The annual ___caused by the heavy monsoon rains support all life in Egypt
Answer:
floods
Explanation:
River Nile is full of rich soil that is very good for farming and very fertile. Heavy rainfalls in Egypt usually happen in the wintertime, and then the river Nile floods out of its bank. Not only this way the earth around the bank is watered, but the soil gets enriched by the nutrients and minerals of the soil and becomes more fertile.
This river goes all the way through Egypt, from north to south, and is one of the main water sources in the country. This is why ever since ancient times, annual floods of the river Nile have been crucial for Egypt. The rainfalls and floods are supporters of life in Egypt ever since a few thousand years ago.

Answer:
Eritrea has faced several challenges since gaining independence from Ethiopia in 1993. The country has only one political party that maintains all of the control. Democratic national elections have yet to be held; the transitional government is still in power, and no constitution has been implemented. Furthermore, territorial disputes with Ethiopia continue. Eritrea's command economy is struggling. Over 80% of the population is engaged in subsistence agriculture. Climate changes have created problems for agriculture, and drought is a major issue. Finally, property damages due to war have proven costly.

In this activity, you will complete an interest inventory online, evaluate the accuracy of your results, and discuss what type of career might be best for you. Go to this website and take the interactive interest inventory. It should take 5-10 minutes to complete the inventory. After you answer the questions, the Interest Profiler tool will present the results of the assessment. In which Interest category did you rate the highest? Do you think this result matches your personal interests? After you have explored your personal interest ratings, continue with the inventory and select the level of education you want to complete for your Job Zone. In this section, you must determine what level of education you want to complete. For example, do you only want to go to college for two years, or do you want to get a graduate degree in your field of interest? After you choose your level of education and training, you will get some Job Zone results. These Job Zone results identify specific careers that match your interests. Pick three of these careers and discuss whether or not they seem like they might be a good fit for you.
Answer:
The interest category that I rated the highest in was "Artistic", with a rating of 22. Yes, this result definitely matches my personal interests; I've known for a while that I'd like to manage myself and become a freelance artist. I want to get about four years of college and a bachelor's degree to be able to start my career off, so "Job Zone Four: High Preparation Needed" would be a good choice of action. Graphic designer, director and an art director are the three careers that I chose.
Graphic design might be nice, but i'm not too keen on the idea of not making most of the art myself. It would also be nice to be more recognised for my work instead of just being known as the person who designed it and put it in this format.
A director would also be good, but I feel like I lack leadership skills. Though, lots of things can change over the course of a decade. I think it would be a career choice to keep in mind.
An art director would also be a desirable career, if I liked creating ideas for others. Again, lots of things change over the course of many years, so I might like to lead teams and produce new ideas for them.
Explanation:
I don't know if this is right, sorry if it's late. This was my answer, so don't expect it to be the same for you. Good luck, don't let your teacher find out. <3
Answer:
(Answers may vary.)
After completing my interest inventory, I discovered that I rate a 25 on Investigative and 21 in Artistic. I think that this is pretty accurate. For example, I rated only a 7 in Realistic, which relates to outdoors and hands-on work. The results tell me that I like to be inside and work with ideas and be creative, which sounds just like me.
In the Job Zone section, I chose a higher level of education and training because I want to go to college and get at least a four-year degree. My Job Zone results indicated that the three “Best Fit” careers were that of broadcast news analysts, music therapists, and poets, lyricists, and creative writers. I think that all of these career choices except that of a music therapist pretty much match my interests. I do like to analyze the news, and I really like to write poetry and short stories. However, I don’t really like music, so I’m not sure if a career as a music therapist would be a good fit for me.

