# San Diego Reader

The San Diego Reader is an alternative press newspaper in San Diego County, California. Published weekly since October 1972, the Reader is distributed free on Wednesday and Thursday via street boxes and cooperating retail outlets.

## History

Founder Jim Holman, a navy veteran, worked for the Chicago Reader before starting up in San Diego. The initial press run of the San Diego Reader was 20,000 copies that cost $400 to print. In 1989, it was printing 131,000 copies a week and in 2015, the circulation was 90,000. In 1988, the Reader moved into a former restaurant in Little Italy and moved to offices in Golden Hill in 2012.
In a 1989 story about the paper, the Los Angeles Times wrote that it had developed a reputation as being "liberal", and contrasted that to Holman's morality-driven rules for the paper, such as refusing to publish advertisements promoting abortion services and prohibiting personal advertisements seeking homosexual relationships (later modified to prohibit all personal ads). He also runs the anti-abortion California Catholic Daily website from the same offices.
Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, 30 employees agreed to take pay cuts equivalent to half of their pay.
In February 2024, Jim Holman announced that the Reader has a new owner/editor Matt Lickona, who bought the paper for one dollar, and that print publication would be shutting down. The online version of the paper will continue.

# Lincoln Branch Peoria Public Library

The Lincoln Branch Peoria Public Library is a Carnegie library located at 1312 West Lincoln Avenue in Peoria, Illinois. Built in 1910, the building served as the first dedicated library building on Peoria's South Side. The South Side branch library opened in 1903 in a building called the Neighborhood House; however, it had outgrown its space in the building by 1909. The city petitioned the Carnegie Foundation for funding for a new library and the Foundation provided a $20,000 grant for the building. The city passed a $2,000 annual tax to cover the library's maintenance. Peoria architecture firm Hotchkiss & Harris supplied a Classical Revival design for the building, and construction began in 1910 and was completed the following year. The new building was dedicated on June 16, 1911.
The library became popular with neighborhood residents, setting city records for daily circulation; it also held special collections serving the city's Lebanese and German immigrant communities.
With $500,000 from the Plaedes Foundation, the Lincoln Branch was remodeled in 1993. In June 2009, the library was designed by the City of Peoria as a local historic landmark. The library was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 28, 2014. In 2014, the Peoria Historical Society awarded the library a Historic Preservation Award.
# Meshtastic

Meshtastic is a decentralized wireless off-grid mesh networking LoRa protocol. The main goal of the project is enabling low-power, long-range communication over unlicensed radio bands. It is designed around exchanging text messages and data in off-grid environments, with potential applications in IoT projects where a decentralized communication system is needed without existing infrastructure.
Meshtastic uses LoRa peer to peer (p2p), a long-range radio protocol, to form a mesh network by rebroadcasting messages to extend communication reach. Each device can connect with a single phone, enabling messaging in off-grid areas, making it useful for not only messages, but also data transmissions.

## Hardware

Meshtastic uses hardware development boards, like ESP32 and nRF52840, that support LoRa and BLE communication technologies, along with GNSS receivers. These devices enable seamless mobile app connectivity via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, allowing long-range message retransmission across a mesh network using LoRa transceivers. This setup is ideal for developing communicators that don't rely on conventional infrastructure.
Commercial purpose built Meshtastic boards and kits are available.
# Sandcrete

Sandcrete is a yellow-white building material made from a binder (typically Portland cement), sand in a ratio of circa 1:8, and water. Sometimes other ingredients may be added to reduce the amount of expensive Portland cement such as pozzolanas and rice husk ash. Sandcrete is similar but weaker than mortar, for which the ratio is circa 1:5. Soil cement and landcrete are similar materials but use other types of soil and hydraform blocks which are compressed, stabilized, earth blocks.
Sandcrete is usually used as hollow rectangular blocks similar to concrete masonry units, often 45 centimetres (18 in) wide, 15 centimetres (5.9 in) thick, and 30 centimetres (12 in) with hollows that run from top to bottom and occupy around one third of the volume of the block. The blocks are joined together with mortar.

## Strength and usage

The final compressive strength of sandcrete can be as high as 4.6 N/mm$^2$, which is much less than concrete's 40 N/mm$^2$. Sandcrete is unsuitable for load-bearing columns, and is mainly used for walls, or for foundations if no suitable alternative is available. As material for walls, its strength is less than that of fired clay bricks, but sandcrete is considerably cheaper.
Sandcrete is the main building material for walls of single-storey buildings (such as houses and schools) in countries such as Ghana and Nigeria.
Research has shown using organic ash to replace Portland cement, which is better than simply using less Portland cement.

