Due to this apparent threat, the government created the Poor Law and made a system that would provide help for them. Societies were put in place in order to provide assistance to those in need.

It is the Sherpa who populate these mountains, specifically the middle Himalayan range (Bishop 1998:11). Most Sherpa settlements are found at altitudes of 3,000 to 6,000 meters. These high altitude environments are prone to unpredictable climatic and geomorphological conditions. Growing seasons are short, and there is often the risk of early frosts or snowstorms. The slopes
Israel has doubled settlements on confiscated Palestinian land, continued to imprison Palestinian prisoners and has implemented only 8 percent of what it agreed to implement in all the signed agreements.

European Settlement of the Americas – The True Story One of the most important events in the history of the last half millennium is the European "discovery" of the Americas.
