USS Fort McHenry

USS Fort McHenry (LSD-43) is a Whidbey Island-class dock landing ship of the United States Navy. She was named for Fort McHenry, in Baltimore, Maryland, the 1814 defense of which inspired "The Star-Spangled Banner".

Fort McHenry was laid down on 10 June 1983 by Lockheed Shipbuilding in Seattle, Washington. She was launched on 1 February 1986 and commissioned on 8 August 1987 in Seattle.

Fort McHenry was decommissioned on 27 March 2021 and is undergoing transfer to the Naval Inactive Ship Maintenance Facility in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where she will be placed in reserve status.

1988 – 1995
Fort McHenry's maiden deployment was from June 1988 to December 1988 to the Western Pacific. Following her return, Fort McHenry participated in the cleanup of the Exxon Valdez oil spill from 28 April – 22 June 1989. In recognition of the crew's effectiveness during the cleanup operation, Fort McHenry was awarded the Meritorious Unit Commendation and the Coast Guard Special Operations Service Ribbon.

On 20 June 1990, Fort McHenry began her second deployment and spent 10 months in the Persian Gulf for Desert Shield/Desert Storm. When she returned to her homeport of San Diego on 17 April 1991, Fort McHenry received the Navy Unit Commendation, National Defense Service Medal, Southwest Asia Service Medal, Kuwait Liberation Medal (Saudi Arabia), Kuwait Liberation Medal (Kuwait) and the Combat Action Ribbon. Eight months later, Fort McHenry deployed to the Western Pacific on 6 January 1992. After several successful multinational exercises and port visits, Fort McHenry returned to San Diego on 6 July 1992.

Following an extensive overhaul period, Fort McHenry began the training cycle to prepare for her next deployment. While in the training cycle, Fort McHenry transited to the East Coast through the Panama Canal to pick up five new LCACs from Panama City, Florida. At the completion of the training cycle, Fort McHenry embarked on her fourth deployment from 9 June to 9 December 1994. While deployed, Fort McHenry participated in Operation Restore Hope. The ship also participated in Operation Vigilant Warrior. Following the deployment, Fort McHenry was awarded her second Navy Unit Commendation and Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal and also received her fourth Battle Efficiency Award.

1995 – 2000
On 1 September 1995, Fort McHenry departed San Diego to become one of the units forward-deployed to Sasebo, Japan.

Following her arrival to Japan, Fort McHenry participated in training exercises and multi-national exercises such as exercise Tandem Thrust and Crocodile in Australia, Cobra Gold in Thailand, and Foal Eagle in South Korea. She visited ports during those exercises including Shanghai, China, and Kure, Japan.

During May 1998, Fort McHenry participated on Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training (CARAT 98), which includes visits and exercises with countries in the Western Pacific such as Brunei, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. In addition to her involvement in CARAT 98, Fort McHenry received the Commander, Naval Surface Pacific Fleet Wellness Unit Award for 1997 and the Chief of Naval Operations Safety Award for 1997 on 1 June 1998.

After spending January 1999 in Hong Kong, Fort McHenry entered the competitive phase of her training cycle. In April 1999, Fort McHenry participated in exercise Tandem Thrust 99 in Guam. Fort McHenry was also named a repeat winner of the Commander, Naval Surface Pacific Fleet Wellness Unit Award. Finally, during June 1999, Fort McHenry underwent two Total Ship Training Assessments (TSTA), which confirmed the ship's training progress during the 1999 competitive cycle. In 2000, Fort McHenry participated in exercise Balikatan 2000 with the Philippine Armed Forces. The ship was named a repeat winner of the Battle Efficiency Award, Command Excellence Awards for Maritime Warfare, Engineering/Survivability, Command and Control, and Logistics Management for her achievements during the 1999 fiscal year. After Balikatan 2000 was completed, Fort McHenry continued her hectic schedule by participating in Exercise Cobra Gold 2000, during May 2000, with the navies of Thailand and Singapore. The busy schedule continued in October 2000, when Fort McHenry participated in Exercise Neptune Thunder 2000 with US Army forces stationed in South Korea. From 27 October to 3 November, Fort McHenry concluded the year, and the millennium, with her participation in Exercise Foal Eagle which took place in South Korea.

2001 – 2006
Fort McHenry spent the first half of 2001 in a lengthy Ship Required Availability period. During this period the ship acquired two new weapon systems, Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM) Launcher and Ship's Self Defense System (SSDS), both would greatly increased the ship's defensive capabilities.

After returning to sea in June 2001, Fort McHenry entered the middle of her training cycle. The ship completed a port visit to Kagoshima, Japan in August 2001, where approximately seven thousand residents of Kagoshima toured Fort McHenry.

In 2004, Fort McHenry forward deployed at FA Sasebo, Japan, and assigned to Amphibious Group 1. In May 2004, Fort McHenry departed for a three-month deployment along with several ships including USCGC Mellon (WHEC-717), USS Salvor (ARS-52), USS Russell (DDG-59) and USS McCampbell (DDG-85). The deployment was centered around an annual exercise called Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training (CARAT) 2004. Following a two and a half-month SAR period, Fort McHenry was once again put into action as she was emergency deployed to the Philippines after several typhoons hit the country during November 2004. She provided a platform for U.S. Air Force helicopters to bring much-needed fuel into the Philippines.

In 2005 Fort McHenry participated in tsunami relief in the Asian tsunami crisis. She provided a platform for six CH-46 helicopters and LCACs to bring much-needed supplies into Banda Aceh, Indonesia. During Operation Unified Assistance, Fort McHenry was joined by many USN ships including USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) and USNS Mercy (T-AH-19). Following this tasking, Fort McHenry immediately went to the island of Iwo Jima to join American & Japanese veterans for the 60th commemoration of the Battle of Iwo Jima. Fort McHenry deployed for the first half of Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training (CARAT) 2005. This deployment was completed by USS Boxer (LHD-4) and USS Harpers Ferry (LSD-49).

On 31 March 2006, USS Tortuga (LSD-46) arrived in Sasebo to replace Fort McHenry. The crews of the two ships swapped hulls, after which, on 13 April Tortuga's old crew took Fort McHenry back to NAB Little Creek, Virginia, where she was to be homeported. As of January 2007 she was undergoing a major maintenance overhaul at Naval Station Norfolk.

2007
The United States Department of Defense stated on 15 October 2007 that Fort McHenry was slated to leave Little Creek, Virginia, 16 October 2007 for a seven-month deployment to the Gulf of Guinea that the chief of U.S. Africa Command said will exemplify how that new command will operate.

The amphibious dock landing ship served as a platform for the Africa Partnership Station Initiative, which aims to work cooperatively with U.S. and international partners in promoting maritime security in Western Africa.

The ship sailed to Spain to take on officers for the internal APS staff from several European partners; Spain, the United Kingdom, Portugal and Germany, among them, before heading to the Gulf of Guinea.

Her full complement included representatives of U.S. and partner nations' government agencies and non-governmental organizations, all working together to help African nations increase their ability to provide maritime security. In addition to the U.S. military, U.S. agencies that participated were the State Department, Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Agency for International Development, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and U.S. Coast Guard.

High Speed Vessel Swift joined Fort McHenry in the Gulf of Guinea, where she transported students as well as trainers during visits to Senegal, Liberia, Ghana, Cameroon, Gabon, Sao Tome and Principe.

2009
On 13 May 2009 Fort McHenry left her homeport at Little Creek Naval Amphibious Base for a regularly scheduled deployment as part of the Bataan Amphibious Ready Group (BATARG) and 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit (22 MEU), including more than 4,000 sailors and marines. The BATARG/22 MEU supported maritime security operations, provided crisis response capability and increased theater security cooperation and forward naval presence in the 5th and 6th Fleet areas of operation.

