Another story has the god Cagn taking revenge on the other gods by sending a group of men transformed into African wild dogs to attack them, though who won the battle is never revealed. The San of Botswana see the African wild dog as the ultimate hunter and traditionally believe that shamans and medicine men can transform themselves into wild dogs. Some San

The tunnel segments allowed for substantial vertical settlement during construction, and it was vital that the material was built up evenly on both sides and over the crown of the arch. Shortly after the incident, however, Gisby said that "something" about the backfilling "is not right." The chief executive of Jackson Civil Engineering, however, said that the process used was "in line with what the design allowed. There was a strict loading regime in place." Geotechnical engineers commenting in the wake of the incident expressed surprise at the difference in fill levels on either side of

Corruption was rampant, violent crime was skyrocketing, medical services were collapsing, food and fuel were increasingly scarce and life expectancy was falling for all but a tiny handful of the population; moreover, Yeltsin was increasingly getting the blame. By early-October, Yeltsin had secured the support of Russia's army and ministry of interior forces. In a massive show of force, Yeltsin called up tanks to shell the Russian White House, Russian parliament building. As the Supreme Soviet was dissolved, elections to the newly established parliament, the State Duma, were held in December 1993. Candidates

Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Yeltsin promoted privatization as a way of spreading ownership of shares in former state enterprises as widely as possible to create political support for his economic reforms. In the West, privatization was viewed as the key to the transition from Communism in Eastern Europe, ensuring a quick dismantling of the Soviet-era command economy to make way for "free market reforms". In the early-1990s, Anatoly Chubais, Yeltsin's deputy for economic policy, emerged as

title: "Estonian phonology" content: before front vowels. In addition, about 0.15% of the vocabulary features fully phonemic palatalization, where palatalization occurs without the front vowel. A front vowel did historically occur there, but was lost, leaving the palatalization as its only trace (a form of cheshirization). It mostly occurs word-finally, but in some cases it may also occur word-medially. Thus, palatalization does not necessarily need a front vowel, and palatalized vs. plain continuants can be articulated. Palatalization is not indicated in the standard orthography. The stress in Estonian is usually on the first syllable, as was the case in Proto-Finnic. There are a few


title: Claymore content: Claymore A claymore (; from , "great sword") is either the Scottish variant of the late medieval two-handed sword or the Scottish variant of the basket-hilted sword. The former is characterised as having a cross hilt of forward-sloping quillons with quatrefoil terminations and was in use from the 15th to 17th centuries. The word "claymore" was first used in reference to swords in the 18th century in Scotland and parts of England to refer to basket-hilted swords. This description was maybe not used during the 17th century, when basket-hilted swords were the primary military swords across Europe, but these broad-bladed


title: Claymore content: swords remained in service with Scottish regiments for some time longer. After the Acts of Union in 1707 when Scottish and English regiments were integrated together, the swords were seen as a mark of distinction by Scottish officers over the more slender sabres used by their English contemporaries: a symbol of physical strength and prowess, and a link to the historic Highland way of life. Such swords remain in service with officers of Scottish regiments in Great Britain and various Commonwealth countries today. The term "claymore" is an anglicisation of the Gaelic "claidheamh-mór" "great sword", attested in 1772 (as "Cly-more")


title: Claymore content: with the gloss "great two-handed sword". The sense "basket-hilted sword" is contemporaneous, attested in 1773 as "the broad-sword now used... called the Claymore, (i.e., the great sword)", although OED observes that this usage is "inexact, but very common". The 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica likewise judged that the term is "wrongly" applied to the basket-hilted sword. Countering this view, Paul Wagner and Christopher Thompson argue that the term "claymore" was applied first to the basket-hilted broadsword, and then to all Scottish swords. They provide quotations that are earlier than those given above in support of its use to refer to a basket-hilted


title: Claymore content: broadsword and targe: "a strong handsome target, with a sharp pointed steel, of above half an ell in length, screw'd into the navel of it, on his left arm, a sturdy claymore by his side" (1715 pamphlet). They also note its use as a battle-cry as early as 1678. Some authors suggest that "claybeg" should be used instead, from a purported Gaelic "claidheamh-beag" "small sword". This does not parallel Scottish Gaelic usage. According to the "Gaelic Dictionary" by R. A. Armstrong (1825), "claidheamh-mòr" translates to "broadsword", and "claidheamh dà làimh" to "two-handed sword", while "claidheamh-beag" is given as a translation


