Goldfarb School of Nursing at Barnes-Jewish College

Barnes–Jewish College Goldfarb School of Nursing is a private nursing school in St. Louis. It is on the Washington University's Medical School and Barnes-Jewish Hospital campus. History The college began with the founding of the Jewish Hospital School of Nursing in 1902. It was one of first nursing schools in the United States to be accredited by the National League for Nursing (NLN). In 1955, the Barnes Hospital School of Nursing was established following the dissolution of the nursing program at Washington University in St. Louis. By the early 1990s, the Jewish Hospital School of Nursing was offering associate, bachelor's, and master's degrees. In 1995, the Barnes Hospital School of Nursing closed its independent operations, and the school was operated by the University of Missouri–St. Louis (UMSL) for a ten-year period as the Barnes College of Nursing at UMSL. In 2005, the Barnes name returned to the hospital system and merged with the Jewish Hospital program to form the Barnes-Jewish College of Nursing and Allied Health. Following a decision to focus exclusively on nursing, the allied health programs were phased out in May 2007, and the institution was renamed Barnes-Jewish College of Nursing. In December 2007, philanthropist Alvin Goldfarb donated $5 million to the college, capping a $20 million fundraising campaign by the Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital. In recognition of the donation, the institution was renamed the Goldfarb School of Nursing at Barnes-Jewish College. Half of the total funds raised, including a contribution from BJC HealthCare, financed the construction of Goldfarb Hall, a $40 million facility on the Washington University Medical Campus that opened in January 2008. The remaining funds were allocated to endow scholarships, professorships, research, and program development. The college opened a second campus at Missouri Baptist Medical Center in January 2012; howerver, this campus was removed from the college's facilities list in 2023. Academics Goldfarb has a nationally recognized educational facility with advanced technology in classrooms, lecture halls and simulation labs. Goldfarb School of Nursing at Barnes-Jewish College partners with top health care and educational institutions within the BJC HealthCare system and beyond to support its mission of advancing learning and innovation within the healing profession. The baccalaureate degree program in nursing/master's degree program in nursing/Doctor of Nursing Practice program/post-graduate APRN certificate program at school is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education. Barnes Jewish College and the Goldfarb School of Nursing is fully accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA). It also has approval from the Missouri Coordinator Board for Higher Education (MCBHE). Degree programs include a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), Master of Science in Nursing (MSN), and Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP). The college also offers a research-based Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Nursing Science. Notes External links Official website

Bellefontaine Bridge

The Bellefontaine Bridge is a four-span truss railroad bridge over the Missouri River between St. Charles County, Missouri, and St. Louis County, Missouri. It has four 440-foot (130 m) spans. Construction started on July 4, 1892, and the bridge opened on December 27, 1893. The bridge was built by the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad and is now owned and operated by BNSF Railway. New Jersey Steel and Iron Company of Trenton, New Jersey, served as the contractor for the original construction, and George S. Morison designed the structure. Notably, the bridge was one of the first to use a Baltimore truss design; the nearby Merchants Bridge (also designed by Morison) used a Pennsylvania through truss design and had opened just a few years prior. The truss spans are found on masonry piers, which were constructed atop caissons founded into bedrock below the river. The structure is the last railroad structure over the Missouri River before its confluence with the Mississippi River.

