...Why Was Charles Town Hard to Settle? Did you know before Charleston was a major place in South Carolina it was just a settlement called Charles Town that only had a few places to live? The Spanish had the first attempt at settling in Charles Town. They did not succeed because they made the Native tribes angry in doing so. Because of that they ended up not settling there, but instead the English did. When the English settled, the Natives were a little bit calmer. There are many reasons that Charles Town was hard to settle. Three of the reasons were, disease, Natives, land and maps, and wildlife and resources. These all affected how and why it was difficult to settle in Charles Town. The first reason Charles Town was hard to settle was because of the land and maps. The reason for this is that the maps were not exact. Also, the land was surrounded by marsh and water which is hard to build a settlement on. The maps were not trustworthy because according to Doc.

...The Difficulties Settling Charles Town Have you ever moved before? Well when the English wanted to move they moved across the Atlantic Ocean. But, when they moved there were a couple of difficulties. They faced difficulties with geography, resources, and diseases. When you moved I bet you didn’t have problems with the geography or not having enough resources to build a house. So why was Charles Town difficult to settle? Settle means to move to another place and live there. When the English went to settle Charles Town they had problems with the geography. The maps back then were very hard to read. So when the settlers tried to read them they might have gotten lost. If the settlers didn’t read the map right they probably didn’t see that...

...Issues While Settling in Charles Town Settling is the action of where people establish a community. In 1521, Francisco Gordillo sailed from Spain to Carolina coast. It is believed that he never tried to create a settlement, but only angered a Native American tribe and sold them into slavery. Later Lucas Vásquez de Ayllón led a group of 600 settlers to the Carolina coast again. Weather, disease, low food supplies, and unfriendly natives doomed them from the beginning. When Lucas Vasquez de Ayllón died, the settlers had left within six months. These issues that drove out the settlers, is why Charles Town was difficult to settle. One example that made Charles Town difficult to settle was the geography. The geography made it hard to settle because...

...medicine Exam practice question 1 (page 17) The Romans believed that disease was caused by an imbalance in the Four Humours. They believed that the body was made up of black bile, yellow bile, blood and phlegm, and that too much or not enough of one of these would cause illness. A fever, for example, showed that you had too much blood. This belief was developed by Galen from the work of Hippocrates, an Ancient Greek doctor. The Romans also believed that bad air could cause disease. They thought it was important to build cities and settlements away from swamps and marshes. This would have helped them avoid diseases like malarias which were caused by mosquitoes, but they didn’t understand why. The Romans also believed that dirt and sedentary lifestyles caused disease, because they encouraged the population to bathe regularly and exercise in the bath house. However, they would not have understood why this kept people healthy. Exam practice question 2 (page 18) In some ways the influence of Hippocrates on Roman medicine was extremely important. Hippocrates’s teachings included the theory of the four humours, which taught that the body was made up of four elements and too much of one of these would cause illness. He also taught the importance of clinical observation: watching a patient very carefully and keeping detailed notes of their symptoms and how their illness progressed. This was very important in Roman medicine because both of these theories were used by Galen...

..." Topic * India Cricket A Test match lasts five days and, if it goes the distance, 2,700 legal deliveries are bowled through that period. In one-day internationals (ODIs), it is 600 balls, and in Twenty20 (T20) the number is 240. If someone could get a cricketer to fix just five or six balls in a match, they could collect huge gambling profits without anyone noticing. And the possibilities for fixes are almost endless. Before the match Bets are taken on predicting the playing squad, and fixers have allegedly prevailed upon players to pull out minutes before the start of a game. The toss comes next, and, in the past, a corrupt captain could fix even that, by quickly picking up the coin and congratulating the opposing captain on his "winning" the toss. Bets can also be placed on who will open the batting and from which ends, and on who is going to bowl the first over. Such decisions are somewhat random and therefore fixes are hard to detect. During the match Punters can wager on any event and on every ball. Examples: how many runs a batsman will score; if he will hit the next ball for a six, four, single or simply pat it back to the bowler; the mode of his dismissal; which bowler is going to get him out; or when a bowler will deliver a no-ball or wide. "The odds of a batsman getting out hit-wicket are as high as 80 to one," a Mumbai bookmaker said. "So imagine the money to be made if a punter or bookmaker could convince a batsman to get out in that mode." The same...

