...Spanish resistance continued for some years after the English conquest, in some cases with the help of the Jamaican Maroons, but Spain never succeeded in retaking the island. Under early English rule, Jamaica became a haven of privateers, buccaneers, and occasionally outright pirates: Christopher Myngs, Edward Mansvelt, and most famously, Henry Morgan. The English established their main coastal town at Port Royal. By 1659, two hundred houses, shops, and warehouses surrounded the fort. The town was destroyed by an earthquake in 1692, after which Kingston became the main coastal settlement. Spanish Town has the oldest cathedral of the British colonies in the Caribbean. William penn and venables failed to conqur the Spanish in Hispaniola in 1654 and came to poorly defended Jamaica . by 1656 the small group that was left started to do well in trading. They grew and traded cooa, coffee and sugar cane. Along with the English setytlers there were settlers from Wales and Scotland who came into the island as indentured labourers to help with the trading. The first class were the white men, who owned property, or who had professions and trades. They were well-off and spent their money freely. They were not careful in their habits, and so they died at an early age, as a rule. The second class also consisted of white men; but these were almost slaves. It was the custom in those days to send to the American colonies people who inGreat Britain had been convicted of some crime. These were...

Location of Study Area Methodology On Monday, May 20, 2013, the Geography Department of Wolmer’s Boys’ School organized for students to visit sections of the South East coastline of Jamaica. The locations of study were scheduled to be Palisadoes Tombolo in Kingston and Green Wall in St. Thomas. However, due to the rainy weather we only studied the features of the Palisadoes Tombolo in Kingston on the 20th of May. The materials used to carry out the observation were: notebook, pen, maps, camera, stopwatch and textbooks. At each location, the first instruction given by the teacher was to observe and take photos of the features of the area that was being studied. This helped us to understand the structure of the area and special features and processes taking place. At all the locations a stopwatch was used to time the number of waves per minute. However, the height of the waves was all estimated at the different...

...the city is tough. He is taken advantage of by people before he learns to live in the big city. Before he starts the singing career he will have to settle down and get a job. But getting a normal job in the city is very difficult to find, and in his search for a job he both goes to the rich neighbor hood and the poor slum. It is very interesting to see in this movie how the city is described and divided in this movie, and it is worth noticing that even though it is the same city, he actually travels from the third world to the western life style. It is also described how the western society in Kingston can control the third world area in form the police. Though the police have total control, they are still getting bribed by the drug lords. That is a very essential indicator of Kingston being a big city in the third world. The main problem is that the drugs are being exported out of Kingston and into America, we hear about the plain that got busted by the police and had a load of drugs worth 100.000 $.

...liabilities of Cena, Rock, Kofi and Punk. First and foremost delivery driver Cena failed to check his trailer was properly coupled to his truck. While driving the trailer detaches, rolling down hill colliding with Rock, a motorcyclist. Due to Cena’s negligence Rock, not wearing a crash helmet suffered severe injuries and damages to his body and motorcycle. Per Lord Atkins “we owe a duty of care if it is reasonable to foresee that another person might suffer damage as a result of our act or omissions”. (Lord Atkins) Rock may state, surely Cena had a duty of care to ensure his vehicle was suited for purpose. Nevertheless, since Rock was not wearing a helmet, Cena may argue that Rock is liable for some of his injuries. Comparably under the case of Smith V Leech Brain & Co Ltd and Another [1962] All Er 1159, Smith incurs fatal injuries when molten metal burns his lips, leading to cancer and eventual death. This being said, Smith “already had a pre-malignant condition”. The defendant argued, “Smith may have contracted cancer due to his condition, regardless of the accident”. (Smith V Leech Brain, 1962) Conversely, but for the burn, Smith may have never developed cancer. According to Thin Skull Rule “a defendant is liable for the full extent of the victim's injuries even if, due to some abnormality or pre-existing condition, the victim suffers greater harm as a result of the defendant's actions than the 'ordinary’ victim would suffer.” (Finch, E and Fafinski, S, 2007) All things...

...Professor Mason | The Night Before Graduation | Descriptive essay | | Adrian | 1/29/2012 | | Midnight had struck as my friend Niki and I were walking on Apple Street. By this time the rain had been on its way, leaving the air with a warm and humid touch. A feeling of excitement entered my ears as I heard the faint of sound of music and laughter. I found myself walking at a faster pace along this dark, winding road. Not exactly sure what to expect for the night, I could only hope that it would lead to being something to remember forever. Upon arriving to the farm, I was in astonishment, almost like confusion. It seemed like everyone I had attended high school with was there. It was a sight I will never forget; it resembled a scene from a movie or a TV show. There were hundreds of kids just enjoying themselves at a crazy and wild party. As I proceeded to walk toward the voluptuous crowd of dancing and music, Niki said, “Time to get trashed”. With complete confusion, I turned to my left only to see her mixing some concoction. The smell of alcohol had always turned my stomach inside out, but for some reason on this night when she asked me if I would like some I said yes. With my first sip, I was immediately turned off. The taste was horrendously out of this world and on top of that it burned. Instantly, I gave the drink back to her along with a slew of complaints. “Ewwww Niki. That’s horrible. How on earth can you ever drink something like that?” She...

