The Republic of Sierra Leone is an African nation with a population of around 5 million people and a capital of Freetown. The official language is English and the currency is the Leone. Some key facts about Sierra Leone include that it has an area of around 70,000 square kilometers, was discovered by the Portuguese in 1462 and populated by Portuguese settlers, and was occupied by freed slaves under British rule until gaining full independence in 1968.
This document discusses three timeline creation websites - Timetoast, Meograph, and Myhistro - that could be useful tools for students. It provides examples of how each site works and their benefits for organizing information visually and allowing students to learn about historical events and each other. Specific features are described, such as clicking on events for more details on Myhistro, and generating video timelines from entered dates on Meograph. Overall, the document recommends these online timeline tools for aiding students in organizing important dates and staying engaged on educational topics.
Taxonomy is the science of classifying living things. Taxonomists give scientific names to species that reveal how they are related to one another, helping us understand biodiversity. While scientists estimate there are 30 million species on Earth, taxonomists have only identified and named about 1.7 million so far. Taxonomists' work produces identification tools that help conservationists understand and protect biodiversity. The Global Taxonomy Initiative addresses the shortage of taxonomists around the world.
The French scientific advances in anatomy, physiology, and optics enabled a new era of taxonomy to develop systems to classify the increasing number of known species. Several French scientists emerged who criticized Linnaeus' artificial system and developed natural systems of classification, including Buffon who described species development, Adanson who advocated using many characters, and Jussieu who divided plants into groups like acotyledons and dicotyledons and established family ranks, laying the foundation for modern classification. Lamarck further proposed one of the first evolutionary theories including inheritance of acquired characters, presaging Darwin and Wallace's theory of evolution.
This document discusses the history of phylogenetics from early evolutionary trees to modern phylogenetic analysis methods. It describes how Willi Hennig established cladistics in 1966, using shared derived characteristics to classify species. Cladistics was controversial but became established over 20 years. The development of PCR and computer programs in the 1980s allowed cladistics to analyze large DNA datasets and become the standard approach in systematics.
One of the first attempts to establish rules for botanical taxonomy was made by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle in 1813, stating that published names should have priority by date. However, the English did not follow this rule until adopting rules established by Alphons de Candolle in 1867. In response to nomenclatural issues caused by Kuntze, botanists established the first International Code of Botanical Nomenclature in 1905, setting 1753 as the starting point for name priority, the year of Linnaeus' Species Plantarum. The first zoological nomenclature laws were established by Hugh Edwin Strickland in 1842.
This document outlines a webquest for students to research and teach others about the water cycle. It provides 5 steps for students to follow: 1) researching precipitation, 2) collection, 3) evaporation, 4) condensation, and 5) creating a project to teach others such as a story, diagram, or model. Students are directed to various websites to learn about each step and take notes. The document concludes by thanking the sources used to create the webquest.
Theophrastus and Dioscorides were two early writers on herbalism. Theophrastus, a student of Aristotle and Plato, wrote one of the earliest classifications of plants. Dioscorides, a Greek physician, wrote De Materia Medica between 50-70 AD which described around 600 plant species and their medical uses. Herbal medicine, also called botanical or phytomedicine, refers to using plants for medicinal purposes and has a long tradition outside conventional medicine. Herbalism can treat many conditions and its main benefit is boosting energy and strengthening internal organ functions.

This document discusses different types of synonymy:
1. Near synonymy, where expressions are similar but not identical in meaning. Examples given are mist-fog and stream-brook.
2. Partial synonymy, where expressions match in identity of meaning but fail to meet conditions of absolute synonymy. The example given is car-vehicle.
3. Absolute (perfect, complete) synonymy, where words match in all shades of meaning and stylistic characteristics. Examples given are airman-pilot and car-automobile. Absolute synonyms are rare for lexemes but more common for composite expressions.
The document discusses the different types of muscles in the body, including voluntary muscles that are attached to the skeleton and can be controlled to enable movement, and involuntary muscles like the heart that work internal organs automatically. It provides details on muscle fiber types, how muscles contract and create movement through antagonistic pairs, and the benefits of good muscle tone for posture, performance, and confidence.
The document discusses the early history of taxonomy from ancient civilizations like China, Egypt, and Greece. It notes that the earliest traces of taxonomy come from Shen Nung, an emperor of China from around 3000 BC who introduced herbal medicine and acupuncture. It then outlines several ancient Greek and Roman figures like Aristotle, Theophrastus, Dioscorides, and Plinius who made important contributions to early plant classification systems between 400 BC to 79 AD by grouping species based on characteristics like growth form and medicinal properties. Their work helped establish foundations for modern plant taxonomy.
This document discusses fibro-osseous lesions, which replace normal bone with fibrous tissue containing newly formed mineralized structures. It describes several types of fibro-osseous lesions including fibrous dysplasia, cemento-osseous dysplasias like periapical cemental dysplasia, and fibro-osseous neoplasms like ossifying fibroma. For each type, it covers definitions, clinical features, radiographic appearances, differential diagnosis, and treatment approaches.

The historical past of Equestrian sports activities date back to when the Greeks launched
Dressage training, to prepare their horses for battle. The sport continued to develop as
military workouts Top Five horse Myths through the Middle Ages, with Dressage, Cross
Country and Show Jumping tests - designed to replicate the scope of challenges horses
confronted in the military. Two competitions run on the identical time - the Team medals are
decided in a single round and the Individual medals over three rounds. In each round the
riders need to perform a Dressage Test, made up of a series of movements to be performed
by the horse.
In describing an equestrian look, it is worthwhile to look at coats/jackets to create the look,
and keep in mind the pea jacket, the navy jacket look too, in addition to the actual riding coat
look with a conservative lapel and collar going to hip size. And perhaps one can create an
equestrian look with leather-based ! One can have a leather-based glam jacket with cropped
twill pants, i.e. cropped pants inspired from jodhpurs. One needs an acceptable fabric ie.
Twill. Corduroy is probably appropriate but certainly a cavalry twill.
Area farms and stables provide day camp classes in 1 and 2 week intervals allowing the
choice for parents to register youngsters for a number of sessions. The average Comparison
of Available horse camp day runs from about 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. with extended day options
offered by camps comparable to Happy Hooves Equestrian Day Camp. Pompositticut and
different equestrian camps in Massachusetts present each day opportunities for activities like
archery, rope challenges, swimming, sports, dance and theater. Specialty classes are
provided in blacksmith care and barn administration. The summer time equestrian camps in
Massachusetts are designed to be small in size, thus allowing for a strong counselor to
camper ratio.
