# Nehemiah Magee House

Nehemiah Magee House, located southwest of Mt. Hermon, Louisiana, is a historic house built around 1810 and expanded in the mid-19th century. Initially, as one-room log cabin, it evolved into a large farmhouse and is one of the few remaining log structures of its age in the region.
The house is significant as the home of Nehemiah Magee, a prominent local politician and participant in the 1861 Louisiana secession convention. It has remained in the Magee family, retaining historical features despite alterations. The house's evolution from a simple log cabin to a larger farmhouse showcases the architectural development in the area during the early 19th century.
# Nelson F. Beckwith House

The Nelson F. Beckwith House is a historic house located at 179 East Huron Street in Berlin, Wisconsin, United States. It was added to the State Register of Historic Places and the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
Nelson F. Beckwith was a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly and also owned the Beckwith House Hotel.
Home of the Llewellyn J. Walker family from 1944, this Italianate house has 12 foot ceilings, front and back stairs, and bonus rooms over the kitchen. A two-story center entrance hall with curving staircase opens on one side to a large dining room with bay and on the other side to a 35 foot long living room, with a bay deep enough for couches and table. Both rooms have marble fireplaces surmounted by large mirrors and every room is ringed with deep cove moldings. The windows are floor to ceiling French doors which open in. Next to the living room is a library with built in bookshelves and desk, and behind the dining room are the large eat-in kitchen, a play room or home office, a back hall, and a powder room. Upstairs are three very large bedrooms and a bathroom which opens into a back hall and two rooms for storage space or bedrooms. In earlier years, these were maids’ rooms. Off them, there is a back stairway. From the street, one can see the cupola and widow's walk. The curving front drive is brick, and the house is partially surrounded by a brick and wrought iron fence. The cement back driveway ends at the double garage. Described as “one of the most imposing houses in the city” in “Early Houses In Berlin, Wisconsin and the People who Lived in Them ” by Lu Gillette published in 1976, this property Is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Built by an early settler of what was then “Strong’s Landing” in 1857 in the Italianate style, the house sits on a double wide lot next to the public park on Huron Street in the city of Berlin, Green Lake County, Wisconsin. Berlin is not only an historic town on the Fox River which was part of the passageway from Green Bay to the Mississippi River followed by explorers such as Marquette and Joliet, but this area was also home to the Mascoutin tribe of Native Americans.
Llewellyn Walker founded the Walker Agency, an independent insurance agency in Berlin in 1940. His son, Jeffrey William Walker took over when Llewellyn retired, and in 2018 the agency was headed by Jeff's son, Gregory William Walker in partnership with his son, Matthew. Llewellyn and Virginia's daughter, Diana Walker Nelson was a member of the Illinois House of Representatives from 1970 - 74.

# Takahito Nomura

Takahito Nomura (野村 貴仁, born January 10, 1969) is a former Japanese professional baseball pitcher. He played for the Orix BlueWave, Yomiuri Giants, and Nippon-Ham Fighters of Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB), the Milwaukee Brewers of Major League Baseball (MLB), and the Macoto Cobras of the Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL). Nomura played under the name Takaki Nomura from 2000 to 2003.
Nomura was one of the relief pitchers in the Pacific League during his early career, and his team won two championships (1995 and 1996) with his contributions from the bullpen. He was valued as a left-handed reliever, and was known for his wide curve. However, he was only effective for his first 7 seasons (1991–1997), and has gone downhill ever since.

## Biography

Nomura was drafted in the third round of the 1990 draft by the Orix BlueWave. He pitched well as a reliever, and recorded a 0.98 ERA pitching in 37 games in 1995, greatly contributing to his team's championship that year. He pitched over 50 games in 1996 and 1997, occasionally making saves.
He was traded to the Yomiuri Giants in exchange for Masao Kida in 1998, but could not continue his previous success. He pitched in 40 games in 2001, but his pitching remained inconsistent, and was released after the season.
He joined the Milwaukee Brewers in 2002, pitching in 21 games, and became the first player to wear the number 95 in the Majors, and the only one to do so until Trevor Rogers in 2020. He marked an 8.56 ERA, and was released again at the end of the season. He returned to Japan, signing with the Nippon-Ham Fighters, but only made 6 appearances. He joined the Macoto Cobras of the CPBL in 2004, making a single start.
After retiring, Nomura returned to his hometown of Kōchi.
# La Disperata

La Disperata was the name given to the group of bodyguards who protected Gabriele D'Annunzio. It was taken up in turn by a number of later squadre and fascist military units in Italy between 1921 and 1945.

