The Siamang (Symphalangus syndactylus) is a tailless, black furred gibbon native to the forests of Malaysia, Thailand, and Sumatra.
It lives in trees, that's why it is called arboreal.
The Siamang is the largest of the lesser apes.
It can grow to be twice the size of other gibbons.
Siamangs grow to about 1 m in height, and weigh up to 23 kg.
The Siamang is the only species in the genus Symphalangus.
The Siamang is different form other gibbons.
In Siamangs, two fingers on each hand are fused together, that's where  the name "syndactylus" is from.
Siamangs have large  "gular sacs".
These can be found in both males and females.
The gular sac is a throat pouch that can be inflated to the size of its head.
This allows the Siamang to make loud resonating calls or songs.
There may be two subspecies of the Siamang.
If so, they are the nominate Sumatran Siamang (S. s. syndactylus) and the Malaysian Siamang (S. s. continentis, in peninsular Malaysia).
Otherwise, the Malaysian individuals are only a population.
The Siamang is the only gibbon which occurs sympatrically with other gibbons; its two ranges are entirely within the combined ranges of the Agile Gibbon and the Lar Gibbon.
While the illegal buying and selling of pets takes a toll on wild populations, the main threat to the Siamang is habitat loss in both Malaysia and Sumatra.
Palm oil production is clearing lots of forest, reducing the habitat of the Siamang, along with that of other species such as the Sumatran Tiger.

Albert Bitzius (October 4, 1797 – October 22, 1854) was a  Swiss novelist and pastor.
He is probably more famous by his pen name Jeremias Gotthelf.
He was born in Murten, where his father was pastor.
In 1804 the home was moved to Utzenstorf, a village in the Bernese Emmental.
Bitzius gew up there and  received his early education.
He also had to  help his father to cultivate his glebe.
In 1812 he went to complete his education at Bern, and in 1820 was received as a pastor.
In 1821 he visited the University of Göttingen, but returned home in 1822 to act as his father's assistant.
When his father died in 1824, he went to Herzogenbuchsee as a priest.
In 1829, he went to Bern.
Early in 1831 he went to help the old pastor of the village of Lützelflüh, in the Upper Emmenthal (between Langnau and Burgdorf).
In 1832 he was chosen as his successor.
He  married one of his granddaughters in 1833.
He spent the rest of his life there, leaving three children (the son was a pastor, the two daughters married pastors).
His first work, the Bauernspiegel, appeared in 1837.
It claimed to be the life of Jeremias Gotthelf, narrated by himself, and this name was later adopted by the author as his pen name.
It is a living picture of Bernese (or, strictly speaking, Emmenthal) village life, true to nature, and not attempting to gloss over its defects and failings.
It is written (like the rest of his works) in German, but contains expressions from the Bernese dialect of the Emmenthal.
Unlike Auerbach, Bitzius was not a peasant by birth, but belonged to the educated classes.
He reproduces what he had seen and learnt, and not what he had himself personally experienced.
The book was a great success, as it was a picture of real life, and not of fancifully beribboned eighteenth-century villagers.
His best known work is without doubt the short novel Die Schwarze Spinne (The Black Spider), a semi-allegorical tale of the plague in form of the titular monster that devastates a Swiss valley community; first as a result of a pact with the devil born out of need and a second time due to the moral decay that releases the monster from its prison again.
Among his later tales are the Leiden und Freuden eines Schulmeisters (1838-1839), Uli der Knecht (1841), with its continuation, Uli der Pächter (1849), Anne-Bäbi Jowäger (1843-1844), Käthi, die Großmutter (1846), Die Käserei in der Vehfreude (1850), and the Erlebnisse eines Schuldenbauers (1853).
Lives by C. Manuel, in the Berlin edition of Bitzius's works (Berlin, 1861), and by J. Ammann in vol.
i. (Bern, 1884) of time Sammlung Bernischer Biographien.
His works were issued in 24 vols.
at Berlin, 1856-1861, while 10 vols.,
giving the original text of each story, were issued at Bern, 1898-1900.

Brisingr Review
A mermaid is a mythological creature with a female human head and upper body and the tail of a fish.
Mermaids are said to live mostly in the water, although sometimes they are known to come out of the water and sit on the large rocks above the sea.
It was thought that they would make boats crash with their siren-like calls.
Overview and etymology
The word is a compound of mere, the Old English word for "sea", and maid, a woman.
The male equivalent is a merman.
Much like sirens, mermaids sometimes sing to people and gods and enchant them, distracting them from their work and causing them to walk off the deck or run their ships aground.
