He promoted federal aid to education, and sought to establish a minimum wage of 65 cents in Aiken was an isolationist in but supported the Truman Doctrine in and the Marshall Plan in In the s and s, he steered a middle course on the Vietnam war, opposing Johnson's escalati A view of Canyon Dam from the south.

The water impounded by the dam forms Canyon Lake. The dam is 6, feet 2, m long, across a narrow section of the Guadalupe River valley.

The top of the dam is feet m above sea level, or feet 68 m above the riverbed. A spillway, located south of the dam, protects the dam by releasing water when the lake level rises to feet m above sea level. The dam is located near the Balcones Escarpment. The rocky canyons to the west of the escarpment can carry more water than the riverbeds of the plains to the east; this has caused problems with flash flooding in cities and towns east of the escarpment.

History After major floods on the Guadalupe River in and , state and community leaders pressured the federal government to help control floo The peaks reach their maximum in the Venetian Lagoon, where they cause partial flooding of Venice and Chioggia; flooding also occurs elsewhere around the northern Adriatic, for instance at Grado and Trieste, but much less often and to a lesser degree. The phenomenon occurs mainly between autumn and spring, when the astronomical tides are reinforced by the prevailing seasonal winds that hamper the usual reflux. The main winds involved are the sirocco, which blows northbound along the Adriatic Sea, and the bora, which has a specific local effect due to the shape and location of the Venetian lagoon.

Causes A satellite image of the Adriatic Sea, highlighting the long and narrow rectangular shape which is the source of an oscillating water motion called seiche along the minor axis. At the time of the British withdrawal from India, Maharaja Hari Singh, the ruler of the state, preferred to become independent and remain neutral between the successor dominions of India and Pakistan.

On 26 October , the Maharaja signed the Instrument of Accession joining the Dominion of India in return for military aid.

Its construction in the mids was the first major project for the Tennessee Valley Authority, which had been created in to bring economic development to the region and control the rampant flooding that had long plagued the Tennessee Valley. The dam was named in honor of Nebraska Senator George Norris — , a longtime supporter of government-owned power in general, and supporter of TVA in particular. Norris Dam is a straight concrete gravity-type dam. The dam is feet m long and feet 81 m high. The dam has a maximum generating capacity of , kilowatts.

History Dozens of mills were built along the Mill River in the early to mid 19th century to take advantage of the available waterpower. To maintain sufficient summer water flow four reservoirs were built in the higher tributaries of the river. This flood was widely covered in contemporaneous newspapers across the United States. The Great Flood of In the two weeks tha Constructed between and , Grand Coulee originally had only two powerhouses.

The third powerhouse, completed in to increase energy production, makes Grand Coulee the largest power station in the United States by nameplate-capacity at 6, MW.

For example, while the dam may generate at nameplate-capacity in the spring, decreased river flow in the fall means less power can be generated the rest of the year, resulting in a lower capacity factor. The proposal to build the dam was the focus of a bitter debate during the s between two groups. One group wanted to irrigate the ancient Grand Coulee with a gravity canal while the other p The Great Flood of occurred between March 23 and March 26, after major rivers in the central and eastern United States flooded from runoff and several days of heavy rain.

Related deaths and damage in the United States were widespread and extensive. While the exact number is not certain, flood-related deaths in Ohio, Indiana, and eleven other states are estimated at approximately The official death toll range for Ohio falls between and Flood-related death estimates in Indiana range from to More than a quarter million people were left homeless.

The death toll from the flood of places it second to the Johnstown Flood of as one of the deadliest floods in the United States. The flood remains Ohio's largest weather disaster.

In the Midwest damage estimates exceeded a third of a billion dollars. Further south, along the Mississippi River, d He died in August in Herbsdorf, Upper Bavaria. He did his Abitur there. The Spanish Republic Spanish: The Republic was proclaimed on 14 April , after the deposition of Alfonso XIII, and it lost the Spanish Civil War on 1 April to the rebel faction, that would establish a military dictatorship under the rule of Francisco Franco. After the proclamation of the Republic, a provisional government was established until December , when the Constitution was approved a Constitutional Republic was formally established.

They have generally maintained a varying degree of influence over many of the smaller mob families outside New York, including ties with the Philadelphia, Patriarca, and Buffalo crime families. The current "family" was founded by Charles "Lucky" Luciano, and was known as the "Luciano crime family" from to , when it was renamed after boss Vito Genovese.

Originally in control of the waterfront on the West Side of Manhattan and the Fulton Fish Market, the family was run for years by "the Oddfather", Vincent "the Chin" Gigante, who feigned insanity by shuffling unshaven through New York's Greenwich Village wearing a tattered bath robe and muttering to himself incoherently to avoid prosecution.

