World War Zero. Episode 2. Docudrama. English Subtitles. StarMediaEN
The War of 1853-1856 is most often known as The Crimean War. But the battle for the Crimea was only one episode of a much bigger war. The confrontation between the Russian Empire on the one hand and the Allied Forces of the British Empire, France, Turkey and the Kingdom of Sardinia on the other affected a huge territory stretching from the Baltic Sea to the Pacific Ocean. In fact, it was a war for world domination - in effect a world war.

ENGINEERING 281: Renovation of Fountains - Hydraulic Considerations
This presentation focuses on the hydraulic aspects of fountain renovation. We will start with what to look for during the initial site visit and project assessment, and then move to a list of considerations to review during the design. Technology for water treatment and equipment has changed and we will discuss how to implement these improvements and where they should be avoided. Most importantly, safety and code compliance is key and the changes could have a detrimental effect on the project or, with some creative ingenuity, they may enhance the project.
Learning Objectives:
Discuss project assessment, hydraulic tests, and documentation of existing conditions.
Identify hydraulic performance and issues, equipment replacement, and material compatibility with potential water chemistry changes.
Explain important safety considerations, the ANSI/APSP-7 Standard for Suction Entrapment Avoidance, and unique solutions to renovation projects.
Examine code requirements and ways to make old non-compliant projects safe.

Войну 1853-1856 годов часто называют Крымской. Но битва за Крым была только эпизодом огромной войны.

Фактически это была война за мировое господство – мировая война. Каковы были явные и скрытые причины развернувшегося в середине XIX века противоборства великих держав?
