The Early Seventeenth Century of the English East India Company in the Spice Archipelago The English Company's first interest lay in the Malay Archipelago and the Spice islands, although from the start it faced considerable competition from Dutch merchants. The fleet of the first voyage (1600) visited Acheen in Sumatra and Bantam in Java; in both places the commander, James Lancaster, obtained permission to trade and to establish a factory. He also visits the Moluccas. The fleet of the second…

Dragon Heads was her first solo after Ulay and she placed five boas and pythons all around her body. Marina had to be “dependent upon complete calm and relaxation.” Marina has won awards in her life for her performances. In 1997 she performed Balkan Baroque and won the Golden Lion Award for Best Artist. During this…

The distinction between humans and animals in fact depends upon humans, as only beings that possess reason can be reasonable, and only those with such an ability that then fail to be temperate are reduced to a subhuman being. Human status is reached “not merely through struggle within the individual but also through the struggle between individuals,” and Lear relies on diminishing his daughters in order to maintain supremacy (Fudge 67). Lear emphasizes his daughter’s vices by comparing their…

BANG! The sound of the gun going off and suddenly hundreds of feet are pounding on the ground. The heat is oppressive it wraps around me like a boa constrictor and won't let go. Every time I breath it comes out in raspy breaths. I try to swallow my spit because it is the only thing closest to water I will get for the next 5,000 meters. Whenever I do swallow my it is as if I am forcing sandpaper down my throat, which is slowing getting smaller. I need to ignore all of that and work on not getting…

History In the earliest cycling days there were many head injuries. As more roads were paved the likelihood of head injuries increased. In the 1800’s high-wheel users in clubs realized head injuries were a problem so they started wearing pith helmets. Pith is a crushable material and would probably break up on contact but it was likely the best material available. There weren’t many cars so they only needed protection against one impact. After the pith helmets came, helmets made of strips of…

found it a specimen of the Shakespearian “Problem Plays”. “It was overwhelmingly judged as a failed comedy and, as if to stress the distinctiveness of its failure, labeled as a “problem play” or “problem comedy,” terminology which originated with F. S. Boas in 1896” (Gray Waller). The image of this newly filed work in the Seventeenth century gave it the title of the “Shakespearian Comedies”. Somehow, the pain in enigma may be imminent in the work enough describing it more of a grave nature and…

the probes. The primary focus of the present study will be the [oxy-Hb] signal because of the better signal-to-noise ratio, as well as the stronger relationship with the blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) signals measured by fMRI (Strangman, Boas, & Sutton,…

“A heritage beyond St. Louis”, a line from the sentimental recollection of memories of Colleen McElroy’s poem “For My Children”. Fascinatingly, McElroy was born just right across the river/40 minute drive from our very own house, on October 30, 1935 (Reid). Although born in St. Louis, Missouri she took up the studies and writing with a distinct African tone in her work. Colleen McElroy’s poem “For My Children” incorporates her African American heritage as well as African language and dialect,…

Linguistic Evidentiality in Arawan, Luchuan, and Livonian An often overlooked yet fascinating aspect of the plethora of languages spoken throughout the planet, is the information they require their speakers to provide whenever describing something. For example, in the English language, there are many nouns to describe humans that do not differentiate between male and female, like friend. However, in Spanish, if one wants to refer to someone they consider a friend, it is necessary to use either…

Every society struggles to find a balance between duty and law; it is a part of human nature to feel responsibility towards their kin, but also to develop a set of standards for their comunities to follow. In many cases, the law and duty to family conflict with one another, as they are both central to the values of human beings, creating a constant conflict in every society. Sophocles demonstrates this conflict in The Antigone, where duty and law conflict and cause a tragic end for the royal…
