Well-known features found on Oahu include Waikiki, Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head, Hanauma Bay, Kaneohe Bay, Kailua Bay and North Shore. Hawaii is one of four states, besides the original thirteen, that were independent prior to becoming part of the United States, along with the Vermont Republic, the Republic of Texas, and the California Republic, and one of two, along with Texas, that had formal diplomatic recognition internationally. The Kingdom of Hawaii was sovereign from 1810 until 1893 when the monarchy was overthrown by resident businessmen. It was an independent republic from 1894 until 1898, when it was annexed by the United States as a territory, becoming a state in 1959. In 2013, the US Census Bureau estimated that the population of Hawaii was 1,404,054. Oahu, nicknamed "The Gathering Place", is the most populous island with a resident population of just under one million in 597 square miles (1,546 km2). Hawaii is demographically unique and consists of 198,000 (14.6%) Filipino Americans, 185,000 (13.6%) Japanese Americans, 55,000 (4.0%) Chinese Americans, and 24,000 (1.8%) Korean Americans. Indigenous Hawaiians number over 80,000 or 5.9% of the population. Multiracial Americans form almost one-quarter of Hawaii's population, ]xyyxÜáÉÇ YxÄÄÉãá{|Ñá exceeding 320,000 people while the Non-Hispanic Caucasian population numbers approximately 310,000 and forms just over one-fifth of the population.

The Bandarudara Internasional Jawa Barat (BIJB) and Kertajati Aerocity are under construction and expected to be a center of economic activity supported by potential of natural resources and agriculture. They later will act as a driver of economic growth in West Java, especially for surrounding area such as Kertajati, Jatitujuh and Ligung Sub-districts. As an affect of the the development of BIJB and Kertajati Aerocity, the water demand of surrounding area will increase. Therefore an analysis of water demand and availability is needed. This research supports by analyzing the water balance, water demand, and also water allocation using WEAP (Water Evaluation and Planing) software tool. Water balance of Cimanuk-Tomo, Cimanuk-Monjot, and Cilutung-Dam Kamun river are analyzed, water demand of the three sub-districts are also projected and become the inputs of the water allocation model. The result of WEAP model simulation shows that the Cimanuk River can meet the water demand of the three sub-districts until 2040.

  • Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2005 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor March 8, 2006
    Burma Page 1 of 24 2005 Human Rights Report Released | Daily Press Briefing | Other News... Burma Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2005 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor March 8, 2006 Since 1962, Burma, with an estimated population of more than 52 million, has been ruled by a succession of highly authoritarian military regimes dominated by the majority Burman ethnic group. The current controlling military regime, the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC), led by Senior General Than Shwe, is the country's de facto government, with subordinate Peace and Development Councils ruling by decree at the division, state, city, township, ward, and village levels. In 1990 prodemocracy parties won more than 80 percent of the seats in a generally free and fair parliamentary election, but the junta refused to recognize the results. Twice during the year, the SPDC convened the National Convention (NC) as part of its purported "Seven-Step Road Map to Democracy." The NC, designed to produce a new constitution, excluded the largest opposition parties and did not allow free debate. The military government totally controlled the country's armed forces, excluding a few active insurgent groups. The government's human rights record worsened during the year, and the government continued to commit numerous serious abuses. The following human rights abuses were reported: abridgement of the right to change the government extrajudicial killings, including custodial deaths disappearances rape, torture, and beatings of

  • The Steel Butterfly: Aung San Suu Kyi Democracy Movement in Burma
    presents The Steel Butterfly: Aung San Suu Kyi and the Democracy Movement in Burma Photo courtesy of First Post Voices Against Indifference Initiative 2012-2013 Dear Teachers, As the world watches Burma turn toward democracy, we cannot help but wish to be part of this historic movement; to stand by these citizens who long for justice and who so richly deserve to live in a democratic society. For 25 years, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi endured house arrest because of her unwavering belief in, and fight for, democracy for all the people of Burma. Through her peaceful yet tireless example, Madam Suu Kyi has demonstrated the power of the individual to change the course of history. Now, after 22 years, the United States of America has reopened diplomatic relations with Burma. President Barack Obama visited in November 2012, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton visited in December 2011 and, in July of 2012, Derek Mitchell was appointed to represent our country as Ambassador to Burma. You who are the teachers of young people, shape thinking and world views each day, directly or subtly, in categories of learning that cross all boundaries. The Echo Foundation thanks you for your commitment to creating informed, compassionate, and responsible young people who will lead us into the future while promoting respect, justice and dignity for all people. With this curriculum, we ask you to teach your students about Burma, the Burmese people, and their leader, Aung San Suu Kyi. The history of Burma is fascinating. Long in the margins of traditional studies, it deserves to come into the light so that we may join the people of Burma in their quest for a stable democracy.