Benton Park, St. Louis

Benton Park is a neighborhood in southside St. Louis, Missouri, just west of the Soulard neighborhood. The official boundaries of the area are Gravois Avenue on the north, Cherokee Street on the south, I-55 on the east, and Jefferson Avenue on the west. Benton Park is unrelated to Benton Place, a private street located in Lafayette Square, St. Louis. History The area now comprising Benton Park proper was first used as the City Cemetery, from 1842 to 1865. Those buried in the cemetery were relocated in 1865, and the neighborhood was created on June 25, 1866, by city ordinance. The site of the park was originally 17 acres, but was reduced to 14 1/3 acres to accommodate perimeter streets. Noted horticulturist Edward F. Krausnick landscaped the park, incorporating a greenhouse, a footbridge, and two ponds. The park was used for botanical instruction and community activities and today is a popular recreational area. Originally named City Park, the park was later renamed after Thomas Hart Benton, the first U.S. Senator representing the people of Missouri. As the neighborhood grew, it attracted several breweries due to its location above a system of caves that were ideal for beer storage, or "lagering" in German, as many of the popular German styles require. The caves maintain a constant 55 degree temperature that is ideal for beer storage. Today, all of the cave entrances are sealed. One such cave, the McHose & English Cave, is said to run underneath Benton Park to the Lemp Brewery, several blocks to the southeast. The Lemp Brewery was one of the most notable of the city's breweries, which still stands today, although defunct. Demographics In 2020 Benton Park's racial makeup was 68.1% White, 22.3% Black, 0.4% Native American, 1.3% Asian, 6.8% two or more races, and 1.1% some other race. 3.8% of the population was of Hispanic or Latino origin.

Big Lake (Missouri)

Big Lake is a 646-acre (261.4 ha) oxbow lake in Holt County, Missouri, United States. A village name Big Lake is located along the eastern shore of the lake. It is the largest oxbow lake in the state of Missouri, which also makes it the largest natural body of water. Etymology Some of the earliest names for the lake include: Duckling Lake, Fish Lake, Higgins Lake, Impassable Lake, Tarkio Lake, Tarcio Slough, and most prominenetly, Tarkio Slough. The oldest published usage of Big Lake on a map was in a 1955 USGS map, though it is believed to originate from the 1870s. The last recorded use of Tarkio Slough was in a 1930 plat map. History It is believed to have been formed from the Missouri River some time before the Lewis and Clark Expedition visited the area in 1804. The lake was a popular trapping and trading location in northwest Missouri even before the Platte Purchase. The first permanent settlement along the lake was established in November 1847 by the Higgins brothers. The village of Big Lake was incorporated in the 1990s to help organize and fund water utilities and levee improvements. Geography Big Lake is located about 3 miles (4.8 km) east of the Missouri River and 5 miles (8.0 km) west of Loess Bluffs National Wildlife Refuge. Route 111 passes along the eastern shore of the lake for over 2 miles, and US 159 passes just south of the lake a few miles east from the Brownville Bridge over the Missouri River. The villages of Bigelow and Fortescue lie east of Big Lake and their economy is supported by seasonal hunting and fishing. All of Big Lake is within the corporate limits of the Village of Big Lake. State Park Big Lake State Park, a 407-acre (1.6 km2) state park, was established on the lake's northeast side in 1932. The State Park includes the largest marsh in a state park in Missouri. The remaining two-thirds of the lake shore is occupied by privately owned cabins and residences. References See also Big Lake State Park Big Lake, Missouri List of lakes of Missouri
Big Muddy National Fish and Wildlife Refuge

The Big Muddy National Fish and Wildlife Refuge was established in 1994, and has grown to over 16,700 acres (68 km2). Like pearls on a string, these acres are spread out as individual units along the Missouri River between Kansas City and St. Louis. These pearls of habitat benefit floodplain-dependent fish and wildlife species. The Big Muddy Refuge is planning to grow to 60,000 acres (240 km2) by buying land from willing sellers who want to see their properties set aside for the benefit of wildlife and the enjoyment of all. The pre-development Missouri River as documented by Lewis and Clark was considerably different from today's river. The historic Missouri was a broad, slow-moving, shallow river with braided channels. These past river conditions created a haven for wildlife, which included vast floodplain forests of giant trees, marshes, and even wet prairies. Today's river is channelized. It is deeper and faster, and controlled by levees, dikes, and other containment structures. These controls make the river more navigable and the surrounding floodplain ideal for agriculture. The Big Muddy Refuge is allowing the Missouri River to be a river again, to enter its floodplain. This occurs during minor flood events. Management has created side channels, cut down levees, and allowed the floodplain vegetation to return. Currently, in many places the refuge is an impenetrable thicket of young trees and vegetation, but, as the trees grow and the refuge matures, its appearance will change. The process may take decades or even centuries. Missouri River tracts There are sixteen separate units of land along the Missouri River that comprise Big Muddy NWR. Other tracts There are four separate units of land along other rivers besides the Missouri River. One is in the Grand River watershed in northern Missouri, and three are in the Osage River watershed in western Missouri.

