1) because the native american threatened to attack if the colonists continued to settle in their land
2) to keep the english colonists closer to the coast of America (for trade I suppose)
not sure if this helps but I hope it does
sorry its so long
To date erosion scientists have failed to address — or have addressed inadequately — some of the ‘big questions’ of our discipline. For example, where is erosion occurring? Why is it happening, and who is to blame? How serious is it? Who does it affect? What should be the response? Can we prevent it? What are the costs of erosion? Our inability or reluctance to answer such questions damages our credibility and is based on weaknesses in commonly-used approaches and the spatial and temporal scales at which much research is carried out. We have difficulty in the recognition, description and quantification of erosion, and limited information on the magnitude and frequency of events that cause erosion. In particular there has been a neglect of extreme events which are known to contribute substantially to total erosion. The inadequacy and frequent misuse of existing data leaves us open to the charge of exaggeration of the erosion problem (a la Lomborg).
Models need to be developed for many purposes and at many scales. Existing models have proved to be of limited value, in the real as opposed to the academic world, both because of problems with the reliability of their results, and difficulties (with associated costs) of acquiring suitable data. However, there are some positive signs: models are now being developed for purposes including addressing questions of off-site impacts and land-use policy. Cheap, reliable and technically simple methods of erosion assessment at the field scale are needed. At the global scale, an up-date of GLASOD based on a scientific approach is urgent so that we are at least able to identify erosion ‘hotspots’.
In terms of explanation of erosion, the greatest need is for a full recognition of the importance of socio-economic drivers. The accession of new countries to the EU with different economic and land-use histories emphasises this need. Too often we have left people, especially the farmers, out of the picture. Our approach could be characterised as ‘data-rich and people-poor’.
A longitudinal study that followed 1200 older adults in their transition from independent living to age-restricted housing in 1995 found that those older adults who transitioned to more expensive communities fared THE BEST with regard to physical health and overall life satisfaction and those who transitioned to government subsidized housing programs fared THE WORSE.
Explanation:
More expensive age restricted communities offer services that can enhance quality of life for the elderly. They are cared for by professionals, their every needs are met, they can have a thriving social life, they are protected, they are independent and they can enjoy their lives while being in a safe environment. Therefore they fare the best.
Government subsidized housing programs for the elderly do not offer anywhere near the quality of care and services as the expensive ones. There is little money and resources put into these programs and the level of care is far less making the quality of life for the residents poorer. Therefore they fare the worse.
Explanation:
The Renaissance was a fervent period of European cultural, artistic, political and economic “rebirth” following the Middle Ages.
Taking place from the 14th century to the 17th century.
The Renaissance period cultivated a new change in art, knowledge, and culture. It changed the way the citizens thought, with first the rediscovery of classical philosophy, literature, and art, as well as the new discoveries in travel, invention, and style.
