of service requirements. The balance of the response is reactive, driven by ratepayer complaints and Councillor requests. Flood events in 2011 and 2013 impacted the network significantly and overall despite flood rebuilding funding from the federal government it is indicated Council ended up with impacted roads reducing in value by 10%. Whilst a reasonable amount of flood recovery funding was made available, only roads damaged badly enough were at an intervention level high enough to trigger…

reader’s emotions, and not enough logos or ethos. The poem makes a tremendous effort to highlight on the more sympathetic aspect rather than highlighting the underlying message. “Of all Robinson’s many failures, perhaps the most sympathetic is old Eben Flood of "Mr. Flood's Party," because in his case the failure is from a weakness not of conscience but of flesh: old age has overwhelmed him and left him friendless, an unwilling exile, doomed to holding an ironic "party" with himself.” (Pratt.)…

true. To add, because of the stigma surrounding Louisiana, news coverage about the flooding has been terribly minimal. This is most likely due to the presumptive outlooks stated prior. Since a large majority of non-residents see Louisiana to be flood-prone, the news would most likely be considered trivial and not sell. Therefore, Louisiana has not been receiving the much needed attention and compassion that it deserves. Although this is an extremely unfair approach to take, sadly, it is true.…

homes and buildings. Another effect is how we act about the waters. In New Orleans the federal government built a bigger flood wall after hurricane Katrina, to help with the floods. Some people are build using honeycomb like patterns to absorb the water and are accessible through earthen berms. Another design is building parking garages at the first floor so the water does not flood the actual building. Others are planting few trees in parks to minimize damage. Houses may be built on pilings…

build an ark to escape the flood. They were also both told to save themselves, their families and some animals. Noah was only allowed to bring his wife, his sons and his son's wife's, but on the other hand, Utnapishtim could bring his family members and anyone who wanted to come along with him. Also, both men made sacrifices to their high power; Noah to God and Utnapishmut to Enlil. Another similarity within both…

started with the landscapes and plants then moving on to the animals and lastly creating humans to give them a kind of dominance above the other creations. Both of these stories included the idea of a flood destroying the Gods’ creation, allowing them to somewhat start over. The destruction of the flood was seen somewhat as a punishment to the things they have created for their mistakes such as going against a God’s rule or not worshipping the Gods. A…

Data sources: The science has proved that the carbon emission in atmosphere has increased the hurricanes in Atlantic Ocean and floods in this decades. This has resulted in warmer climate that lead to storms. The floods and storms has always made destruction to the lives and materials. The infectious diseases, injuries, contamination of water that ultimately affected the health care. The allergies and respiratory diseases caused to the pollutants in air. Most of the Americans is living in the…

gift, and the union of heaven and earth. In the primal waters archetype, Jupiter, in reaction to Lycaon, has a council that decides humans are not worthy to continue "polluting the world". With that being said Jupiter decides to have Neptune and Iris flood the world and wipe out that age of man. The archetype of mankind being a gift from the gods is similar to that of the Greek myth, except that instead of Zeus creating mankind, in the Roman myth it was Prometheus who created mankind from a type…

"A film is... A progression of moods and feelings. The feel of the experience is the important thing, not the ability to verbalized or analyze it." The quote by Stanley Kubrick illustrates the ideal director of a movie. According to Stanley Kubrick, a director should use the techniques given to make a good movie that expresses their style. In particular, Tim Burton uses numerous cinematic techniques such as sound, lighting, and shots to demonstrate his unique style in movies like Charlie and the…

extinction. They have been slowly being reintroduced in ecosystems across the world such as in Europe, Canada, and America. It has been very successful to the point where they now are interacting with the human population. Humans trap them because they flood roads and properties and damage forests. They also have been known to build dams in front of storm drains. When they build like this, it costs the government thousands of dollars to clean up to make sure nothing bad happens in the future…