Big Muddy National Fish and Wildlife Refuge

Le Big Muddy National Fish and Wildlife Refuge a été créé en 1994 et s'étend sur 68 km2 le long de la rivière Missouri entre Kansas et Saint-Louis. Il comprend des habitats bien adaptés aux poissons et autres espèces dépendants des plaines inondables du bord du Missouri. Le refuge devrait atteindre 240 km2 par l'achat de terres à des vendeurs consentants qui veulent voir leurs propriétés mises de côté au profit de la faune. Le Missouri d'origine, comme documenté par Lewis et Clark était nettement différent de la rivière d'aujourd'hui. Il s'agissait d'une rivière très large et peu profonde au débit très lent. Ainsi il y était bordé à l'époque de vastes forêts, de marais et de prairies humides même. La rivière d'aujourd'hui est canalisée. Son débit est de plus en plus rapide et contrôlé par des digues et autres barrages. Tout cela rend la rivière plus navigable et la plaine environnante idéale pour l'agriculture. Écologie Le Refuge Big Muddy permet à la rivière Missouri de retrouver ponctuellement sa forme d'origine. Lors d'inondations mineures les plaines environnantes sont à nouveau recouvertes d'eau. La direction a créé des canaux secondaires, réduit les digues, et permis à la végétation typique de la plaine inondable de revenir. Actuellement, dans de nombreux endroits du refuge on trouve un taillis impénétrable de jeunes arbres, dont l'apparence change au fil du temps. Le processus peut prendre des décennies ou même des siècles avant que l'habitat ne se stabilise.

Boulevard Brewing Company

De Boulevard Brewing Company is een Amerikaanse brouwerij in Kansas City (Missouri). De brouwerij is sinds oktober 2013 eigendom van de Belgische brouwerij Duvel Moortgat. Geschiedenis De constructie van de brouwerij begon in 1988 door John McDonald. In een stenen gebouw van rond de eeuwwisseling in Southwest Boulevard, Kansas City, werd een brouwinstallatie opgebouwd met tweedehandse brouwketels van een failliete brouwerij in Beieren, Duitsland. Het eerste bier , de Boulevard Pale Ale, werd in de herfst van 1989 geproduceerd en in 1990 volgde de Boulevard Unfiltered Wheat Beer. In 1999 en 2003 werd de brouwerij uitgebreid en in maart 2005 volgde een uitbreidingsproject van 20 miljoen US$ met een nieuwe brouwzaal en verpakkingseenheid naast het bestaande gebouw. De capaciteit bedroeg vanaf 2006 60.000 barrels (vaten) per jaar. In de herfst 2011 werd opnieuw 3 miljoen US$ geïnvesteerd in de originele brouwerij op Southwest Boulevard waarbij de zes 105-barrel-gisttanks werden vervangen door acht 300-barrel-gisttanks waardoor de jaarlijkse brouwcapaciteit toenam met 35.000 barrels. Op 18 oktober 2013 werd de brouwerij eigendom van Duvel Moorgat. De Amerikaanse brouwerijen Boulevard Brewing Company, Brewery Ommegang (Cooperstown) en de Firestone Walker Brewing Company (sinds 2015) vormen samen de brouwerijgroep Duvel Moortgat USA. In de top-50 van 2014, gepubliceerd door de Brewers Association (BA), stond Duvel Moortgat USA op een 12de plaats in de lijst van U.S. Craft Brewing Companies en op een 18de plaats in de lijst van Overall U.S. Brewing Companies (gebaseerd op gebrouwen volume).
