Agric. Minister launches National Youth Farm
July 7, 2015 By Victoria Saffa
In a bid to promote young people across the country to be self-reliant, Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Food Security over the weekend launched the National Youth Farm Project at a special ceremony held at Masalia village in the outskirts of Masiaka town in the Port Loko District.
The farm, which covers about 250 acres, was acquired by the Youth Affairs Ministry for the purpose of creating jobs for jobless youths thus contributing to the country's food sufficiency program and increasing foreign exchange earnings, among others.
Speaking during the ceremony, Dr. Joseph Sam Sesay commended his colleague minister for what he referred to as "a brave initiative in promoting President Ernest Bai Koroma's Agenda for Prosperity", and described the location of the farm as "very strategic".
He also praised the Youth Affairs Minister, Alimamy Koroma, for demonstrating leadership qualities, noting that the pioneers of the project would certainly become heroes, while others live to tell the story.
"Agriculture contributes immensely to the country's Gross Domestic Product. It is the backbone of every [country's economy]. This farm is very important and we must do more," he said.
Dr. Sesay ended up by thanking Plan International and other partners, workers and the Youth Ministry for supporting the cause of the President.
Also speaking, Plan Sierra Leone Country Director, Casely Coleman, maintained that his organization has collaborated with the Youth Affairs Ministry to promote young people's aspirations.
He disclosed that the project, which will be implemented in collaboration with the Youth Ministry, will support some 20,000 young men and women in five districts, starting with the Masalia farm as a pilot phase.
He stated that young people needed support to enable them access capital and to start their own businesses and vocations.
According to him, 72% of the working age population in the country are out of job and financially insecure with only 9% of the workforce in formal employment.
Mr. Casely noted that the project was in line with Plan International's Ebola recovery strategy in which livelihood was core, and its components include district youth farms; agri-business farmers and saving groups; skills and knowledge transfer for improved agro-production; processing and marketing; small and medium enterprise management.
He emphasized the organization's support to youth development in the country.
On his part, Youth Affairs Minister, Alimamy A. Kamara, told the gathering that he took up the challenge after President Koroma pronounced that he would "die for the youth" following his re-election in 2012.
He disclosed that they attracted and utilized merger funding of U$74,000 and U$30,000 from international partners like IFAD and the Ministry of Agriculture to start the project.
"Today some 200 people are working on the farm, 131 are receiving stipends with some volunteers. Our intention is to actively engage 2,000 youths in this farm and making them self-reliant," the minister disclosed.

A kanári fenyő (Pinus canariensis) az ősnövénytani leletek tanúsága szerint egykor valószínűleg az északi flórabirodalom nagy területein élhetett, de a Würm-glaciális után Makaronéziába szorult vissza. Erre utal az is, hogy a tőle meglehetősen távol élő himalájai hosszútűs fenyő (Pinus roxburghii) a megtévesztésig hasonlít hozzá. Mint neve is mutatja, főleg a Kanári-szigeteken fordul(t) elő; elterjedési területe mára az öt nyugati szigetre (Gran Canaria, Tenerife, La Gomera, La Palma, El Hierro) szorult össze. A különböző szigeteken élő fenyők kloroplasztiszainak genetikai elemzése kimutatta, hogy a kanári fenyő őse a korai kréta időszakban jutott át a szárazföldről a szigetekre.

Megjelenése

A szárazabb vidékeken tömött, máshol ritkás ágrendszerű fa. Húsz-harminc méter magasra nő; kúpos koronája idővel lekerekedik. Kérge sokáig vörösbarna, aprón pikkelyes, később bordás, illetve nagy táblákra repedezik.. Hajtásain a tűk sokáig magányosak, visszatérően "fiatalkori", azaz "valódi levelesek" (euphyllum), sűrű, finom rajzolattal pikkelyesek. Húsz–harminc centiméteresre is megnövő, vékony, fényes világoszöld vagy hamvas tűi hosszú szálú fűcsomókként hajlanak alá az ágvégeken. A hármasával növő tűk fiatalon kékes árnyalatúak, később világoszöldek; hosszabbak, mint a ma is a Mediterráneumban élő közeli rokon fajokéi (P. eldarica, P. halepensis). 8–17 cm-es tobozai hengeres-kúposak, csontszerűen kemények; élelt pajzsuk határozottan ormos és kiemelkedik, a köldöke tompa.

