Palisade Area of Critical Environmental Concern, BLM Colorado
When managed for the protection of scenic values, fish or wildlife resources, or natural processes, Areas of Critical Environmental Concern can often overlap with Wilderness Areas or Wilderness Study Areas, which manage for similar values. The Palisade ACEC, overlapping with the Palisade Wilderness Study Area, is one example.
It is a spectacularly diverse area spanning vertical cliffs, mesas, deep rugged canyons and flat desert valley bottoms. Its most prominent feature is The Palisade itself, a three-mile rocky butte that cuts the unit from north to south like a spine. The area is protected for peregrine falcon and golden eagle breeding areas as well as Gunnison Sage-Grouse habitat. It is also managed for the preservation of sensitive plant species.

Core Values Totem Poles
Artist: Terry Beaston
The Core Values Totem Poles celebrate the beautiful landscapes or Port Noarlunga and create a unique sense of place. They reference the local environment by incorporating layers of coloured glass and ceramic sedimentary strata reminiscent of the surrounding cliffs that dramatically change throughout the day and glow with the setting sun.
The sculptures consist of pre-cast cement and include cast and fused glass pieces, clay, polished stones, terrazzo and carved effects, cement oxide colours and stains.

Some of the most productive forests in the world are managed by the BLM in western Oregon. The objectives of the O&C forestry program are to manage for a sustained yield of forest products and qualities needed to contribute to the economic stability of local communities, and continuing forest values and health. This vintage photo depicts forest management that took place in the BLM’s Eugene District in the 1980s.
The Eugene District of the Bureau of Land Management, now part of the Northwest Oregon District, extended from the Pacific Coast into the western slopes of the Cascade Range, and encompassed 316,000 acres. The Eugene District managed several ecosystems ranging from coastal inlands to dense Douglas-fir, hemlock, and cedar forests.
The Eugene District and the Salem Districts were officially consolidated into the Northwest Oregon District in 2016 and now collectively make up approximately 720,000 acres. The Northwest Oregon District stretches from the Cascades to the Pacific Ocean, where the historic Yaquina Lighthouse greets thousands each year.

My scrap attack values/bullseye quilt. I threw untrimmed blocks on the design wall as I had sewn them just to see how it will look.
Fabrics from grab bags, gifts, swaps and projects past.
I was tasked with designing icons to graphically convey our core values. They will be used as graphics during appropriate sermons, in training publications (ie - small group leaders' training manuals), etc. Top to bottom, left to right they are...
My biggest concern is that the contrast isn't significant enough (especially if they're sized down for printing purposes). Thoughts? This is still in the prelim stage, so any feedback is welcome.
7 November 2021, Kigoma, Tanzania - Fishermen unload fresh sprat from a boat in a landing site at the shore of the Lake Tanganyika in Kigoma, Tanzania.
Lake Tanganyika is the world’s second largest lake by volume with borders in Tanzania, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Burundi and Zambia. Millions of people rely on the rich aquatic biodiversity reserves for food and income.
Yet, post-harvest losses caused by poor handling and processing techniques, as well as the impacts of climate change and poor fishing methods are threatening the future of fishing on the lake. Illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing is a further cause of declining yields.
In Tanzania, FISH4ACP aims to strengthen and safeguard the sardine, sprat and perch value chains in Lake Tanganyika by investing in inclusive growth to bolster food security for future generations, reduce poverty and contribute to the conservation of natural resources.
FISH4CP is an initiative of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States (OACPS) implemented by FAO with funding from the European Union (EU) and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Cooperation and Development (BMZ).

Millerite-chalcopyrite-calcite from the Precambrian of Ontario, Canada (6.3 cm across at its widest).
The Sudbury Complex (Sudbury Basin) in southeastern Canada has intrigued geologists for decades, and not just due to the tremendous economic value of the area’s mineral deposits.
Sudbury is one of the largest preserved impact structures on Earth. The impact occurred ~1.85 billion years ago, during the late Paleoproterozoic. The Sudbury Impact Structure is no longer circular or subcircular in shape, however - it's been compessed into a stretched-egg shape from an ancient continental collision event.
This vein rock is composed of chalcopyrite (CuFeS2 - copper iron sulfide; = deep yellow brassy material at right and scattered elsewhere), millerite (NiS - nickel sulfide; = grayish-looking material at center and bottom & white-lustrous material at left of center), and calcite (CaCO3 - calcium carbonate; = whitish-gray material at far left & far top). Millerite usually forms long, hair-like crystals in geodes. The Sudbury Mining District has some nickel ores with massive, even rock-forming millerite. This photo doesn't faithfully show the color of the millerite - it's actually a bright brassy color (photographing metallic-lustered minerals is notoriously difficult).
Geologic context & mineralization age: massive sulfide vein in greenish alteration zone rock (= hidden on back side of this specimen), Sudbury Impact Structure, mineralization likely syn-impact or early post-impact, late Paleoproterozoic, 1.85 Ga
Locality: McCreedy West Mine (a.k.a. Levack West Mine), ~1 km southwest of the town of Levack, northwest of the city of Sudbury, northwestern Sudbury Mining District, southeastern Ontario, southeastern Canada (46° 38' 10" North, 81° 23' 60" West)

