PDFR35 | Digital curation is the management and preservation of digital data over the long-term. All activities involved in managing data from planning its creation, implementing best practices in digitization and documentation, and ensuring its security, availability and suitability for discovery and re-use in the future are part of digital curation. Digital curation can also include managing datasets for daily use, for example ensuring that they can be searched and continue to be readable over time. Digital curation is therefore applicable to a large range of professional situations from the beginning of the information lifecycle to the end; digitizers, metadata creators, funders, policy-makers, and repository managers |

PDFUSH | The Department of Justice ("DOJ") and the Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") are jointly responsible for enforcing the federal Fair Housing Act (the "Act"), which prohibits discrimination in housing on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, and disability.2 One type of disability discrimination prohibited by the Act is the refusal to make reasonable accommodations in rules, policies, practices, or services when such accommodations may be necessary to afford a person with a disability the equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling.3 HUD and DOJ frequently respond to complaints alleging that housing providers have violated the Act by refusing reasonable accommodations to persons with disabilities. This Statement provides technical assistance regarding the rights and obligations of persons with disabilities and housing providers under the Act relating to reasonable accommodations |

This is a valuable historical document. Although the book is more than 70 years old, its theme of the importance of our forests still resonates today. Excerpts from a book review by Robert A. Cockrell in the journal Science, Vol 111, Issue 2874, January 27, 1950, p. 97:

“Forests and Men comprise about two-thirds of the yearbook…It is subdivided into several sections…ecology; seeding and planting; genetics; management and care of private and public forests; protection from insects, diseases, parasites and fire; wildlife; water relations; wood utilization; history; economics and policy”.

…Through its [the book’s] pages there is a strong undercurrent of sound conservation of natural resources, a guide to action that we must follow if we are to give future generations a chance to attain a reasonably adequate standard of living. This book is highly recommended”.

ABSTRACT:
This is the Final Environmental Impact Assessment/Environmental Impact Report on the 10 MW Solar Power Pilot Plant project. The project is the construction of a 10 Megawatt, Solar Thermal Electric, (STE} Pilot Plant in the Mojave Desert of California. It's purpose is to research, over a 5 year period, the technologic, economic and environmental feasibility of future STE utility application. The Pilot Plant will consist of a field of 2300 collector mirrors (heliostats) that will focus solar radiation on a boiler at the top of a 325' tower for the purpose of producing steam to drive a conventional turbine generator. The plant will require approximately 100 acres of a 130 acre site owned by Southern California Edison (SCE}. It will be located 1 mile east of SCE's existing Coolwater Generating Station, 10 miles east of Barstow (120 air miles northeast of Los Angeles).

Obsolete (published 1901) as far as the geology goes, but interesting for infrastructure and environmental reasons. About what you would expect for a reproduced copy of a 100+ year old book. After the geology section there are brief reports on every mine in the district; these are not particularly exciting reading. Illustrations include contrasty photographs of various mine sites and plans of some of the mines. The index was adequate.

When researching past industries – manufactured gas and steam locomotive servicing are the ones I’ve been interested in – I’m always amazed by the number of subindustries necessary to keep things going. Manufactured gas had automatic stokers and exhaust collection equipment and a host of byproducts (that in some cases were more valuable than the gas). The precious metal mining industry had similar assortments of equipment. Paging through this book, I ran across Blake crushers, stamp mills, roller mills, Wilfley tables, Hartz jigs, Woodbury tables, and end-shake slime tables. I had to look all these up to figure out what they were for; now you can too. They had to be lugged by steam locomotive and mule power to remote spots in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado and put to work for a few dollars per ton worth of gold. Most ran by electricity; that means the mining outfits had to set up electrical plants as well – which was not all that simple in 1901. It strikes me that a lot of remote mining towns in Colorado probably had electricity before larger towns, just because the mines needed it. For more on mining technology, see Drills and Mills and Blown to Bits in the Mine.

My other interest here is the long term environmental consequences of mining. I’m not a tree-hugger; the metals for sustainable energy, for solar cells and batteries and wind turbines, all have to be mined, and if they don’t get mined you don’t get any of those things. Still, the mining industry does take heavy metals which have mostly be sequestered underground (I emphasize “mostly”; there are a lot of places in the western US where the “natural” soil and water is pretty unpleasant) and brings them to the surface, where they have to be dealt with. In the old days this usually consisted of dumping them in the nearest creek. Even after the mine is abandoned, acid mine drainage continues to leach interesting things into the water, and that water sometimes makes it to the outside world. In 2015, a contractor working on remediation efforts at the Gold King mine accidently breached a containment wall and three million gallons of water and sludge flowed into the Animas River, which turned bright orange as a result (the orange color was due to iron oxides, which are pretty harmless; it was the stuff you couldn’t see that was dangerous). At any rate, the Gold King Mine is one of the ones profiles in this book; it’s noted as having “abundant pyrite”, which is where all that acid drainage comes from. For more on mine wastes, see Mine Wastes.

This is a good book for someone who is just starting out in the country, with an inclination towards homesteading or self-sufficiency, or for someone who is making the move from the city to the suburbs or a rural area to expand on an existing hobby farm or vegetable garden level of self sufficiency. It's a collection of articles and essays by experts (usually USDA county extension agents) on the nuts and bolts of moving to the country, finding and fixing up a place, and deciding on what use best suits you and your land. Obviously the dollar amounts they reference are way off given the amount of inflation that's taken place in the past 34 years, but most of the points they raise are still valid: Can you afford the mortgage? Can you keep your day job if you move out here? Is your land really suited to crops or would it be better put to animals? Can you handle doing your own butchering? Do you have the discipline to run your own small business from your home? Would you really be comfortable with your property being opened to strangers if you operated a B&B? Is there a market for honey (or whatever) in your area? Have you considered a Christmas tree farm for a second income?

Plenty of good food for thought in this book. You may hone your existing plan, you may drop a plan that was unwise, or you may come across a great idea you never considered.