Életmódja

Örökzöld, de tűit tavasszal, egy viszonylag rövid időszakban váltja. Tenerifén, Gran Canarián, Hierrón, La Gomerán és La Palmán is főleg a középmagas övben (1100–2200 m magasan) nő.

A talaj minőségére nem érzékeny, a szárazságot jól tűri. Ha elég vizet kap, gyorsan nő. A világos helyeket szereti. Fagyérzékeny, ezért Magyarországon csak kedvező mikroklímájú helyekre ültethető ki.

He also made two capitals of molten bronze to set on the tops of the pillars; the height of the one capital was five cubits and the height of the other capital was five cubits. There were nets of network and twisted threads of chainwork for the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital and seven for the other capital. So he made the pillars, and two rows around on the one network to cover the capitals which were on the top of the pomegranates; and so he did for the other capital. The capitals which were on the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily design, four cubits. There were capitals on the two pillars, even above and close to the rounded projection which was beside the network; and the pomegranates numbered two hundred in rows around both capitals. Thus he set up the pillars at the porch of the nave; and he set up the right pillar and named it Jachin, and he set up the left pillar and named it Boaz. On the top of the pillars was lily design. So the work of the pillars was finished. Scripture Art

So he made the pillars, and two rows around on the one network to cover the capitals which were on the top of the pomegranates; and so he did for the other capital. The capitals which were on the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily design, four cubits. There were capitals on the two pillars, even above and close to the rounded projection which was beside the network; and the pomegranates numbered two hundred in rows around both capitals. Thus he set up the pillars at the porch of the nave; and he set up the right pillar and named it Jachin, and he set up the left pillar and named it Boaz. On the top of the pillars was lily design. So the work of the pillars was finished. Now he made the sea of cast metal ten cubits from brim to brim, circular in form, and its height was five cubits, and thirty cubits in circumference. Under its brim gourds went around encircling it ten to a cubit, completely surrounding the sea; the gourds were in two rows, cast with the rest. It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east; and the sea was set on top of them, and all their rear parts turned inward. It was a handbreadth thick, and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, as a lily blossom; it could hold two thousand baths. Then he made the ten stands of bronze; the length of each stand was four cubits and its width four cubits and its height three cubits. This was the design of the stands: they had borders, even borders between the frames, and on the borders which were between the frames were lions, oxen and cherubim; and on the frames there was a pedestal above, and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work. Now each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles, and its four feet had supports; beneath the basin were cast supports with wreaths at each side. Its opening inside the crown at the top was a cubit, and its opening was round like the design of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and also on its opening there were engravings, and their borders were square, not round. The four wheels were underneath the borders, and the axles of the wheels were on the stand. And the height of a wheel was a cubit and a half. The workmanship of the wheels was like the workmanship of a chariot wheel. Their axles, their rims, their spokes, and their hubs were all cast. Now there were four supports at the four corners of each stand; its supports were part of the stand itself. On the top of the stand there was a circular form half a cubit high, and on the top of the stand its stays and its borders were part of it. He engraved on the plates of its stays and on its borders, cherubim, lions and palm trees, according to the clear space on each, with wreaths all around. He made the ten stands like this: all of them had one casting, one measure and one form. He made ten basins of bronze, one basin held forty baths; each basin was four cubits, and on each of the ten stands was one basin. Then he set the stands, five on the right side of the house and five on the left side of the house; and he set the sea of cast metal on the right side of the house eastward toward the south. Now Hiram made the basins and the shovels and the bowls. So Hiram finished doing all the work which he performed for King Solomon in the house of the LORD: the two pillars and the two bowls of the capitals which were on the top of the two pillars, and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for each network to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the tops of the pillars; and the ten stands with the ten basins on the stands; and the one sea and the twelve oxen under the sea; and the pails and the shovels and the bowls; even all these utensils which Hiram made for King Solomon in the house of the LORD were of polished bronze. In the plain of the Jordan the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan. Solomon left all the utensils unweighed, because they were too many; the weight of the bronze could not be ascertained. Solomon made all the furniture which was in the house of the LORD: the golden altar and the golden table on which was the bread of the Presence; and the lampstands, five on the right side and five on the left, in front of the inner sanctuary, of pure gold; and the flowers and the lamps and the tongs, of gold; and the cups and the snuffers and the bowls and the spoons and the firepans, of pure gold; and the hinges both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, that is, of the nave, of gold. Thus all the work that King Solomon performed in the house of the LORD was finished And Solomon brought in the things dedicated by his father David, the silver and the gold and the utensils, and he put them in the treasuries of the house of the LORD. Scripture Art
For the entrance of the inner sanctuary he made doors of olive wood, the lintel and five-sided doorposts. So he made two doors of olive wood, and he carved on them carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold; and he spread the gold on the cherubim and on the palm trees. So also he made for the entrance of the nave four-sided doorposts of olive woodread more. Goodnews Art
The porch which was in front of the house was as long as the width of the house, twenty cubits, and the height 120; and inside he overlaid it with pure gold. He overlaid the main room with cypress wood and overlaid it with fine gold, and ornamented it with palm trees and chains. Further, he adorned the house with precious stones; and the gold was gold from Parvaim.read more. Goodnews Art

