Francis Scott Key Memorial

Francis Scott Key Memorial is a park and memorial located in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, D.C., at the intersection of 34th and M Streets, NW. Established in 1993, this 0.77 acre (3,104 m²) site is administered by the National Park Service as a part of Rock Creek Park, but is not contiguous with that park. Situated adjacent to the northeast corner of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, the park abuts to Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Towpath. History At the time of the establishment of Washington, D.C., Francis Scott Key Park was located within the existing municipality of Georgetown in Montgomery County, Maryland. The land was acquired by the National Capital Park Commission pursuant to the Capper-Crampton Act of May 29, 1930. The park was dedicated to Francis Scott Key, author of "The Star-Spangled Banner", and donated by the Francis Scott Key Foundation to the National Park Service in 1993. Landmarks and features At the center of the park is a brownstone brick plaza covered by a limestone pergola draped in wisteria. The centerpiece is a bronze bust of Francis Scott Key by sculptor Betty Mailhouse Dunston. To the sides are interpretative signs. Within the park flies a 15-star, 15-stripe replica of the flag that flew over Fort McHenry when Key wrote "The Star-Spangled Banner".

Little Forest Park

Little Forest Park, formerly Francis G. Newlands Park, an undeveloped park located in the District of Columbia neighborhood of Chevy Chase; North of Military Rd., between 28th & 30th Sts., NW. This 8.78 acre (3.55 hectares) site is administered by the National Park Service as a part of Rock Creek Park History When the District was authorized by Congress in 1790, the land in the area of the park was farmland raising wheat and tobacco, but the park was likely wood land as it was too steep and rough for farming. It remained as farmland until the late 1880s. Beginning in 1887, Francis G. Newlands, later to become a member of United States House of Representatives and United States Senate from Nevada and William Morris Stewart, former Senator from Nevada, began purchasing property west of Rock Creek Park. They formed the Chevy Chase Land Development Company, which developed the neighborhoods of Chevy Chase, Washington, D.C.; and Chevy Chase, Maryland. In 1939, Edith McAllister Newlands, widow of Senator Newlands, died and left 3 acres that she designated by her as "little forest" to the District as a memorial to her husband. In 1942, her estate transferred the property to the District, while her daughters transferred an additional 5.7 acres. In 1948, the land was transferred to the National Park Service under the condition that it be held in memory of Senator Newlands. It remains as a memorial to the present day. As of 2011, the National Park Service lists the park as Little Forest - Formerly Francis G. Newlands Park in an inventory of properties in the District. Landmarks and features The park remains mostly undeveloped other than a couple of walking trails established by residents in the neighborhood. References
Bender Arena

Bender Arena is a 4,500-seat multi-purpose arena in Washington, D.C. The arena opened in 1988. It is home to the men's and women's basketball, volleyball, and wrestling teams at American University. The arena, named for Washington, D.C.–based philanthropists, Howard and Sondra Bender, is also the primary campus venue for concerts, commencement, and speakers, seating up to 6,000. The arena's main court is named for the late former American University athletic director and coach Stafford H. "Pop" Cassell, another AU alum. Bender Arena's current main scoreboard, installed prior to the 2001–02 season, includes a 7-by-9-foot (2.1 by 2.7 m) animation and video display and advertising signage for corporate sponsors. At the same time new chairback seating for the west bleachers was installed and new back-lit scorers tables surrounding the playing surface were added. Bender Arena is the flagship facility of the American University Sports Center, which also includes a fitness center, wrestling room, the Reeves Aquatic Center, a mini-mall, the campus store, and a 470-car, seven-level parking garage. The 300,000-square-foot (28,000 m2) building is adjacent to the Mary Graydon Center, a design intended to increase campus interaction. AU students are able to go to class, have dinner, attend a game or concert and stop by the Tavern or The Eagles Nest convenience store for refreshments without ever leaving the confines of the building. In addition, the facility houses the athletics department and health and fitness offices. Both buildings virtually mark the geographic center of the American University campus. Bender hosted the 2002, 2008, and 2009 Patriot League men's basketball tournament final and 2012 National Wrestling Coaches Association All-Star Classic. The American University gymnastics club team uses the wrestling room in the fitness center. The arena has also played host to many concerts, including Pearl Jam in November 1991 opening for the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Phish, who played Bender Arena during their New Year's run in 1993.

