In most nations, bride kidnapping is considered a sex crime because of the implied element of rape, rather than a valid form of marriage. Some types of it may also be seen as falling along the continuum between forced marriage and arranged marriage. The term is sometimes confused with elopements, in which a couple runs away together and seeks the consent of their parents later. In some cases, the woman cooperates with or accedes to the kidnapping, typically in an effort to save face for herself or her parents. In many jurisdictions, this used to be encouraged by so-called marry-your-rapist laws. Even in countries where the practice is against the law, if judicial enforcement is weak, customary law ("traditional practices") may prevail.
Bride kidnapping is often (but not always) a form of child marriage. It may be connected to the practice of bride price, wealth paid by the groom and his family to the bride's parents, and the inability or unwillingness to pay it.
Bride kidnapping is when one man (or a man and his friends) abduct one woman. When this is done on a larger scale (a large group of men abducting many women), this is known as raptio, and different from bride kidnapping. In the 21st century, there have been more cases of war rape, which may have elements of bride kidnapping. Women and girls abducted by groups such as Boko Haram in Nigeria, the Lord's Resistance Army in Uganda and ISIS in the Middle East have been taken as wives by their abductors.
In some countries, there are still rituals, which involve a symbolic bride kidnapping as part of a wedding. Some say that the honeymoon is a relic of such a practice: the husband going into hiding with his wife to avoid reprisals from her relatives, with the intention that the woman would be pregnant by the end of the month.

There is a lighthouse, and a research station, with four people. There is no freshwater supply on the islands, so the research station has a water desalination plant.
Only the largest islet, Belmonte, has mosses and grasses on it. The other rocks are mostly barren, except for some sea algae and fungi that can tolerate the salt spray. Seabirds, including the brown booby ("Sula leucogaster"), brown noddy ("Anous stolidus"), and black noddy ("Anous minutus"), as well as crabs ("Grapsus grapsus"), insects, and spiders live on the rocks.
The islands are home to over 100 reef fishes. About 10% of them are found nowhere else in the world, including the very colorful "Tosanoides aphrodite".

Cuban tree frog
The Cuban tree frog, marbled tree toad, or giant tree frog ("Osteopilus septentrionalis") is a frog. It lives in Cuba, Isla de Pinos, the Cayman Islands, and the Bahamas. Human beings have brought it to Curacao, Anguilla, Costa Rica Saint Maarten, Saba, the Turks and Caicos Islands, Nevis, Puerto Rico, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, and the island of Oahu in Hawaii.
This frog is larger than other frogs in Hylidae. The disks on their toes are also very large. There is no webbed skin on their front feet. There is some webbed skin on their back feet. This frog is usually gray or green in color. Sometimes it is brown or light brown instead.
The female frog lays eggs in temporary bodies of water. The tadpoles grow fast so they become frogs before the water dries up. The tadpoles have round bodies. The skin on their backs is black in color. Parts of their tails are gray-brown in color.
This frog can eat smaller frogs. Because human beings brought it to places where it did not always live, it has become an invasive specie. It eats the frogs that have lived in those places a long time.
It makes a chemical in its skin that can harm human skin.

New York State Route 174
New York State Route 174 (NY 174) is a state highway. It is in Onondaga County, in Central New York, in the United States. The highway is long.
It passes through mostly rural regions. Route 174 begins at an intersection with NY 41 in Borodino, a small-town of Spafford. It heads generally northward for most of its length, except for short distances in the villages of Marcellus and Camillus.
The road was first constructed in the early 19th century. It followed the path of Nine Mile Creek. It connected several early settlements in Central New York.
Later, the northern half of the route was improved as a plank road in 1855. This was done by a private corporation that collected tolls from travelers on the road. The state took over the maintenance of the road by the beginning of the 20th century. Several minor realignments have been made in the areas of the villages of Marcellus and Camillus to accommodate newly built bypasses.

Classical field theory
Classical physics is a group of physics theories that predate modern, more complete, or more widely applicable theories. If a currently accepted theory is considered to be modern, and its introduction represented a major paradigm shift, then the previous theories, or new theories based on the older paradigm, will often be referred to as belonging to the area of "classical physics".
As such, the definition of a classical theory depends on context. Classical physical concepts are often used when modern theories are unnecessarily complex for a particular situation.

Brazing
Brazing is a metal-joining process. Two or more metal items are joined together by melting and flowing a filler metal into the joint. The filler metal has a lower melting point than the adjoining metal.
Brazing differs from welding because it does not melt the work pieces. Brazing differs from soldering because it uses a higher temperature and more closely fitted parts than soldering.
During the brazing process, the filler metal flows into the gap between close-fitting parts by capillary action.
The filler metal is brought slightly above its melting temperature. while protected by a suitable atmosphere, usually a flux. It then flows over the base metal and joins the work pieces together. A big advantage of brazing is it can join the same or different metals with considerable strength.

Failed state
A failed state is a political body, usually a state, that can no longer work as it should. There are different definitions, but in general at least one of the following is true:
In such a state, there often is widespread corruption and there may be civil war (where different factions fight for control).
Examples of failed states are Yemen, or Somalia.
Metrics have been developed to describe the level of governance of states. The precise level of government control required to avoid being considered a failed state varies considerably amongst authorities.
The declaration that a state has "failed" is generally controversial and, when made authoritatively, may carry significant geopolitical consequences.

Palace Maffezzoli (Milan)
The The Palace Maffezzoli or Palazzo Maffezzoli is a palace in Via Anelli 15, Milano, Italy, designed by Guido Maffezzoli
The building is made of bricks and bush-hammered concrete, left exposed strongly influenced by the Rationalist Movement. It is in fact the parapets of the balconies that characterize the facades, through a skilful use of sandblasted bricks that draw geometries that are certainly functional, simple and precise, but not entirely alien to a certain taste for the reinterpretation of traditional elements such as ventilation grids, typical of Lombard farmhouses, to which many of Luigi Caccia Dominioni's contemporary linguistic choices for many Milanese condominiums also refer.
Particular attention is paid to the construction detail, so much so that critics consider the condominium of Maffezzoli and Pellegrini an "exercise of high design expertise and rare sensitivity".
Palazzo Maffezzoli has a particular architectural, artistic, historical and cultural interest.
Kevin Lima (born June 12, 1962) is an American film director who has directed "A Goofy Movie", "Tarzan", "102 Dalmatians" and "Enchanted".

Short-tailed albatross
The short-tailed albatross or Steller's albatross ("Phoebastria albatrus") is a large seabird from the North Pacific. With a wingspan of up to , it is the largest of the Albatrosses of the northern hemisphere. While breeding occurs in large colonies, the adult birds prefer a solitary life. It is a good flyer. 1949, almost all birds were thought to be extinct. When a few were re-discovered in 1951, they were protected. Since then, their numbers have increased, so that in 2022, they are no longer seen as "endangered", but as "vulnerable". Short-tailed albatrosses feed on cephalopods, fish, and crustaceans. They are oportunists, and will also feed on the organic waste ships throw overboard.
Although related to the other North Pacific albatrosses, it also exhibits behavioural and morphological links to the albatrosses of the Southern Ocean. It was described by the German naturalist Peter Simon Pallas from skins collected by Georg Wilhelm Steller (after whom its other common name is derived). Once common, it was brought to the edge of extinction by the trade in feathers, but with protection efforts underway since the 1950s, the species is in the process of recovering with an increasing population trend. Its breeding range, however, remains small.It is a part of the albatross family.
