is a shōjo manga series created by Kanan Minami.

The first two volumes of the manga were adapted into a two-episode original video animation (OVA) in 2006. A dating sim adaptation of the manga, Honey × Honey Drops Love × Love Honey Life, was released as a PlayStation 2 game by Idea Factory on April 6, 2006.

Story
Hagino Yuzuru is an ordinary girl at Houjou High School. When she works a part-time job during summer break, she gets into trouble with Renge Kai of the Kuge course which many rich people take. After the summer break, she finds that she was chosen as Kai's "HONEY". The HONEY is a partner of a MASTER (usually, Honeys are used for companionship and to aid their Masters so that they can graduate and go on to run their respective family businesses, and usually are so close that they become lifetime partners), a Kugeka (in Japanese, Kugeka means "nobility") course student, to take care of him until he graduates from the school, and the HONEY is chosen from the normal course student. The HONEY is exempted from paying tuition fee. It is a fascinating condition for Yuzuru because her family is badly off. However, if she quits being HONEY, she will be expelled. Getting involved with Renge Kai, one of the special students, could be a big mistake.

Throughout the story, Renge starts showing different personalities to Yuzuru. He makes special exceptions for her, that he's never done with his other Honeys but always under the guise of "punishment" for Yuzuru because she embarrassed him when she first met him at an expensive hotel, working as a waitress. Yet he's still considerate in his own way towards her, and feelings start to grow. At first, Yuzuru is tied to Kai as his Honey by force, with a lotus earring she can't remove, and through the free tuition fees. But as time goes on she starts to tie herself willingly to him. Even when his scheming bank accountant Toi cut her funding, she still stands by him. Renge becomes more fascinated with her, and willingly carries her bag, makes a matching outfit for basketball practice (for Drop tournament, which is basketball without rules, where the loser must give up their Honey). So when Toi cuts the funding, he decides to get a part-time job with her, to double her money so she can continue school.

Renge always says he trusts her, even when she lies to him about things she's embarrassed about (like the job). Even when she 'betrays' him, he still listens and helps and always reminds her that he NEVER wants another. He listens to her side of the story, and likewise she won't believe anything that doesn't come from him. Which is another reason why she doesn't leave, because if she doesn't hear explicitly from him that he no longer wants her to be his Honey, she will continue to be his no matter what, even if Renge's banking accountant Toi tells her otherwise or Renge's deranged arranged fiancé Kayaka. Later on Kayaka goes back to America, and Toi is fired (but then later joins up with Kayaka's family) for cutting the funding to Yuzuru's tuition, and after a while they get married a bit before Renge and Yuzuru.

In the last chapter, after six years of high school, the Honeys are free. This causes much distress to Yuzuru who has stood faithfully by his side for 6 years and she now must give up the earring that ties her to him. But again, Renge reminds her that he's considered no one else, and that they're still together. They fly to a tropical island and get married, and wear wedding bands with his family's lotus symbol.

Characters

An ordinary student in Hojo High School. Since she carelessly offended Kai during her summer job, she becomes Kai's Honey during this semester. At first Yuzuru doesn't like Kai because he always finds ways to sexually harass Yuzuru (which makes her feel empty since she feels nothing but a play-thing), but later she finds out Kai harasses her because he is attracted to her, and she realizes that she doesn't mind it as much as she did before. Yuzuru's parents are very greedy and rapacious; they are very poor as well to the point where their loyalties are easily swayed and bought by whoever pays the most. Yuzuru performs badly in both her studies and sports, and constantly refers to herself as "such a measly Honey" or "a Honey like me" (because she's afraid of displeasing him, and not being the best she can be for him). She needs to be reassured occasionally that she's not at fault and that even though she doesn't do things the way other Honeys do, Kai still loves her and wants HER, not any other Honey. She detests Kai at first but finally falls in love with him later on. Since Chihaya once encroached upon her, Yuzuru is afraid of him. Throughout the manga series, Yuzuru and Kai remain in love despite what Chihaya does to separate them. Later Kai proposes to Yuzuru during a bath, and she accepts. They marry in the last chapter.

A student in Houjou High School. He is Yuzuru's master and was born into a very rich family—"The Renge Family" (Lotus Clan). At first, Kai thinks Yuzuru is only a toy for him to play tricks with (and sexually harass), however soon he falls in love with her. Since the other masters of the 9 flowers found their true honeys in elementary school, Kai was envious and desperately wanted to find his own honey for himself. Although Kai thought Yuzuru was just another weak and careless honey which was not meant for him and thought she was going to quit, he soon sees that they were meant to be and does whatever it takes to keep her by his side. Kai does well at all sports (especially tennis and basketball). He also is despicably honest, even though the rest at his high school isn't, when it comes to the Drops Tournament (though, he does let himself go a bit that way, because he cannot risk to lose Yuzuru). He doesn't want Yuzuru to cheat, because it's the only chance he has to have fun and play ball with his classmates (since the Kugeka have really no club activities, and they never play basketball in PE). His academic results are also superb. In the manga, Kai is over-protective of Yuzuru, but loves her dearly. Later he proposes to Yuzuru during a bath, and she accepts.

A student in Houjou High School, and Kai's best friend since his youth. Sakuragi is Kuki's Master. He is well-adept at sports. Nayuta always calls Yuzuru as "Yuzu-yuzu". He's very playful and loves games. He shows extreme loyalty to his friends, especially the ones he's known for a very long time, and takes any affront to them as an affront to himself.

A student in Hojo High School, who always seems to be dressed in a kimono and with a fan in hand. Chihaya lives in a traditional Japanese home. He seems to be unsupporting of Kai and kind to his Honey, but in truth, he is actually admires Kai to the point of being dangerously obsessed with him,  and loathes his Honeys, especially the ones who he thinks are awkward or stupid and believes to a threat to his reputation and does whatever it takes to get them dropped, even manipulating or threatening others into aiding his cruel and demented ambition. Throughout the series, he causes a lot of trouble between Yuzuru and Kai, also due to his jealousy of Yuzuru for being able to monopolizes Kai, even knowing and admitting that what he does is wrong, along with even settling on being remembered as someone Kai hates.

