Azumi

Azumi (あずみ) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yū Koyama. It was serialized in Shogakukan's seinen manga magazine Big Comic Superior from 1994 to 2008, with its chapters collected in 48 tankōbon volumes. A sequel series with the same title (rendered in all caps Latin-script) was serialized in the same magazine from 2008 to 2014, with its chapters collected in 14 tankōbon volumes. The story follows the title character, a young woman, brought up as part of a team of assassins charged with killing the warlords that threaten the uneasy peace in Feudal Japan in the aftermath of its long Sengoku civil war period.

The series has been adapted into two feature films starring Aya Ueto, Azumi in 2003 and Azumi 2: Death or Love in 2005, and a video game and a stage play in 2005.

Azumi received the Excellence Prize at the 1997 Japan Media Arts Festival and won the 43rd Shogakukan Manga Award in the general category in 1998.

Plot
Azumi focuses upon the life of the titular young female assassin. The manga begins an indeterminate number of years after the Battle of Sekigahara. As Azumi begins her duty, the manga introduces its characters into mainstream history. Many of Azumi's early missions are the assassinations of prominent supporters and generals of the Toyotomi clan, against whom Tokugawa Ieyasu expected to again go to war. The manga "reveals" that many of the Toyotomi leaders who conveniently died of diseases or accidents prior to the final confrontation between the Toyotomi and Tokugawa were actually victims of assassinations by Azumi and her comrades, thus indicating to the reader when the events were taking place.

Azumi is raised by an old man known as Jiji (Grandfather), whose name is later revealed to be Gensai Obata. She is the only girl among ten students. They are secluded from the society in a tiny valley called Kiridani (Fog Valley) to such an extent that they do not know the difference between men and women, what a baby is, or customs like marriage. Early in the manga, as part of their training, Azumi and her comrades are ordered to go to Shimotani, a hidden community of ninja who became farmers, to learn the basics of ninjutsu. The manga sets a very chilling tone early on. The ten erabareta senshi (chosen warriors), who are all young children (Azumi has her first period well after her first missions, so she appears to be somewhere between 10–12 years of age at the onset of the manga) are told by Jiji that they have completed their training. For their first mission, they are to pair with whomever among the ten they feel the closest. Azumi pairs with Nachi, and all others pair with their closest friends. Once the students are paired, Jiji tells them that their first mission is to kill their partner—whoever is too weak to kill their partner is too weak to fulfill their life's missions, and will not be allowed to survive. The children fight their respective duels. Azumi slays Nachi, an event which appears to deeply traumatize Azumi, but, like others, she hides her feelings. Their second mission is to massacre all fifty-three residents of the peaceful ninja village, including their teacher, women and children, as they know of the group's existence. Azumi slays three men and four teenagers, but is unable to kill a woman with a baby, a task which one of her comrades quickly accomplishes.

The remaining five warriors proceed to go on assassination missions of various important supporters of the Toyotomi faction. As the manga proceeds, it reveals various moral concepts, such as the morality of assassinations (and killing in general), the dehumanization effect of politics, and provoking the reader to question the basic assumptions of right and wrong. For example, throughout much of the middle volumes of the manga (Vol. 8-19), Azumi frequently fights and kills bandits—many of whom are depicted robbing, murdering, and raping innocent victims. Azumi does not question that her killing such bandits is right, and few readers probably question her righteousness. Later on in the manga, the political background resulting in the banditry is revealed. The Tokugawa ruling family deposed and ended many previously prominent daimyō feudal lords who opposed them. The samurai and mercenaries serving the feudal lords were, thus, left without work or means to live, and therefore, resorted to banditry. Azumi questions whether it was right for her to kill so many men who had been forced to resort to banditry and were not bandits by choice.

A consistent recurring theme is the contrast between Azumi and other prominent characters. Azumi is compared to a bodhisattva—a kind of enlightened being, while the characters around Azumi are motivated by various obsessions. Some are motivated by blind idealism, some by religion, others by a lust for battle, greed, or even normally sanctified motivations like honor. Not all the forces (particularly those motivated by more noble incentives, like a pair of ninja assassins killed by Azumi who are participating in the planning of a revolt as the only way for a ninja community to survive) are depicted as if their single-minded drive toward their goals are somehow evil. However, nonetheless, in each case, those who are attached intensely to something in the world are killed by Azumi, while she, who seemingly has little attachment to the earthly world and few personal desires, survives.

Manga
Written and illustrated by Yū Koyama, Azumi was serialized in Shogakukan's seinen manga magazine from 1994 to 2008. Shogakukan collected its chapters in forty-eight tankōbon volumes, released from January 30, 1995, to February 27, 2009. Shogakukan re-released the series in a twenty-four volume bunkoban edition, from January 14 to December 15, 2012.

A sequel series, also titled Azumi (Latin-script title in all caps), was serialized in the same magazine from December 26, 2008, to February 28, 2014. Shogakukan collected its chapters in eighteen tankōbon volumes, released from June 30, 2009, to April 30, 2014.

Film series
Azumi was loosely adapted into an action film directed by Ryuhei Kitamura in 2003. A sequel, Azumi 2: Death or Love, directed by Shusuke Kaneko, followed in 2005.

Video game
An action game for PlayStation 2, based on manga's original story, was developed by Gargoyle Mechanics and released in Japan only by Entertainment Software Publishing in 2005. The game was also re-released as part of the budget-range Simple series (Vol. 32).

Stage play
The theatrical version, directed by Okamura Toshikazu, premiered on April 3, 2005, starring Meisa Kuroki as Azumi.

Merchandise
Azumi Original Soundtrack containing music from the film was released by For Life Music in 2003. Azumi figure line based on the manga version was released by figuAX in 2006.

Reception
Azumi received an Excellence Prize at the 1997 Japan Media Arts Festival, and won the 43rd Shogakukan Manga Award in the general category in 1998.