BATARG was composed of Fort McHenry, the multi-purpose amphibious assault ship USS Bataan (LHD-5), and the amphibious transport dock USS Ponce (LPD-15). The 22 MEU included a battalion landing team from 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, an aviation combat team composed of elements from Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 263; elements of Combat Logistics Battalion 22; and the MEU's command section.

2010
On 13 January 2010, Fort McHenry was sent to assist in the relief efforts following the 2010 Haiti earthquake.

2012
The ship was scheduled to dock in Dublin port, Ireland on 31 August for the American football game "The Emerald Classic" between Notre Dame University's "Fighting Irish" and the US Naval Academy. On board was a crew of 350 sailors and 180 marines.

2015
In January 2015, Fort McHenry and USS Iwo Jima (LHD-7) were positioned off the coast of Yemen on standby to evacuate the staff of the U.S. embassy should the need arise due to the collapse of the Yemeni government.

2016
In mid-February, Fort McHenry participated in amphibious exercise, Cold Response, together with the Dutch amphibious transport docks HNLMS Johan de Witt (L801) and HNLMS Rotterdam (L800).

2018
On 22 December, Fort McHenry personnel, joined with elements of the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit experienced an outbreak of parotitis. A ship-wide quarantine was initiated and affected personnel were segregated. The outbreak was not reported until 9 March 2019.

2019
In January 2019, the ship transited from the Mediterranean Sea through the Dardanelles Strait and entered the Black Sea, later visiting the Romanian port of Constanța, a major base for the Romanian Navy. The ship was part of the USS Kearsarge (LHD-3) Amphibious Ready Group (ARG), and was carrying the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit from Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. In March 2019, she was quarantined for over three months following an outbreak of mumps. While quarantined, she continued to operate in 5th Fleet conducting a wide range of operations. She was given short notice tasking to depart 5th Fleet and chop to 6th Fleet in support of BALTOPS 2019, a large scale Naval exercise bringing NATO and partner allies together.

2021
Fort McHenry was decommissioned on 27 March 2021 and is undergoing transfer to the Naval Inactive Ship Maintenance Facility in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where she will be placed in reserve status.

Mons Rümker

Mons Rümker is an isolated volcanic formation that is located in the northwest part of the Moon's near side, at selenographic coordinates 40.8° N, 58.1° W. The feature forms a large, elevated mound in the northern part of the Oceanus Procellarum. The mound has a diameter of 70 kilometres, and climbs to a maximum elevation of about 1,300 metres above the surrounding plain. It was named after Karl L. C. Rümker.

Mons Rümker has a concentration of 22 lunar domes—rounded bulges across the top, some of which contain a small craterlet at the peak. These are wide, circular features with a gentle slope rising in elevation a few hundred meters to the midpoint. Lunar domes are similar to shield volcanoes, and are the result of lava erupting from localized vents followed by relatively slow cooling.

Mons Rümker is surrounded by a scarp that separates it from the adjacent mare. The plateau rises to an altitude of 900 m in the west, 1,100 m in the south and 650 m in the east. The surface of Mons Rümker is relatively uniform, with a strong spectroscopic signature of lunar mare material. The estimated volume of lava extruded to create this feature is 1,800 km3.

A young lava plain to the northeast from Mons Rümker, named Statio Tianchuan, was the landing site of the Chang'e 5 mission.

Talk:Project Babylon

V-3 descendant?
I have this bit set that at least one of the Babylon guns copied the V-3 concept, with multiple firing chambers arranged at angles up the side of the barrel. Can anyone shed any light on this? Noel (talk) 18:31, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Biased
The article favours the satellite-launcher theory over the big gun theory. It justifies this by picking holes in the big gun theory, but fails to give critical consideration to the satellite theory.

Firstly, how can the satellite be accurately positioned? You lose control of it once you've fired it.

 * Did you read up on Bull's HARP project? The cannon is the "first stage." Final orbital velocity, circularization burns, and steering are provided by rocket motors on the projectile. Bull's Martlet projectiles were working toward this when HARP shut down. While HARP didn't get there, guided cannon shells (with rockets, electronics, and moving fins) have been fielded or tested.

Secondly, how can a satellite survive the Gs involved in reaching escape velocity in less than 500 feet?

 * It's only a few thousand or tens of thousands of Gs. As demonstrated on cannon-launched guided projectiles, solid-state electronics can handle this pretty well, and projectiles like those of the US's ERGM and LRLAP have worked on moving parts that survive cannon launches. Solid rocket motors also have an extensive history on cannon-launched projectiles. The engineering problems aren't trivial (ERGM, notably, didn't work well), but they aren't impossible.

Thirdy, Iraq is cash-rich and can afford to buy the services of eg Arianne (Iraq and France have close commercial ties, or at least they did have)

Fourthly, Iraq was involved in a long and p[rotracted war against Iran. A big gun would appear to address the country's needs *at that time* more than inventing a completely new way to put satellites in orbit.

Please balance the article by either removing the speculation that the device is unlikely to be a gun, or by including the valid questions about the sateelite launcher theory. Otherwise the article just looks like propoganda for Saddam Hussein.

 * The bias doesn't appear as strong as you imply, from what I can tell. The article says that the two prototypes were unlikely to be used as military weapons because they couldn't be elevated or trained but that additional cannons were planned that could be elevated or trained, making those more reasonable for military use. It doesn't seem unreasonable to me that a military weapon-development project would start off with proof-of-concept prototypes that weren't directly usable as weapons and instead had some dual-use nonmilitary application, especially when you're trying to do the project on the sly.

 * The lack of evidence that the gun could be aimed does not serve as evidence in its own right that the gun could not be aimed, and so is speculative as an argument against military use.

 * Furthermore, your first two objections to the use of a big cannon like this for satellite launching are unfounded. A satellite launched by a ground-based cannon would need to have on-board propulsion in order to circularize its orbit anyway, so it could perform course corrections after launch. And there are plenty of ways to ruggedize electronics and other systems to withstand a launch like that. There are already guided artillery shells, for example. Space gun should have some information about this concept in general. Bryan 21:04, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

 * From the Space gun entry: "a space gun has never been successfully used to launch an object into orbit."

 * Which is more of a problem with funding said projects to completion and finding a market than the technology. The necessary technologies have been demonstrated on military projectiles not intended for space use.

Who knows what it was meant for considering how it was never well planned (or well known) and failed for both purposes. 66.183.58.186 (talk) 06:27, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Customs Seizure
The date for the seizure by UK customs is May 1990 in the Project Babylon Article and November 1990 in the Gerald Bull article. Anyone know a source to clear this up?

 * The BBC says April 11th 1990 : http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/april/11/newsid_2477000/2477023.stm

confiscation of the barrel parts
>> which were disguised as "petrochemical pressure vessels" The parts shown are really looking like as they were intended for a pressurized vessel (or a vacuum apparatus) commonly used in the industry and research. I would say the flange is designed for a conflat (CF) copper sealing. One can see the edge that would cut into the copper ring. I don't see how this would be useful for a cannon. Is there some other source? What was actually destroyed by the UN inspectors in Iraq?

