History of Library Stained-Glass Windows | Monterey Park, CA - Official Website
Moving operations was a huge undertaking as 20,000 books, many tons of records, office equipment, furniture and artwork had to be carefully moved into the new building. The City was careful to salvage equipment that could be installed in the new library or used in other City departments. The salvage efforts were handled by Cleveland Wrecking Company.October 1960It was discovered that the stained-glass windows had somehow been misplaced. With all the excitement of the move, the huge glass pieces had seemingly disappeared and no one was sure where they were. The chief librarian at the time, George Anang, began a dogged search that lasted five years.1965Five years later, Monterey Park hired a contractor to catalogue the items in the City Yard. During the inventory, they discovered three wooden crates weighing about 400 pounds each leaning against a gravel pile. Inside these crates were the missing stained-glass windows!June 14, 1965Chief librarian George Anang reported the discovery to the Library Board of Trustees. He suggested that the Bruggemeyer family might like to have the windows back. The Board of Trustees unanimously voted to offer the windows to the family.2021Mr. James Kurilich, great-grandson of Judge Mancha Bruggemeyer, donated two of the 4’x8’ stained-glass windows to the City of Monterey Park.2024The windows are installed at the Monterey Park Bruggemeyer Library.

Solar in the Sahara
The images above show the first phase of the solar complex, Noor 1, located at the “door of the desert” in the south-central Moroccan town of Ouarzazate. The top image, acquired with the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8 in December 2013, shows the plant soon after the start of construction. OLI acquired the second image in December 2015 as the plant neared its inauguration. Turn on the image comparison tool to see 500,000 solar mirrors spread across the desert.
Noor 1 has a power-generating capacity of 160 megawatts. When construction on subsequent phases is completed sometime around 2020, the complex will be capable of producing 580 megawatts. It will become the largest concentrated solar power plant in the world. Almost half of Morocco’s energy is expected to come from renewables, about one-third of which will be from solar.
Concentrated solar power plants use the Sun’s energy to heat water and produce steam that spins energy-generating turbines. The system at Ouarzazate uses 12-meter-tall parabolic mirrors to focus energy onto a fluid-filled pipeline. The pipeline’s hot fluid—393 degrees Celsius (739 degrees Fahrenheit)—is the heat source used to warm the water and make steam. The plant doesn’t stop delivering energy at nighttime or when clouds obscure the sun; heat from the fluid can be stored in a tank of molten salts.
Ouarzazate’s Noor 1 was scheduled to go online in late December 2015. According to news reports, the plant’s launch was postponed to an unspecified date.

2024 Public Comments to Preliminary Applications
, erosion is minimal due to the hardening of the trail with yards and yards of rock, placed by volunteers and paid contractors, over the years. A bypass in this location would be intrusive into the forest and an unnecessary cost, burdened by our OHV funds. Let’s bring in more rock, as needed, and skip the bypass. Doug Barr – www.TheOtherRubicon.com Doug Barr - 4/29/2024

Mark and Maria Barnes Rubicon Soda Springs, Inc. April 30, 2024 To Whom It May Concern- These comments and questions concern the proposed Tahoe National Forest grant for the re-route of the McKinney Rubicon Trail. We are property owners/shareholders on the McKinney Rubicon Trail, namely, Rubicon Soda Springs, Inc. Addressing the Evaluation Criteria Question 5: To our knowledge no one from Rubicon Soda Springs, Inc. was notified of the ‘McKinney Rubicon Trail Reroute and Restoration Decision Memo, 08/02/2023.’ We found out about this quite accidentally. How can Tahoe National Forest claim credit for announcing an adopted plan or environmental document that was never brought to the notice of known property owners? We are also supposed to be able to see the NEPA document. Where is that? After traversing the Rubicon Trail since the late 90’s, we have observed great negligence in the maintaining of the Rubicon Trail on the Placer County side. From time to time a few things were done, but nothing even close to what was needed. We believe if the trail had been maintained over the years with proper water bars, drainage and rock installation, we would not be facing these problems now. So, the question now is, why does the Tahoe National Forest and Rubicon Trail Foundation suddenly have this great emergency for 2 bypasses, when the first geological study was done in 2017? We believe another grant Eldorado County applied for was lost because of non-cooperation from Tahoe National Forest and The Rubicon Trail Foundation. Makes you wonder why. We did attend the March 13, 2024, question and answer session put on by Rubicon Trail Foundation.

Credit: NASA	 | + Expand image How It WorksDividing any circle’s circumference by its diameter gives you an answer of pi, which is usually rounded to 3.14. Because pi is an irrational number, its decimal representation goes on forever and never repeats. In 2021, a supercomputer calculated pi to more than 62 trillion digits. But you might be surprised to learn that for space exploration, NASA uses far fewer digits of pi.Here at NASA, we use pi to understand how much signal we can receive from a distant spacecraft, to calculate the rotation speed of a Mars helicopter blade, and to collect asteroid samples. But pi isn’t just used for exploring the cosmos. Since pi can be used to find the area or circumference of round objects and the volume or surface area of shapes like cylinders, cones, and spheres, it is useful in all sorts of ways. Architects use pi when designing bridges or buildings with arches; electricians use pi when calculating the conductance of wire; and you might even want to use pi to figure out how much frozen goodness you are getting in your ice cream cone. In the United States, March 14 can be written as 3.14, which is why that date was chosen for celebrating all things pi. In 2009, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution officially designating March 14 as Pi Day and encouraging teachers and students to celebrate the day with activities that teach students about pi. And that's precisely what the NASA Pi Day Challenge is all about!

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A few questions from Veterans and their answers.</h2>

<p>Question: In applying for disability compensation, etc., I have been informed that there are not enough American Legion representatives in my area to handle the caseload of claims for Veterans. Not sure where to turn for assistance. I live in Cheektowaga, New York, a suburb of Buffalo.</p>

<p>Answers:</p>

<ul>
<li>The Buffalo American Legion (ALG) office closed on April 1, 2024, due to budgetary constraints.</li>

<li>The American Legion has an office in Buffalo City Hall, though it might be inconvenient.</li>

<li>The Buffalo RO is stepping in to assist Veterans, and outreach efforts are being made to support those affected.</li>
</ul>

<p>Question: Can you help with the appeal process and why does it take so long to get an answer? When calling 1-800-827-1000, representatives often do not provide accurate information on my case.</p>

<p>Answer:</p>

<ul>
<li>Appeals are inherently complex, requiring more time for resolution.</li>

<li>The transition to the Appeals Modernization Act (AMA) system aims to expedite the process.</li>

<li>Veterans now have three options for reviewing VA decisions: higher-level review, supplemental claim, or Board of Veterans’ Appeals.</li>

<li>The higher-level review process offers a quicker resolution with a de novo review.</li>

<li>Customer service quality at the VBA National Contact Center has significantly improved, with a 95.88% accuracy rate in appellate-related inquiries.</li>
</ul>

<p>Question: Can student loan forgiveness be made available to Veterans?</p>

<p>Answers:</p>

<ul>
<li>Several options exist to assist Veterans with student loan repayments, administered by the U.S. Department of Education.</li>
