Piracy

**Piracy** can mean different things; it can be a crime that is committed. A human on a ship at sea who steals from other ships is called a **pirate**. Pirates usually have small, fast boats. Pirates use such boats to attack other ships, which are usually large cargo ships.
For as long as ships have sailed the sea, there have been pirates. Ancient Egypt and the Romans, Medieval kings, and the British Empire dealt with pirates. Fighting pirates has sometimes been one of the most important roles of a navy.

Piracy still happens in the modern world. The Gulf of Aden (which is off the coast of Somalia) has especially high rates of pirate attacks, mostly by Somali pirates.

## Modern

Usually, modern pirates climb onto ships to get money. In the process, they may kill the crew or hold it for ransom. In a very few cases, they may also take over the ship and sell its cargo.

The cargo ships that travel the oceans are huge, but they usually have very few crew members working on them. Their size often makes the ships carry a lot of money in the safe. The money is used to pay the crew, to pay for the taxes to stay at a port, or to pass through a channel.

### Real pirates

- Edward Teach (a.k.a. Blackbeard)
- Francis Drake
- Jack Rackham (a.k.a Calico Jack)
- Henry Every (a.k.a Long Ben)

Palm reading

**Palm reading** or **chiromancy** is when a fortune teller tells you your future by looking at lines on your palm. Those who practice chiromancy are generally called _palmists_, hand readers.

## History

**Ancient Origins:** Likely originated in ancient India (part of the broader tradition of Samudrika Shastra), palmistry later spread through Persia, China, Tibet, Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Greece, where figures like Aristotle referenced it

**Jewish and Arabic Traditions:** Medieval Merkabah mystics and medieval Arabic‑Jewish scholars linked chiromancy to astrology and mystical tradition, often using scriptural interpretations to legitimize its practice.

**Renaissance and Modern Revival:** Palmistry flourished in Medieval and Renaissance Europe. Printed manuals and diagrams from the 1500s standardized its practice. In the 19th‑early 20th centuries, figures like Cheiro (William John Warner) and Adolphe Desbarrolles formalized chiromancy into a more public, “systematic” art

Live Free or Die

"**Live Free or Die**" is the official motto  of the U.S. state of New Hampshire, adopted by the state in 1945.

The phrase comes from a toast written by General John Stark on July 31, 1809. Stark was New Hampshire's most famous soldier of the American Revolutionary War.  His poor health forced him to decline an invitation to a reunion of the Battle of Bennington.  He sent his toast by letter:
- _Live free or die: Death is not the worst of evils._

The motto was enacted at the same time as the state emblem, on which it appears.

Digital media

**Digital media** (compared to analog media) is a communication media that works on digital codes.  This also includes text, audio, video, and graphics that are transmitted over the internet for viewing or listening to on the internet.

Today, computing is based on the binary numeral system, so the "digital" refers to the use of "0" and "1" to show data. Computers are machines that use binary digital data as information. Digital media ("Formats for presenting information" according to media) like digital audio, digital video and other digital "content" can be created, referred to and distributed by digital information processing machines. Digital media is a big change from (analog) media.

## Digital and analog data

The transformation of an Analog signal to Digital information by an analog-to-digital converter is called sampling. According to information theory, sampling is a reduction of information. Most digital media are based on turning analog data into digital data and vice-versa (see digital recording, digital video, television versus digital television).

## Working with digital media

Compared to analog data, digital data is easier to control, and can be made into many copies without losing any quality. Mathematical operations can be made into digital information regardless of its meaning (you can add "2" to the data "65" and view the result either as the hexadecimal number "43" or the letter "C"). Thus, it is possible to use the same compression operation onto a text file or an image file or a sound file.

## Examples of digital media

- Cellphones
- Compact disc
- Digital video
- Digital television
- e-book
- Internet
- Minidisc
- Video game

Young-adult fiction

**Young-adult fiction** (often abbreviated as **YA**) is fiction written primarily for adolescents around the ages of 13 to 19. However, many young adults in their 20s and 45s or more also read young adult fiction.  Some young adult fiction is the more popular book "_Romeo and Juliet_" wrote by William Shakespeare.

