Clipperton Island

Isla Holbox, an island just northwest of Cancun, Mexico, has always sustained human life; the Mayans and other indigenous people of Central America and Mexico steadily populated the islands of Quintana Roo. However, During the 17th and 18th centuries Isla Holbox was pirated due to the strategic location. In 1873, European buccaneers fell in love with the beauty of Isla Holbox and decided to settle down on the island. At the end of the 19th century, Yucatan entrepreneurs began the colonization of the mainland. In the 1960’s Isla Holbox had dwindled down to a population of around 500 inhabitants; today, the the 26 mile long and .9 mile long island has around 1800 inhabitants and has a potential for tourist development. Although the ability to profit off of tourism, Isla Holbox is still not heavily toured.

Located 30 minutes north of Atlanta, Georgia, this is a truly amazing lake. It is a large lake filled with islands, hence the name. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, this beautiful lake is the place to go. It is quite commercialized with resort hotels and water parks, spa center, and campgrounds dotting its white sand shores, but the lake itself is breathtakingly gorgeous.

Visiting a different island in the Caribbean each summer has always been a family tradition of mine. The first few years never failed to make me fall in love with each and every one of them, but once my family suggested on visiting Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, the eighth year, my thoughts were not so hyped. Going to the same sea each year can get old and boring. When we finally got to Punta Cana, falling in love was too short of a term to describe what I felt for it. As soon as we landed we were greeted with songs and happiness all around. The nobleness lingering in the atmosphere, coconut smell in the air, and architecture went beyond my imagination.

Macquarie Island is a natural site yet human research has helped the life on the island.

On February 1736, James Oglethorpe and the first English settlers arrived on St. Simons Island. Then in March 1736, Reverend Charles Wesley, a Methodist, entered his ministry at Frederica. Georgia became a royal colony in 1752. The Revolutionary War prevented the establishment of an official church on St. Simons Island. Following the Revolutionary War, in 1808, Christ Church began. The small population on St. Simons possessed great beliefs and followed the teachings of Christ even though there was no church building until 1820. The first church, constructed on the same spot where the current church now stands.

I think what strikes me most about the founding of the American colonies is. That Jamestown was settled in 1607 for a joint stuck company to trade investments over the ocean. The Settlers landed on a island in 1607 and called it "Jamestown Island". Jamestown island had a deep water channel for letting their ships ride close to the shore; However Jamestown island had many different problems. First the island was swamp which cause Unhealthy conditions and a risk of insects disease. Second the timing of settling their brought drought not only to the american settlers, but to native Americans. They weren't able to to grow their own crops. In 1607 38 people survived out of 104. Between 1604-1624 only 1200 immigrants survived out of 10,000 due of

Winter is still in full swing, and will be for a few more months, which means there are still pests out there looking for a warm, comfortable place to go to avoid the cold weather. If you have not prepared your home for winter, then your house is a target and chances are they'll find a way in and make themselves at home. When this happens, you may find yourself dealing with bigger problems than unwanted roommates.

The Lake Winnipesaukee is the largest lake in the state of New Hampshire. This is a really popular spring and summer destination for residents of the big cities nearby such as New York City and Boston.

“More repairs to the lighthouse were in the works when the American Revolution intervened. In July 1775, Boston Harbor and the lighthouse were under the control of the British. On July 20, American troops under Major Joseph Vose landed at the lighthouse and took lamps, oil, and some gunpowder, and burned the wooden parts of the tower. After leaving the island they had to outrun an armed British schooner, and two Americans were wounded. An eyewitness described “the flames of the lighthouse ascending up to Heaven, like grateful incense, and the ships wasting their powder.”

Many historic places have gone through numerous transformations from the start of its creation, during or after. The site underwent multiple stages of transformations. The “birth” of the location took place 1829. The Staten Island Farm Colony began with only two acres of land. With success came the need of more land, which led to another purchase of land that vastly expanded its territory. The ninety- one acre purchase of land allowed the colonists to cultivate more crops. There was so much land that there was a lot more room to experiment with. The Staten Island Farm Colony originally started as a poor farm ("NYC Farm Colony & Seaview Hospital”). The idea of this expansion came shortly after the realization that the colony was growing in

In the words of Eurylochus “'Dear friends, no need for stealth:o here's a young weaver singing a pretty song to set the airatingle on these lawns and paven courts.Goddess she is, or lady. Shall we greet her?'”

Karana looks out at the sunset every night on the cliffs around the Island that is surrounded by the beautiful blue ocean. It is always windy on the Island. There are lots of dolphins swimming in the water around the Island. The Island is two leagues long and one league wide, and if you were standing on one of the hills that rise in the middle of it you would think it looks like a fish.

“Rosette was born the same day that Gambo disappeared. That is how it was. Rosette helped me through the worry that they would take him alive and with the emptiness he left in my heart. I was absorbed in my daughter. That Gambo was running through the jungle pursued by Cambray 's dogs occupied only a part of my thoughts” (Allende, 134) Those words are said by Zarité, the main character of the book Island Beneath the Sea by the Chilean Isabel Allende, translated and published in the United States on 2009. It starts on the Island of Saint-Domingue (actual Haiti) from 1770 to 1793 and the second part, take place on Louisiana, USA, from 1793 to 1810. About the main character, Allende said: "Of all the characters I created, that of Zarité for me that I have more the feeling that existed". While Island beneath the Sea, I have been clarifying, predicting and finally, evaluating.

As to be expected, Director Wes Anderson once again delivers a masterfully crafted stop-motion animation film Isle of Dogs with distinctive style and striking visuals. Anderson captures the spirit of each canine character behavior with palpable affection and a careful eye for detail while addressing ideas of fear and aggression with underlying messages about distrust of the government and public resistance. Isle of Dogs is an artful masterpiece of skillful word building that lures viewers into the story with aplomb.

The case Palsgraf v. Long Island R.R., 248; N.E. 99 (N.Y. 1928) was initiated by one of the passengers of the Long Island railway station. The man who was carrying a bundle of fireworks inside a bag rushed to the station. Upon entering the station he was checked by Train Safety Administrator (TSA). He was allowed to take the fireworks with him because the fireworks sticks were wrapped in the newspaper. The fireworks were not visible. The man rushed to the side where other passengers were standing; among the people who were standing at the station, there was the Long Island Railway employee. The man fell down beside railway employee and immediately the bag which contained the fireworks slipped down to the point where Mrs. Palsgraf was standing. The friction from the bag falling caused the fireworks to ignite. This led to the explosion in front of Mrs. Palsgraf. The explosion forced the scales off the resting point. The scale fell against Mrs. Palsgraf, resulting in her injury. Mrs. Palsgraf sued Long Island Railway alleging that the railway employees contributed to her injury and she was entitled to recover damages.
