Sowore led 2,000 students in protest against the Nigerian government in 1992. During the protests, the police started shooting and seven people killed. Sowore was arrested and tortured. He was also involved in the demand for democratic government taking over military rule in June 12, 1993. This resulted in several arrests, detentions and life threatening treatment by government officials.
Sowore started Sahara Reporters in a small room in Manhattan 2006 to fight against corrupt and wrong government practices. Sahara Reporters is supported by grants donated by the Ford Foundation and Omidyar Foundation. The medium does not accept adverts and financial support from the Nigerian government.

The two of them have several adventures and become very good friends. On one of these adventures, he meets a man who has a boat and cares for all the birds around the river. The man says that Billy can stay with him on his boat as they are going in the same direction. This is the first time Billy has somebody who allows him to be himself. The man also helping him understand some hard truths about life. The journey down the river on the boat begins a journey into young adulthood for both Billy and his beloved fox.Grace Dieu (ship)
Grace Dieu was the flagship of King Henry V of England and one of the largest ships of her time. It was launched in 1418. The ship sailed only sailed on one voyage after which it was kept anchored in the River Hamble. The ship was burned in 1439 after being struck by lightning.
"Grace Dieu" was designed by William Soper, a burgess of Southampton and clerk of the King's Ships. She was clinker-built with three planks nailed together along each part of her hull and waterproofed with tar and moss sandwiched between the timbers. She was long with a beam, comparable in size with "HMS Victory" and twice as large as "Mary Rose". The ship weighed between 1,400 tons and 2,750 tons. Two other ships, "Valentine" and "Falcon" were built to follow her. A dock was specially built for her construction near Town Quay in Southampton.
The remains of "Grace Dieu" show that it might have been built in a hurry, with some of the planks and ribs only roughly finished. She was a vast ship requiring 2735 oak, 1145 beech, and fourteen ash trees for her timbers. When completed in 1418, she was one of the largest wooden ships of the time.
In 1420, "Grace Dieu"made her only voyage under the command of the Earl of Devon, with orders to sail down the English Channel. The expedition suffered a mutiny even before leaving port, when the crew objected to soldiers and archers being aboard to guard the vessel. "Grace Dieu"'s sailors attempted to prevent the soldiers from boarding by abusing the clerk who was registering their names and threatening to throw the register into the sea. When the ship finally left port, nine of the crew incited a further mutiny against the captain by refusing to take their stations and insisting that the cruise be abandoned. "Grace Dieu" was brought into the nearest port, St. Helen's on the Isle of Wight, and the crew departed. A clerk who questioned their loyalty as they departed was assaulted and had his clothing torn.
When Henry V died in 1422, his ships were treated as his private property rather than as part of the kingdom's navy. Many were sold off to pay his debts.
In 1430 William Soper, when he was already in charge of the administration of the entire navy, dined with the commander of the Florentine merchant fleet on board "Grace Dieu".
Subsequently, "Grace Dieu" was laid-up in the River Hamble. Her mast and equipment were removed. She was burnt to the waterline after being set ablaze by lightning in 1439.
The remains of "Grace Dieu" are still in the River Hamble at Bursledon, near Southampton, Hampshire. For many years the wreck was believed to be that of a Danish galley or a nineteenth-century merchant ship. In 1933 a proper survey identified the wreck, and its great size. The site was protected by the Protection of Wrecks Act on 5 February 1974. In 2004 the site was excavated by Channel 4's archaeology programme "Time Team" for the 2005 series. Only 50 metres from the wreck lie those of another vessel, believed to be "Grace Dieu"'s contemporary "Holigost".

Form taxon
A form taxon is a group of organisms on based on what they look like (their morphology). Such a taxon may not reflect their biological relationships. In other words, they may not be a clade. A good example are the terms snake and lizard, which are not good taxonomic terms because neither is a proper clade. On the other hand, all poisonous snakes and lizards are in a good clade, the Toxicofera.

Heavy water
Heavy water (deuterium oxide, ', ') is a form of water based on deuterium.
It has a larger than normal amount of the hydrogen isotope called deuterium ( or D, also known as "heavy hydrogen"). Ordinary water has the common hydrogen-1 isotope ( or H, also called "protium"). This makes up most of the hydrogen in normal water. The presence of deuterium gives the chemical different nuclear properties, and the increase of mass gives it different physical and chemical properties compared to normal "light water". Heavy water is used as a neutron moderator in some nuclear reactors, such as CANDU reactors. It is a more efficient neutron moderator than regular water, allowing the use of unenriched uranium as fuel. Pure heavy water is not radioactive, because deuterium is a stable isotope, but heavy water that has been through a nuclear reactor is slightly radioactive.
The chemistry of heavy water is different enough that people, and most living things, cannot survive with heavy water in place of ordinary water. Small amounts are not toxic to people. It is common for people to drink several grams of heavy water for metabolic experiments without causing illness.

