A Texas-Sized Hurricane of Kindness
Texas native and Channel Kindness reporter, Lauren Galley shares her views on the hurricane Harvey and its devastation in the Houston area.
Defining Disaster
Definitions of disaster vary and depend on factors like fatalities, injuries, economic damages, social systems, available resources, and overall impact. There is no universal definition, but most definitions consider a disaster an event that overwhelms local response capabilities and requires external assistance, with consequences like increased mortality, illness, injury, and disruption of livelihoods and stability. Achieving consensus on a definition is important for establishing what issues merit attention as disasters.

Phase III Presentation 1
The document discusses black swan events, which are unexpected occurrences with extreme impacts. Examples provided include the rise of the internet, 9/11, and the 2008 financial crisis. A black swan event in the housing sector could be a future recession. The COVID-19 pandemic has also acted as a black swan event, causing virus outbreaks, travel restrictions, and decreased restaurant sales. Future potential black swan events discussed include nuclear war, contact with aliens, and rising sea levels.
Hurricane Katrina Coverage Updated
The document analyzes media coverage of Hurricanes Katrina and Dennis. It finds that early coverage of Katrina by NBC and CBS downplayed the damage, while CNN's initial coverage effectively conveyed the devastation and challenges. However, CNN later characterized the situation as "urban warfare" and inaccurately portrayed victims as violent. In contrast, an interview on Chicago Public Radio provided a firsthand account that contested these reports, instead depicting people protecting each other and looting only for necessary supplies. The conclusion criticizes how media coverage often upheld myths of lawlessness during disasters despite also engaging in relief efforts.

In overcrowded markets with many similar competitors, price is often the main factor customers use to differentiate companies. To stand out, companies should stop doing what everyone else is doing and create remarkable content that is worth talking about. Getting customers' attention is difficult due to information overload, constant disruptions, and many choices, so companies need to provide uniquely valuable content and experiences to engage customers. Marketing, design, development, and traffic generation are all important pieces of an effective business website, but the starting point should be defining the target audience and creating a content-driven marketing strategy.

This paper is centered on a particular interactional move triggering argumentative exchanges in family conversations. It focuses on argumentation emerging during dinner-table conversation. Very often the situation of interaction at the dinner-table, where all family members are present and interacting with each other, represents a communicative situation in which differences of opinion may emerge. In fact, argumentation in family is often triggered by the continuous requests of children to elicit the reasons behind the parental prescriptions. More specifically, I am focusing on the children\'s "why" question and its communicative and argumentative functions.
The data corpus consists of video-recordings of dinners, held by Italian and Swiss Italian families. The results of this investigation show the presence of two fundamental functions of children’s why: argumentative and explanatory.

También menciona que las obras de una carretera local ya están terminando y que este año hay elecciones aunque no hay dinero en los ayuntamientos. Finalmente, dice que los fanáticos del Celta de Vigo tienen mucha ilusión por subir a la primera división y que los niños pequeños también quieren aplausos como los demás.

- 1. Hurricanes By: Maureen Xiong
- 2. I think hurricane Katrina is dangerous. For example on data set # 24 , “what we in New Orleans really mean when we talk about Hurricane Katrina-the flooded city, the hundreds of thousands of evacuees and displayed people, the near ruin of one of the world’s cultural capitals-was the direct result not of the storm itself, through the freakishly high winds did wreck considerable HAVOC in the city.”
- 3. Also from the movie “When The Levees Broke” hurricane Betsy or Hurricane Katrina was so dangerous that it literally broke the levees.
- 4. During a hurricane, if your trapped don’t panic.
- 5. In the movie ‘When The Levee Broke” ,60,00 people were smothered to death.
- 6. Take action, before you get killed by a hurricane and regret not doing anything about it.
