# A Silent Witness

A Silent Witness is a 1912 Australian silent film directed by Franklyn Barrett. It is considered a lost film. It was a drama set in Sydney with Cyril Mackay as the hero.
Barrett later claimed this detective drama was the first production in which he had a "free hand".
Barrett referred later to making a film for Wests which dealt with opium smuggling and caused issues with the police. It may have been this movie.
Of Sydney Stirling, Barrett wrote "I never knew an actor so responsive to direction, so keen to size up a situation and command it.”

# A World Between

A World Between is a science fiction novel by American writer Norman Spinrad, published in 1979.

## Plot summary

A World Between is a novel set on the planet Pacifica, where the government is a media democracy whose elections take place on a world-wide computer network.

## Reception

Greg Costikyan reviewed A World Between in Ares Magazine #1. Costikyan commented that "In Spinrad's firm hands, the result is a gripping story from start to finish. His portrayal of Pacifican society is so convincing that the reader takes for granted its differences from our own, and his depiction of all three sides' propaganda would be like. If Spinrad sometimes succumbs to the urge to preach, what he preaches is democracy, sexual equality, and human understanding; surely, we can forgive him for this."

# Abantennarius duescus

Abantennarius duescus, the side-jet frogfish, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Antennariidae, the frogfishes. The side-jet frog fish has a scattered distribution in the western Pacific Ocean.

## Taxonomy

Abantennarius duescus was first formally described as Antennarius duescus by the American ichthyologist John Otterbein Snyder with its type locality given as between Maui and Lanai in the Hawaiian Islands. In 1957 Leonard Peter Schultz proposed the gneus Abantennarius and designated A. duescus as its type species. The 5th edition of Fishes of the World classifies the genus Abantennarius in the family Antennariidae within the suborder Antennarioidei within the order Lophiiformes, the anglerfishes.

## Etymology

Abantennarius duescus has the genus name Abantennarius which prefixes ab, meaning "away from", onto antennarius, a fish of the family Antennaridae. This is an allusion to the gill opening being positioned away from the base of the pectoral fin, which is typically where it is located in frogfishes. The specific name duescus means "two baits", a reference Snyder did not explain. It is thought that it refers to the possession of two escae, the typical one which is the first dorsal-fin spine, then a thinner second dorsal spine with a club-like structure on its tip which resembles an esca.

## Distribution and habitat

Abantennarius duescus has been recorded from widely scattered location is the western Pacific Ocean, these include Hawaii (including Midway and Johnston Atoll); Kakaban, Flores and Komodo islands in Indonesia; Madang and Milne Bay in Papua New Guinea; Ouvéa Island in New Caledonia; and Fiji. It is found at depths 10 and 137 m (33 and 449 ft), although the mean depth at which it has been recorded is 23 m (75 ft), on rocky and coral reefs.
