Jesse Stuart Memorial Bridge

The Jesse Stuart Memorial Bridge is a viaduct bridge on top of the Greenup Lock and Dam on the Ohio River.  The bridge, named after author and Greenup County, Kentucky native Jesse Stuart, was completed in 1984 and carries Kentucky Route 10 (unsigned) from the AA Highway/U.S. Route 23 intersection to the bridge itself, where it becomes State Route 253 to U.S. Route 52. The Ohio approach has a ramp to a rest area operated by the Ohio Department of Transportation. There is also a park on the Kentucky side of the bridge, which is open for fishing and recreation.  This park is operated by the United States Army Corps of Engineers. Both facilities, and the bridge itself, were briefly closed after the September 11 attacks due to terrorism concerns since they are all part of the Greenup Locks and Dam complex. They have since reopened; however, access to the observation platforms on both sides of the dam is no longer permitted.

Here's to You, Rachel Robinson

Here's to You, Rachel Robinson is a 1993 young adult novel by Judy Blume, the sequel to Just as Long as We're Together. It is an allusion to the Simon and Garfunkel song, "Mrs. Robinson".

Plot
This book is written from the perspective of Rachel Robinson, who is thirteen years old and the youngest child of three. She is regarded as an overachiever and perfectionist, but explains throughout the book that she finds it difficult being intellectually gifted, and uses her perfectionist behaviours as a coping mechanism to deal with problems with her family and with her insecurities regarding her friendships. 

Her immediate family consists of her mother Nell, a high-achieving lawyer and later judge, her father Victor, a teacher with a gentle nature, her older sister Jessica, who suffers with cystic acne and the discrimination that comes with it, and her older brother Charles, who was expelled from boarding school and makes their lives a misery. Rachel feels Charles gets all the attention in her family, even if it is negative, and that he is driving their parents to the breaking point. She also resents that her brother gets so much attention from teenage girls, especially her friends, Stephanie and Alison. 

In the book, Rachel like women has to deal with her crush on Charles's tutor, Paul Medeiros (who ends up dating their cousin Tarren), her worries that Stephanie and Alison prefer each other to her, her frequent invitations to join high-achieving school societies, and the fact that the best-looking boy in ninth grade (at least, to Stephanie, Alison, and Rachel), Jeremy "Dragon" Kravitz, may be interested in her. Through family counseling and a trip to Ellis Island, the Robinson family begin to learn how to put aside their differences and become a closer family.

Allusions and references to other works

The novel's title is a reference to the Simon and Garfunkel song "Mrs. Robinson"; specifically the lines:
"And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson,
Jesus loves you more than you will know"
Judy Blume has stated on her website that she "had a terrible time coming up with a title for Rachel's story and I'm not happy with the one I finally chose which comes from a line in the book spoken angrily by Charles".

Reception
Here's to You, Rachel Robinson was received positively by critics. Publishers Weekly and Kirkus Reviews praised the character dynamics and dialogue as "complex" yet "credible."

Memorial Bridge (Parkersburg, West Virginia)

The Memorial Bridge, locally known as the toll bridge, crosses the Ohio River connecting Belpre, Ohio and Parkersburg, West Virginia. The bridge is an alternate route to access U.S. Route 50 in Ohio from central Parkersburg.

While some internal WVDOT documents refer to the bridge as West Virginia Route 140, the number is not signed nor shown on state-issued maps.

The bridge was completed , and is of a steel through truss design, a combination of two camelback-Warren through trusses, and a 3-span cantilevered Warren through truss.  It accommodates two lanes of traffic, one in either direction.

This bridge used to have a toll for passenger cars of $0.50; travelers also used to purchase tickets to reduce the toll from $0.50 to $0.40 per trip when $2.00 worth was purchased.  There were no automatic lanes and E-ZPass was not accepted. As part of the rehabilitation work on the bridge in 2022–23, the toll equipment has been replaced with an electronic tolling gantry that will accept E-ZPass.

As of August 18, 2022, the bridge has been closed to all traffic indefinitely while a project to make improvements to the bridge is underway. Previously the bridge was reduced to one way traffic, but many vehicles were violating this by going around barriers which prompted the bridge partners to close it for safety of workers. As of August 31, 2023, the bridge has been reopened to all traffic.

