James (ship)

The ship James made several trips during the early 17th century Great Migration out of England to the New World. It is unclear how many ships were named James during the Great Migration, as the name James was very popular in England during the reign of James I of England (1567–1625).

1621-1622 voyage

From England to Virginia

It appears the James landed right around the New Year, because some of the passengers reported as landing in 1621, and others in 1622, most likely due to winter conditions. The first few off the ship were servants of Edward Bennett, the wealthy London merchant that had paid for over 800 servants to travel to the New World to work his plantations, and who had already established his plantation, so they had a place to stay.

Fuerteventura Airport

Fuerteventura Airport (IATA: FUE, ICAO: GCFV), also known as El Matorral Airport, is an airport serving the Spanish island of Fuerteventura. It is situated in El Matorral site, 5 km (3.1 mi) southwest of the capital city Puerto del Rosario.

History

Early years

The airport was opened officially on 14 September 1969. The first plane to touch down on the new runway was an Iberia Fokker F27, which flew the route Las Palmas-Fuerteventura-Lanzarote.

In 1973 El Matorral Airport began to operate its first flights to European countries with the airline Condor, which linked the German city of Düsseldorf directly with Puerto del Rosario. In the following years, the airport experienced considerable growth in the number of operations, which resulted in a series of improvements, starting in 1978, to ensure that the working of the aerodrome continued to meet the needs of the passengers.

Development since the 1990s

In 1992, the airport received more than 1,600,000 passengers, which made it necessary to carry out extensive refurbishment of the terminal and aircraft parking areas.

Billy is the only original Power Ranger to remain for the entire MMPR series, and is the second longest-serving Ranger overall behind Tommy Oliver. Until his departure, he was considered the brains of the Power Rangers team, creating many gadgets with which to solve problems that not even Zordon foresaw, and he even invented the first team's wrist-worn communication devices.

In 2013, it was revealed that Billy's last name came from actor Bryan Cranston, known for his roles on Malcolm In The Middle and Breaking Bad, who had voiced several monsters on the show earlier in his career.

Billy (slave)

Billy, also known as Will and William, was an African-American slave charged with treason during the American Revolution. The case received attention because it asserted that because Billy was a slave, that he was not a citizen of Virginia and as such, could not commit treason.

Pre-trial life

Very little is concretely known about Billy's life aside from his trial. He was likely born around 1754 and historians believe that he is possibly the same Billy that was owned by the wealthy planter John Tayloe II, who had one of his employees place an advertisement about a runaway "mulatto" in 1774. In the advertisement Tayloe's employee stated that Billy was a runaway slave and apart from being an extremely skilled worker, he was also capable of gaining "the good Graces of almost every Body who will listen." Historian Lathan A. Windley believes that during this time Billy purchased a forged pass with the intent to travel to another state and gain freedom.

Trial

On April 2, 1781 Billy was indicted by the Prince William County Court for committing treasonous acts against Virginia. Billy had been charged with joining the British forces aboard an armed vessel with the intent to fight against the colonies during the American Revolutionary War. This was not an uncommon accusation during this time period, as many slaves had been promised their freedom in return for fighting for the British, however Billy argued that he had been forced on to the ship and that he had never taken up arms. Despite this, Billy was convicted and sentenced to death by hanging.