Sakuragi's honey; an intelligent man. Kuki is a very competent Honey and at time to time, gives Yuzuru helpful advice. Kuki is amazingly loyal to Sakuragi and vows that he will do anything for his master. He has been Nayuta Sakuragi's honey since he was in kindergarten, was responsible for getting him to take a nap and not have Nayuta worry about his parents. In that part, that's when Nayuta finally calms down because he played with Genjou's hair. So he would tug it a couple times, and it made Genjou really happy to be of service, and to be able to comfort Nayuta in such a simple way, with his hair. He never cuts his long hair as he does not want to cut away the hair that his master (Nayuta) has once touched. And so thus, he is bad at tying his hair, so usually Nayuta ends up tying his hair for him. Whenever Nayuta ties his hair, it's because it's the one thing he can do to help his honey, because it's the one thing Genjou's bad at. He also has a hair band that Nayuta gave to him a long time ago, and protects it. Genjo really likes Sakuragi. He will do anything for him.
He also came to care for Yuzuru as a friend and fellow honey, though not always the most helpful teaching, since it seem it cause Nayuta to act up.
Kayaka
A close childhood friend of Kai, Kuki and Nayuta. She is from a rich family like Kai. She believes herself an opposite of Yuzuru, being smart, skilled, and tomboyish, she is also bossy, brash, impulsive, boastful, and in some cases, emotionally fragile. She always had a crush on Kai to the point where she took the idea of the two of them getting married very seriously, even though it was just what their parents wanted and mostly because it was just a joke. It became an obsession of sort when before her heart operation, another girl her age died during her surgery despite having a 90% chance of success, becoming traumatized and hell-bent on telling Kai her feelings when she survive her operation. When returning she almost instantly grew to dislike Yuzuru for being Kai's Honey and her feelings for him, but grew to see her as a friend, and was almost even willing to accept the idea of Kai being with Yuzuru. Unfortunately, thanks to Yurioka's influence and Kayaka becoming more aware of Kai and Yuzuru's love for each other, she became more deranged, demented and cruel. She began to work with Toi and Yurioka, hell-bent on making Kai hers to the point she attempted to rape him, and get herself pregnant, along with taking sadistic pleasure in making Yuzuru suffer. However, Kai managed to backfire her plan and make her back off in order to retrieve Yuzuru's funding. Due to her actions, she was sent back abroad with Toi, but not before, after coming back to her senses, somewhat making amends with Yuzuru, in a way acknowledging her as Kai's lover. She is last seen at Kai and Yuzuru's wedding, having married Toi a little bit before.
Toi
Kai's bank accountant, In charge of his funds, including Yuzuru's. Also always uses a chainsaw to break down locked doors. He is pushy, scheming, degenerated, selfish and treacherous. Even as Kai's accountant, he holds no true loyalty and appears resentful and bitter towards Kai instead. His true loyalty lies with the love of his life, Kayaka, and he is hell bent on doing whatever it takes to please her and satisfy her interests, even at the misery of others since he only sees them as obstacles in Kayaka's path and most likely sees Kai as a tool for Kayaka's deranged and twisted happiness. He went as far as to mostly likely allow Chihaya to forcefully drop his other honeys, thereby most likely being in some sort of alliance with him, and went as far as to send men to remove Yuzuru's earring, cut her fundings without permission, even attempt to allow Kayaka to almost rape Kai while he almost sends Yuzuru to be raped by Chihaya. However after the plan backfires on Kayaka and almost beats Kai for hurting her, despite knowing what she was trying to do, he allows the fundings to be recovered and was fired. But he was somehow hired to be Kayaka's care taker and resolved to steal her heart, which eventually succeed as they marry sometime before Yuzuru and Kai.

Into Another is an American rock band formed in 1990 in New York City.  The original lineup consisted of vocalist Richie Birkenhead (formerly of Underdog and Youth of Today), drummer Drew Thomas (formerly of Bold), bassist Tony Bono (formerly of Whiplash) and guitarist Peter Moses.  Into Another performed their first show at New York's Pyramid Club, supporting White Zombie. Their song "T.A.I.L." hit No. 39 on the U.S. Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in 1996. The band broke up later that year due to intra-band tensions and a deteriorated relationship with Hollywood Records.  Bassist Tony Bono died in May 2002.

In 2012, Into Another reunited for the Revelation Records 25th Anniversary shows at The Glasshouse in Pomona, California.  Original members Richie Birkenhead, Peter Moses and Drew Thomas were joined by guitarist Brian Balchack (Ignite) and bassist Reid Black (Innaway).

Chaetorellia acrolophi is a species of tephritid fruit fly known as the knapweed peacock fly. It is used as an agent of biological pest control against noxious knapweeds, especially spotted knapweed (Centaurea maculosa).

The adult fly is light greenish brown with brown-banded wings and iridescent green eyes. It is 3 to 5 millimeters long.external image The female lays about 70 eggs beneath the bracts on immature flower heads. When the larva emerges from the egg a few days later it burrows into the flower head and feeds on the developing florets. As the larva grows it begins to feed on the developing seeds, often consuming the entire contents of the flower head during its two-week larval stage. It pupates inside the empty flower head.

This fly is native to Europe. It was first released as a knapweed biocontrol in the 1990s in Montana, and it is currently established in much of the western United States. It is host-specific to invasive knapweeds, preferring spotted knapweed, and has not been known to attack any native plants. The fly is often outcompeted by other species that attack knapweed flower heads, such as certain weevils, so it does best where there are no competitors.

Distribution
France, Spain, East to Belarus, Turkey. Introduced to North America.

Harris Ranch Airport  is an airstrip near Coalinga, California, next to Interstate 5. To the north of the airport is the Harris Ranch Restaurant and Inn. The airport has been open since March 1981.

There is only one runway,  wide and  long. Parking and fuel are on the north end near the restaurant. On the south end of the runway is a run-up area. There is no taxiway parallel to the runway, so takeoffs on RWY32 and landings on RWY14 require back-taxi on the runway.

Uses
An average of 27 operations per day occur at Harris Ranch.  All are transient general aviation flights; no aircraft are based there. One of the most common uses of this airport is to access the Harris Ranch restaurant and/or hotel (see: $100 hamburger).

Kuuma Empire is a fictional space crime organization in Zaido: Pulis Pangkalawakan and the revival of Fushigi World Fuuma of Uchuu Keiji Shaider.

History

The Kuumas are the descendants of the clan of Fuuma Le-ar. 20 years after their retreat and the death of Le-ar, Ida revived their leader to conquer the universe once again. They follow a strategy in making a planet part of the Kuuma Empire: they kidnap the children of a planet to alert the adults, they then negotiate with the planets leaders. If they surrender, the planet will become a part of the Kuuma empire. If not the planet is destroyed, the planet Earth is the only planet not under control the Kuuma or destroyed. They have the Time Space Warp (Strange Dimension or Shigi Jikyu in original version) a realm with temperatures reaching up to 6000 degrees Celsius. It magnifies the power of their soldiers and monsters. Like the original Fuuma grunts called Miraclers, Kuuma grunts are also spies and have the ability to disguise as humans. Their known dance is the Shigi Shigi and their music is the revival version of Fushigi (sung by Koorogi '73) which can be heard in original series. Their mothership is different from the mothership of Fuuma.

