Juan Sebastian Elcano was born in Guetaria, Spain in 1476. He was a
navigator. Trying to find an excuse from the King (Charles the fifth, Holy
Roman Emperor), he signs on as a lower class general to Ferdinand
Magellan's expedition to sail around the world. He and five other ships
sailed to find another faster way from Spain’s western side. On the way

sail.

gone, they lowered the amount that everyone would get and because of that

hen everyone else to make sure the will stay health and alive to keep the
voyage alive. Out of about 265 some odd people only 235 was alive that
time. Since more people started dieing everyone would get more food
,because there was a lot less people alive.
Out of the five ships only one was still sailing and it was the Victoria the
ship that Juans was on. There was no more food left and no one knew what
to do,so they started to eat material mostly leather and that is what they
survived on thru the voyage. They ate the leather off of the sails and because of that people started to die and it quickly went from 235 to 150 and from

Around this time, living standard began to rise more dramatically. This meant that fertility increased while mortality decreased, leading to an overall larger families and higher population. Technology also was increasing much faster than before due to the return for human capital increased. Real wages for a longer living population increased, and along with increased technological advancement, meant that families could invest more into their children. More could afford to send their children to school, and thus feeding into the quickened pace of technological advancement. Another aspect is the falling fertility after the initial surge as families see that their children are surviving more, so they do not need to have nine kids and expect only three to survive. Now they can have two kids and both are likely to grow up. This regime was the transition between the Malthusian model where everything is constant, and the Modern regime that we have

Julio Cortázar is a famous novelist from Argentina. He was born August 26, 1914 in Brussels, Belgium and died February 12, 1984 at the age of 70 years young. Otherness is the foundation of translation in almost every sense of the word. The translator must become the author's other, his Doppelganger, what Julio Cortázar called his paredros, using a Greek term for an old Egyptian concept of otherness. At the same time the translator must turn the author into another possibility of his own existence. The writer stays himself but is now writing in another language and therefore at least partially in another culture. Also, there will be more than one translation of a classic, meaning that even in its otherness the classic has other possibilities. Mandelbaum, Singleton, Sayers, and Ciardi are all partially Dante in that they are his others, yet they are not clones, not even identical twins, and usually not even close enough to be fraternal ones. Theirs is anotherness within the same language, different variations on the same theme as it were.

...lted in the decline of businesses. "The labor shortage was very severe and consequently wages rose. Because of the mortality, there was an oversupply of goods and prices dropped. Between the two trends, the standard of living rose, for those still living. Farms or entire villages died out or were abandoned as the few survivors decided not to stay on" (Knox). "The once positive outlook people had on the life of the thirteenth century had perished along with the many lives the plague took along with it" (Rowling, 188).
