Ferrocement is a fine structure for a dam. Cement is stronger within 1/4" of a support. We would be wise to make a finer cubelike mesh system inside our cement structures to give them greater strength.

Dam overtop is a major cause of collapse. Shifting weather patterns may affect dams. Broad areas parallel to the top of the dam may reduce strain on the dam in the event of overtop. This might erode the areas to the left or right of a dam, but if they are reinforced to a degree they would be effective and prevent much potential dam destruction.

Having Daughters Changes Dad's Thinking

http://www.physorg.com/news101125978.html

A U.S. study says men who have daughters are more likely to support women's issues than men without daughters.

Ebonya Washington, an assistant economics professor at Yale University, found that the more daughters a congressman had, the more likely he was to vote for reproductive rights, USA Today said Thursday.

Washington's research expands on an analysis that she did last year of roll call votes by congress members in 1997 and 1998, on women's issues such as equal rights, women's safety, economic security, education, health and reproductive rights, the newspaper said.

Kyle Pruett, a clinical professor of psychiatry at Yale University's Child Study Center, said daughters make fathers "think differently about how they're going to make the world a better place."

Sociology professor Scott Coltrane of the University of California-Riverside said fathers who have only daughters "tend to instill in their daughters an achievement motivation" and are "more sensitive to discrimination."
