Pagan Airstrip

Pagan Airstrip (FAA LID: TT01) is a closed airfield located on Pagan Island in the United States Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, near the village of Shomu-Shon. The airport is owned by the Commonwealth Ports Authority. History The airfield was originally built as a Japanese fighter airstrip and was called Shomushan Field. Construction took place between 1939 and 1944, with 200 workers from Japan and Korea building the 1,000 feet (300 m) runway and other defenses on the island. On June 22, 1944, the airfield was attacked by U.S. carrier aircraft, with the attack destroying four Japanese aircraft on the ground, as well as damaging buildings and runways. It was subject to further bombing on September 26–27, 1944, with P-47 Thunderbolts and B-24 Liberators of the Seventh Air Force conducting attacks. The airfield was once attacked again on November 25–26, 1944, with U.S. Army Air Forces P-47 Thunderbolts and U.S. Navy F4U Corsairs bombed and strafed the island, in addition to downing two Japanese aircraft. In total, U.S. Army P-47 Thunderbolts and P-61 Black Widows flew 1,578 missions against the airfield between August 1944 and May 1945, with the Japanese continuously repairing the runway. Japanese forces on Pagan surrendered in September 1945. Initial efforts to put the airfield back into service began in autumn of 1966, with US$7,000 in funding from the Mariana Islands District Legislature leading to a usable runway. In February 1967, Emmet Kay, president of Micronesia Airlines, was the first pilot to land at the airfield since World War II. A formal dedication was held on April 3, 1967. From May to October 1970, the airfield was further rebuilt by thirteen members of a U.S. Air Force Civic Action Team. During a 12-month period ending September 26, 1980, the airport had 240 aircraft operations: 79% air taxi and 21% general aviation. On May 15, 1981, Mount Pagan erupted, with lava flows covering about one-third of the airfield. Attempts by a civilian aircraft and a U.S. Navy P-3 Orion to land at the airstrip on the day of the eruption were unsuccessful, in part due to the volcano's ash cloud obscuring the airfield. As of 2023, the airfield is listed as "closed indefinitely" in the Federal Aviation Administration's Airport/Facility Directory. It has not been inspected by the FAA since September 1980. A major issue with habitation and operations on the island has been the activity of the volcano, which has erupted periodically since the 1980s, the latest being in 2021.

International Broadcasting Bureau

The International Broadcasting Bureau (IBB) is the technical support outlet within the United States Agency for Global Media (USAGM) (former Broadcasting Board of Governors, BBG), which is a U.S. independent agency. The IBB supports the day-to-day operations of Voice of America (VOA) and the Office of Cuba Broadcasting (Radio y Televisión Martí). Moreover, it also provides transmission and technical support for all of the independent non-military broadcasting services funded by the USAGM. The IBB is located in Washington, D.C. History On April 30, 1994, President Clinton signed the International Broadcasting Act (Public Law 103-236). The legislation established the International Broadcasting Bureau (IBB) within the United States Information Agency (USIA), and created a Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) with oversight authority over all non-military U.S. government international broadcasting. The Voice of America, the oldest and best-known organization within the BBG, was the first broadcast news organization to offer continuously updated programming on the Internet. When USIA was disbanded in October 1999, the IBB and BBG were established as independent federal government entities, with the IBB as an administrative vehicle under the BBG containing VOA, Radio and TV Martí, the Office of Engineering and Technical Services, and a number of support services. Other international broadcasting services supervised by the USAGM are constituted as private corporations and are not part of the IBB. These include: Radio Sawa and Al Hurra television (Arabic), Radio Farda (Persian to Iran), Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) Radio Free Asia (RFA). Currently, the VOA and the IBB continue to operate shortwave radio transmitters and antenna farms at one site in the United States, located near Greenville, North Carolina. Director The position of IBB Director is appointed by the president of the United States, with Senate confirmation. The last IBB Director was Richard M. Lobo, who was appointed by President Barack Obama and confirmed by the Senate in September 2010. He retired in November 2013 as the longest-serving IBB Director. During his tenure, he implemented a management restructuring plan under which the responsibilities of the IBB Director were transferred to a new CEO of the BBG. Past directors Previously, the directorship was held by Seth Cropsey (December 9, 2002—2004). Appointed by the BBG, Brian Conniff served as acting director from April 1999 to December 2002. Joseph B. Bruns was the first director of IBB, he served from 1994 until 1995. Bruns previously had been Acting Associate Director of Broadcasting of USIA and Acting Director of VOA.

