Proposed deletion of Viktors Birze

The article Viktors Birze has been proposed for deletion  because of the following concern:
 * Unsourced BLP. Found a couple of refs, but clearly fails POLITICIAN, and since references are to him being prosecuted for a crime, their inclusion would make this BLP entirely negative in tone.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Heimssýn

Heimssýn (English: World View) is an organisation of Icelandic eurosceptics who actively campaign against Iceland becoming of a member of the European Union founded in June 2002. It was founded in June 2002. Ragnar Arnalds, former MP and Minister of Finance, served as chairman of the organisation from its foundation until 2009. The current chairman is Jón Bjarnason, former Member of the Althing and Minister of Agriculture, and the vice-chairman is Jóhanna María Sigmundsdóttir, Member of the Althing for the nationalist Progressive Party. The organization is sponsored by Bændasamtök Íslands, an agrarian lobby group of Icelandic farmers, and receives free advertising in their newspaper Bændablaðið.

Criticism
Heimssýn has gained criticism for factual errors, false allegation and "fear-mongering" in their propaganda. The organization claimed in television adverts prominently featured in 2012 that accession to the European Union would be a direct eradication of Icelandic national identity, independence and lead to an unrecoverable loss of individual freedom. Such claims have been in their entirety dismissed by experts at the University of Iceland. When the current Icelandic government attempted to withdraw Iceland's application for membership to the European Union, then party chairman and representative of the government Vigdis Hauksdottir defended the government's decision by claiming that Europe was suffering from widespread famine and alleged that Malta could not be compared to Iceland when discussing membership as a result of it being a county within a larger country. Both of these allegations were condemned by members of the Icelandic intelligentsia and representatives of Unicef.

Hal Smith (actor)

Harold John Smith (August 24, 1916 – January 28, 1994) was an American actor. He is credited in over 300 film and television productions, and was best known for his role as Otis Campbell, the town drunk on CBS's The Andy Griffith Show and for voicing Owl and Winnie the Pooh (replacing Sterling Holloway) in the first four original Winnie the Pooh shorts (the first three of which were combined into the feature film The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh) and later Winnie the Pooh Discovers the Seasons, Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore and in the television series, Welcome to Pooh Corner and The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. He also did a cameo in The Apartment as a drunken Santa Claus.

Early life
Harold John Smith was born on August 24, 1916, in Petoskey, Michigan to Jay D. Smith and Emma Smith (nee Ploof). He was the third of four children with two older sisters—Kathleen and Bernadeen—and one younger brother named Glenford, who was called "Glen". After graduation from high school, in Massena New York, Smith worked from 1936 to 1943 as a DJ and voice talent for WIBX Radio in Utica, New York.

Being an avid flyer, Smith enlisted in the United States Army Air Forces in 1943 and was stationed in the Philippines with the Army's Special Services Division. While in Manila, he was made assistant manager of the enlisted men's club at the Far East Air Force (FEAF) headquarters. As such, he was responsible for planning and directing shows for the entertainment of his fellow troops. His own performing skills were utilized as well in a show titled Strictly from Hunger. He was discharged from the service in 1946 as a Sergeant and was awarded the American Campaign Medal, the Asiatic–Pacific Campaign Medal, the World War II Victory Medal and the Philippine Liberation Medal.

Early roles
After the war, he traveled to Hollywood in 1946 to pursue a career as an actor, he made his acting debut in the feature film, Stars Over Texas as Peddler Tucker. He would later appear in many television series throughout his later career, such as I Married Joan, Fury, The People's Choice, The Texan, Rescue 8, Dennis the Menace, The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, The Donna Reed Show, National Velvet and The Red Skelton Show.

The Andy Griffith Show
Smith's best-remembered on-screen character was Otis Campbell, the town drunk on The Andy Griffith Show, during most of the series' run from 1960 to 1967. When intoxicated, he would often comically let himself into his regular jail cell—using the key which was stored within reach of the two comfortable jail rooms— and "sleep off" the effects of alcohol. Deputy Barney Fife would often become irritated with Otis and would attempt to either sober him up or rehabilitate him in several episodes.

Hal Smith was the opposite of his character. According to longtime friends Andy Griffith and Don Knotts, he did not drink in real life. Smith, however, in a 1964 interview with his hometown paper, said he was a “social drinker.” The Otis character stopped appearing in the sitcom towards the end of the series because of sponsor concerns regarding the comic portrayal of excessive drinking. Smith appeared as Calver Weems in the Don Knotts comedy The Ghost and Mr. Chicken (1966), playing essentially the same town drunk character.

Smith would play Otis one more time in the television movie Return to Mayberry (1986). In the television movie, Otis is the town's ice cream truck driver and is reported to have been "sober for years.” Smith later used his Otis Campbell character in commercial spots for the Mothers Against Drunk Driving organization, and he appeared as Otis in Alan Jackson's music video "Don't Rock the Juke Box.”

Other performances
In 1957, Smith played Rollin Daggett in the role of a newspaper man in the early days of Mark Twain in the "Fifteen Paces to Fame" episode of Death Valley Days. He made at least one appearance in the TV series Perry Mason, the episode titled "The Case of the Treacherous Toupee", (season 4, episode 1), in 1960. He had a small role as a restaurant manager in the 10/01/1960 Leave It to Beaver episode "Beaver Won't Eat". Smith had a cameo role as the Mayor of Boracho in The Great Race in 1965. He played the industrialist Hans Spear on CBS's sitcom Hogan's Heroes ("The Swing Shift", season 2, episode 21).

He portrayed King Theseus of Rhodes in The Three Stooges Meet Hercules (1965) and later provided various voices for the cartoon series The New 3 Stooges.

In 1967, he played John Wilson in the 1967 episode "The Man Who Didn't Want Gold" of the syndicated Western series Death Valley Days and Mr. Weber in The Lucy Show.

In 1969, Smith had a cameo role as a drunk driver in the Adam-12 episode "Log 51: A Jumper – Code Two". Also in 1969, he appeared in the Petticoat Junction episode "The Great Race". He played Jug Gunderson, a moonshiner that helped the Cannonball train win the aforementioned race. Though his character was never seen drinking or drunk, by the end of the episode, he makes an oath to himself to stop drinking and reform.

In the mid-1960s, Smith also had a morning children's show on the Los Angeles television station KHJ called The Pancake Man, sponsored by the International House of Pancakes (IHOP) restaurant chain. He reprised the role of the Pancake Man as "Kartoon King" in the 1971 episode of The Brady Bunch, titled "The Winner". He also played Mother Goose in the X-rated animated feature film Once Upon a Girl in 1976.

Voice acting
Smith also worked extensively as a voice actor in animated films and television series. His first voice credit was as "Pepe", a boxing rooster, in Walter Lantz's cartoon "The Bongo Punch" in 1957. Beginning in the late 1950s with such shows as The Huckleberry Hound Show and Quick Draw McGraw, Smith became one of the most prolific voice actors in Hollywood, eventually working with most of the major studios and production companies, such as Hanna-Barbera, Walt Disney, Warner Bros., the Mirisch Corporation, and Sid and Marty Krofft, with voice roles on such series as The Flintstones in which he mostly did the voices of Texas millionaires such as Fred's rich uncle Tex, Pink Panther, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Mickey Mouse, Yogi Bear and Looney Tunes.

