Farming implements depicted in the 1850s book "Man, His Frame and Wants" (Charles Baker). Steampower was just starting to be introduced onto the farm, so the implements depicted were a mix of old-fashioned horse-drawn and new-fangled steam-powered.
I did a double-take when I passed these in a storefront in Flagstaff, AZ a while ago. At first, I thought they looked... well... sort of... medical. Not in a friendly and helpful way. Like in a painful way. Like, in a "this might be a little cold, dear", way.
OUch.
Turns out
These are the little clamps that hold the espresso filter in place while the hot steam pushes through.... who knew?

Um novo conceito de solução ambiental para o controle de erosões e de contenção de áreas degradadas foi implementado no município na terça-feira (21/5), com a execução do Projeto Trama Verde em uma área de talude, de aproximadamente dois mil metros quadrados, no Morro dos Cabritos, na Ressaca, onde, em 2020, ocorreram deslizamentos de terra e soterramentos de casas.
A área, considerada de risco, recebeu diversas intervenções cujo objetivo é proteger o solo e aumentar a vegetação. No local, técnicos da Defesa Civil e de outras secretarias trabalharam, por cerca de duas semanas, para formatar e concretizar o projeto, que servirá de modelo para outras localidades. Primeiro, foram feitas a roçada e a limpeza de todo o terreno pela equipe da Secretaria de Obras e Manutenção Urbana.
Em seguida, foram instaladas as chamadas “paliçadas” em pontos do talude onde há marcas de erosão. As paliçadas, cuja função é barrar detritos e reduzir os desgastes do solo, foram feitas com madeira provenientes de podas de árvores, isto é, a partir de material biodegradável disponibilizado pela Secretaria de Meio Ambiente e Sustentabilidade.
E, por fim, foi feita a revegetação da área por meio do plantio de mudas de diversas espécies, que vão desde árvores frutíferas a até medicinais. O plantio de 80 mudas ocorreu na terça-feira (21/5) e, no decorrer da semana, serão plantadas mais 120. Sementes também estão sendo depositadas no solo com o objetivo de fortalecê-lo.
As mudas e sementes adquiridas pelo projeto foram doadas pela Secretaria de Meio Ambiente e Sustentabilidade, pelo Centro Municipal de Agricultura Urbana e Familiar - CMAUF e por entidades que prezam pela utilização de técnicas voltadas à bioengenharia, como a empresa Deflor que destinou ao projeto materiais, como biomanta, adubo, sementes e mudas de Capim Vertiver.
“A ideia é apresentar ao município um novo método de estruturação do solo e controle de erosões, que não seja apenas o de impermeabilização do solo (concretagem). Nossa intenção é aumentar a cobertura vegetal e a biodiversidade, e não reduzi-las. Além disso, estamos doando este espaço para moradores do entorno para que eles cuidem e plantem o que desejarem. A ideia é recuperar, retomar a vida e o uso desta área”, explicou a subsecretária de Proteção e Defesa Civil, Ângela Gomes, que participou da elaboração e execução do projeto.
Moradores do entorno também se prontificaram a ajudar na ação. Eles não só plantaram como também aprovaram a iniciativa. Um deles, a dona de casa Patrícia Aparecida da Cunha disse que ficou feliz em saber que o local seria revegetado. “Foi gratificante ver esta ação acontecendo hoje. Espero que meus netos e bisnetos vejam esse espaço florido e cheio de frutos”, celebrou.
Para o aposentado João Ribeiro, que mora na região há 40 anos, a expectativa é por dias melhores. “Vivemos um sofrimento muito grande em 2020, muitas casas aqui ficaram soterradas. Agora, estamos vendo esse mutirão. Estamos satisfeitos, podem contar conosco para ajudar a conservar”, disse o morador.
A subsecretária de Governo de Contagem, Sônia Regina Oliveira, também participou do plantio. De acordo com ela, nem sempre a solução passará pelo concreto e cimento. “Há alternativas sustentáveis e possíveis economicamente. Mas, de fato, o que realmente resolve é a inteligência e a ação humana. De nada adiantará implementarmos tudo isso, se a comunidade não abraçar e ajudar a preservar. É necessário o envolvimento de todos para que possamos fazer deste local um modelo, um exemplo para as oito regiões da cidade”, destacou.
Assim como Sônia, a secretária de Defesa Social, Viviane França, acredita na importância da participação dos moradores para o sucesso de qualquer iniciativa. “Defesa civil e prevenção se faz com as pessoas, envolvendo todo o território. Somente dessa forma conseguiremos avançar e evitar a ocorrência de novos desastres ambientais”, salientou a secretária, agradecendo o empenho de todos na implementação do Projeto Trama Verde.

