Uganda is a landlocked country located in East-Central Africa. Some key facts:
- It has been inhabited for thousands of years, with Bantu peoples migrating there around 500 BC. Arab traders and British explorers arrived in the 1840s and 1860s, respectively.
- Uganda has a varied landscape, with many lakes and swamplands. Lake Victoria forms much of its southwestern border.
- The population depends heavily on the land and water for livelihoods like farming and collecting drinking water. Economic activities include exporting coffee.
- Kampala is the capital city. The country is divided into many districts, and native tribes still speak their own languages though English is becoming more common.

Hawaii (i/həˈwaɪ.iː/ or /həˈwaɪʔiː/; Hawaiian: Hawaiʻi Hawaiian pronunciation: [hɐˈvɐiʔi]) is the most recent of the 50 U.S. states (joined the Union on August 21, 1959), and is the only U.S. state made up entirely of islands. It is the northernmost island group in Polynesia, occupying most of an archipelago in the central Pacific Ocean.
Hawaii’s diverse natural scenery, warm tropical climate, abundance of public beaches, oceanic surroundings, and active volcanoes make it a popular destination for tourists, surfers, biologists, and volcanologists alike. Due to its mid-Pacific location, Hawaii has many North American and Asian influences along with its own vibrant native culture. Hawaii has over a million permanent residents along with many visitors and U.S. military personnel. Its capital is Honolulu on the island of Oʻahu.
The state encompasses nearly the entire volcanic Hawaiian Island chain, which comprises hundreds of islands spread over 1,500 miles (2,400 km). At the southeastern end of the archipelago, the eight "main islands" are (from the northwest to southeast) Niʻihau, Kauaʻi, Oʻahu, Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi, Kahoʻolawe, Maui and the island of Hawaiʻi. The last is the largest and is often called "The Big Island" to avoid confusion with the state as a whole. The archipelago is physiographically and ethnologically part of the Polynesian subregion of Oceania.
Hawaii is the 8th-least extensive, the 11th-least populous, but the 13th-most densely populated of the 50 U.S. states. Hawaii's ocean coastline is approximately 750 miles (1,210 km) long, which is fourth in the United States after those of Alaska, Florida and California.
Hawaii is one of two states that do not observe daylight saving time, the other being Arizona. It is also one of two states that are not in the Contiguous United States; the other is Alaska. Hawaii is the only state with an Asian plurality.

Kenya - Best Business Opportunities, Identification and Selection of right Pr...Ajjay Kumar Gupta
INTRODUCTION
Kenya is a country in Africa and a founding member of the East African Community (EAC). Its capital and largest city is Nairobi. Kenya is a beautiful country, with stunning beaches and a large number of wildlife parks and reserves. Visitors also come to experience the unique cultures of Kenya's people. Kenya is one of the most popular travel destinations in Africa, largely due to its naturally beautiful landscape and wildlife. The capital, Nairobi, is a regional commercial hub. The economy of Kenya is the largest by GDP in East and Central Africa. Agriculture is a major employer; the country traditionally exports tea and coffee and has more recently begun to export fresh flowers to Europe. The service industry is also a major economic driver.
To what extent is Uganda a Developing country?
In 1965 Uganda and South Korea were at about the same point on the developing nation scale, yet today South Korea is a strong, industrial nation, while Uganda is poverty-stricken and poor. I am going find why and how Uganda is such a poor country, This presentation looks specifically at the education and the healthcare in Uganda.

2 Chapter 1: The Azande
� T HE B EGINNING
There are those who can set broken bones. Only they, and people healed by
them, can do this. The fi rst of them long ago fathered a child, and the child had
no arms and no legs. He was round, like a cooking pot. People saw him and
knew he was a child of Mbori, the supreme being. The ancestor had a dream.
In the dream he was told to burn the child, and this he did. He was told to take
the child’s ashes and mix them with oil; this he could use to heal broken limbs.
The ancestor did all he was told to do. He used the ashes of the child born
with no limbs and created the clan of those who can heal the broken limbs of
others.
� I NTRODUCTION AND H ISTORY
The Azande people live in a large area in the center of Africa, in the southwestern
Sudan, north of Zaire and to the east of the Central African Republic. Sudan
is Africa’s largest country, measuring roughly a quarter the size of the United
States. This is an area of rolling hills with abundant rivers and streams. On the
banks of the waters grow tall trees, which provide shade in which to build home-
steads. However, Azande fell victim to sleeping sickness spread by the tse-tse fl y,
which breeds in thick bush. Sudanese authorities, concerned about this exposure,
forced them to relocate to concentrated settlements near roads. (The closeness of
the houses in these new settlements was especially problematic. Formerly, struc-
tures along the riverbanks could be spread far apart; this was preferable to the
Azande, who feared neighbors’ potential witchcraft, which was only effective at
close range.)
The peoples known collectively as the Azande are a melding together of
what were separate clans in the past. In earliest times, the clans who lived along
the banks of the waters were autonomous local groups. Clan disputes were set-
tled within the families of which they were composed. Disputes between clans
were settled by elders from each. Zande history tells of a single individual who,
through his wisdom and kindness, gained power within his own clan, the Avon-
gara. Soon, under his able leadership, it became the dominant group. Moving
eastward along the riverbanks, the Avongara conquered more than 50 other
clans and eventually amalgamated into one Zande group. The history of the are ...

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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. Introduction:
Uganda is a little nation in focal Africa and a lot of its region is
comprised of Lake Victoria. Around 500 B.C. Bantu talking individuals
relocated to Uganda. Bedouin dealers landed in Uganda during the
1840s, while English travelers began touching base in 1862. In 1894
Uganda turned into an English Protectorate. The nation is known for
rich mineral stores.
https://www.sahistory.org.za/place/uganda
3. Location
Location is an important aspect of
the five themes of Geography,
because it helps the audience situate
the place or nation. Uganda is
located in the Southern and Eastern
hemisphere, and located in the
continent of Africa. It is surrounded
by land, and has no access via ocean.
The neighbouring nations are Kenya,
South Sudan, Rwanda, Tanzania, etc.
4. Place
The place or physical features of
Uganda are also of great
importance. Uganda is situated in
the Nile basin, and there are
multiple lakes and water bodies in
the nation. Another important
feature of the nation is its vast
amount of swamp land. The people
in Uganda depend on the land to a
great extent for their living.
5. Human
Environment
Interaction
As described before, the people in Uganda are
dependent on the environment to a great extent,
as livelihood mostly depend on farming or other
land based activities. The drinking water of most
of the population are also collected from the lakes
or the rivers (Museveni, n.d.).
6. Movement
Movement can include the
movement of anything: goods,
services, thoughts, ideas, etc.
Uganda is famous for its export of
coffee, which is highly in demand.
The imports of the nations are
basic necessities like steel,
medicine, or fuel. The
development of Uganda is now
being influenced by other first
world countries, in as much that
cities and buildings of the same
nature can be observed.
7. Region
Region provides some general
information about the area in
question. Uganda is comprised of
many districts, and the capital city
is Kampala. Much of the population
consists of the native tribes. The
tribal languages are still commonly
used for communication, with
English rapidly gaining popularity.
9. I would like to thank everyone for
reviewing my presentation on Uganda.
And , I enjoyed working with everyone
during my 7 week experience. Wishing
everyone much success in continuing your
education.
