...1. According to Ferry, what recent developments in world trade have made it urgent for France to have colonies? In an argument with members of the French Parliament, Ferry defends the decisions to expand. Other countries began to export more goods than France, so essentially, if they (France) had more colonies, they could export more goods out of the country. Jules made it a point for it to be known that outlets were in great need, and lacking because of Germany’s trade barriers, and also at this point the United States became protectionists. 2. What arguments against imperialism have been raised by Ferry's critics? How does he counter them? Critics say “Oh! You dare to say this in the country which has proclaimed the rights of man!” They include that he is justifying slavery. Ferry responds and says that he is allowed to impose regular commerce upon them. Jules says that his race is the superior race and therefore his race has rights over inferior races. The critics also say he is justifying slavery. Jules responds, “I repeat, that the superior races have a right because they have a duty. They have the duty to civilize the inferior races . . . . In the history of earlier centuries these duties, gentlemen, have often been misunderstood; and certainly when the Spanish soldiers and explorers introduced slavery into Central America, they did not fulfill their duty as men of a higher race . . . . But, in our time, I maintain that European nations acquit themselves with generosity...

...Case Study: Jules Ferry Melissa Elliott Chamberlain College of Nursing HIST 410 Professor Franklin March 06, 2016 Case Study: Jules Ferry 1. According to Ferry, what recent developments in world trade have made it urgent for France to have colonies? As an imperialist, Jules Ferry felt that France should be exploring and taking over new nations. He claimed colonial expansion was a great need that had become extremely urgent by the people and industrialized population of Europe (Kleinman, 1897). He stated that other countries, United States and Germany, were exporting so much more than France was. Jules Ferry compiled a report of statistics with his perspective of that great need for colonial expansion (Kleinman, 1897). This report asked questions daring the readers to disagree. Asking if it was a “fantasy”, a “concern that could wait for the future” or a “crying need” for the people of France and its industrial population (Kleinman, 1897). In his mind, he was just voicing what others could plainly see themselves just by looking around. In his words “France needs more outlets for exporting (Kleinman, 1897, para. 2)”. He proved this by blaming Germany for France not having enough outlets because they were setting trade barriers up. Then he blamed the United States for supporting Germany because the U.S. had become “protectionists and extreme protectionists at that (Kleinman, 1897, para. 2)”. He claimed that because of the dwindling markets it was becoming more difficult...

...Jules Ferry: A Defense of French Imperialism Jules Ferry: A Defense of French Imperialism Jules Ferry was Prime Minister of France as that nation launched its imperial expansion. In a debate with member of the French Parliament, Ferry defends the decision to expand. According to Ferry, what recent developments in world trade have made it urgent for France to have colonies? Ferry observed other countries prior to making his decisions. It seemed that other countries began to export more goods than France. Germany was setting up trade barriers; because across the ocean the United States of America have become extreme protectionists. Therefore if they had more colonies they set up more so that they could send more of their goods out of the country. “Europe and particularly those of our own rich and hardworking Country: the need for export markets.” Other countries also lack their export markets. “Yes, what is lacking for our great industry, drawn irrevocably on to the path of exportation by the (free trade) treaties of 1860 [The reference is to a trade treaty between Great Britain and France that lowered tariffs between the two nations], what it lacks more and more is export markets.” What arguments against imperialism have been raised by Ferry's critics? How does he counter them? To which the critics say: “Oh! You dare to say this in the country which has proclaimed the rights of man!” They also say that he is justifying the slavery. He responds and says that he...

...Jules Ferry: On French Colonial Expansion (1884) Regina Farr-Killian DeVry University: HIST405 Professor Thomas Keyser March 6, 2016 Jules Ferry is known for being a politician and twice the Prime Minister of France in the 18th century. Ferry wrote a pro-expansion speech to recite for the French Parliament on March 28, 1884. The main idea for his speech was to justify the policy on colonial expansion by addressing the need for growth in the French commerce. Is Ferry acting in good faith to the French or is it his own greed and the need to be superior, especially with the African countries? Jules Ferry was concerned with economic strategies, because major industries of France were lacking outlets to export their goods such as textiles, Germany and the United States had set up trade barriers, he considered the United States of America perfectionists, he feared that the South American markets would be taken over by North America, and he knew that the markets of France were not only shrinking but being taken over by the “great states”. Ferry also realized that times had changed, warships could not carry more than two week worth of coal and the need for a place to supply, shelter, and as port of defense was needed. Therefore, it was urgent for France to acquire more colonies. The arguments against imperialism have been raised by Ferry’s critics, by Jules Ferry, (1884) stating “indeed the higher races have a right over lower races.” (para.4). He also...

