The decision to adopt a separate currency was driven by Namibia's desire to have greater control over its monetary policy and currency. The Namibian dollar is pegged to the South African rand at a 1:1 exchange rate. This arrangement provides stability to Namibia's economy, as South Africa is its largest trading partner, and the rand is widely accepted and used in Namibia alongside the Namibian dollar.
The Namibian dollar is issued in both coin and banknote form. Coins are issued in denominations of 5, 10, 50 cents, and 1, 5 dollars, while banknotes are issued in denominations of 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 dollars.
The design of Namibian banknotes and coins often features images of Namibia's natural landscapes, wildlife, and cultural heritage. The 10-dollar banknote has images of wildlife such as the oryx, while the 200-dollar banknote has scenes of Namibia's desert landscapes.
The Namibian dollar is primarily used as a medium of exchange within Namibia for everyday transactions, including purchases of goods and services. It is also used for international trade and investment within the Southern African Development Community region, where the South African rand is widely accepted.
The stability of the Namibian dollar is tied to the performance of the South African economy, as Namibia's economy is highly dependent on trade with South Africa. Fluctuations in commodity prices, exchange rates, and global economic conditions can impact the value of the Namibian dollar relative to other currencies.
The Namibian dollar is pegged to the South African rand at a 1:1 exchange rate. This means that one Namibian dollar is equal in value to one South African rand. The pegging of the Namibian dollar to the rand provides stability and predictability to Namibia's economy, as it reduces exchange rate risk for businesses and investors operating in the country. The pegging arrangement is supported by the Currency and Exchanges Act of 1933, which allows for the use of the South African rand as legal tender in Namibia. This legal framework facilitates cross-border trade and investment between Namibia and South Africa, contributing to economic integration and development in the region.

Nyctixalus spinosus
The spiny Indonesian tree frog ("Nyctixalus spinosus") is a frog. It lives in the Philippines. People have seen it between 300 and 1430 meters above sea level.
The adult frog is 30 to 37 mm long from nose to rear end. It is red-brown in color with small white bumps on it and yellow and orange spots. There is some webbed skin on the feet. It has disks on its toes for climbing. The disks on the front feet are larger than the disks on the back feet. The frog's belly and sides are orange-yellow in color.
This frog lives in forests and in places near forests that humans have changed. The frog lives on the ground in the dead leaves on the ground. The female frog lays eggs in bits of water high up in the trees. The water is in holes in the trees.
Scientists believe this frog is not in danger of dying out because it lives in such a large place, but they believe people cutting down its forests may harm it. People cut down the forests to make small farms, large palm oil farms, and to collect wood to make charcoal.
Nasutixalus
Nasutixalus is a group of frogs in the family Rhacophoridae. These frogs live in northeastern India, southeastern Tibet, and western Yunnan (China); they might also live in Nepal and Myanmar. People call them ridged-nose treefrogs in English.
The name "Nasutixalus" is from the Latin words "nasutus", for "large-nosed," and "ixalus", which is a word for tree frogs.
Scientists made the genus group "Nasutixalus" in 2016 because of the species "Nasutixalus medogensis". The species was described based on just one individual frog. Scientists did DNA studies and found that this one frog was in the family Rhacophoridae but not in any of the genuses that were already known. Sathyabhama Das Biju and team made a new genus for just one species, "Frankixalus", for "Polypedates jerdonii"; named for from the Free University of Brussels. But because the other scientists published their paper two days before Das Biju's team, all the other scientists decided to use "Nasutixalus". So "Frankixalus" is a synonym.
A one frog that scientists called "Theloderma moloch" at first was genetically distinct from other "Theloderma" and made the genus paraphyletic. Scientists studied "Theloderma moloch" more and caught more frogs. They found those frogs were more closely related to "Nasutixalus jerdonii" than to any other frogs in "Theloderma" so they renamed it "Nasutixalus medogensis".
There are three species:
"Nasutixalus" are good at hiding and hard to see, medium-sized frogs: adult males are long from nose to rear end and adult females are long. There is some webbed skin on the front feet and more on the back feet.
"Nasutixalus" live in trees in evergreen forests on mountains. Male "Nasutixalus jerdonii" and "N. yingjiangensis" call from tree holes. People have seen eggs from "N. jerdonii" have been found in water-filled tree holes. The eggs stick to the inner walls of the holes just above the surface of the water. People also saw tadpoles in the water. The tadpoles had eggs in their stomachs, so scientists think they eat eggs. Phytotelm-breeding frogs often have tadpoles that eat eggs because there is not much food in holes in trees. Scientists don't know whether the tadpoles ate eggs from their same species or not, but they think so.

Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar
Originally part of the "Quwanlu" branch of the
Qajar tribe, Agha Mohammad Khan became the king of Iran in 1789. However, his official coronation didn't take place until March 1796. His rise to power involved the deposition of "Lotf Ali Khan" from the Zand dynasty in 1794.
Notably, Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar endured a challenging personal journey, having been castrated as a young adult when captured by Adel Shah Afshar. This left him childless, and he adopted the regnal name Agha Mohammad Shah upon ascending the throne.
Agha Mohammad Khan's reign is marked by significant achievements and actions. One of his notable accomplishments was the reunification of a centralized Iran, bringing about a sense of unity. He also played a crucial role in moving the capital to Tehran, a decision that still impacts the country today.
Despite his achievements, Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar is remembered for his ruthless behavior during military campaigns, particularly in Georgia and Kerman. His cruelty and rapacious actions earned him a reputation that, while negative, also highlights his effectiveness as a military and political leader.
However, historical perspectives on Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar are not one-sided. Many view him as a pragmatic, calculating, and shrewd leader who made strategic decisions for the benefit of Iran. His reign, though relatively short-lived, left a lasting impact on the country's political landscape.
Tragically, Agha Mohammad Khan's life was cut short when he was assassinated on 17 June 1797. Following his death, his nephew, Fath-Ali Shah Qajar, succeeded him as the ruler of Iran.
In summary, Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar's legacy is complex, marked by achievements in unifying Iran and establishing Tehran as the capital, as well as criticisms for his ruthless actions during military campaigns. His reign, though relatively brief, laid the foundation for the Qajar dynasty, leaving an indelible mark on Iranian history.

In February 2019, Williamson was suspended from the Labour Party for his comments about how the party's responded to criticism over its handling of allegations of antisemitism within the party. After an investigation, Williamson was reinstated in June 2019 with a formal warning. He was suspended again two days later when the party decided to review the disciplinary decision. In October 2019, Williamson won a High Court challenge to the legality of the review of the decision but similar charges had been made on 3 September 2019, involving a further suspension; the High Court ruled the Labour Party's disciplinary procedure with regard to these charges should run its course. Labour's National Executive Committee blocked Williamson from standing as a Labour candidate in the 2019 general election. He resigned from the Labour Party and stood as an Independent, losing the seat and his deposit.
In July 2023, he joined the Workers Party of Britain. He was elected one of their deputy leaders in December 2023.
Fath-Ali Shah is remembered by Iranians for several distinctive characteristics. Firstly, he was known for his remarkably long beard. Secondly, his slender waist, likened to that of a wasp, became a notable feature. Lastly, his legacy includes his numerous descendants.
Towards the end of his rule, Iran faced severe economic challenges, coupled with military and technological shortcomings. These difficulties brought the nation to the brink of government breakdown. After Fath-Ali Shah's death, a power struggle ensued, further hastening Iran's descent into potential disarray.
During his reign, efforts were made to glorify the monarchy through artistic representations. Many visual depictions of Fath-Ali Shah and his court were crafted to celebrate the royal authority. Notable among these are rock reliefs, reminiscent of those established during the pre-Islamic Sasanian Empire. These reliefs can be found in Ray, Fars, and Kermanshah.
The purpose behind these artistic endeavors was to portray Fath-Ali Shah as the rightful heir to the ancient Persian empire. By doing so, he aimed to connect with his fellow countrymen and leave a lasting impression on future generations. Despite the challenges and complexities of his rule, Fath-Ali Shah Qajar's legacy endures through the visual representations that sought to immortalize his reign.
"Baba Khan", better known after his coronation in 1797 as Fath Ali Shah Qajar, was born in the city of "Damghan", located in the Semnan province of Iran. As his father was suspected of engaging in political activities against the Zand dynasty, he was sent as a five-year-old hostage to Shiraz to live with his uncle, Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar, who was in exile at the time under the surveillance of Karim Khan Zand.
In 1779, after Karim Khan's death, Muhammad Khan Qajar rebelled against the Zand dynasty. During the ensuing wars, Baba Khan served under his uncle. When Agha Muhammed Khan Qajar emerged victorious and established the Qajar dynasty, he had no heir. Baba Khan was adopted by the king as his son and crown prince.
Baba Khan served as the governor of Fars when his uncle was assassinated in 1797. Subsequently, Baba Khan ascended to the throne and assumed the name Fath Ali Shah. The significant events during his reign were the two wars between Persia and Russia, where the Iranian army suffered defeats. The Gulistan Treaty and later the Turkmanchay Treaty were signed, resulting in Persia losing many of its northern territories to Russia
Initially, Fath Ali Shah Qajar appointed "Abbas Mirza", his youngest son from a noble lineage, as the crown prince. However, the crown prince died before the king, and Mohammad, the son of the crown prince, took his father's place as the crown prince. Mohammad later succeeded Fath Ali Shah Qajar, becoming the next and third king in the Qajar dynasty.

