Prothalotia lesueuri, common name Lesueur's top shell, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Trochidae, the top snails.

Description
The height of the shell varies between 13 mm and 19 mm, its diameter between 10 mm and 11 mm. The somewhat solid, imperforate shell has an elongated conical shape. It is whitish or a little tinged with olive, painted with numerous rather narrow longitudinal olive-brown or reddish-brown stripes generally broken into tessellations on the base. The spire is long. The whitish apex is subacute. The sutures are moderately impressed. The about 7 whorls are flat or concave below the sutures, convex and swollen at the periphery and above each suture. They are encircled by numerous fine lirae. The body whorl is a trifle deflexed at the aperture and is often subangular at the periphery. The rhomboidal aperture measures less than half the total length of shell. The acute peristome is rather thin, and edged by a row of red dots, thickened a little distance within, the thickening finely crenulated. The vertical columella is marked with
crimson at the outer base.

Description
This marine species is endemic to Australia and occurs off South Australia and Tasmania.

Languages of Truth is a collection of essays by Salman Rushdie. It was published in May 2021 by Random House.

Overview
The book includes pieces written between 2003 and 2020, many of them never previously in print and engaging with a variety of subjects such as storytelling, literature, culture, myths, language, migration and censorship.

Rushdie begins the book with a sentence, "Before there were books, there were stories", and reflects on the art of storytelling and on his individual search for a narrative. A journey that took him beyond the realm of realism in order to create magical universes of alternative realities. In the book, Rushdie celebrates the potential of stories as catalysts for nourishing the imagination. He suggests that adults lose some of the awe children have for repeated stories with which they fall in love.

Languages of truth reflects on novels and novelists ranging from Leo Tolstoy, Philip Roth, Cervantes and Samuel Beckett to Kurt Vonnegut. There are also some pieces on painters like Amrita Sher-Gil and Bhupen Khakhar, as well as some mentions of directors like Federico Fellini and Danny Boyle.

In an interview about his book with Amanpour & Company, Rushdie says:I grow up in India the immediate aftermath of British Empire, and what the British told people was the truth about that event was very rapidly proved to be something very unlike the truth. I mean I remember in India as a child the history books changing from the ones that the British had left behind, to the ones that had been written after independence; and people who had been characterized as villains, were now characterized as heroes, because of their part in the independence struggle. So truth is a battle, and maybe never more so than now.

Reception
Languages of Truth was longlisted for PEN/Diamonstein-Spielvogel Award.

In a lukewarm review for The New York Times, Dwight Garner described the book as "a defensive castling move", referring to the author's suggestion that the turn in literary culture from brio-filled imaginative writing toward the humbler delights of "autofiction" is the reason for misunderstanding and mistreatment of his works. Garner compares the book with one of Rushdie's previous ones, Imaginary Homelands, saying: "Back then Rushdie wrote nonfiction for editors, not for foundations and colleges", and although then "he was not a major critic" he was "a strong one". Garner goes on to conclude: "If his arguments about the state of fiction in Languages of Truth don't convince, at least they're genuine signs of life."

Paul Perry, in The Independent, described the book as interesting, engaging and entertaining, mentioning that many of the essays were delivered as lectures and "[E]ven though they have been revised for print they maintain a kind of erudite breeziness in their tone".

Glyn William Thompson (born 24 February 1981) is an English former association football goalkeeper.

Career
Born in, Shropshire, Thompson began his career as a youth player with hometown club Shrewsbury Town. He made his senior début as a 19-year-old under manager Jake King, in a 3–0 away win over Torquay United on the last day of the 1998–99 Division Three season. He made one more appearance for the club in the League Cup against Sheffield United — before joining Fulham in October 1999.

Fulham sent him on loan to Mansfield Town January 2000. He made 16 appearances (with five clean sheets) before his loan spell ended in May of that year. Shrewsbury was again his next club, but he was only drafted in on loan as cover, and did not play.

He spent three months on loan to Northampton Town and made 10 league appearances. Northampton made the move permanent, but Thompson was only to start eight more league matches in the following two years. Chesterfield of League One bought him on a free transfer in March 2005.

A 1–1 draw with Swindon Town on the final day of the 2004–05 season was his only match for the Derbyshire club. Before the 2005–06 season began, Thompson rejoined The Shrews. He spent the whole season as second-choice goalkeeper behind Joe Hart and as a result opted to leave at the season's end, to find first-team action. On 29 June, he signed for Hereford United.

Shortly after his arrival at Edgar Street, he picked up an injury and so missed out on the opportunity to play when first choice goalkeeper Wayne Brown was injured in the first league game. When he recovered from his injury, loanee Scott Tynan was preferred as first choice goalkeeper until the return of Brown. Thompson made only one appearance for the first team in the 2006–07 season. This came in the Football League Trophy against his former club Shrewsbury, and he also appeared for the reserves and in the HFA Senior Cup.

In July 2007, he signed for Newport County then in the Conference South. Thompson was immediately a regular for Newport and in the 2009–10 season he was ever-present as Newport County were crowned Conference South champions with a record 103 points, 28 points ahead of second placed Dover Athletic. On 12 May 2012 Thompson played for Newport in the FA Trophy Final at Wembley Stadium which Newport lost 2–0 to York City.

In July 2012, Thompson was signed by Worcester City.

Year 27 BC was either a common year starting on Sunday, Monday or Tuesday or a leap year starting on Monday (link will display the full calendar) of the Julian calendar (the sources differ, see leap year error for further information) and a common year starting on Sunday of the Proleptic Julian calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the Second Consulship of Octavian and Agrippa (or, less frequently, year 727 Ab urbe condita). The denomination 27 BC for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the Anno Domini calendar era became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years.
