
 * Thanks for working with us. As for the standards, they are Wikipedia's. cite your sources, verifiability, reliable sources. As for rules, one of our few hard-and-fast rules is no more than three reversions in a day. Regarding your current phrasing, it is better. However it more clearly highlights that these critics are just anonymous folks contributing to a forum. -Willmcw 22:29, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Willcmw, persons post to the tvspy.com forum with a username just as you post to Wikipedia. If tvspy.com posters are just anonymous folks contributing to a forum, then you are just an anonymous folk making your thoughts known on a forum. Kitty, if comments posted under a username to another Internet site are to be devalued, then comments made to Wikipedia posted under a username are also to be devalued. Kitty, if information is not to be considered verfiable because a person must pay to access it, then I hope you will clean up information in Wikipedia that come from journals that charge a hefty subscription fee. - It is a waste of time to deal with this Wikipedia hypocrisy. Dishonest, bullying editors are also not worth the time of day. Do whatever you want with the Ned the Banker. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.208.192.133 (talk • contribs) 09:18, December 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * The difference is that anyone can go to wikipedia to verify information. Not anyone can go to a subscription based service.  If we can't see it, then it isn't verifyable --rogerd 15:35, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Further, even if it were a free service forums are not reliable sources. Wikipedia editors are not supposed to express their opinions inside articles. Have you read the Wikipedia policies? -Willmcw 19:58, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Does user:69.208.192.133 have anything esle to say in favor of this material? I think that we've shown that it is not in accord with our policies on sources. -Willmcw 06:17, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Willmcw, you have shown the material is not in accord with your personal narrow interpretation of our guidelines and our policies. You have not, however, shown discernment. Nevertheless, Kitty, do what you want with the statement that posters on the news industry tvspy.com forum (whose archives can only be accessed be paying a fee) criticized CNN anchor Daryn Kagan for interviewing the actor who plays Ned the banker in the ditech.com commercial. As mentioned before, there probably are citations in Wikipedia that are only in expensive journals. If you want to follow the dictum, "If we can't see it, then it isn't verifiable", when you excise the Ned the Banker information  (which you will do), Kitty, think about beginning a project to excise any information that a person must pay a fee in order to see. If you want information cited from "notable" souces, start a similar project whose first task is to define "notable". Finally, if you excise the information because it is from a "forum", realize that Wikipedia may also be considered a "forum".  Good luck. - The other editors can have the final comments on this matter (as if they won't make them anyway). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.208.185.14 (talk • contribs) 08:33, December 16, 2005.

Protected
I protected the page to spur discussion. I also reverted the uncited information before doing so. Work it out. --Woohookitty(cat scratches) 23:07, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Are we any closer to agreement? --Woohookitty(cat scratches) 23:58, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I fear that if unprotected, the anonymous editor will come back and start entering his POV again. But then again, we can't protect it forever.  --rogerd 04:51, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Yep. I will unprotected. pray. :) --Woohookitty(cat scratches) 12:28, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

You can tell this piece had received some "extra-attention," wholly out of line with the worth of the subject. Shemp Howard, Jr. (talk) 16:35, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

CNN Kyra Phillips Microphone Conversation
See also: Kyra Phillips for a Wikipedia article that has this incident detailed.
 * 8/29/2006: from Scottymoze:  CNN today between 12:45pm and 1:00pm EST.  George W. Bush's Katrina anniversary speech live: the audio also had someone (sounding like Ms. Kagan ?) and Kyra Phillips having a side conversation, actually playing louder than Bush's speech.  There were a few remarks, one that stood out near the end was, "his wife is a control freak."  If this information belongs in this article (or some other article, ie: "news anchor mistakes") feel free to pass it along.  This is not meant to be vandalism or biased information.  If this is useless info, that is understood.  Thanks and sorry if this info doesn't belong here.  Feel free to remove if needed.  UPDATE:  see link to video transcript here: http://www.wonkette.com/politics/cnn/cnn-live-mic-snafu-the-video-197383.php

Kagan as a NASCAR "junkie"
In the U.S. News and World report internet site's blip on Kagan's web site, she implies that her Wikipedia profile said she was a NASCAR junkie. Kagan is mischaracterizing the Wikipedia description. The article said NASCAR was among her favorite sports, not that she was rabid about NASCAR. When she was on CNN, she stated she was a fan. She said she thought she was one of the few female urban NASCAR fans. Unfortunately, though, there is not a transcript to link to.

notability
This is a bio of a person who is not notable. It is written like a sad and bad PR piece. It needs to be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.9.250.102 (talk) 16:04, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

I agree the tone of the article could be improved. But I don't think notability is an issue. Kagan is a well known journalist. --89.180.107.205 (talk) 22:12, 27 October 2008 (UTC)Mark Jefferies.

Postmenopausal?
Am I missing something? Why is it important that she's postmenopausal? Chrissypan (talk) 13:05, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Probably vandalism. ·:· Will Beback  ·:· 00:40, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Issue is notablity. This BIO violates notablity! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.9.250.44 (talk) 22:52, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Superslick entry -- Was this "Puff Piece" written by her PR people
This is perhaps the skickest entry I've ever seen in Wiki. A better puff piece I've never read in my life. And there's so much of it? Other people's entries are ruthless edited down by the Nazis who style themselves "Wiki" editors. One wonders how this relatively insignificant person gets such a write up, referring to her father, mother, ethnic identity, her pets, etc. Where's her dating of Rush Limbaugh (who allegedly divorced his wife for this woman back in 2004)? This is a puff piece! Shemp Howard, Jr. (talk) 16:33, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Comic Media

Comic Media was a short-lived comic book company owned by Allen Hardy that existed in the 1950s. Its titles were mainly action-adventure, Western, and horror. Its most notable character was Johnny Dynamite, created by Pete Morisi. The main artist across its titles was Don Heck, who in 1955 would be recruited by Stan Lee to Atlas Comics; what would become Marvel Comics. Heck went on to be one of the architects of what became known as "The Marvel Age of Comics," along with Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, and Dick Ayers. While there Heck co-created Iron Man, Hawkeye, and Black Widow.

