Spark by Hilton

Spark by Hilton is a chain of hotels owned by Hilton Worldwide. It was announced in January 2023, with the first hotel opening that September, and as of 2026 had 21,423 rooms in 242 hotels, all franchised. Spark is a premium economy chain designed to consist primarily of conversions of similar hotel buildings. In addition to units in the United States, Hilton has pursued international development of the brand. History Hilton announced Spark by Hilton in January 2023 as its 19th brand. It marked the company's first venture in the premium economy segment and its first brand intended to be used to convert existing hotel properties. Hilton quoted the cost of converting an existing hotel to Spark at $20,000 to $25,000 a room, a renovation that includes adding minimalist decor and overhauled lobbies. Converting an existing hotel may be cheaper than renovations necessary to maintain a hotel in the midscale segment or necessary for older units of chains such as Hilton's Hampton Inn that no longer meet current standards. Other chains have developed similar concepts targeted at conversions, such as Garner by IHG. Hilton focused on secondary and tertiary markets for Spark, particularly those where its presence was comparatively lacking. The first Spark by Hilton opened in September 2023, a 120-room former Days Inn in Mystic, Connecticut. The prototype was converted by the owners of a nearby Hilton hotel. Other Spark units that opened in the first year of the chain's existence included former locations of Country Inn and Suites and Hampton Inn and independent hotels. Hilton has marketed the Spark brand beyond the United States. The 72-room Spark by Hilton Toronto Markham in Ontario, Canada, opened in 2024 as its first hotel there; a unit in London opened that same year as the first Spark in Europe, and another location in Austria had opened by the end of 2024. In 2024, the company struck a licensing agreement with Olive by Embassy, subsidiary of the Embassy Group, for 150 units in India, primarily in the country's south. Hilton launched Spark in Mexico in February 2025, with the goal of establishing some 25 hotels in the country, focused on mid-size and emerging cities. As of 2026, the only "newly built" Spark location is the one near Harry Reid International Airport, serving the Las Vegas metro area. Additionally, Saudi Arabia opened its first Spark location, the Spark by Hilton Makkah Aziziyah, in Mecca. References External links Official website

USS Alabama (1942)

USS Alabama (BB-60) was het zesde slagschip van de United States Navy. Het was een South Dakota-klasse gevechtsschip, werd te water gelaten in 1940 en in 1942 in gebruik genomen. Tot eind 1943 was het schip toegevoegd aan de Britse Home Fleet. Het hielp de Britten bij gezamenlijke acties, onder andere bij de beveiliging van het eiland Spitsbergen en was daarna onderdeel van een operatie om het Duitse slagschip Tirpitz uit haar Noorse schuilplaats te lokken. Na 1943 werd de Alabama ingezet bij diverse operaties om door Japan bezette gebieden in de Stille Zuidzee te bevrijden, en bij het escorteren van Amerikaanse vliegdekschepen. In 1964 voer de Alabama naar de Baai van Mobile aan de kust van de staat Alabama. Het jaar daarop werd het geopend als museumschip. Het schip werd in 1986 op de lijst van National Historic Landmarks gezet. In 1992 werd het schip gebruikt voor de speelfilm Under Siege. Ook al werd wat filmmateriaal gebruikt van het slagschip Missouri; vrijwel alle actie werd gefilmd aan boord van de Alabama.
USS Alabama (BB-60)