...Discuss workable solutions to the scourge of corruption and political tribalism in Jamaica. Corruption is by no means an observable fact that is confined to Jamaica alone, it is, nevertheless, considered by many to be the largest single impediment to our country’s ability to attain sustained economic growth and development. According to Rose-Ackerman 2001 corruption is defined as the dishonest behaviour that violates the trust placed in a public official. The behaviour of such unlawful actions occurs in instances when government officials and employees abuse their power for financial or non-financial gain to obtain personal benefits and or political interests for their families, or their social networks. Presently, corruption is a major global concern as there is an abundant of evidence that it has the capacity to undermine democracy, rule of law, as well as to drive fragile and developing countries, like Jamaica who is ranked eighty three (83) on the list of the world most corrupted countries. According to former Contractor General Greg Christie, “corruption has slowly deteriorated the quality of life of many in our society, as it has denied mainly the lower class citizens in Jamaica access to basic things to which they are entitled, such as water, electricity, roads, health care, housing and education.” This is as a result of many government officials not equally distributed the funding garnered to the betterment of its citizens but instead selfishly used it for their...

...she explains that a single story is one story we hear over and over again about a person or a place and interact with that person or place through the lens of that one story. She argues that, “The single story creates stereotypes and the problem with stereotypes is not that they are untrue but that they are incomplete. They make one story become the only story”. A single story is dangerous for two reasons: it flattens our experience with another person and it can negatively affect the identity of a human being. When we engage with another person through the lens of a single story, we lose the opportunity of experiencing the depth of a person because we are simply not made up of one story, but of many stories. Similarly, and in some cases much worse, a single story can negatively shape the identity of a person when the single story we believe is not about another, but about our self. A single story is dangerous only when it is left unchallenged. When we challenge a single story we’ve been told, we gain the power to positively change the direction of another person’s life or of our own. 1 Rodriguez 2 In the book, Tattoos of the Heart by Father Gregory Boyle, he shows the significance of seeing people as equal. He shares in a vignette from his book, an experience...

She was taken away from her parents at the age of nine years old, she was a proud advocate speaker, and she finally escaped slavery. First, Truth parents were born into slavery in 1797 to November 26,1883. When she was nine years old, she was taken away from her parents and, brought to to a rather terrible plantation.

...With these developments, it is obvious that conflicts between parties of different nationalities occur and liability to tax on income of foreigners especially among those engaging in trading venture. Whilst the laws affecting domicile and residence may be sufficiently settled, it is paramount for courts to pursue a detailed analysis to ascertain specific preliminary issues so as to avoid controversial rulings. Courts often handle numerous financial cases that involve what can be best described as foreign or international elements. In such cases, court must decide whether it has the jurisdiction under the Family Law Act 1975 to make a decision on such cases. In the event that it is determined that the court is invested with the jurisdiction to determine the case, the court has to consider whether there is a system of law in foreign country that also has the jurisdiction to handle the case. As it was addressed in the case Attorney General of New Zealand v Ortiz [1984] AC 1, these benefits and costs to either party if the case resolution is made in foreign country as compared with the apparent country should also be a subject of concern. [1] Legal systems in most countries around the world adopt community property regime, which takes effect at the inception of marriage or at the time of divorce.

...Adapted from Bernhardt & Kinnear (1988). Cases in marketing management, pp. 6-16. Plano, TX: Business Publications, Inc. Pay careful attention to the following points. They are often used by instructors to evaluate either a written or oral analysis. 1. Be complete. Each area of the situation analysis must be discussed, problems and opportunities identified, alternative presented and evaluated using the situation analysis and relevant financial analysis, and a decision must be made. An analysis that omits part of the situation analysis or only recognizes one alternative is not a good analysis. Second, each area must be covered in-depth and within insight. 2. Avoid rehashing case facts. Every case has a lot of factual information. A good analysis uses facts that are relevant to the situation at hand to make summary points of analysis. A poor analysis just restates or rehashes theses facts without making relevant summary comments. 3. Make reasonable assumptions. Every case is incomplete in terms of some piece of information that you would like to have. A good case analysis must make realistic assumptions to fill in the gaps of information in the case. For example, the case may not describe the purchase decision process for the product of interest. A poor analysis would either omit mentioning this or just state that no information is available. A good analysis would attempt to present this purchase decision process by classifying the product and drawing upon real life...

...are given. It is understandable then that we should seek out more opportunities to apply our skills and make more positive impacts within our jurisdictions. It is this general attitude that led us to get involved in investigating cold cases. How We Got Started Mark had, for several years, been consulting with our Coroner’s Division as a forensic anthropologist. During this time he came to learn that there were numerous coroners’ cases in which the identity of the decedent was unknown. These cases were kept in three-ring binders on a shelf in the Sergeant’s office. Over the years, in the course of this forensic work, we would discuss these cases and the progress that was being made on them. The conversation usually ran along the lines of us asking “any luck with that 1980 homicide victim?” and the sergeant answering “well, we’ve gotten so many new cases that I haven’t been able to even look at it yet.” This went on for a few years and through two different sergeants. One day we, as a crime analysis unit, were brainstorming about how we could broaden our “client base”, as it were. We had been successful in integrating ourselves into our Investigations Bureau and had been involved in numerous major cases. And, of course, we had always been active in producing tactical and strategic analyses for our patrol personnel. But we knew that we could be doing more, particularly given the size and responsibilities of our agency. It was during...