When Comic Media became defunct, the company sold its titles and characters to Charlton Comics. Charlton then continued Dynamite as Johnny Dynamite, with work by Morisi, who continued to work for the company for many years. Johnny Dynamite would later be purchased by Max Allan Collins and Terry Beatty and reprinted in their Ms. Tree title and a limited series they created.

Notable titles

 * 3D Funny Movies (1 issue, 1953) (humor)
 * All True Romance (20 issues, 1951–54) (romance) — acquired by Farrell Publications
 * Confessions of Love (2 issues, 1950) (romance)

Psyence Fiction

Psyence Fiction is the debut studio album by English electronic music act Unkle, released on 24 August 1998 by Mo' Wax. The album was produced by Unkle, at the time consisting of James Lavelle and DJ Shadow. The music on Psyence Fiction was primarily composed by DJ Shadow. Lavelle recruited numerous guest musicians to contribute to the album's recording.

Background and recording
Unkle started planning their debut album in 1995. A month of recording in Los Angeles produced 15 finished tracks, but apart from "Berry Meditation", which would be issued as a non-album single, Unkle founder James Lavelle scrapped the tracks, finding them unrepresentative of his vision for the project. In August 1996, Unkle, by now composed of Lavelle and DJ Shadow, began production on the material that would ultimately appear on Psyence Fiction. Inspired by The Verve's 1995 album A Northern Soul, Lavelle wished to move Unkle in a more song-oriented musical direction: "My frustration was that I didn't want to make weird instrumental hip hop records. We could've easily achieved that but I wanted songs. Listening to Richard Ashcroft was a revelation because I thought, 'If I could bring that ilk of singer in with what I was hearing from Shadow I'll crack it'." Unkle recorded "Lonely Soul", a collaboration with Verve lead singer Ashcroft, in September 1996.

In July 1997, Unkle worked on "Rabbit in Your Headlights" with Thom Yorke, who performed vocals on the song. It was originally intended as a collaboration with Yorke's band Radiohead, but Yorke saw the track as an opportunity "to do something completely different" from his band's music, according to Lavelle. In August, Alice Temple recorded vocals for "Bloodstain", and French musician Atlantique, a friend and early collaborator of Lavelle's, recorded vocals and music for "Chaos". The following month, Mark Hollis of Talk Talk contributed piano to "Chaos", while Wil Malone arranged and conducted strings for "Lonely Soul" and "Celestial Annihilation". Unkle recorded "Guns Blazing (Drums of Death Part 1)" in October with Kool G Rap, who was the only guest performer on Psyence Fiction selected by DJ Shadow rather than Lavelle. Badly Drawn Boy, whom Lavelle at one point considered recruiting as Unkle's lead singer on the album, recorded vocals for "Nursery Rhyme / Breather" in February 1998. In February and March, Unkle recorded "The Knock (Drums of Death Part 2)", with Mike D of the Beastie Boys performing vocals and Jason Newsted of Metallica playing bass guitar and theremin on the track.

The individual tracks on Psyence Fiction were recorded at different studios in California and London. Vocals were recorded at The Site in San Rafael, the Record Plant in Hollywood, and the London studios Strongroom and Milo, while strings were recorded at CTS in London. The tracks were likewise mixed at different studios, including the Record Plant, Strongroom, and the London facilities Metropolis, RAK, and Matrix.

Release
Psyence Fiction was widely anticipated by music journalists and audiences, particularly due to its high-profile cast of musical collaborators. Given DJ Shadow's prominent role in its production, it was viewed as a de facto follow-up to his debut album Endtroducing....., which had been released in 1996 to widespread acclaim. Psyence Fiction was released in the United Kingdom on 24 August 1998 by Lavelle's label Mo' Wax. It peaked at number four on the UK Albums Chart. In the United States, it was released by Mo' Wax and London Records on 29 September 1998, reaching number 107 on the Billboard 200 and topping the Heatseekers Albums chart. London Records executives were satisfied with the album's American sales, though DJ Shadow was disappointed by its Billboard 200 chart peak.

"Rabbit in Your Headlights" was issued as the first single from Psyence Fiction on 12 October 1998. "Be There", a remix of the instrumental track "Unreal" featuring newly recorded vocals by Ian Brown, was released as the album's second single on 8 February 1999, peaking at number eight on the UK Singles Chart. Too weary to commit to further touring, and with his partnership with Lavelle having grown strained, DJ Shadow left Unkle during the promotional cycle for the album.

Critical reception
Psyence Fiction was released to mixed reviews from critics, with many finding that the album had failed to live up to its hype. NME writer John Mulvey wrote that DJ Shadow's music "rarely gels with Lavelle's chosen singers or even comes to terms with the song (as opposed to groove) format of much of the material". Caroline Sullivan of The Guardian said that while the album successfully sustains its "foreboding" mood, "its strength is also its weakness: somewhere amid the sprawl of bad dreams it turns into nothing more than meandering tunes with spooky keyboards attached." The A.V. Club's Joshua Klein criticised Unkle's decision to eschew hip hop for a "more conventional alt-rock outline", concluding that "Psyence Fiction can be chalked up as an ambitious failure; its principals can put it on their résumés, but cultural historians needn't put in their books." Robert Christgau gave the album a one-star honourable mention rating, deeming it "not beautiful (or weird) enough for its own beats".

