Abyssinian cat
The Abyssinian is one of the cat breeds. Its fur is mostly brown color and is short-haired. They are called Abys for short.
It is believed to be a natural breed in Ethiopia, and was brought to the United States and England by a British soldier during the war in 1868. Ethiopia was called Abyssinia at the time, hence the name Abyssinian. There is a legend that they are descended from cats that were kept in the palaces of the pharaohs in ancient Egypt, and although they resemble the cats in the murals, it is not known if this is true. There is also a legend that the Egyptian Mau, which has a similar history, is very similar in shape to the early Abyssinian, with only differents color and pattern, so the two species may have the same origin.
Abyssinians have a slender, lithe body shape. They have long, slender legs and a wide, long tail. They also have small, hard, egg-shaped toes, which is why they're called "ballet cats". It has an M-shaped forehead and a rounded head with a slightly narrow mouth. The eyes are large and almond-shaped with a slight upward slant at the corners. The ears are pointed, large, and curved forward. It belongs to the short-haired breed and has six stripes across its body, also known as the Abyssinian tabby. It has reddish-brown coat, with two or three colors added to a single color.
The Abyssinian's personality is gentle and affectionate, and they follow people well. They are quiet because they don't cry much, but they respond well to human voices. They are also intelligent and loyal. Abyssinians are known as "Puppy cat". It is easy to take it for a walk because of their dog-like personality. They also love to swim.

American Wirehair
The American Wirehair is a breed of American cat. They are characterized by their curly, hard fur that covers their entire body.
American Wirehair is a natural mutation of the American Shorthair. It first occurred as a random mutation among five litters of kittens born to a pair of barn cats in Vernon, upstate New York, in 1966. The red-and-white male had a dense coat, and the cats' owner called local breeder Joan Ocea to see him. She bought the kitten, along with one of his normal litters of cats, for $50 and started a breeding program.
As the population grew, cats were exported to Canada and to Germany, where they were especially popular. The breed bred well and was recognized by the CFA in 1967, and by the Championship in 1978. Wirehaireds have yet to be recognized in England and Australia.
It is characterized by its stiff and frizzy coat. They are few in number and very rare. They are very active and curious. They are very proud and sometimes act intimidated by the presence of other cats. However, they are affectionate and mild-mannered. They are also playful and pampered, and love to play with people and be cuddled. Their coats are frizzy from the kitten stage, but it takes about six months for them to develop a coat similar to that of an adult cat. Although their fur is distinctive, it does not take much effort to care for it, just brushing the coat once a week or so. American Wirehairs have yet to make an appearance in Britain and Australia, among other countries.

Chartreux
The Chartreux is a breed of French cat. It is a very intelligent breed, devoted to its owners, patient, non-belligerent, and independent. It is also known as a calm and reserved cat.
The Chartreux appears in 16th century French literature. It describes a "Syrian cat" with a stocky build, woolly black-gray fur, and copper-colored eyes, which matches the appearance of the Chartreux. It is said that the Chartreux was brought to Europe during the Crusades. The two world wars of the 20th century brought the breed to the brink of extinction, but thanks to the efforts of breeders, it was saved. After World War I, French breeders selected the breeds that most closely resembled the Chartreux and crossbred them with it. By 1928, the breed was once again appearing in European cat shows, but World War II decimated France's native blue cat population. In the United States, the Chartreux was introduced in the 1970s.
There are two theories as to the origin of the name. The French Carthusian monks developed a liqueur called "Chartreuse," which is where the name "Chartreuse" comes from, or the name was given to a Spanish fleece in the early 18th century because of its resemblance to wool.
Chartreux has an unusually proportionate body shape for a cat. Their body type is semi-coby and they are quite large. Its head is broad and rounded, with small to medium-sized ears that sit on top of its head, just inside the edges. It has a sturdy body and slender legs. The eyes are large and round, and their color is mostly copper, but they can also have gold and yellow tints. Their bluish fur is short and dense, with a woolly coat that has a soft, silky texture. Their coat color belongs to the monochromatic section of the Traditional category, and while any shade of blue is acceptable, a silvery tinge is most desirable.

