Appearance
The adult male frog is 3.0 to 4.1 cm long from nose to rear end, and the adult female frog is 3.9 to 5.3 cm long.
This frog changes color. During the day it is pale green. At night, it is red-brown, lavender-brown, or orange. Its belly is white. The irises of its eyes are silver-white.
Food
During the day, this frog sleeps on the undersides of leaves. It looks for food at night.
Reproduction
The female frog lays eggs on top of leaves hanging over the water. There are 10-15 eggs in each clutch. The frog may lay three clutches in a night. The eggs are 3 to 3.5 mm in diameter, not including the capsule around each egg. The eggs take one to two weeks to hatch. Then the tadpoles fall off the leaf into the water below.
The tadpoles can grow over 4 cm long. Their bodies are gray and their bellies are yellow-pink.
The tadpoles look for food in the water and on the bottom. They take 69 to 98 days to become frogs.
Threats
This frog has already gone extinct in some of the places it used to live. This may be because humans have changed the forests where it used to live by cutting down trees for lumber and because of disease. For example, the fungal disease chytridiomycosis.

879339 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust%20shooting%20incident | Rust shooting incident | On October 21, 2021, a weapon used as a prop on a movie set in the United States, shot a projectile that killed one person. Normally, scenes on film or TV where a gun is shot use blanks. Blanks make a bang and give off smoke, but fire no projectile (bullet).
The incident at the Rust movie set in the ghost town, Bonanza City, New Mexico, was not caught on camera. The police are doing an investigation (as of 2022's first quarter). Criminal charges have not been made, media said on October 27; "Any decision to bring charges [...] could take weeks or months", is media's understanding after talking to the district attorney for Santa Fe County.
The incident started a debate about working conditions in the film industry, and the use of real guns as props.
Background
There have been reports about workers not being satisfied with working conditions, "and [reports about low safety or] lax safety standards on the" movie set, media said.
The movie has a low budget, of $6–7 million.
The shooting
During the incident, a gun with a caliber .45 barrel - was used as a prop; The gun discharged, and the camera woman Halyna Hutchins was then seen to be bleeding; She later died. The director of the movie, Joel Souza was injured.
When that gun had been handed to Alec Baldwin, the assistant director said that the weapon was safe to use; [Minutes or seconds] after that, the gun discharged while Baldwin was holding the gun.
"In the commotion after the shooting [... the assistant director] found the weapon [...] on a church pew. He [... took the weapon] to [... the armorer] and told her to open it so he could see what was inside. There were at least four dummy bullet casings [... or cartridges and] one empty casing"; That is media's understanding after talking to the assistant director.
The gun from the incident is a "a long-barreled [...] revolver"; It is an Italian [copy or] reproduction.
Investigations
The incident is under investigation (as of 2022's first quarter) by the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office, and the First Judicial District Attorney (of New Mexico), and New Mexico Occupational Health and Safety Bureau.
"After lunch, the film’s prop master" took the gun out of the safe and and gave it to the armorer; That is what the armorer said to the police. Later, the armorer showed the prop weapon to the assistant director "before continuing rehearsal". Investigators say that the movie's assistant director had the prop weapon in his hands, before giving it to Alec Baldwin.
The district attorney of Santa Fe, says that they know who loaded (or put cartridges in) the gun.
Alec Baldwin is free to travel, media said on October 22.
Movie directors, producers, production companies and lawsuit
The movie director is Joel Souza (as of October); The producers of the movie are Alec Baldwin, Matt DelPiano, Ryan Donnell Smith, Anjul Nigam, Ryan Winterstern and Nathan Klingher.
The production companies (for the movie), are El Dorado Pictures, Cavalry Media, Thomasville Pictures, Brittany House Pictures, Short Porch Pictures.
An electrician that was on the movie set "has sued producers [...] and several crew members, [... saying that] negligence led to the [...] shooting", media said on November 10.
The insurance policy for the movie, has a limit of USD 6 million.
It is not known if the rest of the movie will be made; The production of this Western movie was suspended indefinitely.

