neg: History of Aruba Aruba 's first inhabitants were the Caquetio Indians from the Arawak tribe , who migrated there from Venezuela to escape attacks by the Caribs . Fragments of the earliest known Indian settlements date back to about 1000 . Due to Aruba 's mostly distant location from other Caribbean islands and strong currents in the sea which made canoe travel to the other islands difficult , the Caquetios remained more tied to South America than the Caribbean .   In 1636 , Aruba was acquired by the Netherlands and remained under their control for nearly two centuries .   In 1796 , the town that was later named Oranjestad , was founded and became the island 's capital .   During the Napoleonic wars , the British Empire took control over the island , between 1799 and 1802 , and between 1804 and 1816 , before handing it back to the Dutch .   A 19th-century gold rush was followed by prosperity brought on by first the opening of a crude oil transshipment facility in 1924 and then in 1928 with the opening of an oil refinery . This was the Lago Oil and Transport Company a 100 % owned subsidiary of Standard Oil of New Jersey . The Lago refinery was located on the east end of the island and on the west end Royal Dutch Shell had a small refinery , the Eagle Refinery which closed soon after World War II . The last decades of the 20th century saw a boom in the tourism industry , which became Aruba 's primary industry when the refinery closed in 1985 .   In 1986 , Aruba seceded from the Netherlands Antilles and became a separate , autonomous member of the Kingdom of the Netherlands , under the Dutch crown . Movement toward full independence was halted at Aruba 's prerogative in 1990 . Aruba has a mixture of people from South America , Europe , the Far East , and other islands of the Caribbean .   After a break in the coalition between the ruling Arubaanse Volkspartij ( AVP ) and the Organisashon Liberal Arubano ( OLA ) , the election of July 1998 was pushed forward to December 1997 . The results were unclear , with votes equally divided between the People 's Electoral Movement Party ( MEP ) , the AVP , and the OLA . After negotiations failed to unite the MEP and AVP , a new coalition between the AVP and OLA formed , which forced the MEP to be the opposition .

neg: French Guiana French Guiana ( pronounced -LSB- giːˈɑːnə -RSB- or -LSB- giːˈænə -RSB- , Guyane française -LSB- ɡɥijan fʁɑ̃sɛz -RSB- ) , officially called Guiana ( Guyane ) , is an overseas department and region of France , located on the north Atlantic coast of South America in the Guyanas . It borders Brazil to the east and south , and Suriname to the west . Its 83,534 km2 area has a very low population density of only 3 inhabitants per km2 , with half of its 244,118 inhabitants in 2013 living in the metropolitan area of Cayenne , its capital . By land area , it is the second largest region of France and the largest outermost region within the European Union .   Both the region and the department have been ruled since December 2015 by a single assembly within the framework of a new territorial collectivity , the French Guiana Territorial Collectivity ( French : collectivité territoriale de Guyane ) . This assembly , the French Guiana Assembly ( French : assemblée de Guyane ) , has replaced the former regional council and departmental council , which were both disbanded . The French Guiana Assembly is in charge of regional and departmental government . Its president is Rodolphe Alexandre .   The area was originally inhabited by Native Americans . The first French establishment is recorded in 1503 but the French presence did n't really become durable until 1643 and the foundation of Cayenne . Guiana then became a slave colony and saw its population increase until the official abolition of slavery at the time of the French revolution . Guiana temporarily became a French department in 1797 but was gradually transformed into a penal colony with the establishment of a network of camps and penitentiaries spread over the coast where prisoners were sentenced to forced labor . During World War II , the Guianan Félix Éboué was one of the first to stand behind General de Gaulle as early as June 18 , 1940 . Guiana officially rallied Free France in 1943 . It definitively abandoned its status as a colony and became again a French department in 1946 . De Gaulle , who became president , decided to establish the Guiana Space Center in 1965 . It is now operated by the CNES , Arianespace and the European Space Agency ( ESA ) . Several thousand Hmong refugees from Laos migrated to French Guiana in the late 1970s and early 1980s .   Nowadays fully integrated in the French central state , Guiana is a part of the European Union , and its official currency is the euro . The region is the most prosperous territory in South America with the highest GDP per capita . A large part of Guiana 's economy derives from the presence of the Guiana Space Centre , now the European Space Agency 's primary launch site near the equator . As elsewhere in France , the official language is French , but each ethnic community has its own language , of which Guianan Creole is the most widely spoken .

neg: Yngwe Elstak Yngwe Elstak is a former Surinamese military . He was the first commander of the Surinamese Armed Forces , from November 25 , 1975 , until February 25 , 1980 .   Elstak was born in the Dutch East Indies to Surinamese parents . He left the Dutch East Indies after World War II . As a career soldier in Dutch service , he moved to the Forces in Suriname ( TRIS ) , part of the Royal Netherlands Army . In the run of the independence of Suriname in 1975 , Elstak was appointed as project officer for the transition of the TRIS to the Surinamese Armed Forces . With the independence of Suriname on November 25 , 1975 , Elstak went into Surinamese service and became the first commander of the Suriname Armed Forces .   In subsequent years , there was much unrest in the Surinamese army , particularly on working conditions . In 1980 , non-commissioned officers founded a new Surinamese military union : the BoMiKa ( Association of Military Framework ) . The establishment of the BoMiKa was unacceptable to Elstak and Prime Minister Henck Arron . The three board members were put in prison . As a result , on 25 February 1980 , sixteen sergeants led by Dési Bouterse overthrew the Arron government with a violent military coup d'état , now known as the Sergeants Coup . Colonel Elstak was deposed by the coup perpetrators as commander and replaced by Bouterse .

neg: DVD authoring DVD authoring is the process of creating a DVD video capable of playing on a DVD player . DVD authoring software must conform to the specifications set by the DVD Forum .   DVD authoring is the second step in the process of producing finished DVDs . The first step is the creation of the movie ( or programme ) and the second , the authoring , is the creation of artwork , user menus , insertion of chapter points , overdubs/commentaries , setting autoplay and/or repeat options , etc. . The final step is the manufacturing ( replication ) process to mass-produce finished DVDs .   Strictly speaking , DVD authoring differs from the process of MPEG encoding , but most DVD authoring software has a built-in encoder , although separate encoders are still used when better quality or finer control over compression settings are required .   Most DVD-authoring applications focus exclusively on video DVDs and do not support the authoring of DVD-Audio discs .   Stand-alone DVD recorder units generally have basic authoring functions , though the creator of the DVD has little or no control over the layout of the DVD menus , which generally differ between models and brands .

neg: Taiwanization Taiwanization , also known as the Taiwanese localization movement , is a conceptual term used in Taiwan to emphasize the importance of a ( separate ) Taiwanese culture , society , economy , nationality , and identity rather than to regard Taiwan as solely an appendage of China . This involves the teaching of the history of Taiwan , geography , and culture from a Taiwan-centric perspective , as well as promoting languages locally established in Taiwan , including Taiwanese Hokkien ( Taiwanese ) , Hakka , and aboriginal languages .   Originally part of the Taiwan independence movement and related to the Taiwan Name Rectification Campaign , some of Taiwanization 's aims are now endorsed by some supporters of Chinese Unification on Taiwan .   The localization movement has been expressed in forms such as the use of language or dialect in the broadcast media and entire channels devoted to aboriginal and Hakka affairs . Textbooks have been rewritten by scholars to more prominently emphasize Taiwan . The political compromise that has been reached is to teach both the history of Taiwan and the history of mainland China .   Some Taiwanese-owned companies or organizations established in earlier times have names containing the words `` China '' or `` Chinese '' .
