Old United States Mint

Die Old United States Mint (deutsch Alte Münze der Vereinigten Staaten) ist ein denkmalgeschütztes Gebäude in San Francisco, Kalifornien. Es diente in der Vergangenheit als Niederlassung der US-amerikanischen Münzprägeanstalt United States Mint. Lage Das Gebäude befindet sich an der Adresse 88 Fifth St. im Stadtteil South of Market in San Francisco. Architektur und Geschichte Das repräsentative Gebäude entstand ab 1869. Der Grundstein wurde am 26. Mai 1870 gelegt und enthält ein kupfernes Behältnis mit Münzen, Zeitungen, Fotos und Erinnerungsstücken. Die Fertigstellung erfolgte 1874. Entworfen wurde das Gebäude von Alfred B. Mullett. Beim Bau wurde auf Erdbebensicherheit Wert gelegt. Das Betonfundament wurde auf einem Sandbett angelegt. Der für den Bau benötigte Sandstein stammt von der kanadischen Insel Newcastle Island, der Granit aus Nordkalifornien. Die dominante Verwendung von Granit gab dem Gebäude den Spitznamen the Granite Lady. An der Südwestlichen Seite entstanden zwei große gemauerte Schornsteine, die für die Schmelze erforderlich waren. Im Übrigen wird das Gebäude von monumentalen dorischen Säulen geprägt. Der Gebäudekomplex gruppiert sich um einen Innenhof, auf dem sich ein Brunnen befand. Zuvor war die Münze in San Francisco ab 1854 an der Adresse 608 Commercial Street untergebracht. Zunächst war die Münze in San Francisco nur eine Filiale der Münze in Philadelphia. Mit dem Coinage Act von 1873 wurde sie eine eigenständige Niederlassung und erlangte eine führende Stellung. Die Münze blieb beim Erdbeben von San Francisco 1906 erhalten und wurde durch den Einsatz der Angestellten der Münze und von Soldaten auch vor den Auswirkungen des nachfolgenden Stadtbrands geschützt. Bei der Hitze schmolzen Fenster und zerbarsten Steinblöcke. Für das Löschwasser wurde auf den Brunnen im Hof zurückgegriffen. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt befanden sich in den Tresoren 200 Millionen US-Dollar. 1934 lagerte ein Drittel der Goldreserve des Landes in der Münze. In der Münze wurden Gold- und Silbermünzen geprägt. Als erste Münzstätte neben Philadelphia, fand in San Francisco die Prägung von Kleingeld aus unedlen Metallen statt. Ab 1908 wurden Cent-Stücke aus Bronze geprägt. Als Münzzeichen wurde S verwendet. Die Funktion als Münze blieb bis 1937 erhalten. In diesem Jahr wurde ein Neubau an der Adresse 155 Hermann Street errichtet. Die alte Münze wurde veräußert, die dann als Bürogebäude diente. 1961 wurde es als National Historic Landmark eingetragen. Im Jahr 1972 erwarb die staatliche Münze das Haus zurück und richtete ein Museum ein. 1994 wurde das Museum geschlossen und das Haus im Jahr 1997 erneut verkauft. Das Gebäude diente dann als Veranstaltungszentrum. Andere Angaben geben an, dass das Haus im Jahr 2003 von der Bundesregierung für einen 1879 in der Münze geprägten Silberdollar an die Stadt San Francisco verkauft wurde. Es wurde dann wiederum ein Museum und Ort für Veranstaltungen eingerichtet.

San Francisco University High School

San Francisco University High School (UHS) is a private college preparatory high school located in San Francisco, California. The school was opened in 1975. Facilities and campus The school is made up of five buildings, commonly referred to as Upper, Middle, Lower, South, and California campuses. Upper Campus is the oldest and most historic part of campus. It was designed by Julia Morgan and built in 1917 to house Katherine Delmar Burke School, a girls' school, from the early part of the 20th century until 1975, when the building was sold to the newly created University High School. It houses the History and English Departments, College Counseling offices, and administrative offices. Middle Campus, connected to Upper Campus by a bridge, houses the school library; a 400-seat theater; the student center and cafeteria; state-of-the-art science labs; music rooms, including an electronic music recording room; and the Summerbridge program, UHS's pioneer program to help talented students from local public middle schools obtain the resources they might not have access to in their current schools. Lower Campus is home to the Math and Science Departments. It also holds the fitness center, changing rooms, gym, and athletic offices. Indoor sports are played at the gym, while field sports are mainly played at the nearby Paul Goode Field athletic complex. South Campus, which opened in the 2006–2007 school year, is the home of the Foreign Language Department and the Art Department. Additionally, South Campus contains a language lab, a large photography studio and darkroom, and art studios. California Campus is the most recent development, and it contains a new gym, a cafeteria, and new science labs and math rooms. Incidents There was an investigation in 2021 into improper conduct between adults and students at the high school, involving, in particular, a former girls’ soccer coach.

