Officials with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Europe District; Department of Defense Education Activity-Europe; Spangdahlem Air Base 52nd Fighter Wing; LBB Niederlassung Trier; construction teams at OBG Hochbau and UVB Universal-Bau; and the design team with Gaus + Aldinger broke ground March 16, 2017, on the 21st-century Spangdahlem Middle and High School. The school was designed for a capacity of 333 middle school students and 300 high school students. It will take approximately 2.5 years to construct.

If school backpacks can transmit as much knowledge to their owners as they seem able to hold to their owners, the 252 girls and boys at Queen’s Nursery and Primary School next to UN House in Juba, some only marginally bigger than their bags, have a bright future.
To promote girl power and progress on the International Day of the Girl Child, female police officers serving with the United Nations Mission in South Sudan visited the school and offered a variety of inspirational activities and revelations.
“Believe it or not, but I was once a small girl just like you! If you look around you, the other uniformed women here have also been children, dreaming of becoming adults. Now we have grown up and become what we wanted to be, by studying hard and following our dreams,” the peacekeeping mission’s Police Commissioner Unaisi Lutu Vuniwaqa confided –even before reaching her main message:
“All of you can become whatever you decide that you want to be. Your future is in your hands, just work hard to make the most of your education,” she added, and stressed that boys and men have an important role to play in supporting and allowing girls to flourish and reach their full potential.
A show of hands, prompted by the Police Commissioner, demonstrated that South Sudanese schools and law enforcement agencies won’t suffer from a lack of future candidates as the pupils of Queen’s School become fully fledged adults.
These preliminary findings were quickly confirmed by 14-year-old Lili John and one year younger Stella Gibson.
“Today is important because going to school gives us knowledge, and I want to become a teacher,” Lili said, still a bit unsure about what subject she would like to teach.
Truck drivers in the country are unlikely to be able to welcome Stella to their fold, but may still get to know her in another capacity.
“A police officer, that’s what I want to be. A strong one,” she added for clarification.
Patience is a necessary virtue for anyone nurturing learning children or putting criminal individuals back on the straight and narrow path of a righteous life. The same will be true for those wishing the mango tree sapling planted on Thursday’s occasion to grow fast to provide the school site with much-needed shade as quickly as possible.
The little fellow, unless it was a girl to mark the day, maybe 20 centimeters tall, was at least given a cheerful start to life, with students, teachers, community leaders and UN police officers willing it on by dancing and singing the infectious and quite possibly recently composed tune “Shake, shake, the mango tree, one for you and one for me.”
Stoical, discerning mango lovers may, however, one day be in luck and see their shares of the spoils grow significantly. Chances are that the little newcomer may soon be accompanied by another 45 tree saplings recently donated to the school by the UN Mission’s environmental engineers. That gift was part of the Carbon Sink Joint Project between UNMISS and the government of South Sudan.

Ministry of War (Vienna)
(further pictures you can see by clicking on the link at the and of page!)
Former k.u.k. War Department at Stubenring 1, now the seat of several federal ministries
The War Department called building at Stubenring in the 1st District of Vienna was built in the years 1909 to 1913 under the architectural direction of Ludwig Baumann. To the Ministry itself, see k.u.k. War Department. The building is from 1945 officially called government building.

