They even haunt her dreams and Strunge could not be happier. “I love monsters, “says the 25-year old artist from Baltimore. Md., whose handcrafted creatures are winning her an international following,. In wild and varying colors of vintage fabrics, made without patterns so that no two are ever alike, her…

So I’ve collected information from many different websites to create an explanation on how the Polynesians travelled across the entire pacific. The early Polynesians were intelligent explorers who settled in remote islands in the pacific. The Polynesians are descendants of the Lapita people who lived on the Solomon Islands in the western Pacific Ocean. The Lapita people settled in…

England is often depicted as an octopus; colonizing other nations, but it is not the only one. In the late 1800s, many European countries have taken an interest in the country of Africa.

The main motivations they believe to have enabled the colonization were nationalism, economy, and “The White Man’s Burden”. The industrial revolution, that occurred during this, boosted the economy significantly and…

Underwater creatures are amazing and delightful. Some spotted jellyfish that are large have small fishes living with them. Narwhals have a tusk that is actually a tooth that can grow to 10 feet long, but not all narwhals have tusks. Octopi are the smartest invertebrates.

word souvla means both “skewer” and “sword,” so when you consume a souvlakia you are eating a “little sword.” Traditionally souvlakia are cooked with meat and vegetables, but I also really enjoy them made with seafood—use any kind of fish, shrimp, octopus, or mussels. You may be surprised to see fish sauce used in the recipe, something that is usually associated with Asian cooking. However, the ancient Greeks used to manufacture a liquid from fermented fish called garos, and it was one of the…