Development to Decolonization by Greenwood R, Macmillan, 1987 4.Caribbean people Bk.I by Lennox Honeychurch. Nelson, 1979 The Migration of the Indians to the New World. It is believed that the people who Columbus saw when he came to the New World were nomadic hunters from central and East Asia who followed the buffalo and deer. When the herds moved, people moved after them because they were dependent on the animals for food. It is therefore suspected that the herds led the people out of Asia by the north-east, across the Bering Strait and into North America. They crossed the sea by an ice –bridge when it was frozen over during the last Ice-Age. They did not know that they were crossing water from one continent to another. Map 1 Amerindians migration from central Asia into North America. The Amerindians settled throughout North America and were the ancestors of the many Red Indian tribes we know today, as well as the Eskimos in the far north. In general, they were nomadic but some followed settled agricultural pursuits and developed civilizations of their own like the Mayas in South America (check internet reference for profile on this group, focus on level of development, structure of society, religion). The migration continued south through Central America into South America from where the Arawaks and Caribs migrated to the West Indies...

DEFINITION OF COMPUTER ETHICS “Ethics is a set of moral principles that govern the behavior of a group or individual. Therefore, computer ethics is set of moral principles that regulate the use of computers. Some common issues of computer ethics include intellectual property rights (such as copyrighted electronic content), privacy concerns, and how computers affect society”. (Brotman, 2001). Ethics vary from one individual to another. Laws are written rules that govern. Ethics and information services have become very important. Computer ethics are key in today's modernized world. Social rights and the computer. This is really saying or giving you rights. For example, right to privacy. This allows your personal information to be kept just what it is, personal. Right to computer access, right to computer skills, etc. (Gorniak-Kocikowska, 1996). Code of ethics states what conduct is allowed and what is not allowed. There must always be a plan on how to maintain ethical practices in the business world. Many times people have valuable information to be stored into computer systems and therefore we...

...have different Ways.” European Americans and Native Americans View Each Other, 1700-1775 In British America, there was no greater sense of Otherness than between Europeans and Native Americans. Both Indians and Africans represented the "other" to white colonists, but the Indians held one card denied to the enslaved Africans— autonomy. As sovereign entities, the Indian nations and the European colonies (and countries) often dealt as peers. In trade, war, land deals, and treaty negotiations, Indians held power and used it. As late as 1755, an English trader asserted that "the prosperity of our Colonies on the Continent will stand 1 or fall with our Interest and favour among them." Here we canvas the many descriptions of Indians by white colonists and Europeans, and sample the sparse but telling record of the Native American perspective on Europeans and their culture in pre-revolutionary eighteenth-century British America. All come to us, of course, through the white man's eye, ear, and pen. Were it not for white missionaries, explorers, and frontier negotiators (the go-betweens known as "wood's men"), we would have a much sparser record of the Indian response to colonists and their "civilizing" campaigns. . * Royal Library of Denmark “The natives, the so-called savages” Francis Daniel Pastorius, Pennsylvania, 1700 Pastorius was the founder of German Town, the first German settlement in Pennsylvania. 2 Philip Georg Friedrich von Reck “The supreme commander of the Yuchi...

...Sheldon, ©1985 BOOK ONE Chapter 01 New Orleans THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20--- 11:00 P.M. She undressed slowly, dreamily, and when she was naked, she selected a bright red negligee to wear so that the blood would not show. Doris Whitney looked around the bedroom for the last time to make certain that the pleasant room, grown dear over the past thirty years, was neat and tidy. She opened the drawer of the bedside table and carefully removed the gun. It was shiny black, and terrifyingly cold. She placed it next to the telephone and dialed her daughter's number in Philadelphia. She listened to the echo of the distant ringing. And then there was a soft "Hello?" "Tracy... I just felt like hearing the sound of your voice, darling." "What a nice surprise, Mother." "I hope I didn't wake you up." "No. I was reading. Just getting ready to go to sleep. Charles and I were going out for dinner, but the weather's too nasty. It's snowing hard here. What's it doing there?" Dear God, we're talking about the weather, Doris Whitney thought, when there's so much I want to tell her. And can't. "Mother? Are you there?" Doris Whitney stared out the window. "It's raining." And she thought, How melodramatically appropriate. Like an Alfred Hitchcock movie. "What's that noise?" Tracy asked. Thunder. Too deeply wrapped in her thoughts, Doris had not been aware of it. New Orleans was having a storm. Continued rain, the weatherman had said. Sixty-six degrees in New Orleans. By evening the rain will be turning to...
