midway lady ( foaled 1983 ) was an american-bred , british-trained thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare who won two british classic races in 1986 .

in a racing career lasting from august 1985 until june 1986 , the filly ran six times and won her last five races .

she sustained her only defeat when finishing second on her racecourse debut but won her remaining three races in 1985 including the may hill stakes at doncaster and the prix marcel boussac at longchamp .

her three-year-old campaign consisted of only two races , as she won the 1000 guineas at newmarket and the oaks at epsom a month later .

after sustaining a serious leg injury , she was retired to stud where she became a successful producer of winners including the oaks winner eswarah .

million reasons ,

let me start by saying that this is hallowed ground ,
obama said , noting that this was the site of the 1942 battle of midway , where
a number of young men lost their lives here . . . for us to be able to visit this monument and remind ourselves of the sailors and airmen and everyone involved who were able to rebuff the japanese force , that was vastly outnumbered , is a testament to their courage and their perseverance .

angel down ,
another sweet , emotional ballad that fills us with enough sorrow to go right back to
diamond heart
and start all over again .
it is also spectacular as an ecosystem , and our ability to not just designate but build on this incredible natural beauty that is home to 7 , 000 marine species , that sees millions of birds , many of them endangered , sea turtles , hawaiian monk seals , black coral , all sorts of species that in many other places we no longer see , we ' ll extend that 550 , 000 miles in ways that ensure not only that midway itself is protected , that the entire ecosystem will be able to generate the kind of biodiversity that allows us to study it , research and understand our oceans better than we ever have before .
sonic lady remained in training as a four - year - old with the breeders ' cup as her main objective . her training in the early part of the year was disrupted by a foot injury and she appeared to be less than fully fit when she made her seasonal debut in the queen anne stakes at royal ascot where she finished third , beaten a length and a head by the colts then again and water cay . [ 14 ] three weeks later she was matched against the leading three - year - old filly forest flower in the child stakes at newmarket . [ 15 ] the early pace was very slow and swinburn opted to send the filly into the lead after two furlongs . in the closing stages she held off the sustained challenge of the aga khan ' s filly shaikiya to win by a head with forest flower ten and a half lengths back in fourth . sonic lady did not race again until 26 september , when she finished third behind milligram and miesque in the queen elizabeth ii stakes at ascot . in november , the filly was sent to california for her second attempt at the breeders cup mile , with the panamanian jockey laffit pincay replacing swinburn . racing on medication , including lasix and bute , she started the 2 . 9 / 1 favourite , but had no answer to the finishing speed of miesque and finished third of the fourteen runners .

the 11 - 4 joint favourite , ridden by richard hills , also enjoying his first oaks win , denied a fairytale story for the runner - up ' s trainer david elsworth .
elsworth , who trained the great horses desert orchid and persian punch , was seeking his first british classic win .
but something exciting ( 7 - 1 ) just could not reel in the unbeaten eswarah , with pictavia ( 8 - 1 ) staying on in third .
virginia waters , the other joint - favourite , weaved her way through the pack after the turn for home but did not get the trip , finishing fourth .
magical romance , who had set the earlier pace , stayed on well to come fifth .
her dam was very good , but this filly is exceptional . she has trained beautifully ,

she ' s done it well . i thought richard may have gone too soon with her , but it seems to have been the right thing to do .
it was the 66 - year - old trainer ' s second british classic victory , coming after ameerat won the 1 , 000 guineas in 2001 .
jockey hills told the bbc :
i followed them into the straight and it was then a matter of waiting before i pounced .
they slowed up about six furlongs out , which was good because my filly got a good breather into her for the run - in .
eswarah could now run in the irish oaks on 17 july although jarvis hinted that the yorkshire equivalent was a more likely target .

it ' s a remote destination for air force one - - the tiny dot of an island is a three - hour flight northwest of honolulu , surrounded by a vast expanse of ocean . but the president hopes the trek will help underscore the efforts he ' s taken to preserve some of the world ' s threatened ecosystems .
the president was also planning to snorkel off the coast of the atoll , according to a pool report .
obama was going to
interact directly
with some of the wildlife , according to his top climate adviser brian deese , though he didn ' t specify what that might entail .
two - dozen bird species , including the black - footed albatross and red - footed booby , occupy the island , as well as dozens of coral reef - dwelling fish in the surrounding water .
endangered monk seals , green turtles and tiger sharks are among the other species that share the fragile marine environment there .
like his visit last year to the alaskan wilderness , obama hopes his stop in a remote and threatened environment will prompt more americans to take climate change seriously .
he made his case for taking action during remarks near lake tahoe wednesday , warning against electing leaders who deny warming temperatures are the result of human activity .
the fact is it is man - made ,
obama said .
it ' s not ' we think it is man - made , ' it ' s not , ' we guess it is man - made , ' it ' s not , ' a lot of people are saying it ' s man - made , ' it ' s not , ' i ' m not a scientist so i don ' t know . ' you don ' t have to be scientist . you have to read , or listen to scientists , to know that the overwhelming body of scientific evidence shows us that climate change is caused by human activity .

