and spoil people's entertainment.

My congratulations on your bountiful kill.

Spoils of war.

And a captain's share of Maracaibo.

Tomorrow, battle rewards will be conferred upon us.

Four more Hold Onto Your Booty rum cocktails for ya scalawags.

The crew said she was bound for Maracaibo to pick up what prizes they might on the way.

There was no end to the good things that would make up the peace dividends.

Peace was breaking out all over the world and there was much talk of peace dividends.

As a result, Palestinian politics has degenerated into a naked struggle for the spoils of power.

Gyotaku is the ancient art of printing fish that originated in Japan as a way to record trophy catches prior to the modern day camera.

When we add things up, the peace dividends accruing from the ending of the cold war have not been really substantial.

Unfortunately, at the international level, we have yet to see the peace dividend being channelled towards assistance to developing countries.

Israel may well be the current winner in the Arab Spring but, if it is wise, it will leave the spoils of victory on the ground.

I call it senseless not with the intent of passing judgement on the legitimacy of the respective positions of the parties to the conflict, but rather to underline the universal belief that the dividends of peace are so much greater than the gains of an enormously destructive war.

The spoils of the battle included three royal flags of the Mamlûk Sultan of Cairo that were sent to Portugal and are even today displayed in the Convento de Cristo, in the town of Tomar, spiritual home of the Knights Templar.

I view the positive developments in the Middle East as a most valuable lesson on how sincere, determined and dedicated efforts based on peace and conciliation can yield rich dividends in dangerously volatile situations.

Although not taken in combat, two Gorch Fock class barques were confiscated from Germany as reparation prizes at the conclusion of World War II, one of which remains in US service as the USCGC Eagle.

This is all the more true since a constant reduction in military expenditures the world over since 1987 about 3.6 per cent per year has made it possible to release, by way of peace dividends, revenues amounting today to 936 billion.

The peace dividend accruing from the end of the cold war and the halting of the arms race should be expansive enough to nurture new democracies without abandoning old ones to unnecessary and far reaching social and societal conflicts.

If the FSA s on the ground soldiers had dismissed their leaders, renounced external support and returned to the principles of the revolution as it was in 2012, when the FSA would self arm from the gains of successful battles against the Regime, the situation would have been much better for the fighters, despite the fragmentation of loyalties.

It would be wrong to say that there were no peace dividends at all the Iran Iraq war, the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, the war in Cambodia, some of the Central American wars, and now the violent Palestinian Israeli confrontation and South Africa apos s apartheid were all resolved, partially or completely.

But, given the huge size of China s credit bubble and the enormous amounts of money needed to recapitalize the banking system, only some of them will be bailed out.