The song finished as the number-one song of 2018 in the United States. It is only the third song that entered at number one and topped the year-end charts in the US, after "Candle in the Wind 1997/Something About the Way You Look Tonight" by Elton John and "Shape of You" by Ed Sheeran.
The music video began with the titles, "The budget for this video was $996,631.90. We gave it all away. Don't tell the label…"
The money was given to various people, including some fans. As of May 2018, the video has received over 581 million YouTube views.
Pathetic fallacy means when you compare your human emotions to things happening in nature - such as a plague. An example is "a plague on both your houses" by Mercutio.

Racial profiling
Racial profiling is a term which originated in the United States. The usual context is police stopping and searching citizens on the suspicion that they may have committed a crime. It is controversial because it is usually black citizens who are stopped and searched. In other countries (for example the Middle East) religious and cultural differences may be the basis of police profiling.
Int the USA profiling has been tested in the courts a number of times. "Terry v. Ohio" was the first challenge to racial profiling in the United States in 1968. This case was about African American people who were thought to be stealing. The police officer arrested the three men, searched them and found a gun on two of the three men. One of the men searched was convicted and sentenced to jail. The sentence was challenged on the grounds that the arrest violated the search and seizure clause of the Fourth Amendment. In an 8-1 ruling, the Supreme Court decided that the police officer acted in a reasonable manner, and with reasonable suspicion, under the Fourth Amendment. The decision in this case allowed the police to have discretion in identifying suspicious or illegal activities.

Bola Ige was found dead of a gunshot at 8:30pm evening hours of Sunday, December 23, 2001 at his Bodija Estate home in Ibadan, Oyo State. BBC's Fiona Werge considered him to be the most senior Nigerian politician to have been killed since 1999.
Bagualosaurus
Bagualosaurus (meaning "bagel lizard") is a sauropodomorph dinosaur and is the seventh known sauropodomorph discovered in Brazil. The type species is Bagualosaurus agudoensis and was described in 2018.
"Bagualosaurus" lived about 223.23-230 million years ago.
The holotype specimen, consisting of a partial skull and jaw, twelve back vertebrae, two tail vertebrae, two chevrons, a pelvis, two partial hindlimbs annd five fragmentary ribs, was discovered on a ravine at the edge of a pond in rural Agudo in 2007. The fossil was kept in a closet of the Laboratory of Paleovertebrates of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul South, under the tutelage of Professor Cesar Schultz. This is what is commonly called "drawer paleontology". The fossil was described as a sauropodomorph on May 25, 2018.
It grew to about 2.5 meters (8.2 ft) long and about 1.3 (4.2 ft) long.
"Bagualosaurus" probably had a fully herbivourus diet. The fact that the "Bagualosaurus" already has a dentition well adapted to the consumption of vegetation is especially important for the evolutionary history of the dinosaurs. Pretto explains that all sauropods have two characteristics in common: gigantism and herbivorism. "Bagualosaurus" and other early sauropodomorphs may have adopted the leaf diet, which may have been the source of sauropod gigantism.
"Bagualosaurus" lived in the Santa Maria Formaiton alongside an unnamed prosauropod and genera such as the carnivourus sauropodomorph "Buriolestes, "the proterochampsid "Cerritosaurus" and the possible theropod "Staurikosaurus".
Darwinsaurus
Darwinsaurus (meaning "Darwin's lizard") is an ornithopod dinosaur once wrongly described as "Iguanodon".
In the early nineteenth century dinosaur remains were discovered near Hastings in East Sussex. These were first reported by Richard Owen in 1842. In 1889 they were referred to "Iguanodon fittoni" by Richard Lydekker. They were then assigned to "Hypselospinus fittoni" by David B. Norman in 2010.
In 2012 Gregory S. Paul named them as a separate genus and species. The type species is Darwinsaurus evolutionis. The generic name honours Charles Darwin for his theory of evolution. The first fossil described as "Darwinsaurus" is known from a partial skeleton.
Paul's decision is being challenged, and the present account may need be changed.
Hypselospinus
Carnelian (also spelled cornelian) is a brownish-red mineral commonly used as a semi-precious gemstone.
Similar to carnelian is a darker and harder stone called 'sard'. The two names are often used interchangeably. Both carnelian and sard are varieties of the silica mineral chalcedony coloured by impurities of iron oxide.
The gemstone has been used since prehistory.
