This money was important because the economy in Russia was poor at the time; bearing in mind there was a huge number of peasants and very few working class people at the time may suggest a reason for this. Russia's biggest produce was grain. This was the most important factor in my opinion, as without this money, Witte wouldn't have been able to implement any of his ideas. The second area was state sponsored development of heavy industry. Witte believed that heavy industry was the way forward, because he thought that light industry and agriculture could both benefit from this boost.
Culture of the Nestilik Inuit of the Arctic Teketa Gossett ANT101: Culture Anthropology Benjamin Wright 1-13-2013 Culture of the Nestilik Inuit of the Arctic Kinship Systems in Foraging and Horticultural based societies provide support for people in all stages of their life. The Inuit the Arctic live in the Arctic regions of the world. There is little together during the Arctic’s long winter, the Inuit men hunting activities provide nearly all the food and other material items the people need. In the summer, berries, and roots supplement their diets. (Sect 3.2).
Magnitude of the Problem: Steel production, bulk goods transport, commercial and sport fisheries, agriculture, recreation and tourism are the main industries that encompass the economic capacity of the great lakes. On an average year large ships move 165 million net tons of bulk cargo throughout the lakes. Iron ore, coal and potash are the predominant minerals shipped within the water ways (Wikipedia, 2010). This industry alone provides 138,000 jobs to U.S. citizens and thousands more for Canadians. In addition to all of the commercial traffic there is an estimated 4.3 million recreational vessels in the basin as a result of tourist attractions and fishing (Great Lakes Boating, 2009).
The country was growing quickly, but that growth was primarily based on what advantages were most available in each location. In all of the criteria mentioned above, few states were as likely to enjoy significant status and success as Ohio. On one level, ore was plentiful, and mining was destined to become a massive industry in this entire region of the Northeast, away from the coast and bordering the Appalachian Mountains. Then, the Ohio River, created by the joining of the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers, provides excellent transportation of goods to East and West by water, which was largely responsible for the wealth of Pittsburgh's steel trade for centuries. As for being a focal point, the state of Ohio was and remains perfectly situated between the great urban centers of Chicago and New York, and was a central source of building materials as the two cities competed in expansion in the 19th century.

Pre industrial period: * Canada developed the economy based on the exploitation of the natural staple commodities: raw materials, such as fish, fur, lumber, agricultural products and minerals that were exported to Europe led to the creation of institutions that defined the political culture of the nation and its regions. * In Central Canada, the main staple was fur, and the fur trade dominated the economy for many years. This fur trade was controlled by large firms * Work for most people is related to the production of life’s staples. * Independent workers—farmers, own their lands, properties, products used for their own and sold to the nearby town or villages. * Traditional farmers worked as seasonal farmer because the
BUSINESS PLAN ASSIGNMENT Overview and Mission : * Most of the maple syrup in North America is produced in Vermont, Upstate New York and southern Ontario and Quebec. Our maple syrup farm located on the outskirts of Elmira, upstate New York. * The production of maple syrup is a very labour intensive process. From approximately 40 gallons of maple sap, 1 gallon of maple syrup can be obtained. This is okay, as this down trodden economy has decreased the wage rate as the demand for jobs increase.
Two thirds of the fresh water is locked up in glaciers, leaving only 1% of the earth's water for human consumption (The World Water Organization). Global warming, urbanization and increasing demand have posed challenges for the quality and availability of drinking water globally and in the U.S. as well. The U.S. has one of the safest public drinking water system. There are around 60,000 Community Water Systems (CWS) serving 300.2 million people. In addition, there are over 100,000 Transient and Non-transient Non CWS serving 20 million people (EPA).
Polar bears are the most popular animal that lives there. But, penguins rule the southern end of the planet. There are up to 20 species of penguins. Most animals have a thick layer of blubber or fat so they can survive the subzero temperatures. The polar ice regions are
When people live along the coastline this becomes known as a coastal shelf. The most densely populated areas are; the south, south east and the north east. In the south there is an average of 43.64 people per km2 (.64 is irrelevant) and the north east has an average population density of 30.68 people per km2. On average the south east has 78.35 people per km2, and Rio de Janeiro has the highest population density of 329.67 people per km2. [IMAGE] Cities like Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro have up to and over 85 people per square kilometre.
