Dewey-Denkmal

Das Dewey-Denkmal (englisch Dewey Monument) ist ein Denkmal für den US-amerikanischen Sieg in der Schlacht in der Bucht von Manila unter dem Befehl von George Dewey in San Francisco, Kalifornien. Lage Das Denkmal steht zentral auf dem Union Square in San Francisco. Gestaltung und Geschichte Errichtet wurde das hoch aufragende Denkmal im Jahr 1903. Neben dem militärischen Sieg in der Bucht von Manila im Jahr 1898 erinnert das Denkmal auch an den 1901 bei einem Attentat umgekommenen Präsidenten William McKinley. Entworfen wurde das Denkmal vom Bildhauer Robert Aitken und dem Architekten Newton Tharp. Es besteht aus einer etwa 24 Meter hohen, aus Granit gefertigten Säule, auf deren Spitze ein ungefähr fünf Meter hoher Aufsatz sitzt. Sie ist mit der Figur Winged Victory (deutsch Geflügelter Sieg) bekrönt, für die die lokale Erbin Alma de Bretteville Spreckels als Modell gedient haben soll. In einer Hand trägt sie einen Dreizack als Symbol Poseidons und des errungenen Seesiegs, in der anderen Hand, ebenfalls als Siegessymbol, einen Lorbeerkranz. Nach anderen Angaben soll der Kranz für den ermordeten Präsidenten McKinley stehen. Enthüllt wurde das Denkmal am 13. Mai 1903 von Präsident Theodore Roosevelt. Beim Erdbeben von San Francisco 1906 blieb das Denkmal trotz seiner schlanken, hohen Bauweise erhalten. 2012 wurde mittels der temporären kriegskritischen Kunstaktion Bitter Melon das Denkmal neu interpretiert. Inschriften Auf dem Sockel des Denkmals befinden sich mehrere englischsprachige Inschriften, die den geschichtlichen Hintergrund des Denkmals erläutern: (deutsch: Amerikanisches Geschwader in der Bucht von Manila: Olympia (Flaggschiff), Baltimore, Raleigh, Boston, Concord, Petrel, McColloch. Am 14. Mai 1903 wurde dieses Denkmal von Präsident Theodore Roosevelt eingeweiht.) (deutsch: Marineminister John D. Long an Kommodore George Dewey, 24. April 1898: „Zwischen den Vereinigten Staaten und Spanien hat ein Krieg begonnen.“ Begeben Sie sich sofort zu den Philippinen und erobern oder zerstören Sie die spanische Flotte.) (deutsch: In der Nacht des 30. April 1898 drang das Geschwader von Commodore Dewey in die Bucht von Manila ein und erreichte, unbeeindruckt von der Gefahr von Seeminen, Manila im Morgengrauen des 1. Mai 1898. Die spanische Flotte aus zehn Kriegsschiffen wurde angegriffen und zerstört. Er hielt die Stadt bis zum Eintreffen amerikanischer Truppen unter Kontrolle.) (deutsch: Von den Bürgern San Franciscos zum Gedenken an den Sieg der amerikanischen Marine unter Commodore George Dewey in der Bucht von Manila am 1. Mai 1898 errichtet. Am 23. Mai 1901 legte Präsident William McKinley den Grundstein für dieses Denkmal.) Weblinks Union Square - Dewey Monument vom 26. März 2012 auf artandarchitecture-sf.com (englisch) Einzelnachweise
Dewey Monument

The Dewey Monument is a memorial statue by Robert Ingersoll Aitken in San Francisco, California, located at the center of Union Square. Union Square is bounded by Geary, Powell, Post and Stockton Streets. The monument is dedicated to Admiral George Dewey and commemorates his victory in the Battle of Manila Bay during the Spanish–American War. Work on the monument began in 1901 and it was dedicated in 1903. History and description The monument was erected to honor Admiral George Dewey, a hero of the Spanish–American War, for his victory in the Battle of Manila Bay. On May 23, 1901, President William McKinley visited San Francisco to break ground for the monument. Six months later McKinley was assassinated and was succeeded by his vice president, Theodore Roosevelt. On May 14, 1903, Roosevelt officially dedicated the monument, which "commemorates the victory of Admiral George Dewey and the American fleet over Spanish forces at Manila Bay, the Philippines, on May 1, 1898, during the Spanish–American War" and also is a tribute to the sailors of the United States Navy. Robert Ingersoll Aitken was hired to sculpt a 9-foot (2.7 m) statue representing Nike, the ancient Greek Goddess of Victory in honor of McKinley and Dewey. The statue holds a trident that represents Dewey and a wreath that represents McKinley. There are several stories about who modeled for Aitken's statue. One story holds that Aitken hired Alma de Bretteville (later Alma Spreckels), who he knew from the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art, to model for the statue. This version of the story was endorsed by San Francisco columnist Herb Caen and later in the Alma Spreckels biography, Big Alma. However, a 1902 San Francisco Chronicle article hailing the statue's completion and giving details on the progress of the monument states that the model who posed for the statue was Clara Petzold or Petzoldt, a popular artists' model in San Francisco at that time. Architect Newton Tharp designed the base and column within a budget of $45,000. The column, over 5 ft (1.5 m) in diameter and over 85 ft (25.9 m) in height, was assembled from individual blocks weighing 40,000 lb (18,144 kg). Timbers over 100 ft (30.5 m) long were shipped from Oregon to support the block and tackle system used to construct the monument. The column stands on a square base with inscriptions on each side.

