Edmund L. Taylor

Edmund Landor Taylor (December 14, 1860 – September 9, 1934 ) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1913 to 1915, as a member of the Conservative Party.

Taylor was born in Leeds County, Canada West (now Ontario), the son of Henry J. Taylor and Mary Redmond. He attended high school in Gananoque, and moved to Manitoba in 1881. Taylor continued his education, and attended the Winnipeg Collegiate Institute and the Manitoba Provincial Normal School, receiving a First Class Teacher's Certificate. He worked as the deputy register of Rock Lake County from 1881 to 1883, and worked as an educator from 1883 to 1886.

In 1886, he began training as a law student with James Albert Manning Aikins, later the Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba. He continued his studies in the firms of Tupper, Phippen & Tupper after 1892, and was called to the bar in 1895. He worked as a barrister-at-law after this time. Taylor was also a director of several companies. In 1902, Taylor married Una C. Preston. In religion, he was a Methodist. He was named a King's Counsel in 1907.

He sought election to the House of Commons of Canada in a by-election for the riding of Winnipeg, held on April 27, 1894. This by-election was called after the previous election of Hugh John Macdonald was declared void. Running as the Conservative candidate, Taylor lost to Liberal Richard Willis Jameson by 1,115 votes.

He campaigned for the Manitoba legislature in the Mountain constituency in the 1910 provincial election, and lost to Liberal candidate James Baird by 282 votes. He was elected to the legislature three years later in a by-election for the Gimli constituency, held on May 12, 1913. On this occasion, Taylor defeated Liberal candidate A. Eggerston by 842 votes. He served in the legislature as a backbench supporter of Rodmond Roblin's government.

Taylor was re-elected for the constituency of St. George in the 1914 provincial election, defeating Liberal Skuli Sigfusson by 101 votes. He continued to serve as a government backbencher.

The Roblin administration was forced to resign from office in 1915 amid a serious corruption scandal. A new election was called, which the Liberal Party won in a landslide. Taylor was not a candidate for re-election.

Taylor died in Winnipeg in 1934.

I recently listed the article List of Harry Potter chapter titles in other languages for deletion, and this article was to be merged with that one. It is a pointless list of all the foreign language chapter titles in HP book one. It is useless in an English encyclopedia, as it has almost no English in the entire article, and it should be deleted. Brendan OShea 04:01, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

Ima Robot

Ima Robot is an American band based in Los Angeles, California, United States, that formed in the late 1990s. They have released several albums, EPs, and singles, most notably Ima Robot in 2003, Search and Destroy and Monument to the Masses in 2006, and Another Man's Treasure in 2010. The band's song, "Greenback Boogie", a B-side to Another Man's Treasure, is the main theme song of the USA Network legal drama series Suits.

History
In the 1990s, singer/rapper Alex Ebert and guitarist Tim "Timmy the Terror" Anderson worked together under various names including 13's Lucky, The Window Club, and Eiffel Tower Window Masters before deciding on the band name Ima Robot. The phrase "Ima Robot" came from an inside joke between members of the band, which Ebert has stated "was something that we thought was really, really, really, really funny, and I can't, for the life of me, remember why" In 1997, the duo recruited keyboardist/bassist Oliver "Oligee" Goldstein. The trio would perform with various frequently changing members until they recruited drummer Rich Lambert in December 2000 and bassist Justin Meldal-Johnsen in November 2001. The band recorded numerous untitled demo CDs through the late 90's and early 2000's.

Signing with Virgin Records
In mid/late 2002, Ima Robot was signed to Virgin Records. As Ebert described, the first thing Virgin Chairman/CEO said about the band: "The first thing Matt Serletic said was that seeing us was like seeing the Ramones for the first time, and that he felt this kind of energy that we needed to capture and not try to gloss and glean over. " Lambert was let go the day after the band was signed and was replaced by studio drummer Joey Waronker.

Ima Robot
On September 16, 2003, Ima Robot released their first full-length album, the self-titled Ima Robot. The album featured the singles "Dynomite" and "Song #1" (released in the UK only).

In 2004, Waronker and "Oligee" left the band. Meldal-Johnsen followed in 2005, with former Oleander drummer Scott Devours. Tim Anderson's cousin, whom he had never met before Devours, auditioned and took over the drums. Filip Nikolić took over the bass and Andy Marlow started playing the keyboards. In the process of writing their second album, the band recorded the EP "Search and Destroy", which they released and distributed independently at shows starting on April 5, 2006.

Monument to the Masses
On September 12, 2006, they released their second album Monument to the Masses, which featured the singles "Creeps Me Out" and "Lovers in Captivity".

Departure from Virgin Records and post-departure
In April 2007, the band won their independence from Virgin Records and continued to work unsigned under the management of Alexis Rivera of Echo Park Records. The song "Gangster" premiered on the band's MySpace on April 15, 2008, with its lyrics posted in a blog entry by the band. In 2010 the band announced the upcoming release of their new album, Another Man's Treasure, and released the song "Ruthless" on the Internet.

Ebert remained frustrated with Virgin, saying in a 2016 interview with Transverso Media that, "pretty unironically I ended up feeling like a robot by the end of the process because of the major label thing." During that period, they were being represented by the Werewolf Heart label.

In June 2008, Lars Vognstrup joined the group, having previously played with Nikolić in the band Junior Senior. In 2009, Orpheo McCord (of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros and of Fool's Gold), Jason "ComputerJay" Taylor, and Jonas Petri Megyessi joined the band.

On January 6, 2011, the band played six songs live on KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic. This was the first time since Monument to the Masses tours that the new band lineup had played live. Ima Robot's B-side "Greenback Boogie" from the album Another Man's Treasure has been featured as the theme song of the USA Network legal drama, Suits, since 2011.

The band has been inactive since 2011 as its members have been busy with side projects. Alex Ebert has stated that he is "still in Ima Robot."

Bullsbrook, Western Australia

Bullsbrook (formerly Bullsbrook East) is a northern suburb of Perth, Western Australia in the outer metropolitan area. It is located in the City of Swan. The original Bullsbrook townsite is located slightly west of the current town, on the 17 km mark of the Midland Railway. Bullsbrook is also home to the RAAF Pearce airbase, a major training facility for the Royal Australian Air Force. The suburb is situated on the Great Northern Highway, 25 kilometres north of the Midland Strategic Regional Centre. It is well serviced by several major transport networks including the Great Northern Highway, Railway Parade and the Brand Highway to the north, Chittering Road to the east and Neaves Road to the west. Bullsbrook is also adjacent to the State rail network, providing an opportunity for the development of an intermodal freight transport hub. The site is further strengthened by linkage to the planned Perth-Darwin National Highway via Stock Road.

Although traditionally a predominantly rural suburb, the release in 2008 of the Bullsbrook Commercial Centre offers great scope for expansion in the commercial and light industrial land use capability of Bullsbrook. In addition, the City of Swan is awaiting the State's approval of the draft Bullsbrook Townsite and Rural Strategy which would see further industrial, commercial and residential growth in Bullsbrook.

History
Settlement of the area dates from the 1890s, following the construction of the Midland railway line and military land use commenced from 1935. The most significant development occurred from the 1970s, with further population growth in the early 1990s.

