Lucy (Australopithecus)

**Lucy** is the nickname of a famous fossil discovery. Its official name is **AL 288-1**. It is a partial skeleton of a female _Australopithecus afarensis_. This is an early human ancestor.

Lucy lived about 3.2 million years ago and is a hominid.

## Discovery

In 1974 a team of paleoanthropologists found Lucy in Hadar, Ethiopia, in the Awash Valley of the Afar Depression. (The word "afarensis" refers to this location.)

Out of several hundred pieces of bone, they found 47 that came from a single skeleton: Lucy's. This was about 40% of Lucy's entire skeleton, making it much more complete than most fossil skeletons.

The team played the popular song _Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds_ to celebrate their discovery. This is where Lucy got its nickname.

## Description

Analysis showed that Lucy was a young adult when she died. She would have been about 3.5 feet tall and weighed between 60 and 65 pounds.

Scientists do not know how Lucy died. In 2016, some scientists proposed that she fell out of a tree. Others disagreed.

### Bipedalism

Scientists learned a lot about human evolution from studying Lucy.

For example, her skeleton shows that she had a small skull, which means her brain was small, like an ape. However, her hips and femurs were more like a human's than an ape's. This, and many other features in her legs and feet, showed that Lucy walked upright like a human. All australopithecines had small brains and walked on two feet like Lucy did.

This shows that bipedalism came before increased brain size in human evolution. In other words, human ancestors walked on two feet before they evolved larger brains. Before this, many scientists had thought that human ancestors evolved intelligence before anything else.

### Impact

According to Dr. Ebeth Sawchuk from the Cleveland Museum of Natural History:> Lucy’s discovery came at a very important moment in paleoanthropology, when there was beginning to be greater public awareness that Africa is the cradle of humankind. Lucy was one of the biggest discoveries of the time and was critical for establishing funding for this area of science moving forward. Her fossils galvanized the world’s interest in human origins.

Teleportation

**Teleportation** is the supposed movement of matter from one point to another without travelling across the physical space between them. This has been shown in science fiction movies to move objects and people quickly from one place to another. In the real world however, no one knows if and how such a move could ever be performed. Therefore it remains a purely fictional idea to date.

Metroid II: Return of Samus

is a 1991 action-adventure video game made by Nintendo for the Game Boy game console. It is the second game in the _Metroid_ series.

### Storyline

Samus Aran goes to a planet called SR388 when the Galactic Federation told her to exterminate the Metroids that live on it. After exploring the underground areas of the planet and killing almost every Metroid, she fights and kills the Metroid Queen. Afterwards, a Baby Metroid hatches and thinks Samus is its mom. Samus takes the Baby Metroid with her when she leaves the planet.

### Setting

The player sees very little of SR388's surface, and the game is almost entirely underground. The areas are dark with rocky platforms, and has a high amount of lava close to the surface.

## Gameplay

_Metroid II_ takes _Metroid_s gameplay and adds new stuff. It uses the Beams, Morph Ball, Missiles, and special jumps, but adds new stuff as well. The game is very nonlinear and lets the player explore the world somewhat freely. Throughout the world, Samus finds enemies and new power-ups.

Red-necked wallaby

The **red-necked wallaby** (_Macropus rufogriseus_) is a medium-sized macropod, common in  parts of eastern Australia. As one of the largest wallabies, it looks like a kangaroo. Males can weigh more than 20 kg and have a head-body length of 90 cm.

Red-necked wallabies have a black nose and paws, white stripe on the upper lip, and a medium grey coat with a red color on their neck.

Red-necked wallabies are found along the coast and forests of eastern Australia, from Rockhampton, Queensland to the South Australian border; in Tasmania and on many of the Bass Strait islands (many of these may have been introduced to the islands).

In Tasmania, north-east New South Wales and coastal Queensland, their numbers have got bigger over the past 30 years. This is because they are no longer hunted. A lot of forest has been cleared for grass where wallabies can feed at night, alongside trees where they can shelter by day. It is less common in Victoria.

Like most macropods, the red-necked wallaby lives by itself. Groups, also called mobs, share feeding areas. They feed at night and in the late afternoon, generally eating grass and herbs close to forest shelter.

There are two subspecies. The Tasmanian form, _Macropus rufogriseus rufogriseus_, also called **Bennett's wallaby** is smaller, has longer fur, and breeds in the late summer, mostly between February and April. They can live close to people and are seen feeding on lawns in the suburbs of Hobart and other towns.

The mainland form, _Macropus rufogriseus banksianus_, breeds all year round. A female can have babies at the about 14 months old. A baby red-necked wallaby, called a joey, lives in the mothers pouch for 9 months, and continues to feed from the mother till about 12–15 months of age.
Credo

The **Credo** () is part of Christian Mass.  _Credo_ is Latin, and means _I believe_. It is a statement of faith. In Catholicism, the Nicene Creed is used very often; but there are others, such as the Athanasian Creed or Apostles' Creed.

Very often it is sung by the crowd, or by a choir; many people have written credoes. One of them is Antonio Vivaldi
J. D. Salinger

**Jerome David Salinger** (January 1, 1919 – January 27, 2010), better known as **J. D. Salinger**, was an American writer of (partly) Jewish descent. He was best known for his 1951 novel _The Catcher in the Rye_.

## Early life

Salinger was born **Jerome David Salinger** in Manhattan, New York on January 1, 1919.

## Career

Salinger began writing short stories while in secondary school. In 1936, he went to work in Austria, but left 2 years later, just before Germany took Austria over.

Salinger published several stories in the early 1940s before serving in World War II. In 1948 he published the story "A Perfect Day for Bananafish" in _The New Yorker_ magazine, which also published most of his following work.

In 1951, his first novel _The Catcher in the Rye_ was published. It became an immediate popular success.

## Death

On January 27, 2010, Salinger died in his home in Cornish, New Hampshire of natural causes at age 91.

## Personality

Salinger did not like publicity: He never published an original work after 1965 and was never interviewed after 1980. In fact, he told his agent to burn any mail that fans sent him. He also did not want his photograph on the jacket of his books.

## Unpublished books

On November 28, 2013, scans of three unpublished Salinger stories were uploaded to the Internet. It was done by a user of What.CD, an invite-only BitTorrent tracker site. The file was quickly removed by administrators of the site. It is not currently clear how the unpublished material was uploaded, as the original gangster sources came from two different locations (the University of Texas and Princeton). This shows that the works may have been obtained on separate occasions and then put together. Salinger's unpublished works quickly spread over to open BitTorrent sites like The Pirate Bay and image-sharing sites such as Imgur.

Despite What.CD's quick response, Salinger's unpublished writings will forever be available on the internet.