In 1962, he voiced Taurus, the Scots-accented mechanic of the spaceship Starduster for the series Space Angel. According to the book: Space Patrol, missions of daring in the name of early television, "It's rumored that Gene Roddenberry was a huge fan of the show and patterned Star Trek's engineer, Mr. Scott, after McCloud's Scottish sidekick, Taurus". He also did voices for the Hong Kong Phooey series. In 1977, he was the voice of Grandpa Josiah in the cartoon special, Halloween Is Grinch Night. That same year, he began voicing the Disney character Winnie the Pooh, replacing Sterling Holloway, who had provided the voice of the character for many years, beginning with the Disney Read-Along adaptation of Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too. He was also very active with doing voices in 1980s; he was Sludge in The Smurfs, Goofy in Mickey's Christmas Carol, in Disney's DuckTales he did the voices of Scrooge McDuck's rival Flintheart Glomgold and the absent-minded scientist Gyro Gearloose and in Frog And Toad are Friends and Frog And Toad Together he also did the voice of Toad.

Smith also voiced the Disney cartoon character Goofy after Pinto Colvig died in 1967 and would voice him up until Mickey's Christmas Carol in 1983. Additionally, he provided the voice of Owl in the two original Winnie the Pooh featurettes (Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree and Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day) and The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh in 1977. In the 1960s, he was one of the most sought after voice actors in Hollywood. From 1959 till 1975, he provided the voices for Goliath, Davey's dad and many other characters in Davey and Goliath. From 1960 to 1961, he was the voice of Elmer Fudd after Arthur Q. Bryan died. In 1963, he voiced Dr. Todd Goodheart, Belly Laguna, and Dr. Von Upp in The Funny Company cartoon series. From 1964 to 1966, he was the voice of Yappee in the Hanna-Barbera cartoon shorts Yippee, Yappee and Yahooey. He was also the voice of Cosgoode Creeps, Asa Shanks, the Farmer and Mr. Greenway, on Scooby-Doo, Where are You!.

In 1981, he reprised his role as Owl and Winnie the Pooh in the short Winnie the Pooh Discovers the Seasons. He then voiced the two characters in Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore in 1983, as well as Disney Channel's television series Welcome to Pooh Corner. On the television series The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh in 1988, Jim Cummings took over as Pooh while Smith continued playing Owl. The two voice actors sometimes rotated the voice of Winnie the Pooh. In 1991, Smith provided the voice of Philippe the Horse in the Disney film Beauty and the Beast before his death in 1994.

In 1985, Hal voiced Norman Harper, a sick father of wife Jennifer Walters (voiced by D.J. Harner), in a radio drama entitled "House Guest". It aired on the Focus on the Family daily broadcast on November 23 (the day before Thanksgiving) of that year. He went to voice other roles for other Focus audio presentations, and starting in 1987, Smith was the voice of the main character John Avery Whittaker on Focus on the Family's longest-running radio drama Adventures in Odyssey, which debuted that year. He was responsible for much of the cast joining the show after he signed on (including Katie Leigh, Will Ryan, Walker Edmiston, Earl Boen, Dave Madden and others), and he continued recording episodes until a few weeks before his death, even while his health deteriorated. In an Andy Griffith Fan Interview, published after he died, Smith said that Adventures in Odyssey was one of the most gratifying things he had done in his life. Additionally, he voiced dozens of other characters during the 253 episodes in which he participated. His role of Whit was later filled by Paul Herlinger in 1996 and then Andre Stojka in 2009, after his death.

Hal voiced Joe McGee in "The Old Man and the Sea Duck" episode of TaleSpin.

Smith was also very active working in television commercials as various characters. He provided on-screen promotion for 3 Musketeers, United Van Lines, Hickory Farms, Toyota, Green Giant, General Mills, Mattel, Kellogg's, Pizza Hut, Chicken of the Sea, Ivory soap, Doctor Ross Dog Food, Pioneer Chicken, Bell Telephone Company, Coca-Cola, Chef Boyardee and hundreds of other advertising sponsors.

Personal life
Smith was married to Louise C. Smith from 1936 until her death in 1992. They had a son named Terry.

Death
After his wife died in 1992, Smith's own health began to deteriorate rapidly. On January 28, 1994, at the age of 77, Smith died from an apparent heart attack. Don Pitts, his longtime agent, said that Smith died at his home in Santa Monica, California, while he was listening to a nightly drama hour on radio.

Talk:Ford Triton engine

Isn't the Diesel engines labeled Power-stroke?

 * Yeah, all Ford truck Diesels are currently called Power Stroke. I'll fix that sometime... --SFoskett 12:56, Oct 15, 2004 (UTC)

Does any one else think that this article should be merged with the Ford Modular Engine one? After all, every "Triton" engine is a Modular engine. And as far as I know, the Triton moniker is just marketing for a modular engine used in a truck role. Undeuxtroiskid 07:23, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Restarting the Discussion to merge articles
Well I have read both articles and found that most of the data is duplicated and does not need to occupy 2 different articles. I'm starting a discussion as per Wikipedia code of editing and I want to know what everyone thinks before anything else is done. Please post your comments weather to keep separate (and show good reasoning) or merge together relevant information. Yours 13:18, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Modular is the whole engine family; Triton are truck only, no exceptions. There are some significant differences between truck and car engines, and a number of parts are not interchangable. Bits that have been replicated by do-gooders are usually removed. End of discussion. CJ DUB 05:33, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

While everyone opinion matters, I'm not resting to yours, this is a open discussion. Yes, the Triton are given to trucks only, but the engine is basically the same. Triton is a branding, not a specific engine. If you can show in a serious discussion that most of the information is not a duplication or a rehash, then OK I will concede, but please show a little professionalism to this discussion. Yours 00:55, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

The triton has different components CJ DUB 13:52, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

 * The Ford Triton engine article is a bit redundant, it's a marketing term used by Ford to give the then new 1997 F150 engines a catchy name like Chevy with it's Vortec line and Dodge with it's Magnum line. The differences between a Triton 4.6L and a Crown Vic 4.6L are ancillary.  Barring year to year production differences the block, heads, cams, crank, rods, and pistons are all identical.  The Triton engine can be explained in a single paragraph on the Ford Modular engine page.  TheBalance 15:47, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Sorry man you are wrong on that. All of those things you listed are not in fact the same. The internal materials are all different and so are the applications, for example the rings, wrist pins are different type, and even the fasteners for the bearings are different design, in addtion to different rods, pistons, etc. The castings are very different: the truck blocks are Windsor/Romeo (rarely) each of which are different, and the Vics are Romeo. Many of the parts are in fact NOT inter chanable. How can they be the same engine? Similar yes, same no. And that's just 2v iron blocks. Once you get into aluminum there are other differences. CJ DUB 17:01, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

 * There are several minor differences between Windsor and Romeo engines. Windsor engines have fully floating wrist pins and thus different pistons (with identical year-to-year dish volume and all are hypereutectic), dowels for centering the main caps versus jackscrews in the Romeo, 14 cam cover bolts vs. 11 on the Romeo, Windsor has press on cam sprockets versus bolt-on cam sprockets in the Romeo, and Windsors have the individual cam caps while Romeo engines have the "caged" cam caps. Those are the primary differences.