Samuel Sarphati

Samuel Sarphati (31 January 1813 – 23 June 1866) was a Dutch physician and Amsterdam city planner.

Biography 
Sarphati's ancestors were Spanish and Portuguese Jews who arrived in the Netherlands in the 17th century. Though middle-class, his parents were able to let him attend a Latin school. At the age of 20, Sarphati started studying medicine in Leiden, which he finished with a promotion in 1839.

During his work thereafter as a doctor in Amsterdam (he lived at the house #598 Herengracht), Sarphati encountered the bad hygiene among the poor in Amsterdam. His compassion for his patients led him to initiate several projects to improve the quality of life in the city and the health of its inhabitants. This included a bread factory producing wholesome, affordable bread, and a refuse collection service.

Sarphati played an important role in the initiation of waste transport in 1847. He became involved in politics, particularly as a project developer in city planning. Beside public health, he initiated improvements in education and industrialization. He wanted to enhance Amsterdam's dignity and standing by constructing impressive buildings like the Amstel Hotel and the Paleis voor Volksvlijt.

After his death, Sarphatipark in Amsterdam was designed and named after him in 1885.

The Sarphati Sanitation Awards have been named in his honour.

Nth Degree (song)

"Nth Degree" is a song by New York City band Morningwood from its debut album Morningwood. "Nth Degree" reached No. 30 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. The song was used in a Mercury vehicles ad campaign that featured actress Jill Wagner. It was also included on the soundtrack for the video game Thrillville: Off the Rails.

Music video
The video opens with a person browsing through some records. Each record shows the band on sets and in costumes carefully calculated to reference and parody about 16 other famous album covers or music videos from 20th century popular music.  The album Morningwood is selected and begins playing on a record player just as the video ends.

Albums in the music video
The music video parodies numerous musical styles. They are these:
Nth Degree: by Morningwood, is black-and-white and features a hand playing a bass guitar.
Chantal! Sing!: features lead singer Chantal Claret in purple on a black background.
Saturday Morningwood: features a disco theme with Chantal in roller skates, and parodies the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.
Smell the Wood: by Morningwood, features the band as glam rockers.  The name "Smell The Wood" is a reference to the fictitious band, Spinal Tap from the movie This Is Spinal Tap, where their album was titled, "Smell The Glove."
 "MW" has the logo and four picture layout of Van Halen (album).
Morningwood features the band as they appear on the real Morningwood album.
Old Country Morning features the band as country musicians.
Mengde Uendelighets: (Not Norwegian for Nth Degree): by T Mérnving Wüd§ ( Not Norwegian for Morningwood), features the band in matching red and yellow outfits on a green background, possibly a parody of this Country Church album or more likely the many earnestly leisure-suited Nordic album covers of the disco era.
Degré d'Infinite: (French for Infinite Degree): by Le Bois de Matin (French for Morningwood).
Mourning, credited to "The Woods."
The Nth Degree: by Morningjerks, features the band as punk rockers in front of a graffiti-covered brick wall; this is an homage to the cover of the Ramones' eponymous album.

Rippity Dippity Rap: by Positive Pedro, parodies Devastatin' Dave's Zip Zap Rap.
Unbegrenztheit Grad (German for Nth Degree): by Morgenholz (literal translation into German for morning wood), parodies Kraftwerk's The Man-Machine in style and Devo's Freedom of Choice in layout.
Stacks of Cash: by Moneywood, parodies 90's hip hop, particularly the Pen & Pixel-style album covers featuring artists superimposed over symbols of largesse.
Working Out! with Morningwood: features the band in aerobics attire, parodies Olivia Newton-John's "Physical".

V399 Carinae

V399 Carinae (V399 Car, P Carinae, P Car, 195 G. Carinae) is a variable star in the constellation Carina.

The spectral type of V399 Carinae has been variously assigned between A5 and F0, being a bright, luminous supergiant. Its spectrum is described as having a non-photospheric continuum and silicon absorption lines, indicative of high mass loss.

V399 Carinae has long been suspected to be variable.  A 1981 study of yellow supergiants fit observations to a Cepheid-like light curve with a period of 58.8 days, although the luminosity and spectral type do not place the star near the Cepheid instability strip.  It was listed in the General Catalogue of Variable Stars as a possible δ Cep variable.  Further observations refined the period to 47.25 days.  The Hipparcos catalogue classified V399 Car as a semiregular variable with a period of 88 days and a mean amplitude of only 0.04 magnitudes.  An automated classification from Hipparos photometry suggested it is an α Cygni variable.  The observed brightness varies from magnitude +4.63 to +4.72.

