The proposed changes are patterned after incentives already adopted by the City of Whiteville, incentives which would exempt from property taxation for five years any improvements made to businesses for renovation and expansion. While Whiteville’s program has no cap, the proposed policy commissioners will consider would limit the incentive to either $250,000 or $200,000, depending on seemingly contradictory language in the document. A brochure on the City of Whiteville’s program, after which the proposed county program would be modeled, explains that “The program is for property owners to take part in and is intended to encourage the rehabilitation and Photo by GRANT MERRITT The Class of 2016 Fifteen Under 40 is shown at a celebration in their honor at Vineland Station Friday night.

  • Cultural Imaginations of Piracy in Video Games
    FORUM FOR INTER-AMERICAN RESEARCH (FIAR) VOL. 11.2 (SEP. 2018) 30-43 ISSN: 1867-1519 © forum for inter-american research “In a world without gold, we might have been heroes!” Cultural Imaginations of Piracy in Video Games EUGEN PFISTER (HOCHSCHULE DER KÜNSTE BERN) Abstract From its beginning, colonialism had to be legitimized in Western Europe through cultural and political narratives and imagery, for example in early modern travel reports and engravings. Images and tales of the exotic Caribbean, of beautiful but dangerous „natives“, of unbelievable fortunes and adventures inspired numerous generations of young men to leave for the „new worlds“ and those left behind to support the project. An interesting figure in this set of imaginations in North- Western Europe was the “pirate”: poems, plays, novels and illustrations of dashing young rogues, helping their nation to claim their rightful share of the „Seven Seas“ achieved major successes in France, Britain the Netherlands and beyond. These images – regardless of how far they might have been from their historical inspiration – were immensely successful and are still an integral and popular part of our narrative repertoire: from novels to movies to video games. It is important to note that the “story” was – from the 18th century onwards –almost always the same: a young (often aristocratic) man, unfairly convicted for a crime he didn’t commit became an hors-la-loi against his will but still adhered to his own strict code of conduct and honour. By rescuing a city/ colony/princess he redeemed himself and could be reintegrated into society. Here lies the morale of the story: these imaginations functioned also as acts of political communication, teaching “social discipline”.

  • The Scourge of the Land and Sea. an Awful Outlaw Or a Romantic Hero?
    The scourge of the land and sea An awful outlaw or a romantic hero? As long as people sailed through the rivers and the high seas there were those who tried to gain wealth by depriving others of their possessions. The existence of the sea rovers or, more precisely, sea robbers, is intricately connected with the developed commerce and conflicts among different communities and countries. In peaceful times in well-organized states piracy is usually viewed as an abomination and pirates are social outcasts living on the verge of normal communities under the strict official rule. They are the violent strangers, dealing with death and destruction, bringing flames, slavery and plunder. Hence the sea robbers are the aliens – cruel, colorful, constantly drunk, and, to some extent, free. They are definitely very different from the ordinary folks. In this article I would like to explain the difference between pirates and corsairs and present, in short, the tradition of Western piracy. The important factor of sea roving was the daily existence of mariners which distinguished typical sailors from land dwellers. I would like to describe the reality of life aboard the ship in the golden age of sail. It might be helpful in developing a better understanding of the romantic allure of piracy which survived to our very days. Johann Wolfgang Goethe in his probably most famous work, Faust, put into the mouth of Mephistopheles memorable words: I know a little of navigation: War, trade, and piracy, allow, As three in one, no separation1. And indeed: he was right. Nowadays – in the 21st century – the dire risk of being robbed while at sea does not want to cease to exist.

The time period has been fictionalized and glorified by contemporary society, oftentimes weaving together factual accounts of the men and women who had a role in the Golden Age with dramatized fiction to provide us the tales of the swashbucklers we know today. What this research paper aims to do is to provide a factual account of what being a pirate in the Golden Age was truly like, while debunking the myths and legends that surround this era of maritime history. iv Introduction: A Pirate’s Life For Me The King and his men stole the Queen from her bed and bound her in her bones the seas be ours and by the powers where we will we'll roam Yo ho, all hands Hoist the colors high Heave ho, thieves and beggars Never shall we die Now some have died and some are alive and others sail on sea with the keys to the cage and the Devil to pay we lay to Fiddler's Green.

In another story, this father of Calypso and the Pleiades (PLEE-ah-dees) agrees to help a hero who is working for King Eurystheus (YOO-ris-the-us). However, after this figure gets the Golden Apples from the Hesperides (Hess-"PEAR"-ah-dees), he is tricked by that hero, Hercules, into returning to his job. For 10 points, name this mythological titan who was punished by Zeus to hold the heavens on his shoulders. ANSWER: Atlas [or Atlas Telamon] 023-12-36-05101 2. Camille Saint-Saens was offended by this work’s use of a high bassoon solo in its opening measures. This work is divided into two parts, “Adoration of the Earth” and “The Sacrifice.” This ballet expanded on the musical innovations of its composer’s previous work Petrushka, and its radical use of polytonality and polyrhythm sparked a riot at its 1913 premiere in Paris. For 10 points, name this ballet depicting a pagan ritual, a work of Igor Stravinsky. ANSWER: The Rite of Spring [or Le sacre du printemps] 014-12-36-05102 3. A successful instance of this action occurred after the Tenure of Office Act was violated by Edwin Stanton’s removal as Secretary of War. A report by Kenneth Starr describing a relationship with Monica Lewinsky led to another case of this action being achieved.

Nick Kardulias March 5, 2012 Abstract Despite modern conceptions, pirates were not typically cruel, greedy, and dishonest men of the lowest social ranks, but often began as privateers for local navies. It was only when they attacked an unassigned target that their status changed to that of piracy in the eyes of their patrons. However, if the illegal attack was against an enemy, the Crown often allowed the action to continue.
