BAE Systems

La BAE Systems plc (BAE) è una società inglese del settore aerospaziale e della difesa con sede centrale Farnborough, attiva a livello mondiale, particolarmente nel nord America attraverso la sua sussidiaria BAE Systems Inc. Storia BAE è la terza più grande impresa di difesa del mondo. La BAE Systems fu creata il 30 novembre 1999 a seguito della fusione di due società britanniche: la Marconi Electronic Systems (MES), sussidiaria per il settore elettronica per la difesa e costruzioni navali della General Electric Company (GEC), con la British Aerospace (BAe), costruttore di aerei, munizioni e sistemi navali, per un valore di 7,7 miliardi di sterline. La BAE rappresenta il successore di molte società storiche del settore dell'elettronica per la difesa, incluso la Marconi Company la prima società commerciale impegnata nello sviluppo ed uso della radio; la Avro, una delle prime società di costruzioni aeronautiche del mondo; la de Havilland, costruttore del Comet, il primo jet di linea passeggeri; la British Aircraft Corporation, costruttore in società del Concorde, primo aereo da trasporto supersonico e della Supermarine, il costruttore del famoso Spitfire. Attività La società si è disimpegnata in modo crescente dalle attività in Europa, favorendo investimenti sempre maggiori negli Stati Uniti. Fin dalla formazione ha ceduto le sue azioni di Airbus, EADS Astrium, Alenia Marconi Systems (AMS) e Atlas Elektronik. La BAE Systems partecipa a molti importanti progetti di difesa, incluso l'F-35 Lightning II, l'Eurofighter Typhoon, l'aeromobile a pilotaggio remoto BAE Mantis e la nuova Classe Queen Elizabeth di portaerei per la Royal Navy inglese. Controversie La società è stata soggetta a critiche, sia in generale per le attività nel settore della vendita di armamenti, sia in particolare per le risultanze di pratiche immorali e corruzione, inclusa la vicenda del contratto Al Yamamah con l'Arabia Saudita, che ha consentito alla BAE e alle aziende che l'hanno preceduta guadagni per 43 miliardi di sterline in venti anni. In tali vicende fu coinvolto anche Mark Thatcher il figlio dell'allora Primo Ministro Margaret che firmò l'accordo.

BAE Systems

BAE Systems este cea mai mare companie europeană din industria apărării, cu peste 88.000 de angajați și un profit de peste 1 miliard £ în anul 2006. Compania a fost înființată în 30 noiembrie 1999 prin fuzionarea vechilor companii British Aerospace (BAE) și Marconi Electronic Systems (MES). Controverse BAE Systems a fost suspectată de plăți ilegale pentru obținerea mai multor contracte semnificative de tehnică militară - cel mai mediatizat caz de acest fel are în vedere achiziționarea a 72 de aparate Eurofighter Typhoon, cu valoare de „catalog” de 30 miliarde dolari, de către Arabia Saudită. Presa britanică a scris pe larg despre comisioane care ar fi fost primite de prințul Bandar bin Sultan, secretarul general al Consiliului pentru Securitate Națională: mai mult de două miliarde dolari în tranșe, un Airbus A340, și chiar sponsorizarea nunții și lunii de miere a fiicei acestuia. BAE Systems a vorbit despre remunerarea unor „servicii de asistență”, ascunzându-se în spatele „confidențialității” acordurilor între guverne, mișcare, despre care s-a vehiculat că a fost asistată de autorități la cel mai înalt nivel, de către premierul Tony Blair, care ar fi intervenit atât pentru suspendarea anchetei inițiate de justiția britanică, cât și de cea americană, uzând de întreg arsenalul politic de care dispunea. Ancheta a fost oprită, în decembrie 2006, pe motiv că poate dăuna securității naționale. Decizia a fost întărită de Camera Lorzilor, în iulie 2008, care a hotărât că oprirea anchetei a fost legală.