...Hydraulically Operated Doors Aboard Seagoing Vessels New Safety Regulation Proposal David Smith There have been a startling number of marine related safety accidents in the recent past, and if we examine them and critically think about them maybe we can come up with worthwhile regulations that do not add any increased demand on often already overworked crews, at the same time mitigating the amount of change required to current operating equipment. As rare as death is in all of the marine incidents over the past 24 years, according to the transportation safety board, there are 5 reported deaths in Canada due to accidents at sea, one which was caused by a hydraulic door. To that end, this paper will focus on preventing injury and death caused by hydraulically operated doors and hatches that operate either manually or automatically. A vessel is divided by watertight bulkheads to survive flooding, following a collision or grounding. The more watertight bulkheads there are, the safer the ship is against capsizing and sinking. However, a high number of bulkheads may restrict the use of spaces on board and make it hard for the crew to move between the divided spaces. So, watertight doors are fitted in between bulkheads which should be watertight. Doors can usually be closed from the bridge, or other control room, for the purpose of saving the ship, and can also be opened and closed locally, allowing personnel to pass through, as well as to escape in an emergency. Saving...

...The Thomson Ship Collection collects historic ships range from Napoleonic era to the 19th century, and are mostly created from natural material, such as wood and bone. The “Double watch stand with British or French Two- decker 74 Gun Warship” is one of the private ship models collected by Ken R. Thomson. It was created in the 18th century, from 1795-1815 by French sailors, and it is now displayed in the basement of AGO within the vast range of ship models collection. Like any other models in the Thomson Collection, this unique collection is made out of bone, wood, paper, ink, watercolour, brass, straw, and hand- tinted prints. The model is consisted of two parts, the ivory stand and a diminutive ship model. This is a highly decorative piece of work, the stand is inlaid with painted gold, mostly carved in bone. One interesting thing to be noticed is that, the linings of the drawers still remain in their original colours, since the drawers of the stand did not have the chance to make contact with air. Looking at the focal point of this watch stand, which would be the small scale ship model mounted inside the case. It is a British and French origin, two-decker gun warship. Similar to all the ships models in The Thomson Collection, this is a rather complex and petite model. The remarkable exquisite craftsmanship and the historical stories behind each ship models are why people are so fascinated about this series of collection.

...that connect two continents and usage of Ferries. Our assumptions for alternative solutions are to develop car transportation via ferries or a third bridge. In order to make comparison of all three projects more easy we take the capacity for all projects as 120,000 vehicles per day, because the capacity of the tunnel and the third bridge are similar. Two alternative solutions As it known in Istanbul there is a big concern about traffic and its possible solutions. The main difficulty for people that live in Istanbul is to get from Asian side to European side by their own car and as example to get from Kadikoy to Zeytinburnu by normal way through the bridge can take approximately 100 minutes. The Eurasia Tunnel project is a new solution for this problem that will take 15 minutes to pass from one side to another. But also there are two more possible solutions like usage of Ferries and usage of a Third Bridge. Pic. 1 (A- Zeytinburnu, B-Kadikoy 1-Ferry for cars) On the Picture 1 there is shown the way that vehicles have to pass in order to get from point A to point B. And it is obvious that the way is not short that is also including traffics on the bridges. So the alternative solution can be a usage of ferry. There are two types of ferries in Istanbul one of them that can take only passengers as a bus, so it called Ferry Bus; and the other one can take passengers with their own car. But nowadays there is only one pier for car’s Ferry, from Sirkeci to Harem, and its price...

The following morning the boy was gone and stolen the money and the boat. Siddhartha saw the boat on the opposite side of the shore, and he knew the boy had run away. Siddhartha and Vasudeva built a raft and crossed the river, and Siddhartha went after the boy. On reaching the main gate of the city, Siddhartha stood there recalling his first encounter with Kamala as she gave him his first kiss. Siddhartha was awakened by a hand touching his shoulder, and as he stood up, he saw Vasudeva, who had come after him. Without saying a word, he followed Vasudeva back into the woods, returned home to the ferry, and never spoke of the encounters of the day. Siddhartha now saw people...

