why is the us canada's largest trading partner
21,012,462
[ "Free Trade Agreement" ]
Historically , the issue of Canada 's largest trade partners , and dependence on particular markets , has been a major political issue . At the time of Confederation in 1867 , the United Kingdom was by far Canada 's largest trading partner , reflecting the close historical , cultural , and institutional ties within the British Empire . Over time , more and more of Canada 's trade was proportionally done with the United States . Various governments hoped to strengthen or reverse this trend , by changing tariff policy either to one of Imperial Preference with the British , Reciprocity with the National Policy of internal development . The 1891 and 1911 elections were fought partly over the issue of closer trade relationships with the British . Following the Civil War , the United States emerged as Canada 's largest trading partner . By the time the United Kingdom joined the European Economic Community in 1973 , the idea of the UK as an alternative to the USA as Canada 's largest market was no longer viable . Canada and the United States signed the Free Trade Agreement in 1988 ( which was expanded into NAFTA by the addition of Mexico in 1994 ) . Since that time the United States has dominated Canadian trade by an overwhelming degree . After the Wars , trade with Asia began to expand , especially China . After the opening of Canada -- People 's Republic of China relations in 1970 , trade with China has expanded rapidly .

[ "Lord Canning" ]
Following the adoption of the Government of India Act of 1858 , the Governor - General as representing the Crown became known as the Viceroy . The designation ' Viceroy ' , although it was most frequently used in ordinary parlance , had no statutory authority , and was never employed by Parliament . Although the Proclamation of 1858 announcing the assumption of the government of India by the Crown referred to Lord Canning as '' first Viceroy and Governor - General '' , none of the Warrants appointing his successors referred to them as ' Viceroys ' , and the title , which was frequently used in Warrants dealing with precedence and in public notifications , was basically one of ceremony used in connection with the state and social functions of the Sovereign 's representative . The Governor - General continued to be the sole representative of the Crown , and the Government of India continued to be vested in the Governor - General - in - Council .

how many bytes did each character require for extended ascii characters
21,027,600
[ "a single byte" ]
Some multi-byte character encodings ( character encodings that can handle more than 256 different characters ) are also true extended ASCII . That means all ASCII characters are encoded with a single byte with the value that is used in ASCII to encode that character . They can be used in file formats where only ASCII bytes are used for keywords and file format syntax , while bytes 0x80 - 0xFF might be used for free text , including most programming languages , where language keywords , variable names , and function names must be in ASCII , but string constants and comments can use non-ASCII characters . This makes it much easier to introduce a multi-byte character set into existing systems that use extended ASCII .

[ "January 8 , 1863" ]
The Central Pacific broke ground on January 8 , 1863 . Due to the lack of transportation alternatives from the manufacturing centers on the east coast , virtually all of their tools and machinery including rails , railroad switches , railroad turntables , freight and passenger cars , and steam locomotives were transported first by train to east coast ports . They were then loaded on ships which either sailed around South America 's Cape Horn , or offloaded the cargo at the Isthmus of Panama , where it was sent across via paddle steamer and the Panama Railroad . The Panama Railroad gauge was 5 ft ( 1524 mm ) , which was incompatible with the 4 ft 8 1 / 2 inch ( 1435mm ) gauge used by the CPRR equipment . The latter route was about twice as expensive per pound .

why did german workers go on strike in 1923

[ "occupation" ]
The occupation was greeted by a campaign of passive resistance . Approximately 130 German civilians were killed by the French occupation army during the events , including during civil disobedience protests , e.g. against dismissal of German officials . Some theories assert that to pay for passive resistance in the Ruhr , the German government began the hyperinflation that destroyed the German economy in 1923 . Others state that the road to hyperinflation was well established before with the reparation payments that started on November 1921 , see 1920s German inflation . In the face of economic collapse , with high unemployment and hyperinflation , the strikes were eventually called off in September 1923 by the new Gustav Stresemann coalition government , which was followed by a state of emergency . Despite this , civil unrest grew into riots and coup attempts targeted at the government of the Weimar Republic , including the Beer Hall Putsch . The Rhenish Republic was proclaimed at Aachen ( Aix - la - Chapelle ) in October 1923 .

The comic 's protagonist is a border collie sheepdog , called '' Dog '' , owned by Wal Footrot , who runs a sheep and cattle farm called Footrot Flats near the fictional rural town of Raupo in New Zealand . The comic depicts the trials and tribulations of Wal , the Dog and other characters , human and animal , that come into their lives . The Dog 's thoughts are voiced in thought bubbles , though he is clearly '' just a dog '' , unlike the heavily anthropomorphised creatures of some other comics or animation . The humour draws on the foibles of the characters , which many farmers found easy to recognise around them . There was much '' humour in adversity '' , making fun of the daily struggle that permeates farming life . The depictions of the animals are quite realistic and detailed , with a dose of comic anthropomorphism superimposed without spoiling the farming realism .

