The osprey (Pandion haliaetus) — also called fish eagle, sea hawk, river hawk, and fish hawk — is a diurnal, fish-eating bird of prey with a cosmopolitan range. It is a large raptor, reaching more than in length and across the wings. It is brown on the upperparts and predominantly greyish on the head and underparts.
The osprey tolerates a wide variety of habitats, nesting in any location near a body of water providing an adequate food supply. It is found on all continents except Antarctica, although in South America it occurs only as a non-breeding migrant.
As its other common names suggest, the osprey's diet consists almost exclusively of fish. It possesses specialised physical characteristics and exhibits unique behaviour to assist in hunting and catching prey. As a result of these unique characteristics, it has been given its own taxonomic genus, Pandion and family, Pandionidae. Four subspecies are usually recognized, one of which has recently been given full species status (see below). Despite its propensity to nest near water, the osprey is not classed as a sea eagle.

Information warfare (IW) is a concept involving the use and management of information and communication technology in pursuit of a competitive advantage over an opponent. Information warfare may involve collection of tactical information, assurance(s) that one's own information is valid, spreading of propaganda or disinformation to demoralize or manipulate the enemy and the public, undermining the quality of opposing force information and denial of information-collection opportunities to opposing forces. Information warfare is closely linked to psychological warfare.
The United States military focus tends to favor technology, and hence tends to extend into the realms of electronic warfare, cyberwarfare, information assurance and computer network operations, attack and defense.
Most of the rest of the world use the much broader term of "Information Operations" which, although making use of technology, focuses on the more human-related aspects of information use, including (amongst many others) social network analysis, decision analysis and the human aspects of command and control.

Somatocleptes is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae, containing the following species:
- Somatocleptes apicicornis (Fauvel, 1906)
- Somatocleptes ovalis Breuning, 1947
Tosspot is a British English insult, used to refer to a stupid or contemptible person, or a drunkard.
The word is of Middle English origin, and meant a person who drank heavily. Beer or ale was customarily served in ceramic pots, so a tosspot was a person who copiously 'tossed back' such pots of beer. The word "tosspots" appears in relation to drunkenness in the song which closes Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. The morality play Like Will to Like, by Shakespeare's contemporary Ulpian Fulwell, contains a character named Tom Tosspot, who remarks that
"If any poore man have in a whole week earned a grote, He shal spend it in one houre in tossing the pot".Tosspot is also a character in the traditional British Pace Egg play or Mummers play.
In the Pace Egging Song which accompanies the play the verse for "Old Tosspot" is;
''And the last that comes in is Old Tosspot you see. ''He's a valiant old man, in every degree. ''He's a valiant old man and he wears a pig tail. And all his delight is in drinking mulled ale!
As with most traditional folk songs the exact words vary.
In the chapter "Step Eight" of the Alcoholics Anonymous book Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions by Bill Wilson, the phrase "... tosspot call[ing] a kettle black" causes some confusion for readers who are not familiar with the adage. In the original editions of the book it stated "that is like the pot calling the kettle black." The old saying means a person who is as flawed as the person he or she is criticizing has no right to complain about the other's flaws. The pot, after all, is as blackened by the flames as the kettle. Wilson's little pun places the tosspot, or the drunk, in the position of the flawed individual who should not criticize others.This might have perhaps come from old times when pots and pans were generally black and kettles were generally metallic and reflective. Therefore the pot sees its black reflection in the kettle and thinks that the kettle is black.

Over the years, her argument remains the same, that Anna should have had an adrenalectomy and her ovaries removed, as she had.
Perhaps an adrenalectomy at the beginning would have helped, says Anna, but it is too late now that cancer has spread.
Anna trotted, wind at her back, up the dock and onto the shore of Amygdaloid Island.
By the time the armadillo had nosed and waddled around the bend in the road, Anna was less than thirty-six inches from the gray and scaly hindquarters.
Finally wised-up, her armadillo scuttled ahead, winning back the ten yards Anna had so cunningly eaten up.
There were shouted greetings and a great deal of laughter: Axel and Anna, Martha and the McGarritys, the Kaes girls trailing beaux, and most of the children of the village, many of them masked.
Morvan and Anna, David and Christiana, Duncan and Aymer, with Ian bringing up the rear.
She felt sure that if Christiana and Anna had not been present, Aymer would have struck her at several points in the heated conversation.

Lysara, Resor, Cens, Barat, Hoede, the pale blonde Ytrude, and Secca, the youngest redhead, sitting on a stool in the corner, her eyes darting to Anna, and then away.
Anna thought, that this kindly, lovable benefactress should have that one flaw: she would never let her forget that she had an obstacle to surmount, that there would always be this obstacle, but it was not surmountable.
So after being perfectly outmaneuvered by committee and bumped upstairs to Commander of the new Starflight Agency, there was nothing left for him except bitching to Oscar and Anna about losing crucial people at critical times because they were needed to establish a duplicate facility at High Angel.
Anna let the silence draw out slightly, knowing she was being petty, bitchy, or worse.
Anna had some sly reason for taking Andrew and Bitten to the cemetery island of San Michele, I had no doubt.
The low words seemed to hiss through the gray of the early morning, and Anna bolted upright in the narrow and lumpy pallet bed, not that she had slept that well, with nightmares of various shadowy figures chasing her through improbable settings, none of which she could remember clearly.