Source: Alvin Rabushka, Taxation in Colonial America, 725. Princeton University Press, 2008.
Alvin Rabushka is the David and Joan Traitel Senior Fellow (emeritus) at the Hoover Institution. He is an expert on taxation. His books and articles on the flat tax, with Hoover fellow Robert Hall, have provided the foundation for numerous tax reform bills. His book Taxation in Colonial America released by (Princeton University Press, 2008), won the Fraunces Tavern Museum Special Recognition Book Award in 2009.
British debt doubled as a result of the French and Indian War. The annual cost of maintaining the British army in the thirteen colonies before the war was £13,000. The additional 15 battalions (large number of troops) in North America after the war increased the cost to £220,000. Interest on the debt was £4.4 million per year so just paying the interest concerned King George III and Parliament. The colonies opposed paying for their own defense so Parliament passed a tax to raise revenue to make the colonists provide for their common defense. The tax was called the Stamp Act because it required a stamp to be placed on all printed materials purchased throughout the thirteen colonies. The total amount intended to be raised by the new tax was £60,000 per year, this is not even 20% of the total amount required to maintain the troops.
Document B Analysis—Study the chart and reading to answer the questions. Remember to paraphrase.
1. What is the source of the document? Is it a primary or secondary source? Explain.
2. How did the French and Indian War impact British debt?
3. What was the exact difference in pounds in the debt between 1755 and 1762?
4. How much did it cost to keep British troops in the colonies after the war?
Answer:
The defeat of the British at the Battle of Fort Duquesne sparked the French and Indian War. The British attacked the French trading fort known as Fort Duquesne on September 14, 1758 (not 1755). This fort, and others, had been constructed in 1754 by the French in the Ohio River Valley as part of their strategy to expand their profitable fur trade, which was based in present-day Canada. The British, however, objected to this usurpation of what they considered was their territory, and, as a result, the Prime Minister, William Pitt, sent General John Forbes and 6,000 soldiers to gain control of the fort. During a reconnaissance mission, Major James Grant and his soldiers tried to attack the fort, but they were defeated by the French and his Indian allies. Aware of their numerical disadvantage, the French decided to retreat, not without burning Fort Duquesne first. Once they eventually left the Ohio Valley, the British built Fort Pitt on the site.

Answer:
For questions about Document A, here are the answers
Explanation:
1. What is the source of the document? Is it a primary or secondary source? Explain.
Well, since it was taken FROM the official Stamp Act document it’s a primary source. You know this piece of text is taken from the document because it’s labeled as an “excerpt” at the top.
2. What was the purpose of the Stamp Act, according to the document?
The Stamp Act was “AN ACT for granting and applying certain stamp duties”.
3. A colonist purchased a pair of dice, a 4-page newspaper, and placed an ad to sell a product in a newspaper. How much in today’s money would that have cost?
You can purchase the following items at these prices. A pair of 6-sided dice 19mm would cost you roughly $8.65. A 4-page newspaper usually goes for around $1.00. Lastly, the most expensive of the purchases would be an ad in the newspaper which costs roughly $12 per inch of newspaper used, meaning that a normal 4-inch by 4-inch ad would cost you $192.00. Assuming that this is exactly what you bought you would end up paying a total of 8.65 + 1.00 + 192.00 = $201.65

What was the significance of the Battle of Stalingrad?
O Germany's victory at Stalingrad gave Germany control of the Soviet Union.
O Germany's defeat at Stalingrad was a turning point in the war.
O Germany's victory at Stalingrad gave Germany control of North Africa.
O Germany's defeat at Stalingrad was a minor setback.
Answer:
The defeat at Stalingrad was a turning point in the war
Explanation:
The third option and the first option are simply incorrect. The fourth option is incorrect because the defeat at Stalingrad was a major loss to Germany and had caused Germany to lose almost all the momentum they previously had seizing the Soviet Union.
The significance of the Battle of Stalingrad was that Germany's defeat at Stalingrad was a turning point in the war. Hence, option B is appropriate.
What is thee the meaning of the Battle of Stalingrad?During the Battle of Stalingrad, a significant conflict on the Eastern Front of World War II, Nazi Germany, and its allies battled the Soviet Union in vain for control of the southern Russian city of Stalingrad.
German forces were pushed to the limit as a result of the Soviets' success in preventing them from resupplying via the air.
The Battle of Stalingrad was one of the Second World War's most important battles on the Eastern Front. In and around this strategically significant city on the Volga river, which bore the same name of the Soviet dictator, Josef Stalin, the Soviet Union dealt a devastating blow to the German Army.
The majority of historians believe the Battle of Stalingrad to be a pivotal struggle, and most Russians rank it as one of the greatest battles in their Great Patriotic War. It signaled the turning of the balance of the war in favor of the Allies and stopped the German march into the Soviet Union.
Hence, option B is correct.

