Rio Grande (company)

Rio Grande is a jewelry-making equipment, tools and supplies company located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Founded in 1944 by jeweler Saul Bell, the company is run by Arien Gessner (CEO). Rio Grande, a Berkshire Hathaway Company since 2013, offers jewelry-making supplies. While specializing in silver findings and fabrication materials, the company also provides metalsmithing tools and equipment, jewelry displays and packaging products, jewelry workbenches, casting machines and kilns, soldering and welding torches, gemstones, diamonds, and bead stringing materials. They also supply craft artisans who work in enamels and resins as well as copper and bronze metal clay (COPPRclay and BRONZclay) and silver and gold Precious Metal Clays (PMC). The company annually produces at least two product catalogs, specifically its Gems & Findings and Tools & Equipment books. The Rio Grande facility includes a large manufacturing area where many sterling silver and other precious metal findings, like jewelry chain, jump rings and split rings, clasps are produced both by fabrication and by casting methods. Since 2010, the entire facility has been solar-powered from nearly five acres of solar panels installed on the property. At the time of construction, the solar array was the largest solar photovoltaic installation in New Mexico with an expected annual output of 1.6 million kilowatt hours of electricity. Rio Grande regularly host jewelry making classes and workshop series for both professional and inexperienced artisans. Rio Grande is principle-based (guided by 15 overarching principles) rather than rule-based. Employees are encouraged to take an active role in the company's success through its participative management structure. The participative management concept is supposed to encourage the formation of small groups (teams) of employees organized by their functions roles to execute necessary business tasks and resolve specific challenges as they arise around the company. This style of management sprang, in part, from study of the Japanese quality circle movement and strategies from Toyota Production Systems' "Lean Manufacturing" approach.

Rio Grande Gorge Bridge

The Rio Grande Gorge Bridge, locally known as the "Gorge Bridge" or the "High Bridge", is a steel deck arch bridge across the Rio Grande Gorge 10 miles (16 km) northwest of Taos, New Mexico, United States. Roughly 600 feet (180 m) above the Rio Grande, it is the seventh highest bridge in the United States. Construction The bridge was started in 1963 and completed in 1965. It was dedicated on September 10, 1965 and is a part of U.S. Route 64, a major east–west road. The span is 1,280 feet (390 m): two 300-foot-long (91 m) approach spans with a 600-foot-long (180 m) main center span. Awards In 1966, the American Institute of Steel Construction awarded the bridge "Most Beautiful Steel Bridge" in the "Long Span" category. Restoration A $2.4 million "facelift" to the bridge was completed in September 2012. This year-long project included repair and restoration work to the 50-year-old bridge including structural steelwork, a new concrete deck surface, new sidewalks, ramps, curbs, and gutters. Suicide problem The bridge has been the site of numerous suicides. Authorities are studying ways to deter suicides, including the construction of suicide barriers, such as higher fencing, netting, or more security, and also hotline buttons, but cite money as a major reason no steps have been taken. Bridge height discrepancy Although one of the highest bridges in the United States, exactly how high the main span is above ground is unclear. When it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1967, this distance was cited as 650 ft (200 m) over the Rio Grande. Today, that number is still widely used. However, in 2010, the Highest Bridges Web Site came out with a substantially lower (565 ft (172 m)) figure. This height was most likely derived using a laser range finder but the site did not specifically reference it that way. Wikipedia used this 565 ft (172 m) figure in 2012 when updating its List of bridges in the United States by height, but kept the 650 ft (200 m) figure for the bridge in its Rio Grande del Norte National Monument article. In 2015, a height of 600 ft (180 m) appeared on the scene. An author of a bridge book noted this discrepancy and recommended this compromise number be used until the matter was authoritatively resolved. This height figure then cropped up in a January 2016 Materials Performance Magazine white paper about the bridge's then just completed inspection by the New Mexico Department of Transportation. In popular culture The bridge has appeared in many films, including Natural Born Killers, Twins, White Sands, She's Having a Baby, The Signal, Paul, Vacation, Wild Hogs, and Terminator Salvation.

Rio Grande Nature Center State Park

Der Rio Grande Nature Center State Park ist ein State Park am Nordrand der Stadt Albuquerque im Bernalillo County im US-Bundesstaat New Mexico. Die Interstate 40 verläuft im Süden. Der Park wird im Westen vom Rio Grande begrenzt und liegt auf einer Höhe von ca. 1500 Metern. Geschichte Ende der 1960er Jahre wurden Überlegungen angestellt, ein ökologisches Freizeit- und Erholungsgebiet am Rio Grande einzurichten. 1976 kaufte die Stadt Albuquerque ein ca. 70 Hektar großes Gelände. Zwischen 1978 und 1982 gestaltete der Architekt Antoine Predock dort ein Naturreservat. Auf diesem Areal wurde ein 15 Hektar großer Besucherbereich eröffnet. Parkgelände Der State Park ist ein Ökosystem am Fluss Rio Grande mit ausgedehnten Wald- und Sandflächen, Auen, Feuchtgebieten sowie landwirtschaftlich genutzten Flächen. Fauna und Flora sind sehr vielseitig. In den Herbst- und Wintermonaten wird das Gebiet von großen Zugvogelpopulationen besucht und eignet sich deshalb hervorragend für Vogelbeobachtungen. Es wurden über 300 Vogelarten festgestellt. Im Parkgelände gibt es vielfältige Wandermöglichkeiten, die individuell oder im Rahmen von Führungen unternommen werden können. Übernachtungen oder Camping im Park sind nicht gestattet. Informationszentrum Das Informationszentrum soll die Besucher auf die Bedeutung des Natur- und Landschaftsschutzes hinweisen. Im Eingangsbereich sind ca. 2,5 Meter lange, mit Wasser gefüllte senkrechte Rohre angebracht. Licht schimmert durch diese Röhren von Oberlichtern, um einen Unterwassereffekt zu erzeugen. Sie sollen damit physisch und symbolisch ein Unterwasserbild der im Park befindlichen Sümpfe und Teiche vermitteln. Im weiteren Verlauf werden umfangreiche Informationen zur Fauna und Flora des Gebietes sowie zum Natur- und Artenschutz vermittelt.