Organizational ecology
Organizational ecology is a branch of organizational studies that draws from biology, economics, and sociology to examine how organizations emerge, evolve, and decline.
Organizational ecology is divided into many levels like community, population, and organization. The community level involves interacting populations, the population level includes organizations engaged in similar activities, and the organization level focuses on individual organizations. When people talk about organizational ecology in research, they usually mean population ecology, which focuses on the second level, studying how groups of organizations change over time.
Before the 1970s, most research on organizations focused on how they adapt to change. But in the mid-1970s, researchers like William Evan and Eric Trist started looking at how the environment affects organizations. Trist defined population ecology as studying how groups of organizations interact and create a system. Then, in 1977, Michael T. Hannan and John H. Freeman developed a theory of population ecology, explaining how organizations compete and evolve, similar to natural selection. This approach examines how organizations start, end, and change over time.
Organizational ecology has since become a major field in studying organizations, known for its use of big data over long periods. Some key books in this field are "The Demography of Corporations and Industries" and "Logics of Organization Theory."

Nyctixalus pictus
The painted Indonesian tree frog, spotted tree froglet, Sumatra Indonesian tree frog, cinnamon tree frog, cinnamon frog, spotted tree frog, white-spotted tree frog, or white-spotted brown frog ("Nyctixalus pictus") is a frog. It lives in Malaysia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Brunei, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Singapore. People have seen it between 50 and 1800 meters above sea level.
This frog lives in forests that have never been cut down and in forests that have been cut down and grew back. It does not live in places where too many trees have been cut down. The female frog lays eggs in bits of water high up in the trees. The water is in holes in the trees. People have also seen the frogs breed in buckets of water.
Sometimes people catch this frog to sell as pets, but scientists do not think they do it enough to make the frog die out.
A schooner is a sailboat with at least two masts. It has special sails, called fore-and-aft rigs on all masts. Also, the mast at the front is not the highest. Today, most schooners have three masts. The first schooner was built in 1713, in Gloucester, north of Boston.
In general, a confession is is when a person tells someone a thing that the other person usually does not know. In different contexts, the word has slightly different meanings:
Often, a confession is associated with an admission of a moral or legal wrong:
Not all confessions reveal wrongdoing, however. For example, a declaration of love is often considered positive both by the confessor and by the recipient of the confession and is a common theme in literature.
There are several specific kinds of confessions that have significance beyond the social. A legal confession involves an admission of some wrongdoing that has a legal consequence. Confession in religion varies widely across various belief systems. It is usually part of a ritual by which the person acknowledges thoughts or actions considered sinful or morally wrong within the confines of the confessor's religion. In some religions, confession takes the form of an oral communication to another person. Socially, however, the term may refer to admissions that are neither legally nor religiously significant.
Some confessions are very notable. For example, the confession of Henry II of England to the murder of Thomas Becket.

RSPCA Australia
RSPCA Australia (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) is an Australian organisation that was founded in 1981. It promotes animal welfare.
The RSPCA is partly funded by the Australian Government. It is the leading animal welfare organisation in Australia. It also has many animal shelters for pet adoption, and many animal products in Australian supermarkets are from RSPCA-approved farms.
The RSPCA in Australia is inspired by the British RSPCA, an animal welfare charity in England and Wales.
The RSPCA has branches in every state and territory of Australia:
Animals that can be adopted at RSPCA shelters include birds, cats, dogs, farm animals, ferrets, guinea pigs, rabbits and rodents. Animals like amphibians, crabs, fish and reptiles are usually sold at pet stores and are not common at RSPCA shelters.
RSPCA shelters can be found in every state and territory and in both cities and towns. There is at least one RSPCA shelter in every capital city except Hobart.
Governors of the Australian states
Each Australian state has a governor, who serves as the head of state and represents the King or Queen. Governors perform the same actions as the federal Governor-General but on the state level. The Governor of a state acts on the advice of that state's Premier and the state cabinet.
The Australian Indian Ocean Territories (Christmas Island and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands), Norfolk Island and the Northern Territory have administrators instead of governors. The Australian Capital Territory does not have a governor or an administrator.
Milling is a method of shaping materials by using special tools that spin and cut away excess material from a piece of work. The process involves guiding a cutting tool into the material to create a desired shape. This can be done by moving the tool in different directions and adjusting its speed and pressure.
Milling is widely used to make various parts, ranging from small components to large and heavy-duty items. It is a popular method for crafting custom parts with great precision.
Milling can be done using different machines. Initially, there were machines called milling machines, often just referred to as mills. However, with technological advancements, we now have more advanced machines known as machining centers. These modern machines come with automatic tool changers, tool magazines, computer control, and other features.
These machines are broadly classified into two types: vertical machining centers (VMCs) and horizontal machining centers (HMCs), depending on how the cutter moves relative to the workpiece.
In the 1960s, the introduction of computer numerical control (CNC) transformed milling machines into what we now call machining centers. These centers are equipped with advanced features like automatic tool changes, computer control, and cooling systems.
Over time, the idea of combining milling with turning operations emerged. Initially, live tooling was introduced for lathes, and mills were occasionally used for turning. This led to the development of multitasking machines (MTMs). MTMs are designed to handle both milling and turning within the same workspace, making the manufacturing process more efficient.
In summary, milling is a versatile method used for shaping materials precisely. From basic milling machines to advanced machining centers and multitasking machines, the evolution of milling has played a crucial role in modern manufacturing. Whether you're crafting a small component or a heavy-duty part, milling is a go-to process for achieving accuracy and customization in production.
