But this year, the weather pattern known as La Niña caused abnormal drenchings that saturated the ground, setting off record flooding.
Its more modest goal now is simply to get off the ground: setting up bank accounts, re-establishing contacts in Iraq.
The dump, expected to cost $75 million, will be a concrete-lined hole in the ground set in nearly impermeable red clay, which is supposed to prevent the waste from contaminating underground water supplies.
In "Echoes of Hope for Those Still on the Ground," set to music by Sheila Chandra and Jurgen Knieper, she enlisted the writing of Peter Handke and Rainer Maria Rilke to suggest an entire life cycle on the stage.

These people are on the ground setting up care centers, training local staff, identifying Ebola cases and much more".
The online set cover problem was introduced by Alon et al. (2009) [2]: for a ground set of size n and a set family of m subsets of the ground set, we obtain bounds in both n and m.
The weights of elements of the ground set are uncertain; for each element, an uncertainty interval that contains its weight is given.
We present a polynomial O(n2) algorithm for the problem on a uniform matroid of rank p, where feasible solutions are subsets of cardinality p of the ground set.