Regarding the origin of the name, the Western Australian Department of Land Information states: "...the name originates from the railway station, established during the construction of the Midland Railway in the 1890s and named after an adjacent watercourse, Bull's Brook. The watercourse may have been named after Lt Henry Bull who was granted Swan Location 1 about 8km south on 15 May 1831. Another possibility is that the watercourse was named after Richard ("Bull") Jones, one of Henry Bull's servants, who resided in the region for many years."

In September 2022, the construction of Western Australia’s quarantine centre near the RAAF Base Pearce was completed. The centre cost about $400 million and can house 500 people.

Population
In the 2016 census, there were 5,185 people in Bullsbrook, 66.8% of people were born in Australia. The next most common countries of birth were England 9.7% and New Zealand 3.6%. 84.9% of people spoke only English at home. The most common responses for religion were No Religion 36.1%, Anglican 19.5% and Catholic 18.2%.

Education
Bullsbrook has one school, Bullsbrook College, which takes students from kindergarten to year 12. It was established in 1952. There was previously another school that was built in 1901, and that the present school replaced.

Climate
The Bureau of Meteorology operates a weather station at RAAF Base Pearce. Bullsbrook has a Mediterranean climate (Köppen climate classification Csa), like the rest of the Perth metropolitan region. Bullsbrook is among the hottest parts of the metropolitan region during summer.

All about "thumb"

In this example: [[Image:Lange-MigrantMother02.jpg|250px|thumb|[[Dorothea Lange]] what does the word thumb do? At first I thought it meant "make the image a standard thumb size" but a size is already specified by "250px". Don't they contradict each other? CDA 01:40, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

If someone adds thumb to an image then why would they also add "250px"? I see a lot of images like that. It seems like you would want one or the other.
 * I always thought the main purpose of "thumb" was to frame the picture, and thus also allow a caption. I think it's the only way. You don't need to use "thumb" as a size function at all, unless that happens to be the size you want as well. Dmcdevit·t 03:32, August 28, 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Third eye

The Consept
Considering the concept of a third eye comes from Hindu teachings, the fact that the article talks about it through christian, gnostic and taoist teachings is a bit stupid. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.163.200.24 (talk) 23:31, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Yep. oknazevad (talk) 22:24, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
 * No. It's entirely from Western New Age Spirituality (Theosophy, etc.). In ancient scriptures, chakras are visualization suggestions, not descriptions of existing structures. See http://hareesh.org/blog/2016/2/5/the-real-story-on-the-chakras .  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.205.217.211 (talk) 19:51, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

In popular culture
I added a short section referencing these pages; it was immediately reverted with the tag "Unsourced and this article is about an ancient mystical concept, not pop culture."

I think this misses the point.

Many Wikipedia pages have a section "In popular culture", in order to differentiate the material in other sections, which concern the topic of the page, from material that has been used, abused and distorted by the popular media.

The reason for including the section is that, many people in the English-speaking world who have heard of the third eye got their information from this bestselling book. It seems to me that it is worth mentioning the book, while pointing out that its ideas are not based in fact. The source for the statements made is the "Main Articles".

 * Yes, I was the editor who reverted your edit. Some articles have popular culture sections, but there is no consensus on adding them to all articles. It may be worth including in this article, but certainly not in a dedicated section (in my opinion). At the very least, there would need to be at least one reliable (secondary) source that discusses third eye in relation to the book. - MrX 16:44, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Well, I could copy references from the "Main Article" pages, but I did not want to do that because:
 * (a) (paradoxically given the reason for the reversion) I felt that adding references that are really about the popular book was not appropriate for a page on the spiritual concept
 * (b) I have not read those references, so my propagation of them would be inappropriate. I could find a print reference that I have read, but this would take an inordinate amount of time, and it would not be particularly helpful to readers if it cannot be found on the Web.
 * (c) I assumed, perhaps incorrectly, that references to other Wikipedia pages would be sufficient.

 * In any case, Avoiding_common_mistakes warns us against failing to be bold. "Yes, you might mess things up a little. But someone else will probably clean up after you. Really, go ahead and change it." Reversion is the enemy of this approach.  I don't care if my text is ruthlessly edited, removed from its own section, etc etc, because that is the whole point of Wikipedia; but if it is reverted, no one else gets the chance to improve it. - 212.159.102.166 (talk) 17:28, 25 November 2013 (UTC) KJN

This should not be conflated with "mind's eye".
The phrase "mind's eye" refers to mental imagery and not to mystical powers of heightened perception; earlier revisions of this page (prior to 29 January 2017) specifically mentioned that the third eye is not to be confused with the mind's eye. Since 29 January 2017, this page now conflates the two, and has inappropriate references to aphantasia and mental imagery (concepts that pertain to the "mind's eye" but not to the "third eye".)

Lambert & Butler

Lambert & Butler is a former English tobacco manufacturing company, established in 1834 in Clerkenwell, Central London, that operated as a private business until 1901 when it merged with other UK manufacturers to form the Imperial Tobacco Company. Apart from tobacco products L&B also released several cigarette card sets from the 1910s to the 1930s. They consisted of various topics including motor cars, locomotives, horsemanship, aviation, and association football.

Nowadays L&B is a brand owned and commercialised by Imperial Brands. Lambert & Butler is mainly commercialised in the United Kingdom, having been exported to Luxembourg, Netherlands, Germany, France, Austria, Spain and Egypt. As of 2019, L&B was the leading cigarette brand in the United Kingdom.

History
Lambert & Butler cigarettes were launched in Clerkenwell in 1834 by Charles Edward Lambert (1814–1887) and Charles Butler (1813–1882), who were among the earliest British cigar manufacturers.

They eventually started selling cigarettes which were being manufactured by John Wood & Son before Lambert & Butler started manufacturing it themselves in 1876 before merging with Imperial Tobacco in 1901. In the late-1800s, it accounted for 20% of total sales value and controlled a large piece of the market with an 1870 capital of £87,200 and 1887 total capital of £175,000, alongside major companies W.D. & H.O. Wills (now Imperial Tobacco) Cope Bros & Co, Hignett Tobacco, John Player & Sons and Stephen Mitchell & Son. In this time, the first largest company in the industry was Wills followed by Cope with Lambert & Butler a strong third and one of Lambert & Butler's most popular brands was Best Bird's Eye.

In 1903, after merging with Imperial, an executive committee was formed with one of the members being Charles Lambert. Lambert & Butler also exported to Jamaica with brands Trumpeter and Needle Point. It established its own bonded warehouse in 1891 and was located on Bucknall Street near Long Acre in Westminster, London. Charles Lambert, who was called "the best judge of a Havana cigar" also ran a tobacco shop on Drury Lane. Lambert & Butler was also part of the "big six", with Wills, Taddy & Co, Cope Bros, Hignett Bros and John Player & Sons.

Taking advantage of the rise in popularity of football cards in the 1920s and 1930s, Lambert & Butler released a set of association football trading cards in 1931. It consisted of a series of painted portraits that included West Ham's star centre-forward, Vic Watson. Nevertheless, the outbreak of World War II forced tobacco companies to cease production of cigarette cards.

In 1958, the remaining L&B factory was closed. Production continues at other Imperial Tobacco subsidiaries. The Drury Leane headquarters were closed in 1961.

The brand was relaunched in 1979 after an absence. In the late-1990s, their campaign was a distinguished Lambert with his calm butler, Butler, exchanging humorous quotes until the last one which had their faces blurred and the butler saying "It seems we've been outlawed, Sir". In 1999, Lambert & Butler owned 17% of the British cigarette market, 5% more than Benson & Hedges. Due to Imperial Tobacco not owning the trademark on the original name, Lambert & Butler is known in some countries as either L&B or Great & British. It is among the popular and less expensive local brands and, as of 2007, Lambert & Butler King Size were the best-selling brand of cigarettes in the UK.