Among more positive reviews, Barry Walters of Spin found the music "chaotic but never overwhelming" and described Psyence Fiction as "the illest soundclash since the last time a b-boy crashed a George Romero film festival and refused to turn off his boom-box". Reviewing the record for Rolling Stone, Lorraine Ali called it "neither a lofty concept album nor the sonic equivalent of cinema", but concluded that "it is Shadow and Lavelle's striving for such greatness that makes Unkle a compelling work in progress." Entertainment Weekly critic David Browne wrote that the album's best songs "are like a soundtrack for a surreal, melancholy art film that exists in Shadow's and Lavelle's heads." Gareth Grundy of Select said that "Shadow's signature production provides Psyence Fiction with coherence", and that Unkle's vision is "thrillingly realised" throughout.

Legacy
In 2003, Lavelle stated that the hype surrounding Psyence Fiction had overshadowed its musical content, and that he felt it was released at a time "when people wanted [him] to fail." DJ Shadow said in 2010 that he viewed the album fondly despite finding it "somehow flawed."

In the years since the release of Psyence Fiction, "its stature has grown", according to The Age. AllMusic editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote that the album "gains momentum on repeated listens" due to "Shadow's imagination and unpredictable highlights", calling it "a superstar project that doesn't play it safe and actually has its share of rich, rewarding music." In a retrospective piece for The Vinyl Factory, Eliot Wilder expressed similar sentiments and noted that Psyence Fiction had "gained cult status for its chaotic collages and maverick collaborations", adding that "it feels today like the kind of crazy, alt-star-strewn mash fest that it is." Chris DeVille of Stereogum said that it foreshadowed music by "likeminded ecumenical collectives like Gorillaz and Handsome Boy Modeling School", and that "in terms of quality alone, it's worthy of remembering as one of the best albums of its era." Psyence Fiction was included in lists of the best trip hop albums by Fact (at number 45) and Slant Magazine (at number nine).

In June 2013, Mo' Wax launched a Kickstarter campaign titled "Urban Archaeology: 21 Years of Mo'Wax", part of which included a deluxe CD re-release of Psyence Fiction. As of late 2020, the Psyence Fiction album has not been released to the campaign's contributors.

Quotes
 "The continued existence of wildlife and wilderness is important to the quality of life of humans. Our challenge for the future is that we realize we are very much a part of the Earth's ecosystem, and we must learn to respect and live according to the basic biological laws of nature." — Jim Fowler

 "Almost all of the social tragedies occurring around the world today are caused by ignoring the basic biological laws of nature ... The quicker we humans learn that saving open space and wildlife is critical to our welfare and quality of life, maybe we'll start thinking of doing something about it." — Jim Fowler

Talk:Myall Lakes

Name?
Does anyone know how the Myall lakes got their name?

Yours curiously, Nigel Myall Casares, Spain

 * Look at Myall and follow it through to Acacia, kinds of trees in various places including Australia. This is just what I learned on Wikipedia, and may or may not be the origin of the name. Perhaps some Australians can assist in answering the question more exactly. --DThomsen8 (talk) 03:04, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

 * myall is an old-time Aboriginal word meaning "A stranger (among Australian Aborigines)" --- see http://www.allwords.com/word-myall.html.
 * From a hydrodynamic/ecological point of view, Myall Lake has many unusual (perhaps strange) features.
 * Myall Lakes has only a small catchment directly draining into it but is weakly coupled to the larger catchments draining into Bombah Broadwater and Boolambayte and is also weakly coupled to the ocean. Direct rainfall is similar to precipitation (annual average). So, Myall Lake might be considered the "ultimate backwater" --- being characterized by very stable physical conditions.
 * Myall Lake also differs from other NSW Lakes with respect to a bottom layer of gyttja,
 * The gyttja is associated with extensive meadows of charophytes (Chara fibrosa and Nitella hyalina) and Najas marina,
 * Water in Myall Lake has unusually low turbidity and this is related to the fact that charophytes are found over a large depth range
 * Also, the article wrongly states that Myall Lakes are "fresh". Myall Lakes are brackish
 * I hope this information is helpful, Brian Sanderson (talk) 21:16, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Career
Kelly joined Type O Negative in 1994 to replace Sal Abruscato. During an online interview, Kelly denied the oft claimed rumour he had previously been the band's drum tech. Kelly recorded the albums October Rust (1996), World Coming Down (1999), Life is Killing Me (2003), and Dead Again (2007) with the band, as well as the Black Sabbath cover "Paranoid" included as a bonus track on the reissue of the band's second album The Origin of the Feces (1994)

Kelly served as a fill-in drummer for heavy metal band Pist.On on an American tour while their drummer, Jeff McManus, dealt with chronic muscle pain.

On February 25, 2011, it was announced that Kelly would be replacing Will Hunt as the drummer for Black Label Society for the remainder of their European tour. He made his first live performance with the band that night at La Cigale in Paris, France.

On March 10, 2014, it was announced that Vinny Appice had left Kill Devil Hill, and that Kelly was his replacement.

On January 29, 2018, it was announced via the band's website that A Pale Horse Named Death had recruited Tommy Spano of Living Colour lead vocalist Corey Glover's solo band and Sekond Skyn as the new drummer, replacing Kelly. On April 5, 2018, it was announced that Kelly was once again the band's drummer, but since has been replaced again by Spano for the band's latest album Letting Go (2023).

Kelly has been the drummer for original Misfits vocalist Glenn Danzig's eponymous solo band Danzig since 2002 (with the exception of a hiatus from 2003 to 2005), and recorded drums for the band's ninth album Deth Red Sabaoth (2010), covers album Skeletons (2015), and two tracks on the album Black Laden Crown (2017).