Other stories depict them squeezing the life out of drowning men while attempting to rescue them.
They are also said to carry humans down to their underwater kingdoms or drown them.
The sirens of Greek mythology are sometimes portrayed in later folklore as mermaid-like.
But in the Odyssey they are described as birds with women's heads, not women with fish tails.
Some languages use the same word for both bird and fish creatures, such as the Maltese word 'sirena'.
Other related types of mythical or legendary creatures are water fairies (e.g., various water nymphs) and selkies, animals that can transform themselves from seals to humans.
The first known mermaid stories appeared in Assyria, ca.
1000 BC.
The goddess Atargatis loved a shepherd and accidentally killed him.
She was so sad she jumped into a lake to become a fish, but the waters would not let her beauty be hidden.
Because of this, she took the form of a mermaid.
A popular Greek legend turns Alexander the Great's sister into a mermaid after she died.
She lived, it was said, in the Aegean that when she met a ship, she asked its sailors only one question: "Is King Alexander alive?" (;")
The answer was "He lives and reigns and conquers the world" (Greek: "Ζει και βασιλεύει και τον κόσμο κυριεύει").
If they answered her question correctly, she calmed the waters for the ship, but any other answer would make her angry, and raise a storm.
The One Thousand and One Nights includes several tales have "Sea People", such as Djullanar the Sea-girl.
Unlike other mythologies, these are almost the same as humans, except the fact that they can breathe and live underwater.
They also breed with land humans, the children of them being able to live underwater.
Mermaids were noted in British folklore as unlucky omens.
Several parts of the song Sir Patrick Spens is about a mermaid speaking to doomed ships, or telling them they will never see land again.
Mermaids can also be a sign of bad weather.
Mermaids could also swim up rivers to freshwater lakes.
One day, in a lake near his house, the Laird of Lorntie went to help a woman he thought drowning, and a servant of his pulled him back, warning that it was a mermaid, and the mermaid screamed after him that she would have killed him if it were not for his servant.
Warsaw Mermaid
The mermaid, or syrenka, is the symbol of Warsaw.
Images of a mermaid symbolized Warsaw on its crest since the middle of the 14th century.
Mermaid Sighting
Some people claim to have seen dead or living mermaids from places such as Java and British Columbia.
There are two Canadian reports from the area of Vancouver and Victoria, BC, one from sometime between 1870 and 1890, the other from 1967.
In August 2009, the town of Kiryat Yam in Israel offered a prize of 1 million dollars for anyone who could prove that mermaids existed off its coast, after dozens of people said they had seen a mermaid leaping out of the water like a dolphin and doing tricks in the air before returning back to where it had come from.
The prize has not yet been awarded.
One famous image was created by John William Waterhouse, from 1895 to 1905, called A Mermaid (see the top of this article).
It was an example of late British Academy style art, but disappeared and was not found until the 1970s.
It is again in the collection of the Royal Academy.
The most famous in more recent centuries is Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale The Little Mermaid (1836), which has been translated into many languages.
The best known musical about mermaids are those by Felix Mendelssohn in his Fair Melusina and the three "Rhine daughters" in Richard Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen.
Movies with mermaids in them are drama television series such as Charmed.
Animated movies include Disney's popular musical version of Andersen's tale, and Hayao Miyazaki's Ponyo.
A mermaid that had a shield and sword (Syrenka) is on the official Coat of arms of Warsaw.
The city of Norfolk, Virginia also uses a mermaid as a symbol.
In the 19th century, P. T. Barnum showed in his museum a taxidermal hoax called the Fiji mermaid.
Others have made similar hoaxes, which are usually made by paper-mâché or parts of dead creatures, usually monkeys and fish, stitched together too look like a mermaid.
In the wake of the 2004 tsunami, pictures of Fiji "mermaids" came up on the Internet as examples of items that had washed up onto the beach, though they were no more real than Barnum's exhibit.
Sirenia is a type of plant-eating mammal like the manatee the dugong that only live in rivers, swamps, and in other large areas of water.
Mariners used to call these animals mermaids.
Sirenomelia, also called "mermaid syndrome", is a rare disorder.
It happens when a child is born with his or her legs grown together and little or no genitalia.
This, however, is as rare as conjoined twins, and only happens to one out of every 100,000 live births.
It is usually very bad for the kidney and bladder, and only about four survivors were known to be alive as of July 2003.
Mermaids in Thai folklore
In Thai folklore "Phra Abhai Manee" there is a beautiful mermaid named "Praphanpheloung".