In 2010, the Lambert & Butler brand got officially trademarked under the following words: "L&B LAMBERT & BUTLER ORIGINAL". The brand appealed a file for registration on 17 July 2013 and got officially registered on the 22 July 2014.

In 2016, the last factory that still produced cigarettes in Nottingham, United Kingdom which also produced Lambert & Butler cigarettes, closed its doors for the final time. Imperial Tobacco moved the production to either Poland or Germany, which would increase their profits to £320,000,000.

Products
Lambert & Butler cigarettes are sold in silver full strength, silver superkings, gold (formerly lights) and menthol. "Glide Tec" Packs are also now for sale and fast becoming the standard pack for this brand. These packs have a small window on the front of the pack which allows the user to slide up the inner pack with their thumb. This lifts the lid of the outer pack, and the inner pack containing the cigarettes slides out to reveal the cigarettes. Glide Tec packs are available in the silver, gold and menthol king size variants. In 2002, following a European Union ban on descriptive labels on tobacco, Lambert & Butler renamed its Lights band to Gold and its Ultra Lights to Blue.

In April 2012, Lambert & Butler Fresh Burst and Lambert & Butler Profile were added to the range. Lambert and Butler Fresh Burst cigarettes contain a capsule within the filter-tip, which when squeezed, pops and mentholates the cigarette. Lambert and Butler Profile Cigarettes are thinner in diameter, targeted at the busy smoker, who desires a cigarette which provides the same nicotine level as a standard size cigarette but in a smaller package, making the cigarette quicker to smoke. Fresh Burst and Profile are available in price marked or standard 20 packs.

In February 2014, Imperial Tobacco announced they would expand their Lambert & Butler range with a new variant called L&B Blue. It would be available from the 3rd of March 2014 onwards.

In May 2015, a survey concluded that Lambert & Butler Kingsize was the most popular variant in the range in 2013 and 2014, followed by Lambert & Butler Gold, Lambert & Butler Menthol and Lamber & Butler White.

In May 2020, Lambert & Butler Menthol, Lambert & Butler Crushball and Lambert & Butler Ice Burst were banned due to menthol cigarettes becoming outlawed across Europe, including the United Kingdom.

Kaba Gandhi No Delo

Kaba Gandhi No Delo (lit. 'Kaba Gandhi's residence') is a house in Rajkot, Gujarat, India. It was Indian independence leader Mahatma Gandhi's primary family home from 1881 to 1915. It is built in the traditional Saurashtrian architectural style and houses a permanent pictorial exhibition called Gandhi Smriti.

History
Mahatma Gandhi's father Karamchand Gandhi was popularly known as Kaba Gandhi and thus his home was known as Kaba Gandhi No Delo in Gujarati language, meaning 'Kaba Gandhi's residence'. Kaba Gandhi was a native of Porbandar and moved to Rajkot in 1874 when he was appointed Diwan (prime minister) of the Rajkot State. The family moved Rajkot two years later. The Rajkot State gave him 400 sqyd of land in early 1880 where he constructed the house and the family moved in new house in 1881 from a rented house. Mahatma Gandhi was 12 years old when they moved here. He married Kasturba and had the birth of their elder sons, Harilal and Manilal, during his stay in the house from 1881 to 1887. Kaba Gandhi died in 1885. It was a primary family home until 1915, including during those years when Gandhi stayed in London and in South Africa. Later on, on return from South Africa in 1915, he established Kochrab Ashram in Ahmedabad.

The Gandhi family sold the house in 1920. After independence of India, the Government of Saurashtra State bought it in 1948 from the owner then. It was handed over to the Gandhi Smriti Trust in 1969 on the birth centenary of Gandhi. Putliba Udyogmandir Trust, an NGO, conducted educational and sewing classes for few years from here before moving elsewhere. It houses a permanent exhibition now, called Gandhi Smriti.

Architecture and features
The haveli is built in the traditional Saurashtrian (Kathiawari) architectural style featuring an arched gateway leading to the courtyard surrounded by rooms. The house is marked 8, Kadiya Navline. It is located on Lakhajiraj Road and off Gheekanta Road.

The building has two floors. It is painted in white and yellow. It is has a large gate compared to other gates and small shops in a neighbourhood. The house has nine rooms and a kitchen adjacent to the courtyard. There is a permanent pictorial exhibition in the house now which displays photographs, paintings, objects and the belongings of and related to Mahatma Gandhi. There is a hand pump in the courtyard.

Hebgen Dam was built across the Madison River in 1914 by Montana Power Company to create Hebgen Lake.

During the 7.5 magnitude 1959 Hebgen Lake earthquake in mid-August, the dam was damaged, primarily because of such intense ground movement that water surged over the dam crest four different times, but it was fixed several weeks later. The epicenter of the quake was determined to be 20 miles beneath the bottom of Hebgen Lake. Seismologists reported it to be the fourth largest quake recorded in the United States up to that time.

On August 30, 2008, two of the dam's four hydraulic gates failed, releasing 3400 ft3 per second of water into the Madison River. The normal discharge of the dam is 900 ft3 per second and the gate failure caused a 1-foot rise in the river.

On November 30th, 2021, the hydraulic gates failed again causing downstream flows to rapidly drop. Nearby locals quickly organized an effort to rescue stranded fish trapped in pools in the side channels. An ongoing lawsuit against Northwestern Energy (as of 2024) claims that NWE failed in its requrirement to keep streamflows above 150 CFS.

Hou Yi

Hou Yi is a mythological Chinese archer. He was also known as Shen Yi and simply as Yi (羿). He is also typically given the title of "Lord Archer". He is sometimes portrayed as a god of archery or a xian  descended from heaven to aid mankind. Other times, he is portrayed as either simply half-divine or fully mortal. His wife, Chang'e, is one of the lunar deity.

Lore
In Chinese mythology, there were originally 10 suns, in some forms of this myth they are the sons or grandsons of the Jade Emperor. Initially, the 10 suns would cross the sky one by one, but one day the 10 suns decided to come out all at once so that they could play with each other, and scorched the earth. Hou Yi was tasked by the mythical Emperor Yao—in some versions, the Jade Emperor—to rein in the suns. Hou Yi first tried to reason with the suns. When that did not work, he then pretended to shoot at them with his bow to intimidate them. When the suns again refused to heed Hou Yi's warnings, he began to shoot at them one by one. As each one fell, they turned into three-legged crows. Finally, only one sun was left. King Yao and the sun's mother Xihe asked for him to be spared for the prosperity of man. In other variants, Hou Yi's final arrow was stolen, either by a brave boy or by Emperor Yao himself, who realized that the land requires a sun.

Hou Yi was also known for the slaying, maiming and imprisonment of several other mythical beasts such as the Yayu, Zaochi, Jiuying, Dafeng, Fengxi, and Xiushe. He had been directed by King Yao to go after these creatures as they were all causing trouble for humans.

Hou Yi was gifted the pill of immortality by the gods. One of Hou Yi's apprentices called Feng Meng broke into Hou Yi's house in search of the pill of immortality while Hou Yi was out hunting. His wife Chang'e swallowed the pill before Peng Meng could get it. After eating the pill, Chang'e rose up to the moon.

