Crossroads Center is a shopping mall located in Waterloo, Iowa, United States. It was built in 1970 as one of the first malls in Iowa. The mall's sole anchor store is At Home. It has four vacant anchors formerly occupied by Sears, Dillard's, Gordmans, and Younkers. It is owned by Namdar Realty Group. It is located in the heart of a retail hub that includes a 12 screen theater, Best Buy, Super Target (opened 2000), Walmart, Barnes & Noble, Bed Bath & Beyond and many other national tenants. The mall is located near the interchange of Interstate 380 and U.S. Highway 20.

History
Crossroads Center Inc. announced plans for the mall in 1967, along with two other malls of the same name: one in St. Cloud, Minnesota and one in Fort Dodge, Iowa.

The Sears anchor store opened first, on March 24, 1969. The mall itself opened one year later, in March 1970, as both the only two-story mall and the first enclosed mall in Iowa. The JCPenney anchor store opened along with the mall, as did Black's department store. Black's became Donaldson's in 1978 and then Carson Pirie Scott in 1987. The store closed on September 30, 1989.

The upper level of the JCPenney anchor store was converted to a Herberger's anchor store in 1989. In 1991, Sears rented a 57,000 sq ft portion of its anchor store to become a Phar-Mor pharmacy. In 1993, 1/2 Price Store (later renamed Gordmans) took over that space. Herberger's was renamed Younkers in 1997. The mall was renovated in 1997 at a cost of $4 million. At the same time, Dillard's constructed a new 155,000 sq ft anchor store connected to the mall, at a cost of $20 million, rather than leasing space. The Dillard's anchor store opened on August 13, 1997. All 1/2 Price Store locations were renamed Gordmans in 2000.

On January 8, 2015, it was announced that JCPenney would close, as part of a plan to close 39 locations nationwide. At Home replaced the store in 2016. On January 4, 2018, it was announced that Sears would close, as part of a plan to close 103 stores nationwide. The store closed in April 2018. On April 18, 2018, Younkers parent company, the Bon-Ton, announced they would be completely liquidating and closing all stores including the one at Crossroads. The store closed on August 29, 2018. On May 11, 2020, Gordmans announced that it would be closing as the parent company is also going out of business. Just eight days later, Dillard's announced that this location would close. This left At Home as the only traditional anchor store. On August 2, 2023, it was announced that At Home would be closing by November 2023, which will leave the mall with no anchors.

The Aurora Vehicle Association is a group of volunteers who are dedicated to achieving and demonstrating extreme efficiency in transport. Aurora was started in 1980 by building high-fuel-efficiency petrol-powered vehicles. Between 1983 and 1985 Aurora held the world record for fuel economy at 1808 km per litre (5107 miles per imperial gallon). In 1987, when Hans Tholstrup devised the first trans-Australian World Solar Challenge, Aurora turned to solar car development and has been a contestant in every World Solar Challenge and has achieved 1 win, 4 second places, 1 third place, 1 fifth place, 1 sixth place and 1 crash.

Aurora is a non-profit group which is sustained by corporate sponsorship from companies such as CSIRO, Mazda and Sumitomo (amongst many others).

At various points in its history, Aurora has also been associated with some of Australia's leading universities such as UNSW, University of Technology, Sydney, University of Melbourne and RMIT.

Cars 

Aurora have constructed several solar-powered cars and are now in their 4th generation of car designs.

Ford Model "S" - 1987

Christine - 1990

Aurora Q1 - 1993

Southern Aurora - 2000

Aurora 101 - 1996

The current flagship  is known as Aurora Evolution (Previously Aurora 101). The car weighs 120 kg without batteries or a driver and has attained speeds of 155 km/h. It is built around a triangular carbon fibre frame (with a circular cross section) with a single driven front wheel and two rear wheels. The car's body is attached to the frame at three points through springs and shock absorbers.

The car is extremely aerodynamic, with a drag coefficient of 0.1 and a frontal area of 0.76 square metres. The motor, which was developed as a joint effort between CSIRO, the University of Technology, Sydney and Aurora, weighs 15 kg and has a continuous operating power of 1.8 kW.

The car's power comes from its solar array, which covers a majority of the upper half of its body. There is a total of 5.98 square metres of silicon solar cells, which originally provided up to 1250 W but now provides closer to 1200 W due to degradation.
In full racing trim (as per the World Solar Challenge rules) the car weighs 240 kg with its batteries and driver.

Aurora 101 finished second in the 2003 WSC race

Aurora 101 finished 3rd in the 2007 WSC race.

 Fastest lap at Hidden Valley Racetrack, Darwin Average speed 91.83 km/h.
 Fastest lap at Suzuka Racetrack Average speed 93.08 km/h.
 Distance covered in 24 hours non-stop record 1590 km.

Jean-Baptiste Lestiboudois (30 January 1715, Douai – 20 March 1804, Lille) was a French botanist and pharmacist. His son François Joseph Lestiboudois (1759-1815) and grandson Gaspard Thémistocle Lestiboudois (1797-1876) were also botanists.

Lestiboudois studied pharmacy at a local hospital in Douai and at the University of Douai. After receiving his license to practice medicine in 1739, he relocated to the city of Lille. During the same year, Lestiboudois was appointed chief pharmacist of the French army. From 1758, he served as an apothecary at the army headquarters of Bas-Rhin, during which time Lestiboudois studied plants that occurred in the vicinity of Cologne and Braunschweig.

