Located by the main entrance to the Sacramento State campus, Parking Structure V is designed to blend and complement the dense trees of the nearby arboretum. Replacing existing Parking Lot 1, the 1,750 stall, six-level parking structure serves a campus in dire need of parking, and provides a structure exceeding the quality and efficiency of any of the previous parking facilities.
The structure’s skin creates a dialog with the surrounding trees. Combined with columnar trees, the facade is dressed with vertical fins painted in tints of green. The thousands of individual square fins are a digital representation of nature, and form patterns like leaves of a tree canopy overhead. Covering the three upper levels of the structure, precast concrete is textured with a pattern that nods to the rough bark of the birch trees in the adjacent arboretum.
Serving a sizable percentage of the campus’ parking need, automobile circulation is designed to move traffic into the structure as efficiently as possible with queuing space off-street to handle periods of high volume. Taking advantage of Clark Pacific’s Total Precast architectural concrete system, the design quality and level of material finish is second to none. Because of the increased erection speed possible with the precast solution, the overall project schedule is more aggressive and intended to be completed over a single school semester.
The technology, design, innovations, placemaking and conservation programs implemented at Parking Structure V allow it to achieve a Parksmart Gold certification by the Green Parking Council, making it the highest-performing, most-sustainable parking structure on campus.
The Visitors Center, to be built after the parking structure is completed, will house UTAPS offices and areas to welcome campus guests and the media.

3D Cross view- To view, sit back from your monitor 2 feet and place your index finger about 10 inches in front of your eyes and focus on your finger. This will cause your eyes to go comfortably cross eyed. Keep that same cross eyed focus and notice there are now 3 photos in the back ground. Do not let your eyes leave the cross eye as you look at the middle picture which has appeared. Now increase or decrease how much your eyes are cross eyed until the image pops into 3D. Your eyes will want to leave the cross eye, but fight that urge. This is an acquired skill and takes practice. Stop if it's uncomfortable.
Shatterconed sandstone in Ontario, Canada.
Shattercones are striated conical structures in rocks formed by a powerful shock wave or pressure front moving through during an impact event. They have a three-dimensional cone-like structure, with the points of the cones directed toward the shock wave origination site. Undisturbed shatterconed rocks will have the apex of the cones pointing toward the direction of the incoming object (i.e., upward - toward space).
The host rocks here consist of ~2.3 to 2.4 billion year old fluvial sandstones of the Mississagi Formation. Notice that the shattercones are pointing downward, indicating that the impact event also overturned the beds.
This outcrop is in the Sudbury Impact Structure, the site for one of the largest impact events in Earth history. The impact structure, located in southeastern Ontario, is ovoid in shape, about 37 miles long by 19 miles wide. It was originally ~circular, but has since been laterally compressed by tectonic deformation. Before erosion and structural deformation, the structure may have been between 60 and 120 miles across. The impacting object is estimated to have been about 6 miles in size. The impact event itself occurred at 1.85 billion years ago. At that time, this part of Ontario was ocean. Computer modeling indicates that the splash wave generated by the Sudbury Impact may have reached about 30 miles high and generated a ~300 feet high megatsunami that radiated away from the target area for up to ~1800 miles. The impact punched a hole down into underlying mantle rocks.
Abundant evidence indicates that the Sudbury, Ontario area was indeed the site of an impact long ago. This includes impact breccias, shattercones, and extensive syn-formational sulfide mineralization. The sulfides are rich enough for mining to occur. In fact, the Sudbury Mining District targets the # 1 most productive nickel deposit on Earth.

. . . is a decent enough Art Deco structure, but the building’s most appealing feature is its polychrome terra-cotta decoration.
This is just a section of the Mesoamerican-inspired design over the main portal on Market Street. The architects, Ritter & Shay, also applied the same theme to each setback and along the edges of the crown.
Thanks to Residence Inns, the building is in excellent shape, looking almost as good as it did upon completion in 1930.

The Market Street National Bank Of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania printed $12,412,400 dollars worth of national currency. Once a bank issues that much money there really isn’t much room for rare issues. However, there are certainly exceptions to every rule. This national bank opened in 1887 and stopped printing money in 1935, which equals a 49 year printing period. That is a fairly normal lifespan for a national bank. During its life, The Market Street National Bank Of Philadelphia issued 18 different types and denominations of national currency.

Thyroxine is a hormone the thyroid gland secretes into the bloodstream. Once in the bloodstream, thyroxine travels to the organs, like the liver and kidneys, where it is converted to its active form of triiodothyronine. Its chemical formula is C15H11I4NO4.

Reynolds Woods
Here Union General Solomon Meredith’s Iron Brigade launched a surprise counterattack on Confederate General James Archer’s Brigade on the first day of the battle. At the very beginning of the fighting Major General John Reynolds, senior Union commander on the field, fell mortally wounded at the edge of the woods. The photo above is taken from the east edge of the woods and shows the monument marking the spot where Reynolds fell.
In spite of the sign the War Department placed over 100 years ago, the woods are known both as Reynolds Woods and Herbst woods, their pre-battle name. They are also sometimes incorrectly called McPherson Woods after the ridge and the nearby farm.

The Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden or Jardim Botânico is located at the Jardim Botânico district in the South Zone of Rio de Janeiro.
The Botanical Garden shows the diversity of Brazilian and foreign flora. There are around 6,500 species (some endangered) distributed throughout an area of 54 hectares (130 acres) as well as numerous greenhouses. The garden also houses monuments of historical, artistic, and archaeological significance. There is an important research center, which includes the most complete library in the country specializing in botany with over 32,000 volumes.
It was founded in 1808 by King John VI of Portugal. Originally intended for the acclimatization of spices like nutmeg, pepper and cinnamon imported from the West Indies, the garden was opened to the public in 1822, and is now open during daylight hours every day except 25 December and 1 January.
The 140 hectares (350 acres) park lies at the foot of the Corcovado Mountain, far below the right arm of the statue of Christ the Redeemer and contains more than 6,000 different species of tropical and subtropical plants and trees, including 900 varieties of palm trees. A 750 metres (2,460 ft) line of 134 palms forms the Avenue of Royal Palms leading from the entrance into the gardens. These palms all descended from a single tree, the Palma Mater, long since destroyed by lightning. Only about 40% of the park is cultivated, the remainder being Atlantic Forest rising up the slopes of Corcovado. The park is protected by the Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional and was designated as a biosphere reserve by UNESCO in 1992.
The Botanical Garden has an important research institute, which develops a wide range of botanical studies in Brazil. The institute has taxonomists who specialize in the identification and conservation of the neotropical flora.
The gardens house collections that include bromeliads, orchids, carnivorous plants, and cacti. These include Brazil’s largest botanical library and collections of dried fruits, rare Brazilian plants, and many photographs. The painted cast-iron Fountain of the Muses was made in Derby, UK, and until 1895 was sited at Henrique Lage's villa at Largo da Lapa, as part of the landscaping by the English painter John Tydall.
The park contains 140 species of birds, many of which have become accustomed to humans and are consequently much easier to observe than in the wild. These include the channel-billed toucan, rusty-margined guan, slaty-breasted wood rail and the endangered endemic white-necked hawk. Capuchin monkeys and tufted-eared marmosets are also frequently seen in the Botanical Gardens.
Features of interest include an old gunpowder factory, the Victoria lilies in the Lago Frei Leandro pond, the Japanese Garden, and many sculptures and fountains.
