Keokuk Rail Bridge

The Keokuk Bridge, also known as the Keokuk Municipal Bridge, is a double-deck, single-track railway and highway bridge across the Mississippi River in the United States between Keokuk, Iowa, and Hamilton, Illinois, just downstream of Mississippi Lock and Dam number 19. It was designed by Ralph Modjeski and constructed 1915–1916 on the piers of its predecessor that was constructed in 1869–1871.

Following the completion of the Keokuk-Hamilton Bridge, the upper deck of this bridge, on the Keokuk side, was converted to an observation deck to view the nearby lock and dam; this deck is no longer used for road traffic, but the lower deck is still used for rail traffic. The bridge was originally owned by the Keokuk & Hamilton Bridge Company, but following financial problems in the 1940s, the bridge was given to the City of Keokuk in late 1948.

The bridge was originally the western terminus of the Toledo, Peoria & Western Railroad. Today, it serves  the Keokuk Junction Railway with occasional train crossings for interconnection and river terminal services. Only the Keokuk side of the highway bridge has been converted, the bridge's upper highway deck is abandoned. The river traffic (barges and boats) have the right-of-way, so the swing section remains open until a train needs to cross the river.

On the Illinois side of the bridge, two precast concrete barriers prevent auto traffic from driving on to the old highway section.

The bridge was documented as survey number IA-3 by the Historic American Engineering Record, archived in the Library of Congress.

Reagan Wilson

Reagan Diana Wilson (born March 6, 1947) is an American model and actress who was Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for its October 1967 issue. Her centerfold was photographed by Ron Vogel.

Early life
Wilson was born in Torrance, California, and attended Roosevelt Elementary School in Santa Monica. After her parents' divorce, she relocated to Missoula, Montana with her mother, younger brother and sister.  She studied journalism at the University of Montana.

Career
Wilson began working as a model after relocating to Los Angeles, California in the late 1960s. She made her film debut in the 1970 horror film Blood Mania with fellow Playmate Vicki Peters, and later appeared in the 1973 film Running with the Devil. Wilson later relocated to New York City, where she did further modeling work, followed by jobs in Paris and London.

In 1968, Wilson appeared at a Men's Day event at the University of Washington in Seattle, which also featured a concert by Phil Ochs. Wilson was criticized for her appearance by feminist organizers, who chanted, "Reagan Wilson, you are an empty vessel" at the event.

In November 1969, a nude photo of Wilson made a trip to the Moon. As a joke, NASA ground staff hid a small nude photo of her  (along with fellow playmates Angela Dorian, Cynthia Myers and Leslie Bianchini) inside the schedule of Apollo 12's mission commander, Pete Conrad. A photograph of Pete Conrad in his spacesuit with the Lunar Module in the background can be enlarged to see her picture.  Pete Conrad was the third man to walk on the Moon.

Wilson again posed nude for Playboy for the December 1979 pictorial "Playmates Forever!"

Personal life
Wilson married Barry Hornig in 1987. The couple owns a textile rug company in Santa Monica, California.

Streetsville Derbys

The Streetsville Derbys were a Junior "A" ice hockey team from Streetsville, Ontario, Canada.  They were a part of the Ontario Junior Hockey League in 2011 until they merged into the Cobourg Cougars. As of 2018 the Streetsville Hockey League have revived the Derbys name for their “Select” and house league divisions.

History
The Derbys began in 1967 as part of the Suburban Jr. C league.  In 1970, they joined the new Mid-Ontario Jr. B league, and the following season the team joined the Central Jr. B league.  The team was briefly renamed the Mississauga Derbys for the 1992–93 season.  Streetsville claimed the Central Junior "B" Championship in 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1983, 1984 and 1986, as well as the 1979 Sutherland Cup as All-Ontario Champions.  The Derbys were the hosts of the Royal Bank Cup 2006, the National Junior "A" Championship.  At the end of the 2007 season, it was announced that the Derbys would be moving to a new location, Westwood Arena in Rexdale, Ontario.  It is unknown if there will be an applicable name change.

