A university () is an institution of higher (or tertiary) education and research which awards academic degrees in several academic disciplines. Universities typically offer both undergraduate and postgraduate programs. In the United States, the designation is reserved for colleges that have a graduate school. The word ''university'' is derived from the Latin ''universitas magistrorum et scholarium'', which roughly means "community of teachers and scholars". The first universities were created in Europe by Catholic Church monks.

Dinizia
''Dinizia'' is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It was believed to be monotypic until 2017, when '' Dinizia jueirana-facao'' was described. ''Dinizia'' is native to Brazil ( North Region and Central-West Region), Guyana and Suriname. Both species are colossal forest trees. Fossilised leaves and fruit discovered in North America provide evidence of a ''Dinizia''-like ancestor that first occurred in south-eastern North America during the Eocene epoch. The modern genus, however, is confined to South America, where it occurs in non-flooded parts of the Amazonian forests of Guyana, Suriname and seven states of North and Central-West Brazil. Species , ''Plants of the World Online'' has accepted two species: *''Dinizia excelsa ''Dinizia excelsa'' is a South American canopy- emergent tropical rainforest tree species in the family Fabaceae, native to primarily Brazil and Guyana.

Coca-Cola
Coca-Cola, or Coke, is a carbonated soft drink manufactured by the Coca-Cola Company. Originally marketed as a temperance drink and intended as a patent medicine, it was invented in the late 19th century by John Stith Pemberton in Atlanta, Georgia. In 1888, Pemberton sold Coca-Cola's ownership rights to Asa Griggs Candler, a businessman, whose marketing tactics led Coca-Cola to its dominance of the global soft-drink market throughout the 20th and 21st century. The drink's name refers to two of its original ingredients: coca leaves and kola nuts (a source of caffeine). The current formula of Coca-Cola remains a closely guarded trade secret; however, a variety of reported recipes and experimental recreations have been published. The secrecy around the formula has been used by Coca-Cola in its marketing as only a handful of anonymous employees know the formula. The drink has inspired imitators and created a whole classification of soft drink: colas. The Coca-Cola Company p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
