This document provides an overview of animal classification by discussing invertebrates and vertebrates. It notes that over 98% of animal species are invertebrates, which lack backbones, while vertebrates have backbones. Common invertebrate groups include protozoa, annelids, mollusks, echinoderms, crustaceans, arachnids, and insects. Vertebrate groups include fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals such as marsupials, primates, rodents, whales, dolphins, and seals. Each group is briefly characterized.
Kingdom Animalia Phylum Chordata Class ReptaliaiPagador
In order for us to understand how all living organisms are related, they are arranged into different groups. The more features that a group of animals share, the more specific the group is. Animals are given scientific names so that people all around the world can communicate about animals, no matter what language they speak (these names are traditionally Latin words). Animals belong to a number of different groups, starting with the animal kingdom.
Kingdom
All living organisms are first placed into different kingdoms. There are five different kingdoms to classify life on Earth, which are Animals, Plants, Fungi, Bacteria, and Protists (single-celled organisms).
Phylum
The animal kingdom is divided into 40 smaller groups, known as phylum. Here, animals are grouped by their main features. Animals usually fall into one of five different phylum which are Cnidaria (invertebrates), Chordata (vertebrates), Arthropods, Molluscs and Echinoderms.
Class
The phylum group is then divided into even smaller groups, known as classes. The Chordata (vertebrates) phylum splits up into Mammalia (Mammals), Actinopterygii (Bony Fish), Chondrichthyes (Cartilaginous Fish) , Aves (Birds), Amphibia (Amphibians) and Reptilia (Reptiles).
Order
Each class is divided into small groups again, known as orders. The class Mammalia (Mammals), splits into different groups including Carnivora, Primate, Artiodactyla and Rodentia.
Family
In every order, there are different families of animals which all have very similar features. The Carnivora order breaks into families that include Felidae (Cats), Canidae (Dogs), Ursidae (Bears), and Mustelidae (Weasels).
Genus
Every animal family is then divided into small groups known as genus. Each genus contains animals that have very similar features and are closely related. For example, the Felidae (Cat) family contains genus including Felis (small Cats and domestic Cats), Panthera (Tigers, Leopards, Jaguars and Lions) and Puma (Panthers and Cougars).
Species
Each individual species within the genus is named after it's individual features and characteristics. The names of animals are in Latin so that they can be understood worldwide, and consist of two words. The first word in the name of an animal will be the genus, and the second name indicates the specific species.
Example 1 - Tiger
Kingdom: Animalia (Animal)
Phylum: Chordata (Vertebrate)
Class: Mammalia (Mammal)
Order: Carnivora (Carnivore)
Family: Felidae (Cat)
Genus: Panthera
Species: Panthera tigris (Tiger)

LA ALIMENTACION EN LA BIBLIA Y SUS BENEFICIOSRicardo Mojica
LA ALIMENTACION
Una de las formas de cuidar el cuerpo es por medio de la alimentación apropiada. Esto se puede resumir en cinco grandes categorías:
La alimentación apropiada con respecto a lo que comemos.
La alimentación apropiada con respecto a la manera cómo preparamos los alimentos que ingerimos.
La alimentación apropiada con respecto al tiempo en que esos alimentos deben ser ingeridos.
La alimentación apropiada con respecto a la forma cómo nuestro cuerpo los asimila. La alimentación apropiada con respecto a la forma cómo nuestro cuerpo elimina las sustancias tóxicas o de desecho.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2. Introduction
There are many
different types of
animals in the world.
Many animals are
quite similar to each
other. Others are quite
different. Animals can
be classified based on
their similarities.
3. Invertebrates Vertebrates
Animals Animals
without a Backbone with a Backbone
or Spinal Column: or Spinal Column:
(All these animals are in
the phyla Chordate and the
subphyla Vertebrata.)
Protozoa Fish
(phyla: protozoa) (group: Pisces)
Echinoderms Amphibians
such as starfish such as frogs
(phyla: Echinodermata) (class: Amphibia)
Annelids Reptiles
such as earthworms such as crocodiles
(phyla: Annelida) (class: Reptilia)
4. Mollusks Birds
such as octopus (class: Aves)
(phyla: Mollusca)
Arthropods Mammals
such as crabs, spiders and (class: Mammalia)
insects
(phyla: Arthropoda)
Crustaceans Marsupials
such as crabs such as kangaroos
(subphyla: Crustacea) (order: Marsupialia)
Arachnids Primates
such as spiders such as gorillas and
(subphyla: Chelicerata chimpanzees
class: Arachnida) (order: Primates)
5. Insects Rodents
(subphyla: Uniramia such as mice
class: Insecta) (order: Rodentia)
Cetaceans
such as whales and
dolphins
( order: Cetacea)
Animals such as seals
(order: Carnivora
family: Phocidae)
6. Invertebrates
Of the million or more animal
species in the world, more than
98% are invertebrates.
Invertebrates don't have an
internal skeleton made of bone.
Many invertebrates have a fluid-
filled, hydrostatic skeleton, like
the jelly fish or worm. Others
have a hard outer shell, like
insects and crustaceans. There
are many types of invertebrates.
The most common invertebrates
include the protozoa, annelids,
echinoderms, mollusks and
arthropods. Arthropods include
insects, crustaceans and
arachnids
9. Protozoa
Protozoa are
simple, single-
celled animals.
Most protozoa
are microscopic
in size.
There are several
types of protozoa.
The amoebas are
clear, shapeless
cells. Flagellates
have a body
shape looking like
a hair.