She is a beautiful lady who has tail instead of legs.
The story told us about a charming prince who was taken by the giantess "Pisua Samudr" and lived together with her until they have a son named "Sin -Samudr".
One day Sin Samudr went out of a cave and took a merman to his father who was locked in the cave.
The merman knew the story well about a young prince so he want to help him and his son escape from the giantess.
The story also mention about what mermaid look like.
They are very beautiful with long black hair and pale skin.
They love to sing and swim under the moon.
Their eyes can be able to see in the dark but blur vision in the sun.
Thai folklore "Phra Abhai Manee" was written by the famous poet named "Sunthornphu" because of the story happened near the shore so people placed his characters statues such as a giantess, the prince and a mermaid at Rayong, Thailand
Mermaids are shown as characters in movies, including Splash and Aquamarine.

Herman Melville (August 1, 1819 – September 28, 1891) was an American novelist, short story writer, essayist and poet.
He is best known for writing Moby-Dick.
His best known book, Being and Time, is considered one of the most important philosophical works of the 20th century.
It is a very difficult book, even for the German reader.
In it, and later works, Heidegger maintained that our way of questioning defines our nature.
But philosophy, western civilization's chief way of questioning, has lost its way.
Finding ourselves "always already" fallen in a world of presuppositions, we lose touch with what being was before its truth became "muddled".
As a solution to this condition, Heidegger advocated a return to practical life in the world, allowing it to reveal, or "unconceal" itself.
Parmenides (also Parmenides of Elea) (, early 5th century BC) was an ancient Greek philosopher born in Elea, Italy and was the founder of the Eleatic school of philosophy.
His only known work is a poem, but only bits and pieces have survived.
In it, he describes two views of reality.
These thoughts strongly influenced Plato, and later, the whole of western philosophy.
His philosophy was based on materialistic monism.
Materialistic monism is the belief that everything in the universe is made of a single substance.
Parmenides' biggest argument was that change does not exist.
Parmenides' explanation is that we think we see change, but our senses are not reliable, and they create the illusion of change.

Democritus () was an ancient Greek philosopher.
He was born in Thrace, Greece, circa 460 BC.
He was a rich citizen of Abdera, in Thrace, and a student of Leucippus, another Greek philosopher.
He studied natural philosophy in Thrace, Athens and Abdera.
He liked to study geometry and he travelled to many places, including Egypt, Babylon and India.
He wrote many books and never married.
Democritus is famous for his atomic theory of the universe.
He said the universe is made up of two elementsː the atoms, and the space where they exist and move".
He believed that all matter is made up of atoms.
They are eternal, indestructible and invisible particles.
They are made of different shapes, different properties and they are always moving.
He believed the number of atoms is infinite.
Democritus didn't have any scientific evidence.
He had these ideas thinking about them.
However, his ideas were close to the discoveries made 2000 years after his death.
He died ca.
370 BC.
Leucippus or Leukippos (, first half of 5th century BC) was a Greek philosopher.
He was an early philosopher of atomism, the idea that everything is made up of many tiny things which always continue to exist.
Leucippus was born at Miletus or Abdera, although apparently Epicurus said he never existed.
There has long been a controversy about this.
Leucippus may have been the first person to suggest the idea of empty space (a vacuum).
It is difficult to know which ideas come from him, and which come from Democritus.
Mount Olympus (; also transliterated as Ólympos, and on Greek maps, Óros Ólimbos) is the highest mountain in Greece.
Since its base is at sea level, it is one of the highest mountains in Europe in terms of topographic prominence, the relative altitude from base to top.

Laing is known for his theories on the causes of the mental perturbations.
His theory on the "schizogenous" (?)
parents or schizophrenia was to exclude him from the psychiatric orthodoxy of his times.

An alcoholic drink is a drink that contains 0.5% or more ethanol.
In chemistry there is a whole class of substances known as alcohols.
The alcohol used in alcoholic drinks is known as ethanol or grain alcohol.
Grain alcohol is generally made through a process called fermentation.
In fermentation, bacteria change sugar to make ethanol or vinegar.
Other kinds of alcohol are usually harmful to drink, so the only kind of alcohol used in alcoholic drinks is grain alcohol.
Since most people do not have to use any other kind of alcohol except ethanol, they will use the word "alcohol" to mean only ethanol.
Sometimes people also use the word "alcohol" to talk about any drink containing ethanol, such as whiskey, vodka, or gin.
Fermenting grain can only make a drink that is 20% alcohol.
