# White Skies

White Skies (1949–1955) was an American Champion Thoroughbred racehorse. An October 19, 1987 article in Sports Illustrated referred to White Skies as a "bullet" horse in the same vein as racing greats such as Tom Fool, Decathlon, Ta Wee, Dr. Fager, and Forego.

## Background

Bred by renowned Lexington, Kentucky horseman, Charles Nuckols Jr., he was out of the mare Milk Dipper and sired by Calumet Farm's Arlington Futurity winner, Sun Again.
Purchased and raced by Kentucky tobacco grower, William M. Wickham, he was trained by former jockey, Tommy Root.

## Racing career

White Skies earned wins in the 1952 Pageant and Princeton Handicaps. Best suited as a sprinter, he raced primarily at distances of six to seven furlongs. At age four in 1953, his wins included the Interborough and Sport Page Handicaps plus he set a new track record of 1:22 3/5 for seven furlongs in a win at the Atlantic City Race Course. At age five, White Skies had his best year and was voted the 1954 American Champion Sprint Horse. His wins included the Carter, Toboggan and Paumonok Handicaps plus the seven-furlong Rosben Handicap in a time of 1:22 2/5, only two-fifths of a second slower than the track record set forty-eight years earlier in 1906.
Regularly burdened with weights from 132 to 136 pounds, even when White Skies lost, the winner's time often had to be very fast as was the case when he finished second in track record time in the Oceanport Stakes to Robert L. Gerry's Master Ace at Monmouth Park. In the race, Master Ace carried 106 pounds to White Skies' 136.
White Skies raced again in 1955 at age six, and after going undefeated in seven career races at tracks in New York state, he incurred his first loss there in the 1955 Paumonok Handicap when he ran third to winner, Bobby Brocato.

## Death

On May 2, 1955, White Skies suffered a compound fracture of his right hind cannon bone during a training run at Jamaica Race Course in Queens, New York and had to be euthanized.

# Whirlpool Aero Car

The Whirlpool Aero Car or Spanish Aero Car is a cable car located in Niagara Falls, Ontario that transports passengers over a section of the Niagara River referred to as the Niagara Whirlpool. The system was designed by Spanish engineer Leonardo Torres Quevedo and has been upgraded several times since 1916 (in 1961, 1967 and 1984). The system uses one car that carries 35 standing passengers over a one-kilometre trip.

## Technical specifications

The Aero Car is suspended on six interlocking steel cables, each of which is 25 mm (0.98 in) in diameter. The car is powered by an electric 50 horsepower (37 kW) motor and travels at approximately 7 km/h (4.3 mph). In the event of a power failure, a diesel engine drives a hydraulic pump to pull the carrier back to the loading/unloading terminal. It also has a rescue car which holds four passengers and one operator. The rescue car has so far only been used for training purposes.
The Aero Car is suspended between two Canadian points, though it crosses the Canadian and American borders four times on a full trip. The car crosses the border about 500 feet (150 m) from the starting point and runs through United States territory for about 200 feet (61 m), but riders need no immigration clearance. At each end of the crossing, it is 220 feet (67 m) high, and in the centre, it averages 200 feet (61 m) above the river depending on the level of the water below. Its span is 1,770 feet (540 m). The rapids entering the whirlpool below the Aero Car move at an estimated 35 to 37 km/h (22 to 23 mph), and the flow of the water coming through the river is about 2,800 cubic metres per second (2.3 acre⋅ft/s; 740,000 US gal/s; 620,000 impgal/s) in the summer months, and 1,400 cubic metres per second (1.1 acre⋅ft/s; 370,000 US gal/s; 310,000 impgal/s) in the winter months. From the Aero Car, sightseers can see Whirlpool State Park in Niagara Falls, New York, as well as the Robert Moses Niagara Hydroelectric Power Station in Lewiston, New York. From the side or centre of the car, one can view the violent motion of the 60 acres (0.24 km$^2$) whirlpool below. Riders may also see hikers on nature trails and fishermen on both sides of the river.
The car was originally open, but a roof has been added to all later designs. A four-person rescue car is available (a smaller silver car stored at the opposite end in an indoor area), but not used in regular service.
The car operates from 10am to 5pm from the second week of March to the first week of November. Despite the similarities between the Aero Car and ski lifts, it has not been operated in winter since 2004.