879438 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison%20of%20American%20and%20British%20English | Comparison of American and British English | American English and British English are the two main dialects (types) of the English language. American English is spoken in the United States, while British English is spoken in the United Kingdom. Both types of English are different to each other in some ways, for example in spelling, punctuation, grammar and vocabulary.
Spelling
There are many words that sound the same in both American and British English but have different spellings. British English often keeps more traditional ways of spelling words than American English. For example:
Most words that end in -our in British English (colour, labour) end in -or in American English (color, labor).
Most words that end in -re in British English (metre, centre) end in -er in American English (meter, center).
Most words from Greek and Latin that are written with ae or oe in British English (anaemia, diarrhoea) are written with an e in American English (anemia, diarrhea). But the British spelling archaeology is still common in American English, while the American spellings encyclopedia (from Latin encyclopaedia) and medieval (from Latin mediaevalis) are common in British English.
Verbs that may end in -ise or -yse in British English (analyse, realise) always end in -ize and -yze in American English (analyze, realize). The Oxford English Dictionary (a dictionary for British English) use verbs end in -ize and -yse (analyse, realize).
Nouns that end in -isation in British English (organisation, realisation) end in -ization in American English (organization, realization). The Oxford English Dictionary use nouns end in -ization.
Most words of French derivation which end in -ogue in British English (analogue, dialogue) end in -og in American English (analog, dialog). However, some words in British spelling, for example dialogue, demagogue, are still common in American English.
Inflected words that are written with double l in British English (cancelled, travelled) are written with a a single l in American English (canceled, traveled). This spelling change is not always followed in American English (cancellation).
Some inflected words written with a silent e at the middle in British English (ageing, judgement) are written without the silent e in American English (aging, judgment). This spelling change is not always followed in American English (changeable).
Some past tense verbs end in -t in British English (learnt, spelt) end in -ed in American English (learned, spelled). The final letter is usually pronounced in both cases.
Because some chemical elements have different spellings in American and British English, IUPAC has to use only one spelling of a word in their papers. For example:
Aluminium in British English becomes aluminum in American English. IUPAC uses the British spelling aluminium.
Caesium in British English becomes cesium in American English. IUPAC uses the British spelling caesium.
Sulphur, sulphate and sulphide in British English becomes sulfur, sulfate and sulfide in American English. IUPAC uses the American spelling sulfur.
Punctuation
Punctuation is the name for the marks used in writing text. Punctuations, for example brackets/parentheses, full stops/periods, quotation marks/inverted commas, have different rules in American and British English.
Brackets/parentheses
In British English, "( )" marks are sometimes called "brackets", "[ ]" are called "square brackets" and "{ }" are called "curly brackets". In formal British English and in American English, "( )" marks are "parentheses" (singular: parenthesis), "[ ]" are called "brackets" or "square brackets", and "{ }" can be called "curly brackets" or "braces". These marks are used in the same way in both dialects.
Quotation
The rules on quoting a text is different in American and British English. In American English, " and ' are called "quotation marks". In British English, " and ' are called "inverted commas" or "speech marks". In American English, it is common to use the double quotation mark ( " ) in direct speech. In British English, it is common to use the single inverted comma ( ' ).

There are many other vocalizations for the tune. "Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah" is seen particularly in the eastern United States and modern Britain. Other manifestations include:
"Neener neener neener" in the United States
"Nanny nanny boo boo" in the southern United States
"Na-na-na banana" in Israel
"Na na na na nère" in France
"Du kan inte ta mig" in Sweden (meaning "You can't catch me")
The initial taunt is sometimes followed by further verses using the same tune, for instance in America "Nanny nanny nanny goat, cannot catch a billy goat" or following "Nanny nanny boo boo" with "Stick your head in doo-doo". In Croatia, children sing "Ulovi me, ulovi me, kupit ću ti novine. Novine su skupe, poljubi me u dupe" (which means: "Catch me, catch me, [if you do that] I'll buy you a newspaper. Newspapers are pricey, kiss my tushie". Context-meaningful words may be applied ad hoc, such as "Johnny is a sis-sy" or "I can see your underwear!"
Non-taunting uses are also seen, also associated with children. One tune for Ring a Ring o' Roses (which is sung to many variant tunes) uses the "Nyah nyah..." musical figure; a common tune for Bye, baby Bunting uses a similar figure.

