City block

A **city block** is a block of houses, in a built up area. Usually, it is delimited by roads, pathways, or by geographical features, such as a railway line or a river. It consists of several land lots which are directly next to each other, and usually privately owned.

A city block is a typical form of inner-city design. Commonly, multi-storey apartment buildings, semi-detatched houses, office blocks, or mixed-use houses make up the elements of a city block. As all the houses touch each other, this is known as a closed form.

In the suburbs, there is more space, and the buildings don't usually touch each other. This is known as an open form.

In Europe, cities have grown over centuries, and their layout is different from that of a planned city. As a result, the city block in a planned city also looks different.

## Origin

The design of city blocks started with the emergence of cities, in the Middle Ages. Medieval Hanseatic cities already used city blocks. The design can also be found in baroque inner cities, such as the Dutch Quarter in Potsdam. It is typical of absolutist urban development and the tenement districts of major German cities that were built after 1870 during the Wilhelminian era. In response to the housing shortage of the 1920s, housing associations built apartment blocks with large courtyards and small apartments. At the same time, however, city planners were also looking for alternatives to the perimeter block development that was common at the time. What they did was build blocks perpendicular to the road; they would then build footpaths as access. This has the benefit that all apartments get the same amount of sunshine. It has the drawback, that larger arrangements look monontonus.This kind of city planning was widespread during the reconstruction of Germany after the Second World War, in the 1950s and 1960s. Another benefit of this model is that neighborhoods have a better airflow.

During the Middle Ages, city blocks were often simply chaining buildings, in an unplanned way.

Even in antiquity , there were planned cities. Examples of this are the city of Miletus, or the model of a Roman city, which both used a regular grid layout. During the Baroque era, citty planning was common: Cities were planned with big geometric layouts, later they were divided into different land lots, before being built.

City blocks are also used for collecting statistical data on the population structure . When visualizing 3D city models, people oftenuse  simplified solid bodies that are supposed to correspond to _the real building blocks._

Tiny house

A **tiny house**, also known as a **tiny home**, is a type of house that is very small (up to 37 square metres or 400 sq ft).

Tiny houses can stand on a fixed place, but they can also be mobile. For example, a tiny house with wheels can be transported. They may also solve other kinds of problems. They may be a way for older children to have independence, yet also stay near their parents. Sometimes the family home is too small for children to have their own bedroom. A tiny house built in the grounds of a regular property may be the solution to allowing independence whilst keeping a degree of parental supervision.

## History

The tiny house movement originated in the United States.

Tiny houses gained more attention after the Great Recession, when houses became very expensive in many places.

## Media

The tiny house movement has inspired many reality television series:

- Mighty Tiny Houses (HGTV)
- Terrific Tiny Homes (DIY)
- Tiny House, Big Living (HGTV)
- Tiny House Builders (HGTV)
- Tiny House Hunters (HGTV)
- Tiny House Hunting (FYI)

1953 Flint–Beecher tornado

On Monday, June 8, 1953, a powerful F5 tornado went right across the city of Flint, Michigan and its suburb Beecher. The latter city had 113–114 people dead after the severe tornado. Before the 2011 Joplin tornado in Joplin, Missouri, it was the final tornado that led to triple-digit death tolls in the United States.

## Related tornadoes

Other tornadoes also hit lower Michigan and northern Ohio. The overall outbreak killed 116 or 117 in Michigan alone. Affected states also included Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin, New York, and Massachusetts.

The overall people who died from June 6 through 9 was 247 (some reports mention higher numbers). The full damage went beyond $340 million (1953 USD; almost $3.3 billion 2021 USD). Michigan's deaths alone were 125. Others were killed across Nebraska, northern Ohio and east-central Massachusetts (mostly around Worcester). The Massachusetts tornado was its most expensive (costing $53 million) before 1979.

## Early Life

Lyda Conley was born in 1869. She was a member of the Wayandotte Tribe. She lived in Wyandotte County, Kansas. Her mother, Eliza Burton Zane Conley, was a member of the Wyandotte Tribe. Her mother was a descendant of Chief Andrew Conley. Her mother and her grandmother, Hannah Zane, were buried in the Huron cemetery.

Her father, Andrew Serenes Conley, was from New York. He met and married Conley's mother in Ohio. They moved to Kansas with the Wyandotte Tribe.

The Wyandotte Tribe was from Ohio. The US government forced the Wyandotte to give up their land in 1842. They were forced to move to Kansas. They were forced to a reservation on land bought from the Lenape peoples. The new Wyandot land was protected by treaty with the federal government.

Eliza Burton Conley had three sisters. Two of her sisters were Helena (Lena) Gros Conley and Ida Conley. They helped her defend the graves of their family and ancestors at Huron Cemetery in Kansas City.

## Career

Eliza Burton Conley graduated from the Kansas City School of Law in 1902. She went to law school because the government threatened to sell her tribe's cemetery.

Conley was admitted into the Missouri Bar Association in 1902. and Kansas Bar Association in 1910. She became the first female lawyer of Indian descent.

She was the first Native American to argue in front of the Supreme Court. She argued that the federal government had a duty to protect Native American burial sites.

### Huron cemetery case

The United States government guaranteed the protection of the Wyandotte Tribe's Huron Cemetery in a treaty. The treaty was written in 1855. In 1890 the government broke the treaty. The government was going to sell the land to businesses. The government also wanted to remove the bodies from the cemetery. Congress approved the sale of the land in 1906. Conley asked the court to stop the government from selling the land.

Conley and two of her sisters defended the Huron Cemetery from 1907 to 1910. They built a shack to live in. Her sister guarded the fort while Conley fought off intruders. Conley studied law books to prepare herself for cases while defending the cemetery. In 1910 the Supreme Court decided Congress could sell the land.

The public was mad. They scared away anyone who wanted to buy the land. Conley and her sisters stopped the sale of the land. She kept fighting to save it until she died. It is now protected. The cemetery is on the National Register of Historic Places.

## Death

Eliza Burton Conley died when she was 72, on May 28th, 1946. Her burial was on May 31, 1946.
