Bank Światowy

Bank Światowy (ang. World Bank) – instytucja finansowa, która rozpoczęła działalność jako efekt postanowień konferencji w Bretton Woods z lipca 1944, podobnie jak Międzynarodowy Fundusz Walutowy. Główną przesłanką dla jego stworzenia była chęć odbudowy zniszczonych II wojną światową krajów Europy i Japonii. Istotnym celem statutowym było wsparcie dla rozwijających się krajów Azji, Ameryki Łacińskiej i Afryki. Instytucja zrzesza 189 krajów członkowskich a jej siedzibą jest Waszyngton. Termin Bank Światowy odnosi się do dwóch z pięciu wyspecjalizowanych agencji ONZ, działających razem w Grupie Banku Światowego: Międzynarodowego Banku Odbudowy i Rozwoju (ang. The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development) Międzynarodowego Stowarzyszenia Rozwoju (ang. The International Development Association). Powszechnie używa się tego terminu na określenie jedynie banku. Pozostałe trzy agencje działające w ramach Grupy Banku Światowego to: Międzynarodowa Korporacja Finansowa Międzynarodowe Centrum Rozstrzygania Sporów Inwestycyjnych Agencja Wielostronnych Gwarancji Inwestycji. Bank Światowy wspiera rozwój gospodarczy w biedniejszych państwach świata poprzez doradztwo i długoterminowe pożyczki. Nie jest bankiem w ścisłym tego słowa znaczeniu. Zapewnia długoterminowe pożyczki o preferencyjnym oprocentowaniu dla najbardziej potrzebujących krajów członkowskich oraz przedsiębiorstw publicznych (po otrzymaniu gwarancji rządowych), dotacje, pomoc techniczną – wszystko do celów walki z ubóstwem i finansowania rozwoju takich dziedzin życia społecznego jak ochrona zdrowia, edukacja, ochrona środowiska, czy też rozbudowa infrastruktury. W zamian za to wymaga jednak pewnych działań politycznych, takich jak walka z korupcją, rozwój demokracji, czy też najważniejszego – rozwoju sektora prywatnego. Fundusze na udzielanie kredytów państwom słabiej rozwiniętym pochodzą ze składek państw członkowskich, spłaty przez państwa wcześniejszych długów oraz dzięki emisji obligacji na światowych rynkach kapitałowych. Prezesi Banku Światowego Prezesami Banku Światowego byli zawsze obywatele USA. Eugene Meyer (czerwiec 1946–grudzień 1946) John J. McCloy (marzec 1947–czerwiec 1949) Eugene R.

Svetovna banka je mednarodna finančna ustanova s sedežem v Washingtonu, D.C., ZDA, ki državam v razvoju nudi finančno in tehnično pomoč za razvojne programe s ciljem zmanjševanja revščine. Ustanovljena je bila 27. decembra 1945 predvsem za pomoč pri obnovi evropskih držav in Japonske po 2. svetovni vojni. Zadnji zastavljeni cilj Svetovne banke je zmanjševanje revščine. Sestavljata jo dve organizaciji: Mednarodbna banka za obnovo in razvoj (angleško International Bank for Reconstruction and Development ali IBRD) Mednarodna zveza za razvoj (angleško International Development Association, IDA) Skupina Svetovne banke pa ob omenjenih dveh organizacijah vsebuje še: Mednarodno finančno korporacijo (angleško International Finance Corporation ali IFC) Multilateralno agencijo za investicijske garancije (angleško Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency ali MIGA) Mednarodni center za reševanje investicijskih sporov (angleško International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes ali ICSID) Pri tem se termin Svetovna banka nanaša le na prvi od naštetih institucij. Predsednika za petletni mandat izvoli Odbor guvernerjev. Do sedaj so bili vsi predsedniki banke državljani ZDA, ki jih je predlagal predsednik ZDA, ki pa so največji delničar banke. Svetovna banka je ena izmed Specializiranih agencij Združenih narodov. Vloga in delovanje Delovanje banke je usmerjeno predvsem v države v razvoju, zlasti najmanj razvite, pri čemer sledi Razvojnim ciljem novega tisočletja. Srednje razvitim državam nudi posojila z obrestnimi merami, ki so nekoliko nad stroški financiranja, ki jih uživa sama kot institucija z oceno kreditne sposobnosti AAA; najmanj razvitim državam z omejenim dostopom do mednarodnih finančnih trgov pa preko Mednarodne zveze za razvoj nudi brezobrestna posojila ali posojila z minimalnimi obrestnimi merami in donacije. Sredstva Svetovne banke so običjano vezana tudi na določene zaveze prejemnic pomoči, kot npr. demokratizacija, uravnoteženje javnih financ, preprečevanje korupcije, reforme gospodarskega sistema in podobno. Posojila so namenjena za razne razvojne programe, večinoma za gradnjo cest in druge prometne infrastrukture, energetske infrastrukture in za šolstvo. Ob finančni pomoči pa državam članicam nudi tudi tehnično pomoč pri izvajanju reform, financira nevladne organizacije, izvaja gospodarske analize in raziskave na področju razvoja (npr. izračunava Indeks Človekovega razvoja ali HDI) ter deluje na drugih področjih povezanih z razvojem. Svetovno banko z donacijami financirajo razvite države, od teh so v njene sklade v obdobju od 2005-2008 največ prispevale ZDA s 13,8%, Združeno kraljestvo s 13,2%, Japonska z 12,2%, Nemčija z 8% in Francija s 7,1%. V naslednjem triletnem obdobju od 2008 do 2011 bo k 41 milijardam dolarjev največ prispevalo Združeno kraljestvo, Ljudska republika Kitajska pa bo prvič med donatorkami.

