Black Bart, also known as Bartholomew Roberts, was a Welsh pirate who operated during the early 18th century. Born around 1682 in Pembrokeshire, Wales, Roberts began his life at sea as a merchant seaman but later turned to piracy. He is considered one of the most successful pirates in history, capturing over 400 ships during his career.
Roberts started his pirating career in 1718 when he joined a pirate ship captained by Howell Davis. After Davis was killed in battle, Roberts took command of the ship and renamed it Royal Fortune. He became known for his cunning and strategic approach to piracy, often targeting ships carrying valuable goods and using his fleet to attack vessels on multiple coasts.
Roberts was a charismatic leader who implemented a code of conduct that emphasized democracy and equality among his crew members. He also provided medical insurance and ensured that his crew received a fair share of the plunder. Despite his success, Roberts was eventually killed in battle by a British ship off the coast of Guinea in 1722.
Black Bart's legacy extends beyond his pirating exploits. He is often credited with creating the image of pirates that we know today, including the iconic Jolly Roger flag and the character of a ruthless but charismatic leader

Arsenic compounds have been known since ancient times, with the word "arsenic" originating from the Greek word arsenikon, meaning "yellow orpiment". The element itself was possibly first observed in the 13th century by Albertus Magnus, who noted a metal-like substance when heating the mineral arsenicum.
In the 17th-19th centuries, arsenic was frequently used for murder due to the lack of specific symptoms and the difficulty in detecting it. It became known as the "poison of kings" and the "king of poisons". Arsenic was also used in the Victorian era by women to improve their complexion, leading to accidental poisonings.
Arsenic compounds began to be used in agriculture as insecticides, herbicides and wood preservatives in the late 19th century. In 1900, Paul Ehrlich developed the first effective arsenic-based drug, Salvarsan, to treat syphilis. Arsenic was also used as a war gas called Lewisite during WWII, leading to the development of the antidote British Anti-Lewisite (BAL).
Today, arsenic is still used in some pesticides and wood preservatives, but its use has declined due to toxicity concerns. The element itself is produced by heating arsenopyrite ore in the absence of air. While arsenic has a long history of use, its toxicity has also made it notorious as a deadly poison throughout the centuries.

The Roosevelt-Rondon Expedition refers to a scientific expedition that took place in 1913-1914 in the Amazon rain forest. Led by former US President Theodore Roosevelt and Brazilian explorer Colonel Candido Rondon, the expedition aimed to explore and map the River of Doubt (later renamed Roosevelt River) in the Brazilian state of Rondonia.
The expedition was arduous and faced numerous challenges, including navigating treacherous waters, fighting off deadly animals and insects, and dealing with diseases like malaria. Several members of the expedition fell ill and died, while others suffered injuries or had to turn back.
The expedition was also significant in terms of scientific discoveries. It documented various species of plants and animals that were previously unknown to science. The team encountered indigenous tribes along the way and made efforts to establish peaceful relations and gather information about their way of life.
The Roosevelt-Rondon Expedition played a crucial role in highlighting the environmental and cultural importance of the Amazon rainforest. It helped raise public awareness about the need for conservation efforts and paved the way for further scientific exploration in the region.