USS Alabama (BB-60) – amerykański pancernik typu South Dakota, nazwany od stanu Alabama. Stępkę pancernika położono 1 lutego 1940 roku w stoczni Norfolk Naval Shipyard. Został zwodowany 16 lutego 1942, matką chrzestną była pani Lister Hill, żona starszego senatora (senior senator) z Alabamy. Okręt został przyjęty do służby 16 sierpnia 1942, z George'em B. Wilsonem na stanowisku dowódcy. Okręt wziął udział w walkach II wojny światowej. Okręt muzeum Mieszkańcy stanu Alabama utworzyli „Stowarzyszenie Pancernika USS Alabama” (USS Alabama Battleship Commission), aby zebrać fundusze na stworzenie z pancernika „Alabama” okrętu-muzeum, który miał być pomnikiem mężczyzn i kobiet służących w czasie II wojny światowej. Okręt został przekazany organizacji 16 czerwca 1964, a formalnie przejęty 7 lipca 1964 w trakcie ceremonii w Seattle. „Alabama” został przeholowany na miejsce stałego pobytu do Mobile w stanie Alabama, gdzie dotarł 14 września 1964. Okręt został udostępniony zwiedzającym 9 stycznia 1965. W 1969 obok zakotwiczono okręt podwodny USS „Drum”, ale w wyniku uszkodzeń, jakich doznał podczas huraganu Georges, został on przeniesiony na ląd i tam udostępniony zwiedzającym. Odwiedzający mogą oglądać wnętrza wież artylerii głównej i dział przeciwlotniczych. Magazyn amunicyjny jest dostępny poprzez otwór wycięty w pokładzie (dostawiono tam schody umożliwiające zejście niżej) „Alabama” jest okazjonalnie wykorzystywana jako schron w czasie huraganów. Podczas huraganu Katrina okręt odniósł uszkodzenia, co spowodowało ośmiostopniowy przechył i przesunięcie okrętu i przemieszczenie się ze stałego miejsca zakotwiczenia. Rodziny 18 pracowników muzeum były na pokładzie podczas huraganu. W czasie huraganu mocno uszkodzony został także Pawilon Lotniczy, co spowodowało zniszczenie trzech z kilku wystawianych tam samolotów. Pod koniec 2005 roku zniszczenia zostały oszacowane na 4 miliony dolarów. Muzeum zostało otwarte ponownie 9 stycznia 2006 roku, gdy okręt miał nadal trzystopniowy przechył. Obecnie dla zwiedzających udostępnione są trzy oznakowane trasy prowadzące przez wnętrze okrętu z wieloma ekspozycjami tematycznymi. Odznaczenia Za swoją służbę w II wojnie światowej okręt otrzymał 9 odznaczeń battle star. W filmie Film „Liberator” (Under Siege) z roku 1992, którego fabuła skoncentrowana jest wokół przejęcia przez terrorystów pancernika USS „Missouri” (BB-63), był kręcony na pokładzie USS „Alabama”.

Isle aux Herbes

Die Isle aux Herbes (deutsch: „Kräuterinsel“), auch Coffee Island, ist eine in Nord-Süd-Richtung bis vier Kilometer lange und maximal 500 Meter breite Insel im Golf von Mexiko beziehungsweise dem Mississippi Sound vor der Küste des US-Bundesstaates Alabama. Die Insel liegt keine zwei Kilometer vor der Golfküste und dem Ort Bayou La Batre. Je nach Windrichtung, Windstärke und Höhe des Tidenhubs kann sie vollständig unter Wasser liegen. Noch kaum mehr als zwei Wochen vor Ankunft der durch den Untergang der Deepwater-Horizon-Plattform verursachten Ölpest wurde im April 2010 versucht, der fortschreitenden Erosion durch Sandaufschüttungen und andere Maßnahmen zu begegnen, die vor allem dem Küstenschutz dienen sollten.

