The Spanish Empire was the first European power to arrive in America, first arriving in mid-1510s. Mexico and Florida were the first areas of America to have been occupied and explored by Spain. Spain’s original intentions in America, just like France and England, were to find resources and economic success. In Mexico, they discover precious metals, such as gold and silver. This was Spain’s main economic resource and became highly desired in Europe. However, instead of developing settlements and colonizing, like the Europe counterparts, they mostly build outposts for the conquistadores. After Spain secured their territory, Spaniard Priests and Missionaries were to America and began to work with the natives to convert to Catholicism and live a Catholic life style.
The Azande are a group of people that live on the Nile-Congo line. They are huge believers in witchcraft, oracles, magic, and other ritual performances. The Azande believe that witches can bring harm to them through psychic acts. The Azande believe that if something atrocious happens to them that the witches are the ones accountable. It can be a colossal coincidence that they got hurt or sick, but they hold the witches accountable for everything undesirable. In Zandeland an old granary collapsed. It killed and injured many that were underneath it. They blamed it on witchcraft, but things like this would happen all the time, in Zandeland and can happen now in the present day. If something like this occurred today, witchcraft would not

It was an unforgiving 95 degrees Fahrenheit in eastern France last week. Rain had fallen nearly every day of the week prior to Stage 16, Wednesday, July 21, making for a very steamy road up the face of one of the most unforgiving mountain rides a cyclist can make in the course of his or her riding career. Nearly one million people lined the narrow mountain road leading to the peak of L'Alpe D'Huez to watch a one man, Lance Armstrong, in the time trial of his life. This seemingly immortal man had survived cancer to make this climb his top achievement leading him to victory five times previously. Could Lance pull off an unprecedented sixth win? He rehearsed this scene time after time over the course of the previous year in preparation for such a time as this. That preparation paid off. He climbed this mountain in exactly 61 seconds faster than any of his nearly 200 competitors. One million people in a less than 20 mile stretch of road all to watch a bicycle race. But this was no normal race, this was, after all, The Tour de France. Considered to be the most physically unremitting sporting event known to man, this mere bicycle race has a history richer than many nations in and of themselves. Over a hundred years ago, in a turbulent, at best, France, two men found their way into a personal disagreement. The results of which, over a century later would still draw spectators by the thousands to the hillsides of France for what would become the greatest continuing nationalist and sporting spectacle of that country.

It is situated at an altitude of 2,034m, being the highest mountain resort of Romania. The cliffs are covered with snow from November till late July, sometimes still persisting till the new one arrives. First, you have to reach Balea Waterfall, and only afterwards try to get to the lake. Late spring is the best time to come- you take the main road and you’re disappointed cause you see no sign of snow and you think you have come such a long way for nothing. But you keep driving, hoping to find that wonderful place where you can ski or snowboard in T-shirt only, without worrying you’ll catch another cold and hoping to meet some of the friends you haven’t seen for the past month or more. The road makes a big turn and suddenly you see what you’ve been waiting for: the big mountains are still covered with snow. So everyone is happy and anxious to finally arrive up there. The area is fantastic for the best skiers and boarders and it offers excellent routes for freeride.
