# William C. Meffert

William C. Meffert (December 23, 1842 – March 21, 1918) was a German American immigrant, leatherworker, politician, and Wisconsin pioneer. He was a member of the Wisconsin State Senate, representing Iowa and Richland counties in 1882 and 1883. Earlier in life, he served as an enlisted volunteer in the Union Army throughout the American Civil War.

## Biography

William C. Meffert was born on December 23, 1842, in the town of Bad Ems, in what was then the Rhine Province in the Kingdom of Prussia. He emigrated to the United States with his parents in 1845. They came first to Milwaukee, then settled at Mineral Point, in the Wisconsin Territory. His father and sister died of cholera in 1852. The remainder of the family moved to Dodgeville, Wisconsin, in Iowa County, where William apprenticed as a leatherworker and saddlemaker.
At the outbreak of the American Civil War, he volunteered for service in the Union Army and was enrolled as a private in Company H of the 3rd Wisconsin Infantry Regiment. He was made the color-bearer for the regiment. The regiment was sent to the Eastern Theater of the war. With the regiment, he participated in the Shenandoah Valley campaign of 1862, the Battle of Antietam, and the Battle of Gettysburg. After Gettysburg, the regiment went to assist in quelling the New York City draft riots.
After New York, Meffert's three-year enlistment was set to expire and he re-enlisted as a veteran. The regiment joined the Atlanta Campaign of William Tecumseh Sherman, then participated in the March to the Sea and the Carolinas Campaign, ending the war occupying Raleigh, North Carolina.
After the war, Meffert wrote a short account of an incident at the Battle of Chancellorsville, where his company spontaneously charged a Confederate company without orders and captured it, but two of his friends were wounded in the process and ended up left on the battlefield for twelve days. The men were captured and re-united 25 years later in Wisconsin. Meffert also maintained an extensive diary through his war service, which was donated to the Wisconsin Historical Society after his death.
Meffert moved to Arena, Wisconsin, in 1867. In 1874, he became a part-owner of the newspaper the Arena Star and remained for two years. He was elected to the Wisconsin State Senate in 1881 and served in the 1882 and 1883 sessions of the Legislature. He was not a candidate for re-election in 1884.

# Cult (religious practice)

Cult is the care (Latin: cultus) owed to deities and their temples, shrines, or churches; cult is embodied in ritual and ceremony. Its presence or former presence is made concrete in temples, shrines and churches, and cult images, including votive offerings at votive sites.

## Etymology

Cicero defined religio as cultus deorum, "the cultivation of the gods". The "cultivation" necessary to maintain a specific deity was that god's cultus, "cult", and required "the knowledge of giving the gods their due" (scientia colendorum deorum). The noun cultus originates from the past participle of the verb colo, colere, colui, cultus, "to tend, take care of, cultivate", originally meaning "to dwell in, inhabit" and thus "to tend, cultivate land (ager); to practice agriculture", an activity fundamental to Roman identity even when Rome as a political center had become fully urbanized.
Cultus is often translated as "cult" without the negative connotations the word may have in English, or with the Old English word "worship", but it implies the necessity of active maintenance beyond passive adoration. Cultus was expected to matter to the gods as a demonstration of respect, honor, and reverence; it was an aspect of the contractual nature of Roman religion (see do ut des). Augustine of Hippo echoes Cicero's formulation when he declares, "religion is nothing other than the cultus of God."
The term "cult" first appeared in English in 1617, derived from the French culte, meaning "worship" which in turn originated from the Latin word cultus meaning "care, cultivation, worship". The meaning "devotion to a person or thing" is from 1829. Starting about 1920, "cult" acquired an additional six or more positive and negative definitions. In French, for example, sections in newspapers giving the schedule of worship for Catholic services are headed Culte Catholique, while the section giving the schedule of Protestant services is headed culte réformé.

## Outward religious practice

In the specific context of the Greek hero cult, Carla Antonaccio wrote:
   The term cult identifies a pattern of ritual behavior in connection with specific objects, within a framework of spatial and temporal coordinates. Rituals would include (but not necessarily be limited to) prayer, sacrifice, votive offerings, competitions, processions and construction of monuments. Some degree of recurrence in place and repetition over time of ritual action is necessary for a cult to be enacted, to be practiced.
In the Catholic Church, outward religious practice in cultus is the technical term for Roman Catholic devotions or veneration extended to a particular saint, not to the worship of God. Catholicism and the Eastern Orthodox Church make a major distinction between latria, the worship that is offered to God alone, and dulia, which is veneration offered to the saints, including the veneration of Mary, whose veneration is often referred to as hyperdulia.

# Loco moco

Loco moco is a dish featured in contemporary Hawaii cuisine. The traditional loco moco consists of white rice, topped with a hamburger patty and brown gravy, and finally a sunny-side up fried egg. These ingredients must exist in the dish to be named loco moco. No other egg variations are considered traditional and the stacking of the dish must be in the aforementioned order to be considered traditional. Variations to egg style, meats, and stacking alters the naming of the dish. Modern (non-traditional) presentations of the dish may include other toppings and side dishes such as grilled onions and macaroni or potato salad.

## History and origin

The dish was reportedly created at the Lincoln Grill restaurant in Hilo, Hawaii, in 1949 by its proprietors, Richard Inouye and his wife, Nancy, at the request of teenagers from the Lincoln Wreckers Sports club seeking something that differed from a sandwich, was inexpensive, and yet could be quickly prepared and served. They asked Nancy to put some rice in a bowl, a hamburger patty over the rice, and then top it with brown gravy. The egg came later. The teenagers named the dish Loco Moco after one of their members, George Okimoto, whose nickname was "Crazy” because of his crazy antics. George Takahashi, who was studying Spanish at Hilo High School, suggested using Loco, which is Spanish for crazy. They tacked on "moco" which "rhymed with loco and sounded good".

## Popularity

This dish was featured on the "Taste of Hawai'i" episode of Girl Meets Hawai'i, a Travel Channel show hosted by Samantha Brown. The episode features the dish being served at the popular restaurant, Hawaiian Style Cafe, in Waimea together with the plate lunch, another Hawaiian specialty dish.
The loco moco was also featured on a Honolulu-based episode of the Travel Channel show Man v. Food (this episode aired in the show's second season). The host, Adam Richman, tried the dish at the Hukilau Café, located in nearby Laie. Richman also tried an off-the-menu loco moco at a San Francisco eatery called Namu Gaji on his 2014 show, Man Finds Food. In 2018, on a different episode of the revived Man v. Food, host Casey Webb tried a loaded version of the loco moco at Da Kitchen in Maui.
Variations may include bacon, ham, Spam, tofu, kalua pork, Portuguese sausage, teriyaki beef, teriyaki chicken, mahi-mahi, shrimp, oysters, and other meats. However the traditional name designation of loco moco applies to hamburger patties only. When the protein changes, the name is also changed, i.e. spam loco, kalua loco, shrimp loco etc.
