The idea of doing this came to her randomly for no apparent reason as she was ironing some clothes. When she was asked to get the dress she had worn the day of the murders as…

The question of what might trigger a person to commit a murder has been an ongoing investigation for centuries. The idea of killing another person, let alone one’s own parents is, to most people, baffling and horrifying. Lizzie, in Sharon Pollock’s play, Blood Relations, is a curious character that murders both her parents using a hatchet.

June 13, 1805 I become the first white man to ever see the Great Falls, which the Indians had told me to look for because it meant that I was near the Missouri River.

Unexpectedly it took us one month to pass the falls. What was on the other side of the falls were the Rocky mountains. June 30, 1805, we have discovered a new…

and property damage that endanger the lives of people. And there are many reasons why floods have been a major issue. One can point to the failure of dams in the city. Another reason is due to riverine flooding. A combination of the failure of dams, river flooding, and many flood plains are why floods are a hazard in Howard County and can endanger the lives of people and property. The flood problems in Howard County have been continuing on for decades. Back in the 1970s, storms like Hurricane…

Though the rain would begin to fall on Easter Sunday, March 23, (And would fall for three days straight) by Monday – even after the local newspaper the Piqua Leader Dispatch reported the “Great Miami River will reach flood stage by nightfall” - those living in the lowest lying areas of the city would ignore the warnings. Why? Area historian and author Scott Trostel…

such as the nutria (Cavendish). The main characteristic of a beaver’s habitat is its dam. A dam allows the beaver to control the direction of water flow in a river or stream. In the spring, beavers build their dams out of logs, branches, and mud, across various waterways (Cavendish). To construct the dam, they first make a ridge across the river and then add rocks…

The Burnett River’s recreational activities are ruining the environment.* So much so, that the river can be completely ruined if action is not taken. The river descends 485 metres over its length, and the length is 435 kilometres. The river flows south past Eidsvold and Mundubbera before heading east, next to Gayndah and Wallaville before entering the city of Bundaberg. Boating, fishing, and even something as seemingly innocent as camping can deeply affect the environment if done incorrectly.…