International Broadcasting Bureau

International Broadcasting Bureau (IBB) – agencja informacyjna rządu Stanów Zjednoczonych, utworzona w 1994 r. w miejsce dawnej Voice of America. Celem tej agencji jest rozpowszechnianie komunikatów rządu Stanów Zjednoczonych za granicę, za pomocą radia, telewizji i internetu. IBB zarządza następującymi stacjami radiowo-telewizyjnymi: Sieć stacji radiowych Voice of America ("Głos Ameryki") - nadających głównie oficjalne komunikaty rządu Stanów Zjednoczonych Radio Martí i TV Martí - nadające na teren Kuby. Radio Sawa - nadające na teren krajów arabskich Radio Farda (nadające w języku perskim głównie na teren Iranu) Radio Wolna Europa - nadające na teren kilkunastu krajów Europejskich Radio Free Asia - nadające w teren kilkunastu krajów Azjatyckich. Do emisji tych programów IBB posiada sieć naziemnych nadajników radiowo-telewizyjnych rozlokowanych zazwyczaj blisko granic krajów do których nadawane są programy. W wielu krajach, w których istnieje cenzura prewencyjna programy nadawane przez stacje IBB są zagłuszane, gdyż są one odbierane jako forma nacisku propagandowego rządu Stanu Zjednoczonych. Oprócz tego, IBB rozpowszechnia też swojej programy przez internet i drogą satelitarną. Linki zewnętrzne Oficjalna strona IBB

Собор Богоматери Кармельской (Северные Марианские Острова)

Собор Богоматери Кармельской (англ. Cathedral The Our Lady of Mount Carmel) — кафедральный собор римско-католической церкви на Северных Марианских островах. Является резиденцией епископа епархии Чалан-Каноа. Собор находится в поселении Чалан Каноа на острове Сайпан. Это один из множества соборов, посвященных Богоматери Кармельской. Главный храм находится в Израиле, на горе Кармель и называется Стелла Марис. Епископом Собора Богоматери Кармельской на Северных Марианских Островах является Райан П. Хименес. История С 1521 до 1899 года испанские колонизаторы проводили католизацию коренного населения — чаморро. Самый первый кафедральный собор находился на острове Сайпан, в городе Гарапане с 1907 по 1944 год. Собор носил название исп. Guma’ Yu’us Bithen de Carmen. Во время Второй Мировой Войны японцы устроили в нём склады боеприпасов, и собор был полностью разрушен американской авиацией в 1944 году во время битвы за Сайпан. Жители острова приспособили под временное место поклонения старую мэрию Сайпана, первоначально расположенную рядом с почтовым отделением Чалан Каноа. В 1947 году был поднят вопрос о строительстве нового католического собора. 14 декабря 1949 года собор был открыт на новом месте, в поселении Чалан Каноа. Статуя Богоматери из старого храма не была найдена, поэтому в храме была установлена статуя Иисуса, оставшаяся неповреждённой во время супертайфунов Джин (1968) и Ким (1986). Примечания
Atantano Shrine

The Atantano Shrine is a historic commemorative marker near Piti, Guam. It is a pyramidal structure of coral limestone and concrete, about 2.5 metres (8.2 ft) in height, with base dimensions of 1.6 metres (5.2 ft). It is topped by a wooden cross and protected by an open concrete shelter. The monument was built in at least three stages, the early stages acting as bases for the mounting of the later ones. Panels on three sides carry inscriptions. The oldest inscription marks the initial construction of the road between Piti and Agat under the governorship of Don Felipe Cerain in 1784–85. The second inscription commemorates the creation of rice fields in the area under by Governor Don Francisco Villabos in 1832–34, and the third marks the reconstruction of the coast road during the governorship of Edward John Dorn in 1908–09. Commemorative markers of this type were a fixture of Spanish colonial administration that were adopted by Guamanians. The shrine has been the site of annual festivities since before World War II. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Guam References
Fort Santa Agueda

Fort Santa Agueda, on Guam Highway 7 in Hagåtña (formerly Agana), Guam, dates from about 1800, during the 1784-1802 administration of Spanish governor Manuel Moro. It was an uncovered fort with a manposteria (coral stone and lime mortar) parapet, rising about 10 feet (3.0 m) above a sloping hillside. It is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places, as the only remaining fortification of the Spanish Era in Hagåtña. The fort was mentioned in 1802 by an officer of an American whaling ship, who recorded that the fort had seven guns and ten men, and that it fired a salute when the governor entered a new church in Agana. Russian Otto von Kotzebue, in 1817, noted that it had only a few guns. It was in ruins by 1887. It was used by Americans as a signal station until 1933, and was converted to a gun emplacement by the Japanese occupiers during World War II. It became a park in 1960 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Guam References
Fuerte Santa Águeda

