High Street Bridge

The High Street Bridge is a double-leaf bascule drawbridge spanning 296 feet of the Oakland Estuary in the San Francisco Bay Area, California, United States. It links the cities of Oakland and Alameda. The bridge is opened approximately 1,400 times annually and carries an average of 26,000 vehicles per year. It was built when the Oakland Estuary was trenched, converting Alameda from a peninsula to an island. The High Street Bridge is one of the four bridges and two tunnels that allow access to Alameda. History The estuary was originally spanned by an iron swing bridge, completed in 1894 by the Harrison Bridge Company for $24,747. In May 1901, a fire destroyed the swing span and part of the approaches, which were rebuilt the following year. Three bridges were built by the federal government in 1901 at High Street (road), Park Street (road), and Fruitvale Avenue (combined road and rail) in exchange for permission and rights-of-way to dredge the channel between San Antonio Creek and San Leandro Bay. After the three bridges were completed, they were left closed to allow road and rail traffic to pass, but never opened for marine traffic. The northern approach to the High Street Bridge was destroyed by a fire in May 1909, which also damaged the bridge; repairs were performed late in 1909. After pressure was applied by Senator George Clement Perkins and Congressman Joseph R. Knowland, the federal government turned the bridges over to Alameda County in 1910, conditioned on the county assuming responsibility for maintenance, staffing, and operation. The present bridge was designed by the County of Alameda Surveyors Office and constructed under the Federal WPA Program in 1939 at a cost of $750,000. It opened in December 1939. The bascule bridge was modernized in 1981 and 1996. The 1981 project included upgrades to electrical systems and motors; the 1996 project completely repainted the bridge, removing over 25,000 pounds (11,000 kg) of lead-based paint. Design The bridge normally opens both leaves to 45°, which accommodates most marine traffic; the maximum opening for each leaf is 76°. It is designed to safely operate in wind speeds of up to 30 miles per hour (48 km/h). Each leaf may be operated independently, allowing marine traffic to pass in case one leaf is inoperable. Each leaf has a 75-horsepower (56 kW) main motor using electricity from Alameda Municipal Power, and a 5-horsepower (3.7 kW) emergency motor for each leaf is powered from Pacific Gas and Electric; using counterweights, full operation is possible using emergency power.

High Tech High North County

High Tech High North County, also known as HTHNC, is a charter school located in San Marcos, California. It is a part of the High Tech High organization. Opening in 2007, with its initial class consisting of 150 freshmen, the school has since expanded to more than 550 students. The sophomore, junior, and senior classes were added when the original freshmen moved up. It is one of only two High Tech High schools to be built from the ground up with the other being High Tech High Chula Vista. The school follows the same type of personalized, college preparatory, project-based learning characterized at other High Tech High schools. Curriculum All HTH students pursue a rigorous curriculum that provides the foundation for entry and success at the University of California and elsewhere, as well as success in the world of work. Schools articulate common expectations for learning that value 21st century skills, the integration of hands and minds, and the merging of academic disciplines. Assessment is performance-based: all students develop projects, solve problems, and present findings to community panels. All students are required to complete an academic internship, a substantial senior project, and a personal digital portfolio. Internship All High Tech High juniors are required to complete an internship in a local organization. The internship consists of an orientation followed by a five-week, full-time immersion at the work site, concluding with the intern's presentation of learning. Students receive credit for successfully completing their internship and related course work. Digital Portfolios HTHNC students are required to develop a digital portfolio (DP) that provides a comprehensive look at their work, learning and projects. Students update their digital portfolios each semester, documenting their learning over time. In addition to student digital portfolios, teachers maintain their own DPs that have current assignments, project overviews and class exhibitions of projects. Intersession Intersession takes place once a year, with its purpose being to immerse students out in the community; whether locally, nationally, or internationally. Intersession programs can range from community service, to homework study, to leisurely trips to international destinations such as Costa Rica, New Zealand, or Brazil. Many of the programs within intersession are not limited to just a single grade or class; and the combination of students of different grades enables them to bond with other students, and teachers. Academic Seminar Since the High Tech High Organization does not require physical education to be taken by students, an elective program is offered in substitution. Academic Seminar is a graded course taking place every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. It can range from a multimedia class to robotics, or a UC-approved course like Model United Nations. Teachers create and run each Academic Seminar. See also Education in the United States References External links Official website
Highland Hospital (Oakland, California)

Highland Hospital is a public hospital in Alameda County, Oakland, California. It is operated by the Alameda Health System. It is the primary trauma center and a county hospital in Alameda County. It has been an adult Level I trauma center since August 3, 2017 and an adult Level II trauma center since 1985 and operates the most trafficked emergency department in the county. Highland Hospital is affiliated with the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and is also home to the UCSF East Bay Surgery Program. Their Medical and Surgical residency programs are among the most competitive and highly sought after in the nation. In October 2020, the staff at Highland went on strike to improve safety for patients. The management had been subcontracting jobs to the private sector in order to remove benefits. Wait times in emergency room had been six to eight hours. The strike succeeded in stimulating Alameda County to replace the executive board, and the executive board began replacing the profit-oriented management with managers that had a greater appreciation for patient care. History The Waiting Room Highland Hospital was the location of The Waiting Room, a 2012 documentary film and social media project directed by Peter Nicks composed of vignettes of events, patients, doctors, and staff at Highland, compressed as if the events occurred over one day.

Griffith Observatory

Griffith Observatory är ett observatorium i Los Angeles, Kalifornien. Det är beläget i den södra delen av Griffith Park. Från dess utsiktsplats syns Los Angeles-slätten, Hollywoodskylten, liksom stadens centrum i sydöst, Hollywood i söder, samt Stilla havet i sydväst. Anläggningen är en populär turistattraktion och har omfattande utställningar om vetenskap och om rymden.

Historik I december 1896 donerade Griffith ett område på drygt 12 km² runt observatoriet till Los Angeles stad. I sitt testamente skänkte han pengar för byggnation av ett observatorium, en utställningslokal och ett planetarium på platsen. Griffiths intention var att göra astronomi tillgängligt för allmänheten, i motsats till den förekommande uppfattningen att observatorier skulle uppföras på avlägsna platser avsedda för forskare. Under andra världskriget användes planetariet för att träna piloter i navigering. Det användes i samma syfte på 1960-talet för att förbereda Apolloprogrammets astronauter inför de första resorna till månen. Observatoriet stängdes 2002 för renovering och öppnade 2006 med utökade utställningsgsytor. En skogsbrand spred sig i närheten av anläggningen i maj 2007. I maj 2008 erbjöd observatoriet besökarna livesändningar av rymdsonden Phoenix landning på Mars. I populärkulturen Griffith Observatory förekommer i flera filmer och tv-serier. Bland annat kan det ses i Ung rebell från 1955 med James Dean, Terminator, Rocketeer och Love & Mercy. Observatoriet är också platsen för avsnitt av exempelvis MacGyver och Mannen från U.N.C.L.E.. Det är även föremålet för olika låtar och dyker upp i flera datorspel, bland annat Grand Theft Auto V.