Thanks for updating the featured article and featured picture last week. Just for your information, there is a list of candidate articles and pictures, culled from WP:FA and WP:FP on the relevant talk pages which I try to keep updated, so we know which ones we have used. -- ALoan (Talk) 10:24, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I saw that you updated again (thanks! although I tend to leave longer than a week between updates: there are not all that many UK featured articles or pictures). I had a thought last week: maybe we should institute an "automatic" update system like is used on the main page or, for example, the Astronomy wikiportal - you need dated subpages where the articles are lined up, and the template links to the right one using a systems variable ( currentmonth for example). A bit of work to set up, but then several features could be lined up well in advance, and no maintenance for a while.  What do you think?-- ALoan (Talk) 22:09, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

Hoping that meets with the approval of editor, wub, and assistant-editor, Flcelloguy.

--GordonWattsDotCom 01:28, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

 * FYI, Ral315 reverted my edit here and gave this commentary: "revert; Signpost is not a soapbox to gauge public opinion." * I replied to him along these lines:

 * I saw your revert on the paper:

(diff) (hist). . Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2005-09-12/Features and admins; 01:28. . Ral315 (Talk) (revert; Signpost is not a soapbox to gauge public opinion.)

I did not post to estimate or measure or gauge public opinion:

Conversely, an editor myself, I posted to update the news. (Further, I could care less to estimate the public opinion; rather, it is important to educate readers so they can be an educated voting public.)

I respect your opinion, but you're only a 15-year old high-school sophomore, and I'm a 39-year old veteran, even to the point of being an old geezer. Why don't you run it by the editors before you revert -unless you can justify keeping the public in the dark; besides, I did not advocate or promote anything: I just reported on the news, about which I am expert.

--GordonWattsDotCom 01:35, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

In all fairness, I want to let you know I'm going to notify the editors about you, so you won't feel I'm talking behind your back. It's their paper, after all, and they can determine these matters.--GordonWattsDotCom 01:40, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

--GordonWattsDotCom 01:43, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks for bringing it to my attention, but I'm afraid I've got to go with Ral315 on this. Signpost articles don't tend to get edited/updated after they've been put up, except for glaring errors and typos. It's just the way it works. Nor is it really fair for you to add your appeals to them. RfC is the way to get attention for the voting. Good luck on getting the article featured. the wub  "?/!"  09:26, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

 * No, I never thought you had a grudge against me, but YES, I definitely thought you were just some random, you know -pop-in and whack’em editor, just carelessly whacking something that looks odd -Well, I have confidence in your abilities, and while I'd do things differently, I can sleep well at night knowing you're not some weirdo or something. Besides, after so many hours of editing (and personally visiting the Schiavo website to get non-Fair Use photos), I just might get some sleep, lol.

GordonWatts' RFA
I agree with you, but because I've taken a lot of flak for it, I'm just going to insert this two-sentence blurb: "In a controversial RFA, GordonWatts (formerly GordonWattsDotCom) failed to gain consensus for adminship.  The page was protected by an administrator with 4 support votes, 29 object votes, and 5 neutral votes." I'd much rather leave it out, but I figure this way, we can keep it NPOV, and let readers draw their own conclusion. I'm also going to leave a note on the talk page explaining why it's in there, why it's so short, and why I don't want it edited at all. Ral 315  23:04, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Actually, according to WP:CSD it is. I quote 'An article about a real person that does not assert that person's importance or significance - people such as college professors or actors may be individually important in society...'. It does not estalish notability, but it does assert it according to policy. --Doc (?) 17:47, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 'There is no evidence that Ms Camdzic is a notable actress such as appearing in notable films or significant plays. This appears to have been written by her right down to her e-mail address and contact details. These details are not suitable for an article in the mainspace and there has been no evidence that her career is as yet notable to warrant an article. However, this page would be suitable for her userpage assuming she has written this herself. Being an actress or actor is not in itself an assertion of notability as a person appearing in a school play, in a home movie or an amateur theatre production could make such a claim. You would need an assertion that she is best known for roles in theatre, cinema, television or radio to assert notability. Userfy if she is a registered user, otherwise speedy delete.

Thorvald Meyer

Thorvald Meyer (23 September 1818 – 3 February 1909) was a Norwegian businessman and philanthropist. He was a wholesaler, retailer and shipowner as well as a land owner and developer.

Biography
Meyer was born in Christiania (now Oslo), Norway. He was one of twelve children born to of Jacob Peter Meyer (1781–1856) and Ingeborg Marie Barth Muus (1781–1835). His father was a successful merchant, shipowner and timber wholesaler. As the son of a wealthy businessman, he received his education in France and England.

He entered the father's firm in 1848. He also became involved in the business enterprise of his wife's father, Andreas Tofte. In 1852, following the death of his father-in-law, he took over the family enterprises. In 1856, upon the death of his father, he inherited his father's company.

Thorvald Meyer also built a personal fortune primarily on real estate development in Oslo and also in forestry including forest properties at Nord-Odal in Hedmark. He had inherited from his father, the southern part of Meyerløkka in the district of St. Hanshaugen. The property had been acquired by his father between 1807 and 1856. In 1859 he created a plan for the development of the property together with his brother-in-law, Thomas Johannessen Heftye (1822–1886).

In 1862, Meyer acquired and developed the then almost uninhabited area of Grünerløkka. Thorvald Meyers gate, one of the main thoroughfares running north to south through the district of Grünerløkka, was named in his honor.

Personal life
Meyer was married to Annichen Mathea Tofte (1820–1900), daughter of Andreas Tofte (1795–1852) and Christine Søeberg (1797–1848). The couple resided in a property located at Karl Johans gate 37 in Oslo. The building had originally been owned by Andreas Tofte. After a fire in 1867, the building was destroyed. A new residence was completed for the family in 1869 based upon designs by architect Wilhelm von Hanno (1826–1882).

Their daughter Ragnhild Meyer (1849–1937) was married to diplomat Axel Heiberg (1848–1932). Their daughter Thea Meyer (1846–1922) was married to Prime Minister Christian Homann Schweigaard. And their daughter Ingeborg Meyer (1843–1882) was married to Lord Chamberlain Herman Severin Løvenskiold (1838–1910), the son of Otto Joachim Løvenskiold.

Meyer donated several of his properties to the city. He was also a supporter of the arts, in particular the theater. Thorvald Meyer was appointed Commander of the 1st Class of Order of St. Olav. He died during 1909 and was buried at Vår Frelsers Gravlund in Oslo.

