Excerpt: Captain James Cook FRS RN (7 November 1728 - 14 February
1779) was a British explorer, navigator and cartographer,
ultimately rising to the rank of Captain in the Royal Navy. Cook
made detailed maps of Newfoundland prior to making three voyages to
the Pacific Ocean during which he achieved the first European
contact with the eastern coastline of Australia and the Hawaiian
Islands as well as the first recorded circumnavigation of New
Zealand. Cook joined the British merchant navy as a teenager and
joined the Royal Navy in 1755. He saw action in the Seven Years'
War, and subsequently surveyed and mapped much of the entrance to
the Saint Lawrence River during the siege of Quebec. This helped
bring Cook to the attention of the Admiralty and Royal Society.
This notice came at a crucial moment both in his personal career
and in the direction of British overseas exploration, and led to
his commission in 1766 as commander of HM Bark Endeavour for the
first of th...

Same war, different enemy... Captain Michael Hollands, United
States Army Air Corps, is a combat-hardened pilot, battling Nazi
fighter planes for control of the skies over North Africa. His life
is difficult and sometimes it's brutal, but he understands his
place in the world, and he understands the rules. Then an
unexpected change of orders yanks him out of familiar surroundings,
and sends him half-way around the world to fight the Japanese in
the South Pacific. Shuffled to an obscure air base in the Solomon
Islands, he discovers that his assigned unit has transferred to a
new operating area, taking their aircraft with them. Without planes
or official sanction, Hollands must beg, borrow, and steal to build
a fighter squadron that will take the war to the enemy's doorstep.
But nothing can prepare him for what happens when he crash-lands on
an unnamed island behind Japanese lines. Marooned among a handful
of heroic survivors, he is about to discover the true meaning of
loyalty, patriotism, courage, and love. The Japanese Imperial Navy
has no idea what's in store for it. And neither does Mike
Hollands...

(or halawa, xalwo, haleweh, elwa, halvah, halava, helava, helva,
halwa, halua, aluva, chalva, cha wa) refers to many types of dense,
sweet confections, served across the Middle East, South Asia,
Central Asia, West Asia, North Africa, the Horn of Africa, the
Balkans, Eastern Europe, Malta and the Jewish world. The term halva
(Arabic: halw ), meaning "sweet," is used to describe two types of
desserts: Halva may also be based on numerous other ingredients,
including sunflower seeds, various nuts, beans, lentils, and
vegetables such as carrots, pumpkins, yams, and squashes. The word
halva entered the English language between 1840 and 1850 from the
Yiddish halva. The latter term came from Bulgarian, which in turn
came from the Turkish helva, a word which itself ultimately derived
from the Arabic al alw, meaning sweet confection. The Arabic root
alw means...

Liberty Dollar (ALD) was a private currency produced in the United
States. The currency was embodied in minted metal rounds similar to
coins, gold and silver certificates and electronic currency (eLD).
ALD certificates are "warehouse receipts" for real gold and silver
owned by the bearer, ALD certificate holders according to court
documents are about 250,000 people. The metal was warehoused at
Sunshine Minting in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, prior to a November 2007
raid by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Secret
Service. Until July 2009, the Liberty Dollar was distributed by
Liberty Services (formerly known as NORFED), based in Evansville,
Indiana. It was created by Bernard von NotHaus, the co-founder of
the Royal Hawaiian Mint Company. In May 2009, von NotHaus and...