V399 Carinae lies amongst the stars of the open cluster IC 2581, by far the brightest member of the cluster.  It is about 7,500 light years from Earth assuming it is a member of IC 2581, which is given a 62.9% probability.

Camp Sorghum

Camp Sorghum was a Confederate States Army prisoner of war camp located in Columbia, South Carolina during the American Civil War.

Established in late 1864 as a makeshift prison for approximately 1,400 Union officers, Camp Sorghum consisted of a  tract of open field, without walls, fences, buildings, or any other facilities. A "deadline" (boundary line) was established by laying wood planks  inside the camp's boundaries.

Rations consisted of cornmeal and sorghum syrup as the main staples in the diet; thus the camp became known as "Camp Sorghum". Due to the lack of any security features, escapes were common. Conditions were terrible, with little food, clothing, or medicine, and disease claimed a number of lives among both the prisoners and their guards.

The camp was the site of the imprisonment of S. H. M. Byers, as well as the location in which Byers created his two most famous works: the poem that lent its name to Sherman's March to the Sea, and The Song of Iowa. During his imprisonment at Camp Sorghum, Byers read a newspaper that had been smuggled into camp by a slave in a piece of bread. From that he learned of Sherman's March to the Sea, and the taking of Atlanta, Georgia. Byers wrote a poem about the March, which was set to music by fellow prisoner W. O. Rockwell. The song was smuggled out of the prison in the wooden leg of Lt. Daniel W. Tower, and became an immediate hit in the north. 

The prisoners of Camp Sorghum were eventually transferred to the property of the state mental asylum in Columbia sometime before the city was captured in February 1865. Most of the POWs were removed from Columbia on February 12, 1865 as William Tecumseh Sherman's Union Army approached the city. Byers however managed to hide in the attic of the asylum, and became one of the first to greet the Union Army upon its entrance to Columbia.

PP Carinae

p Carinae is the Bayer designation of a star in the southern constellation of Carina. It has the variable star designation PP Carinae and, at an apparent visual magnitude of +3.3, is readily visible to the naked eye from the southern hemisphere. From the observed parallax shift of this star as the Earth orbits the Sun, its distance can be estimated as roughly  with a 6% margin of error.  It is considered to be a member of the open cluster IC 2602 although it lies well outside the core visible group of stars.

The star is a B-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of B4 Vne. The 'ne' suffix indicates it is a rapidly rotating Be star that is surrounded by hot circumstellar gas. This material adds emission lines to the spectrum of the star. It has a projected rotational velocity of , with about 7.6 times the mass and 6 times the radius of the Sun. This star is classified as a Gamma Cassiopeiae-type variable and its brightness varies from magnitude +3.22 to +3.55.

In most versions of its asterism, the neighbouring bright stars, thus plotted along the imaginary hull forming Carina are Theta Carinae, to the south, and V337 (also known as lower case q) Carinae to the east, of second and third magnitude respectively.

Prince Albert, South Africa

Prince Albert () is a small town in the Western Cape in South Africa. It is located on the southern edge of the Great Karoo, at the foot of the Swartberg mountains. In recent years the moniker the "Franschhoek of the Karoo" has been used to describe the town's appeal to the art community and wealthier South Africans, many of whom have become residents of the town.

History 
Prince Albert was founded in 1762 on a farm called Queekvalleij. Originally known as Albertsburg, when it obtained municipal status in 1845 it was renamed Prince Albert in honour of Queen Victoria's consort, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg. Prince Albert was historically part of the Cape Colony.

During the latter part of the century, a nugget of gold was discovered on a farm in the area. Due to the fact that a similar occurrence had led to the Gold Rush in the Witwatersrand, this new discovery precipitated a similar population boom. However, the gold yield turned out to be minimal. Prince Albert became a British garrison during the Second Boer War in 1899. The town was the site of several clashes between the British and the Boers during this period.