Diaz Lake

Diaz Lake, elevation 3,674 feet (1,120 m), is located in the Owens Valley, just south of Lone Pine, California, United States. It covers 80 acres (32 ha). History The lake was formed by the 1872 Lone Pine earthquake on Tuesday, March 26 of that year when 18 mi (29 km) of the Owens Valley dropped approximately 20 feet (6 m) (see graben) and a new spring opened, causing water to fill the lowland. The lake was named for the Diaz family who established a ranch here when brothers Rafael and Eleuterio Diaz emigrated from Chile in the 1860s. They owned and operated a successful cattle ranch until the land was sold to the city of Los Angeles. Access Year-round fishing is available, and the "Diaz Lake Fish Derby" is held the first Saturday in March. See also List of lakes in California References
Different Fur

Different Fur Studios (formerly Different Fur Trading Company) is a recording studio located in the Mission District area of San Francisco, California, at 3470 19th Street. Since 1968, Different Fur has recorded music from a wide range of artists, including major Grammy and Oscar-winning musicians as well as many important independent musicians. History Different Fur was founded in 1968 by the electronic music composer and keyboardist Patrick Gleeson and John Vieira. Its name was suggested by poet Michael McClure, while he was being recorded by Gleeson. By the early 1970s Gleeson was doing sessions with Jefferson Starship on his recently acquired 8-track recorder and Moog synthesizer. It was his expertise in early synthesizers, like the Moog, which eventually led Gleeson to collaborations with Herbie Hancock, whom Gleeson credits with helping Different Fur get off the ground. By 1971 Gleeson was working with Hancock on his albums Crossings and Sextant. He went on to record many of the synthesizers on Hancock's master work Head Hunters, as well as several solo albums at Different Fur. Gleeson eventually sold Different Fur in 1985. However, it remains an active recording studio to this day. The studio is currently owned by Engineer Patrick Brown. In February 2009, the relatively unknown and very recently signed to Fat Possum band Wavves filmed a video with bloggers yourstru.ly. The project was a three-part live filming of the two-piece band playing some of the songs off their new EP including "So Bored." While the original videos only received modest views after release, they marked the beginning of an ongoing partnership between Different Fur engineers and YoursTruly video producers that have resulted in live sessions with The Morning Benders, Chromeo, Little Dragon, Big K.R.I.T., Toro Y Moi, P.O.S, Girls, Freddie Gibbs, Death Cab For Cutie etc. Artists who have recorded at Different Fur include Neil Young, Phil Collins, Brian Eno, David Byrne, Devo, The Units, Kronos Quartet, Stevie Wonder, Van Morrison, Sylvester, Bobby Hutcherson, Primus, Al Di Meola, Joe Henderson, William Ackerman, Bobby McFerrin, Gene Clark, Michael Hedges, Terry Riley, Earth, Wind & Fire, Alan Hovhaness, Joe Satriani, The Residents, Erasure, Mr. Bungle, Autopsy, Yo-Yo Ma, John Zorn, Rodrigo y Gabriela, The Morning Benders, Bob Mould, Black Lips, Daniel Selby, OneRepublic, Tristan Prettyman, among many others. Music for Peanuts TV Specials and parts of the soundtrack of Apocalypse Now have been recorded there. Different Fur was featured in the SF Weekly Music section on June 15, 2011. The article focuses on work done with a number of local bands and artists. Selected discography References External links Different Fur — official site
Dignity Health Event Center

The Dignity Health Event Center is a multipurpose arena in Bakersfield, California. It opened in December 2009 as the Jam Events Center. It was home to the Bakersfield Jam of the NBA Development League. The arena regularly seats 500 people but it is expandable to 700. Jam owner Stan Ellis estimated in 2010 that the team is saving $500,000 a season by using the smaller facility rather than the much larger Rabobank Arena for home games. Because of the small seating capacity, no single-game tickets are available for any contest. This was also the team's practice facility. On August 21, 2012, it was announced that Dignity Health had signed a three-year naming rights deal with the Jam, changing the name to the Dignity Health Event Center effective immediately.

