Hoover Dam was built between 1931-1936 on the border of Nevada and Arizona. It was constructed as a concrete anti-gravity dam across the Black Canyon of the Colorado River. The dam cost over $100 million and hundreds of lives to build. Six Companies, Inc was awarded the contract to build the dam. They established a new city called Boulder City to house the thousands of workers during construction. Hoover Dam provides hydroelectric power and irrigation water to parts of the western United States.

Long lines of cars, buses and trucks in low gear wind along the two-lane road down one steep side of Black Canyon and up the other. The lines stop frequently as carloads of tourists crane their necks at the grandeur of the site, and drivers search for a parking space among the tiers of overlooks. For all the conges? tion, few motorists seem impatient or interested in searching maps for alternate routes. Everyone driving in this vicinity must know that U.S. High? way 95, which arcs along the crest of the dam, is the only road across the Colorado River between Davis Dam, over 50 miles to the south, and Nava jo Bridge, over 150 miles to the east. Pedestrians move about the top of the dam at a snail's pace in the desert heat, crisscrossing the crest over which, by design, no water has ever flowed. Several thousand tourists may visit Hoover Dam on a summer day, most of them standing in long lines to board the large elevator that takes them, 20 at a time, 600 feet down into the inner workings of the dam. Many come from Las Vegas, 35 miles to the northwest. Even there, amid all the noise and neon, a visit to Hoover Dam is hawked as one of the area's must-do things. The pitch may be engineering achieve? ment as awesome entertainment, but few who visit the works at Black Canyon seem disappoint? ed by the decided calmness and harmony of it all. Just as the Mississippi River wreaked havoc in the Midwest last summer, so the Colorado River used to be alternately a blessing and a bane for the Southwest. Although the Colorado seemed a pot ...

The black canyon of the gunnison

Yanka http://elrincondeyanka.blogspot.com/

The Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Monument By Richard G. Beidleman* Colorado's Black Canyon of the Gunnison certainly ranks among the foremost chasms of the world in terms of dimensions and renown. Starting at Sapinero, where the ancient preCambrian rock complex first becomes evident, the Gunnison River has cut an ever deepening gorge to westward for a distance of some fifty miles until, swinging northwest, the river leaves its walled confines and joins the North Fork of the Gunnison River in the North Fork Valley near Delta. The deepest and most spectacular portion of this chasm, a twelve-mile length, has been included within the boundary of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Monument, which was established by the presidential proclamation of Herbert Hoover thirty y ears ago on March 2, 1933. Here the gorge depth ranges from 1,730 to 2,725 feet, while the width narrows to 1,100 feet at the rim and as little as 40 feet at the bottom, at the latter site the river completely inundating the chasm floor. The depth and narrowness of the Black Canyon is emphasized by the sheer, black-stained, lichen-covered, variegated pre-Cambrian walls and the periodic gloom that shrouds the depths.

Introduction to Quality Improvement Essentials

Excellence Foundation for South Sudan

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024. He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...

Sandy Millin

http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024 Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error. Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials. This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdf

kaushalkr1407

The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence. The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth. Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration. The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority. Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages. Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation Blue Star - Saka Neela Tara

Balvir Singh

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup. The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
