...Water Control: Flooding Issues in Houston, Texas The purpose of this paper is to analyze and discuss the flooding problems in Houston, Texas. As a part of this analysis, this paper will assess the economical, political, and legal implications of Houston’s flooding. It will also explain the relationship that psychology has to environmental preservation, and will create a solution to the issue at hand. In the process of proposing a conceivable solution, this paper will discuss the economic, political, and legal barriers of the solution, how they can be overcome, and why this solution will be successful. Flooding Issues in Houston, Texas Houston, Texas is home to over two million individuals, and is the fourth largest city within the United States of America. It is located in the Southeastern part of the state of Texas, and sits roughly 50 feet above sea level. Houston is known for its famous nickname of the Bayou City, as it is home to over 2,500 miles of manmade rivers. These manmade rivers (bayous) are the city of Houston’s way of containing and channeling rain water to the ocean. This alternative drainage system was a much needed installation because of the city’s position, as compared to the sea level (Bayou Preservation, 2012). Currently, Houston suffers from severe flooding issues (i.e. flash floods, urban floods, river and bayou floods), and depending upon the area of town, the probability of high and slow moving floodwaters increase. As the city’s population...

...istdstudent assessment International Society of Typographic Designers 2013 istdstudent assessment International Society of Typographic Designers IN PARTNERSHIP WITH 2013 Dear Tutors and Students Most of us can identify films that we have watched several times and, each time, found something that we had missed previously. The British Library is a bit like that – one of those places that you can return to and always find something new that fascinates and informs you. It is six years since we first worked with the Library on a project, then based upon a proposed Science Fiction exhibition. We are delighted to renew our partnership this year with a project that explores their huge online presence and for the first time we use archive sound as the source for the project. Our practice is based upon the printed word but now embraces the gamut of media and technologies that we use to communicate. Accordingly, we have progressively written our student project briefs for interpretation through a range of media. This project is possibly one of our most open in that, beyond identifying the particular British Library archive, the choice of topic, content, treatment and outcomes is all yours. By not defining specific media and outcomes for our projects we offer them as holistic communication challenges – deliberately breaking the perceived tradition of the typo/graphic designer just providing essentially visual skills. First and foremost we are communicators using design skills...

...“aGeinG in PLace”: the Views OF OLDer hOmeOwners On maintenance, renOVatiOn anD aDaPtatiOn Judith Davey1 New Zealand Institute for Research on Ageing Te Putahi Rangahau i te Pakeke Haere Victoria University of Wellington Abstract “Ageing in place” is favoured in policies on ageing and is the preferred option of many older people. For older homeowners, remaining at home may depend on their ability to keep their homes in good condition, safe, suitable and comfortable. This research illuminates the attitudes, opinions and preferences of some older New Zealanders with respect to their current and future housing circumstances. A considerable degree of self-sufficiency was found with respect to home maintenance, but fewer people were capable of doing their own renovation work, and there were clear gender differences. The respondents mostly shared a strong desire to remain living independently in the community for the rest of their lives. The most popular option for a new residence was a separate house, but one smaller and easier to manage than their family home. To this end, many had already moved to low-maintenance housing suited to ageing in place. Others had aspirations for such a move. Some of those who wished to remain in their long-term family homes were considering adaptations to make this possible, and some had already adapted their homes to cope with health issues. The study concludes that most of the respondents were resourceful...

...Comics as Archives: MetaMetaMaus Hillary Chute | University of Chicago Abstract: In the view of some critics, the form of comics is a locus of the archival, a place where we can identify an archival turn. Art Spiegelman’s Maus first and perhaps most forcefully established the connection between archives and comics. His groundbreaking work documenting his father’s experience in WWII Poland, where he survived internment in Auschwitz, is a visual narrative based on oral testimony that consistently heightens our awareness of visual, written, and oral archives, and where they interact, overlap, or get transposed one into the other. Hillary Chute recounts and interprets her collaboration with Spiegelman in the process of assembling MetaMaus, a book compiling interviews and archival materials on the making of Maus. MetaMaus, argues Chute, reflects the tension between different kinds of extant archives—oral, written, photographic—and the cross-discursive work of (re)building new archives that motivates Maus. Its defining feature is that it shows the materiality of Spiegelman’s archive; it is about the embodiment of archives. The subject of Maus is the retrieval of memory and ultimately, the creation of memory…. It’s about choices being made, of finding what one can tell, and what one can reveal, and what one can reveal beyond what one knows one is revealing. Those are the things that give real tensile strength to the work—putting the dead into little boxes. – Art Spiegelman (MetaMaus...

...CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND The restaurant industry consists of restaurants, bars, and other away-from-home eating facilities. The National Restaurant Association (NRA), an industry trade group based in Washington, D.C., estimated that industry sales in 2001 totaled $399 billion and predicted that industry sales will hit $576.9 billion by 2010. According to the National Restaurant Association (1999), an estimated 844,000 establishments offered prepared food in the United States in 2001 and the number of restaurants in the U.S. is forecasted to increase to 1,001,305 by the year 2010 (Figure 1.1). 1200 1000 1000 831 800 577 600 400 376 200 0 Sales (billions) Locations (thousands) 2000 2010 Source: National Restaurant Association (1999) Figure 1.1 Restaurant Industry Sales and Locations 1 There are a variety of possible locations for restaurants including a freestanding unit, located in shopping mall outlet, food court, or a multiple concept unit within an existing facility designed for another business such as a gas station and convenience store. It may be leased space, a building the retailer purchases, or a new structure built to specification. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages for specific types of restaurants (James, Walker, and Etzel, 1975; McGuire, 1993; Powers, 1997; Hsu and Powers, 2002). The cost of land, lease expenses, and building varies with the location of the restaurant. Metropolitan...

...WASTE WATER MANAGEMENT, RAWALPINDI. Introduction: 1. Rawalpindi, a Mega City is Country’s forth largest city with the population of 2.1 Million. In the year 1998, Water and Sanitation Agency (WASA) was established under the Government of Punjab, Development of big cities act to meet the requirements of rapid growing population. RWASA is providing water and sanitation services to 1.6 Million population which is spread over an area of 35 sq. km. Pakistan has been blessed with abundance of availability of surface and ground water resources to the tune of 128300 million and 50579 million per year respectively (The Pakistan National Conservation Strategy, 1992). In spite of this naturally resource enrichment, per capita water availability has decreased from 5600 to 1000 cum per annum (Water Quality Status, 2003). 2. Beside this appreciable decrease in water availability, the quality of both the sources has crossed the acceptable limits for drinking water. Both state and non-state actors have overwhelmingly detoriated the water quality due to indiscriminate over extraction of groundwater complemented with polluted recharge sources like Nullah lai and other waste water streams. At the moment the northern part of the country has microbial contamination of 64 % (Diagnostic Survey, PCRWR, 2007). Central part of the country has both chemical and microbial contamination. River Ravi and Chenab receives industrial waste water of textile, leather and light engineering industries more than...

...SUBMISSION DATE: 07-05-2012 This project is solely the work of the author and is submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Degree of Bachelors of Business Administration EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Our FYP project is based on the issues in the emergency department of health sector of Pakistan on which we are conducting a research work. As we hear about the problems that occur in this department of health sector and the difficulties that people face we will be looking into the depth of these issues and try to highlight the key points that create such a situation. Our main objective is to find the gap between the perception and reality. We go about in our project first giving a brief introduction of the emergency department of health sector according to the secondary data that we collected. We also discussed the techniques, strategies and standard operational procedures i.e. SOP’s according to which emergencies should operate. Moreover we also discussed emergency ethics that are the first and foremost base to determine how the doctors are expected to behave with the patients and handle their problems. We have also conducted a primary research by observing and interviewing patients to fill out the survey questions. We have also included overviews of the journals taken from the health institutes in countries like USA, and Europe. It will help us get an insight on how these countries emergency departments are operating. The case study on dengue has been...

...The Journal of Applied Business Research – May/June 2015 Volume 31, Number 3 Collaborative Consumption And Sustainability: A Discursive Analysis Of Consumer Representations And Collaborative Website Narratives Anne-Sophie Binninger, NEOMA Business School, France Nacima Ourahmoune, NEOMA Business School, France Isabelle Robert, University Lille Nord de France-SKEMA Business School, France ABSTRACT In this article, the authors analyze the collaborative consumption model and its contribution to sustainable consumption. Indeed, collaborative consumption is considered as an alternative, ecological consumption mode (Bostman & Rogers, 2011), but previous research has no yet deeply explored to what extent it contributes the sustainable scheme and values. The study therefore investigates both the producer side (collaborative websites) and consumer side (blog participants) to decipher how sustainable ideals are shaped in this context and how consumers attend to them. Six segments of consumers have been identified which can help marketing and sustainable levers better frame their offer. Keywords: Collaborative Consumption; Sustainable Consumption; Access-Based Consumption; Sharing INTRODUCTION O ver the last decade, markets have changed significantly in terms of our relationship to goods, leading to other forms of acquisition and consumption than via possession (Rifkin, 2000, Lovelock and Gummeson 2004, Mont, 2002, Giesler 2006, Chen, 2009, Belk, 2010, Gansky 2010; Bostman & Rogers...

...community within the United States has created an unparalleled situation of language contact. Language is synonymous with identity (cf. Granger, 2004, and works cited within). To the extent that this is true, Spanish is synonymous with being Mexican and by extension, Chicano. With the advent of amnesty programs such as Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA), which naturalized millions of Mexican migrants, what was once a temporal migratory population has become increasingly permanent (Durand et al., 1999). In an effort to conserve Mexican traditions and identity, the struggle to preserve the mother tongue while at the same time acculturate to mainstream Americana has resulted in a variant of Spanglish that has received little attention. This paper will examine the variant of Spanglish seen in the greater Los Angeles area and liken it to the bi-national identity under which these Mexican Americans thrive.
