University of Nebraska–Lincoln

University of Nebraska–Lincoln (oftast kallat bara University of Nebraska eller UN) är ett amerikanskt offentligt universitet i Lincoln i delstaten Nebraska, USA. Det är Nebraskas äldsta och största universitet. University of Nebraska grundades 1869, och år 1873 gick den första klassen ut. Mellan 1890 och 1895 ökade antalet studenter från cirka 300 till 1500, och universitetet fortsatte att växa fram till sekelskiftet 1800/1900. Då avtog sakta universitetets expansion, och man diskuterade frågan att flytta universitetet från Lincolns centrala delar, men något sådant blev aldrig av. I slutet av 1940-talet upplevde universitetet ett nytt stort uppsving då hemvändande soldater från andra världskriget behövde utbildningsplatser. Idag är University of Nebraska ett relativt stort och välmående universitet som har en stadig ökning av studerande. Universitetet har två campus, ett i centrala Lincoln och ett några kilometer öster om staden, som sammanlagt uppgår till 1 139 hektar. Vidare är universitetet något mer selektivt än medel och är således något svårare att komma in på. Det var dock 67 % av alla ansökningar 2008 som godkändes, vilket i princip är något över medel. Sport University of Nebraskas sportlag heter Nebraska Cornhuskers, där framförallt det amerikanska fotbollslaget är välkänt. Nebraska Cornhuskers lag i amerikansk fotboll spelar i Big Ten-Conference och är ett av divisionens mest framgångsrika lag.

Bryan Bridge

The Bryan Bridge was constructed to carry U.S. Route 20 over the Niobrara River in Cherry County, Nebraska, near Valentine. It was built in 1932 and is a pin-connected arch bridge that is designated "Most Beautiful Steel Bridge" in its year, out of bridges costing less than $250,000, by the American Institute of Steel Construction. It is named after then-sitting Nebraska governor Charles W. Bryan. According to its NRHP nomination, it is significant "in the area of structural engineering on a state level as an excellent and well-preserved example of a pin-connected cantilever arch bridge. It is the only one of its kind in Nebraska." The NRHP nominator interviewed its designer, Josef Sorkin of the state's Division of Bridge Design, on why he chose this type of design, and reported that he replied "aesthetics, it blended into the surroundings and it was also an economical design for the site." Cantilever arch structures, which have been infrequently used nationwide, were constructed in the mid 1920s to mid 1930s. The cantilever type of truss bridge permitted longer spans and was typically used for spanning major rivers." National Register designation was given in 1988. It is also designated as NeHBS #CE00-28. In 1995, the bridge was designated as a State Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers. U.S. Route 20 now crosses the Niobrara River about 2,000 feet (610 m) to the north. References External links More photos of the Bryan Bridge at Wikimedia Commons
Catedral de la Natividad de la Santísima Virgen María (Grand Island)

La Catedral de la Natividad de la Santísima Virgen María​ (en inglés: Cathedral of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary)​ también conocida como la catedral de Santa María, es la iglesia catedral de la diócesis de Grand Island, situada en la ciudad de Grand Island,​ Nebraska, Estados Unidos.​ Fue incluida en el Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos de Estados Unidos en 1982. Después que llegó el ferrocarril al condado de Hall en 1868, se decidió que una iglesia debe ser construida. El ferrocarril de Union Pacific donó el terreno en Grand Island en 1869 y una iglesia, llamada Santa María, fue construida bajo la dirección del Rev. M. J. Ryan. El edificio, sin embargo, fue destruido por una tormenta de viento antes de su dedicación. Un segundo intento de construir una iglesia en 1873 fue detenido debido a una depresión económica. Un tercer intento se inició el 17 de febrero de 1877. La primera piedra fue colocada el 7 de mayo; El edificio fue terminado en julio, y la nueva iglesia fue dedicada en septiembre de 1877. El 8 de marzo de 1912, el Papa Pío X divide la Diócesis de Omaha en dos partes, con el establecimiento de la Diócesis de Kearney en el oeste de Nebraska. Cuatro años después, el Papa Benedicto XV añadió cuatro condados adicionales a la nueva diócesis. En 1917, la ciudad sede se trasladó de Kearney a Grand Island, y la diócesis fue renombrada en consecuencia. Una nueva catedral fue diseñada por Brinkman & Hagan y fue modelado sobre la base de la Sainte-Chapelle de París. El cardenal Patrick Hayes de Nueva York consagró la nueva catedral, el 5 de julio de 1928.

Chautauqua Pavilion (Hastings, Nebraska)

The Chautauqua Pavilion is an octagonal pavilion located in Chautauqua Park in Hastings, Nebraska. The pavilion was constructed in 1907 for summer Chautauqua assemblies in Hastings. According to the Historic American Engineering Record, the pavilion's design is unique; in fact, the HAER does not have a name for certain design elements used in the pavilion. The building's pyramidal roof is supported by columns along the pavilion's perimeter; a triangular truss atop the columns acts as the pavilion's superstructure. A vent at the top of the roof is supported by a Howe truss. A stage and orchestra pit are located inside the pavilion, though the majority of the space inside the pavilion is open, allowing a variety of activities to be held there. The Hastings chapter of the Chautauqua movement held independent assemblies at the pavilion until 1913, when it merged with the national movement. Hastings continued to host Chautauqua events until the 1920s, when the movement declined due to the rise of film and radio. The pavilion was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 19, 1978. References External links Photos from the NRHP nomination
Eugene C. Eppley Administration Building

