Be ye daysprings of generosity, dawning-points of the mysteries of existence, sites where inspiration alighteth, rising-places of splendours, souls that are sustained by the Holy Spirit, enamoured of the Lord, detached from all save Him, holy above the characteristics of humankind, clothed in the attributes of the angels of heaven, that ye may win for yourselves the highest bestowal of all, in this new time, this wondrous age.
(Abdu'l-Baha, Selections from the Writings of Abdu'l-Baha, p. 242)

Actively drilling petroleum well in Licking County, Ohio, USA. (February 2018) (site access generously provided by Gary Sitler for geoscience education purposes)
During the late 1800s, Ohio was the # 1 petroleum exporter on Earth. This is definitely not the case anymore! Despite this, Ohio today still has economic concentrations of oil and natural gas.
Ohio has three significant petroleum occurrences:
1) Trenton Limestone (upper Middle Ordovician) of northwestern Ohio.
2) Clinton Sandstone (Lower Silurian) of eastern Ohio.
3) Knox Group (Beekmantown Dolomite-Rose Run Sandstone-Copper Ridge/Trempealeau Dolomite) (Upper Cambrian to ?lowermost Ordovician) in the eastern ~half of Ohio.
Of these three petroleum systems, the Knox Group generally requires the deepest drilling. Most Knox Group drilling in Ohio targets the Rose Run Sandstone, an interbedded quartzose sandstone-dolostone unit of Late Cambrian age.
The well shown above is being actively drilled (as of February 2018). It was targeting a paleotopographic high at the Knox Unconformity and hoping to encounter petroleum in porous dolostone.
Update: as of fall 2018, this well was producing petroleum from the Upper Trempealeau Dolomite (also known as the Copper Ridge Dolomite). Petroleum is coming from porous dolostones below the Knox Unconformity. The Knox is a megasequence boundary (Sloss sequence boundary) that separates the Sauk Megasequence below from the Tippecanoe Megasequence above.
The following are formation picks for this well (the numbers are from the completion record filed with the Ohio Division of Natural Resources, Division of Oil and Gas Resources):
375 feet depth = top of the Berea Sandstone (lowermost Devonian)
1190 feet depth = top of the "Big Lime" (= Devonian and Silurian carbonate succession, including the Delaware Limestone, Columbus Limestone, and Silurian dolostones)
1992 feet depth = top of the "Packer Shell" (= Middle Silurian Dayton Formation equivalent)
3324 feet depth = Trenton Limestone (upper Middle Ordovician, sensu traditio; lower Upper Ordovician, sensu novo)
3855 feet depth = Gull River Limestone (Middle Ordovician)
3920 feet depth = Knox Unconformity with Trempealeau Dolomite below (Upper Cambrian)

Generosity week ran from February 24th to March 2nd 2014 at USF as a way for students to give thanks for the generosity of all the donors that contribute to the University of San Francisco.
The week started with a Generosity Food Truck Kickoff, a “Thank You” banner signing and a chance for students to meet the student philanthropy committee.
Could you imagine USF without any of these buildings or statues?
Lo Schiavo Science
75% of the cost of LCSI was funded by 3,407 donors. Gifts ranged in size from $2 to $10 million, from Alumni, Faculty, Staff, Parents, Friends, Foundation and Corporations.
Gleeson Library
The library has received over 4,000 donations from Alumni, Students, Faculty, Staff, Parents, Friends, Foundations and Corporations. Some of the books in Gleeson Library were donated to USF by students like you, through previous Senior Class Gift campaigns.
Kalmanovitz Hall
K-Hall was renovated in 2008, which was made possible by over 1,200 gifts from people like you. The Kalmanovitz Charitable Foundation has continued to support your USF experience as one of the University’s generous supporters.
Cowell Hall
The renovation and update of Cowell Hall in 1995 was made possible in part by the S.H. Cowell Foundation. Many additions, within Cowell Hall were made possible by gifts from people like you.
Malloy Hall
Renovated in 2004, this building is named for our current Chair of the Board of Trustees, Tom Malloy ’61 and his family. Their generosity helped make this building possible.
Runner Statue
Students like you made this statue possible. The Runner Statue was made possible by the USF class of 1986, who raised over $8000 as part of their Senior Class Gift.
Leona and Dominic Tarantino Plaza
This plaza is named for Leona and Dom’54 Tarantino, alumni and trustee emeriti. Their generosity helped to make this space possible.
Koret Health and Recreation Center
Without the support of the Koret Foundation, USF would not have this Garden Courtyard, the Koret Gym, or the Koret Law Center. Without their generosity, many spaces at USF would not be possible.