Re.: 'Barrel-parts': I have seen Tubes like this before, during my apprenticeship (I'm a trained engine-fitter), during a visit to the Mannesmann-works in Essen. These things are called 'Mannesmann-tubes'; they are effectively seemless steel-pipes. Mannesmann holds the worldwide patents for them- the production-process is a company-secret. A handful of companies worldwide produce the pipes under license. And- by the way: they are not really used for gun-barrels. They are used for high-pressure oil-pipe-lines...83.71.98.235 01:05, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

PS.: If you don't believe that- there are some other images of the Duxford-exhibit on the net. Look them up- some show the face of the flange quite clearly. There are two grooves machined into the surface. Those grooves would normally take rubber O-rings. I'd love to see anyone designing a gun-barrel by piecing it together with the help of bolted flanges sealed against each other by means of two rubber O-rings. I found the Idea hilarious back then- today it just makes me angry. Angry- because those mercyless bastards created Saddam Hussein, because they played him like a fiddle, because they played this entire world like a fiddle. But above all, it makes me angry because they sent weapons-inspectors into Iraq who pretended to find weapons at a time when there where non left, who then blew up the remaining infra-structure...and who then used Saddam Hussein's unwillingness to co-operate with them to maintain sanctions which resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths...and which resulted in children having to undergo amputations without anaesthetics, while the press, and the experts, and the politicians willingly allowed themselves to be played like a fiddle. The 'Super-gun' is nothing but a 'Super-hoax'. And- yes: That IS a personal opinion, not a verifiable academic paper. I no longer care.83.71.98.235 01:28, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

The UK Government admitted during the 1991 Gulf War that the parts it had siezed were indeed, just oil pipes. It appeared in one news flash at 3.00am (I watched it) and was never repeated as far as I am aware. I have seen the parts of the gun on display, and they are just oil pipes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.131.21.40 (talk • contribs) 14:47, 30 October 2006

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Novel as a source
Is this serious? I request all information that was gleamed from that book to be removed as tom clancy exagerates and just plain makes things up.
 * Several of the other references are pretty fishy, too, casting doubt on the whole article Nik42 04:29, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Please consider that Dr Bull first tried to sell the Super Gun to his own country, Canada. He wanted Canada to have a space program and launch it's own satellites. When the CIA and the U.S. Navy set Dr Bull up with WWII battleship gun barrels he welded two together and attempted to shoot projectiles into outer space. He was able to reach an altitude of about 90 km. he said he needed something like 250km to achieve earth orbit.

When the Iraqis approached Dr Bull, according to sources in his book, they discussed launching communication satellites with the super gun.

The sections of the barrel are very similar to what the U.S. Navy uses as catapult tubes used to launch 50,000 lb aircraft from the flight deck. The two side by side catapult tubes are around 250 feet long and use steam pressure for the launch. The Piston inside the launch tubes are very ballistic in appearance and are not damaged by the flange seams where they are bolted together. I was a Navy Pilot and Catapult Launch Officer on the USS Kitty Hawk from 1967 to 1969 and am very familiar with Catapult launch tube sections. We repaired or replaced a few during my tour. We could shoot a F4 phantom weighing 54,000 lbs with 1,000 lbs of steam pressure from 0 to 250 knots in 1.5 seconds. I am making this point to put to rest the speculation that the flanges would have prevented the Babylon gun from being used as a cannon.

If Saddam had completed his Babylon gun he could have launched into space weapons that would have threatened the security of the U.S., Israel, Saudi Arabia or any othr country who opposed him  The French had already sold Saddam a working nuclear reactor to produce weapons grade uraninum but Iran tried to bomb the reactor and missed and a year later the Israelis destroyed the reactor flying U.S. supplied F16s. After that, Saddam went to the black market trying to buy nuclear material for a weapon from former Soviet Bloc countries. Speculation by every western country was that he was successful in buying nuclear material. The Chief of Iraq's air force said he witnessed nuclear material.

The Babylon gun was a severe threat to world peace. I do not believe it was ever intended to shoot a cannon shell in any direction. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Davew26 (talk • contribs) 04:33, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

Ambiguous wording
However, during the 1991 Gulf War the UK Government announced that the parts it had seized were oil pipes and not parts for a gun, as Iraq had claimed throughout. Does this mean that Iraq claimed they were oil pipes, or that they claimed they were parts for a gun? I'm guessing the first, but I could see Hussein trying to bluff by claiming to have this gun Nik42 04:27, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Iraq claimed throughout that they were just oil pipes. I will reword this section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.133.79.237 (talk) 20:45, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Exotic alloys
I've deleted from the article the claim that there were "special alloys discovered during the work on Baby Babylon that were unusually strong and light". It is unsourced and reads like black project conspiracy theory hokum. Dricherby (talk) 11:56, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Two points to add here:

1. The Supergun project was also codenamed "Shemsheddin". To students of Literature this name should be familiar from "the Arabian Nights".What is of interest here is that Shemsheddin had a brother "Noureddin".The implication being that if the supergun was Shemsheddin then what exactly was "Noureddin" ?.Read the sections relevant.This codename is not referred to here. 2.It is not mentioned anywhere here that the British Company "Matrix-Churchill" was named at the time (1990-91) as a principal in the illegal shipments of components for the Bull designed weapon,the components of which can be viewed in this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ionides2 (talk • contribs) 06:54, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Hardy's theorem

In mathematics, Hardy's theorem is a result in complex analysis describing the behavior of holomorphic functions.

Let $$f$$ be a holomorphic function on the open ball centered at zero and radius $$R$$ in the complex plane, and assume that $$f$$ is not a constant function. If one defines

 * $$I(r) = \frac{1}{2\pi} \int_0^{2\pi}\! \left| f(r e^{i\theta}) \right| \,d\theta$$

for $$0< r < R,$$ then this function is strictly increasing and is a convex function of $$\log r$$.

Doepfer

Doepfer Musikelektronik GmbH is a German manufacturer of audio hardware, mostly synthesizer modules (modular synthesizer), based in Gräfelfing, Upper Bavaria and founded by Dieter Döpfer. The product range covers analog modular systems, MIDI controllers, MIDI hardware sequencers, MIDI-to-CV/Gate/Sync Interfaces, MIDI master keyboards and special MIDI equipment.

Dieter Döpfer began developing audio hardware with a Voltage Controlled Phaser module for the Formant, a do-it-yourself-kit analog synthesizer from Elektor magazine in 1977. Several legendary modular synths followed while Döpfer also focused on the development of MIDI equipment during the 1980s.

In 1992, Doepfer Musikelektronik GmbH released the MIDI analog sequencer MAQ16/3 which was designed in cooperation with Kraftwerk. In the beginning, the company had direct sales and interested musicians would receive a demonstration by visiting other customers since the modular systems were deemed too difficult for typical music shop employees to demonstrate. Facing greater publicity, Doepfer shifted the distribution to specialized points of sales.

Black Ark Studios

The Black Ark was the recording studio of reggae and dub producer Lee "Scratch" Perry, built in 1973 and located behind his family's home in the Washington Gardens neighborhood of Kingston, Jamaica. Despite the rudimentary set-up and dated equipment, it was nonetheless the breeding ground for some of Jamaica's most innovative sounds and recording techniques in the latter half of the 1970s.

Innovative musical techniques
From a technological standpoint, the Black Ark was at the low end in comparison to the international music recording standards of its day. The studio's legendary reputation stems from the innovative production techniques employed by Perry to create sounds that baffled his contemporaries, and which have continued to be a source of amazement to later generations of music producers. An example of Perry's inventive style was his ability to overdub layers of sound effects and instrumentation on each recording track of a basic 4-track machine, with such precise timing and in such a way that the resulting sound would destroy the competition from Jamaica's other top producers using the latest 16-track mixing consoles. Perry once buried microphones at the base of a palm tree and thumped it rhythmically to produce a mystifying bass drum effect and his drum booth at the Black Ark was for a time surrounded with chicken wire to further his distinctive sound. Many of his songs are layered with a variety of subtle effects created from broken glass, ghastly sighs and screeches, crying babies, falling rain and cow noises. While it was thought that Perry recorded the "mooing" noises from actual cows, it was actually the baritone voice of Watty Burnett through a tin foil laced cardboard tube that produced the cow-like noises. These and other notable recording techniques helped define the Black Ark sound, as well as Lee Perry's creative legacy.

