Why has agribusiness and commercial farming replaced the local/family farm? Explain the impact that

Aleksandr [31]

Large scale farming and ranching operations that employ vast land bases, large mechanized equipment, factory-type labor forces, and the latest technology. Few people or areas still have pure subsistence economies. Modifications to subsistence agricultural systems have led to farmers in those systems not only producing for themselves but primarily for a market off the farm itself. Agriculture is but one element in a complex structure that includes mining, manufacturing, processing, and the service activities of tertiary, quaternary, and quinary sectors.

What is the iran-contra scandal

MrMuchimi

The Iran–Contra Scandal (Persian: ماجرای ایران-کنترا‎, Spanish: caso Irán-Contra), also referred to as Irangate,[1] Contragate[2] or the Iran–Contra affair, was a political scandal in the United States that occurred during the second term of the Reagan Administration. Senior administration officials secretly facilitated the sale of arms to Iran, which was the subject of an arms embargo.[3] The administration hoped to use the proceeds of the arms sale to fund the Contras in Nicaragua. Under the Boland Amendment, further funding of the Contras by the government had been prohibited by Congress.

The official justification for the arms shipments was that they were part of an operation to free seven American hostages being held in Lebanon by Hezbollah, a paramilitary group with Iranian ties connected to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The plan was for Israel to ship weapons to Iran, for the United States to resupply Israel, and for Israel to pay the United States. The Iranian recipients promised to do everything in their power to achieve the release of the hostages.[4][5] However, as documented by a congressional investigation, the first Reagan-sponsored secret arms sales to Iran began in 1981 before any of the American hostages had been taken in Lebanon. This fact ruled out the "arms for hostages" explanation by which the Reagan administration sought to excuse its behavior.[6]

The plan was later complicated in late 1985, when Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North of the National Security Council diverted a portion of the proceeds from the Iranian weapon sales to fund the Contras, a group of anti-Sandinista rebel fighters, in their struggle against the socialist government of Nicaragua.[4] While President Ronald Reagan was a vocal supporter of the Contra cause,[7] the evidence is disputed as to whether he personally authorized the diversion of funds to the Contras.[4][5][8] Handwritten notes taken by Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger on 7 December 1985 indicate that Reagan was aware of potential hostage transfers with Iran, as well as the sale of Hawk and TOW missiles to "moderate elements" within that country.[9] Weinberger wrote that Reagan said "he could answer to charges of illegality but couldn't answer to the charge that 'big strong President Reagan passed up a chance to free the hostages.'"[9] After the weapon sales were revealed in November 1986, Reagan appeared on national television and stated that the weapons transfers had indeed occurred, but that the United States did not trade arms for hostages.[10] The investigation was impeded when large volumes of documents relating to the affair were destroyed or withheld from investigators by Reagan administration officials.[11] On 4 March 1987, Reagan made a further nationally televised address, taking full responsibility for the affair and stating that "what began as a strategic opening to Iran deteriorated, in its implementation, into trading arms for hostages".[12]

The affair was investigated by the U.S. Congress and by the three-person, Reagan-appointed Tower Commission. Neither investigation found evidence that President Reagan himself knew of the extent of the multiple programs.[4][5][8] In the end, fourteen administration officials were indicted, including then-Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger. Eleven convictions resulted, some of which were vacated on appeal.[13] The rest of those indicted or convicted were all pardoned in the final days of the presidency of George H. W. Bush, who had been Vice President at the time of the affair.[14] The Iran–Contra affair and the ensuing deception to protect senior administration officials (including President Reagan) has been cast as an example of post-truth politics.[15]

1. Explain how the methods and styles used by Newton to share his discoveries aided

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Isaac Newton (1643 - 1727), a renowned English author, physicist, astronomer, and theologian, wrote down more than 10 million words to document his scientific, religious, and academic works and discoveries. Many of his written words were published after his death. Through his writings, people increased their understanding of the sciences.

The Protestant reformers of the 16th Century, led by Martin Luther, also used the method of writing down their religious beliefs to increase people's understanding of their religious issues.

Explanation:

But before then, the Catholic Church and her theologians had written down volumes of works about various subjects. The only difference was that much of the Church documents were not made available for people to freely read. They were actually reserved for the educated because the Church believed strongly that half education was very dangerous. We can still feel the misinterpretations of the scriptural, scientific, and technological works today. Some people are always reducing divine and philosophical matters to their human levels of understanding once they have the slightest opportunity to interpret mysteries.
