It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings
It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings is an English expression with a meaning similar to "Don't count your chickens before they hatch." It is commonly used in sports journalism, most famously by Dan Cook. This happened on April 1978 after the first game between the San Antonio Spurs and the Washington Bullets (later renamed the Washington Wizards) during the National Basketball Association playoffs. The Spurs had won the first game, but he pointed out that the series was not over yet, saying, "The opera ain't over till the fat lady sings." (The Bullets won the series, and later the NBA title).
The "fat lady" means the fat Norwegian "Brünnhilde," singing the final tragic song, wearing a Viking helmet. It can also refer to any female opera singer in general. The saying also means that "it's all over" when the fat lady sings.

Pseudis
Pseudis or the swimming frogs are a genus of frogs that live in South America. They are in the family Hylidae. They are important because they have the largest tadpoles of any frog in the world. The adult frogs are not much bigger than other frogs, but the tadpoles are giant. Human beings hear these frogs more than they see them. This is because the frogs sing loud but blend into the water and plants so they are hard to see. The frogs live in lakes, ponds, marshes, and other bodies of waters that have many plants in them. These frogs sit near the top of the water, hiding in the plants or on floating plants. This frog will dive into the water if they see something that looks dangerous to them.
Distribution
Pseudis frogs live in tropical and subtropical South America. Almost all of them live east of the Andes, on the Atlantic side of South America. P. paradoxa is the only species in Pseudis that has any frogs living west of the Andes. These frogs live from Trinidad to northern Argentina but not in Ecuador or Chile. They live in hills and other highland regions, and they live in the southernmost part of South America. All species in this genus are found in Brazil.
Description
These frogs have several body parts that help them live in the water. They have eyes that stick up and out, strong hind legs, and fully webbed feet. Scientists say they are still "true" tree frogs, so they are in the family Hylidae.
Breeding and feeding
Frogs in Pseudis find mates and lay eggs the same way most frogs do. However, their tadpoles are different. The tadpoles start live normal, but they continue growing until they are very, very large, sometimes as large as 22-27 cm in length in P. paradoxa and P. platensis. They are the longest tadpoles in the world. They are also very large compared to the adult frogs, which are 3.4-7.6 cm from nose to rear end. Scientists have not seen enough tadpoles from other species to say for sure, they have seen enough to know they are also very large. Their adult frogs are also somewhat smaller with nose-to-rear-end lengths of 2.4-6.6 cm. However, P. cardosoi and P. minuta (which could be in the proposed genus Podonectes, see Phylogenetic relationships) have more normal tadpoles that probably do not grow longer than c. 9 cm. This is still large compared to the adults of these two species. This means that the animal is the largest it will ever be in its life when it is an older tadpole. It is smaller when it becomes a frog. In most of these frogs, tadpoles from different places can be different sizes. Tadpoles that grow in large, temporary bodies of waters with plenty of food and few animals that want to eat them grow larger than those in smaller bodies of water with less food, or year-round bodies of waters that may have fish or other animals that eat tadpoles in them. The very largest tadpoles usually have well-developed organs, including reproductive organs that are almost ready to be used. This means that the frogs are ready to mate very soon after becoming frogs. This is different from most genuses of frogs: In most species, the tadpoles become small frogs and then grow larger before they can mate and lay eggs.
Pseudis is closely related to the genus, Lysapsus. The frogs in Lysapsus do not have giant tadpoles. In Lysapsus, adults frogs grow to 2.5 cm.
Pseudis tadpoles eat algae, many different kinds of algae. They can also eat small animals without bones, for example insects. The adult frogs eat land-based insects and spiders, but they also eat other animals without bones and smaller frog. Some frogs in Pseudis can eat plants.
Species
There are seven species in this genus if we think of Lysapsus as a different genus. Until the late 1990s and early 2000s, most scientists said only P. minuta and P. paradoxa counted as frogs in Pseudis. Scientists wrote the first paper about P. cardosoi. Before that, scientists thought P. cardosoi was the same frog as P. minuta. All the other species remaining were thought to be subspecies, synonyms or populations of P. paradoxa. Not all scientists agree that P. platensis is not the same frog as P. paradoxa.
Phylogenetic relationships
Scientists argue about how these frogs are related to other frogs and toads. In the 19th and 20th centuries, scientists could only looking at animals' bodies, the way they acted, and fossils to figure out how they were related to each other. Then DNA technology became strong enough to help scientists look at the animals' genes. These frogs were very hard for scientists to put in groups before DNA technology became strong.
Over the years, scientists have said theys hould be in Ranidae, Leptodactylidae, Hylidae, and in their own family, Pseudidae, by themselves. It has been difficult for scientists to say where these frogs belong in taxonomy because their bodies are very different from those of other hylid frogs. The bodies of Pseudis frogs are different from other tree frogs' bodies because Pseudis frogs spend much more time living in water than most tree frogs do.
However, in the early 20th century, scientists did more studies. Both body-shape-based and molecular (DNA) scientific experiments showed that these frogs are more closely related to tree frogs than to other frogs. So scientists put them in the subfamily Hylinae with Scarthyla as a sister group.
Since then, two teams of scientists used molecular genetics (DNA) to find how this frog is related to other frogs. Both teams found the same thing, but they had different ideas about how the frogs should be put into groups: One team said scientists should start using the genus Podonectes again and the other team said they should use Lysapsus as a junior synonym of Pseudis. Later, more teams of scientists said Pseudis was not paraphyletic to Lysapsus, so making Lysapsus a junior synonym would not be good.

