# Lincoln station (Rock Island Line)

The Rock Island Depot in Lincoln, Nebraska is a historic railroad station which served passenger trains of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad (Rock Island Line) from 1893 to 1966. The station served trains including the Rock Island's Rocky Mountain Rocket (Chicago - Colorado Springs). When the Rocky Mountain Rocket was terminated on October 15, 1966, the Rock Island's passenger service was discontinued west of Omaha. Thus, Lincoln lost its passenger service at that time.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 3, 1971. The buildings are now occupied by a branch of Union Bank and Trust.
Most of Lincoln's former Rock Island Line trackage has been converted to rail trails.

# George Witt (baseball)

George Adrian "Red" Witt (November 9, 1931 – January 30, 2013), was an American professional baseball player, a right-handed pitcher who played all or part of six seasons in Major League Baseball (1957–62) with the Pittsburgh Pirates, Los Angeles Angels and Houston Colt .45s. The native of Long Beach, California, stood 6 feet 3 inches (1.91 m) tall and weighed 185 pounds (84 kg) during his playing career. He graduated from California State University, Long Beach.
Witt began his baseball career in 1950 as a member of the Brooklyn Dodgers' organization and was drafted by the Pirates from Brooklyn following the 1954 season. In 1957, he won 18 games (losing seven) for the top-level Hollywood Stars of the Pacific Coast League, then had notable back-to-back seasons for the Pirates in 1958–59. In 1958, he helped pitch Pittsburgh to a first division finish and the club's first winning season in a decade with a 9–2 record and a sparkling 1.61 earned run average in 18 games pitched and 15 starting assignments. He threw five complete games and three shutouts. But in 1959, hampered by a sore elbow, he worked in only 15 games and lost all of his seven decisions. He spent part of 1960 back in minor league baseball.
But he also appeared in ten games (with six starts) for the 1960 National League and World Series champion Pirates. He made three relief appearances in the World Series, which was marked by three lopsided New York Yankees victories and four close Pittsburgh triumphs. Witt appeared in the Yankee routs, Games 2, 3 and 6, and although he was not charged with allowing any runs in 22⁄3 innings pitched, he permitted four inherited baserunners to score. Witt played three more seasons, splitting 1961 and 1962 between minor league service and big-league trials with the Pirates, Angels and Colt .45s.
For his MLB career he compiled an 11–16 record with a 4.32 earned run average and 156 strikeouts in 66 appearances and 229 total innings pitched; he allowed 225 hits and 127 bases on balls, and recorded no shutouts or complete games after 1958.
Witt was a high school physical education instructor, a science teacher, and a baseball and tennis coach at Tustin High School in Tustin, California, as well as a former Foreign Study League group leader, where he led high school students through a number of European foreign capitals comparing different governmental systems.

# Kherson TV Tower

Kherson TV Tower (Ukrainian: Херсонська телевежа) was a 199 m (653 ft) tall steel space framed truss communications tower located in the Ukrainian city of Kherson. The building was uniquely built, having been built by using the cross bracing system. The tower was a truss TV tower, specifically, a Vierendeel truss tower, wherein a structure's members are not triangulated but form rectangular openings instead (see Vierendeel Truss). The tower had an antenna that measured 199.95 m (656 ft) and a roof that measured 189.89 m (623 ft). The tower possessed a total height of 200 m (656 ft), and was the tallest structure in the Kherson Oblast.
During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the tower was destroyed by retreating Russian forces on 10 November 2022.

## History

Although the exact date of the commencing of the tower's construction is unknown, construction of the Kherson TV Tower was begun in 1991 and finished after 14 years, to be exact, in 2005, in the city of Kherson, in Ukraine. During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the tower was destroyed by retreating Russian forces on 10 November 2022.

# Rigs of Rods

Rigs of Rods (Commonly referred to as ROR) is a free and open source vehicle-simulation game which uses soft-body physics to simulate the motion destruction and deformation of vehicles. The game uses a soft-body physics engine to simulate a network of interconnected nodes (forming the chassis and the wheels) and gives the ability to simulate deformable objects. With this engine, vehicles and their loads flex and deform as stresses are applied. Crashing into walls or terrain can permanently deform a vehicle until it is reset; however, not all vehicles in the game have flexible bodies.

