I have a 1942 wheat penny missing the mint mark. All other details are visible. How much do you think this is worth?
No mint mark just means the coin was made in Philadelphia. It’s not worth any more than most ordinary wheat pennies — somewhere between five and ten cents, unless it’s in exceptionally good shape.
I dont know the whole concept of down grain or against. How can knowing the grain of a putting green surface make a difference in your putting?
CK is right and to add…it also greatly effects your putts break.
Can you please not put words normal people wouldnt know
Coffee beans are more abundant in other areas. They can make it cheaper and import it in the US because of the World Trade Organization. This means the LEDC coffee growers would not have a monopoly. Their prices cannot compete with that of the other countries. Therefore, the World Trade Organization is put LEDC to an economic loss.
I may be adopting an Australian Shepherd/Cattle dog puppy soon, but I want to get more information about that.
Info from Aussie owners would be great too!
Brilliant dogs that often will out think their owners. Australian Shepherds excel in most performance events and are rivaled only by the Border Collie in dedication and drive. However, where the Border Collie is constantly in motion, the Australian Shepherd has a calmer temperament and has an "OFF" switch. They can spend the day in high activity, then spend the evening quietly relaxing beside their owners. Australian Shepherds usually have a soft temperament when it comes to their owners. Cattle dogs are tough little dogs. They have all the intelligence and drive of the Australian Shepherd, but have more of an independent streak. If they think they can do things better their way, they usually do.
The most important thing to remember is to properly socialize your puppy with other people and animals. Both Aussies and Cattle dogs can be overprotective of their family, so early Obedience classes are always recommended.
Good luck with your new addition.
I can’t find the answer to this question anywhere in my history text book. The choices are
a) crops are tended by the entire village
b) crops are harvested by traditional methods
c) crops are moved to new land once soil is worn out
d) crops are grown for profit rather than for personal use
helllllllp?
Well, let’s think about this.
Slash and burn frees up forested/jungle areas for crops and the wood ash enriches the soil for a few years. When the soil wears out, a new section is burned and the old one left to go back wild. Traditionally this was done in a sustenance format, but now commercial crops are done this way too.
Permanent cultivation is the modern method of farming where a field is fertilized and soil is managed to keep producing crops year after year for generations. This has always been a combination of sustenance and commercial production as left over crops, and some specially grown crops are marketed for money and the goal of the farm is profit.
Plantation farming is kind of a mix of the two if I understand things right. Fields are rotated in and out of production. Historically large quantity of crops were grown that required a lot of hand labor and since hand labor was traditionally cheap, innovation wasn’t encouraged. Crops were grown with an intention to market for money.
So I guess I’d select d as the answer, but I’d be shaky on it.
I.e. Rural area with private phone company. No other services advertised on the web are available in this particular area. No towers (antennae) in the area for a minimum of 30+ miles any direction for service….roaming or local in regard to cell phones. Most rural residents would benefit from cell phone use due to miles between neighbors and difficult road conditions for ranchers and farmers, tourists and recreational enthusiasts.
Since internet and cell phone companies are private entities and not government entities, there is no governmental agency that will be able to help you. You would need to contact companies yourself or possibly get together with other interested residents to do this.
Who was the first woman to receive a PhD from a University in England?
Also, who was the first English woman to receive a PhD from a university anywhere?
(I need the answer to the first question more)
I cannot locate the first female to recieve a Phd in the UK, only a MD.
I am wondering if it is because the English didn’t use the term Doctor for a Phd, at least a female one.
As you can see from the woman below who gained her Phd in Italy in the 1600’s, I’d venture to say it was around the mid-1880’s, and quite possibly before that.
Winifred Edgerton, the first American woman to receive a Ph.D. in mathematics, Columbia University, 1886 .
Elizabeth Blackwell (1821 – 1910) first woman physician (doctor), founded the New York Infirmary for Women and Children in 1857, founded Women’s Medical College in 1867
Elena Cornaro Piscopia (1646-1684), Italian mathematician and the first female PhD
