Crissy Field

Crissy Field ist ein im Presidio von San Francisco gelegener ehemaliger Flugplatz der United States Armed Forces, der heute als Teil der Golden Gate National Recreation Area zur Naherholung dient. Benannt nach dem bei einem Transkontinentalflug ums Leben gekommenen Major Dana Crissy war der 1921 fertiggestellte und in einem Marschgebiet am Rande der Bucht von San Francisco gelegene Militärflugplatz eine der ersten Einrichtungen zur Verteidigung der Westküste der Vereinigten Staaten durch Luftstreitkräfte. Im ersten Jahrzehnt nach seiner Inbetriebnahme im Jahr 1921 war Crissy Field Schauplatz einer Reihe von Rekorden im Bereich des Langstreckenfluges. Seine mit rund 900 Metern verhältnismäßig kurze Landebahn, häufig auftretender Nebel, ungünstige Windbedingungen und die verwundbare Lage nahe am Wasser verringerten allerdings den militärischen Nutzen des Flugplatzes. Mit dem Bau der Golden Gate Bridge konnte ein neuer Flugplatz am anderen Ufer der Bucht von San Francisco gebaut werden, 1936 eröffnete Hamilton Field nördlich von San Rafael und ersetzte Crissy Field weitgehend. Im Jahr 1974, kurz vor dem Ende des Vietnamkriegs, wurde Crissy Field für Flugzeuge geschlossen, der Flugbetrieb mit Hubschraubern jedoch noch ein paar Jahre weiter aufrechterhalten. Nach dem Abzug der Armee aus San Francisco im Jahre 1994 wurde das Presidio und damit auch Crissy Field unter die Verwaltung des National Park Service gestellt, der das Gelände heute als Teil des Golden Gate National Recreation Area betreut. Schwerwiegende Umweltschäden durch die militärische Nutzung machten eine aufwendige Renaturierung des Geländes notwendig, die im Jahr 2001 abgeschlossen wurde.

Crissy Field

Crissy Field is een plaats in de Golden Gate National Recreation Area, in het noordwesten van de Amerikaanse stad San Francisco (Californië). Het ligt aan de Baai van San Francisco, ten zuidoosten van de Golden Gate Bridge, omgeven door het Presidio en grenzend aan het Marina District in het oosten. Van 1921 tot 1974 werd Crissy Field, historisch deel van het Presidio, gebruikt als vliegveld. Wanneer het Amerikaanse leger in 1994 het Presidio als legerbasis sloot, werd Crissy Field – een onaantrekkelijke mengeling van asfalt en oude gebouwen – overgemaakt aan de National Park Service. De verontreinigde site werd opgekuist en ecologisch gerestaureerd en de gebouwen gerenoveerd. In 2001 opende Crissy Field als een openbaar park.
Croll Building

Die erste Version des Croll Building in Alameda, Kalifornien wurde 1879 im Vergnügungspark Croll's Gardens erbaut. 1908 wurde es an den heutigen Standort umgesetzt. Das heutige Croll Building diente als Croll’s Gardens and Hotel vielen Box-Legenden um die Jahrhundertwende (1883–1914) als Aufenthalt und Trainingsräumlichkeit. Bekannte Gäste waren James J. Corbett, Bob Fitzsimmons, Jim Jeffries und Jack Johnson. Heute beherbergt das Hotel ein Restaurant namens 1400 Bar & Grill, im ersten Stockwerk befindet sich ein Apartment-Hotel, und im zweiten Geschoß sind Büros. Die Ausstattung des Restaurants erinnert an jene Zeit, in welchem der benachbarte Vergnügungspark Neptune Beach in Betrieb war (1917–1939). Das Croll Building ist als bedeutsames, schützenswertes historisches Wahrzeichen anerkannt, sowohl vom Bundesstaat Kalifornien wie auch vom US-Innenministerium. Weblinks Einzelnachweise