Perry was known for his eccentric and superstitious behavior during production sessions. He would often "bless" his recording equipment with mystical invocations, blow ganja smoke onto his tapes while recording, bury unprotected tapes in the soil outside of his studio, and surround himself with burning candles and incense, whose wax and dust remnants were allowed to infest his electronic recording equipment. He would also spray tapes with a variety of fluids, including urine, blood and whisky, ostensibly to enhance their spiritual properties. Later commentators have drawn a direct relationship between the decay of Perry's facility and the unique sounds he was able to create from his studio equipment.

Perry has described his relationship to the studio thus:

The studio must be like a living thing, a life itself. The machine must be live and intelligent. Then I put my mind into the machine and the machine perform reality. Invisible thought waves — you put them into the machine by sending them through the controls and the knobs or you jack it into the jack panel. The jack panel is the brain itself, so you got to patch up the brain and make the brain a living man, that the brain can take what you sending into it and live.

Musicians and the Black Ark
Artists who were produced and/or recorded at the Black Ark include Bob Marley, Junior Byles, The Congos, Junior Murvin, Max Romeo, Mighty Diamonds, The Heptones, Augustus Pablo and Jah Lion. Paul Douglas mentions, "Scratch had a particular sound and everybody was fascinated by his sound. He had this way of putting things together; it was just his sound and it influenced a lot of people.  I’ve even gone to the Black Ark with Eric Gale for that Negril album; I remember myself and Val Douglas, we laid some tracks there, Eric Gale overdubbed stuff on there, but I honestly don’t remember what happened to it. " Lee Perry and his studio were also formative in creating the highly innovative reggae subgenre called dub, in which the producer/engineer becomes the focus of the music, manipulating a pre-recorded track and creating something entirely new using the mixing console as nothing less than an instrument. Perry worked with The Clash and Paul McCartney and his band Wings had recorded there between 1972 and 1979.

The end
In 1979, following years of increasingly bizarre and erratic behavior, Lee "Scratch" Perry, armed with a magic marker, covered every available surface of the Black Ark with impenetrable writings before allegedly burning it to the ground. This event, with the loss of the studio's unique sound and a hiatus in Perry's extraordinary creative skills, effectively ended an era during which much of Jamaica's most innovative sounds had captured the world of music. However, it has been related by several Perry family members that the studio in fact caught fire in 1983 after an ill-fated attempt to rebuild it, the result of an electrical accident. More often than not, Perry has claimed that he personally destroyed the Black Ark due to "unclean spirits" - an allusion to some of the undesirable people who were constantly at the Black Ark in later years. There are also stories that Perry was being blackmailed by gangsters who wanted a cut of the record profits. Perry himself stated in an interview with clashmusic.com regarding the fire, "Too much stress in Jamaica, all the time. Everybody want money, everybody want paid. Everyone got problem and want me to solve their problem. Nobody gave me anything, people just took everything. Everybody take this, and take that. So the atmosphere in the Black Ark studio was changing; it wasn’t like it used to be. Then I decided to make a sacrifice as the energy wasn’t good anymore." Shortly thereafter, he moved to London and then Switzerland.

Houtermans (crater)

Houtermans is a lunar impact crater that is located beside the eastern limb of the Moon, in the region of the surface where visibility is affected by libration. It lies to the east of the crater Kreiken, and south of the crater pairing of Helmert and Kao.

This is an elongated formation created by two or more merged crater formations. The crater formation is twice as wide in longitude as it is in latitude, with the long axis oriented toward the west-northwest. The rim is worn and eroded, with a tiny crater along the northernmost part of the rim, and an inward bulge along the northern half of the inner rim about 60% of the distance from west to east. The interior floor is relatively featureless, with only a few tiny craterlets.

Springsure

Springsure is a rural town and locality in the Central Highlands Region, Queensland, Australia. In the, the locality of Springsure had a population of 950 people.

Geography
Springsure is situated 68.3 km by road south of Emerald, at the southern end of the Gregory Highway, and at the northern end of the Dawson Highway. Springsure is 764 km northwest of Brisbane.

The terrain varies from 270 to 602 m above sea level, with a number of named mountain features:

 * Mount Booramool (-24.1009°N, 148.0569°W) 602 m
 * Mount Zamia (-24.1105°N, 148.0813°W) 559 m

The Minerva Hills National Park is in the north-west of the locality (-24.07389°N, 148.06306°W).
 * Eclipse Gap (-24.0864°N, 148.0936°W)

The town of Springsure serves the surrounding community of cattle farms, and sunflower, sorghum, wheat and chickpea plantations.

Springsure is the hub for several coal mines such as the Minerva Mine and the Rolleston Mine. Significant exploration is ongoing in the district.

Springsure was served by a branch railway from the Central Western railway line. The Springsure branch railway line separated from the main line at Springsure Junction station (now Nogoa station), near Emerald. The locality was served two railway stations:

 * Zamia railway station, serving north of the town (-24.0932°N, 148.0918°W)
 * Springsure railway station, serving the town (-24.1159°N, 148.0852°W)

Springsure Airport is south of the town on Airport Drive (-24.1291°N, 148.0871°W). It is operated by the Central Highlands Regional Council but it is only suitable for light aircraft, has limited facilities, requires permission, and care needs to be taken in relation to wildlife and lifestock.

History
The area had been occupied by Aboriginal people for thousands of years. Gangalu (Gangulu, Kangulu, Kanolu, Kaangooloo, Khangulu) is an Australian Aboriginal language spoken on Gangula country. The Gangula language region includes the towns of Clermont and Springsure extending south towards the Dawson River. Wadja (also known as Wadjigu, Wadya, Wadjainngo, Mandalgu, and Wadjigun) is an Australian Aboriginal language in Central Queensland. The language region includes the local government areas of the Aboriginal Shire of Woorabinda and Central Highlands Region, including the Blackdown Tablelands. the Comet River, and the Expedition Range, and the towns of Woorabinda, Springsure and Rolleston.

Ludwig Leichhardt was the first European to explore the area, doing so between 1844 and 1845. His favourable reports encouraged settlers to move in and settle the land.

In 1861, squatter Horatio Wills and a party of Victorian settlers arrived near modern-day Springsure in 1861. Two weeks later, 19 men women and children, including Wills, were killed by Aboriginal Australian people, the Kairi or Gayiri, in the Cullin-La-Ringo massacre, which was the largest massacre of European settlers by Aboriginal peoples in Australian history. At least 15 Aboriginal men, women and children were killed by the Queensland Native Police and militias of local European colonists and their employees in a series of reprisals over the months that followed. However, the massacre of the 19 European family members was itself a retaliatory response to an earlier shooting of fugitive murderer who was Gayiri tribesman by Jesse Gregson, manager of nearby Rainsworth Station, with Second Lieutenant Alfred March Patrick and Native Police Troops in his command. Prior to the massacre of the 19 colonists, in early 1861 Second Lieutenant Patrick had complained to Charles Dutton, lessee of Bauhinia Downs pastoral lease 148 km south-east of Springsure, that other officers in the Queensland Native Police "...had been able to bag their first Aborigine after only a few weeks in the Force; he had served for six months and still had not yet killed a black." The Old Rainworth Fort was built in 1862 by the colonists of Springsure in order to defend themselves from future raids by Aboriginals. Horatio's son, star cricketer and Australian rules football pioneer Tom Wills, survived the massacre, and remained on site until 1864.

