The green and golden bell frog (Litoria aurea) is a frog from Australia, but it also lives in New Zealand as an invasive specie.

Male adult frogs can be 5.7 to 6.9 cm long.  Female adult frogs can be 6.5 to 10.8 cm long.  These frogs are green with bronze spots. They have black stripes from their noses over their ears and down their bodies.  Their bellies are white and parts of their legs can be bright blue.  These frogs have teeth.

Green and golden bell frogs do not climb well.  They like to live near permanent bodies of water and temporary bodies of water that have no fish in them.  Adult frogs eat anything they can, even other green and golden bell frogs.

The frogs lay 3000-10,000 eggs at a time. At first, the eggs float together on top of the water, but then they sink.  The tadpoles eat algae, bacteria and dead things.
There used to be so many green and golden bell frogs that people would catch them to feed to snakes or to use in school dissection classes.  By the 1990s, there were fewer green and golden bell frogs.  Scientists say this is because of habitat fragmentation, which means people building things in between places where the frogs live, and because of invasive species such as the mosquito fish that eat green and golden bell frog tadpoles.

In 2000, people building tennis courts for the 2000 Summer Olympics saw green and golden bell frogs nearby, so they stopped building.

This frog is an invasive specie in New Zealand.  In the 1860s, the Auckland Acclimatisation Society released the frog in New Zealand on purpose.  The frogs on the South Island all died because the weather was not good for them.  Today, it lives on New Zealand's North Island.

The letters Š and Ž, which are only used in borrowed words, are almost never used and not a part of the Finnish alphabet. Instead, they are seen as different forms of S and Z.

The letter G only occurs in original Finnish words in the combination NG, not by itself. The letters B, C and F only occur in newly borrowed words, and thus used to not be part of the Finnish alphabaet until recent times. The letters Q, W, X, Z and Å, along with the Š and Ž, are only used in borrowed words from different languages and are almost absent in Finnish.

Waterford Crystal is a company which makes crystal glass in the city of Waterford, Ireland. The brand is owned by the Fiskars Group Ltd. The company was started in 1947 in Waterford.

In January 2009, the main Waterford Crystal base was closed due to the lack of funds of Waterford Wedgwood PLC. In June 2010, Waterford Crystal relocated to The Mall in Waterford city centre and the business restarted. This new location is now home to a factory that melts over 750 tons of crystal a year, although most Waterford Crystal is now produced outside Ireland. This new facility offers visitors the opportunity to take guided tours of the factory and also offers a retail store, showcasing the world's largest collection of Waterford Crystal.

History
History

Early crystal production
The first crystal glass production in Waterford dates back to 1783 when George Penrose and his nephew William Penrose started their business. It produced very fine flint glass that became world famous. Their Waterford company closed in 1851, and re-opened 100 years later.

Foundation of 1947
In 1947, Czech immigrant Charles Bacik, grandfather of Irish senator Ivana Bacik, established a glassworks in the city. Skilled crystal glass workers were not available in Ireland so continental Europeans were used. Assisted by fellow countryman and designer Miroslav Havel, the company started operations in a depressed Ireland. By the early 1950s it had been taken over as a subsidiary of the Irish Glass Bottle company, owned by Joseph McGrath (Irish politician), Richard Duggan and Spencer Freeman of the Irish Hospitals' Sweepstake, who were heavy investors in Irish business at that time.

In 1970 John Aynsley and Sons was taken over by Waterford and renamed Aynsley China Ltd.
In 1987 the company merged with Josiah Wedgwood and Sons Ltd. The new company was called Waterford Wedgwood plc.

1990s onward
Jasper Conran began designing his signature range of crystal for Waterford in 1999. The endeavour has evolved into four unique lines for Waterford and a complementary tableware collection in fine bone china for Wedgwood in 2001. The Chinese fashion designer John Rocha started designing a range of cut crystal stemware and vases in collaboration with glass designer Marcus Notley in 2001.

Acquisition by Fiskars
On 11 May 2015 in a deal that happened in July 2015, the Fiskars Corporation, a Finnish maker of products for the home, agreed to buy 100% of the holdings of WWRD.  On 2 July 2015 the purchase of WWRD by Fiskars Corporation was completed including brands Waterford, Wedgwood, Royal Doulton, Royal Albert, and Rogaška.  This was approved by the US antitrust authorities.

Most Waterford crystal glass is now produced outside Ireland in countries such as Slovenia, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Germany.  Waterford produces many patterns of lead crystal glass stemware, including lines such as Adare, Alana, Colleen, Kincora, Lismore, Maeve, Tramore, and many others.

In 1966 Waterford's chandeliers were installed in Westminster Abbey, London, England for the 900th anniversary of the dedication of the abbey after Christoper Hildyard, a minor canon of the abbey for 45 years, convinced the Guinness family to pay for them. Chandeliers hang in other notable buildings, such as Windsor Castle, and the Kennedy Center, Washington, D.C. Waterford Crystal made the 2,688 crystals for the famous New Year's Eve Ball that is dropped each year in New York City's Times Square. The ball is an  geodesic orb,  in diameter and is lit by 32,256 Lumileds Luxeon Rebel LEDs.
One of the most popular products in their collection is the "Apprentice Bowl". It requires 600 precision cuts, all done by hand. Cutters would set out to complete this bowl in their fifth and final year of apprenticeship. They were only permitted three attempts, where the cutter would then be graded and if they passed it would receive the Waterford Crystal watermark.

Trophies
Sporting trophies are also crafted by Waterford, such as the Masters Series crystal shield trophies that are awarded to the winner of each of the nine men's professional tennis Masters Series tournaments, the AFCA National Championship Trophy that is awarded to the US college football team which finishes the season at the top of the Coaches Poll, and a representation of the Ashes urn that is presented to the winners of the Test cricket series between England and Australia. The trophy for the Masters snooker championship is also made by Waterford Crystal, as is the Scottish Open snooker championship trophy.
Also crafted by Waterford are the winning trophies for the French, Belgian and German Grand Prix in Formula One, a bat and ball trophy presented at the final game at Yankee Stadium to Derek Jeter and a glass tennis racket for Boris Becker. They also design the trophies for the People's Choice Awards.

The Kimberley rockhole frog (Litoria aurifera) is a small frog from northern Australia. It lives in the Kimberley area.  It was first found in the Prince Regent River by two plant scientists.

Adult frogs are about 22 mm long from nose to rear end.  They live in rockholes and streams with rocky bottoms.  They are so small and light that they can skip across the top of the water like a skipping stone.

They lay 60-110 eggs at a time, in different places instead of large groups of eggs like other frogs.  The tadpoles have dark black bodies and tails with bright gold spots.  They eat algae and their mouths have suckers so they can hold onto rocks in fast streams.  They are about 1 cm long when they become frogs.

The Latin name aurifera means "carrying gold."

Beck's tree frog (Ranoidea becki) is a large tree frog from Papua New Guinea.

Adult frogs are about 3.4 to 4.4 cm long.  They are dark green or dark brown in color with darker spots and stripes.  When dead frogs are saved for study, they have a white spot on their lip, but living frogs do not have this spot.

These frogs live high in the mountains and people have found them 3200 meters above sea level.  They live in or near bogs in grassy places.  They lay eggs underneath rocks.  Scientists do not know what the tadpoles look like.

As of the 2010s, scientists had only found this frog in five places.  They were places where human beings do not often go, so human activity does not bother these frogs.  They are dying because a sickness that affects frogs and other amphibians, chytridiomycosis, has spread to their mountains.