# White rice

White rice is milled rice that has had its husk, bran, and germ removed. This alters the flavor, texture and appearance of the rice and helps prevent spoilage, extend its storage life, and makes it easier to digest. After milling (hulling), the rice is polished, resulting in a seed with a bright, white, shiny appearance.
The milling and polishing processes both remove nutrients. An unbalanced diet based on unenriched white rice leaves many people vulnerable to the neurological disease beriberi, due to a deficiency of thiamine (vitamin B$_1$). White rice is often enriched with some of the nutrients stripped from it during its processing. Enrichment of white rice with B$_1$, B$_3$, and iron is required by law in the United States when distributed by government programs to schools, nonprofits, or foreign countries. As with all natural foods, the precise nutritional composition of rice varies slightly depending on the variety, soil conditions, environmental conditions and types of fertilizers.
Adopted over brown rice in the second half of the 19th century because it was favored by traders, white rice has led to a beriberi epidemic in Asia.
At various times, starting in the 19th century, brown rice and other grains such as wild rice have been advocated as healthier alternatives. The bran in brown rice contains significant dietary fiber and the germ contains many vitamins and minerals.
Typically, 100 grams of uncooked rice produces around 240 to 260 grams of cooked grains, the difference in weight being due to absorbed cooking water.

## Milling rice

Before mechanical milling, rice was milled by a hand pounding technique with large mortar and pestle type devices. Some versions of this improved uniformity of the product, but with mechanical milling much larger quantities were able to be produced. In the late 19th century, different machines were produced like the Huller & Sheller Mills (1870) and the Engelberg Milling Machine (1890). By 1955, new machinery had been developed in Japan that had significantly improved the quality and output capacity.

## Nutritional content

While brown rice and white rice have similar amounts of calories and carbohydrates, brown rice is a far richer source of all nutrients when compared to unenriched white rice. Brown rice is whole rice from which only the husk (the outermost layer) is removed. To produce white rice, the bran layer and the germ are removed, leaving mostly the starchy endosperm. This process causes the reduction or complete depletion of several vitamins and dietary minerals. Missing nutrients, such as vitamins B1 and B3, and iron, are sometimes added back into the white rice, a process called enrichment. Even with the reduction of nutrients, unenriched white rice is still a good source of manganese and contains moderate amounts of other nutrients such as pantothenic acid and selenium.
# Wild Horse Stampede

Wild Horse Stampede is a 1943 American Western film directed by Alan James and starring Ken Maynard and Hoot Gibson, who play marshals with their own names in the manner of Gene Autry and Roy Rogers. It was the first of eight Monogram Pictures "The Trail Blazers" film series, replacing the studio's Range Busters series.

## Plot

Cowboys Hoot Gibson and Ken Maynard try to help newly appointed sheriff Bob Tyler. The Army needs a herd of horses to help protect the new railroad line from Indian attacks, but bad guy and town boss Carson tries to stop the delivery. Gibson, Maynard, and Tyler must save the day.

# Wild arc

In geometric topology, a wild arc is an embedding of the unit interval into 3-dimensional space not equivalent to the usual one in the sense that there does not exist an ambient isotopy taking the arc to a straight line segment.
Antoine (1920) found the first example of a wild arc. Fox & Artin (1948) found another example, called the Fox-Artin arc, whose complement is not simply connected.

## Fox-Artin arcs

Two very similar wild arcs appear in the Fox & Artin (1948) article. Example 1.1 (page 981) is most generally referred to as the Fox-Artin wild arc. The crossings have the regular sequence over/over/under/over/under/under when following the curve from left to right.
The left end-point 0 of the closed unit interval $[0,1]$ is mapped by the arc to the left limit point of the curve, and 1 is mapped to the right limit point. The range of the arc lies in the Euclidean space $\mathbb {R} ^{3}$ or the 3-sphere $S^{3}$.

### Fox-Artin arc variant

Example 1.1* has the crossing sequence over/under/over/under/over/under. According to Fox & Artin (1948), page 982: "This is just the chain stitch of knitting extended indefinitely in both directions."
This arc cannot be continuously deformed to produce Example 1.1 in $\mathbb {R} ^{3}$ or $S^{3}$, despite its similar appearance.
Also shown here is an alternative style of diagram for the arc in Example 1.1*.

# Wilhelm Streitberg

Wilhelm August Streitberg (23 February 1864 – 19 August 1925) was a German Indo-Europeanist, specializing in Germanic languages. Together with Karl Brugmann, he founded the Indogermanische Forschungen journal.
He studied Germanistics and Indo-European philology at Münster Academy and at the universities of Berlin and Leipzig, receiving his habilitation for Indo-European linguistics at Münster in 1889. In 1906, he became a full professor, and three years later relocated to the University of Munich as a professor of Indo-European linguistics. In 1920, he returned to Leipzig, where he taught classes up until his death in 1925. From 1911 to 1920, he was a member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences.

# Will Cressy

Will Martin Cressy (October 29, 1863 – May 7, 1930) was an American vaudeville actor, comedian, writer and playwright.

