# John Heck House

The John Heck House, also known as the Hauer Residence, is a historic residence in Lockport, Illinois.

## History

John Heck was a Canadian businessman who immigrated in 1838. John Heck was brought to Lockport to oversee the building of the I & M Canal. He mostly provided construction services, ranging from excavation to masonry. Heck purchased a tract of land for $9,000 in 1866; he likely organized the construction himself. His home was constructed from locally quarried limestone. It was constructed in the Greek Revival style, likely influenced by immigrants from New York City who first came to work on the canal. The house also prominently features Italianate details, which were mostly added in a remodeling in the 1870s. Heck died in 1890 and is buried in a local cemetery in Lockport at St. Joseph Church.
The residence passed to his niece, Georgina Alice Heck, who may have provided live-in support to John in his later years. Georgina sold the residence only three months later. It served as a boarding house in the 1920s, and was converted to an apartment building in the 1940s. The apartment rooms were later removed, and the house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 16, 1994, by Jon Rawson. Since 1994, the home was sold to a Couple who turned it into a Bed & Breakfast, "The Liberty Inn" which was sold 3 years later to the Lindemann family.

## Architecture

The two-story house was built with locally quarried limestone. It is representative of the Greek Revival and Italianate styles. It was originally a square, but has since had two additions. The first addition was to the south side in the late 1860s, shortly after construction. A wood-frame addition, now covered in modern siding, was added to the rear (west) in 1946.

# 2013 Mexico train accident

The 2013 Mexico train accident occurred on August 25, 2013 after the freight train "La Bestia", with 300 passengers on board, was derailed in Huimanguillo, Tabasco. The accident killed 12 people and another 22 were injured, 16 of them were in grave condition.

## Background

The freight train, transporting corn, cement, and minerals from Arriaga to Lechería railway station was known to have carried 400,000 to 500,000 illegal migrants from Central America heading to the United States, as boarding the train allowed migrants to avoid Mexican immigration checkpoints and detention centers.

## Accident

The freight train derailed around 3:00 am on Sunday, as 8 of the 12 cars were overturned.

## Aftermath

Ambulances were unable to reach the area due to the difficult terrain. At least 12 were confirmed dead by the end of August after the removal of the train remnants. The cause of the accident is believed to be caused by the shifted tracks caused by the hard rain.
In 2014, train operators have banned passengers from traveling on the train.

# Fuji Five Lakes

Fuji Five Lakes (富士五湖, Fuji-goko) is the name of the area located at the base of Mount Fuji in the Yamanashi Prefecture of Japan. It has a population of about 100,000 and sits about 1,000 meters (3,300 ft) above sea level. The five lakes created in the area by previous eruptions of Mount Fuji has given the area its name. The principal city in the region, Fujiyoshida, has a population of roughly 54,000 and is particularly famous for its udon noodles. Another point of interest is Aokigahara Jukai Forest. The Fuji Five Lakes was selected by the Tokyo Nichi Nichi Shimbun and Osaka Mainichi Shimbun as one of the Twenty-Five Winning Sites of Japan in 1927.

## Lakes of the Fuji Five Lakes

The five lakes are located in an arc around the northern half of Mount Fuji. In ancient times, lava flow from a volcanic eruption of Mount Fuji spread across the area, damming up rivers and resulting in the formation of these lakes. They are all considered excellent tourist attractions and fishing spots.

### Lake Kawaguchi

Lake Kawaguchi (河口湖 Kawaguchi-ko) is the most famous of the five lakes, and images of this lake are usually used in posters and commercials for the Fuji Five Lakes area. A large number of hotels line its banks, as do locals providing boat rides to the tourists. It is the only lake in the Fuji Five Lakes area that has an island. Many local cultural events are held near this lake throughout the year.

### Lake Motosu

Lake Motosu (本栖湖 Motosu-ko) is the ninth deepest lake of Japan, at 140 meters (460 ft). This lake, along with Lake Sai and Lake Shōji, was formed by lava flowing across what is now Aokigahara Jukai Forest and into the enormous lake that once dominated the area, and these three lakes remain still connected by underground waterways.

### Lake Sai

The western side of Sai (西湖 Sai-ko) shares its banks with the infamous Aokigahara Jukai Forest.

### Lake Shōji

Lake Shōji (精進湖 Shōji-ko) is the smallest of the five lakes. Remnants of lava flow still jut out of the water. Locals usually fish from these rocks.

### Lake Yamanaka

The easternmost and largest of the five lakes, Lake Yamanaka (山中湖 Yamanaka-ko) is also the third highest lake in Japan, standing at 980 meters (3,220 ft) above sea level.

## Tourism industry

Most of the capital coming into the area comes from the tourism industry. Approximately 100,000,000,000 yen is spent by 9,000,000 sightseers every year. The main attractions of the area include:
* Mount Fuji
* Onsens
* Fuji-Q Highland – an amusement park featuring one of the world's highest roller coasters.
* The lakes – sightseeing, sailing, and fishing.
* Hiking and mountain climbing.
* Village of Healing (いやしの里 iyashinosato)– a historically accurate, rebuilt Japanese village.

