Phrynocephalus
Phrynocephalus is a genus which includes 36 species of small and medium-sized agamid lizards, commonly called toadhead agamas or toad-headed agamas, that inhabit open arid and semiarid environments of Asia and Eastern Europe. The systematics of this genus are very complicated with many controversial points of view about the unclear phylogeny of this group. All representatives of this genus have adopted the so-called "sit and wait" hunting strategy, and they actively use visual orientation when watching for food. In general, the ecological niche and role of Phrynocephalus species in lizard communities of arid environments of Asia are poorly studied but seem to be similar to those of Phrynosoma, Cophosaurus, Holbrookia, Uta, and Sceloporus in the New World, as well as Moloch in Australia.

Horned lizard
Phrynosoma, whose members are known as the horned lizards, horny toads, or horntoads, is a genus of North American lizards and the type genus of the family Phrynosomatidae. Their common names refer directly to their horns or to their flattened, rounded bodies (squat bodied), and blunt snouts.

The generic name Phrynosoma means "toad-bodied". In common with true toads (amphibians of the family Bufonidae), horned lizards tend to move sluggishly, often remain motionless, and rely on their remarkable camouflage to avoid detection by predators.  They are adapted to arid or semiarid areas. The spines on the lizard's back and sides are modified reptile scales, which prevent water loss through the skin, whereas the horns on the head are true horns (i.e., they have a bony core). A urinary bladder is absent. Of the 21 species of horned lizards, 15 are native to the US. The largest-bodied and most widely distributed of the American species is the Texas horned lizard.

Zhu Shizhen (1281–1344), born Zhu Wusi, was the father of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming dynasty.

Zhu Shizhen was a native of Jurong (in modern Jurong, Jiangsu). His father, Zhu Chuyi, later relocated the family to Xuyi in Si Prefecture (modern Xuyi County, Huai'an, Jiangsu), and in subsequent years Zhu Shizhen moved with his household to Zhongli in Hao Prefecture (modern Fengyang, Anhui). In 1344, when a severe drought devastated the lands north of the Huai River, Zhu Shizhen, together with his wife Lady Chen and their eldest son, succumbed one after another. In 1368, upon the founding of the Ming dynasty at Nanjing, Zhu Yuanzhang posthumously elevated his father as Emperor Chun, with the temple name Renzu, while his mausoleum was established at Fengyang as the Imperial Mausoleum.

Google Catalogs
Google Catalogs was a shopping application for tablet computers, which was produced by Google in August 2011. Google Catalogs delivered virtual catalogs to users from merchants like Nordstrom, L.L. Bean, Macy's, Pottery Barn, and many more.  Merchants were added through a process by which they submitted a form with information and a sample of their catalog, which was then reviewed by Google's editorial team. The application was noted as a "Greener Way to Shop", as the digitization of catalogs substituted for paper versions.

Google announced the intent to discontinue the iPad app effective August 2013 and eventually shut down the project entirely in August 2015, almost half a year after it was announced to shut down.

Marikina River
The Marikina River (Tagalog: Ilog Marikina) is a waterway in eastern Metro Manila, Philippines. It is the largest tributary of the Pasig River, with headwaters in the Sierra Madre Mountains in what was known as Montalban, presently the municipality of Rodriguez, Rizal.

The Marikina River used to be an important transport route during the Spanish colonial era, but its importance as a transport route diminished when the Philippines' national highway system became more established. The resulting lack of river boat traffic and the deforestation of the upland areas in what is now the Upper Marikina River Basin Protected Landscape (UMRBPL) contributed to the river's siltation, further reducing its value as a transport route.

Siltation
Siltation is water pollution caused by particulate terrestrial clastic material, with a particle size dominated by silt or clay. It refers both to the increased concentration of suspended sediments and to the increased accumulation (temporary or permanent) of fine sediments on bottoms where they are undesirable. Siltation is most often caused by soil erosion or sediment spill.

It is sometimes referred to by the ambiguous term "sediment pollution", which can also refer to a chemical contamination of sediments accumulated on the bottom, or to pollutants bound to sediment particles. Although "siltation" is not perfectly stringent, since it also includes particle sizes other than silt, it is preferred for its lack of ambiguity.

Richard Hooper (umpire)
Richard Hooper (born 30 December 1976) is a New Zealand cricket umpire. He has stood in matches in the Plunket Shield in New Zealand and the Sunfoil Series in South Africa.

Prior to the February 2011 Christchurch earthquake, Hooper lived with his wife and their two girls in Rolleston.

Since the earthquake, Hooper has moved to New Plymouth, and found a new partner with whom he had a daughter in 2015.

Umpire (cricket)
In cricket, an umpire (from the Old French nompere meaning not a peer, that is, not a  member of one of the teams, impartial) is a person who has the authority to make decisions about events on the cricket field according to the Laws of Cricket. Besides making decisions about legality of delivery, appeals for wickets and general conduct of the game in a legal manner, the umpire also keeps a record of the deliveries and announces the completion of an over.

The umpires in cricket are not to be confused with the referee who usually presides only over international matches and makes no decisions affecting the outcome of the game.
John Chung Li
Li Chung (1907-1982), or John Chung Li was an internationally renowned internal martial arts Master. He studied Liu He Ba Fa under Liang Zhi Peng in Hong Kong, where he taught the art for many years.

In 1968 he moved to Boston in the United States, where he founded his school, the Hwa-Yu T'ai Chi Health Institute in Chinatown. In 1980, Master Li chose Robert Xavier as his successor. Grand Master Li died in 1982.

Paul Dillon was a lineage heir to Master Li's Liu He Ba Fa Chuan art.  Paul Dillon translated and annotated the Liuhebafa Five Character Secrets, which was later republished by YMAA Publishing.

Paul Dillon translated the "Five Word Song". This was attributed to Li Tung Fung, who inherited the art from its founder, the Taoist sage Chen Tuan (Chen Hsi I).

Master Li Chung did not choose Robert Xavier as his successor in 1980; Xavier was given the lineage from another student after Master Li died in 1982, so Robert Xavier is not a true lineage holder of Hwa YU Taichi.

Liuhebafa
Liuhebafa quan (Chinese: 六合八法拳; pinyin: liùhébāfǎ quán; lit. 'Six-Harmonies Eight-Methods Boxing') is an internal Chinese martial art.  It has been called "xinyi liuhebafa" (心意六合八法拳) and is also referred to as "water boxing" (水拳; shuǐquán) due to its principles.

Although Iran is bound by the Convention under international law, international human rights organizations and foreign governments have routinely criticized it for failing to uphold its obligations under the treaty.