To get higher amounts of alcohol in drinks, distillation is used.
This allows to get substances that are made of alcohol to about 80-85% (Certain kinds of Rum used for cooking are at 70–80% alcohol).
When beverages are sold, the amount of alcohol is listed as alcoholic proof rather than percentage.
Beers, meads and ciders (generally up to about 15% alcohol)
Wines and sake (12–20% alcohol), and
Spirits (20% alcohol or more, distilled alcohol)
Most countries limit the sale of the different kinds of alcohol.
Usually there are two limits, one for wines and beers, and the other for distilled alcoholic drinks.
Alcopops are very sweet, and usually do not contain much alcohol (most have less than beer), but many governments make it illegal to buy them in certain places or at certain times because they have distilled alcohol mixed into them.
They are controversial because some people think that they might be popular among young people.
Drinking ethanol causes a person to feel relaxed.
Ethanol is very commonly used, and has been made by humans for thousands of years.
It is one of the oldest and most used recreational drug (drugs used for fun) in the world.
People may overuse it for the same reason.
The addiction to alcohol is called alcoholism.
Alcoholic drinks can be dangerous.
If a person drinks a lot of alcohol, they become intoxicated, meaning that they get drunk.
People who are drunk may do or say strange or dangerous things and may not be able to control themselves.
The amount of alcohol that it takes to get somebody drunk is different from person to person.
All alcohols are toxic, but ethanol is less toxic because the human body can break it down quickly.
Some strong alcohols can also cause intoxication and impairment.

Amy Lynn Hartzler (née Lee; born December 13, 1981) professionally known as Amy Lee, is an American singer and songwriter.
She is the lead vocalist and co-founder of the rock/metal band Evanescence.
She is also a classically trained pianist and a multi-instrumentalist.
Lee is musically influenced by musicians and artists of different genres, from classical artists such as Mozart to modern artists like Björk, Portishead, Danny Elfman, Korn and Tori Amos.
Lee is the main lyricist and composer in the band and won the National Music Publisher's Association's Songwriter Icon Award in 2008 for her achievements as a songwriter.
As of mid-2007, she is the only original band member who is still in the band.
Lee is the spokesperson of the Epilepsy Foundation.
She started a campaign called "Out of the Shadows".
She advocates for the "To Write Love on Her Arms" organization.
She was chosen as the 2012 recipient of the Luella Bennack award at United Cerebral Palsy's 11th annual Women Who Care luncheon for her community projects and social impact.
Lee ranked at #69 in Hit Parader's list of "Top 100 Metal Vocalists of All Time".
She was #49 in VH1's "100 Greatest Women in Music".
She was listed by About.com as one of the greatest female rock artists.
She won the 2012 Revolver's Golden Gods award for best vocalist, and was named the 2012 "Rock Goddess of the Year" in the Loudwire Music Awards.
Lee was born in Riverside, California.
Her parents were John Lee, a disc jockey, and Sara Lee (née Cargill).
She was named after the 1970s song "Amie" by Pure Prairie League.
Her family moved to many places.
They settled in Little Rock, Arkansas when she was 13 years old.
She has two sisters, Carrie and Lori, and one brother, Robby.
She had a third sister who died 1987.
Lee wrote the songs "Hello" and "Like You" for her late sister.
She is mostly of Scottish and English heritage.
Lee recalls growing up around music and that she and her siblings, took music lessons.
Lee first wanted to become a classical composer.
She wrote "Eternity of the Remorse" on piano at the age of eleven.
She describes it as a "depressing" and "dramatic" piece.
Her first "real" song is "A Single Tear".
It was written for an English assignment for eighth grade.
She wrote the song and recorded it on a cassette with a friend who sang back-up vocals.
Lee studied at Pulaski Academy.
She identified herself as an "art nerd" or "choir nerd" during her high school years and would listen to alternative and heavy metal music.
She joined the school's mixed choir and sang as an alto.
She became president of the choir council in her senior year.
At age 17, Lee wrote a choir arrangement called "Listen to the Rain".
It impressed her choir teacher, who encouraged Lee to direct the choir's performance of the song.
Her direction of the choir during her graduation ceremony received a positive reaction from the audience.
This experience made her feel more accepted for her skills amongst her peers.
The song was also featured in Evanescence's EP Sound Asleep.
Lee described her school years as a "weird fit for [her]" and was "a loner for while".
She believes that this is what inspired her to get into writing, which became an "outlet for all the bad stuff [she] was feeling".