Jörg Demus

Jörg Wolfgang Demus (2 December 1928 – 16 April 2019) was an Austrian classical pianist who appeared internationally and made many recordings. He was also a composer and a lecturer at music academies. In composition and playing, he focused on chamber music and lieder. He played with singers such as Elisabeth Schwarzkopf and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, as a piano duo with Paul Badura-Skoda, and with string players such as Josef Suk and Antonio Janigro. Demus was instrumental in bringing the historic fortepiano to concert podiums. He was a member of the Legion of Honour, among many awards. He is regarded as one of the leading Austrian pianists of the immediate post-World War II era.

Early life and education
Demus was born in St. Pölten; his father was the art historian Otto Demus, and his mother was a concert violinist. At the age of six, Demus received his first piano lessons. Five years later, at the age of 11, he entered the Vienna Academy of Music, studying piano, composition and conducting. He made his debut as a pianist when he was still a student: at the age of 15, he played in the Brahms-Saal of the prestigious Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde Bach's Das wohltemperierte Klavier. He graduated in 1945, then 17 years old, after which he continued to study conducting with Josef Krips and Hans Swarowsky. Demus studied in Paris with Yves Nat from 1951 to 1953. In 1953 he further studied interpretation with Wilhelm Kempff, Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, and Edwin Fischer, and attended master classes with Walter Gieseking.

Pianist
In 1951, Demus made his first tour to South America and then appeared internationally in concert halls. He appeared in England and France. In 1972 he toured Southern Africa in all the major cities. In 1974, Demus performed for the Peabody Mason Concert series in Boston.

Demus was active as a lied accompanist and a chamber music partner, appearing with singers such as Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Elly Ameling and Peter Schreier, and with string players such as Josef Suk and Antonio Janigro. He performed widely as a soloist on both modern and historical instruments, returning the fortepiano to concert podiums. Demus collaborated with Paul Badura-Skoda on the concert platform and on a book concerning the interpretation of Beethoven's piano sonatas.

His playing of Bach's works showed their structure as well as melodic lines. He favoured Schumann's music, revealing a high degree of playful levity besides romantic expressiveness. His playing of Debussy's music stands out in Klangsinn, a sense for a colourful impressionist sound world. He collected historic keyboard instruments and presented them to a museum. He lectured at the music academies of Vienna and Stuttgart.

Demus continued playing until shortly before his death, performing with Badura-Skoda at the 2018 Linz Brucknerfest. He died in Vienna on 16 April 2019, aged 90, after a short illness.

Composer
Demus was also a composer, chiefly of music for the piano, chamber music and lied, composing in a generally conservative style. Music for cello and piano takes its inspiration from the poems of Paul Verlaine and the late music by Schumann. He also completed a fragmentary Piano Piece in C minor D. 916c by Schubert.

Awards and prizes
In 1956 Demus won first prize at the Ferruccio Busoni International Piano Competition. Demus received the Mozart Medal of the Mozartgemeinde Wien in 1979. He was awarded the Österreichisches Ehrenkreuz in 2006, the Beethoven Ring of the Beethoven Society Vienna in 1977, the Robert Schumann Prize of the City of Zwickau and the Order of the Legion of Honour.

Recordings
Among the many recordings by Demus are sets of the complete piano works by both Robert Schumann and Claude Debussy. He also recorded Schubert's Impromptus on the Deutsche Grammophon label. He made recordings on historical keyboard instruments, including, for example, the earliest such recording of Beethoven's "Waldstein" sonata in 1970, on a Broadwood dating from 1802.

He recorded several of his own compositions with cellist Maria Kliegel, including Poetische Sonate (Poetic Sonata) in G minor, Op. 8, Liebe (Love), Op. 21, after Verlaine's Crimen Amoris, the Cello Sonata in C minor, "Il Tramonto", Op. 35, and Nacht der Sterne (Starry Night), Op. 14.

Italian Chapel

The Italian Chapel is a highly ornate Catholic chapel on Lamb Holm in the Orkney Islands, Scotland. It was built during World War II by Italian prisoners of war, who were housed on the previously uninhabited island while they constructed the Churchill Barriers to the east of Scapa Flow. Only the concrete foundations of the other buildings of the prisoner-of-war camp survive. The chapel was not completed until after the end of the war, and was restored in the 1960s and again in the 1990s. It is a popular tourist attraction, and a category A listed building.

It is in the Roman Catholic Parish of Our Lady & St Joseph in Orkney, part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Aberdeen. Mass is held in the chapel on the first Sunday of the summer months (April–September).

Construction
550 Italian prisoners of war, captured in North Africa during World War II, were brought to Orkney in 1942. They worked on the construction of the Churchill Barriers, four causeways created to block access to Scapa Flow. 200 were based at Camp 60 on Lamb Holm. In 1943, Major Thomas Pyres Buckland, Camp 60's new commandant, and Father Gioacchino Giacobazzi, the camp's Catholic priest, agreed that a place of worship was required.

The chapel was constructed from limited materials by the prisoners in the form of a tin tabernacle, and comprises two Nissen huts joined end-to-end. The corrugated interior was then covered with plasterboard and the altar and altar rail were constructed from concrete left over from work on the barriers. Most of the interior decoration was done by Domenico Chiocchetti, a prisoner from Moena. He painted the sanctuary end of the chapel and fellow-prisoners decorated the entire interior. They created a facade out of concrete, concealing the shape of the hut and making the building look like a church. The light holders were made out of corned beef tins. The baptismal font was made from the inside of a car exhaust covered in a layer of concrete.

When his fellow prisoners were released shortly before the end of the war, Chiocchetti remained on the island to finish decorating the newly consecrated chapel.

