# Claytonia rosea

***Claytonia rosea***, commonly called **Rocky Mountain spring beauty**, **western springbeauty** or **Madrean springbeauty**, is a diminutive spring blooming ephemeral plant with pale pink to magenta flowers. It grows a small round tuberous root and it one of the earliest wildflowers of spring in its range. It is found in dry meadows in forests of ponderosa and Chihuahuan pines, and moist ledges of mountain slopes of the Beaver Dam Mountains of Utah, Colorado Front Range, and Sierra Madre Occidental (including the Chiricahua Mountains), south and east to the Sierra Maderas del Carmen of Coahuila.

## Description

*Claytonia rosea* grow a small round tuber 20–100 mm in size with a corky or woody skin that is 5–10 mm thick to protect it. The stems can be 2–15 cm (0.8–6 in) long, but are absent when the plant is not large enough to flower. When the plant is young it will have leaves that rise directly from the soil on individual leaf stems (basal leaves). These basal leaves are blade linear to narrowly spatulate, 1–7 cm (0.39–2.8 in) long and 0.4–2 cm (0.2–0.8 in) wide. This difference helps to distinguish them from *Claytonia lanceolata* with its wider leaves. In addition, close examination of the leaves will show that *C. rosea* has leaves that are single ribbed or indistinctly triple ribbed in contrast to the distinctly triple ribbed leaves of *C. lanceolata*. When large enough to flower the basal leaves may be absent and instead there will be several leaf-like bracts that are attached to the flowering stem, the same blade linear shape and 2–5 cm (0.8–2 in) long. All of its leaves have a pointed end that may be slightly acute or obtuse. The leaves are fleshy/succulent, but not leathery.

### Flowers and seeds

The flower or bud will usually have multiple bracts, though rarely there will be just one bract. The bract that is closest to the flower will be leaf like, while the more distant ones are reduced to thin scales. Each flowering stem (inflorescence) will have about five to ten flowers. The sepals that enclose the bud open to be 3–5 mm in length. Each flower is 8–14 mm across with five pastel colored petals in a shade of pink, rose, or magenta. The petals are 8–10 mm long and the flower will have six ovules. The flowers also have five stamens that have pink tips. In the central part of its range in Colorado it blooms from March to May, rarely as late June. In Arizona they bloom as early as February in the lower parts of its habitat and as late at May at higher elevations. The flowers only open during warm and sunny weather, closing at night and during cloudy or wet weather. In a few warm microclimates in on rocky outcrops or south facing bare ground in the foothills near Denver they will sometimes bloom as early as the first of January and may do so in similar situations in other parts of their range.

The seeds of *Claytonia rosea* are very small, 2–3 mm, about the same size as a poppy seed. They are smooth, shiny, black in color, and shaped like a lens. The seeds have a 1–2 mm elaiosome, a fleshy structure that is usually associated with ant dispersal of seeds. The seed capsules have three valves.

## Taxonomy

*Claytonia rosea* was described by Per Axel Rydberg in 1904. In 1966 Ray J. Davis published an article classifying it as *Claytonia lanceolata* var. *rosea* in the journal Brittonia. Dianne K. Halleck and Delbert Wiens published an article setting forth an argument in favor of its status as a species. Their extensive field work showing distinctive chromosomal differences and reproductive isolation by ecological and seasonal differences was convincing.

Most authorities, including World Flora Online (WFO), Plants of the World Online (POWO), *Flora of North America,*, and the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service PLANTS database (PLANTS) recognize it at the species level. Though occasionally botanical publications continue to use *Claytonia lanceolata* var. *rosea* as the Vascular Plants of Arizona Editorial Committee did in *Canotia* in 2006.

*Claytonia rosea* is diploid on a chromosome base number of x =8, 2*n* = 16

### Name

The scientific name of the species, *rosea*, means pink, a reference to the color of the flowers.

## Habitat and distribution

*Claytonia rosea* is the earliest flower of spring in the foothills and montane forests. It It grows in small meadows, open hillsides, canyons, ravines, and mesas of montane ponderosa pine, Chihuahuan pine, and oak belts. In New Mexico they are reported to be found more often on north facing slopes or in shaded canyons. They are recorded growing from 800–2,400 meters (2,600–7,900 ft) in elevation.

