The port-city of Dorma is located on the northern bank of the Bay of Korfos, on the island of the same name. Dorma is a colonized territory of Brom, the largest kingdom of humans in the northern hemisphere of Arth. Positioned a mere one hundred miles east of the mainland, Dorma acts as the largest trading hub on the Sea of Kraken. Despite its high northern latitude, Dorma enjoys a mild climate, and a long, rainy season. This is largely due, in part, to the active volcano on this roughly 70 mile island. With a respectable population of 1,300, Dorma sees, on average, at least a dozen trade vessels daily, and at any given time, hosts several hundred sailors, merchants, diplomats, and tradesmen. The city is proportioned on a general east-to-west layout, accommodating the bay. The docks, easily twice the length of the actual city, cover the entire bay with 37 separate slips. The city of Dorma has few natural exports, but facilitates trade between various nations, making a steep turnover for itself. One of the few natural exports that the city boasts is grain. Having large tracts of farmable land located outside the city, Dorma has more than enough to feed its host of soldiers and citizens.

Their official doctrine of religion states that “belief in the divine weakens the flesh.” They train their soldiers and citizens to put king and country first. No temples or churches are found within the city; and, laws exist that punish those caught openly worshipping or proselytizing. These charges can range from “public nuisance,” to “high treason,” based upon the nature of the offense. There are those who worship in secret, however, especially Dianara, the Queen of Coins, as well as Nephtu, the Ocean
I would say that both articles offer very valid points and are both true in some ways. In Slaughter’s article I can definitely understand some of the points she makes about women struggling to balance their home life with work life, because I’ve witnessed it in some ways with my own mom. However men at the same time can also deal with some of these issues as well. I will say that personally I believe Dorment is accurate when saying neither men or women have it all, the decision to become a successful parent and professional is a personal choice. Dorment does recognize some of the hardships that women have to go through when trying to be successful at their profession and as parent. For instance he brings up unfair pay discrimination and sexism
The economic activity and industry are closely linked, and both played an important role in the everyday life of Pompeii’s citizens. Trade was a key aspect to the city’s economic activity. Strabo tells us that Pompeii was the port for Nuceria and Nola. Although archaeologists are yet to determine whether it was a sea port or a river p...

Shipping goods through Detroit to the Port of Halifax provides the opportunity to use vacated industrial centers by repurposing these facilities for transshipment and manufacturing. Detroit as a transshipment hub provides a distribution system for goods to move to worldwide markets. Many manufacturers have failed due to a lack of an adequat...
Since three-forth of the world is composed of bodies of water, it’s natural that a great number of people rely on fishing for their livelyhood or just for their recreation needs. There are numerous of fish species swimming under the lakes, seas, ponds, and rivers. Most anglers consider fishing as the delight in their purpose-driven life, a sport, as they say.
The historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) are fledgling to compete with Predominately White Institutions (PWIs). HBCU were established to serve the educational needs of black Americans. Before HBCU college was create blacks were generally was denied admission to traditionally all white institutions. Since black Americans was prohibited from whites schools HBCUs became the principle means for providing postsecondary education. There are several reasons why all blacks’ schools does not compete with predominately white schools. HBCU’s most of the time do not keep their accreditation, their tests scores are very low, and do not get as much funding

Earth's oceans make up over 75% of the Earth as a whole. With that being said, it is vital to understand the significance on the contents of the oceans. Since fish and marine products make up a large portion of our diet, fishing practices need to be properly managed. In this essay, overfishing will be defined, its consequences will be revealed, and plans for proper fish distribution will be executed.
How did people revere their gods differently among three civilizations? Did they worship with the same general intent? What were gods’ role(s) in people’s lives? A brief exploration into the religions of Egypt, Greece, and the Hebrew people may bring insight to these questions. Although the main idea of higher beings remains constant throughout societies’ religion, their form of presence in people’s lives varies. I will present the relationship between the leaders and the gods, as well as resemblance to monotheism and systems of government.
There is also a theory that part of the people’s diet was fish even though fish tackle has not yet been found. It is the discovery of stone boxes, with water-proof linings that suggested they needed a tank for fish bait, such as limpets. “Limpets are effective fish bait but they need to be softened before fish find them tempting. Soaking achieves this” (Clarke and Maggiore, 2000)

Feeder creatures not only provide stability for species like sharks, whales and dolphins but they also provide the commercial food fish which maintains sustainable populations.

• Just like human beings, fish need food, oxygen, and shelter. These three basic needs dictate the location of fish in the ice and just realizing this will make winter fishing a lot easier.
