The document summarizes a field trip to Matambú, Costa Rica. It discusses how the residents proudly maintain their Chorotega cultural identity despite their Mexican origins. It also describes local legends, like how a horse stopped a fight over a woman, and religious beliefs, such as how the body is made of corn so tortillas must be broken not cut. The concluding lines note that while minority cultures face challenges, people are not powerless over their fates and have the ability to overcome barriers.

I N Structions Part2
The document provides information about the Santorinos people and their culture. It describes that over 80% of their diet comes from cultivated gardens near their huts, with the rest from hunting and gathering. Men hunt with bows and arrows but have little success hunting large game. They practice slash-and-burn horticulture which is very efficient but only supports small village populations of around 50 people. This influences their cultural aspects, as small populations do not require formal laws or leadership and disputes are handled informally.

Destiny
The document discusses the Chorotega people and their efforts to revive their culture. It summarizes that the Spanish conquered the Chorotegas and abolished their language and beliefs. Now, with only 500 surviving words of their original language, the Chorotegas are working to preserve what remains of their culture through traditions like a Mother's Day celebration and viewing tortillas as a special communal food. Their goal is to keep their culture alive despite facing eradication in the past.
Aztecs2
The Aztec economy consisted of a political sector controlled by kings and nobles who owned land and labor, and a commercial sector where goods were exchanged. Tribute was paid to nobles and kings in luxury goods like feathers, beads, and food by commoners and towns multiple times a year. Trade between enemies and allies promoted commerce, while obsidian, bronze and other goods reached people in Aztec society. Selling daughters as slaves or sacrifices was a common practice in towns.

Life Industrial Revolution
During the Industrial Revolution in Britain:
1. Workers had long hours in factories with little free time for leisure activities.
2. Sports like football started to develop as a way for workers to relax during their limited free time.

Romans
Here are 3 potential responses to the assignment questions based on the information provided:
1. Roman influence can still be seen today through concepts like divide and rule, assimilation of conquered peoples, and expansion of empire and culture. However, modern globalization allows for more cultural exchange and diversity compared to ancient Rome. Shakespeare's description of Caesar as a "Colossus" overshadowing others is apt but in the modern era no single power dominates as Rome once did.
2. The inhabitants of Matambu are not entirely powerless - they maintain aspects of culture and identity despite challenges. While assimilation pressures exist, it is an oversimplification to say minority cultures will inevitably disappear. With recognition of rights and support for cultural preservation,

“Cane is bitter”the “epigraph” of caribbean history
This document summarizes a research paper about how cane cultivation has come to symbolize Caribbean history. It discusses how Columbus initially sought gold in the West Indies but then turned to lucrative sugar cane crops. Cane required massive amounts of labor, which was provided through the inhumane system of slavery. Slavery eroded the humanity of blacks and influenced the Caribbean psyche through cultural disruption and lack of control. The document examines how several Caribbean literary works depict cane as "bitter" due to the hard labor, poverty, and subservience it brought. It discusses how characters' lives are limited and defined by their roles in cane cultivation.

Taino Genocide
The document summarizes the genocide of the Taíno people in Hispaniola following Christopher Columbus' arrival in 1492. It describes the Taíno culture and population of over 8 million. It then details how Columbus enslaved and brutalized the Taíno to force them to pay tribute, reducing the population to 3 million by 1496 through murder, torture, war, and disease. While some argue disease was mainly responsible, the document asserts Columbus and Spanish masters directly massacred many Taíno and deprived others of resources, working many to death.

Lost cities of the amazon pp
Spanish conquistadors traveled to the Amazon in the 1500s searching for the legendary golden city of El Dorado, though they found no treasures. In the early 1900s, Lieutenant Colonel Percy Fawcett of the Royal Geographic Society embarked on expeditions to find lost cities in the Amazon, but mysteriously disappeared in 1925. Archaeological evidence like ceramics has shown that large, settled societies lived in the areas around Marajo Island and the Xingu River over 500 years ago, despite the regions being very remote and isolated.

Spanish conquistadors traveled to the Amazon in the 1500s searching for the legendary golden city of El Dorado, though they found no treasures. In the early 1900s, Lieutenant Colonel Percy Fawcett of the Royal Geographic Society embarked on expeditions to find lost cities in the Amazon, but mysteriously disappeared in 1925. Archaeological evidence like ceramics has shown that large, settled societies lived in the areas around Marajo Island and the Xingu River over 500 years ago, despite the regions being very remote and isolated.

