Pernambuco is a state of Brazil, located in the northeastern part of the country. To the north is the states of Paraíba and Ceará, to the west is Piauí, to the south is Alagoas and Bahia, and to the east is the Atlantic Ocean.

Geography

Pernambuco has a territory covered mostly by the dry thorny scrub vegetation called Caatinga.

History

Pernambuco was the home for the most important rebellions and insurrections in Brazilian history, especially in the 19th century. It was first colonized by Portuguese settlers, then occupied by the Dutch in 1630, and militarly regained by Portugal in 1654. The Dutch legacy is still recognizable in Pernambuco's people, accent, and architecture.

Pernambuco was the site of the brief liberal Praieira revolt in 1848, which was Brazil's response to the European year of failed liberal revoltions. The military officer who put it down was Deodoro da Fonseca, later briefly the first president of the Brazilian republic.

Portable Executable

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

The Portable Executable (PE) format is an executable file format used in 32-bit versions of Windows operating systems. PE is basically an extended version of the Unix COFF file format.

Computer viruses that infect PE files, such as CIH, often fill in the empty spaces within the file, so the file size does not grow.

Government of Prince Edward Island
Prince Edward Island (PEI; French, l'Île-du-Prince-Édouard) is Canada's smallest province in terms of both size and population.

The province, in the Canadian Maritimes comprises the island of the same name located in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence northeast of New Brunswick from which it is separated by the Northumberland Strait. The strait was recently spanned by Confederation Bridge.

The population is 138 500 (Prince Edward Islanders). The capital and largest city is Charlottetown. See also a list of communities in Prince Edward Island.

PEI is known for its potatoes, and is also known as the setting for Lucy Maud Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables series.

History

The island has been known in Mi'kmaq as Abegweit, and as part of New France was called Île Saint-Jean. Having taken it over in 1759, the British changed its name to Prince Edward Island in 1798 to disambiguate from other St. Johns in the Atlantic area, such as Saint John, New Brunswick and St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. It was named for the brother of King George III, Prince Edward, the Duke of Kent, who was then commanding troops in Halifax.

In 1864, Prince Edward Island hosted the conference that led to the Articles of Confederation and the creation of Canada in 1867. Nevertheless, it only joined Canada as a province in 1873.

Politics

In the most recent provincial election, Premier Pat Binns was returned to power.
