Mission golden-eyed tree frog

The Mission golden-eyed tree frog, Amazon milk frog, blue milk frog, or Kunawalu casque-headed frog (Trachycephalus resinifictrix) is a frog that lives in Brazil, Venezuela, Peru, and the Guianas.  Scientists think it might also live in Colombia.

The adult male frog is about 7.7 cm long and the adult female frog is about 8.8 cm long.  The skin on the frog's back is dark brown with green or lighter brown spots.  The legs and toes have cream and black marks on them.  Each frog has a triangle-shaped spot between its eyes with one point pointing toward the frog's nose.  The irises of the eyes have a shape called a Maltese cross in them.

This animal hides during the day and looks for food at night.  It spends most of its time in the tree branches.  The female frog lays eggs in water-filled holes in trees.  The tadpoles eat dead plants and other eggs from the same species.

Battle of Chernobyl

The Battle of Chernobyl was a battle in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. This battle was the Russian Armed Forces and the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The battle was on 24 February 2022. This was the first day of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. The Russian forces came from Belarus. At the end of the day, the Russians got control of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant.

Background 

In the Chernobyl disaster in 1986, lots of radioactive materials came from the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. The radioactive materials then went into the environment around it. This area is a  radius around the power plant. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, it became part of Ukraine and was managed by the State Emergency Service of Ukraine.

Battle 
On 24 February, 2022, the Ukraine government said that Russian forces was attacking the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. At the end of the day, the Ukraine government said that Russia captured Chernobyl and Pripyat. After this, the American government said "credible reports that Russian soldiers are currently holding the staff of the Chernobyl facilities hostage."

It was said that artillery shells hit radioactive waste. This caused more radioactivity. The International Atomic Energy Agency, however, said that "there had been no casualties nor destruction at the industrial site."

Reactions 
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the capture of that zone was "declaration of war against the whole of Europe".

Mykhailo Podoliak, an advisor to the President's Office of Ukraine said that it was a "totally pointless attack", and "the condition of the former Chernobyl nuclear power plant, confinement, and nuclear waste storage facilities is unknown".

Analysis 
Ben Hodges, a former general for United States Army Europe, said that the zone was helpful for Russia because it became easier to attack from the North. The former American Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense American Deputy Assistant for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia Evelyn Farkas said that Russia wants to surround Kyiv, Ukraine.

Broken Arrow (military)

Broken Arrow is a call (or request) for all available combat aircraft to attack enemy positions, even those close to the position of US troops. The reason for calling in that order, is because a US position is being overrun and can no longer be defended.

Broken Arrow is a "code phrase (see code), that a [military unit on the] ground ... is facing imminent (or very soon) destruction from enemy attack and all available air forces within range are to provide air support immediately"; That is what Wiktionary.org says.

In movies and books
In movies, the phrase has been used in We Were Soldiers (2002). Its movie star is Mel Gibson. 

Part of the plot of the movie is that, at the point of being overrun by the enemy, the miliary officer (played by Mel Gibson), orders his forward air controller, to call in the air strike, by saying "Broken Arrow, Broken Arrow".

Built between 1879 and 1881, it is about  long. It climbs from about  above sea level at New Jalpaiguri to about  at Darjeeling, using six zig zags and five loops to gain altitude. Six diesel locomotives move most of the scheduled service, with daily tourist trains from Darjeeling to Ghum – India's highest railway station – and the steam-hauled Red Panda service from Darjeeling to Kurseong. Steam train specials are hauled by older British-built B-Class steam locomotives. The railway's headquarters are at Kurseong.

On 5 December 1999, UNESCO named the DHR a World Heritage Site. Two more railway lines were later added, and the site became known as one of the mountain railways of India.

The song was released as a single on August 30, 2012, although it was not added into an album until April 21, 2017, when Lovin' Ya Cowboy was released.

Freedom Convoy 
The song was used in 2022 during the Canada convoy protest. The song was used by counter-protesters to flood Zello channels, to troll protesters at the protests.
