Anyone familiar with Colonial Latin American history? I'm just doing some research for a course and I was wondering if you guys were familiar on any of these 3 topics (Essay >_>) Question 1: Which term, or combination of terms, best describes the experiences of indigenous peoples and African slaves in colonial Latin America: domination, accommodation (ie making use of colonial institutions), or resistance?

What were the Catholic Church's social, cultural and political roles in colonial Latin America? Question 3: Reflect on the importance of the Bourbon reforms for colonial Latin Amer

Need help with history essay introduction I have a history paper due tomorrow (1800 words :~() It's on mostly 4th century Europe, and my chosen thesis is the fusion of Christianity and classics in Pre-historic Europe. The essay topic is "What have you learned so far in this course" The body paragraph is not that much of a problem, but I'm really stumped on how I should start this. It is a formal essay, so I can't start like "Well so far in this course, I learned that bla blabl ablablablalba..." How should I start a formal essay on such an informally-expressed essay topic?

How to make my Pc games to run faster? So I bought Sleeping Dogs on the PC today, and I downloaded it. I started playing it, but my game seems to be running really, really slowly. It's as if the characters are running in slow motion. I looked up a video, and the characters move like 5x faster than mine (For me, even the cops chase at a walking speed) I'm only running Gamebooster, and not downloading something. Is my computer the problem, or just the game? (I get around 80 ping and around 50 fps in league of legends) Does remaining computer space have anything to do with this? (10GB left) If not, what are some ways to get my game faster? I don't think I can buy a new graphics card. I'm pretty sure this is my Computer specs.

University - Bachelor of Arts So I'm already a Senior, and I'm planning to apply to this University (in Canada) to pursue Journalism. However, I'm not exactly sure what I have to major/minor in to pursue it, and I don't want to apply as "Undeclared". Here's the link to all the possible Major/minors in Arts for the University. I was leaning towards a Sociology/East Asian Studies and Creative Writing as a minor. (Which ARE my strong points, but they're all that useful imo.) I'm not sure how that would play out, though. I was also going to pursue something in the government (Int'l relations, public relations, translator) but I can't bear to learn French, which is required in the gov't.

Physics 12 - Magnetic and Electric fields help Hiya. This is apparently Canadian Gr.12 Physics work. 1. What would happen to the direction of the magnetic force if the loop of wire were to undergo one half turn without reversing the direction of the current in the loop? Show the starting position. 2.Knowing the formulas for magnetic force, describe how each of the following factors influences the magnitude of the magnetic force and give the reason: a) Strength of the magnetic field b) speed of the magnet passing the coil c) number of loops d) the current 3. explain why the generator effect would occur in the same way if the wire were moved rather than the magnet. 4. Would two parallel wires carrying a current in opposite directions repel or

Pre Calc 12 Math Help I've done all my questions except these three which are stuck on. Can I get the explanation on how I do them? :~( 1. Completely factor 3x^3-x^2-8x+12 by (x+2) using long division or synthetic division [SOLVED] 2. Completely factor 2x^4 + 3x^3 - 17x^2 - 27x-9 like #1 3. There is a box, which measures Length=20cm, Width=10cm, Height=X. The 4 corners of the box are cut out, Length=x, Width=x, height=x.

How to get closer to a girl I like I know this is pretty sad asking this on Basilmarket, but here's how it went down: Last summer, I asked a girl out. I'm a Senior, Asian. She's a Junior, Caucasian. She said yes AND no. When I asked she replied that she didn't want a relationship during the summer, but she's okay with being with me during the school year. I only have classes after lunch (a whole poopload of spares) She likes locking arms with me and holding my hands/sitting together in the library. She likes the things I like. However, I don't have the balls to ask her out again, because I have no clue what to do. I live in a pretty small town (I think the population is like 5k) and I don't know what I'm supposed to do after I get in a rela