 * The downfall to your argument is that there is no correlation between a Windsor/Romeo and a Triton engine whatsoever. There is nothing rare about a Romeo built Triton (8th Vin # digit W for Romeo, 6 for Windsor), in some regions Romeo-built Tritons are far more common than Windsor-built Tritons.  Also, Windsor 4.6Ls have seen duty in cars where it isn't even badged a Triton, namely in the 99 - 00 Mustang GT.  There are only ancillary differences between a "Triton" Romeo (or Windsor) and a passenger car Romeo (or Windsor).  The basic engine is identical, in the trucks where it is badged a "Triton" it receives an 8 rib serpentine belt drive and belt driven cooling fan versus 6-rib belt drive and an electric fan in most of the passenger cars.  Features like alternate cylinder firing for a cooling effect when a coolant loss detected in the F150s is a programming feature, not a engine feature.

 * The only consistent and significant difference between a "Triton" Modular engine and a passenger car Modular engine is seen in the intake manifold design. The "Triton" Modulars all feature intake manifolds with longer, smaller cross-section runners than seen in the passenger car intakes.  But even then there are intake manifold differences between different car models, such as the Crown Victoria and Mustang, where there are no marketing terms like "Triton" attached.  Beyond that, yes the block, heads, cams, crank, rods, and pistons are all identical between Triton and non-Triton Modulars barring year-to-year and plant-to-plant production differences.  The relatively minor differences between a Romeo and Windsor engine can be explained in a paragraph on the Ford Modular engine page. You have to keep in mind Wikipedia isn't here to cover topics in intricate detail, it is meant to provide an accurate, relatively brief yet encyclopedic overview of a topic.

All good points. I maintain the rings and rods are different material, the cranks are different, the cams are in fact different. I need refs i know but i'm too busy at this moment to look em up. An important point is that post-2004 tritons are all iron though, and unique casting, an important distinction, as today car mods and truck tritons are more different than ever. CJ DUB 17:26, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Barring year-to-year and plant-to-plant differences heads/cams are identical across the 2V Modular engine lineup, e.g. a Windsor PI 5.4L head/cam package is 100% identical to a Windsor PI 4.6L head/cam package. All PI cam specs (lift, duration, LSA) regardless of assembly plant or engine displacement are also identical, e.g. Romeo 4.6L PI cams have the same specs as Windsor 5.4L PI cams (but different part numbers due to differences in cam sprocket fastening).  There were a few versions of the NPI heads, but they were running revisions not specific to the Tritons.  All OEM Modular rods, barring the s/c SVT products, are powdered metal with fracture split ends.  Ford makes constant running revisions, there are numerous different part numbers for main and rod bearings for the Modulars, but once again the changes aren't specific to Triton or non-Triton.

 * As far as the 2004-up Tritons, the 3V 5.4L iron block is the same 5.4L NVH block found in 5.4Ls (including the 4V Shelby GT500 minus Triton badges) since 2002. The NVH block itself is nothing but a non-NVH 5.4L iron block with 25 lbs. of material added to the weakest areas.  The non-NVH 5.4L iron block has also seen duty in the 2000 Cobra R without any Triton badges.

Daniel V. Gallery

Daniel Vincent Gallery (July 10, 1901 – January 16, 1977) was a rear admiral in the United States Navy. He saw extensive action during World War II, fighting U-boats during the Battle of the Atlantic, where his most notable achievement was the June 4, 1944 capture of the GS U-505. After the war, Gallery was a prolific author of fiction and non-fiction. During the post-war military cutbacks, he wrote a series of articles criticizing the heavy reductions being made to the US Navy. These articles placed him at odds with the administration during the episode which became known as the Revolt of the Admirals.

Early life and career
Daniel was the son of Daniel Vincent Gallery (born Chicago, July 19, 1865), lawyer, and Mary Onahan Gallery, writer. In 1917, at the age of 16, Gallery entered the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland. He graduated a year early, in 1920, and competed in the 1920 Olympics in Antwerp on the U.S. wrestling team.

He had three younger brothers, all of whom had careers in the U.S. Navy. Two brothers, William O. Gallery and Philip D. Gallery, also rose to the rank of rear admiral. The fourth brother, John Ireland Gallery, was a Catholic priest and Navy chaplain. Their grandfather Daniel, born about 1839, emigrated to the U.S. from Ennistymon, County Clare, Ireland, in the mid- to late- 1800s.

Gallery was an early naval aviator. He flew seaplanes, torpedo bombers and amphibians. In the late 1930s, he won at the National Air Races in a race-tuned Douglas TBD Devastator torpedo plane. In 1941, while the U.S. was still neutral, he was assigned as the Naval Attaché at the U.S. Embassy in Great Britain. While in Britain, he earned his flight pay by ferrying Supermarine Spitfires from the factory to Royal Air Force aerodromes. He liked to claim that he was the only U.S. Navy aviator who flew Spitfires during the Battle of Britain, but they were unarmed.

World War II
In 1942, Gallery took command of the Fleet Air Base in Reykjavík, Iceland, where he was awarded the Bronze Star for his actions against German submarines. It was there that he conceived his plan to capture a U-boat.

In 1943, Gallery was named captain of the escort carrier USS Guadalcanal (CVE-60), which he commissioned. In January 1944, he commanded antisubmarine Task Group 21.12 (TG 21.12) out of Norfolk, Virginia, with Guadalcanal as the flagship. TG 21.12 sank the GS U-544.

In March 1944, Task Group 22.3 was formed with Guadalcanal as the flagship. On this cruise, Gallery pioneered 24-hour flight operations from escort carriers in order to hunt U-boats, which had begun remaining submerged during daylight to avoid carrier-based aircraft. On April 9, the task group sank GS U-515, commanded by U-boat ace Kapitänleutnant Werner Henke. After prolonged depth charging, the submarine was forced to the surface among the attacking ships and the surviving crew abandoned ship. The deserted U-515 was hammered by rockets and gunfire before she finally sank. Gallery saw that this would have been a perfect opportunity to capture the vessel. He decided to be ready the next time such an opportunity presented itself. The next night, aircraft from the task group caught GS U-68 (1940) on the surface, in broad moonlight, and sank her with one survivor, a lookout caught on-deck when the U-boat crash dived.

U-505
On the next cruise of TG 22.3, Gallery took the unusual step of forming boarding parties, in case of another chance to capture a U-boat arose. On June 4, 1944, the task group crossed paths with U-505 off the coast of Africa. U-505 was spotted running on the surface by two Grumman F4F Wildcat fighters from Guadalcanal. Her captain, Oberleutnant Harald Lange, dived the boat to avoid the fighters. But they could see the submerged submarine and vectored destroyers onto her track. The experienced antisubmarine warfare team laid down patterns of depth charges that shook U-505 up badly, popping relief valves and breaking gaskets, resulting in water sprays in her engine room. Based on reports from the engine room, the captain believed his boat to be heavily damaged and ordered the crew to abandon ship, which was done so hastily that full scuttling measures were not completed.