Saint Joseph's Catholic Church (Key West, Iowa)

Saint Joseph's Catholic Church is a Roman Catholic parish located south of Dubuque, Iowa in the community of Key West, Iowa. The parish is part of the Archdiocese of Dubuque. The church is across from Mount Olivet Cemetery, one of two main Catholic cemeteries for Dubuque-area Catholics. While people from St. Joseph's parish are often buried at Mount Olivet, the cemetery is not part of the parish. History The parish was originally established in 1872 by Father Thomas J. O'Reilly for the Catholics living just south of Dubuque in Mosalem and Table Mound townships. Father James Ward was the first resident pastor. In the late 1940s another Saint Joseph's Church was established about three miles away in Dubuque. This led to confusion on the part of people between the two parishes; at times one parish would receive mail meant for the other. As a result, St. Joseph's in Dubuque eventually changed its name to Saint Joseph the Worker Catholic Church in the 1990s. During the 1990s the parish seriously considered demolishing the current church structure and replacing it with a new building. However the parish decided to keep their current church building, and instead make improvements to the parish school. The school mascot was the Cobras. References
Salisbury House (Des Moines, Iowa)

Salisbury House, in Des Moines, Iowa, is a Tudor, Gothic and Carolean style manor home built on a wooded hill with commanding views. It was built by cosmetics magnate Carl Weeks and his wife, Edith Van Slyke Weeks, between 1923 and 1928. Salisbury House was modeled after the King's House in Salisbury, England, contains 42 rooms and measures just over 22,000 square feet (2,000 m2). The property is owned and operated by the Salisbury House Foundation and is open to the public for tours, public events, and private rentals. Salisbury House was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. The listing covered a 9.4-acre (3.8 ha) area with two contributing buildings, one other contributing structure and one contributing site. Salisbury House is also on the List of Registered Historic Places in Iowa. Timeline 1923 to 1928: Constructed and furnished with an original budget of $150,000, the final cost was $3 million. 1926: Carl and Edith Weeks and their four sons—Charles, William, Evert, and Lafayette—move into Salisbury House. 1934: Carl and Edith Weeks donate Salisbury House to Drake University; they retain ownership of the House's collections and furnishings, and pay rent to Drake as tenants until 1954. 1954: Iowa State Education Association (ISEA) purchased Salisbury House and its collections from Drake University and the Weeks Family for $180,000 and began using it as office space. 1993: Salisbury House Foundation was formed to preserve, interpret and share the property for the cultural and educational benefit of the public. 1998: Salisbury House Foundation purchased the property and collections from ISEA for $4.0 million. 1999: Operation of Salisbury House as a historic house museum began. Collections The Weeks Family amassed extensive collections of fine art, decorative art, rare books, musical instruments, historic documents, weapons and sculpture, and most of their holdings remain in Salisbury House to this day. However, in the summer of 2019, Grinnell College purchased the library of Carl and Edith Weeks and moved the collection of approximately 3,000 volumes and 2,500 historic documents to Burling Library on the Grinnell College campus. The collection remains open for research by the public, and Grinnell continues to collaborate with Salisbury House on programming involving the collection. The Salisbury House Foundation offers various tour packages that allow visitors to experience many highlights from the Weeks Family's collections.

Samuel Van Sant House

The Samuel Van Sant House is an historic building located in Le Claire, Iowa, United States. The house was built in 1860 and it has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1979. The property is part of the Houses of Mississippi River Men Thematic Resource, which covers the homes of men from LeClaire who worked on the Mississippi River as riverboat captains, pilots, builders and owners. It is also a contributing property in the Cody Road Historic District. Samuel Van Sant Samuel was the son of J.W. Van Sant who was the head of the Le Claire Marine Railway boatyards. Along with John Smith, also of Le Claire, he developed the raftboat named the J.W. Van Sant after his father. It pushed the lumber rafts down the river from the forests in the north to the mills further south. Their invention revolutionized the transportation of logs and lumber down the Mississippi River. They also developed the bowboat, which was a small sternwheeler set crosswise at the front of the raft to provide additional control over direction of movement. Van Sant moved to Minnesota in the 1880s where he was elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives and served as Speaker of the House. He later became the state's governor. Architecture The Samuel Van Sant House is a 1½-story frame house whose exterior is composed of narrow clapboards. It follows an L-shape plan. The house features a wide front gable and the main roofline that parallel the street. There is also a large triangular wall dormer that is centered on the front of the long arm of the "L". The house's windows have flat enframements with shallow triangular pediments. A plain, wooden porch is located in the angle of the "L" and is a later addition. References

