The Apache are an Athabaskan people comprising several American Indian tribes that live in south-west USA. The seven tribes appear to have formerly been a single tribe that divided over the years and settled in separate parts of the south-west of the USA, mainly in Arizona and Texas where they resisted settlement by the Spanish, but were themselves reduced in numbers by invading Comanche peoples.

The Navaho (Navajo) are a peaceable agricultural North American Indian people related to the Apache originally occupying the northern part of New Mexico and Arizona.. Like the Apache, they speak a Southern Athapaskan language. The Mexicans continually attempted to reduce them, but failed. After long-continued hostilities against the whites, Colonel Carson compelled them in 1863 to leave their country and remove to Bosque Redondo as prisoners of the Government. In 1868 they were removed to Fort Wingate, and in 1869 were again placed in their old country.

In computing, hot linking refers to web pages which cause an object, usually an image, to be displayed which is located on another web server. This often causes problems for the owner of the other web server as they have to pay for the transfer of the object from their server to the client, for the benefit of the hot linking web site. With the popular Apache web server, hot linking of objects is simply prevented by configuring the Apache server, most usually be adding a '.htaccess' file with suitable commands to the directory in which objects that should not be hot linked are located.