Preservation
In 1958, the Chapel Preservation Committee was set up by a group of Orcadians. In 1960, Chiocchetti returned to assist in the restoration. He returned again in 1964, with Mrs Maria Chiocchetti, but he was too ill to travel when some of the other prisoners returned in 1992 to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of their arrival on the island. He died in 1999. In 1996, a declaration was jointly signed by officials in Orkney and Chiocchetti's hometown of Moena, reinforcing the ties between the two places.

The chapel is still used for worship and remains a popular tourist attraction, receiving over 100,000 visitors every year. It has become one of the best-known symbols of reconciliation in the British Isles. Philip Paris wrote two books, one fiction and one non-fiction, about the building of the chapel. The novel The Chapel at the Edge of the World by Kirsten Mckenzie covers the chapel's building.

In 2014, a special Mass was held at the chapel to mark its 70th anniversary. During the Mass, Angela Chiocchetti, the daughter of Domenico Chiocchetti, sang Panis angelicus.

In 2015, professional art restorer Antonella Papa offered and had her services accepted to restore the chapel's frescoes, spending a month on the work. She continued this work with the help of local volunteers at the end of October 2017.

Delta Hotels

Delta Hotels by Marriott is a four-star brand of hotels and resorts located primarily in North America.

Beginnings
In June 1962, William Pattison and his business partners opened the 68-room Delport Inn in Richmond, BC. That September, Western Hotels changed the location name to the Vancouver Airport Inn, and assumed the management until January 1964. During 1965–1967, Delta Developments built four motels on Vancouver Island, and leased/purchased two further motels in the BC interior. Driver Developments, which bought Delta Developments in 1969, experienced serious financial difficulties from its diverse investment portfolio within months. In 1970, Delta Hotels Limited assumed the ownership and operation of the hotels/motels. By mid 1974, the chain had been pruned to four properties.

Beyond BC
In 1975, Delta entered the Toronto market. By 1980, the six BC properties matched the six out of province. By 1985, there were four in BC, four in Ontario, and five across four other provinces. The owners, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Great-West Lifeco, and Bill Pattison, sold the chain to the Realstar Group of Toronto in 1988. A decade later, Realstar, and partner Lai Sun Group, resold to Canadian Pacific Hotels (CP Hotels). During the 1990s, Delta operated a single U.S. hotel: the Delta Court of Flags Hotel in Orlando, Florida.

In 1999, after CP Hotels acquired the Fairmont brand, six CP properties rebranded to supplement the existing 24 Delta ones, and the Delta chain became a wholly-owned subsidiary of CP Hotel's two-thirds-owned Fairmont Hotels and Resorts. In terms of classification, Fairmont was four-star and Delta was a three-star. After British Columbia Investment Management Corporation (BCI) acquired Delta in 2007, the brand flourished, and by 2013 the portfolio comprised 40 properties, of which 31 were managed (10 having the real estate owned), and nine were franchised.

Takeover by Marriott
In 2015, Marriott International acquired the chain, making Marriott the largest full service hotel company in Canada. Augmenting the exclusively Canadian properties, two US ones were added in 2016. US properties now outnumber Canadian ones.

International expansion was first to Shanghai, then Frankfurt. Dubai, three for the United Kingdom, and Istanbul, followed. In August 2022, it was announced that 23 Marriott Hotels in the United Kingdom were to rebrand as Delta Hotels by Marriott. The rebrand is currently underway and is hoped that it will be completed in 2023, according to Business Traveller.

In 2016, Delta Privilege rewards extended to other Marriott locations, and Marriott cards extended to Delta locations. In 2019, Marriott Bonvoy replaced the various Marriott group rewards programs.

In August 2022, a Business Traveller article was written stating that 23 existing Marriott Hotels, including Country Clubs, were to be rebranded as Delta Hotels by Marriott - this means that very few properties will remain under the Marriott name.

Locations
Since 2015, each venue prefix has become Delta Hotels by Marriott.

He is known for his opposition to higher taxes and public spending. In 2014, Brinkman defeated incumbent Peter Stautberg in the Republican primary election to retake his former seat in the Ohio House of Representatives. He went on to win the general election with 67.78% of the vote.

Background
A resident of the Mount Lookout section of Cincinnati, Brinkman graduated from St. Xavier High School and received a B.A. (in history and political science) from George Washington University in 1979. In 1976, he worked for the Ronald Reagan campaign to win the Republican nomination for President, and for the Gerald Ford campaign following Ford's nomination at the Republican National Convention in Kansas City. While a student at GWU, he worked in the office of Senator Bob Dole of Kansas from 1977 to 1979. In 1980 he supported Congressman John B. Anderson's presidential bid, but switched his support to Reagan following the Republican National Convention. From his graduation to 1999, he was Midwest Sales Manager for the Metroweb printing company in Erlanger, Kentucky. From 2001, he has worked in the sales department of the Curry Printing Company of Evendale, Ohio.

He and his wife, Cathy, have six children: Will, Stephen, Daniel, Kelley, Kevin, and Michael.

Local politics
Brinkman worked for several Republicans' successful campaigns for Cincinnati City Council: Phil Heimlich, Steve Chabot, Charles Winburn, and Pat DeWine. He also worked for John Kruse's unsuccessful bid.

