Background The idea of diverting water from the Sierra Nevada mountains to the Los Angeles area came to light after many years of harsh drought that affected southern California in the beginning of the 20th century. The city leaders wanted the growing town of Los Angeles to transform into a thriving metropolis of economic power but to support the influx of residents more water was needed. Construction of the California aqueduct began in 1908 frustrating residents of the Owens Valley (a valley composed of a few towns near the Owens River). These towns that sit to the east of the Sierra Nevada mountains and 200 miles away from Los Angeles slowly watched as land and water rights were bought out from under them. At the completion of construction of the aqueduct in 1913, the lush greenery of the land began to give way to desert-like conditions. The channel diverted water a total of 233 miles south to the Los Angeles area. The 1920s were termed the “water wars” due to the outrage the residents of the Owens Valley felt toward the aqueduct and on three separate occasions they blew up the channel. Also during this time one of the dams constructed to hold the water collapsed flooding many small towns and killing hundreds. The aqueduct was examined leading many to believe it would be the end of its use. Yet the channel was rerouted and extended to the Mono Basin Project or Mono Lake for a total water diversion of 338 miles. The situation at Mono Lake now has taken a turn for the worse causing the once thriving lake to shrink considerably. Directions Using the background information above, your textbook, and performing outside research, you will post a defense ONLY for the position you have been assigned. If you were a citizen in the area, how would the building of the aqueduct affect you and your family? When responding to another classmate courteously state if you agree or disagree and your own justification. One student must be from the opposite town than you were assigned. For example, my last name is Cobb. I would write my post as a resident from Owens Valley and respond to a student from Los Angeles. My second response can be to a fellow Owens Valley resident or another student from Los Angeles. Make sure you write at least 10 meaningful, complete sentences and respond to TWO other students for full credit. Saying "I agree." or something similar is not considered a good, complete sentence! Please refer to the corresponding module page for more specific grading criteria. *Students with their last name beginning with the letters A through L will be residents of Owens Valley . .

Dreams, Dust and Birds: The Trashing of Owens Lake
Construction of the Jawbone siphon of the Los Angeles Aqueduct, 1912. [courtesy of the Joseph Barlow Lippincott collection, UC Berkeley Water Resources Center Archives]
Manufacturing Dust
The dry bed of what was once Owens Lake contains the detritus of Los Angeles’s fantasies. Starting in 1913, the City of Los Angeles, which historian Kevin Starr has called “the most exquisite invented garden in history,” gradually drained the enormous lake, located two hundred miles to the north of the city. [1] It was a monumental act of engineering: an aqueduct was constructed and then, like a garden hose that was picked up and moved, the Owens River was shifted, so that instead of watering Owens Lake it was watering Los Angeles. In this way the Owens River also began to supply an emerging area called “Hollywoodland,” its water used to create, in the arid landscape of Southern California, a version of the English Lake District. The river fed by the lake supplied 100 percent of Los Angeles’s water, and as a result the 110-square-mile lake gradually dried up and became a howling wasteland of toxic dust. The farmers of Owens Valley fought tenaciously to keep their lake and their river, even resorting to dynamiting the aqueduct (a drama depicted in Chinatown). But they lost.
I grew up near Owens Lake, and I breathed in its dust for close to 20 years. I remember that the experience of walking on the lakebed felt like walking on the moon, with its white crusty surface pocked by shadowy craters and peaks of crumbling crystallized salt. Unfortunately, this dust is not the kind that you can simply breathe out. It has been shown to embed itself in the lungs for life, and it is carcinogenic. In 1987 the Environmental Protection Agency declared Owens lakebed to be the worst dust pollution problem in the United States, affecting around 50,000 people. By then the dangers of this kind of fine dust were well known. But it's a complicated story, of course, and to those of us who have followed it — lived it — the decision about whom to help and whom to hurt had already been made, decades ago. In 1906 President Theodore Roosevelt decided that the waters of Owens River should go to Los Angeles because the city was where it would do the “greatest good for the greatest number.” “This water is more valuable to the people as a whole,” he said, “if used by the city than if used by the people of the Owens Valley.” [2] Over the decades the people of the Owens Valley came to understand that the “people as a whole” did not include us.
So when in the late '80s the EPA mandated that the City of Los Angeles fix the problem of the Owens Valley, and do so within ten years, this came as a surprise. But the ensuing events suggest that the kind of engineering ingenuity that had once made it possible to move the waters was unavailable decades later for the equally large-scale job of.