## At Fiume

The origins of the name go back to the Fiume expedition of 1919. The writer Gabriele D'Annunzio seized control of the city, planning to unify it with the Kingdom of Italy, and creating the short-lived Italian Regency of Carnaro. Guido Keller formed a military corps from volunteers who has made their way to Fiume from Italy and had camped out in the city's shipyards. Keller experimented with his ideas of a new military order, making them march bare-chested and singing through the streets of the city. In the evenings they gathered at a restaurant called “La Torretta”, where they started hand grenade fights. This corps took the name La Disperata meaning “(the guard) of desperate men”, and became famous among the arditi and fascists for their fearlessness and the charisma of its leaders.

## Squadre

The first squadra to take the name was formed in Florence on 14 March 1921. It had twenty-one members.
   “So a squadra was launched at the head of which was placed an Arditi lieutenant, naturally one decorated for valour, with four former combatant officers, two Arditi sergeants, two others who had been at Fiume, three students, one employee and a commercial traveler, also was also a student in his spare time. We also thought about the name, and after much deliberation, we decided on “La Disperata”, in honour of D'Annunzio’s bodyguard. And the squadra, with its members and its team as a whole, with its members and its crazy name, was so popular that after a few days we could no longer hold back the press of people wanting to join and we had to let others in, choosing them one by one from among the daredevils.
The name was then taken up by squadre in other cities including Bari, Brescia, Caltanissetta, Cosenza, Genoa, Gorizia, Livorno, Lodi, Modena, Padua, Parma, Portici, Turin, Treviso and Venice. Foligno and Perugia adopted the variant La Disperatissima (“the most desperate”).

## Air force squadrons

The name La Disperata was adopted by the 83rd Squadron and the 15th Caproni Bomber Squadron of the Regia Aeronautica. The Caproni squadron took part in the Second Italo-Ethiopian War (1935-1936) under the command of Galeazzo Ciano.
# Packards Corner station

Packards Corner station (announced as Brighton Avenue/Packards Corner) is a light rail stop on the MBTA's Green Line B branch located at Packard's Corner—the intersection of Commonwealth Avenue and Brighton Avenue—in Allston, Boston, Massachusetts. The station is located in a median between the westbound travel lanes and frontage road of Commonwealth Avenue.

## History

The Green Line A branch formerly diverged just north of the platforms; its streetcars stopped at separate platforms on Brighton Avenue. The Brighton Avenue streetcar reservation was removed from July 1 to October 5, 1949, and the side platforms for the Watertown Line were replaced with an island platform. The A branch was closed on June 21, 1969, and replaced with the route 57 bus, though the trackage was retained for non-revenue moves to Watertown Yard. The line was finally abandoned in 1994; a several-hundred-foot stub track was left until the mid-2000s to temporarily store disabled trains. The switch and the last few feet of track were not disconnected until track work in 2014.
Packards Corner was not made accessible during the initial 2001–03 round of Green Line station renovations. In 2019, the MBTA listed Packards Corner as a "Tier I" accessibility priority. Track work in 2018–19, which included replacement of platform edges at several stops, triggered requirements for accessibility modifications at those stops. Design for Packards Corner and four other B Branch stops was 30% complete by December 2022. By November, construction was expected to begin at Packards Corner in spring 2024, ahead of other B Branch stations.
A design shown in March 2024 called for the platforms to be rebuilt at their current locations, with a new track crossing and crosswalk to the west sidewalk at the south end of the station. In May 2024, the Federal Transit Administration awarded the MBTA $67 million to construct accessible platforms at 14 B and C branch stops including Packards Corner. Additional stops were added to the B branch project in 2024. As of February 2025, the MBTA plans to advertise the $74 million design-build contract for bidding in May 2025. Construction is expected to take place from fall 2025 to mid-2027.

# Mad River and Lake Erie Railroad

The Mad River and Lake Erie Railroad was the second railroad to be built and operated in the U.S. state of Ohio (the Erie and Kalamazoo Railroad was first, beginning operations in Toledo during the Toledo War in 1836). It was also the first railroad company chartered west of the Allegheny Mountains.

