Dr. Franklin E. Kameny House

The Dr. Franklin E. Kameny House in the Northwest Quadrant of Washington, D.C., is a two-story, brick Colonial Revival-style house built in 1955, with a screened porch and a one-car garage. It is significant for its association with gay rights activist Franklin E. Kameny (1925–2011), having served as his home and office, and as a headquarters for gay civil rights organizing. History Kameny, who is said to have "spear-headed the new militancy in the gay rights movement," moved to Washington in the 1950s. He was fired from the US Army's Map Service in 1957 because he was gay. Kameny went on to co-found the Mattachine Society of Washington and is considered the father of gay activism. Kameny moved into the house in 1962, and it remained his residence for nearly 40 years. According to the National Park Service, the Kameny House served as a meeting place, archives, informal counseling center, headquarters of the Mattachine Society, and a safe haven for visiting gay and lesbian activists. It was here that Dr. Franklin E. Kameny developed the civil rights strategies and tactics that have come to define the modern gay rights movement. According to The Washington Post staff writer, Petula Dvorak, it was from his house on Cathedral Avenue that Kameny led his campaign against sodomy laws, helped overturn the American Psychiatric Association's definition of homosexuality as a mental illness, lobbied against the federal government's refusal to grant security clearances to homosexuals, and became "the first openly gay candidate to run for Congress". In 2009, the building was designated as a D.C. Historic Landmark, because, "for 13 fiery years, it was the epicenter of the gay rights movement in the nation's capital." The designation was considered unusual at the time, because Kameny was still alive and living in the house at the time of its landmark designation. On November 2, 2011, the building was also listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. The listing was announced as the featured listing in the National Park Service's weekly list. The nomination, written in 2006, stated that it was unusual as a NRHP nomination in that the person for whom the property is significant was still alive. Kameny died at his home on October 11, 2011, less than a month before the house was finally listed on the NRHP. See also List of LGBT monuments and memorials References

Fontaine du rond-point Dupont

La fontaine du rond-point Dupont est une œuvre conçue et réalisée par l'architecte Henry Bacon et les sculpteurs Daniel Chester French et les frères Piccirilli. Elle est située au rond-point Dupont à Washington. Elle fut érigée en l'honneur du contre-amiral Samuel Francis Du Pont. À l'origine, un monument représentant l'officier fut érigé à cet emplacement, en 1884, pour lui rendre hommage. La statue, qui fut l'œuvre du sculpteur américano-irlandais Launt Thompson (en), fut relocalisée en 1920 à Wilmington, ville du Delaware. En remplacement de ce monument, une fontaine fut installée au même endroit, la même année et inaugurée l'année suivante, le 17 mai 1921. Les trois figures représentent les arts de la navigation. La mer est symbolisée par un personnage féminin tenant un bateau d'une main et caressant une mouette avec l'autre avec un dauphin à ses pieds. Le vent est symbolisé par un personnage masculin drapé par la voile d'un navire, sa main gauche tenant une coquille de conque. Il préside à la destinée des marins et des amiraux. Les étoiles sont symbolisées par un personnage féminin tenant un globe. Notes et références Articles connexes Sculptures extérieures à Washington, D.C.

Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial

Das Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial in Washington, D.C. ist ein National Memorial in Washington, D.C., USA. Es erinnert an Dwight D. Eisenhower, den 34. Präsidenten der Vereinigten Staaten. 1999 hat der Kongress der Vereinigten Staaten der Anlage eines Memorials für Eisenhower offiziell zugestimmt, die dafür gegründete Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial Commission ist u. a. für die Auswahl des Entwurfs zuständig. Der im Jahr 2005 ausgewählte Entwurf von Frank Gehry war stark umstritten und wurde von ihm mehrfach überarbeitet. Die Fertigstellung des Memorials erfolgte 2020. Die Einweihung war zum 8. Mai 2020 geplant, dem 75. Jahrestag des VE-Day, wurde aber wegen der COVID-19-Pandemie auf den 17. September 2020 verschoben. Das Denkmal, das einen kompletten Block (4 Acres = 1,6 Hektar) zwischen dem National Air and Space Museum und dem Bildungsministerium der Vereinigten Staaten einnimmt, besteht aus überlebensgroßen Bronzestatuen des Bildhauers Sergey Eylanbekov mit dazugehörenden Inschrifttafeln aus Sandstein, die in drei Stationen das Leben Eisenhowers als Junge, als SHAEF-Oberbefehlshaber (Supreme Commander, Allied Expeditionary Force) während des Zweiten Weltkriegs und als Präsident würdigt. Dahinter erhebt sich ein 136 m langer und 18 m hoher (447 feet x 60 feet) Teppich, ein beleuchtbares Geflecht aus rostfreien Stahlseilen, das den Pointe du Hoc darstellt. Am D-Day, während der Operation Overlord im Zweiten Weltkrieg, schaltete hier ein US-amerikanisches Ranger-Bataillon deutsche Stellungen aus. Der Teppich, der in der ursprünglichen Planung das Denkmal an drei Seiten umfassen sollte, wurde vom Architekten und Künstler Tomas Osinski in Zusammenarbeit mit Gehry entworfen und von Pfeifer FabriTec, der US-Tochter der Pfeifer Holding, hergestellt.