The River Zambezi floods of 2009 in Namibia displaced over 50,000 people from their homes and caused over $136 million in economic losses. Heavy rainfall led to river levels rising by 8 meters, inundating villages and agricultural land. Over 700,000 people, a third of Namibia's population, were affected. The floods demonstrated the local authorities' inability to respond adequately, with relief efforts hampered by poor coordination. International aid of $7 million was provided to help establish relief camps and address health and sanitation issues.

Wabash River Sand Bars
The author went boating on the Wabash River and discovered a sand bar where they stopped and explored. This experience led the author to question how sand bars form in rivers and whether other rivers also contain them. Research revealed that sand bars are deposited by river currents and waves, forming in long patterns. They are usually only visible during low water levels. Many rivers experience erosion on the outside of bends which deposits sediments to create point bars on the inside of bends. Sand bars are a common feature found in various rivers worldwide such as the Colorado and Missouri rivers.

HURRICANE KATRINA: A MAN-MADE CRISIS?
“The New Orleans we all thought we knew is dead,” said the city’s former mayor Marc
Morial after Hurricane Katrina ended the good times for the Big Easy, as the city is often
called.1 Long before the Katrina disaster in the summer of 2005, Morial had criticized the
city’s founders for selecting a site with so many water management problems.2 New
Orleans was founded on a perilous location—a natural levee adjacent to the massive
Mississippi river that was not embayed and therefore not protected from flooding.
Geologists Kolb and Van Loplin described the location as “a land between earth and the
sea—belonging to neither and alternately claimed by both.”3
Even the city’s first chief engineer, Del la tour, considered the site inappropriate, but Jean
Baptiste La Moyne, Sieur de Bienville, a French colonizer, believed that the site was
strategically important for trade between North America and the rest of the world. The
Mississippi River, with its vast network of tributaries, provided a splendid transportation
system into the expansive interior of North America. Bienville believed that by
reconstructing the landscape, the threat of the river’s floodwaters could be overcome. His
decision to establish New Orleans as the capital of Louisiana in 1718 marked the
beginning of a constant struggle by city authorities to keep the city dry. In fact, Bienville
himself had to wait for water from the 1717 floods to recede before establishing the city
on the peak of the natural levee that rose about 12 feet above sea level. That spot was still
subject to regular flooding, but it was the best possible location because it was less
susceptible to inundation than the rest of the levee ...
The Los Angeles Aqueduct Slideshow
Follow the path of California's first major water project that stretched from Mono Lake to Southern California, delivering the Owens River to support the growth & population of Los Angeles.
River Profiles
This document discusses river profiles, fluvial landforms, and river capture/stream piracy. It begins by outlining the learning objectives, which are processes of river transportation, river profiles (long and cross), fluvial landforms, and river abstraction/stream piracy. It then provides details on longitudinal and cross river profiles, including typical shapes and features. A number of fluvial landforms are described, such as meanders, waterfalls, levees, and deltas. The document concludes by explaining river capture/stream piracy, how watershed boundaries can shift due to unequal erosion rates on either side of a drainage divide.
Photo journal
The document describes various geographic and geological features found around Fossil Falls State Park and the Coso Volcanic Field in California. It discusses how Fossil Falls was formed by meltwater from glaciers, and describes Native American artifacts and structures found in the area like metate holes, obsidian flakes, petroglyphs, and home rings. It also summarizes information about Mormon Rocks, the San Andreas Fault, and plant life commonly found in the Mojave Desert region.
Panama and Los Angeles
1) The document discusses the history and construction of the Panama Canal and the Los Angeles Aqueduct. It describes the French and later American efforts to build the Panama Canal between 1880-1913, overcoming disease, funding issues, and engineering challenges.
2) It also details how William Mulholland helped develop the Los Angeles Aqueduct between 1878-1913 to supply water from the Owens River Valley to the growing city of Los Angeles, enabling its expansion. The aqueduct faced opposition from Owens Valley residents and later caused environmental issues.
3) Both massive public works projects transformed their regions but faced substantial obstacles and controversies during planning and construction before being completed ahead of schedule.