Economy 
The town has a GINI coefficient of 0.56 ,and a Human Development Index of 0.68. Around 20% of the town's working age population is unemployed. The total size of the town's GDPR in 2015 was R418 million (roughly equivalent to US$34.3 million). The three largest economic sectors by value in the town's economy being government services (21%), agriculture (19%), and retail and tourism (15%). Agriculture provides about one third of all jobs in the town with retail and tourism being the second largest employer by sector accounting for 18% of all jobs provided. 

The town hosts a number of private art galleries and relatively large community of artists. Since the mid-1990s the town has experienced an economic boom which has been driven by the increasing number of artists and retirees moving to it.

Points of interest 
Prince Albert has a small local population, mainly engaged in farming and tourism. The village has thirteen National Monuments.

Robert Rosenthal (psychologist)

Robert Rosenthal (born March 2, 1933) is a German-born American psychologist who is a Distinguished Professor of Psychology at the University of California, Riverside. His interests include  self-fulfilling prophecies, which he explored in a well-known study of the Pygmalion effect: the effect of teachers' expectations on students.

Biography
Rosenthal was born in Gießen, Hesse, on March 2, 1933, and left Germany with his family at the age of six and arrived in the U.S. in 1940. In 1956, he was awarded a PhD by the University of California, Los Angeles. He started his career as a clinical psychologist and then moved into social psychology. From 1962 to 1999 he taught at Harvard, became chairman of the psychology department there in 1992, and Edgar Pierce Professor of Psychology in 1995. On retiring from Harvard in 1999, he went to California.

Much of his work has focused on nonverbal communication, particularly its influence on expectations: for example, in doctor-patient or manager-employee situations. The many awards he has won include the 2003 Gold Medal Award for Life Achievement in the Science of Psychology from the American Psychological Association and election to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Rosenthal won the AAAS Prize for Behavioral Science Research in 1960. In 2008 he became a University Professor in the University of California statewide system. A survey in the Review of General Psychology, published in 2002, ranked Rosenthal as the 84th most cited psychologist of the 20th century.

Wings UK Tour 1979

On 23 November 1979, Paul McCartney's band Wings began a 19-date concert tour of the United Kingdom to promote their recent album, Back to the Egg.

History
Wings' lineup for the tour was Paul and Linda McCartney, Denny Laine, Laurence Juber and Steve Holley, together with a brass section from the previous tour led by Howie Casey.

Following the main part of the tour, Wings teamed up with an all-star cast of musicians and took the name Rockestra to perform a series of Concerts for the People of Kampuchea at the Hammersmith Odeon in London.

It was originally to have been the first leg of a planned world tour, with further stops scheduled in Japan, Europe and America. However, it became Wings' final concert tour, after McCartney's marijuana arrest in Tokyo the following January.

Releases
A recording of "Coming Up" from Glasgow on 17 December 1979 of the tour was released on the single in April 1980 taking the A-side in the United States and becoming a number one hit. The Glasgow show itself was widely bootlegged under the title 'Last Flight'.

Six songs of the Hammersmith Odeon performance, three by Wings and three by Rockestra, were released on a Concerts for the People of Kampuchea live album.

With the beginning of Paul McCartney Archive Collection album reissues in 2010 more songs from a Glasgow show have been released. Band on the Run reissue received "No Words" and "Band on the Run" as pre-order bonus tracks, McCartney included "Every Night", "Maybe I'm Amazed" and "Hot as Sun" and McCartney II included "Coming Up" as bonus tracks.

Tour dates
After a live rehearsal at the Liverpool Royal Court attended by pupils of Liverpool Institute, McCartney's alma mater and of John Lennon's former school, Quarry Bank.

This star has an orange hue and is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.93. Based upon parallax measurements, it is located approximately 402 light years in distance from the Sun. The object is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +63 km/s, having come to within  some 1.8 million years ago.

This is an aging giant star with a stellar classification of K3 III, which means it is no longer undergoing core hydrogen fusion. It has expanded to 30 times the Sun's radius and is radiating 279 times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,289 K.

Web (manufacturing)

A web is a long, thin, and flexible material. Common webs include foil, metal, paper, textile, plastic film, and wire. Common processes carried out on webs include coating, plating, and laminating.

A web is generally processed by moving over rollers.  Between processing stages, webs are stored and transported as rolls also known as coils, packages and doffs.  The end result or use of web manufacturing is usually sheets. The primary motivation to work with webs instead of sheets is economics. Webs, being continuous, can be made at far higher speeds and do not have the start-stop issues of discrete sheet processing. The size of the web-handling industries is unknown.