Lee was voted to be on homecoming court, but missed the announcement because she didn't expect to get chosen.
She graduated from high school in 2000.
She briefly attended Middle Tennessee State University to study music theory and composition.
She dropped out to focus on her band.
Ben Moody first met Lee at a Christian youth summer camp in 1994 and was impressed by her performance of the Meat Loaf song "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Will not Do That)" on the piano.
The two started writing songs together and performing at bookstores and coffee houses.
After two of their songs were played on local radio stations, they became more popular in their area and were asked to appear in local concerts.
The band went on to make two EPs, Evanescence EP (1998) and Sound Asleep/Whisper EP (1999).
The EPs were distributed and sold to concert audiences.
In 2001, the band went to Ardent Studios in Memphis to mix a number of demos.
There they met producer Pete Matthews who was impressed by their work and invited the band to move to Memphis and work on more songs while he showcased their demos to a number of labels.
After playing the song "My Immortal" to Matthews' friend Diana Meltzer at Wind-Up Records, she became interested in signing the band a record deal.
The band moved to Los Angeles once they were signed; however, because they were "still young and needed to be developed", they were enrolled in an artist development program for two years before they were given a producer to work with.
During this time, Lee was given classes in stage presence and movement.
She also applied to become a waitress before Fallen was released.
Lee was involved in a number of controversial issues with the band.
Moody left the band in 2003 because of "creative differences" with Lee.
Moody later explained his reason for leaving Evanescence in an interview with MTV "If I stayed, I think Amy and I would have destroyed [Evanescence] because we just weren't heading in the same direction; we were pulling it in two different directions.
It was bad".
Moody also revealed in an interview with Spin Magazine that he had tried convincing her of leaving the band instead "I had tried before, out of ignorance, pride, and resentment, to convince Amy that she should leave.
That we'd be better off and Evanescence didn't need her" and followed this statement with an apology to Lee.
Lee has not spoken to Moody since his departure from the band.
She stated in an interview with Blender in 2006 that she doesn't hate Ben, but they "need to just live [their] separate lives".
In an interview with MTV, Moody hinted towards his advances for mending their relationship by inviting her for a movie along with David Hodges.
Though Lee didn't respond, a representative told Moody that she was actually considering accepting the invitation.
In 2007, she fired guitarist John LeCompt and soon after, drummer Rocky Gray quit the band, making Lee the only original member left in the band.
In a blog post, LeCompt claimed that Lee fired him through a phone call without "any warning or negotiations" and "for no good reason".
Lee defended her choice, claiming that LeCompt "didn't really care about Evanescence at all, and just stayed around for the money" and that she fired him to save the band from being "driven into the ground".
Later, in an interview with Spin Magazine, Lee noted that both LeCompt and Gray's writing "didn't work for Evanescence" and believes they "got bored or frustrated" because of this.
Lee often addresses these issues in interviews.
In an interview with MTV, Lee noted that "there's always freaking drama".
However, since the line-up change in 2010, Lee has stated that the band has become "stronger" and more cohesive.
Lee is the main lyricist and composer in the band, being credited as a songwriter in every song since the release of Fallen.
She also maintains solo writing credits for songs such as Lithium and Lost in Paradise.
Lee claims that during her years as a high school student, she would listen to music that was not necessarily popular at the time.
Her lyrics are often associated to themes ranging from hopelessness, introspection and loss to self-respect and empowerment.
Lee is influenced by a variety of artists and genres.
Her music is often described as a blend between rock and classical music, possessing an emotional and dark character.
During her early years, Lee wanted to be a classical composer after watching the movie Amadeus, which was based on the life of Mozart.
She wrote her first classical composition on piano at the age of 11 and describes it as a "very dramatic" piece.
She also named "Lacrymosa", a part of Mozart's Requiem, her favorite classical music piece.
She credits "The Nightmare Before Christmas" as her "number one biggest influence artistically in every way" and would often sing to "Sally’s Song" when she was younger.
She cites Björk as a big influence.
In an interviews with Revolver Magazine, Lee noted Björk's influence on her lyrics "The way [Björk] uses the English language, probably because it’s not her first language, she uses it for the way the words sound as much as what the words mean.
That always inspired me.
When I’m writing lyrics, I think that way, too.
I want the meaning to matter, but the way they actually sound coming out your mouth matters, too".
She also listed songs such as "Pagan Poetry", "Joga" and "Crystalline" as some of her favorite and most inspirational Björk songs.
Additionally, Michael Jackson was one of Lee's music idols as a teenager and considers him to be highly inspirational.
