The Ambonese, also known as the South Moluccans or Siwa-Rima, are an ethnic group of mixed Austronesian, Melanesian, Malay, Dutch, and Portuguese heritage, originating from Ambon Island in the Maluku Islands of eastern Indonesia, with a current population of approximately 1.5 million. They speak Ambonese Malay (Malayu Ambong), a Malayo-Polynesian language distinct from standard Indonesian, and are predominantly Protestant Christian, a legacy of Dutch colonial rule that also shaped their European-influenced culture and role in colonial administration. Since the 1950s, a significant exile community of over 50,000 Ambonese has settled in the Netherlands, where they have maintained a distinct cultural identity separate from their homeland.

A type of glass manufactured by German-American John Frederick Amelung’s New Bremen Glass Manufactory in Maryland, U.S. between 1784 and ca. 1795. Amelung brought over German craftsmen and sought financial support from German and American businessmen and the U.S. government in establishing a permanent crafts community. His industry failed after the U.S. Congress rejected Amelung’s request for a loan in 1790. Our understanding of the technique and style of this glass is largely speculative and fragmentary as few examples survive.

Species of large deciduous tree up to 35 meters in height, native to eastern North America, from Nova Scotia to Texas, having a pale reddish-brown timber that is hard, tough, fine-grained, and used for furniture and other purposes. The bark is smooth and gray. Leaves are simple with veins and toothed edges. Fruit comprises a large husk containing 2 shiny brown edible nuts. The wood is acidic, pinkish brown in color with dark brown rays.

Species of fast growing, short-lived, ornamental, shade, and timber tree native to northern and central North America, typically around 18 meters (60 feet) in height, with a brown bark that whitens over time and peels into paper-thin layers marked by narrow horizontal pores or lenticels. On the copper-colored inner bark, the pores are bright orange. Short, pendulous branches and numerous flexible twigs create a lacy silhouette in winter. The close-grained, almost white wood is used for turned articles, flooring, furniture, woodenware, pulp, and fuel. North American Indians used the thin, water-impervious bark for roofing, canoes, and writing material (thus the name "paper birch"). It is a pioneer species after fire. The sap is boiled down to produce birch syrup. The tree is known in several varieties.