Talsperre San Gabriel

Die Talsperre San Gabriel (englisch San Gabriel Dam) liegt in den San Gabriel Mountains im Los Angeles County, USA. Sie ist die zweite der 3 Stauanlagen, die den Oberlauf des San Gabriel River aufstauen. Ungefähr 21 km flussaufwärts liegt die Talsperre Cogswell und ca. 4 km flussabwärts befindet sich die Talsperre Morris. Die Stadt San Dimas liegt ungefähr 7 km südlich. Die Talsperre wurde von 1932 bis 1939 durch den Los Angeles County Flood Control District errichtet. Sie dient dem Hochwasserschutz und der Trinkwasserversorgung. Die Talsperre wird vom Los Angeles County Department of Public Works betrieben. Absperrbauwerk Das Absperrbauwerk ist ein Staudamm (Erd- und Steinschüttdamm) mit einer Höhe von 94,5 m (310 feet) über dem ursprünglichen Flussbett. Die Länge der Dammkrone beträgt 457 m (1.500 feet). Die Hochwasserentlastung befindet sich auf der rechten Flussseite. Stausee Bei Vollstau fasst der Stausee 65,83 Mio. m³ (86,1 Mio. cubic yards) Wasser. Die Sedimentablagerungen im Stauseebecken wurden bereits mehrmals durch Ausbaggern entfernt. Kraftwerk Das Kraftwerk befindet sich auf der linken Dammseite. Es verfügt über eine installierte Leistung von 5 MW. Vom Auslauf des Kraftwerks führt ein ca. 13 km (8 miles) langer Tunnel (Azusa Conduit) zur Stadt Azusa. Sonstiges Die Errichtungskosten des Staudamms lagen bei 17 Mio. USD. Vom 27. Februar bis zum 3. März 1938 kam es in Los Angeles zu schweren Überschwemmungen. Der Los Angeles River erreichte einen maximalen Abfluss von 11.000 m³/s. Obwohl die Talsperre San Gabriel 1938 noch nicht fertiggestellt war, half sie zusammen mit den beiden anderen Talsperren am Oberlauf, die Hochwasserspitze des San Gabriel River deutlich zu reduzieren.

San Gregorio State Beach

San Gregorio State Beach is a beach near San Gregorio, California, United States, south of Half Moon Bay. Part of the California State Park System, the beach lies just west of the intersection of California State Route 1 and State Route 84. Geography San Gregorio Creek widens to form a small freshwater lagoon in the park behind a sand berm, or barrier beach, which typically blocks the mouth of the creek, forcing the creekwaters to flow underfoot as they seep into the Pacific Ocean. During the rainy season the creek often cuts through the sand berm and flows directly into the ocean. Historically the creek was a coho salmon spawning site, and the Department of Fish and Game is considering restocking it with coho to improve the salmon fisheries south of San Francisco. It is one of the cleanest beaches in the state. Amenities Park facilities include restrooms and picnic tables. Dogs are not permitted on the beach, as it has been identified as an itinerant nesting habitat for the locally underpopulated western snowy plover. It is considered a self-registered fee area, although there is a kiosk which is staffed during summer months. North of the main beach is a nude beach on private property. Historical significance A stone marker with a plaque (now missing) commemorates the three days Spanish explorer Gaspar de Portolà's expedition camped at the beach to rest and treat their sick in 1769, during their (failed) attempt to locate Monterey Bay. They would go on to discover San Francisco Bay instead. The site is registered as California Historical Landmark 26.

