Allegany Ballistics Laboratory

Le Allegany Ballistics Laboratory est un établissement industriel dépendant du Naval Sea Systems Command de l'United States Navy. Il emploie un millier de personnes dans son centre situé à Rocket Center (en) dans le comté de Mineral (Virginie-Occidentale). Il fait partie du Federal Laboratory Consortium (FLC) et est dirigé par Northrop Grumman. Son activité principale est la fabrication de matériaux composites. Il conserve son activité antérieure concernant les propulseurs à poudre qui est à l'origine de son nom. Histoire Le site a été créé en 1942 par la Kelly-Springfield Tire Company pour la fabrication d'obus. En 1944 il est repris par l' Office of Scientific Research and Development pour la fabrication de bazookas, de propulseurs à poudre, de capteurs de proximité pour obus et d'autres sous-ensembles. En 1947 il passe sous la direction du Naval Sea Systems Command de l'United States Navy et est dirigé par Hercules, devenu filiale de Alliant Techsystems en 1995, entreprise rachetée par Northrop Grumman en 2018. L'activité propulseurs sur le site s'est avérée dangereuse (9 morts en 1961, 3 en 1963, 2 en 1978, 2 en 1981) et polluante pour la région nord du Potomac. Un programme de dépollution a été mis en place par la Navy. Cette activité a été développée au plan national par la National Interest Security Company, filiale d'IBM Global Services.

Allegany County Courthouse

The Allegany County Courthouse is the Maryland Circuit court for Allegany County, Maryland, United States. It is located in Cumberland's Washington Street Historic District. With its Richardsonian Romanesque styling, the courthouse is a prominent part of the city's skyline. History In 1789, the Allegany County Court was created by Act of the Maryland General Assembly. As part of the Act, Washington County had been subdivided and Allegany County, a name derived from the Indian word "Oolikhanna," meaning beautiful stream, was formed. Local historians have reported that the first court cases in Allegany County were held in the home of John Graham and court business was held in a Green Street tavern owned by Abraham Faw. This was a temporary measure until a proper courthouse could be built. First Court House In 1793, the General Assembly authorized the construction of the county's first courthouse and jail, but it was not until 1799 that the courthouse was ready for use. This first courthouse was built for a sum of $3,062.50. In 1806, improvements were made by building records rooms for the Clerk of Court and the Registrar of Wills for a total sum of $1200.00. Second Court House In 1834, the courthouse had become too small for the county's increasing needs and a new courthouse was approved to be built for a sum of $5000.00. This new courthouse was completed in 1841. Thirty years later, in the 1860s, $75,000 in bonds were issued by the County Commissioners for the purpose of enlarging and remodeling the existing courthouse and for building a new jail. The courthouse was improved and used for the next 30 years, until it caught fire and was destroyed on January 5, 1893. Only the vaults of the Clerk of Court and Registrar of Wills were salvaged from the fire. The court has moved to the City Hall and Academy of Music building temporarily. Third Court House Designed in 1893, the Courthouse was the first major commission of local architect Wright Butler. Butler based his design for this public building on the Richardsonian Romanesque architectural style. The massing and detail of the courthouse are typical of this late 19th-century style, developed from the works of architect Henry Hobson Richardson. Characteristic of this style, the courthouse combines the use of brick highlighted with stone belt courses and presents a uniform rock-faced exterior finish. The building's ribbons of windows set deeply into the walls, and large arched entry are also typical Richardsonian features. Less typical is the courthouse's tower buttressed with round columns that rises above the three-story building. Construction of the building was completed for a total cost of $97,000. One of the pinnacle examples of Richardson's work is the Allegheny County Courthouse in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which Cumberland's Courthouse strongly resembles. Notes References Will H.

In 1993, several reports of piranhas being caught in Allen Pond surfaced, with one reported in excess of 11 inches long. History The pond and surrounding area was owned by a farmer, James Allen. He and his family raised cattle and tobacco on the property. Allen established the pond as a fishing attraction and sold access as annual shares for ten dollars. The land including the pond was sold to Levitt & Sons, the developer of Belair at Bowie, in 1965 with Allen making a request that the pond and surrounding area become a park for the community. The Robert V. Setera Amphitheater was built on the grounds in the late 1960s. See also Foxhill Park References External links Park website