El Fuerte Santa Águeda o Castillo Santa Águeda fue un fuerte novohispano del siglo XIX situado en Hagåtña (anteriormente Agaña) en Guam. Historia Data de alrededor de 1800, durante la administración de 1784-1802 del gobernador de Marianas Manuel Moro, dependiente de la Capitanía General de Filipinas.​ Era un fuerte descubierto con un parapeto de mampostería (piedra de coral y mortero de cal), que se elevaba unos tres metros sobre una ladera inclinada para el control de la bahía donde se encuentra Agaña, primera ciudad fundada en Oceanía. Además de este fuerte también existió el castillo de San Rafael. El fuerte fue mencionado en 1802 por un oficial de un barco ballenero estadounidense, quien registró que el fuerte tenía siete cañones y diez hombres. El ruso Otto von Kotzebue, en 1817, constató que sólo disponía de unos pocos cañones. Para 1887 se encontraba en estado de ruina. Fue utilizado por los estadounidenses como estación de señales hasta 1933, y los ocupantes japoneses lo convirtieron en un emplazamiento de artillería durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, quedando destruido, al igual del resto de Agaña, en el transcurso de esta guerra por el ejército americano. Se convirtió en parque en 1960 y se incluyó en el Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos en 1974.​ Está inscrito en el Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos de Estados Unidos, como la única fortificación que queda de época española en Hagåtña.

Форт Санта-Агеда

Форт Санта-Агеда (англ. Fort Santa Agueda) — бывшая военная крепость на острове Гуам (США). Расположена в столице острова Хагатне на Гуамской автомагистрали № 7. История Форт Санта-Агеда датируется примерно 1800 годом, построен во время правления испанского губернатора Мануэля Моро (1784–1802). Это был незамкнутый форт с парапетом из кораллового камня и известкового раствора, возвышавшийся примерно на 3,0 м над крутым склоном холма. Он внесен в Национальный реестр исторических мест США как единственное сохранившееся укрепление испанской эпохи в Хагатне. Форт был упомянут в 1802 году офицером американского китобойного судна, который записал, что в форте было семь орудий и десять человек, и что форт дал салют, когда губернатор вошёл в новую церковь в Агане (ныне Хагатна). Русский мореплаватель Отто фон Коцебу в 1817 году отметил, что в крепости было всего несколько пушек. К 1887 году форт разрушился и до 1933 года использовался американцами как сигнальная станция. Во время Второй мировой войны японские оккупационные войска переоборудовали форт в огневую точку. В 1960 году форт стал парком, а в 1974 году был внесен в Национальный реестр исторических мест.

Michael J. Kirwan Educational Television Center

The Michael J. Kirwan Educational Television Center, also known as KVZK-TV or KVZK Building, is a historic and current television center in Utulei, American Samoa. It is named for U.S. congressman Michael J. Kirwan, from Ohio, who took an interest in the development of American Samoa, and was instrumental in securing funding for a wide variety of improvements in the territory's infrastructure. It is a utilitarian concrete structure, roughly cruciform in shape, with a corrugated metal gable roof, located behind the Department of Education building on Route 1 in Utulei. It was built in 1964 as part of an innovative initiative to reform American Samoa's then-primitive educational facilities by broadcasting lessons from a central facility to the territory's remote schools. This initiative resulted in the widespread electrification of the territory's islands, and the construction of roads and new schools, and was widely regarded as a model for improving education in underdeveloped parts of the world. By the 1970s use of the broadcast facilities for education declined. The building was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on October 23, 2009. The listing was announced as the featured listing in the National Park Service's weekly list of November 13, 2009. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in American Samoa References
Sadie Thompson Inn

The Sadie Thompson Inn is a historic building in Malaloa, one of the constituent villages of Pago Pago in American Samoa. The building is noted as the guest house where from mid-December 1916 author W. Somerset Maugham resided for six weeks during an extended trip through the South Sea Islands. He described it as a "dilapidated lodging house with a corrugated tin roof" and complained that he contracted "a stubborn rash, no doubt fungus" while at the hotel, and of the weeks it took to cure it. The building was subsequently the setting of his short story "Rain", published in 1921, which depicted a psychological battle of wits between a wayward, on-the-run prostitute, Sadie Thompson, and a conservative, self-righteous missionary. Although conclusive evidence is lacking, Maugham was apparently in residence at the lodging house with a real person named Sadie Thompson, who reportedly had been driven from a red-light district in Honolulu. Considered one of Maugham's more noteworthy works, the story was later adapted to the stage and brought to the screen three times. The first film was the 1928 silent Sadie Thompson, starring Gloria Swanson as the titular character and Lionel Barrymore as Alfred Davidson, the missionary. Just four years later, in 1932, it was filmed again as Rain, with Joan Crawford as Sadie and Walter Huston, the missionary. And in 1953, Miss Sadie Thompson was released in Technicolor, featuring Rita Hayworth and José Ferrer. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003 as the Sadie Thompson Building. Previously, it had been known as the Meredith Building, the Haleck Building, and as simply Boarding House. At the time of its NRHP listing, the structure was being utilized as a department store on the first floor and a restaurant on its second. It is currently used as a hotel and restaurant. The Sadie Thompson Inn is historically significant for its association with Somerset Maugham during the waning years of the British Empire in the South Sea Islands. Maugham stayed at the lodging house from December 16, 1916, to January 30, 1917. See also Sadie Thompson References External links Media related to Sadie Thompson Inn at Wikimedia Commons