## Coarse aggregate

Addition of coarse aggregates has been tried, since this is a cheap way to increase compressive strength, but since the cement content of sandcrete is small, so is the amount of water that is added to the sand/cement mix to cure it. Adding more solid materials makes the mix much less fluid, making it difficult to cast into blocks.

# David Gillette

David Gillette (March 20, 1946 – February 10, 2025) was an American paleontologist best known for his discovery of the dinosaur Diplodocus hallorum in 1985, and more recently for his work studying Pleistocene megafauna such as glyptodonts. At the time of its discovery, Diplodocus hallorum was the longest dinosaur known.

## Discoveries

Gillette found eight huge bones of the Diplodocus in northwestern New Mexico in May 1985. Gillette began comparing the dinosaur bones he found to those of other dinosaurs. Gillette presented his conclusions in a press conference at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science and in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology. He gave the new dinosaur the name Seismosaurus halli, or "earth shaker." In 1993, Gillette published his book, Seismosaurus: The Earth Shaker, about his discovery. It was published by Columbia University Press and illustrated by Mark Hallett. The book was re-printed in paperback in 1999.
Seismosaurus was later re-categorized as a new species of Diplodocus, and renamed Diplodocus hallorum: while the specimen Gillette described was indeed of a novel species, it belonged to the existing Diplodocus genus rather than a previously undiscovered group.

## Death

Gillette died on February 10, 2025, at the age of 78.
# Lincoln Homestead and Cemetery

Lincoln Homestead and Cemetery, also known as the Jacob Lincoln House, is a historic home and cemetery located near Broadway, Rockingham County, Virginia. It was built in two sections. The main section was built about 1800, and is a two-story, five-bay, brick structure with a side-gable roof. It features an elaborate wooden cornice with Wall-of-Troy molding, corbels and dentils, and a Federal style doorway. The two-story brick rear ell was built in 1849 and joined to the main house in the early-1900s. Located on the property is the Lincoln family cemetery in which are buried five generations of the family, as well as Queenie, a woman who was enslaved by the Lincoln family, and "Virginia John" Lincoln, great-grandfather of Abraham Lincoln.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
In November 2019, the house was purchased by Benjamin and Sarah Bixler after being vacant for 20 years. The new owners completed a combination of restoration and renovations on the house in 2021.
# Harewood and Beechwood

Harewood and Beechwood, also known as Woods School, are two historic homes which are located roughly four miles apart in Middletown Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
The school was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

## History and architectural features

Harewood was originally built as a farmhouse sometime around 1788. The original structure is located behind the main house that was erected in 1906. Harewood is an irregularly shaped, multi-level dwelling with a five-story main section, which has a broken-hipped roof and features Palladian windows.
Beechwood was built in 1853, and is a large 2+1⁄2-story, fieldstone dwelling with a gable roof. It has a two-story, stuccoed stone rear addition.
Both houses were built as country mansions and later acquired as a school for children with disabilities. Harewood was acquired in 1924 and Beechwood in 1944. Together, they became known as the Woods School.
This school was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

# Lincoln Theatre (Columbus, Ohio)

The Lincoln Theatre is a 582-seat performing arts venue located at 769 E. Long Street in the King-Lincoln Bronzeville neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio. The theater is owned by the City of Columbus under the auspices of the Lincoln Theatre Association. Operation of the facility is managed by CAPA. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.

## History

Opened on November 26, 1928 as the Ogden Theatre, the theater was developed by the local entrepreneur Al Jackson and designed by architect Carl Anderson. It fulfilled a then pressing need of the African-American community in Columbus for its own entertainment and cultural center. Designed in the Egyptian Revival style, it originally offered films along with live vaudeville and musical performers. The large ballroom was also used for social events. The theater was renamed the Lincoln in 1939 and continued operating as a movie theater through the 1960s. It also regularly presented musical artists including local star Nancy Wilson, Count Basie, and Cab Calloway.
Closed from the early 1970s, the Lincoln was the object of numerous unrealized restoration projects in the following decades. Finally, in 2007, the current Lincoln Theatre Association led a coalition of supporters including the City of Columbus, Mayor Michael B. Coleman, Franklin County, and local businesses to launch a thorough renovation of the theater. Combining restoration of the original Egyptian-themed decorative elements with completely modern facilities, seating and stage equipment, the renovated venue reopened to the public on May 25, 2009 with an open house. The first performance featured Broadway star Maurice Hines on May 28, 2009. Hines was also named Artistic Director in Residence for the year 2009.
The theater is operated by CAPA and is creating partnerships with ten local performing arts organizations to present a varied slate of events. One of these, the Columbus Jazz Arts Group will present concerts at the theater and it will also operate a Jazz Academy in a new facility on the upper floors of the Lincoln building. The Jazz Academy will offer music education and coaching sessions and informal performances. The Columbus Gay Men's Chorus also performs two shows there each season.
The Lincoln Theatre is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Its restoration and reopening are a key part of the City of Columbus's long-term plan to redevelop the historic King-Lincoln neighborhood.
# Kaveh Langeh

