The Manica province is divided into nine districts and 34 administrative regions. History The province was located in the old Manica kingdom which probably existed since medieval times and existed until the 19th century. Several larger towns in the region were founded before the Portuguese arrival. Later it came under Portuguese influence. The territory of the current province was part of the grant of the Mozambique Company, established in 1891.

Lepidoptera Genitalia
The study of the genitalia of Lepidoptera is important for Lepidoptera taxonomy in addition to development, anatomy and natural history. The genitalia are complex and provide the basis for species discrimination in most families and also in family identification. The genitalia are attached onto the tenth or most distal segment of the abdomen. Lepidoptera have some of the most complex genital structures in the insect groups with a wide variety of complex spines, setae, scales and tufts in males, claspers of different shapes and different modifications of the ductus bursae in females. The arrangement of genitalia is important in the courtship and mating as they prevent cross-specific mating and hybridisation. The uniqueness of genitalia of a species led to the use of the morphological study of genitalia as one of the most important keys in taxonomic identification of taxa below family level. With the advent of DNA analysis, the study of genitalia has now become just one of the tec ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Manica (armguard)
A ''manica'' (; ; ) was a type of iron or copper-alloy laminated arm guard with curved, overlapping metal segments or plates fastened to leather straps worn by ancient and Late antiquity, late antique heavy cavalry, infantry, and Gladiator, gladiators. It is most widely associated with use by the Roman Empire, Romans, Parthia, Parthians, and Achaemenid Empire, Achaemenid and Sasanian Empire, Sasanian Persians. Terminology The term ''manica'' is only used once to refer to arm armor, where Juvenal mentions the armor of a Gladiator as "...''balteus et manicae et cristae crurisque sinistri dimidium tegimen''!" ("...strap and arm-guards and crests and half-covering of the left leg.") In Greek, Xenophon gives the terms ''χειρῖδας'' (''kheiridas'') and ''χεῖρα (kheira'') in the Cyropaedia and his "On Cavalry," both of which describe the armor as covering from the shoulder to the hand as a complete sleeve.

HMS Manica
HMS ''Manica'' was a merchant steamship that was built in England in 1901 and was scrapped in Japan in 1931. She was built as a dry cargo ship but spent the latter part of her career as an oil tanker. She is most notable for her service in the First World War. In 1915 she was converted into the Royal Navy's first kite balloon ship. Later in the war the Navy had her converted into an oiler. The Admiralty sold her back into civilian service in 1920. She was renamed ''Huntball'' in 1917 and ''Phorus'' in 1920. Her original owner was Bucknall Steamship Lines Ltd, which in 1914 became part of Ellerman Lines and was renamed Ellerman & Bucknall. After the First World War she was owned by Anglo-Saxon Petroleum, which is part of Royal Dutch Shell. Building In 1900 and 1901 Bucknall Steamship Lines Ltd took delivery of a set of four new sister ships from two shipbuilders in North East England. In 1900 Sir James Laing & Sons Ltd at Sunderland on the River Wear launched ''Manica'' on 25 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
