Old Saybrook

objective of this paper is, hence, to improve our understanding of how residents of coastal communities view coastal hazards and adaptation strategies. Data are drawn from a discrete choice experiment (DCE) of hazard mitigation in the town of Old Saybrook; a coastal community in the State of Connecticut, USA. The choice scenarios vary in terms of the size of protected or improved built and ecological assets in the community, which include homes, wetlands, beaches, seawalls and the associated

Routinely, I reread once more, “I noticed the ceiling first, how low it was,” I peered up looking at my ceiling, it was not very high like my old house and to be frank, I had not even noticed or put ceiling height into consideration when moving here (Adichie 113). I continued reading, “it was so unlike home, where the high ceilings gave our rooms an airy stillness” (113). The word “home” rung

Introduction Have you ever thought what it’s like to lead the life of an old. Maybe to find an answer, you need to visit an elder home or old age care centre. As the people get older, they tend to become someone who craves for the attention of others. They seem to be no less than children who at every instant need someone by their side. Perhaps it’s old who even leaves behind kids in that scenario. The only think that they seem to

For the sake of this study, Luke’s Gospel plays an important role in establishing the identity of the members of the community. Indeed, “without Luke’s Gospel our visual images of the Christian story would be impoverished” because “Luke’s Gospel [can be considered] the aesthetic teacher of Christian senses in hearing and speech through story and song and in sight through the many artistic renderings of his stories.” Luke accomplishes this feat by using cultural conventions surrounding hospitality

Progeria is the severe disease of the infirmed aging branch and is defined as a progressive genetic disorder that causes children to age rapidly, beginning in their first two years of life.

The Old Testament is the largest part of the bible nestled behind the leather binding in the front of the book. Unlike most books, told from one-person or even two this is comprised of multiple, some stories even having two different versions in another point of view; over time it has become a large collection of ancient texts written and re-written by different authors and editors over the many years.