Peirce-Klingle Mansion

Peirce-Klingle Mansion, also known as Linnaean Hill, is a historic house in Rock Creek Park in Washington, D.C. It has been listed on the District of Columbia Inventory of Historic Sites since 1964 and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. It is a contributing property in the Rock Creek Park Historic District. History Joshua Peirce built the house in 1823 and named it Linnaean Hill after Carl Linnaeus, the Swedish botanist. Peirce, himself a horticulturist, introduced the box garden to Washington and supplied the first ornamental plantings to the White House, United States Capitol, and other government buildings. Notable members of Washington society, such as Senators Daniel Webster, John C. Calhoun, and Henry Clay were regular visitors to the house. Because Joshua Peirce died without any children, his estate passed to his nephew, Joshua Peirce Klingle, who lived in the house with his wife until 1890. That year, the house was bought by the United States government as a part of Rock Creek Park. Public Works Administration funds were used to restore the house and grounds in 1937. It was leased by the government as a private residence until 1952. The Junior Nature Center then leased the building until 1959, when it was leased to the Junior League of Washington for its administrative offices. The National Park Service took over the residence in 1972 and used it to house the green scene programs. Architecture The Peirce-Klingle Mansion is a three-story, ten-room house built in the Pennsylvania Dutch farmhouse style. The exterior is composed of blue and grey granite. The walls are 24 inches (61 cm) thick. An addition on the west side of the house was constructed in 1843. The poplar paneling in the stairwell and most of the mantelpiece are original to the house. A large fireplace that measures, 6 feet (2 m) long and 4 feet (1 m) high was uncovered during the 1937 renovation. A beehive oven was built into the wall beside it. A two-story stone and wood frame barn and carriage house are located to the east of the main house. It was built into the side of the hill permitting each floor to have its own entrance corresponding to its ground level. The two-story utility house is located behind and to the east of the main house. It is constructed of granite similar to that of the main house and is part of the design of the terrace wall. Like the barn and carriage house, it has entrances that correspond to their own ground level. The lower floor, however, cannot be accessed from the upper-floor because there is no interior stairway. A brick chimney was constructed when a modern furnace and water heater were installed. On the west end of the terrace is the potting shed, which is similar in design to the utility house. References

