National Geographic Society

A National Geographic Society (röviden: NGS) nevű egyesült államokbeli intézmény a világ egyik legnagyobb nonprofit tudományos és oktatási alapítványa. Tevékenysége kiterjed a földrajztudomány, az archeológia tudományaira, és a természettudományokra. A társaság természeti és történelmi értékek megóvásával is foglalkozik, kulturális tevékenységet is folytat. A szervezet jelképpé vált logója egy sárga téglalap, mely a társaság által kiadott magazin címlapját is szegélyezi. Áttekintés A National Geographic Society küldetése „A földrajzi ismeretek bővítése és terjesztése a világ kulturális és természeti értékeinek megőrzésével.” Ifjabb John M. Fahey szerint a társaság feladata arra késztetni az embereket, hogy törődjenek bolygójukkal. A szervezetet egy 23 fős csoport vezeti, mely a legkiválóbb oktatókból, vállalkozókból, politikusokból és természetvédőkből áll. A NGS számos tudományos kutatást, expedíciót támogat. Egy folyóiratot is kiad National Geographic Magazine néven. A havilap számos országban, köztük Magyarországon is megjelenik. A Society más magazinokat, könyveket, tankönyveket, térképeket, filmeket, ajándéktárgyakat és más termékeket is kiad többféle nyelven, különböző országokban. Egy oktatási alapot is működtet, mely iskolákat, szervezeteket és magánszemélyeket támogat, a világ földrajzi ismereteinek bővítése érdekében. A Kutatás és felfedezés bizottság a társaság történetének nagy részében támogatja a tudományos kutatásokat és nemrég volt a 9000. támogatás tudományos kutatásra a világon. A kutatások gyakran szerepelnek a médiájában, melyek a világon 360 millió emberhez jutnak el havonta.. A National Geographic egy múzeumot ingyen fenntart a közösségnek a washingtoni székhelyén és szponzorált népszerű utazó kiállításokat, például a "King Tut"-ot, amely bemutatta a műalkotásokat a fiatal egyiptomi fáraó sírjában, ami több amerikai városban is látható volt. Ez a kiállítás jelenleg Atlantában látható. Egy másik National Geographic kiállítás a "The Cultural Treasures of Afghanistan" (Afganisztán kulturális kincsei), amely 2008 májusában nyílt meg a washingtoni National Gallery f Art-ban. A kiállítás a következő 18 hónapban látható lesz Houston Museum of Fine Arts-ban (Houston-i Képzőművészeti Múzeum), az Asian Art Museumban (Ázsiai Művészetek Múzeuma), San Franciscoban, és a Metropolitan Museumban (Városi Múzeum) New York városban.

Национальное географическое общество

Национальное географическое общество (англ. National Geographic Society) — одна из крупнейших научных и образовательных организаций США. Было основано 27 января 1888 года в Вашингтоне. История Обсуждать образование общества начали 13 января 1888 года в частном «Космос-клубе» (en:Cosmos Club), располагавшемся на площади Лафайетт возле Белого дома (en:President's Park). Национальное географическое общество было основано в Вашингтоне 27 января 1888 года 33 исследователями, представителями элиты США и учёными, которые получили приглашения обсудить «целесообразность организации общества, способствующего преумножению и распространению географических знаний». Под словом география понимались разные дисциплины науки. На основании присутствовали Адольф Вашингтон Грили, Гардинер Грин Хаббард, Джордж Кеннан, первый американский исследователь Аляски Уильям Долл и др. Гардинер Грин Хаббард через 2 недели в феврале был выбран первым президентом, и его зять Александр Грэм Белл, в итоге продолжил его деятельность на этом посту в 1897 году после его смерти. Через 9 месяцев в октябре 1888 года вышел первый номер National Geographic Magazine, у которого было всего 217 подписчиков. В 1961 году США посетила делегация советских географов, возглавляемая директором Института географии АН СССР И. П. Герасимовым. В 1963 году с визитом в США приехал вице-президент Географического общества СССР С. В. Калесник, вместе с президентом Американской ассоциация географов Чонси Гаррисом он устанавливал связи Географического общества СССР с Национальным географическим обществом. В 1969 году астронавты «Аполлона-12» доставили знамя NGS на поверхность Луны. В 1986 году пилотируемый подводный аппарат Алвин участвовал в исследовании обломков Титаника и многие из фотографий экспедиции были опубликованы в журнале Национального географического общества, которое было главным спонсором экспедиции. Здание бывшего «Космос-клуба» теперь является штаб-квартирой NGS и там проводят торжественные приёмы. Издания Фильмография Телевидение См. также Примечания Ссылки Официальный сайт (англ.)

