Yosemite Falls is a waterfall in Yosemite National Park, in California.
It is the tallest measured waterfall in the United States.
It is about  tall, with three drops of:
plunge
Yosemite Falls flows in the spring, but may stop flowing by summer and fall, depending on how much rain falls in the area.
The Falls are located in an area of the park called Yosemite Valley, a huge valley that is famous for its beauty and its unusual box shape.
The falls is the 7th tallest in the world.
Though some books and websites list Colonial Creek Falls as being higher, this waterfall has not been accurately measured and it does not have a plunge like Yosemite Falls does.
It is probably the second most famous waterfall in America, after Niagara Falls in New York.
The Lena River is a river in Siberia, flowing into the Arctic Ocean.
With a length of , it is the tenth longest river in the world.
With a watershed size of , it has the nineth largest watershed.
The Lena begins in the Baikal Mountains, a mountain range in central Siberia, at a point  west of Lake Baikal.
The Lena flows northeast.
Some of its major tributaries are the Kirenga, Vitim, Oylokma, Aldan, and Vilyuy rivers.
It empties into the Laptev Sea, a branch of the Arctic Ocean.
The name "Lena" comes from the word, Elyu-Ene, meaning "The Large River".
The word comes from the Evenks, a people of Northern Asia.
Teton Dam was a dam on the Teton River in Idaho, in the  USA.
When it was built, it was  long and  tall, making it one of the largest dams in the United States.
It is most known for collapsing during spring runoff on June 5, 1976 a few months after it was completed.
The resulting flood destroyed 10,000 acres of land and five cities.
The dam was never rebuilt.
Although the U.S. Government paid $100 million to build the dam, it had to pay $300 million more dollars to pay for flood damages.
Disasters in the 1970s
The Johnstown Flood, otherwise known as the Great Flood of 1889, was a major flood that happened in a city called Johnstown, Pennsylvania, in the eastern United States.
It was on a river called the Little Conemaugh River.
It was caused by the collapse of a dam called the South Fork Dam,  upstream, after several days of heavy rain.
The date it happened was May 31, 1889.
2,209 people were killed by the 20 million tons of water that flooded the town.
The flood also resulted in $17 million in damages.

is an anime series from Walt Disney Pictures.
It is an adapted version of the animated movie Lilo & Stitch and the spin-offs that came after it, mainly Lilo & Stitch: The Series.
It takes place in the future after the movie and started in Japan in October 2008.
The show has a Japanese girl named Yuna in place of Lilo, and is set on a fictional island off the shore of Okinawa instead of Hawaii.
The show ran from 2008 to 2011 in Japan for three seasons.
Another two TV specials set after the end of the third season were released in 2012 and 2015.
An English dub first debuted in Australia in 2009, but it featured an entirely different American voice cast from the original movies and TV series.
This dub would not air in the United States until October 2011 on Disney's cable TV network Disney XD, a few months after the Japanese original ended.
Even then, it ran for less than a week in the Lilo & Stitch franchise's home country and was swiftly taken off the air after only five episodes.

Predestination is a central belief in Calvinism.
Calvinists believe that God picked those who he will save and bring with him to heaven before the world was created.
They also believe that people who are not saved by  God will go to hell.
John Calvin thought people who were saved could never lose their salvation and the "elected" (those God saved) would know they were saved because of their actions.

Boohbah is a show that is created by Ragdoll Productions and premiered in 2003.
It is designed to the 3-6 age group.
One of the worst nuclear accidents to date was the Chernobyl disaster which occurred in 1986 in Ukraine.
That accident killed 30 people directly, as well as damaging approximately $7 billion of property.
A study published in 2005 estimates that there will eventually be up to 4,000 additional cancer deaths related to the accident among those exposed to significant radiation levels.
Radioactive fallout from the accident was concentrated in areas of Belarus, Ukraine and Russia.
Approximately 350,000 people were forcibly resettled away from these areas soon after the accident.
Some of the most serious nuclear and radiation accidents by death toll in the world have involved nuclear submarine mishaps.
To-date, all of these were units of the former Soviet Union.
Normal accidents
Normal Accidents is a 1984 book by Yale sociologist Charles Perrow, which provides a detailed analysis of complex systems from a social sciences perspective.
It was the first to characterize complex technological systems such as nuclear power plants according to their riskiness.
Perrow says that multiple and unexpected failures are built into society's complex and tightly-coupled systems.
Such accidents cannot be designed around.
The inspiration for Perrow's books was the 1979 Three Mile Island accident, where a nuclear accident resulted from an unanticipated interaction of multiple failures in a complex system.
The event was an example of a normal accident because it was "unexpected, incomprehensible, uncontrollable and unavoidable".
Perrow's argument rests on three principles.
Firstly, people make mistakes, even at nuclear plants.
Secondly, big accidents almost always escalate from very small beginnings.
Thirdly, many failures are those of organizations more than technology.
Each of these principles is still relevant today.
Nuclear submarines
Reactor accidents that resulted in core damage and release of radioactivity from nuclear-powered submarines include:
K-8, 1960, loss-of-coolant accident; substantial radioactivity released.
K-14, 1961, reactor compartment replaced due to unspecified "breakdown of reactor protection systems."
K-19, 1961, loss-of-coolant accident resulting in 8 deaths and more than 30 other people being over-exposed to radiation.
The events on board the submarine are dramatized by the film K-19: The Widowmaker.
K-11, 1965, both reactors damaged during refueling while lifting the reactor vessel heads; reactor compartments scuttled off the east coast of Novaya Zemlya in the Kara Sea in 1966.
K-27, 1968, experienced reactor core damage to one of its reactors, resulting in 9 fatalities and 83 other injuries; scuttled in the Kara Sea in 1982.
K-140, 1968, reactor damaged following an uncontrolled, automatic increase in power during shipyard work.
K-429, 1970, an uncontrolled start up of the ship's reactor led to a fire and the release of radioactivity
K-116, 1970, loss-of-coolant accident in the port reactor; substantial radioactivity released.

