Shasta-Talsperre

Die Shasta-Talsperre (englisch Shasta Dam) steht am Sacramento River bei dem Ort Shasta Lake nahe Redding im US-Bundesstaat Kalifornien. Sie wurde zwischen 1938 und 1945 im Rahmen einer Arbeitsbeschaffungsmaßnahme des Works Progress Administration erbaut. Der Stausee ist wie der Ort als Shasta Lake bekannt. Die Gegend ist ein beliebtes Erholungsgebiet. Nutzung Die Shasta-Talsperre ist ein Teil der „Shasta and Trinity River Division“ des Central Valley Project von 1933, das 1935 mit Mitteln des „Emergency Relief Appropriation Act“ startete. Die „Shasta and Trinity Division“ wurde im August 1955 bevollmächtigt. Der Standort der Talsperre wurde vom Staat Kalifornien ausgewählt. Kalifornien konnte das Projekt aber nicht allein finanzieren und erbat Hilfe von der amerikanischen Regierung. Der Zweck des „Central Valley Project“ ist die Wasserversorgung und der Hochwasserschutz; beiden Zwecken dient auch die Shasta-Talsperre. Der Stausee dient auch der Bewässerung, der Wasserkraftgewinnung, der Erholung und der Steigerung der Wasserqualität. Absperrbauwerk Das Absperrbauwerk ist eine gekrümmte Gewichtsstaumauer aus Beton. Die Staumauer ist 183 Meter hoch und 1055 Meter lang, hat eine Basisbreite von 165,5 Meter und ein Bauwerksvolumen von 4 Mio. m³. Wasserkraftwerk Am Fuß der Staumauer steht ein Wasserkraftwerk. Es verfügt über eine hydraulische Fallhöhe von 100 Metern und seine fünf Francis-Turbinen haben zusammen eine Leistung von 610 MW. Es ist das viertgrößte Wasserkraftwerk in Kalifornien und das größte, das kein Pumpspeicherwerk ist. Das Wasser fließt durch fünf Rohre mit Durchmessern von 4,5 Meter. Bei voller Kraft fließen 85 m³ Wasser pro Sekunde hindurch. Der Strom wird mit einer Spannung von 13.800 Volt erzeugt und zur Übertragung an die Verbraucher in Kalifornien auf 230.000 Volt transformiert. Erhöhung Im September 2004 wurde ein Gesetz eingebracht, nach dem eine Erhöhung der Staumauer erforscht werden soll. Die Befürworter meinen, dass ein dringender Wasserbedarf besteht. Gegner wie zum Beispiel der Winnemem-Wintu-Indianerstamm halten das für einen für die Umwelt gefährlichen Plan und denken, dass Maßnahmen zum Wassersparen sinnvoller erforscht werden sollten.

Diga Shasta

La diga Shasta anche nota come diga Kennett è una diga ad arco a gravità che fu costruita nel 1938 lungo il corso del fiume Sacramento nella parte settentrionale della California nella omonima valle del Sacramento. La diga funge principalmente da bacino idrico e ha la funzione di laminare la portata del corso d'acqua. Il lago che forma la diga prende il nome di lago Shasta. La diga fornisce anche corrente elettrica tramite 5 turbine. Con una altezza di 602 piedi (183 m) la diga Shasta fa parte delle dighe più alte degli Stati Uniti d'America.

Zapora Shasta

Zapora Shasta (przed ukończeniem budowy określana także jako Zapora Kennett) – zapora i elektrownia wodna na rzece Sacramento w północnej części stanu Kalifornia (Dolina Sacramento) w USA. Podstawowym celem powstania zapory stało się gromadzenie wody pitnej, ochrona przeciwpowodziowa okolicznych obszarów, oraz produkcja energii elektrycznej. Zapora jest ósmym najwyższym obiektem tego rodzaju w Stanach Zjednoczonych (183 m wysokości). Powstałe w wyniku spiętrzenia wód zapory Jezioro Shasta jest największym sztucznym rezerwuarem wodnym w Kalifornii. Pierwsze plany utworzenia zapory datować należy na drugą połowę XIX stulecia. Budowa zapory przewidziana została już w 1919 roku w związku z częstymi powodziami i suszami nawiedzającymi ten najistotniejszy pod względem rolniczym obszar Kalifornii (Central Valley). Konstrukcja zapory rozpoczęta została w 1937, a ukończona w 1945 roku (26 miesięcy przed planowanym terminem). W chwili ukończenia była drugą najwyższą zaporą w Stanach Zjednoczonych i modelowym przykładem nowoczesnych rozwiązań hydrotechnicznych. Jeszcze przed właściwym oddaniem obiektu do użytku należąca do kompleksu zapory elektrownia pełniła istotną funkcję gospodarczą, dostarczając energię kalifornijskim fabrykom w okresie wojny. Całkowita długość zapory wynosi 1050 metrów, a jej wysokość 183 metry. Pojemność powstałego w wyniku spiętrzenia zapory sztucznego rezerwuaru wodnego (Jezioro Shasta) wynosi 4 790 000 m³. W ramach kompleksu funkcjonuje elektrownia wodna o całkowitej mocy 633 MW. Składa się ona z 5 turbin wodnych (2 × 125 MW i 3 × 142 MW). Zbiornik zaporowy został zlokalizowany na obszarach wyludniającego się miasteczka górniczego Kennett. Decyzja o utworzeniu zapory była zatem ściśle związana z wywołaną zmianami ekonomicznymi i kryzysem gospodarczym lat trzydziestych depopulacją okolicznych obszarów. Rezultatem decyzji o utworzeniu zapory stała się przymusowa migracja kilkuset dotychczasowych mieszkańców na inne obszary. Przypisy

Garcia House (Los Angeles)

