  • Bon Bini! Learn How "One Happy Island" Welcomes You To Aruba - The residents of the ABC Islands – Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao – have long spoken the language known as Papiamento. This Creole language is the product of a unique history that, in many ways, tells the story of the entire Caribbean region and its colonial past. The Papiamento lexicon draws about 60% of its terms from Portuguese (including some Spanish influence), 25% from the Dutch tongue and an additional 15% from West African languages.

  • Writing The Historical Novel - For many years, I had written nothing but textbooks and scientific research papers. It was my job and one that I thoroughly enjoyed. Several years ago, I retired, but remained quite active and in demand as a consultant. In the more recent past, a number of people seeking my help began to wonder how much longer it might be available, and began looking for a new source. Having been accustomed to a ten to twelve-hour day, the gradual decrease in workload left me with unwanted time on my hands.

  • Selecting A Genre In Which To Write - A short time ago, I suggested to other retired workaholics the idea of attempting to write a novel. Granted, the idea was not an original one, but rather suggested to me by my wife because I was a little at loose ends after my ten to twelve-hour days began to shrink. I suggested that the idea would be especially appealing to anyone whose business had been in research, teaching or similar vocations. I had suggested writing in the historical genre because it happened to be a personal favorite. The others available are legion, of course, and some require little to no research. Chick-lit was an overwhelming favorite for some time (although I understand it is waning today) and required no research whatsoever. I believe the genre would be quite a far stretch for the retiree, however.

You see, here in the US we are facing, and have been facing for several years now, somewhat of a healthcare crisis.
  • Researching The Historical Novel, Part I - As I have intimated in previous offerings, the research that goes into writing a historical novel can be almost minimal, or can entail weeks and months of endeavor. If one wishes to write about something as remote as the caravans carrying silk in the ancient days over the Silk Road through China, Tibet and associated areas, the work required could be substantial.
  • Americans Work, Why Doesn't America? - When two opposing viewpoints about American workers were emailed me in the same day this week I had to wonder: if Americans are working so hard, why isn't America working? According to a recent article published on popular Web site Alternet, The Vanishing American Vacation ( http://alternet.org/workplace/61122/ ) , compared to people in other developed countries, Americans don't ask for more vacation time, don't take all the vacation time their employers give them and continue to work while they are on vacation. It's common knowledge to most American workers that they receive far less vacation time - in weeks not days - than their foreign counterparts.