Ethel Kennedy Bridge

Die Ethel Kennedy Bridge ist eine Balkenbrücke über dem Anacostia River in Washington D.C., benannt nach Ethel Kennedy, Menschenrechtsaktivistin und Witwe des US-Justizministers Robert F. Kennedy. Geschichte Über die Jahre 1797 veranlasste der Bundesstaat Maryland mit dem Politiker Benjamin Stoddert den Bau einer Brücke über dem Anacostia River, einem Nebenfluss des Potomac Rivers. Als 1805 das Recht auf Brückenbau etabliert wurde, gründete Stoddert die Anacostia Bridge Co. Im selben Jahr wurde mit Kosten in Höhe von $20.000 eine Holzbrücke errichtet. Während des Britisch-Amerikanischen Krieges im Jahr 1812 kam die Brücke durch Brand zu Schaden, um die Briten von einer Invasion Washingtons abzuhalten. 1815 wurde sie vom Doktor Thomas Ewell restauriert. Im Januar 1933 begann der Bau einer Ersatzbrücke aus Stahl, die am 18. Dezember 1934 eröffnet wurde. 1975 wurde der westliche Brückenteil erneut ersetzt, bevor sich 1990 herausstellte, dass die gesamte Brücke eine Erneuerung benötigte. Folglich wurden zwei neue Brücken erbaut, von denen eine über dem Kingman Lake im Jahre 2000 errichtet wurde. 2008 diskutierte das Bezirksamt erstmals eine Umbenennung, um die Brücke der Menschenrechtsaktivistin Ethel Kennedy zu widmen, die sich jahrelang für den Umweltschutz in der Umgebung des Anacostia Rivers einsetzte. Außerdem wurde nach ihrem Ehemann, dem ermordeten Justizminister Robert F. Kennedy, 1969 ein Stadion in der Nähe zum Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium umbenannt. Am 20. Mai 2014 wurde die Brücke zeremoniell in Ethel Kennedy Bridge umbenannt.

Blanche K. Bruce House

The Blanche K. Bruce House is a historic house at 909 M Street NW in Washington, D.C. Built in 1865, it was a home of slave-born Blanche K. Bruce (1 March 1841 – 17 March 1898), who was the first African-American to serve a full term in the U.S. Senate, and his wife Josephine. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1975. It was successfully nominated to the National Register of Historic Places by the Afro-American Bicentennial Corporation on May 15, 1975. Description and history The Blanche K. Bruce House is located in the southernmost part of Washington's Shaw neighborhood, on the north side of M Street between 9th and 10th Streets. It is one half of a duplex, a 3+1⁄2-story structure, with walls of brick and a brick foundation, and a slate mansard roof providing a full fourth floor. The two building units have virtually identical exteriors, with a three-bay ground floor with the entrance in the left bay, and two bays in each of the upper floors. Ground floor windows are set in rounded-arch openings, as are third-floor windows, which rise into the elongated mansard roof's steep section. The short fourth floor is capped by a dentillated edge at the transition between the roof sections. The house was built in 1865 and is fairly typical of the Second Empire architecture then popular; its designer is unknown. It was the home of Blanche Bruce, who represented Mississippi as a United States senator from 1875 to 1881. Bruce was the first African-American to serve a full term in the Senate; during his tenure he also briefly served as the Presiding Officer of the United States Senate in 1879, the only former slave to do so. During his term, Bruce advocated for the integration of the United States Army, and for policies supporting the needs of poor (and recently freed) African Americans. Bruce remained in Washington after his term ended in 1881, serving as the Register of the Treasury, the District's recorder of deeds, and as a trustee of Howard University.

The Washington Times

The Washington Times és un periòdic publicat a Washington. Va ser fundat l'any 1982 com una alternativa conservadora al Washington Post pels membres de l'Església de la Unificació. Relació amb l'Església d'Unificació Església de la Unificació i el reverent Sun Myung Moon són els veritables fundadors del diari The Washington Times. Molts creuen que la creació del Washington Times és per l'Església d'Unificació una manera de guanyar influència política a Washington. The Washington Times era també el diari favorit del President Ronald Reagan. Encara que la propietat és de l'Església d'Unificació, el diari al·lega la seva independència de l'Església, i també es jacta que no propaguen directament les ensenyances de l'Església. A més de donar suport a diverses organitzacions cristianes conservadores, s'ocupa d'altres qüestions com la llibertat religiosa per a tota la comunitat cristiana, la no ingerència governamental en la vida familiar, excepte per descoratjar la formació de les famílies gais, la lluita contra la pornografia infantil i altres violacions dels valors que són els seus. Independència editorial Els crítics han argumentat que The Washington Times era de fet la veu de l'Església d'Unificació, i va assenyalar que les pàgines del diari estan sovint d'acord amb les seves accions. Malgrat alguns reporters del diari han intentat demostrar la seva independència enfront de l'església, el seu fundador a fet declaracions que posen en dubte aquesta qüestió. Una vegada el reverend Moon va declarar que "The Washington Times" era un instrument per difondre la paraula de Déu en el món". Enllaços externs Web oficial del diari

The Washington Times je deník založený 1982 ve Washingtonu, D.C. Son-mjong Munem (Sun Myung Moon) a vlastněný společností News World Communications. Po uzavření The Washington Star v roce 1981 zůstal v hlavním městě USA pouze jeden (liberálně orientovaný) deník Washington Post. Společnost News World Communications převzala krachující Star, vybudovala konzervativní Washington Times a vytvořila tak jediný konkurenční deník k Post. K 21. červnu 2007 měly Times průměrný denní náklad 102 351 výtisků, což je zhruba jedna sedmina nákladu konkurenčního The Washington Post. Poměr reklamy ve Washington Times byl 35 %, přičemž průmyslový standard (v USA) činí 50–60 %. V roce 2009 byl denní náklad 67 148 výtisků a k listopadu 2010 je denní náklad 38 587 výtisků. V roce 2008 bylo změněno vedení Washington Times a o rok později bylo pozastaveno financování ze strany skupiny blízké zakladateli. V roce 2010 byl na vlastnickou společnost Washington Times LCC uvalen konkurz a 2. listopadu byl deník prodán této skupině za symbolický 1 dolar.