The document provides information about rivers and coasts for a GCSE Geography revision pack. It includes key terms, landforms, and processes related to rivers and coasts, as well as case studies on river and coastal management. Resources for further study are also listed.
Colusa_11_FloodMgmt
The document summarizes the history of flooding in the Colusa Basin Watershed prior to flood management efforts. It describes how the Sacramento River would flood broad areas of the valley floor annually during high flows. Early private flood protection efforts failed due to their small scale and lack of coordination. The state later established swampland districts to organize larger, engineered projects but with limited success. Ultimately, a federal flood control project was needed to comprehensively address Sacramento River flooding in the watershed.

An old river is characterized by a broad, flat floodplain and the presence of oxbow lakes and meanders. Rivers progress through different stages of erosion - from young to mature to old. A young river has steep slopes and swift flow, while an old river has a gentle slope and has eroded the surrounding land, leaving a flat floodplain from extensive erosion over a long period of time.

The photo journal documents trips to Mormon Rocks, Cinder Hill, Fossil Falls, Mono Lake, and other locations in Eastern California. Key points include:
- Mormon Rocks were formed by wind and water erosion over decades and consist of sandstone and other rocks.
- Cinder Hill is a composite volcano and cinder cone near the San Andreas rift zone, a strike slip fault.
- Fossil Falls was formed by volcanic activity and melt water from glaciers in the Sierra Nevada mountains.
- Mono Lake and Negit Island were affected when water was diverted from creeks to the Los Angeles Aqueduct, lowering lake levels.
- The Owens River and Owens Dry Lake show
Joanna Angeles Geography 5 Photo Journal 11/28/12
Mormon Rocks were formed by water carrying sediments along the San Andreas Fault. Their shape is a result of wind and precipitation acting on the uplifted sandstone formations. Cinder Hill is a cinder cone volcano made of basalt in the Coso Volcanic Field. Fossil Falls was formed by volcanic activity and melted water from glaciers creating a river that smoothed and rounded the basalt rocks. Native Americans who lived in the area created petroglyphs and house rings from local obsidian and basalt.

Los Angeles city officials, led by William Mulholland, purchased land and water rights in Owens Valley under false pretenses of local use, and instead constructed an aqueduct to transport the water to LA. The aqueduct opened in 1913, fueling rapid population growth and development in LA. As the Owens Valley dried up due to water diversion, local resentment grew and bombings of the aqueduct occurred. Mulholland later oversaw construction of the St. Francis Dam, which catastrophically failed in 1928, killing over 450 people.

Rivers
This document defines key river features and processes, and describes the three stages of river development. It also discusses human uses of rivers including hydroelectric power, irrigation, and recreation. Key points are:
- Rivers erode, transport, and deposit material as they flow from their source to their mouth.
- A river progresses from a steep-sided youthful stage to a winding mature stage and finally a flood-plain old age stage.
- Humans build dams for hydroelectric power and irrigation, but they flood land and impact river ecosystems.

The Panama Canal is a 50 mile long waterway between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans that cuts through the Isthmus of Panama. It was constructed between 1904-1914 under the direction of President Theodore Roosevelt and engineer George Goethals, allowing ships to avoid the lengthy route around South America. The canal features locks that lift ships up to Gatun Lake, cutting the travel time between the oceans significantly. In 1977, control of the canal was transferred to Panama. Today over 14,000 ships pass through the canal annually, making it a vital global shipping route.