Gallery ordered the boarding party from the destroyer escort USS Pillsbury (DE-133) to board the foundering submarine and if possible capture her. The destroyers in range used their .50 caliber and 20 mm antiaircraft guns to chase the Germans off the vessel so the boarding party could get onto her. Once on board, the party replaced the cover of the sea strainer, thus keeping the U-boat from sinking immediately. The boarders retrieved the submarine's Enigma coding machine and code books. (This was a primary goal of the mission because it would enable the codebreakers in Tenth Fleet to read German signals immediately, without having to break the codes). They got her under control, and U-505 became the first foreign man-of-war captured in battle on the high seas by the U.S. Navy since the War of 1812.

This incident was the last time that the order "Away All Boarders!" was given by a U.S. Navy captain. Lieutenant Albert David, who led the boarding party, received the Medal of Honor for his courage in boarding a foundering submarine that presumably had scuttling charges set to explode – the only Medal of Honor awarded in the Atlantic Fleet during World War II. For capturing U-505, Task Group 22.3 was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation and Gallery received the Distinguished Service Medal.

He also received a blistering dressing-down from Admiral Ernest J. King, Chief of Naval Operations. King pointed out that unless U-505's capture could be kept an absolute secret, the Germans would change their codes and change out the cipher wheels in the Enigma. Gallery managed to impress his crews with the vital importance of maintaining silence on the best sea story any of them would ever see. His success kept him from getting a court-martial instead of a medal. (Two noted naval historians, Samuel Eliot Morison and Clay Blair, Jr., take opposite views of Gallery's case. Morison saw it as an intrepid act of combat valor in the finest Navy tradition; Blair sided with Admiral King and called it an act of lunacy which could have undone all the work done by the codebreakers on both sides of the Atlantic.) After the war, King personally approved the award of the Presidential Unit Citation to Task Group 22.3 for the capture of the U-boat.

Later war
Gallery was given command of the aircraft carrier USS Hancock (CV-19) in September 1945. He relinquished command of Hancock on 10 December 1945.

Post-World War II service
After promotion to rear admiral, Gallery became Assistant to the Chief of Naval Operations. He commanded Carrier Division Six during the Korean War.

The "Revolt of the Admirals"
The "Revolt of the Admirals" occurred during Louis Johnson's tenure as Secretary of Defense. Johnson planned to scrap the carrier fleet, merge the Marine Corps into the Army, and reduce the Navy to a convoy-escort force. Gallery wrote a series of articles for The Saturday Evening Post fiercely criticizing these plans. The final article, "Don't Let Them Scuttle the Navy!" was so inflammatory that Gallery barely escaped court-martial for insubordination. It cost Gallery his third star. It effectively finished his career, though he served 12 more years on active duty. At the time of his retirement, he was second in seniority on the Rear Admirals' List.

Command of the Tenth Naval District
Gallery's final command was the Tenth Naval District in San Juan, Puerto Rico, from December 1956 to July 1960. During this command, with the help of the Rotary and Lions clubs, he established the first Little Leagues in Puerto Rico. It was also there that he first heard the steel bands of Trinidad. He was so taken by the sound that he invested $120 in steel drums for his command's Navy band. He established the first all-American and the only military steel band in 1957. The Tenth Naval District Steel Band – or Admiral Dan's Pandemoniacs, as they called themselves – became the U.S. Navy Steel Band and toured the world as ambassadors of the U.S. Navy until 1999.

Gallery was forced to retire from the Navy in 1960 when he was found medically unfit for service. Shortly before Gallery's retirement, the custom of "tombstone promotion" was abolished. So he was one of the few rear admirals of his era to be retired as only a rear admiral. Most of his contemporaries retired as vice admirals.

He died at the Bethesda Naval Medical Center on January 16, 1977, at the age of 75. He was buried with full military honors in Section 3 of Arlington National Cemetery, adjacent to two of his brothers.

Quotations by Daniel V. Gallery

 * "The definition of a calculated risk is a gamble which military men take when they can't figure out what else to do and which turns out to be right. When it turns out wrong, it wasn't a calculated risk at all. It was a piece of utter stupidity."
 * "Some critics have accused the military of being profligate wastrels because we didn't win World War II by killing the last Jap with the last bullet we had in our ammo locker. I would much rather defend myself against such charges than try to explain to my three kids why we lost our liberties because military planners didn't want the war to end with a lot of surplus junk on our hands."
 * "When nations, by mutual consent, decide to ignore the commandment 'Thou shall not kill', it is very difficult for the military leaders to restrict the killing to just the right people."

Susan Buffett

Susan Thompson Buffett (June 15, 1932 – July 29, 2004) was an American activist for the causes of civil rights, abortion rights and birth control, and the first wife of investor Warren Buffett. She was a director of Berkshire Hathaway, owning 2.2 percent of the company worth about $3 billion at the time of her death, making her the 153rd richest person in the world. She was president of the Buffett Foundation, which has contributed millions of dollars to educational groups, medical research, family planning groups and other charities.

Biography
Susan was born in Omaha, Nebraska, and graduated from Omaha Central High School. Her father, William Hertzog Thompson, was a minister, psychologist, dean at the University of Nebraska-Omaha, and one-time campaign manager for Howard Buffett.

Though her parents and Warren's knew one another, they met at Northwestern University, via Susan's roommate Roberta Buffett, Warren's sister.

Susan and Warren married in 1952 at the Dundee Presbyterian Church in Omaha. They had three children together: Susan (born July 30, 1953), Howard (born December 16, 1954), and Peter (born May 4, 1958).

Allegations have been made regarding Susan's conduct during her marriage to Warren. These include claims that in the mistaken belief her husband had cheated on her with his friend, Katharine Graham, she sent Graham a passive-aggressive letter that "let her date Warren Buffett", and that she had a relationship with her tennis coach, John McCabe.

She occasionally performed hit classics from the early 1970s cabaret singer and, in 1977, had a one-night performance at an Omaha theater. Encouraged by songwriter/musician Neil Sedaka to pursue a singing career, she left her husband and moved to a small apartment in San Francisco with her paramour, John McCabe, in Gramercy Tower on Nob Hill. Later, she moved into a large condominium on Broadway near Scott Street in Pacific Heights with views of the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz. She remained married and on good terms with her husband, vacationing together with him and spending time assisting charitable groups. She performed in New York and released several CDs. According to Roger Lowenstein's 1995 Random House biography, Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist, while Warren had encouraged Susan to pursue her career in music, he was heartbroken by her move.

In 1978, Susan introduced her husband to Astrid Menks, who moved in with Warren in their Omaha home, and married him after Susan's death.

The Buffetts attended public functions as husband and wife though they had not lived together for more than half of their marriage. The Buffetts even signed Christmas cards, Warren, Susan, and Astrid, and were often seen together as a trio.