Related processes
Web processing 
Web processing is found in a wide variety of other manufacturing including electronics such as circuit boards, construction materials such as roofing, and pharmaceuticals such as drug patches. 

Web handling
Web handling refers to the processing of a web through a machine with maximum productivity and minimum waste.

Jokari

Jokari is a racket game principally for two players that can also be played alone. The game consists of a rubber ball attached to an anchor on the floor by means of a long elastic band, which makes the ball come back when a person hits it. Jokari is played with wooden paddles and is similar to swingball. The game has been highlighted as a way of engaging children in physical activity.

Jokari was invented in France in 1938 by Louis Joseph Miremont, then residing in Bayonne.

Cultural references
The game has reached cult status in France and is featured in several comics, and also in the 2006 James Bond spoof movie OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies, in the English translation of which, the game is called "paddleball". In the first chapter of Ian Fleming's 1963 novel On Her Majesty's Secret Service, James Bond also refers to jokari as he is watching a beach on the northern coast of France.

In 2015, a group of Belgian medical doctors reported a case of a woman who presented with a wandering spleen, naming this anatomical phenomenon "the Jokari sign".

Lucius Tarutius Firmanus

Lucius Tarutius Firmanus (or Lucius Tarutius of Firmum) (unknown-fl. 86 BC) was a Roman philosopher, mathematician, and astrologer (Taruntius or Tarrutius are also used, but are incorrect).

Tarutius was a close friend of both Marcus Terentius Varro and Cicero.  At Varro's request, Tarutius took the horoscope of Romulus.  After studying the circumstances of the life and death of the founder of Rome, Tarutius calculated that Romulus was born on March 24 (when the date is correctly translated from the Egyptian calendar) in the second year of the second Olympiad (i.e. 771 BC).  He also calculated that Rome was founded on 4 October 754 BC, between the second and third hour of the day (Plutarch, Rom., 12; Cicero, De Divin., ii. 47.). 
The proximity of this date to an eclipse was discussed by Scaliger.

The crater Taruntius on the Moon is named after him.

Moundsville Bridge

The Moundsville Bridge is a four-lane through arch bridge that connects Mead Township, Ohio and Moundsville, West Virginia across the Ohio River. The approach routes to the bridge carries Ohio State Route 872 (SR 872) on the Ohio side and the unsigned West Virginia Route 2 Spur on the West Virginia side. The bridge is also officially known as the Arch A. Moore Bridge, named after the former West Virginia governor Arch A. Moore, Jr.

Description
The western approach to the bridge begins at a diamond interchange with Ohio State Route 7 in rural Mead Township, Belmont County, Ohio. North of the interchange, Township Road 533 but towards the bridge, the four-lane, divided SR 872 begins. The road curves to the east and has intersections with access roads (TR 533) to the former R.E. Burger Power Station. First, SR 872 passes over TR 533 and railroad lines before beginning the Moundsville Bridge itself. Near the north bank of the river, the bridge crosses the state line where SR 872 ends and WV 2 Spur begins. After passing the main span, the road begins descending into Moundsville passing over local streets and a railroad. WV 2 Spur ends at a signalized intersection with WV 2 (Lafayette Avenue) and 12th Street in the central business district of Moundsville.

History
The Dilles Bottom section of Mead Township and Moundsville had been connected by a toll ferry since 1951. Upon the completion of the bridge, the ferry was retired.

Planning for the bridge has been ongoing since the late 1970s. Plans for the bridge began during the end of Arch Moore's term as governor but went into limbo due to a state moratorium on building projects at the time. Construction resumed on the bridge upon the announcement of shared funding from West Virginia, Ohio, and the federal government in 1977 by then-Governor Jay Rockefeller; construction was expected to be completed in 1980. By 1979, the Ohio access route was built but the bridge itself was not opened until August 15, 1986.

The opening of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Bridge, along with the Moundsville Bridge was thought to have reduced the amount of traffic, and thus tolls collected by the nearby Bellaire Bridge were reduced by 50 per-cent in 1987.

Cultural references
In the 2011 independent film Margin Call, a character played by Stanley Tucci boasts of designing a bridge between Moundsville and Dilles Bottom, Ohio in 1986.