In 1770 he was appointed professor of botany by the magistrate of Lille, and from 1796 served as a professor of natural history at the École centrale du département du Nord à Lille. As a professor he trained naturalist Palisot de Beauvois as a postgraduate.

Along with Pierre Riquet, Lestiboudois was editor of Pharmacopoeia, jussu Senatus insulensis tertiary edita. In 1774, he issued Carte de botanique, a botanical chart that combined the system of Joseph Pitton de Tournefort with that of Carl Linnaeus.

James Fahey (16 April 1804 – 11 December 1885) was an English landscape painter.

Life and work
Fahey was born at Paddington, then a village near London, and at first studied engraving under his uncle, John Swaine. Afterwards he became a pupil of George Scharf, and then went to Paris, where he studied from life, making full-size drawings of dissections, which he reproduced on stone for the use of anatomical students. His earliest exhibited work, a "Portrait of a young Gentleman", appeared at the Royal Academy in 1825, and was followed in 1827 by drawings of the church of St. Jacques at Dieppe and the cathedral of Notre-Dame at Paris. Between this time and 1836 he contributed several portraits and landscapes in water-colours to the exhibitions of the Royal Academy, the British Institution, and the Society of British Artists.

Meanwhile, the beauties of English scenery led him by degrees to devote himself exclusively to landscape painting, and in 1834 he joined the Associated Painters in Water-Colours, out of which was formed in 1835 the New Society of Painters in Water-Colours (now the Royal Institute of Painters in Water-Colours). Its first three exhibitions were held in Exeter Hall, London, until in 1838 it moved to Pall Mall, when Fahey became its secretary. This office he held until 1874, and discharged its duties with much tact and devotion. His works, mostly landscape compositions, in which he introduced figures and groups, were seldom absent from its exhibitions, and his official services were long given without any remuneration. In 1853, 1855, and 1857 he again sent landscape drawings to the Royal Academy, and in 1856 he was appointed drawing-master at the Merchant Taylors' School, from which post he retired with a pension after twenty-seven years' service. He also painted occasionally in oil, and exhibited two pictures at the British Institution in 1861 and 1862.

Fahey died at The Grange, Shepherd's Bush Green, London. His son, Edward Henry Fahey (1844–1907), was well known as a painter in water-colours.

Boy with Beer is a play in three acts written by Paul Boakye and first performed at the Man in the Moon Theatre in January 1992. The play takes place over three nights each separated by one month. Boy with Beer is published by Methuen Drama in Black Plays 3 edited by Yvonne Brewster (1995).

Synopsis
Boy with Beer is the story of a growing love affair between two black men, fraught with prejudice and the pressures of machismo.  Upwardly mobile Ghanaian photographer, Karl, is the older man in search of his "African Prince." What he finds is Donovan, a confused twenty-one-year-old Caribbean van driver he met in a heterosexual nightclub. The two men exchange telephone numbers and agree to meet.
The play opens as Donovan shows up outside Karl's flat the next night.

Boakye covers a good deal of this affair from the first unromantic, unprotected coupling to a semblance of understanding and shared brotherhood one month later, followed by a final admission of love and acceptance between the two men albeit under the shadow of HIV/AIDS.
In the final act, Donovan's pregnant girlfriend has discovered that she is HIV-positive. She has decided to terminate their child. Donovan turns up at Karl's home in tears. As the poetry writing, thoughtful sort, what should Karl do? He is in love with this confused, inarticulate homeboy, and Donovan, too, finally accepts his sexuality and that he has liked Karl from the start. He is indeed "a big black battyman…in love with big black men."

Wompatuck (ca. 1627 - 1669), also spelled Wampatuck, was sachem, or paramount chief, of the Mattakeesett band of Massachusett Indians.

Names 
Wompatuck was also known as Wampatuck, Josias Wampatuck, and Josiah Sagamore. Wampatuck translates to mean "snow goose" in the Wampanoag language.

Family 
Wampatuck's father was the sachem Chikataubut. After Chikataubut died of smallpox in 1633, Wompatuck's uncle, Cutshamekin succeeded as sachem and helped to raise Wompatuck.

Career 
After Cutshamekin died around 1655, Wompatuck succeeded him and likewise became an early Native American ally of British colonists. Like his father and uncle, he sold the British colonists the land upon which the city of Boston, Massachusetts, was established in 1629 and other surrounding towns were established.

After a harsh attack on his tribe by the Haudenosaunee (or Iroquois) in 1665, Wompatuck organized a great retaliatory expedition, involving several Massachusett tribes with 600 or 700 warriors, against Mohawk's capital, Gandaouaguè. Returning to Massachusetts, his column was ambushed and he was slain in 1669 when he led a force of his warriors in an attack upon the Mohawks. Wompatuck's son, Charles Josias Wampatuck, became sachem after his death.

Namesakes
Two United States Navy ships – the armed tug , in commission from 1898 to 1931, and the harbor tug , later YTB-337, in commission from 1942 to 1946 – have been named for Wompatuck.

Wompatuck State Park located in Hingham, Massachusetts is also named after Wompatuck.
