The characteristics and impacts of Hurricane Katrina along the Gulf Coast of the United States, and in New Orleans in particular, are illustrative of this intersection of geographical themes. In this regard, natural hazards research has made tremendous progress, moving from almost exclusive concern with natural phenomena and technological fixes to one that recognizes processes of the human-use system, and specifically the complex web of social, political, and economic forces that exacerbate or attenuate the impacts of events. This has led us to the following conclusions:<br /><br />1. Disasters are ubiquitous, and spatial patterns of particular events are generally well addressed and understood.<br /><br />2. Risk or exposure to hazard is well defined though not always acted upon since preparation and mitigation strategies are usually limited.<br /><br />3. The temporal and spatial scales of events must both be evaluated in order to develop a comprehensive understanding of hazards and disaster.<br /><br />4. Disasters involve a complex web of factors, including physical processes and human elements; social, economic, and political forces in various forms and at local, national, and international levels interact with the geophysical world to exacerbate or attenuate hazardous conditions.<br /><br />5.

"content": "Back in 1968, Stanford Professor Paul Erlich prefaced his non-fiction best-seller, The Population Bomb, by saying, “The battle to feed all of humanity is over. In the 1970s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now. At this late date nothing can prevent a substantial increase in the world death rate…”<br /><br />Back when he wrote the book, the global population was around 3.5 billion people. Right now, we’re at around 7.7 billion — and climbing — but somehow we’ve managed to avoid the Malthusian Catastrophe that Erlich predicted.<br /><br />Critics of his doomsday prophecy typically cite advances in technology — such as the green revolution in the late 60’s — as increasing the production of food enough to avoid global famine. Technology can’t solve every problem, though, and as population continues to increase, it will stretch the Earth’s global carrying capacity to the breaking point.<br /><br />Victims Of Our Own Success<br />So how did we get here? Overpopulation is a crisis driven by advances in farming, medicine, and technology over the last century that have reduced mortality rates worldwide, while eliminating natural population controls like starvation & plagues. According to Vox:<br /><br />“The current global population has crossed 7.5 billion and is heading upward. The latest UN projections have it hitting 8.6 billion by 2030, 9.8 billion by 2050, and 11.2 billion by 2100. Average fertility rate will decrease, but that effect will be overwhelmed by the absolute numbers.”<br /><br />No one can ethically argue that war, starvation or disease are good things — and yet these effectively served as positive population checks for millenia. Our very success in improving our lives on this planet has led to overpopulation as an unintended side-effect.<br /><br />Where’s It End<br /><br />Where will human population peak before it begins to fall?

"content": "Back in 1968, Stanford Professor Paul Erlich prefaced his non-fiction best-seller, The Population Bomb, by saying, “The battle to feed all of humanity is over. In the 1970s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now. At this late date nothing can prevent a substantial increase in the world death rate…”\n\nBack when he wrote the book, the global population was around 3.5 billion people. Right now, we’re at around 7.7 billion — and climbing — but somehow we’ve managed to avoid the Malthusian Catastrophe that Erlich predicted.\n\nCritics of his doomsday prophecy typically cite advances in technology — such as the green revolution in the late 60’s — as increasing the production of food enough to avoid global famine. Technology can’t solve every problem, though, and as population continues to increase, it will stretch the Earth’s global carrying capacity to the breaking point.\n\nVictims Of Our Own Success\nSo how did we get here? Overpopulation is a crisis driven by advances in farming, medicine, and technology over the last century that have reduced mortality rates worldwide, while eliminating natural population controls like starvation & plagues. According to Vox:\n\n“The current global population has crossed 7.5 billion and is heading upward. The latest UN projections have it hitting 8.6 billion by 2030, 9.8 billion by 2050, and 11.2 billion by 2100. Average fertility rate will decrease, but that effect will be overwhelmed by the absolute numbers.”\n\nNo one can ethically argue that war, starvation or disease are good things — and yet these effectively served as positive population checks for millenia. Our very success in improving our lives on this planet has led to overpopulation as an unintended side-effect.\n\nWhere’s It End\n\nWhere will human population peak before it begins to fall? The United Nations estimates a peak population in 2100 of 11.2 billion people, but others, such as the Norwegian climatologist Jørgen Randers, see the population peaking sooner at a much lower number — only 8 billion people with a peak in 2040.\n\nAfter the peak, the overall population will begin to decline, and if that trend becomes the new norm, in a century perhaps all countries will be paying people to have children like city of Nagi-cho in Japan currently does.\n\nWhile underpopulation is a welcome solution to the promised apocalypse of runaway overpopulation, it brings its own set of issues, including the overall aging of the population and a shrinking workforce & tax-base that can lead to economic stagnation.\n\nStill, tax woes are far more welcome than running out of global resources & starving to death, and it’s far more palatable to pay people to have children than restrict them from having them.",

The hip-hop icon is set to star in Paramount’s upcoming film “Assisted Living.”<br /><br />“Assisted Living” is being described as a “raucous comedy” with “tremendous heart,” in the vein of classic funny films like “Tootsie,” “Sister Act” and “Mrs. Doubtfire.” It follows Amber (Cardi B), a small-time crook who finds herself in over her head when a heist goes wrong. On the run from the cops and her former crew, she struggles to find anywhere to hide. Running out of options, Amber disguises herself as an elderly woman and hides out in the one place no one will look — her estranged grandmother’s nursing home.<br /><br /><br />Paramount won rights to “Assisted Living” in a competitive bidding war in spring of 2019. The film is based on an original spec script by Kay Oyegun, a writer for “This Is Us.” Temple Hill and Stephen Love are producing.<br /><br />Cardi B, the Grammy-winning artist behind hits like “Bodak Yellow,” “I Like It” and “WAP,” made her feature film debut opposite Jennifer Lopez, Constance Wu and Keke Palmer in “Hustlers,” the 2019 crime drama about strippers who turn the tables on their wealthy Wall Street clientele. She also secured a role in “F9,” the next entry in Universal’s “Fast & Furious” franchise.<br /><br />The rapper got her start on the VH1 reality show “Love and Hip-Hop,” which she appeared on from 2015 to 2017. Her first album, “Invasion of Privacy,” was released in 2018 and has been certified triple-platinum.<br /><br />On the television front, Cardi B served as a judge on Netflix’s unscripted music competition series “Rhythm + Flow.” Cardi, who headlined the series with Chance the Rapper and T.I., also executive produced the show.<br /><br />",