Savery Hotel

The Savery Hotel, now known as the Renaissance Des Moines Savery Hotel, is a historic building in downtown Des Moines, Iowa, United States. This is the third hotel in the city with that name and the second at this location. The prominent Chicago hotel design firm H.L. Stevens & Company designed the 233-room hotel in the Colonial Revival style, which was a rare choice for commercial architecture in Des Moines. The hotel is an eleven-story brick building that rises 140 feet (43 m) above the ground. Opened in 1919, it has additions completed in 1952 and 1953. Across the alley to the west is an annex that was completed circa 1899 for the previous hotel building. During World War II, Des Moines was the location for the first Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC) training center. The Savery augmented the facilities at Fort Des Moines and served as the induction center, barracks, mess hall, and classrooms from 1942 to 1945. Notable guests who have stayed here include First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, President Harry S. Truman, and actress Carol Channing, who required a window she could open for fresh air before she would stay here. Entertainer Tiny Tim lived for nearly eight years at the Savery in the 1980s. The hotel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. It was extensively renovated in 1999 and again in 2016–2017. Popular culture In the Jane Smiley novel A Thousand Acres, Ginny and Ty spend their wedding night at the Savery Hotel. References External links Hotel Website
Schmidt Block

The Schmidt Block , also known as the F.T. Schmidt Building, is a historic building located in downtown Davenport, Iowa, United States. It was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. In 2020 it was included as a contributing property in the Davenport Downtown Commercial Historic District. History The building was built by Fritz T. Schmidt in 1896 to house his wine and liquor business, which was known as Fritz T. Schmidt and Sons. They produced their own wine at a west end location known as "Blackhawk Vineyards." It was located along Blackhawk Creek. Some of the buildings, including the Schmidt's house, are extant. During Prohibition the family moved into real estate and insurance. In the late 1970s and 1980s the building housed an upscale restaurant called J.K. Frizbee's. Duck City, another upscale restaurant, occupies the building now. Architecture The Schmidt Block is a three-plus story building constructed of red stone that was built on a brick foundation. The main façade was designed in the Romanesque Revival style made popular by Henry Hobson Richardson. It features large round-arched windows with tuned-stone surrounds on the third floor, roughly dressed stone, and stunted columns on the attic level arcade that are topped by a cornice. The Schmidt Block is the only commercial building in Davenport to adopt the Richardsonian Romanesque style in stone. The swag embellishments on the frieze are also unique in that they are Adamesque rather than Romanesque. While the storefront has been modernized, the building retains its recessed entrance into the first-floor commercial space and transom signage. The building immediately to the east has since been torn down and a sheltered outdoor seating area for the restaurant has been added that looks over the urban style park that sits between the Schmidt Block and the RiverCenter, the city's convention center.

Schroeder Bros. Meat Market

The Schroeder Bros. Meat Market is a historic building located in the West End of Davenport, Iowa, United States. The Commercial Vernacular style building was complete in 1905 and it has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1983. History The building was probably built for Henry and John Schroeder for their meat market. Another building that housed a cigar factory and residence occupied this property previously. Since at least the latter part of the 20th-century, the building has housed a tavern in the commercial space. Architecture The building is a two-story brick structure that sits at the corner of West Third and North Pine Streets. The entrance into the first-floor commercial space faces the corner. Above the entrance is a pressed-metal oriel window, which gives the building a sense of prominence. Another oriel window is located further back along North Pine Street. The second floor also features rectangular windows with hoods above them. The building has a cornice across the top. References