The Garcia House (also known as The Rainbow House) is a private home in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles, designed by architect John Lautner. Located on Mulholland Drive, it sits on stilts 60 feet above the canyon below. Also known as the "Rainbow House" for its parabolic roof over stained glass windows and a curved ceiling that rises to 30 feet in height, it has been described as "one of the 10 most important residences from the midcentury period in Los Angeles." History The building was originally designed in 1962 for American composer and arranger Russell Garcia. The two-story structure features three bedroom and three bath structure in just over 2,500 square feet of living space. By 2002 it had undergone many changes from its original design and was in need of renovation. In 2002, actor Vincent Gallo sold the house for $1.3 million to Bill Damaschke, a DreamWorks executive, and his partner, business manager John McIlwee. Damaschke and McIlwee then invested another $1 million on an extensive renovation, supervised by the Marmol Radziner design firm. They ultimately also added a fence to obstruct public views from the street into the glass-sided house. In popular culture The exterior of the house is seen briefly in 1966 beach party film, Out of Sight, as the home of character John Stamp. The house was later prominently used as a location for the film Lethal Weapon 2, as well as in a 2011 commercial for Oliver Peoples eyewear featuring singer Devendra Banhart. References
Alhambra High School (Alhambra, California)

Alhambra High School (AHS) is a public high school in Alhambra, California established in 1898. It is a part of the Alhambra Unified School District. The school is located on Second Street, across the street from City Hall and the Police Department, bounded by Second Street, Commonwealth Avenue, Fifth Street, and Main Street. The campus is divided into three parts, by Third and Fourth Streets. Alhambra High School has been accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges—for the first time in 1965 and most recently in 2024, for a fixed term after each evaluation. Present As of January 2015, enrollment at AHS is about 2,700 students, In this ethnically-mixed school district, the high school is one of the three comprehensive high schools. Curriculum offerings encompass Reading for remedial instruction, to Advanced Placement courses in six subjects, including English composition, calculus, environmental science, physics, American government, United States history, world history, art history, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, and Psychology. History Around 1884, Alhambra citizens saw the need for their own school. On October 11, 2006, a small explosive device was found on a sidewalk bordering the north end of campus. Hours later, a second similar device was found in a trash can on the south end of campus. The Los Angeles County sheriff's bomb squad safely removed and disabled both items, and the campus was searched. In early 2007, the school was featured on the third season of Hell's Kitchen. 100 members from the senior class of 2007 were invited to participate. Each chef had to prepare 100 portions of a dish for each of the students. It was one of a select few public high schools in California to be awarded a distinguished Great Schools Rating of 8 out of 10. Music The marching band was selected to march in the 2009 Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade, the first time a band from Alhambra has been in the parade in 40 years. In 2020, they performed again in the Rose Parade, as part of a band including members from Mark Keppel High School and San Gabriel High School. Controversy In April 2005, an article was published by The Moor, the school's biweekly newspaper, titled "Latinos Lag Behind in Academics". It discussed that Hispanic students' test scores have improved, then asked why Asian scores were noticeably higher, postulating that Asian students worked harder in academics than Hispanic students, suggesting the latter were "not pulling their weight". The Los Angeles Times discussed the achievement gap in context, noting the outrage and charges of racism towards the student author and the Latino pride response.

Coast Dairies State Park

Coast Dairies is a state park in Santa Cruz County, California, near the city of Davenport. It is managed as part of Wilder Ranch State Park, which is south of the park. The new public lands protect a seven-mile (11 km) stretch of coastline and about 7,000 acres (2,800 ha) of prime coastal lands. The beaches, which can be challenging to access, are tied together by the California Coastal Trail, which runs along the top of the bluff. The beaches are Sharktooth, Bonny Doon, Yellow Bank, Laguna Creek, and Panther, although many of these beaches also go by other local and historic names. The coastal lands on the ocean side of Highway 1 were donated to California State Parks in 2006, but remain undeveloped. The state park land spans a five-mile (8.0 km) segment of Highway 1 north and south of Davenport. In 2014, the Bureau of Land Management bought a 5,800 acres (2,300 ha) tract of land on the inland side of the highway adjacent to the coastal parcels. Some of the land east of the highway will continue to be used for farming, but most became the Cotoni-Coast Dairies unit of California Coastal National Monument.

Parc d'État Coast Dairies

Coast Dairies est un parc d'État et un terrain public du Bureau of Land Management créé en 2014. Il est situé dans le comté de Santa Cruz, en Californie, près de la ville de Davenport . Le Wilder Ranch State Park est au sud du parc. Les nouvelles terres publiques protègent 11 km de littoral et environ 28 km2 de terres côtières de premier ordre . Les plages, qui peuvent être difficiles d'accès, sont reliées par le California Coastal Trail qui longe le haut des terres. Les plages sont Sharktooth, Bonny Doon, Yellow Bank, Laguna Creek et Panther, bien que beaucoup de ces plages portent également d'autres noms locaux et historiques . Histoire Il a été acheté par le Trust for Public Land en 1998, avec 44 millions de dollars de la Fondation David et Lucile Packard, et est ainsi préservé du développement. Des groupes de conservation ont proposé de l'inclure dans un nouveau monument national proposé. La proposition a reçu le soutien du Congrès mais une certaine opposition locale . Une proposition actuelle (2016) de la sénatrice Barbara Boxer ajouterait ces terres appartenant au BLM au California Coastal National Monument . Les terres côtières du côté de l'océan de la Route 1 ont été données aux parcs d'État de Californie en 2006, mais restent non développées. En 2014, le Bureau of Land Management a acheté 23 km2 de terres du côté intérieur de la route adjacente aux parcelles côtières. Une partie des terres à l'est de l'autoroute continuera à être utilisée pour l'agriculture, mais la plupart deviendront des terres publiques .