2022 University of Idaho killings
In the early hours of November 13, 2022, a mass murder took place in Moscow, Idaho, in the United States. Four University of Idaho students were stabbed to death in an off-campus three-story rented home. The authorities identified 28-year-old Pennsylvania-native Bryan Christopher Kohberger as a suspect who was taken into custody in Pennsylvania. The investigation has been marked by a reversal of police statements as to whether the community may be at risk, and a lack of apparent progress in solving the crime.
Five female University of Idaho students lived in a rented off-campus home in the 25,000-person rural college town of Moscow, Idaho, which had previously not seen a murder since 2015. A sixth person was listed on the lease but not home at the time of the murders. The three-story, home had six bedrooms; two on each floor.
In the early morning hours of Sunday, November 13, 2022, between 3am and 4am, four University of Idaho college students were stabbed to death in a shared rental home close to campus, in which three of them resided.
Earlier on Saturday evening, two of the four victims, Chapin and Kernodle, were at an on-campus party at the nearby Sigma Chi fraternity from 8pm to 9pm. Both returned home at 1:45am. That same evening, the other two victims, lifelong best friends Mogen and Goncalves, had gone to The Corner Club, a downtown sports bar at Main and 'A' Streets, at 10 pm, from which they departed at 1:30 am. A livestreamed video from Twitch from The Grub Truck, a food truck four blocks south at Friendship Square (Main and Fourth Streets), showed Mogen and Goncalves at 1:41 am, chatting and smiling, getting their food ten minutes later, and leaving to take what the police initially said was an Uber ride home, a trip of about . The police later rephrased their statement to say the ride was provided by a "private party," arriving home at 1:56 am.
All four individuals were home by 1:56am. Seven uncompleted phone calls were made from the phone of Goncalves to her former longtime boyfriend, Jack DuCoeur, a fellow student, from 2:26 to 2:52am. Mogen also called the boyfriend three times with similar results from 2:44 to 2:52am. These calls were investigated with the police concluding they do not believe he was involved in the crime.
The two surviving roommates had returned home by 1:00am, and were in their beds on the ground floor of the home at the time of the murders. They were not attacked or held hostage, and did not awaken until later that morning. The four victims were stabbed to death on the second and third floors in the home, where they had been sleeping. The victims were not gagged or restrained, and the walls at the scene were splattered with blood.
No calls to 911 were made until 11:58 am, many hours after the early morning killings. At that time, a call was made from inside the residence, from the cellphone of one of the surviving students who lived at the residence, asking for aid for an "unconscious" person. When police arrived, the door to the home was open, there was no sign of forced entry or damage inside the home, and nothing appeared to be missing. The two surviving roommates were in the residence when the police arrived, as were other friends of the victims, as the surviving roommates had called friends over to the home because they believed one of the second-floor victims was unconscious and was not waking up. The identity of the 911 caller was not released, and the person was not considered a suspect.
All four victims were pronounced deceased at 12:00 pm. That night, officers came upon Goncalves's dog, which she shared with Jack DuCoeur, alive and unharmed at the house; it was ultimately handed over to what police said was a 'responsible party'.
On Sunday night, the university canceled classes for Monday, November 14; it also scheduled a candlelight vigil to be held on the UI administration building lawn on Wednesday evening, then postponed it two weeks. Fall break was scheduled to begin after Friday, November 18, with classes resuming on Monday, November 28. Many students and other Moscow residents, not trusting the initial assurances of the police and fearing for their own safety, began an early Thanksgiving holiday exodus from the area, while others who stayed were anxious and cautious, and a number of professors canceled their classes. Because of weather concerns, the candlelight vigil was moved indoors to the Kibbie Dome and held on the evening of Wednesday, November 30.
The investigation of the murders is being conducted by the Moscow police (who had in their force four detectives and 24 patrol officers working on it), supported by the Idaho State Police (20 investigators, 15 troopers, and a Forensics Services and mobile crime scene team), the FBI (22 investigators, 20 assigned agents, and 2 Behavior Analysis Units), and the Latah County Sheriff's Office. In all, almost 130 members of law enforcement from three different agencies began working on the case. A phone tip line and email were created for students and others to submit potential evidence to officials. By December 5, it was reported that there had been more than 2,600 emailed tips, 2,700 phone calls, and 1,000 digital media submissions from the public to these tip lines.
The Latah County coroner conducted autopsies on the four victims on November 17. She said they all appeared to have been stabbed multiple times (with fatal wounds in the chest and upper body) with a large knife (if not the same knife, very similar ones). At least one victim (with what were apparently defensive stab wounds on her hands) and possibly more appear to have tried to fend off their attacker, and the victims may have been attacked while sleeping in their beds. None showed signs of sexual assault, and toxicology reports are pending. All four deaths were deemed homicide by stabbing. They were not tied and gagged. No weapon has been recovered, though the police believe the killer or killers used a fixed-blade knife.
The police have ruled out: (a) a fellow student wearing a white hoodie seen in the video footage speaking to Mogen and Goncalves by the food truck; (b) the person who drove Mogen and Goncalves home; (c) the two surviving roommates, who were home during the killings; and (d) Goncalves's former long term boyfriend whom she and Mogen had called a total of ten times that night. The authorities left open the possibility that there could be more than one perpetrator. In a November 23 press conference, the Moscow police chief said that authorities had received a number of tips including that Goncalves allegedly had a stalker, but were unable to verify that claim or identify any such individual at that time.
On December 27th, a screengrab was posted on Reddit, showing Gonclaves and Mogen conversing with a patron at a local bar, the Corner Club, at 1:32 am on the night of the killings. Moscow Police reported that they have reviewed the footage but provided no other information.
In the early morning hours of December 30th, authorities in Monroe County, Pennsylvania outside Stroudsburg, announced that they had taken a suspect into custody. The person, identified as 28-year-old Bryan Christopher Kohberger of Albrightsville, Pennsylvania (born November 21, 1994), was referred to as a person of interest in the investigation.
Kohberger's previous life before the massacre has not been detailed yet, but Kohberger was a former graduate at the Washington State University in Pullman, Washington, and had pursued his Ph.D. in criminal justice and criminology.
The incident has been marked by a reversal of police statements as to whether the community might be at risk, and a perceived lack of apparent progress in solving the crime. From the day of the killings, investigators initially said that there was no risk to the community. Three days later, however, Moscow Police Chief James Fry said: "We cannot say that there is no threat to the community."