The document discusses how sea level rise is caused by global warming melting glaciers and adding more heat to bodies of water. This causes water levels to rise in many cooler regions and coastal areas. However, when glaciers melt, cold water flows into small swamps, rivers, and in some cases causes tsunamis, destroying many places in countries like the US, Canada, and elsewhere. The writing lacks academic formality and precision.
Barbara Silva is the CIO for Peachtree Community Hospital in Atlanta.docx
Barbara Silva is the CIO for Peachtree Community Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. As the chief information officer, it has been her duty to assemble a team of healthcare information professionals to prepare for the implementation of HIPAA Privacy Rules.
How did Barbara and her team orchestrate moving forward toward HIPAA Privacy compliance? First, she established a steering committee responsible for HIPAA Privacy planning. The committee focused on three broad areas of development, including:
education;
assessment; and
development of policies and procedures.
The steering committee recognizes that the scope of this project is quite vast and that it encompasses many different areas of the facility. The scope involves not just hospital information systems, but the operations of many departments and manual processes. These varied items are included in the scope of assessment and are found to be the biggest challenge. Developing HIPAA compliant policies and procedures is not a one-time activity as changes are constant. Development and continuous updating will mean that this project is one that will be an ongoing effort.
Part of Peachtree Community Hospital’s key to success has been pulling together the right combination of professionals. The result is a multidisciplinary team which will include the HIM services director and the CCO (chief compliance officer).
Barbara has garnered the following information from experts in the area of HIPAA Privacy Rules who have suggested that healthcare organizations consider the following steps to become compliant:
Inventory the organization’s data as the first step in policy implementation.
Read the Federal Register information on HIPAA.
Focus on HIPAA as a business process issue.
Secure the support of top management and the active involvement and participation of staff in all affected areas.
Thoroughly review outside vendor contracts to ensure compliance with business associate agreements.
Appoint a dedicated staff to the HIPAA privacy initiative.
Preparing for HIPAA compliance will require a complex and thorough evaluation and realignment of business and operational processes.
Your Role/Assignment

HURRICANE KATRINA: A MAN-MADE CRISIS?
“The New Orleans we all thought we knew is dead,” said the city’s former mayor Marc
Morial after Hurricane Katrina ended the good times for the Big Easy, as the city is often
called.1 Long before the Katrina disaster in the summer of 2005, Morial had criticized the
city’s founders for selecting a site with so many water management problems.2 New
Orleans was founded on a perilous location—a natural levee adjacent to the massive
Mississippi river that was not embayed and therefore not protected from flooding.
Geologists Kolb and Van Loplin described the location as “a land between earth and the
sea—belonging to neither and alternately claimed by both.”3
Even the city’s first chief engineer, Del la tour, considered the site inappropriate, but Jean
Baptiste La Moyne, Sieur de Bienville, a French colonizer, believed that the site was
strategically important for trade between North America and the rest of the world. The
Mississippi River, with its vast network of tributaries, provided a splendid transportation
system into the expansive interior of North America. Bienville believed that by
reconstructing the landscape, the threat of the river’s floodwaters could be overcome. His
decision to establish New Orleans as the capital of Louisiana in 1718 marked the
beginning of a constant struggle by city authorities to keep the city dry. In fact, Bienville
himself had to wait for water from the 1717 floods to recede before establishing the city
on the peak of the natural levee that rose about 12 feet above sea level. That spot was still
subject to regular flooding, but it was the best possible location because it was less
susceptible to inundation than the rest of the levee ...

River Profiles
This document discusses river profiles, fluvial landforms, and river capture/stream piracy. It begins by outlining the learning objectives, which are processes of river transportation, river profiles (long and cross), fluvial landforms, and river abstraction/stream piracy. It then provides details on longitudinal and cross river profiles, including typical shapes and features. A number of fluvial landforms are described, such as meanders, waterfalls, levees, and deltas. The document concludes by explaining river capture/stream piracy, how watershed boundaries can shift due to unequal erosion rates on either side of a drainage divide.

The document summarizes the history of flooding in the Colusa Basin Watershed prior to flood management efforts. It describes how the Sacramento River would flood broad areas of the valley floor annually during high flows. Early private flood protection efforts failed due to their small scale and lack of coordination. The state later established swampland districts to organize larger, engineered projects but with limited success. Ultimately, a federal flood control project was needed to comprehensively address Sacramento River flooding in the watershed.