i might not be flawless , but you know i ' ve got a diamond heart .
joanne opens in earnest with
diamond heart ,
which proceeds with a sleepy build to the chorus .
i might not be flawless , but you know i ' ve got a diamond heart ,
gaga croons . by the time i reached the bridge , where gaga ' s voice really soars , i was in .
good thing i know what i ' m worth ,
she belts . going into
a - yo
and the much slower , guitar - driven melody of
joanne ,
it ' s clear that nostalgic american vibe — country , rock and roll , and maybe even a little bit of folk — is where we ' ll live . at this point in my personal experience with the album , i ' ve unpacked some boxes and moved right in .
listening to and loving joanne reminds me of a similar experience i had five years ago , when the decemberists released their own country - style masterpiece , the king is dead . i remember being struck by how exceptional it sounded when the decemberists mixed their style and sounds with more traditional ( and simpler ) bluegrass textures . i realize now , with the help of gaga , that there must be some magic there . when an artist that ' s so entrenched in one genre of music gets the chance to tap into such a specific and traditional sound , it ' s like their personal lens casts everything in a whole new light . the result is something notably fresh , undeniably close to the heart and , in my opinion , quite impactful .
as we get into the meat of the album , it ' s clear there are notes of gaga ' s theatrical background too .
come to mama
is perhaps the most striking example of a voice influenced by musical theater , but there ' s also a noted drama to the most upbeat songs like
john wayne ,
dancin ' in circles ,
and
sinner ' s prayer .
in these songs , the character of
joanne
might be the most palpable . pointed lyrics like
every john is just the same ,
and
feels good to be lonely ,
nod at the sorrow in the album ' s underbelly , but the raw energy of the songs is equally undeniable . these might be my favorite songs on the album . the lyrics are poignant , the imagery is sharp , and the beats are electrifying . the fire in these songs is present in all of gaga ' s work , because i recognize the feelings i get from listening to it .

she is the first halftime show performer to receive an admonition from the national rifle association about what she should — or , rather , should not — do during her super bowl performance .
speaking on nra tv , conservative political commentator bill whittle strongly implored gaga to leave any political statements out of her 13 - minute sunday performance at houston’s nrg stadium .
whittle began by taking a shot at the nfl for picking gaga just a year after beyoncé fueled criticism from conservative corners for her 2016 super bowl halftime show performance . it featured the live debut of her overtly political song “formation , ” which found her and her dancers wearing quasi - military outfits inspired by the black panthers .


ptychochromis makira is a species of cichlid only known from the antainambalana river in the northernmost part of the toamasina province in madagascar .

it is threatened by habitat loss and overfishing , and has suffered a severe decline in recent years .

it reaches a length of 14.6 centimetres ( 5.7 in ) sl .

ptychochromis makira

ptychochromis makira is known only from the type series , collected in the antainambalana river just north of maroansetra in northeastern madagascar . the southern range limit of p . makira is not known with certainty as that region has not been extensively surveyed for freshwater fishes ( stiassny and sparks , 2006 ) .

it is not currently known whether p . makira is found and is widespread or not within the boundaries of the makira forest protected area / national park , the largest ( c . 3 , 500 km² ) contiguous tract of principally lowland rainforest remaining in madagascar .
although once common throughout the region of maroansetra , ptychochromis makira has suffered a severe decline in abundance in recent years , according to local fishermen ( ref . 57663 ) . they report that the species is now rare ( ref . 57663 ) .

) . currently known only from the type localities , which are located in the middle to lower reaches of the mananara ( du nord ) river , northeastern madagascar . this region is characterized by humid , lowland rainforest ( unesco - mab biosphere reserves directory , 2009 ) , and remains poorly surveyed for freshwater fishes . it is unknown whether the new species is more widely distributed within the region , and also whether it occurs in smaller tributaries of the mananara ( du nord ) river or other adjacent drainage basins to the north and south . substantial forest cover remains in the region and it is likely the new species has a significantly more widespread geographic distribution than current collection data would indicate . the mananara ( du nord ) river is a relatively large basin that extends from its headwaters through regions of intact forest and low population density . it is a typical eastern drainage , with a steep overall profile , and a generally rocky to sandy substrate . it is likely that the new species of
is restricted to the middle to lower reaches of the river and its tributaries , given that suitable habitat and adequate trophic resources are most likely lacking at higher elevations , as is typical for other eastern basins ( sparks , 2005 a , b ) .
conservation status . although forested portions of the coastal region to the south of the mananara ( du nord ) river are encompassed by the mananara - nord biosphere reserve ( designated in 1990 ) , which extends from 16 ° 09 ' to 16 ° 36 ' s and 49 ° 31 ' to 49 ° 53 ' e , and covers 140 , 000 hectares , the mananara river and its south bank tributaries are not included within the terrestrial component of the protected area ( which also includes a smaller marine component ) ( unesco - mab biosphere reserves directory , 2009 ) . we anticipate that the new species is not only more widespread in the region due to similar available habitats , but that it also receives some degree of protection from habitat degradation , deforestation , and overfishing within the biosphere reserve , which protects some of the last remaining remnants of lowland rainforest in eastern madagascar . in general , species of
, which remains relatively common and widespread along the highly developed and densely populated eastern coast of the island ) . nevertheless , members of the genus are rapidly extirpated from areas where habitats have become severely disturbed and water quality is negatively impacted ( e . g . , severe deforestation and development resulting in highly turbid drainage basins ) ( sparks & stiassny , 2003 , 2008 ) .

