A publicly supported nonprofit organization, the Foundation fosters cultural understanding, provides a forum for the exchange of ideas, and sustains an extensive program of fellowships, grants, internships/training, publishing, and cultural events. Over 30,000 Scandinavians and Americans have participated in its exchange programs over the last century. In October 2000, the ASF inaugurated Scandinavia House: The Nordic Center in America, its headquarters, where it presents a broad range of public programs furthering its mission to reinforce the strong relationships between the United States and the Nordic nations, honoring their shared values and appreciating their differences. 58 PARK AVENUE, NEW YORK, NY 10016 • AMscan.ORG H.M.

Rare Earth Elements in Planetary Crusts: Insights from Chemically Evolved Igneous Suites on Earth and the Moon
minerals Article Rare Earth Elements in Planetary Crusts: Insights from Chemically Evolved Igneous Suites on Earth and the Moon Claire L. McLeod 1,* and Barry J. Shaulis 2 1 Department of Geology and Environmental Earth Sciences, 203 Shideler Hall, Miami University, Oxford, OH 45056, USA 2 Department of Geosciences, Trace Element and Radiogenic Isotope Lab (TRaIL), University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, AR 72701, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-513-529-9662 Received: 5 July 2018; Accepted: 8 October 2018; Published: 16 October 2018 Abstract: The abundance of the rare earth elements (REEs) in Earth’s crust has become the intense focus of study in recent years due to the increasing societal demand for REEs, their increasing utilization in modern-day technology, and the geopolitics associated with their global distribution. Within the context of chemically evolved igneous suites, 122 REE deposits have been identified as being associated with intrusive dike, granitic pegmatites, carbonatites, and alkaline igneous rocks, including A-type granites and undersaturated rocks. These REE resource minerals are not unlimited and with a 5–10% growth in global demand for REEs per annum, consideration of other potential REE sources and their geological and chemical associations is warranted. The Earth’s moon is a planetary object that underwent silicate-metal differentiation early during its history. Following ~99% solidification of a primordial lunar magma ocean, residual liquids were enriched in potassium, REE, and phosphorus (KREEP). While this reservoir has not been directly sampled, its chemical signature has been identified in several lunar lithologies and the Procellarum KREEP Terrane (PKT) on the lunar nearside has an estimated volume of KREEP-rich lithologies at depth of 2.2 × 108 km3. -

Easter Tradition 7 Samuelsen trip 7-8 Before we get into this year’s goals, let me introduce myself for those of you I haven’t had the chance to meet. My name is Tim Lisko, I’m an adjunct professor of Photography at Franklin President College, and your new lodge President. Tim Lisko What that means for me is that I have a lot of learning to do. It’s going to be my job during Vice President Dagrun Bennett these next few months and for the duration of my term to glean as much as I can from the experience and wisdom of past presidents, board members and, of course, the long-time Secretary membership. Nancy Andersen Treasurer What I’d like to do this year with the support and approval of the board and general Burt Bittner membership is to take what we do best -- getting together as a community of people who love the Social Co-directors culture, history and people of Norway -- and use it to get the word out to anybody else who’d fit Mike Jacobs right in. -

Témoignage De Michèle-France Pesneau Carrefour Sentinelle Du 13 Mars 2020
Témoignage de Michèle-France Pesneau Carrefour Sentinelle du 13 mars 2020 1) Jeunesse (1945-1966) Je suis née en 1945 dans une famille catholique où on ne s’interroge pas trop sur la foi, ni sur Dieu. On va à la messe le dimanche. Ma mère y va même parfois en semaine. On suit la tradition. Mon père meurt lorsque j’ai à peine 9 ans, en 1954. Je suis l’aînée, et j’ai assez tôt des responsabilités un peu lourdes pour mon âge. La vie n’est pas facile à la maison. Notre mère nous aime profondément, c’est sûr, mais elle est très maladroite, assez culpabilisante. Son Dieu ressemble au « Dieu pervers » dont parle Maurice Bellet. A l’adolescence, je vais découvrir, dans la Bible, un autre Dieu que celui de mon éducation traditionnelle, et ce Dieu ne tarde pas à me séduire. A la même époque, je découvre Thérèse d’Avila, personnage fascinant pour l’adolescente que je suis. Et au cours de ma classe de philo je vais rencontrer St jean de la Croix et son expérience nocturne de Dieu. Je suis de plus en plus attirée par ce Dieu invisible et inconnaissable, qu’on rencontre « de nuit ». L’idée du Carmel commence à se formuler en moi, d’abord vaguement, puis de façon de plus en plus précise. Après avoir obtenu un bac philo, je m’inscris en fac de lettres pour faire une licence de philo. Je veux toujours entrer au Carmel. Ce que je fais, dès ma licence obtenue. 2) Vie religieuse au Carmel de Boulogne-Billancourt (1966-1974) J’entre au Carmel de Boulogne Billancourt le 4 décembre 1966. -
