For example, there were no longer any engineers left who knew how to build or maintain aqueducts. This meant that when these structures broke they couldn’t be fixed, and so over time there was less provision for clean water. The local population used the stone from the bath houses and other structures to build their own homes as there was less emphasis on public health. The new rulers of Britain did not think it was as important as the Romans had. By 1350 there were some quite serious public health problems in towns, where the lack of fresh water and drainage was a problem which caused the water to be contaminated by other sources and was not healthy to drink.
The Articles of Confederation was the first government established to run the United States. However, it failed to do so in a number of areas. Under The Articles of Confederation, each state had its own currency. This caused problems because each time someone crossed over into another state, they had to change their currency. This made it difficult to conduct business from state to state.
WW1 ends – The ending of WW1 meant that the European countries were able to meet their own demands and therefore did not need any more supplies from America. Farmers suffered from overproduction and could not afford to keep their homes or pay mortgages, some farmers even decided to become sharecroppers. In 1924, 600,000 farmers went bankrupt. Also, there was stiff competition from Canadian, Australian and Argentinean farmers who were selling vast amounts of grain to the world market. Over-production – Fewer products such as cars, consumer good etc were not being sold as factories were making more goods than Americans needed or could afford to buy.
Plus I say the book was very long, not that it was like a million pages, but I think it didn’t have that much action to speed it up, overall I would say to swap out Johnny Tremain with an amazing book called The Cay by Theodore Taylor. First I would say that Johnny Tremain was way to political not that I don’t become interested in that stuff I just don’t think that politics should take over 95% of the book. Another thing I did not like about this book was its past time vocabulary. Since it is an old book a lot of that vocabulary we do not even use any more. These are reasons why I think you should use a more modern book next year like The Cay.
Prior too many critical inventions the processes to which America operated under changed little since the colonial era. Most roads were no more than rutted paths through woods and provided little help for transportation. Transporting goods thirty miles by road cost the
This was time consuming and they were concerned that it detracted from their core duties as clinical services providers as they were not end customer might not be receiving the full service. In addition…. NHS was operating fairly independent as a business unit as they were not sharing information and individual purchasers were not able to manage the supply market in any way for example each ambulance trust in the country was buying their ambulance to their own specification and making individual contracts with supplier ambulance. Every trust had a slightly different specification. Ordering was not consistent and the pattern of this procedure was that the trust were making their order either the start of the financial year when budget became available or at the end of the financial year when budget were being cleared out so it seemed that there was demand only two months of the year.
Eratosthenes and the circumference of the earth Determining the distance between Alexandria and Syene wasn’t an easy task for Eratosthenes because at that time he didn’t have any measurement tools like the hodometer which was used by the Romans that can measure how much the wagon had traveled. It was also merely impossible for him to count how many steps it would take him to walk from Alexandria to Syene (Nicastro, 2008). Trigonometry could have made the whole process easier; however, that was impossible because “it wasn’t invented until well after his death” (Nicastro, 2008, p.115). Even after all these struggle, Eratosthenes did find a way to measure the distance between Alexandria and Syene. Kline (1972) concludes that Eratosthenes guesstimated the distance between Alexandria and Syene using the knowledge: how long it took the camel trains to reach to Syene and his final answer was 5000 stadia.
CJS 101 Margaret Callahan POLICING COMPONENT PAGE 1 The evolution of American policing began when early Europeans first arrived in America. They were surprised by the lack of organized law enforcement. After things got fairly well settled the job of maintaining order in the new colonies was given to Justices of the Peace. As the colonies changed into cities the Justice of the Peace system was not enough and it became time for an organized and salaried policeman. (THERE WERE NO POLICEWOMEN AT THIS TIME).
No power over interstate and foreign commerce 6. Little coordination over trade (and competition among states) meant it was difficult for the nation's economy to prosper as a whole. 7. No uniform currency 8. States coined their own money and regulated its supply, so values of currency varied from state to state.
In fact the Northern parts of the U.S. the asphalt plants shut down all together between November and March. It’s simply not economical for them to operate because so few customers can use their product in those months. Even trucks that are specially equipped with heated compartments can only reach so many potholes in the course of a work day to fix the