In another version, after Hou Yi shot down the suns, he was proclaimed as a hero-king by the people. However, once he was crowned king, he became a tyrant and subjugated his people. Hou Yi had also obtained an immortality elixir from Xiwangmu to live forever. Chang'e was afraid that if he lived forever, that people would forever be victim to his cruelty. Therefore, Chang'e consumed the elixir herself and floated away. As she did, Hou Yi tried to shoot her down but failed. For her sacrifice, people have taken to honoring her during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Heavenly Questions section of the anthology Chu Ci recorded: "The Emperor sent Hou Yi to reform the people of Xia. Why did he shoot Hebo and take his wife Luoshen?" The poem tells the story of Hou Yi, who was sent by the Emperor to reform the people of Xia. He was a skilled archer and hunter, and he used his skills to rid the world of many monsters and pests. However, he also became arrogant and tyrannical, and he eventually killed Hebo, the god of Yellow River and took his wife Luoshen as his own.

Historical references
Hou Yi was also depicted as a tribal leader of ancient China in classical sources, usually conflated with the legendary figure. According to the Bamboo Annals, Hou Yi attacked the Xia dynasty during the first year of King Taikang's reign, occupying the Xia capital Zhenxun while Taikang was hunting beyond the Luo River. In the eighth year of the reign of Taikang's nephew Xiang of Xia., Hou Yi was deposed by his lieutenant Han Zhuo. Recent research thought the legend of Hou Yi shooting Ten Sun originated with the wrongly copy of Hou Yi shooting Xiang.

In popular culture

 * Hou Yi appears in the video game Smite as a hunter
 * In the Tencent series Three-Body, Hou Yi is depicted on the wall of Shi Qiang's office and is mentioned by the characters as an allusion to the Trisolarans who inhabit a chaotic multi-star system.
 * Hou Yi appears in ''Over the Moon' as a ghost in flashbacks.
 * Hou Yi appears in the 2022 mobile RPG game, Dislyte, renamed as Dayi. His ability in the game references the shooting down of the 9 suns.
 * In the light novel "second Life ranker" the character Bow god Jang Wei is said to be Hou yi's disciple.
 * Mo Xiang Tong Xiu's 2016 xianxia/wuxia web novel Modao Zushi may reference this mythology with its “Sunshot Campaign.” The story features a tyrannical clan seemingly too powerful to defeat; lesser clans’ union against them—to “shoot down the sun” —is called the Sunshot Campaign.
 * Hou Yi's bow appears as an item in the video game Spelunky 2.
 * Hou Yi appears as a character in the S. L. Huang novella Burning Roses.
 * While Hou Yi does not make a direct appearance in the Touhou Project video game series, He plays an important role in the backstory of the fifteenth game Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom. Hou Yi's shooting down of the 9 suns resulted in the death of the son of the game's, final boss, Junko. This event leads Junko to form a grudge against Hou Yi's wife, Chang'e, and her plot for revenge leads to an invasion of the moon that forms the basis of the game's plot. One of the stars he shot down was Apollo, who served as the sun in Hell. This earns him and Chang'e the ire of the Hell goddess Hecatia Lapislazuli, who serves as the game's extra stage boss.

Ole Olsen (composer)

Ole Olsen (4 July 1850 – 4 November 1927) was a Norwegian organist, composer, conductor and military musician.

Life
Olsen was born in Hammerfest, in the county of Finnmark. His mother died when he was young. His father was Iver Olsen, a craftsman and an amateur musician who played the organ at the local church. From a young age Olsen learnt to play the piano and the violin. At the age of five he composed his first small piece, and by the age of seven he sometimes stood in for his father playing the church pipe organ.

In 1865 Olsen went to Trondheim as apprentice to a craftsman. He also studied composition and the organ from Fredrick and Just Lindeman, and sometimes substituted for Just as the organist in the Trondheim cathedral. In 1870, having given up his apprenticeship, he moved to Leipzig where he studied under Oscar Paul at the music conservatory until 1874. There he wrote his Symphony in G major, and began his opera Stig Hvide.

In 1874 he became a teacher in Christiania (now Oslo), where he spent most of the rest of his life. He conducted the Christiania Artisans' Choral Society from 1876–1880, the Music Society orchestra from 1877–1880, and the freemason's orchestra from 1894–1908. From 1884 he was the music director of the Akershus 2nd Brigade. From 1899–1920 he was a music inspector.

He had married Marie Hals, the daughter of piano manufacturer Karl Hals, in 1879. He died in Oslo on November 4, 1927. His interment was at Cemetery of Our Saviour.

Music

Olsen's operas were influenced by Richard Wagner. Another strong influence was the traditional Joik form of song, as he was involved in collecting folk tunes while in the military. These influenced the large number of military marches he composed, and the nationalist tradition was also represented in his stage works.

His compositions include:

 * operas
 * Stig Hvide (1872–76)
 * Lajla (1893)
 * Stallo (1902)
 * Klippeøerne (1904–10)
 * oratorio

Template talk:US-writer-stub

Untitled
Would it be possible to add content to the code that would automatically add stubbed items to Category:American writers? That would be a helpful addition, obviating the need for a separate action at the time of article composition as a stub. This would need to be a parameterized alteration so that the indexing term for the category is required at the time of stub template addition. Courtland 04:18, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I've never seen that done to other stubs, and I don't think it's desired behaviour. Once the stub has grown enough you are supposed to remove the stub tag and then you'd have to add to it anyway. Pluss if it's for example a novelist then  should be used instead and the American writers part becomes redundant contributing to bloading that category unnessesarily. It might be an idea to add the stub cat itself as a child of Category:American writers though. That way people browsing for American writers will be more likely to find it. In fact I think I'll do that right now. --Sherool 14:19, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

I think this template should refer to "American writers" instead of "US writers", just because that seems like a more grammatically correct way of stating nationality, and it seems to have become convention on Wikipedia. Andrea Parton 17:34, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

US -> U.S. per MoS

The Rainbow Fish

The Rainbow Fish is a children's picture book drawn and written by Swiss author and illustrator, Marcus Pfister, and translated into English by J. Alison James. The book is best known for the distinctive shiny foil scales of the Rainbow Fish. Decode Entertainment turned the story into an animated television series of the same name, which aired on the HBO Family television channel in the United States and Teletoon in Canada from 1999 until 2000.

Plot
The story is about a small rainbowfish with shiny, multi-colored scales, unlike the other fish from his shoal. One day, a small blue fish (named Blue in the TV series) who envied the shiny scales asks the Rainbow Fish if he could have one of his; the Rainbow Fish refuses in a rude manner. The small blue fish tells the other fish about the Rainbow Fish's harshness, and as a result, the other fish do not want to play with him any more.

His only remaining friend, the starfish, tells him to go visit the wise octopus (named Wanda in the TV series) for advice. When he goes to the cave where she lives, she tells the Rainbow Fish that he must share his scales with the other fish. She continues that if he shares his scales, he may no longer be the most beautiful fish, but he will be happy. The Rainbow Fish tries to say that he cannot share his favorite scales, but Wanda disappears in a cloud of ink.

When he encounters the small blue fish again, the Rainbow Fish shares one of his precious silver scales and sees the little fish's joy. Though one of his shiny scales is gone, he immediately feels much better. Very soon, the Rainbow Fish is surrounded by the other fish requesting scales, and he shares one with each of them. Soon, everyone in the ocean has one shiny scale—including the Rainbow Fish. Even though he gave away all his scales and only had one shiny scale left, the Rainbow Fish is finally happy.

