What crops were grown in the New England colonies?
What are called truck farms that produce highly perishable fruits and vegetables that suffer from a loss of quality when shipped for great distances will always be in demand in highly populated areas. They can be vine or tree ripened, picked, prepared and served at their peak. Where there are major population centers much of the crop production is used to support things like dairy production (hay and silage) or grains for egg and broiler facilities.

Who investigated the Boston Strangler when on the North Shore?
Since I'm not from Boston the North Shore area threw me off a little. I think you are talking about the cluster of smaller communities ouside of the city of Boston. According to the bestselling book by Sebastian Junger, formerly of Belmont, MA, the Boston Strangler murdered what must have been one of his first victims. Death In Belmont details the murder of Bessie Goldberg of Belmont MA, and a neighbor of Junger's boyhood home.
Hired as a carpenter's helper, Albert De Solvo, later to become the Boston Strangler, helped in the construction of an art studio for Junger's artist mother. This is fact as there was a photo of the Jungers, mother and son, with handyman De Solvo at the Junger residence, included in the book.
Goldberg was killed in true Strangler fashion but De Solvo was never suspected. Roy Smith was convicted of the murder and as far as I know spent the rest of his life in prison. On the day of the murder (March 11, 1963) Smith was seen at the Goldberg home shortly before her husband discovered Bessie dead in the home. The murder was investigated by former Boston cop Mike Giacoppo who within hours had tracked Smith down and arrested him.

How did the salem witch trials work?
The legal trials were standard to the era. Groups of accused (five in most cases, eight in one and a single person in the only exception) were sent in front of a panel of judges headed by William Stoughton. Those judges listened to the wails of the afflicted and nearly immediately pronounced each guilty. Except for Rebecca Nurse, who was deemed innocent and then the reaction of the crowd forced a reconsideration.
The factor V assay is a blood test to measure the activity of factor V -- one of the substances involved in blood clotting (coagulation).
How the test is performedBlood is typically drawn from a vein, usually from the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand. The area is cleaned with germ-killing medicine (antiseptic). The health care provider wraps an elastic band around the upper arm to apply pressure to the area and make the vein swell with blood.
Next, the health care provider gently inserts a needle into the vein. The blood collects into an airtight vial or tube attached to the needle. The elastic band is removed from your arm. Once the blood has been collected, the needle is removed, and the puncture site is covered to stop any bleeding.
In infants or young children, a sharp tool called a lancet may be used to puncture the skin and make it bleed. The blood collects into a small glass tube called a pipette, or onto a slide or test strip. A bandage may be placed over the area if there is any bleeding.
How to prepare for the testNo special preparation is needed.
How the test will feelWhen the needle is inserted to draw blood, you may feel moderate pain, or only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
Why the test is performedThis test is used to find the cause of too much bleeding (decreased blood clotting).
Normal ValuesThe value is normally 50 - 200% of the laboratory control or reference value.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
What abnormal results meanDecreased factor V activity may be related to:
- Deficiency of factor V that is present at birth (congenital)
- Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)
- Liver disease(such as cirrhosis)
- Primary fibrinolysis
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another, and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
- Excessive bleeding
- Fainting or feeling light-headed
- Hematoma (blood accumulating under the skin)
- Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)
This test is most often performed on people who have bleeding problems. The risk of excessive bleeding is slightly greater than for people without bleeding problems.
Special considerationsWhen you bleed, the body launches a series of activities that help the blood clot. This is called the coagulation cascade. The process involves special proteins called coagulation factors (factor V is a coagulation factor).
Each factor's reaction triggers the next reaction. The final product of the coagulation cascade is the blood clot. Blood clots may not form normally if any one of the clotting factors is abnormally low.
