WRKZ

WRKZ (99.7 FM) — branded 99.7 The Blitz — is a commercial active rock radio station licensed to Columbus, Ohio serving the Columbus metro area. Both the WRKZ studios and transmitter are located in Columbus, and the station itself is owned by North American Broadcasting Company, Inc.

History

99.7FM went on the air in 1962. At that time, FM radio had not been widely adopted (a US commercial FM station had broadcast in stereo for the first time in June, 1961) and WMNI-FM (as it was then known) mostly rebroadcast its sister AM station's easy listening music format. Like most stations, it has changed formats over the years. In the early 1980s the station call letters changed to WRMZ and started to broadcast a country music format. Joe Hill, now of Tucson AZ was the weekend overnight announcer from March to August 1983. In the late '80s and early '90s the station was known as WMGG, Magic 99-7, and played predominantly '60s-era classic rock/oldies.

The Blitz: 1992–2008

The Blitz began during the July 4 weekend, 1992, and had an active rock format. The call letters when the station went by this name was WBZX. It was also formerly the home of the syndicated The Howard Stern Show for several years before that show went to Sirius Satellite Radio.

The office tower The Rock at the Gustav Mahlersquare is part of the Mahler 4 office area in Amsterdam.

The building distinguishes itself by the crooked glass, aluminum, stone and concrete elements. The building seems to be much heavier at the upper parts compared to the lower area. The design is very rough and feels like a rock. It is one of the tallest buildings at the Zuidas in Amsterdam.

Interior

The interior is created from the stone, wood and brass. In the offices the design is relatively simple. Although most of the building is characterized by straight edges and sleek shapes, the entrance has more rounded shapes and smooth transitions. The staircase in the main entrance won a prize for 'Staircase of the year' from EeStairs in the year 2012.

List of Soul characters

A comprehensive list of characters from the Soul series of fighting games produced by Namco.

Overall conception and development

The Soul series is a weapon-based fighting game franchise developed by Namco Bandai's Project Soul division and consists of eight games: Soul Edge, Soulcalibur, Soulcalibur II, Soulcalibur III, Soulcalibur Legends, Soulcalibur IV, Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny and Soulcalibur V. Set in the 16th century, the plot of the games revolve around Soul Edge, a cursed sword able to possess its wielder and devour souls. Its sprit is called Inferno, and his avatar/host is called Nightmare. Soul Calibur, a holy sword and Soul Edge's antithesis, also has a spirit called Elysium.

Characters

With each character, their weapon was decided upon before other aspects were. The design was then built to revolve around it, starting with gender, then physical measurements, and lastly background details. Once established, appearance and movement were fleshed out by the team's concept artist and rendered as a 3D model by a design team that worked solely on the character. The completed model was then animated by a motion capture artist working directly with the team. During this phase the team additionally worked with the story creators, refining the character's own role in the plot as needed throughout development. In the course of the series, two characters have been an exception to the process: Johan Druer, a berserker exclusive to the Soulcalibur Japanese player's guide, and Necrid, a character co-produced with Todd McFarlane that appears in Soulcalibur II.

Plymouth Rock chicken

The Plymouth Rock is a breed of domestic chicken from the United States. It originated in New England in the 19th century from cross-breeding of Dominiques and Black Javas.

History

The Plymouth Rock was developed in New England in the early 1800s by crossing Dominiques and Black Javas.. John C. Bennett (1804–1867) has been credited with either creating or popularizing the breed.

Colors

In the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada, seven color varieties of the Plymouth Rock are recognized: Barred, Blue, Buff, Columbian, Partridge, Silver-penciled and White. In Australia, the Barred variant is split into two separate colors, Dark Barred and Light Barred. The difference between these colors is highly noticeable, with the bars of white color wider and the grey lighter in the Light Barred than in Dark Barred.

Use

The Plymouth Rock was bred as a dual-purpose fowl, meaning that it was valued both for its meat and the egg-laying ability of the hens. It is a cold-hardy bird. The hens lay brown eggs, and continue laying all through the winter with decreased production.