An old river is characterized by a broad, flat floodplain and the presence of oxbow lakes and meanders. Rivers progress through different stages of erosion - from young to mature to old. A young river has steep slopes and swift flow, while an old river has a gentle slope and has eroded the surrounding land, leaving a flat floodplain from extensive erosion over a long period of time.

Barbara is aware of the importance of diversity within the organization. Diversity and inclusion is particularly important because of the population served by UCCO facilities. However, she realizes during the meeting that there may be some issues with diversity and culture. Furthermore, how diversity and culture impact team performance. Several managers made comments regarding distribution of work and employee perspectives based on stereotypes. She also found out that there are many personality conflicts and issues with subordination. Barbara encountered the conflict and degradation comments, first-hand during the meeting.
Visit the Rasmussen online Library and search for a minimum of 3 articles covering diversity and culture and teamwork.
For this project assignment on UCCO complete a minimum of a 3 page report to address management of change with strategic planning and with the following concepts:
What is the role of executives in the process of change management and strategic planning? How do issues with diversity and culture relate to change management?
Why is diversity inclusion important? What are the benefits? Specifically address UCCO purpose for diversity.
Discuss how working with others can help with respect for diversity and respect for diverse perspectives.
What are the challenges and benefits of employing a diverse workforce?
What should Barbara's plan be for encouraging teamwork among a diverse workforce and ensuring that employees make meaningful and valuable contributions to team projects and tasks. Incorporate Barbara's personal experience with the team of clinic managers.

Unmasking the Prevailing Culprits in The Present-Day Education System
In pursuit of a holistic, critically provoking, meaningful, and educational oriented environment where teachers are free to teach, and learners are free to think, and the disappointing reality continues to present itself from every dimension. The faults in the current education system are critically unmasked by Mark Edmundson and Paulo Freire in their two invaluable pieces of articles. A careful analysis of the ideas tabled by the two influential education thinkers illustrates numerous underlying commonalities in their works as well as some overlooked ideas in their arguments. The fact that their central ideas in their respective scholarly works revolve around unmasking the true culprits in the present-day education implies that, if Edmundson and Freire were able to converse with each other, they would both agree on the need to change the current education system and build it around critical thinking. It’s to this end that this paper seeks to synthesize their ideas in an attempt to identify common grounds, differences as well the areas they both overlooked.
Looking at the prevailing schooling system in America as well as the ways through which learners are carrying out their studies, the perception of the two education thinkers is of great heed to the whole education system. Deeply entrenched into the Edmundson and Freire respective pieces of literature is the overarching conspiracy and oppression theme where the established, who is this case is the teacher among other the education leaders seek to contain, manipulate, and control the thoughts of the learners. As acknowledged by Freire, “Teachers either work for the liberation of the people- their humanization- or for their domestication, their dominance” (p.243). As a result of this domination and hierarchical relationship, the only knowledge that the learners in the prevailing education system receive are from the teachers, an aspect that dehumanizes the students as they do not get the chance to develop their own knowledge or even challenge the one received from the teachers. The oppression and domination ideology as presented by Freire cast invaluable light on the need for both teachers and students to embrace an “authentic” approach to education which grants them some chance to be aware of their respective incompleteness and eventually strive to be fully human (Freire 244). In a bid to rethink Freire’s oppression implication, as a college student one ought to act as a co-creator of knowledge at the expense of posing as an empty vessel waiting to be filled by the college professor or instructor.
Similarly, Edmundson acknowledges the presence of oppression in thinking and learning approaches in the contemporary schools, but from a different angle from the one used by Freire. While Freire profoundly argues that students are highly dehumanized a.

A broad, general problem seen throughout the country is the integration of online course work into the public-school classroom. Technology is integrated into all levels of education: pre-K, elementary, secondary, and higher education (Leggatt, 2016). It began with a modest inclusion of videos or allowing students to research using school-provided laptops or tablets. This was the simple way of using technology. Now that technology is more accessible and affordable, districts are providing students with digital devices to use in and out of schools, allowing them to utilize their phones, and requiring them to complete coursework online outside of the classroom (Hohlfeld, Ritzhaupt, Dawson, & Wilson,.