Dmitry Likhachev

Dmitry Sergeyevich Likhachev (Дми́трий Серге́евич Лихачёв, also spelled Dmitrii Likhachev or Dmitry Likhachov; 28 November 1906 – 30 September 1999) was a Russian medievalist, linguist, and a former inmate of Gulag. During his lifetime, Likhachev was considered the world's foremost scholar of the Old Russian language and its literature.

He was revered as "the last of old St Petersburgers", and as "a guardian of national culture". Due to his high profile as a Soviet dissident writer, social critic, and activist during his later life, Likhachev was often referred to as "Russia's conscience".

Childhood and concentration camp (1906 – 1931)
Dmitry Likhachev was born in Saint Petersburg. From his early childhood he had a passion for literature, even though his parents did not approve of this interest.

In a 1987 interview with David Remnick, Likhachev recalled how he had, "watched the February and October Revolutions from his window."

In 1923, at only 16 years old, Likhachev entered the Department of Linguistics and Literature of Leningrad State University. He attended the Roman-Germanic and Slavic-Russian sections at the same time, undertaking two diplomas. At the university the young Likhachev met many outstanding scientists  and developed his own way of thinking. Likhachev graduated in 1928 from the Leningrad University. In 1928, at the end of his studies, Likhachev was arrested and accused of being a member of what Remnick called, "a students' literary group called the Cosmic Academy of Sciences", which "posed about as great a threat to the Kremlin as the Harvard Lampoon does to the White House."

For his election to the "Cosmic Academy", Likhachev had presented a short report, in which he poked fun at the new spelling rules of 1918 and urged that they be "reformed" by restoring the banned letter "Yat". After his arrest, Likhachev was confronted with the paper by a Soviet secret police interrogator, who screamed, "What do you mean by language reform? Perhaps we won't even have any language at all under Socialism!"

After nine months in jail, the young scientist was unlawfully exiled without trial and spent five years in the USSR's first concentration camp, located on the Solovetsky Islands in the White Sea.

Deported to the Solovki Special Purpose Camp, he spent 5 years studying "criminal folklore" (as he termed it). Dmitry Likhachev wrote his first scientific article, "Card Games of Criminals", in the camp. He didn't play cards himself, but was a keen observer. He also gathered much material about the language of thieves and later published articles and a book about thieves' slang and customs.

At the camp, hard work, poor living conditions and illness dramatically damaged Likhachev's health, but he survived. On the Solovetsky Islands he met both exiled Russian intellectuals and real criminals, who happened to save his life. As Dmitry Likhachev said many years later, "At the Solovki, I understood that every person is a person."

Whilst on the islands, for some period of time Dmitry Likhachev worked as a member of the Criminological Cabinet, organizing a labor colony for teenagers and saving them from death caused by hunger, drugs, and cold.

On the night of 28 October 1929, he was summoned from a visit with his parents and ordered to join a party of 300 prisoners destined for execution. Wishing to spare his parents the trauma, Likhachev told them that he had been summoned for night work and that they should not wait for him. He then hid behind a wood pile and listened as the three hundred prisoners were shot and thrown into a mass grave. The next morning, Likhachev returned from his hiding place as a completely different man. In a 1987 interview with David Remnick, Likhachev recalled the events of that night and concluded, "The executioner is older than me, and he is still alive."

From 1931, Likhachev was a worker on the construction of the Stalin White Sea–Baltic Canal until his release.

Education (1931 – 1947)
Likhachev returned to Leningrad and started his scholarly career in the Pushkin House (as the Russian Literature Institute is known), which spanned more than 60 years and saw the publication of more than 500 scholarly works. Likhachev did not stop his work even during the Siege of Leningrad. He believed that Russia was an integral and indivisible part of European civilization, contrary to "Euroasiatic" views of Russia popular with Lev Gumilev, Boris Rybakov, and many other contemporaries.

Likhachev worked for five years as a proofreader in the publishing house of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. In 1936, thanks to petitions by the president of the Academy of Sciences, Aleksandr Karpinsky, Dmitry Likhachev's criminal record was cleared. In 1938 the talented scientist was noticed and invited to the Department of Old Russian Literature of the Institute of Russian Literature (known as the Pushkin House). Dmitry Likhachev worked here until the end of his life.

Old Russian literature, which at that time did not receive much academic attention, became the main scientific interest of Dmitry Likhachev who, by the beginning of the 1940s, was one of the most renowned specialists in this sphere. In 1941 Likhachev presented his thesis "The Novgorod Annalistic Corpus of the 12th Century".

World War II brought new trials. Likhachev, together with his wife and twin daughters, survived the horrors of the siege of Leningrad (1941-1944). He described his experience in a story, full of harsh details, exposing different types of people and their heroic or appalling behavior when faced with starvation and death. In 1942, completely exhausted by hunger and cold, Dmitry Likhachev started to gather materials on medieval poetry and soon published the book Defense of the Old Russian Cities. In 1943 Likhachev and his entire family were exiled to Kazan, supposedly because of the "connection with the Solovetsky Camp". But by the end of the war they had returned to Leningrad.

Academic career and legacy (1947 – 1999)
In 1947 Dmitry Likhachev received his Doctorate in Philology, having presented his thesis "Essays on the History of Annalistic Literary Forms of the 11th–16th Centuries". Three years later he became a professor at the Leningrad State University. From 1953 he was a corresponding member - and from 1970 a member of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR.

1950 marked the publication of Likhachev's two-volume edition containing unique, important literary works translated into the modern Russian language: The Primary Chronicle, a history of Kievan Rus' from the 9th to the 12th centuries, and The Lay of the Host of Igor, an account based on a failed raid by Prince Igor Svyatoslavich of Novgorod-Seversk against the Cumans in 1185.

Dmitry Likhachev was not a scientist detached from everyday life. From the 1950s he began a campaign to save the wooden temples of the Russian North and to preserve the historical appearance of Russian cities. He helped found the museums of Dostoevsky, Pushkin and Pasternak.

In 1953 Likhachev was admitted into the Soviet Academy of Sciences as a corresponding member. He defended Andrei Sakharov, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and other dissidents during their persecution by Soviet authorities.