A young man wrote us that he was on his way to commit suicide. He had failed so often in his life and felt totally worthless and empty. He was disappointed in churches and people and made a decision to end his life. On his way to death, he came across a piece of Christian wall art, designed by David Sorensen. This artwork expressed the passionate love God has for us, and it shows us how valuable we are to Him. It touched the heart of this young man so deeply, that he started crying. He was filed with the truth of God's love for him, and turned around, back home. Later he started a christian ministry among the youth of his community…. Scripture Verse Art
Christian wall art can have a deep impact on your life. God can speak directly to your heart through a piece of art that was inspired by His Holy Spirit. The Christian wall art designed by David Sorensen has touched thousands of lives, all over the world. Many people testified how a piece of Christian wall art literally saved their life or how God used this art to heal a trauma in their heart. People came back to the Lord, after seeing one of our Christian artworks, and some were inspired to a deeper life of dedication to Jesus Christ. Scripture Art
This Christian wall art sows some of the most powerful and meaningful names of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is first of all the Christ, the Son of the living God, the Messiah. Jesus is also the Lamb of God, slain for the sins of the world. He is the healer by whose wounds we are healed. Jesus is the King of kings and Lord of lords and the Lion of the tribe of Judah. He is the Savior of the world and the Name above all names. Jesus is also the Way, the Truth and the Life. He is the gift of God, who gives us eternal life.
Then I saw another beast rising out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon. It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence, and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed. It performs great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people, and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast it deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast that was wounded by the sword and yet lived. And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain. ...

Now King Solomon sent and brought Hiram from Tyre. He was a widow's son from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in bronze; and he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill for doing any work in bronze So he came to King Solomon and performed all his work. He fashioned the two pillars of bronze; eighteen cubits was the height of one pillar, and a line of twelve cubits measured the circumference of both.read more. Scripture Art
And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation, and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth." Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!" ...

Sometimes, pod is better, and this week J and Q prove that by floating on down and talking all things Stephen King. Today marks the official release of Kölsch and Widmyer's remake of Pet Sematary, so we celebrate by going on a trip through history to visit King's coke-addled 80s adventures, the 90s King dramas, and the ongoing Kingassainse to discuss which films worked, which ones didn't and which ones still make us make a Cujo in our tighty whiteys.
We cap this week by creating your definitive list of the Top 5 Stephen King Adaptations of all time! These are the ones that took the story King wrote and presented them the best and most faithfully on-screen. Trust us, people are going to want to know your opinions once this new Pet Sematary and IT: Chapter 2 come out this year. Don't get caught with your Tommyknockers hangin' out!