Temecula Valley Unified School District

Temecula Valley Unified School District is a school district located in the southwestern portion of Riverside County, California, serving the city of Temecula and unincorporated parts of nearby Murrieta and French Valley. It is the fourth-largest school district in Riverside County by student population. The district's Board of Education elections take place in November of even-numbered years and elected members to serve four-year terms. The Board of Education is composed of five members, elected by geographical districts called Trustee Areas. Curriculum controversy After a conservative majority were elected to the school board in November 2022, they passed a resolution banning the teaching of critical race theory. In May 2023, the school board rejected social studies textbooks that had been approved by dozens of teachers and parents in a pilot program. The board was concerned that the proposed instructional material mentioned the LGBTQ+ community in material meant for children. It was also concerned about the mention of Harvey Milk, the first openly gay man to be elected to public office in California, calling him a "pedophile." Milk had engaged in a relationship with a 16-year old boy while he was 34, although the age of consent at the time was 16 in New York (where the relationship occurred). The age of consent in California is 18. With the current textbook no longer being printed, it was claimed that classes would be short of books needed by teachers for their students, although California Governor Gavin Newsom announced in July that the state is entering into a contract to secure textbooks for the district in time for the first day of school in August. In July 2023 the district's board of education decided to use the new textbook. The district also instituted a parental notification policy that requires district staff to tell parents when their child is requesting to use a name that is different from their legal name or to be identified as a different gender, though this practice was later banned in July 2024 by California Governor Gavin Newsom.

Cubberley Community Center

The Cubberley Community Center, known locally as "Cubberley", is a community center in Palo Alto, California, that has been in operation since 1990. It is housed on the campus of the former Ellwood P. Cubberley High School. Space is available for rent by the hour, either one-time or on a regular basis for community related meetings, seminars, social events, dances, theatre performances, music rehearsals and athletic events. History The Ellwood P. Cubberley High School opened in the Fall of 1956 and closed in 1979, as a result of budget cuts from California Proposition 13 (1978). Cubberley High School is perhaps best known as the setting of Ron Jones' 1967 social experiment The Third Wave, helping to teach Fascism. The high school was named after Ellwood P. Cubberley, an influential authority in the development of institutionalized education. The 35-acre property belongs to the Palo Alto Unified School District (PAUSD), and is leased to the City of Palo Alto. The larger remainder of this site, (approx. 39,000 square feet) was leased since 2002 to the Foothill-De Anza College District for the Middlefield Campus of Foothill College, a local community college. However, in 2016 this campus moved to Sunnyvale and with the loss of Foothill College as a tenent, this opened up more rentable space for other community-based organizations. The site boasts a track, a grassy school "amphitheater," and a gym, now used as sites for public running, recreation, and community athletics respectively. The Cubberley Community Center has been home to local interest organizations including; a ballroom dancing club, child care services, senior center, wildlife rescue organization, Palo Alto Vineyard Church, a Chinese reading room, kung fu classes, karate lessons, private artist studios, L’Ecole de Danse, the Palo Alto Chamber Orchestra, Bowman School, and many more. The Friends of the Palo Alto Library holds used book sales at Cubberley on the second Saturday of every month and the following Sunday, at three locations on campus. The Cubberley Community Center once hosted rock shows by local bands and touring artists including Buffalo Springfield, Santana, William Penn and His Pals, Cake, Third Eye Blind, blink-182, Daniel Tsai Band, and Frank Black.

Laboratori Nacional Lawrence de Livermore

El Laboratori Nacional Lawrence de Livermore (LLNL, sigles del Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) és un centre de recerca federal a Livermore (Califòrnia, Estats Units). El laboratori va crear-se l'any 1952 com a “Laboratori de Radiació de la Universitat de Califòrnia”, a mode de resposta a la detonació de la primera bomba atòmica per part de la Unió Soviètica durant la Guerra Freda. L'any 1971, va esdevenir autònom i, més tard, l'any 1981, va ser designat com a laboratori nacional. És un laboratori finançat pel govern federal i, principalment, pel Departament d'Energia dels Estats Units. La seva operació és de tipus privada, a càrrec de Lawrence Livermore National Security (una associació formada per la Universitat de Califòrnia, Bechtel, BWX Technologies, AECOM i el Battelle Memorial Institute amb l'afiliació del Texas A&M Univeristy System). L'any 2012, al laboratori s'hi va descobrir l'element químic sintètic livermori (element 116). Referències