Changing of the Guard (before 1931)
The War Department was housed at the turn of the century in the Hofkriegsratsgebäude (Court Council of War building) Am Hof and half in private houses and barracks. Already at that time the decision was made to build a new Kriegsministerialgebäude (war ministerial building). Were begun negotiations with the Treasury Department, the City of Vienna and the syndicate for property transactions. The Imperial War Ministry secured itself an until the end of 1906 limited option on the altogether approximately 12,000 square meter building ground on which the new edifice was erected later. In December 1906 the option with the approval of Emperor Franz Joseph I was actually exercised and the new building in the sequence prepared. The medias were informed in detail at thee beginning of 1907. Also in 1907 began an architectural competition for the construction (see Section Contest projects).
The winning project "Maria Theresia", was submitted by the architect Ludwig Baumann. He had in 1902 a new building for the K.K. Academy of Oriental Languages erected, which is now used as the United States Embassy in Vienna. In addition, he was also supervisor of the Neue Hofburg during the construction of the new War Department. In May 1909 the excavations began, on 1st July 1909 the construction management was activated and in October of that same year the building pressed ahead.
At the request of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Este, who by request of the emperor took special interest of the military, was in the middle of the facade such a large bronze eagle (wingspan 16 m) as crowning placed that behind the hence necessary high Attica another - not originally planned - floor could be accommodated. Furthermore the too unsightly main gates had to be made stronger.
After the completion moved the k.u.k. Ministry of War (September 20, 1911, the name Ministry of War had been abandoned by the monarch on the Hungarian request) beginning with 1st of May in 1913 here, followed by the Memorial of Field Marshal Josef Wenzel Graf Radetzky von Radetz. The bells for the now electric clock tower were also taken from the old building. Artistically embellished spaces of the old Ministry were copied in the new building. In the process the panelings of the festival and reception rooms were taken and the equipment of the Gobelinsaal, which the Empress Maria Theresa originally for the Hofkriegsrat (Court war council) had embellished.
The building with a front length of 200 meters has an area of 9632 square meters. The rest of the 13,800 square meter building site is distributed to nine courtyards, one of those of 40 meters in length was provided with a glass roof and served as a riding school. The building enfolds seven floors and the attic floor and the about thousand rooms get through circa 2,500 windows light. The Ministry was responsible for the leadership and management of the common armed forces (called army during the war) and the Navy. For the k.u.k. Naval Department, the for the administration auf the Navy responsible section of the Ministry, was a separate building erected on the adjacent Vorderen Zollamtsstraße.
1913 a radio system was installed on the roof which was followed shortly after the war began in 1914 by another plant, but which was not used. With the alteration of the in 1913 built station for voice transmission in 1923, the former Ministry of War was the birthplace of radio broadcasting in Austria.
The Ministry had become obsolete with the collapse of Austria -Hungary in late October 1918, and was of 12 , according to decision of the Provisional National Assembly for German Austria November 1918 to dissolve .
Originally, the Austrian imperial crown was placed in an oversized replica of the large double-headed eagle . The crown was removed after 1918. The gable is the motto of " Si vis pacem para bellum " ( If you want peace , prepare for war ), it was also removed .
In the interwar period the building was used by the army and 3,000 windows from 1938 to 1945 by the Wehrmacht . During the Second World War the building was hit by a bomb, but did no great harm. It was not until the Battle of Vienna in 1945, the building was severely damaged.
From 1952, it could be re- oriented and has now availed by various federal ministries , especially the economic, formerly Ministry of Commerce and Ministry of Social Affairs . The existing pre-1945 dome-like roof structures , which helped to organize the long , somewhat monotonous facade , were omitted from the simplified recovery of the roof.
Competition projects
1901 an internal competition of the military engineers was held. That of it emerged "General project on the new building of a war construction" of Feldzeugmeister (Quartermaster) Joseph Edlem of Ceipek, the deputy of the general civil engineer, represented the directive for the on 15th December 1907 tendered architectural competition.
166 architects ordered the tender documents, 66 of which submitted up to 15th April 1908 their designs. Here are some of the projects, among them the ultimately executed, shortly outlined:
Project " Homo".
The project "Homo" of the architecture rebel Adolf Loos (he did not stick, see his little later built house without eyebrows (Michaelerplatz), to the officially estimated historicism) was eliminated in the first meeting since facade plans, evidence of built-up surfaces and the enclosed space as well as an estimated budget were missing.
Project "Pallas"
Officially, the project was designed by Otto Wagner, who is now regarded as the most important architect of Vienna around 1900, due to non-compliance with relevant tender specifications and requirements of the building program removed from competition. Wagner justified this by saying this was the only way to receive an approximately symmetrical ground plan and to be able to arrange the space more appropriately.
Wagner had just before the competition the K.K. Post Office Savings Bank built, the main entrance of the War Department axially opposed. The heir to the throne, however, was an opponent of the early Viennese modernism, its most famous representative Otto Wagner was known.
In an unpublished response to a newspaper article about the construction of the War Department Ceipek criticized the program adversities, but also the in his view monotonous design of the facade by Wagner.
Project by Leopold Bauer
The project of Leopold Bauer (he began in 1911 with the construction of the building of today's Austrian National Bank) tried to make clear the military purpose of the administration building by the hint of medieval fortifications and a mighty tower. It was this tower, which pushed up the expected costs to much. Therefore, the design was indeed purchased but not implemented.
Project "Eugenio of Savoy"
Max von Ferstel, son of prominent architect Heinrich von Ferstel, by all means very busy, designed the project "Eugenio of Savoy", which was neither rewarded nor purchased and not praised. He tried the over 200 meters long main front to the Vienna's Ringstraße to design wth a multifaced structured facade arrangement.
Winning project "Maria Theresia"
The project "Maria Theresia" was submitted by architect Ludwig Baumann, who simultaneously, with the heir to the throne as representative of the client, as construction manager of the expansion of the Hofburg around the Neue Burg acted. That Baumann gave his design the project name "Maria Theresa" might have had to do with the fact that the heir had the style of Maria Theresa referred to as the most beautiful. Baumann could have been induced already with the project name to stimulate Franz Ferdinand's consent.
CLARKS HILL, S.C. – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers coordinated several volunteer cleanup efforts at J. Strom Thurmond Dam and Lake for National Public Lands Day, Sept. 29, 2012. About 30 volunteers gathered at Petersburg Campground, including Boy Scouts, Georgia Southern students, members of Outdoor Recreation & Outreach, Inc., and staff, family and other friends of the Thurmond Project. Activities included pressure washing the gatehouse complex, clearing brush, and picking up trash. Savannah District Commander Col. Jeffrey M. Hall, Deputy Commander Lt. Col. Thomas E. Woodie, and Chief of Operations Peggy O’Bryan also participated in cleanup activities at Petersburg Campground.
An additional 35 volunteers gathered at Bussey Point, including the Central Savannah River Area Horse Council and the Pine Needle Garden Club.

