It employs the Tiny D6 engine to drive the mechanics of your adventures. While veterans of Tiny D6 games will see much that they recognize, there are many new things here designed to give you that authentic Tiny Pirates experience. Sample file 4 The World ofThe World Pirates Tiny TheThe WorldWorld ofof TinyTiny PiratesPirates Piracy exists all over the world and throughout history. It has thrived beyond the Caribbean in places like the Mediterranean, Indian Ocean, and China Sea. It also is a common trope within fantasy and even sci fi stories, games, and settings. While this game focuses on the Golden Age of Piracy in the Caribbean, the rules do not limit Game Masters or players to this one location or time. You can set your games during Tiny Pirates is explicitly designed to slot with other TinyD6 games any time or place, even integrating the to provide infinite combinations. rules here into other Tiny D6 games. If you want magic, dinosaurs or other fantastic elements, look to The Golden Age of Piracy Tiny Dungeon 2e!. For roughly 100 years, starting around 1650 and growing until the mid-1700’s, piracy flourished throughout the Americas and across the globe. Numerous unemployed sailors, massive increases in international shipping, and continuous wars fought by various world powers drove this blossoming of piratical action. Blackbeard, Anne Bonny, Bartholomew Roberts, Ching Shih, Henry Morgan, Moses Cohen Henriques, Mary Read, and Jean LaFitte are just a few of the famous pirates who operated during this time. SampleChing Shih operated the largest fleet of pirate fileships ever in history, and she defeated the entire Chinese Navy. Henry Morgan sacked some of the most powerful Spanish cities in the Caribbean, including a daring campaign across Panama. Roberts is famous 5 Sample file 6.

  • Jewish Pirates
    Jewish Pirates by Long John Silverman The Wikipedia page on piracy gives you a lot of clues, if you know what to look for. One of the biggest clues are these two sentences, conspicuously stuck right next to each other: The earliest documented instances of piracy are the exploits of the Sea Peoples who threatened the ships sailing in the Aegean and Mediterranean waters in the 14th century BC. In classical antiquity, the Phoenicians, Illyrians and Tyrrhenians were known as pirates. Wikipedia is all but admitting what our historians do gymnastics to avoid admitting: Sea Peoples = Phoenicians. Just as we suspected. We can ignore “Illyrians” and “Tyrrhenians,” which are just poorly devised synonyms for Phoenicians. Wiki tells us Tyrrhenian is simply what the Greeks called a non-Greek person, but then it states that Lydia was “the original home of the Tyrrhenians,” which belies the fact that they were known by the Greeks as a specific people from a specific place, not just any old non-Greek person. Wiki then cleverly tells us “Spard” or “Sard” was a name “closely connected” to the name Tyrrhenian, since the Tyrrhenian city of Lydia was called Sardis by the Greeks. (By the way, coins were first invented in Lydia – so they were some of the earliest banksters). But that itself is misleading, since the Lydians also called themselves Śfard. Nowhere is the obvious suggested – that Spard/Śfard looks a lot like Sephardi, as in Sephardi Jews. These refer to Jews from the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal), the word coming from Sepharad, a place mentioned in the book of Obadiah whose location is lost to history.

  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers in Bessemer
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.

    Agenda Item E.5.b Supplemental Public Comment 2 Full Version Electronic Only April 2015 April 2, 2015 111 SW Columbia Street, Suite 200 Portland, Oregon 97201 Dorothy Lowman, Chair pewtrusts.org Pacific Fishery Management Council 1100 NE Ambassador Place, #101 Portland, OR 97220 RE: Agenda Item E.5 (Groundfish Essential Fish Habitat Amendment Scoping, Including RCA and Area Adjustments) Dear Chair Lowman and Council Members, We write to express our support for the Pacific Fishery Management Council’s (Council) ongoing efforts to develop an amendment to its Groundfish Fishery Management Plan (FMP) to holistically address and improve both habitat protections and economic opportunities in the fishery. Such an approach is another example of the Council’s demonstrated commitment to the implementation of Ecosystem-Based Fishery Management (EBFM), not only through its Fishery Ecosystem Plan (FEP) and related Ecosystem Initiatives, but also through more traditional actions taken under its four existing single-species FMPs. At the April Council meeting, we ask the Council to advance this Groundfish FMP amendment by delineating a broad scope for the action and providing guidance on the development of a wide range of alternatives. We place special emphasis on including alternatives expanding bottom trawl closures of unfished areas to the pristine deepwater beyond the 3,500 meter depth contour and on protection of deep sea corals (DSC) and other structure forming invertebrates. On the following pages we offer detailed recommendations in these and