I saw this old man in Tehran's Darband area, feeding the ducks with the left over pieces of bread from the restaurant near by the river. The only negative thing in this image is the amount of garbage floating in the small river.
Not only is @Veselka an amazing restaurant but has also generously provided support of our workshops, "Capturing the Faces and Voices of the Lower East Side's Disappearing Storefronts," which will be held at the Neighborhood Preservation Center starting this Monday, April 24th. Registration is through Eventbrite.com and although we have reached full capacity of 70 participants, we are accepting people via waitlist. Veselka, located on 2nd Avenue at 9th Street, was established in 1954 by Ukranian immigrant Wlodymar Darmochal. It was originally established as a newsstand/candy store that also sold soup and sandwiches. Since the 1970s it has specialized in homemade pierogies, borscht and potato pancakes, which 2nd-generation owner Tom Birchard refers to as Ukranian SOUL FOOD! Veselka makes 3,000 pierogies every day, 2,500 potato pancakes every week and 5,000 gallons of borscht every year. There are 4 full-time women who make pierogis every day.
The Richard H. Simons Rainforest was created in 2000 thanks to a generous grant from Mr. Robert M. Kramer, trustee of the Richard H. Simons Charitable Trust. Our rainforest showcases plant diversity and has a paved path to allow for easy access to the many scenic locations found within its two acres. A meandering stream with waterfalls and cascades, flows throughout many areas of the rainforest. The stream is fed by water that is pumped from Glade Lake. The water is then gravity fed down the stream bed and later flows back into the lake where it is recycled.
Our rainforest is meant to showcase a globally imperiled habitat that is thought to house at least half of all species on earth. The Fairchild rainforest, at just over two acres, is a tiny example of what is known as a tropical rainforest which are typically found much closer to the equator. Using the current global rate of rainforest destruction, one and half acres of rainforest are destroyed each second, meaning an area similar in size to our rainforest would be destroyed in less time than it would take to read this sentence. With the incredible amount of plant and animal diversity found in the rainforests, it is possible that species are being lost before they are even being discovered.
Rainforests consist of four levels: the emergent level, the canopy, the understory and the forest floor. The emergent level is the very top of the forest and is above the canopy. It contains only the fastest growing and tallest trees that have broken through the canopy, as well as, butterflies, bats, monkeys and birds of prey. Below the emergent level is the canopy which contains the majority of plant, insect and animal life found in the forest. Some estimates claim that 50% of all plant species in the world are found in the rainforest canopy. Forest canopies were not begun to be explored until the 1980s and still have not been thoroughly researched. It is thought that millions of species still remain undiscovered. Below the canopy is the understory where only 5% of the forest sunlight penetrates. Predators such as boa constrictors and jaguars are found here along with a multitude of insects, snakes, lizards and birds. Beneath it all one finds the forest floor. A rainforest’s floor is relatively barren of plant life due to the low amount of light that reaches the forest floor. The floor does contain a large amount of decaying plant and animal material that is recycled back into nutrients which are then taken up by the roots of the towering plants above.

Actively drilling petroleum well in Licking County, Ohio, USA. (October 2016) (site access generously provided by Gary Sitler for geoscience education purposes)
During the late 1800s, Ohio was the # 1 petroleum exporter on Earth. This is definitely not the case anymore! Despite this, Ohio today still has economic concentrations of oil and natural gas.
Ohio has three significant petroleum occurrences:
1) Trenton Limestone (upper Middle Ordovician) of northwestern Ohio.
2) Clinton Sandstone (Lower Silurian) of eastern Ohio.
3) Knox Group (Beekmantown Dolomite-Rose Run Sandstone-Copper Ridge/Trempealeau Dolomite) (Upper Cambrian to ?lowermost Ordovician) in the eastern ~half of Ohio.
Of these three petroleum systems, the Knox Group generally requires the deepest drilling. Most Knox Group drilling in Ohio targets the Rose Run Sandstone, an interbedded quartzose sandstone-dolostone unit of Late Cambrian age.
The well shown above is being actively drilled (as of late October 2016). It was targeting a paleotopographic high at the Knox Unconformity and hoping to encounter petroleum in porous dolostone. During this visit, the rig was drilling at a depth between 3,300 and 3,400 feet below the surface.
Update: as of spring 2017, this well was making 100 to 125 MCF a day (= 100 to 125 thousand cubic feet of natural gas) and 10 barrels of oil per day. The producing horizon is in the Upper Cambrian Copper Ridge Dolomite (also known as the Trempealeau Dolomite). Petroleum is coming from porous dolostones below the Knox Unconformity. The Knox is a megasequence boundary (Sloss sequence boundary) that separates the Sauk Megasequence below from the Tippecanoe Megasequence above.
The following are formation picks for this well (the numbers are from the completion record filed with the Ohio Division of Natural Resources, Division of Oil and Gas Resources):
430 feet depth = top of the Berea Sandstone (lowermost Devonian)
1182 feet depth = top of the "Big Lime" (= Devonian and Silurian carbonate succession, including the Delaware Limestone, Columbus Limestone, and Silurian dolostones)
1940 feet depth = top of the "Packer Shell" (= Middle Silurian Dayton Formation equivalent)
3252 feet depth = Trenton Limestone (upper Middle Ordovician, sensu traditio; lower Upper Ordovician, sensu novo)
3790 feet depth = Gull River Limestone (Middle Ordovician)
3830 feet depth = Knox Unconformity with Trempealeau Dolomite below (Upper Cambrian)
According to State of Ohio records, this well has produced the following:
2017 - 38 barrels of oil, 12,660 MCF of natural gas (= thousands of cubic feet of natural gas), 516 barrels of brine (= salt water)
2018 - 59 barrels of oil, 2828 MCF of natural gas, 175 barrels of brine
2019 - 144 MCF of natural gas
2020 - 21 MCF of natural gas, 130 barrels of brine
2021 - no production