## Life and career

He was born in Bradford, New Hampshire, where his father ran an animal feed business, and was educated in Concord. He started work as a traveling salesman, and acted in amateur shows before starting his career in the theatre. His first professional stage appearance was in 1889, as a member of the Frost & Fanshawe touring company. In 1890 he married another member of the company, Blanche Dayne.
For six years Cressy worked with Denman Thompson in The Old Homestead theatre company, playing the part of Cy Prime. Cressy and Dayne then debuted in vaudeville in 1898. The couple performed and toured widely, working mainly in B. F. Keith's theaters. They became one of the most popular and highly paid vaudeville acts of the period between the 1890s and 1920s, and toured internationally as well as within the U.S.. Cressy wrote all their comedic sketches, which included "Grasping an Opportunity", "A Village Lawyer", and "The Wyoming Whoop". Most were based on true incidents recalled from his early years in a small New Hampshire town. A biographical sketch in 1919 said of Cressy: "Not only is he a master in his line as an actor and entertainer, but he undoubtedly leads the world as an author of vaudeville sketches, or one act plays, having produced about one hundred and fifty, and is credited with having written about half of all the playlets now being presented in vaudeville."
During the First World War, Cressy donated much time to entertaining groups of orphans. He was heavily involved in fund-raising drives in support of the war effort, and was one of the "Four Minute Men" appointed by U.S. President Woodrow Wilson to speak to audience on patriotic subjects. In August 1918, he and Dayne traveled to France as part of the Overseas Theatre League, leading the first American company to entertain troops. While there, he was severely injured and suffered permanent damage as the result of a mustard gas explosion. The pair were among the first to enter Verdun after the signing of the armistice.
Cressy and Dayne built a house for themselves at Blodgetts Landing, New Hampshire, where they entertained many leading show business personalities of the time and contributed to the local community. They spent much time traveling around by motor car. Cressy wrote a number of humorous books about their travels and other anecdotes, as well as many newspaper articles. The couple also had a winter home in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Cressy died in St. Petersburg in 1930, at the age of 66. He was buried with military honors at Pleasant Hill Cemetery, Bradford, New Hampshire.
# Wiedau

Wiedau is a river of Lower Saxony, Germany. It is a left-hand tributary of the Wümme.
The Wiedau begins near Bellen (a district of Brockel) in the vicinity of Hemslingen in the district of at the confluence of the Hahnenbach and the Mehlandsbach. In the area the Samtgemeinde Bothel, it flows through a densely wooded and near natural depression. It discharges into the Wümme in Rotenburg shortly after being joined by the only slightly smaller Rodau.

## Water sport

The Wiedau is popular with anglers and canoeists. At high water, the Wiedau can be navigated from the road bridge in Bellen near Hemslingen to its mouth on the Wümme by small kayaks, a distance of 23 km (14 mi).

# William Austin (film editor)

William Nelson Austin (January 28, 1903 – December 28, 1993) was a Canadian-American film editor. He was nominated for an Academy Award in the category Best Film Editing for the film Flat Top.

## Career

"Bill" Austin began his career in 1928 as a freelance film editor, usually working for independent producers of westerns. One of his frequent employers was the notoriously low-budget filmmaker Robert J. Horner.
Austin's fortunes improved in 1936 when his native Canada passed a quota law, requiring that a percentage of motion pictures released in Canada must include Canadian personnel. Columbia Pictures complied with this requirement by sending Canadian-born crew members to studios north of the border. Austin's first editorial assignment was Secret Patrol, a Charles Starrett outdoor adventure. Austin remained in Canada for Columbia-sponsored projects through 1939, when the quota arrangement lapsed.
He resumed his career in Hollywood at the low-budget PRC studio. His handling of Universal's Sherlock Holmes mystery The Spider Woman (released in 1944) gave the film unusual suspense. It won him an assignment at Monogram Pictures, where his work on the Marjorie Weaver-Peter Cookson mystery Shadow of Suspicion (1944) earned him a permanent place at the studio. Austin became one of Monogram's dependables, editing comedies, musicals, mysteries, westerns, and melodramas. He was especially proficient with the studio's Bowery Boys comedies, editing 33 of the 48 films in the long-running series. When Monogram became Allied Artists, Austin remained with the company and edited dozens more features through 1964.
Austin also worked in television, as staff editor for The Abbott and Costello Show, The Barbara Stanwyck Show, Ben Casey, and Tarzan. He retired at age 65, after the Tarzan series, but returned to edit a low-budget outdoor adventure, Legend of the Northwest, in 1978.
William Austin died on December 28, 1993, in Los Angeles, California, at the age of 90.

