being stolen by the French marshals during the Peninsular
War. In 1828 Sir David Wilkie wrote from Madrid that he
felt himself in the presence of a new power in art as he
looked at the works of Velazquez, and at the same time
found a wonderful affinity between this master and the
English school of portrait painters, being specially
reminded of the firm, square touch of Henry Raeburn. He was
struck by the sense of modernness of impression, of direct
contact with nature, and of vital force which pervaded all
the work of Velazquez, in landscape as well as in

Case-based reasoning
[Preview]
This may involve adapting the solution as needed to fit the
new situation. In the pancake example, Fred must adapt his
retrieved solution to include the addition of blueberries.
Revise: Having mapped the previous solution to the target
situation, test the new solution in the real world (or a
simulation) and, if necessary, revise. Suppose Fred adapted
his pancake solution by adding blueberries to the batter.
After mixing, he discovers that the batter has turned blue
-- an undesired effect. This suggests the following
revision: delay the addition of blueberries until after the
batter has been ladled into the pan. Retain:

Communist and post-Communist
Albania
[Preview]
In August 1945, the provisional government adopted the
first sweeping agricultural reforms in Albania's history.
The country's 100 largest landowners, who controlled close
to a third of Albania's arable land, had frustrated all
agricultural reform proposals before the war. The
communists' reforms were aimed at squeezing large
landowners out of business, winning peasant support, and
increasing farm output to avert famine. The government
annulled outstanding agricultural debts, granted peasants
access to inexpensive water for irrigation, and
nationalized forest and pastureland. Under the Agrarian
Reform Law, which redistributed about half of Albania's
arable land, the government confiscated property belonging
to absentee landlords

He met frequently with this and other religious societies

of the parish churches were closed to him. Wesley's Oxford

from America, was also excluded from the churches of

Latin oration delivered by him there, in the general
concourse of his school competitors. The classical training
of the lycée strongly disposed him to literature. He was

Eisenhower used the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA),

Iran's government. To replace him, the US favored elevating
the young Shah of Iran, Mohammed Reza Pahlevi, from his
position as that of a constitutional monarch to that of an
absolute ruler. In return, the Shah allowed US companies to
share in the development of his nation's reserves. He
remained a close US ally for 25 years, even as his regime
was becoming increasingly hated and despotic. As another
aside, Iran is yet another example of the parallels

American Civil Rights
Movement

During Reconstruction (1865-1877), Northern troops occupied
the South and enforced these new constitutional amendments.
Many blacks took prominent positions in society, including
elected office. However, Reconstruction ended following the
Compromise of 1877 between Northern white elites and
Southern white elites. The compromise called for the
withdrawal of Northern troops from the South (giving
Southern whites a free hand to reinstitute discriminatory
practices) in exchange for deciding the contentious
Presidential election in favor of Rutherford B. Hayes,
supported by Northern states, over his opponent, Samuel J.
Tilden. Following the compromise, many states adopted
restrictive laws which enforced segregation of the races
