The ghost frog is the common name for a family of frogs of the family Heleophrynidae.
The family has two genera, Heleophryne and Hadromophryne.
The common name of "ghost frogs" may be because they live in Skeleton Gorge.
Ghost frogs are medium sized frogs, reaching a length of .
They have flat bodies.
This lets them climb inside rocky crevices.
They have very large toe discs in comparison to their size.
This helps to hold onto rocks.
The mouthparts of the tadpoles are a sucking disc.
This lets them hold onto the surface they live on and remain still while they are feeding.
The ghost frogs are closely related to the Sooglossidae family, which inhabit the Seychelles.
They may also be closely related to the Australian Myobatrachids.

The shovelnose frogs are nine species of frog in the genus, Hemisus.
The is the only genus in the Family Hemisotidae.
The shovelnose frogs are medium sized frogs, reaching a length of .
Their head is small and narrow, with a hard, upturned nose.
The shovelnose frogs are digging frogs.
They live most of their life underground.
The female will dig underground while it is in amplexus.
It then will lay the eggs in an underground hole.
The male will leave through the tunnel, and the female will stay with the eggs.
Once enough rain has fallen, the female will dig, with her nose, towards a water source.
The tadpoles will stay there until metamorphosis.
The tadpoles may stay out of water for up to a few days.
Unlike most digging frogs, the shovelnose frogs dig head first.
Other frogs dig rear first.

Hyperoliidae is a family of small to medium sized, brightly colored, frogs.
It has more than 250 species in 19 genera.
Seventeen genera live in sub-Saharan Africa.
Hyperoliids range from  to  in body length.
Many species have smooth, brightly patterned, skin that almost looks enameled.
Most hyperoliids live in trees.
Some live on land, including several Kassina species that move by walking or running rather than hopping.
Diet varies widely, with examples including Tornierella, who eats snails, and Afrixalus fornasinii, the only land frog known to eat eggs of other species of anurans.
Breeding in this family begins at the start of the rainy season.
Hyperoliids come together at breeding sites.
Most hyperoliids lay their eggs in water.
Tadpoles are pond type larvae with large dorsal fins on the tail.

Mantellidae is a family of the order Anura.
These frogs are found only in Madagascar and Mayotte.
These frogs are very different from each other.
Most species live on land, though some live in trees.
Body size ranges from 3 to 10 centimetres in length.
The genus Mantella has many similarities with the South American poison dart frogs.
Microhylidae is a family of frogs.
There are 495 species in 68 genera and nine subfamilies.
This is the largest number of genera of any frog family.
As suggested by their name, microhylids are mostly small frogs.
Many species are below  in length.
Though some species are as large as .
They can live in trees or on land.
Some will even live close to water.
The ground dwellers are often found under leaf litter within forests.
The sometimes go out at night to hunt.
There are two main shapes for the microhylids.
One shape is with wide bodies and narrow mouths.
The other shape is with normal frog proportions.
Those with narrow mouths generally eat termites and ants, and the others have diets typical of most frogs.
The microhylids of New Guinea and Australia do not have a tadpole stage.
Those who live in trees can lay the eggs in trees, and never go to the ground.
Where species do have tadpoles, these almost always do not have the teeth or horny beak typical of the tadpoles of other families.
Frogs from Microhylidae live throughout the tropical and warm temperate regions of North America, South America, Africa, eastern India, Sri Lanka, south-east Asia, through New Guinea and Australia.
Although most are found in tropical or sub-tropical regions, a few species can be found in arid or non-tropical areas.
They are the majority frog species in New Guinea and Madagascar.
Myobatrachidae is a family of frogs found in Australia and New Guinea.
Members of this family vary greatly in size.
There are species less than  long.
This family also has the second-largest frog in Australia, the Giant Barred Frog at  in length.
The entire family either live in land or water.
None of them live in trees.
These frogs do not have the adhesive toe disc cups found in the tree frogs.
The family is broken up into three sub-families: Limnodynastinae, Myobatrachinae and Rheobatrachinae.
This separation is based mainly on their egg-laying habits.
Those of the sub-family Limnodynastinae lay foam nests.
The female makes foam with a chemical on her skin.
The foam may float on top of water, or be on land.
The sub-family Rheobatrachinae has the two species of gastric-brooding frog, and the rest are in the sub-family Myobatrachinae.

