Notre Dame High School (Sherman Oaks, California)

Notre Dame High School (NDHS) in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles, California, is a co-ed Catholic college preparatory high school founded by the Congregation of Holy Cross in 1947. Initially a boys' school, it has been co-educational since the 1980s and has occupied the same campus since its founding. Located in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, Notre Dame was designated a United States Department of Education Blue Ribbon school for 1990–1991 and 1994–1996 . History Notre Dame High School was founded by the Congregation of Holy Cross. At that time, some Holy Cross brothers were already on the staff at a Long Beach parish high school, St. Anthony, and have had a presence in the area since the 1850's. There was only one Catholic high school in the San Fernando Valley, Corvallis High School for girls run by the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary, hence the decision to establish a school there to educate local boys. Father Cavanaugh, the newly-appointed president of the University of Notre Dame and two local priests visited the Riverside Drive location and purchased the land in 1945. Plans were drawn up immediately and the campus was to be built in the Mission style, the buildings modeling various Spanish Missions along the coast of California. The school opened on September 15, 1947 with 120 boys. During the 1970s, Notre Dame went through a tumultuous period where enrollment dipped dangerously low, as was the trend throughout the Archdiocese of Los Angeles at that time. The buildings needed upgrading and there were discussions about selling the valuable property and moving to another site. The brothers contacted the nuns in charge of Corvallis to propose a merger but were rejected. Notre Dame announced it would admit girls starting from the 1983–84 academic year, a move which helped them to weather the decline in the enrollment encountered by other Catholic high schools in the San Fernando Valley area due to the aging population and competition from other private schools. When Corvallis closed in 1987, many of its girls transferred to Notre Dame. Demographics The demographic breakdown of the 1,229 students enrolled for 2017–18 was: Native American/Alaskan = 0.6% Asian = 6.2% Black = 8.0% Hispanic = 17.3% Native Hawaiian/Pacific islander = 5.8% White = 62.2% Notable alumni References External links Official website

Nude Bowl

The Nude Bowl was a popular skateboarding locale from the late 1970s to the early 1990s. The name comes from the fact that the site was once a naturist resort named "Desert Gardens Ranch." It is outside Desert Hot Springs, California and consists of an abandoned kidney bean shaped swimming pool and a few foundations of buildings that used to surround the area. There is no paved road to the Nude Bowl. Initially, the Nude Bowl was merely a skateboarding party location, but by the 1990s, large parties and violence became commonplace there. After numerous complaints about guns and fighting around the Nude Bowl, the police filled it in with dirt. Skateboarders returned, removed the dirt, and repaired the bowl. After a few months, the police broke up the concrete and buried the remains of the bowl, but the pool was later excavated and repaired. Documentary and resurrection A documentary project on the site was started in 2008, intending to trace the Nude Bowl's history, from Nudist Colony to the many attempts at re-building. The Palm Springs Skatepark contains a replica of the Nude Bowl, which is the most popular feature in the park. The history of the Nude Bowl is the subject of JFA's popular song "Nude Bowl Resurrection".

O'Farrell Community School

The O'Farrell Charter School (colloquially known as OCS or simply O'Farrell) is a system of public charter schools in San Diego, California, United States. The school opened its doors in San Diego Unified School District in 1959 chosen in 1957 as Mabel E. O'Farrell Junior High. It was voted to become a charter school in 1994 and currently encompasses The O'Farrell Charter Elementary, Middle, High School and Ingenuity Charter School which has multiple campuses and is primarily online. Through the years, the O'Farrell Charter School has received numerous awards and distinctions. It was named one of America's top high schools by U.S. News and World report six years in a row. It has also been named a school of distinction by National Center for Urban School Transformation. O'Farrell is an AVID National Demonstration School. President Bill Clinton made a visit to San Diego in 1995 to sign the Goals 2000 education bill and to visit O'Farrell because it was a charter. The school was mentioned in Hillary Clinton's book It Takes a Village. Schools within a school O’Farrell operates as a community-based charter system encompassing multiple grade levels within a single campus. It is organized into different grade-based divisions, including an elementary school, a middle school, and a separate high school, each designed to serve the developmental and academic needs of its students while maintaining a unified educational mission. The place's “schools within a school” structure allows O’Farrell to provide continuity for students from kindergarten through twelfth grade while having a strong sense of community across grade levels. All schools operate on the almost-exact same campus in the Skyline–South Encanto border area. Each O'Farrell school has a principal and vice principal, and has a separate program, teachers, and bell schedules. In 2014, "Ingenuity Charter School, Blended Learning Independent Study Program" was added as an official part of The O'Farrell Charter Schools. Students attend in person at one of the school's resource centers at least twice per week and work independently online on the other days. Athletics and extracurricular activities The O'Farrell Falcons high school athletic teams represent The O'Farrell Charter High School in various sports. All squads play under the CIF San Diego Section, the governing body for all high school sports in San Diego County and Imperial County. O'Farrell competes in the Frontier Conference for most sports, with the exception of American football, which participates in the Coastal Conference's Sunset League alongside schools like Maranatha Christian or Victory Christian High School. Their various Frontier Conference teams are members of the Summitt League in three sports and the Patriot League in two, which is subject to switch every season. Notable alumni Rosalie Hamlin, known for 1960 song "Angel Baby" Shirley Horton, California assemblywoman and former mayor of Chula Vista Tom Waits, claimed to have attended this school and remembered it as an all-black school in a 1973 interview References
O'Neill Forebay