## Characteristics

Young-adult fiction in the form of novels or short stories, have special features that make it different from the types of fiction catered to other age groups: namely Adult fiction, Middle Grade Fiction (for older children aged 8-12), and Early readers Fiction (for very young children under age 8). Most YA stories show an adolescent as the lead character, rather than an adult or a child.  The subject matter and storylines are usually in line with the age and knowledge of the main character. YA stories can span all types of fiction. The settings of YA stories are limited only by the skill of the author. YA stories often focus on the challenges of youth. The entire age category is sometimes referred to as problem novels or coming of age novel. YA novels are often as short as 16000 words. Despite its unique features, YA shares the basic parts of fiction with other stories: character, plot, setting, theme, and style.

Crystal Cave, Bermuda

**Crystal Cave** is the most famous of Bermuda's many underground caverns. It is in Hamilton Parish, close to Castle Harbor. A favorite of tourists since since 1907, it was found in 1905 by Carl Gibbons and Edgar Hollis. The two boys were looking for their lost cricket ball which fell into a hole in the ground. Soon after, the Wilkinson family (the owners of the property since 1884) learned of the discovery. Mr. Percy Wilkinson lowered his 14-year-old son Bernard into it with a bicycle lamp on 140 feet of rope tied to a tree to explore the cave.

The area around Harrington Sound (which is to the south of Crystal Cave) is made of limestone and has many underground waterways, through which the waters of the sound empty into the Atlantic. Crystal Cave is one of these, and - as its name suggests - has many stalactites, stalagmites, and deep crystal-clear pools.

Next to Crystal Cave is Fantasy Cave with Fantasy being deeper (88 steps down). Fantasy Cave was reopened in the summer of 2001 with all the walking paths having been rebuilt and additional lighting added. It was found and opened about the same time as Crystal Cave. It had been closed by the owners in the 1940s.

The two caves on 8 Crystal Caves Rd. at Wilkinson Ave. can be reached by bus, taxi and other private forms of transportation. Outside the two caves is a sub-tropical garden lined with palm trees where one will find many different trees and flowers.

The caves are owned by the local Wilkinson Trust, and are open to the public.

## Plot summary

Cliff is eleven years old and the oldest of six children in his family, who live in Ballingsford.  As Christmas nears, Cliff's grandmother arrives for a visit.  Cliff's baby brother is rushed to the hospital with a severe illness.

While he is getting better in the hospital on Christmas Eve his family finally figure out that he has been asking Santa Claus for a little ladder like the one used to climb up to the top of a bunk bed.  The whole family work together to build Josh a ladder and deliver it him on Christmas morning.

Later, Cliff's first grade brother Brad, drives his bicycle into an ambulance and dies.  The family spends the next Christmas at a resort trying to adjust to the loss of Brad, but the trip does not seem to work.

Their spirits rise during a New Year's party at Aunt Pat's house.  When they arrive at the party, Josh accidentally steps into Dad's special fig pudding.  Dad removes the shoe, smooths down the pudding, and swears the children to secrecy.  They all keep a straight face until Uncle Eddie says that the fig pudding is the best ever and asks Dad if he has added some new ingredient.  They all laugh when the real story of the shoe is told.

## Style

_Fig Pudding_ is written using an episodic plot style.

## Reception

In his review for _Booklist,_ Chris Sherman wrote: > Fletcher captures perfectly the humor, irritations, and sadness of life in a large, close-knit family and makes Cliff a sympathetic and thoughtful narrator, occasionally bewildered by his siblings' antics but always a completely believable older brother. The comedy in the final chapter will leave readers recalling hilarious family disasters of their own.Elizabeth Devereaux in her review for _Publishers Weekly_ said this novel "neatly blends the humor and frustrations of growing up in a large family."
