"Floating" is a 2004 single by the Irish band Jape, taken from the second studio album, The Monkeys in the Zoo Have More Fun Than Me and described as "Jape's trademark song". Co-produced by David Kitt, the single was the first release from the album and was generally viewed by critics as the standout track on the album. In 2007, it featured on the EP, Jape is Grape, for which a video was made. Brendan Benson of The Raconteurs is a known admirer of the song and has performed a cover version during live shows.
"Floating" was a popular single on late night alternative music radio shows in Ireland. The national broadcaster RTÉ described the song as "part drugs story and part love song" and noted its "quirky instrumentation and Gregorian chanting". It described the lyrics as having "a definite feel of amateur philosophy at 5am" but it said that that was "not necessarily a bad thing".
The song was famously overheard being played in Whelan's in Dublin by the musician Brendan Benson who immediately requested a copy of the album. A friend at the venue informed the band of this development following a show at The Bloom Festival during The Rose of Tralee festival in County Kerry. Benson then praised Jape in The Guardian (however, the newspaper spelt it "Jabe") and rang the song's writer to inform him he would be covering "Floating" with his band The Raconteurs. Benson did not actually receive permission to cover the track although it has been said that he would have been allowed to had he asked. Jape witnessed the cover live at the Olympia Theatre and was later to describe it as "a great moment". "Floating" is also covered by the Belgian bastard pop duo Soulwax during their DJ sets.
"Floating" is a song from Megan Rochell's unreleased album You, Me and the Radio. It peaked at number 55 on Billboard magazine's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
This song is sampled from Teena Marie's song "Now That I Have You".
The territory of Croatia is divided by the Croatian Bureau of Statistics into small settlements, in Croatian naselje (singular; pl. naselja). They indicate existing or former human settlement. Individual settlements are by and large referred to as selo (village), and are not necessarily incorporated places. Rather, the administrative units are cities (Croatian: grad, gradovi) and municipalities (Croatian: općina, općine), which are composed of one or more naselje. As of 2008, there are 6,749 naselja in Croatia. The Constitution of Croatia allows a naselje or a part thereof to form some form of local government. This form of local government is typically used to subdivide the city settlements; a city usually includes an eponymous large settlement which in turn consists of several units named gradska četvrt ("city district") and/or mjesni odbor ("local committee").
In geography, statistics and archaeology, a settlement, locality or populated place is a community in which people live. A settlement can range in size from a small number of dwellings grouped together to the largest of cities with surrounding urbanized areas. Settlements may include hamlets, villages, towns and cities.
In the field of geospatial predictive modeling, settlements are "a city, town, village, or other agglomeration of buildings where people live and work".
A settlement conventionally includes its constructed facilities such as roads, enclosures, field systems, boundary banks and ditches, ponds, parks and woods, wind and water mills, manor houses, moats and churches.
The oldest remains that have been found of constructed dwellings are remains of huts that were made of mud and branches around 17,000 BC at the Ohalo site (now underwater) near the edge of the Sea of Galilee. The Natufians built houses, also in Palestine, around 10,000 BC. Remains of settlements such as villages become much more common after the invention of agriculture.
Plantation was an early method of colonization in which settlers were "planted" abroad in order to establish a permanent or semi-permanent colonial base. Such plantations were also frequently intended to promote Western culture and Christianity among nearby indigenous peoples, as can be seen in the early East-Coast plantations in America (such as that at Roanoke). Although the term "planter" to refer to a settler first appears as early as the 16th-century, the earliest true colonial plantation is usually agreed to be that of the Plantations of Ireland.
The term "plantation" transferred to the large farms that were the economical basis of many of the 17th-century American colonies. The peak of the plantation economy was in the 18th century, especially the sugar plantations in the Caribbean that depended on slave labor. Most of that time Britain prospered as the top slaving nation in the Atlantic world. Over 2,500,000 slaves were transported to the Caribbean plantations between 1690 and 1807. Because slave life was so harsh on these plantations and slaves died without reproducing themselves, a constant supply of new slaves from Africa was required to maintain the plantation economy against this "natural decrease". In 1789 the French colony of Saint-Domingue, producer of 40 percent of the world's sugar, was the most valuable colony on earth. Slaves outnumbered whites and coloreds by at least eight to one, but provided all of the manual labor. Slave labor created a dramatic change in the eating habits of Britons, one of the greatest in human history. In 1700, Britons used an average of four pounds of sugar a year, but by 1800 they used an average of 16 pounds a year.
Floating city with living quarters, shopping district, and a fuctioning bar
Oddly enough, the best way to build a settlement might just be to float it on a set of ladders. unstable, unrealistic, and simple. But if it floats, it is safe. Music by New Ivory - Alive

Virtual presentation of my 5th year project during the Diploma Honours Nominees Presentation to the school community (live audience of 700 people) on June 19, 2020. AA Diploma Honours is the highest award you can achieve upon graduating. Up to one 5th year student per diploma unit (21 units) is nominated to present for honours at the end of each academic year to the whole school- a 10-minute presentation that needs to convince the diploma tutors of the value, relevance and premise of the project. The presentations are assessed by the teaching staff of the Diploma Programme, who awards a select group with Diploma Honours at the end of the day. This year, 7 students were awarded.
This is my first upload on my channel! I hope you enjoy watching it and if you do: suggest what I can build next :) ~=+=~ Made using: Pixel Cam http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding/minecraft-mods/2327429-pixelcam-camera-studio-for-minecraft-1-8 ~=+=~ Music: Jim Yosef - Lights https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3prXUPeuOo
Used: Clipping trick to build the rock formation, Mods for institute housing and trees: * Homemaker - Expanded Settlements * Northland Grass - Trees - Landscape - Flora etc * SSEx The rocks were first build on a platform raises with stairs, and later clipped into each other. House and Flora finished later. Buildtime arround 6 hours.
So, I've built a floating island with rocks and created a settlement up there.