In 1986, the Ontario Hockey Association, concerned with growing violence in hockey, suspended the Streetsville Derbys and the Brantford Classics from playing in the 1986–87 season.  The suspension of the Derbys had to do with a stick-swinging incident in the final game of the league quarter-final against the Nobleton Devils.  A Nobleton player was struck in the back of the head with a two-hand slash, which also struck a linesman and cut his eyelid.

The Streetsville Derbys were chosen by the Canadian Junior A Hockey League to host the 2006 Royal Bank Cup.  Instead of playing the games in a local arena, the Derbys' ownership elected to use the larger, neighbouring Powerade Centre in the rival town of Brampton, Ontario.  Despite the team playing well at the tournament, the execution of the tournament by team management was notoriously bad and criticized by Hockey Canada officials at the next AGM as well as the guest teams.  As they moved the event to the rival town of Brampton, most fans stayed home.  Streetsville finished first in the round robin (3-1), only to bow out with a 2–1 loss to the Yorkton Terriers of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League in the semi-final.

In March 2011, the Streetsville Derbys merged into the Cobourg Cougars and ceased to exist as members of the OJHL.

In the 2018 hockey season, the Streetsville Hockey League unveiled their newly revived divisional Derbys “Select” teams to compete in the Mississauga Hockey League.

Wise Dan Stakes

The Wise Dan Stakes is a Grade II American thoroughbred horse race for horses four-year-old and older run at a distance of one and one sixteenth of a mile on the turf held annually in June at Churchill Downs racetrack in Louisville, Kentucky.

History

The event was inaugurated on 4 July 1983 as the Firecracker Handicap over a distance of 7 furlongs on a sloppy dirt track and was won by Shot n' Missed who defeated the odds on favorite Dave's Friend in a five horse field. In the third running in 1985 the winner Rapid Gray set a new track record for the distance in a time of 1:21. The event was discontinued for seven years and when it was revived in 1993 it was held on the turf course over a distance of one mile.

The event was classified as Grade III in 1995, and upgraded to Grade II in 2002.

The event attracted several champion turf runners including Kitten's Joy who won the event in 2004 and later that year became U.S. Champion Male Turf Horse and Miesque's Approval who won this event in 2006 and later that year would capture the Breeders' Cup Mile.

The only duel winner was Wise Dan of this event who in 2011 won in his turf debut and 2013.  Later in 2013 Wise Dan was crowned American Horse of the Year for the second year running.

The race was renamed as the Wise Dan Stakes in 2016

The distance was increased from 1 mile to  miles also in 2016.

The race was placed on hiatus in June 2022 due to the suspension of turf racing at Churchill Downs.

In 2023 the event was moved to Ellis Park after Churchill Downs closed their spring meeting earlier due to a spate of injuries.

Fleur de Lis Stakes

The Fleur de Lis Stakes is a Grade III  American Thoroughbred horse race for fillies and mares age three and older over a distance of  miles on the dirt run annually in mid-June at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky.

History

The event was inaugurated on 31 May 1975 as the Fleur de Lis Handicap and was won by the favorite Bundler defeating four other runners on a sloppy track in the time of 1:39 over the mile distance. The event was held over the same distance for one more year before being extended to  miles.

The event is named after the English translation for the French "fleur-de-lis", a flower of the lily. The lily is the symbol of the Louisville flag, the location where the event is held. The lily has traditionally been used to represent French royalty and Louisville, named for the French king Louis XVI.

In 1983 the distance for the event was increased to  miles.

The event's condition from 1983–85 and 1987–89 was for four-year-olds & older.

The event was upgraded to Grade III in 1988 and again to Grade II in 2002.

Since 2015 the event has been a Breeders' Cup Challenge "Win and You’re In" for the Distaff Division.

The event has gained status over the recent years and has attracted some fine horses including the 2009 US Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra who easily won the race as a short favorite by the near stakes record of  lengths.

In 2023 the event was moved to Ellis Park after Churchill Downs closed their spring meeting earlier due to a spate of injuries.

Alberic of Monte Cassino

Alberic of Monte Cassino was a Cardinal in the Roman Catholic Church, who died in 1088. He was a cardinal from 1057. 