The exact range of *Claytonia rosea* is uncertain with different authorities recording different areas. POWO records it in the four corner states of Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona and the Mexican state of Coahuila. PLANTS additionally records it as growing in Wyoming and Montana.

NatureServe has assessed the global status of *Claytonia rosea* as G4 - apparently secure, an uncommon but not rare species.

## Ecology

The first scientific observation of the *Lasioglossum* bee species *L. perpunctatum* was on flowers of *Claytonia rosea* near Boulder, Colorado by T.D.A. Cockerell and Marion Durbin Ellis.

## Cultivation

Rocky mountain spring beauty is occasionally grown in rock gardens or by those interested in wildflower gardening. Replanted corms will persist for a time even in less than ideal conditions, but will decline without reproducing if planted in areas subjected to either extreme drying during the summer or being flooded during rainstorms. Gardeners increase the numbers of this plant by seed rather than by division. Rich, well drained soil is their preferred condition in a garden setting. Plants are tolerant of being moved when blooming. Plants will freely reseed to produce additional individuals.

The roots, though small and not usually abundant, are edible. The wild foods author Harold D. Harrington found them to be crisp and starchy without much flavor when raw, but rather like earthy potatoes when boiled.

# Claude Gauthier (singer)

**Claude Gauthier** (born January 31, 1939) is a Quebec singer-songwriter and actor.

## Biography

### Early years

Gauthier grew up in a family that enjoyed and performed music. His father, Almazor Gauthier, sang Sundays in the Catholic Mass and his mother, Antonia Bélisle, played piano. Listening to the classic French singers of the time on radio, such as Edith Piaf and Charles Trenet, inspired him as well. But his musical revelation came when he heard Félix Leclerc for the first time on the radio. From then on, he wanted to make music and, like Leclerc, sing simple, direct songs about everyday life.

In 1954 Gauthier moved to Montreal where he worked for three years in the warehouse of the record dealer Édouard Archambault. After that he worked as a wilderness guide.

All during this time he wrote songs and he was soon rewarded for his efforts. Encouraged to take part in a contest for singer-songwriters put on by CKVL, in Montreal, in 1959, he won first prize for "Le Soleil brillera demain" ("the sun will shine tomorrow").

He left his job and started singing in the coffee houses in Montreal accompanying himself on guitar. His songs from this period include: "Ton nom", ("Your Name") and "Le Grand six pieds" ("The Big Six-footer"). "Le Grand six pieds" was a big hit for him. It was based on memories of his early childhood, of the people, their struggle to make ends meet; it was a metaphor for the people of Quebec.

### First album

He was signed up by the Columbia Record company. Gauthier's first album was called *Claude Gauthier chante Claude Gauthier* (Col FS-531). It included the song "Le Grand six pieds", which earned him the 1961 *Grand Prix du disque canadien*, awarded by the Montreal radio station CKAC.

He took part in the 1962 Mariposa Folk Festival and in 1964 he sang at Carnegie Hall, New York, where he was warmly received. He shared the stage with Buffy Sainte-Marie, and Peter, Paul, and Mary. Gauthier and Sainte-Marie (who was born in Saskatchewan) exchanged tunes and co-wrote a song together. Sainte-Marie called her version "Until it's time for you to go" and Gauthier entitled his, "T'es pas une autre".

Gauthier's success reached into France as well, and in 1966 he performed in Paris at the Olympia with Gilles Vigneault, Pauline Julien, and Clémence DesRochers. The following year he again appeared at the Olympia this time with Monique Leyrac, Les Jérolas, and Les Feux-Follets.

### Acting and recording

At this time Gauthier started on another career, that of actor. He was the male lead in and wrote music for the film *Entre la mer et l'eau douce* (1967), which was directed by Michel Brault and starred Geneviève Bujold. The song "Genevieve" which Gauthier wrote for the film was an independent success. He also acted in CBC TV's *Septième Nord* in 1967.

Gauthier started to record for a new record company, Gamma, a company that was in the process of recording a new generation of performers, such as Louise Forestier, and Robert Charlebois, bringing Gauthier to the awareness of a new generation. Gauthier performed with this outing of new talent at Expo 67. He appeared in the film "Où êtes-vous donc? in 1968.