In the 1960s Likhachev was one of the initiators of the movement for the protection of historical monuments, libraries and archives. Thanks to Likhachev many monuments were saved, including Marina Tsvetaeva's flat in Moscow, the Nevsky Prospect in Leningrad (which was supposed to be turned into a shopping street) and Aleksandr's Garden. In the 1980s he headed the Soviet (later renamed Russian) Cultural Fund, supporting the process of the Orthodox Church's reclaiming of its temples, formerly appropriated by the Soviet government. The scientist also participated in the preservation of national minorities in danger of dying out while aiding the return to Russia of émigré public and cultural figures.

In 1980 Likhachev was one of the members of the Academy of Sciences who refused to sign a letter requesting the expulsion the famous scientist Andrei Sakharov from the Academy because of Sakharov's public disapproval of the dispatch of Soviet troops to Afghanistan in 1979.

Despite his busy social life, Likhachev still spent a lot of time on scientific work. Focusing on Old Russian literature, he developed the concept of artistic time and space. In 1969 the researcher was awarded with the USSR State Prize for his work "Poetics of Old Russian Literature".

Dmitry Likhachev gained worldwide recognition as a theorist of culture and as a publicist. In the 1980s he developed a concept that considered the problems of humanization and the reorientation of educational goals and ideas. The scientist viewed culture as a historical memory and as a process of accumulation, rather than merely consecutive changes. This stance was also the theoretical basis for Likhachev's attention to ancient monuments, especially in architecture. Inspired by the works of Vladimir Vernadsky, Dmitry Likhachev suggested the idea of a “homosphere”- a human sphere of the Earth. His original contribution to general science was also the development of a new discipline called the ecology of culture, which was defined as an essential sphere of human life.

One of the ideas of Likhachev's concept was the correlation between culture and nature. In his book Poetics of the Gardens (1982), park and garden art was for the first time considered as a semiotic reflection of major cultural and artistic styles and their corresponding ideologies.

In Moscow and St. Petersburg, in 1986 he created the International Association of intellectuals and creative "Myr Culture", with the writer Nicolaj Sanvelian, the Italian economist and writer Giancarlo Pallavicini and other leading writers, artists and scientists, he was inspiring and President for many years.

In 1986 he was elected the first President of the Russian Cultural Fund. In his 1980s and 1990s, he became more of a public figure, serving as an informal advisor to St. Petersburg Mayor Anatoly Sobchak and Russian President Boris Yeltsin. In October 1993 he signed the Letter of Forty-Two. In the same year, he became the first person to be named an Honorary Citizen of St Petersburg. He also presided over the commission set up to prepare for Alexander Pushkin's bicentenary.

Likhachev thought about his life journey as a vertical movement, towards a heavenly home. The reflections of his experience as a person are written in the book “Reminiscences” (1995).

During the first visit to Rome Gorbachev, Myr Culture has officially handed over, on behalf of the intellectual-creative in the world, a cultural program, called "Manifesto of the three" by the signatories founders of the association, the Russian spokesman Zagladin presented the world's press at the Foro Italico, in 1998, as an instance of cultural freedom for Russia and for the world, signed by Dmitry Likhachev, Nicolaj Sanvelian e Giancarlo Pallavicini.

The last works by Dmitry Likhachev gathered together his general ideas about his native country. The book Thoughts About Russia, completed in 1999, a few days before the author's death, is devoted to Russia'’s place in world history, its myths and its most characteristic features. The edition Russian Culture was published posthumously in 2000.

As a great scientist, Likhachev was a foreign member of the Academies of Sciences of Bulgaria, Hungary and Serbia and a corresponding member of the Austrian, American, British, Italian and Göttingen Academies. In 1984 the minor planet 2877 was named after Likhachev.

A year before his death, Likhachev became the very first recipient of the reinstated Order of St. Andrew.

Dmitry Likhachev died on 30 September 1999.

In 2001 Likhachev's daughter and George Soros established the Likhachov Philanthropic Fund.

Family
In 1936, Likhachev married Zinaida Makarova (1907-2000), who devoted her entire life to her husband. They had twin daughters, Lyudmila and Vera (born 1937).

Legacy
A minor planet 2877 Likhachev discovered in 1969 by Soviet astronomer Lyudmila Chernykh is named after him.

Over My Shoulder (I Am Kloot song)

"Over My Shoulder" is I Am Kloot's highest-charting single to date, reaching #38 on the UK charts in 2005. It preceded the album Gods And Monsters which charted lower than their previous album I Am Kloot. The song itself was first released on the Wall of Sound compilation album We Love You... So Love Us Too and re-recorded for the Gods and Monsters album. The CD added two B-sides that were originally intended for the cancelled "Proof" single.

"Great Escape" is John Bramwell performing on his own with his acoustic guitar, an old song from his solo Johnny Dangerously days and the final B-side "Junk Culture" is a band effort, once again an old Johnny Dangerously song updated. On the 7-inch vinyl single "Stop Taking Photographs" is a short solo acoustic performance by John Bramwell, in the vein of "No Fear of Falling" or "Astray".

The CD included the video of the single, featuring John walking around Manchester landmarks (most with some reference to the band's background - Big Hands bar, Night & Day Café etc.), with a beer crate attached to his foot. As he often uses a crate in lieu of a guitar strap, could be interpreted as a knowing nod to their fans.

Track listing
The single was released on three formats, one CD and two 7" singles. All songs written by John Harold Arnold Bramwell.

CD issue

 * 1) "Over My Shoulder" – 2:56
 * 2) "Great Escape" – 2:24

Whitehaven, Ottawa

Whitehaven (also spelled White Haven) is a neighbourhood located in Bay Ward in the west end of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, about 10 kilometres west of downtown. It is bounded by Carling Avenue to the north, Woodroffe Avenue to the east, the OC Transpo Transitway to the west and Highway 417 to the south. As of 2021, the population of the neighbourhood is 2323.

Whitehaven was developed on the lands of Fox farm starting in the 1950s. The Fox farm homestead can still be found on Fox Crescent in the north part of the neighbourhood with its windmill tower now shaded by a large tree. Originally the east side of the neighbourhood was subdivided into large lots, typically 50 by 50 metres. In the 1960s, the west side was developed with smaller lots but mostly large custom homes. At the same time, many lots in the east side of the neighbourhood were subdivided and infill housing was built. Subdivisions have continued through to today, giving Whitehaven a very eclectic housing character. Whitehaven Crescent was built up throughout the mid 1960s as the area's namesake.