Dignity Health Event Center

Il Dignity Health Event Center è una arena multifunzione situata a Bakersfield, negli Stati Uniti. È operativa dal dicembre 2009 (inaugurata come Jam Events Center), ed è stata la casa dei Bakersfield Jam squadra appartenente alla NBA Development League fino al 2016. Attualmente la capacità è di 500 posti a sedere, espandibile fino a 700. Il proprietario dei Jam, Stan Ellis, ha stimato che nel 2010 la squadra ha risparmiato 500.000 dollari a stagione utilizzando questa struttura invece della più grande Rabobank Arena per le partite casalinghe. A causa della limitata disponibilità di posti a sedere non sono disponibili biglietti per le singole partite. L'arena è anche la struttura utilizzata per gli allenamenti. Questa duplice funzione, anche se rara, è utilizzata anche da altre squadre appartenenti alla D-League. Con l'inizio della stagione 2009-10, i Los Angeles D-Fenders hanno spostato alcune delle partite casalinghe al Toyota Sports Center dallo Staples Center. Dopo un anno di transizione, 2010-11, i D-Fenders sono tornati a giocare al Toyota Sports Center nel 2011-12. Il 21 agosto 2012 è stato annunciato che Dignity Health aveva firmato un accordo triennale che prevedeva di sponsorizzare la struttura, cambiandone il nome in Dignity Health Event Center con effetto immediato.

Discovery Cube Orange County

The Discovery Cube Orange County, formerly known as the Discovery Science Center, Taco Bell Discovery Science Center, or simply The Cube, is a science museum in Santa Ana, California, with more than 100 hands-on science exhibits designed to spark children's natural curiosity. Designed by the architecture firm Arquitectonica with structural engineers Carl Johnson and Svend Nielsen, it has become a visual landmark due to its ten-story solar array cube that stands over Interstate 5. History In 1984, the Boards of the Exploratory Learning Center (now the Heritage Museum of Orange County) and the Experience Center joined to form the Discovery Museum of Orange County with the dual goals of teaching children what life was like in Orange County in the 1900s and creating a world-class science center. A funding feasibility study in 1989 indicated that county leaders would support the project. In the mid-1990s, prior to construction, a smaller "beta" version of the science center called Launch Pad operated in South Coast Plaza. The current 59,000-square-foot (5,500 m2) facility was opened on December 17, 1998, in what had originally been a Bekins Van Lines depot. Mark Walhimer served as the Vice President of Exhibits from 1996 to 2000 and oversaw the design, development and installation of the exhibits. In 2008 the Center became an affiliate within the Smithsonian Affiliations program. On September 29, 2012, it was announced that the center was seeking to expand its facilities. Phase 1, opened on June 11, 2015, features the new 40,000 sq ft (3,700 m2) Discovery Pavilion and 4,000 sq ft (370 m2) of remodeled space. Future phases include a Life Sciences Hall, Courtyard of Learning and Living, Environmental Pavilion, an IMAX theater, and a "green" parking facility. Discovery Cube Los Angeles The center has also entered into a partnership with the City of Los Angeles to take over and operate the former Children's Museum of Los Angeles facility at Hansen Dam, located in the northern San Fernando Valley. The city provided financing and contracted with the center in April 2012, and the center finalized federal funding in January 2013 to finish construction on the existing facility and begin building exhibits. The satellite campus opened on November 13, 2014, and is named Discovery Cube Los Angeles. This is also the site of the 1991 Rodney King beating. Exhibits The center is divided into several themed areas: Science of Hockey, Dino Quest, Rocket Lab, Air & Space, Eco Challenge, Dynamic Earth, Quake Zone, and the Showcase Gallery which houses traveling exhibits. Some of the available exhibits at the museum include Dino Quest, an interactive work which opened in 2006 and includes life-size dinosaurs; and Science of Hockey, which opened in 2009 and presents the various scientific aspects behind the game of ice hockey with the help of the Anaheim Ducks franchise.

Dixie Schoolhouse

The Dixie Schoolhouse is a historic one-room schoolhouse located in San Rafael, Marin County, Northern California. It was built in 1864, in the Victorian Italianate style. History The school was the project of Irish immigrant and Marin County pioneer James S. Miller (1812–1890). A few traditions attempt to explain why Miller selected the name "Dixie", a nickname for the Southern United States. Some say the schoolhouse was built by Southern carpenters, while others believe the name honors Mary Dixie, a local Indian woman; still others believe that "Dixie" is derived from the French word for "ten". The school was in use for classes from 1864 until 1958. The Dixie School District (now the Miller Creek Elementary School District) got its name from this first school. The school district changed its name in 2020 after considering the association with the 11 states in the South that seceded from the U.S. to form the Confederacy. In June 1971, the schoolhouse was moved to its current location, near Miller Creek Middle School, also in San Rafael. It was restored and renovated prior to being listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. Museum The school is currently preserved by the Old Dixie School Foundation, and is open to the public for visits on the first Sunday of every month from 2-4 P.M.
