What happens if a hurricane occurs before or during your trip do they still close the parks?
I have worked through many tropical storms and Hurricanes. If the threat shows the track going over the theme parks then they will close for safety reasons. If you are staying at their resorts they will compensate your stay some what but not much. They will try and keep amenities for food open but that's all. It usually has lasted only a night but on occasion it was 2 days. Then the parks are yours and the lines are usually a walk on, everywhere. I love going after a storm because of that. Rain is the biggest hurdle so take a poncho. The airports are worse because they will close long before we do at the parks and wont open as quickly. The restaurants and hotels usually have short term closures as well. When the storm is here everything is closed by about 6 hours before it hits land and then another 6 after it leaves. So a 24 hour period of nothing going on is the worse, but you do get bragging rights to surviving a hurricane!

GANGRENE IS NOT something you are exposed to or that you catch. Rather, it is a condition of your skin tissue. Actually, it is DEAD tissue, caused by lack of blood circulation. In one particular situation, DIABETES that is not treated or managed, causes lack of circulation to the extremeties. When the tissue lacks oxygen, the tissue dies and starts to rot. That is why they have to AMPUTATE; to get rid of the dead tissue.

Yes, it is technically possible to add a turbocharger to a carbureted engine like your 1987 Toyota pickup. However, it would require additional modifications such as an appropriate fuel delivery system to ensure proper air-fuel mixture and prevent engine damage. Consulting with a professional mechanic who has experience with turbocharging carbureted engines is recommended.
How did Hurricane Katrina affect New Orleans?
Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans in August 2005 . The effects on the people were devastating . The main effect of the Hurricane for the people was that their homes and businesses were destroyed . This forced the people onto the streets as they had no alternative . Coupled with this, food and fresh water was scarce so people were forced to the streets which resulted in violence, racial aggression, theft and murder . People were continuously dying due to water born diseases like cholera and dysentery . Families were separated and the city of New Orleans was completely ruined . This ruined New Orleans' predominant tourist industry and lead to people searching for jobs outside Louisiana
no itts not right for people to lose their homes because its not giving them the chance to pay the morgage no itts not right for people to lose their homes because its not giving them the chance to pay the morgage
Race and economics definitely played a part in the lack of response before and after the hurricane.
The majority of people living in the area have little or not transportation and live well below the national poverty line.
Although there is plenty of blame to go around, the ineptness of the federal government only strengthens the argument that this country is not prepared for a national disaster of any kind man-made or natural.
What happened in New Orleans would never been allowed to happen in Miami, Ft.Lauderdale or anywhere the rich and influential reside.
AnswerI am the person who posted this question and I'd like to thank you for your replies and agree with all of you. I am Canadian and have been following this particular subject. I do believe it is a racist issue. True, the Mayor of New Orleans did little to improve the situation for evacuation due to any catastrophe mother nature had to throw at them, but I do admire him for saying it like it was after Katrina. It was obvious Katrina was more than he bargained for and he was certainly not mentally prepared for it, but he did care. Most of us don't realize that little funding was given towards this project in New Orleans and that graft is everywhere there. Everyone knows that New Orleans is below sea level and the levees were not repaired or heightened, but I doubt that would have done the job anyway. The mayor announced in the program I watched that he couldn't get enough drivers for the many buses that could have helped evacuate. Why did it take FEMA 5 days to get to those people? I don't blame FEMA as much as the Bush Administration! Bush even flew over the devastated area (as usual) and did little else. Sorry to say, but this man looks like he's been struck by a cattle prod or he has a look of arrogance that he is God and will decide who should live and die. That's the impression many of us Canadians see.I have since learned that although FEMA was small in stature it was quite the organization and had money for this type of problem. Then Bush had a buddy come in to slash back on different projects that were not needed and since few natural disasters had not occured at that time there was a complacent attitude. FEMA was added to the list along with much larger program cuts and lost in the shuffle and major cutbacks were made because it was concluded that FEMA was indeed bulging at the seams with a cache of money that could be used elsewhere.
I saw the program on New Orleans and the pitiful sights of dying children and the elderly not to mention the fear and terror in those people's eyes. It leaves me feeling sick inside to realize that any government could look at those pictures and then look at themselves in the mirror every morning. When a catastrophe such as this occurs in any country other countries come to their aid. Canada and other countries sent water, clothing, medical supplies and money so where did these go?
I not only think it was a racist occurrence, but genocide! What are the American people doing about this? If the government has committed a crime against these people who will be next! Canadians here are ticked right off (we have our own problems here as well) and many have written to the White House expecting answers. There is far too much of this genocide effect going on in this world (also in other countries) and the last time I looked the majority were the poor and black people. Remember "Africa .. the forgotten country!" The poor in general whether black or white get the short end of the stick. Time to change! The U.S. and Canada are wealthy countries no matter what our governments tell us. Just look at the taxes they charge us (do the math) and natural resources we each have.
In British Columbia we have little to no preparations for natural disasters because our province has little to worry about on a general basis and has become just too laid back. We get lots of rain here at times and some high winds, but nothing compared to what other parts of the world are dealing with. We are forcing our government to prepare better evacuation methods and give info where shelters would be for a natural disaster that could hit us at any time. Unlike the U.S., Canada is smaller and we have very little Army left (cutbacks) to help keep control during a natural disaster. We have a range of mountains in British Columbia that if one goes off it could cause a chain reaction and we are dealing with a "ring of fire." The people here realize that we can't go on forever expecting that a natural disaster won't occur. It has been predicted that sometime in the near future (so scientist say) we will be facing a Tsunami of our own and it will wipe out our Islands (such as Victoria, Sydney, etc.) and Vancouver, B.C. is not prepared. Yes, I blame governments.