Downfall

Kuuma Le-ar plans to dominate the entire Planet Earth by resurrecting monsters to destroy there once again. He orders Sigma (Alexis) to seek chaos on Earth, but instead of this, he betrays him. Drigo saves his son Alexis, Alvaro and the Zaido Squad while destroys the machine which controls the Amasonas and later killed by both Ida and Le-ar. Le-ar's monsters, grunts and even his allies are defeated by Zaido Squad, Amasonas, humans and other allies. Le-ar kills Commander Zion before the Kuuma lord faces the three Zaidos. Le-ar, along with Ida, confronts Gallian (Blue), Cervano (Red) and Alexis (Green) in the final Time Space Warp battle. Both Zaido Red and Zaido Green defeat Ida. Zaido Blue beheads Le-ar. Both Ida, who becomes older again, and the beheaded Le-ar are trapped in the Time Space Warp forever and both are died and the entire mothership of Kuuma is exploded. The tomb of the body of Le-ar is now destroyed by the Zaido Squad as an order from Luna. The world is now at peace.

Members of Kuuma

Kuuma Le-ar

The revival version of Great Emperor Kubilai of the original series. Kuuma Le-ar is the evil leader of the Kuuma Empire bent on annihilating all beings in the galaxy. 20 years later after he was defeated by Shaider, he was revived by Ida by using a blood of Annie to destroy the entire galaxy once again. Le-ar is a giant head with a third eye on his forehead and permanently situated on the center Kuuma Palace wall. He "bears" the Kuuma monsters by spewing out a cocoon from its mouth. He seeks to retrieve his body which was found on Earth before Zaido Squad does. When Ramiro and group of Kuumas found the lost body of Le-ar, the lord of Kuuma merges his lost body into man-size form (unlike the original Kubilai that has large head attached to his small body) so that he would become more powerful than ever. He fuses with Ramiro when he refuses his condition in order to get Debbie back to her father. He resurrects his previous monsters, which the Zaido Squad defeated them, to bring forth the destruction and chaos on Planet Earth. He duels Zaido Blue, Zaido Green and Zaido Red in the final Time Space Warp battle. He is beheaded by Zaido Blue. He and his grandson Ida who becomes old are now trapped inside the Time Space Warp forever and both die. His body is now destroyed to make the Earth peace.

Kuuma Le-ar is voiced by Tirso Cruz III, who also played Ramiro.

Ida (II)

Ida is the grandson and adviser of Le-ar. He is also the high priest of the Kuuma and is hailed as one of the most beautiful beings in the universe.  Like his ancestor Priest Poe (or Babaylan Ida in the Philippine dubbed version), Ida maintains his flawless, androgynous appearance by imbibing a concoction made from the blood of 13 young women.  Ida is known for his trademark phrase "Time Space Warp, ngayon din!" (roughly translates to "Strange Dimension, now!"). Ida confronts Zaido Red and Zaido Green in the final Time Space Warp battle. He is defeated by Zaido Green and Zaido Red before they would help Zaido Blue to finish Le-ar. Ida, along with the beheaded Le-ar, is now trapped in the Time Space Warp as he gets older and both die.

Paolo Ballesteros played the role of Ida.

Drigo (II)

As Le-ar's field commander, Drigo leads the Kuuma in their campaign against Earth. Unlike his predecessor Hessler (Drigo I), he is rather incompetent and is often the subject of derogatory comments. In flashbacks, he revealed that he had a relationship with Sharina, Cervano's real mother but unbeknownst to him and to Commander Zion, it was actually Shanara (Helen) who was impregnated by Drigo when she pretended to be her twin sister to break up with him. Drigo turns out to be father of Alexis (not Cervano) and points out that his son is half-human, half-Kuuma. Drigo saves his son Alexis, Alvaro and Zaido Squad from Ida and Le-Ar's attack, destroys the mainframe to turn the Amasonas back into their lives and battles both of them until he is killed by Ida and Le-Ar in the final battle.
Drigo is played by Jay Manalo.

Ida Dida

Ida Dida is the mini version of Ida who was given birth by Le-ar during Ida's birthday. Even if Ida speaks, she repeats what he says. Her fate is unknown.

Ida Dida is played by a child actress, Nicole Dulalia.

Gayke

Gayke is a Kuuma grunt who is usually sent by Ida to aid in their missions (as opposed to Fasullo with Drigo). He disguises as a female human being, but retains the mannerisms of a Kuuma soldier. He sometimes accompanies Ida when they go to Earth for a mission. Gayke wanted to keep his "female human" form but he was hesitant because of Ida. Ida agreed to let Gayke keep his girly form so that he can watch over the kids of Tala and help any Kuuma monster in carrying out the mission. This is to point out that all Kuumas are male (except for Ida Dida), and they had to "recruit" female human beings just so they can form a group of Amasonas (so that they get to have real female members). He was among the grunts who were killed in the final battle.

Gayke (Human) is portrayed by Chariz Solomon.

Fasullo/Inday

Fasullo is a Kuuma intelligence agent sent by Drigo to guard the Zaidos (especially Cervano). He disguises as Inday, an English-speaking maid working for Cervano's Family. When Fasullo first appeared and talked to Drigo, he had a male voice in Spanish-like language. He turns into an ally after he saved Cervano's adoptive family from the grunts' attack, retaining his "Inday" persona and now speaks in Tagalog but in Balagtasan phrase. Before the final battle, Fasullo joins the forces of good, the Zaido and the Galactic Force. Fasullo is the only Kuuma blood who didn't harm the humans (even Cervano and his adoptive family) and befriended them when he disguised as Inday. After the final battle, he retains his "female" persona as Inday and his "Kuuma" status wears off and also he has to leave Cervano's family. Inday lives with love interest Dodong.

Fasullo/Inday is portrayed by Patricia Ismael.

Amasonas

The Amasonas (literally Amazons) are a revival of the Girl's Army in the original Shaider series.  The term was used to describe the Girl's Army in the Philippine dubbed version of Shaider. Unlike the original kunoichi who were unidentified, the new Amasonas are identified by color and are in reality, human beings taken from Planet Earth. All the amasonas have had a bad history with the men in their lives. During that time, the Kuuma Empire was also in dire need of reinforcements, as a lot of Drigo's men were killed in the battle with the three Zaido. Ida took advantage of this point when the girls were filled with hatred, sorrow and confusion, and brought them and other girls who were also troubled in a "seminar" for women called KUMA or KUmakalinga sa mga Magdalenang Api (lit: Those who care for oppressed women). The five were chosen because according to Ida, they had the most hatred inside of them, plus he didn't want the looks of all the other girls. Ida hypnotized and brought the five girls to the Kuuma headquarters where they were turned into Amazonas. The colors of their respective Amasona outfits are the same as the colors of the dress/clothes they were wearing during their transformation. Their powers are using gold magic dust to put victims into sleep. Later, they have remembered their loved ones and their lives and have to betray the Kuuma. However, Ida orders the Kuumas to reprogram the Amasonas to make them stronger than before. Later, they revert into their normal lives and join the forces, the Zaido, against Kuuma.

