Sylvia McLaughlin (December 24, 1916 – January 19, 2016) was an American environmental activist. Sylvia McLaughlin was best known for beginning and helping the movement to save the San Francisco Bay.

Life
McLaughlin was born in Denver, Colorado. George E. Cranmer and Jean Chappell Cranmer were her parents. She grew up in an area with an interesting environment. She left Denver and went to Vassar College in New York.

She returned to Denver and married Donald H. McLaughlin. Soon enough, the couple moved to Berkeley, California. They started a family in California. When Sylvia saw the environment she lived she got mad. Pollution was ruining the Bay. This inspired McLaughlin to start Save the Bay with two other women in 1961. Save the Bay gathered together many other passionate activists and stopped 2,000 acres of land in the Berkeley bay from being filled with cement. For almost forty years, Sylvia remained on the Save the Bay board. She also joined many other environment focused boards.
Her work helped people learn about the environment of the bay and how to better protect it. Because of McLaughlin, California is still very careful about maintaining the bay’s healthy habitat and creating laws to further protect it.

After many years of hard work, Sylvia McLaughlin passed at age 99. We thank her for saving our bay and inspiring many younger generations to follow in her footsteps.

Bhupathy's purple frog (Nasikabatrachus bhupathi) is a frog species belonging to the family Sooglossidae. It lives in the Western Ghat mountains in India.  It is a purple cave frog that lives underground almost all the time.

Bodies
Many species of frog dig underground a little, but Bhupathy's purple frogs live undergound almost all the time.  They have front limbs shaped like shovels for digging and long noses so they can stick their tongues aboveground and lick the surface to catch ants to eat.  They do not have shoot-and-pull-back tongues like other frogs. 

Adult frogs have purple skins and a thin blue ring around each eye.

The frog has one close relative, the purple frog, N. sahyadrensis, which was first found in the Western Ghats in 2003.

Life cycle
The tadpoles do not swim in ponds or streams.  Instead, they grab the stones behind waterfalls, where they spend six months eating algae. Young frogs, called imagos, have brown skin. They turn purple when they are adults.
Adult frogs only come aboveground when the rain falls at the beginning of the northeast monsoon season, when they find mates.

Discovery
Scientists from Hyderabad's Center for Cellular and Molecular Biology discovered the frog in 2017.  They named the frog after scientist Dr. Subramaniam Bhupathy, who died in the Western Ghat Mountains in 2014.  They wrote about N. bhupathi in Alytes, the official magazine of the International Society for the Study and Conservation of Amphibians.  They found N. bhupathi by listening for frog sounds coming up from underground.

"This frog lineage is very ancient, and has a very low diversity, so this finding is very special and unusual," said Elizabeth Prendini of the American Museum of Natural History, who helped write the scientific paper about the discovery.

The scientists did not to say exactly where they found the sample frogs because it was on private property.
This discovery was paid for by the Indian government in a project to sample the DNA of every frog in the country.

Other ideas
Some scientists said that because N. bhupathy, which lives in India, has close relatives in the Seychelles, which are close to Africa, it is likely that the Gondwanaland idea of why the continents are where they are is right.  This idea says that Africa and India used to be one large continent, called Gondwanaland.

This reservoir was created on top of the town of Stout. Stout was a small town with a population of 47 1/2. This town had a sandstone mine, and had a railroad that went through it. This town turned into a gost town and horsetooth reservoir was build on top of it. To this day when the water is low enough visitors can still see the buildings where Stout used to be. Horsetooth reservoirs damn began being built in 1949. In 1954, the water was used for farms until the 1970 and then only 80 percent of the water was used for farms. In the 1990's just a little over half of the water supply was used for farms and the other half was used for drinking and hydropower. This reservoir was the largest created during the Colorado-Big Thompson project. Building was finished in 1949 and water first entered the reservoir in 1951. Horsetooth was given its name because of an Arapaho legand that on the west side of the reservoir at the top of a mountain
. There is a rock that Natives thought looked like a giant's heart and then later decided that it looked more like a horse's tooth.