In 1999, he founded the Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST), which actively opposes tax levies in southwestern Ohio. Brinkman actively worked against many tax levies and bond issues. In his Congressional campaign he declared:

General Assembly
Brinkman defeated the candidate endorsed by the Republican party in the GOP primary in 2000 for the 37th District seat in the Ohio House, which was Anderson Township, the Hyde Park and Mount Lookout sections of Cincinnati, and the city of Norwood. A Brinkman supporter was upset by the party's endorsement process: "All we wanted was a free, open process of endorsement, and we didn't get that," said Christopher Finney. In the primary, Steve Adams, the endorsed candidate, received 9,344 votes and Brinkman 11,127. In the November general election, he faced Democrat Les Mann, a security guard at General Electric's aircraft engine plant in Evendale who previously had run for Congress against Rob Portman, and Natural Law candidate Jim Donaldson. The vote was 35,245 for Brinkman (66.7%), 2,029 for Donaldson (3.8%), and 15,531 for Mann (29.4%).

Brinkman ran for reelection in 2002 to what redistricting had made the 34th District, which included the Mount Washington, Hyde Park, and Mount Lookout sections of Cincinnati, part of Columbia Township, all of Anderson Township, and the municipalities of Fairfax, Newtown and Terrace Park. He faced no opposition in the May 7 primary and was opposed in the November 5 general election by Democrat David Schaff, a twenty-four-year-old assistant to Hamilton County commissioner Todd Portune. Schaff said his opponent was "someone who's spent more time saying what he's against than working for what he's for." Schaff was endorsed by The Cincinnati Post, which wrote "Tom Brinkman's opposition to almost everything undercuts his credibility, and does a disservice to both the district and the region. His reflexive opposition to much government spending, his willingness to tolerate a tattered social services safety net, his advocacy of an entirely unregulated concealed carry gun permit system, we submit, are out of step even with such a thoroughly Republican constituency."

That year Brinkman called on Republican voters to cast their ballots for Democrat Tim Hagan over Republican Governor Bob Taft in his reelection bid because of Taft's selection of Jennette Bradley as his running mate; many conservatives felt she was too liberal for the party. The Cincinnati Enquirer's Peter Bronson labeled Brinkman "Kamikaze Tom" for this action, but nevertheless, Brinkman was easily reelected over Schaff by a vote of 23,748 to 13,896.

His stands in Columbus
When University of Cincinnati law students in 2003 persuaded the General Assembly to ratify the Fourteenth Amendment, which a post-Civil War-era legislature had rejected, only one member voted against ratification: Brinkman. Brinkman told The Enquirer his vote was because of how the amendment has been misused: "It's misapplied constantly by the country to get states to do things they don't want to do. Most importantly to me, 45 million babies have been murdered since judges forced Roe v. Wade down the throats of citizens."

Following the repeal of Article XII of the Cincinnati city charter, which forbade the city from passing an ordinance protecting homosexuals from discrimination, the Cincinnati city council approved a hate crime ordinance that included sexual orientation. Brinkman said the ordinance "send[s] the message that you openly approve of homosexuality," citing the Catechism of the Catholic Church . Brinkman had previously served as treasurer of the committee which opposed repeal of Article XII.

Brinkman prided himself on his perfect attendance and for coming home to Cincinnati every night from Columbus, but when Columbus Monthly in late 2003 did a survey of legislators, lobbyists, and others working in the State House asking them to rate the members of the Ohio General Assembly, Brinkman was rated the single worst legislator in the 132-member General Assembly. The magazine said Brinkman was "an uncompromisingly principled man. But he's a terrible, terrible legislator." Those surveyed ranked him as least knowledgeable, least hardworking, least likeable, least compassionate, and least savvy. Brinkman, for his part, points to his principled stance on the issues as the reason lobbyists don't like him.

In 2007, Representative Brinkman was named the chairman of the House Commerce and Labor Committee. He is one of the cosponsors on the ‘both sides of the Holocaust’ bill, HB327.

2004 reelection
In 2004, he faced a challenger in the primary, attorney Greg Delev of Anderson Township. Brinkman told the Enquirer, "I ran for office when the party wanted to dictate who my state representative was going to be. I couldn't stand for that, so I ran, and I'm proud I did. It's been a frustrating three years as I've watched Governor Taft drive the state off a cliff. But I've been fighting back." Delev said he agreed with Brinkman on most of the issues, but that Brinkman's actions in Columbus had made the district "the laughingstock of the state." The Cincinnati Enquirer said both candidates were "rock-ribbed conservatives who agree on most fiscal and social issues," but endorsed Delev. "The issue here is Brinkman's lack of effectiveness," said the newspaper, echoing the Columbus Monthly article: "Few lawmakers are as honest, principled and consistent as Brinkman. But he exhibits those qualities to a fault, coming off as stubborn, ideologically rigid and unwilling to compromise. He's made many enemies in Columbus by refusing to see anyone else's side of things. This has limited his ability to work with others and get things done." Brinkman won the March 2 primary: 7,113 (63.00%) to 4,178 (37.00%).

In the general election on November 2 he faced Democrat Glenn Miller of Anderson Township, a former history teacher who worked in job training. "I think the biggest issue of this race is Tom Brinkman—how he votes and how he's against everything," Miller said. The Enquirer, again citing his stubbornness, endorsed Miller. Despite the criticism, Brinkman once again won the Republican district by a comfortable margin: 35,229 (60.04%) for Brinkman to 23,451 (39.96%) for Miller.

Brinkman strongly supported concealed carry legislation. "We have a constitutional right to bear arms. Larry Flynt has a right to put out smut and some people may not like that, but it's a right whether we like it or not," he said. Brinkman sponsored legislation to allow ex-cons the right to cut hair. He called "stupid" the policy of the state regulators to deny prisoners who had taken prison-administered barber classes a license upon their release. "I'm for personal responsibility, but people do make mistakes and we should give them a second chance," Brinkman said.