The town takes its name from a pastoral run which was first named Springsure in 1861, after its permanent spring.

The town was surveyed by Charles Frederick Gregory in August 1863. On Sunday 7 April 1867, the first Springsure Presbyterian Church was opened in Charles Street. It was 25 by 20 ft with 12 ft high walls. In 1922, it was replaced by a new church building known as St Andrew's Presbyterian Church. It closed in March 2011 after 145 years. It was at 55 Charles Street (-24.11674°N, 148.09076°W). Springsure State School opened on 14 March 1870 under head teacher John Henry Nicholson, son of an eminent scholar, John Nicholson, a friend of Ludwig Leichhardt.

The Springsure branch railway line opened on 15 August 1887. The section beyond Wurba Junction to Springsure railway station was closed on 26 June 2013.

On 6 December 1919, the Springsure State School Memorial Fountain was dedicated by Mrs Annie Wheeler (née Laurie), a former pupil at the school. The memorial is a marble fountain and commemorates students of the school who served in World War I. In March 1925, the Rev. Father Thomas Andrew Sweeney arrived in Springsure to replace Rev. Father Jules Bucas as the Catholic priest for the parish. Sweeney saw that there was a need for a Catholic school in Springsure and set about building a school and a convent for its teachers in August 1925. The architect was Roy Chipps and the builder E.H. Fletcher, both of Rockhampton. In January 1926 the school and the convent opened in a ceremony led by Roman Catholic Bishop of Rockhampton Joseph Shiel. The convent and school were under the control of Sister Mary Bonaventure of the Sisters of Mercy. The school opened on 2 February 1926 with 64 children. It was originally known as The Convent of the Little Flower, but the name was later changed to Our Lady of the Sacred Heart.

On 16 November 1943, a Douglas C-47A Skytrain broke up in mid-air during a violent storm in the area, and crashed on Rewan Station, around 100 km south of Springsure. All 19 people on board the aircraft perished in the crash.

Minerva Hills National Park was gazetted in 1994.

Ohio State Route 32

State Route 32 (SR 32), also known as the James A. Rhodes Appalachian Highway, is a major east–west highway across the southern portion of the U.S. state of Ohio. It is the eighth longest state route in Ohio, spanning southern Ohio from Cincinnati to Belpre, across the Ohio River from Parkersburg, West Virginia. Except in Belpre, leading up to the bridge into West Virginia, the entire route outside Cincinnati's beltway (Interstate 275, I-275) is a high-speed four-lane divided highway, forming the Ohio portion of Corridor D of the Appalachian Development Highway System.

Route description
SR 32 begins at a junction with Columbia Parkway (U.S. Route 50, US 50) in eastern Cincinnati, near the border between the neighborhoods of Linwood, Mount Lookout, and Columbia-Tusculum, in the area of Lunken Field. It follows Beechmont Avenue, running concurrently with SR 125, until it crosses the Little Miami River, where it turns north on Batavia Road and continues past Newtown.

At the Clermont County line, the road becomes the Appalachian Highway, a four-lane, limited-access divided highway that is part of Corridor D. Between I-275 and Mount Orab, the highway alternates between at-grade and grade-separated interchanges. In Pike County, it runs concurrently with SR 772, then with SR 124. Next, it intersects the ramps to US 23 in Piketon.

There is an unusual interchange configuration near Jackson at US 35, which is an expressway in both directions. Each highway has ramps that exit to the other highway, with right-turning traffic merging onto the second highway, but left-turning traffic coming to an at-grade intersection. Both highways end up having at-grade intersections, albeit with a grade separation of the main highway corridors. This interchange type is sometimes termed a "windmill" interchange, but it is not related to the interchange type of the same name. This junction is the only interchange of its type known to exist in the world.

SR 124 departs at Roads. US 50 rejoins SR 32 in front of the Gordon K. Bush Airport in Albany. The two routes briefly run concurrently with US 33 in Athens.

Near Coolville, SR 7 joins from the south. Just before Belpre, US 50 and Corridor D turn south, crossing the Ohio River on the Blennerhassett Island Bridge toward Parkersburg, West Virginia. SR 32 and the Appalachian Highway continue eastward through Belpre. The Appalachian Highway ends just west of the Ohio River; SR 7 turns north, remaining a limited-access divided highway, while SR 32 continues as a surface street for a few blocks until meeting the Memorial Bridge, a toll bridge across the Ohio River into Parkersburg.

History
The Batavia Turnpike and Miami Bridge Company was incorporated and chartered by the state of Ohio. It built a road, which was "about finished" as of 1841, beginning at the Wooster Turnpike (Eastern Avenue), crossing the Little Miami River on the Union Bridge, and turning east to Batavia. The Ohio Turnpike to Bethel split after the Little Miami was crossed.

The passage of the McGuire Bill in 1911 led to the designation of a large number of Inter-County Highways to be maintained by the Ohio Department of Highways. This network included the Cincinnati-Batavia Road (Inter-County Highway 41, ICH 41) and Batavia-Winchester Road (ICH 125), connecting Cincinnati to Batavia, Williamsburg, Mt. Orab, Sardinia, Winchester, and beyond to an intersection with the West Union-Belfast Road (ICH 122) south of Seaman (where Graces Run Road now meets SR 247). This entire route from Cincinnati to south of Seaman was designated and signed as State Route 74 in 1923. The route left downtown Cincinnati on Eastern Avenue, shared with SR 7 (now US 52) and SR 25 (now SR 125). SR 7 left at Davis Lane (now Airport Road), while SR 25 and SR 74 turned onto Beechmont Avenue, splitting after crossing the Little Miami River. By 1925, the eastern end of SR 74 had been realigned and extended, heading east from Winchester through Seaman and continuing through Peebles to SR 73 northwest of Rarden; the old alignment (Graces Run Road) reverted to local control. Along with US 50, US 52, and SR 125, SR 74 was moved to Columbia Parkway in the early 1940s, and in the early 1950s it was removed from downtown Cincinnati to its present terminus. Due to the existence of I-74 west of Cincinnati, the number was changed to SR 32 in 1962; SR 74 signs were removed in June 1963 after a period of dual signage. The designation had originally been applied to a route running from the Indiana border west of Celina to Marysville; in 1938 it was replaced by US 33 east of St. Marys, and a rerouted SR 54, later SR 29, to the west. Ohio maps:

 * (lists the Inter-County Highways by name)
 * (shows the routing in Cincinnati; shows the original SR 32)
 * (describes the renumbering)
 * (shows the proposed Appalachian Highway)
 * (shows the proposed Appalachian Highway)

The state relocated the road between Mount Carmel and Batavia as a four-lane divided highway in the early 1960s, several years after the parallel SR 125 was widened (but not realigned). Because this was done before or during the renumbering, the old road here is known as Old State Route 74, rather than Old State Route 32 to the east. Improvement of the rest of the road did not take place until after it was added to the Appalachian Development Highway System in 1965. This proposed Appalachian Highway—part of Corridor D—was to run across the southern part of the state from I-275 outside Cincinnati to Belpre. From the east end of SR 32 east of Peebles, the route was to continue northeast, joining SR 772 near Elmgrove, and following SR 124 beyond Jackson to Roads. After continuing northeast to Radcliff, it would parallel SR 346 and a portion of SR 143, merging with US 50 west of Albany and following it past Athens and Coolville to Belpre. A never-built branch, planned as part of Corridor B, would have followed SR 73 and SR 348 from east of Peebles to Lucasville on US 23 (Corridor C).

