 History and Background   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Because the city was such a well-known hot-bed of revolutionary fervor, and because of its long history of disdain for royal and parliamentary efforts to control its trade, the British occupied Newport from 1776 to 1779, and over half of the town’s population fled.
Newport’s history is remarkable in many ways, but perhaps the most unique aspect is the fact that so much of its history is still visible on the landscape in an unparalleled concentration of preserved architecture.
By 1853, several prominent Newporters recognized the need for a separate organization specifically devoted to preserving the history of Newport County, and the collections of the Southern Cabinet were reorganized under the auspices of the Newport Historical Society.

 NativeTech: Wampum; History and Background
The alternating panels of blue and white at the ends are evidently a convention imitated from the Iroquois.
Purple and fl wampum are color variants of the same bead, and were used for serious or civic affairs, sometimes indicating dis-ease, distress or hostility, at least in referring to the background colors in belt patterns.
The meanings in the designs can become very complicated, for example a belt may have white designs on a purple background but be surrounded by a white border, indicating a relationship that was once hostile is now peaceful.

 Background Reading: History
There is no known sighting of this transit in recorded history until the British Cleric, Jeremiah Horrocks and his friend William Crabtree spotted it on December 4, 1639, and that is only because Horrocks had mathematically predicted this transit using better data than Kepler had used.

 Indonesia's History and Background (Ancient Times to Present)
After the fall of Napoleon, and the end of the French occupation of Holland the British and Dutch signed a convention in London on August 13, 1814, in which it was agreed that Dutch colonial possessions dating from 1803 onwards should be returned to the Dutch Administration in Batavia.

Consequently, on May 7, 1949, an agreement was signed by Mohammad Roem of Indonesia and Van Rooyen of the Netherlands, to end hostilities, restore the Republican Government in Yogyakarta, and to hold further negotiations at a round table conference under the auspices of the United Nations.

This demands comment on some aspect of the history and origins of the language.

Further justification for this move was based on the observation that "in Nyasaland...the Nyanja speakers not only outnumber those of other areas, but their dialects have a much longer history of literary use" (Price, 1940: 129).