When I first heard about a new spinoff Star Trek show that was going to be premiering in January of 1993, I really didn't think much of it. The Next Generation was still going strong at that point and quite frankly, I wasn't all that interested in a Star Trek show that wasn't about the voyages of the starship Enterprise. That was what Star Trek meant to me and what separated it from other sci-fi shows. Without the name of the ship that had captured my imagination from the age of 5, a Star Trek show would not have that magic. I would simply keep on watching TNG. That is indeed what wound up happening over the next two years, but as I was fresh out of high school, had just entered the workforce and was preparing to enter my first semester of college, I decided to at least check out the pilot; if nothing else, to see what Chief O'Brien was going to be moving on to.
The character of O'Brien had gone through a very satisfying metamorphosis from being just an extra in the background to a regular fixture in the transporter room. By the fourth season of TNG, he had become popular enough to gain a first and middle name and a new wife named Keiko. And by the fifth season of TNG, was a family man and as much a member of the team as the regular cast; so it was extremely gratifying to me that this new show sported "Colm Meaney as Chief O'Brien" in its main cast. I thought it was well-deserved.
Patrick Stewart's role of Captain Picard/Locutus of Borg would be seeing off this new show, and I loved how it introduced the new show's lead, one Commander Benjamin Sisko (Avery Brooks) on the bridge of the U.S.S. Saratoga at the Battle of Wolfe 359! There we saw that battle actually played out for the first time, and we saw that Sisko's wife was among the many casualties.
It was a tremendously spectacular beginning for this new pilot.
Along the way, we meet the other characters of the new show, learn some of the politics and discover the galaxy's first stable wormhole.
Then the Enterprise left the station, leaving O'Brien, Sisko and these other new characters to either shine or fail on their own. They were an interesting bunch: a former Bajoran freedom fighter, a shapeshifter, a Trill science officer, the Commander's son, a cocky young fresh out of the med-school doctor and …a Ferengi?!?! On top of that, instead of being assigned to a starship and going places to explore, they were assigned to a space station that didn't go anywhere and the action would have to come to them! I really did wonder how this show would find it's footing.
Then the wormhole is discovered, and Sisko must communicate his intentions to the non-physical and non-linear beings who inhabit it. They seem to be threatened by humans' violent nature and say he must be destroyed and in order to survive, Sisko must make the case for humanity and our linear existence.
"Oh…the rules aren't important. What's important is…it's linear!
I was truly impressed. What a terrific metaphor for life! There was no doubt that the writers of this show were really trying. And best of all, they were staying true to the spirit of Star Trek, with a pilot what was right up there with "The Cage" in cerebral ideas and that good old Roddenberrian optimism.
Sisko mourns the loss of his wife, forgives Picard, and accepts his new assignment and all the challenges it will entail with gusto. I really liked this character.
But… I was going to be working and studying now and no longer had time for such things. I would not be a regular viewer of Deep Space Nine during its initial run. Nor would I be catching very much of seasons six or seven of TNG. I was 18 years old (I would turn 19 two months later), now legally an adult and trying to assume some semblance of adult responsibilities and salvage some future for myself in the wake of being disqualified from the Air Force for a benign heart condition.
I honestly didn't think then that DS9 would have as long of a run as TNG, despite my being really impressed with "Emissary." I just didn't think the premise of exploration from a space station would hold for that long.
Years later, when all seven seasons of the show were readily available on Netflix, I finally had the chance to binge-watch all seven seasons of this show…and felt truly inspired. There were SO many more good episodes that I had never seen that touched on a lot of issues people face in many walks of life, and the toll taken on soldiers who fight and defend what they love in a war. Some might say that a war story is not what Star Trek should be about, but it is a real issue that people do face, and I can't think of very many shows that did it better.
They faced challenges, moral dilemmas, had to compromise their principles more than once and suffered tremendous losses, but through it all, they continued to endure. Star Trek is about so much more than simply the voyages of the starship Enterprise, it's about all of us!
A new kind of Trek magic began 25 years ago.

Q: Box.Net Create Folder Bad Request 400 Dim url As String = String.Format("{0}folders/{1}", boxApiUrl, ParentFolderId)  'ParentFolderId being pass is "0"
    Using request = New HttpRequestMessage() With {.RequestUri = New Uri(url), .Method = HttpMethod.Post}
        request.Headers.Authorization = New System.Net.Http.Headers.AuthenticationHeaderValue("Authorization", "Bearer " + acctoken)

       Dim data As Dictionary(Of [String], [String]) = New Dictionary(Of String, String)()
       data.Add("name", FolderName)

       Dim content As HttpContent = New FormUrlEncodedContent(data)
       request.Content = content
       Dim response = _httpClient.SendAsync(request).Result
       If response.IsSuccessStatusCode Then
                '
       End If
    End Using

My suspicion is that data is not being put together properly but can't figure out how else to pass folder name to be created under the root.  All other functions (reading root folder, uploading file, etc.) using the token works fine.