Slavery in contemporary Africa
Africa has a long history of slavery. Slavery proably existed there even before there was writing. Even today, it is one of the regions affected by contemporary slavery. The slave trade intensified with the trans-Saharan and Indian Ocean slave trade and again with the trans-Atlantic slave trade; Because there was a high demand for slaves, this created a number of kingdoms in the Sahel-zone. These kingdoms were at war with each other all the time, as this was the only way to get prisoners of war, which could be turned into slaves to be exported. During the age of colonialism in Africa, in the 18th and 19th centuries,as well as the early 20th century, these patterns continued. The colonial authorities tried to stop slavery, starting from about 1900, but they were not very successful. After decolonization, slavery continued in many parts of Africa even though it is technically illegal.
Slavery in the Sahel region and the Horn of Africa exists along racial and cultural boundaries: There are Arabized Berbers in the north, and darker Africans in the south.
In the Sahel states of Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Chad and Sudan there is a concept called hereditary servitude: One family serves another family. This is passed on from the parents to the children. The pattern is centuries old, and slavery can make use of it. Other forms of slavery exist in parts of Ghana, Benin, Togo and Nigeria. Other forms of slavery in Africa involve human trafficking, the recruiting or enslavement of child soldiers and child labourers. Human trafficking occurs in Togo, and children are trafficked from Togo, Benin and Nigeria to Gabon and Cameroon.
According to the Anti-Slavery-Society, modern day slavery in Africa means that whole groups of people are exploited, even when this is not called "slavery".
Forced labor in Sub-Saharan Africa is estimated at 660,000. This includes people involved in the illegal diamond mines of Sierra Leone and Liberia, which is also a direct result of the civil wars in these regions. In 2017, the International Labour Office estimated that 7 in every 1,000 people in Africa are victims of slavery.
While institutional slavery has been banned worldwide, there are many reports of female sex slaves in areas without an effective government control, such as Sudan and Liberia, Sierra Leone, northern Uganda, Congo, Niger and Mauritania. In Ghana, Togo, and Benin, a form of (forced) religious prostitution known as "trokosi" ("ritual servitude") forcibly keeps thousands of girls and women in traditional shrines as "wives of the gods", where priests perform the sexual function in place of the gods.
Forced labor, which can be different from slavery, is defined as any work or services which people are forced to do against their will under the threat of some form of punishment. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the indigenous people are usually victims of their Bantu neighbors, who have replaced the positions once held by Arabs and Europeans.
In April 2014, Boko Haram kidnapped 276 female students from Chibok, Borno. More than 50 of them soon escaped, but the others have not been released. Instead, the leader of Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau, announced his intention of selling them into slavery.

In a voice memo recorded before his murder, X said "I feel like tying her into it makes the video amazing, and it almost, like, really captures everyone's minds and gives me the power that I truly deserve."
Raorchestes chlorosomma
The green-eyed bush frog ("Raorchestes chlorosomma") is a frog. It lives in India. Scientists have seen it exactly one place in the Western Ghat mountains. People have seen it between 1400 and 1800 meters above sea level.
This frog lives in evergreen forests up in the mountains. These forests are called sholas. Sholas only grow in the Western Ghat mountains. People have also seen these frogs in tea farms and forests that grow back after they were cut down.
Scientists say this frog is in danger of dying out. This is because it lives in such a small place and human beings continue to change these places, especially to make farms for tea, eucalyptus, and wattle. Scientists also think climate change could hurt this frog. Because it lives high in mountains, the frog cannot move north when the weather gets hotter the way other animals could.

This frog lives in grassy places and in places with low, woody plants. People have also seen it in forests, gardens, and next to roads. Scientists saw this frog sitting on plants near the ground. The female frog lays eggs in cracks in rocks or near grass. This frog hatches out of its egg as a small frog and never swims as a tadpole.
Scientists think this frog is not in danger of dying out because even though it does not live in a large place, only small parts of that place are in danger.
