The document describes the building of a dam located on the Colorado River between Nevada and Arizona. It was constructed to generate power for the surrounding areas. At over 1,200 feet long and 700 feet wide, the manmade dam was built on a former canyon site after workers removed a thick layer of mud down to the bedrock surface. The dam controls flooding on the Colorado River and provides benefits to the people, plants and animals near it.

Oswego
Oswego, New York has a population of 122,109. It is located at 43°27'19"N 76°30'38"W. The climate is cold, with average annual high and low temperatures of 55.7°F and 39.7°F respectively. Oswego State University enrolls around 8,300 students per year. The region was formed from Silurian age rocks and features low-lying plateau-like terrain underlain by sandstone, shale, limestone and dolostone bedrock. Overfishing and damming are environmental issues impacting fish populations in Lake Ontario.
Geography 5
The document summarizes key geographic features observed during a field trip, including:
Cinder Hill, a cinder cone volcano formed from lava blobs; Fossil Falls, with basalt rocks carved by glacial flows; Mormon Rocks, a sedimentary formation showing layers from past rainfall; and Mono Lake, which contains tufa formations and has higher salinity due to water diversion. The field trip observed evidence of human habitation like obsidian flakes, petroglyphes, and the Manzanar internment camp.
Komodo Dragons
The document discusses a large lizard found on islands in the Indian Ocean. It has 60 sharp teeth, thick scaly skin, a forked tongue, sharp claws, and a tail used for swimming and fighting. It can grow up to 10 feet long and weigh 300 pounds. However, its habitat is being destroyed as people clear land by fire and overhunt its food sources. Conservation efforts are needed to protect its habitat and move some to zoos to prevent its extinction.
Kaitlin hoover dam
Hoover Dam is located on the border of Nevada and Arizona. It is a 1,244 foot long, 726 foot tall manmade landmark built on land that holds back water to prevent flooding in towns. Hoover Dam is thick and its construction details make it an impressive engineering feat.
Hoover
The Hoover Dam was constructed on the Colorado River between 1930-1936. It was originally named Boulder Dam and cost $49 million to build. The dam is 660 feet thick, 1,244 feet long and impounds Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the United States. It provides flood control, water storage and hydroelectric power, helping to reclaim agricultural land in California. At the time of completion, it was the largest concrete structure and public works project in U.S. history.
Hoover dam
The Hoover Dam is a concrete arch-gravity dam located on the Colorado River between the US states of Arizona and Nevada. [1] It was constructed between 1931 and 1936 during the Great Depression. [2] Some of the major engineering challenges in constructing the Hoover Dam included pouring over 4.36 million cubic yards of concrete, diverting the river during construction using tunnels, and removing loose rocks from the canyon. [3] The dam provides benefits like electricity, water supply, and flood control, but also has negative environmental impacts such as releasing methane and lowering the river bed.
Cordell statue of liberty
The Statue of Liberty is a large manmade landmark located in New York Harbor in New York. Lady Liberty stands tall on an island in the water, welcoming immigrants and symbolizing freedom. One of the most iconic landmarks in the United States, the Statue of Liberty has stood as a symbol of democracy for over a century.

It provides an interesting and large monument to the former U.S. president made entirely of marble located in Washington D.C. on land.
Sara niagra falls
The document describes a natural landmark located in Canada or New York that is found on water and is over 1000 feet high. It provides few details about the landmark other than noting it has a lot of water and questions how the water got there, finding the landmark interesting for that reason.
Cameron liberty bell
The Liberty Bell is located in Pennsylvania on land. It is a manmade landmark made of copper and tin that weighs 2,080 pounds, stands 3 feet tall and is 12 feet wide. It cracked in 1846 and is now housed at the Liberty Bell Center, which opened in October 2003, with its last ring occurring on George Washington's birthday in 1846.
Hoover Dam2
The Hoover Dam was built on the Colorado River between Nevada and Arizona to address water needs in the growing Southwestern United States. It controls flooding, provides irrigation water for farming, and generates hydroelectric power. The location was suitable due to the deep sandstone canyons which allowed for water storage and a narrow dam. While the dam provided benefits like water and power, it also displaced Native American settlements and disrupted natural river flows and ecosystems.
Genesis mississippi river
The Mississippi River is a natural landmark that flows through 10 states from Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico, spanning 2,552 miles. It is the second longest river in North America and gets its name from the Ojibwa Native American tribe, whose name for the river translates to "great river".
Landmarks power points template
This document asks for information about a landmark, including its location, whether it is found on land or water, if it is natural or manmade, its size, a description, and an interesting fact.
Cell phone
The document discusses cell phone use while driving and laws banning such use. It provides details on states that have banned handheld or all cell phone use while driving. Survey data is also presented that was collected from employees on their cell phone use habits and opinions on whether such use contributes to accidents and whether stricter laws would help reduce accidents. Statistical tests were performed on the survey data, finding that over half of accidents are caused by cell phones and that most people agree stricter laws would reduce accidents.
Harper grand canyon
The Grand Canyon is located in Arizona. It is a natural landmark on land that is 277 miles long. The Grand Canyon was formed by the Colorado River and is home to various plants and animals.
Alan o golden gate bridge
The Golden Gate Bridge is located in San Francisco, California. It is a manmade landmark that spans the Golden Gate strait, connecting San Francisco to Marin County. At over 4,200 feet long and 746 feet tall, it is the largest suspension bridge in the U.S. when it was completed in 1937 after four years of construction.
Skype & voip
The document discusses Skype and VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol). Skype allows users to make free voice and video calls over the internet. It has over 300 million users and accounted for 27.7 billion minutes of calls in 2009, over a third of which were video calls. VOIP converts voice calls into digital signals that can be transmitted over the internet, allowing users to make phone calls from computers or wireless networks. The document provides examples of how Skype and VOIP can be used both in educational and business settings.

Utilizing SharePoint for Project Management
SharePoint has been on the market from 2001, and since then, matured into a very stable and popular business collaboration platform. The beauty of SharePoint is that it is relatively easy to customize and it provides an experience already familiar to users via Office suite. Most frequent use of the platform by corporations has been in the areas of web content management, information sharing and document management.
However, adoption of SharePoint as a true Project Management Information System (PMIS) has been slow. Out-of-the-box SharePoint is unappealing, customization takes time and acceptance at PMO level is often very bureaucratic.
In this presentation I will demonstrate how you can customize SharePoint to help you with your next project. You will walk away learning tips and tricks that you can implement literally in hours. Among other things, you will learn how SharePoint can help you facilitate project team collaboration, integrate existing methodologies and empower your project team.
