  • The Louisiana Veterans Hall of Honor
    The Louisiana Veterans Hall of Honor As of 2014, sixty-nine (69) military service members have been inducted into the Louisiana Veterans Hall of Honor. With only a few exceptions made, all of them were born in Louisiana. Each of their stories represents an outstanding or unique military career out of the millions of soldiers, airmen, sailors, or marines that they served alongside. These displays are a testament to honor, courage, dedication, and personal sacrifice. By examining the Hall of Honor exhibit cases and wall displays on the 1st and 2nd floors of the museum, see if you can answer the following questions. 1. How many women have been inducted into the Hall of Honor?

The locality represents a prime example of an inner-city locality that has been reimagined and transformed by a series of powerful actors including, but not limited to, an increasingly financialised real-estate sector, a tourism industry promoting Kreuzberg as a destination for higher-income groups, and a city-state government embracing and promoting entrepreneurial approaches to urban governance.

  • MUSLIMS in BERLIN Muslims in Berlin
    berlin-borito-10gerinc-uj:Layout 1 4/14/2010 5:39 PM Page 1 AT HOME IN EUROPE ★ MUSLIMS IN BERLIN Muslims in Berlin Whether citizens or migrants, native born or newly-arrived, Muslims are a growing and varied population that presents Europe with challenges and opportunities. The crucial tests facing Europe’s commitment to open society will be how it treats minorities such as Muslims and ensures equal rights for all in a climate of rapidly expanding diversity. The Open Society Institute’s At Home in Europe project is working to address these issues through monitoring and advocacy activities that examine the position of Muslims and other minorities in Europe. One of the project’s key efforts is this series of reports on Muslim communities in the 11 EU cities of Amsterdam, Antwerp, Berlin, Copenhagen, Hamburg, Leicester, London, Marseille, Paris, Rotterdam, and Stockholm. The reports aim to increase understanding of the needs and aspirations of diverse Muslim communities by examining how public policies in selected cities have helped or hindered the political, social, and economic participation of Muslims. By fostering new dialogue and policy initiatives between Muslim communities, local officials, and international policymakers, the At Home in Europe project seeks to improve the participation and inclusion of Muslims in the wider society while enabling them to preserve the cultural, linguistic, and religious practices that are important to their identities.

One op- eration after another, beginning with the Marshalls and running straight through the first air strikes on Tokyo, the big battleship has gone about the business of leveling Jap shore instal- lations and protecting carrier forces in the proverbial "one hand tied be- hind the back" fashion. Attacking Jap planes take one look at the dread- nought's gun-studded decks. That's usually enough. The one-time fast carrier task force flagship is potential enemy destruction, and no one is more aware of it than the Japs.

The plane suffered crippling damage, with a resulting fire and explosion. Unable to maintain flight, Captain Crayton ejected over enemy territory. What happened next, though, demonstrates his character and heroism. While enemy troops quickly closed on his position, a search and rescue helicopter with armed escort arrived to attempt a pick up. Despite repeated efforts to clear the area of hostile fire, they were unsuccessful, and fuel ran low. Aware of this, and despite the grave personal danger, Captain Crayton selflessly directed them to depart, leading to his inevitable capture by the enemy. So began seven years of captivity as a prisoner of war. During this period, Captain Crayton provided superb leadership and guidance to fellow prisoners at several POW locations. Under the most adverse conditions, he resisted his captor’s efforts to break him, and he helped others maintain their resistance.

My mother is the taller of the two uniformed WAVE personnel, dead center on the fantail, and facing the camera. Mom is now 93 years old, and she will be 94 in August. She is very cognizant of the events and details of her assignment, and which happened before she married. She is very proud of her service to her country as a WAVE. Although she would have liked to stay in the navy, she had to leave the service in August 1945, as World War II ended, because even though she had later married she was pregnant with my oldest brother. At that time, WAVES would not permit expectant mothers to remain on active duty, married or not. I think a lot has probably changed in the navy since then. David Jennings Midlothian, Virginia Catherine DeSales Corbett Jennings, was one of two waves that were assigned to USS New Jersey for 1 month before the ship was commissioned. Once the ship was commissioned on 23 May 1943, the WAVES were reassigned back to their original duty station at BUPERS (Bureau of Naval Personnel) in Washington, D.C.

  • Edition 2003
    Senate Department for Urban Development 05.06. Nature Reserves and Landscape Reserves (Edition 2003) Overview Endangerment of Natural Habitats The conditions of life for wild plant and animal species have clearly worsened since the middle of the last century, especially in urban areas. About half of the wild plants and animal species previously attested in Berlin are today extinct, threatened by extinction, or endangered. This development provides cause for concern, since, due to the complex relationship between plants and animals and their biocenoses, individual gaps as a rule mean the loss of several species. The most important causes for species decline are the destruction of the natural habitats and the changes in the conditions of life. As a consequence of the utilization of areas for development, soil impermiability, etc. habitats have been and are being destroyed or fragmented so greatly that they no longer offer undisturbed refuge for sensitive species. Furthermore, the entry of harmful materials from industry, trade, transportation systems and households leads to considerable impairment of the natural foundations of life. In Berlin, this has become apparent through major impoverishment of moss and lichen flora and damage to forest areas. In Berlin in 2003 the damage to forests remain stable with 25% visible damages, compaired to the region on a higher level. 22% of the forest area displayed no visible damage symptoms (Stage 0), 53% showed slight damage (Stage 1). In Brandenburg damage to forests remained unchanged for about the past 8 years. Since 1999 the significant damages has been rising constant for 4 % to current 11 %. Half of the forest area remains, also for 2003, without visible damages.
