Hitler established the Third Reich in Germany in 1933 and sought to create a New Order of absolute Nazi German dominance over continental Europe. By 1945, the harsh Nazi occupation varied between western and eastern Europe, with harsher rule in the east where rations were short and repression was close to the surface. While some countries like Denmark held elections under Nazi occupation, collaboration with the Germans waned as the tide of battle turned against them. By the end of World War 2 in 1945, Germany and much of Europe lay in ruins after Hitler's war, which was the most destructive conflict in history resulting in over 54 million deaths.

Computer Assisted Review and Reasonable Solutions under Rule26Michael Geske
The document discusses various studies conducted by the Electronic Discovery Institute on topics related to meeting reasonableness requirements for discovery responses under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. It summarizes several studies, including ones on de-duplication of documents, categorization of documents, and email threading. The studies found that these technology-assisted processes can help reduce costs and improve accuracy and speed of discovery compared to solely human review.

Human beings emerged in Africa around 250,000 years ago and began migrating out of Africa around 100,000 years ago, populating the world. Paleolithic societies consisted of small bands of 25-30 hunter-gatherers who were nomadic. Around 12,000 years ago, agriculture began to emerge, allowing people to produce surplus food and live in larger, more permanent settlements. Early civilizations developed around 3500-3000 BC in Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Peru, featuring city life, class divisions, and early forms of government. While sharing common features, Mesopotamian and Egyptian civilizations also had important differences in their development.
Nelson Mandela was a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary and politician who served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999. He was born in 1918 and joined the African National Congress in 1944 to fight against apartheid policies. Mandela was imprisoned for 27 years for anti-apartheid activities before being released in 1990. He then helped negotiate an end to apartheid and was elected the first black president of South Africa in 1994.
Mohandas Gandhi was an Indian independence leader and spiritual leader. Born in 1869, he studied law in London and South Africa where he developed his philosophy of nonviolent civil disobedience. He returned to India in 1915 and led the campaign for Indian independence from Britain
The Little Ice Age was a period of cooling that occurred between the 13th and 19th centuries, characterized by expanding glaciers and harsh winters in Europe and North America. Life was difficult during this time, with crop failures and famine. The causes were likely natural factors like decreased sunspot activity and shifts in ocean currents rather than human greenhouse gas emissions. The Little Ice Age ended in the 1850s and temperatures began to rise again, though some argue the current warming is part of Earth's recovery rather than a result of human activity.

Conf Cumbre Miami: Movilizacion emocional y movimientos socialesRicardo Castillo
Este documento propone que las campañas políticas se enfoquen en movilizar a los ciudadanos como parte de un movimiento social, no solo en promover al candidato. Sugiere tres estrategias clave: 1) organizar conversaciones ciudadanas sobre los temas de la campaña, 2) crear una infraestructura para registrar y dar seguimiento a estas conversaciones, y 3) reclutar y organizar un ejército de voluntarios para llevar a cabo las conversaciones.

Automated Python Test Frameworks for Hardware Verification and ValidationBarbara Jones
This document discusses automated testing of hardware using Python test frameworks. It describes using test frameworks to design broad hardware tests from specifications, control external equipment, and handle test data analysis. As an example, it outlines a phase alignment test between multiple instruments, including setting up the test with a waveform generator, running a sequence of configurations, and calculating the discrete Fourier transform of the results to check for phase differences within a tolerance. The goal is to validate and verify hardware using an automated and flexible test framework approach.
Three Slide Challenge: Ceremony--the Poem in the MiddleMichelle Kassorla
The Native Americans initially welcomed European explorers and settlers but over time the Europeans disregarded the land and resources, pursuing conquest through brutal attacks. The colonists unintentionally brought deadly diseases that decimated Native American populations and destroyed entire villages. As more Europeans arrived, it led to conflicts, forced relocation of Native Americans from their homes, and attempts to destroy their culture and language through policies like relocation programs and residential schools.