title: Claymore content: of "Bilbo". The two-handed claymore was a large sword used in the late Medieval and early modern periods. It was used in the constant clan warfare and border fights with the English from circa 1400 to 1700. Although claymores existed as far back as the Wars of Scottish Independence they were smaller and few had the typical quatrefoil design (as can be seen on the Great Seal of John Balliol King of Scots). The last known battle in which it is considered to have been used in a significant number was the Battle of Killiecrankie in 1689. It was somewhat


title: Claymore content: longer than other two-handed swords of the era. Though the English did use swords similar to the Claymore during the renaissance called a greatsword. The two-handed claymore seems to be an offshoot of early Scottish medieval longswords (similar to the espee de guerre or grete war sword) which had developed a distinctive style of a cross-hilt with forward-angled arms that ended in spatulate swellings. The lobed pommels on earlier swords were inspired by the Viking style. The spatulate swellings were later frequently made in a quatrefoil design. The average claymore ran about 140 cm (55 in) in overall length, with


title: Claymore content: a 33 cm (13 in) grip, 107 cm (42 in) blade, and a weight of approximately 5.5 lb (2.5 kg). For instance, in 1772 Thomas Pennant described a sword seen on his visit to Raasay as: "an unwieldy weapon, two inches broad, doubly edged; the length of the blade three feet seven inches; of the handle, fourteen inches; of a plain transverse guard, one foot; the weight six pounds and a half." The largest claymore on record; known as "fuilteach-mhuirt", weighs 10 kilograms and measures 2.24 metres in length. It is believed to have been wielded by a member of


title: Claymore content: Clan Maxwell circa the 15th century. The sword is currently in the possession of the National War Museum in Edinburgh, Scotland. Fairly uniform in style, the sword was set with a wheel pommel often capped by a crescent-shaped nut and a guard with straight, forward-sloping arms ending in quatrefoils, and langets running down the centre of the blade from the guard. Another common style of two-handed claymore (though lesser known today) was the "clamshell hilted" claymore. It had a crossguard that consisted of two downward-curving arms and two large, round, concave plates that protected the foregrip. It was so named

This clade is known as the "Anagaloidea", which seems to be related to the rodents and lagomorphs after all. Together they form the clade Glires, often grouped with the Euarchonta to form the superorder Euarchontoglires. Anagaloidea Anagaloidea is an extinct order of mammals that first appeared during the Cretaceous period of the geologic timescale. According to the traditional (morphological) view, Anagaloidea is part of the superorder Anagalida, along with the elephant shrews, rodents and lagomorphs. However, the Anagalida are currently considered to be polyphyletic.

In this capacity, he played a role in setting up the Riga ghetto and was implicated in the extermination of the Latvian Jews. He committed suicide on 5 May 1945, after being captured by the British forces. Drechsler became an officer cadet ("Fahnenjunker") in the Lübeck infantry regiment of the German Army in 1914. He was severely wounded and lost a leg. He was mustered out of the Reichswehr in 1920.

It has been the official state insect of the U.S. State of Maryland since 1973. During its period of growth, the checkerspot butterfly will search for a host plant for nourishment. Its native larval host is the white turtle head ("Chelone glabra"), but it has also to some extent made use of the introduced lawn weed English plantain ("Plantago lanceolata") and other plants. Unlike most butterflies and moths, which overwinter as eggs, pupae, or sometimes adults, the Baltimore checkerspot overwinters as larvae. In late

It is a resident species of western North America and among the subspecies, entomologists have long been intrigued by their many phenotypic variations in coloration, wing length, and overall body size. Most populations are monophagous and rely on plants including "Plantago erecta" and "Orthocarpus densiflorus" as its host species in developing from eggs through to larvae, pupae, and mature butterflies. Males exhibit polygyny whereas females rarely mate more than once. Males devote most of their attention to mate acquisition, and such mate locating strategies such

Two subspecies in particular, "Euphydryas editha quino" and "Euphydryas editha bayensis", are currently under protection via the Endangered Species Act. The Edith's checkerspot can be identified by its wings which are black with red and pale yellow or white bands. It also has a submarginal band that consists of yellow or white spots along with a wide postmedian band that is red. The undersides of the wings consists of alternating bands of yellow orange and cream. The wingspan is 3.2-5.1 cm. However, the subspecies of Edith's


title: "Edith's checkerspot" content: checkerspot vary slightly in appearance based on the areas they routinely inhabit. Coastal populations are black with red and cream spots; mountain populations are red or mottled with red, black, and cream spots. The higher-altitude populations are smaller and darker. The larvae of the butterfly are black, spotted with white or orange, or striped with white. The pupae are white or gray, with black blotches and streaks. The Edith's checkerspot is found in North America, where it ranges from southern British Columbia and Alberta south to Baja California, Nevada, Utah, and Colorado. The species can be found in locations of


