I think what strikes me most about the founding of the American colonies is. That Jamestown was settled in 1607 for a joint stuck company to trade investments over the ocean. The Settlers landed on a island in 1607 and called it "Jamestown Island". Jamestown island had a deep water channel for letting their ships ride close to the shore; However Jamestown island had many different problems. First the island was swamp which cause Unhealthy conditions and a risk of insects disease. Second the timing of settling their brought drought not only to the american settlers, but to native Americans. They weren't able to to grow their own crops. In 1607 38 people survived out of 104. Between 1604-1624 only 1200 immigrants survived out of 10,000 due of

The Marcus Island healthcare system is characterized as socialized medicine where all residents have access to primary care, pharmaceuticals and diagnostic testing. While residents have access to care, they are responsible for a small portion of the payment at the time of service, and in some cases, those who are willing to pay a premium are afforded better access to services. While patients themselves believe their healthcare is either adequate or good, there are several aspects of the Marcus Island healthcare system that suggest care could be better. Specially, Marcus Island’s health care system has been running increasing budget deficits for the past five years. The health care system lacks access to comprehensive

“More repairs to the lighthouse were in the works when the American Revolution intervened. In July 1775, Boston Harbor and the lighthouse were under the control of the British. On July 20, American troops under Major Joseph Vose landed at the lighthouse and took lamps, oil, and some gunpowder, and burned the wooden parts of the tower. After leaving the island they had to outrun an armed British schooner, and two Americans were wounded. An eyewitness described “the flames of the lighthouse ascending up to Heaven, like grateful incense, and the ships wasting their powder.”

Prince Edward Island is a five-thousand, six-hundred and sixty square kilometre island off the eastern coast of Canada. When an island is part of a larger nation, and not provided with a physical connection to the mainland, it is a dismembered limb from the functioning body of the country. The insularity is a handicap, rather than a factor of uniqueness. Transportation from the island to the mainland has typically been somewhat of an issue, as the Northumberland strait between the landmasses freezes partially in winter, making travel difficult. The first peoples of the island, the Mi’kmaq, would make the crossing via canoe and carry the boat over the patches of ice. Once settlers inhabited the island it became necessary to have constant

“Rosette was born the same day that Gambo disappeared. That is how it was. Rosette helped me through the worry that they would take him alive and with the emptiness he left in my heart. I was absorbed in my daughter. That Gambo was running through the jungle pursued by Cambray 's dogs occupied only a part of my thoughts” (Allende, 134) Those words are said by Zarité, the main character of the book Island Beneath the Sea by the Chilean Isabel Allende, translated and published in the United States on 2009. It starts on the Island of Saint-Domingue (actual Haiti) from 1770 to 1793 and the second part, take place on Louisiana, USA, from 1793 to 1810. About the main character, Allende said: "Of all the characters I created, that of Zarité for me that I have more the feeling that existed".

Imagine living on or even visiting the world’s largest island. When you hear the word island, you may get a vision of a tropical oasis where you can vacation and sink your toes into the soft, tan sand and taking a plunge into the clear, blue, warm ocean water. You may think of palm trees with oceanic views all while having a pina colada in your hand. With that image in your head, what if I shocked you by saying that the world’s largest island is actually an island that is of climactic extremes, lying mostly within the Arctic Circle, which is covered by ice and glaciers in the 80% of its self-governed land (Caulfield)? Although the climate can vary greatly in Greenland, the climate is generally subarctic with short, cool summers and extremely bitter cold winters. Throughout this paper, I will introduce topics such as: the climate of Greenland, the geography, the history of the country, the different aspects of Greenland’s economy, the different culture that Greenland has, the type of family life located within the country and how all of these variables impact the actual housing in Greenland. I will then share the actual construction of houses in Greenland as well as the different architectural and design elements.
