At ancient Greek sports festivals it was the custom to give ribbons to winning athletes. Later, at the awards' ceremony, the athlete received a wreath of leaves such as olive, laurel or wild celery leaves, depending on the festival. The identity of the athlete and the event he won are not known. Athletes are selected by their respective NOCs, who are responsible for supporting them and entering them for the Games. The IOC sends out invitation letters to all NOCs one year before the Opening Ceremony and those NOCS then submit entries for the Games who are then approved or otherwise by the IOC. They got The Olympic Order award for winning.

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

The app Stack The States and game "Map it" is good for memorizing states, memorizing capitals I recomend flashcards or learn to associate capital names to somthing that reminds you of the state, division is how many times a number can go into another number (try flashcards), multiplication use flashcards as well, fractions are another way to write out division 1/3 is one third of one so add 2/3 to equal 1, decimals create small numbers and are used in division and multiplication sometimes, grammar there are a lot of rules so just pay attention to who is teaching and try reading books and seeing how sentences are made, vocab use flashcards or associate words to key parts of their definition

Had the Declaration of Independence never been drafted i believe that the United States of America would still be under Britains thumb. This being said one can assume that the tax policies would be severely different as they would change with each monarch, but yes taxation without representation and over taxation would still be a problem.

I hope that answered the question the specific 'Problems' weren't outlined so i i assumed you were referring to the problem of Taxation
