My Mother is from Jamaica, The island - discovered by Christopher COLUMBUS in 1494 - was settled by the Spanish early in the 16th century. The native Taino Indians, who had inhabited Jamaica for centuries, were gradually exterminated and replaced by African slaves. England seized the island in 1655 and established a plantation economy based on sugar, cocoa, and coffee. The abolition of slavery in 1834 freed a quarter million slaves, many of whom became small farmers. Jamaica gradually obtained increasing independence from Britain, and in 1958 it joined other British Caribbean colonies in forming the Federation of the West Indies. Jamaica gained full independence when it withdrew from the Federation in 1962. Deteriorating economic conditions during the 1970s led to recurrent violence as rival gangs affiliated with the major political parties evolved into powerful organized crime networks involved in international drug smuggling and money laundering. Violent crime, drug trafficking, and poverty pose significant challenges to the government today. Nonetheless, many rural and resort areas remain relatively safe and contribute substantially to.
My Father is from Barbados, the eastern-most Caribbean island. It is located at 13.4N, 54.4W. The island, which is less than one million years old, was created by the collision of the Atlantic crustal and Caribbean plates, along with a volcanic eruption. Later coral formed, accumulating to approximately 300 feet. It is geologically unique, being actually two land masses that merged together over the years.Barbados was first occupied by the British in 1627 and remained a British colony until internal autonomy was granted in 1961. The Island gained full independence in 1966, and maintains ties to the Britain monarch represented in Barbados by the Governor General. It is a member of the Commonwealth. The first leader of Barbados as a free nation was the Right Honourable Errol Walton Barrow, of the Democratic Labour Party. The other major political party is the Barbados Labour Party, was led by the former, ending the at end of 2008-Prime Minister - The Right Honourable Owen Arthur.
Brooklyn is (and is in) Kings County. The borders of Kings County are the same as those of Brooklyn, New York. There is only ONE county in Brooklyn, New York: Kings County. 2,539,206 people live in Kings County, According to data released in December 2008, an estimated. Brooklyn remains the most populous of the city's five boroughs. It wasn't always that way, of course. When England finally took New Amsterdam over from the Dutch, they wrapped up all of the various towns of this part of western Long Island into one county: Kings County. The gradual annexation of the various towns and villages of Kings County (i.e. Brooklyn, Flatbush, Flatlands, Bushwick, etc.) made the borders of "Brooklyn" and "Kings County" the same as of 1895. Today the County and the Borough are "conterminous" -- which means contained in the same boundaries.Ever wonder where Brooklyn got it's name? Brooklyn is the anglicized form of the dutch word "Breuckelen" and it is named after the municipality of Breukelen, in Utrecht province, in the Netherlands (you can see it on a map here). When the Dutch settled western Long Island they established a village near what are the present-day neighborhoods of Brooklyn Heights and DUMBO. They called it "Breukelen" after the town of Breukelen in Holland. And what about "Flatbush"?, Flatbushone of the six original towns settled on Long Island, was orignally known as "Vlackte Bosch" -- Dutch for (roughly) "flat, wooded area" or "a plain with woods". After the British took over New Amsterdam in 1664 the name was anglicized to "Flatbush" (sort of the same way "Breuckelen" became "Brooklyn") Flatbush was actually first known as "Midwout", and was settled sometime around 1645-1651.
South Beach (also known as SoBe, or simply The Beach the area from 1st street to about 25th street) is one of the more popular areas of Miami Beach. Topless sunbathing is tolerated on certain designated areas of the beach. Before the TV show Miami Vice helped make the area popular, SoBe was under urban blight, with vacant buildings and a high crime rate. Today, it is considered one of the richest commercial areas on the beach, yet poverty and crime still remain in some places near the area. Miami Beach, particularly Ocean Drive of what is now the Art Deco District, was also featured prominently in the 1983 feature film Scarface and the Birdcage. The New World Symphony Orchestra is based in Miami Beach, Florida, under the direction of Michael Tilson Thomas. Lincoln Road is a nationally known spot for great outdoor dining, bicycling, rollerblading and shopping In both daytime and at nightfall, the South Beach section of Miami Beach is a major entertainment destination with hundreds of nightclubs, restaurants, boutiques and hotels. The area is popular with both American and international tourists (mainly from Europe, Latin America, Canada, Israel, the Caribbean and within the United States), with some having permanent or second homes. The large number of European and Brazilian tourists also explains their influence on South Beach's lax and overall tolerance of topless sunbathing, despite it being a public beach. The reflection of South Beach's residents is evident in the various European languages, as well as Semitic languages and many other languages spoken. As of 2000, many Miami Beach residents, including those of South Beach, spoke Spanish as a first language, which accounted for 55% of residents, while English was the first language for 33% of the population. Another unique aesthetic attribute of South Beach is the several colorful and unique lifeguard stands, still used today by South Beach's lifeguards.
A horoscope is a prediction of someone's possible future based on the relative positions of these planets. It can also be referred to as a diagram of the positions of the planets and signs of the zodiac at a particular time and place. Interpreting a horoscope involves consideration of the positions of the planets and the houses, and the angles made by the planets to each other (aspects). The signs of the zodiac provide the framework in which the planets interact. By knowing the constellation that the sun was in at the time of birth, one can discover common charac teristics to people born under a specific sun sign (also called your birth sign, or star sign). By charting the positions of the planets, and their relationships to each other for a specific time period, one can reasonably predict some things about the future. This is best done by a qualified astrologer who has studied the many factors that go into creating an individual astrology chart.
