The word "Malay" was adopted into English via the Dutch word "Malayo", which ultimately originates from the Malay word "Melayu". According to one popular theory, the word Melayu means "migrating" or "fleeing", which might refer to the high mobility of these people across the region. In his 1775 doctoral dissertation titled De generi humani varietate nativa (On the Natural Varieties of Mankind), anthropologist Johann Friedrich Blumenbach outlined four main human races by skin color, namely Caucasian (white), E ...

From the time of their earliest attestation, the Germanic dialects are divided into three groups, West, East and North Germanic. Their exact relation is difficult to determine from the sparse evidence of runic inscriptions, and they remained mutually intelligible throughout the Migration period, so that some individual dialects are difficult to classify. The Western group would have formed as a dialect of Proto-Germanic in the late Jastorf culture (ca. 1st century BC). During the Middle Ages, the West Germanic languages were separated by the insular development of Middle English on one hand, and by the second ...

The Vitasoy story began in 1940 with a grand idea and a little bean (soy). The bean, known as "the cow of China" on occasion, and is the chief source of protein for the Chinese for more than 3000 years. The great idea was the brainchild of founder Dr. K. S. Lo, was to take the so-called 'cow of China' and to market it in the soymilk form in which we are familiar with today. And so Vitasoy was born: a nourishing, high-protein soymilk drink that was sold at an affordable price to the people of Hong Kong at that time. In the beginning, V ...

Oroonoko is now the most studied of Aphra Behn's novels, but it was not immediately successful in her own lifetime. It sold well, but the only adaptation for the stage by Thomas Southerne (see below) made the story as popular as it became. Soon after her death, the novel began to be read again, and from that time onward the factual claims made by the novel's narrator, and the factuality of the whole plot of the novel, have been accepted and questioned with greater and lesser credulity. Because Mrs. Behn was not available to correct or ...