Oral cancer and death
In October 2003, Susan was diagnosed with oral cancer; she underwent surgery, radiation therapy and facial reconstruction. Warren flew out from Omaha to be with her every weekend during her recovery and the couple would later contribute $6 million to five California doctors for the study of oral cancer. She had recovered enough to attend the annual shareholders' meeting of Berkshire Hathaway in May 2004, leading a singalong at the Borsheim's reception.

Susan died at the age of 72 after suffering a cerebral hemorrhage during the summer of 2004 in Cody, Wyoming. Bono performed "Forever Young" and "All I Want Is You" at her funeral. Warren was so grief-stricken that he did not attend. She left approximately $50 million to her children's charity while each of her children received $10 million and each grandchild received $100,000. She also left a number of friends and employees substantial sums, including $8 million to John McCabe and $1 million to Ron Parks. Nearly all of her Berkshire Hathaway shares, valued at nearly $3 billion at the time, were left to a foundation that would later bear her name.

Jeremiah Morrow Bridge

The Jeremiah Morrow Bridge is the name for a pair of concrete box girder bridges built between 2010 and 2016 which carry Interstate 71 over the Little Miami River gorge between Fort Ancient and Oregonia, Ohio. The bridges are named for former Governor of Ohio Jeremiah Morrow.

The bridges are 239 feet (73 m) above the river, making them the highest bridges in Ohio, and are 2,252 ft long, 55 ft wide, with 440 ft main spans. The bridges each have two marked lanes with room for a third lane.

The original Warren truss bridges at the same location were opened to traffic in 1965 and were continuous across five spans. Both of the original spans were replaced beginning in 2010, with the completion of construction work marked with an official ribbon cutting ceremony held on November 18, 2016.

The original bridges were approximately the same design and age as the I-35W Mississippi River bridge which collapsed in 2007. Demolition of the original southbound bridge was largely completed on April 23, 2017. The original northbound bridge had been demolished in 2014 after one of the new bridges was complete.

Network operations center

A network operations center (NOC, pronounced like the word knock), also known as a "network management center", is one or more locations from which network monitoring and control, or network management, is exercised over a computer, telecommunication or satellite network.

History
The earliest NOCs started during the 1960s. A Network Control Center was opened in New York by AT&T in 1962 which used status boards to display switch and routing information, in real-time, from AT&T's most important toll switches. AT&T later replaced this Network Control Center with a modernized NOC in 1977, located in Bedminster, New Jersey.

Purpose
NOCs are implemented by business organizations, public utilities, universities, and government agencies that oversee complex networking environments that require high availability. NOC personnel are responsible for monitoring one or many networks for certain conditions that may require special attention to avoid degraded service. Organizations may operate more than one NOC, either to manage different networks or to provide geographic redundancy in the event of one site becoming unavailable.

In addition to monitoring internal and external networks of related infrastructure, NOCs can monitor social networks to get a head-start on disruptive events.

Computer
Computer environments can range in size from one to millions of servers.

Telecommunication
In telecommunication environments, NOCs are responsible for monitoring power failures, communication line alarms (such as bit errors, framing errors, line coding errors, and circuits down) and other performance issues that may affect the network, and in telecom sector have to track details about the call flow.

Satellite
Satellite network environments process large amounts of voice and video data, in addition to intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance information. Example organizations that manage this form of NOC includes Artel, a service provider of commercial satellite bandwidth to the United States Department of Defense, located in Herndon, Virginia.

Design
NOCs are frequently laid out with several rows of desks, all facing a video wall, which typically shows details of highly significant alarms, ongoing incidents and general network performance; a corner of the wall is sometimes used for showing a news or weather TV channel, as this can keep the NOC technicians aware of current events which may affect the network or systems they are responsible for. The back wall of a NOC is sometimes glazed; there may be a room attached to this wall which is used by members of the team responsible for dealing with serious incidents to meet while still able to watch events unfolding within the NOC. Individual desks are generally assigned to a specific network, technology or area. A technician may have several computer monitors on their desk, with the extra monitors used for monitoring the systems or networks covered from that desk. The location housing a NOC may also contain many or all of the primary servers and other equipment essential to running the network, although it is not uncommon for a single NOC to monitor and control a number of geographically dispersed sites.

NOC engineers
A NOC engineer has several duties in order to ensure the smooth running of the network. They deal with things such as DDoS attacks, power outages, network failures, and routing black-holes. There are of course the basic roles, such as remote hands, support, configuration of hardware (such as firewalls and routers, purchased by a client). NOC engineers also have to ensure the core network is stable. This can be done by configuring hardware in a way that makes the network more secure, but still has optimal performance. NOC engineers are also responsible for monitoring activity, such as network usage, temperatures etc. They would also have to install equipment, such as KVMs, rack installation, IP-PDU setup, running cabling. The majority of NOC engineers are also on call and have a five or six day rotation, working different shifts.

Talk:Jaguar AJ-V8 engine

=Engine Designer= The Chief Engineer (project leader) for the AJ26 project was Dave Szczupak. The actual lead designer for the cylinder head was Joe Cooke and for the bottom end of the engine (block, crank, rods, pistons, oil system etc) it was Nigel Massey and Carl White. The engine was 100% unique. The only Ford parts re-used were the oil filler cap, the crank shaft damper woodruff key and the sump plug. The AJ26, 27, 28, 34 & LR V8's were  only ever built in Bridgend,   North Wales. The AJ30 (3.9l US version) was built in Lima in the USA and used in the Thunderbird and Lincoln DEW98. The engine was adopted into LR vehicles in 2004; first in the Discovery/ RR Sport and then replacing the BMW 4.4l V8 in the RangeRover (L322).

All of the above are 100% factually correct as I was part of the team that designed the engine - M Joyce - 6th Sep 2008

For the 4.0 other parts in addition to what is above are Ford parts and available over the counter at a ford dealership, including timing chains, tensioners, gaskets to name parts I've personally bought. I think (but can not confirm) that many other parts including oil filter, water pump, thermostat and some engine sensors are available as well. I am sure these are unique to the AJ-series of engines but they are still Ford parts with a Ford part number and everything. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:8B3C:7360:1D1A:3A0C:7ECD:A36 (talk) 22:58, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

==================================================================================

I thought the Range Rover used a BMW v8? -- stewacide

It did/does but the AJ is being adapted as we speak. I'll check whether this change is 2004 or 2005. --SFoskett 18:05, Aug 7, 2004 (UTC)

Aston Martin V8
I was at Jaguar engineering when this engine was being designed. It had, rather confusingly, two codes at the start. A Jaguar code - AJ37 and an Aston Martin code - AM5. The Jaguar code was dropped after a while to avoid confusion and highlight internally that this was an Aston Martin engine.

