Hold And Modify
HAM redirects here. For additional meanings, see Ham (disambiguation) Hold-And-Modify (more commonly know as HAM) is a screenmode of the Amiga micro computer. It works by interpreting the data for a pixel as copy the colour of my neighbour to the left (Hold), then change that colour (Modify). This allowed the computer to use a fairly rich palette, even if there were only a few bits available to indicate the colour. A disadvantage was that rapid colour changes within a row of pixels were not possible, so if you tried to encode such a fast change, you would get artifacting similar to the compression artifacts you sometimes get with the JPEG graphics format. Without close scrutiny a HAM8 picture is indistinguishable from a more traditional 16-bit display, and in many cases looks as good as a 24-bit display. In the early days of multimedia , HAM gave the Amiga a small advantage over competing systems, because it allowed the system to display digitized photographs and rendered 3D images at a much more realistic level. On early Amiga systems, only 6 bits could be used to indicate colours. Most screenmodes worked with indexed colours, and only 5 bits for the colour index, meaning the 2^5 (=32) colours could be displayed at most. Some screenmodes allowed the sixth bit to be used as a half-color (the pixels with this bit set would display with half the luminosity.) The HAM mode used 6 bits, two being used to indicate whether the remaining 4 bits were an index in the color palette (16 colours) or a change in one of the RGB components of the color (e.g.

Notes and Documents
The Scholarship and Legacy of David Beers
Nicholas Canny and Karen Ordahl Kupperman
David Beers Quinn, pursuing his intersecting interests in Tudor Ireland and the European exploration and settlement of North America, transcended the old imperial history and created the field of Atlantic history. As David Dutton observed in a memorial tribute, Quinn was "a historian of immense industry and erudition." His immersion in the sources and his ability to see the large picture combined with an extraordinary interdisciplinary range to compose a body of work that will continue to shape our view of the origins of the European presence in America and its effects.

HEINRICH LEO
LEO, HEINRICH Leo was by nature highly excitable and almost insanely passionate, though at the same time strictly honorable, unselfish, and in private intercourse even gentle. During the last year of his life his mind suffered rapid decay, of which signs had been apparent so early as 1868. He died at Halle on the 24th of April 1878. In addition to the works already mentioned, he left behind an account of his early life (Meine Jugendzeit, Gotha, 1880) which is of interest. See Lord Acton, English Historical Review, i. (1886); I-I. Haupt, Kart Follen ned die Giessener Schwarzen (Giessen, 1907); W. Herbst Deutsch-Evangeliscke Bldtter, Bd. 3; P. Kragelin, H. Leo, vol. i. (1779-1844) (Leipzig, 1908); P.

next
When still quite a boy, Walter Raleigh went to Oriel College, Oxford, but we know nothing of what he did there, and the next we hear of him is that he is fighting for the Huguenots in France. How long he remained in France, and what he did there beyond this fighting, we do not know. But this we know, that when he went to France he was a mere boy, with no knowledge of fighting, no knowledge of the world. When he left he was a man and a tried soldier, a captain and leader of men. When next we hear of Raleigh he is in Ireland fighting the rebels. There he did some brave deeds, some cruel deeds, there he lived to the full the life of a soldier as it was in those rough times, making all Ireland ring with his name. But although Raleigh had won for himself a name among soldiers, he was as yet unknown to the Queen; his fortune was still unmade. You have all heard the story of how Raleigh first met the Queen. The first notice we have of this story is in a book from which I have already quoted more than onceThe Worthies of England. "This Captain Raleigh," says Fuller, "coming out of Ireland to the English Court in good habit (his clothes being then a considerable part of his estate), found the Queen walking, till, meeting with a splashy place, she seemed to scruple going thereon. Presently Raleigh cast and spread his new plush cloak on the ground, whereon the Queen trod gently, rewarding him afterwards with many suits for his so free and seasonable tender of so fair a foot cloth."

North Carolina Beaches

by Glenn Morris
Introduction
This book is a companion for a journey along North Carolina's 320-mile-long coast. Whether you are in an armchair in Ohio or Pennsylvania wondering about the Outer Banks, or lazing on the beach at Corolla and curious about the self-proclaimed "golf coast" of Brunswick County, North Carolina Beaches offers an answer to the question, "I wonder what it's like there?" The revised edition has changed a good bit in response to changes along North Carolina's outer coast. While many of these are the result of a growth in tourism, natural forces, such as storms and chronic erosion, have had their impact as well. The first edition emphasized detailed information on public access because it was not widely available then and the public access program was relatively new. Today, most North Carolina coastal communities know that easy-to-find and -use public access makes them a more tourist-friendly destination. They readily provide this information. It is here as well, although the necessity is diminished. North Carolina Beaches still serves as a mile-by-mile guide to the outer coast. It still includes locations for parking (accessways), ferries, federal and state parks and preserves, private preserves open to the public, and other difficult-to-categorize locations that are worth a visit. Where it is available, I have included information, such as addresses, hours of operation, phone numbers, and web addresses, which did not exist at the first publication.

Encouraged by Richard Hakluyt, whom he met in 1587 while traveling in England, Theodor de Bry, a German engraver and publisher, began his own collection of voyage narratives in 1590. The engraved illustrations are taken from a series of water-color paintings executed by John White. Issued in parts, the work was originally published in Latin, German, English and French. However after the publication of Part I only the Latin and German editions were continued. Parts I through VI were published during de Bry's lifetime. After his death in 1598, the work was carried on by his sons, Johann Theodor and Johann Israel, who published Parts VII - VIII in 1599 and Part IX in 1602. Johann revived the series in 1619 -1620 by publishing Parts X and XI. Upon Johann Theodor's death in 1623, Mathew Merian, his son-in-law, published Part XII in 1624 and Part XIII in 1634.

California Colonial Bibliography
The literature relative to the Californias is extraordinarily voluminous and varied in nature and quality, and thus it has been subject to numerous bibliographies. Among the most famous of these is that compiled by the Zamorano Club of Los Angeles denoted The Zamorano 80. —W. Michael Mathes Following is a reprint from the
Historiography of the Californias:
Imprints of the Colonial Period, 1552-1821 By W. Michael Mathes
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
As a result of its isolation from sailing routes and its resistance to Spanish colonization until the final decades of the eighteenth century, California remained a mysterious region, clouded in the mythology of Queen Calafia who governed an immense island inhabited by women which ended at the entry to the Strait of Anián. This great geographic and psychological distance from the population centers of New Spain attracted foreign corsairs who voyaged in search of Anián to gain passage from the Pacific to the Atlantic and used the bays of California to await the passage of the Manila galleon. The corsairs also drew the curiosity of European and American readers anxious to know the latest news of California, the most remote corner of the globe.
       The colonial period in New Spain underwent extraordinary changes in its historiography. Based upon medieval concepts, history written in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries comprised chronicles and documents printed for diffusion. The former were reports of facts and events, frequently without attention to chronology and intermingled with rumors, based upon contemporary or almost contemporary documents or testimony, and the latter were diaries, memoranda, letters, laws, and relations of merits and services, all primary sources and not necessarily written to serve as historical works. Although of lesser importance as historical sources, short imprints called edifying letters also appeared. These imprints promoted religious vocations by means of historical biography that praised the acts of its subject.