## Simulation

Rigs of Rods was initially created as an off-road truck simulator, but has developed into a versatile physics sandbox game.
Prior to version 0.28, the game was limited to typical land vehicles with wheels, but plane and boat engines have been added since. All engines allow for a wide range of customization, leaving virtually no boundaries. Vehicles are built using vertices connected by beams. Vertices (or "nodes") are influenced by the stress on the beams that connect them. If a beam is too stressed, it will deform, thus altering the associated nodes position which ultimately alters the appearance and handling of a vehicle. Vehicle configurations are stored in plain text. Simple 2D skins can be made to wrap the vehicle, and can be supplemented with static mesh objects. Recent development has allowed for static meshes to be deformed according to a skeleton of nodes, much like the system in the game 1nsane. This system is known as Flexbody, and has been included since version .36.
The mapping system uses terrain data defined in a raw image file, such as that found in a digital elevation model which can be used to form a realistic surface. Terrains can be made using any other program that can generate a black and white raw image format. This also means that maps can be made from any image.
As a sandbox, Rigs of Rods has no fundamental gameplay goal, but scripting support contributes to missions and game play interaction like the timing of checkpoints along a road or dragstrips. Formerly, Lua was supported as the scripting language and engine, but it has now been replaced by AngelScript since version 0.38. Multiplayer support allows 64 users to simultaneously interact on a playing field.

## Critical reception

Physicist Brian Beckman described Rigs of Rods as "one of the best driving simulations I have ever seen." Rigs of Rods was featured in PC Gamer UK in the Christmas 2007 edition. French magazine MicroSim previewed Rigs of Rods in their June 2008 issue. Rigs of Rods author, Pierre-Michel Ricordel, was invited to talk about the game at the French convention, Libre Software Meeting on July 10, 2009.

## Proprietary adaptation

In 2011, some Rigs of Rods developers gathered to write a new proprietary video game called BeamNG.drive using the basics from what they had learned making Rigs of Rods, by 2015 BeamNG.drive was released as an Early access release.
# Chinese spirit possession

Chinese spirit possession is a practice performed by specialists called jitong (a type of shaman) in Chinese folk religion involving the channeling of Chinese deities who are invited to take control of the specialist's body, resulting in noticeable changes in body functions and behaviour. The most famous Chinese spirit possession practitioners took part in the Boxer Rebellion in the 1900s, when boxers claimed to be invulnerable to the cut of a sharp knife, bullets, and cannon fire.

## History

The State of Qi had shamans who claimed to be possessed by gods, and they were criticized as heterodox by Confucians. Movements by shamans practicing spiritual possession often led peasant rebellions against the ruling dynasty during Chinese history. The Boxer Rebellion was one of many peasant movements led by shamans who claimed to be possessed by spirits. For the Boxers during the Boxer Rebellion, spirit possession was used for protective purposes.
Larry Clinton Thompson, in his book "William Scott Ament and the Boxer Rebellion: Heroism, Hubris and the ”Ideal Missionary”, has a description of the spirit possession practiced by Chinese boxers:
   ... whirling and twirling of swords, violent prostrations, and chanting incantations to Taoist and Buddhist spirits. When the spirit possession had been achieved, the boxers would obtain invulnerability and superhuman skills with swords and lance.
Spiritual possession practitioners during the Boxer Rebellion and 20th century warfare claimed that once these incantations were chanted, Chinese deities would descend to offer protection, so that cannon fire or gunshots would not harm the human body.
# Battle of Vyborg Bay (1940)

The Battle of Vyborg Bay or Battle of Viipuri Bay (2–13 March 1940) was the culmination of the Soviet Union's second offensive and the last battle in the Winter War.