879721 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith%20Micro%20Software | Smith Micro Software | Smith Micro Software, Inc., founded in 1982 by William W. Smith, Jr., is a developer and marketer of both enterprise and consumer-level software and services. Headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Smith Micro maintains multiple domestic and international offices. United States locations include Aliso Viejo, California, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. International offices are located throughout Europe and Asia. Currently, the company focuses on digital lifestyle solutions and security technologies, and is integrated into the evolving wireless media industry, as indicated by partnerships with cellular service providers such as Verizon Wireless, AT&T, and Sprint Corporation, now owned by T-Mobile US after the Sprint & T-Mobile merger in April 2020.
Corporate history
Smith Micro's initial focus was on dial-up modem and fax software technology, distributing predominantly to OEM computer software/hardware manufacturers. Smith Micro established an IPO in 1995, and became publicly traded in the NASDAQ under the symbol SMSI. Initial stock values were approx. $12.75 per share.
As the company entered the 90's, dial-up internet was quickly being replaced by cable internet, DSL, and wireless broadband due to substantially higher speeds and increased reliability. This change led Smith Micro to venture into wireless and mobile network software. Network connection management became an expertise of the company and, Smith Micro quickly developed products of interest to large-scale mobile network operators such as AT&T, Bell Canada, Orange, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon, and Vodafone. While fax and modem-related products were still a part of their portfolio, the QuickLink Platform of wireless connection managers became a primary source of revenue in the early 2000s.
By 2005, Smith Micro acquired Allume Systems and their StuffIt data compression software. Soon after, Smith Micro acquired Israel-based image editing company, PhoTags. Smith Micro followed with two more acquisitions, (e frontier America and busineSMS.com Software.) By acquiring these smaller companies, Smith Micro rapidly expanded its consumer business presence, however the company retained focus on network and wireless-related products.
In early 2008, the company began to expand its portfolio with the addition of wireless access and mobile services. Smith Micro introduced multiple solutions for enhanced mobile communications, such as push-to-talk software, visual voicemail services, and video streaming. Smith Micro also expressed interest in WiMAX broadband, a newly developed cellular technology which was considered to be a 4G wireless protocol and the replacement of current 3G cellular systems.
In 2019, Smith Micro entered the retail technology space with its acquisition of ISM Connect, LLC’s Smart Retail product suite. Most recently, the company has continued to expand its family safety business through the acquisitions of Circle Media Labs’ operator business in February 2020, and the Family Safety Mobile Business of Avast Software s.r.o in April 2021.

879732 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procedural%20language | Procedural language | A procedural language is a programming language that follows instructions in a sequential manner. Consider the example below:Go to the market
Buy vegetables
Pay water and electricity bills
Go homeIn a procedural language the above instructions will have to be done from the top to the bottom. If one instruction is not carried out the other instructions below it will not be executed.
Examples of Procedural Programming Languages
BASIC
C
Java
FORTRAN
PASCAL
The above languages listed above are considered procedural because of the manner in which they execute when they are run. Consider one example in C programming:#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int num1 = 5;
int num2 = 10;
int sum = num1 + num2;
printf("%d + %d = %d", num1, num2, sum);
return (0);
}
/* Output */
// 5 + 10 = 15As we can see the execution goes from top to bottom. In the event that one instruction is wrong the execution is halted and an error occurs in procedural languages if the error isn't handled.
Advantages
It makes learning of programming languages very easy.
Writing simple programs, testing them and debugging them is very easy when written in procedural manner.
They are well structured which makes readers easily understand what a program is doing.
Disadvantages
Code reuse is not possible. Which bring us to point number 2
Raises development costs due to the inability to reuse code
Testing is difficult especially when the project gets bigger and bigger.
Considering the above pros and cons is important as you develop projects.

879964 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purge | Purge | In history, politics and religion, a purge is a removal from a job or powerful position of people who are considered undesirable or dangerous by those in power from a government, another organization, their team leaders, or society as a whole. A group undertaking such an action is labeled as purging itself. Purging is a form of persecution.
Purges can be either nonviolent or violent; the nonviolent purges are often done by the simple removal of people from their jobs or a powerful position, and the violent purges are often done by the imprisonment, exile, or murder (either through execution through a show trial or through extrajudicial killing without a trial) of those who have been purged.