A: The parent folder ID is passed in the POST body, not the URL. The body should be JSON data in the form: { "name": "FolderName", "parent": { "id": "ParentFolderId" }}. Documentation.
Dim url As String = String.Format("{0}folders", boxApiUrl)
Using request = New HttpRequestMessage() With {.RequestUri = New Uri(url), .Method = HttpMethod.Post}
    request.Headers.Authorization = New System.Net.Http.Headers.AuthenticationHeaderValue("Authorization", "Bearer " + acctoken)

   Dim format as String = @"{{ ""name"":""{0}"", ""parent"": {{ ""id"":""{1}"" }} }}";
   Dim body as String = String.Format(format, FolderName, ParentFolderId);
   request.Content = New StringContent(body, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json")

   Dim response = _httpClient.SendAsync(request).Result
   If response.IsSuccessStatusCode Then
            '
   End If
End Using

As an aside, you can use Json.NET's JsonConvert.SerializeObject method to serialize an anonymous or static type to a JSON string:
Dim obj = New With {Key .name = FolderName,
                        .parent = New With {Key .id = ParentFolderId }};
Dim body as String = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(body);
request.Content = New StringContent(body, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json")

Born in 1935 into a family of four children, some of Christopher Irven's earliest memories were of the war years. His father was in the Army and after the war, so that he could get to know his own children and they him, he took them out of school to bring the entire family to Kenya where he had just begun a tour with the Kings African Rifles. After two years Christopher returned to England with his elder sister to go to boarding school, as the education afforded by the Irish missionaries in Nairobi was tough but sketchy. He was educated at Ampleforth College and, though recommended to read physics at Cambridge, was unable to do so because there was no family money left to support further education. In those days for all but the well heeled the pressing need was to start earning a living: there was no such thing as a gap year, student loans or free university tuition. So, on leaving school Irven went straight into the Army at four shillings a day and, after basic training, to Sandhurst before commissioning. The whole Army process was an education, and in its way a good one. Throughout his life an officer was expected to master a wide range of skills and knowledge to fit him for a mapped-out career. Weapons technology was being constantly stimulated by the Cold War arms race, and for Irven this led to a master's degree course at the Royal Military College of Science. He served in the UK, in Germany, and the Far East where he saw active service in Borneo, and finally the first Gulf War. As a young captain he married Molly in 1961 and they brought up seven children in the close 'regimental family' setting of Army life.
On leaving the Army, they bought a house in Gillingham in Dorset. There he involved himself in the local Catholic parish; in charity work; in teaching theology, higher mathematics and physics; and domestic electrical wiring. He also got involved in broadcasting on the local radio, one of a team doing Thoughts for the Day, until the new owners of the radio station decided they "didn't do God" and dropped the programme.
While on holiday in Rhodes with his wife and two of the children, he was involved in a life-changing experience. He sustained major injuries when hit by a truck while crossing the road, leading to two months in hospital and two months' rehabilitation – during which he was found to have leukaemia contracted from poisoning in the first Gulf War. Once recovered, he decided to take full control of his own health by cycling nearly 2000 miles alone from Lands End to John O'Groats and back, sleeping rough. This worked, and he returned to one of the loves of his youth, alpine mountaineering. But his cycling "pilgrimage"	had got under his skin, and to date he has done two more – a second one of 1000 miles in Spain with a friend, and the third of over 2000 miles alone through France and the Pyrenees. He prefers travelling alone as it gives him time to think: 8 hours and 73 miles every day, through constantly changing climate, scenery and challenges. Two years ago he suffered a minor stroke but rapidly recovered, and learnt to paraglide in the French Alps later that year. Recently, at the age of 72 he became the oldest man by 10 years to climb Mount Kenya, 16,400 feet in three days. His continuing enthusiasm for extreme sports included a bungee jump, and in the face of such disregard his leukaemia seems to have given up the struggle for supremacy, at least for the time being.
Intellectually, from a very young age he had been consumed by a penetrating curiosity into the nature of things. As a boy this showed itself in experiments in things mechanical, electrical and explosive. Later, he became absorbed in powerful hunting bows with a cast of 350 yards, and at about that time developed a devouring interest in theoretical physics and cosmology, branching into the philosophy of science. In the last 20 years these disparate threads have been drawn together in a critical exploration of Christian theology. This latter development, backed by the experiences of a varied and colourful life, led him to write three books. The first sank without trace shortly after being published when Minerva Press was acquired and declared bankrupt by the new owner. But undaunted, he rewrote the subject matter into two books, in the light of his own developing theological insights which give his writing a fresh, challenging and very moving approach 'outside the box' of traditional religious devotions.
Irven is also a watercolour artist, loves classical music, and is devoted to his wife and growing family which now numbers 20 grandchildren.