Slinky (also known as Spring) is a toy metal spring that tumbles end over end down stairs and even "walks".
It was invented by Richard James in 1943, and quickly became a bestseller.
Other Slinky toys were developed such as the Slinky Dog and the Slinky Train.
Company president Betty James has always kept the toy's price low so children could buy it.
It originally sold for $1.
Slinky has received many toy industry awards and honors over the years.
Its television jingle is the longest running jingle in advertising history.
Slinky was the invention of Richard James, a mechanical engineer in the United States Navy.
In 1943 he was looking for a way to lessen the vibrations that sensitive equipment endured shipboard in rough waters.
An accident during his experiments led to the creation of a "walking", tumbling metal spring.
Neighborhood children loved it.
James's wife Betty named the toy Slinky after finding the word in a dictionary.
The Jameses had 400 Slinkys made by a local machine shop.
The Jameses put Slinky on display at Gimbels department store in Philadelphia in November 1945.
All 400 units were sold.
Other Slinky products
The Jameses went into the Slinky business.
They invented a machine that could produce a Slinky from 80 feet of steel wire within 10 seconds.
A huge advertising campaign was launched in America.
James showed television viewers how Slinky worked.
Other Slinky toys manufactured during the 1950s were the Slinky Dog, Suzie the Slinky Worm, and a pair of eyeglasses with eyeballs dangling at the end of two Slinkys.
Other companies were granted licenses to produce Slinky toys.
The Jameses divorced.
Richard became a missionary in Bolivia.
Betty James moved the company to Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania in 1964.
She was president of the company from 1960 to 1998.
She kept the price of Slinky low so all children could afford one.
The original Slinky was $1.
In 2008 Slinky cost about $4.
She explained the toy's appeal by saying, "It's the simplicity of it."
Very early in the production history of Slinky, Helen Malsed of Washington developed ideas for Slinky pull toys.
The company liked her ideas and added Slinky Dog and Slinky Train to their line in 1952.
The Slinky Dog was a small plastic dog whose front and rear ends were joined by a Slinky.
Malsed received annual sums of $60,000 to $70,000 per year for 17 years for her idea.
Slinky Dog was reworked in 1995 for Pixar's Toy Story.
James Industries had dropped their Slinky Dog from production, but Betty James liked the new Slinky Dog.
She said, "[The earlier Slinky Dog] wasn't nearly as cute as this one."
The dog's front and rear ends were made in China, and the Dog put together and packaged in America.
The entire run of 825,000 new Slinky Dogs sold out well before Christmas 1995.
The first Slinky television commercial was shown on Miss Patty's Romper Room in 1946.
Homer Fesperman and Charles Weagley wrote the Slinky television jingle in 1962.
In Timeless Toys, Tim Walsh writes that this jingle is the longest running jingle in advertising history.
In 1990 USA Today reported that 90 percent of all adults surveyed knew the Slinky jingle.
What walks down stairs, alone or in pairs, and makes a slinkity sound?
A spring, a spring, a marvelous thing!
Everyone knows it's Slinky.
It's Slinky, it's Slinky.
For fun it's a wonderful toy.
It's fun for a girl or a boy.
It's fun for a girl or boy!
Slinky is a part of the Smithsonian Institution's permanent Americana exhibition.
In 1999 the United States Postal Service issued a Slinky postage stamp.
Slinky joined the Toy Hall of Fame in 2000.
A bill to nominate the Slinky as the state toy of Pennsylvania was introduced in 2001, but not enacted.
The same year, Betty James was inducted into the Toy Industry Association's Hall of Fame.
In 2003, Slinky was named to the Toy Industry Association's "Century of Toys List", a roll call of the 100 most memorable and most creative toys of the twentieth century.
Orange Coast Magazine writes, "[T]he original machines designed and engineered by [James] turn 80 feet of steel wire into a coil in only 10 seconds.
Since its introduction, more than 250 million Slinkys have been sold, enough for every person in the United States to have one.
Stretched out, the wire would encircle the planet more than 126 times."
Sea devils are deep-sea anglerfish of the family Ceratiidae.
They are among the most widespread of the anglerfish, found in all oceans from the tropics to the Antarctic.
The females are large: females of the largest species, Krøyer's deep sea angler fish, Ceratias holboelli, reach  in length.
Males, on the other hand, are dwarfed, only  maximum.
When these fish were first studied, the males were mistaken for parasites.
Females usually have more than one male attached to them, which is a good example of polyandry.
At birth, tiny male ceratiids already have extremely well-developed olfactory organs that detect scents in the water.
The male lives solely to find and mate with a female.
They are significantly smaller than a female angler fish, and may have trouble finding food in the deep sea.
Furthermore, the growth of the gut may stop in some species, preventing them from feeding at all.
This means the male must find a female quickly to prevent death.
The sensitive olfactory organs help the male detect the pheromones from female anglerfish.
When the male finds a female, he bites into her skin, and releases an enzyme.
The enzyme digests the skin of his mouth and her body, fusing the pair down to the blood-vessel level.
The male then slowly wastes away, first losing his digestive organs, then his brain, heart, and eyes, and ends as nothing more than a pair of gonads.
The gonads release sperm in response to hormones in the female's bloodstream.
This extreme sexual dimorphism makes sure that, when the female is ready to spawn, she has a mate right there.
Multiple males can be incorporated into a single female.
Ceratiids are the only animals known to become chimaeras  as a normal part of their life-cycle.
A chimaera or chimera is a single organism (usually an animal)  made of two kinds of genetically distinct cells.
The two types of cells may come from separate fertilised eggs or zygotes.
Chimeras that originate from distinct fertilised eggs fused together are called dispermic chimeras.
When, on the other hand, the genetically distinct cell types originate from the same zygote, the organism is called a mosaic.
Dispermic chimaeras are formed from at least two fertilized eggs or early embryos fused together.
Each population of cells keeps its own phenotype and the resulting organism is a mixture of the two phenotypes.
Microchimerism is a form of chimerism in which a host harbors a small set of genetically distinct cells.
This often happens with blood transfusion or transplants, but also during pregnancy due to the two-way cell trafficking between the mother and the foetus.
Germline chimerism
Marmosets almost always give birth to fraternal twins.
They may have the reproductive cells of their (fraternal) twin siblings.
Placental fusion during development in the womb is what causes this.