He was (perhaps) a native of Trier, and became a Benedictine. He successfully opposed the teachings of Berengarius, which were considered heretical by the Pope, defending the measures of Gregory VII during the Investiture Controversy. 

He is the author of numerous works in theology, hagiography, grammar, rhetoric and music; and is the author of the earliest medieval treatise on ars dictaminis, or letter-writing (De dictamine). Many of his letters are found in the works of St. Peter Damian.

One of his pupils, John of Gaeta, was the future Pope Gelasius II.

The Golden Rod Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race held annually in late November at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky.

Historical notes 
The inaugural running of the Golden Rod Stakes took place on October 20, 1910. It was established as a selling race and won by Helen Barbee. Heavy favorite Danger Mark finished sixth in the seven-horse field. It would remain a selling race until 1919 when it became the Golden Rod Handicap. For that year only it was run at one mile (8 furlongs). The Edward R. Bradley filly Busy Signal ran away from 15 competitors and won by 12 lengths. The race remained a handicap event through 1927 when it was placed on hiatus. In 1962 it was revived as the Golden Rod Stakes.

Cypripedium montanum

Cypripedium montanum is a member of the orchid genus Cypripedium. It is commonly known as large lady's slipper, mountain lady's slipper, white lady's slipper as well as moccasin flower. This latter is also the common name of Cypripedium acaule.

Description
Cypripedium montanum grows to be up to  tall. The stem has alternating, plicate leaves. Atop the stem sits one to three large flowers. The sepals and petals tend to be maroon-brown while the pouch is white. This species is a close ally of Cypripedium parviflorum, so they appear to be very similar with the main difference being pouch color.

Range
Cypripedium montanum can be found in the northwestern United States and western Canada. It is reported from California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia and Alaska. It is usually found at high elevation in open woods and subalpine slopes. Meriwether Lewis noted this species during his expedition while in Western Montana near Lolo Creek.

Vaughan Vipers

The Vaughan Vipers were a Junior "A" ice hockey team from Vaughan, Ontario, Canada.  They were a part of the Ontario Junior Hockey League.

History
In 1991, the expansion Royal York Rangers joined the Central Jr. B league, which became the Ontario Provincial league.  In 1996, the team moved to become the Vaughan Vipers. In the first season in 1996–97, the Vipers failed to make the playoffs and were the fourth-worst team. After managing only 7 wins out of a 51-game schedule, the Vipers finished with only 18 points, and the Vipers finished out of playoff contention for the third-consecutive year. The 1999–00 season would bring changes, and the Vipers produced talent with some local players, who were discarded from major junior hockey, especially the Ontario Hockey League. The records from the previous years were identical, but in different categories. Vaughan made the post-season for the first time in their short history, especially defeating the Pickering Panthers in four games and the Markham Waxers in 5 games. The Thornhill Rattlers were no match for the Vipers and lost the series in 4 games. The following seasons, the Vipers began to sink to the bottom of the standings and were fortunate to qualify for the playoffs, only to exit the first round. The Vipers would not advance to another playoff round until 2007.

Vaughan's best season came in 2007–08, when the team boosted a 41–4–4 record, despite finishing 2nd place in the OPJHL's South Conference behind the dominant St. Michael's Buzzers. The Vipers received a bye to the next round of the playoffs, but lost the second round series to the Markham Waxers in four games.

In their final 2011–12 season, the Vipers finished 2nd behind the St. Michael's Buzzers, but would lose a heart-breaking series to the Toronto Lakeshore Patriots in 7 games. Marcus Hinds scored the final goal in Vaughan Vipers history just over 11 minutes into the third period in a 4–2 loss to Toronto at the Al Palladini Community Centre in front of 323 fans.

In March 2012, the Vipers withdrew their membership from the OJHL. The news came as a shock, as the Vipers were potential top team in the OJHL and surprise to head coach/general manager Jason Fortier, who had just came up with some marketing ideas for the team, but owner Al Doria claimed it was too late and went ahead with the buyout option offered by the league.