Besides providing a stable food diet, what other advantage did Egypt’s location provide for early Egyptians?
a. It had temples in which to worship.
b. It had Sumerian artwork to use as decoration.
c. It had natural barriers to protect against invaders.
d. It had two dynasties to celebrate religious traditions.
Answer:
c. It had natural barriers to protect against invaders
Besides providing a stable food diet, the other advantage did Egypt’s location provide for early Egyptians is: It had natural barriers to protect against invaders. The correct option is (c).
Egypt's location along the Nile River and its natural geographical features such as deserts and mountains provided natural barriers that helped protect it from invasions. These geographic barriers made it difficult for foreign armies to penetrate and conquer Egypt, contributing to its stability and allowing early Egyptians to develop and flourish.
Thus, the ideal selection is option (c).

when they call you a terrorist a black lives matter memoir summary
I even stopped myself for a while after George Floyd’s murder. A simple Black Lives Matter comment on my part in support of the fact the Black lives do indeed matter caused quite a few people to come and try and educate me on the facts as they saw them about BLM, the organization not actual lives.
My course of action was to recommend a memoir, When They Call You a Terrorist, a memoir by one of the Black Lives Matter founders Patrisse Khan-Culllors.
The perspectives that we develop in recent times are often shaped by what we see in the news and soundbites, social media, out of context quotes and hearsay. However the art of listening and learning from another’s perspective or story can get lost. Khan-Cullors story doesn’t begin at BLM, it begins with a family affected by mental illness.
In 1980 there existed the Mental Health Systems Act put in place by Jimmy Carter’s administration. The Act supported and financed community mental health support systems, which coordinated general health care, mental health care, and social services.
In 1981 with the Reagan administration came the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation, repealing most of the MHSA. One administration enacts sweeping changes, in this case benefitting mental health services, and the next administration repeals or dismantles it despite potential repercussions. Patrisse’s family lived in the aftermath of not only decreased mental health services but also aftermath of systemwide racism. That’s racism legislated and built into the American system for countless numbers of years.
Khan-Cullors inserts quotes throughout her book. Some represent her influences while others represent what influenced the lives her family would navigate to try and survive. Chapter 1 begins with this one from “John Ehrlichman, Richard M. Nixon’s National Domestic Policy Chief, on the administration’s position on Black people”.
“We know we couldn’t make it illegal to be…black, but by getting the public to associate the…blacks with heroin and then criminalinzing [them] heavily, we could disrupt [their] communitites…Did we know we were lying? Of course we did.”
This quote could also apply to the crack epidemic, criminalization of marijuana and how it is carried out. This was the reality for Patrisse and her siblings growing up. A time when young black boys could be stopped and searched for fitting a description or suspected of dealing drugs and gang activity, simply for hanging out or socializing with friends. The first time Patrisse was arrested was at the age of 12, in front of her class and searched. Her closest brother Monte arrested at age 11.
Patrisse recounts incidents like these and others, including a raid on the family home to look for a relative suspected of dealing drugs. The relative did not live with them. The youngest child in the family at the time was 5. Police searched everything in the house. Although this was anything but normal it was not discussed in the family. They went on to survive this day.
While some may be outraged to hear this, I can recall talking to relatives about living in the Jim Crow South. Things were so a part of their daily lives that there was no discussion about events. No spoken outrage, just survival. Knowing it was wrong but legal to be treated like you don’t matter.
Another chapter quote for your consideration,
“One of the worst things about racism is what it does to young people.” –Alvin Ailey
I think the one set of incidents that most affected the author on her journey to Black Lives Matter was that of her brother Monte. In the midst of everything going on in their environment, Monte would develop a mental illness. He would not be diagnosed until time in prison. Through all of his episodes the way the system dealt with it would be through multiple arrests and jail time. The family would grow weary of calling police for assistance, because the abuse and treatment he would receive were not what they wanted for him. They were also at a loss at what to do as no assistance solutions were in place. As I stated Monte was diagnosed with schizophrenia while in jail.