In 1998, the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) inspected a section of SR 32 in Jackson County due to repeated pavement failure and pothole subsidence featured in the median. Abandoned underground mines were visible near the roadway, but there were no mine maps available for the area. An electrical resistivity tomography was conducted to see if there were mine voids underneath the roadway. Several pits at 9.8 ft were excavated revealing that mine voids were detected. In response to the tests, ODOT closed the highway 1.5 mi east of Wellston and began excavating the roadway to remediate the mine subsidence in November 1998. Work to repair the roadway was completed in March 1999.

In 2002, two interchanges were constructed along SR 32. Olive Branch–Stonelick Road intersection in Clermont County was constructed into an interchange. The $7 million project (equivalent to $ in ) was jointly funded by Clermont County and ODOT's Transportation Review Advisory Council (TRAC). The interchange project was awarded the Donald C. Schramm Award by the American Society of Highway Engineers (ASHE) Triko Valley Section in 2002. Work also began on replacing two at-grade intersections of SR 124 and SR 327 into a single interchange near Wellston in Jackson County. The $9 million project (equivalent to $ in ) was funded jointly by the Federal Highway Safety Infrastructure program and ODOT's Highway Safety Program (HSP). The project was completed in July 2004 at cost of $12.5 million, an increase of $3.5 million than originally estimated (equivalent to $ and $ in, respectively).

Future
The portion of SR 32 in Clermont, Brown, Highland, Adams, and Pike counties was under consideration as the eastward continuation of I-74 from Cincinnati to Piketon in 1991, where it would have connected with I-73 as part of the North-South I-73/I-74 Corridor created in the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of 1991. Heavy local opposition in the late 1990s to build I-74 through Cincinnati and I-73 around Columbus and north through Michigan forced ODOT to cancel any further plans to extend I-74 east of Cincinnati or I-73 from Portsmouth and Columbus to Toledo through Ohio.

A construction project that is a part of the Eastern Corridor, is redesigning SR 32 from I-275 to Batavia. This segment of construction began in 2012. The plan is to remove all signalized intersections east of I-275 and eventually replace it with a limited-access highway to Batavia. Funding for the final segments, which call for the construction of interchanges at Glen Este-Withamsville and Bach-Buxton Roads, amounts to $83.1 million (equivalent to $ in ). The project funding was awarded in November 2019 with construction beginning in 2021. The Consolidated Appropriations Act signed into law in December 2022 also provided funding.

Work began in Brown County in Spring 2023 for a diamond interchange project on S.R. 32 located between Bodman and Brooks-Malott Roads, approx. 1 mile east of Mount Orab. Both existing at-grade intersections will be removed, along with the current traffic signal at S.R. 32 and Brooks-Malott Road. This multi-year, multi-phase project, has an estimated completion of Summer 2025.

Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* (*But Were Afraid to Ask) (film)

Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* (*But Were Afraid to Ask) is a 1972 American sex comedy anthology film directed by Woody Allen. It consists of a series of short sequences loosely inspired by David Reuben's 1969 book of the same name.

The film was an early success for Woody Allen, grossing over $18 million in North America alone against a $2 million budget, making it the 10th highest-grossing film of 1972.

Film structure
The credits at the start and close of the film are played over a backdrop of a large mass of white rabbits, to the tune of "Let's Misbehave" by Cole Porter.

The film consists of seven vignettes, as follows:
 * 1) Do Aphrodisiacs Work? A court jester gives a love potion to the Queen but is foiled by her chastity belt. There are references to Shakespeare's Hamlet throughout.
 * 2) What Is Sodomy? Dr. Ross falls in love with the partner of an Armenian patient, a sheep.
 * 3) Why Do Some Women Have Trouble Reaching an Orgasm? Allen's homage to Italian film-making in general and Casanova 70, Michelangelo Antonioni, and Federico Fellini in particular, about Gina, a woman who can only reach orgasm in public.
 * 4) Are Transvestites Homosexuals? Sam Musgrave, a middle-aged married man, experiments with women's clothes.
 * 5) What Are Sex Perverts? A parody of the television game show What's My Line? called What's My Perversion?, filmed in B&W kinescope-style and hosted by Jack Barry.  The four panelists who attempt to guess the contestant's perversion are Regis Philbin, Robert Q. Lewis, Pamela Mason, and Toni Holt.  After they fail to guess that the contestant's perversion is "Likes to expose himself on subways," a second segment of the show is presented, in which a selected viewer (in this case a rabbi) gets to act out his bondage and humiliation fantasy while his wife eats pork.
 * 6) Are the Findings of Doctors and Clinics Who Do Sexual Research and Experiments Accurate? Victor, a sex researcher, and Helen Lacey, a journalist, visit a Dr. Bernardo, a researcher who formerly worked with Masters and Johnson but now has his own laboratory complete with a lab assistant named Igor.  After they see a series of bizarre sexual experiments underway at the lab and realize that Bernardo is insane, they escape before Helen becomes the subject of another of his experiments.  The segment culminates with a scene in which the countryside is terrorized by a giant runaway breast created by the researcher.  The first part of this segment is a parody of Ed Wood's Bride of the Monster (1955), and especially, The Unearthly (1957), which also stars John Carradine. The second part parodies many of the "Giant" monster movies of the 1950s.
 * 7) What Happens During Ejaculation? The NASA-like mission control center in a man's brain is seen, as he gets involved in a sexual clinch with an NYU graduate (knowledge that she is a graduate of NYU assures coital success). As he achieves orgasm, the soldier-like, white-uniformed sperm are dispatched paratrooper-style into the great unknown.

 * "Red River Valley" (1896) - Music by James Kerrigen - Played on harmonica by Woody Allen

Critical response
The film holds an 89% "Fresh" rating of on the review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, based on 19 reviews.

An August 1972 review by Time said that many of the film's ideas "sound good on paper" but that the "skits wind down rather than take off from the ideas"; the film includes "some broad, funny send-ups of other movies (Fantastic Voyage, La notte), and its fair share of memorably wacky lines" but that "overall it is just Woody marking time and being merely a little funnier".

The Time Out Film Guide noted that some of the film's sketches are "dross, but the parodies of Antonioni (all angst and alienation of a wife who can achieve orgasm only in public places) and of TV panel games ('What's My Perversion?') are brilliantly accurate and very funny. Best of all is the sci-fi parody entitled What Happens During Ejaculation?"

In 2004, Christopher Null, founder of filmcritic.com, called it a "minor classic and Woody Allen's most absurd film ever".

Censorship
The film was banned in Ireland on March 20, 1973. A cut version was passed in 1979 and released theatrically in 1980, removing both a bestiality reference ("the greatest lay I ever had", referring to a sheep) and a man having sex with a loaf of rye bread. The ban on the uncut version was eventually lifted.

Eduard Prugovečki

Eduard Prugovečki (March 19, 1937 – October 13, 2003) was a Canadian physicist and mathematician of Croatian-Romanian descent.

Prugovečki was born in Craiova, Romania to a Romanian mother, Helena (née Piatkowski), and Croatian father, Slavoljub. He completed the first four years of secondary education in Bucharest, before his family was forced to relocate to Zagreb in 1951, due to an anti-Yugoslav campaign by the communist authorities. He finished high school there and proceeded to study physics at the University of Zagreb, getting his diploma in 1959. He joined the Department of Theoretical Physics at the Institute Ruđer Bošković in Zagreb, where he worked as a research assistant until 1961.

In 1961, as the best student of his generation in Zagreb, Prugovečki was sent to Princeton University, New Jersey, United States. He wrote his doctoral thesis under the direction of theoretical physicist Arthur Wightman, and earned his PhD from Princeton in 1964. In 1965, he moved to Canada, where he first spent two years as a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Theoretical Physics in Edmonton, Alberta, and then a year as a lecturer at the University of Alberta.