Theme
Its central theme is about the importance of sharing with others and how that leads to happiness. Publishers Weekly described the book as a "cautionary tale about selfishness and vanity".

Origin
The Rainbow Fish was originally published in 1992 by Swiss book publisher NordSüd Verlag. At that time, Marcus Pfister suggested using holographic foil for the scales, a technique used in graphic design but not yet seen in children's books. Pfister said in an interview, "The expense was a big issue. Because of the foil, each copy of the book cost double the amount of the normal price of producing a book. With the cost, it was quite difficult for Davy [the editor] to decide whether to do the foil. So we decided that I’d get only 50% of my usual royalties for the book, and only that way was it possible to make it work."

The Rainbow Fish was developed from another book Pfister had previously illustrated, The Sleepy Owl. In an interview with Publishers Weekly, Pfister said, "Well, I had published some other books after The Sleepy Owl – there were some Christmas books and Penguin Pete – but Brigitte Sidjanski, founder of NordSüd, had always liked my first book, and suggested I do another book similar to that. So I thought that if a new book was to have something in common with that book, the character should resemble an owl. But I really didn’t want to draw another bird. Then one day, I had a copy of The Sleepy Owl by my desk, and I looked closely at that character, and I realized I could create a fish character that would be quite similar to the owl. So the feathers became scales. And then I began thinking about the story, and I came up with the idea of a colorful fish."

Book series
There are sequels in the Rainbow Fish book series:

 * Rainbow Fish to the Rescue!: About the acceptance and integration of foreigners.
 * Rainbow Fish and the Big Blue Whale: About arguments and how to settle them.
 * The Rainbow Fish and the Sea Monsters' Cave: About irrational and rational fears.
 * Rainbow Fish Finds his Way: With the help of his new friends, Rainbow Fish finds his way back home.
 * Rainbow Fish Discovers the Deep Sea: About modesty and happiness.
 * Good Night, Little Rainbow Fish: About the love between mother and child.
 * You Can't Win Them All, Rainbow Fish: About fairness and good sportsmanship.
 * Rainbow Fish and the Storyteller: About lies and exaggeration.

There is also a Spanish language edition of The Rainbow Fish, El Pez Arco Iris, as well as bilingual editions in English paired with Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Italian, Russian, and Vietnamese.

Five Rainbow Fish stories, The Rainbow Fish; Rainbow Fish and the Big Blue Whale; Rainbow Fish Discovers the Deep Sea; You Can’t Win Them All, Rainbow Fish; and Good Night, Little Rainbow Fish are featured in the collection, The Rainbow Fish and His Friends.

Acclaim
The Rainbow Fish has sold over 30 million copies internationally, and has been released in 50 languages (currently available in 37).

From Romper: The Rainbow Fish follows a little fish in the ocean, but, as readers learn, this isn't just an average, everyday fish, it's “the most beautiful fish in the entire ocean.” Unlike ordinary fish, this one has gorgeous, sparkly scales in various shades of beautiful colors. The fish could keep all of his beauty to himself, but instead, he shares it with his friends and feels immense joy in doing so. This book is full of gorgeous artwork.

From School Library Journal: The delicate watercolors of underwater scenes are a perfect foil to the glittering scales that eventually form a part of each fish's exterior. This is certainly a story written to convey a message, but in its simplicity, it recalls the best of Lionni. Besides, what three-year-old doesn't need reinforcement about sharing?

Booklist said "Will fascinate preschoolers."

The book was a #1 Publishers Weekly Bestseller, Wall Street Journal Bestseller, IRA-CBC Children's Choice, Winner of the Bologna Book Fair Critici in Erba Prize, and Christopher Award Winner.

The late Ernest Borgnine read The Rainbow Fish as part of Storyline Online. Model Winnie Harlow read The Rainbow Fish as part of the #SavewithStories program led by Jennifer Garner.

Short film
On March 25, 1997, an animated adaptation of the story book was released on VHS and DVD (known as The Rainbow Fish and Dazzle the Dinosaur). The home video releases also contain the film Dazzle the Dinosaur which is based on another book written by Pfister and published in 1994.

Television series
The Rainbow Fish was adapted into a children's animated television series in 1999. However, the television series does not follow the plot of the book; rather it takes the character and the setting and creates a new story with them. Some characters were added and others embellished for the purposes of the show. In the series, the place where the fish live is called Neptune Bay (after Neptune, god of the sea). The fish attend school, which is aptly named "The School of Fish". There is a shipwreck called "Shipwreck Park" in the series that resembles the wreck of the RMS Titanic. It was produced by Decode Entertainment and Yoram Gross-EM.TV. 26 episodes were produced.

Author
In an interview with Publishers Weekly, Marcus Pfister said "while I was at the Art School of Bern, I came to know about all the major Swiss children’s book illustrators. The other students and I would talk about how nice it would be to illustrate children’s books. At that point it was a dream, and only a few guys tried to realize this dream."

Criticism
Some critics have asserted that The Rainbow Fish "promotes socialism", or collectivist values. From this perspective it has been alleged that, "...the message this book sends to children about envy, entitlement, uniformity and mediocrity [is problematic]. Not to mention the bullying and shaming used by the scaleless fish to get what he wants." Ira Stoll, another critic of The Rainbow Fish on anti-socialist grounds, claims that Amazon.com reviews of the book were evenly divided between those in favor of the book (and the values that it promotes), and those reviews that were more critical.

In the June 2019 issue of Reason magazine, libertarian journalist Matt Welch wrote an article titled "Don't Be Like the Rainbow Fish", in which he described the ways in which the Rainbow Fish in the book acted quite differently from that of the author of the book, Marcus Pfister, in Welch's view. Welch derides the process in which the Rainbow Fish in the book gave away its scales, and become "colorless", as contrasting starkly with the colorful methods and materials Pfister himself would have used in order to produce the actual book, which ultimately went on to sell millions of copies. Welch said, "Whereas Rainbow Fish achieves transcendence through literally becoming colorless, the exact opposite was the case for The Rainbow Fish. Using an expensive and novel combination of holographic foil stamping and watercolor, the Swiss-born Pfister and his publisher, NorthSouth Books, produced a striking visual package that proved irresistible.

Former conservative radio host Neal Boortz said that The Rainbow Fish in his view was, "...one of the biggest pieces of trash children's books ever published" for the similar reasons to that of Welch, as Welch states in the Reason article, "...[the Rainbow Fish] only gets truly ostracized because he won't hand over his body parts on demand, in the name of equality."

Walter F. George Lake

The Walter F. George Lake, named for Walter F. George (1878–1957), a United States senator from Georgia, is formed on the Chattahoochee River along the state line between Alabama and Georgia. It is also widely known by the name, Lake Eufaula – particularly in Alabama, where the state legislature passed a resolution on June 25, 1963, to give the lake that name. The 46,000 acre lake extends north about 85 mi from the Walter F. George Lock and Dam (31.61944°N, -85.07083°W) and has approximately 640 mi of shoreline. Popular activities along the lake include camping and trophy fishing.

The lake is primarily controlled by the United States Army Corps of Engineers. The states control several other protected lands along the lake, including the Eufaula National Wildlife Refuge and Lakepoint State Park in Alabama, and Florence Marina and George T. Bagby state parks in Georgia. The flooding of the land in the area covered numerous historic and prehistoric sites associated with Native American culture. Indigenous peoples had lived along the river for thousands of years. The unincorporated area of Oketeyeconne, Georgia, which historically had a majority of Native American residents, was evacuated in the 1950s to allow creation of the lake.