The south west side of the neighbourhood contains a large park with a playground, with schools including D. Roy Kennedy Public School and Woodroffe High School. In the 1960s there was also a public primary school which operated until 1999 called Whitehaven Public School. It was closed for a few years after much dispute and then was reopened and expanded as a French primary school, called Terre des Jeunes.

Whitehaven has plenty of transportation links, green space and shopping centres. The Carlingwood and Lincoln Fields shopping malls are within walking distance of the neighbourhood. Both shopping centres are serviced extensively by OC Transpo with Lincoln Fields being serviced by the Lincoln Fields Transit Station on the Transitway

Whitehaven is also connected locally to a network of bike paths with direct access to downtown Ottawa.

Talk:Traction engine/Merge discussions

Merge Articles? - Discussion
In October 2005, there was a suggestion that the articles Steam tractor and Traction engine should be merged, owing to the apparent similarity of the content. There was a further suggestion that Steam roller should be merged either with Traction engine or Road roller, for similar reasons.

This discussion may be found below.

(Note - Main heading and introductory paragraphs added by User:EdJogg on 29 Aug 2006, so that talk page could be more easily used for other topics in future.)

Early Discussions
Here in the UK a 'Steam Tractor' is a type of traction engine used purely for road haulage, usally around the 4-7 ton area, whereas in the US it appears to be a more general term?

I doubt that steam tractor deserves its own article; There are not all that many of them preserved, and the industrial engines aren't all that different to the farm engines AFAIK. The highly-decorated carnival engines were a different animal certainly!

The material now in steam tractor is not all encyclopedic, that which is could easily be merged into this article. Andrewa 17:16, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

 * By all means, merge them. But I'd have a slight preference for putting them in the steam tractor article rather than here.  Do you think steam tractor is not encyclopedic because it has a North American slant rather than the British slant here?   That may also be relevant to the choice of name, and merging the two perspectives would be good. Wasn't the term traction engine also applied to some that were not operated by steam but rather by internal combustion engines?  BTW, several of the preserved steam tractors are run every year at the threshing show in my home town.  Gene Nygaard 19:08, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Merge what can be taken from steam tractor into this article which is more encyclopedic. Steam tractor starts ok but hen disappears into an text that belongs under threshing machine. If you took that out there would be little left. I also note in passing that steam tractor is the younger article and the initiator shoujld have checked for existing content first. GraemeLeggett 19:35, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Setting aside the encyclopic issue, isn't "steam tractor" the American term for what the British call a "traction engine"? If this is the case, they should be merged, but some way of finding the content with either "traction engine" or "steam tractor" as the search phrase should exist.  Otherwise, the subject could be balkanized into one article for American engines and the other for British.  As to how many are preserved, I take issue the the statement that there aren't many  preserved.  I've seen at least 15 personally and up close.  Finally, I can provide a good quality GNU/public domain image of one if anyone would like to add it to the article. Grumpyoldgeek 06:18, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
 * There must be hundreds preserved all over the world - there are even a few in Finland. I too have photos I could upload, e.g. of a Peerless. --Janke | Talk 08:43, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

 * There are certainly hundreds if not thousands of these preserved. Here in the midwest USA we have festivals and exhibitions on a regular basis. I guess I have no problem with merging the pages if there is still a pointer from steam tractor (which is what we call them in the USA) and an explanation of the distinct geographic terms in the article. BenFranske 07:54, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I support the merger. 'steam tractor' in the US is more or less synonymous with 'traction engine' in the UK, and the machines even look a lot alike.  The markets were effectively separated at the time, of course. —Matthew Brown (T:C) 01:21, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Another thought - it seems from some others' comments that perhaps in the UK "Steam tractor" means a specific type of traction engine, thus the comment about 'few preserved'. Am I right? —Matthew Brown (T:C) 02:50, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

 * According to the Steam-up website "steam tractor" is a sub-grouping. GraemeLeggett 09:25, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

NO Merger please.
Keep: I was just thinking about merging some of the information of steam tricycle.--CylePat 14:43, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

 * mind you, the article on steam tractor is prety anemic. --CylePat 15:18, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep what? I am less sure about merging the steam tricycle. I have seen what must be classified as a steam tricycle driving down the road. Essentially a three wheel open car, small steam engine, two back wheels and tiller control to steer single front wheel. Open top. This might not fit well with the traction engines as it was a very different construction. But then again, if there is not much material, it might become a separate section. I would suggest merging the three traction engine articles first and then see what we have got. Sandpiper 11:23, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

 * steam tricycle is essentially a threewheeler steam powered car, and therefore if anything realates to automobiles not commercial vehicles such as traction engines. GraemeLeggett 12:16, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
 * well, I wouldn't have said so. the distinction I see, and I think the general reader would see, is that they are powered by steam instead of internal combustion. There is a lesser distinction that traction engines are big and chunky, whereas the steam cars are much smaller. steam tricycles and steam rollers are both subsets of steam vehicles. Sandpiper 21:42, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Merge Steam Roller too
Just came across these articles and had a look at them. I would favour merging Traction engine and steam tractor, but I would also favour merging Steam roller. There is already a completely separate article road roller for modern road rolling machines. I think the specifically steam powered ones are a variant of the traction engine and should be included under that heading, with sections as appropriate. The main difference is that it has large roller wheels instead of smaller road wheels. It might be that in the future an expert could write a long article on how these things work, but I don't see that separate articles are useful right now. Incidentally, I think i saw a report that there are around 2000 such machines still in existence in the UK. Sandpiper 11:04, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
 * No, road roller is the Americanism for steamroller. Steamrollers derived from traction engines, but even though they don't use steam power any more the road construction vehicles are still called steamrollers in the UK and the word is still very much in use in a variety of contexts. There is an argument for merging road roller into steamroller, but steamroller shouldn't be coming here. -- Solipsist 12:04, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Steam Rollers are both a subset of Road Rollers and (Steam) Traction Engines. Steam tractors are a subset of (agricultural) tractors and traction engines. Steam Rollers should appear in the Road Roller article as well as Traction Engines. Should the section on steam rollers in either ever get so large then the majority can be sent off to a new article of its own with a summary remaining on the "parent" article (see "template:main" for examples etc). You will find the words Road Roller on your UK driving license, and the (UK) Road Roller Association refers to "Steam" and "motor" types.GraemeLeggett 12:12, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, but steam steamrollers work in exactly the same way as traction engines, and indeed steam tractors. So the main description of such devices (presumably including something about how they work, which I have not seen yet!), should be together in one place. how they work is entirely different to how a modern road roller works. So the road roller article should have a paragraph about steam rollers (and a picture), but should refer readers here as the main article on the subject. Sandpiper 22:38, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Im sorry, I have never heard the term "road roller" here is america. perhaps it was used long ago, and Im sure some people use the term but the majorty of people here call them steam rollers, no matter if they are powered by steam or not, as do most books. I don't think steam roller should be combined with traction engine because theya re different vehicles. You don't list the station wagon with the pick up truck. However in the bottom related links section of tracion engines you could include the steam roller link or you could mention a list in there of other steam driven vehicles. (though that may be quite long as I've seen drilling machines, to rock crushers and everything inbetween) Either way I think traction engine and steam tractors into one page, the arriation in british terms could easily be mentioned in a paragraph on the page (like many other articles on here do) instead of having 2 seperate pages.