# William Austin (poet)

William Austin (fl. 1662), was an English writer of verse and classical scholar.

## Life

He was the son of William Austin, the religious writer, and was a barrister of Gray's Inn, London.

## Poems on the wedding of Charles II

On the marriage of Charles II with Catherine of Braganza, Austin wrote two poems to celebrate the union, which were "presented to their majesties" on their passage down the Thames from Hampton Court to Whitehall (23 Aug. 1662). The first was entitled A Joyous Welcome to the most Serene and most Illustrious Queen of Brides, Catherine the Royal Spouse and Consort of Charles II (London, 1662 folio), and the second Triumphus Hymenæus, London's solemn Jubilee for the most auspicious Nuptials of their great Sovereign, Charles the Second (London, 1662, folio).
Both poems were elaborately printed, and are now highly prized as bibliographical rarities. They are full of bombastic eulogy, and are crowded with classical allusions, explained in voluminous and learned notes. In an address to the reader Austin not inaptly refers to his work as "this thatcht Tugurium of Poesie."

## Atlas under Olympus

In 1664 he produced a doggerel poem of similar calibre, bearing the title of Atlas under Olympus. An Heroick Poem by William Austin, of Gray's Inn, Esq. London, printed for the author, 1664 (8vo). It was dedicated to Charles II and George Monck, 1st Duke of Albemarle, and was a fulsome panegyric upon their achievements. Almost every line is based on a classical quotation, which is printed in each case at the foot of the page.

## Anatomy of the Pestilence

Austin's most readable production is a prosaic description in verse of the Great Plague of London. Its title runs: Ἑπιλοωα επη or the Anatomy of the Pestilence. A Poem in three parts, describing the deplorable condition of the city of London under its merciless dominion, 1665. What the Plague is, together with the causes of it. As also, the Prognosticks and most eftectual meanes of safety both preservative and curative. By William Austin, of Grayes Inne, Esq." (London, 1666, 8vo.) In an address to the reader it is stated that the poem was written at the request of "very worthy persons in the countrey at the time of the sickness when the mortality in London" reached "seven or eight thousand a week with some hundreds over and above." Although Austin here dispenses with classical allusions and annotations, he employs a number of Latin and Greek words in a slightly anglicised form. A portrait of the author is prefixed to the volume.

## Death

Austin was buried in the parish church of Southwark, near the monument of his father, but the year of his death is uncertain.
# William Alwyn Lishman

William Alwyn Lishman (16 May 1931 – 24 January 2021) was a British psychiatrist and neurologist most famous for writing Lishman's Organic Psychiatry, a neuropsychiatry textbook and standard reference for over thirty years in its field. Publishing company Blackwell had sought out Lishman to write the textbook, though he was reluctant until one day he wanted to buy a grand piano, which he did with an advance on the book.

# William Bent Berczy

William Bent Berczy (January 6, 1791 – December 9, 1873) was a farmer, painter and political figure in Upper Canada.

## Life
### Early years

He was born in London, England in 1791, the son of German immigrants William Berczy and Jeanne-Charlotte Allamand, and came to old York County in Upper Canada with his family in 1794. He grew up in York (now Toronto) (1794-1798, 1802-1804), Montreal (1798-1802, 1804-1812) and Quebec City (1804-1812) - wherever his father's development work required the family to relocate.

### War of 1812 and farming

He served in the Corps of Canadian Chasseurs during the War of 1812 and was at the Battle of Crysler's Farm. From 1818 to 1832, he lived on and off on a property near Sandwich (now Windsor), where he grew tobacco.

### Politics

From 1828 to 1834, he represented Kent in the Legislative Assembly of Upper Canada from the 9th to 11th Parliament. Despite representing Kent, Berczy was residing mostly at York during legislative sitting or in Sainte-Mélanie in then Lower Canada after 1832.

### Move to Lower Canada and later years

In 1832, he settled on the property at Sainte-Mélanie-d'Ailleboust of his wife, Louise-Amélie Panet (married 1819), who had inherited it from her father, seigneur Pierre-Louis Panet. Berczy was lieutenant-colonel in the Lower Canada with the 8th Military District, Canadian Militia unit based in Berthier, Quebec from 1845 to 1863, reaching the rank of colonel.
He died in Sainte-Mélanie-d'Ailleboust, Quebec in 1873, predeceased by his wife in 1863 and brother Charles Albert Berczy in 1858. Berczy and Panet died without having any children. He is buried at St-John's Anglican Cemetery in Kildare.

## Paintings

Like his father he was a painter. Two paintings by Berczy hang in the National Gallery of Canada, Huron Indians leaving residence near Amherstburg and Blessing of the Fields.