Barbara and Judi entered into a contract with Linda, which provided that they open a jewelry store in Fullerton. Linda is obligated to supply all jewelry in accordance with a specified price list. Linda also agreed that she would not personally compete or supply another retail merchant, either directly or indirectly, within the City of Fullerton.
Linda, in order to give the necessary credit to Barbara and Judi, required that Joanne act as a guarantor. Barbara and Judi have been very successful, making substantial profits each month.
After one year's time, Barbara, who also has an additional job as a legal secretary, requires an extended vacation. Judi is fully in agreement. While Barbara is on her vacation, Linda sells jewelry to three additional retailers, all of whom, in the space of one week, open competitive shops in Fullerton. Linda's agreement with the new retailers is to provide inventory to the new stores at a substantially reduced cost, permitting them to sell retail at rates far below Judi and Barbara's cost. In one month's time, Judi closes the business and, unknown to Barbara, files suit in Federal District Court, alleging breach of contract on Linda's part and further alleging that she only has been damaged. Barbara returns from her extended vacation one month after the suit is filed and files a motion to intervene under Rule 24. Linda files a motion under Rule 19, alleging that Barbara should be joined as a party. Joanne, who lives in Nevada, learns of the lawsuit and asks her attorney to file a motion to intervene under Rule 24. Linda, in the requisite time, files her answer and files a motion under Rule 14 to implead the Rhodesian Diamond Company, her supplier and with whom she has a contract which required that she increase her sales and open new offices or lose her contract.
Assume proper jurisdiction of the subject matter, parties and venue. Discuss all civil procedure issues and give proper argument concerning motions made by Linda, Joanne and Barbara.
Discuss your answers in a very full narrative IRAC essay with much detail.

1. Proposed Legislation
Effective: July 14, 2018
KRS § 403.270
403.270 Custodial issues; best interests of child shall determine; rebuttable presumption that joint custody and equally shared parenting time is in child’s best interests; de facto custodian
Currentness
(1) (a) As used in this chapter and KRS 405.020, unless the context requires otherwise, “de facto custodian” means a person who has been shown by clear and convincing evidence to have been the primary caregiver for, and financial supporter of, a child who has resided with the person for a period of six (6) months or more if the child is under three (3) years of age and for a period of one (1) year or more if the child is three (3) years of age or older or has been placed by the Department for Community Based Services. Any period of time after a legal proceeding has been commenced by a parent seeking to regain custody of the child shall not be included in determining whether the child has resided with the person for the required minimum period.
(b) A person shall not be a de facto custodian until a court determines by clear and convincing evidence that the person meets the definition of de facto custodian established in paragraph (a) of this subsection. Once a court determines that a person meets the definition of de facto custodian, the court shall give the person the same standing in custody matters that is given to each parent under this section and KRS 403.280, 403.340, 403.350, 403.822, and 405.020.
(2) The court shall determine custody in accordance with the best interests of the child and equal consideration shall be given to each parent and to any de facto custodian. Subject to KRS 403.315, there shall be a presumption, rebuttable by a preponderance of evidence, that joint custody and equally shared parenting time is in the best interest of the child. If a deviation from equal parenting time is warranted, the court shall construct a parenting time schedule which maximizes the time each parent or de facto custodian has with the child and is consistent with ensuring the child's welfare. The court shall consider all relevant factors including:
(a) The wishes of the child's parent or parents, and any de facto custodian, as to his or her custody;
(b) The wishes of the child as to his or her custodian, with due consideration given to the influence a parent or de facto custodian may have over the child's wishes;
(c) The interaction and interrelationship of the child with his or her parent or parents, his or her siblings, and any other person who may significantly affect the child's best interests;
(d) The motivation of the adults participating in the custody proceeding;
(e) The child's adjustment and continuing proximity to his or her home, school, and community;
(f) The mental and physical health of all in.