History of a Family Business
1885 - 1960: A family business is born
Usm was founded in 1885 as a metal working and locksmith's business by Ulrich Schaerer. The factory and headquarters were built in Munsingen, Switzerland, where they remain to this day. In the early decades of the 20th century, USM began specialising in window fittings, then ornamental hinges and precision-machined sheet steel.
1960s: Evolving into a world-class furniture business
Paul Schaerer joined the company in 1961, marking three generations of the Schaerer family's stewardship of USM. Having studied engineering at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, he was determined to update the business - starting with USM's own factory and headquarters. He commissioned architect Fritz Haller to design a new factory and office pavilion utilising a steel modular construction system that was flexible, so it could easily be adapted to various manufacturing processes and industry changes.
In 1963, Haller and Schaerer developed furniture to match the new buildings' modularity and versatility. The furniture, like the buildings, was built not around individual pieces but a system of steel modules that could be adapted and reconfigured to meet the diverse needs of the company's factory and offices. The cornerstone of the system was the elegant and ingenious ball joint, for which they sought a patent for in 1965.
Though initially intended only for use in USM's own offices, the furniture system fast gathered attention for its versatility, durability and style. As a result, commercial production and sale of the USM Haller system began in 1969 with an order of 600 workstations for the Rothschild Bank in Paris, France.
1970 - 2000: Becoming a global company
Throughout the last decades of the twentieth century, USM spread its wings throughout the world, opening subsidiaries in Buehl (Germany), Charnay-lès-Mâcon (France) and New York (USA). The first USM showroom opened in Hamburg (Germany) in 1998.
In 1989, USM launched the USM Kitos, a range of customisable and height-adjustable desks and tables. Soon after, the fourth generation of the family joined the company, in the form of current CEO Alexander Schaerer.
2001 - Present: World-leaders in design and environmentalism
The USM Haller's status as an icon of modern design was solidified in 2001 when it was included in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.
USM continues to develop its environmental leadership. In 2007, the company was awarded Greenguard accreditation, certifying that its products have low chemical and particle emissions and therefore help to reduce indoor air pollution. USM furnishings were the first European products to meet Greenguard's rigorous standards.
USM also continues to spread its presence throughout the world. Showrooms have recently been opened in Paris (France), Tokyo (Japan), London (England), and Dusseldorf, Munich and Stuttgart (Germany). A new USA headquarters opened in New York in 2002 and a subsidiary was opened in Tokyo in 2008; a full UK subsidiary was opened in 2015.
In 2015, we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the USM Haller modular furniture system's creation.

Seattle Opera Announces 60th-Anniversary Season
Das Rheingold, Brian Staufenfels production; image (c) Cory Weaver
I'm delighted by the mix Seattle Opera has come up with for the 2023-24 season. Along with the first bit of Wagner's Ring to be staged here in a decade (setting aside an abridged concert Walküre performed a couple years ago), the company makes a rare outing with Handel in its first-ever production of Alcina, directed by Tim Albery and conducted by Christine Brandes, with Vanessa Goikoetxea as Alcina, Randall Scotting as Ruggiero, Sharleen Joynt as Morgana, and Ginger Costa-Jackson as Bradamante.
Malcolm X, the milestone debut opera by Anthony Davis from 1984, to a libretto by Thulani Davis, also promises to be a highlight. Presented in co-production with Detroit Opera, Opera Omaha, the Metropolitan Opera, and Lyric Opera of Chicago, it will be directed by Robert O'Hara, with a cast including Kevin Kellogg as the civil rights icon, Joshua Stewart as Street/Elijah Muhammad, and Leah Hawkins in her compay debut as Louise Little/Betty Shabazz. Kazem Abdullah conducts.
And even another go at Rossini's Barber of Seville (directed by Lindy Hume, new head of Opera San José) gets an interesting new angle with the wonderful young conductor Valentina Peleggi making her Seattle Opera debut.
Das Rheingold kicks the season off in August, in Brian Staufenbiel's production first introduced at Minnesota Opera in 2016. It will be a homecoming for Seattle Opera's beloved Wotan of Rings past, Greer Grimsley, heading a mostly American cast that includes Michael Mayes as Alberich, Melody Wilson as Fricka, Frederick Ballentine as Loge, Kenneth Kellogg as Fafner, Peixin Chen in his company debut as Fasolt, and Denyce Graves as Erda. Ludovic Morlot will conduct.
As to whether this presages the beginning of a new complete Ring, Seattle Opera tweeted: "We have no plans to produce the full Ring in the near future, but Wagner will continue to be a regular part of our seasons."
"I am thrilled to be able to celebrate 60 years of Seattle Opera with this first-rate lineup of artists and titles," said Christina Scheppelmann. "60 years is a significant milestone for any American opera company, and it's a testament to the strong tradition of opera and the performing arts in this city. This season will be both a reminder of that history and a promise of many more years to come."