Merge Discussion - Conclusion Please?
This merger debate has now been running for nearly a year. I think it is probably time that it should be brought to a swift conclusion. Few changes (apart from my recent ones) have been made to the pages in the duration, and this 'debate' may be stifling development.

Summary
This is a summary of the situation as I see it.

Traction engine
The concensus is that Traction engine should remain as an article. This is because:
 * it is the elder article (ie started first)
 * covers a wider scope of machine types
 * is a more general search term (eg 'steam tractor' is little-used in the UK)
 * already has more detail
 * has the potential to be the parent page for others to be spun off - eg Ploughing Engine, Portable Engine, Steam Roller, etc - should the article size warrant it in the future.

The article Traction engine should only cover steam-powered vehicles that are constructed around the boiler/firebox assembly (the unique feature of a traction engine). This will therefore exclude coverage of steam cars, steam tricycles, steam bicycles, steam unicycles (!?) and even most steam lorries, which were generally built on a separate chassis. However, portable engines (understood in the UK as essentially a traction engine without a drive to the wheels) would be covered. As would any Diesel conversions of appropriate steam vehicles. Rail-guided steam locomotives are, of course, well covered elsewhere!

Steam tractor
There seems to be dispute about the terminology. UK use is for a light weight (less than 7 ton) road-going traction engine, mostly for road haulage use; US use appears to be for a steam-powered version of an agricultural tractor. I think this discrepancy could be catered for fairly easily.

The existing steam tractor article seems to cover steam-powered portable engines, agricultural engines from a US perspective, and threshing. This information could be easily merged into Traction engine without losing any content, as there is minimal overlap.

Road roller
This contains little information at present, but what is there does not overlap steamroller. Nor does most of it apply to steamroller - the modern uses for a roller (including pavements and on landfill sites) would not apply to a steam-powered roller.

Steamroller
Most traction engines are used for pulling things, or driving machinery with their flywheels. Steam rollers have a distinctly different purpose.

Also, steam rollers were used in a number of ways that modern rollers would not be, usually because more appropriate equipment is now available. So there are differences between the methods of using them. While this information is not there at present, it should be. (Give me time....)

Detail coverage
I am visiting Great Dorset Steam Fair next week, so I will be gathering photos and information for inclusion in Wikipedia!!

Conclusion
There are essentially two discussions going on here. The following concludes what action I believe should be taken:

Traction engine vs Steam tractor
Text should be merged into Traction engine, threshing machine and Portable engine, as appropriate.

Steam tractor to remain as a redirect as per Wiki guidelines.

Traction engine vs Steamroller vs Road roller
The problem here is that steam rollers are a sub-set of BOTH other subjects.

We would not be discussing whether 'fire engines' (fire appliances) should be merged with lorries (trucks) or with 'equipment for putting out fires', but that would be an equivalent (if extreme) argument.

My view is that these three pages should remain unmerged, with appropriate links being provided between them. (For example, Traction engine could cover the operation of the actual steam engine, and road roller could describe what happens when a roller passes over (soft) ground, while steam roller can link across to both of them.) Besides which, Wikipedia is large enough to handle including all three pages without causing anyone any angst.

So, at what point can we say that this discussion has reached a conclusion?

 * The Steam Era festival is held in Milton Ontario next weekend (labour day) and if someone would like to attend and discuss with the organizers what their thoughts are on this, it would be useful. I never thought there would be such vigorous debate when I started this article.  I grew up with the term steam tractor in Milton, Ontario, Canada and we could be in the minority.  If a steam tractor is the same thing as a traction engine then the articles should be merged. Blacknail 22:35, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

 * My apologies for getting my terminology wrong - I confused stationary engines (small, usually internal combustion, engines) with portable engines, which are, as I wrote above, essentially a traction engine without the means to drive the road wheels. I have now corrected the above text for the benefit of later readers.
 * I have also revised the section above for 'steam tractor'. This term is used in the UK, primarilly for a very small traction engine - less than 7 tons in weight. I think that a vital part of the merge exercise will be to make this distinction clear.  It is also clear to me that we need a definitive description of the North American understanding of the term 'steam tractor', and that any differences should be noted in the article.  Comparison to the introductory paragraphs of tractor (which have a distinctly anti-steam bias!) seem to confirm this, it being written from a US viewpoint.

Ploughing engine

New information (NO MERGE!)
Having researched this rather more, I am now of the opinion that all three should remain as separate articles. I have updated Steam tractor to highlight the differences between UK and US steam tractors, as I understand it.

I have been surprised how little Wikipedia coverage is given to the whole field (!) of farming with steam, and traction engines in particular. Presumably this is due to the limited numbers who are interested in both traction engines and Wikipedia!!

I aim to put this right, as there is almost as much scope for traction engine articles as there is for railway engines... Each type of Traction Engine should be given its own page in due couse, for now they will remain grouped on the one page.

With this in mind, I will remove the 'merge' tags at the weekend.

