Until now, researchers believed farming was "invented" some 12,000 years ago in the Cradle of Civilization -- Iraq, the Levant, parts of Turkey and Iran -- an area that was home to some of the earliest known human civilizations. A new discovery by an international collaboration of researchers from Tel Aviv University, Harvard University, Bar-Ilan University, and the University of Haifa offers the first evidence that trial plant cultivation began far earlier -- some 23,000 years ago. The study focuses on the discovery of the first weed species at the site of a sedentary human camp on the shore of the Sea of Galilee. It was published in PLOS ONE and led by Prof. Ehud Weiss of Bar-Ilan University in collaboration with Prof. Marcelo Sternberg of the Department of Molecular Biology and Ecology of Plants at TAU's Faculty of Life Sciences and Prof. Ofer Bar-Yosef of Harvard University, among other colleagues. "While full-scale agriculture did not develop until much later, our study shows that trial cultivation began far earlier than previously believed, and gives us reason to rethink our ancestors' capabilities," said Prof. Sternberg. "Those early ancestors were more clever and more skilled than we knew."

Evidence among the weeds

Although weeds are considered a threat or nuisance in farming, their presence at the site of the Ohalo II people's camp revealed the earliest signs of trial plant cultivation -- some 11 millennia earlier than conventional ideas about the onset of agriculture. The plant material was found at the site of the Ohalo II people, who were fisher hunter-gatherers and established a sedentary human camp. The site was unusually well preserved, having been charred, covered by lake sediment, and sealed in low-oxygen conditions -- ideal for the preservation of plant material. The researchers examined the weed species for morphological signs of domestic-type cereals and harvesting tools, although their very presence is evidence itself of early farming. "This uniquely preserved site is one of the best archaeological examples worldwide of the hunter-gatherers' way of life," said Prof. Sternberg. "It was possible to recover an extensive amount of information on the site and its inhabitants". "Because weeds thrive in cultivated fields and disturbed soils, a significant presence of weeds in archaeobotanical assemblages retrieved from Neolithic sites and settlements of later age is widely considered an indicator of systematic cultivation," according to the study.

Early gatherers

The site bears the remains of six shelters and a particularly rich assemblage of plants. Upon retrieving and examining approximately 150,000 plant specimens, the researchers determined that early humans there had gathered over 140 species of plants. These included 13 known weeds mixed with edible cereals, such as wild emmer, wild barley, and wild oats. The researchers found a grinding slab -- a stone tool with which cereal starch granules were extracted -- as well as a distribution of seeds around this tool, reflecting that the cereal grains were processed for consumption. The large number of cereals showing specific kinds of scars on their seeds indicate the likelihood of those cereals growing in fields, and the presence of sickle blades indicates that these humans deliberately planned the harvest of cereal. The new study offers evidence that early humans clearly functioned with a basic knowledge of agriculture and, perhaps more importantly, exhibited foresight and extensive agricultural planning far earlier than previously believed.

Question about the trade

who are the losers of FTA in Korea and why?(in can be China-korea FTA or US Korea FTA)? what are the political impact they have?

Should the United States move to greater and stricter regulation of multinational business enterprises who wish to either enter or gain greater shares of US markets?

Do you think foreign corporations should be allowed to invest in the U.S. without any restrictions?  Who gains when foreign corporations invest in the US?

Abbotsford Tile Ltd. (ATL) is a wholesaler of high quality glass, ceramic and marble tiles. In November 2019 the owner of ATL agreed to sell the company to Barrie Tile Inc. (BTI) another tile wholesaler. Each company is owned and operated by a single individual who originally founded his company. The owner of ATL decided to sell his business because he was beginning to get too old to run the store. The owner of BTI wants to purchase ATL to expand the size of his business. The two men agreed over lunch that BTI would buy ATL for an amount equal to five times ATL’s net income before tax for the year ended December 31, 2019. The deal is to be finalized on March 1, 2020. Closure of the deal requires that BTI approve of the financial statements prepared by ATL. The two men agreed that any disputes regarding the financial statements would be settled by negotiations and, if necessary, by arbitration by an independent third party. It is now January 15, 2020. You have been called by BTI’s owner to help him understand and assess a number of transactions that are reported in ATL’s December 31, 2019 financial statements. The owner of BTI explained that he does not have much experience working with financial statements but based on his examination, along with information obtained from other sources, he is concerned about a number of transactions reported in ATL’s statements. The owner has asked you for a detailed report explaining the impact of each event on the purchase price of ATL and your assessment of each of the issues. BTI’s owner said that he would like a full explanation of the implications of each event, your evaluation of the accounting used by ATL, and your supported recommendation of the appropriate treatment for each event. Your explanations are important because they will be used in negotiations with the owner of ATL and, if necessary, presented to the arbitrator.

The owner of BTI provided you with the following information about the events that are of concern to him:

a) GTL paid a $60,000 non-refundable fee on October 15, 2019 to their delivery company as a prepayment for services from November 1 2019 – November 1, 2020. The contract between the delivery company and GTL is for 2 years. The delivery company charges GTL $20,000 each month, less $5,000 which has been paid up front as the deposit. The $60,000 has been recorded as a prepaid asset. The delivery expense for the year ended December 31, 2019 totaled $30,000.

b) In August 2019, ATL entered into a long term contract with another tile retailer, Great Tile Ltd (GTL). As part of the agreement, GTL agreed to order products from ATL on a monthly basis. In November 2019 GTL placed a large tile order that will be delivered evenly over a 5- month period. The order totaled $350,000, and GTL paid an upfront non-refundable deposit of $150,000. The fee was recorded as revenue. The first order, with $70,000 worth of goods was shipped to GTL on November 20, 2019. The second order was scheduled to ship on December 20, however, due to the busy holiday season and staffing issues, GTL requested that the order be held at ATL’s facility until after the winter break. Since the shipment was ready to go, ATL placed the tiles in a separate part of their facility. ATL recognized revenue for both the November and December orders in 2019, totaling $140,000.

The Gettysburg Address

President Abraham Lincoln

November 19, 1863

"Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate — we cannot consecrate — we cannot hallow — this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

Based on the document Gettysburg Address, what actions did enslaved people take during the Civil War and how were they treated by the Union army? How did the Emancipation Proclamation and the Gettysburg Address, change the purpose of the Civil War?

Though we've compared and contrasted the regions over the last couple of weeks, let's dive deeper into the Middle Colonies. What made the Middle Colonies different than the other two regions, New England and the Southern Colonies? Why did immigrants flood into Pennsylvania in the 1700s? And what made the Middle the middle? In other words, describe an individual who would self-identify as someone from the Middle Colonies like Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey or Delaware.
