Although this is not a direct threat to humans, it can kill predators by inflicting massive damage. Poison dart frogs are a particular concern, as their toxins can cause heart failure and fibrillation. The bright colors of frogs serve as warnings to predators. Many frogs use camouflage as a way to avoid predators. However, some species have evolved special abilities for hiding and camouflage. One species, the White's tree frog, can change its color to match the surrounding temperature. To adapt to a change in temperature, it moves to a warmer, shadier area. Besides being able to change colors, the White's tree frog also tucks its feet and hands into its body to make it harder to detect predators. The Goliath Frog is the largest species of frog. It grows to over one foot (12.5 inches) long and weighs seven pounds. The Goliath Frog is found in West Africa. It can grow up to 15 inches in length and weigh seven pounds. Another species that can reach large sizes is the golden frog, or PAEDOPHRYNE AMANUENSIS. The frog's back legs are long and flexible.

The California Gold Rush began in 1848 when the first miners started collecting large amounts of gold. The news spread quickly throughout the world and thousands of prospective miners flooded into the area. These men, also known as forty-niners, borrowed money, mortgaged their homes, and spent life savings on gold. Many women were left behind to care for the family and run farms. By the end of the gold rush, there were 30,000 men and hundreds of women in the region. The California Gold Rush was a time of incredible economic development for the region. The new economy created new towns and jobs for merchants and entrepreneurs. The gold rush was so successful that it spawned new industries. Blue jeans were created in the 1850s, which were popular for women. Women had more freedom than men in 1849, and could earn higher wages in the process. One woman made $18,000 by baking pies. James Marshall, the man who discovered the gold in California, never made a dime from the Gold Rush. He died penniless in 1885. The California Gold Rush started in 1848 when James Wilson Marshall found gold in the American River in California. He was a sawmill operator at the time, but after the discovery, his sawmill closed. While the majority of Gold Rushers were Americans, immigrants from Latin America, China, Australia, and other countries came to the region to get their share of the gold. Because of the United States' military presence in the area, many of the gold rushers ended up being Canadians.

D-Day for kids is a great lesson for the entire family, and it's easy to see why. The invasion began at 6 a.m., and by the end of the day, all but one million troops were dead or captured.

If you want your child to understand the significance of D-Day, start with the history of this historic event.

The Psalms can help us during a time of disruption and division.Deep Calls to Deep demonstrates a new and generative way of reading the Bible, which looks for differences among texts to engage in dialogue over critical issues that are not only biblical but also are relevant to our contemporary crises. Bill Brown explores uncharted territory in the Bible with a particular focus on the Psalms, the most diverse book of the Bible. By taking his cue from Martin Luther, Brown explores how the "little bible" (the Psalter) engages the larger Hebrew Bible in dialogue, specifically how the Psalms counter, complement, reconstrue, and transform biblical traditions and themes across the Hebrew canon, from creation and law to justice and wisdom.In this deep study of the Psalms, Brown asks:- What is humanity's place and role in creation?- What makes for a credible leader?- What is "law and order"?- What is the role of wisdom in the life of faith?- What is the shape of justice in a society polarized by power and fear?These and other questions, such as a chapter that offers a fresh look at the authority of Scripture, are hosted by the Psalms with the aim of prompting dialogue, the kind of dialogue that is most needed in a time of deep division and disruption. Praise for Deep Calls to DeepDeep Calls to Deep extends a hearty invitation to mutual dialogue among Christian communities. It does not encourage harmony and agreement but seeks to generate critical and potentially transformative conversations regarding scripture and authority.--Nyasha Junior, Temple University, and author of Reimagining Hagar: Blackness and BibleIn this moment of societal disruption, Brown warmly invites us to sit together and consider anew the glorious psalms of our faith. We are beckoned to see how these diverse poems create a conversation with other biblical texts, not for the sake of uniformity but for the sake of courageous dialogue.--Tyler Mayfield, Louisville Presbyterian Theological SeminaryIn a world often wracked by arguments and silencing, William Brown provides a valuable witness to those of us who treasure Scripture. Using the central metaphor of "dialogue," this fascinating study shows how all of the Bible interacts with the Psalms in a dialogical relationship. Brown invites us not only to listen in to that lively conversation, but also to join in with our voices, no matter where we are. A necessary book for our time!--Roy L. Heller, Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist UniversityDeep Calls to Deep is a timely book. William Brown's commitment to dialogical interpretation is just what the Church needs in this unsettling and divisive time. The inner-biblical reading of the Psalms in conversation with the rest of the canon clarifies the dialogical nature of biblical revelation, and, in so doing it, Brown provides a roadmap for our own self-critical engagement with others as a journey of "fearless dialogue."--Tom Dozeman, United Theological Seminary (Dayton, Ohio)

As soloist, master class teacher, and pianist of the world-renowned Beaux Arts Trio, Menahem Pressler can boast of four Grammy nominations, three honorary doctorates, more than 80 recordings, and lifetime achievement awards presented by France, Germany, and Israel. Former Pressler student William Brown traces the master's pianistic development through Rudiakov, Kestenberg, Vengerova, Casadesus, Petri, and Steuermann, blending techniques and traditions derived from Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, and J. S. Bach. Brown presents Pressler's approach to performance and teaching, including technical exercises, principles of relaxation and total body involvement, and images to guide the pianist's creativity toward expressive interpretation. Insights from the author's own lessons, interviews with Pressler, and recollections of more than 100 Pressler students from the past 50 years are gathered in this text. Measure-by-measure lessons on 23 piano masterworks by, among others, Bach, Bartok, Debussy, and Ravel as well as transcriptions of Pressler's fingerings, hand redistributions, practicing guidelines, musical scores, and master class performances are included.

In this companion to his first book, Menahem Pressler: Artistry in Piano Teaching, William Brown brings together world-renowned piano soloist Menahem Pressler's teachings on 37 piano masterworks by Johann Sebastian Bach, Samuel Barber, Ludwig van Beethoven, and more.

Drug prescribing is one of the most important parts of clinical practice. Yet it remains one of the commonly failed components of undergraduate assessments. To remedy this, the Prescribing Skills Assessment (PSA) exam has been introduced in the UK. This book is written specifically for the exam, with one chapter dedicated to each PSA section.