Neoclassical architectural monument. It was constructed in 1797-1801 (architects V.I. Bazhenov, V. F. Brenna) at the behest of Emperor Pavel I on the location of the demolished wooden Summer Palace of Empress Elizaveta Petrovna. It was named in honour of archangel Michael. The square building with an octagonal inner yard was enclosed with canals (filled over in 1823).
On 1 February 1801, Mikhailovsky Castle became a residence of the Imperial family and remained as such until conspirators assassinated Emperor Pavel I on the night of 12 March 1801.
The Northern facade, facing the Summer Garden, is emphasised with a high attic, an open terrace on paired Doric marble columns and wide granite staircases with bronze statues of Hercules and Flora (copies of antique sculptures).

In the 1820's an engineer's school went in- hence the new name. Obviously the Romanovs wanted nothing more to do with such a grim place.

On a cold, sunny March afternoon, I chanced upon an Army Leyland DAF truck on the Lee on Solent slipway (below the Hovercraft Museum). A short wait revealed that it was waiting to recover a Combat Support Boat which had been exercising on the Solent. There was some difficulty with the grab on the launching and recovery trailer and it took several attempts to get the boat on to it. It was fascinating to watch the team of Royal Engineers at work and have an opportunity to see the equipment.
In this failed attempt to recover the Combat Support Boat, the grab (centre) would not pivot forward as intended so that the two arms, seen here raised, could be attached.

Another reverse-engineering job. This wasn't as easy as it looks-- there are absolutely no references, and the proportions are vital to the success of the model. as you can see from the extra fold lines, I had to redo the head several times.