This period in Gauthier's career was one that brought him to rock and roll and the politics that was in the air at the time. His album *Cerfs-Volants* (Gamma GS-158) came out in 1968 and won the Festival du disque award. It contained topical songs about world events, such as those that were happening in Vietnam.

During the next few years Gauthier recorded only 45s, but in 1972 his next album came out, *Le Plus Beau Voyage* (Gamma GS-158). It was recorded in France and it was one of his most successful recordings. A book of the same title containing his lyrics was published in Montreal in 1975.

### Acting in films

Starting in 1973 Gauthier began to act in films. His first effort at this time was in Michel Brault's film *Les Ordres* (1974). This film has as a background the events of the October crisis of 1970, when the Canadian Parliament promulgated the *War Measures Act*. In this film Gauthier plays an unemployed father who is arrested during the crisis.

The other films he acted in during this period were: *Partis pour la gloire* (1975) directed by Clément Perron for which Gauthier also composed the theme song "Les Beaux Instants", which appears on the LP of that name (1975, Presqu'Île PE 7500). And, he also acted in *La Piastre* (1976) directed by Alain Chartrand.

During the rest of the 1970s Gauthier devoted himself to music, starting with a series of performances at the Outremont Theatre in 1975. He performed at the Festival of French Song in Strasbourg (France) in 1977. His next album, *Ça Prend des Racines* (1977) — Presqu'île PE-7506 was successful but his singing career slowed down in the following years.

He sang with Félix Leclerc on Leclerc's album *My son* in 1978, and in 1982 he sang on Fabienne Thibeault's *Les chants aimés*. He did not put out another album under his own name until 1984's *Tendresses.o.s*.

Although Gauthier did continue to perform as a singer, he performed only occasionally and often with other musicians, such as the 1985 tour *Trois fois chantera* with Claude Léveillée and Pierre Létourneau. He also appeared at the Festival de St-Malo (1989). But these efforts were all in the background; his primary focus was on acting.

He appeared in Gilles Carle's *La guêpe* (1986), François Labonté's *Henri* (1986), Louise Carré's *Qui a tiré sur nos histoires d'amour* (1986), Yves Dion's *Les Enfants de la rue* (1987), Michel Brault's short drama *L'Emprise*(1988) (once again with Geneviève Bujold), and Robert Ménard's *L'Homme de rêve* (1991). He also composed the music for Alain Chartrand's film *Un homme de parole* (1991).

### First CD

Although he took part in the Montreal Francofolies in 1990 and put out his first CD, *Planète coeur*, in 1991 (Transit TRCD-9101), Gauthier turned his career toward television. He appeared in Arthur Leblanc's *Arthur* (1991) a documentary about the Acadian violinist Arthur Leblanc. And he also appeared in several Canadian TV series, including *Chambres en ville* (1989) and *Bombardier* (1992) a TV mini-series.

In the following years he put out four CDs: *L'Agenda* (1993, Transit TRCD-9105), *Quebec-Love* (a compilation, 1994, Gamma GCD-504), *Au Temps Des Boîtes à Chansons* (recordings made in 1962, and reissued in 1998), and *Jardins* (1998 — GSI Musique GSIC-989).

In the same year that *Jardins* came out, Gauthier joined younger musicians, Daniel Boucher, Sabrina Bisson, and Marie-Michele Desrosiers in a concert commemorating the tenth anniversary of the death of Félix Leclerc; the concert was called *Le 08-08-88 à 8h08*.

In 1999, Gauthier appeared in the critically acclaimed film by Michel Brault, *Quand je serai parti... vous vivrez encore* (English title: *The Long Winter*).

### Award

In November 2000 Gauthier received the *Prix Hommage* of the SOCAN (Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada) for a lifetime of creativity. His 14th album *L'homme qui passait par là* appeared in March 2001. Following that album a concert performance by the same name (*L'homme qui passait par là*) was presented at the Corona Theatre in Montreal and also at the Cabaret du Capitole in Quebec City in March 2002. This performance included a string quartet, and host of projections from film archives as well as exceptional dramatic lighting; it underscored Gauthier's 40-year career.