1970s britain
The 1970s in Britain saw economic decline, labor unrest, and sectarian violence. The UK faced stagflation as well as power cuts and three-day work weeks due to strikes by unions. The British auto and steel industries declined due to outdated practices and foreign competition. Meanwhile, the IRA carried out bombing campaigns and riots broke out in response to police harassment of black communities. Punk music emerged as a form of social protest against this backdrop of economic malaise and social tensions.
1960s britain
The 1960s in Britain saw the rise of youth culture movements like mods, rockers, and flower power alongside music acts like the Beatles. While the media portrayed an affluent society, poverty still existed and wages remained low for many. The decade saw liberal social changes like the legalization of abortion and homosexuality, reflecting relaxed social attitudes. However, the swinging London lifestyle was not a reality for most Britons. The Beatles popularity peaked in the mid-1960s before social tensions and economic troubles emerged in the late 1960s signalling an end to the era.
Literary Devices
This document defines and provides examples of several literary devices:
- Alliteration is the repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of words. An example is "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers."
- Anaphora is the repetition of a word or phrase at the beginning of consecutive sentences to reinforce a point or add coherence, like in Winston Churchill's famous speech.
- A metaphor is a direct comparison between two unlike things, such as "All the world's a stage." An extended metaphor runs through several lines or an entire work.
- A simile directly compares two things using "like" or "as," for example "She is as beautiful as a sunrise."
Industrial Revolution
The Industrial Revolution led to the development of modern football in several ways:
1) Long workdays in factories left little free time for recreation, but sports were promoted by authorities to ensure workers remained physically able to perform jobs.
2) New laws in the 1850s limited child labor and established weekends, creating more leisure time.
3) There were calls to fund public open spaces and healthy activities to improve workers' lives and maintain industrial progress.
4) Traditional violent folk football evolved into an organized sport played according to rules on designated fields, engaging workers in constructive recreation.
Persuasion
This document discusses the art of persuasion through advertising and propaganda. It introduces the concepts of ethos, pathos and logos as the three main types of persuasion according to Aristotle. Ethos uses credibility to influence audiences, pathos makes emotional appeals, and logos uses facts and evidence for logical appeals. Examples are given like celebrity endorsements for ethos and health claims using statistics for logos. Students will analyze advertisements to identify uses of these persuasion techniques.
Iambic Pentameter - Julius Caesar
This document provides an overview of iambic pentameter, the poetic meter used in William Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar. It defines iambic pentameter as lines containing five pairs of syllables with an unstressed followed by a stressed syllable (iambs). It notes that most of Julius Caesar is written in unrhymed iambic pentameter lines, known as blank verse. Examples of iambic pentameter lines from the play are provided. The document also discusses why iambic pentameter was used and some techniques like monologues, soliloquies, and asides.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAU
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away
Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

- 2. "UN PUEBLO CONCIENTE DE SUS RAÍCES, DEFIENDE SU IDENTIDAD DE CULTURA" • "A village conscious of their roots, defend their cultural identity" • The Chorotega population identify and proudly display the fact that they were natives and the first in Costa Rica. • The people in Matambú accept their origin from Mexico but consider themselves more Costa Rican.
- 3. THE LEGEND OF THE "YEGUA" OF THE VIRGIN OF GUADALUPE • The legend states that two men were fighting to the death over a women that they both loved and in the middle of the fight a horse jumped between them, stopping the fight, and vanished.
- 4. RELIGION & BELIEFS • The people in Matambú believe that the body is made of corn, which is why they think that one must break the tortilla with their hands instead of cutting it. • Cross-culture examples: • The tortilla, since they think the body is made of corn, is like the holy bread from the catholic religion • In the legend of the "yegua" of the Virgin of Guadalupe is an example of cross-culture since horses were discovered with the arrival of the Spanish, which tells us that the Spanish invasion has influenced the philosophy
- 5. "MEN AT SOME TIME ARE MASTERS OF THEIR FATES. THE FAULT, DEAR BRUTUS, IS NOT IN OUR STARS. BUT IN OURSELVES" • The inhabitants of Matambú are not powerless to their fates because every human has a chance to surpass their barriers, but theirs are just harder since there are racists in this world that may complicate things just because they are from Matambú. • Minority cultures will indeed get smaller or disappear because changing times become more and more demanding than before.