O'Neill Forebay is a forebay to the San Luis Reservoir created by the construction of O'Neill Dam across San Luis Creek approximately 12 miles (19 km) west of Los Banos, California, United States, on the eastern slopes of the Pacific Coast Ranges of Merced County. Background Roughly 2.5 miles (4.0 km) downstream from the San Luis Dam, O'Neill Forebay collects irregular water releases from the San Luis Dam and the 424 MW pumped-storage hydroelectric William R. Gianelli Powerplant in its 56,400 acre⋅ft (69,600 dam3) basin. A morning-glory type spillway lies at the left bank of the reservoir. The reservoir is fed by the California Aqueduct and the Delta–Mendota Canal. Water from the canal is lifted a vertical distance of 8 ft (2.4 m) into a channel running 2,200 ft (670 m) into the forebay. O'Neill Dam O'Neill Dam, constructed from 1963 to 1967, is an 87.5 ft (26.7 m), earthfill and rockfill dam, stretching over 3 mi (4.8 km) across the valley of San Luis Creek. With a maximum reservoir depth of 57 ft (17 m), peak inflow to the forebay is 15,600 ft3 (0.44 dam3) per second, from both the San Luis Dam and the Delta–Mendota Canal. The drainage area of the reservoir downstream of the San Luis Dam is only 18 acres (730 dam2). The O'Neill Pumping-Generating Plant stores 28 megawatt hours of energy. Recreation The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) has developed an advisory for O'Neill Forebay because of mercury and PCBs found in fish caught here. The advisory provides safe eating advice for multiple fish species. The largest striped bass caught in California was caught in the O’Neill Forebay. The fish, 52.5 in (1,330 mm) and weighing 70.6 lb (32.0 kg), was caught on August 5, 2008, by Frank Ualat of Gilroy, California.

OVRO 40 meter Telescope

The OVRO 40 meter Telescope is a radio telescope at the Owens Valley Radio Observatory near Big Pine, California, US. It is owned and operated by Caltech. The telescope is easily visible from the section of US highway 395 just north of Big Pine. History Construction of the telescope was funded by the National Science Foundation, as a prototype for a planned astronomical interferometer at Owens Valley. The interferometer was to incorporate eight dishes moving on rails, positioned up to 5 miles (8.0 km) apart. The 40-metre (130 ft) diameter prototype was completed in 1968, but by the end of the decade plans for the interferometer were cancelled in favour of the Very Large Array. The newly-constructed prototype was instead combined with existing telescopes at Owens Valley to form a smaller interferometer, with maximum baseline of 0.75 miles (1.21 km). Starting in 1969, it was also sometimes used as a very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) station, in conjunction with more distant observatories. When operating with the Parkes telescope in Australia it provided the longest baseline then available in the world, and hence the highest angular resolution of 0.4 milliarcseconds. VLBI operations continued until 1991, when they were retired in favour of the more capable Very Long Baseline Array. Current use In 2007 the telescope was re-purposed for a dedicated blazar monitoring campaign, in support of the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope which launched in 2008 and observes blazars in gamma rays. As of 2018 the telescope takes regular measurements of over 1800 blazars, by observing each one at 15 gigahertz (2.0 cm) twice a week. In popular culture Much of the 1996 film The Arrival was filmed at Owens Valley Radio Observatory, and the climactic fight scene occurred in, and on the primary mirror of, the 40 meter telescope.