Amasonang Lila

Amasonang Lila (Purple Amazon) is the fastest of the Amasonas, her expertise lies on the use of her personal weapon: the kali. Debbie is Ramiro's daughter, and a colleague of Mona's at the newspaper before turning into an Amasona. Debbie has recently discovered that it was her father who ordered the execution of Alvaro, Alexis' older brother. Later, Debbie joins the side of good. After the defeat of Kuuma and death of her father Ramiro (Le-ar), she reunites with her friend Mona. In the end, she meets and falls in love with Alvaro.

LJ Reyes played the role of Amasonang Lila/Debbie.

Amasonang Itim

Sonia Tamano, or known as Amasonang Itim (Black Amazon), used to be a colleague of Carmela in a security agency. Seeing Gallian save her from a hostage-taker made her readily fall for him. However, after making advances on him, she was rejected by Gallian and was told off by Carmela. Adding the fact that she was cheated upon by her former boyfriend, she was pushed to the brink which made her join KUMA. Now, she is an expert in pistols and fights for the forces of Kuuma. Sonia joins the Zaido against the Kuuma. Sonia, along with Marla and Debbie, saves Rhea and Stacy from Shadow's attack and stops him also. After the final battle, she reunites with Carmela. In the end, Sonia takes care of Mona after her friend Carmela decides to leave with Gallian for good.

Iwa Moto played the role of Amasonang Itim/Sonia Tamano.

Amasonang Rosas

Amasonang Rosas (Pink Amazon), known as Marla, is a martial arts expert who used to be one of Doctor Eng's boarders. Before she became an Amasona, she was being harassed by her training officer at a fast food chain. When she rejected his advances, she was eliminated from the training and was replaced by another one who is more "qualified" when in reality she just refused to kiss the officer. Of all the Amasonas, she is the strongest. Her weapons are a pair of short, trident-like blades. Marla turns into human again and joins the forces of good. After the final battle, she reunites with Amy. In the end, Marla works with Doctor Eng in his medicine store.

Amasonang Rosas/Marla is portrayed by Melissa Avelino.

Amasonang Puti

Stacy, known later as Amasonang Puti (White Amazon), was once a scorned girlfriend of Cervano before joining the Amasonas. From her group, she is cursed with a conscience, and must struggle every time if she will do good or evil. Her weapon is a spiked ball attached to a chain which she uses to hit her enemies and/or make them immobilized by bounding them with the chain. Later, Stacy joins her former boyfriend's force, the Zaido. In the end, Stacy and Rhea tell Cervano that they've become close friends.

Amasonang Puti/Stacy is played by Arci Muñoz.

Amasonang Kahel

Another girlfriend of Cervano scorned, Amasonang Kahel (Orange Amazon), known as Rhea, becomes more aggressive after she becomes part of the Kuuma Empire. With her expertise in guns and her sharp eye for shooting, she will prove to be a formidable enemy. Rhea would become an ally to Zaido Squad before the final battle. She shoots Siba-tiba while saving Amy. In the end, Stacy and Rhea tell Cervano that they've become close friends.

Vaness del Moral played the role of Amasonang Kahel/Rhea.

If this monster grows stronger, it turns the victims (including Amy) into plants. Dr. Eng named the plant as "Mimosa Negra" because of the dark color it has. When Tinik-ik is in its true form, it is somewhat resembled The Undead Joker of Masked Rider Blade. Destroyed by Zaido Green in a Time Space Warp battle. Tinik-ik was revived by Le-ar but later killed again by Zaido Green in the final battle.

Other members

Armida (impostor)

The real Armida used to be mother of Gallian and the queen of Nalax who died during the Kuuma-supported coup by Izcaruz.  The Kuuma made the clone of her image (same as Arianna/Carmela) so that they would infiltrate the Galactic Force and kill Gallian. Unknown to Gallian, she and "Arianna" wanted him to believe them and they want to put Commander Zion and Carmela (the real Arianna) in "execution". Zion and Gallian finds out that Armida is an impostor which was made by Kuuma. Killed by Amy so that she would activate Zaido badge to make Gallian, Alexis, and Cervano transform.

Pinky Amador played Armida (real and impostor).

Arianna (impostor)

The clone of Arianna (Carmela) which was made by Kuuma. She attempts to kill Gallian but later was killed by him.

Arianna impostor was played by Diana Zubiri, who also played Carmela (real Arianna).

Sigma

Known as Alexis Lorenzo (Zaido Green). He joined the forces of evil after his biological father, Drigo saved him from Gallian's attack. Le-ar made him a disciple of Kuuma and named him Sigma. Like his father, he commanded the revived monsters to bring forth the chaos on Earth. Despite this, he didn't kill his mother and he's also a descendant of Shaider. Armed with a blade which is somewhat similar to Zaido Blade. He and his brother Alvaro witness the death of their mother Helen (Shanara) who was killed by Le-ar. His "Sigma" alias breaks off and later returns as Zaido Green in which he forgives Gallian and Cervano for his wrong things.

Sigma is played by Marky Cielo, who is also behind of Zaido Green/Alexis. Thus, his character, Alexis, made himself an anti-hero.

Gamma

Known as Alvaro Lorenzo. When Kuumas retrieved his dead body, Ida revived him by putting a water of Herabim which can revive any living things. He sent to Earth to invade as Gamma. His mission is to kill Zaido Blue (Gallian) and Zaido Red (Cervano) but failed. He targeted Zaido Green but knew that he's Alexis. He convinced him to join the Kuuma forces. Armed with gamma ray laser gun. He and his brother Alexis witness the death of their mother Helen who was killed by Le-ar. Alvaro becomes an ally to Zaido Squad in the final battle and his alter-ego wears off.

Gamma/Alvaro Lorenzo is portrayed by Raymart Santiago.

Shadow
Known as Toby Mendoza who used to be Cervano's friend and styled himself as "Zaido Gold". He convinced Cervano to join the Zaido but declined. He became Shadow, Zaido-like enemy. He was defeated by Zaido Squad. After his defeat and disappearance, he was revived by Le-ar to seek revenge once again. However, he was defeated by Amasonas in the final battle.

Shadow/Toby Mendoza is played by Gian Carlos.