Rhacophoridae is a family of frog species.
They live in tropical regions of Asia and Africa.
They are commonly known as shrub frogs.
Sometimes they are called '"moss frogs" or "bush frogs".
Some Rhacophoridae are called "tree frogs".
Most of the species are arboreal.
This may include reproducing in trees.
Mating frogs, while in amplexus, hold onto a branch, and beat their legs to form a foam.
The eggs are laid in the foam.
They are then covered with seminal fluid.
Then the foam hardens into a protective casing.
The foam is laid above a water source, so the tadpoles fall into the water once they hatch.
The species in this family vary in size, from  to .
Like other arboreal frogs, they have toe discs.
This family has the Old World flying frogs, including Wallace's flying frogs(Rhacophorus nigropalmatus).
These frogs have extensive webbing between their hands and feet.
This lets them glide through the air.

A flying frog is a frog that has the ability to glide.
Despite its name, it does not have the ability to fly.
They live their life in trees, high above the ground.
Alfred Russel Wallace made one of the earliest reports of a flying frog.
The species he observed was later described by George Albert Boulenger as Rhacophorus nigropalmatus.

Hurricane Isaac was an Atlantic tropical cyclone that killed almost two dozen people in Hispaniola in August 2012 and moved over Cuba and Haiti.
Isaac then became a Category One hurricane on August 28 and hit near the southeast tip of Louisiana at 6:44 pm that day.
According to the report.
Issac was from a Tropical Wave that moved of the coast of Africa on August 15.
Issac was upgraded to a tropical storm that  same day as Hurricane Hunters went into the storm and found winds more then 50 mph.
Issac quickly exited Cuba and went towards the Florida Keys on August 26 but even though it did made landfall.
It caused heavy rain to the Keys.