LewisR 01:55, 14 September 2007 (UTC) I was one of the folks deeply involved in the AJ37 V8 for Aston Martin. I worked for Jaguar. I outlined the cam profiles, intake manifold and exhausting as well as the combustion chamber and did a lot of the test work. I concur with what Lewis R says. The engine was originally designed for the AM305M- which was to be mid engined and then it switched to the front engined layout. Platform was going to be shared with the X600 'F type' originally but later ended up using the VH Aston Platform as the X600 was dropped. The intake manifold had to be redesigned. John Filby did a lot of the initial work and then Pete Vaughan inherited the design work. Pete Vaughan please RIP. The world lost an amazing designer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.233.119.178 (talk) 18:25, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

Land Rover V8 Codes
They had the designation of AJ43 & AJ44 for the NA & SC engines although I do need to verify this. LewisR 01:55, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Engine designer
Can we clarify who the engine was actually designed by, and the locations it is actually built - I know that the head designer for the 'AJV8' family was David Szczupak of Jaguar cars and bears no relation to the Ford Modular Family but many are convinced this is the same block - the confusion mainly comes, I assume, from the fact that it was fitted to the T-bird and the Lincoln LS from (as I gather) 2002 on, and in a unique diplacement. Anything to verify this against. 77.100.12.167 (talk) 07:22, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Crank
Missing info on this page:

Does this engine have a cross-plane crankshaft or a flat-plane crankshaft? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.139.213.73 (talk) 20:29, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

It's a cross-plane crank. Easy to tell if you hear a cross-plane; it burbles.

Can we quantify this with a source please as its hard to find confirmation online anywhere! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.209.212.19 (talk) 11:37, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

Look at the firing order (ISO 12734568), it is a cross plane. A flat plane 90 degree V8 must alternate between the left and right banks on successive firing pulses while a cross plane will have 2 cylinders on each bank firing successively during once complete cycle (2 revolutions) in this case 7&3 and 6&8. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:8B3C:7360:1D1A:3A0C:7ECD:A36 (talk) 22:48, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

AJ26 Name
The name, AJ26, came about not because they didn't know of it'd be a 6, 8 or 12 cylinder engine but because it was meant to be a family of modular engines, the first of which being the V8 [ i.e. "6", "2+6=8", "2x6=12" ]. The 6 & 12 were meant to follow but from early on, they were dropped. The V8 was chosen as BMW & Lexus had recently launched V8 engines in their exec. saloons.

The derivation of the name AJ26 is extremely simple - the engine was designed as a Modular 6, 8 & 12 cylinder family. 6+8+12 = 26. The AJ stands for "Advanced Jaguar" following the AJ6 from the 1980's.  I can't remember if I proposed this name or Dave Szczupak. The V6 was dropped because the Cleveland V6 (2.5l and 3.0l) had reasonable Power, torque, economy etc and Ford did not want two similar V6's made in different factories in 2 places in the world. The V12 was dropped because it was thought by marketing that the sales volumes would be too small to justify the investment — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.12.161.74 (talk) 12:48, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

CPR
Good article re. Anderdonk. I recently read Pierre Berton's "The Last Spike"? Did you get most of your facts from there? I also had the good fortune to work for the CPR on a maintenance crew in 1988, and I worked over Craigellachie. BTW two questions: 1) do you know the OTHER last spike picture? Major A.B. Rogers is the man holding the spike-pull and I don't think he's visible in the posted picture, but he is, I've heard, visible in the other less famous one taken one or two minutes before. and 2) Does ANYONE know what "A.B." stands for? If Berton knew, he never wrote. It's one of those details of which no record seems left. Cheers, Vincent 05:36, 8 Sep 2004 (UTC)

 * There is now an article that answers the question: Albert Bowman Rogers. Fawcett5 14:25, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks, that answers a long nagging question. Albert Canyon was named by Rogers after his nephew BTW. I noticed you have Berton's "The National Dream" but not "The Last Spike" in your bibliography. He writes at length of Onderdonk, and mentions that he is the only major participant in the CPR to have had nothing, not a mountain, not a stream, not a hamlet or a siding or a hill, named after him. There's also a recent bio of Van Horne available. I'll try and pick it up next time I'm home.

 * The Kamloops Art Gallery ?!? Oh, that brings me back! I dated a girl I met in that gallery the summer I worked for CPR. Vincent 03:25, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)

 * The Van Horne book is here at Amazon but I guess you can find it at Chapters too. Vincent 00:03, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)

River naming
I noticed your question to Decumanus. U.S. and Canadian rivers usually use the form, X River (state/province). Some other countries do not but use X River, place. In the U.S. we have to worry about diambiguating towns like Indian River, Michigan from the Indian River in Michigan. see also WikiProject Rivers Rmhermen 19:13, Dec 10, 2004 (UTC)

Route map of The Canadian
Hi Al, since we have a common interest in railways and the history of the Canadian west, I've naturally noticed that you have significant expertise in creating maps. I have been working hard on establishing and upgrading the article for the CPR / Via Rail train The Canadian. The article would much enhanced with maps for both the historical CPR routing and the Via rail routing. And the VIA rail route map would do dual duty as the route map for the Super Continental... Would you have any interest in taking on these projects? Fawcett5 14:25, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Al, thanks so much for doing the map, it looks really good. The only thing I might suggest now is that since you already have the GIS data input for the CN routing, you could very easily also make one with only that and put it into the Super Continental article, which I hope to get a chance to expand soon.  And again, thank you! Fawcett5 02:00, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Perhpas you were mislead by your sources, but I'm still disappointed that you don't know where Canada's 6th largest city is! :-) Your map shows Edmonton being a couple hundred kilometers west of it true position, somewhere near Edson, Alberta.  I wish we were that close to Jasper, going skiing would be quicker and cheaper.  Winnipeg looks too far west too.

Tina Modotti

Tina Modotti (born Assunta Adelaide Luigia Modotti Mondini, August 16/17, 1896 – January 5, 1942) was an Italian American photographer, model, actor, and revolutionary political activist for the Comintern. She left her native Italy in 1913 and emigrated to the United States, where she settled in San Francisco with her father and sister. In San Francisco, Modotti worked as a seamstress, model, and theater performer and, later, moved to Los Angeles where she worked in film. She later became a photographer and essayist. In 1922 she moved to Mexico, where she became an active member of the Mexican Communist Party.

Early life
Modotti was born Assunta Adelaide Luigia Modotti Mondini in Udine, Friuli, Italy. Her mother, Assunta, was a seamstress; her father, Giuseppe, was a mason. After spending time living in Austria, where her parents were migrant workers, the family returned to Udine, where the young Modotti worked in a textile factory. In 1913, at the age of 16, she emigrated to the United States to join her father in San Francisco, California. Departing from Genoa aboard the SS Moltke on June 24, she traveled alone, according to Letizia Argenteri, author of Tina Modotti: Between Art and Revolution, arriving on July 8 at Ellis Island, where she "declared herself to be single, five feet one inch tall, in good mental and physical health, and a student." She carried with her "100 dollars and a train ticket for San Francisco, where her father and her sister Mercedes resided."

Acting career
Attracted to the performing arts supported by the Italian émigré community in the San Francisco Bay Area, Modotti experimented with acting. She appeared in several plays, operas, and silent movies in the late 1910s and early 1920s, and also worked as an artist's model.

