Awty International School

De Awty International School is een internationale school in de Verenigde Staten. Het is een privéschool in Spring Branch, Houston, Texas voor leerlingen tot en met achttien jaar. Algemene Informatie De school werd in 1956 opgericht door Kathleen Awty als crèche. De toevoeging van een lagere en een middelbare school vond plaats in 1975 en veranderde de school in een instituut met een highschool. In 1984 fuseerde de school met de Franse School van Houston en ontstond de Awty International School. Ruim 1500 leerlingen schrijven zich jaarlijks in en dat maakt de Awty International School tot de grootste privéschool in Houston en de op een na grootste internationale school in de Verenigde Staten. Op 'Awty' werken de meeste vijfde- en zesdeklassers voor het International Baccalaureate. Dit baccalaureaat is van toepassing op de internationale afdeling van de school. De Franse afdeling, ongeveer 30% van de school, volgt de eisen van het Franse baccalaureaat. Naast een diploma voor een van deze beide trajecten krijgen alle geslaagden ook een Amerikaans high school-diploma. Opleiding De vreemde talen die op Awty worden aangeboden zijn Arabisch, Chinees, Nederlands, Frans, Duits , Italiaans, Japans, Noors, Perzisch, Portugees, Russisch en Spaans.

Daarna wordt elk jaar een ander onderwerp bestudeerd door de leerlingen. Zo heeft elke leerling elk jaar geschiedenis en topografie, maar gaan de lessen over verschillende werelddelen. In de derde klas krijgen de leerlingen les in Amerikaanse geschiedenis en in de vierde leren ze over de Europese geschiedenis. Pas in de vijfde en zesde kiezen zij een richting waar ze in de toekomst mee verder willen. Naast talen en andere "leervakken", zijn er ook kunstvakken zoals tekenen, fotografie, toneel, dans, koor en muziek.

Congregation Tiferet Israel (Austin, Texas)

Congregation Tiferet Israel is an Orthodox Jewish synagogue in Austin, Texas. The building was dismantled and relocated from Brenham, Texas, where it had been known as the B'nai Abraham Synagogue, a congregation organized in 1885. History Early Jewish settlers in the Washington County of Texas arrived during the 1860s. B. Levinson, an original founder, arrived in 1861. Alex Simon arrived in 1866. These individuals became active in the business community of Brenham, and as other Jewish settlers arrived, the need for a synagogue grew. The present building was constructed in 1893, after the first caught fire in 1892. L. Fink served as first president, F. Susnitsky as vice president, L. Z. Harrison as treasurer, and J. Lewis and Abe Fink as secretaries. The twenty charter members were led by Rabbi Israel. In the 1990s the synagogue was believed to be the oldest Orthodox Jewish synagogue to have been in continuous use in Texas. Leon Toubin, a Jewish Texan community and business leader, was the caretaker of this place of worship. Relocation Due to the fall of the Jewish population of Brenham, the synagogue fell out of use. Leon and Mimi Toubin arranged for and paid for moving the building from its original site to Austin, Texas. In early 2015, the building was cut into three sections and moved 90 miles (140 km) west to the Dell Jewish Community Center in the Northwest Hills neighborhood of Austin. The building was pieced back together and upgraded with new insulation, restrooms, air-conditioning and electrical wiring. The synagogue became the home of the Congregation Tiferet Israel. The move resulted in the loss of historic status for the structure. Architecture The structure, originally located on 302 North Park Street, served as an Orthodox Shul. The projecting structure on the near side is the Mikveh. The white clapboard structure with its pointed arched windows closely resembles the small country churches in the region. Inside the building the Aron Kodesh can be seen on the eastern wall and in the center the Bimah where the Sefer Torah was read.