La ilmenita es un mineral óxido de composición Fe2+Ti4+O3.
Fue descubierto por primera vez en el valle de Menaccan (Cornualles, Inglaterra) y descrito por William Gregor en 1791, recibiendo inicialmente el nombre de menaccanit  (o menachanit, menakanit o menakan).
Su denominación actual le fue asignada en 1827 por Adolph Theodor Kupffer (1799-1865) y hace referencia a los montes Ilmen (Ural, Rusia), su localidad tipo.
Otros nombres que recibe este mineral son titanoferrita y cibdelofana.

Propiedades
La ilmenita es un mineral opaco, de color negro hierro y brillo metálico o submetálico. Con luz reflejada adquiere una coloración gris con un tinte parduzco.
Es un mineral frágil que tiene una dureza entre 5 y 6 en la escala de Mohs y una densidad comprendida entre 4,68 y 4,76 g/cm³.
En ácido clorhídrico concentrado y caliente es relativamente soluble, pero en este mismo ácido diluido apenas es soluble; es también soluble en ácido sulfúrico.

Cristaliza en el sistema trigonal, clase romboédrica.
Presenta un marcado anisotropismo, con sombras en gris, y muestra una fuerte birreflectancia (O = pardo rosáceo; E = pardo oscuro).
Contiene un 47% de FeO y un 53% de TiO2, aunque estas proporciones son variables por la entrada de hierro trivalente, magnesio y manganeso en su estructura.
Es un mineral débilmente magnético y el miembro más importante del grupo mineralógico que lleva su nombre, al que también pertenecen ecandrewsita, geikielita y pirofanita, entre otros. Con estas dos últimas especies forma series mineralógicas.
Es dimorfo de la wangdaodeíta, mineral que también cristaliza en el sistema trigonal pero en otra clase cristalográfica.

Morfología y formación

La ilmenita se presenta en forma de cristales tabulares delgados y romboédricos. Por otra parte, en las arenas de las playas se suelen encontrar partículas muy pequeñas de este mineral, con diámetros de entre 0,1 y 0,2 mm.

Se encuentra en rocas metamórficas así como en rocas básicas ígneas (gabro, diabasa y piroxenita).
Es un mineral ortomagmático presente en casi todas las rocas eruptivas como mineral accesorio, en rocas eruptivas básicas y en pegmatitas asociadas a gabros; también es mineral sedimentario en placeres.
Por sus condiciones de génesis, constituye un «termómetro geológico», ya que casi siempre se forma a una temperatura superior a los 500 °C.

La ilmenita suele estar asociada a magnetita, hematita, rutilo, ulvöespinela, pirrotita y apatito.

Aplicaciones
La mayor parte de la ilmenita que se extrae se emplea en la producción de dióxido de titanio (TiO2). En 2011, aproximadamente el 47 % del dióxido de titanio producido en todo el mundo se obtuvo a partir de este mineral. El dióxido de titanio finamente molido es un polvo blanco brillante ampliamente utilizado como pigmento base en pinturas, papel, adhesivos, plásticos y pasta de dientes.

Por otra parte, la ilmenita es la principal mena para obtener titanio metálico. Pequeñas cantidades de titanio combinadas con determinados metales dan lugar a aleaciones ligeras, duraderas y de gran resistencia. Estas aleaciones se utilizan para fabricar una gran variedad de piezas y herramientas de alto rendimiento, tales como partes de aeronaves, articulaciones artificiales en humanos y material deportivo (por ejemplo, cuadros de bicicleta).

Yacimientos
La ilmenita es un mineral muy extendido, especialmente a escala microscópica como componente de diversos tipos de rocas, y también de arenas. Además se han encontrado ejemplares bien cristalizados en numerosos emplazamientos. Entre ellos cabe destacar, en Rusia, los montes Ilmen (Ural) y el macizo de Lovozero (península de Kola); en Noruega, Arendal (Aust-Agder); en Estados Unidos, Newcomb (Nueva York); en Mexico, (Chiapas y Oaxaca).

