Oak (band)

Oak was an English folk band in the early 1970s; it had a major influence on folk revival in the UK, despite being together for only two years.

Members of Oak:

  • Tony Engle (voice, Anglo concertina, fiddle, bones)
  • Danny Stradling (voice, tambourine)
  • Rod Stradling (voice, melodeons)
  • Peta Webb (voice, fiddle)

    • The members of Oak met in the 1960s in Kingston upon Thames, where Rod Stradling ran a folk club. The Stradlings moved to Camden Town in 1968 and became involved in running another folk club in Islington. Engle and Webb also moved to North London soon afterwards. In 1970, while his wife Danny was pregnant, Rod Stradling played together with Tony Engle as a successful duo and as part of The Garland, replacing Mel Dean. After the birth of their son, the Stradlings and Engle and Webb joined forces as Oak and had soon performed at most of the folk clubs in the London area.

    They were asked by Bill Leader to make an LP for his Trailer label, but as Engle worked for Topic Records, he felt obliged to offer to record for them first. To his surprise, the offer was accepted and Welcome to Our Fair was recorded on May Day, 1971. The record caused enormous interest and the band played 163 gigs in the 18 months between the record's release and their final performance, on 19 December 1972.

    Thor (soundtrack)

    Thor is the soundtrack to the Marvel Studios film of the same name, based on the character created by Marvel Comics. The music was composed by Patrick Doyle, and performed by the London Symphony Orchestra. Buena Vista Records announced the details for the soundtrack in March 2011. It was released in some European territories at the end of April and was released on May 3 in the United States.

    Track listing

    All music composed by Patrick Doyle.

    Reception

    James Christopher Monger of AllMusic stated that, "Composer Patrick Doyle, who brought a new-found boldness to the Harry Potter franchise in 2005 with his Goblet of Fire score, treats director Kenneth Branagh's big-screen adaptation of Marvel Comic’s iconic Norse superhero Thor with appropriate gravitas. The longtime Branagh collaborator (Henry V, Dead Again) sets the stage with “Chasing the Storm,” a tense and surging unveiling of the main theme, which sounds a bit like a cross between the James Newton Howard and Hans Zimmer's Batman Begins cue and Zimmer's “CheValiers de Sangreal” theme from The Da Vinci Code, and like Zimmer, Doyle knows how to whip a circular melody into a frenzy. Elsewhere, the lovely and appropriately stoic “Sons of Odin” is awash in traditional fantasy elements, while the epic “Compound” unveils a more modern, sci-fi action approach, resulting in a score that’s wistful, heroic, and as grand as the fantastic realm of Asgard itself".

    Jane Foster (comics)

    Jane Foster is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character is usually depicted as a supporting character of the superhero Thor. Created by writers Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, and artist Jack Kirby, the character first appeared in Journey into Mystery #84 (Sept. 1962). For many years, Foster was a nurse employed by Dr. Donald Blake, Thor's first mortal host, before becoming a doctor herself. In 2015, Foster was revealed to be deemed worthy to wield Thor's hammer Mjolnir when the former is no longer able, adopting the name of Thor, the "Goddess of Thunder", and joining the Avengers.

    Jane Foster has also appeared in various media adaptations of Thor, including the 2011 feature film Thor, and its 2013 sequel Thor: The Dark World, in which she is portrayed by Natalie Portman.

    Publication history

    Jane Foster first appeared in Journey into Mystery #84 (Sept. 1962), and was created by plotter Stan Lee, scripter Larry Lieber and penciler Jack Kirby. Named "Jane Nelson" in her first two appearances, she went on to appear as the love interest of Dr. Donald Blake, the secret identity of the Norse god superhero Thor, in nearly every issue through #136 (Jan. 1967) of the title, by then renamed Thor.

    Thor (sculpture)

    Thor is an outdoor 1977 copper and redwood sculpture by American artist Melvin Schuler, located on the Transit Mall of downtown Portland, Oregon.

    Description and history

    Thor is an abstract outdoor sculpture depicting Thor, the hammer-wielding god of thunder in Norse mythology. Located at the intersection of Southwest 6th Avenue and Southwest Taylor Street in the Portland Transit Mall, the copper on redwood sculpture was completed in 1977, funded by TriMet and the United States Department of Transportation. It measures 7 feet (2.1 m) x 4 feet (1.2 m) x 4 feet (1.2 m). According to the Regional Arts & Culture Council, the agency which administers Thor, "This piece served as a excellent example of Schuler's work, which is characterized by large cubic and angular sculptures achieved by hammering copper onto carved redwood. This process creates a unique and recognizable finish to his sculptures." The sculpture was previously located at Southwest 5th between Washington and Alder.

In light of a pandemic and many issues the city and the CTA are facing, there have been a number of growing problems affecting our transit system in recent months. Two of those are ridership and staff shortages. Ridership is indeed increasing as people are coming back to using public transit. But due to staffing shortages caused by a city-mandated vaccine requirement for city workers and safety concerns, the whole rail and bus system has been deemed unreliable by the general public. Currently across the 'L' network, the train schedules have been modified to "reflect" the current number of operators CTA has available. This was heavily suggested by a group by the name of "Commuters Take Action", which are known for calling out the CTA for "ghost trains" and "inaccurate train trackers". Their claim is because the trackers are programmed to display both scheduled and live runs. They claim the scheduled runs that aren't filled due to any sort of manpower absence are "ghost trains". As a result, service has worsened rather than improved with trains scheduled to run every 10-12 minutes. Before this current schedule, which took effect October 23rd, 2022, trains on the Blue Line were scheduled to run about every 5 to 7 minutes. This "solution" has only worsened the situation because employee availability can vary day by day. This has left gaps between trains easily becoming a 15 to 20, even 30 minute wait in some cases, rather than a 10 minute with the previous schedule. This video showcases the amounts of ridership and capacity issues on the Blue Line at Clark/Lake during the PM rush hour, under this current schedule. This was filmed on various dates during February 2023. Special thanks to Josh Burns for filming the entirety of this video! We pray that with a new mayoral administration coming to city hall in May, the CTA will return to normalcy with being as busy and frequent of a system it was back in 2019! Bonus clips at the beginning of the video show 2600 series work trains on the move at 18th and Polk on the Douglas branch, now with brand new work motor stripes.