They stipulated that the vehicle would have to maintain an average speed of more than 5 miles per hour ( 8.0 km / h ) over a 200 - mile ( 320 km ) course . The offer led to the first city to city automobile race in the United States , starting on 16 July 1878 in Green Bay , Wisconsin , and ending in Madison , via Appleton , Oshkosh , Waupun , Watertown , Fort Atkinson , and Janesville . While seven vehicles were registered , only two started to compete : the entries from Green Bay and Oshkosh . The vehicle from Green Bay was faster , but broke down before completing the race . The Oshkosh finished the 201 - mile ( 323 km ) course in 33 hours and 27 minutes , and posted an average speed of six miles per hour . In 1879 , the legislature awarded half the prize .

The rich mineral content is provided by the underground geological layers and pushed up to the surface by the hot water ( at about 1.2 MPa ( 170 psi ) pressure and 240 ° C ( 464 ° F ) temperature ) used by the plant . Because of its mineral concentration , water can not be recycled and must be disposed of in the nearby landscape , a permeable lava field that varies in thickness from 50 cm ( 20 in ) to 1 m ( 3.3 ft ) . The silicate minerals is the primary cause of that water 's milky blue shade . After the minerals have formed a deposit , the water reinfiltrates the ground , but the deposit renders it impermeable over time , hence the necessity for the plant to continuously dig new ponds in the nearby lava field .

In the early 19th century , the Industrial Revolution began to transform Britain ; by the time of the Great Exhibition in 1851 the country was described as the '' workshop of the world '' . The British Empire expanded to include most of India , large parts of Africa and many other territories throughout the world . Alongside the formal control that Britain exerted over its own colonies , its dominance of much of world trade meant that it effectively controlled the economies of many regions , such as Asia and Latin America .

[ "the Phoenician alphabet" ]
The Proto - Sinaitic script eventually developed into the Phoenician alphabet , which is conventionally called '' Proto - Canaanite '' before ca . 1050 BC . The oldest text in Phoenician script is an inscription on the sarcophagus of King Ahiram . This script is the parent script of all western alphabets . By the tenth century , two other forms can be distinguished , namely Canaanite and Aramaic . The Aramaic gave rise to the Hebrew script . The South Arabian alphabet , a sister script to the Phoenician alphabet , is the script from which the Ge'ez alphabet ( an abugida ) is descended . Vowelless alphabets , which are not true alphabets , are called abjads , currently exemplified in scripts including Arabic , Hebrew , and Syriac . The omission of vowels was not always a satisfactory solution and some '' weak '' consonants are sometimes used to indicate the vowel quality of a syllable ( matres lectionis ) . These letters have a dual function since they are also used as pure consonants .

In 1915 Cheek - Neal began using a '' Good to the last drop '' slogan to advertise their Maxwell House Coffee . For several years , the ads made no mention of Theodore Roosevelt as the phrase 's originator . By the 1930s , however , the company was running advertisements that claimed that the former president had taken a sip of Maxwell House Coffee on a visit to Andrew Jackson 's estate , The Hermitage , near Nashville on October 21 , 1907 , and when served coffee , he proclaimed it to be '' good to the last drop '' . During this time , Coca - Cola also used the slogan '' Good to the last drop '' .

21,027,657
[ "presocratic" ]
Humankind 's mental engagement with nature certainly predates civilization and the record of history . Philosophical , and specifically non-religious thought about the natural world , goes back to ancient Greece . These lines of thought began before Socrates , who turned from his philosophical studies from speculations about nature to a consideration of man , viz. , political philosophy . The thought of early philosophers such Parmenides , Heraclitus , and Democritus centered on the natural world . In addition , three presocratic philosophers who lived in the Ionian town of Miletus ( hence the Milesian School of philosophy , ) Thales , Anaximander , and Anaximenes , attempted to explain natural phenomena without recourse to creation myths involving the Greek gods . They were called the physikoi ( natural philosophers , ) or , as Aristotle referred to them , the physiologoi . Plato followed Socrates in concentrating on man . It was Plato 's student , Aristotle , who , in basing his thought on the natural world , returned empiricism to its primary place , while leaving room in the world for man . Martin Heidegger observes that Aristotle was the originator of conception of nature that prevailed in the Middle Ages into the modern era :