The Eugene C. Eppley Administration Building is located on the University of Nebraska at Omaha north campus in Omaha, Nebraska. History After attending an Omaha University football game with then-college president Milo Bail in 1949, Gene Eppley was asked what the growing university needed. Milo told him that a library was in order for their new campus, to which Eppley wrote a check for $850,000, the entire cost of the two-story structure. Seven years after his death in 1958, the Eppley Foundation donated $50,000 to assist the university's hiring of new professors, and in 1976 the original Eugene Eppley Library became the current Eppley Administration building. Eppley's gift and the building of the Eppley Administration Building is credited with accelerating the growth of Omaha University. Several buildings, including the student center and engineering buildings, were built soon after the opening of the Eppley Building. The overall growth of the university in the years after the building's dedication is attributed to the opening of the library, as well. References
International Quilt Museum

The International Quilt Museum (formerly the International Quilt Study Center and Museum) is a textile museum at the East Campus of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in Lincoln, Nebraska. Founded in 1997, the museum moved to its current location in 2008 and houses the largest known public collection of quilts in the world. History The International Quilt Museum was founded in 1997 under the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. The museum began when Ardis and Robert James donated their collection of almost 950 quilts to the university. The museum originally began as the International Quilt Study Center and the collection included Quilts From the Heartland, Mennonite Quilts, World Quilt '98, and Fanciful Flowers. Originally located inside of the Home Economics Building, the University of Nebraska–Lincoln announced that it would move to a new location. The building would be 37,000 square feet (3,400 m2) large, and would be adjacent to the university's East Campus. Designed by Robert A. M. Stern Architects, ground was broken for the museum in July 2006. The museum officially opened in its new location in March 2008. Upon its opening, the museum had 2,300 pieces of artwork valued at $10 million. In May 2015, the museum made an expansion to the West side of the building. The addition was 13,200 square feet (1,230 m2) and was made possible by a donation from the Robert and Ardis James Foundation. Additionally, a digital gallery was added. In July 2019, its name was changed to the International Quilt Museum. Collection The collection includes early examples of American and European quilts as well as contemporary studio quilts and international quilts. It numbers more than 9000 quilts from over sixty countries, dating as far back as the seventeenth century. Faculty and curatorial staff, visiting scholars and graduate student researchers study the world's quilt heritage at the center, and an ongoing acquisitions program seeks to document the full scope of global quilting traditions. The museum's current focus is expanding the scope of its international and contemporary collections. The museum publishes catalogues to accompany some of its exhibitions, which have included Wild by Design, Quilts in Common, American Quilts in the Modern Age 1870 - 1940, Perspectives: Art, Craft, Design and the Studio Quilt, and Marseille: The Cradle of White Corded Quilting.

Знаходячись після ГЕС Guernsey (6,4 МВт) становить нижній ступінь в каскаді на Норт-Платт, лівій твірній річки Платт, котра в свою чергу є правим допливом Міссурі (найбільша права притока Міссісіпі). У 1936—1941 роках у межах великого іригаційного і протиповеневого проекту річку перекрили земляною греблею Kingsley висотою 49 метрів, довжиною біля 5600 метрів та товщиною від 9 (по гребеню) до 335 (по основі) метрів. Основну частину матеріалу для її зведення — 15,1 млн м3 — вибрали з нижнього Б'єфу за допомогою двох земснарядів, внаслідок чого там утворилось озеро Огалла завдовжки 2,5 км. Всього ця споруда потребувала 19,9 млн м3 ґрунту, а на укріплення її поверхні пішло 0,8 млн м3 скельних порід та 180 тисяч бетонних тетраедрів. Гребля утримує витягнуте по долині Норт-Платт на 35 км водосховище McConaughy з площею поверхні 123 км2 та об'ємом 2,2 млрд м3. В 1981—1984 роках комплекс доповнили пригреблевим машинним залом, обладнаним однією турбіною типу Каплан потужністю 50 МВт, яка використовує напір у 43 метри. Примітки

Lincoln North Star High School

Lincoln North Star High School (LNS or North Star) is a public secondary school located in Lincoln, Nebraska, United States. It opened its doors in 2003 to 1,150 students, and as of 2022–2023 has approximately 2070 students. North Star operates on a traditional seven-period day schedule, sometimes with eight periods for those who choose it. The school features a system of academies to assist students with post-secondary planning. The means to implement the academies were provided through federal and local grants. Students may participate in the Science and Engineering Academy, Business and Information Technology Academy, Law and Global Affairs Academy, Health and Biotechnology Academy, and Arts and Communications Academy. North Star was the first Lincoln high school to use this innovative system, which has since been expanded to the other five Lincoln public high schools in the form of Professional Learning Communities. North Star was originally supposed to be named Lincoln Northwest; at the time, every high school in Lincoln Public Schools was named after a direction depending on their respective location, with the exception of Lincoln High. Before the school opened, the students voted on the name North Star. The school's colors are navy blue and burgundy/maroon. Although the official mascot is the North Star Navigator, its mascot is an alligator, nicknamed "Navi Gator". From its founding in 2003 until 2006, North Star hosted a middle school, North Star Middle School, in a separate wing. Traditions North Star has many traditions which have started during its short existence. One of these is the Gator Walk to state, in which the North Star Drumline marches through the school playing cadences while followed by students who have qualified for state events to send them off to their state events. There is also a Gator Walk for all freshmen at the end of the first day of school, as well as a final Gator Walk for graduating seniors, days before graduation. Qualifying state members also receive a "North Star State Qualifier" shirt. North Star is also known for having lunch jams once a quarter, in which certain groups such as the jazz band perform during lunch to entertain the students. The Telescope is the high school newspaper. The cafeteria is nicknamed as the Bayou and the main gym is called the Swamp, following the theme of the alligator mascot.