Balanchine
George Balanchine is an important figure in the history of ballet as he was a major exponent of ballet in the US. He established the first school of American ballet in NYC with Lincoln Kirstein in 1934. Balanchine’s style has been called Neoclassical and the success of his NYC Ballet has spawned many regional companies in the US, including Miami City Ballet, keeping his repertory alive. Balanchine brought a new aesthetic to ballet, stripping away its sentimentality and bringing attention to the movement rather than the spectacle. He brought quick footwork, precision and musicality to classical ballet technique. He collaborated extensively with the composer Stravinsky. His work with the Ballet Russe in the early 20th century exposed Balanchine to the most prominent musical composers and visual artists of the period (i.e. Picasso, Matisse, etc.) which influenced his experimentation with abstraction in the form.
Ballet continues to evolve today. Traditional classical ballets such as Sleeping Beauty and Swan Lake are still performed today with the addition of more contemporary interpretations of the form. Some examples of contemporary ballet:
Modern Dance
Modern dance began as a departure from the restrictions of ballet and a desire to express a wider palette of the human experience. It emphasized the expression of emotion, the exploration of dynamics in the body and presented narratives in a more abstract manner. Some modern dance pioneers eventually developed their own codification and/or process for working. The postmodern dancers rejected codification of any kind as well as known methods for composition. They valued personal movement, innovative forms of performance and preferred abstraction over story telling.
Pioneers of Modern Dance
Isadora Duncan 1877-1927, believed movement should be drawn from nature and was inspired by Ancient Greece, wearing long toga-like robes in her performances. The Duncan technique was comprised of movements such as hopping, swinging, running, skipping and leaping; her desire was to free the body from the confines of ballet.
Ruth St Denis 1878-1968, was inspired by the dances of Asia, in addition to other culturally based forms. She is well known for her grand spectacles, creating a formal school/company. Her husband Ted Shawn was also a pioneer in modern dance who created an all male dance company in addition to performing with Ruth. Martha Graham was a student Ruth St. Denis and later became a member of her company.
Mary Wigman 1886-1973, was a German dancer/choreographer inspired by Expressionism, an artistic movement that emphasized raw emotions. She was a student of Rudolf Laban. In her famous Witch Dance, she went against traditional norms of female beauty in dance.

Rudolf Laban 1879-1958, is sometimes referred to as the father of German modern dance; he developed a system for notating dance called Labanotation in addition to developin.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

BackgroundThe idea of diverting water from the Sierra Nevada.docx
- 1. Background The idea of diverting water from the Sierra Nevada mountains to the Los Angeles area came to light after many years of harsh drought that affected southern California in the beginning of the 20th century. The city leaders wanted the growing town of Los Angeles to transform into a thriving metropolis of economic power but to support the influx of residents more water was needed. Construction of the California aqueduct began in 1908 frustrating residents of the Owens Valley (a valley composed of a few towns near the Owens River). These towns that sit to the east of the Sierra Nevada mountains and 200 miles away from Los Angeles slowly watched as land and water rights were bought out from under them. At the completion of construction of the aqueduct in 1913, the lush greenery of the land began to give way to desert-like conditions. The channel diverted water a total of 233 miles south to the Los Angeles area. The 1920s were termed the “water wars” due to the outrage the residents of the Owens Valley felt toward the aqueduct and on three separate occasions they blew up the channel. Also during this time one of the dams constructed to hold the water collapsed flooding many small towns and killing hundreds. The aqueduct was examined leading many to believe it would be the end of its use. Yet the channel was rerouted and extended to the Mono Basin Project or Mono Lake for a total water diversion of 338 miles. The situation at Mono Lake now has taken a turn for the worse causing the once thriving lake to shrink considerably. Directions
- 2. Using the background information above, your textbook, and performing outside research, you will post a defense ONLY for the position you have been assigned. If you were a citizen in the area, how would the building of the aqueduct affect you and your family? When responding to another classmate courteously state if you agree or disagree and your own justification. One student must be from the opposite town than you were assigned. For example, my last name is Cobb. I would write my post as a resident from Owens Valley and respond to a student from Los Angeles. My second response can be to a fellow Owens Valley resident or another student from Los Angeles. Make sure you write at least 10 meaningful, complete sentences and respond to TWO other students for full credit. Saying "I agree." or something similar is not considered a good, complete sentence! Please refer to the corresponding module page for more specific grading criteria. *Students with their last name beginning with the letters A through L will be residents of Owens Valley .