# 1997 Jabalpur earthquake

The 1997 Jabalpur earthquake occurred on May 22, at 04:21:31 AM in Jabalpur District in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. The epicenter of the earthquake was located near Koshamghat village. According to geologist Dr V. Subramanyan, former professor at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay), the earthquake was caused by movement on the Narmada Fault.

## Damage and casualties

Major damage occurred to structures in the Jabalpur District, Mandla District, Seoni District and Chhindwara District in Madhya Pradesh. Jabalpur and Mandla were the worst affected districts. A total of 887 villages were affected. Approximately 8,546 houses collapsed and nearly 52,690 houses were partially damaged. Some aftershock activity occurred, but they did not cause any additional damage. Longitudinal ground cracks were observed in some locations of the affected area.
The affected region consisted of both rural and urban areas and the campus of the Jawaharlal Nehru Agricultural University was the worst affected structure in the urban area. Diagonal cracks occurred in walls, buildings were partially collapsed and the hostel for postgraduate students was severely damaged. Approximately 1,500 houses owned by the Indian Railways were damaged. In Jabalpur, a 500,000 gallon-capacity shaft-supported water tank for storage and distribution of drinking water sustained both horizontal cracking and diagonal cracking. Some earthen dams located in the districts of Jabalpur and Mandla reportedly developed longitudinal cracks.

## Relief efforts

The search and rescue operation after the earthquake was relatively small. Only raw materials for food were supplied to the victims rather than cooked food because of the summer heat. The Indian Army was called in to aid. Many people were given cloth tents as temporary shelters. In rural areas persons whose houses had collapsed were provided with 18 wooden posts and 50 wooden purlins for reconstruction and cash assistance of 3,000 rupees. MPs belonging to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) decided to donate their one day's salary to the victims.
# Rotary switch

A rotary switch is a switch operated by rotation. These are often chosen when more than 2 positions are needed, such as a three-speed fan or a CB radio with multiple frequencies of reception or "channels".
A rotary switch consists of a spindle or "rotor" that has a contact arm or "spoke" which projects from its surface like a cam. It has an array of terminals, arranged in a circle around the rotor, each of which serves as a contact for the "spoke" through which any one of a number of different electrical circuits can be connected to the rotor. The switch is layered to allow the use of multiple poles; each layer is equivalent to one pole. Alternatively the rotation can be limited to a fraction (half; third etc.) of a circle and then each layer can have multiple (two; three etc.) poles. Usually, such a switch has a detent mechanism so it "clicks" from one active position to another rather than stalls in an intermediate position. Thus a rotary switch provides greater pole and throw capabilities than simpler switches do.
Rotary switches were used as channel selectors on television receivers until the early 1970s, as range selectors on electrical metering equipment, as band selectors on multi-band radios, etc.
Modern rotary switches use a "star wheel" mechanism to provide the switching positions, such as at every 30, 45, 60, or 90 degrees. Nylon cams are then mounted behind this mechanism and spring-loaded electrical contacts slide around these cams. The cams are notched or cut where the contact should close to complete an electrical circuit.
Some rotary switches are user-configurable in relation to the number of positions. A special toothed washer that sits below the holding nut can be positioned so that the tooth is inserted into one of a number of slots in a way that limits the number of positions available for selection. For example, if only four positions are required on a twelve position switch, the washer can be positioned so that only four switching positions can be selected when in use.

# Damariscove Lifesaving Station

The Damariscove Lifesaving Station is a historic coastal maritime rescue facility, located on Damariscove Island in Boothbay, Maine. The station was built in 1897, and is one of the more architecturally distinguished of the surviving stations. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 25, 1987. It is now privately owned.

## Description

Damariscove Island is the southernmost of a chain of islands extending south from the Maine coast, defining the eastern side of Boothbay Harbor. It is roughly in the shape of an inverted Y, with a narrow channel between the legs of the Y. The Damariscove Lifesaving Station is located facing this channel on the western leg. It is an asymmetrically massed 1-1/2 story wood frame structure, its sections covered by hip roofs, with an octagonal observation tower at the southeast corner. The boathouse portion of the station extends east from the main block, with the bay doors facing north.

## History

The United States Life-Saving Service was established in 1874 by the United States government to provide marine rescue services along the nation's shores and waterways. Between then and 1929, the Service, and its successor the United States Coast Guard, built twelve stations on the Maine coast. This one was built in 1897, to design by the service's staff architect, Victor Mendelheff. It is distinguished from the other surviving stations in the state by its octagonal observation tower, and a generally more sophisticated architectural style. The station was manned by the Service and later the Coast Guard, until 1959. The station is now privately owned.
