Canaval Tlaxcala
The Carnival of Tlaxcala is one of the most culturally significant expressions in the Mexican state of Tlaxcala, characterized by indigenous dances from the Nahua origin. The large population of the state organizes this festival according to the uses and customs of each region.

This document discusses modeling mutual context between human pose and objects in human-object interaction activities. Previous approaches to human-object interaction and pose estimation have achieved limited success due to challenges like appearance variation, occlusion, and image similarity to body parts. The authors propose a model that represents activities, objects, human poses, and body parts, and captures their mutual context through a Markov random field with clique potentials. This mutual context framework aims to improve human pose estimation and object detection by leveraging information from each other.

John Goodricke was a pioneering 18th century English astronomer who made significant contributions to the field despite being deaf. He was born deaf in 1764 in the Netherlands to an English father and Dutch mother. Goodricke received an education that allowed him to read lips and speak, and he went on to study astronomy. In his short life, he discovered the periodic nature of the variable stars Algol and Beta Lyrae, and received the Copley Medal from the Royal Society. Sadly, Goodricke died of pneumonia at the young age of 21, but his work helped advance the field of astronomy.

The impact of spirituality before and after treatment of major depressive epi...Ignazio Graffeo CyberMaster
Greater levels of spirituality are associated with less severe depression. Patients reporting higher spirituality at baseline had lower scores on measures of hopelessness, dysfunctional attitudes, and depressive symptoms. Those who believed in God experienced greater decreases in depression, hopelessness, and dysfunctional thinking after 8 weeks of SSRI treatment compared to non-believers. Higher scores on a scale measuring spirituality correlated with greater improvements in depressive symptoms, hopelessness, and cognitive distortions following treatment. The findings suggest spirituality may enhance treatment outcomes for major depressive disorder.Paisaje En La Pintura

1) The document presents an integrated technique for detecting brain tumors in MRI images that combines modified texture-based region growing segmentation and edge detection.
2) The technique first performs pre-processing on MRI images, then uses modified texture-based region growing to segment regions. It then applies edge detection to extract the tumor region.
3) Experimental results show the integrated technique provides more accurate tumor detection compared to individual segmentation methods and manual segmentation.

California
California has a diverse geography and climate that helped support many native tribes with different livelihoods. The state contains several major harbors and the highest mountain in the continental US. In the early 20th century, the film industry was drawn to California due to its reliable weather and distance from litigation in the East Coast. Hollywood studios consolidated in the 1920s-30s and faced investigations during the Cold War era. Post-war California saw urbanization and suburbanization as its population grew significantly in the first half of the 20th century, attracting many migrants from the Midwest.

Panama & los anegles
The document summarizes two major water infrastructure projects in the early 20th century - the Panama Canal and the Los Angeles Aqueduct. The Panama Canal, completed in 1914, is a 50-mile shortcut between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans that raises ships 85 feet through a series of locks and man-made lakes. The Los Angeles Aqueduct, finished in 1913, is a 223-mile system of steel pipes that transports water from the Owens River in the Eastern Sierra Mountains to Los Angeles, providing a reliable water source for the growing city but devastating the Owens Valley ecosystem. Both projects required massive labor forces and engineering feats to overcome geographical challenges.

The LA Aqueduct, finished in 1913, was designed by William Mulholland and transports water from the Owens River in the Sierra Nevada mountains to Los Angeles via a 223-mile pipeline, ending farming in Owens Valley. Both projects required massive workforces, with 50,000 building the canal, and over 2,000 constructing the aqueduct through 164 tunnels.

Argentina has experienced considerable political instability over the last century, alternating between periods of democracy and military rule. Juan Peron rose to power in 1943 as a colonel and mobilized the working class, transforming Argentina's political landscape for decades. However, he was ousted in 1955 which began a period of economic and political chaos. Military governments intervened in the 1970s and 1980s before civilian democratic rule was restored in 1983, but hyperinflation and unrest plagued governments. Carlos Menem stabilized the economy in the 1990s through free market reforms before public dissatisfaction with corruption and unemployment led to political upheaval and the resignation of President Fernando de la Rua in 2001.

Buenos aires, argentina, nation
Argentina is a large country located in southern South America. It borders Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay, and has a diverse landscape that includes fertile plains, plateaus, and the Andes mountains. The population is mostly descended from European immigrants, and Spanish and Catholicism are dominant cultural influences.

Buenos Aires is the capital and largest city, and has played an important economic and political role throughout Argentina's history.
Urbanization
The document discusses the impact of globalization and technology on the rise of global cities and urbanization trends. It notes that cities, not states, are emerging as the dominant centers of governance and economic activity. Megacities over 10 million people are growing rapidly, particularly in Asia and other developing regions. However, very large cities also face challenges around inequality, infrastructure, and quality of life. The future will see continued competition between global cities and new models of urban development.
California the Pre-Civil War Years
The document discusses key events in California and the western United States in the years leading up to the Civil War. It describes how the acquisition of territory from Mexico after the Mexican-American War raised questions about the expansion of slavery. It also discusses the Gold Rush that began in 1848 and attracted thousands of migrants to California, most of whom wanted to keep slavery out of the new state. Tensions rose as the balance of power shifted between slave and free states. Several military expeditions also took place during this time aimed at conquering Cuba and other territories to potentially expand slavery.
Buenos aires, argentina, culture
The culture of Argentina emphasizes the Spanish and Catholic heritage, though some sectors see the gaucho tradition or Arabic origins as more important to national culture. Spanish is the dominant language, with Quechua and Guarani also spoken in some areas, and Lunfardo terms incorporated using words from various European languages. Football and the tango are strong symbols of national identity that unite the country. The tango originated in Buenos Aires as a dance of the lower classes. Dulce de leche and asado are important foods, and card games also reflect Argentine culture. Argentina is known for its writers, opera house, and dance theater, and has many art galleries in Buenos Aires.