...Marketing Unit 1: The Marketing Planning Process Case Study: Brittany Ferries Brittany Ferries is a French-owned car ferry operator, running ships across the Western Channel between south-west Britain and ports in Brittany and Normandy. The company also operates between Ireland and Brittany, running ferries from Roscoff to Cork. Brittany Ferries was formed as a result of Britain joining the Common Market in 1972. The local farming co-operatives in Brittany joined with the Finistere Chambre du Commerce to create the company, mainly with the aim of shipping artichokes and cauliflowers from Brittany to Britain. The farmers recognised the huge potential market in Britain. At the time, the UK was a net importer of food, whereas France was (and still is) a net exporter of food. The Chambre du Commerce recognised an equally tempting potential for tourism from the UK. Brittany was a somewhat remote part of France, a long way from the Eastern Channel crossing point between Dover and Calais or Boulogne sur Mer, and not well-served by airports. In 1978, the company took the brave step of starting a direct route to Spain from Plymouth, making the crossing to Santander. This route opened up the possibility of taking one’s car to Spain without having to make the long drive through France, which in 1978 would typically take two days. 24 hours on a ferry seemed a much better alternative, albeit somewhat expensive. In 2009, the ferry (the Pont Aven) set a new record for the crossing between Portsmouth...

.../170However, when buying a boat whether it is a pontoon or ski boat, it is not an easy choice. There are many things to think to keep in mind. Every boat has different amenities; pontoon boats can even have a barbeque grill. A key thing to look at is how many people will be going on the boat when at the lake. Also, keep in mind how long of a boat might be, they can range from 15 to 35 feet long. In addition, will the boat be used for fishing, skiing, or wakeboarding? Engine size might not be as important to some, but the bigger the engine the faster the boat. On the lake there is no speed limit to how fast a boat can go. One big factor to consider when buying a boat is if has the amenities that will be needed such as a good radio, ice chest, cup holders, and the amount of seats to accommodate everyone. In Oklahoma, Tahoe ski boats are the number one selling ski boat in the state. Tahoe ski boats are also very reasonable in price. Evan though pontoon boats are not the number one selling boat in Oklahoma, the brand Sun Tracker remains the most famous of all pontoon boats in the United States. Sun tracker pontoon boats are the most commonly used pontoon boat in all the United States lakes. Certainly a huge factor to consider is the price of the boat; ski boats cost aroud$15,000 to $45,000 although, on the other hand, pontoon boats average around $12,000 to $25,000 new. These are many things that can make it easier for choosing which style of boat when purchasing. In conclusion...

...Fun in the Sun Being a mother is hard especially when you are planning a trip to Florida. You have to know where to stay to make your baby happy, what to do to make your baby happy, and how to keep your baby happy while in Florida, but at the same time you need to make sure you have fun yourself. As a mother, I have succeeded a successful trip to Florida with a baby and you can too if you listen closely to what I have to say. First, you must choose the correct hotel to fit you and your baby’s needs. Pre-booking is a great suggestion especially if you are going during spring break. When going to Florida with a baby you must book a hotel with a kitchen included. You have to have somewhere to clean bottles, cups, and also somewhere to cook if needed. You should also choose a hotel with a swimming pool. It’s fun to take your baby in the ocean, but salt could get in his or her eyes. When I put my daughter in the ocean she rubbed her eyes therefore she got salt in them and cried for a while. She was also scared of the waves coming in. The last thing to consider is having a room with an ocean view. It’s nice to sit on the porch and look at the ocean at night. Next, you must choose to go to Gulf World. This activity is fun for all ages including adults and babies. My daughter loves animals of all kinds so this was great for her. The first exciting event we attended was the sea lion show. She kept her eyes on the sea lion the whole time and so did we. There was an instructor...

...Jules Verne was born on February 8, 1838 in Nantes, France which was a marine port city where ships constantly sailed back and forth. This sight would later be the cause of Verne’s passion and interest in travel and adventuring to unknown places. At a young age Verne was in love with theatre and literature although, his father wished for him to follow in his footsteps and become an attorney. For this reason Verne was sent to Paris to study law. After graduating law school Verne could not fulfill his father's dream of him becoming a lawyer for his heart was set on literature.