Japanische Botschaft in Washington, D.C.

Die Japanische Botschaft in Washington, D.C., ist die diplomatische Vertretung von Japan den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika. Sie befindet sich an der Embassy Row in Washington, D.C. und widmet sich der Pflege der diplomatischen Beziehungen zwischen Japan und den Vereinigten Staaten. Das Gebäude wurde von Delano und Aldrich im späten Neu-Georgianischen Stil mit asiatischen Elementen gestaltet und im Gegensatz zu vielen der älteren Gebäude an der Embassy Row von Anfang an als Botschaftsgebäude vorgesehen. Es steht seit 1973 im National Register of Historic Places. 1960 folgte im stadtbekannten japanischen Garten der Botschaft ein altes Teehaus von Nahiko Emori, das im Original in Japan stand und zum 100-jährigen Jubiläum der Diplomatischen Beziehung auseinandergebaut, in die USA verschifft und dort wieder zusammengebaut wurde. Besonders als Ausflugsziel ist das Gelände zur Zeiten der Kirschblüte beliebt, die auch für ganz Washington, D.C. eine Bedeutung hat. Die Bäume auf dem Botschaftsgelände gelten aber als besonders eindrucksvoll. Anmerkungen Weblinks Website der Botschaft (englisch oder japanisch)

Swartzell, Rheem and Hensey Company Building

The Swartzell, Rheem and Hensey Company Building is a neo-classical building on 727 15th Street NW, Washington DC. It was designed by architect Paul J. Pelz in 1907 for a local brokerage firm, which neighbored other brokers in this section of 15th Street neighboring the US Treasury. In 1948 the building was converted into a movie theater and renamed Playhouse Theater. The theater closed in the early 1980s and an apartment block was built above what had until then been a low-rise building. References

Union Square (Washington, D.C.)

Union Square is an 11-acre public plaza at the foot of Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., United States. It encompasses the Ulysses S. Grant Memorial (1924) and the 6-acre Capitol Reflecting Pool (1971) and is just west of the United States Capitol building. Views differ as to whether the Square is just east of the National Mall or is itself the eastern end. Interstate 395 transits the Third Street Tunnel just beneath Union Square. The George Gordon Meade Memorial (1927) formerly stood in the northwest section of Union Square; that memorial now stands near the intersection of Constitution Avenue and Pennsylvania Avenue, NW. History The area constituting Union Square was originally part of the U.S. Capitol complex, but beginning in the 1930s the National Park Service assumed jurisdiction over the site. In 2012 the Trust for the National Mall selected Seattle-based landscape architects Gustafson Guthrie Nichol (GGN) and New York-based architects Davis Brody Bond (DBB) for the redesign of Union Square. The winning design was judged on flexibility, sustainability, and creativity of their design and how well it reflected the established vision and design influences of this historic setting. However, the 112th United States Congress enacted the Legislative Branch Appropriations Act, 2012, which transferred to the Architect of the Capitol the NPS "property which is bounded on the north by Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest, on the east by First Street Northwest and First Street Southwest, on the south by Maryland Avenue Southwest, and on the west by Third Street Southwest and Third Street Northwest". The Act removed Union Square from NPS jurisdiction. The transfer of ownership occasioned some controversy as the NPS and the Trust for The National Mall had planned to enhance the area to accommodate political demonstrations, gatherings and entertainment events. The NPS expressed surprise at the move and some advocates for protest groups complained, asserting that the Architect of the Capitol and the United States Capitol Police (who were now responsible for security) were likely to be less tactful and accommodating to demonstrators than the Park Police. A Washington Post writer stated: "Although definitions of what constitutes the [National] Mall vary, the [2011] provision, in a sense, moves its easternmost boundary west — from First Street to Third Street."

Union Square (Washington, D.C.)

Union Square est une place publique de 11 acres située au pied du quartier résidentiel Capitol Hill à Washington, DC. Elle englobe le Mémorial Ulysses S. Grant (1924) et le Capitol Reflecting Pool (1971). Elle se trouve située juste à l'ouest du Capitole. Les opinions divergent quant à savoir si la place est juste à l'est du National Mall ou si elle en est elle-même l'extrémité orientale. Le tunnel de l'Interstate 395 passe sous Third Street, juste en dessous de Union Square. Le Mémorial de George Gordon Meade (1927) se trouvait autrefois dans la section nord-ouest de Union Square ; il a été déplacé et relocalisé depuis ce temps près de l'intersection de l'avenue de la Constitution et de Pennsylvania Avenue, NW. Histoire L'espace constituant Union Square faisait partie à l'origine du complexe du Capitole. Au début des années 1930, le National Park Service a assumé la juridiction sur le site. En 2011, le 112e Congrès des États-Unis a voté une loi qui transféra à "Architect of the Capitol (en)" (AOC), une agence fédérale, la responsabilité de la gestion du site. Cette loi écartait ainsi le National Park Service de ses anciennes prérogatives concernant Union Square. Il en résulta une controverse: le Service des parcs nationaux avait prévu d'aménager l'espace pour accueillir des manifestations politiques, des rassemblements et des événements de divertissement.