The eastern grey kangaroo (Macropus giganteus) is a marsupial that lives in south and east Australia, including Tasmania.
It is also called the great grey kangaroo and the forester kangaroo.
An eastern grey male weighs about 66 kg (145 lb) and is almost 2 m (7 ft) tall.
Its scientific name, Macropus giganteus means gigantic (huge) large-foot, and the eastern grey is the second-biggest marsupial on earth.
The red kangaroo is the largest.
Indigenous Australian names for the eastern grey include iyirrbir and kucha.
The eastern grey kangaroo was first seen by Europeans when Captain James Cook was fixing his ship near Cooktown, Queensland.
He took a sample of this unknown aminal back to England to be examined.
The eastern grey is also the kangaroo on the Australian Coat of Arms.
Captain John Hunter, later Governor of New South Wales painted a watercolour in 1788, of the eastern grey which was published in his book, "Birds and Flowers of New South Wales, painted on the spot in 1788, 1789 and 1790".
This painting can be seen online here.
The eastern grey has a soft grey, or sometimes brown fur.
The fur on the chest and stomach is more pale, sometimes white.
They have a small head and large ears.
Their tails are about  long.
The male is much larger than the female.
They have long eyelashes which protect their eyes from the sun.
They live for around 15–20 years.
Because they are marsupials, the female carries its young in special pouch.
Babies are born about five weeks after mating.
The tiny baby which is only about 15 millimetres long, and weighs less than one gram, crawls up into the pouch.
Inside the pouch there are four nipples.
The baby kangaroo, called a joey, will only use one of the nipples.
It lives in the pouch for about eight months.
It still drinks milk from its mother until about 18 months of age.
The mother is able to have another joey in the pouch, which feeds from a different nipple.
The mother provides a different mix of milk to each nipple.
A joey can remain with its mother until it becomes an adult, at about four years old.
Where it lives
The eastern grey is the species most commonly seen in Australia.
It lives near the big cities of the south and east coast.
It likes open grassland with areas of bush for daytime shelter.
Like all kangaroos, it is mainly a nocturnal animal, and it is crepuscular, which means it is active early in the morning, and early in the evening.
They live in large groups of up to 100 kangaroos, called "mobs'.
The eastern grey is a herbivore, which means it grass and small shrubs.
It mainly eats during early morning and evening.
They do not need to drink water as they can get enough moisture from the plants that they eat.
The eastern grey kangaroo can travel very fast over land.
They can jump up to  in a single leap.
The fastest recorded speed of any kangaroo was , set by a large female eastern grey kangaroo.
Kangaroos use less energy if they travel faster.
When they go slowly, they walk on all four legs, and use their tail as well.
It is often said that kangaroo numbers have increased since the Europen settlement of Australia.
There are more areas of grassland and less forest, less dingos, and more man-made watering holes.
The current population of the species is about two million.
Because of this the eastern grey has been killed in some parts of Australia to stop them from eating all the grass and then dying from starvation.