Arizona State University Downtown Phoenix campus

Arizona State University Downtown Phoenix campus (ASU Downtown) is a public research university in Phoenix, Arizona. It is one of five campuses of Arizona State University.

The school was built in line with ASU President Michael M. Crow's "One University, Many Places" initiative and was built with cooperation from the state of Arizona and local governments.

Campus
The campus is located in the downtown area of Phoenix, in an area bound by Van Buren Street, Fillmore Street, 3rd Avenue, and 7th Street. Classes began there in August 2006 with students from the College of Public Programs and College of Nursing attending classes there (in renovated existing office buildings adjacent to Arizona Center). The campus has expanded from its initial footprint.

The growth of the campus has been linked to the gentrification of downtown Phoenix, Arizona. The movement of faculty, staff, and students to the downtown core has been linked to increases in rents and the out-migration of locals from the original communities. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, and the departure of many tenants of downtown high-rises, these concerns grew as the University aimed to acquire more space. Others remain concerned about the city of Phoenix financially supporting the endeavor.

Academics
Initially the campus was meant to be the home of the health-related programs of Arizona State University, with the predecessor to the Edson College of Nursing & Health Innovation being the first college to relocate downtown. As Arizona State University continued to grow this plan was soon abandoned. Even so, the Arizona Biomedical Research Core remains adjacent to the campus.

Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication
In 2008, the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication moved to ASU Downtown, with the headquarters and studios of KAET (the PBS member affiliate for the greater Phoenix area, operated by ASU) moving to ASU Downtown in 2009.

Watts College of Public Service and Community Solutions
In 2006, the College of Public Programs relocated from Wilson Hall on the university's Tempe campus to Arizona State University's Downtown Phoenix campus. On January 1, 2015, The College of Public Programs officially renamed itself to the College of Public Service & Community Solutions. The Watt College of Public Service and Community Solutions offers bachelors, masters, and doctoral degrees and is organized into four schools and 17 research centers. The programs are divided between the School of Social Work, the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice, the School of Public Affairs and the School of Community Resources and Development. The college also houses a number of distinguished divisions and research centers, including the Lodestar Center for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Innovation, the Morrison Institute for Public Policy and the Southwest Interdisciplinary Research Center.

Edson College of Nursing & Health Innovation
In August 2006, the College of Nursing & Health Innovation moved to the new Downtown Phoenix Campus. The new building, previously called Park Place, was a 1980s-era office building, and was extensively renovated to meet education and research requirements and renamed Health South. Shortly thereafter, Health North was constructed across the courtyard. The Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation also maintains a presence in the Mercado Building, the Arizona Center, ASU West, and ASU Lake Havasu.

College of Health Solutions
The College of Health Solutions was formed in 2012 to help ASU marshal its resources to solve the national problem of poor health outcomes achieved at unsustainably high costs. The goals of the college are to simultaneously improve the patient care experience, improve the health of the population, and reduce per capita health care costs while improving health outcomes.

Her portrayal of Anita Hill in the HBO television political thriller film Confirmation (2016), and her role as Mia Warren in the Hulu miniseries Little Fires Everywhere (2020), both earned nominations for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie.

In film, Washington is known for her roles as Della Bea Robinson in Ray (2004), as Kay in The Last King of Scotland (2006), as Alicia Masters in the live-action Fantastic Four films of 2005 and 2007, and as Broomhilda von Shaft in Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained (2012).

Early life and education
Washington was born in the Bronx, New York City, the daughter of Valerie, a professor and educational consultant, and Earl Washington, a real estate broker. Her father's family is of African American origin, having moved from South Carolina to Brooklyn. Her mother's family is from Manhattan, and Washington has said that her mother is from a "mixed-race background and from Jamaica, so she is partly English and Scottish and Native American, but also descended from enslaved Africans in the Caribbean." Through her mother, she is a cousin of former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell. She was conceived via a sperm donor, which she only learned in 2018.

Washington performed with the TADA! Youth Theater teen group and attended the Spence School in Manhattan from her pre-teen years until graduating from high school in 1994.

During her appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, she told host Jimmy Fallon: "I've been taking dance for a long time, since I was a little girl. I had this very inspiring teacher named Larry Maldonado, for anybody from my neighborhood in the Bronx, he was our role model. And he had an awesome substitute teacher named Jennifer, who would sometimes step in and teach. But, then she left to move to L.A. and be on In Living Color. I learned to dance from JLo!"

In 2023, Washington revealed that she had an abortion when she was in her late 20s.

HMCS Algonquin (DDG 283)

HMCS Algonquin (DDG 283) was an Iroquois-class destroyer that served in the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) from 1973 to 2015.

Algonquin was the fourth ship of her class which is sometimes referred to as the Tribal class or the 280 class. She is the second vessel to use the designation HMCS Algonquin. Algonquin carried the hull classification symbol DDG.

Algonquin was originally designed to be primarily an anti-submarine destroyer. The Iroquois-class destroyers were the first ships in the Royal Canadian Navy (other than the Protecteur-class replenishment oiler) to carry multiple helicopters, and were the first ships to be powered entirely by gas turbines in a COGOG (Combined Gas Or Gas) arrangement. Algonquin underwent a major refit called the Tribal Class Update and Modernization Program (TRUMP) from 1987 to 1991 and emerged as an area air defence destroyer.

She was assigned to Maritime Forces Pacific (MARPAC) and was homeported at CFB Esquimalt.

Design
On 26 October 1987, Algonquin entered the Tribal Class Update and Modernization Project refit, dubbed TRUMP, at MIL-Davie, Lauzon. Labour problems and contract disputes delayed completion of the work until 11 Oct 1991.

As a modernization concept, origins of the idea date back to the early 1980s. By the mid-1980s the Canadian Federal Government had decided on the necessity of upgrading the Iroquois-class ships and released a request for proposal, foreseeing complete refurbishment. The project resulted in a thorough refurbishment of the ship and modernization of mechanical, electronic and weapon systems.

Litton Systems Canada was selected as prime contractor and project manager after submitting a detailed 4000+ page proposal which emphasized, maximum automation and software engineering This aspect of the ship was extremely important due to the desired high level of automation in real-time command and control functions on the refurbished ships. Software engineering military standards were fairly recent and not yet widely assimilated, so Litton had to exercise particular caution in the areas of software configuration management (SCM) and software quality assurance (SQA). Litton's Proposal to the Canadian Federal Government had a 250-page SCM and SQA policies section which was accepted without a single edit due to highly sensitive and farsighted work of the Advance Programs Division Technical Contract Team at Litton who established a massive and capable engineering force by 1988–89.

The entire class underwent major retrofits in the early 1990s as a part of the Tribal Class Update and Modernization Project. These refits had the effect of re-purposing the ships for area air defence; following, Iroquois-class ships were also referred to as air defence destroyers. This resulted in an update of vessel designation from DDH (Destroyer Helicopter) to DDG (Destroyer Guided Missile). Their former anti-submarine role was largely assumed by the Halifax-class frigates.

The main weapon of the new design was the Mk.41 VLS, firing 29 SM-2 Block III long-range anti-aircraft missiles. To provide room for the VLS, the original 5-in L54 gun was replaced with the smaller, but much faster firing, Oto Melara 76 mm gun, relocated from the deck to the bridgework above it. A Phalanx CIWS (Close-in Weapon System) was also added for self-defence. The torpedo tubes were retained, but the Limbo and Sea Sparrow systems were removed.

