Morse Code Translator. Text to Morse Just type letters, numbers and punctuation into the top box and the Morse code will appear in the bottom box with a "#" if the character cannot be translated. If you want to translate prosigns, enter them as for instance and tick the "Use prosigns" checkbox in the advanced controls. This is not a great tool for learning Morse code as looking at the dots and dashes does not help. Instead, try the CWOps Morse Trainer. Morse to Text You can type Morse code into the top box using ". " for a dot and "-" or "_" for a dash.

Oregon Trail, The : MECC : Free Streaming. The Oregon Trail Deluxe. The New Nation, 1783-1815 | The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History. 10 of the Biggest Lies in History" Two decades before the Clinton scandal, another U.S. president was caught in a web of lies, and the controversy had devastating effects on the country as a whole. In the summer before President Richard Nixon's successful re-election to a second term, five men were caught breaking into the Democratic National Committee headquarters, housed in the Watergate Hotel.

As details emerged over the next year, it became clear that officials close to Nixon gave the orders to the burglars, perhaps to plant wiretaps on the phones there. The question soon became about whether Nixon knew of, covered up or even ordered the break-in. In response to mounting suspicions, Nixon denied allegations that he knew anything. It was a lie that came back to haunt him. The tapes were exactly the smoking gun needed to implicate Nixon in the cover-up of the scandal. Attack At Pearl Harbor, 1941. Attack at Pearl Harbor, 1941 December seventh, 1941: the surprise was complete. The attacking planes came in two waves; the first hit its target at 7:53 AM, the second at 8:55. By 9:55 it was all over. By 1:00 PM the carriers that launched the planes from 274 miles off the coast of Oahu were heading back to Japan. Behind them they left chaos, 2,403 dead, 188 destroyed planes and a crippled Pacific Fleet that included 8 damaged or destroyed battleships.

Approximately three hours later, Japanese planes began a day-long attack on American facilities in the Philippines. Although stunned by the attack at Pearl Harbor, the Pacific Fleet's aircraft carriers, submarines and, most importantly, its fuel oil storage facilities emerged unscathed. The battleships moored along "Battleship Row" are the primary target of the attack's first wave. "At approximately eight o'clock on the morning of December 7, 1941, I was leaving the breakfast table when the ship's siren for air defense sounded.