## History

The railroad first broke ground in Sandusky, for construction on September 17, 1835 at the site which is currently Battery Park Marina.
On November 17, 1837, the MR&LE took delivery of its first steam locomotive, Sandusky, built by Rogers, Ketchum and Grosvenor of Paterson, New Jersey. Sandusky was also the first locomotive built by Rogers, Ketchum and Grosvenor, and the first to include features such as cast iron driving wheels and counterweights. The locomotive's transportation from New Jersey was overseen by Thomas Hogg. He was engineer for the locomotive for many years, and later became the railroad's chief mechanical engineer.
The MR&LE used a rail gauge of 4 ft 10 in (1,473 mm), a gauge that soon became known as "Ohio gauge".
At the time of the Sandusky's arrival, no track had been laid by the railroad. The locomotive was used to aid construction, and the first trains (passenger cars only) began running on the line on April 11, 1838, between Sandusky and Bellevue, Ohio.
Construction continued on the MR&LE, reaching Tiffin by 1841 and Kenton in 1846. The railroad was completed to Springfield in 1849. Over the next several decades, the Mad River and Lake Erie Railroad changed ownership at least four times. In 1892, it came under the control of the Big Four Railroad (Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago, and St. Louis Railroad), which itself became part of the New York Central Railroad. Most of the original MR&LE lines were abandoned by Penn Central at the advent of Conrail in 1976, if not earlier. However, a portion between Bellefontaine and Springfield continues in operation by RailAmerica's Indiana and Ohio Central Railroad.
Although most of the MR&LE lines that once ran through downtown Sandusky have been removed, tracks serving the Norfolk Southern coal docks located west of downtown still use a small portion of the original MR&LE right-of-way.
# Madera station (California High-Speed Rail)

Madera station is a proposed train station to serve Madera, California. It would be located near the intersection of Avenue 12 and Santa Fe Drive.
The Madera Amtrak station opened in 2010 as a replacement for the hundred-year old Storey station. The 2016 California High-Speed Rail Business Plan proposed a relocated Madera station in order to provide strong transit connectivity, potential for transit oriented development, good access to State Route 99 and the City of Madera, and connections between that system and Amtrak San Joaquins services. The station is being built by the San Joaquin Joint Powers Authority (instead of the California High-Speed Rail Authority, as is the case for other initial operating stations). Funding for the station was provided as part of the Valley Rail project in 2018. Work on station relocation is ongoing as of November 2019, as the San Joaquin Joint Powers Authority has entered into negotiations with CAHSR, Madera County, and the city of Madera. As of 2024, the new station is expected to open in 2025. San Joaquins are expected to cease services here once high-speed operations begin. The Joint Powers Authority would receive a further $54-million federal grant via the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law in 2024.
# Bud Hake

# Nanaimo Lakes

Nanaimo Lakes are a chain of four lakes composed of three natural—First, Second, and Third Lakes—and one man-made, dammed lake, Fourth Lake, on the upper Nanaimo River, on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada.

## Geography

The lakes are in a highland transitional area between the southern Vancouver Island Ranges and the Nanaimo Lowland.
The 1:50,000 topographic map quadrangle 92F1 Nanaimo Lakes, published by Natural Resources Canada, is centred on the lakes. Note that lake names do not appear on all online mapping services, and Third Lake, not listed by the Watershed Roundtable, but listed in a 1919 guide, and on the Natural Resources Canada map, may not appear on some maps at all. A lake with a dam at the north end, named "Fourth Lake", is also shown on the map. First Lake and Second Lake, at c. 210 metres above sea level, are connected by a short stream. Fourth Lake Dam is privately owned and impounds 38,000,000 cubic metres (1.3×10$^9$ cu ft) of water, used for a paper mill.
* First Lake 49°05′45″N 124°10′00″W﻿ / ﻿49.09583°N 124.16667°W﻿ / 49.09583; -124.16667﻿ (First Lake), natural, about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) long
* Second Lake 49°05′45″N 124°13′00″W﻿ / ﻿49.09583°N 124.21667°W﻿ / 49.09583; -124.21667﻿ (Second Lake), natural, about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) long
* Third Lake 49°05′10″N 124°19′12″W﻿ / ﻿49.08611°N 124.32000°W﻿ / 49.08611; -124.32000﻿ (Third Lake), natural, much smaller than the others
* Fourth Lake 49°03′31″N 124°25′12″W﻿ / ﻿49.05861°N 124.42000°W﻿ / 49.05861; -124.42000﻿ (Fourth Lake), a reservoir, about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) long and 2 km$^2$ in area

## Parks and recreation

Timberwest owns four campsites on private land surrounding First Lake. The lake was stocked with up to 30,000 salmon or trout per year for recreational fishing beginning in 1905 through the early 21st century. Fourth Lake can be kayaked.

## Nanaimo Lakes fire balloon

In March, 1945, a Fu-Go balloon bomb made in Yamaguchi Prefecture and launched from Japan landed at the lakes. Its firing circuits malfunctioned; it failed to detonate and was recovered and analyzed by a Canadian–American intelligence effort.
