Boston University School of Dental Medicine

The Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine (BU Dental) is the dental school of Boston University. Its curriculum is based on the Applied Professional Experience (APEX) Program, which gives students practical experience at a dental practice as part of clinical training. The School has about 800 students in predoctoral and postdoctoral programs. The School can trace its origins to 1958 when the Boston University School of Medicine started a Department of Stomatology to provide postdoctoral education in dentistry. At that time, the institution was the only one in the country devoted solely to specialty education in dentistry. In 1963, it became Boston University School of Graduate Dentistry under the leadership of Dean Henry M. Goldman. In 1970, the School moved to 100 East Newton Street. In 1972, the School included a predoctoral program leading to a DMD degree. In September 2021, the School completed a three-year expansion/renovation project at an approximate $115 million cost. In 1996, the School was renamed the "Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine" In November 2021, Dr. Cataldo Leone was named Dean. Departments Dental School General Dentistry Digital Dentistry training Dental students get experience with dental training robots that allow them to simulate techniques and procedures they will eventually perform on patients when they graduate and practice dentistry.

Goose Pond Reservation

Goose Pond Reservation ist ein 112 Acres (45,3 ha) großes Naturschutzgebiet bei der Stadt Lee im Bundesstaat Massachusetts der Vereinigten Staaten, das von der Organisation The Trustees of Reservations verwaltet wird. Schutzgebiet Das Areal wird geprägt von einer 0,25 mi (0,4 km) langen Felsküste, die entlang des gleichnamigen Stausees fast 300 ft (91,4 m) aufragt und damit eine maximale absolute Höhe von 1.753 ft (534,3 m) über dem Meeresspiegel erreicht. Der Bergsee und die umliegenden Wälder grenzen unmittelbar an vom National Park Service verwaltete Gebiete und werden vom Appalachian Trail durchquert. Da es keine angelegten oder ausgewiesenen Wanderwege gibt, ist das Fortkommen im Schutzgebiet teilweise beschwerlich. Das Gelände des heutigen Schutzgebiets wurde den Trustees im Jahr 1986 geschenkt.

Grand Junction Railroad Bridge

The Grand Junction Railroad Bridge is a steel plate girder bridge that carries the Grand Junction Railroad over the Charles River in Boston. It connects the Boston University campus to Cambridgeport. In September 2009, Massachusetts finalized an agreement to purchase several CSX rail lines in eastern Massachusetts, including the Grand Junction tracks from the Beacon Park Yard in Allston through Cambridge. The deal was closed on June 17, 2010. Repairs On November 21, 2012, the Grand Junction Railroad Bridge was closed to all rail traffic due to its poor condition. This was a change from a restriction put in place days earlier, on November 16, which barred freight trains from crossing, as well as restricting MBTA and Amtrak equipment moves to 5 miles per hour (8 km/h). While emergency repairs were under way, trains moving between the north and south sides of Boston had to be routed via Pan Am Railways trackage between Ayer, Massachusetts and Worcester, Massachusetts (a detour over 100 miles [160 km] in length). The bridge reopened in early January 2013, but was closed again in March for major structural repairs, reopening again in June.

Granite Keystone Bridge

Die Granite Keystone Bridge, auch verkürzt als Granite Bridge bezeichnet, ist eine historische Bogenbrücke in Rockport im US-Bundesstaat Massachusetts. Die im Jahr 1872 erbaute Brücke wurde im August 1981 in das National Register of Historic Places aufgenommen. Beschreibung Die Granite Keystone Bridge besteht aus einem einzelnen Steinbogen. Dieser misst etwa 19,80 Meter in der Länge und 9,80 Meter in der Breite. Die Brücke wurde aus Granitsteinen der im 19. Jahrhundert in Rockport betriebenen Steinbrüche errichtet. Über die Brücke verläuft die Massachusetts Route 127, die in Rockport den Namen Granite Street trägt. Geschichte Im 19. Jahrhundert war Rockport für seine Granitsteinbrüche bekannt. Zu den größten Anlagen zählte der Flat-Ledge-Steinbruch. Von diesem wurden die Granitsteine mit Ochsenkarren in den Hafen transportiert und von dort verschifft. Aufgrund des Wachstums der Steinbrüche wurden in der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts durch die Rockport Granite Company die Hafenanlagen erweitert. In den 1860er Jahren wurden Forderungen nach einem schnelleren Transport der Steine in die Hafenanlagen laut. Die Rockport Granite Company beschloss, unter der Granite Street einen Geländeeinschnitt anzulegen, durch den die Steine per Eisenbahnwagons transportiert werden sollten. Im Jahr 1868 begann die Aushebung des künstlichen Tals. Die alte Straße wurde im Frühjahr 1872 entfernt, und am 1. August des Jahres begann der Brückenbau unter der Leitung von Jonathan Pratt. Innerhalb von elf Wochen wurde der Bau der Granite Keystone Bridge vollendet. Die Brücke galt bei ihrer Fertigstellung als eine der größten ihrer Art in Massachusetts. Vor allem die „anmutige, gefällige Konstruktion“ des Bauwerks wurde hervorgehoben. Der Cape Ann Advertiser schrieb nach der Eröffnung der Brücke: Die Rockport Granite Company benutzte die Eisenbahngleise unter der Brücke bis zu ihrer Auflösung in den 1930er Jahren. Danach wurden die Gleisanlagen demontiert, heute führt ein Feldweg unter der Granite Keystone Bridge hindurch.