Brinkman also worked to limit state spending just as he had opposed local projects. In 2003, he opposed Taft's "Third Frontier" project and the bond issue on the November ballot as Issue One which would have permitted the state to borrow money to subsidize business's research and development. "Who would have thought a Republican governor would run on this?" Brinkman said (Issue One was soundly defeated by voters). When Taft proposed in 2004 the question once more be submitted to the voters, Brinkman renewed his criticism. "Corporate welfare is corporate welfare. Just because you buy off the manufacturers with more money for them, and you buy off the farmers, doesn't change what it is." He said he would join Democrats in voting against its placement on the November 2005 ballot. Brinkman in 2004 criticized state spending for Cincinnati's bid to win the 2012 Olympic Games and against legislation in 2004 to give hospitals more money for breast cancer examinations. Later that year, he spearheaded a campaign to repeal the City of Cincinnati property tax. While it did make it to the November ballot, it was rejected by the voters. He was also a supporter of Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell's proposed amendment to the Ohio Constitution to limit state spending. In 2005, he was one of only eight Republicans in the Ohio House to vote against the state budget, which raised taxes and increased spending. Previously, he had opposed Governor Taft's proposed personal income tax cut because it would mean higher local property taxes. He also called for funding for public libraries to be maintained.

On April 28, 2005, he introduced a bill, House Bill 228, that would ban all abortions. Brinkman acknowledged that the bill was unconstitutional under Roe v. Wade, but wanted to use it as a test case to overturn the Roe decision. "We’re just positioning the state for the future," he told the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Congressional bid
Brinkman ran for Congress in 2005 to replace Portman, announcing his candidacy outside the post office in Anderson Township on April 14. Brinkman told the press "When I first went to Columbus, I promised my constituents that I would fight for lower taxes, limited government, and to end abortion. I will do the same in Washington." An early poll found Pat DeWine, a member of the Hamilton County Commission and the son of U.S. Sen. Mike DeWine, with a significant lead: 42 percent for DeWine, 6 percent for Brinkman.

Brinkman had a strong anti-abortion stance that was criticized by rival candidate Pat DeWine because he also opposed the death penalty - despite such opposition being seemingly more anti-abortion, as it is in accordance with the Consistent Life Ethic. One mailing from DeWine had a large, ominous photograph of a man in a ski mask pointing a gun directly at the viewer. The caption was "Tom Brinkman opposes the death penalty, even for child murderers, cop killers and terrorists who kill Americans." The mailing also stated "Tom Brinkman says he's a conservative but when it comes to the safety of our families, he doesn't stand with us" and that murderers "will get off easy if he casts the deciding vote." DeWine did not note that Brinkman's opposition to the death penalty was rooted in his pro-life beliefs. Automated calls were made by DeWine's campaign featuring Joe Deters, Hamilton County prosecutor. Deters in the recording stated:

"In my career when I prosecute the worst of the worst like people who kill children, I believe the only appropriate punishment is the death penalty. Tom Brinkman is against the death penalty even for those vicious killers who prey on our kids, and he's even against the death penalty for terrorists who kill Americans. Our next congressman must go to Washington and fight to remove these murderers from society. Tom Brinkman will work to stop the death penalty just as he's done in Columbus. Pat DeWine believes these people should go. And that's one more reason I support Pat DeWine for Congress."

One of Brinkman's mailings said "Tom Brinkman believes all life is precious and must be protected. He has a 100% pro-life voting record." Brinkman's position was that he was "100% pro-life from conception to natural death." While DeWine also stated his anti-aboetion position, Brinkman noted on his web site "Because of [my] unwavering support of the Right to Life, from conception to natural death, Ohio Right to Life, Cincinnati Right to Life and Family First have again exclusively endorsed my election this year." In an Associated Press article, Brinkman was quoted as putting it more simply, saying he was "pro-life all the way".

Brinkman also complained about DeWine taking advantage of his father's name in raising money, but publicly distancing himself from his father's positions, such as Senator DeWine's role in the "Gang of 14" judicial filibuster compromise in May 2005 with six other mostly center-leaning Republicans and seven mostly center-leaning Democrats. "He seems to have no problems riding his father's coattails when it comes to raising money and getting name recognition; he's willing to take all the good from it and none of the bad."

In one mailing to voters Brinkman did not mince words: I am sick and tired of watching politicians promise to cut taxes in October—then raise them in March. I have had it with candidates who campaign against big government and later give in to the money hungry bureaucrats. I will not tolerate ideologically bent liberals trying to shift our educational focus from English and math to  'safe sex' and homosexual acceptance. [His emphasis]

In another mailing, he declared "He meant what he promised. He promised what he meant. Brinkman is faithful 100% ... 100% Against Higher Taxes ... 100% Committed to Limited Government ... 100% Pro-life ... 100% Pro-Second Amendment ... 100% Attendance Record," the latter referring to his never missing a roll call vote in the Ohio House.

Brinkman was endorsed by the Ohio Taxpayers Association, the Gun Owners of America Political Victory Fund, and was the National Right to Work Committee's 2005 state legislator of the year. The Anderson Township Republican Club ranked him "highly qualified". The Cincinnati Enquirer endorsed Jean Schmidt, praising her record in the Ohio House, writing of her substantial record. Schmidt, said the Enquirer, the measures "successfully sponsored were remarkable in number and quality for a neophyte lawmaker". The paper contrasted her to Brinkman, who
 * has kept close touch with people and has been conscientious in constituent service. We admire the consistency of the principles he operates under. But he has earned a reputation as one of Ohio's least effective legislators, too often an uncompromising, anti-any-tax "no" vote. It's hard to see how he could effectively serve this district.

Brinkman ran well in the June 14 primary but finished third behind former state representative Schmidt with 9,211 (20.3%) of the vote.

Brinkman had considered a challenge to Schmidt in the May 2006 primary but chose instead to run for re-election to the Ohio House.

