I had some problems with Milton's narrative. Milton tried to do too much with all of his research. I had to read outside quite a bit to fully understand the story and its context. But I enjoy digging deeper into a subject, so thank you Mr. Milton for getting me started.

I also was disappointed by how Milton ignored the importance of Thomas Pellow's Christian faith to his own survival. Indeed, it is often the power of personal faith that helps captives survive. It's impossible to miss this when reading Thomas' original narrative. Wales, too, was hit on several occasions, while the fishing fleets of the Newfoundland Banks suffered several devastating raids. In 1631, Murad Rais set his eye on the richly populated coasts of southern Ireland. He raised a force of 200 Islamic soldiers and they sailed to the village of Baltimore, storming ashore with swords drawn and catching the villagers totally by surprise. He carried off 237 men, women and children and took them to Algiers, where he knew they would fetch a good price. The French padre Pierre Dan was in the city at the time, having been granted permission by the authorities to tend to the spiritual needs of his enslaved co-religionists. He witnessed the sale of new captives in the slave auction. "It was a pitiful sight to see them exposed in the market," he wrote. "Women were separated from their husbands and the children from their fathers." Dan looked on helplessly as "on one side, a husband was sold; on the other, his wife; and her daughter was torn from her arms without the hope that they'd ever see each other again." Giles Milton's White Gold tells the true story of white European slaves in eighteenth century Algiers, Tunis, and Morocco.

It went on for decades — centuries, even , I think — involved people from pretty much all of Europe, and the outrage over this treatment of white people was so high at the time. This plus the fact that the history we see in the Western world tends to be so white European-centric makes it somewhat surprising that you almost never hear about it. It's interesting. To be honest, I'm surprised it's so short, considering the amount of information that seems to be left over from the era, but then again, Pellow's own account is still available, as are others', including a descendent of his family, Captain Edward Pellew, who gave Algiers a whupping (around 100 years after Thomas Pellow was captured by the Moors) causing significant enough damage to the slave city that it led not long after to the complete annihilation of the White Slave Trade by the French. Started to read this as I knew there was some connection with Admiral George Delaval of Seaton Delaval Hall and wanted to know more.

The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) publishes many books which contain its complete list of definitions. The definitions are divided initially into seven IUPC Colour Books: Gold, Green, Blue, Purple, Orange, White, and Red. [1] There is also an eighth book, the "Silver Book".

Under a FIDIC contract the Engineer shall make fair determinations (see Sub-Clause 3.5 FIDIC 1999 or Sub-Clause 3.7 FIDIC 2017) and certify fairly the amounts due (Sub-Clause 14.6 FIDIC 1999). Talking about Engineer´s fairness means to demystify its role, and yes we are talking about its role not its character or personality. The Engineer´s role is not god-given. The parties could live without the Engineer´s powers and authorities; whether they would then have less problems or whether this would be more appropriate is however questionable. Anyway its role and function does not merely depend on his integrity, skills and honesty. Under a FIDIC contract the parties rather define a role or function of a person, in FIDIC this being the Engineer, who shall determine matters arising out of or in connection with the contract. He shall do so fairly but not as an adjudicator. Pink and Gold Wedding Guest Book, Real Gold Foil Horizontal Wedding Book with Calligraphy Names, Hardcover Instant Photo Booth Album
