Dangerous Waters by John S. Burnett6/6/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() We find, additionally, that illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing exerts an especially pronounced effect on piracy. We demonstrate that the incidence of piracy in a particular location is associated with higher catch volumes from high-bycatch and habitat-destroying fishing, even when controlling for conditions in proximate coastal areas. We conduct a geographically disaggregated analysis using geo-referenced data of piracy and its covariates between 20. These investigations neglect piracy in international waters and ignore its spatial dependence, whereby pirate attacks cluster in certain locations due to neighborhood and spillover effects. ![]() Previous investigations have generally focused on cross-national determinants of the incidence of piracy in territorial waters. We argue that fishers turn to piracy to smooth expected income losses and to deter illegal foreign fishing fleets. Maritime piracy constitutes a major threat to global shipping and international trade. ![]()

Giovanni's room6/4/2023 ![]() ![]() During a sleepover, the boys kissed and engaged in various sexual activities, and though David enjoyed this, he was unable to face Joey the next morning.

Because the damage has already been done to his relationship with Giovanni, though, David finds himself alone and miserable at the end of the novel.

As a result, he eventually leaves Giovanni for his girlfriend Hella, whom he deceives by pretending to be a heterosexual man. In particular, David-the novel’s protagonist-denies that he’s attracted to men, and this denial causes him to resent people like Giovanni, whom he loves but can’t bring himself to fully embrace. ![]() A novel about a closeted American man living in Paris in the 1950s, James Baldwin’s Giovanni’s Room underscores the many miseries of denying one’s true sexual orientation. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() The members of a tight, well-greased kitchen staff are a lot like a submarine crew. Professional cooks belong to a secret society whose ancient rituals derive from the principles of stoicism in the face of humiliation, injury, fatigue, and the threat of illness. Your first two hundred and seven Wellfleet oysters may transport you to a state of rapture, but your two hundred and eighth may send you to bed with the sweats, chills, and vomits. It’s about danger-risking the dark, bacterial forces of beef, chicken, cheese, and shellfish. It’s about sodium-loaded pork fat, stinky triple-cream cheeses, the tender thymus glands and distended livers of young animals. Good food, good eating, is all about blood and organs, cruelty and decay. ![]() |