Santuario Nacional San Juan Pablo II

El Santuario Nacional San Juan Pablo II es un santuario católico situado en Washington D. C., Estados Unidos. Incluye una exposición de 16,000 pies cuadrados sobre la vida y el legado de San Juan Pablo II y dos espacios litúrgicos: La Iglesia Redemptor Hominis y la Capilla Luminous Mysteries. Historia Se creó como Centro Cultural Papa Juan Pablo II como consecuencia de una reunión celebrada en 1988, entre el Papa Juan Pablo II y el entonces obispo norteamericano Adam Maida, en la que se proyectó una institución con vocación de think tank para la exploración de caminos donde la fe y la cultura pudiesen cruzarse y avanzar a través de exposiciones, discusiones académicas, e investigaciones multidisciplinares. En 1997 comenzó la construcción de un edificio de 9.300 metros cuadrados, en una parcela de 12 acres (4,9 ha) en el campus de la Universidad Católica de América, cerca de la Basílica del Santuario Nacional de la Inmaculada Concepción. Se procedió a su inauguración en 2001, en una ceremonia a la que asistieron el entonces presidente norteamericano, George W. Bush, el gobernador de la Ciudad del Vaticano, el cardenal Szoka, y el nuncio apostólico en los Estados Unidos, el arzobispo Gabriel Montalvo. El 17 de abril de 2008, el Papa Benedicto XVI se reunió en el Centro Cultural Papa Juan Pablo II con más de 200 personalidades religiosas del Islam, Budismo, Hinduismo, y Judaísmo.​ Tras la beatificación de Juan Pablo II, el 1 de mayo de 2011, Carl Anderson, Caballero Supremo de los Caballeros de Colón, anunció el 2 de agosto de 2011 que esta institución compraría el Centro Cultural y lo transformaría en un santuario dedicado a la memoria de Juan Pablo II. El Cardinal Donald Wuerl, Arzobispo de Washington, declaró el templo inmediatamente como santuario diocesano. El 27 de abril de 2014, día de la Canonización de Juan Pablo II, el santuario fue renombrado Santuario Nacional San Juan Pablo II por la Conferencia de los Obispos Católicos de Estados Unidos.

Centrum Kultury Papieża Jana Pawła II w Waszyngtonie

Centrum Kultury Papieża Jana Pawła II (ang. Pope John Paul II Cultural Center) – muzeum i tzw. think tank znajdujące się w stolicy USA, Waszyngtonie. Muzeum wystawia dzieła sztuki pochodzące z Muzeum Watykańskiego oraz prezentuje interaktywne wystawy dotyczące religii, wiary, duchowości. W centrum znajduje się również instytut badawczy. Koncepcja powstania Centrum zawiązała się podczas spotkania Jana Pawła II z biskupem Adamem Maidą w 1989 roku. Budowa centrum rozpoczęła się w 1997 roku i została ukończona i uroczyście otwarta w marcu 2001 r. Centrum powstało na obszarze 4,9 ha przylegających do Uniwersytetu Katolickiego Ameryki (the Catholic University of America) oraz Bazyliki Niepokalanego Poczęcia (Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception). Po odejściu na emeryturę kardynała Maidy (2009) Centrum zaczęło podupadać ze względu na brak finansowania i mały ruch turystyczno-pielgrzymkowy. W wyniku czego Centrum zostało wystawione na sprzedaż. W roku 2011 Centrum zostało kupione przez świecki zakon Rycerzy Kolumba i zostało przekształcone w sanktuarium religijne poświęcone pamięci błogosławionego wówczas Jana Pawła II. Obecnie Centrum funkcjonuje jako część muzealno-wystawowa kompleksu budynków Narodowego Sanktuarium Świętego Jana Pawła II. Linki zewnętrzne Strona Centrum

It is located at 716 Jackson Place NW in Washington, D.C., on the western side of Lafayette Square. For ease of providing security, it was reserved for the exclusive use of former presidents of the United States during visits to the capital from 1969 to 2015, when that function was moved to Trowbridge House. Located across Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House, it adjoins several other government-owned townhouses used for official purposes, including Blair House, often used by visiting heads of state, and is now used by the Executive Office of the President. Description The townhouse is four stories, and has brown sandstone steps. During its time as a guesthouse for former presidents, it had two dining rooms, several bedrooms, and space for a Secret Service detail in the basement.

It was once the home of Supreme Court justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. Purchased by the government in the late 1950s and used for various purposes, the Presidential Townhouse was established in 1969 by order of President Richard Nixon. The furnishings were very sparse until it was refurbished using private funds during the administration of President George W. Bush (2001–2009). During its use as a residence for former presidents, its maintenance was funded through the Former Presidents Act, which provides for office support and Secret Service protection of former presidents. In 2015, the function of a presidential guest house was relocated a few doors south to Trowbridge House at 708 Jackson Place, NW. In 2021, the Office of the National Cyber Director began using the house. References