# Lincoln–Tallman House

The Lincoln–Tallman House is a historic Italianate-style house in Janesville, Wisconsin. Built and constructed in 1857 by the Tallman family, the house once hosted overnight guest Abraham Lincoln before he became U.S. president.

## History

William Tallman was a lawyer working in the East when he bought 4,476 acres (1,811 ha) of land in Wisconsin Territory in the late 1840s. He was also an abolitionist who had lectured against slavery out east and whose house in Rome, New York had been a station on the Underground Railroad.
Tallman moved his family to Janesville to keep a closer watch on his holdings. Local builder George Barnes began constructing the home in 1855 on a 3-acre (1.2 ha) bluff overlooking the Rock River on what was then the north edge of Janesville. It was designed in the Italianate style. High-quality materials included Cream City brick, cast iron on the windows and black walnut doors with hand-carved panels. It contained many modern conveniences of the time, such as central heating, gas piping installed for lights, running water, walk-in closets with built-in storage drawers and an indoor privy. The original cost was $33,000. Additional work finished in 1870 brought the total to $42,000. The 60 feet (18 m) house has six floors and 20 rooms.
Tallman continued to advocate the abolition of slavery after moving to Janesville. He may have established this house as a station on the Underground Railroad, but it's unclear if any escaped slaves ever passed through it. The Tallman family resided in the house from 1857 to 1915. They donated the house to the city in 1950 on the condition that it be operated as a public museum.
Lincoln visited Janesville October 1–3, 1859, a year before he was elected president. He had come to Rock County from Milwaukee, where he had spoken at the Wisconsin State Fair. William Tallman drove to Beloit to convince Lincoln to visit Janesville and stay at the Tallman house for the evening after a speech in Beloit. Lincoln then gave a speech in Janesville on Saturday, October 1, 1859. He left his boots outside his room at William Tallman's house at night, as was the custom, and didn't find them there in the morning. Because he was embarrassed to leave his room in stocking feet, he missed his train, so Tallman invited him to attend services at First Congregational Church with the family. Lincoln then stayed overnight and caught a train to Chicago on Monday, October 3, 1859. Lincoln's stay at the Tallman house is the only recorded time he stayed in a Wisconsin home.
The house was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1970. It received a Preservation Award from the Victorian Society in America in 1995. It is now owned by the city of Janesville. Operated by the Rock County Historical Society as a museum, it depicts upper class life in the latter half of the 19th century. More than 75% of its furnishings are original to the home.
# Lind Houses

The Lind Houses are a series of seven nearly identical houses on Pleasant Street in South Ryegate, Vermont. Built about 1905, they form one of the best-preserved examples of period worker housing in the state. They were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.

## Description and history

The Lind Houses are located on the south side of the village of South Ryegate, on the south side of Pleasant Street, a side street connecting Church Street with United States Route 302. The seven houses are all nearly identical free-standing 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structures, with front-facing gabled roofs and clapboarded exteriors. Each has a single-story hip-roof porch extending across the front, supported by bracketed Victorian turned posts, with square balusters. Their facades are three bays wide, with the main entrance in the left bay. A shedroof single-story ell extends to the rear of each house, which originally housed privies. The two houses at the eastern end of the row each have a small carriage barn attached to the rear of the ell.
The houses were built about 1905 by George E. Lind, specifically to provide housing to immigrant workers in the area's granite-related businesses. Lind had come to the United States from Germany in the 1851, and was known for his support of the working and living conditions of immigrants. It is notable that these houses were more substantial than Lind's own modest house, which stood nearby. Lind died in 1909, and ownership of the houses was taken over by the owners of the South Ryegate Granite Works. They have since then gone through a succession of landlords, and were rehabilitated in the 1980s after a period of decline in the 1960s.