The project is an integrated system consisting of rows of mobile gates installed at the Lido, Malamocco, and Chioggia inlets that are able to isolate the Venetian Lagoon temporarily from the Adriatic Sea during acqua alta high tides. Together with other measures, such as coastal reinforcement, the raising of quaysides, and the paving and improvement of the lagoon, MOSE is designed to protect Venice and the lagoon from tides of up to 3 metres 9.

The Consorzio Venezia Nuova[note 1] is responsible for the work on behalf of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport It was constructed between and during the Great Depression and was dedicated on September 30, , by President Franklin D. Its construction was the result of a massive effort involving thousands of workers, and cost over one hundred lives. Originally known as Boulder Dam from , it was officially renamed Hoover Dam, for President Herbert Hoover, by a joint resolution of Congress in Since about , the Black Canyon and nearby Boulder Canyon had been investigated for their potential to support a dam that would control floods, provide irrigation water and produce hydroelectric power.

In , Congress authorized the project. The winning bid to build the dam was submitted by a consortium called Six Companies, Inc. Such a large concrete structure had never been built before, and some o TVA Towers, TVA's headquarters in downtown Knoxville, overlooking the Tennessee River The Tennessee Valley Authority TVA is a federally owned corporation in the United States created by congressional charter on May 18, , to provide navigation, flood control, electricity generation, fertilizer manufacturing, and economic development to the Tennessee Valley, a region particularly affected by the Great Depression.

The enterprise was a result of the efforts of Senator George W. TVA was envisioned not only as a provider, but also as a regional economic development agency that would use federal experts and electricity to more quickly modernize the region's economy and society. It was the first large regional planning agency of the federal government and remains the largest. Under the leadership of David Lilienthal "Mr. Raystown Lake is a reservoir in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania.

It is the largest lake that is entirely within Pennsylvania. The original lake was built by the Simpson family of Huntingdon as a hydroelectric project. The lake was created primarily to control floods, provide electricity, and support recreational activities. There are many campsites on the lake, as well as several boat launches, restaurants, and trails. The fireworks at the resort The flood was caused by two Pacific storms that swept across the Los Angeles Basin in February-March and generated almost one year's worth of precipitation in just a few days.

Between — people were killed by the flooding. Flood control structures spared parts of Los Angeles County from destruction, while Orange and Riverside Counties experienced more damage. Army Corps of Engineers and other agencies began to channelize local streams in concrete, and Its storage reservoir is known as Tygart Lake.

Since the question was not about computer code, I removed that irrelevant part of your answer. It looks like you are now fudging on the claim you made earlier that there is evidence for common design in living things. In other words your idea is unable to make predictions. That is confirmation that it has no power to explain anything. In DNA if certain parts of it are removed or crossed this also could mean that to who ever belongs the DNA may be handicapped in a way that it can not survive,no?

A computer executes code. It can be a PC, tablet, smartphone, or even punch card machine. It comes from the word compute. Nature executes code too. If it didn't, then we wouldn't bother with deciphering the DNA of species for example, because the code would be meaningless. When we look at code in nature, it is beyond anything that the combined intelligence of man has come up with. And you expect me to believe that something with the IQ of less than a caterpillar produced this incredible code that makes all our coding prowess not even match the DNA of one person's big toe.

This is why it is foolish to deny God. The evidence of an intelligence beyond anything we can imagine is staring you in the face. But you choose with your own will to be ignorant. I can't change that, only you can. You are the master of your own destiny. I can only give you helpful advice at most. Five out of every six fertilised human eggs fail to implant mostly because they are genetically non-viable.

We decipher DNA code and analyse it in the way a computer would. But there is no analogy in the computing world for the chemical effects that proteins have, the products made when ribosomes interptet that code. Your analogy has always been a false one.

All you are doing is using the word code in both cases. We know that one of those codes is written by programmers, but that does not imply that DNA code is programmed, and we actually know how it came to be like it is. That theory is based on Darwin and demonstrated to be true by comparing that code between species, looking for differences. If you can give an alternative explanation for the patterns of differences in the code then you might have something relevant to say. What actually stares you in the face is that every system down to the protein components of cell walls have history in ancestor species, often doing an entirely different job but coopted to a new, helpful function in a descendent species.

But if you have unambiguous evidence which contradicts this, then please tell us what it is. Cozy fables about computers is not going to cut it. Stu, could you provide another person who shares your view, but also happens to be a worthy opponent. Someone who actually gets to the bottom of what caused everything to happen. If someone cannot give an explanation as to how nothing can do something, or something with an IQ less than a pair of jandals can produce a universe, then such a person's condemnation of the existence of God is not only futile, but is foolish.

And let's face it, debating with a person who allows foolishness in their argument is not a worthy opponent on the subject. Debating with a clueless person who doesn't bother to think deeply on a subject is a poor debate because logic and deduction is thrown out the window. A worthy opponent would make it time well spent and not just Atheistic platitude with name calling or stone throwing.
