403 forbiddena
403 Forbiddena is a Japanese J-Rock and Power Metal english-singing band. It started as as a local indie band composed entirely of students from the Keio univeresity, and reached notoriety after one of its songs was used in a flash movie which spread hastily through the internet. It's themes range from astronomical entities (heavily used in song titles) to current social phenomena in japan such as the hikikomori.

Ties with the internet
Although the band name refers to the radio station (403) which usually emits their music and the name of the group (Forbiddena), it is often wrongly thought that it is a reference to the widely known HTTP error "403 - Forbidden Access" web servers send often times. This belief is supported by the fact that the flash movie "Nightmare City" and its sequel "Nightmare City: Catastrophe" became an internet phenomenon making this band notorious (especially for the song used - "Southern Cross" - which at one time flooded illegal music sharing servers such as napster), without taking into account that the band was named before that.

Future of the band
The band has a CD scheduled to be released in August 2006.

Claes Gerritszoon Compaen
Claes Gerritszoon Compaen (1587-February 25, 1660), also called Claas Compaan or Klaas Kompaan, was a 17th century Dutch corsair and merchant. Dissatisfied as a privateer for the Dutch Republic, he later turned to piracy capturing hundreds of ships operating in Europe, the Mediterranean and West Africa during the 1620s.

Biography
Born in Oostzaan, his father was an alleged member of the Geuzen of Dirck Duyvel housed in Zaanstreek allied other nobleman in opposition of Spanish rule. Compaen went to sea at an early age and eventually became a successful merchant as a trader along the coast of Guinea. He later used the profits from these voyages to refit his ships for privateering activities against the Spanish. Based from Oostende and Duinkerken, he was initially successful capturing several Spanish prizes within a short period of time, however, several of the ships were later released by Dutch authorities. One of these captured ships was over 200 tons, fitted with 17 guns and manned by a crew of 80 men.

Sometime around 1621, he left port with a letter of marque from the Dutch Admiralty leaving them to pay his debt of 8,000 gilders to the widow of Medemblik ship owner Captain Pieter Gerritszoon, from whom he had purchased his ship. He soon stopped a fishing boat, taking its cargo of herring and salted fish, and used letter of credit issued by Dutch authorities although the Admiralty refused to compensate the fishermen. He seized the cargo of another ship before taking shelter in Vlissingen from an approaching storm. While in port, he took on 50 additional crew members. Shortly after leaving Vlissingen, he resorted to open and indiscriminate piracy selling his cargo in England and the Barbary coast.

In 1625, he began operating from the Duchy of Clare. He was a close friend of the local governor as well as the Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Strafford and freely operated in the Irish Sea and the English Channel under their protection for some time. Compaen later turned up in the Mediterranean, selling captured ships and their cargo at the Moroccan ports of Saffi, Mogador and Salé.

While at Salé, he sold most of his prizes to Simon the Dancer, Jr., son of the famed Dutch privateer Simon the Dancer who had been active in the area during the previous decade. The heavy costs of dealing with him eventually caused Compaen to do business with his chief rival Jan Janszoon. This caused a major disagreement, with Simon sending a fleet to attack him while at port. Compaen was warned of the attack ahead of time and was able to successfully defeat the attackers as well as capture one of the Simon's ships. During the raid, Simon's flagship was reportedly so badly damaged it was forced to retreat from the battle. Following this defeat, Simon was forced to leave Salé seeking asylum in the Dutch Republic. Receiving a pardon from the Netherlands, he eventually becoming a corsair himself.

In 1626, Compaen began looking to request a pardon from the Dutch so as to return to his homeland. On July 5, two ships belonging to the Dutch East India Company were sighted. These ships, the Hollandia and the smaller yacht Grootenbroek, had been separate from the main fleet which had went ahead to the Verdian Isles without them while the Hollandia was escorted to Sierra Leone to repair a leak (another account claims it stopped to stock up on limes for its crew suffing from scurvy). Compaen ordered his four ships to attack the stragglers although he was forced to withdraw after his flagship suffered severe damage from the Hollandia under Captain Wybrant Schram. Seventy of his men had also been killed in battle. When Schram's logbook was later published, Compaen gained particular notoriaty from the battle whose reputation was established as "the most notorious Dutch pirate".

With his other three ships guarding the harbor, both protecting the flagship and preventing the two East India ships from leaving, Compaen managed to sail his ship into Sierra Leone for repairs. Although tensions were high between the two parties while in port, he left peacefully with his fleet once repairs had been completed. The Hollandia and the Grootenbroek were allowed to leave and eventually arrived in Batavia in December 1626.