40-метровий телескоп Овенс-Веллі

40-метровий телескоп радіообсерваторії Овенс-Веллі — радіотелескоп в радіообсерваторії Овенс-Веллі поблизу Біг-Пайна в Каліфорнії у США. Він належить і управляється Каліфорнійським технологічним інститутом. Історія Будівництво телескопа фінансувалося Національним науковим фондом як прототип для запланованого радіоінтерферометра в Овенс-Веллі. Інтерферометр повинен був включати вісім параболічних антен, рухомих на рейках, розташованих на відстані до 8 км одна від одної. Прототип діаметром 40 м був завершений у 1968 році, але наприкінці десятиліття плани щодо інтерферометра були скасовані на користь Дуже великого масиву. Натомість нещодавно збудований прототип був об'єднаний з існуючими телескопами в Овенс-Веллі для створення меншого інтерферометра з максимальною базою 1,2 км. Починаючи з 1969 року, телескоп також іноді використовували у поєднанні з більш віддаленими обсерваторіями для інтерферометрії з наддовгою базою. Під час роботи з телескопом Паркса в Австралії він забезпечив найдовшу в світі базу й, отже, найвищу кутову роздільну здатність у 0,4 мілісекунд. Роботи у складі радіоінтерферометра з наддовгою базою тривали до 1991 року, коли їх було припинено на користь більш потужного радіоінтерферометра VLBA. Поточне використання У 2007 році телескоп було перепрофільовано для спеціальної кампанії моніторингу блазарів на підтримку космічного гамма-телескопа Фермі, який був запущений у 2008 році та спостерігав блазари в гамма-променях. Станом на 2018 рік телескоп проводив регулярні вимірювання понад 1800 блазарів, спостерігаючи за кожним із них на частоті 15 ГГц (довжина хвилі 2 см) двічі на тиждень. У культурі Більшу частину фільму «Прибуття» 1996 року знімали в радіообсерваторії Овенс-Веллі, а кульмінаційна сцена бійки відбувалася в головному дзеркалі 40-метрового телескопа.

Oakland Harbor Light

Oakland Harbor Light is a former lighthouse, now a restaurant in Embarcadero Cove, California. History The original tower was built in 1890 at the entrance of Oakland Harbor. The wooden pilings on which the structure sat had deteriorated by 1902, and a larger replacement lighthouse was constructed on concrete pilings nearby, which began operation in 1903. The original structure was then sold and removed. In 1966, the lighthouse was replaced by an automated beacon and deactivated. It was eventually sold to a private party and relocated to Embarcadero Cove in Oakland, where it opened in 1984 as Quinn's Lighthouse Restaurant. The lantern room was removed after deactivation in 1966, and was transferred to Mark Abbott Memorial Lighthouse in Santa Cruz, California, where it continued to deteriorate and was replaced in 1996.

Phare d'Oakland Harbor

Le phare d'Oakland Harbor était un phare situé à l'entrée du port d'Oakland en baie de San Francisco, dans le Comté d'Alameda (État de la Californie), aux États-Unis. Ce phare était géré par la Garde côtière américaine, et les phares de l'État de Californie sont entretenus par le District 11 de la Garde côtière . Histoire Le phare d'origine a été construit en 1890 à l'entrée du port d'Oakland. Les pieux de bois sur lesquels la structure reposait s'étant détériorés en 1902, un plus grand phare de remplacement a été construit sur des pilotis de béton à proximité. Le second phare a été mis en service en 1903. La structure originale a ensuite été vendue et transportée. En 1966, le phare a été remplacé par un phare automatisé, puis désactivé de nouveau. Il a finalement été vendu à une entreprise privée et déménagé à Embarcadero Cove à Oakland. La lanterne hébergeait une lentille de Fresnel diffusant une lumière visible jusqu'à 20 kilomètres à la ronde. Une cloche de 1,5 tonne sonnait toutes les 5 secondes les jours de brume (remplacée par un diaphone à air en 1918). La lanterne a été retirée après sa désactivation en 1966 et a été transférée au Mark Abbott Memorial Lighthouse à Santa Cruz, en Californie , où elle a continué de se détériorer et a été remplacée en 1996. Le bâtiment a rouvert ses portes en 1984 sous le nom de Quinn's Lighthouse Restaurant and Pub , une enseigne servant des plats typiquement américains.
