During the winter of 1609-1610, 90% of the colonists perished in an episode now called the “starving time”. But did the starving time kill all of the colonists, or did something else have something to do with the sudden deaths. Some of the deaths may have been caused by starvation, but I think that deliberate poisoning did the most damage.

What fascinated me was the fact that the wine from Fresno State is produced in limited quantities. Nowhere else in the world are all the wines available for purchase and tasting.
It depends on what types of products one plans to produce using the land. Since the winery business requires high investment in real property, it is important for one to make an investment decision on what market segment it wants to play in. Napa Valley is widely known as a good place for staring a vineyard and the land price is relatively higher than anywhere else in the US. The initial investment would affect the cost structure, which eventually drives up the price of wine. For example, budget wine consumption is very price sensitive and some competitors are trying to maintain their competitiveness with a lower price. If a company decides to produce wines from the winery in Napa Valley, soon, it would be forced to put a premium on the wine price to maintain a level of margin and ,eventually, the company would lose its competitive edge if it is a price player.

The start of the Spanish-American war also marked something bigger- American entry into world affairs. Since then, the U.S. has continued to have a significant hand in various conflicts around the world, and has entered many other treaties and agreements. In 1914, at the start of World War I (WWI), President Woodrow Wilson, in a declaration of neutrality, vowed to keep America out of the war. Inspite of this, Americans were spurred on by German aggression, violation of international law, and protecting economic interests. The U.S. had entered the war, creating a major turning point. The war ended with Germany's defeat. As a determining force in the victory of the war, America became almost soley in charge of creating a post-war agenda. But,
This northern California winescape is “dotted with Italian surnames that suggest traditional roots of pioneering viticulturists” (Helzer 49). For Italians, they adapted their “old-world winemaking traditions to new lands” (Helzer 49), and their success can be partially attributed to the “similarities in landscape, ecology, and climate between California and the rolling countryside of northwestern Italy” (Vaught 885). Furthermore, the success of these immigrants can be attributed to their plethora of access to social capital listed

“Sing, O muse, of the rage of Achilles, son of Peleus, that brought countless ills upon the Achaeans.” This is the very start of Homer’s epic, the Iliad. In the epic, Achilles, the greatest of the Achaean warriors is fighting against the Trojans. Achilles’s background consists of both, mortality and immortality, since his father, Peleus, is mortal and his mother, Thetis, is a goddess. As seen throughout the books of the epic, Achilles took on his mother’s immortality because of his strength and honor. His heel is the only part of him that is vulnerable to injury. Throughout the epic, one becomes familiar with who Achilles is and how he deals with his emotions throughout different aspects of the poem. Achilles starts off as a persistent warrior, displaying strong actions at war along with having constraints and limits to his actions. His behavior towards the end of The Iliad makes clear that although he is shown to be something like a god, the mortal part of him causes him to not be able to control his actions due to his feelings. Achilles starts out being calm and collected and he was able to not go out in rage, then he becomes full of anger and wrath after the death of Patroclus, finally ending out the epic being fair and calm. Therefore, in Homer’s The Iliad, Achilles experiences different events which cause a shift in his emotions and demeanor.
