Mauricio Ibarra-Towle 9/15/14 Period 5 The Technology of the Hufflepuffs The Hufflepuffs were a society that developed interesting technology that is still being used to this day in time. They existed from 400 CE to 1066 and lived in present day England, Northern Germany, & Northern Netherlands. The culture originally had their own religion and then were converted into Christianity during the later years, when they moved to England. Their technology was different from the rest of the world such as there long boats, weapon style, and their tools especially for farming. The Hufflepuffs had inventive technology that although was different from the rest of the world, but their technology is still used today. The Hufflepuffs began as raiders, but years after became farmers, and had many tools for farming. An important Hufflepuffs farming technology were scythes that were used for harvesting crops quickly. Another farming innovation of the Hufflepuffs was the ard. The ard was a pre plow that was pulled by oxen and made a furrow which is a trench in the soil for planting or watering. These technologies allowed although almost everybody farmed so that less people had to farm and people could have specialties such as blacksmiths. Their new farming techniques that make their lives easier because less people had to …show more content…
Their boats were long, but thin, so they were able to use the boats in rivers and in the ocean. Since the Hufflepuffs often lived in islands surrounded by swamps or the ocean the Hufflepuffs used their boats often. The boats had huge sails, sometimes bigger than the boats themselves, and when the wind was low they had oars so they were able to row their boats. Their boats did have a negative feature, which was capacity. He boats at the most were able to carry 20 people, so they often had a smaller amount of people during their trips, or traveled in multiple
Farmers were once known for being able to do everything themselves. They grew their own food and sewed their own clothes. People often yearn for the old days and complain about so many people living in cities.

Many factors, contributed to the creation of the Dust Bowl – soil subject to wind erosion, drought which killed the soil holding vegetation, the incessant wind, and technological improvements which facilitated the rapid breaking of the native sod. This is not to say that mechanized agriculture irreparably damaged the land – it did not. New and improved implements such as tractors, one-way disk plows, grain drills, and combines reduced plowing, planting, and harvesting costs and increased agricultural productivity. Increased productivity caused prices to fall, and farmers were compensated by buying more sod for wheat.

JK Rowling could have never imagined in 1990 when the thought of Harry Potter first appeared to her, how much this fictional character would capture the hearts of readers all over the world. Similarly, Tolkien’s Series The Lord of The Rings has had a resounding effect on its readers, some even going so far as to learn the Elven language that Tolkien himself created. Both of these fantasy works, though incredibly different, are very similar in regards to their Christian themes and underlying message they read. Probably more debatable by fans is whether or not the Harry Potter series is a Christian work, let alone if it even carries Christian themes and undertones. Many within both the evangelical and non-religious world seem to be offended at such a thought as this. Half offended that the story of the gospel could be hidden within the confines of a book of witchcraft, the other half offended that a book of witchcraft and wizarding could carry a Christian message. Yet to Rowling herself the Christian themes seem to be quite obvious. Whatever party one may find stand in, it is clear the Harry Potter series is a Christian work, because of JK Rowling’s deliberate use of Gospel themes, biblical references, and biblically allegorical figures placed throughout the books.
There are positions outfield, infield, and catcher and pitcher. There are three positions outfield and four positions infield. Outfield the positions are left, center, and right. Infield positions are first, second, shortstop, and third, but there’s also pitcher and catcher where they aren’t at bases. Although softball seems like an easy sport that doesn’t take much knowledge, positions in softball each have their own rules and plays.
New technologies not only allowed farming to become more efficient, but made the process of shipping crops west much easier. The most important innovation in farming itself was the horse-drawn combine, which required many horses to operate, but allowed wheat, a popular crop to grow in the west, to be harvested en masse. (Document D) However, railroads were also incredibly important for farmers, as they allowed Wheat, cotton, and corn to be transported across the country
“Farming techniques such as strip cropping, terracing, crop rotation, contour plowing, and cover crops were advocated.” ("About the Dust Bowl")These new techniques were advocated in order to try and prevent more dust from getting picked up by wind and starting the dust storm again. “But for years, farmers had plowed the soil too fine, and they contributed to the creation of the Dust Bowl.”(Ganzel) This was a big mistake farmers had made. This was one of the huge factors in contributing to the Dust Bowl. This has definitely changed now. “Now, many farmers are learning how to raise crops without tilling their fields at all. (Ganzel) Farmers now not tilling their fields at all is a new farming
...made farming more profitable and easier to run as a business. “The tractor was modern compared to the horse. The farmer did not have to pay as many hired men. There was more leisure time. But the tractor changed the social structure of rural life. The key position that farming held in American life vanished” (Carlson).

Using their wooden ships, they raided, traded, explored and settled in Europe, Asia and the North Atlantic islands.

It mainly used sails, but also had oars in the event that there was no wind on the open water. Another ship was known as the “karve”. They were very similar to the knarr, but had shallower h...