The modernization also replaced the original Pratt & Whitney FFT-12 cruise turbines with newer 12,788 shp 570-KF engines from Allison. The speed remained the same, as weight had increased to 5,100 tons full load. The original split funnel was replaced by a simpler single funnel, giving the ship a reduced heat signature due to cooler engine exhaust.

Construction and career
Algonquin, named for the Algonquin people, was laid down on 1 September 1969 by Davie Shipbuilding at Lauzon, Quebec. The ship was launched on 23 April 1971, christened on 27 April  and commissioned into the Canadian Forces on 3 November 1973.

On 9 November, while undertaking a six-day passage, Algonquin conducted first crew readiness work-ups (WUPS) at sea. During this time, the ship embarked her first CH-140 Sea King helicopter. The destroyer was initially stationed out of Halifax, Nova Scotia. On 28 November, Algonquin departed Halifax to participate in the naval exercise MARCOT 3/73 with the destroyer escorts HMCS Yukon (DDE 263) and HMCS Assiniboine (DDH 234).

In 1974, the destroyer rescued the crew of the fishing vessel Paul & Maria, which sank 80 mi east of Halifax. On 10 January 1975, Algonquin sailed for Portland, England to take up duties as flagship for the NATO Standing Naval Force Atlantic (STANAVFORLANT) in consort with the US frigate USS Edward McDonnell (FF-1043). On 21 May, Algonquin sailed in company with the replenishment oiler HMCS Protecteur (AOR 509), sister ship HMCS Iroquois (DDG 280) and the destroyer escorts HMCS Skeena (DDH 207) and HMCS Margaree (DDH 230) for Bermuda for exercise MARCOT 75.

In August 1976, Algonquin participated in the search and rescue (SAR) of the fishing vessel Peggy's Cove which had been in a collision with the freighter Arosia. On 8 November, Algonquin was ordered to sea to assist the fisheries protection vessel Chebucto which was attempting to arrest two Cuban fishing vessels believed to be violating Canadian Coastal Fisheries Laws in the approaches to Halifax harbour. On 12 January 1977, Algonquin deployed for CARIBEX 1–77 Assiniboine, Protecteur and Margaree, part of the United States Navy (USN) exercise Springboard 77 in the Puerto Rican operating area. Algonquin was assigned flagship of First Canadian Destroyer Squadron.

On 27 May 1978 Algonquin was awarded the L.W. Murray Trophy for gunnery excellence and the 20 Knot Mortar Firing Trophy, both of which were retained by Algonquin for the second year running. On 28 August, the ship departed Halifax for the NATO exercise Northern Wedding. On 26 September Algonquin assumed the role of flagship to the Canadian Commander of STANAVFORLANT from sister ship HMCS Huron (DDG 281), and was one of a seven ship squadron. From 15–18 November, the ship was part of STANAVFORLANT and conducted anti-submarine warfare (ASW) operations in the Baltic Sea. She continued as part of the STANAVFORLANT force into 1979, tracking and shadowing Warsaw Pact submarines in the North Atlantic.

1980s
A scheduled refit postponed to 1981 resulted in Algonquin's exclusion in any national or NATO exercises. Algonquin presented the ASW Proficiency Shield and the 20 Knot Trophy. On 26 January, a fire, rated as "A" class, occurred in the forward decontamination compartment. The fire was believed to have been caused by toilet paper, stored temporarily in the space, coming into contact with a steam radiator. In November, the ship participated in ASW exercises, torpedo firings and pro-submarine exercises with the submarine HMCS Okanagan (S74). The postponed refit occurred from January–July 1981, noted to have been completed on time, as scheduled. Additions included Surface and Air Weapon Information System (SAWIS) performance monitoring equipment for the Gun/Missile Fire Control System and 84 tons of ballast in the aft section of the ship. The ship worked-up in August and September, and in November participated in the naval exercise MARCOT 2/81.

Algonquin participated in two major deployments in 1982, beginning with CARIBOPS 82 for two months and then STANAVFORLANT for five months as flagship of the fleet. Algonquin took part in a search for an American A7 Aircraft believed to have crashed just north of Puerto Rico; no detail on the aircraft or search was provided. In February, during CARIBOPS 82, Algonquin was dispatched 15 mi west of Martinique where the diving support vessel HMCS Cormorant (ASL 20) was drifting, having lost all propulsion. Proceeding with all dispatch, Algonquin met Cormorant the same day and the decision was taken to tow her to Bridgetown, Barbados. In March, Algonquin participated in NATO exercise SAFEPASS 82 which was designed to test convoy procedures. In August, Algonquin joined STANAVFORLANT in the North Sea. On 5 August, Algonquin assumed the duties of flagship of the Standing Naval Force Atlantic. In September, Algonquin operated in the vicinity the Shetland Islands for Exercise Northern Wedding 82 during which she provided close ASW escort to a USN amphibious task force which was tasked to land on the coast of Jutland in Denmark. In October, the ship conducted operations with the Danish Navy in the Western Baltic. In November, Algonquin participated in the Royal Navy exercise JMC 824, and trained ships in procedures to counter multiple threats. In December, the destroyer took part in a brief transit exercise with units of the French Navy, with Algonquin leading the Force across the English Channel.

In February 1983, the ship took part in CARIBOPS 83. In June, Algonquin participated in MARCOT 1/83 near Bermuda, focusing on passive detection capabilities of ASW. In October, Algonquin participated in MARCOT 2/83, an ASW exercise focusing on shallow water detection, mainly staged in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. In February 1984, Algonquin guarded the aircraft carrier USS Independence (CV-62) for 36 straight sea days. In April, Algonquin transited to Montreal to go into dry dock until August. In October, Algonquin sailed to Bermuda. 1984 would be the last year Algonquin would embark a Helicopter Air Detachment as part of the ship's company for 10 years.

In early 1985, the ship took part in air defence exercises, trials and fisheries patrols. Algonquin was one 33 ships anchored in Bedford Basin to celebrate the Canadian naval service's 75th anniversary. In June, the destroyer sailed the Saint Lawrence River to continue anniversary celebrations. That August, Algonquin participated in the NATO exercise OCEAN SAFARI. On 1 March 1986 Algonquin was deployed to assist the fisheries protection vessel Cape Rogers in escorting Panamanian fishing trawler Peonia 7 into St. John's after the fishing trawler had ignored orders to put into St. John's and had attempted to flee to international waters with two officers from the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans aboard.

In February 1987, the ship deployed for CARIBOPS 87. Algonquin joined STANAVFORLANT from March–May as flagship. In May, she participated in the annual exercise "Open Gate" held in the Strait of Gibraltar. In June, she participated in the NATO exercise "Vendetta", in the North Sea. That October, the ship sailed to Lauzon, Quebec to commence her TRUMP refit at MIL-Davie Shipyards, beginning on 26 October.

1990s
Algonquin's refit was completed on 11 October 1991. The ship was reclassified from Destroyer Helicopter (DDH) to Destroyer Guided Missile (DDG). Stability tests nearly led to Algonquin capsizing where the ship was stuck at a 25 degree incline for several hours.