Isle aux Herbes

L'Isle aux Herbes ou îles aux Herbes est située dans le golfe du Mexique, près de la côte de l'Alabama dans la ville de bayou La Batre du comté de Mobile. Géographie L'île aux Herbes fait partie des nombreuses îles formées il y a plus de deux mille ans dans le delta du Mississippi et la rive nord du golfe du Mexique et formant une des îles barrière. Elle mesure 4 km de long sur 500 mètres de large pour une superficie d'environ 2 km2. En août 2005, l'Isle aux Herbes subit les dommages de l'ouragan Katrina. Histoire L'île aux Herbes a été nommée au début du XVIIIe siècle par des colons français lors de l'exploration du fleuve Mississippi par l'explorateur Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville (1661-1706) qui reconnut cette région méridionale de la Louisiane française. Catastrophe pétrolifère Le 20 avril 2010, la plate-forme pétrolière, "Deepwater Horizon", louée par la compagnie pétrolière britannique BP pour forer dans le golfe du Mexique (dans la Zone Économique Exclusive des États-Unis) le puits le plus profond jamais creusé en offshore, explose, générant un incendie et entrainant la mort de 11 personnes et une gigantesque marée noire. Le bayou La Batre et notamment l'Isle aux Herbes furent ravagés par cette pollution pétrolière. La faune et la flore furent gravement atteintes par les hydrocarbures, notamment les nombreux oiseaux limicoles et échassiers qui vivaient dans cette île. Après l'utilisation de dispersant dans le golfe du Mexique par BP, l'activité de la pêche et du tourisme de la ville s'est réduite progressivement. En effet, BP a déversé plus de 2,6 millions de litres de dispersant du type Corexit EC9527A et du Corexit EC9500A, déclaré encore ultra toxique selon Greenpeace ou encore le Cedre, le centre de documentation, de recherche et d'expérimentations sur les pollutions accidentelles des eaux. Désormais, la plupart des dockers, pécheurs, ou autres personnes vivants de la pêche sont aux chômage et les centres de distribution de nourritures sont surchargés. Aussi, l'activité du tourisme est fortement touché et affaiblie par cette marée noire.

Alabama Plating Company Superfund site

The Alabama Plating Company Superfund site is a former industrial site in Vincent, Alabama. The site covers 6 acres and was used by the Alabama Plating Company as an electroplating facility between 1956-1986. The facility caused contamination of the ground water with hazardous waste containing heavy metals. After assessment by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) it was added to the National Priorities List in September 2012 for remedial action. The site cleanup is directed by the federal Superfund program. History In 1970, the site was identified as a new source of pollution by the Alabama Water Improvement Commission, and one of eleven industries notified to present plans for "abatement of their pollution of state waters". By 1980, the company had gained a permit to discharge treated water into the Spring Creek. In 1986, the company was ordered by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management to clean up a section of the Spring Creek where contaminated sediment had built up, following a treatment process failure. The company received further ADEM orders in 1990 and 1991 in relation to delays in cleaning up contaminated groundwater and closing containment ponds at the site. Lawsuit In June 1991, the Alabama Plating Company demanded that the costs for cleanup at the site be covered under its insurance's "comprehensive general liability" policy with the United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company, as well as its "excess liability" policies with Safety National Casualty Corporation and Ranger Insurance Company. All three companies refused, and were then sued by the Alabama Plating Company, who alleged breach of contract, fraudulent misrepresentation, bad faith, and other charges related to wrongful denial of coverage. The company also sued Hilb, Rogal and Hamilton Company of Birmingham, Inc, the insurance agency through which they had obtained coverage, for fraudulent misrepresentation and negligence. The Alabama Plating Company had argued that the policy, which covered pollution cleanup costs only in cases in which the pollution was "sudden and accidental" which the company claimed its incidents had fulfilled. Contamination The contamination at the site originates from a liquid byproduct, created from the electroplating process. This byproduct contained cadmium, chromium, cyanide, and zinc. A mechanical treatment system, in which the heavy metals would be settled out in containment ponds before draining the wastewater into the Spring Creek, was employed to prevent pollution. However, failures of the treatment system led to a buildup of contaminated sediment in the creek, as well as groundwater contamination. See also Toxic heavy metals References

Caldwell School

The Caldwell School is a historic former black school building in Mobile, Alabama. The school, originally named the Broad Street Academy, was the first public high school for African Americans in the city. It was founded in 1887, with William A. Caldwell serving as the first principal. The original building was torn down and replaced with the current one in 1947. Upon reopening in the new building, it served as an African American elementary school. It was called the Caldwell School in honor of its first principal from this point until closing during the 1960s.

