I'm doing a group math project exploring spherical geometry. My group is working on what sorts of geometries are possible if you had multiple spheres with a portal between them. I began to wonder if there were some reason why when moving from one sphere to another a geodesic on one sphere would become a curve on the other. Is there anything similar anybody can think of, or any helpful resources you smart guys can point me toward?
i watched hours of news, and was struck by one thing house after house right up next to hillsides did not have brush cleared, surrounded by trees and scrubs, no tile roofs, no fire truck access. then there are other communities spared because they were built and maintained with brush fires in mind. People just buy the houses, then don't zone it, they don't build it, they don't' insure it. People who live there and are not prepared for brush fires is just stupid. Everyone should be prepared for a fire, regardless of where you live. You should have a fire extinguisher in the kitchen, working smoke detectors, an escape plan. My brother's house burned to the ground from a kitchen fire. It took the FD 20 minutes to arrive, in that short time, the house was gone. just like our earthquake preparedness kits, we should think about a much more likely possibility.
Let's see, there are earthquakes, mudslides, fires, smog and drought conditions but they continue to build? Sounds to me like the developers need to be rained in. Where I live we put an end to urban sprawl and insist that there be green spaces between cities. Can't for the life of me understand wanting to live in Cali with all that. sure the weather's good but it almost seems like nature is trying to tell you folks something. When do you suppose you might take a listen?
I see where you are going with this, but this isn't like the people who build in a flood plain or 2 feet from the ocean. Shrubery growsYou could buy a house and several years later the adjoining land is covered up with burnable brush. It's a clearance problem..and it is a continuous and on going problem
There are certainly things you can do to lessen the risk of fire. Use of better fire-resistant materials, for instance. Keeping dry grass/brush cleared away from your house is another. Even then, there's always a chance of something bad happening. There is no 100% safe place to live. Fire and flood are two common problems. There's also earthquakes, mudslides, sinkholes, avalanches, tornadoes, hurricanes, tsunamis, high winds, hail, thunderbolts, and lightening.
If the insurance company damaged your home, then you can sue the insurance company for damaging your home. If, as seems more likely, the tenants caused the fire either deliberately or through negligence, then you can sue the tenants. If the fire was an ordinary accidental fire, not caused by negligence, then file a claim with your own insurance company.