On 29 March 1993, Algonquin sailed to join STANAVFORLANT, arriving in April. She was once again made flagship and took part in the naval blockade of the former Yugoslavia as part of Operation "Sharp Guard". On 2 July, Algonquin conducted the first of a total of 88 merchant vessel boardings as part of the blockade. On 27 July, the busiest day for Algonquin boarding parties, seven merchant ships were boarded in a 23‑hour period. On 1 October, the ship completed her last boarding in support of the operation. On 5 October, Algonquin completed turnover of STANAVFORLANT to HMCS Iroquois and returned home.

In 1994, the destroyer was reassigned to the west coast. On 2 July, Algonquin departed from Halifax en route to Esquimalt, British Columbia. Upon transiting the Panama Canal, the ship officially joined Maritime Forces Pacific. The ship arrived at Esquimalt on 5 August. In 1995, Algonquin took part in several naval exercises including COMPUTEX and MARCOT. She also conducted integrated training operations with the USS Carl Vinson Battle Group (CVBG).

In February 1996, Algonquin sailed to participate in FLEETEX 96-1A alongside Protecteur and the frigates HMCS Regina (FFH 334) and HMCS Winnipeg (FFH 338) as part of the USS Carl Vinson Battle Group. On 18 February, the ship departed for Yokosuka, Japan via the Aleutian Islands on WESTPLOY 96 in consort with the replenishment ship HMCS Preserver (AOR 510) and the frigates Regina, Winnipeg and HMCS Vancouver (FFH 331). On 3 April, the task group (TG) rendezvoused with Japanese Maritime Self-Defence Force ships Ayase and JDS Ishikari south of the Kuril Islands to participate in Operation Maple-Cherry, a naval exercise of simulated ASW. On 3 May, the task group rendezvoused south of Inchon, South Korea with the Republic of Korea ships Kyong Buk and Che Ju and HMCS Regina. The Canadian–Korean TG proceeded for Pearl Harbor, Hawaii and from 22 May to 16 June participated in RIMPAC 96. The Canadian task group returned to Esquimalt on 27 June. She performed further naval exercises later in the year. During one of these exercises, Algonquin was tasked with an intelligence-gathering mission on a Russian merchant vessel in Canadian waters, escorting her to the entrance of Juan de Fuca Strait. In December, Algonquin prepared for a refit with scheduled completion of April 1998.

Algonquin began her refit costing $25 million in mid-January 2007. The ship returned to service in May 1998. On 24 August 1999, the ship was doing trials with a private MiG-21 aircraft when the aircraft crashed into the ocean. A fuel slick and debris was found in the search area but nothing more and after 24 hours the search was terminated. Later that week Algonquin, in consort with the Canadian Coast Guard, was tasked to intercept, track and board an illegal Chinese migrant vessel. The vessel was escorted to Gold River, British Columbia where 159 migrants were received by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police for medical and legal processing.

On 4 March, the destroyer deployed for the Gulf of Oman, in support of Operation Apollo, conducting her mission on 1 May through 4 September. On 14 October, the ship returned to Esquimalt, having been away for almost seven months in the Persian Gulf and logging 55,000 nmi. During the operation Algonquin hailed over 1,700 vessels and boarded 55. She carried out 96 inspections of 'go-fast vessels', and discovered and apprehended several suspected terrorists. Algonquin conducted a short port visit to Peddar Bay on 21 November, and returned to Esquimlat Harbour for a short refit period.

From March to August 2003 Algonquin was under refit by Victoria Shipyards. She rejoined the Pacific Fleet as the flagship upon her return to service. In 2005, the ship participated in several naval exercises and visited San Francisco with Protecteur, Vancouver and HMCS Calgary (FFH 335) in October. In 2008, Algonquin was turned over to Victoria Shipyards for refit, reentering service in 2009.

On 30 August 2013, Algonquin was involved in a collision at sea with Protecteur while conducting towing manoeuvres en route to Hawaii. There were no injuries. The ship was able to return to her home port of Esquimalt, to undergo a full damage assessment. It was assessed that Algonquin suffered extensive damage to her port side hangar and remained alongside in Esquimalt. As a result of the collision, a planned deployment to the Asia-Pacific region was cancelled.

Paid off
Considering the relatively short service life remaining for Algonquin, which was scheduled to be retired in early 2019, and the cost of repairs, it was deemed that the expense of re-instating the ship to full operating capability would not be a responsible use of public funds. Therefore, on 19 September 2014 it was announced that Algonquin would be paid off. Algonquin was paid off on 11 June 2015. Algonquin, along with Protecteur, was sold for scrapping on 27 November 2015 to R.J. MacIsaac Ltd. of Antigonish, Nova Scotia. They will be towed to Liverpool, Nova Scotia where the work will be done.

Lineage
The first ship in the RCN to bear the name Algonquin was a V-class destroyer, laid down in the United Kingdom as HMS Valentine but later commissioned in 1944 by the Naval Service of Canada as HMCS Algonquin. During the Second World War she saw much action while attached to the British Home Fleet, including taking part in an attack on the GERMAN BATTLESHIP Tirpitz. Algonquin was also present on D-day during the invasion of Normandy and escorted convoys to Murmansk, Russia. She was paid off in 1946 at the end of the war, but was re-commissioned in 1953 after extensive modification to anti-submarine destroyer-escort standard. She was paid off for the final time in 1970.

Doodlakine, Western Australia

Doodlakine is a town 220 km east of Perth, Western Australia. It is within the Shire of Kellerberrin along the Great Eastern Highway. The town has a crossing loop for trains on the Perth-to-Kalgoorlie railway and serves as a stop on the MerredinLink rural train service.

History
The area was first visited by Europeans in 1864 when explorers came and charted the area. The word Doodlakine is Aboriginal word for a particular rock formation north of the townsite.

An area close to the townsite, along the road to the Yilgarn goldfields and near a reliable water supply, was set aside in 1891 for a town to be established. This was gazetted as the Doodlakine townsite in the same year. Later a railway line was constructed through the area about 3 km south of the town, and the government soon subdivided area along the line. This area was gazetted as a second part of the townsite in 1899.

In 1932 the Wheat Pool of Western Australia announced that the town would have two grain elevators, each fitted with an engine, installed at the railway siding.

The town overflows with people each year during a music concert held at the pub. Hundreds of people come from around the state and camp behind the pub.

Doodlakine is affectionately known by the locals as "Doodlie".

Economy
The surrounding areas produce wheat and other cereal crops. The town is a receival site for Cooperative Bulk Handling.

Rail services
Transwa's MerredinLink and Prospector services stop at Doodlakine, at least one service each day.

Lake Kissimmee

Lake Kissimmee is a lake located about 15 mi east of Lake Wales, Florida, USA. The lake is almost entirely in Osceola County, but the western shore, and a small part of the lake, is in Polk County.

Lake Kissimmee State Park is rich with wildlife, including bald eagles, white tailed deer, alligators, ospreys, bobcats, turkeys, and sandhill cranes. The main attraction is its "cow camp" where visitors can learn about 1876 era Florida cowboys.

The Joe Overstreet Road access to the lake is an internationally known area for birdwatching, with sandhill cranes, introduced whooping cranes, bald eagles, black vultures, and shorebirds prominent.

There are at least five islands in the lake. The largest is Brahma Island in the south. It is followed in size by Sturm Island in the north, which is separated from the mainland only by a narrow waterway. The other islands are Bird Island, Rabbit Island and Ox Island in the eastern part of the lake. Also Ox Island is separated from the mainland only by a very narrow waterway.