Federal Correctional Institution, Aliceville

The Federal Correctional Institution, Aliceville (FCI Aliceville) is a low-security United States federal prison for female inmates in Alabama. It is operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, a division of the United States Department of Justice. It is located in unincorporated Pickens County, between Aliceville and Pickensville, and also includes a satellite prison camp for minimum-security inmates. FCI Aliceville is the first federal women's prison to be established in Alabama. History Construction on FCI Aliceville began in 2008. FCI Aliceville became operational in 2013. Aliceville public officials approved the project with the support of residents who hope that the facility would provide jobs and boost local businesses. The town's population is about 2,500, with unemployment near 11 percent, well above the national average. Aliceville officials estimate the facility will generate between 700 and 1,000 trips per day, which will lead to new hotels, restaurants and gas stations being opened. The medium-security prison is expected to house 1,400 female inmates and employ between 320 and 350 people when it reaches full operating capacity. However, 40 percent of those jobs will go to existing federal prison employees. The Bureau of Prisons has already transferred female inmates to FCI Aliceville from FCI Danbury, which is being converted back to an all-male facility. Pickens County, previously losing population, became the fastest growing county in Alabama in 2014 because of the installation of the prison. Location and facility The prison is on a 650-acre (260 ha) plot of land along Alabama State Route 14, in southwest unincorporated Pickens County. The prison is about 2.5 miles (4.0 km) north of Aliceville, and between Aliceville and Pickensville. The local area is served by the Aliceville post office. It is approximately 55 miles (89 km) west of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and 35 miles (56 km) southeast of Columbus, Mississippi. The prison, managed by two construction companies, had a scheduled cost of $185 million. Caddell and W.G. Yates & Sons, of Montgomery, Alabama and Philadelphia, Mississippi, respectively, worked on the project. Programs and services FCI Aliceville offers a literacy program designed to help inmates develop foundational knowledge and skills in reading, math, written expression, and to prepare inmates for GED classes. Inmates with low-English proficiency are required to take ESL classes. Adult continuing education, college correspondence programs and parenting classes are also available. A Release Preparation Program is geared towards preparing inmates for their return to society. Inmate tutors teach skills including job searching, resume writing, budgeting and buying a home.

Gainesville Park (Alabama)

Der Gainesville Park ist ein dreieckiger, historischer Park in der Stadt Gainesville im US-Bundesstaat Alabama. Er ist seit dem 29. Oktober 1985 mit der Nummer 85002929 im National Register of Historic Places eingetragen. Lage Der Park befindet sich etwa 150 Meter südwestlich vom Tombigbee River am nördlichen Ende der historischen Innenstadt von Gainesville. Er wird im Süden von der Washington Street, im Westen von einer Verlängerung der State Street (Alabama State Route 116) und im Osten von der McKee Street (Alabama State Route 39) abgegrenzt. Beschreibung Der dreiecksförmige Park misst etwa 29 × 46 × 34 Meter und wird von einem niedrigen Eisenzaun umschlossen. Eine breite Öffnung im Süden bietet einen Zugang von der Washington Street. An der nördlichen Spitze innerhalb der Umzäunung steht ein rechteckiger, etwa 3 × 3,70 Meter großer, offener Pavillon mit einem flachen, pyramidenförmigen Dach, das von vier quadratischen Säulen getragen wird. Der Pavillon stammt aus der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts und stellt ein selten erhaltenes Beispiel für Greek-Revival-Architektur dieses Bautyps dar. Geschichte Der Park war Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts das soziale Zentrum von Gainesville. Er diente als Versammlungsplatz für verschiedene Veranstaltungen wie Konzerte, Feiern oder Bürgerversammlungen. Zu dieser Zeit war der Park noch von ein- und zweistöckigen Geschäftsgebäuden umgeben, darunter eine Filiale der Alabama State Bank an der State Street auf der Westseite. Nordöstlich an der Ecke McKee/Yankee Street nahe dem Fluss stand das während der Flush Times in den 1830er Jahren errichtete American House Hotel. In den 1840er oder 1850er Jahren entstand vermutlich der Pavillon, der erstmals auf einer Sanborn-Karte von 1884 nachgewiesen ist. Der heutige Zaun und die Wasserstelle im südlichen Bereich datieren wahrscheinlich ins späte 19. Jahrhundert.
