Ryan Jenson
Invented precision drones for farms
Ryan Jenson invented a precision agriculture drone during a conversation about spraying wheat crops. Why spray everywhere, he questioned; why not just where it's needed?
"I figured you could do it with robots," Jenson says, and HoneyComb Corp. was born.
Jenson, 28, not only grew up on a 100-acre farm in Eagle Creek, Ore., he also started studying college-level engineering at 14 years old. He earned his bachelor's and later his master’s in mechanical engineering from Portland State.
At HoneyComb Jenson and two friends, who are now his business partners, merged aerospace systems and remote sensing to invent a drone that locates problem areas in agriculture or forested lands.
"There's not a system in place today that's tailored to agriculture like this," Jenson says. "We developed it on our own."
The company is Jenson's second; he partnered with PSU professor Mark Weislogel to form a business that deals with space systems.
"I always wanted to start my own company and do my own thing," Jenson says. "Everyone in my family has their own company—it's in my DNA."
Jenson finds validation in his companies' sure trajectory. His space systems work is entering another phase and the HoneyComb drone is already generating sales. By 2015, Jenson plans on global expansion.
"Once you start building and creating your own vision of things, you realize it's doable," he says. "We're bringing technology to a place where people didn't think it was possible and having an impact."

California Congressman John Garamendi, who toured the Lab and addressed staff on May 7, was effusive in his praise of the science being done here. “I don’t want to talk today, I want to listen to what you have to say,” the Congressman said. “You have so much very important knowledge to share, and I am so happy to be here.” Garamendi, seen here with Physical BioSciences researcher Paul Adams at the Crystallography Beamline of the Advanced Light Source, discussed the renewed support for science in Washington. He serves on the House of Representatives Committee on Science and Technology.

"I've told some ppl that LISTENING is one of the most important aspects of being a spiritual being. When we are truly 100% listening, were not judging, categorizing, or labeling, we are being 100% present to whoever is speaking, and were not in a place of wanting to see if what they are saying fits in with our opinions/beliefs. That I think is the difference between listening to what one is saying and hearing what one is saying. Hearing is just keeping an ear out for things the person is saying that can fit into our view of the world. "-my friend arman
Looks like it should be the HQ of the secret service or perhaps some bureaucratic ministry in 1984.... but it is in fact a University, seat of knowledge and learning.
Taken on a trip to London, a while ago now so I can't remember what film i used (didn't record it) but shot on Yashica 24.
Oh, and I cheated by heavily treating it in Silver Efex Pro - digital and film combined, yay!

East 42nd Street, Midtown Manhattan
Grand Central Station [sic] , one of the great buildings of America, evokes a spirit that is unique in this City. It combines distinguished architecture with a brilliant engineering solution, wedded to one of the most fabulous railroad terminals of our time. Monumental in scale, this great building functions as well today as it did when built. In style it represents the best of the French Beaux Arts.
The contrast of solids and voids is a striking feature of this building. The large percentage of glass areas, to be seen in the great windows, is reminiscent of the quality of some of the best French exposition buildings, models of daring structural design in their day, which availed themselves of the latest technological knowledge of their time. The use of these windows for several levels of horizontal Circulation, was in itself a daring concept. Visitors can see from the main concourse the diminutive human beings walking between the two layers of glass as they cross and recross from office to office.
The very scale of the monumental columns and the handsome sculptured details, such as the enframement of the oval windows and Clock, represent a handsome and skillful combination of architectural elements to create a building overpowering in its timeless grandeur.
History of the Building
Superimposed upon the railroad empire built by the Vanderbilts, which in turn had been built upon the maritime empire of the old Commodore, was the vast network of rails soon to culminate in a new terminus destined to serve the greatest city in the country. On the shoulders of William J. Wilgus rested the staggering problem of assembling the fabulous network of electrified rails into this modern nerve center. This brilliant solution was approved to serve as the basic set of conditions for a nationwide competition among architects for the design of the terminal. The competition was won by Reed & stem of St. Paul, Minnesota. It was their brilliant design which introduced the concept of ramps. Later Whitney Warren, of Warren & Wetmore, with the concurrence of the Vanderbilts, took over the architectural design of the terminal as we see it today, displaying the virtuosity of his training at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris.
Grand Central always has been a symbol of the City itself. Commuters, Sightseers, casual visitors and City dwellers on pleasant walks go through it daily.
Approximately 400,000 people a day stream through its doors, ramps and escalators.
So extensive is the series of connections to nearby office buildings that many commuters can go to work without leaving the station. In 1946 Grand Central Terminal served over '5 million passengers. It boasted of 96 long-distance trains departing and 90 arriving every day. By the end of 1964, there were only 51 departures and 48 arrivals daily. Despite these dwindling numbers, the Terminal served almost 43.4 million passengers in 1964 - a respectable figure for any railroad station. There are 3 3.7 miles of track in Grand Central and its adjoining train-yard, a total of 123 tracks - 66 on the Upper Level and 57 on the Lower. On these tracks, trains carry about 140,000 paying passengers to and from Grand Central Terminal every week day, and approximately 120,000 are daily commuters.
Grand Central Depot which preceded the present station was opened in 1871 for the New York and Harlem Railroad and for the New Haven Railroad which once went downtown through a tunnel as far as 26th Street. After a train wreck in the smokefilled Park Avenue tunnel in 1902, the State Legislature passed a law prohibiting steam locomotives from using the Park Avenu e tracks south of the Harlem River.
The law gave the two railroads until 1908 to comply with the new regulation. It was then that the railroad lines had to be electrified, and the work to enlarge the station began in 1903. In 1913 the present terminal was completed in conjunction with the fabulous system of "air rights" over the tracks on which so many hotels, apartment houses and office buildings were subsequently built.

The three-day CAMP forum on sustainable mountain development in Central Asia took place on October 4-6, 2012, in Dushanbe, Tajikistan. Titled ‘Sustainable Land Management –up-scaling benefits for rural communities’, the forum facilitated knowledge exchange and experience sharing among different stakeholders working at various levels, from local to national, and to the global.
Participants from Central Asia, France, Germany, England, Mongolia, Afghanistan, Russia and the Caucasus discussed an integrated approach on sustainable land management, focusing on land-reforms, improvement in decision-support tools and need in synergies for current regulatory framework on land use and management to be aligned with the internationally accepted good practices.
The Forum was organized by CAMP Kuhiston, Mountain Partnership member from Tajikistan. The multi-stakeholder organizing committee for the event included the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Tajikistan, the Committee on Women and Family Affairs under the Government of Tajikistan, University of Central Asia (UCA), Centre for Development and the Environment, University of Bern / Research Center of North-South cooperation, German Agro Action, Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, FAO, CARITAS, UNDP, the Mountain Partnership and Oxfam in Tajikistan.
During the Forum Mountain Partnership Central Asia Hub (MPCA) facilitated a two-hour strategic planning session with 20 of its member institutions from the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Dagestan and Altai Republic of Russia, and MSRC. Since 2008, the number of MP members from Central Asia has doubled. As MPCA continues its process of institutional development and decentralization, two activities were conducted: 1) A joint review of tools and instruments to assess member contributions, with the goal of enriching regional and local platforms serving mountain communities and facilitating joint initiatives; and 2) An inventory of member needs and demands, which was last done in 2008, was updated, to better enable the Hub and its members to mutually address them.