Tunisia
Tunisia, officially the Republic of Tunisia, is a country in the Arab Maghreb in North Africa. Tunis is its capital.
Ancient history
Since history has been recorded, there were Berber tribes living in what is now Tunisia. Most of them built little towns and ports along the coastline so they could trade with different travelers from everywhere in the Mediterranean Sea. Most of the travelers were Phoenicians who started to settle on the Tunisian coast during the 10th Century BC. Later, in the 8th Century BC, settlers that came from Phoenicia and regions abroad built Carthage. After many wars against Greece in 6th Century BC, Carthage dominated the Mediterranean Sea.
When the Roman Empire became weak, the Vandals occupied that region. Some of them learned to sail and became pirates. This was in the 5th Century AD, and one hundred years after that, it became under the control of the Byzantine emperor Justinian I.
Islamic Tunisia
In the 7th Century, it was conquered by the Arab Muslims who built a city which they called Kairouan. This was the first Arab Muslim city in Tunisia. Many Muslim dynasties (monarchies) ruled Tunisia. One of the best known dynasties was the Zirids dynasty. The Zirids were Berber people and followed the rules of the Fatimides, a bigger dynasty in Cairo. When the Zirids angered the Fatimides, the Fatimides sent some tribes known as Banu Hilal who ravaged (destroyed and vandalized) Tunisia.
After a brief occupation of Tunisia by the Normans of Sicily in the 12th Century, the Almohad re-conquered it. After that came the Hafsids. In the last years of their reign, the Hafsids became weak and Spain took control of many cities on the coast until they were finally occupied by the Ottoman Empire.
In 1705, Tunisia became virtually independent during the Hussein dynasty, but still had to follow orders from the Ottoman Empire.
French Occupation
Some controversial financial decisions (money-lending) taken by the Bey in mid-1800s in an attempt to repair the country led Tunisia to become under the control of France. Tunisia became officially a French protectorate in on May 12, 1881, but with the strong opposition of the kingdom of Italy because there was a huge Italian community in Tunisia.
World War II
Important parts of the North African Campaign of World War II were fought in Tunisia from 1941 to 1943.
General Erwin Rommel, the German commander in Africa, wished to defeat the Allies in Tunisia, as the Germans had done in the Battle of France when the Allies were inexperienced against the German Blitzkrieg. On February 19, 1943, Rommel launched an attack against the U.S. Forces, with his German and Italian troops, in the western area of Tunisia. That was a disaster for the United States.
After that, the Allies understood the importance of tank warfare. With better supplies than the Germans, they easily broke into the German lines in southern Tunisia on March 20, 1943. On May 11, 1943 the last German troops surrendered, followed two days later by the Italian troops.
Independence and revolution
Tunisia became independent in 1956 with the former Bey of Tunis as King. Prime Minister Habib Bourguiba became the first president in 1957 when it became a republic. Bourguiba focused on education and economic development. He was supportive of women's rights. However, he had a cult of personality around him and most of the power in the country was held by Bourguiba.
In 1987, Bourguiba was removed from power by Zine el Abidine Ben Ali. Ben Ali ruled as dictator of the country until 2011, when he was overthrown in a revolution. The revolution was the first major revolution of the Arab Spring. Tunisia began becoming more democratic, and in 2014, the country held its first free presidential election. The election was won by Beji Caid Essebsi, a secular, liberal candidate.
Geography
Tunisia is in the northern part of Africa. The Mediterranean Sea joins Tunisia in the north and east; the coastline of Tunisia on the Mediterranean Sea is about 1,300 km. Tunisia is also bordered by Algeria to the west and Libya to the south-east.

The government used to control the economy, but now it has sold some public companies. This is called privatization.
Tunisia was also the first Mediterranean country to make an agreement with the European Union. This association agreement was signed on March 1, 1995.
Tunisia has plans for two nuclear power stations, to be working by 2019.

It can also be used in place of ground beef or pork. Chorizo can be fresh. Also it can be dried. It can be spicy or not spicy depending on the recipe. There are many ways to eat chorizo. It can be sliced and eaten as a snack, or cooked. Dishes like stews, soups and rice dishes also use Chorizo. In Spain, chorizo is served as a small plate of food with drinks. In Latin America, chorizo is served with beans and eggs for breakfast. To make chorizo, the pork is cut into small pieces. Then it is mixed with spices and other ingredients. The mixture is then put into a casing. Casing is a thin, tube-like skin. Casing is made from the intestine of a pig. The chorizo is then left to dry for a few weeks. By doing this chorizo gets its special flavor and texture. There are many kinds of chorizo. Recipe of chorizo also different in different countries.

