King's Garden (biblical Place)
The King's Garden ( he, גן המלך, ''Gan HaMelekh'') is a location mentioned in the Hebrew Bible ( and ), and associated by biblical archaeologists with the Al-Bustan neighbourhood in the Silwan area of East Jerusalem. Al-Bustan has traditionally been believed to be part of the royal gardens of the Israelite kings, though, according to B'Tselem, "the exact location and nature of the biblical garden are not known and there are no archeological or other findings in al-Bustan to suggest that this is in fact the location." Location The only place in historical Jerusalem where water is flowing year-round, thanks to the nearby Gihon Spring, allowing for permanent growth of natural vegetation and agriculture, is at the confluence of the Kidron and the Central (aka Tyropoeon) valleys.E.

Al-Bustan (East Jerusalem)
Al-Bustan ( ar, البستان) is a well-watered area and neighbourhood located to the south of Wadi Hilweh in the Silwan area of East Jerusalem, and currently consists of more than 100 Palestinian homes. The area is the subject of a controversial proposed Israeli development project that envisions demolishing the existing houses and creating a national park, while constructing new four-story apartment buildings around it into which the current residents would be relocated. The area was ruled by Jordan from 1948 until 1967, when it was occupied by Israel, which then annexed it in 1980 in a move widely condemned internationally. History Until 1967, Al-Bustan was an areas of fruit tree cultivation in Wadi Hilweh for residents of Silwan. Under the 1976 Israeli city master plan No. 9, Al-Bustan was designated as open space and construction was prohibited, allowing only for the few buildings already in place.

Fort Ticonderoga
Fort Ticonderoga (), formerly Fort Carillon, is a large 18th-century star fort built by the French at a narrows near the south end of Lake Champlain, in northern New York, in the United States. It was constructed by Canadian-born French military engineer Michel Chartier de Lotbinière, Marquis de Lotbinière between October 1755 and 1757, during the action in the "North American theater" of the Seven Years' War, often referred to in the US as the French and Indian War. The fort was of strategic importance during the 18th-century colonial conflicts between Great Britain and France, and again played an important role during the Revolutionary War. The site controlled a river portage alongside the mouth of the rapids-infested La Chute River, in the between Lake Champlain and Lake George. It was thus strategically placed for the competition over trade routes between the British-controlled Hudson River Valley and the French-controlled Saint Lawrence River Valley. The terrain ...

King's Schools
King's Schools is a private Christian school, Preschool through 12th grade, located in Shoreline, Washington. 98% of the graduates of King's High School go on to higher education. History King's was founded in 1950 by Mike and Vivian Martin. Originally called "King's Garden", the school's roots were in weekly Bible studies and fellowship meetings in the Martin's home. Controversy over Anti-LGBTQ stance In September 2019, it was revealed through multiple media sources around the globe that King's Schools (and their parent organization Crista Ministries), had hardened their stance on acceptance of homosexuality at the school. This policy required teachers to disavow same-sex relationships, both on the job and in their personal lives. It further required that they teach that homosexuality is “a result of the failure to worship God,” a belief that has little to no biblical support. Once notified of this policy, numerous teachers left of their own accord and more were forced ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Beginnings In July 1947, the London County Council (LCC) declared Bermondsey a Reconstruction Area, reconstruction area and, as part of wholesale post-war regeneration, approved the idea of extending Southwark Park to the river. The idea of a link to the river pre-dated the World War II, Second World War by a few years, but the post-war need to reconstruct gave this aim more resonance. In January 1948, the LCC Planning Committee endorsed the policy of a park by the river at King's Stairs riverside. Putting the policy into practice proved to be a slow business because of a combination of objections from, among others, Metropolitan Borough of Bermondsey, Bermondsey Council and local businesses. For instance, in 1953, the County of London Plan was subject to an Inquiry, and the Bermondse ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