Badu Building

The Badu Building is located in the City of Llano, Llano County, Texas. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places listings in Llano County, Texas in 1980, and designated a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1981. It has also been known as the Badu House and as the Carol Phelan Building. It is now being operated as a restaurant and private event space under the name Badu 1891. Designed by Larramour and Watson, the Badu Building was erected in 1890 by the Llano Improvement and Furnace Company, as the location of the newly chartered First National Bank. The building is constructed of local granite and locally manufactured red brick. The marble-floored street level with its carved wooden interiors were the public access portion of the bank. The second floor was designed for office space. The Llano Improvement and Furnace Company had been organized with the specific purpose of promoting land development in the area, but went bankrupt circa 1894. The building was sold to N. J. Badu in 1898 at a public auction. Until 1980, the building had been continuously owned by members of Badu's family. From 1907 to 1912, the building was leased to the First State Bank of Llano. The Badu family sold it in 1980. It has been used as a bed and breakfast facility, and as a restaurant. N.J. Badu N. J. Badu was a native of Nancy, France. Educated and trained as a geologist in Europe, Badu emigrated from France to Mexico. From there, he traveled to New Orleans, eventually finding employment in Texas as an instructor of the French language, in the Lamar County town of Paris. He married a woman from the same county by the name of Charlie Neal. After a subsequent career change, he gained some experience at hotel management in Dallas and Austin. During his tenure in Paris, Badu had heard much about the geology of Llano. He was hired by the Llano Improvement and Furnace Company to manage the Algona Hotel, the area's grand upscale establishment. When the Llano Improvement and Furnace Company went bankrupt, the Algona closed. Badu became employed as a manager of the Driskill Hotel in Austin, but maintained his home in Llano. Badu became a full-time mineralogist, with his laboratory based in Llano.

Balmorhea Lake

Background Balmorhea Lake is a reservoir on Sandia Creek 2 miles (3.2 km) southeast of downtown Balmorhea, Texas. Water from Toyah Creek, fed by the nearby San Solomon Springs, is also fed into the reservoir, as is excess water in the Phantom Lake Canal. Historians believe that people have used springs in this area for more than 11,000 years. The reservoir was built in 1917 by the construction of a dam by the Reeves County Water Improvement District. The reservoir provides water for irrigation, and is a popular recreational spot for locals. Balmorhea Lake is also known as Lower Parks Reservoir. Flora Balmorhea Lake is home to many species of Bulrush and Sago Pondweed. The Bulrush, Scirpus acutus, is a marshland plant that is typically grown around bodies of water like: lakes, ponds and even reservoirs. These plants grow their stems horizontally while sprouting roots underneath their stems, this is known as rhizomatous activity. Because these plants are rhizomatous, they produce a substance in the ground that allows bacteria to keep waste from damaging the shoreline and vegetation near it. These plants are usually found in areas of shallow waters as they do not live very long in waters that are considerably deep. They may typically grow more than 2.5 metres (8 ft 2 in) long. They are green in color, but are sometimes seen as having a grey tint. The Bulrush plants are utilized often for conservation efforts for many different lakes and reservoirs because of their ability to preserve shorelines that would otherwise be worn down by waves. The Sago Pondweed, Stuckenia pectinata, is very common across North America. These plants are typically consumed by ducks, geese and other birds that reside on lakes, reservoirs and other similar bodies of water. Like the Bulrush mentioned above, the Sago Pondweed does offer environmental assistance by preventing erosion on the shorelines caused by waves and having the ability to regulate the amount of pollution in these bodies of water. These plant may grow to be more than 2.5 feet (0.76 m) tall and are very grass-like, having a brownish-green tint to them. Fishing Balmorhea Lake has been stocked with species of fish intended to improve the utility of the reservoir for recreational fishing. Fish that are present in Balmorhea Lake include largemouth bass, sunfish, European carp, mirror carp, channel catfish, blue catfish, black bullhead, crappie and gizzard shad. Although recreational fishing is allowed, there are statewide regulations that this lake has to follow. Recreational uses Balmorhea Lake is used for swimming, fishing, bird-watching, and boating.