The dining implements aim to challenge the eating experience- slowing down the process of consumption and promoting mindful practices. The playful nature of the tools prompt you to use your mind and body while inviting conversations with the people around you.
This project was created in collaboration with Steinbeisser- an Experimental Gastronomy initiative based in Amsterdam.

Set of carved wooden implements for the Chinese tea ceremony made with a lotus theme. Bought at the small jade market near the computer mall at Pateh in Taipei. I had originally thought that the whole set cost S$20; each item cost S$20 by itself.
There is a spoon in the shape of a lotus fruit; a pick shaped like a lotus root; as well as a scoop and a funnel that look like lotus leaves. These are for the tourist trade - the Taiwanese wouldn't bother with such artsy stuff for daily use.
I think the lotus root is for cleaning the spout of the teapot; the lotus fruit for loosening tea leaves; the bowl of leaves is really a sieve for directing the tea into the teapot, and the single leaf for pouring the tea from container into the pot.

Southern Regional Fuels Program recognized for implementing prescribed fire over 1.3 million acres this year
Wildfire season has intensified with “mega fires” becoming the norm across western landscapes. The Regional Fuels Program acknowledged it’s not “if,” but “when” the south will have to face similar wildfire seasons. Forests across the Southern Region applied prescribed fire on a regional record-high 1.3 million acres of federal lands. All of this was completed during a pandemic and a new budget modernization process.
The last decade, the U.S. wildfire season has intensified year after year with “mega fires” becoming common place across the western landscape. The Southern Regional Fuels Program acknowledged it’s not “if,” but when the south will have to face similar wildfire seasons as climate change continues making its mark. This Region accomplished implementing prescribed fire to more than 1.3 million acres in FY21, during a pandemic, and following a new budget modernization process.
Forest Service employees carried out the program of work while putting their trust in Regional leadership that the funding and needed resources would be provided. Every Ranger District executed its best effort on all burn days, managing the team's safety while meeting the objectives outlined in the interdisciplinary approved burn plans.
The Forest Service improved water quality, air quality, and carbon sequestration as it reduced the wildfire threat to local communities throughout the south, including Puerto Rico. Our employees embody the skills necessary to perform at a high level to accomplish the mission and communicate the benefits of their work to external audiences. This monumental feat would not have occurred without thousands of Southern USDA Forest Service Employees dedication and strong work ethic.
The success of the Regional Fuels Program was dependent on several individuals for their leadership and ability to communicate to make this year’s historic accomplishment possible.
Mike Ward has been at the helm of fuels management, overseeing suppression, aviation, and coordination functions to acquire the necessary resources and not overextending fire suppression needs. Ward coordinated with Air, Archeology, Biology, Budget, and Timber program managers to ensure a desired outcome by all.
Jason Demas has managed budget concerns and balanced fire suppression needs. Mike Seaton managed the surge modules stationed all around the Southern Region. Seaton communicated daily inside and outside the Geographical Area to keep a workforce available to meet Regional needs. Nancy Ellsworth was a critical contributor to streamlining the ordering process and troubleshooting with the National Interagency Coordination Center to improve the process.
Shardul Raval helped navigate the process to keep the Regional Leadership Team informed, while addressing concerns promptly. He had the bigger picture insight that led to the great success for all of our lands treated with prescribed fire.