Compaen, at certain times, often found it difficult to control his large crew who were given to heavy drinking and survived on poor rations being short of supplies. In one incident, he attacked a Spanish settlement because his fleet were running low on provisions. He and his crew were unable to defeat the Spanish defenders however and ended up retreating with heavy losses. While sailing along the Spanish coast, he also encountered the pirate Colaert of Duinkerken. Despite his fleet being outnumbered 4 to 1, he was able to escape from the stronger Colaert.

In 1626 or 1627, Compaan returned to Salé with a number of recently captured prizes. While there, he was told he had been granted a pardon from the Netherlands. He sailed immediately for home, only four days before a Dutch fleet arrived looking to apprehend him. Stopping to drop off some of his crew in Ireland, he arrived in Vlie and officially received his pardon from Prince Frederik Hendrik in the Hague. He apparently found less success in his later years, eventually dying a pauper in Oostzanen on February 25, 1660.

A biography on his piratical career, The Life of Claes G. Compaen', was published in Amsterdam by De Groot in 1715.

Mediterranean Climate
The Mediterranean climate is located in the South West of Western Australia, Southern South Australia and the Westerly margin of Victoria and experiences cool, wet winters and hot, dry summers. The rainfall for this region averages between 500-1200mm per annum, with most of this falling between the months of June to August. The temperature ranges from between 25-35˚C in summer to 17-22˚C in winter.

Semi Arid Climate
The Semi-arid region is located towards the interior of Australia and is characterised by hot, dry summers and moderate, dry winters. The region experiences rainfall between 250-500mm per annum, with the majority of this falling in the summer months (for the northern area- Broome) but is more spread out and lower in the southern areas (e.g. Carnarvon, Southern Cross). The temperature ranges from an average of 9˚C in winter to around 30˚C in summer.

Arid Climate
The arid climatic region is located in central Australia, taking up a third of the continent, and is characterised by hot, dry summers and warm, dry winters. This region receives less than 250mm of rainfall per year, and this is erratic with evaporation exceeding precipitation. The temperature ranges from around 35-40˚C during the daytime and around 3-7˚C during the night all year round.

Tropical Savanna Climate
The tropical savanna climate is located in the far northern areas of Australia from the Kimberly region (WA) through to the Northern Territory and Cape York Peninsula (QLD) experiencing hot, wet summers and warm, dry winters. The region receives between 500-1500mm per annum, with the majority falling between the months of December to March. The temperature ranges from between 25-35˚C year round.

Sir John Gay Alleyne and Mount Gay Rum
T he Mount Gay Rum Estate lies on a ridge in the northernmost parish of Barbados (St. Lucy). In the 1600's this spot was known as Mount Gilboa and was divided into several small, separately owned sugar plantations. They were named after their respective owners: Tyrell, Jemmott, Jones, Pickering and Grey. Then, in the early 18th century, William Sandiford bought most of the land, consolidating it into a 280 acre plantation he renamed Mount Gilboa. It was passed on to his son, who sold it in 1747 to John Sober. Sober and his son Cumberbatch were both absentee landlords, spending most of their time in England. By 1787, Cumberbatch needed someone to manage the affairs of the flourishing Mount Gilboa estate. He chose his good friend, Sir John Gay Alleyne.

In 1801, after Sir John's death, Cumberbatch honored his friend by renaming the plantation Mount Gay Rum (a Mount Alleyne already existed at the time). The Sober family continued to run the property until 1860.

De Veenboer
De Veenboer (d. October 10, 1620) was a 17th century Dutch corsair. A privateer during the Eighty Years' War, he later turned to piracy and became an officer under Simon the Dancer. He later converted to Islam and, becoming known as Süleyman Reis (also spelled Sulayman, Soliman or Slemen Reis), he had a highly successful career as a Barbary corsair commanding the Algiers corsair fleet during his later years.

Biography
Born in Hoorn, De Veenboer first came to prominence as a privateer for the Dutch Republic against the Spanish during the Eighty Years' War. He operated legally under a letter of marque from the Dutch Admiralty, but left the service of the Republic after little success. He joined other former corsairs operating in North Africa, becoming an officer under Simon the Dancer sometime between 1606 and 1609. De Veenboer found far more success on the Barbary coast and, while in Algiers, he converted to Islam and changed his name to Sulayman Reis. He was later given the title of Soliman-ray (or Admiral) while visting Constantinople and, by 1617, he was in command of his own fleet. He most often used the colors of Algiers, however his crew were predominantly Dutch and always had the Dutch flag raised when attacking the Spanish.