In 1917, she met Roubaix "Robo" de l'Abrie Richey. Originally a farm boy from Oregon named Ruby Ritchie, the artist and poet assumed the more bohemian name Roubaix. In 1918, Modotti began a romantic relationship with him and moved with him to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the motion picture industry. Although the couple cohabited and lived as a "married couple", they were not married. She was listed as a U.S. citizen in the 1920 Los Angeles township census. Often playing the femme fatale, Modotti's movie career culminated in the 1920 film The Tiger's Coat. She had minor parts in two other films.

The couple entered into a bohemian circle of friends. One of these fellow bohemians was Ricardo Gómez Robelo. Another was the photographer, Edward Weston.

Photography career
As a young girl in Italy her uncle, Pietro Modotti, maintained a photography studio. Later in the U.S., her father briefly ran a similar studio in San Francisco. While in Los Angeles, she met the photographer Edward Weston and his creative partner Margrethe Mather. It was through her relationship with Weston that Modotti developed as an important fine art photographer and documentarian. By 1921, Modotti was Weston's lover. Ricardo Gómez Robelo became the head of Mexico's Ministry of Education's Fine Arts Department, and persuaded Robo to come to Mexico with a promise of a job and a studio.

Robo left for Mexico in December 1921. Perhaps unaware of his affair with Modotti, Robo took with him prints of Weston's, hoping to mount an exhibition of his and Weston's work in Mexico. While she was on her way to be with Robo, Modotti received word of his death from smallpox on February 9, 1922. Devastated, she arrived two days after his death. In March 1922, determined to see Robo's vision realized, she mounted a two-week exhibition of Robo's and Weston's work at the National Academy of Fine Arts in Mexico City. She sustained a second loss with the death of her father, which forced her to return to San Francisco later in March 1922. In 1923, Modotti returned to Mexico City with Weston and his son Chandler, leaving behind Weston's wife Flora and their youngest three children. She agreed to run Weston's studio free of charge in return for his mentoring her in photography.

Together they opened a portrait studio in Mexico City. Modotti and Weston quickly gravitated toward the capital's bohemian scene and used their connections to create an expanding portrait business. Together they found a community of cultural and political "avant-gardists", which included Frida Kahlo, Lupe Marín, Diego Rivera, and Jean Charlot. In general, Weston was moved by the landscape and folk art of Mexico to create abstract works, while Modotti was more captivated by the people of Mexico and blended this human interest with a modernist aesthetic, all the while shunning the term 'artist', insisting she merely wanted to "capture social realities". Modotti also became the photographer of choice for the blossoming Mexican mural movement, documenting the works of José Clemente Orozco and Diego Rivera. Between 1924 and 1928, Modotti took hundreds of photographs of Rivera's murals at the Secretariat of Public Education in Mexico City. Modotti's visual vocabulary matured during this period, such as her formal experiments with architectural interiors, blooming flowers, urban landscapes, and especially in her many beautiful images of peasants and workers during the depression. In 1926, Modotti and Weston were commissioned by Anita Brenner to travel around Mexico and take photographs for what would become her influential book Idols Behind Altars. The relative contributions of Modotti and Weston to the project has been debated. Weston's son Brett, who accompanied the two on the project, indicated that the photographs were taken by Edward Weston.

In 1925, Modotti joined International Red Aid, a Communist organization. In November 1926, Weston left Mexico and returned to California. During this time Modotti met several political radicals and Communists, including three Mexican Communist Party leaders who would all eventually become romantically linked with her: Xavier Guerrero, Julio Antonio Mella, and Vittorio Vidali.

Starting in 1927, a much more politically active Modotti (she joined the Mexican Communist Party that year) found her focus shifting and more of her work becoming politically motivated. Around that time her photographs began appearing in publications such as Mexican Folkways, Forma, and the more radically motivated El Machete, the German Communist Party's Arbeiter-Illustrierte-Zeitung (AIZ), and New Masses. From 1929 she contributed to Der Kuckuck, a publication of the Austrian Social Democratic Party.

Mexican photographer Manuel Álvarez Bravo divided Modotti's career as a photographer into two distinct categories: "Romantic" and "Revolutionary", with the former period including her time spent as Weston's darkroom assistant, office manager and, finally, creative partner. Her later works were the focus of her one-woman retrospective exhibition at the National Library in December 1929, which was advertised as "The First Revolutionary Photographic Exhibition In Mexico".

Life as an activist
Modotti began a relationship with Xavier Guerrero, who was a member of the Mexican Communist Party, in 1927. Guerrero was sent to Moscow for a year to take part in political party training, and by 1928 Modotti had met and begun a relationship with the exiled Cuban activist Julio Antonio Mella. During this same period, economic and political conflicts within Mexico and indeed much of Central and South America were intensifying and this included increased repression of political dissidents. In 1929, Mella was assassinated while walking in the street with Modotti from the offices of Red Aid, a Comintern-attached organization that offered relief to and defended victims of political repression. Modotti was immediately arrested, but later released and cleared of his murder. Shortly thereafter, an attempt was made on the life of the Mexican President Pascual Ortiz Rubio. Modotti – who was a target of both the Mexican and Italian political police — was questioned about both crimes amidst a concerted anti-communist, anti-immigrant press campaign, that depicted "the fierce and bloody Tina Modotti" as the perpetrator (a Catholic zealot, Daniel Luis Flores, was later charged with shooting Ortiz Rubio. José Magriñat was arrested for Mella's murder).

As a result of the anti-communist campaign by the Mexican government, Modotti was exiled from Mexico in 1930. She first spent several months in Berlin, followed by several years in Moscow. Traveling on a restricted visa that mandated her final destination as Italy, Modotti initially stopped in Berlin and from there visited Switzerland. The Italian government made concerted efforts to extradite her as a subversive national, but with the assistance of International Red Aid activists, she evaded detention by the fascist police. She apparently intended to make her way into Italy to join the anti-fascist resistance there. In response to the deteriorating political situation in Germany and her own exhausted resources, however, she followed the advice of Vittorio Vidali and moved to Moscow in 1931. After 1931, Modotti no longer photographed. Reports of later photographs are unsubstantiated.

During the next few years she engaged in various missions on behalf of the Workers International Relief organizations as a Comintern agent in Europe. When the Spanish Civil War erupted in 1936, Vidali (then known as "Comandante Carlos") and Modotti (using the pseudonym "Maria") left Moscow for Spain, where they stayed and worked until 1939. She worked with Canadian Dr. Norman Bethune during the disastrous retreat from Málaga in 1937. In 1939, following the collapse of the Republican movement in Spain, Modotti left Spain with Vidali and returned to Mexico under a pseudonym.

Death
In 1942, at the age of 45, Modotti died from heart failure while on her way home in a taxi from a dinner at Hannes Meyer's home in Mexico City, under what are viewed by some as suspicious circumstances. After hearing about her death, Diego Rivera suggested that Vidali had orchestrated it. Modotti may have 'known too much' about Vidali's activities in Spain, which included a rumoured 400 executions. An autopsy showed that she died of natural causes, namely congestive heart failure. Her grave is located within the vast Panteón de Dolores in Mexico City. Poet Pablo Neruda composed Modotti's epitaph, part of which can also be found on her tombstone, which also includes a relief portrait of Modotti by engraver Leopoldo Méndez:

 * Pure your gentle name, pure your fragile life,
 * bees, shadows, fire, snow, silence and foam,
 * combined with steel and wire and
 * pollen to make up your firm
 * and delicate being.

