Unfair: The End (アンフェア the end) is a 2015 Japanese police drama thriller film based on the Japanese television drama series Unfair. It follows two other films based on the series, Unfair: The Movie (2007) and Unfair 2: The Answer (2011). The film is directed by Shimako Satō, who also directed the previous film, with Ryoko Shinohara reprising her role from the series and films. It was released on September 5, 2015.
The film was number-one at the Japanese box office on its opening weekend by number of admissions, with 214,000, and was second place by gross renevue, with ¥295 million. On its second weekend it earned ¥191 million and again placed second by gross revenue. By September 29, it had earned ¥1.79 billion.
KHTB (101.9 FM) is a Salt Lake City, Utah-based radio station. The station's studios are located in South Salt Lake (behind the I-15/I-80 interchange) and its transmitter site is located southwest of the city on Farnsworth Peak in the Oquirrh Mountains.
In 1995, KKAT licensed "Young Country" from Alliance Broadcasting. It was the first country station to intentionally go after young listeners. Also that year, Kid Cassidy (John Potter) of KWNR replaced Gary and Scotty in the mornings, with Insane Rick Shane remaining as producer. Other local hosts were T.J. Evans, "Gentleman Jim" Mickleson, Bob Wells and Tracy Chapman, while Blair Garner did the overnight shift. KKAT took over the number one position among five country stations from KSOP-FM, the only station in the group to lose listeners. Gary and Scotty had been hired to replace Ken Simmons after Simmons' arrest for lewd behavior, and the station and the morning hosts could not overcome the stigma of that incident. But hiring Cassidy and a strong promotional effort worked. KKAT would be replaced by KPQP, a Top 40 station, in 2004. KPQP would last until KENZ's move to the frequency in late 2005.
KNDD (107.7 FM), also known as "107.7 The End", is an alternative rock radio station in Seattle, Washington. It is operated by Entercom Communications. Its studios are located in the Metropolitan Park West tower between Downtown and South Lake Union in Seattle. The station broadcasts on 107.7 MHz with an ERP of 68,000 watts and transmits from a tower near Issaquah, Washington on Tiger Mountain.
KNDD broadcasts in HD.
The station began its life in 1962 as non-commercial KRAB, founded by Lorenzo Milam and eventually owned by the Jack Straw Memorial Foundation. KRAB broadcast an eclectic mix of Pacifica radio features, world music, jazz, and much more. But the station was also dangerously close to insolvency. Its management realized the station could be sold to a commercial broadcaster and an endowment created, allowing the Foundation to broadcast in the non-commercial part of the radio dial, which exists between 88.1 MHz and 91.9 MHz. The owners of KRAB originally applied to share time with KNHC, owned by the Seattle Public Schools. However, this action was seen by the school district as a hostile take-over bid. Ultimately, the owners got a license for 90.7 MHz in Everett, Washington. KRAB's legacy remains on the air at KSER.

IT BELONGS TO ME NOW, DAVE DOBYN
Classic rock/pop song from one of New Zealand's finest sons Dave Dobbyn and his band DD SMASH from 1982. Another catchy riff from Kiwi rockers DD SMASH from the early 1980s . In mid-1981, Dobbyn forged his coup de grace - Dave Dobbyn's Divers. Thankfully a name change eventuated to DD Smash. A guitar-driven four piece, the band settled straight into live work. Auckland venues were at their height and work was plentiful. The fan base fattened by the week. By late '81, DD Smash signed a recording deal and immediately set about recording their debut album, with Ian Morris in the producer's chair. DD Smash released their debut album in 1982. Titled 'Cool Bananas' it debuted in the national chart at #1, an historic first. It remained in the chart for 24 weeks and became triple gold. The al...
What to say about this wonderful song? Fronted by the great Dave Dobbyn, DD SMASH were legends in their native New Zealand but, sadly, made little impact here in Australia. This little gem, restored in stereo for your enjoyment, is one of my favourite songs of the 80's. Turn it up. Cool bananas!

Anyone who's shaken dust
Knows that it should fall back
Harmless
It's over now
Things have changed
Everything is different And rearranged
We never got the way that we should go
Tears and heartache, nothing more
I had to play grownup in our game
That wasn't fair, that was the worst thing
And if I didn't say this was the end
You would still be here now
We wanted to be out of our heads
In all that we could do
Daddy didn't but you a diamond ring
And mummy's still waiting for better things
Baby's on his own now he's qualified
Remember I was there on his down days
You'll do good and you know that too
If I can give them I will do
Mummy's gonna buy you a brand new life
Mummy's gonna buy you a brand new life
And if I didn't say this was the end
You would still be here now
We wanted to be out of our heads
In all that we could do
Born leaders, no, no we are not
Born leaders, no, no never growing up
Born leaders, no
My hands be still should my eyes be bright
And if I didn't say this was the end
You would still be here now
We wanted to be out of our heads
In all that we could do
And if I didn't say this was the end
You would still be here now