title: "Edith's checkerspot" content: the San Bernardino Mountains, Sierra Nevada, higher Cascade Mountains of Oregon to Washington, and in areas of the Great Basin, including central Oregon and the Rocky Mountains. It can also be found on several trails such as: Animas River Trail, Falls Creek Trail, Colorado Trail, Hermosa Creek Trail, Engineer Mountain Trail, and Spud Lake Trial. Habitats are mountains, typically on ridgetops, from coastal chaparral and transition zone open woodland to alpine tundra. Edith's checkerspot butterflies prefer grasslands and rocky outcrops found in the mountains. They can be frequently found in areas of nutrient-poor, serpentinitic soils which sustain the native grasslands


title: "Edith's checkerspot" content: that they prefer. Edith's checkerspot caterpillars will use various species of paintbrush ("Castilleja"), beardtongues ("Penstemon"), lousewort ("Pedicularis"), owl's clover ("Orthocarpus"), Chinese houses (Collinsia), and plantain ("Plantago") as host plants. Many populations of the butterfly are monophagous and preference for the different plant types are based mainly on location. Many behaviors, such as egg laying habits and movements are locally adapted, so the survival of the butterflies relies heavily on the growing season of these host plants. Populations of Edith's checkerspots use several different hosts to house and feed their pupae. Though they usually do not pollinate the flowers of the


title: "Edith's checkerspot" content: host, larvae have been known to eat the leaves, the flowers, and sometimes the entire host plant, and have starved trying to find another. Adult females and females feed on flower nectar. Caterpillars feed on leaves and flowers of the host plant and sometimes surrounding plants. Oviposition begins within a day of the female's emergence, with females depositing masses of up to hundreds of eggs at the base of host plants. Most populations are monophagous, with females normally ovipositing on only one of several potential host species. Such plants include "Plantago erecta" and "Orthocarpus densiflorus". The eggs further develop into


title: "Edith's checkerspot" content: pre-diapause larvae whose goal is to enter diapause and reach the fourth instar before their annual host plants senesce. Thus, females try to enhance offspring survival by laying egg masses on cool moist slopes where host plant senescence is most delayed. Once the larvae reach the diapause stage and become post-diapause larvae, they must grow by basking in the sunlight to regulate their body temperature. Larval body temperature is about 10-12 °C (18-22 °F) above ambient temperature, and the fastest growth rate occurs at 30-35 °C (86-95 °F). They must receive enough insolation to terminate the diapause stage and become


title: "Edith's checkerspot" content: a fully-grown butterfly. Thus, the paradox is that these larvae no longer prefer the cool slopes of host plants they grew up on, as it produces shade to restrict growth. Caterpillars in the genus "Euphydryas" are usually attacked by one to three parasitoid species, often by a species of "Apanteles" wasp (Braconidae), a species of "Benjaminia" wasp (Ichneumonidae), and a tachnid fly. Checkerspot butterflies have developed defense mechanisms to prevent predators from attacking. Larvae twitch in unison to repel predators, and, depending on the host plant of the population, the larvae, pupae, and adult butterflies are somewhat poisonous to vertebrates


title: "Edith's checkerspot" content: because they may ingest toxins from the plant. Male Edith's checkerspot butterflies exhibit polygyny and may mate with multiple females. Females, on the other hand, mate once or occasionally twice. Newly eclosed females remain motionless on the ground in low vegetation for about an hour after eclosion while their wings harden. During this time they cannot fly or easily reject courting males. Thus, the first mate to locate a female usually mates with her. Virgin females release a pheromone which attracts males. Hidden virgins are found by males after an average of fifty minutes. There are at least two mechanisms


title: "Edith's checkerspot" content: evolved to prevent females from remating: physical and neurological/behavioral. The physical mechanism involves a literal physical barrier. When the male's spermatophore is deposited into the female's bursa copulatrix, the spermatophore has a long neck that can act as a mating plug to seal it and prevent further mating. However, some second matings occur before the plug has hardened or if the plug erodes. The second, neurological, inhibition mechanism involves mate rejection behavior in which the female flaps and tries to escape. This behavior is stimulated by the neural sensation of bursal distention, which occurs in the presence of a spermatophore.