He eventually wished to return to the Netherlands and attempted to negotiate with Dutch authorities through Wynant de Keyser and the Dutch consul in Algiers to receive a pardon. Although he had stopped attacking Dutch shipping for the most part, taking care of the safe return of its crew when his did, an argument between he and de Keyser ended his hopes to be exonerated for his crimes.

In 1618, he was at the height of his power commanding fifty warships in his fleet which were split into separate squadrons. Several future corsairs sailed in his fleet, most notably, Jan Janszoon who worked as a steerer. That same year, De Veenboer lost his position of leadership to Mustapha Reis. After battling with several merchant ships, involving five Dutch ships, one French and one Italian ship, Reis and another corsair captured two of the ships while the remainder were allowed to escape.

He decided to retire, capturing one last ship with a cargo of sugar, before settling in Algiers. His retirement lasted only a brief time however as, in early 1620, he sailed out from port capturing a rich French prize. While sailing of the coast in July of that year, he and four other ships slowed by a dead calm and surprised by three Dutch men-of-war under Captains 't Hoen, Cleijnsorgh and Schaeff. He and two other ships managed to escape, although his flagship was heavily damaged. He managed to make his way to Algiers in August and, after a month in port undergoing repairs, he once again left Algiers with eight ships under his command. He and his small fleet were at sea for over two months before encountering a naval squadron of one Dutch, two French and two English warships on October 10, 1620. De Veenboer decided to engage them and, after a long battle, was killed after being struck by a cannonball shattering both his legs.

Cornelius Jol
Cornelius Corneliszoon Jol (1597-October 31, 1641) was a 17th century Dutch corsair and buccaneer. He was referred to by the Spanish as Pie de Palo (Peg Leg the Pirate), indeed being one of the earliest documented pirates to use a wooden peg leg. He was one of several early buccaneers to attack Campeche, looting the settlement in 1633, and was active against the Spanish in the Spanish Main and throughout the Caribbean during the 1630s and 40s.

Biography
Cornelius Jol was born to a humble family in the fishing village of Scheveningen, now part of The Hague. In 1626, he joined the Dutch East India Company rapidly rising to the rank of admiral within a few years. As a privateer during the Eighty Years' War, he was known for his courage, his skill as a navigator and his courteous treatment of prisoners-of-war. During this time, he crossed the Atlantic nine times to attack the Portuguese and Spanish in the West Indies. During one of his earliest voyages, he captured the island of Fernando de Noronha off the coast of Brazil however he was soon expelled by Portuguese forces.

In 1633, he and another corsair attacked Campeche in the Yucatan peninsula, then held by Spain, with a fleet of ten ships. Two years later, he was captured by Dunkirkers in the service of Spain but subsequently released. In 1638, while attempting to capture the Spanish treasure fleet, he engaged in a naval battle with Spanish admiral Don Carlos Ibarra off the coast of Cuba. In Spain, he was falsely reported to have been killed in the confrontation. The following year, he participated in the Battle of the Dunes commanding a squadron of seven ships.

In 1640, while awaiting the Spanish treasure fleet off Havana, Cuba, his fleet was caught in a hurricane and four of ships were wrecked on the shore. He died two years later, shortly after attacking the village of Bacalar. He later appeared in West Africa, where he won the Portuguese city of Luanda and the island of Sao Tome where he died of malaria on October 31, 1641.

Pieter Adriaanszoon Ita
Pieter Adriaanszoon Ita (fl. 1628) was a 17th century Dutch corsair and privateer. He was also an admiral in the Dutch West India Company and, in 1628, commanded a large expedition against Portuguese and Spanish interests in the Caribbean. The expedition was one of the largest of its time and included many of the great corsairs of the era.

Biography
Pieter Adriaanszoon Ita had established himself as a formidable corsair during his years fighting against the Spanish during the Eighty Years' War. Accepting a privateering commission from the Dutch West India Company, he was appointed an admiral and was placed at the head of a large privateering fleet being assembled to strike against the Spanish and Portuguese in the Caribbean and along the coast of Brazil. The fleet would also be transporting Dutch colonists to the island of Tobago being carried aboard the Fortuin under Captain Geleyn van Stapels.