Starting in 2003 a series of retrospective recordings came out, *Le plus beau voyage de mes chansons 1959–1972* (GSI Musique GSIC-905) in which Gauthier reinterpreted his previous hits with a new group of musicians. And along with Daniel Boucher, Gauthier appeared in another homage to Félix Leclerc at the Fête nationale du Québec, 2003, at the Parc Maisonneuve, Montreal. Gauthier continues to perform as a singer-songwriter and as an actor.

abstract: The K-328 Leopard is an Akula-class submarine in the Russian Navy.

text:
# Russian submarine Leopard

The **K-328 *Leopard*** is an *Akula*-class submarine in the Russian Navy.

## Design

Project 971 has a double-hull design. The robust body is made of high quality alloy steel with σт = 1 GPa (10,000 kgf / cm²). To simplify the installation of equipment, the boat was designed using zonal blocks, which made it possible to transfer a significant amount of work from the cramped conditions of the sub's compartments directly to the workshop. After completion of the installation, the zonal unit is “rolled” into the hull of the boat and connected to the main cables and pipelines of the ship's systems. A two-stage damping system is used: all mechanisms are placed on damped foundations, in addition, each zone unit is isolated from the body by rubber-cord pneumatic shock absorbers. In addition to reducing the overall noise level of nuclear submarines, such a scheme can reduce the impact of underwater explosions on equipment and crew. The boat has a developed vertical tail unit with a streamlined boule, in which the towed antenna is located. Also on the submarine are two reclining thrusters and retractable bow horizontal rudders with flaps. A feature of the project is the smoothly mated connection of the tail unit to the hull. This is done to reduce noise-generating hydrodynamic eddies.

Power supply is carried out by a nuclear power plant. The lead boat, K-284 Akula, is equipped with an OK-650M.01 pressurized water-cooled nuclear reactor. On later orders, the AEU has minor improvements. Some sources report that subsequent boats are equipped with OK-9VM reactors. The thermal power of the reactor is 190 MW, the shaft power is 50,000 liters. with. Two auxiliary electric motors in the hinged outboard columns have a capacity of 410 hp. with., there is one diesel generator ASDG-1000.

## Construction and career

The submarine was laid down on 26 October 1988 at Sevmash, Severodvinsk. Launched on 28 June 1992 and commissioned on 30 December 1992.

From June to September 1994, he performed combat service with the 608th naval crew under the command of A.A. Popov. From 16 April to 4 July 1994, military service in the Atlantic was performed. Onboard was the K-317 crew under the command of S.V. Spravtsev.

From 12 May to 23 July 1999, combat service was performed with a regular crew.

From 12 February to 13 April 2000, combat service with the 608th crew on board, commander S. E. Kavlis.

From October to November 2001 and 2002, two more military services were performed, the commander of both was K. E. Onushkov.

From 2006 to 2007, he underwent a medium repair at Sevmash.

Since the end of June 2011, he has been at the Zvyozdochka CS under repair and refurbishment according to Project 971M, which is scheduled to be completed in 2021, the ship will have to meet the requirements of the 4th generation nuclear submarine.

On 25 December 2020, he was launched after repairs and modernization, is being completed and is being prepared for tests that will take at least six months.

At one point projected to re-enter service during 2021, but now projected as likely to begin post-refit sea trials in 2022.

On 2 March 2023, it was reported that *Leopard* was expected to return to service with the Northern Fleet in December 2023.

# Push-pull configuration

An aircraft constructed with a **push-pull configuration** has a combination of forward-mounted tractor (pull) propellers, and backward-mounted (pusher) propellers.

## Historical

The earliest known examples of "push-pull" engined-layout aircraft was the Short Tandem Twin.

An early pre-World War I example of a "push-pull" aircraft was the Caproni Ca.1 of 1914 which had two wing-mounted tractor propellers and one centre-mounted pusher propeller. Around 450 of these and their successor, the Ca.3 were built. One of the first to employ two engines on a common axis (tandem push-pull) was the one-off, ill-fated Siemens-Schuckert DDr.I fighter of 1917.

German World War I designs included the only Fokker twin-engined design of the period, the Fokker K.I from 1915; followed by the unusual Siemens-Schuckert DDr.I triplane fighter design of late 1917, and concluding with the laterally-offset "push-pull" Gotha G.VI bomber prototype of 1918.

Claudius Dornier embraced the concept, many of his flying boats using variations of the tandem "push-pull" engine layout, including the 1922 Dornier Wal, the 1938 Dornier Do 26, and the massive 1929 Dornier Do X, which had twelve engines driving six tractors and six pushers. A number of Farmans and Fokkers also had push-pull engine installations, such as the Farman F.121 Jabiru and Fokker F.32.