EdJogg 01:11, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Traction engine vs Steam tractor
Recent research has shown how these are very different machines. The current, woefully inadequate, Wikipedia coverage of traction engines and the like needs addressing with more information in the articles concerned. These articles have been expanded, and their future growth is also planned. Hence they should remain separate, and the 'merge' banner has been removed.

See Talk:Steam tractor for the full explanation.

EdJogg 13:48, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Traction engine vs Steam roller
As outlined above, these are different machines, used for different purposes, even if they were generally constructed in the same way. Also, the steamroller article needs information added about contemporary road-building that would not belong in traction engine, and, it is hoped that sufficient information will be gathered to allow ploughing engine, road locomotive and steam lorry to be also split off into separate articles before too many months have passed.

Since the merge was suggested, these articles have been expanded considerably, and their future growth is also planned. Hence they should remain separate, and the 'merge' banner has been removed.

Nuovo Banco Ambrosiano

The Nuovo Banco Ambrosiano was the bank replacing the Banco Ambrosiano after its collapse. In 1989 the bank merged with the Banca Cattolica del Veneto (Catholic Bank of Veneto) to form the Banco Ambrosiano Veneto. In 1998 the latter bank formed the Banca Intesa together with the Cassa di Risparmio delle Provincie Lombarde (Cariplo).

Port of Savannah

[[File:Port of savannah container traffic.webp|thumb|Port of savannah container traffic

]]

The Port of Savannah is a major U.S. seaport located at Savannah, Georgia. As of 2021, the port was the third busiest seaport in the United States. Its facilities for oceangoing vessels line both sides of the Savannah River and are approximately 18 mi from the Atlantic Ocean. Operated by the Georgia Ports Authority (GPA), the Port of Savannah competes primarily with the Port of Charleston in Charleston, South Carolina to the northeast, and the Port of Jacksonville in Jacksonville, Florida to the south. The GPA operates one other Atlantic seaport in Georgia, the Port of Brunswick. The state also manages three interior ports linked to the Gulf of Mexico: Port Bainbridge, Port Columbus, and a facility at Cordele, Georgia linked by rail to the Port of Savannah. In the 1950s, the Port of Savannah was the only facility to see an increase in trade while the country experienced a decline in trade of 5%. It was chaired and led by engineer Dr. Blake Van Leer (who also led the US Corps of Engineers).

Between 2000 and 2005 alone, the Port of Savannah was the fastest-growing seaport in the United States, with a compounded annual growth rate of 16.5 percent (the national average is 9.7 percent). On July 30, 2007, the GPA announced that the Port of Savannah had a record year in fiscal 2007, becoming the fourth-busiest and fastest-growing container terminal in the U.S. As of 2021, the port was third busiest seaport in the United States. The GPA handled more than of container traffic during fiscal 2007–a 14.5 percent increase and a new record for containers handled at the Port of Savannah. In the past five years, the port's container traffic has jumped 55 percent from handled in fiscal 2003 to  in fiscal 2007. By 2014, container traffic was up to. In 2018, the Port handled a record, a 7.5 percent increase over 2017.

In response to the growth in traffic at both Savannah and the Port of Charleston, the Jasper Ocean Terminal, which would be the largest port in the country if it is completed, is planned to be built upriver on the Savannah River by the mid-2020s.

Major facilities
The Port of Savannah was unable to accommodate further terminal growth, which caused it to develop satellite terminal facilities and inland distribution. These facilities include:

 * Garden City Terminal: Owned and operated by the GPA, the Garden City Terminal is a secured, dedicated container terminal, the largest single-operator container terminal in North America. The 1345 acre facility features 9,693 feet (2,955 m) of continuous berthing and more than 1.1 million square feet (104,000 m2) of covered storage. The terminal is equipped with thirty-six high-speed container cranes (30 super post-Panamax and 6 post-Panamax), as well as an extensive inventory of yard handling equipment.
 * Ocean Terminal: Also owned and operated by the GPA, the Ocean Terminal is a secured, dedicated breakbulk facility specializing in the rapid and efficient handling of a vast array of forest and solid wood products, steel, RoRo (Roll-on / Roll-off), project shipments and heavy-lift cargoes. The 200.8 acre facility features 3,599 feet (1,099 m) of deepwater berthing, approximately 1.425 million square feet (133,000 m2) of covered storage and 99 acres (401,000 m2) of open, versatile storage.
 * SeaPoint Industrial Terminal Complex: In 2014, Savannah-based Dulany Industries, Inc. reached an agreement with Greenfield Environmental Savannah Trust LLC to buy the 1,600-acre former site of Kerr McGee and Tronox off East President Street, to develop the SeaPoint Complex, a sustainable multi-use industrial complex with the first privately owned commercial berth on the main shipping channel of the Savannah River.
 * Target Corporation Facility: On September 21, 2005, Governor Sonny Perdue announced that Target Corporation has decided to build a two-million-square-foot import warehouse at the Savannah River International Trade Park, located four miles (6 km) from the Garden City Terminal at the Port of Savannah. The import warehouse opened on June 8, 2007, and handles overseas cargo and merchandise for Target Corporation's Southeast stores.
 * IKEA Facility: On December 13, 2005, Perdue and IKEA would build a 1700000 sqft distribution center on 115 acre at the Savannah River International Trade Park. The first phase of the project consists of a 685000 sqft facility, which opened on June 27, 2007. The company also plans to expand the initial facility by approximately 975000 sqft in the future.
 * Heineken USA Facility: Heineken USA opened a distribution center in February 2008 that was built with the capacity to handle 4,000 containers a year, the equivalent of 7 million cases of Heineken and Amstel brand beverages. This location acts as the port of call for distributors in Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky and Alabama.
 * Savannah Port Terminal Railroad, a railroad that links the terminal facilities to the Genesee & Wyoming railroad.

Maersk Line
On April 10, 2007, Maersk Line reported that the line has added the Port of Savannah to its MECL2 service. With the addition, Maersk Line now has five services calling on the Port of Savannah. The MECL2 service will increase Savannah's trade with India, the Middle East and the Mediterranean basin. In 2006, Maersk Line and the GPA signed a twenty-year agreement that would make the Port of Savannah one of its primary ports of call in the South Atlantic. The MECL2 service provides direct service from Chennai/Madras, India, to act as transshipment hub for cargo to and from Visakhapatnam, Calcutta/Haldia, and Bangladesh.

