The document discusses the increasing strain on the relationship between Britain and its American colonies in the period leading up to the American Revolution. It outlines how the colonies began levying their own taxes and passing their own laws in the 1750s. While Britain practiced "salutary neglect" previously, it did not strongly enforce laws regulating colonial trade until 1763 after incurring large debts from the French and Indian War. The war was fought between Britain and France over territory in North America, and Britain's victory gave it control over new lands but also significant war debts. This led to changes in British policy under King George III and Prime Minister George Grenville, including increased taxation of the colonies to pay off war debts, angering the colon
Um rei ofereceu um prêmio para a melhor pintura representando a paz profunda. Duas pinturas se destacaram: a primeira mostrava um lago tranquilo, a segunda tinha uma cachoeira tempestuosa, mas atrás dela havia um ninho com um passarinho em paz. O rei escolheu a segunda pintura porque a paz profunda não depende de ausência de problemas, mas de tranquilidade interior mesmo em meio ao turbilhão.

El documento analiza las relaciones entre México y Estados Unidos desde perspectivas realista y liberal. Destaca que el 85% del comercio mexicano se realiza con EEUU, su segundo socio comercial. Tras el TLCAN de 1993 buscaron entendimiento económico. Sin embargo, luego del 11S la seguridad se volvió prioridad para EEUU, presionando a México a colaborar en su frontera y adoptar su agenda antiterrorista. Esto generó tensión, particularmente por la construcción del muro fronterizo propuesta por EEUU.
European settlers came to colonial America for religious freedom, riches, and to increase their home country's wealth through mercantilism. They established colonies through government sponsorship, joint stock companies, or as religious dissenters. The settlers interacted with native populations through trade, trying to convert them to Christianity, and taking their land, which introduced European diseases and conflict. The Spanish, French, and English had different motives and approaches in colonial America.

Hardware Hacking area: Make Cool Things with Microcontrollers (and learn to s...codebits
1) Microcontrollers are fun to play with and anyone can learn to make cool projects with them.
2) Examples of cool microcontroller projects include the TV-B-Gone universal remote, MiniPOV3 kit, Solar BugBot, LED Cube, and The Brain Machine.
3) A microcontroller is a complete computer on a chip that can accept input, perform operations, and output results. It works by fetching and executing instructions in a loop until powered off.
CouchDB is a document-oriented NoSQL database that stores data as documents with a flexible schema rather than tables. It allows for the storage of semi-structured data and uses JSON documents rather than rigid schemas. Documents are accessed and updated via a RESTful API and can be queried using views built with JavaScript MapReduce functions. The database supports features like replication for synchronization across machines and multi-master replication.

This document provides an overview of SAPO BUS, including:
1. What is SAPO BUS and its architecture? It is a middleware that implements authentication, caching, support for bindings, transformations, protection, routing and monitoring between clients and services.
2. How to develop services using a contract-first approach with SAPO BUS. This includes creating a schema, project, and service then publishing the operations and strategies.
3. Benefits of using SAPO BUS include standardized contracts, interoperability, and administrative simplification through the back office. It also generates contracts, stubs and proxies automatically.
Qtractor - An Audio/MIDI multi-track sequencercodebits
Qtractor is an open source, multi-track audio and MIDI sequencer software for Linux. It uses JACK and ALSA for audio and MIDI functionality.

Practical Thin Server Architecture With Dojo Sapo Codebits 2008codebits
This document discusses the benefits of thin server architecture, where user interface code is moved from the server to the client. Some key benefits include improved scalability, immediate user response times, an organized programming model with clear separation of client and server code, client-side state management, support for offline applications, and improved interoperability. The document provides examples to illustrate how scenarios like styling changes, adding new features, and replacing backend code are simpler with a thin server architecture approach. It argues that separating the user interface from the server using structured data and services allows each layer to focus on its own concerns without unnecessary complexity.