Sustav federalnih rezervi

FED (Federal Reserve District) ili Sustav federalnih rezervi je privatna institucija koja je ovlaštena za regulaciju i kontrolu financijskih i monetarnih institucija i tržišta u SAD-u. Utemeljen je 1913. godine Zakonom o FED-u. Isprva nije bio dobro prihvaćen jer je smatran oblikom centralizirane vlasti. U to vrijeme SAD-om su vladali bankovni bankroti, gubitci deponenata, a 1907. bili su toliko izraženi da je potreba za stvaranjem središnje banke bila neminovna. U vrijeme kad je osnovan FED, većina zemalja već je imala emisijsku banku (Engleska i Švedska od 17. stoljeća), ali su te banke bile različitog porijekla od FED-a. Te su banke bile privatne i bavile su se financiranjem problema kraljeva, da bi se tijekom vremena razvile u moderne emisijske banke, te postale javne institucije. FED je konstituiran u emisijsku banku koja vodi monetarnu politiku SAD-a decentralizirano koliko god je to moguće. Organizacija FED-a Vijeće guvernera Ima 7 članova sa sjedištem u Washingtonu. Imenuje ih predsjednik SAD-a u dogovoru sa Senatom na četrnaestogodišnji mandat. Jedan od članova Vijeća ujedno je i predsjednik Vijeća. Regionalne banke federalne rezerve Ima 12 banaka, a svaka za jedan distrikt. Njujorška federalna banka ima posebnu ulogu jer primjenjuje neke od najznačajnijih odluka monetarne politike. Federalni komitet otvorenog tržišta On kreira politiku FED-a. Formiraju ga predsjednik Vijeća guvernera, 6 članova Vijeća guvernera, predsjednik federalne rezervne banke New Yorka i 4 ostala regionalna FED-a. Instrumenti FED-a Obvezna rezerva Sve depozitne institucije u SAD-u moraju držati obveznu rezervu pri FED-u, a stopu obvezne rezerve određuje Vijeće guvernera. Diskontna stopa To je kamatna stopa po kojoj se FED obvezuje posuditi rezerve komercijalnim bankama. U konkretnom slučaju to znači da povećanjem diskontne stope FED poskupljuje posudbe komercijalnim bankama, i na taj način komercijalne banke daju manje zajmova i povećavaju kamatnu stopu. Vrijedi i obrnuto. Operacije otvorenog tržišta Predstavljaju kupovinu ili prodaju američkih državnih vrijednosnica kojima FED utječe na novčanu posudbu. Ako FED prodaje državne vrijednosnice plaćaju se bankovnim depozitima i rezervama, te se stvaraju složeni monetarni kreditni uvjeti, banke smanjuju rezervu, manje posuđuju novac i podižu kamatnu stopu. Ako FED kupuje državne vrijednosnice, plaća ih dodanim rezervama banaka, te tako poboljšava kreditne uvjete. Dodatnim rezervama banke povećavaju svoje posudbe, kredite i smanjuju kamatnu stopu.