"Home on the Range" is a classic western folk song.
It is sometimes called the "unofficial anthem" of the American West.
The lyrics were first written by Dr. Brewster M. Higley of Smith County, Kansas.
He wrote them in a poem called "My Western Home" in 1872.
In 1947, it became the state song of the U.S. state of Kansas.
In 2010, members of the Western Writers of America chose it as one of the Top 100 western songs of all time.
In 1871, Higley moved from Indiana to Smith County, Kansas.
He did this because of the Homestead Act.
He was inspired by his new environment that he decided to create a poem to praise the prairie.
The lyrics to "Home on the Range" were first published as a poem in the Smith County Pioneer in 1872 under the title "My Western Home".
That home is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Home on the Range Cabin.
The music was later added by Daniel E. Kelley (1808–1905), a carpenter and friend of Higley.
The song was eventually used by ranchers, cowboys, and other western settlers.
It spread across the United States in different forms.
The song has gone by a few different names, the most common being "Home on the Range" and "Western Home".
It was officially chosen as the state song of Kansas on June 30, 1947.
It is often thought of as the unofficial anthem of the American West.
The most popular version of the song was the version recorded by Bing Crosby on September 27, 1933, with Lennie Hayton and his orchestra for Brunswick Records.
It appeared in the various charts of that time.
"Home on the Range" became popular in the 1930s.
In fact, former president Franklin Delano Roosevelt said "Home on the Range" was his favorite song.

The Football League play-offs are a series of football (soccer) matches to decide who is promoted in the English football leagues.
Cone cells or simply cones are special photoreceptor cells in the retina.
They react to light and work best in relatively bright light.
Cone cells are less sensitive to light than rod cells.
Rod cells are more sensitive, but cannot tell colors apart.
Human eyes usually have three different types of cone cells.
That allows the brain to tell colors apart.
Their reaction to stimuli is faster than that of the rod cells.
For this reason, they can perceive finer details, and more rapid changes in images.
The three kinds of human cones have different photopsins.
Each photopsin has a different response curve to light, and so responds to color in different ways.
This gives trichromatic vision.
Being color blind means a lack of one or two types of cone cells.
Roberta Joan Anderson (born November 7, 1943 in Fort Macleod, Alberta, Canada), better known as Joni Mitchell, is a Canadian songwriter, musician and artist.
Her usual musical instrument is a guitar.
Her songs include "Big Yellow Taxi", "Woodstock" (about the 1969 Woodstock Festival), "Free Man In Paris", "Help Me" and "Both Sides Now".
Her name Mitchell comes from her first marriage (to Chuck Mitchell).
She first began singing folk music while she attended art school, to earn spending money.
In time, her songs and style got her noticed, and she became a professional musician.
She signed a recording contract, and her first album appeared in 1968. "
Both Sides Now" also boosted the musical career of Judy Collins, another folksinger, whose cover version became a popular hit.
She also performs in the contralto range.
Mitchell had romantic relationships with Stephen Stills and David Crosby, both of the band Crosby, Stills & Nash.
She also did artwork for one of their album covers.
She was scheduled to appear at the Woodstock Festival, as CSN was (joined by Neil Young), but she had to cancel.
Her song "Woodstock" still became a hit for CSN, and summed up for many people the meaning of the festival.
During the 1970s, Mitchell changed from folk music to jazz, and she lost some of her fans.
Many other people enjoyed her later music, though, including an album she made with Charles Mingus, a legendary jazz musician.
The album was Mingus's last project before his death.
Not all of Mitchell's records have been hits, and she resisted compiling a "best-ofs" or "greatest hits" album for many years, feeling that if she did so, her career would be "over".
She did finally release a pair of recordings, Hits (which contained her biggest hit records) and Misses (which included some of her favorite songs, that were not hits).
She continues to perform, and to paint pictures.
Her paintings are displayed in galleries around the world.
Before she became famous, Mitchell gave up a newborn daughter for adoption in Canada.
During the 1990s, the two got back in contact, and now have a good relationship.
Though she first became famous during the 1960s, Mitchell does not  that era.
She reminds listeners of the negative parts of it, and encourages them to make the present better.
In March 2015, Mitchell was found unconscious in her Los Angeles home.
She regained consciousness in an ambulance on her way to hospital, but was taken to intensive care for tests.
She had a brain aneurysm.
She was diagnosed with a throat tumor later the next day.

An ocean current is a continuous movement of ocean water from one place to another.
Ocean currents are created by wind, water temperature, salt content, and the gravity of the moon.
The current's direction and speed depend on the shoreline and the ocean floor.
They can flow for thousands of miles and are found in all the major oceans of the world.
One major example of an ocean current is the Gulf Stream in the Atlantic Ocean.
Currents on the surface often depend on wind.
They travel clockwise in the northern hemisphere.
They travel counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere.
They are found up to  below the surface of the ocean.
Deeper currents depend on water pressure, temperature, and salt content.