Time Space Warp

The Time Space Warp is an alternate universe with various traps and other dimensions. Some of the traps used in this realm are designed to match the monster's theme. Also seen are grunts and minions that assist the monster against each Zaido. The temperature in this dimension reaches about 6,000 degrees Celsius. The primary purpose of this dimension is to enhance Kuuma monster's powers and abilities for about 4 times, giving it the upper hand against each Zaido. When Kuuma Le-Ar calls for the Time Space Warp, Ida will summon it to draw the beast inside, thereby luring each Zaido to follow it into Fuuma territory. A constant threat each Zaido faces while inside this dimension is a Kuuma gunship; for this reason, he calls on Avilo, using either its giant blaster or robot form to destroy the gunship.

Despite an upgrade in its fighting strength, a Kuuma monster can still be destroyed by each Zaido while inside the Time Space Warp. This, in turn, will dissolve the warp until the next time it is summoned again. Ida's phrase in Tagalog is "Time Space Warp, ngayon din!" (Strange Dimension, Now!)

The family name originated with the adoption by Lt. Nigel Walter Henry Legge, of the Coldstream Guards (whose father, Hon. Sir Henry Charles Legge, K.C.V.O., descended from the Earls of Dartmouth), of the additional surname of 'Bourke', by Royal Licence, 26 April 1911, on succeeding to the estate of the Hon. Henry Lorton Bourke, of Hayes, Co. Meath, a descendant of the Earls of Mayo. Henry Lorton Bourke and Henry Charles Legge's wives were both daughters of Gustavus William Lambart (his eldest son was created a baronet); when Bourke and his wife died without issue, his estate was inherited by his nephew.

Coppia ferrarese , also known as ciopa, ciupeta and pane ferrarese, is a type of sourdough bread made with flour, lard, malt, and olive oil, and has a twisted shape. It was first made around the thirteenth century in Ferrara, Italy. It has PGI status under European Union law, which was obtained in 2001.

History
The first record of special regulations regarding bread making in Ferrara date from a statute in 1287. The first mention of a bread similar to current coppia ferrarese dates from 1536 when, according to Cristoforo da Messisbugo, the Duke of Este was offered a pane ritorto ("woven bread") during the Carnival. The tradition of cooking this sort of bread remained throughout history until the unification of Italy. In 2001, the recipe gained PGI status under European Union law.

Regulations require certain conditions, such as a maximum humidity of between 12 and 15% and that it be sold within twenty four hours.

Cultural impact
Coppia ferrarese is a staple of the culture of the city of Ferrara, and has been named as one of the two most critical part of the cuisine (alongside a specialist salami). In 2008, Folco Quilici recounts how his family would quickly bring any conversation with strangers around to the bread. It is named the best bread in the world by Riccardo Bacchelli in Il mulino del Po while Corrado Govoni talks of "Il nostro Pane: orgoglio di noi ferraresi. Dono dell'aria, dell'acqua, dell'uomo. Offerta generosa di Ferrara al mondo" ("Our Bread: pride of us from Ferrara. Gift of air, water, of man. Generous gift of Ferrara to the world").

Entertainment UK Limited (EUK) was a retail supply and distribution company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Woolworths Group. The company, and Woolworths plc, entered administration with Deloitte on 26 November 2008. EUK claimed to have had a turnover in excess of £1.4 billion per annum, and over 160,000 lines of products.

History
Entertainment UK was founded as Record Merchandisers Limited in 1966 by EMI Records to distribute music to non-specialist retailers. It later became a joint venture between a number of record companies. Woolworths became Entertainment UK's largest customer and in 1986 Record Merchandisers Limited was acquired by Kingfisher plc. In 1988, Record Merchandisers Limited changed its name to Entertainment UK (EUK).

EUK became the property of Woolworths Group after the demerger from parent company Kingfisher in 2001. In 2006, Woolworths Group acquired Total Home Entertainment Distribution Limited (THE) to form part of EUK division. In November 2007 EUK acquired Bertram Books, a major book wholesaler and distributor.

Administration
EUK was the most profitable arm of Woolworths Group and it was this portion of the business that the management hoped to retain when it attempted to divest itself of its retail arm and its liabilities. However, with the failure of the restructuring talks EUK went into administration with its parent company on the 28 November and immediately stopped deliveries. On 12 December 2008, 700 staff were made redundant. EUK continued to operate with a reduced workforce of 375. On 14 January 2009, Deloitte announced a further reduction of 134 employees across all 4 of EUK's remaining sites, and is continuing in its efforts to sell any remaining stock within the warehouses in order to service the debt.

Following a number of "active discussions" with prospective suitors of Bertram Books, the administrators announced the sale of the company to Smiths News.

On 13 March 2009, Gardners Books based in Eastbourne, East Sussex visited Entertainment UK's Greenford Auriol Drive site for talks about a possible purchase of the lease to the automated warehouse, and at one point it was believed that a deal totalling £1,500,000 was struck to purchase the lease.

The Entertainment UK business was eventually officially dissolved on 20 April 2015.

Awards and acclaims
In 2005 and 2006, Entertainment UK was given 'The European Supply Chain Excellence' and 'The Global Retail Technology Forum' awards respectively in addition to the 'Best Retail Buying Team' at 2006 MCV Industry Excellence Awards.

Operations
Entertainment UK supplied many major retailers and signed new partnerships with Zavvi (formerly Virgin Megastores) and Asda in 2007. Other notable customers included  Morrisons, Sainsbury's, W H Smith, Tesco and the Borders UK entertainment back catalogue. It also ran two Amazon Marketplace stores on Amazon.co.uk; "market plus", run by the offshore subsidiary Entertainment Plus (Guernsey) Ltd, and "direct-offers", the UK based stock clearance arm of Entertainment UK.

As a consequence of EUK entering administration, Zavvi became unable to source stock on favourable terms from other supplies. It entered administration on 24 December 2008.

USS Warren (APA-53) was a Sumter-class attack transport that served with the US Navy during World War II. She was named for Founding Father and American Revolutionary War hero Joseph Warren.

Jean Lafitte - named for the legendary pirate of Barataria, Louisiana, who assisted General Andrew Jackson in defending New Orleans against the British in 1815 - was a C2-S-E1-type merchant ship laid down under a Maritime Commission contract (MC hull 475) on 19 April 1942 at Chickasaw, Alabama, by the Gulf Shipbuilding Corporation. She was launched on 7 September 1942; renamed Warren and classified a transport, AP-98; redesignated as an attack transport, APA-53, on 1 February 1943; and placed in commission, in ordinary, on 19 February 1943.

Taken to the Key Highway plant of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation soon thereafter, the ship was decommissioned on 10 March 1943; and was recommissioned on 2 August 1943.

World War II
Warren soon sailed south to the Norfolk Navy Yard, where the work converting her to an attack transport was completed and she was fitted out for service.  She next conducted her shakedown and type training in the waters of Chesapeake Bay.  In intensive exercises, the ship practiced the amphibious tactics and techniques that she would soon be putting into practice.