Leaving port in January 1628, the twelve ships left from separate harbors from the Netherlands and planned to sail directly to the Caribbean where they would rendezvous near Cuba. The last ship to leave was the Fortuin, carrying sixty-three colonists, departing with its escort, the Zuidsterre, on March 3, 1628. A little over two weeks later, the fleet assembled at St. Vincent near Barbados, north of present-day Tobago, on March 15. Ita immediately ordered his fleet to split up into smaller groups and begin attacking local shipping. He also used his smaller ships, particularly sloops to perform reconnaissance and similar duties.

On May 8, the fleet was later joined by the Eendracht which had captured a Portuguese ship en route but abandoned it when it began sinking. They were also joined by the Cuba on May 17. The last ship to arrive was the Fortuin which met the fleet near Haiti on June 4, a little more then three months after leaving port. Ita took most of his fleet with him to the west coast of Cuba. On the way, his fleet captured several Portuguese ships. Several Portuguese prisoners told Ita the location of the routes taken by Spanish galleons sailing from Honduras to Portugal.

By this time, however, Ita and his forces had lost the element of surprise. With Spanish authorities well aware of the Dutch presence in the area, the Governor of Honduras advised the convoy to postpone their voyage. The Spanish fleet, numbering two galleons and ten well armed merchantmen, also received extra munitions and armaments. These preparations satisfied the Spanish commander Admiral Alvaro De la Cerda who believed the fleet safe from Ita's forces.

Meanwhile, the expedition had sailed around the Cape of San Antonio looking for ships north of Havana. Ita's fleet soon encountered two galleons from Honduras, the Nossa Senhora de los Remedios and the St. Jago, arriving near the harbor to Havana. When Ita's forces moved in to block the galleons from entering Havana, they tried to flee. The Leeuwinne attempted to intercept the vice-admiral ship but was unable to board having no entering hooks. As the Leeuwinne pursued the fleeing galleon, the two ships ran aground on a sandbank. Despite this, the ships continued to trade musket and cannon fire during which the Leeuwinne lost its main mast.

While this battle was going on, the Fortuin and the Dolfijn chased the other Spanish galleon which also ran aground on the same sandbank. The two Dutch ships were forced to keep their distance, unaware of the exact location of the sandbank, and continued firing from afar. Caught in the middle of the cannon fire was the Leeuwinne which suffered even more damage as well as a high number of crew members killed including its commander, Captian Jan Pieterszoon.

Ita was able to prevent most of the relief forces sent from Havana, Ita's flagship the Walcheren soon joining the fight. After several attempts to board one of the galleons, the Walcheren were finally successful using the Fortuin as a go-between. The other galleon was also abandoned upon the arrival of the Kater, the Eendracht and the Vriessche. By the time the Spanish finally surrendered, over half its original crew as well as reinforcements (around 600 men) had been killed in battle. The Spanish commander, Admiral Alvaro de la Cerda barely managed to escape. Once back in Spain, both his report and that of the Governor of Havana, Laurenzo de Cabrera, exonerated him from the loss of the two galleons.

Ita's forces were comparatively light compared to the Spanish suffering only 13 killed and around 50 wounded, all of these occurring on the Fortuin. Both the Leeuwinne and the captured Nossa Senhora de los Remedios were freed from the sandbank, although the St. Jago was abandoned and its cargo being moved to the other ship. After setting fire to the St. Jago, Ita ordered a retreat as the Terra Firma fleet was soon to arrive in the area.

Ita and his fleet sailed for Florida, however the Nossa Senhora de los Remedios soon began taking water. Not wanting to risk taking it across the Atlantic, he ordered the cargo from captured galleon to be split among his other ships and had the Nossa Senhora de los Remedios burned one mile off the Florida coast on August 15. The expedition finally returned to the Dutch Republic in September 1628 having captured two Galleons, twelve barges and several small ships. The total value of the cargo they had brought back with them was valued at 1.2 million gilders. Its cargo included 2,398 chests of indigo, 6,176 dry skins, 266 packets of sarsaparilla, 27 jars of oil, 7,000 pounds of ginger, 12 bronze cannons, 28 iron cannons and 52 pounds of silver.

Once Ita's expedition had left, Spanish authorities mistakenly believed the Dutch had left the Caribbean. Under this assumption, the Spanish treasure fleet was not properly protected and made a target by another Dutch corsair Piet Heyn.