10. Annelids: W rms and Leeches
Annelids have
bodies that are
divided into
segments. Annelids
have very well-
developed internal
organs. Some may
have long bristles.
Others have shorter
bristles and seem
smooth, like the
earthworm shown
here.
11. Mollusks
Mollusks were among the
first inhabitants of the Earth.
Fossils of mollusks have
been found in rocks and date
back over 500 million years.
Mollusk fossils are usually
well preserved because of
their hard shell.
Most mollusks have a soft,
skin-like organ covered with
a hard outside shell. Some
mollusks live on land, such
as the snail and slug. Other
mollusks live in water, such
as the oyster, mussel, clam,
squid and octopus.
12. Echinoderms: Starfish and
a Family
Echinoderms are marine
animals that live in the ocean.
They have arms or spines that
radiate from the center of their
body. The central body
contains their organs, and
their mouth for feeding.
Sea stars, commonly known
as the starfish, have 5 or more
arms attached to their body.
Sea urchins have many
spines connected to their
body. These spines help to
protect them from predators.
13. Crustaceans
Crustaceans are a
type of Arthropod.
The name may not
sound familiar, but
you probably know
them. You may even
have eaten one.
Crustaceans live
mostly in the ocean or
other waters. Most
commonly known
crustaceans are the
crab, lobster and
barnacle.
14. Arachnids: Spiders, Ticks and
a
Scorpions
Arachnids are a type of
arthropod. You know many
of them as spiders.
Like other arthropods, the
arachnids have a hard
exoskeleton and jointed
appendages for walking.
Unlike other arthropods,
arachnids do not have
antennae.
Common arachnids are the
spider, scorpions, ticks and
mites.
15. Insects
Insects are the largest
group of arthropods.
There are over
800,000 different
types of insects.
Insects are very
adaptable, living
almost everywhere in
the world. Insects
have an exoskeleton
that covers their entire
body. An insect's body
consists of the head,
thorax and abdomen.
16. Vertebrates
Animals with an internal
skeleton made of bone
are called vertebrates.
Vertebrates include:
primates, such as humans
and monkeys;
amphibians; reptiles;
birds; and, fish.
Although vertebrates
represent only a very
small percentage of all
animals, their size and
mobility often allow them
to dominate their
environment.
20. Fish
Almost three-forths of the
world's surface is covered
in water. This water is
home to over 20,000
different species of fish.
The earliest fossils of fish
date back over 400
million years.
There are a wide variety
of fish — from the goby
which is less than one
half an inch long, to the
whale shark which can be
over 60 feet long.
21. Amphibians
Amphibians lay their eggs in
water, and young
amphibians tend to
resemble small fish.
Depending on the species of
amphibian, breathing can
take place in gills, lungs, the
lining of the mouth, the skin,
or some combination of
these.
Amphibian’s body
temperature changes with its
environment. In cold
climates, amphibians
hibernate during the winter.
22. Reptiles: Lizards, Snakes, and
a Others
The most noticeable
feature of reptiles is the
scales that cover their
body.
Although reptiles
breathe through lungs,
some reptiles can also
absorb oxygen in water
through membranes in
their mouth.
Reptiles are often called
cold-blooded because
they can't regulate their
own body temperature.
23. Birds
Birds first appeared
about 150 million
years ago. Birds now
live almost
everywhere on
Earth.
There are over 8,000
species of birds.
Birds have 3 major
differentiating
characteristics:
wings for flight,
feathers, and a beak
rather than teeth.
24. Mammals
Mammals have
several unique
characteristics that
differentiate them
from other animals.
Most mammals
have hair, or fur,
covering their body.
They are also
capable of
regulating their
body temperature.
25. Marsupials: Kangaroo, Koala
and Wombat
Marsupials are best
known for the
Australian members of
the family, the
kangaroo and the
koala.
Marsupials are
members of the
mammal family.
However, they are
different from other
mammals because
they have an
abdominal pouch to
carry their young.
26. Primates
Humans are part of the
primate family. Other
common primates
include the monkey,
baboon, orangutan,
chimpanzee and gorilla.
Primates have several
distinctive features that
separate them from other
mammals. Primates
have well developed
hands and feet, with
fingers and toes. Their
opposable thumb makes
it easy for them to grab
things.
30. Rodents: Squirrels, Mice,
Porcupines
The largest family of mammals
are the rodents. These
mammals are named rodent,
which means "gnawing animal,"
because of their large incisor
teeth and the way they eat. The
two long pairs of incisors are
used like chisels to gnaw on
hard foods like nuts and wood.
These incisors must grow
continuously since they are
worn down by gnawing.
There are 3 major types of
rodents, represented by
squirrels, mice and porcupines.
31. Cetaceans : Whales and Dolphins
Although they live in the
water -- whales, dolphins
and porpoises are
mammals.
Since whales and dolphins
are mammals, they cannot
breathe under water. They
must come to the surface to
breathe air. They breathe
through a blowhole, or
nostrils, on the top of their
head. Babies are born
under water and must be
pushed to the surface, by
the mother, so that they can
take a breath.
32. Seals, Seal Lions and Walrus
The seals are marine
mammals. The seal family
includes the seal, sea lion
and the walrus.
A seal's respiratory system is
adapted for water. A seal can
go for 40 minutes without a
breath. This allows them to
dive to a depth of over 2,000
feet.
Seals are well designed to
swim in water. Their bodies
are very streamlined and their
flippers propel them quickly
through the water.