On 1 November 1943, Warren departed Hampton Roads and headed for Panama, reaching the Canal Zone on the 5th after a brief stop at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, en route.  Following her transit of the Panama Canal, Warren pushed on for San Diego and reached that California port on 17 November.  The ship subsequently underwent repairs and a drydocking at Long Beach before she returned to San Diego for more amphibious training.  From 26 November 1943 to 13 January 1944, Warren landed troops of the 4th Marine Division in practice assaults at Aliso Canyon and San Clemente Island.

Invasion of Kwajalein

On the latter day, Friday 13 January 1944, Warren sailed for the Central Pacific with men of the 1st Battalion, 25th Marine Regiment, 4th Marine Division, embarked.  Steaming via the Hawaiian Islands, the attack transport arrived off the northern islets of Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshalls at dawn on 31 January.

The marines embarked in Warren were assigned the task of taking two small islands in the atoll, nicknamed "Ivan" and "Jacob."  Those isles lay to the south of Roi and Namur, two heavily fortified areas of the atoll.  Her marines were to secure both a guarded passage into the lagoon and artillery bases from which to soften up the defenses on the main islands, Roi and Namur, in support of the landings slated to take place the following day.  The initial men ashore encountered minor opposition, and the casualties sustained were very light.

Warren eased into the lagoon on 1 February and continued the process of discharging munitions and cargo for her troops ashore.  After a channel had been blasted through the coral, the attack transport's beach party supervised the arrival of supplies on "Ivan."  Warren herself remained in the lagoon with other ships from her division for the next five days. Warren departed Kwajalein on 4 February, leaving the island still smoking "and reeking with the stench of unburied dead."  As the ship's commanding officer later wrote, "we knew now the horror of war."

Sailing southward, the attack transport reached Funafuti in the Ellice Islands on 9 February, before she continued onward, arriving at Noumea, New Caledonia, on 19 February.  She ultimately weighed anchor from New Caledonian waters on 7 March and got underway for Guadalcanal - the scene of once-bitter fighting.  She arrived off Lunga Point on the morning of the 10th and spent the majority of her days over the next three months in the Guadalcanal-Tulagi area.  The only exceptions were trips to Kwajalein to pick up Marines from the 22nd Marine Regiment and to Cape Gloucester—where she landed the troops from elements of the Army's 40th Infantry Division and returned to the Russells with men of the 1st Marine Division embarked.

Invasion of Guam

At the end of May, Warren completed the loading of the men of the 3rd Battalion, 3rd Regiment, 3rd Marine Division, and headed north in convoy—her objective Guam, where she was to debark the Marines after their comrades had landed at Saipan in the Marianas.

However, because of the fierceness of the Japanese resistance on Saipan, Warren mission was aborted; and she spent over a week cruising off that island, standing by with her Marines forming a reserve force.  Ultimately, however, Warren'''s leathernecks were not needed, and the ship returned to Eniwetok, to commence a three-week stay in the Marshall Islands.Warren then sailed for Guam, sending boatloads of men from the 3rd Marine Division ashore on 20 July.  Over the ensuing five days, Warren remained off the bitterly contested beaches, her beach party lying pinned down in their foxholes ashore.  "So perilous was the position on the Warren beach - the left flank of the assault", wrote Warren commanding officer, "that supplies could not be landed there."  Time and time again, Warrens hospital corpsmen exposed themselves to enemy fire evacuating wounded Marines, and the ship's boat crews went to the reef's edge to pick up men under enemy mortar fire.

Invasion of Peleliu

After departing Guam on 25 July, Warren evacuated marine casualties to Espiritu Santo.  She then shifted to the Russell Islands in the Solomons, where she embarked men of the 1st Battalion, 1st Regiment, 1st Marine Brigade - combat veterans of the Guadalcanal campaign.  The attack transport then took those combat-hardened marines to the island of Peleliu in the Palaus.  Despite the carrier-based air strikes and intense bombardment which preceded the initial landings of 15 September, the marines who went ashore that day still met fierce resistance from the Japanese defenders.  The enemy, firmly entrenched in caves and tunnels that honeycombed the hills overlooking the beach and the strategic airfield, proved difficult to dislodge.

Again, Warrens beach party worked to keep the supplies flowing from the ship to shore where they were needed, providing the necessary supplies and ammunition for the hard-pressed marines.  Meanwhile, as the casualties began coming back to the ship, the attack transport's medical department worked diligently to save the wounded.  Among the first ships to discharge her cargo, Warren remained offshore in the ensuing days, becoming a floating hospital, as doctors and corpsmen worked to sustain lives of men evacuated from "the flaming hell of Peleliu."

The routine remained almost the same during the days and nights that Warren lay off the beachhead.  Each night there would be more burials at sea while the crew waited at battle stations for what became almost a regular visit by snooping Japanese planes.  It was not until 22 September that Warren departed Pelelieu, bound for New Guinea.

Invasion of Leyte

She arrived at Hollandia on 25 September and stayed there until 15 October, when she embarked the men and equipment of the Army's 52nd Field Artillery, 24th Division Artillery, 24th Infantry Division.  As part of TG 78.6, she subsequently sailed for the Philippine Islands, as General Douglas MacArthur made good his pledge to return - this time well-backed by ships, men, and planes - to the islands from which he had been forced to leave in 1942.

On 22 October - two days after the initial landings on Leyte commenced - Warren discharged her cargo and disembarked her troops before pulling out of the area that evening. Warren returned to Leyte on 14 November, this time with six Red Cross nurses in addition to the Army 1st Battalion, 127th Regiment, 32nd Infantry Division.  The attack transport's commanding officer later recounted, "We all recalled that old superstition of the sea--'women on board ship bring bad luck'--when a Jap torpedo plane came close to hitting us with its deadly charge the afternoon before we sailed into Leyte Gulf." The enemy aircraft, a torpedo-carrying "Jill", bore in at the attack transport through flak.  Only at the last instant a shell from the after  gun blew the right wing off the "Jill", sending the plane sliding past Warrens fantail and into the sea.  Later that day, the attack transport witnessed other air attacks in her vicinity and watched while an Army Air Force Lockheed P-38 Lightning darted daringly through the flak to blow up a Japanese fighter in mid-air with a burst from her machine guns.

Leyte was still a hot target, so Warren'''s unloading was efficient and rapid, discharging her cargo within a few hours and getting underway that evening and then slipping away in the darkness, bound for New Guinea.  After stopping at Manus, in the Admiralties, and Oro Bay, Warren reached Milne Bay, New Guinea, on 27 November.  The attack transport remained at Milne Bay through Christmas Day.

