Backbone.js is a JavaScript framework that aims to solve issues with messy JavaScript code by implementing an MVC pattern and object-oriented principles, providing structure through core concepts like Models for data storage, Collections for grouping Models, and Views for rendering display logic, as well as a Router for navigation. It is lightweight at only 6kb and supports RESTful JSON APIs and event-driven programming.
Between 1870 and World War 1, factors like steam-powered transportation, lack of legal restrictions on migration, agricultural development opportunities in the New World, and industrialization promoted large-scale migration from Europe to places like the United States. Many migrants found jobs in factories, mines, construction, or skilled trades and services in cities undergoing rapid industrialization and commercial expansion, such as Chicago, which was the fastest growing city in the U.S. and possibly the world in the late 1800s as it transformed through industry and held the 1893 World's Fair that demonstrated how urban design could civilize a downtown area.

The document summarizes French colonization in North America between 1650-1750, specifically in Canada and Louisiana. In Canada, growth was slow with only 85 colonists in 1627 and less than 250 families immigrating throughout the 1600s, resulting in a population of only 15,000 by 1700. However, peace with the Iroquois allowed the population to grow to 52,000 by 1750. In Louisiana, La Salle claimed the territory for France in 1682 but was later assassinated in 1687. The French went on to colonize the mouth of the Mississippi Bay in 1699 and 1702, and connected their Canadian and Louisiana territories using river networks and trading posts.
Spices and other goods were central to global trade networks dating back to the 7th century, when an Asian-centered economy emerged along with the spread of Islam. Trade routes between Islamic caliphates and Hindu merchants were integrated, allowing pre-existing political and business structures to continue. Various drugs like coffee, tea, cocoa, tobacco and sugar originated as trade goods and became widely popular internationally, though some were initially banned in consuming nations due to underground demand. Mesoamerican civilizations also engaged in long-distance trade of goods like silver, turquoise, bowls and blankets prior to European conquest disrupting these networks. Potatoes and sugar cane revolutionized European diets and economies through large-scale cultivation and distribution

This document summarizes how a small to medium sized Midwest company reduced their monthly telecom expenses by almost 50% by deploying Broadvox SIP Trunking and GO!Anywhere services. They were able to lease a new SIP-enabled phone system to avoid large upfront capital costs, and saw immediate savings of over $2600 per month through lower local, long distance, and toll-free call rates with Broadvox. This provided nearly $32,000 in annual savings and moved their telecom services to a single, reliable carrier within their budget.

This document discusses the concept of multiliteracies and its importance for teaching English. It defines multiliteracies as involving a multiplicity of discourses, being influenced by new technologies and multimedia, and incorporating different representational forms like visual design. Research shows literacy is not singular but takes multiple forms based on one's environment and culture. This shift means teaching English must include situated practice with new literacies, overt instruction on interpreting various meanings, and applying understandings to different contexts. Incorporating popular culture and media can develop important cognitive skills. Teaching multiliteracies requires openness to changing literacies and social relations in digital spaces.
