# Par-A-Dice Hotel and Casino

Par-A-Dice Hotel and Casino is a casino located on the Illinois River off Illinois Route 116/U.S. Route 150 in East Peoria, Illinois, United States.

## History
### Planning and Development

According to the Illinois Gaming Board, The Riverboat Gambling Act was enacted in February 1990. Illinois was the second state to legalize riverboat gambling.
Both Peoria and East Peoria launched campaigns to host a riverboat casino, but there was also controversy in the community about legalized gambling in the area. The East Peoria Riverboat Corporation was formed, with Dale Burklund as president. Burkland owned the property where the Par-A-Dice Hotel Casino currently sits. The corporation applied for one of five licenses. Jim Jumer, owner of Jumer's Castle Lodge in Peoria, also applied for a license.
The Greater Peoria Riverboat Corporation invested $34 million into the Par-A-Dice.
The Par-A-Dice was named after an old tavern called "The Paradise" in East Peoria.

### Opening

The Par-A-Dice opened on November 20, 1991, in Peoria, Illinois, and moved across the river to East Peoria on May 18, 1993.
According to the Alton Telegraph, in its third week of operation, the Par-A-Dice made $660,093 from 17,160 passengers, a higher amount of passengers than the Alton Belle Casino.
The original boat was a paddle wheeler; the corporation leased the Spirit of Peoria while its East Peoria facilities were being readied for operations. The current vessel was placed in June 1994.
Originally established with local investors, it was later sold to Boyd Gaming on April 29, 1996, for $163 million in cash.
The Par-A-Dice had cruised the Illinois River 10 times daily during its early years, but stopped cruising altogether after Illinois dropped the requirement for riverboat casinos to leave their docks in June 1999. However, as the result of a new U.S. Coast Guard annual requirement, the riverboat set off for a few hours in the morning in June 2010 for the first time in 11 years.
Storefront gaming was legalized in 2012, which has threatened the casino's business model.

## Operations
### Casino

The Par-A-Dice has over 26,000 square feet of gambling space. The casino has over 1,000 slot machines and video poker machines. The Par-A-Dice has 21 table games including blackjack, craps, baccarat, roulette, and Texas hold-em poker. The casino also partners with FanDuel Sportsbook since 2020 for sports betting. In 2022, the casino partnered with BetMGM to enter the market in Illinois.

### Dining

# Peruvian Connection

Peruvian Connection Ltd. is a United States–based retailer of high-end women’s clothing and accessories. Originally started as a mail-order catalog, the company also sells online and through eight retail stores.

## History

Peruvian Connection was founded in Kansas in 1976 by the mother and daughter team, Biddy and Annie Hurlbut. The impetus for the company grew out of trips Annie Hurlbut took to Peru. It was there that she bought a fitted sweater with an alpaca fur-lined collar for her mother’s 50th birthday. Biddy later showed the sweater to a local buyer, who wanted 45 more.
The business grew slowly but steadily until a style writer from The New York Times did an interview with Annie for what would turn out to be a quarter-page article in the paper's Style section. Within three months, Peruvian Connection had 5,000 requests for catalogs.
With continued growth in the late 1980s, Hurlbut and her mother opened outlet stores to sell excess inventory. Peruvian Connection now has retail stores in New York, New York; Washington, D.C.; Santa Fe, New Mexico; Aspen, Colorado; Kansas City, Missouri; Boston, Massachusetts; Chicago, Illinois and London, England. A United Kingdom fulfillment center was opened in 1996 to serve customers in the United Kingdom and Europe.
Today, the company has about 200 employees in the United States, South America and the U.K. Peruvian Connection catalogs are printed in English with prices in dollars or pounds sterling, and in German with pricing in Euros. European orders are fulfilled through the United Kingdom branch, with call center operators speaking English or German.
Peruvian Connection is among Working Woman magazine's Working Women 500, a list of the largest women-run businesses, and is ranked among Internet Retailer’s Top 500 online retailers.

## Merchandise

Peruvian Connection focuses on women’s apparel made from the luxury fibers of alpaca and pima cotton. Most items are original designs produced by Peruvian Connection staff designers and handcrafted by artisans in Peru. "We continue to work with the same cottage industries," Hurlbut said. "Many of those have invested in their businesses; a lot are women-owned. We have relationships with our supplier base that go back 25 years, and we buy season after season from them."

# Adolph II, Prince of Anhalt-Köthen

Adolph II, Prince of Anhalt-Köthen, also Anhalt-Zerbst (16 October 1458 – 24 March 1526) was a German prince of the House of Ascania and ruler of the principality of Anhalt-Köthen. A Roman Catholic Bishop of Merseburg, he remained until his death a staunch opponent of Martin Luther.

## Life

Adolph was the fifth and youngest son of Adolph I, Prince of Anhalt-Köthen, by his wife Cordula, daughter of Albert III, Count of Lindau-Ruppin.
In 1471 he began his studies at the University of Leipzig and in 1475 was elected Rector. Because he and his brothers had decided to become priests, their father Adolph I drew up a succession contract with the Anhalt-Dessau branch of the House of Ascania, headed by George I, Prince of Anhalt-Dessau, to secure the existence of the principality. The contract stipulated that Adolph I would rule jointly with George's son Waldemar VI, and that Adolph I's half-brother Albert VI was to become co-ruler with Waldemar after Adolph's death. Upon the death of Albert VI, Adolph II and his brother Magnus succeeded their uncle as co-rulers of Anhalt-Köthen with their cousins Philip and Waldemar VI. Adolph used the title "Lord of Zerbst" to identify the portion of the principality in which he resided. Despite his spiritual office, Adolph participated in the government of his principality for several years; only in 1508 did he formally renounce his rights along with his brother Magnus.
In 1488 Adolph II became Provost of Magdeburg Cathedral, then was ordained as a priest two years later (in 1490). In 1507 was accepted by Bishop Thilo of Merseburg as his Coadjutor and succeeded him in 1514 as Bishop of Merseburg.
His administration over the Bishopric of Merseburg was prudent and kind. Besides his administrative duties, he also preached and taught. Although he fundamentally accepted the justification by faith doctrine proclaimed by Luther, he rejected all intervention in the existing Church order. In 1520 he ordered the burning of Luther's books and forbade the reading of the reformed Bible translation in 1522. In 1523 Adolph petitioned Duke George of Saxony for the expulsion of the Lutheran minister Sebastian Fröschel from Leipzig.
In May 1525 he was in Leipzig, where he consecrated the Nikolaikirche, when Protestant disturbances broke out in Merseburg, reinforcing his opposition to the Reformation. He died in March the following year while en route to Leipzig to encourage his nephew, Prince George, to still more rigorous anti-Protestant measures. He is buried in Merseburg Cathedral.
# Hard Meat

The trio's debut single was a cover of the Beatles' "Rain" b/w "Burning Up Years" on the Island label in 1969. This was followed by two albums released by Warner Bros in 1970: Hard Meat and Through a Window. Their second single (culled from the latter album) was "The Ballad of Marmalade Emma and Teddy Grimes," based on the life of two well-known Colchester tramps. Despite tours of Europe and the U.S., neither album saw chart success, and the group disbanded shortly afterwards.
New Zealand band The Human Instinct covered "Burning Up Years" on their 1969 debut album of the same name.