In 2008, Brinkman declared his candidacy for Ohio's 2nd Congressional District, challenging incumbent Schmidt. He lost in a landslide defeat to Congresswoman Schmidt.

Return to the Ohio House of Representatives
In 2014, Brinkman decided to run again for his former seat in the Ohio House of Representatives. However, incumbent Peter Stautberg did not want to give up his seat, so Brinkman opted to challenge him in the primary. He would defeat Stautberg to take the seat. He won the general election easily to take the seat.

The most closely related language to Kurukh is Malto; together with Brahui, all three languages form the North Dravidian branch of the Dravidian language family. It is marked as being in a "vulnerable" state in UNESCO's list of endangered languages. The Kisan dialect has 206,100 speakers as of 2011.

In 1991, Basudev Ram Khalkho from Odisha released the Kurukh Banna script. In Sundargarh district of Odisha the Kurukh Banna alphabet is taught and promoted by Kurukh Parha. Fonts have been developed and people are using it widely in books, magazines and other material. The alphabet is also used by Oraon people in the states of Chhattisgarh, Bengal, Jharkhand and Assam.

In 1999, Narayan Oraon, a doctor, invented the alphabetic Tolong Siki script specifically for Kurukh. Many books and magazines have been published in Tolong Siki script, and it saw official recognition by the state of Jharkhand in 2007.

Standard Insurance Center

The Standard Insurance Center, originally the Georgia-Pacific Building, is a 27-story office building in Portland, Oregon. Completed in 1970, it currently serves as part of the headquarters of The Standard, the brand name under which Standard Insurance Company and other subsidiaries of StanCorp Financial Group, Inc., do business. Standard also owns the 16-story Standard Plaza, located two blocks south along 5th Avenue.

History
The Georgia-Pacific Building was commissioned by Georgia-Pacific and designed by the firm of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM). At the time of construction, it was the tallest reinforced concrete building in the world. It was completed in 1970.

When Georgia-Pacific left Portland, the Standard Insurance Company purchased the building in 1984 for $43 million, renamed it Standard Insurance Center, and removed all GP signage.

Details
Standing 367 ft tall, the tower contains 27 above-ground stories. Valued at $114 million, the structure contains 459504 ft2 of space. Built of concrete and steel, the tower is considered Modernist in style. One major tenant was the Stoel Rives law firm, which leased the top nine stories at the building until 2016. The Quest, an elaborate sculpture considered Portland’s largest single piece of white sculpted marble, is in front of the building. An untitled chrome sculpture is tucked away in the building's basement.

Flightline (airline)

Flightline was an airline based in Southend-on-Sea, England. It operated branded wet lease, ad hoc and contract passenger and freight charter services, as well as VIP flights and aircraft sales and maintenance. Sub-services were flown for major airlines in Europe as required. Its main bases' were London Southend Airport.

The company held a United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority Type A Operating Licence, and was permitted to carry passengers, cargo and mail on aircraft with 20 or more seats.

Flightline operated up to 14 flights a day between Aberdeen (ABZ) and Scatsta in the Shetland Isles (SCS) on behalf of Royal Dutch Shell and other members of the IAC (Integrated Aviation Consortium). Offshore workers were flown to Scatsta Airport and then transferred onto helicopters to several oil platforms, however this contract was due to end in February 2009.

Flightline also had a maintenance facility at its Southend base which provided base maintenance for the BAe-146 fleet as well as a small number of 3rd party aircraft. The engineering facility was closed in July 2008 in order to raise more funds to keep the airline running.

At time of closure of the airline in December 2008, they had contracts to operate several services on behalf of British Airways out of London City Airport, and also for the Ford car company from their base at Southend (near the Ford European headquarters) to Cologne, Germany. The MD-80 fleet operated a range of holiday charter flights to the Mediterranean, Manchester being a common departure point. The MD-80 fleet were grounded at Southend in November 2008 due to the lack of business in the winter season. Upon Flightline's demise the airline had debts exceeding £6 Million.

History
The airline was established in April 1989 and started operations in 1990. Initially it had two Embraer EMB 110 Bandeirante aircraft (G-OFLT and G-FLTY) which operated mail and small parcel flights from Southend. It began jet operations in March 1992 operating on behalf of independent tour operator Palmair from Bournemouth until 1999. In November 2001 it took over the contract (previously operated by British World Airlines) between Aberdeen and Scatsta, transporting oil rig workers.

In August 2007, a Flightline plane operating from Lisbon, Portugal to Dublin, Ireland had to make an emergency go-around after the pilot mistook the lights of a local hotel for the runway and proceeded on approach towards it. The aircraft only diverted from its approach towards the 16 story hotel after being alerted to his mistake by Air Traffic Control.

The company was placed into administration on 3 December 2008.

 * Hey, thanks for contributing to the article. I've noticed that your edits have been reverted a few times, and I thought I'd bring you up to speed as to the reasons it keeps getting bounced. In most Wikipedia articles, there is a need to keep the articles a certain size, so they can load on slower computers as well as maintaining a certain size per article. Most of the articles you see when you first go to the Wikipedia site are called featured articles (WP:FA). If you take a look at some of the articles, you will notice that they tend to look a lot alike when it comes to sizxe and general length of sections.
 * I agree that it wasn't just the Spartan phalanx formation that was used to fight off the Persians. However, military historians pretty much agree with the idea that the phalanx tended to keep a small group of soldiers alive in the face of a larger-sized opponents. It is for these two reasons that your edits have been reversed. It isn't like people are against you or your writing style. We really are happy you are contributing good style, and not useless garbage and vandalism.

Image copyright problem with Image:IOVSCoverfig.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:IOVSCoverfig.gif. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.