Sistema de Reserva Federal dos Estados Unidos

O Sistema de Reserva Federal (em inglês, Federal Reserve System, também conhecido como Federal Reserve ou simplesmente como the Fed) é o sistema de bancos centrais dos Estados Unidos. A estrutura do Sistema de Reserva Federal é composta por um Conselho de Governadores (Federal Reserve Board), pelo Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) e pelos doze presidentes de Federal Reserve Banks regionais, localizados nas maiores cidade do país, além de numerosos representantes de bancos privados dos Estados Unidos e diversos conselhos consultivos. O FOMC é o comitê responsável pelo estabelecimento da política monetária e é formado de todos os sete membros do Conselho de Governadores e pelos doze presidentes dos bancos regionais, embora somente cinco presidentes de banco votem. O Sistema de Reserva Federal tem aspectos de natureza pública e de natureza privada, tendo sido concebido para servir tanto aos interesses do público em geral como dos banqueiros privados. Disso resulta uma estrutura considerada única entre os bancos centrais. Também não é usual que uma entidade de fora do banco central, o Departamento do Tesouro dos Estados Unidos, crie moeda. De acordo com o Conselho de Governadores, o Fed é independente dentro do governo, de modo que "suas decisões não têm que ser ratificadas pelo Presidente ou por nenhum outro membro do Poder Executivo ou do Legislativo." No entanto, sua autoridade deriva do Congresso dos Estados Unidos e está sujeita a supervisão parlamentar. Além disso, os membros do Conselho de Governadores, incluindo seu presidente e vice-presidente, são escolhidos pelo Presidente dos Estados Unidos e confirmados pelo Congresso. O governo também exerce algum controle sobre o Fed, ao indicar e estabelecer os salários dos funcionários de mais alto nível do sistema. O Governo dos Estados Unidos recebe todos os lucros anuais do sistema, após o pagamento de dividendos estatutários de 6% sobre o investimento em capital dos bancos membros, e a retirada uma parte do excedente como reserva. Em 2010, o Fed realizou um lucro de 82 bilhões de dólares e transferiu 79 bilhões para o Tesouro americano. As funções da Reserva Federal incluem, além da formulação e execução da políticas monetária, a fiscalização dos Federal Reserve Banks regionais, a emissão do Beige Book (relatório sobre a situação econômica dos Estados Unidos) oito vezes por ano e a regulação e supervisão dos bancos membros. A política monetária é implementada através da compra ou venda de títulos e mediante o aumento ou redução da taxa de desconto da taxa de juros dos empréstimos feitos pelo Sistema de Reserva Federal aos bancos.

Eldbrooke United Methodist Church

Eldbrooke United Methodist Church is a historic church building located at 4100 River Road NW in the Tenleytown neighborhood Washington, D.C. History The first church on this site, called Mount Zion Methodist, was established in 1840, in the vicinity of Tennally Town, a farming village, approximately three miles north of Georgetown, on the Rockville Pike. The original structure may have been rebuilt after the Civil War. In 1899, the building was renovated and expanded, and the name was changed to Eldbrooke, after Aquila Eld and Philip Brooke, who were among the founders. The Spanish Colonial Revival building, designed by Howard Wright Cutler, was built in 1926. Descendants of the Eld family were still present in the 1960s. After church membership had declined thru the latter 1900s, responsibility for ministry was assigned to Metropolitan Memorial United Methodist Church in the 1990s, and ministry was discontinued in early 2000s. The property was purchased by The City Church in 2008. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places and District of Columbia Inventory of Historic Sites in 2008.

Elliott Coues House

The Elliott Coues House is a historic house at 1726 N Street NW, in the Dupont Circle neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Built about 1880, it was the home of 19th-century historian and ornithologist Elliott Coues (1842–99) from about 1887 until his death. Coues helped found the American Ornithologists' Union in 1883 and edited about 15 volumes of journals, memoirs, and diaries by famous Western explorers and fur traders. The house was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1975. Description and history The Elliott Coues House is located in Washington's Dupont Circle neighborhood, on the south side of N Street, west of Scott Circle between 17th and 18th Streets. It is the left one of two similar painted brick row houses, which were probably built around 1880. Coues' house is the simpler of the two; it is 3+1⁄2 stories in height with a dormered gable roof and a tall basement. Its facade is three bays wide, the left two taken up by a projecting rectangular bay. The entrance is in the right bay of the basement level, framed by pilasters and entablature that rise to also enclose the first-floor window. The building is not architecturally distinguished. Elliott Coues moved into this house in about 1887, and it remained his principal residence for the rest of his life. A native of New Hampshire, Coues served in the United States Army from 1862 until 1881, pursuing a scientific interest in birds as an avocation. From 1873 to 1876 he served in the Pacific Northwest as a surveyor and naturalist for the U.S. Northern Boundary Commission, and in 1880 he became secretary and naturalist for the predecessor to the United States Geological Survey. In the latter role he edited and published a great deal of material documenting the days of the "Old West". In 1883 he helped found the American Ornithologists' Union, also holding a chair in the anatomy department at Columbia University. See also List of National Historic Landmarks in Washington, D.C.