American Podiatric Medical Association

The American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) is a professional medical organization representing Doctors of Podiatric Medicine (podiatrists) within the United States. The organization was founded in 1912 and is headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland. Approximately 80% of podiatrists in the US are members of the APMA. Under the APMA are 53 component societies in individual states and other jurisdictions, as well as 21 affiliated and related societies. Doctors of Podiatric Medicine are physicians and surgeons who practice on the lower extremities, primarily on the foot, ankle and lower leg. The preparatory education of most DPMs includes four years of undergraduate work, followed by four years in an accredited podiatric medical school, followed by a residency of 3–4 years. After residency, podiatric physicians may choose to pursue further education through fellowships in any subspecialty of podiatric medicine. APMA's Council on Podiatric Medical Education is the body designated by the US Department of Education to accredit the nation's podiatric medical schools. In addition, the Council has the responsibility to approve residency programs and continuing medical education programs. The Council recognizes certifying boards within podiatric medicine which meet its standards. The official journal of the APMA is the Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association, established in 1907. History The National Association of Chiropodists, progenitor to the American Podiatric Medical Association, was established in 1912. It was renamed the American Podiatry Association (APA) in 1957. It was renamed the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) in 1984.

Annapolis Police Department

The Annapolis Police Department (APD) is a full-service law enforcement agency servicing a population of over 38,000 residents in 7.1 square miles (18 km2) of the municipality of Annapolis, Maryland. History The APD started as "city watchmen" with the granting of the city royal charter in 1708. At the time, the Anne Arundel County Sheriff's Office held concurrent jurisdiction within Annapolis proper for the first six years, after which the city would elect its own Sheriff (as is the case still today in Baltimore). The term "police officer" was not used until 1861. Like today, these police officers answered to the mayor of the city. It wasn't until 1867 that the Annapolis Police Department was officially created by an act of legislation by the Maryland General Assembly. Today, 131 sworn officers protect a thriving city of 39,000 permanent residents and over 2 million annual visitors. Officers responded to more than 41,000 calls for service in 2007. The department is located at 199 Taylor Avenue. List of chiefs 1867 - 1869 Thomas Basil 1869 - 1870 Nicholas J. Deal 1871 - 1872 Elijah J. Russell 1873 - 1875 Benjamin F.

Arch Social Club

The Arch Social Club was casually founded in 1905 and officially incorporated on March 15, 1912. The club is very much a child of Baltimore's brutally repressive racial environment. Black people at the dawn of the 20th century were savagely pushed to the political, social, cultural and economic margins by a combination of white folkways and state statutes. Out of necessity, African Americans sought collective survival in the construction of a parallel civil society. Schools, churches, benevolent associations, commercial enterprises, cultural venues and every conceivable social institution that addressed the exclusionary nature of the broader white society and day-to-day needs of Black folk were forged–often in the face of de jure, race-driven harassment and humiliation. Raymond A. Coates, Jeremiah S. Hill and Sam L. Barney founded the Arch Social Club. It was dedicated to: The social, moral and intellectual uplift of its members, and in order that charity may be practiced in a Christian-like spirit and true friendship and brotherly love be promoted and maintained. For over 100 years, Arch Social has been a fixture of Black Baltimore's civil society. Many scholars have asserted that Arch Social is the oldest known, continuously operating African American men's club in the United States. (The Monday Club, Inc. in Wilmington Delaware was established in 1876 and officially incorporated November 4, 1893 and recently celebrated 125 years of continuous service to the community and its membership) The club rapidly attracted a broad cross-section of Black Baltimore's population, as it was religiously/politically non-sectarian, multi-class and color-caste neutral. It was a pioneering Black civil societal institution at the dawn of the 20th century. Long associated with entertainment, the Arch Social Club is actually a benevolent and community action formation. Application for membership is by invitation only. Its clubhouse also applies a strict dress code for anyone attending events. For 50 years (1922-1972), the organization occupied a clubhouse at 676 West Saratoga Street (downtown-west Baltimore). The historic structure was demolished in an urban renewal scheme. In 1972, the former Morgan Theatre (Schanze Theatre, Uptown Theatre) at the corner of Pennsylvania Avenue and West North Avenue (2426 Pennsylvania Avenue, Baltimore, MD 21217) became the new clubhouse. The Arch Social Clubhouse is the last remaining venue for live entertainment (especially Jazz) on Baltimore's historic Pennsylvania Avenue commercial strip. The building was designated a Baltimore City Landmark in 2003. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2025. It is a contributing resource to the Old West Baltimore Historic District.
