New Zealand Forest Industries 22(8):89-92. \n \n         An account of the industry based on Portugal's "national \n    tree", the cork oak.  \n \n36\nWOOD-USING INDUSTRIES\n\ntry this site: http://forestry.lib.umn.edu/bib/SSiF/dat/36/4_91/Tapping%20to%20life:%20The%20forest%20industry%20of%20Portugal.%20\n\nI hope this helps...\n\nDon

I guess you mean The Republic Cape Verde or in Portuguese--Cabo Verde.  For more details on Portuguese colonization please refer to Wikipedia--Cape Verde. Good Luck!

There are about 200 genera of palm trees (Arecaceae or Palmae) and approx 2,500 species (with complicated taxonomy). Identification of species is not simple, and it won't be easy to find a dichotomous key for _all_ the palm trees. If you're interested in general knowledge, try some specialized books. If you want to identify specimens, you should look for a local key for your area. \nSee the FAO site at the link, it could be a start :)

From the Roman family name Marinus, which derives either from the name MARIUS or from the Latin word marinus "of the sea".\n\nLatinate form of MARY. This was the name of several queens of Portugal. It was also borne by the 18th-century Habsburg queen Maria Theresa, whose inheritance of the domains of her father, the Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI, began the War of the Austrian Succession.

In Portugal the national day isn't the independence day. The Portugal day is June 10th, which "celebrates" the death of the greatest poet in portuguese history, Luís de Camões, in 1580 - actually, the same year when Portugal lost its independence to Spain. Then the day when independence was restored, 1st December 1640, is also celebrated and called "the day of the independence restoration".\n\nThat said, there isn't much more to say. Neither of them are days when people drink and party. They are just holidays, which means they are like Sundays. You don't have to work so you can stay home and rest or go out with your family and friends or something. There are no great celebrations, fireworks or anything. The only people who actually celebrate it are the military and important political leaders like the President, who delivers a speech. The flag is displayed and the anthem is performed by the military band and it is all on tv, in the morning, but most people is sleeping. Nobody actually cares.\n\nI don't know how it works in other countries, but according to movies and tv shows in USA there are only a few holidays and most of them are heavily celebrated, like 4th of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas. In Portugal it's not like that. We have 4 political holidays and 7 religious holidays, plus New Year's, Carnival and Labour day. The only ones that we actually celebrate are New Year's, Carnival, Easter and Christmas. All the others are like Sundays, just a day when we don't have to work.\n\nThose are national holidays only; then each town has its own local holiday on the day of the patron saint, and at least here in Porto that is the day when we do drink and party hard. Our saint is St. John. Although religious in origin, it is not celebrated as a religious holiday anymore, it's just great fun on the streets all night long. In other cities they celebrate other saints, like St. Anthony in Lisbon, but I'm not sure what they do.\n\nJune 10th is officially called "Day of Portugal, Camões and the portuguese communities", and large portuguese communities in foreign countries do celebrate it. I've seen it on tv, they go on the streets wearing the national colours, display flags, play portuguese folk music, eat and drink portuguese typical food and wine. It's probably a day when they feel closer to their home country.
