First contact (anthropology)

In anthropology, first contact is the first meeting of two cultures previously unaware of one another. Notable examples of first contact are those between the Spanish Empire and the Arawak (and ultimately all of the Americas) in 1492; and the Aboriginal Australians with Europeans in 1778 when the First Fleet arrived in Sydney.

Such contact is sometimes described later by one or both groups as a "discovery", particularly by the more technologically developed society. In addition it is generally the more technologically complex society that is able to travel to a new geographic region to discover and make contact with the generally more isolated, less technologically developed society, leading to this frame of reference. However, some object to the application of such a word to human beings, which is why "first contact" is generally preferred. The use of the term "discovery" tends to occur more in reference to geography than cultures; for an example of a common discovery debate, see Discoverer of the Americas.

Transit (astronomy)

The term transit or astronomical transit has three meanings in astronomy:

  • A transit is the astronomical event that occurs when one celestial body appears to move across the face of another celestial body, hiding a small part of it, as seen by an observer at some particular vantage point. If the first celestial body hides a major part, or all of, the second celestial body, then it is an occultation rather than a transit.
  • A transit occurs when a celestial body crosses the meridian due to the Earth's rotation, about halfway between rising and setting. For instance, the Sun transits the meridian at solar noon. Observation of meridian transits was once very important for timekeeping purposes (see transit instrument).
  • The term star transit is used for the passage of a star through the eyepiece of a telescope. Precise observations of elevation or time are carried out to determine star positions or the local vertical (geographic latitude/longitude).
  • The rest of this article refers to the first kind of transit.

  • Politics

    Slave and free states

    In the history of the United States of America, a slave state was a U.S. state in which the practice of slavery was legal at a particular point of time, and a free state was one in which slavery was prohibited or being legally phased out at that point of time. Slavery was a divisive issue and was one of the primary causes of the American Civil War. The Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1865, abolished slavery throughout the United States, and the distinction ended.

    Early history

    Slavery was legal and practiced in each of the Thirteen Colonies. Organized political and social movements to end slavery began in the mid-18th century. The sentiments of the American Revolution and the equality evoked by the Declaration of Independence rallied many black Americans toward the revolutionary cause and their own hopes of emancipation. Others joined the British army, encouraged by British promises of freedom in exchange for military service. Free black men also fought in the Revolution on both sides (see Black Patriot and Black Loyalist).

    Free state (government)

    Free state is a term occasionally used in the official titles of some states.

    In principle the title asserts and emphasises the freedom of the state in question, but what this actually means varies greatly in different contexts:

  • Sometimes it asserts sovereignty or independence (and with that, lack of foreign domination).
  • Sometimes it asserts autonomy within a larger nation-state.
  • Sometimes it is used as a synonym for republic but not all "free states" have been republics. While the historical German free states and the Orange Free State were republican in form, the Congo and Irish Free States were governed under forms of monarchy. The republican sense derives from libera res publica (literally, "free state")', a term used by Roman historians for the period of the Roman republic.
  • Overview

    Republican England

    English Parliament, in the act forming the Commonwealth of England of 1649 to 1660, declared that "England is confirmed to be a Commonwealth and Free State and shall from henceforth be Governed as a Commonwealth and Free State." The Commonwealth had a republican constitution.

    Kiss me
    Touch me
    Lick me
    Follow me
    Fuck me
    Find me
    Feel my
    Domination
    Desires of future keep haunting my flesh
    Behind the city lights
    The monster wants your brains
    But I see, and I wait everyday
    They come to feed my anger
    Cuz' I know the way they work
    And they cant stop my domination
    I was running inside my head
    But now im close to reach the end
    And I wont stop, I want to show
    This world I'm dominating
    Once again the story ends
    And the light kills the darkness
    Once again the crawling hate
    Feeds the demon in me, the blood in my veins
    Ill send my angel to cover your face,
    To create the scent of a love game
    And when you see its a fantasy
    Ill get your head with my domination