  • Introduction to Jacob Boehme
    This companion will prove an invaluable resource for all those engaged in research or teaching on Jacob Boehme and his readers, as historians, philos- ophers, literary scholars or theologians. Boehme is “on the radar” of many researchers, but often avoided as there are relatively few aids to understand- ing his thought, its context and subsequent appeal. This book includes a fi ne spread of topics and specialists. Cyril O’Regan, University of Notre Dame, USA 66244-139-0FM-2pass-r02.indd244-139-0FM-2pass-r02.indd i 55/31/2013/31/2013 88:46:56:46:56 AAMM 66244-139-0FM-2pass-r02.indd244-139-0FM-2pass-r02.indd iiii 55/31/2013/31/2013 88:48:14:48:14 AAMM An Introduction to Jacob Boehme This volume brings together for the fi rst time some of the world’s leading authorities on the German mystic Jacob Boehme to illuminate his thought and its reception over four centuries for the benefi t of students and advanced scholars alike. Boehme’s theosophical works have infl uenced Western culture in profound ways since their dissemination in the early seventeenth century, and these interdisciplinary essays trace the social and cultural networks as well as the intellectual pathways involved in Boehme’s enduring impact. The chapters range from situating Boehme in the sixteenth-century Radical Reformation to discussions of his signifi cance in modern theology. They explore the major contexts for Boehme’s reception, including the Pietist movement, Russian religious thought, and Western esotericism. In addition, they focus more closely on important readers, including the religious rad- icals of the English Civil Wars and the later English Behmenists, literary fi gures such as Goethe and Blake, and great philosophers of the modern age such as Schelling and Hegel.

  • Sephardic Pirates of the Revolutionary War
    Sephardic Pirates of the Revolutionary War Presenter: Jim Harlow Co-sponsored by Friendship - Jews and George Washington To the Hebrew Congregation in Rabbi Newport Rhode Island. Aaron Lopez Michael Hays Gershom Seixas Jacob Hart Moses Myers Gentlemen, While I receive, with much satisfaction, your Address replete with expressions of affection and esteem; I rejoice in the opportunity of assuring you, that I shall always retain a grateful remembrance of the cordial welcome I experienced in my visit to Newport, from all classes of Citizens. The reflection on the days of difficulty and danger which are past is rendered the more sweet, from a consciousness that they are succeeded by days of uncommon prosperity and security. If we have wisdom to make the best use of the advantages with which we are now favored, we cannot fail, under the just administration of a good Government, to become a great and happy people. The Citizens of the United States of America have a right to applaud themselves for having given to mankind examples of an enlarged and liberal policy: a policy worthy of imitation. All possess alike liberty of conscience and immunities of citizenship. It is now no more that toleration is spoken of, as if it was by the indulgence of one class of people, that another enjoyed the exercise of their inherent national gifts. For happily the Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens, in giving it on all occasions their effectual support.

  • Jewish Pirates of the Caribbean? It Is True ? You Better Believe It!
    Jewish pirates of the Caribbean? It Is True ? You Better Believe it! Researched by George Plohn, who always wanted to be a pirate, but somehow ended up here at the Esplanade instead… Ships called the ‘Queen Esther,’ the ‘Prophet Samuel’ and the ‘Shield of Abraham’ roamed the high seas. In 1645 there were 1,630 “Portuguese”, a term then synonymous with Jews living in Recife, Brazil, according to Dutch historian Franz Leonard Schalkwijk. In 1654, 23 of them escaped religious persecution by ship and arrived at the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam – today New York City. Where did the other refugees flee to? Some returned to Amsterdam, others disembarked at the nearby Dutch Caribbean colony of Curaçao. Less well-known is that some of the escaping Jews sought shelter in Jamaica, the luscious Caribbean island that was then the home to several hundred Jews and Bnei Anusim (descendants of Spanish and Portuguese Jews who converted to Roman Catholicism under compulsion). Jamaica at the time was an anomaly in the New World – a private fiefdom awarded in perpetuity to Christopher Columbus and his heirs in 1494 by Spain’s Catholic Monarchs. Whether the explorer was himself a crypto-Jew (crypto means a person having a secret allegiance to a certain creed) is an unresolved historical issue. For over a century the Columbus kins kept their privately held domain free of the clutches of Spain’s inquisitors. Jamaica was only one among the many remote and distant locales in the New World where Jews and apostates sought a haven far from the rapacious inquisitors of Spain and Portugal.
