To rule the vast territory, the Qin instituted a rigid, authoritarian government; they standardized the writing system, standardized the measurements of length and weight and the width of highways, abolished all feudal privileges, oversaw large-scale construction of what then became the first Great Wall.
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’.
Answer: The answer is : d. I and III
Explanation:
I- The interest rate on a mortgage has a direct impact on the size of a mortgage payment: Higher interest rates mean higher mortgage payments.
While both loan types have similar interest rate profiles, the 20-year loan typically offers a lower rate to the 30-year loan. The spreads change over time, but the 20-year is typically about a quarter a percent lower than the 30-year.
Answer:
- Long working hours.
- Small pay
Explanation:
From the source shown above, the young girls had to work really long hours from 5 am to around 7 pm. Even though they were granted breakfast and lunch hours, this is still a long time to work. Long work hours have been shown to drain a person and lead to fatigue, lack of attentiveness and lower productivity.
The young girls also received little pay for the amount of hours of work they put in. The doffers for instance, were paid $2 a week for being on duty for nearly fourteen hours a day. Assuming this is a 6 day work week, that would translate to less than 3 cents per hour.
These working conditions took such a toll on the young ladies that they were able to argue the case for a reduction in work hours by their presence.
