Experimental water release to continue Lake Mead’s improvement
Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 16:14:47 GMT
A large release of water from Lake Powell began Monday morning, sending water on a two-day journey through the Grand Canyon - where it will help restore sandbars and beaches while moving sediment downriver - to Nevada's Lake Mead.Monday's water release from the Glen Canyon Dam is known as a High Flow Experiment (HFE) by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. The National Park Service (NPS) is working with Reclamation to ensure people using the Colorado River in the canyons know a surge of water is on the way.The last time Reclamation conducted an HFE was in November 2018 and has been doing them sporadically since 1996. Lake Powell, much like Lake Mead, has seen its water level rise and subside over the years, but the last time it was full was the summer of 1983. That summer, Reclamation released more than 100,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) to lower the reservoir and help the downriver canyons. Lake Mead and Lake Powell are swelling. Here’s what that means for the water supply Durin...Presale Codes for Jodeci, SWV and Dru Hill Summer Block Party 2023 Tour

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 16:14:47 GMT
In its 64 years, the Saratoga Rotary Art Show has evolved to reflect the changing Santa Clara Valley. What has remained the same is the sense of community, making the event what some call “The Art Show with a Heart.”This year’s show is set for Saturday and Sunday, May 6-7, at West Valley College.The art show began in 1959, when then-Saratoga Rotary Club president and Village paint store owner Frank Davis, organized the event as a community service project. Twenty local artists exhibited their work in the Buy and Save parking lot that year. Display panels were borrowed from the Santa Clara County Fair Association. As club historian and Saratoga architect Warren Heid reported, “The day was clear, the turnout gratifying.”The net for that first show was a little less than $100. Since then, proceeds from the show have returned $2 million to local and international charities and nonprofits. Yearly net proceeds have grown to more than $100,000.The number of participating artists grew from ...Mattel introduces first Barbie doll representing a person with Down syndrome

Jobs. News. Art. Democracy. Equality. Education. Privacy. Truth. Your bank account. All will be impacted by Silicon Valley’s latest creation: “generative” artificial intelligence.With new chatbots and AI software that generates text, images and sound, technology companies have smashed open Pandora’s Box, experts say, unleashing a powerful tool with the capacity to profoundly change virtually all aspects of life — and putting it in the hands of every one of us, builders and destroyers alike.Silicon Valley’s tech industry, famed for its move-fast-and-break-things ethos, has embarked on an arms race to monetize the transformative and potentially destructive technology. Many of those in the midst of the surge are worried about the dangers — expected and unexpected — that await.A generative AI market didn’t exist just a few months ago. Then late last year, San Francisco’s OpenAI released a stunning iteration of its ChatGPT bot, which has advanced...Why electric vehicles are better than hybrids at fighting climate change: Roadshow

Q: I don’t understand the push for electric cars instead of hybrids. A relative owns a hybrid. It seems very efficient, and recharges itself while they drive. It’s not tied to a charging station, unlike electric vehicles.We consumers are already struggling to pay for electricity and gas, with higher prices in the future. How can electric vehicles be a reasonable solution? What am I missing?Linda, San JoseA: Environmental journalist Peter Douglas, who writes the “Green Rides” column for the Bay Area News Group and other publications, provided perspective.“While some hybrids are very efficient, the best electric cars deliver significantly greater emission reductions,” he said, “and reductions will continue to increase. Hybrids help fight climate change, but burn gasoline and produce some tailpipe emissions.“The best battery-powered electric vehicles (BEVs) are far more energy-efficient than gasoline-powered vehicles, including hybrids.