title: "Edith's checkerspot" content: However, even with these prevention mechanisms, females do occasionally mate a second time. In instances where females mate with several males, they lay eggs which have been predominantly fertilized by the sperm of the last male to mate. This is the process of last male sperm precedence, and can be explained by the fact that the last sperm to enter and be stored in the spermatheca of the female is also usually the first to leave. In Edith's checkerspots, average spermatophore weight is about 2.5% of male body weight, a figure that is quite small compared to the spermatophores donated


title: "Edith's checkerspot" content: by other species of male butterflies during copulation. Though larger males usually produce heavier spermatophores, neither spermatophore weight nor male body weight influence the number of eggs laid or the percentage of eggs hatched. The spermatophore transferred at mating does not constitute as paternal investment, as spermatophore weight has little effect on female reproductive output. In fact, Edith's checkerspot females emerge from eclosion with all oocytes present and a portion already yolked, further limiting the role of the male spermatophore. Most male reproductive effort is devoted not to the production of a spermatophore, but to the acquisition of females, especially


title: "Edith's checkerspot" content: virgin females. Males often exhibit indiscriminate mate location behavior, which is characterized by males failing to distinguish between female conspecifics and other objects, frequently resulting in misdirected courtship or attempted copulation. Because the cost of mistakes is low (low investment in spermatophores) and potential reward (location of receptive female) is high, indiscriminate behavior can become advantageous. However, in some cases, males become attracted to spider webs containing dead conspecifics, mistaking the motionless bodies in the webs for teneral females, and attempt copulation. This puts them at risk of death, showing that there is a risk of male mortality associated with

However, the benefit outweighs the cost, and indiscriminate mate location behavior prevails. Edith's checkerspot males sometimes form aggregations on patches of bare ground like ridges or peaks, and from these perches they dart after passing males and females of both their conspecifics, own species and heterospecifics, other species. This strategy is called perching. Another strategy is termed "patrolling" and consists


title: "Edith's checkerspot" content: of males wandering in search of mates. In years of low population density, the hilltopping behavior may become adaptive. In such instances, males concentrate in mating aggregations at the highest point of a slope and females must travel up the slope after eclosion to mate. After mating, females return down the slope in order to minimize sexual harassment, and deposit eggs. Hilltopping occurs in small populations where there is a smaller chance for virgin females to encounter males before reaching the hilltop. Where populations are relatively dense; however, upslope movement may place these butterflies at a reproductive disadvantage. This butterfly


title: "Edith's checkerspot" content: exhibits protandry. Males tend to emerge 4–8 days before females do and the average life span of both sexes is 10 days, though it can be as long as three weeks. Protandry may have an effect on the butterfly's mating success in a population. In many time constrained species such as the Edith's checkerspot, early season matings may have a higher probability of producing adults in the next generation than those later in the year. Pre-diapause larvae are under time pressure to mature to diapause size before host plants senesce in summer drought. Therefore, larvae hatching from eggs laid earlier


title: "Edith's checkerspot" content: in the season are more likely to have reached the intended size. This is why males mating at the beginning of the season are more likely to produce surviving offspring than males mating a few weeks later. The Edith's checkerspot subspecies mirror the changes in climate over long periods of time. Global warming is expected to eliminate the butterflies in the south throughout the upcoming years, where the season is becoming shorter and shorter. In areas of the lowest latitude, about three-fourths of the populations have become extinct. This is in contrast to higher latitude areas in Canada where less


title: "Edith's checkerspot" content: than twenty percent have disappeared. It has been found that population extinctions were four times as high along the southern boundaries (Baja and Mexico) than along the northern boundaries (Canada). In addition, extinctions are nearly three times as high at lower elevations below 8,000 feet (2,400 m) than at higher elevations from 8,000 to 12,500 feet (2,400–3,800 m). In agreement with global warming predictions, this extinction process has shifted the range of this butterfly both northward and upward in elevation since the 1800s. In the case of "Euphydryas editha quino", habitat destruction is the major reason for its decline, although


title: "Edith's checkerspot" content: climate change problems also pose a threat. Quino checkerspot populations along the southernmost boundary (in Mexico) are at the greatest risk from continuing warming and drying climate trends. Unfortunately, these are also the best remaining habitats with the lowest degree of threat from development. By contrast, most Quino habitat has been destroyed by development in the Los Angeles–San Diego corridor. The case of the Quino checkerspot has resulted in the first habitat recovery plan to list climate change not only as a current threat, but also as a factor that should be considered in reserve design and recovery management. Some


title: "Edith's checkerspot" content: sedentary checkerspots remain at their original habitats despite the continuation of human interference, and have evolved adaptations to deal with these changes. In January 1997, the subspecies "Euphydryas editha quino" and "Euphydryas editha bayensis" received federal protection under the Endangered Species Act. "Euphydryas editha bayensis" has also been given the Nature Conservancy global rank of T1, which means that there are very few individuals remaining. Edith's checkerspots lay their eggs on various plant species, sometimes resulting in the death of the host plant, which could be potentially economically important to humans. In addition, larvae, pupae, and adults are poisonous to