Fazl Mosque, Washington, D.C.

The Fazl Mosque in Washington, D.C. was established by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in 1950 and is the first mosque in the U.S. capital of Washington, D.C. Its full title is the American Fazl Mosque, which helps to distinguish it from its sister mosque, the Fazl Mosque, London, both of which were the first mosques in the capitals of the U.S. and the U.K., respectively. Located a few minutes from the White House, and neighboring several embassies, Fazl Mosque opened seven years prior to the Islamic Center of Washington and is the longest serving mosque in the nation's capital. Sir Zafrullah Khan, who in addition to serving as president of the United Nations General Assembly and President of the International Court of Justice at the Hague, was a companion of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (1835–1908), as well as a notable scholar of Islam. The mosque served as the headquarters of the Ahmadiyya movement in the United States from 1950 until 1994, when it was moved to Baitur Rehman Mosque in Silver Spring, Maryland. The American Fazl Mosque was built as a private residence in 1912. The Colonial Revival-style building is designated as a contributing property to the Sheridan-Kalorama Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Miller House (Washington, D.C.)

Miller House is a mansion on the Embassy Row section of Massachusetts Avenue in Washington, D.C. It has been described as "the finest surviving mansion" designed by Paul J. Pelz, the main architect of the Library of Congress. History 20th century Designed by Pelz in the Northern Renaissance style, the house was built in 1900-01 for Commander Frederick Augustus Miller (1842–1909). Because Miller had been a U.S. Navy officer during the U.S. Civil War the house includes a number of maritime motifs, including the statue of a ship's cat on the ledge facing Massachusetts Avenue. The house was sold by Miller's widow in 1913 and changed hands several times afterwards. During most of the 1920s it was owned by Washington developer Harry Wardman or his business partners. In 1923–26 it was leased to the Costa Rican and Salvadorean Legations. Like many mansions in Northwest Washington, D.C., it was then divided into apartments during the Great Depression and rented as a boarding house. In the early 1960s it was owned by Oscar Cox, who in 1940–41 had been instrumental in drafting and administering the Lend-Lease Act. In 1984, the house's owner, Scott McLeod, started its renovation. During the works that same year, a fire destroyed many of the house's internal features. The owner decided to preserve and repair the exterior structure and to rebuild inside on a design by Richard Ridley, a local architect and author of the Washington Post's Making Space column from 1982 to 1988. The project was completed in 1986 and won a Dupont Circle Conservancy Historic Preservation Award. 21st century In the early 21st century, the house has been managed by a condominium association under the name "Argyle House". An integral part of the house is the former garage on 22nd Street, also built in 1900–01 and "apparently the first [automobile garage] in Washington," actually intended for an electric car. From 1986 to 2009 it was used by Olga Hirshhorn, widow of entrepreneur and philanthropist Joseph Hirshhorn, to host part of her art collection. Hirschhorn named the 500-square-foot structure her "Mouse House", in playful reference to the house's cat statue. In 2009 the contents of the "Mouse House" were displayed at the Bruce Museum of Arts and Science in Greenwich, Connecticut and then at the Baker Museum in Naples, Florida where they have since been donated to the permanent exhibition. In media In its January 2020 issue, Washingtonian included the rooftop cat sculpture as Ceramic Cat among its list of 93 "hidden gems" in Washington D.C., titled "Off-the-Beaten-Path Things to See and Do".

Skate Park at RFK Campus

Skate Park at RFK Campus, formerly known as Maloof Skate Park, is a 15,000-square-foot skate park on the RFK Stadium campus in Washington D.C. The park opened in 2011 for a million dollars by funds provided by the Maloof Money Cup. After the inaugural Maloof Money Cup DC in September 2011 was hosted here, the park remained closed to the public, and although there were rumors of deconstruction, the park is now open for day use. The design of the park was inspired by features in Freedom Plaza, and the urban architecture up and down Pennsylvania Avenue. Features include a great number of steps, jumps, ledges, rails, a 4 ft quarter pipe, and a 5–6 ft vert wall. The features vary in size and the park is suitable for beginner to advanced skaters.
