In early Philippine history the Barangay was a complex sociopolitical unit which scholars have historically considered the dominant organizational pattern among the various peoples of the Philippine archipelago. These sociopolitical units were sometimes also referred to as Barangay states but are more properly referred to using the technical term "polity" They are usually simply called "barangays" Evidence suggests a considerable degree of independence as city states ruled by Datus Rajahs and Sultans. Early chroniclers record that the name evolved from the term balangay which refers to a plank boat widely used by various cultures of the Philippine archipelago prior to the arrival of European colonizers.

A related term "climatic change" was proposed by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) in 1966 to encompass all forms of climatic variability on time-scales longer than 10 years but regardless of cause During the 1970s the term climate change replaced climatic change to focus on anthropogenic causes as it became clear that human activities had a potential to drastically alter the climate. Climate change was incorporated in the title of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Climate change is now used as both a technical description of the process as well as a noun used to describe the problem. 5 Ranking results 5.2 Dewan Rakyat (House of Representatives), Music 6.1 Demographic profile PISA never combines mathematics science and reading domain scores into an overall score However commentators have sometimes combined test results from all three domains into an overall country ranking Such meta-analysis is not endorsed by the OECD although official summaries sometimes use scores from a testing cycle's principal domain as a proxy for overall student ability. . The ninth-century Persian astronomer Abu Ma?shar presents Ptolemy as a member of Egypt's royal lineage stating that the descendants of Alexander's general Ptolemy I who ruled Egypt were wise "and included Ptolemy the Wise who composed the book of the Almagest" Abu Ma?shar recorded a belief that a different member of this royal line "composed the book on astrology and attributed it to Ptolemy" We can evidence historical confusion on this point from Abu Ma?shar's subsequent remark "It is sometimes said that the very learned man who wrote the book of astrology also wrote the book of the Almagest The correct answer is not known." There is little evidence on the subject of Ptolemy's ancestry apart from what can be drawn from the details of his name (see above); however modern scholars refer to Abu Ma?shar's account as erroneous and it is no longer doubted that the astronomer who wrote the Almagest also wrote the Tetrabiblos as its astrological counterpart.