Murals by Diego Rivera that include Modotti

 * The Abundant Earth, The National Agricultural School, Chapingo, 1926
 * In 1926, Diego Rivera's wife Lupe Marín asserted that her separation from her husband was caused by his affair with Modotti, which had arisen from Modotti's nude modeling for him for the murals as the Abundant Earth at the National Agricultural School in Chapingo, near Texcoco [1926–27]. Their affair lasted for about a year and he painted her five times in the Chapingo murals, including as The Earth Enslaved, Germination, and Virgin Earth.

 * In the Arsenal, Secretaría de Educación Pública Building, Mexico City, 1928
 * This painting was part of the break between Modotti and Rivera caused by his expulsion from the Communist Party. The mural depicts Modotti passing out ammunition, perhaps for the revolution of Augusto Sandino in Nicaragua, perhaps for the "invasion" of Cuba that Mella was planning at that time hoping to overthrow the regime of General Gerardo Machado, or perhaps just in support of insurrection against injustice everywhere. She is shown gazing at her then lover Mella while Vidali peers over her shoulder. Modotti objected to Rivera's use of her private life in such a public manner. She wrote to Weston, "Recently Diego has taken to painting details with an exaggerated precision. He leaves nothing to the imagination." The central figure in this painting is Rivera's then-lover, the artist Frida Kahlo. Kahlo, who had first met Rivera as a schoolgirl in 1922 when he was painting his first mural The Creation in the Bolívar Auditorium of the National Preparatory School in Mexico City, is reputed to have been reintroduced to Rivera in 1928 at a party in Modotti's home, although there are other versions of the tale of their meeting. Modotti hosted Kahlo and Rivera's wedding party on August 21, 1929. The final rift between Modotti on the one hand and Rivera and Kahlo on the other, less than a month later, appears to have been political rather than personal. Modotti supported Rivera's expulsion from the Communist Party. Modotti's internationalism, and her belief that this was best advanced by adherence to the line of the Mexican Communist Party and the Communist International, were deeply held. Later, she explained her decision to abandon photography for political work following her expulsion from Mexico thus (inverting an outlook stated to her years earlier by Edward Weston): "I cannot solve the problem of life by losing myself in the problem of art". Rivera's expulsion started him on a trajectory which was to lead to his later association with Leon Trotsky and the Fourth International.

Select photography exhibitions
In 1996 the Philadelphia Museum of Art organized a large-scale retrospective dedicated to the artist, entitled Tina Modotti: Photographs. Martha Chahroudi, the museum's curator of photography, organized the exhibition. To raise funds for the show, the singer Madonna auctioned her 1963 Mercedes-Benz. Madonna has become a major collector of Modotti's work. In 2006, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art organized an exhibition entitled Mexico as Muse: Tina Modotti and Edward Weston.

Prior to the presentation of her work in the U.S., Modotti's photographs have been shown in Italy, Poland, Germany, Austria, and other countries. In 2010, the largest exhibition of her work, Tina Modotti Photographer and Revolutionary opened at the KunstHausWien in Vienna, Austria. It presented 250 photographs, many never shown before. The exhibition is based on the collections of Galerie Bilderwelt, Berlin and Spencer Throckmorton, NYC and curated by Reinhard Schultz. In 2015 the exhibition Tina Modotti: Photographs of Mexican Murals was organized at the Richard Norton Gallery. The State Museum and Exhibition Center ROSPHOTO in Saint Petersburg, Russia, organized an exhibition of Modotti's work entitled "Tina Modotti. Art. Love. Revolution" from 20 September 2019 to 18 November 2019. In Italy, Palazzo Ducale in Genoa organized the exhibition "Donne, Messico e Libertà" from 8 April 2022 to 9 October 2022.

 * The Museum of Modern Art, New York
 * San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco, CA
 * Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

Scarab of Ra

Scarab of Ra is a Mac OS shareware computer game written in 1987 by Rick Holzgrafe and released in 1988 by Semicolon Software, with a modernized version released in 2022. It is an adventure set within an Egyptian pyramid.

Story
A sandstorm has uncovered the Great Pyramid of Ra. The player, a lowly archaeology student, decides to learn its secrets and tell of its wonders. After securing food and a lantern on short notice, the player enters the pyramid with hopes of finding and relying on additional equipment abandoned by earlier expeditions.

Interface
The game is rendered in monochrome from a first person perspective; the rendering engine only allows grid-based, frame-by-frame movement. The game is played via a point-and-click, icon-driven interface in combination with keyboard shortcuts.

Gameplay
Gameplay is that of a simplified roguelike game, utilising permadeath mechanics. Upon starting a new game, the layout of the game is randomised; the player can only save by quitting, a mechanic put in place to prevent save scumming. Death is frequent and quick, forcing players to make the most of their skills and careful use of all items they come across. Many items have several uses that the player must either discover through experimentation or use of an in-game hint system.

Levels are square mazes that grow larger as the player descends, simulating the design of a pyramid. The first level is 3x3, totalling 9 squares. Each succeeding level is one step larger in each dimension (so the next level is 4x4 steps, for a total of 16 squares, and so on). A key on each must be found to unlock the next level. Ascension is impossible, which can strand players if an important item is left behind.

The pyramid also contains traps, which can harm the player in various ways, and animals, including cobras, lionesses, thieving monkeys, and a mummy, which appears only to players who carry the eponymous Scarab of Ra. Animal threats can be dealt with in a number of ways, but only the mummy can be destroyed; the game's author notes that violence is distasteful, but "the mummy was dead anyway".

Movement is turn-based, with a speed setting that alters how many moves other characters can make after the player acts. Speeds range from 1 (slowest) to 10 (fastest), with a map automatically drawn at speeds 5 and below. The map can be accessed and marked at any point, and is an invaluable tool as the levels become larger and more involved. Traveling at high speeds consumes less food and oil, but the player may blunder into danger and movements will not be recorded on the map if over speed 5. Traps are less likely to be triggered and sleeping animals are less likely to be woken when walking at slower speeds, but it consumes more food and oil.

Objective
In order to complete the game, one must gather three major treasures: the Crown, Staff, and Scarab of Ra. Once this task is accomplished, an exit is revealed, yet players can choose to continue playing if they wish to risk death and increase their scores. Once a player picks up the Scarab, mummy-like Guardians immediately began their hunt, delivering an electric shock upon contact.

When the player wins or quits, their character attains a rank based on "prestige points" accrued during the game.

Reception
Macworld named the Macintosh version of Scarab of Ra the "Best Egyptian Adventure and 3-D Maze" as part of its Shareware and Public Domain Game Awards in 1987.

Legacy
The original version of Scarab of Ra ran only on Macintosh computers under the classic Mac OS. It could formerly be purchased through the author's Kagi page. When OS X replaced the classic OS, Scarab of Ra could no longer be used without an emulator such as Mini vMac.

In 2022, the original author released a new version compatible with iPhone, iPad, and M1 Macintosh computers. This version is available in the App Store.