Bruno Walter (pronounce: "Valter"), (born Berlin, 15 September 1876; died Beverly Hills, California, 17 February 1962) was a German-born conductor, pianist and composer.
He was one of the greatest conductors of his time.
He grew up in Germany, but later became an Austrian and, when the Nazis came to power, he moved to several other countries, finally settling in the United States where he became an American citizen.
His name was originally Bruno Schlesinger but from 1896 he was usually known as Bruno Walter.
Walter became his official surname in 1911 when he became an Austrian citizen.
Bruno was born into a Jewish family in Berlin.
He had his early musical education at the Stern Conservatory when he was eight, and played the piano in public when he was nine.
He went to concerts which were conducted by the great Hans von Bülow.
Two years later, in 1891, he heard Wagner operas in Bayreuth.
These experiences made him want to be a conductor.
Bruno started his conducting career at the Cologne Opera in 1894.
Later that year he went to the Hamburg Opera to work as a chorus director.
There he met and worked with Gustav Mahler, from whom he learned a lot.
Mahler found him a job conducting at the opera house in Breslau.
This is when he changed his name from Schlesinger (meaning: “someone from Silesia”) to “Walter”.
He then went to Riga, returning to Berlin in 1900 where he conducted at the Staatsoper Unter den Linden where he worked with famous people such as Richard Strauss and Karl Muck.
In 1901 Mahler invited Walter to be his assistant at the Court Opera in Vienna.
At his first performance he conducted Verdi's Aida.
He was becoming very famous all over Europe.
He performed in Prague and in London where in 1910 he conducted Tristan und Isolde and Ethel Smyth's The Wreckers at Covent Garden.
A few months after Mahler's death in 1911, Walter led the first performance of Das Lied von der Erde in Munich, as well as Mahler's Symphony No.
9 in Vienna the next year.
Years of fame in Europe
Walter became an Austrian citizen in 1911, but two years later he went to Germany to become the Royal Bavarian Music Director in Munich.
The next year Walter conducted his first concert in Moscow.
He continued to conduct during First World War, conducting operas by composers including Erich Korngold and Hans Pfitzner.
Among his friends in Munich was Eugenio Pacelli who later became Pope Pius XII.
Walter left Munich in 1922 and went to New York the next year.
He conducted the New York Symphony Orchestra in Carnegie Hall.
He later conducted in Detroit, Minnesota and Boston.
In the late 1920s, the Nazi leader Adolf Hitler often complained that conductors at the Berlin opera were Jews.
He often talked about Walter, adding that his real name was “Schlesinger”.
When the Nazis came to power in 1933 Walter left Austria.
He often conducted the Concertgebouw Orchestra and was invited to conduct concerts in New York with the New York Philharmonic.
When the Nazi’s took power in Austria (the Anschluss) Walter was conducting in Paris.
France offered Walter French citizenship.
His daughter was in Vienna.
She was arrested by the Nazis, but Walter managed to persuade them to free her.
Life in United States
On 1 November 1939, he sailed to the United States where he lived for the rest of his life.
His home was in Beverly Hills, California.
Many people who lived there had fled from Europe because of the Nazis.
They became his friends.
They included the German writer Thomas Mann.
He worked with many famous American orchestras, including the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the NBC Symphony Orchestra, the New York Philharmonic and the Philadelphia Orchestra.
After the war he often came back to Europe.
He performed at the Edinburgh Festival and in Salzburg, Vienna and Munich.
In his later life he made many stereo recordings with the Columbia Symphony Orchestra.
He made his last live concert appearance on 4 December 1960 with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and pianist Van Cliburn.
His last recording was a series of Mozart overtures with the Columbia Symphony Orchestra at the end of March in 1961.
Bruno Walter died of a heart attack in his Beverly Hills home in 1962.
Between 1923 and 1961 Walter made hundreds of recordings.
The earlier recordings, made at a time when his conducting was at its best, are often rather poor recordings.
When he made his last recordings, after stereo records had been invented, he was already quite ill.
In his early years he gave some of the first performances of Mahler’s music.
He conducted the first performance of Das Lied von der Erde with the Vienna Philharmonic.
In 1936 he made the first recording of the same work with the same orchestra which still had the same leader: Arnold Rosé who was Mahler’s brother-in-law.
This recording was made just before the Nazi Anschluss which forced Walter and Rosé into exile.
Many years later, in 1952, Walter and the Vienna Philharmonic once again made a famous recording of Das Lied von der Erde with the singers Kathleen Ferrier and Julius Patzak.
He also recorded Mahler’s Ninth Symphony.
Since Walter had worked closely with Mahler, and Mahler had never conducted either of these two great works of his, we can imagine that Walter’s recordings show us how Mahler might have wanted the music to be played.
Walter made many recordings of other great Germanic composers, such as Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Schubert, Johannes Brahms, Johann Strauss II.,
and Anton Bruckner.
Walter was known as a kind, modest man, quite unlike some other conductors of the time who behaved like dictators.
He was an excellent pianist and sometimes accompanied singers such as Kathleen Ferrier at recitals.
He also composed several works.
He wrote an autobiography called “Theme and Variations”.