Failan

Failan () is a 2001 South Korean film written and directed by Song Hae-sung. The film was adapted from the Japanese novel Love Letter by Jirō Asada. It stars Choi Min-sik and Hong Kong actress Cecilia Cheung.

Plot
After losing both her parents, Failan (Cecilia Cheung) immigrates to Korea to seek her only remaining relatives. Once she reaches Korea, she finds out that her relatives have moved to Canada well over a year ago. Desperate to stay and make a living in Korea, Failan is forced to have an arranged marriage through a match-making agency. Kang-jae (Choi Min-sik) is an old and outdated gangster who has no respect from his peers. Short on money, Kang-jae decides to take on the arranged marriage. Having nothing more than a picture of Kang-jae, Failan spends her days dreaming and wishing that Kang-jae would come to visit her. Failan often writes to Kang-jae in sorrow about how much she misses and thinks about him, but never has the nerve to give the letters to Kang-jae. Things take a turn when Kang-jae is asked by his boss to take the fall for a murder in exchange for some money. The only hope in his worthless life is the wife he never met.

Gabriel de Castilla

Gabriel de Castilla (1577 – c. 1620) was a Spanish explorer and navigator.  A native of Palencia, it has been argued that he was an early explorer of Antarctica.

Biography 
In March 1603, Castilla was at the head of an expedition that weighed anchor from Valparaiso.  Under his control were three ships: the galleon Jesús María, of 600 tons and 30 cannons, Nuestra Señora de la Visitación (which had belonged to Richard Hawkins) and Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes.  The expedition was entrusted by the Viceroy of Peru, Luis de Velasco, marqués de Salinas, to suppress the incursions of Dutch privateers in the seas to the south of Chile.

Historians conjecture that they penetrated to a latitude of (64° S) in the Southern Ocean, south of Drake Passage. If correct, this would be the farthest south that anyone had travelled, at that time.  Subsequently, several merchant vessels reported being blown south of 60° S rounding Cape Horn in severe weather.

It also has some marks of 1932's The Whoopee Party.

Some of the animation of Mickey's wild dance was actually originally done by Ward Kimball for The Reluctant Dragon, not only used in the film.

Home media

Seguin Bruins

The Seguin Bruins were a Junior "A" ice hockey team from the greater Parry Sound area, created in 2005. The Bruins were based in the village of Humphrey, in Seguin Township, Ontario, Canada.  They were a part of the Central Canadian Hockey League. In 2010 they accepted a buyout from their league to cease operations.

History
After the Parry Sound Shamrocks became defunct in 2002, the Bruins were created in 2005 to be the new Junior "A" ice hockey team in Parry Sound.

The Bruins were below .500 in their first season, however they were able to make the playoffs where they lost in the conference quarter final to the eventual conference champion Stouffville Spirit.

The first game ever played with this team was an exhibition game against the North Bay Sky Hawks and the first goal was scored by Jason Tsang, who played that season with the Parry Sound Midget Shamrocks under coach Rick Thomas and Tim McWhirter where he was a defenseman and made his first All-Star appearance in Bracebridge. Seguin's first regular season game took place at home on September 11, 2005 against the Couchiching Terriers.  The game ended up being a 6-5 loss for the Bruins. The first goal in regular season came halfway through the first period on a powerplay scored by Gerald Bojanowki.  Thomas Speer was the goaltender in the Bruins' first game.  The Bruins' first win came on October 2, 2005 as a 5-0 shutout against the Collingwood Blues.  Jonathan Porretta picked up both the franchise's first win and shutout in net stopping all 33 shots.

Responsibility (novel)

Responsibility is a novel by New Zealand author Nigel Cox, published by Victoria University Press in 2005.

The novel is set in contemporary Berlin, and tells the story of an expatriate New Zealander who, whilst working as a consultant for German museums, becomes embroiled in criminal activity out of boredom. The novel is notable for combining noir and detective fiction clichés with comedy, as well as having a serious emotional centre.

Much of the book's source material is drawn from Nigel Cox's own experiences living in Berlin, and working at the Jewish Museum there, between 2000 and 2005.