Suez Express and East Coast Savannah Express
On June 5, 2007, APL announced that it would have two new all-water services to the Port of Savannah, one via the Suez Canal and one via the Panama Canal. The weekly Suez Express (SZX) will provide increased capacity via Savannah to and from India and Southeast Asia, deploying eight vessels. The SZX, which will originate in Singapore, calls on Colombo, Sri Lanka, before Savannah and then returns via Jebel Ali, Port Klang and then Singapore. It takes 25 days for the SZX service to transit from Singapore to Savannah. The weekly East Coast Savannah Express (ESX), will provide increased capacity between south and central China and Savannah. The ESX will offer a transit time of 22 days from Hong Kong to Savannah, making this service the fastest available to the U.S. East Coast. The ESX originates in Ningbo then call on Shanghai, Chiwan, Hong Kong, Panama and then Savannah, New York, Norfolk, Panama and back to Ningbo.

Lake of No Return

Lake of No Return (Naung Yang in Tai languages) is a body of water in Myanmar, lying in the area of the Pangsau Pass (3727') on the India–Myanmar border south of Pangsau (also called Pansaung) village. The lake is 1.4 km in length and 0.8 km in width at its widest part. It is located 2.5 km to the southwest of the Ledo Road, formerly called Stilwell Road, the road the Western Allies started building in 1942 to supply the Chinese armies of Chiang Kai-shek.

The area is home to the Tangsa community. Since the improvement of relations between India and Myanmar, the lake has come to play a part in the development of tourism in the nearby Indian Changlang District, which borders on Myanmar.

Legends
The most common account of the origin of the lake's name is the one told, for instance, on the Changlang District's website (the district is in Arunachal Pradesh, India), which speculates that the name is due to the number of Allied aircraft (on their approach to The Hump) which crashlanded in it during World War II, a story repeated in both the Indian press and in Indian fiction. American sources repeat that account, for instance in the 2008 book by Brendan I. Koerner, Now the Hell Will Start: One Soldier's Flight from the Greatest Manhunt of World War II, about the life of Herman Perry, a U.S. serviceman working on the Ledo Road who fled into the jungle and ended up marrying into the Naga tribe (of which the Tangsa are a subset): "The Americans called it the Lake of No Return, on account of all the crashed planes concealed in its depths."

At least three more stories explain the name. The second has it that a group of Japanese soldiers returning from battle lost their way and ended up at the lake. There, they were stricken by malaria and died and hence it is called the Lake of No Return. According to a third story, US Army soldiers, working on the Ledo Road, were sent to examine the lake and got trapped by the undergrowth and perished trying to escape. A fourth story says this "is the 'lake of no return' [because] retreating British troops in 1942 got lost in quicksand." Adding myth to legend, one author claims he has encountered the name on a document written by one of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel, which he claims still hides out in the area.

The lake still maintains its reputation; the Indian newspaper The Telegraph reported, in a story on the possible reopening of the Ledo Road in 2007, that "close by [Pansaung] is the Lake of No Return — the local Bermuda Triangle. According to folklore, aircraft that fly over the lake never return." The lake's reputation is advertised in hopes of making the area more attractive to tourists: "Who knows, the ‘Indian’ Bermuda Triangle might just turn out to be the next tourist-puller of the region." In a recent article Joydeep Sircar has claimed to have solved the 'mystery' behind the Lake of No Return, which he visited in 2002. According to him, none of the legends associated with the name have any basis in fact.

Yolande Fox

Yolande Margaret Betbeze Fox (November 28, 1928 – February 22, 2016) was an American singer, feminist, activist and beauty pageant titleholder who was crowned Miss America 1951.

Early life
Betbeze was born on November 28, 1928, in Mobile, Alabama, to William, a butcher, and Ethel Betbeze. Betbeze was raised in a Catholic family of French Basque descent, and she attended convent schools.

Career
She captured her first crown in 1949 when she won Mobile's "Miss Torch" pageant. In 1950, Fox (then Betbeze) entered Miss Alabama for the scholarship opportunities the pageant presented. As Miss Alabama, she traveled to Atlantic City, New Jersey, to compete in the Miss America 1951 pageant. Having been educated in a convent school, she was reluctant to pose in a swimsuit and refused to do so after she won Miss America. That led the swimsuit company, Catalina, to withdraw their sponsorship of the Miss America pageant and eventually brought about the creation of the rival Miss USA pageant. Fox's Miss America title, although won in 1950, was for 1951 and is the first Miss America title to be "postdated" in this manner. Due to the change, there was no Miss America 1950. The Miss America Organization has claimed that Fox's (then Betbeze's) actions were pivotal in directing pageant progress towards recognizing intellect, values, and leadership abilities, rather than focusing on beauty alone. From then on, the Miss America pageant concentrated more on scholarship than beauty.

Fox was active in the feminist movement. After her one-year reign as Miss America, she was active in the NAACP, CORE (Congress of Racial Equality), and SANE (The Committee for a SANE Nuclear Policy); and studied philosophy at the New School for Social Research in New York City.

Fox was an opera singer and did gain a reputation in that area. She continued to sing, appearing with the Mobile Opera Guild (now the Mobile Opera), and helped found an off-Broadway theater.

Personal life
She married movie magnate Matthew M. Fox, the former vice president of Universal Pictures, in 1954. They had one daughter, Yolande "Dolly" Fox Campbell. Her husband died of a heart attack in 1964, after 10 years of marriage.

After her husband's death, she moved to Georgetown, Washington, D.C., purchasing the Newton D. Baker House from Michael Whitney Straight and his then wife Nina Gore Auchincloss. The home had previously been the residence of Jacqueline Kennedy after the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963.

Fox had a relationship with Cherif Guellal, with whom she raised her grandchild, Yolande Paris Campbell, until Guellal's death in 2009.

In the early 1990s, Yolande Fox was contacted by the writer Philip Roth, who was researching the Miss America beauty pageant for his novel American Pastoral. Roth studied Fox's scrapbooks and interviewed her about the culture surrounding the pageant in the late 1940s; he later said, "She was very smart, very funny....She just opened up whole ideas for me that I couldn't have had on my own."

Fox died on February 22, 2016, in Washington, D.C. of lung cancer.