The search for new ideals characterizes our generation. But which values and virtues are still relevant today - religious, moral, spiritual or personal?
The 2013 Trend Diary presents design projects exploring the theme of values.
Why a Trend Diary dealing with values? We feel that in the course of the change instigated by the digital revolution, our view of a clearly defined, shared value system is increasingly fading. While design for "material values" is loud and ever-present, ethical values that paint a picture of belief, family, virtues and moral ideals are drowning in the modern media excess.
What´s in the trend diary? The Trend Diary, in the format of a desk calendar, assembles inspiring works of design by 53 designers of different cultures. Design that conveys values in message and function, provides guidance or aids us in our quest for meaning. Design that shows us that values are the most valuable thing we possess.
In keeping with the trend set by previous award-winning issues from the EIGA Trend Diary series, the publication showcases a special focus on experimental typography and groundbreaking graphic design. The designers at EIGA have developed a unique typeface whose characters are composed of continually rearranging elements – just like society’s understanding of shared values. Furthermore each calendar week features an individual composition corresponding to the designer’s contributions while still following a consistent overall design principle.
The cultural background. Design has been a guide and bearer of standards and values in all cultures from time immemorial. This is evidenced by the codex the Mesopotamians hewed in stone in the 18th century BC, by the awe-inspiring illumination of European Bible manuscripts in the Middle Ages or by the Bauhaus school's function-driven approach to design. Utilizing any given era's media toolbox, design brings the ideals and moral values of society to the surface.
Fact and figures. The Trend Diary was initiated by EIGA, a Hamburg-based design office, and published by NBVD. The production enjoys support from well-known partners in fine paper, printing and print finishing. 53 designers are given a special platform in the form of a weekly motive in the exclusive design calendar.

The Kodachrome Pictures:
These recently uploaded Kodachrome pictures have no artistic value. They were just uploaded to be representative of consumer Kodachrome picture recording during about 70 of the 75 years that Kodachrome was commercially available to the public. Unlike in today’s digital world it took time, money and effort to make a Kodachrome slide. We took fewer pictures, trying to stretch resources, but some are still frivolous.
I'm 97 (2016). I'm about at the end of my ability to continue posting. The ratio of today’s digital pictures that are kept for any length of time and/or printed is much less than the film photos taken in days past. History will be lost. Meanwhile you get to be bored by some old Kodachromes, Anscochromes, a Dufaycolor and perhaps an old black&white or so.
The Camera...
This was made with an Olympus IS-30. I had liked the Is-3 and thought I’d try out the less expensive model for a trip. The camera exposure system was good enough to use Kodachrome 25 with everything on “full-auto. The IS-30 was a small SLR with a non-removable zoom lens. Olympus tried to market it as a ZLR (Zoom Lens Reflex) so as not to intrude into its upper IS or OM market. The IS-30 was compact, reasonably priced and had much better glass than the flatter compacts of its day.
The Film...
Kodachrome was my favorite film. My first roll in the late 30s was such a marvel to a young man. I had tried Dufaycolor which did pretty good, but if it had to be projected you had to ignore the lines of color which made up the image. Kodachrome was so much more colorful to boot. It was extremely sharp and almost grainless compared to other color and B&W processes.
Kodachrome was unique in American film history. Except for a licensee who used Kodachrome’s older process for a few years, nobody made anything like it. Most color films had all the color in the film. Kodachrome picked up color from the processing baths. Also unlike modern slide films which use chemical energy to reverse the negative image, Kodachrome used filtered lights to re-expose within the processing machine. Kodachrome evolved over the years, and was usually the clearest, sharpest grain free color film one could buy. That is until Kodak made a decision to reduce the budget to improve the product in favor of other products and offerings. Fuji Velvia soon eclipsed it in resolution and could be processed locally in regular E-6 mini-machines.