## Configuration

Push-pull designs have the engines mounted above the wing as Dornier flying boats or more commonly on a shorter fuselage than conventional one, as for Rutan Defiant or Voyager canard designs. Twin boomers such as the Cessna Skymaster and Adam A500 have the aircraft's tail suspended via twin booms behind the pusher propeller. In contrast, both the World War II-era Dornier Do 335 and the early 1960s-designed French Moynet M 360 Jupiter experimental private plane had their pusher propeller behind the tail.

## Design benefits

While pure pushers decreased in popularity during the First World War, the push-pull configuration has continued to be used. The advantage it provides is the ability to mount two propellers on the aircraft's centreline, thereby avoiding the increased drag that comes with twin wing-mounted engines. It is also easier to fly if one of the two engines fails, as the thrust provided by the remaining engine stays in the centerline. In contrast, a conventional twin-engine aircraft will yaw in the direction of the failed engine and become uncontrollable below a certain airspeed, known as VMC.

## Design problems

The rear engine operates in the disturbed air from the forward engine, which may reduce its efficiency to 85% of the forward engine. In addition the rear engine can interfere with the aircraft's rotation during takeoff if installed in the tail, or they require additional compromise to be made to ensure clearance. This is why they are more common on seaplanes, where this is not a concern.

## Piloting

Pilots in the United States who obtain a multi-engine rating in an aircraft with this push-pull, or "centerline thrust," configuration are restricted to flying centerline-thrust aircraft; pilots who obtain a multi-engine rating in conventional twin-engine aircraft do not have a similar limitation with regard to centerline-thrust aircraft. The limitation can be removed by further testing in a conventional multi-engine aircraft.

## Military application

Despite its advantages push-pull configurations are rare in military aircraft. In addition to the problems noted for civil aircraft, the increased risk to the pilot in the case of a crash or the need to parachute from the aircraft also pose problems. During a crash the rear engine may crush the pilot and if bailing out, the pilot is in danger of hitting the propeller. Examples of past military applications include the aforementioned Siemens-Schuckert DDr.I twin-engined triplane and the Gotha G.VI, with its engines mounted on the front and rear ends of two separate fuselages. More successful was the Italian Caproni Ca.3 trimotor, with two tractor engines and one pusher. Between the wars, most push-pull aircraft were flying boats, of which the Dornier Wal was probably the most numerous, while a number of heavy bombers, such as the Farman F.220 used engines mounted in push-pull pairs under the wings. Near the end of World War II, the German Dornier Do 335 push-pull twin-engined, *Zerstörer*-candidate heavy fighter featured explosive charges to jettison the rear propeller and dorsal tailfin, a manually-jettisonable main canopy, as well as an ejection seat. One of the last military aircraft to use the configuration was the American Cessna O-2, which was used for forward air control during the Vietnam War.

title: Roland and Marilyn Wehner House

abstract: The Roland and Marilyn Wehner House is a historic building located north of Iowa City, Iowa, United States. Local architect Roland Wehner designed this house for his own residence. Its architectural influence are the Usonian houses designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. In particular, Wehner was interested in creating a "modular, affordable, and organic design" for his home. This was his first Wrightian design out of college. The Wehner's bought the 2.33-acre (0.94 ha) property and moved their mobile home here in 1957. Because they had no children and limited funds, the main living pavilion and carport were completed in 1959. As the family grew the bedroom wing was added in 1964. The house is located on a wooded lot in a rural area. It follows an asymmetrical plan that is centered on the two-story living pavilion. The carport juts out to the northwest, the bedroom wing to the southwest, and the cantilevered deck to the east. Most of the windows face the east and south to take advantage of the sun, and to face away from the highway to the west. The exterior is composed of Anamosa Limestone and California Redwood siding. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.

Held over 2100 metres in January, it is seen as the main lead-up race to the Wellington Cup, which is run the following week.

## History

The 1989 race was named in the January 31 'Upper Hutt Leader' as the Mobil Wellington Stakes, and was won by the Melbourne Cup winning mare Empire Rose.

The 2020 edition was raced for a total stake of $70,000 on the same date as the $225,000 Group 1 Levin Classic and the $70,000 Group 3 Anniversary Handicap.