## The Battle

Though the Mannerheim Line had held for two months, following the Second Battle of Summa, Field Marshal Mannerheim had ordered an orderly withdrawal to the Finnish intermediate "V-Line". On 27 February, he then ordered a withdrawal to the "T-Line", which ran from Viipuri to Tali and onwards to the Vuoksi. According to Chew, "At the end of February sizeable units of the Red Army's reserve were mustered to form the 28th Infantry Corps, which was transferred to the Seventh Army with the mission of outflanking the Second Corps across the Gulf of Viipuri." Simultaneously, Soviet attacks would proceed from Suursaari and Lavansaari Islands. The ice within the bay had frozen to the extent that it could support heavy tanks, despite Finnish attempts to form cracks by sawing or detonating the ice. On 28 February, the commander of the Finnish Kannas Army Erik Heinrichs formed the Coastal Group, under Kurt Martti Wallenius, and then later Karl Lennart Oesch.
On the night of 3-4 March, the 28th Rifle Corps crossed the gulf and attacked the Vilaniemi and Häränpäänniemi Peninsulas. They were followed by the 10th Rifle Corps attacking east of Tervajoki. On 4 March, the Soviets advanced from Suursaari and Lavansaari Islands towards Virolahti and Kotka. On 5 March, the 28th Corps pierced the Vilaniemi Penninsula defenses, prompting Mannerheim to state, "...The last minutes are at hand." On 6 March that beachhead was widened to include the Häränpäänniemi Peninsula. On 7 March the 28th Corps cut the coastal highway east of Vilajoki.
The Finnish delegation finally accepted Molotov's peace conditions in Moscow on 12 March.$^{:204–205}$
# David Dolan (pianist)

David Dolan (born 25 November 1955) is a concert pianist, researcher and educator. He devotes an important part of his career to the revival of the art of classical improvisation. Professor of classical improvisation and its application on creativity in performance at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, he is Head of the Centre for Creative Performance and Classical Improvisation. He also teaches at the Yehudi Menuhin School following Lord Menuhin's invitation in 1989.

# Braddock Road (Braddock expedition)

The Braddock Road was a military road built in 1755 in what was then British America and is now the United States. It was the first improved road to cross the barrier of the successive ridgelines of the Appalachian Mountains. It was constructed by troops of Virginia militia and British regulars commanded by General Edward Braddock of the Coldstream Guards, part of an expedition to conquer the Ohio Country from the French at the beginning of the French and Indian War, the North American portion of the Seven Years' War. George Washington was an aide-de-camp to General Braddock (one of his favorites) who accompanied the expedition. The expedition gave him his first field military experience along with other American military officers. A number of these men would profit from this experience during the Revolutionary War.

## Construction

In 1755, Braddock was sent to remove the French from Fort Duquesne (Pittsburgh). Starting from Fort Cumberland, General Braddock ordered 600 men, commanded by Major Chapman and John St. Clair to cut a military road over Haystack Mountain. The road followed an Indian path known as Nemacolin's path which had been improved by George Washington and Christopher Gist for the Ohio Company. Chapman’s task was to build the road to Little Meadows, about 20 miles away.
After a day of road-building, Maj. Chapman's men had only built two miles of road and had destroyed three wagons trying to get over the treacherous terrain encountered on the mountain. Braddock was about to dispatch 300 more men to the road crew when he was informed, by Lt. Spendlow of the Navy detachment, of an easier route through the Narrows.
Braddock took approximately 1400 men, with accompanying wagons, along Spendlow's route and joined Chapman's road at Spendlow's Camp, in today's LaVale, Maryland.
Braddock met defeat east of Fort Duquesne and was fatally wounded. He was buried in the middle of the road he built, and his soldiers marched over the grave, with the hope of concealing the grave's location from the Indians. The grave was found years later by road workers and the grave was moved. The site is now marked by a marble monument erected in 1913.
The Forbes Expedition, a more successful British expedition mounted against Fort Duquesne in 1758, used a different route through the mountains west of Carlisle, Pennsylvania along what became known as Forbes' Road.
The Cumberland Road, which subsequently became part of the National Road and later U.S. Route 40, roughly parallel Braddock's Road between Cumberland, Maryland, and Chestnut Ridge near Uniontown.
In August 1908 and again during June and July 1909, John Kennedy Lacock, a Harvard professor originally from Amity, in Washington County, Pennsylvania, was able to identify the path of Braddock's march. He hired Ernest K. Weller to photograph the road. Lacock's commissioned photographs survive in the form of postcards, which he published in 1910, and his written account was published in the Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography in 1914. The road Lacock discovered was a road made by over 30 years of colonial settlers following Braddock's trail.
