History of halloween
The origins of Halloween date back over 2,000 years to Celtic traditions. The Celts in Britain and France celebrated Samhain on November 1st, believing it marked the boundary between the living and the dead and that ghosts would roam on that night. They would light bonfires and dress in costumes to ward off spirits. When the Romans conquered the Celts, their traditions influenced the Christian holiday of All Hallows Eve celebrated on October 31st. Over time, Halloween evolved from religious traditions to a more secular community-focused celebration involving costumes, food, and games.
History Of Halloween
The document summarizes the history and origins of Halloween traditions. It traces the holiday's roots to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, a celebration of the end of the harvest season and the onset of winter. During Samhain, the Celts believed the boundary between the living and dead became thinner and spirits could easily cross over. The Catholic church later instituted All Saints' Day on November 1st and Halloween customs evolved from pagan Samhain traditions and Catholic influences. The document cautions that some Halloween practices have occult origins and are incompatible with Christianity.

Niagara Falls was first discovered by a French explorer in 1678 and brought to the attention of the western world. The tremendous volume of water never stops flowing, though the flow was once stopped completely by ice jams in 1848 and 1969. The world's first large-scale hydroelectric plant opened at Niagara Falls in 1895. Today, the American, Bridal Veil, and Horseshoe Falls produce nearly 2.5 million kilowatts of electricity through hydroelectric plants. Popular activities at Niagara Falls include tours like Maid of the Mist and Cave of the Wind, as well as attractions like the Skylon Tower, Rainbow Bridge, and Botanical Garden.

Pumpkins are a popular Halloween decoration that are often carved and used to make foods. Americans purchase nearly 600 million pounds of candy and spend about $7 billion total for Halloween celebrations each year, with $300 million spent on costumes for pets. Halloween originated from a Scottish and Irish tradition where children wore costumes and went door-to-door collecting food, and it is now commonly celebrated with trick-or-treating by 36 million children in the US.

Most h aunted and creepy places around the gloab
Prypiat, Ukraine was once home to 50,000 people who worked at the nearby Chernobyl nuclear power plant. In 1986, a reactor malfunction caused an evacuation and since then the abandoned city has deteriorated, with trees and plants overtaking empty buildings. The Sedlec Ossuary in the Czech Republic is decorated with the skeletons of between 40,000 and 70,000 people arranged artistically. The Aokigahara Forest in Japan is a site where over 1,500 people have committed suicide since the 1950s, with their remains and hanging ropes still scattered throughout the dense woods.
The mystery of loch ness
Legends of a monster called "Nessie" have existed since the 6th century in Loch Ness, Scotland. Modern reports began in 1933 when a couple witnessed a large unknown creature disturbing the water. Over subsequent years, more sightings were reported and photos emerged purportedly showing a large creature with a long neck and humps. While some believe Nessie is a prehistoric creature isolated in the loch, others have theorized it could actually be a swimming elephant that escaped from a traveling circus. The popularity of the monster grew significantly after the 1933 sighting and road improvements made the loch more accessible to tourists.

Lone womanarticle
Archaeologists were excavating a cave on San Nicolas Island believed to have been inhabited by the Lone Woman of San Nicolas. They had removed 40,000 buckets of sand over many months. However, the dig was stopped abruptly when concerns were raised that it was not being conducted legally. A film student, Tom Holm, had brought members of the Pechanga Native American tribe to visit the site, and the tribe subsequently demanded that all archaeological research on the island be halted. This interrupted efforts to learn more about the mysterious woman and understand her story, which inspired the novel Island of the Blue Dolphins. The cave remains closed and its secrets undisclosed.
The Loch Ness Monster
The document discusses the legend of the Loch Ness Monster, known as Nessie, which is alleged to live in Loch Ness in Scotland. Loch Ness is the largest body of fresh water in Great Britain, reaching depths of nearly 800 feet. Eyewitness accounts of a creature in Loch Ness date back to the 6th century AD, though numerous scientific expeditions have failed to find conclusive evidence of its existence. The legend grew in popularity in the 1930s after a famous photo was published, though it was later revealed to be a hoax. Sightings and expeditions using sonar have continued into modern times, keeping interest alive though nothing definitive has been proven. The Loch

Copia Di Comenius I Homo Aeserniensis
Archaeologists discovered evidence of early humans living in the Isernia "La Pineta" camp in Italy around 730,000 years ago. Remains found at the site indicate that the Homo erectus or Homo heidelbergensis inhabitants hunted animals like bison and rhinoceros, and scavenged carcasses for meat. They lived seasonally in the area, which was suitable for grazing animals during times of plentiful vegetation and water sources. The inhabitants discarded animal bone remnants and tools in a nearby watercourse to prevent the smell of decay.

Archaeologists discovered evidence of early humans living in the Isernia "La Pineta" camp in Italy around 730,000 years ago. Remains found at the site indicate the humans hunted and scavenged local animal populations like bison, rhinoceros, and elephant. They likely lived in the area seasonally when vegetation and water were abundant, and disposed of animal bones and remains in a nearby watercourse to prevent rotting. While no human remains were found, artifacts suggest the inhabitants were Homo erectus or Homo heidelbergensis that utilized simple stone tools and exploited nearby resources for survival.

Wild life ppt by kalal soham
The document discusses several species that have gone extinct due to human activity and environmental changes. It describes how the passenger pigeon population was hunted to extinction in the early 20th century after Europeans arrived in North America. It also mentions other species that were driven to extinction in just a few decades by hunting and habitat loss, including the dodo bird, northern white rhino, and Pyrenean ibex. Several other extinct species are briefly outlined, such as the quagga, Tasmanian tiger, Steller's sea cow, and great auk, which were all impacted by hunting and human encroachment on their environments.
The Sixth Extinction_ An Unnatural History.pdf
This chapter introduces the extinction of the Panamanian golden frog (Atelopus zeteki) as an example of the current mass extinction event known as the Sixth Extinction. Golden frogs were once abundant near El Valle de Antón, Panama, but mysteriously disappeared starting in the late 1990s. Their disappearance spread rapidly through the rainforests of Panama, and by the mid-2000s they were nearly extinct in the wild. Biologists concluded the golden frog was in grave danger and attempted to preserve a remnant population, but the threat moved too quickly. The extinction of the golden frog serves as a harbinger of the widespread biodiversity losses occurring globally.
Early humans ppt
Hominids first appeared around 3 million years ago in Africa. Early humans like Lucy were small hominids that walked upright unlike apes. Later groups like Homo habilis could make stone tools. Homo erectus controlled fire which allowed them to cook food and expand their range out of Africa. Neanderthals and Cro-Magnon man were skilled hunters and tool makers that populated Europe and beyond. Cro-Magnon man are notable for their cave paintings found in places like Lascaux, France, though the purpose of these paintings remains a mystery.

Rubric Presentation2
This document discusses rubrics, including their origins, purpose, and best practices for creation and use. Some key points:
- Rubrics originated from the red writing or directions used in religious services in the 1400s. They are now used to assess student work against consistent criteria.
- Well-designed rubrics increase the validity and reliability of assessments by aligning criteria to standards and allowing for objective, consistent evaluation. They also provide students with specific feedback.
- When creating rubrics, educators should determine the essential criteria to assess, define different performance levels clearly, and ensure the rubric reflects the full range of student ability. Rubrics should be discussed with students and aligned to instruction.
