-
- Leapfrogging originated from island hopping - a strategy, with which leapfrogging is sometimes misleadingly confused.
- Island hopping entailed taking over an island and establishing a military base there.
- The result of island hopping was a chain of established bases while the result of leapfrogging was subduing certain strategically important islands while destroying military bases on other islands and thus isolating them in the process.
- Both Nimitz and MacArthur, overseen by the US Joint Chiefs and the western Allies Combined Chiefs of Staff, applied leapfrogging and island hopping as major strategies.
- Forces led by Admiral Chester Nimitz, with a smaller land force and larger fleet, would advance north towards the island and capture the Gilbert and Marshall Islands and the Marianas, going generally in the direction of the Bonin Islands.

- British navigator Captain James Cook arrived in 1773 and 1777 and named the islands the Hervey Islands; the name "Cook Islands", in honor of Cook, appeared on a Russian naval chart published in the 1820s.

- Another popular art form in the Cook Islands is tivaevae—the art of handmade Island scenery patchwork quilts.

- Hip hop is a broad conglomerate of artistic forms that originated in the South Bronx of New York City among black and Latino youth.
- Since its evolution throughout the South Bronx, hip hop culture has spread to both urban and suburban communities throughout the world.
- It has been argued that hip hop and rap music formed as a "cultural response to historic oppression and racism, a system for communication among black communities throughout the United States", due to the fact that the culture reflected the social, economic and political realities of the disenfranchised youth.
- Since its evolution throughout the South Bronx, hip hop culture has spread to both urban and suburban communities throughout the world.

- On July 17, 2014, Eric Garner, a 43-year-old African American man, was killed in Staten Island, New York City, after a New York City Police Department (NYPD) officer put him in what has been described as a chokehold for about 15 to 19 seconds while arresting him for allegedly selling cigarettes, which Garner had denied.
- BLM claims inspiration from the African-American Civil Rights Movement, the Black Power movement, the 1980s Black feminist movement, Pan-Africanism, Anti-Apartheid Movement, Hip hop, LGBTQ social movements, and Occupy Wall Street.

- Pathogenicity islands (PAIs) are a distinct class of genomic islands acquired by microorganisms through horizontal gene transfer.
- Pathogenicity islands (PAIs) are a distinct class of genomic islands acquired by microorganisms through horizontal gene transfer.
- Pathogenicity islands are discrete genetic units flanked by direct repeats, insertion sequences or tRNA genes, which act as sites for recombination into the DNA.
- The GC-content of pathogenicity islands often differs from that of the rest of the genome, potentially aiding in their detection within a given DNA sequence.
-
- Rhode Island was formed as an English colony by Roger Williams and others fleeing prosecution from Puritans.
- Williams named the other islands in the Narragansett Bay after virtues: Patience Island, Prudence Island, and Hope Island.
- In 1637, Hutchinson also purchased land on Aquidneck Island from the American Indians, settling in Pocasset, now known as Portsmouth, Rhode Island.

- Easter Island once had an apparent script called rongorongo.
- Easter Island is a Polynesian island in the southeastern Pacific Ocean, at the southeasternmost point of the Polynesian Triangle.
- Describe the structure and creation of the moai and ahu of Easter Island.
-
- Pathogenenicity islands are discrete genetic loci that encode factors which make a microbe more virulent.
- Pathogenicity islands (PAIs) are a distinct class of genomic islands acquired by microorganisms through horizontal gene transfer.
- Pathogenicity islands carry genes encoding one or more virulence factors, including, but not limited to, adhesins, toxins, or invasins.
- The GC-content of pathogenicity islands often differs from that of the rest of the genome, potentially aiding in their detection within a given DNA sequence.
- Pathogenicity islands are transferred horizontally, this details some of the ways that occurs.
-
- America's first federal immigration station was established in 1890 on Ellis Island.
- Generally, immigrants who were approved spent from two to five hours at Ellis Island.
- Ellis Island was sometimes known as "The Island of Tears" or "Heartbreak Island" because of the 2% who were not admitted after the long transatlantic voyage.
- The first Ellis Island Immigration Station opened in 1892.
- Nearly 12 million immigrants arrived in the United States through Ellis Island.
