Arthur Beaupré was chose to communicate with Colombia but negotiations continued to go poorly as, “he was frequently blunt, even dictatorial, in his

Between the years of 1535 and 1547, some sixty-six Spanish ships were captured by French corsairs (Lane 19). Shortly after in the 1550’s, the Spanish came to regret their passive defense strategy when French corsairs made their most punishing raids ever on the Spanish West Indies. They descended on colonies like Puerto Rico, Hispaniola and Cuba, and caused heavy destruction that they never really recovered from. Finally in the early 1560’s, Spain was forced to react with expensive long-term defenses. Since the Spanish waited so long to do so they not only lost wealth because of what was captured, but now they also had to spend money to protect what was left.

We think that daily spot hire rate will likely decrease next year. There are two reasons. First, there are 63 new vessels scheduled for delivery in 2001 to increase the supply of vessel and only few old vessels need to be retired, while the demand will not increase because imports of iron ore and coal would remain stagnant over next two years. Second, exhibit 5 shows that avg. spot rate of 2000 was higher than the rate of previous years and avg. 3-yr charter rate. In addition, the market will seemingly go up after two years. Therefore, ship owners should hope to sign short-term contract through using lower daily spot hire rate rather than locking low daily high rate for a long period.

Studying the Holocaust this year has changed my views on humanity greatly: it has put other historical events into context (including World War 1), given some perspective of the magnitude of those events, and taught me just how evil parts of the human race can be. Different forms of research have affected me in different ways, but they are all haunting in various ways.

Between 1,500 and 1,600 Cuban exiles were deployed to Cuba at the Bay of Pigs in several ships, but Castro’s troops were ready for them and no popular uprising ever occurred. The invaders pleaded for air support, and much to the shock of the CIA, Kennedy stood his ground in his refusal, fearing a Soviet counter move against West Berlin. The entire sordid affair had a profound effect on Kennedy, who told an influential journalist friend “the first advice I’m going to give my successor is to watch the generals and to avoid feeling their opinions on Military matters are worth a damn.” Publicly, Kennedy took full responsibility for the fiasco. Privately, however, he was furious at the Joint Chiefs of Staff, calling them “sons of bitches” and those

Cuban exiles were trained to land on the south shore of Cuba and raise the Cuban population in an overthrow of his regime, but the plan went horribly wrong (Bay of Pigs). Not only did the bombers meant to cripple the Cuban air force miss many of their targets, but also the Cuban population then failed to insurrect against their government. Castro, having already garnered intelligence of the exiles’ training camps years earlier, ordered troops to advance on the exiles at the beach, and Kennedy made the decision to cancel air support in an attempt to disguise

I learned that if you take a step back and look at romans ecosystem and how it all flows. As a science major it 's so interesting to make comparisons of how rome was then to how humans are now. We all act the same in so many ways. From the way that we set up our social class to the way that we have politics, to some extent even though the things we learned about happened so long ago there are so many connections that we can make to now that it is really amazing.
