The passage describes the discovery of a sunken galleon ship from the 17th century off the coast of an unnamed northern bay. It had gone down with treasures from its voyages, but what and how much was uncertain. The Duchess of Dulverton believed the ship contained a valuable sunken treasure and learned of an invention that could precisely locate and recover objects from the seabed using electric suction dredging. Having a connection to the lineage of Medina Sidonia, she acquired the invention and apparatus to try to find the galleon's treasure privately, as previous companies had failed after centuries of attempts.

Popular culture in Latin America includes expressions like salsa, samba, religious rituals, masks, weaving, and oral stories that originate from subordinate classes. In the 19th century, popular culture became intertwined with notions of national identity. Popular culture represents the whole way of life and produces symbolic forms of expression. It involves syncretic religious practices like pilgrimages, festivals, and morality plays. Governments have both promoted popular culture to represent the nation but also pushed for modernization. Popular culture offers alternative ways of life and identity compared to Western culture. Mass media like radio, television, and telenovelas act as a bridge between traditional and modern aspects of society. Popular culture can be a site of resistance and

It notes that the Spanish were able to defeat the Aztecs and Incas through factors like disease, alliances with enemies, technology/animals, and military tactics. Leaders like Miguel Hidalgo and Simon Bolivar led independence movements that eventually liberated Mexico and much of South America from Spain, though the political and economic systems remained unequal with new elites replacing Spanish ones.
Latin America consists of 33 nations across North and South America united primarily by the Spanish and Portuguese languages as well as Roman Catholicism. It has a population of over 550 million, most of whom live in large coastal cities like Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, and Bogota. In the 1500s, Spain and Portugal colonized most of Latin America, though independence came for most nations by the mid-1800s. The region has a diverse economy focused on commodities like oil, coffee, bananas, and sugarcane as well as tourism, and faces issues like drug cartels, population growth, and women's rights.
Hispanic literature has its roots in oral traditions from Latin American countries with strong influences from Spanish colonization and Catholicism. Common themes in Hispanic literature include familial relationships, poverty, traditional gender roles, and social protest against exploitation. These themes reflect the important cultural values of family and the hardships experienced as a result of poverty and political unrest in Latin American countries. The terms Latino and Hispanic are both used to describe people with cultural ties to Spain but have slightly different definitions based on geography and ethnicity.

3) Your first comment will be due on Wednesday, by 11pm.
4) Your response to your classmates will be due on Friday, by 11pm.
Discussion Questions (you may answer only one if you prefer, or both):
1) Based on your reading, the lecture, and (especially) the films for this week, what roles did indigenous people play in Spanish conquest?
2) In the film about the Aztec empire and the Spanish conquest: Cortes had
many
native allies-- do you think the film delves into this enough? What do you think it would it look like if they had? What kinds of questions would you ask? Think about the Restall reading in your response.
The Spanish conquest, in modern day discussions outside of college classes (like this one!) tend to be one sided, and some of those discussions can be downright wrong. In a sense, this is understandable-- people want simple answers to simple questions. When listening to a story about conquest, or even war, people want to know those simple things: who won? Who lost? How many people died on each side?
But in thinking about the conquest of different regions of Latin America by the Spanish and Portuguese, there aren't really any simple answers.
1) People want to believe that the Spanish "brought civilization" to the indigenous (i.e., Indians) people from Peru to Mexico. But what we know is that the civilizations in Peru (Incas) and Mexico (Aztecs) were in many ways more advanced than the Spanish.
2) People want to believe that the Spanish defeated the Aztecs (against ridiculous odds!). This is only half true. The battles between the Aztecs and Spanish also included tens of thousands of indigenous people who were fighting
on the side of the Spanish!
See, what people do not talk about as much is that the Aztecs were at the height of their power when the Spanish arrived-- and you don't get to that level without making enemies. Thus, when we talk about Hernan Cortes (Spanish Conquistador in Mexico) beating the Aztecs, it is important to keep in mind that he did it with the help of tens of thousands of indigenous allies.
It wasn't culture, technology, or religion that made the Spanish victorious. It was his indigenous allies, something that people (including artists, as you can see above), don't often remember, or simply don't care to admit. It makes a better story if the Spaniards were outnumbered and defeated the Aztecs, but that is not true at all.
In the following documentary, the narrative tends to revolve around the development of Aztec society, both politically and st.
The document provides information about geography, culture, sports, and notable people of Spain and Portugal. It discusses that Portugal, Spain, and Andorra form the Iberian Peninsula, with Gibraltar belonging to the UK. It also mentions Spanish and Portuguese football players Cristiano Ronaldo and Pau Gasol, Spanish Formula One driver Fernando Alonso, Spanish singer Alejandro Sanz, and Spanish film director Pedro Almodóvar. Additionally, it reviews important aspects of Spanish culture like Paella, Siesta, UNESCO World Heritage sites in Spain, and traditions like eating 12 grapes at midnight on New Year's Eve.
The document outlines the rules and categories for a Jeopardy! history game. It includes 6 categories - Famous Americans, From Sea to Sea, Law of the Land, Words and Music, Here and There - each with 2 clues valued at $500 and $1000. The clues test knowledge about historical figures, events, and locations from American history.
Mexico is the fifth largest country in the Americas, covering almost 2 million square kilometers with a population of 111 million people. It is comprised of 31 states and a federal district containing the capital city. While Spanish is the official language, many indigenous languages are still spoken. The majority of Mexicans are Roman Catholic, with one of the highest rates of church attendance in the world. Popular sports include soccer and bullfighting, and music genres vary regionally but include corridos, polka, and banda. Traditional dances showcase Mexico's cultural diversity, and typical foods go beyond tacos to include dishes like ceviche and chicken pibil. The Aztecs founded what is now Mexico City over 700 years ago.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
