BLOOMINGTON --- Once Staci Roper, 14, starts sending text messages, she finds it hard to stop. " Sometimes I text from the time I get up until I go to bed, except during school," said the eighth-grader at Kingsley Junior High.

Her sister Sara Roper, 18, also texts a lot, saying "It is a lot easier than using the telephone."

For teens, technology has become a common way to start and keep social contacts.

Richard Sullivan, a teacher at Illinois State University, said text messaging has become "the new way of passing notes."

"It is an important tool for social communication, especially for the youth," Sullivan said.

But the girls have to store their mobile phones during school because they can be a distraction , Sullivan said.

That is why parents must monitor their children's mobile phone use, said Tim Shannon, a child psychologist at Carle Clinic in Bloomington.

The same technologies that can help communication can be _ if children use them to ignore their family at supper, Shannon said.

While Linda Roper does not allow her children to text massages during meals, she usually does not need to intervene . "My kids are both very disciplined and good about doing their homework," she said.

Gary and Mary Carstens also do not allow their children to text at supper or at family get-togethers.

Their daughter, Kayla, 14, usually texts more on weekends when she has more free time. Kayla likes text messaging "because others can't hear you."

The Carstens got Kayla a mobile phone several years ago because she is active in after-class sports and the phone allows her parents to keep in touch with her.

Mary Carstens believes all the communication allowed by modern technology is good for her kids. What are the answers to this following set of questions: 1. Does Tim Shannon think parents should monitor phone usage?

Soon after the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, London merchants presented a petition to Queen Elizabeth I for permission to sail to the Indian Ocean. The permission was granted, and despite the defeat of the English Armada in 1589, on 10 April 1591 three ships sailed from Torbay around the Cape of Good Hope to the Arabian Sea on one of the earliest English overseas Indian expeditions. One of them, Edward Bonventure, then sailed around Cape Comorin and on to the Malay Peninsula and subsequently returned to England in 1594.

This time they succeeded, and on 31 December 1600, the Queen granted a Royal Charter to "George, Earl of Cumberland, and 215 Knights, Aldermen, and Burgesses" under the name, Governor and Company of Merchants of London trading with the East Indies. For a period of fifteen years the charter awarded the newly formed company a monopoly on trade with all countries east of the Cape of Good Hope and west of the Straits of Magellan. Sir James Lancaster commanded the first East India Company voyage in 1601 and returned in 1603. and in March 1604 Sir Henry Middleton commanded the second voyage.