The Washington Times

The Washington Times es un periódico diario de gran formato publicado en Washington D. C., la capital de los Estados Unidos. Fue fundado en 1982 por el fundador de la Iglesia de la Unificación, Sun Myung Moon, y ha sido subvencionado por la comunidad de la misma. El Washington Times es conocido por su postura conservadora en temas sociales y políticos.​ Fundación y línea editorial The Washington Times fue fundado en 1982 por el millonario surcoreano Sun Myung Moon, líder de la Iglesia de la Unificación, también conocida como "Secta Moon", ya que es considerada una secta por la mayoría de los medios.​​ Moon ha llegado a decir de sí mismo que es el Mesías y la Segunda venida de Cristo, además del encargado del cumplimiento de la misión inconclusa de Jesús.​ En el momento de la fundación del Times, en la ciudad de Washington solo había un periódico importante, el The Washington Post. Massimo Introvigne, en su libro de 2000 The Unification Church Studies in Contemporary Religion, afirmó que el Post había sido "el periódico más anti-unificacionista de los Estados Unidos."​ El ex redactor de discursos para el presidente George W. Bush y periodista neoconservador David Frum, en su libro de 2000 How We Got Here: The '70s, escribió que Moon había concedido total independencia editorial al Times.​ En un ensayo de 2008 publicado en Harper's Magazine, el historiador Thomas Frank vinculó al Times al moderno movimiento conservador americano, diciendo: Historia El Times fue fundado el año siguiente de la desaparición del Washington Star, el anterior "segundo diario" del D. C., retirado después de operar durante más de 100 años. Un gran porcentaje del personal inicial del Times procedía del Star. En sus inicios, era inusual entre los periódicos serios de Estados Unidos la publicación de una página completa a color en la portada, y el Times fue innovador en este aspecto, adoptado después por los principales diarios norteamericanos. En 1994, el Times presentó una edición nacional de fin de semana, especialmente dirigida a los lectores conservadores de todo el país.​ A partir de 2008, el diario comenzó a realizar algunos cambios en la terminología utilizada, mostrándose menos radical hacia determinados grupos y asuntos sociales, eliminando términos frecuentes como "extranjeros ilegales", "homosexuales" o "«matrimonio» gay" por otros como "inmigrantes ilegales", "gays" o "matrimonio gay".​ En 2009, el New York Times criticó en un editorial la comparación de las reformas sanitarias propuestas por el nuevo gabinete de Barack Obama en los Estados Unidos con las políticas de la Alemania nazi.​ En enero de 2010, en el marco de la crisis económica de 2008-2009 que afectó seriamente a los medios de comunicación, el Times despidió a 370 empleados, lo que significaba el 40 % de su plantilla, además de reducir su tirada solo de lunes a viernes, en la mayor crisis sufrida por el diario en toda su historia.​ Referencias Enlaces externos Wikimedia Commons alberga una categoría multimedia sobre The Washington Times.

The Washington Times

The Washington Times su dnevne novine iz Washingtona, glavnog grada SAD-a. Utemeljio ih je 1982. godine Sun Myung Moon, koji je osnovao Crkvu ujedinjenja. Do 2010. je godine vlasnikom bio međunarodni konglomerat News World Communications koji je združen s Crkvom Ujedinjenja, a koji je također vlasnikom tiskovina u Južnoj Koreji, Japanu i Južnoj Americi. Washington Times je poznat po tome što iskazuje konzervativne socijalne i političke stavove. Kad se The Washington Times pojavio 1982. godine, dotada vladajući The Washington Post dobio i prvu ozbiljniju konkurenciju. Washington Times se pojavio kao gradski list koji se nastojao lokalnim čitateljima predstaviti kao desna, odnosno konzervativna alternativa Posta, a koji je naslijedio većinu suradnika dotadašnjeg glavnog takmaca Washington Posta, The Washington Stara, koji je bankrotirao. Politička orijentacija ovog lista je desna konzervativna. U odnosu prema Hrvatskoj, po napisima nekih novinara se može opisati kao list sklon Hrvatskoj, osobito prema hrvatskoj umjerenoj desnici. List je vrlo kritički protiv komunističkih kadrova iz bivšeg sustava koji su zadržali način razmišljanja. 2010-ih je kritizirao HDZ zbog sluganske politike prema EU i politike ulaska u EU po svaku cijenu ("rasprodaja Hrvatske"), korupcije u istoj stranci među ljudima koji su zloporabili hrvatski nacionalni zanos. Također je iskritizirao rad i presudu Haaškog tribunala hrvatskim generalima Gotovini i Markaču, a sami HDZ je nazvao izdajničkim, da je izdao Gotovinu, hrv. ratne veterane i neovisnost, da bi ga trebalo poraziti i zamijeniti novom konzervativnom strankom koja će zbilja biti domoljubna i populistička.