Rio Rancho High School

Rio Rancho High School is a public high school located in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, United States. It is a part of the Rio Rancho Public Schools. History Initially, the state rejected the proposal of Rio Rancho High School. However, Intel Corporation offered to build the high school instead and lease it back at $1 per year for thirty years. When the lease ended, Intel donated the school to a non-profit organization responsible for running the school. The school opened in 1997. Previously students in the school district at the high school level attended Albuquerque Public Schools. In April 1997, Rio Rancho High officials said that they had not yet finished development of programs for students with special needs. In 2008, due to overcrowding, Rio Rancho Public Schools constructed V. Sue Cleveland High School, which opened in August 2009. As a result, incoming 9th through 11th grade students who resided south of Northern Blvd began attend Rio Rancho High School and all residing north of Northern Blvd began to attend V. Sue Cleveland High School. The class of 2010 continued to attend Rio Rancho High School regardless of where they resided in Rio Rancho. President Barack Obama hosted a town hall meeting at the school on May 14, 2009 regarding credit card reform. In popular culture Rio Rancho High School was used as filming location for the TV series Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, being portrayed in the shows as J. P. Wynne High School. The campus was also used as a film location in the 2011 movie Fright Night.

Misión de San Agustín de la Isleta

La Misión de San Agustín de la Isleta es una misión con origen en el siglo XVII, época española, situada en Isleta Village Proper, pueblo de Isleta, condado de Bernalillo, Nuevo México, Estados Unidos. Pertenece a la arquidiócesis de Santa Fe. Se trata de una de las iglesias más antiguas de Nuevo México todavía en uso.​ Historia En 1540, la población de indios Isleta, llamada Shiewhibak en tihua, formó parte del recorrido de la gran expedición de Francisco Vázquez de Coronado. Su nombre se debe a que se encontraba sobre una isleta sobre el río Grande. La ausencia de riquezas mineras en la región supuso que los españoles no realizaran esfuerzos en la exploración o conquista del territorio en un primer momento. La población de Isleta estuvo en la ruta de la expedición de rescate de Antonio de Espejo en 1582. Éste recorrió la zona en búsqueda de los frailes de la pequeña expedición de Francisco Chamuscado y el fraile Agustín Rodríguez para la evangelización de los indígenas, que habían sido hechos cautivos por estos. La labor de evangelización supuso el establecimiento de la misión, cuya iglesia bajo la advocación de San Antonio de Padua se construyó en 1613 y 1617 por los vecinos de Isleta. En 1630 Alonso de Benavides dio cuenta del éxito en conversiones y bautismos de la región, que contaba con siete mil habitantes y en la zona de influencia del Camino Real de Tierra Adentro. La violenta revuelta de los indios pueblo de 1680 supuso la expulsión de los españoles y sus aliados, entre ellos los indios Isleta. Hasta el regreso doce años después, los indios Isleta se establecieron en Misión Ysleta, en El Paso (Texas).​ ​ ​ Con la reconquista de Nuevo México por Diego de Vargas en 1692-1693 regresaron parte de los indios Isleta. La iglesia y su convento fueron reconstruidos en 1709-1710, esta vez bajo la advocación de San Agustín. El fraile franciscano francés Anton Docher, el Padre de Isleta, fue destinado al Pueblo de Isleta tras varios años en la región, Suyas son las reformas de 1923 que añadieron capiteles neogóticos y un tejado a dos aguas.​ Sin embargo, a mediados del siglo XX la iglesia fue restaurada en estilo neopueblo y neomisión.​ Descripción Se trata de una de las iglesias más antiguas de Nuevo México todavía en uso, con alteraciones sin embargo en el tejado y la fachada.​ Pertenece al Distrito Histórico de Isleta Pueblo, registrado en el Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos. Las fiestas patronales se celebran el 28 de agosto en honor a San Agustín y el 4 de septiembre.​ Fotos Referencias Enlaces externos El contenido de este artículo incorpora texto de la Enciclopedia Católica (1913), que se encuentra en el dominio público.

San Miguel de Socorro

San Miguel de Socorro is the Catholic church in Socorro, New Mexico, built on the ruins of the old Nuestra Señora de Socorro mission. The old mission was built around 1627, but was destroyed in 1680 during the Pueblo Revolt. A portion of the adobe wall of the old church remains today and still can be seen behind glass just left of the altar. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016. San Miguel is administered by the Archdiocese of Santa Fe. History and legend According to the San Miguel website, it is the oldest Catholic church in the United States, founded in 1598. Although the village of Socorro was founded at this time, and the Nuestra Senora de Socorro was built in the 17th century, San Miguel itself was not built until the 19th century. The construction of the church was most likely completed by 1821 when the first church baptisms, burials and marriages were recorded. Local legend has it that during an Apache raid, an angel appeared and scared off the invaders. Parishioners thus decided to name the church after St. Michael, the archangel who supposedly saved the village. The last Mexican governor of New Mexico, Manuel Armijo, is buried at the church.