He taught mathematical physics at the University of Toronto from 1967 to 1997. In 1974, he spent one year as a visiting professor at the Centre national de la recherche scientifique in Marseille, France. Around 1986 he resigned from his membership in the International Association of Mathematical Physics.

His research interests were quantum field theory, unification of theory of relativity and quantum theory and quantum gravity. He introduced the concept of informational completeness.

In 1998 he retired to live in Honey Harbour, Ontario. Prugovečki died at the age of 66 at his home at Lake Chapala, Mexico.

Kapteyn (crater)

Kapteyn is a lunar impact crater that is near the eastern limb of the Moon, to the west of the crater La Pérouse. West of Kapteyn is the slightly smaller Barkla, and farther to the west-northwest is the prominent Langrenus. Von Behring is to the north-northeast.

This crater is circular in shape, although it appears oval when viewed from the Earth due to foreshortening. The rim is only slightly worn, with no craters of note along the edge or the inner walls. There is a shelf along the eastern inner wall. At the midpoint of the interior floor is a central peak.

The crater's name was approved by the IAU in 1964.

Satellite craters
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Kapteyn.

Elizabeth Rowley

Elizabeth Rowley (born c. 1949) is the current leader of the Communist Party of Canada. A long-time politician, writer, and political activist, Rowley served as a school trustee in the former Toronto borough of East York. Before becoming leader of the Communist Party of Canada, Rowley was leader of the Communist Party of Ontario. She has been a member of the Central Executive of the Communist Party of Canada since 1978 and has campaigned for office many times at the municipal, federal and provincial levels. Rowley was elected the leader of the Communist Party of Canada by the party's Central Committee in January 2016, following the retirement of Miguel Figueroa. She is the first female leader of the Communist Party of Canada.

Early life and activism
Born in British Columbia in 1949, Rowley attended the University of Alberta in Edmonton, and was active with the Young Communist League of Canada. She joined the Communist Party in 1967. As a young activist, Rowley campaigned against the War Measures Act during the October Crisis in 1970. She was the Party’s youngest candidate in the 1972 federal election, campaigning on issues such as women's reproductive rights, as abortion was then illegal in Canada, as well as calling for an end to the Vietnam War and Canada's participation. After travelling across the country and spending a short time in Quebec, she moved to southern Ontario and worked as a typesetter apprentice and secretary in Windsor, where she became a local party organizer.

In 1975, she became Ontario Provincial organizer and moved to Hamilton. There, she became involved in many labour struggles to defend jobs, living standards, labour rights, women’s equality, social programs and Canadian sovereignty. While campaigning to ban the Ku Klux Klan, Rowley’s apartment was destroyed by arson and, the following year, her car was fire bombed.

In 1978, Rowley stood for a seat on the Hamilton Board of Control in the last election to that body before it was dissolved prior to the city's 1980 election. Early in the campaign, Rowley was formally asked by the city's Streets and Sanitation Department to remove her election signs from public property, as their placement violated a local bylaw During her campaign, she advocated for lower property taxes for homeowners, the construction of affordable housing, and a 20-cent bus fare. She told the Hamilton Spectator that she was opposed to amalgamation, a proposed expansion to the Hamilton Airport, the Upper Ottawa Street dump, and cutbacks to cultural funding. On election night, Rowley finished 6th out of 8 candidates with 13,320 votes.

Fight to save the CPC
During the Communist Party's internal dispute following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Rowley was one of the first activists expelled from the Party by General Secretary George Hewison after she vociferously opposed his proposals to abandon Marxism-Leninism as an ideology and liquidate the Communist Party of Canada into a broad-left formation. Along with former Party Secretary William Kashtan, Miguel Figueroa, Kimball Cariou and others, she was instrumental in the membership struggle to block attempts to dissolve the Communist Party of Canada during the early 1990s.

Reinstated by the membership, Rowley helped lead an initiative to take Hewison's group to court, becoming the chief negotiator for the pro-Leninist side. The resulting legal settlement saw the assets of the party being split in half, with the Leninist group keeping the Party name. Over 15 per cent of the membership also left the Party during the split. The Communist Party held a new 30th Central Convention in 1991, at which Rowley was again elected to the party leadership. Within a few years, the party had begun another legal challenge, this time to maintain its identity as a registered political party. After the de-registration of the party in 1993, the Figueroa case was launched.

Communist Party of Canada Ontario leader and school trustee
Rowley moved to Toronto in 1988 after being elected leader of the Ontario Committee of the Communist Party, one of the first women leaders of an Ontario political party. She led the Ontario Committee of the Communist Party in a number of campaigns, including against the Canada-United States Free Trade Agreement, as well as the 1990 general election. For many years Rowley has strongly opposed the NAFTA and other trade agreements that she believes threaten public services, promoted public education and medicare, as well as civil rights and labour causes.

During the mid-1990s Rowley became a powerful grassroots spokesperson against the cutbacks imposed by Mike Harris Conservative government in Ontario, including the Ontario Days of Action. Despite red-baiting, Rowley was elected school trustee in the former Toronto borough of East York for Ward 2. Rowley served along with fledgling politicians like Gail Nyberg and Jane Pitfield from 1994 to 1997, when the board was amalgamated. After her term as school trustee, Rowley returned to the Ontario leadership of the Communist Party of Canada. In 2001, she was again re-elected to the Central Executive Committee of the Communist Party of Canada, and also replaced Hassan Husseini as leader of the Ontario Communist Party around the same time.

Since then, Rowley has been a regular columnist for the People's Voice, a working class newspaper which describes itself as a socialist press. She has also written numerous articles on public resistance in Canada that have been translated into several languages and published around the world. Rowley has spoken at international conferences and progressive forums in Europe, America and Asia, and has represented the Communist Party of Canada several times at the International Meeting of Communist and Workers' Parties. She has been outspoken on issues such as the G20 arrests in Toronto, the Rob Ford administration, migrant and immigrant rights in Toronto, for a single, secular school board, for public auto insurance, for peace and anti-racism, proportional representation, and much more.

Leader of the Communist Party
Rowley was elected Party Leader by the Communist Party of Canada's Central Committee at a meeting in Toronto on January 30–31, 2016. The change of leadership followed the retirement of Miguel Figueroa, who stepped down for health reasons after serving in the office for 23 years. Although not the first woman to serve in the Communist Party of Canada's leadership, she is the first female leader of the Communist Party of Canada. In the spring of 2016 Rowley launched a 15-city tour of Canada, speaking to members and supporters of the Communist Party of Canada about the Party's upcoming 38th Central Convention and the CPC's campaign against the Trans Pacific Partnership.

Personal life
In 1981 Rowley married a steelworker, in the middle of the 125 day-long Hamilton Stelco strike. She is the mother of two adult children. In her spare time, Rowley enjoys gardening at her home in East York, Toronto.

Pooh's Heffalump Movie

Pooh's Heffalump Movie (also known as The Heffalump Movie in the working title) is a 2005 American animated musical adventure comedy-drama film produced by the Japanese office of Disneytoon Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. Featuring characters from A. A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh stories, the film is the fourth theatrical animated film in Disney's Winnie the Pooh franchise and DisneyToon Studios's third adaptation of Winnie the Pooh stories, following Piglet's Big Movie (2003) and Springtime with Roo (2004). The film was released on February 11, 2005, to generally positive reviews from critics and grossed $52.9 million worldwide. It was followed by a direct-to-video Halloween sequel titled Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie which came out seven months after the film's release.

