106 Baton Rouge
Город на юго-востоке штата Луизиана. 227,8 тыс. жителей (2000; около 50 % населения - афроамериканцы [ Afro-Americans]); в МСА Батон-Руж [Baton Rouge MSA (MSA)] - 602,8 тыс. жителей. Административный центр (столица) штата Луизиана (с 1849), административный центр [ county seat] прихода Ист-Батон-Руж [East Baton Rouge Parish] (с 1811). Расположен в районе, где жили индейцы хьюма [ Houma] и байю-гула [Bayou Goula]. Основан в 1719 как французский форт для защиты путешественников к северу от Нового Орлеана [ New Orleans]. Название города, буквально означающее "красная палка", напоминает о кипарисе, который обозначал границу охотничьих угодий племен. Перешел к англичанам в 1763 в конце войны с французами и индейцами [ French and Indian War], но в результате первого сражения за Батон-Руж [Baton Rouge, First Battle of] (21 сентября 1779) во время Войны за независимость [ War of Independence] временно достался испанцам, которые после продажи Луизианы [ Louisiana Purchase] (1803) объявили город частью владения Западная Флорида. Восставшие против испанцев жители города, одержавшие верх во втором сражении за Батон-Руж [Baton Rouge, Second Battle of] (23 сентября 1810), образовали независимую республику Западная Флорида, которая в том же году вошла в состав США. Статус города с 1817. Во время Гражданской войны [ Civil War] (1862) город был захвачен северянами, оставлен на короткое время, но с декабря 1862 удерживался ими до конца конфликта. Статус столицы был восстановлен в 1882. Промышленное развитие Батон-Ружа было во многом обусловлено стратегическим географическим положением и близостью месторождений нефти и газа. Крупный морской порт в устье р. Миссисипи [ Mississippi River] и на Мексиканском заливе [ Mexico, Gulf of] (речные баржи, суда "река-море"). Мост через р. Миссисипи (на западном берегу расположены преимущественно нефтеперерабатывающие заводы и плантации сахарного тростника). Центр нефтепереработки и нефтехимии (производство синтетического каучука, минеральных удобрений, органических химикатов). Промышленный пояс сконцентрирован на берегу реки вдоль дороги Ривер-Роуд [River Road], идущей из Нового Орлеана. Торговый центр сельскохозяйственного района (соя, сахарный тростник); первый нефтеперерабатывающий завод построен в 1909 компанией "Стандард ойл" [ Standard Oil Company]. Производство глинозема. Аэропорт [Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport]. В районе - добыча нефти, газа, серы. Юридический факультет [Law Center] Университета штата Луизиана [ Louisiana State University], Южный университет [Southern University], Сельскохозяйственный и технический колледж [Agricultural and Mechanical College] (1880). Над городом возвышается 34-этажное здание капитолия штата [State Capitol] со смотровой башней, построенное в 1932 по указанию губернатор Х. Лонга [ Long, Huey Pierce], одно из самых высоких на Юге. Среди других достопримечательностей - старое здание Капитолия штата [Old State Capitol], старинный особняк губернатора [Old Governor's Mansion], Музей сельской жизни [Rural Life Museum], Центр истории мореплавания [Nautical Historic Center], где на вечном приколе находится эсминец "Кидд" [U.S.S. Kidd], прошедший через многие морские сражения второй мировой войны. Город управляется по схеме "мэр-городской совет" [ mayor-council plan].English-Russian dictionary of regional studies > Baton Rouge

истФедеральное ведомство [ federal agency], в ведении которого было осуществление федеральных программ по строительству дорог. Основано в 1894 как Управление по изучению дорог [Office of Road Inquiry] в составе министерства сельского хозяйства США [ Department of Agriculture, U.S.]; в 1916-18 - Управление общественных дорог и инженерных работ в сельской местности [Office of Public Roads and Rural Engineering], с 1918 называлось Бюро общественных дорог. В 1939 перешло в ведение Агентства федеральных работ [ Federal Works Agency]; под названием Администрация общественных дорог [Public Roads Administration] просуществовало до 1949, когда часть его функций была передана Администрации общих служб [ General Services Administration], а самому ведомству возвращено прежнее название - Бюро общественных дорог. В том же году ведомство вошло в состав Министерства торговли США [ Department of Commerce, U.S.]. В 1966 Бюро вошло в состав Министерства транспорта [ Department of Transportation, U.S.], а функции были переданы Федеральной администрации шоссейных дорог [ Federal Highway Administration].English-Russian dictionary of regional studies > Bureau of Public Roads

116 The Regeneration
(1851-71)An era of relative economic progress and political stability during the third quarter of the 19th century. The Regeneration followed a period of intense political instability and uncertainty (1807-51), with invasions, wars, and civil wars, and represented the inception of modern economic and industrial development in Portugal. In terms of administrative continuity and governmental stability and accomplishment, the Regeneration was the most hopeful era of the constitutional monarchy (1834-1910). It began in 1851, with a military revolt led by the Duke of Saldanha, one of the conquerors and victors of the Patuleia revolt and civil war (1846-47) and was supported by various groups and factions that desired civic peace, order, and economic improvement.Of the Regeneration leaders, Fontes Pereira de Melo became the major personality and mastermind of this era, which witnessed the beginnings of Portugal's main railroad and road system, as well as the initiation of modern industrial and commercial activities. The Regeneration affected the economies of the Lisbon and Oporto regions more than the provinces, but the rural areas also benefited from the changes that came from the new economic activities.
