Western water-holding frog

The western water-holding frog is a frog from Australia. Scientists are not sure whether it should be called Ranoidea occidentalis or Cyclorana occidentalis. It lives in Western Australia.
The adult male frog is 6.0 cm long and the adult female frog is 7.0 cm long. It has a flat body. The frog lives in places where the ground is dry. It has webbed feet and spends much of its time in the water. Because it has such a wide head, scientist think this frog eats other frogs. They think it eats them when they come to lay eggs in the same temporary bodies of water where the western water-holding frog lays its eggs.
This frog has young when it rains. The female lays eggs in bodies of water that dry up quickly, 500 at a time.
The tadpoles are 8.0 cm long. Once they become young frogs, they are 3.5 cm long.

Romanization of Ukrainian

Romanization or Latinization of Ukrainian is how to write the Ukrainian language in Latin letters. Latin letters are the type that are currently used for this article.
This makes the language easier for non-Ukrainian people to read and pronounce.
There are two different kinds of Romanization. These methods are transliteration, representing written text, and transcription, representing the spoken words.
Transliteration
Transliteration is the letter-for-letter representation of text using a Latin writing system.
The International scholarly system, also called scientific transliteration, is most often seen in linguistic publications about Slavic languages. Each character represents one phoneme, one meaningful unit of sound. This is based on the Croatian Latin alphabet.
Transcription
Transcription is the representation of the spoken word. Phonetic transcription represents every single sound, or phone, and can be used to compare different dialects of a language. It is more specifed as the Transliteration.
Table of latinization Ukrainian letters
a Notes for the Ukrainian National system
Transliteration can be rendered in a simplified form:
Doubled consonants zh, kh, ts, ch, sh are simplified, for example Zaporizhzhia-Zaporizhia.
Apostrophe and soft sign are omitted, except for 'o and 'yi which are always rendered as 'o and 'i.
b. gh is used in the romanization of zg (zgh), avoiding confusion with zh (zh).
c. The second variant is used at the beginning of a word.

Islam in Niger

Islam in Niger began to spread around a thousand years ago. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Islam became more common than Niger's traditional religions. Since then, Sufi brotherhoods have become the most common and powerful Muslim organisations. This happened in many West African countries.
More than 90% of the people in Niger (or 9 out of every 10 people) are Muslims. Most of the rest of Niger's people are Animists. However, these numbers are not exact. In Niger, many of the people who practice traditional religions have mixed some beliefs from Islam into their religions. Because of this, there are many different ways of understanding and practicing Islam in Niger. So, it is hard to say exactly how many people practice each religion.
The government of Niger is secular, or separate from any religion. At the same time, the government recognizes that Islam is the most popular religion in the country.

Arthur Bliss

Sir Arthur Bliss CH KCVO (London, 2 August 1891; died London, 27 March 1975) was a British composer (a person who writes music). When he started composing, his music sounded very modern and harsh. As he got older he changed his style and wrote more Romantic music in the style of English composer Edward Elgar. For more than twenty years he was Master of the Queen's Music.
Early life
His father was American, his mother was English. He went to school at Rugby. He went to Cambridge University where he studied with Irish composer Charles Wood. Wood also taught the composer Ralph Vaughan Williams. Bliss got to know Elgar whose music influenced him very much.
For a short time he learned music from Charles Villiers Stanford at the Royal College of Music. During World War I he served in the army.
After World War 1
After the war he started to play his music in public. These compositions show the influence of Stravinsky, Ravel and Les Six. His music even sounded jazzy. After a few years his music became more Romantic. Elgar asked him to write something for the Three Choirs Festival in 1922. The piece he composed was his Colour Symphony in which he tries to describe colours in music.
During the 1920s his music became more traditional. He wrote a lot of music for movies including music for the movie Things to Come (H.G.Wells). He loved the theatre and composed music for the ballets Checkmate and Miracle in the Gorbals. One of his best works is the choral symphony Morning Heroes (1930). This was written to remember those who were killed in World War I.
America
When World War II started he was in the USA. He stayed there and taught at Berkeley, California until 1941. Then he returned to England. For a time he was Director of Music of the BBC. He wrote an opera The Olympians. In 1953 he was made Master of the Queen's Music. He kept that position until his death, writing many pieces of music for official royal occasions.
He was given many honours, including the Companion of Honour and the Royal Victorian Order.
In his later years he composed several works for orchestra as well as for choirs.
He died on 27 March 1975. His wife, Gertrude died on 21 November 2008 at the age of 104.

Xi Shun served in the People's Republic of China army but got discharged because of rheumatism. He once saved some dolphins' lives by getting pieces of plastic from their stomachs that veterinarians could not reach. Radhouane Charbib was the tallest man by Guinness world records until Bao Xishun beat his record on 15 January 2005. That is where he was measured 2 millimetres taller in the Chifeng Hospital in China.

Borrelia

Borrelia is a spirochaete bacterium which causes Lyme disease.
Today, 36 species of Borrelia are known. 12 of these cause borreliosis, a zoonotic, vector-borne disease transmitted primarily by ticks or lice. The vector of transmission is dependent on the species of Borrelia. Borreliosis is also known as Lyme disease. Borrelia burgdorferi and Borrelia afzelii are among the species that cause Lyme disease. Other species such as Borrelia hermsii or Borrelia parkeri cause relapsing fever. In this case, the vector are ticks, which are spread by rodents.