The Sooglossidae (Seychelles frogs) are a family of frogs.
They are found on the Seychelles Islands and India.
All of the species are small land frogs, about  in length.
They hide under fallen leaves or in rock crevices.
They lay their eggs on moist ground, rather than in water.
One species lacks tadpoles, with the eggs hatching directly into froglets.
The others carry the tadpoles on their back until metamorphosis.

The purple frog (Nasikabatrachus sahyadrensis) is a frog species in the family Sooglossidae.
It lives in the Western Ghats in India.
Common names for this species are  Indian purple frog, pignose frog or doughnut frog.
It was discovered by S.D. Biju and F. Bossyut in October 2003.
This frog's body is shaped similarly to that of most frogs.
It is somewhat rounded.
It has a small head and an unusual pointed snout.
Adults are typically dark purple in color.
Its cry sounds more like one from a chicken.
The frog spends most of the year underground.
It comes out only for about two weeks, during the monsoon.
This is to mate.
Unlike many other digging species of frogs that feed above the ground, this species eats underground.
They feed mainly on termites using their tongue.
Scientists say that because the purple frog and Bhupathy's purple frog have close relatives in the Seychelles, which are close to Africa, it is likely that the Gondwanaland idea of why the continents are where they are is right.
This idea says that Africa and India used to be one large continent, called Gondwanaland.

The acceleration which is gained by an object because of gravitational force is called its acceleration due to gravity.
Its SI unit is m/s2.
Acceleration due to gravity is a vector, which means it has both a magnitude and a direction.
The acceleration due to gravity at the surface of Earth is represented by the letter g. It has a standard value defined as .
However, the actual acceleration of a body in free fall varies with location.
Why heavier objects do not fall faster than lighter objects
Isaac Newton worked out that resultant force equals mass times acceleration, or in symbols, .
This can be re-arranged to give .
The bigger the mass of the falling object, the greater the force of gravitational attraction pulling it towards Earth.
In the equation above, this is .
However, the amount of times the force gets bigger or smaller is equal to the number of times the mass gets bigger or smaller, having the ratio remain constant.
In every situation, the  cancels down to the uniform acceleration of around 9.8 m/s2.
This means that, regardless of their mass, all freely falling objects accelerate at the same rate.
Surface acceleration
Earth is not exactly spherical.
It is similar to a "squashed" sphere, with the radius at the equator slightly larger than the radius at the poles.
This has the effect of slightly increasing gravitational acceleration at the poles (since we are close to the centre of Earth and the gravitational force depends on distance) and slightly decreasing it at the equator.
Also, because of centripetal acceleration, the acceleration due to gravity is slightly less at the equator than at the poles.
Changes in the density of rock under the ground or the presence of mountains nearby can affect gravitational acceleration slightly.
The acceleration of an object changes with altitude.
The change in gravitational acceleration with distance from the centre of Earth follows an inverse-square law.
This means that gravitational acceleration is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the centre of Earth.
As the distance is doubled, the gravitational acceleration decreases by a factor of 4.
As the distance is tripled, the gravitational acceleration decreases by a factor of 9, and so on.
At the surface of the Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is roughly .
The average distance to the centre of the Earth is .
Using the constant , we can work out gravitational acceleration at a certain altitude.
Example: Find the acceleration due to gravity  above Earth's surface.
∴ Acceleration due to gravity  above Earth's surface is .
Pope Anastasius IV (; c.1073–3 December 1154), born Corrado di Suburra, was an Italian cleric of the Roman Catholic Church.
He was the 169th Pope from 1153 until his death in 1154.
Corrado di Suburra was born in Rome.
He was the son of Benedetto di Suburra.
Anastasius was elected pope in July 1153.
He is known for helping to settle a controversy between the Holy Roman Emperor and the Bishop of Magdeburg in Germany.