Leopold II of Belgium
Biography
Leopold is mainly remembered as the founder and sole owner of the Congo Free State. He lay claim to the Congo, an area now known as the Democratic Republic of the Congo. He treated the people badly in order to make money. His harsh rule was responsible for the deaths of between five and 10 million Congolese people. The Congo became one of the most infamous international scandals of the early 20th century. As a result, Leopold II was forced to give control of it to the government of Belgium. Despite owning and ruling it as a dictator, Leopold II never visited the Congo Free State and Africa.
Personal life
Leopold II married Archduchess Marie Henriette of Austria, in Brussels on 22 August 1853.
On 15 November 1902, Italian anarchist Gennaro Rubino tried to assassinate Leopold. Rubino fired three shots at the King. The shots missed Leopold and Rubino was immediately arrested. Leopold II had a wedding ceremony with Caroline Lacroix, a prostitute, on 14 December 1909, five days before his death. This was not legal under Belgian law.
He was succeeded as King of the Belgians by his nephew Albert, son of his brother Philippe.

Turkish coffee
Turkish coffee is probably the original way of making coffee. It is a way of making coffee using ground coffee beans without filtering it. The way to make Turkish coffee is by pouring hot water into a pot containing ground coffee beans or coffee powder. Turkish coffee was popularized during the Ottoman Empire. Mocha, Yemen is a city that was used to ship most of the coffee beans, which originally came from Ethiopia. For this reason, Turkish coffee is sometimes called Mocca.
Similar versions are also made in Czechia, Slovakia, Poland, Lithuania, Greece, Armenia and the Balkans.
History
Turkish coffee first appeared in the Ottoman Empire. The coffee was considered a drug and it was forbidden to drink it. But, because it was very popular the sultan eventually lifted this prohibition.
Turkish coffee had reached Britain and France by the 17th century. The first coffee house in Britain was opened by an Ottoman Jew in the mid 17th century.
How to make Turkish coffee
To make Turkish coffee, ground coffee beans are used. The ground coffee beans is mixed with water and boiled. It is boiled in a special pot called cezve in Turkey. After it boils it is taken off the heat and served. The coffee is traditionally served in a small porcelain cup called a kahve fincanı 'coffee cup'. Sometimes sugar is added to the coffee to make it taste sweet.

Their story is told in CP Lee's book When We Were Thin. The name of the band is a corruption of the Latin American band Alberto y Los Trios Paraguayos.
Career
Created in 1973 by Chris "C.P." Lee (vocals, guitar, bass), with Jimmy Hibbert (vocals, bass) and Bob Harding (vocals, guitar, bass, keyboards), the comedy sketch outfit became a musical group in 1974 and was joined by drummer Bruce Mitchell (drums), with Les Prior (vocals), Simon White (steel guitar, guitar) and Tony Bowers (vocals, bass, guitar). They became a popular support act, supporting Dr. Feelgood on their 1974 tour. The group mercilessly parodied the major rock names of the 1970s – "Anadin" was a sendup of Lou Reed's "Heroin". By 1975 they were topping the bill in their own right and were supported by such acts as The Police, The Stranglers, Devo, Ian Dury and the Blockheads, The Buzzcocks, The Cure, The Jam, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Soft Boys, and Blondie. They were promoted by Noddy Holder and Freddie Mercury. As with many comedy ensembles, the Albertos belied their comic aspirations by their exemplary musicianship, and they released four albums and a variety of spoof discs, culminating in the musical play, Snuff Rock.
The band's brand of spoof rock has been said to be in the same English tradition as that of the Barron Knights and the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, but a better comparison might be the American parody singer Weird Al Yankovic.

Plant colour
Plant colours are very noticeable, especially in flowering plants, and especially the colour green. Plants are green because it is a functional colour. They photosynthesise, and the chlorophyll they use happens to be green. However, flowering plants show many other colours. Blue is quite rare, though bluebells are a famous exception. Apparently the colour is difficult to make by the usual plant biochemistry. It is also rare in animals, so if it is difficult for plants to make, presumably it is difficult for animals to make.
Colour can be made in two ways. There are pigments which show a particular colour, and there are structural colours.
Plant pigments make the plants show colours. The main pigments are:
There are also structural colours, although they are less common. They are caused by reflecting iridescent colour from a multi-layered surface. Butterfly wings are a typical example.
Some particular types of animals and plants have evolved colour systems which are unique.
In the course of evolution, many other colourful molecules have been used by plants and animals. In bacteria, dinoflagellates and fungi, for instance, many other colour-causing compounds have been used. Sometimes the colour is just incidental, and sometimes it has a function on the life of the organism.
At first, no animals existed which could see colours. At that stage, colours on plants (etc) were incidental by-products of their physiology. The evolution of colour vision undoubtedly had an effect on the colours of plants and animals, but we have little evidence of this early stage. We know from the plants and animals of today that colour vision is very important.