Could the Holocaust have been prevented?
After the end of WW1, the league of nations could have imposed more reasonable sanctions against Germany and actually have followed through with their requirements that Germany not be allowed to rebuild a military. Those two things would have most certainly avoided the Holocaust.
First, more reasonable sanctions would have allowed Germany to actually provide for the financial needs of it's citizens. Unhappy citizens ended up following a mad-man who promised to make things better. His proposed methods were extreme, but Germans believed that extreme methods were required in such an unacceptable economic environment.
Second, if the league of nations would have actually followed through and prevented the buildup of the German military, Hitler would not have been able to gain any credibility regarding the promises about taking over Europe.
CommentThe above is off topic. It is about how World War 2 in Europe might have been prevented and doesn't specifically relate to the Holocaust.Once the war was under way, stopping the Holocaust was extremely difficult.
SPEAK UP! "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." -Margaret Mead
Denmark proves that an active resistence by a nation was a viable option.
___
The Danes did not engage in 'active resisteance'; moved most of the Danish Jews to safety ... They did not 'stop the Holocaust'. In any case this kind of thing was easier in Denmark than in most other countries. The Danish government was semi-collaborationist until 1943 and the Danish population had an easier time under Nazi rule than, for example. the Poles.
If the Germans weren't sheep and realized they were being fooled it wouldn't have happened.
___The Holocaust took place very largely in a region that was far removed from the Allies for most of World War 2 - Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Belarus ...
The above comment ('If the Germans weren't sheep ... ') is monumentally insulting about ordinary Germans. If they were fooled, then they didn't didn't know what was going on. It also displays a complete failure to understand what life is like in a police state.
Ordinary Germans were not informed about the genocide, and the Nazi regime went to considerable lengths to keep the Holocaust secret ... Obviously, word got out and many in Germany had some idea of what was happening, but very little detail.
____
There is no clear cut answer to this question.
Yes:
- the German citizens appeared to do nothing, but that is because they feared for their own life if they refused.
- the Allies could have got a move on and pushed into Germany quicker
- the US could have pulled the finger out BEFORE Pearl Harbour and done something more substantial in the European Campaign.
However, this is all with the luxury of hindsight! At the time, little was really known about the sheer scale of deaths of the Jews, Romanies (Gypsies) and other victims of the Nazi Regime. his is just a brief summary of points really. The main point that you need to know in answering this question is, WE have the luxury of hindsight! We can see NOW the things that the leaders/citizens should have done to prevent these atrocities, but remember, there was a different mindset and set of ideas all of 60 years ago. Read into the ideas of politicians at the time, not just on what has been written since.
___
In concrete terms, it is very hard to envisage what 'prevention' would have looked like. A roar of disapproval from Congress would not have prevented the Holocaust.
How could a 2000 Dodge Caravan have been stolen if they did not tow it or have a key?
Possible scenarios include the thief using a spare key, picking the lock, or using a keyless hacking device to gain entry and start the vehicle. It's also possible that the vehicle was left unlocked with the key inside, making it an easy target for theft.
An HO3 policy typically includes cost of replacement. However, that does not mean that the entire roof will be replaced just because there is a damaged part.
An HO3 policy will cover the cost of repairs up to full replacement of the entire roof if it is unrepairable. If the roof can be repaired then that's what the company will do.
AnswerThe coverage depends on the insurance policy that is purchased. All HO3's are not equal. This should be discussed with the local insurance agent. AnswerInsurance claims are negotiations and each home owner and adjuster does not negotiate equally. It's up to the homeowner to get educated on their rights and demand coverage based on those rights.Why did Savage punch Hogan in the eye before WrestleMania IX?
Two days before WrestleMania IX, Hulk Hogan was injured in a jet-ski accident. That explains the shiner he had when he wrestled at WrestleMania IX. WWE claims a jet ski accident. Other resources say it was Savage who punched him. The story behind that was that Hogan and Savage's wife, Elizabeth, had been having an affair. Now WWE tried to do a storyline like this before and it worked with the crowd but in REAL life it led to an actual affair. Savage, who at the time was great friends with Hogan, found out about it. Both Hogan and Savage worked things out. But apparently the affair continued and Savage ended up giving Hogan a black eye before WMIX. Savage and Elizabeth divorced after 9 years of marriage. But WWE and most claim it was a jet ski accident. I guess you just need to ask them for the real answer. Mr. Hounderz in hogans book he said it was a jet ski, he lied so the athletic commissoner would let him wrestle

How many black people died in hurricane Katrina?
According to a study conducted by the U.S. government, out of the 1,170 fatalities directly attributed to Hurricane Katrina, approximately 68% were African American. However, it's important to note that these numbers may not precisely reflect the total number of black people who died as a result of the hurricane, as some records may be incomplete or inaccurate.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is responsible for disaster planning and relief within the US. At the time of Hurricane Katrina, FEMA was under the jurisdiction of the Department of Homeland Security. The response to Hurricane Katrina highlighted significant failures and shortcomings in FEMA's ability to effectively respond to the disaster.
Ants are strong because they are small...if an ant was the size of a human, it wouldn't be able to breathe (no lungs...insects breath via tubes that bring air directly into their bodies) and probably wouldn't be able to move. As an animal gets bigger, its mass increases faster than its strength. If you were the size of an ant, you might be even stronger. Of course, since ants have an exoskeleton, with their supports (bones) on the outside, their muscles attach differently than ours--our bones are on the inside.
