Introduction INTRODUCTION Why an updated Master Plan?

  • A Report on Preventing Any Further Desecration of the Jewish Cemetery of Thessaloniki, Greece Findings, Concerns and Recommendations
    A Report on Preventing any Further Desecration of the Jewish Cemetery of Thessaloniki, Greece Findings, Concerns and Recommendations Prepared for Asra Kadisha, Conference of Academicians for the Protection of Jewish Cemeteries and the Central Rabbinical Congress July 2008 By David Rubel Jewish Cemetery of Thessaloniki, Greece Findings, Concerns and Recommendations 2 BACKGROUND 1. The old Jewish cemetery of Thessaloniki is being desecrated by construction under the authority of the City of Thessaloniki and Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. The cemetery was once the largest Jewish cemetery in the world and is located in a city that was home to one of longest continuous Jewish communities only to be destroyed during the Nazi occupation in World War II. The Asra Kadisha (Committee for the Preservation of Gravesites), the leadership of the Jewish community of Greece, as well as other Jewish organizations dedicated to the preservation of cemeteries abroad, have all strongly protested the desecration of the Jewish cemetery as violation of their religious beliefs. All of these organizations have stated that construction is taking place inside the boundaries of the Jewish cemetery..All construction work of a new Metro station and a campus building should be halted immediately. CURRENT DESECRETION 2. Until an authoritative and unbiased map is finally produced of the Jewish cemetery of Thessaloniki, all construction in contested areas should stop immediately. An area of land with such great religious and historical significance deserves a full and exhaustive research undertaking. A professional land survey and thorough historical investigation are essential. Just from the research that we have conducted on the cemetery, it is abundantly clear that there is compelling evidence that significantly differs from the United States Consulate General Office in Thessaloniki (which is based on mapping from the Survey Office of Thessaloniki in 1936 and cannot be judged an objective party).

Recent changes have the potential to dramatically modify the campus footprint and better connect the university to its surroundings. Agreements between UTSA, the City of San Antonio, Bexar County, and Weston Martin Street Urban have added roughly two city blocks to the San Antonio River Downtown Campus east of the freeway. Future Via Centro agreements may provide substantial land to both Plaza West Commerce Street the immediate west and south of the current Cattleman’s Buena Vista Street Square Downtown developed campus as well additional land to the Historic east such as the Continental Hotel site.

  • A Nation Repays Its Debt: the National Soldiers' Home and Cemetery in Dayton, Ohio
    National Park Service Teaching with Historic Places U.S. Department of the Interior A Nation Repays Its Debt: The National Soldiers' Home and Cemetery in Dayton, Ohio A Nation Repays Its Debt: The National Soldiers' Home and Cemetery in Dayton, OH Dayton National Cemetery (U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs) More than 3000 disabled veterans who were residents of the Central Home since its establishment have died and been buried with military honors in the grove west of the Hospital, which had been tastefully laid out for a cemetery. "Their comrades, officers and men have erected there a beautiful monument of Peru white marble, fifty feet high, and surmounted with a splendid figure of a private soldier. It was unveiled on the 12th of September, 1887, [The year in this quote is incorrect. The monument was actually dedicated in 1877.] by the President of the United States, with grand ceremonies and in the presence of 25,000 people. On the pedestal are the words 'To our fallen Comrades' and 'These were honorable men in their generation.'…"¹ Upon entering Dayton National Cemetery, the hilly landscape is dotted with uniform marble headstones, all in neat rows with the Dayton Soldiers Memorial standing tall and proud in the center. The more than 100 acres of cemetery landscape is bathed with sunshine today, as there are few trees to shade visitors and mourners. Except for the sounds of birds, there is a solemn quiet. Beyond the gentle hills and headstones and over the horizon, you might glimpse a large old brick soldiers' home building which was built to house disabled Union veterans from the Civil War.

  • Download Load Skyscraper Project
    Skyscraper Project Based Learning 1.Overview 1.1.Overall Goal Allow students to describe, anticipate and plan for some of the realistic factors encountered in a real engineering project through a team activity. 1.2.Societal Context In the 1920’s there was an economic boom that drove up real estate prices in cities in America, particularly in New York City. Inspired by the rising cost of land, the availability of new materials such as stainless steel, and the competition for bragging rights for the tallest building in the world, a number of projects were launched to build successively taller buildings. In this race, as soon as one building was announced at a certain planned height, competitors would begin planning for another building that would be slightly taller. One of these projects, commissioned by the Chrysler Corporation in 1928, added an innovation to the competition. Planned and announced at 925 ft., the building design included a “secret” tall spike, which at the last minute was assembled in 90 minutes and raised into position, suddenly adding 121 extra feet to the height of the building. At 1046 ft., it became the tallest structure in the world at the time. Combined with its beautiful art deco exterior, the innovation cemented the place of the Chrysler Building in the hearts of Americans as one of the great “skyscrapers” (a term originally used for the highest sail on a clipper ship). 1.3.Program Integration This project is targeted for first and second year engineering students. With variations, it can be used for third year students as well.
