The Foundations of the East India Company
The 16th century paved the way for the East India Company, which would become one of the most notorious organizations in history. It was a hotbed of naval exploration. Our oceans belonged to Portugal and Spain, as they blazed trails through unchartered seas. Such was their dominance they agreed to split the world in half with the Treaty of Tordesillas, 1494.

What is a Fata Morgana?

Decorative Knots

Nautical knotwork, also known as decorative knots, fancy knotting, creative rope craft, and traditional knotting, was a highly valued craft among mariners during the age of sail.
Internet Service Provider Filters
I want to talk a bit about Internet Service Providers (ISP) filtering content and the over-blocking that can occur with these filters. In the UK at least, since 2013 all ISPs have been filtering content that might be adult or illegal in order to protect minors. All new customers will now automatically be opted-in to the ISP’s own content filter. Unless you specifically change your settings you may be seeing a reduced number of sites on your device. I’m not up to speed with the filtering of content in the US but would imagine it’s on a state-by-state basis. What are these filters, what are they blocking and are they always blocking the right sites?