San Joaquin Experimental Range

The San Joaquin Experimental Range is an ecosystem research experimental area in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. The range is located in O'Neals, California, outside of the Sierra National Forest about 32 kilometres (20 mi) north of Fresno, California. The range includes a portion of California grassland and California woodlands with blue oak, interior live oak, and bull pine. The San Joaquin Experimental Range was established after a statement on the need for an experimental area in the San Joaquin Valley foothills was prepared in 1934. The initial purpose for the San Joaquin Experimental Range was to learn how to better manage these lands and investigate resource and animal husbandry problems associated with maintaining a commercial cattle herd on a year-round basis on the foothill rangelands. San Joaquin lands were purchased in 1934 (1,387 hectares or 3,427 acres), with additional purchases in 1936 (16 hectares or 40 acres) and 1937 (372 hectares or 919 acres). In 1938, another 64 ha were obtained under authority of the Weeks Forestry Act. Of these, 32 ha have been designated as a Research Natural Area. The San Joaquin is managed cooperatively by the Pacific Southwest Research Station of the United States Forest Service and California State University's Agricultural Foundation, primarily for research and education. Facilities include limited conference facilities, office space, barracks, and storage space available for approved research. Today, long-term records on livestock gains and herbage yield and utilization are available. Parts of the range have served as a Research Natural Area, protected from fire and ungrazed by domestic livestock since 1934. Remaining portions of the range have been grazed by various classes of livestock during different seasons. Some range units have been modified through the application of fertilizers. Prescribed burning has been used in some units for forage improvement. A cowherd and facilities at the experimental range also provide opportunities for students to gain practical experience in the commercial cattle industry. The range was established as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve under the designation San Joaquin Biosphere Reserve in 1976. Its biosphere reserve status was withdrawn in 2019, at the request of the US Government. Administration The range's administration is located at San Joaquin Experimental Range USDA Forest Service Sierra Nevada Research Center 2081 East Sierra Avenue Fresno, CA 93710 A research center and lab is located at San Joaquin Experimental Range California State University-Fresno School of Agricultural Sciences and Technology 2385 East Barstow Avenue Fresno, CA 93740 References This article incorporates public domain material from websites or documents of the United States Forest Service.

Mercado al aire libre de San José

El Mercado al aire libre de San José​ (en inglés: San Jose Flea Market) que está ubicado en el corazón de Silicon Valley, en California, Estados Unidos, fue fundado por George Bumb Sr. en marzo de 1960. Su idea de abrir un mercado de pulgas o mercadillo se desarrolló mientras trabajaba en el negocio de los residuos y vertederos sólidos. Bumb fue testigo del desecho de gran variedad de artículos y decidió que podría obtener un beneficio de estos artículos. Después de visitar mercados en Los Ángeles y París en busca de inspiración, George Bumb Sr. estableció el Mercado de Pulgas de San José en el 1590 Berryessa Road en San José, California. Él compró 120 acres (49 ha) de una antigua planta de procesamiento de carne y la remodeló para crear un mercado con unos 20 vendedores iniciales y solo 100 clientes por día. Ahora, el San Jose Flea Market es el mercado al aire libre más grande de los EE. UU. y se ha convertido en un hito de California, con más de cuatro millones de visitantes cada año.

Блошиный рынок (Сан-Хосе)

Блошиный рынок в Сан-Хосе (англ. San Jose Flea Market, также известен в испаноязычной среде как La Pulga) — крупнейший в США рынок под открытым небом, созданный в 1960 году. Расположен в Сан-Хосе (Калифорния). По данным «Книги рекордов Гиннесса» 2000 года, его площадь составляет 48 га. История Блошиный рынок был открыт в 1960 году на бывшей территории для выгона скота. Идея его создания принадлежит работнику по переработке твёрдых отходов Джорджу Бамбу, который заметил, что большое количество полезных вещей беспричинно выбрасывается на свалки. Первоначально небольшой рынок с 20 продавцами быстро рос и через некоторое время стал неотъемлемой частью городского сообщества. Он начал привлекать людей, которые могли купить здесь дешёвые продукты питания, украшения и мебель. Согласно «Книге рекордов Гиннесса» за 2000 год, рынок площадью 48 га насчитывал свыше 6000 торговых мест, 150 сотрудников административного штата и принимал еженедельно 80 000 посетителей. В 2021 году городской совет Сан-Хосе одобрил давний проект о преобразовании 61,5 акра рынка в деловой район, что предполагает строительство в этом месте многоквартирных домов, офисных комплексов и магазинов розничной торговли. В итоге владелец блошиного рынка и его застройщик получили право увеличить общее число будущего жилья с 2468 до 3450 фут² и коммерческих площадей — с 315 022 до 3,4 млн фут². Кроме изменения зонирования совет закрепил договор с владельцами недвижимости, согласно которому рынок будет работать ещё как минимум три года, а продавцы продолжат вести торговлю на своих местах без риска выселения до начала застройки. Товары и развлечения Ассортимент товаров составляют индийские ткани, мексиканская продукция (конфеты, пиньяты) и т. д. Здесь же торгуют различными национальными блюдами. Играет международная музыка.
