Chorus frog
Pseudacris (the chorus frogs) is a genus of frogs in the family Hylidae. They live in North America. They live as far west as the Pacific coast and as far east as the Atlantic coast.
The name comes from the Greek word "pseudes" (false) and "akris" (locust). Scientists might have named these frogs false-locust because the frog's voices sound like locust's voices: a repeated rasping trill sound. They also might have named these frogs false-"Acris" because there is another frog genus called "Acris".
Scientists disagree about which species should be in this genus. Because these frogs can hybridize, meaning make healthy young together, molecular genetic research cannot help much.
Frost "et al." list 19 species in this genus, and AmphibiaWeb lists 17 species, leaving out "P. hypochondriaca" and "P. sierra":
Chorus frogs live anywhere in North America from southern Alaska to southern Baja California, and from the Pacific to the Atlantic.

Jesus and the woman caught in adultery
In the story, Jesus was teaching in the Second Temple after coming from the Mount of Olives. A group of scribes (record keepers) and Pharisees (Jewish teachers) interrupt Jesus and speak to him. These people do not like Jesus, so they want to trick him into saying something wrong. They bring in a woman and say she was caught in adultery: having sex with a man while married to another man. They say that for punishment, she should be killed by stoning, according to the law of Moses. They ask Jesus for his answer. He starts to write something on the ground with his finger, but when they ask him again, he answers. He says that a person who has never sinned (done something bad) should throw the first stone. The scribes and Pharisees know that they have all sinned, so they leave. Jesus asks the woman if anyone has condemned her, and she answers no. Jesus says that he, also, does not condemn her. He tells her to go and sin no more.
The ideas in this story are important in Christian thought. There is a message of mercy and forgiveness, and a call for holy living, without sin. The phrases "go and sin no more" and to "cast the first stone" are in common use.
Most scholars agree that this story was not in the earliest versions of the Gospel of John. It was added later. Scholars learned this by reading these early versions, or manuscripts.