Invasion of Luzon

Underway on 26 December 1944, Warren picked up her convoy at Manus and then set out for Leyte again on 2 January 1945.  Nine days later, she reached Lingayen Gulf off Luzon where the ship lost the first members of her crew to enemy action.

The first boat to leave the ship during the landings carried half of Warrens beach party, along with several members of the Army shore party embarked.  Due to the heavy smoke screen and a faulty boat compass, the landing craft landed on a Japanese held beach near the town of Damortis.  It was a fatal mistake.  Before it could get underway, the boat came under artillery, mortar, and machine gun fire, wrecking the vessel, killing several men, and wounding others.  The remaining men abandoned the craft and began to swim away from the beach, but the Japanese automatic weapons opened up on them as they struggled to get out of range.  Only 17 men out of 28 survived the deadly hail of fire.  It was two hours before the survivors - many of them badly wounded - were picked up.

By their firing on Warrens boat, the Japanese gave away positions that pre-attack bombardments and bombings had not reached.  Accordingly, the destroyer  and two fast transports moved in close and joined Army heavy artillery in bombarding the area until all opposition was completely silenced.

"Friendly fire" casualties

On the 13th, a Japanese plane came out of the clouds off the ship's port bow, apparently intent on crashing into Warren.  Antiaircraft guns opened fire.  While still several hundred yards away from the attack transport, the plane leveled off, swooped directly over Warren and headed for attack transport .

As Warrens men watched, horror-stricken, the kamikaze plunged headlong into Zeilin. Warren herself was raked by machine-gun fire from a "friendly" ship.  Shells coming from the port quarter pounded the attack transport's port side.  One man of her boat group, manning a gun in the cockpit in one of the ship's landing craft, was killed outright.  On the flying bridge alone, there were 22 casualties.

Warren completed her unloading on 15 January and departed.  Ultimately, the attack transport completed one last voyage carrying troops, landing the men of the 1st Battalion, 163rd Regiment, 41st Infantry Division, at Mindoro in the Philippines, after lifting them from Biak Island, New Guinea.  Later discharging all surplus supplies and all but two of her landing craft, Warren steamed eastward via Eniwetok and stopped at Pearl Harbor on 18 March, before heading on toward the west coast of the United States on 20 March.

Transport mission to Okinawa
Reaching Portland, Oregon, on the 27th, Warren underwent an overhaul there, lasting into June 1945.  Subsequently, shifting to San Diego and then to San Francisco, the attack transport departed the west coast on 24 June, bound for the Marshalls, and arrived at Eniwetok on 6 July.  From there, she sailed via Ulithi to Okinawa and arrived off that island on 23 July.  Over the next few days, Warren unloaded the men and material of the 66th Construction Battalion ("Seabees"), undergoing nearly constant air raid alerts as the enemy maintained its pressure on the invading Americans.

From 1 to 3 August, Warren steamed in circles off Okinawa, riding on the outer edge of a typhoon, and sailed for Ulithi on the 6th.  Arriving at her destination soon thereafter, Warren lay at anchor in Ulithi lagoon when the word of Japan's capitulation was received.

After hostilities
Warren put into Cebu harbor to load units of the Army's Americal Division; but, before she embarked those troops, her orders were changed.  Instead, she was to proceed to Manila.  There, she embarked the troops of the Army's 43rd Division and headed for Tokyo Bay, reaching that body of water on 13 September, less than two weeks after the formal surrender ceremony on board the battleship .

The attack transport subsequently sailed for Okinawa, where she embarked men of the 1st Battalion, 5th Regiment, 1st Marine Division, and their equipment.  She sailed from Okinawan waters on 29 September and reached the mouth of the Taku River - the approaches to the city of Tientsin, China - on 2 October.  She thus completed the second of her occupation tasks, disembarking the marines over the ensuing days.

Warren departed Taku Bar on 11 October and reached Manila a few days later.  She then left Philippine waters for a three-day voyage across the South China Sea to the Gulf of Tonkin.  Reaching Haiphong on 26 October, Warren embarked 1,800 troops of the Chinese 52nd Army before she departed that port, bound for Manchuria.

However, because of unsettled conditions between Chinese Communist and Nationalist forces in Manchuria - a part of the brewing civil war that would reach its climax in the expulsion of the Nationalists from mainland China to Formosa in 1949 - Warren sailed instead to Chinwangtao, China, the seaport at the base of the Great Wall.  There, she debarked her passengers on 7 November.  Two days later, Warren dropped down the coast for her second visit to Taku and Tientsin.

Operation Magic Carpet
On 16 November, Warren sailed for Manila and participation in the mass movement of men back to the continental United States, Operation Magic Carpet.  After lifting a contingent of seabees to Guam at the end of November, Warren streamed a "homeward bound" pennant on 1 December and set her course for the California coast.

Decommission
Reaching San Francisco on 17 December, Warren remained at that west coast port until 14 January 1946, when she got underway for New Orleans.  Transiting the Panama Canal soon thereafter, Warren pushed on to the coast of the Gulf of Mexico.  Decommissioned on 14 March 1946, Warren was struck from the Navy list on 17 April 1946 and turned over to the War Shipping Administration on 1 August of the same year at Mobile, Alabama.

Decorations
Warren received five battle stars for World War II service.

Commercial service
Subsequently, acquired by the Waterman Steamship Corporation, the ship apparently kept her original name Jean Lafitte, for only a short time.  Renamed Arizpa in 1947, the former attack transport was converted for merchant service and operated under the Waterman house flag until 1966, when she appeared on contemporary merchant vessels registers as operating with Litton Industries Leasing Corp. of Wilmington, Delaware.

Arizpa operated with Litton until 1976, when she was transferred to the Reynolds Leading Corp., also of Wilmington. At some stage she was converted into a container vessel for Sea-Land Service. She was reportedly scrapped at Brownsville, Texas in September 1977.

Entertainment journalism is any form of journalism that focuses on popular culture and the entertainment business and its products. Like fashion journalism, entertainment journalism covers industry-specific news while targeting general audiences beyond those working in the industry itself. Common forms include lifestyle, television and film, theater, music, video game, and celebrity coverage.

Comparison with news journalism
News journalism deals with information of current events or reports of events that have previously occurred. The main purpose of this type of journalism is to inform. Entertainment journalism deals with information of the entertainment industry such as films, television shows, events, music, fashion and video games among others. The main purpose of this type of journalism is to entertain. In this area of journalism, however, it is not just about the pure reproduction of facts, as the Central European journalist Norman Schenz sums it up: "We no longer just write about an event, we tell stories"

Journalists can skew facts in a particular matter that cause their story to come across as entertainment. This action can have a profound effect on the consumer, making the authenticity of the report questionable. Cases of this problem can occur in news articles, magazines, and documentaries.