was problematic in that study . based primarily on features of the palatine bone of the suspensorium , stiassny and sparks ( 2006 ) recognized two groups of
: a “western clade” characterized by a compact palatine head with an upright orientation and marked elevation of the lateral ethmoid process ( i . e . , “western type palatine” ) , and an “eastern group” in which the palatine exhibits a markedly horizontal orientation , an elongate palatine prong , and less prominent ( weakly elevated ) lateral ethmoid process ( i . e . , “eastern type palatine” ) . on the cladogram presented by stiassny and sparks ( 2006 : fig . 2
) , unambiguous optimization of the “western type palatine” configuration ( sparks & stiassny , 2006 : character 14 , node d ) was interpreted as evidence for monophyly of a “western clade” ; however , the “eastern type palatine” morphology described above was not unambiguously optimized on that phylogenetic reconstruction . as a result , the relationships of the four eastern species included in our 2006 analysis ( viz . ,
) were represented as a polytomy ( stiassny & sparks , 2006 : fig . 2
here we have identified an additional putatively homologous anatomical feature unique to the “eastern group” , rostral displacement of the supraneural elements such that the anterior supraneural comes to overlie the dorsoposterior margin of the supraoccipital of the neurocranium . this supraneural configuration is lacking in all other members of
to test this hypothesis , we reran our prior phylogenetic analysis ( stiassny & sparks , 2006 : fig . 2
) using the same methodological approach , search parameters , and combined morphological and molecular dataset , with the inclusion of the new species and including coding for the unique “eastern group” supraneural configuration described above and the two features ( discussed below ) hypothesized to unite p . m a k i r a and the new species ( for a total of 24 morphological transformations and 2053 total characters ; characters 1–21 are described in detail in sparks & stiassny , 2006 : table 1 and results ) . a complete list of the morphological character descriptions is presented in the appendix and the corresponding data matrix is presented in table 2 . as the results indicate ( fig . 7
) , we again failed to recover a monophyletic “eastern group” despite the fact that these five species possess both the novel supraneural feature ( character 22 , fig . 3
a–c ) and “eastern type palatine” configuration ( sparks & stiassny , 2006 : character 21 ; fig . 2
that exhibit an “eastern type palatine” configuration , p . m a k i r a shares with
is the presence of a characteristic lateral barring pattern , in which each prominent midlateral blotch is intersected by a pair of narrow and less strongly pigmented vertical or oblique bars ( fig . 7
; character 24 ) . however , in p . m a k i r a these pairs of lateral flank bars are distinctively v - shaped ( fig . 7
b ) . despite inconclusive results in our earlier phylogenetic analysis ( sparks & stiassny , 2006 : fig . 2
, our new analysis recovered a sister group relationship between p . m a k i r a and
supported by the two unambiguously optimized anatomical features ( characters 23 & 24 ) discussed above .
is readily distinguished from p . m a k i r a by conspicuous iridescent spangling on the flank and dorsal fin membrane near its base , dusky grayish - green base coloration ( vs . whitish ) , four lachrymal laterosensory foramina ( vs . three ) , and a total of seven ( vs . six ) infraorbital bones . although only two specimens of p . m a k i r a have been collected to date and admittedly represent a rather limited size range , the new species is also more shallow bodied ( 41 . 7–46 . 1 vs . 48 . 1–48 . 9 % sl in p . m a k i r a ) , has a larger eye ( 29 . 5–37 . 4 vs . 25 . 6–27 . 6 % hl in p . m a k i r a ) , a longer head ( 34 . 2–37 . 1 vs . 32 . 0– 32 . 2 % sl in p . m a k i r a ) , a shorter preanal length ( 71 . 6–73 . 5 vs . 75 . 1 % sl in p . m a k i r a ) , and a greater lateral line scale count ( 34–37 vs . 33 in
) than its sister taxon , p . m a k i r a .