Plot
One morning in the Hundred Acre Wood, Winnie the Pooh and his friends Piglet, Tigger, Roo, and Eeyore wake up to hear a loud trumpeting noise and while visiting Rabbit, they find a set of large, circular footprints. Rabbit deduces that elephant-like creatures called "Heffalumps" have invaded and per Roo's suggestion, he organizes an expedition to travel to Heffalump Hollow and capture them. As the group practices hunting for Heffalumps, Roo is forbidden from participating in the expedition due to his young age, prompting him to start his own solo hunt for Heffalumps.

While exploring Heffalump Hollow, Roo meets a young heffalump named Heffridge Trumpler Brompet "Lumpy" Heffalump IV and decides to show the Heffalump to his friends, which Lumpy agrees to after reassurance from Roo that the wood's populace is friendly. After discovering that Pooh and his friends are still on the Heffalump expedition, Roo and Lumpy play games together during which they accidentally make a mess of Pooh's house and Rabbit's garden. Meanwhile, Rabbit and the gang return home from the unsuccessful expedition to find the mess that Roo and Lumpy made; concluding that a Heffalump was the cause of this, they begin setting up traps to catch it.

After hearing Lumpy's mother calling him, Roo and Lumpy begin to search for her. While searching, Lumpy tries using his trunk to call her, but it does not work properly. Roo eventually decides to ask his mother, Kanga, for help. Roo and Lumpy soon find Kanga, but Rabbit, Pooh, Piglet, and Tigger discover Lumpy's identity as a Heffalump and start attacking him. Thinking that Roo lied to him about the inhabitants' friendliness, Lumpy runs away only to get trapped in a cage. Roo apologizes to Lumpy and frees him from the cage, regaining the Heffalump's trust.

Rabbit and the others soon find Lumpy and attack him again until Roo calls them out for their prejudiced views of Heffalumps and urges them to let Lumpy go. Then suddenly, a still-scared Lumpy stumbles off a ledge and accidentally knocks Roo into a large pile of logs. When Roo's friends are unable to move the logs, Lumpy decides to use his trunk to call his mother; after a few unsuccessful tries, he finally gets it right for the first time. Upon finally hearing his calls, Lumpy's mother arrives and successfully rescues Roo. This act of heroism causes Pooh and his friends to realize the Heffalumps' benevolence and they make peace with the creatures.

Cast

 * Nikita Hopkins as Roo (final film role)
 * Kyle Stanger as Lumpy the Heffalump
 * Jim Cummings as Winnie the Pooh and Tigger
 * John Fiedler as Piglet
 * Peter Cullen as Eeyore
 * Ken Sansom as Rabbit
 * Kath Soucie as Kanga
 * Brenda Blethyn as Mama Heffalump

Production
The film was originally intended as a direct-to-video release.

Heffalumps were first mentioned in the original Winnie-the-Pooh books. They appeared in a nightmare sequence – along with their fellow scary creatures, the woozles – in 1968's Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day. Though heffalumps and woozles have appeared in other Disney Pooh media, such as the New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh TV series, this was the first theatrical film to feature a "real" heffalump. Lumpy's design is similar to the heffalumps seen in the 1968 featurette and the song "The Horribly Hazardous Heffalumps!" is in the same style as "Heffalumps and Woozles" from Blustery Day. Carly Simon came up with Lumpy's full name, Heffridge Trumpler Brompet Heffalump, IV.

This was the final theatrically released film to feature voice actor John Fiedler as Piglet. It also marked the final Pooh film to be released in Fiedler's lifetime, as he died four months later from cancer.

This was also the final production of Walt Disney Animation Japan. Once the film was completed, Disney closed the studio in June 2004, eight months before the film's release.

Marketing
Disney released a teaser trailer of Pooh's Heffalump Movie in March 2004 on Springtime with Roo DVD home video releases. The teaser was later attached to theatrical screenings of Home on the Range, Clifford's Really Big Movie, Shrek 2 and Shark Tale. The next trailer for the film was released with the theatrical screenings of The Incredibles, and The Spongebob Squarepants Movie. The trailers for the film were later attached to other Disney home video releases.

Theatrical
The film premiered and opened in theaters on February 11, 2005.

Home media
Pooh's Heffalump Movie was released on DVD and VHS on May 24, 2005 in the United States. In the United Kingdom, the film was released on July 11, 2005, and later in a trilogy DVD on November 7, 2011, along with The Tigger Movie and Winnie the Pooh.

Music
American singer-songwriter Carly Simon wrote five new songs exclusively for the film and performed four of them ("Winnie the Pooh", "Little Mr. Roo", "Shoulder to Shoulder", and "In the Name of the Hundred Acre Wood"), while in "The Horribly Hazardous Heffalumps!" Simon is accompanied by Jim Cummings, Ken Sansom, John Fiedler, and Nikita Hopkins. "The Name Game" features Kyle Stanger and Nikita Hopkins as Lumpy and Roo.

Two songs from Simon's earlier soundtrack for Piglet's Big Movie are also included on the soundtrack, "Winnie the Pooh (Theme Song)" and "With A Few Good Friends", in which Simon is joined by her children Ben Taylor and Sally Taylor.

The soundtrack also features one instrumental track entitled "The Promise" by Joel McNeely, as well as seven classic Winnie The Pooh songs written by the Sherman Brothers.

Songs
Original songs performed in the film include:

Box office
The film made $5.8 million in its opening weekend, a per theater average of $2,296 from 2,529 theaters. The film ended up with a final gross of $18.1 million in North America and $34.8 million in other countries, bringing the total worldwide gross to $52.9 million.

Critical response
Reviews were generally positive, resulting in a rating of 80% on Rotten Tomatoes based on reviews from 89 critics with a 6.54/10 rating. The site's consensus states, "A charming and delightful walk through the Hundred Acres Woods for young viewers."

Sequel
A sequel, Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie, was released direct-to-video on September 13, 2005.

User talk:Totalthinker

Hey man! Thanks for your interest in the World History Project on Wikibooks. I'd love your help. A few comments-

1. The California Standard (thingy :) is the standard base curriculum imposed by the the American state of California's Board of Education (American education is not nationalized, see Education in the United States, which, interestingly, is mostly my work!). I thought it was was a little funny to use them in Wikibooks, and the AP standard applies not only to the entire United States, but also to many international students who wish to study at American universities (or colleges, the terms are generally interchangable in common usage in the States). I don't intend to make it an AP World History guide, I just thought that once I get it into shape, many people who I contact will be AP history teachers who will want a brief overview of the exam for their students.

2. I'd love your help and thanks for showing interest! If you'd like to know where you can start, give me a ring and I'll get right on it. You can even be strictly a proofreader/reviewer if you wish. I really would appreciate any help you can give! Much of the stuff there now, especially my Golden Rule, is mine because it was in such poor shape when I arrived and in such neglect that I threw a bunch of old stuff out and basically only kept the chapter structure. And if you think it's informal now, you should have seen it before!

3. I thought I was the only person who knew about HyperHistory! However, I plan to go into much more detail than them, and frankly I considered using their maps, with appropriate consent of course, but I was turned off by the fact that there are so few, undetailed, and relatively broad maps. I also personally don't approve of using a single person's book as a guide/model. The AP standard is easier to apply, and has had many college-educated professionals develop it. But that doesn't mean I'm adverse to using it's information or structural content. We can use information without plagiarism from these sources as long as we don't cite word for word (it would become cumbersome to create a bibliography right now, I propose an eventual reference works list at the bottom of each chapter for further reading, however).

Thanks! (by the way, I sent this to you in your email as well because I wasn't sure if you'd been active recently!)--User:naryathegreat(t) 03:37, Feb 13, 2005 (UTC)
