Partula affinis is a species of land snail in the genus Partula. According to the IUCN, it is critically endangered. The species is also known as the similar partula.
Partula is a genus of land snails, constituting over 100 species of arboreal land snails native to French Polynesia and neighboring islands. Their decline and extinction is the result of failed biological control. The giant African land snail was introduced to French Polynesia as a food source, which escaped and began destroying crops. The rosy wolfsnail was subsequently introduced to eat and eradicate the giant African land snail. It instead chose to eat the 100 species of Partula endemic to the islands, resulting in an accidental mass extinction event within French Polynesia. Some species were successfully saved by scientists who collected the last live individuals from French Polynesia and took them into captivity for breeding. Others have been resilient enough to survive in the wild. Notable species. "Partula affinis", which survived in a valley the rosy wolfsnail never reached. It is believed to be a closely related species to "Partula otaheitana". "Partula clara", which continues to survive in some areas. "Partula exigua", the first species of Partula to become extinct, a predatory snail itself which ate other native snails. These prey snails' populations increased after its extinction. It was named for being the smallest Partula species. "Partula faba", the first species of Partula to be described, which was taken into capitivity but failed to breed. The last died in 2016. "Partula hebe", which is a successfully bred species. The last 9 snails were collected and bred, and have been reintroduced to the wild over 20 years later. "Partula hyalina", which is an extremely resilient species. It continues to survive in the prescence of the rosy wolfsnail as well as on several islands the rosy wolfsnail was not introduced to. "Partula otaheitana", the second Partula species to be described, after "Partula faba". Closely related to "Partula affinis". "Partula rosea" and "Partula varia", two species native to Huahine. These two species were used by the

Coal liquefaction is a process of changing coal into liquid hydrocarbons: liquid fuels and petrochemicals. This process is often known as "Coal to X" or "Carbon to X", where X can be many different hydrocarbon-based products. However, the most common process chain is "Coal to Liquid Fuels" (CTL) Coal liquefaction is the process of converting solid coal into liquid fuel. This process has been developed as a means to utilize coal resources that are otherwise difficult to access and transport. The resulting liquid fuel, called synthetic crude oil, can be refined into a variety of fuels, including diesel, gasoline, and aviation fuel. The process of coal liquefaction involves heating and pressurizing coal in the presence of a solvent. The solvent is used to extract the liquid components of the coal, which are then condensed and processed into synthetic crude oil. The crude oil can then be refined into various fuels, depending on the specific needs of the market. While coal liquefaction has the potential to provide a significant source of energy, there are also significant environmental and economic concerns associated with the process. For example, the process releases significant amounts of greenhouse gases, contributing to climate change. Additionally, the process is energy-intensive and often requires large amounts of water, leading to concerns about water scarcity in certain regions. The high costs associated with coal liquefaction also make it less economically viable than traditional crude oil production. Despite these concerns, coal liquefaction continues to be an area of research and development in the energy industry. Researchers are working to develop more efficient and environmentally sustainable methods of coal liquefaction, with the goal of reducing the environmental impact of the process and making it more economically viable. In conclusion, coal liquefaction has the potential to provide a significant source of energy, but also has significant environmental and economic concerns. Further research and development is needed to make the process more sustainable and economically viable, and to ensure that the energy produced from coal liquefaction is used in a responsible and sustainable manner. Specific liquefaction technologies generally fall into two categories: direct (DCL) and indirect liquefaction (ICL) processes.

Mary Sue is a term used to describe a character in stories, especially fan fiction, who is almost perfect and often better than other characters. Mary Sue characters are criticized because they don't have flaws and can seem too powerful. Usually, people use this term for female characters, but there are other names for male characters like this too. Where the term came from. A woman named Paula Smith made up the term "Mary Sue" in 1973. She published a magazine with Star Trek fan stories, and many of the writers were women. Smith noticed that some of these writers wanted to imagine themselves in the story, so they made the main characters, like and Spock, love their own characters. In 1974, Smith wrote a funny story called "A Trekkie's Tale" to make fun of this. The story was about a girl named Mary Sue who became a very important person in the "Star Trek" universe at a young age. Captain Kirk fell in love with her, and she saved the day but died doing it.  How the term is used. After "A Trekkie's Tale," people started using the term "Mary Sue" for other stories too. They would say a character was a Mary Sue if they seemed too perfect or if they felt like the author put themselves into the story. This happened in fan fiction for other things like "Star Wars" too.

Downtempo (sometimes known as "chill out", "chill" or "downbeat") is a music style with electronic music. It is similar to ambient music, but usually with a beat or groove.  The tempo, as well as the drum patterns of each track can vary. Sometimes the beat can be restrained and/or simple. Sometimes the beats are more complicated and more featured instead of being in the background, but even then they are usually less intense than other kinds of electronic music like trance and house. The tempo is often slower than that of traditional electronic dance music. Often the name chill-out music is used to refer to songs demonstrative of the genre, but those names also refer to other styles of music, and downtempo encompasses a wider variety of styles than those terms alone would indicate. Because of the relaxing and often sensual or romantic feel of most downtempo music, it is a popular form of background music in 'chill out rooms' of dance parties, and many alternative cafes.

Matityahu son of Yochanan was angry about this so he decided to lead a rebellion against Antiochus. Then Matityahu died so his son, Judah Maccabee led the revolt against Antiochus. Antiochus lost the war to the Maccabees. Death. Shortly after the Maccabean Revolt, Antiochus got sick and died. Legacy.

"Beloved Isle Cayman" is the National Song of the Cayman Islands. Lyrics. &lt;poem&gt;O land of soft, fresh breezes And verdant trees so fair, With the Creator's glory Reflected ev'rywhere, O sea of palest em'rald, Merging to darkest blue, Whene'er my thoughts fly Godward, I always think of you. Dear, verdant island, set in blue Caribbean Sea, I'm coming, coming very soon, o beautious isle, to thee. Although I wandered far, My heart enshrines thee yet. Homeland, fair Cayman Isle, I cannot thee forget. Away from noise of cities, Their fret and carking care, With moonbeams' soft caresses, Unchecked by garish glare, Thy fruit with rarest juices, Abundant, rich and free, When sweet church bells are chiming, My fond heart yearns for thee.  When tired of all excitement And glam'rous worldly care, How sweet thy shores to reach And find a welcome there, And when comes on the season Of peace, goodwill to man, 'Tis then I love thee best of all, Beloved Isle Cayman.&lt;/poem&gt;
