This frog is large for a tree frog. Adults frogs can be 82.3–89.2 mm long from nose to rear end not counting the legs. This frog has thick, strong front legs. Scientists saw large vomerine teeth in its jaws. The skin of the back and sides is gray-brown or dark gray in color. There is some pink and orange color on the insides of the legs. The skin of the belly is red-gray in color. The climbing disks on the toes are brown in color. Sometimes there are tiny yellow spots on the toes. The iris of the eye is dark red in color.

Scops owls are in the family Strigidae. They are the genus Otus. Scops owls live in the Old World. "Otus" has more species in it than any other genus of owls. There are 59 species. Scops owls are brown, grayish, or reddish in color, but they can have lighter colors on the belly or face. This helps to make them hard to see when they sit in trees. Sometimes, owls in the same species look different from each other. Scops owls are small and move easily. Female scops owls are usually larger than males in the same species. Taxonomy. The genus "Otus" was first used in 1769. The Welsh naturalist Thomas Pennant made it for the Indian scops owl ("O. bakkamoena"). The name comes from the Latin word "" and the Greek word "ōtos" meaning horned or eared owl (cf. οὖς, ὠτός, "ear"). Marie Jules César Savigny made the English name "Scops" in 1809. and it comes from the Greek "skōps" meaning small owl. History. Scientists have changed their minds over the years about which owls should be in "Otus" and which owls are only their relatives.

Lake Natron is a salt or alkaline lake in north Ngorongoro District of Arusha Region in Tanzania. It is in the Gregory Rift, which is the eastern branch of the East African Rift. The lake is inside the Lake Natron Basin, a Ramsar Site wetland of international significance.  A small part of the lake is in Kenya. The lake is mainly fed by the Southern Ewaso Ng'iro River, which rises in central Kenya, and by mineral-rich hot springs. It is less than deep. Its width depends on its water level. The lake is a maximum of long and wide.  In the surrounding area rain is infrequent. Most of the rain occurs between December and May. The total rainfall is about per year. Temperatures at the lake are frequently above . High levels of evaporation have left behind natron (sodium carbonate decahydrate) and trona (sodium sesquicarbonate dihydrate). The alkalinity of the lake can reach a pH of greater than 12. The surrounding bedrock is made of alkaline, sodium-dominated trachyte lavas that were laid down during the Pleistocene period. The lavas have significant amounts of carbonate but very low calcium and magnesium levels. This has allowed the lake to concentrate into a caustic alkaline brine. The lake is home to a number of wading birds, notably flamingoes. They feed on small crustaceans that live in the lake. In some areas, all three species of Alcolapia can be found. Alcolapia are small fish.

Gun laws in Australia are mainly handled by the Australian states and territories. Any guns that are imported into the country are limited by the federal government. In the 1980s several mass shootings caused the government to pass tighter gun laws within all states. Gun laws were largely made the same across the states and territories in 1996. This was done through two government sponsored gun buybacks and people willingly giving up their guns following the Port Arthur Massacre in Tasmania. These actions were largely a success, as more than a million guns were collected and destroyed, almost a third of the nation's guns. Anyone that wants to have a gun in Australia must have a reason to do so which does not include self-defense. They must also have a firearms license and must not be a "prohibited person". All guns have to be registered by a serial number to the owner.  In late 2023, the National Cabinet of Australia decided to implement a national firearms registry within four years.

Homonationalism is a word for an ideology that brings together nationalism and LGBT people or their rights. It was proposed first in 2007 by an American professor Jasbir K. Puar. It describes an adaptation of nationalist ideology, where it also considers LGBT rights (such as same-sex marriage) as part of what makes a nation great. Because of that, it also sees outside groups (such as immigrants, especially Muslims) as a threat to these rights and to the nation. Puar, as someone who is against homonationalism, thinks that this ideology is used mostly to attack immigrants, while at the same time ignoring issues that LGBT people still face in Western countries.

The Hekla 3 eruption (circa 1000 BCE) is thought to be the most severe eruption of Hekla during the Holocene. Impact. It threw more than 7 km3 of volcanic rock into the atmosphere. This would have caused a volcanic winter, cooling temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere for many years afterwards. Claims. Some claim that an eighteen-year span of global cooling that is recorded in Irish bog oaks can be blamed on Hekla-3. Some Egyptologists have blamed Hekla-3 for famines under Ramesses III during the wider Bronze Age collapse.

Scam baiting is when a person online, called a scambaiter, pretends to be a person who is vulnerable to a specific scam and wastes a scammer's time and resources. Method. Internet scams come in many forms, and so scam baiting comes in many forms too. For written scams (scam emails), the scambaiter usually answers the scam email using a temporary ("throwaway") email account, pretending to fall for the scam. This makes the scammer vulnerable to be tricked, since the scammer may do lots of things in order to scam the scambaiter. The scammer may be tricked into answering a very long survey, taking a very long trip, or even downloading a computer virus. Such a virus is often used to take control of the scammer's computer and play pranks on them and expose them. For scams that are performed over a phone call, Scambaiters may pretend to not be able to hear the scammer. This makes the scammer talk slowly and loudly, wasting their time and making the scammer look silly to anyone in the room. The scambaiter may also put the scammer on hold for a long time (possibly for hours) while pretending to take another call.
In mathematics, a solvable group or soluble group is a group which has a subnormal series with abelian factors. Relation with the order of the group. The Feit-Thompson theorem says that every group of odd order is solvable. Every finite group of order 60 or greater, every abelian group, and every subgroup of a solvable group is solvable. Applications. The definition of solvable groups show why the polynomial equations of degree greater than 5 are (in general) not solvable using finite arithmetic operations (Galois theory).
