Terrazas fought during the Chaco War, where he earned several promotions in rank. He was one of the few military personnel from Bolivia to actively participate in the Korean War, for which he received the Legion of Merit in 1951 for "for exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding services to the Government of the United States". Because of his political affiliations, he was exiled when the Revolutionary Nationalist Movement took power in 1952. Three years later, he was assassinated most likely because of his continued support for the opposition in Bolivia. |

In 1946, he was appointed Commanding General of the Army during a time of institutional crisis, which he successfully navigated. He left the position in 1949 and took on the role of Military Attaché at the Embassy of Bolivia in Washington, D.C..

With the Revolutionary Nationalist Movement in power, Terrazas was recalled to Bolivia. Harassed by his detractors within the Armed Forces, in 1952 he went into exile in the Republic of Peru. There, he lived in Lima, where he managed a prestigious industrial company. |

Oxneriopsis | 75,675,455 | Oxneriopsis is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Teloschistaceae. It has four species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), crustose lichens. |
|
Oxneriopsis | 75,675,455 | Taxonomy | The genus was circumscribed in 2017 by the lichenologists Sergey Kondratyuk, Dalip Kumar Upreti, and Jae-Seoun Hur, with Oxneriopsis oxneri assigned as the type species. The genus name honours the Ukrainian lichenologist Alfred Mycolayovych Oxner (1898–1973). |
Oxneriopsis | 75,675,455 | Description | Oxneriopsis features crustose lichens with a thallus that can be continuous, cracked, or divided into small, isolated units (areoles). Often, this thallus forms vegetative reproductive structures (propagules), known as phyllidia or schizidia, which are typically bright yellow or greenish-yellow, contrasting with the greyish or greenish-grey background of the main thallus. |
Oxneriopsis | 75,675,455 | Description | Their fruiting bodies (apothecia) vary from lecanorine (with a thalline margin) to zeorine (without a thalline margin), and exhibit a range of colours from yellow and orange-brown to dark brown or even blackish brown. The thalline margin of the apothecia is usually a striking bright yellow. The hymenium, the tissue layer containing the spore-producing asci, is interspersed with oil. Each ascus typically contains eight spores that are polarilocular (having two distinct chambers) and hyaline (translucent). The conidia (asexual spores) of Oxneriopsis are rod-shaped (bacilliform), measuring between 2.5 and 3.5 μm in length and 0.8 to 1 μm in width. |
Oxneriopsis | 75,675,455 | Description | Chemically, the genus is noted for the presence of fragilin in some species, but the chemical composition across all species within the genus is not thoroughly studied. |

Shadows on a Dime | 75,675,511 | Shadows on a Dime is a folk-rock album by the Canadian singer-songwriter Ferron. It was originally released in 1984 on the independent label Lucy Records; subsequently it has been re-released on LP, CD and cassette by Redwood Records and Cherrywood Station. |
|
Shadows on a Dime | 75,675,511 | Track listing | All songs written by Ferron. The tracks on the CD are on the same order as on the LP. |
Shadows on a Dime | 75,675,511 | Critical reception | Don Shewey in Rolling Stone called the album "a feast of excellent musicianship and fine songwriting" and "a thing of beauty" and says of the production, "The album's many moods are superbly reflected in Terry Garthwaite's production, and ideal instrumental touches keep the more contemplative songs from sounding drab". |
Shadows on a Dime | 75,675,511 | Critical reception | The Washington Post published a good review which compares the album favourably with other albums released by other artists associated with the "Women's music" genre at the time, including Barbara Higbie and Teresa Trull who appear on this album: "With her haunting folk drone, her jabbing gypsy guitars and fiddles, her torrents of metaphors (and her descriptions of lesbian relationships), she challenges the field as it's never been challenged before. She is the first major artist to emerge from its ranks," wrote Geoffrey Himes. The album "fulfills the potential hinted at on 1980's 'Testimony'", he writes. Regarding how her songs address friends facing difficulties in relationships he writes, "With a courage too rare in pop music, Ferron doesn't offer her friends easy solutions for their problems, but forces them to face up to difficult reality". |