En España la ilmenita es relativamente abundante en los arenales del noroeste de Galicia, generalmente asociada con rutilo, habiéndose explotado ambos minerales a escala industrial como menas de titanio. Yacimientos de este tipo se encontraban en la Braña Rubia, en Coristanco (La Coruña), y en otras zonas de Tordoia y Valle del Dubra. En la playa de Balerés, en el municipìo de Ponteceso, también se explotó la ilmenita en las décadas de 1940 y 1950. En la Loma del Zorro, en Vincios (Pontevedra) se ha encontrado en forma de cantos sueltos de tamaño centimétrico, junto con manganocolumbita. En Ituero de Azaba (Salamanca) estuvo también en explotación un yacimiento con casiterita e ilmenita. En el paraje de El Juanar, en OJén (Málaga), se encuentra la ilmenita como cristales bien formados, de un tamaño de hasta 1 cm. En la mina Amable, en San Rafael (Segovia) se encontró ilmenita ligeramente radiactiva, que se supuso que podía ser una especie nueva a la que se dio el nombre de guadarramita.

Ilmenita lunar
Se ha encontrado ilmenita en las rocas de la Luna y en 2005, la NASA utilizó el telescopio espacial Hubble para localizar lugares potencialmente ricos en Ilmenita. Este mineral podría ser fundamental a la hora de crear una base lunar; la ilmenita proporcionaría una fuente de hierro y titanio muy importante para los elementos estructurales, además de poder obtenerse oxígeno a partir de ella.

As the city decides how to build its first new bridge in decades, should Portlanders push for form or function?
By Mike Thelin 5/19/2009 at 5:55pm Published in the April 2009 issue of Portland Monthly
Architect Miguel Rosales's hybrid proposal for the next bridge over the Willamette River.
Image: Rosales and Partners
It's been thirty-six years since the city of bridges built a new span over the Willamette River. The tenth and most recent came in late 1973, when the Fremont Bridge, a steel-arched, double-decker emblem of the car-centric 1970s, took its position in the Northwest Portland skyline.
With the coming of the Willamette River Bridge in 2011, Portland has the chance to build a showcase structure that captures the city's momentum as a national leader in smart mass transit, sustainability, and urban planning. The bridge—which would connect the Central East Side Industrial District just south of OMSI with the South Waterfront, and run a new MAX light-rail line to Milwaukie—would be the first in the nation built solely for mass transit and pedestrians. And yet what have the planners plucked from the idea box? Essentially an off-the-rack design that might as well say, "Welcome to Portland—we're unoriginal!"
After narrowing the design options created by renowned Boston-based bridge architect Miguel Rosales from twelve to two, TriMet's Willamette River Bridge Advisory Committee preliminarily chose a typical, towering cable-stayed span over Rosales's "wave" bridge, whose design features parallel wavelike arches and is unlike that of any other bridge in the country.
At about $113 million, the cable-stayed option is decidedly cheaper than the one-of-a-kind, $176 million wave design, which helps explain why, in America, the cable-stayed is as ubiquitous as Starbucks. But, with 270-foot towers, the cable-stayed design is too big for what planners call "the pedestrian experience"—some worry the bridge would dominate the landscape.
In hopes of landing the best bridge possible despite the worst budget constraints since the Depression, Rosales has proposed another option: a hybrid cable-stayed-and-suspension span—a sort of minimalist rendition of New York City's famed Brooklyn Bridge.
With graceful, floating cable arches, the design echoes the aesthetics of the Ross Island Bridge and the esteemed St. Johns Bridge, and would, the MIT-trained Rosales says, cost just slightly more than the cable-stayed bridge. TriMet, though, has yet to analyze the hybrid's cost.
"I'm excited about this," says Guenevere Millius, a designer with SRM Architecture and Marketing and a member of the advisory committee. "[Rosales is] finding a great solution given the constraints."
In March, the committee recommended a cable-stayed option to TriMet. But they are leaving it up to TriMet and the Federal Transit Administration—which will pay for part of the project—to choose between the hybrid and the original design, a decision that will be made in the coming months.
Rosales, who holds the TriMet contract and will be paid the same amount no matter which design the committee selects, believes the city deserves better than bland. Bridges here have historically served more as functional necessities than artistic emblems, but building a bridge is a once-in-a-generation opportunity, and Portland is no longer just another small town between San Francisco and Seattle. The city has evolved into a creative-class demographer's dream, filled with designers and architects and chefs. "A great bridge could symbolize that creativity," Rosales says. And become a postcard-worthy landmark for generations to come.