Popular forms

Lifestyle and celebrity
This is focused on celebrities and their lifestyles and feeds off television soap operas, reality television, members of royal families, and the like. Red carpet reporting and interviewing of celebrities during film festivals and award shows are part of entertainment journalism.

Film
A review or analysis of a motion picture released to the public. The critic's review or analysis is subjective and informative, with a focus to inform and entertain the consumer. Film criticism is considered to have had a major impact on the integration of the cinema into mainstream media. It is stated that film criticism wasn't fully accepted as an art until film was widely accepted in the 1960s. The Internet has further advanced the acceptance of this entertainment journalism with the introduction of film blogs and film review sites. Some popular film review sites and blogs include Rotten Tomatoes, IMDb, thatGossip and Metacritic.

Video game
A form of journalism that covers all aspects of the video game industry. The birth of the computer age in the 1990s forced media companies to release content that would attract consumers in the video game generation. Visually stimulating print magazines were introduced into the market, covering the video game industry. Some popular video game review sites and print based magazines include IGN, Game Informer, Nintendo Power, and GameSpot.

Internet
The rise of the internet allowed many amateur and semi-professional personalities to start their own blogs and personal fan sites relating to entertainment journalism.

The Me Too movement can trace its roots to entertainment journalism as the centrepiece of it is Harvey Weinstein, a Hollywood mogul who not only produced independent and blockbuster films but has also worked on television and theater.

WMML (1230 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a classic country format. Licensed to Glens Falls, New York, United States, the station serves the Glens Falls area.  Established in 1959 as WSET, the station is owned by Pamal Broadcasting, through licensee 6 Johnson Road Licenses, Inc.

History
What is now WMML began operations in 1959 as WSET, programming a middle of the road format; for a time, the station studios were located in the Queensbury Hotel in Glens Falls. In 1965, WSET changed its call letters to WBZA; the new call letters arose from the station owner's respect for WBZ in Boston. At the time, the station broadcast at 1410 AM with a "daytime only" license from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).  At sunset each day, the station would leave the air until the next day at 6 a.m. In 1971, the format was changed to Top 40. During the later 1970s, WBZA evolved to more of an adult contemporary format, and it eventually changed frequencies to 1230 in late 1982. WBZA flipped formats in 1986 to nostalgia, calling itself "Real Music". The WBZA call letters were transferred 1410 AM (which had returned to the air in 1988 under a new license as WSTL) in 1998; at that time, the station changed its call letters to WMML and took on a sports format.

The station signed off the air in early 2012 to build a new antenna and returned to the air in March. It was announced, when the station signed back on March 15, that WMML would be joining the New York Mets Radio Network, covering all 162 games, replacing WOFX, who decided to switch to the Boston Red Sox Radio Network for the 2012 season.

On March 9, 2023, WMML/W250CC flipped to classic country, assuming the format and branding of WKBE, as "Big Country 97.9"; this was intended to make room for a new format to debut on WKBE. After weeks of broadcasting on both 107.1 and 97.9, WKLI-FM began simulcasting on WKBE as "100.9/107.1 The Cat" on March 21, 2023.

On September 18, 2023, WMML/W250CC began simulcasting WINU 104.9 Altamont, rebranding as "Big Country 104.9 & 97.9".

Licensed in Ticonderoga, New York, United States, the station served mainly Essex County, New York and Addison County, Vermont from a transmitter site on Lake Champlain near Fort Ticonderoga. The station was owned by Bisiblue, L.L.C.

History
WIPS started in July 1955 as an AM station located on Route 74 in Ticonderoga. The studio and its transmitter were both located on the shores of Lake Champlain. In 1981, a fire burned the original studios to the ground. Limestone Communications ran WIPS for a while, eventually adding an FM station on 103.9 MHz (WXTY, now WANC). While WIPS broadcast from sunrise to sunset originally, the station was later allowed to broadcast after sunset with 85 watts. After Bisiblue purchased the station, the WIPS studios were located in Crown Point, New York, 12 miles from the original site. WIPS broadcast the Timeless Favorites format from ABC Radio.

After losing thousands of dollars per month, WIPS went silent on February 29, 2008. According to reporter Scott Fybush, WIPS went back on the air shortly before its license was scheduled to be deleted in April 2009. WIPS was eventually deleted two years later, on August 4, 2011, as Bisiblue, LLC asked to cancel the license; in its request, Bisiblue noted that the station had been silent since October 30, 2009, and that under federal law the WIPS license had effectively expired on October 30, 2010.

In January 2018, the WIPS name was reused by J. Walter Broadcasting (a company controlled by Robert Streeter) for a group of Internet radio stations, featuring six music formats and local news for Ticonderoga.  However, the project failed six weeks after launch owing to financial mismanagement, and fraud.  A criminal investigation into Robert Streeter and the WIPS operation was launched by the Ticonderoga Police Department.

WENU (1410 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a soft oldies format simulcasting WROW out of Albany. Licensed to South Glens Falls, New York, United States, the station serves the Glens Falls area.  Established in 1988 as WSTL, the station is owned by Pamal Broadcasting.

History

First usage of frequency in Glens Falls

1410 AM went on the air as WSET in 1959, programming a middle of the road format; for a time, the station studios were located in the Queensbury Hotel in Glens Falls. In 1965, WSET changed its call letters to WBZA; the new call letters arose from the station owner's respect for WBZ in Boston. WSET and WBZA broadcast at 1410 AM with a "daytime only" license from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).  At sunset each day, the station would leave the air until the next day at 6am. In 1971, the format was flipped to Top 40. During the later 1970s, WBZA evolved to more of an adult contemporary format, and it eventually changed frequencies to 1230, in late 1982; that station is now WMML, a sister station to WENU.

Current station

From 1982 to 1988, the 1410 frequency previously occupied by WBZA was off the air, until returning as country music station WSTL in 1988. The station took on the WBZA call letters in early January 1998, and changed again in September 2000 to the current WENU.

During the early 2000s, WENU was a simulcast of WENU-FM, now WNYQ, with an adult standards format.  When the FM changed to AC, WENU remained with adult standards.  More recently, WENU flipped to a classic country format.

On January 30, 2012, WENU, along with sister station WMML, signed off the air, as the antenna in Queensbury, New York, was torn down to allow a new antenna to be put up in place.  WENU returned to the air with a new nickname, "The U" on March 15, 2012 and a greater focus on community news coverage. WENU's new signal allows people in northern Warren County and southern Saratoga County to hear the station.

WENU's classic country format came to an end on February 22, 2013; the following day, the station switched to a sports radio format supplied by CBS Sports Radio. On January 3, 2019, WENU dropped CBS Sports Radio and began simulcasting WROW, its sister station in Albany which carries a soft oldies format.