Granite Keystone Bridge

The Granite Keystone Bridge is a historic bridge that carries Granite Street (Massachusetts Route 127) over the former railroad that transported granite from Pigeon Hill to Granite Pier in Rockport, Massachusetts. The bridge arch was built in 1872 in eleven weeks. Its single arch spans 65 feet (20 m) and is 32 feet (9.8 m) wide. The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1981. History Granite was extracted from Rockport quarries as early as 1830, and was a major industry in the seaside community for most of the 19th century. The Flat Ledge Quarry was one of the largest operations, moving its stones across Granite Street to first Knowlton Pier, and then later the Granite Pier, where ships transported the stone up and down the Atlantic coast. By the 1860s the Rockport Granite Company sought means to more rapidly move the stone from the quarry to the waterfront. To this end, a deep cut was made under Granite Street. The bridge over this cut was designed by John Pratt of Quincy and built in the spring and summer of 1872. Its 65-foot span was described at the time as one of the longest in the state. The bridge is built out of large blocks of dressed stone laid in courses. It is one of a small number of structures in Rockport that are built out of native stone. It is now owned and maintained by the state.

Granite Trust Company

The Granite Trust Company is a historic commercial building at 1400 Hancock Street in Quincy, Massachusetts. The Art Deco building was designed by J. Williams Beal, Sons, constructed in 1929, and is ten stories tall. It was built for the Granite Trust Company (later the South Shore Bank), whose predecessor, the Quincy Stone Bank, was the community's first commercial bank. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. Description and history The Granite Trust Company building stands prominently in Quincy's downtown, at the southeast corner of Hancock and Chestnut Streets. The ten-story structure is faced in limestone and granite, and consists of a large base three stories in height, from which the central tower rises, the topmost levels stepped back in size from the intermediate ones. The ground-level storefronts are finished in granite, while the upper levels are finished in limestone. While it has some decorative elements, including panels of decorative stonework, most of its style comes from its vertically-oriented massing, including pilasters between some of the bays on the lower section, and the flattened pyramidal caps at their tops. The Quincy Stone Bank was founded in 1836, and was the city's first commercial bank. It was notable at the time as the first commercial bank in the nation to raise capital via a public stock offering. In 1865 it received a national charter, and was reincorporated in 1912 as the Granite Trust Company. The bank commissioned the construction of this building, completed in 1929, as its headquarters. The building was designed by J. Williams Beal, Sons, Boston architects credited with a number of Quincy's high-profile buildings.

Grape Island (Massachusetts)

Grape Island (auch Grass Island) ist eine Insel im Boston Harbor. Sie liegt in der Hingham Bay 10 mi (16,1 km) vom Bostoner Stadtzentrum entfernt auf dem Gebiet des Bundesstaats Massachusetts der Vereinigten Staaten. Grape Island verfügt über eine dauerhafte Fläche von ca. 54 Acres (21,9 ha), die durch ein Watt je nach Tidenhub temporär um bis zu 46,5 Acres (18,8 ha) vergrößert wird. Die Insel gehört zu Weymouth und ist Teil der Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area. Geographie Geologie Grape Island besteht aus zwei Drumlins, die an ihrem höchsten Punkt 70 ft (21,3 m) über der Wasserlinie aufragen und über flaches Marschland miteinander verbunden sind. Im Westen erstreckt sich das Watt in Richtung des Webb Memorial State Park, im Osten in Richtung Slate Island. Flora und Fauna Vom ursprünglichen Baumbestand auf Grape Island hat nur eine einzige Weide die landwirtschaftliche Nutzung im frühen 20. Jahrhundert überlebt. Bei den auf natürliche Weise nachgewachsenen Bäumen dominieren Essigbäume, Grau-Birken und Amerikanische Zitterpappeln. Darüber hinaus wachsen dort eine Vielzahl von Beerenarten. Im Bereich des Marschlands gedeihen salztolerante Pflanzen wie Kartoffel-Rosen, Schlickgräser, Gewöhnlicher Blutweiderich, Heckenkirschen und Goldruten. Die Tierwelt der Insel ist noch Gegenstand wissenschaftlicher Untersuchungen. Geschichte Die Kultivierung der Insel geht wahrscheinlich bis in die Zeit vor der Kolonisierung durch die Europäer zurück. Gesichert ist die landwirtschaftliche Nutzung über rund 300 Jahre, die bis in die 1940er Jahre andauerte. Mit dem Ende der Bewirtschaftung kehrte die Natur schrittweise zurück, so dass Grape Island heute wieder Baum- und Buschbestände aufweist. Die Insel wurde nie militärisch genutzt, jedoch fand dort 1775 ein Scharmützel statt, das als „Battle of Grape Island“ bekannt wurde. Einzelnachweise Weblinks Grape Island.
