If anything I'd say it was a case of "annoying droves of colorful bees".Interviews with locals revealed that there had been no house-visiting bees until the malaria control spray program had begun. 95% of families interviewed reported some disturbance from the bees' noise, and 71% of interviewees had bees in their homes during their interviews.[8]

Anyway,
Bee-mating events can involve several thousand drones all gathering in areas about 20 metres above the ground in open fields, according to University of Sydney behavioural geneticist Benjamin Oldroyd.
Once mature, a young queen bee will leave her mother's hive and may visit several different "drone congregation areas" on different days, possibly mating with about 50 drones.
No complaint about the hook. But the article is crap.... that in his Ethics, Peter Abelard argued that infidels who sincerely believe themselves to be honouring God are not guilty of sin?
So what does Abelard mean by "consent"?Abelard defines peccatum or sin as that which is worthy of God's damnation and must be repented of.[1] However, he also argues that the content of peccatum proprie (proper sin) is subjective: one is guilty of "scorn for God" if one does not do what one sincerely believes God requires one to do, even if one's beliefs are erroneous.[9][10] Abelard locates proper sin in one's consensus (consent) to perform an action,[ b][12] not the voluntas (desire or will) to do it and less so the actual operationem peccati or performance of the action.[13] He elaborates that "we consent to that which is not allowed when we do not at all draw back from carrying it out and are entirely ready to do it, if the chance is given."[11]
Voluntas is not a necessary precondition for sin,[14] since one can unwillingly consent to sin: "Sometimes we sin without any bad will at all."[15] He cites the hypothetical example of a servant who, in a state of duress, kills his "bloodthirsty master" in self-defence.[c] Abelard maintains that the servant did not willingly consent to killing his master, although his consent arose from a certain will to live.[18] Accordingly, Abelard submits that willing to do something in order to achieve something else (for instance, "willing to kill to live") is fundamentally different from willing to do something (simply "willing to kill"), nor does the former imply the latter.[19] To avoid this confusion, Abelard subsequently proposes that what is said to be "willed", as in the case of the servant, should be more precisely described as "endured".[20]
Mmm. If the master had the servant let's say sell slaves at a slave market then the servant would have consented to commit that sin?

Just some of the issues:
- The "publication history" is not a publication history.
- The "aftermath" section is actually a very poor, very insufficient reception section.
- The entire article dos not once refer to the actual text. There are quotes from the text, but these are taken from secondary sources. So let's hope they didn't misquote.

I also note that even though there is snow on the ground the Iroquois have to be shirtless, to prove they are savagesrnu wrote: ↑Thu Feb 29, 2024 6:24 pmThis is the lead image of one of today's OTD articles. Guess what it depicts:
This totally not racist picture from 1900 depicts the Raid on Deerfield (T-H-L) by French and Native American troops under French command. Maybe I'm being racist here, but to me none of those attackers look French. And no, the English were not defenseless.
Let's see how this holds up in view of the lead:1988 – The Troubles: In Operation Flavius (T-H-L), the Special Air Service killed three volunteers of the Provisional Irish Republican Army conspiring to bomb a parade of British military bands in Gibraltar.
The trio were believed to be planning a car bomb attack on British military personnel in Gibraltar. They were shot dead while leaving the territory, having parked a car. All three were found to be unarmed, and no bomb was discovered in the car, leading to accusations that the British government had conspired to murder them.
On the day of the shootings, known IRA member Seán Savage was seen parking a car near the assembly area for the parade; fellow members Daniel McCann and Mairéad Farrell were seen crossing the border shortly afterwards. As SAS personnel moved to intercept the three, Savage split from McCann and Farrell and ran south. Two soldiers pursued Savage while two others approached McCann and Farrell. The soldiers reported seeing the IRA members make threatening movements when challenged, so the soldiers shot them multiple times. All three were found to be unarmed, and Savage's car did not contain a bomb, though a second car, containing explosives, was later found in Spain. Two months after the shootings, the documentary "Death on the Rock" was broadcast on British television. Using reconstructions and eyewitness accounts, it presented the possibility that the three IRA members had been unlawfully killed.
Several eyewitnesses recalled seeing the three shot without warning, with their hands up, or while they were on the ground. One witness, who told "Death on the Rock" he saw a soldier fire at Savage repeatedly while he was on the ground, retracted his statement at the inquest, prompting an inquiry into the programme which largely vindicated it.
Was the hook written by the SAS's press office?Dissatisfied, the families took the case to the European Court of Human Rights. Delivering its judgement in 1995, the court found that the operation had been in violation of Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights as the authorities' failure to arrest the suspects at the border, combined with the information given to the soldiers, rendered the use of lethal force almost inevitable.
Well, not exactly. This makes it sound like it confirmed something that people suspected or were arguing about. In fact, they had no idea: it was a chance discovery found during examination of photos taken for navigational purposes.Images taken by Voyager 1 proved the existence of volcanoes on Io (pictured), a moon of Jupiter.

Critics from Exclaim! and The Mary Sue described it as the worst song of all time.

I know what you're thinking. This is one of those typical cases where DYK uses the fact that some obscure scientist happens to share a name with a famous person in order to mislead/misinform readers. Turns out it isn't. The Will Smith (T-H-L) in question is indeed the famous actor/musician. He was involved because he was filming for a National Geographic series called Pole to Pole with Will Smith.... that Will Smith took part in the expedition that discovered the northern green anaconda (T-H-L)?
So what did the scientists do? They collected samples from green anacondas and analyzed them. To their surprise it turned out that there are two distinct species of green anacondas. What's more, even thought the two species seem to be virtually indistinguishable, the difference in their DNA is a whopping 5.5% (the difference between humans and apes is about 2%).The species has been known by local Carib people as akayima for centuries, which was later adopted as its formal scientific name.

Martin was Roosevelt's stenographer and unofficial bodyguard. "Former football player"? The guy played football in high school and college. The article has lots of irrelevant information.

He was fired after (less than) three months, but he was never named general manager.After three seasons with the Chargers, Foley was hired by the Minnesota Vikings as vice president of player personnel on January 26, 2006.[7] He also became the team's de facto general manager, although he was not all-powerful in the team's personnel department, being part of what was called the "Triangle of Authority", which featured him, coach Brad Childress and executive Rob Brzezinski working together to make decisions.

a) For some reason it was only performed decades after it was composed.
b) Rossini came out of retirement and composed something for the first time in decades.
Actual explanation:
Rossini composed it 34 years after he retired from writing operas. The Petite messe solennelle is one of 150 compositions that Rossini wrote between 1857 and 1868 which Rossini called his Péchés de vieillesse (T-H-L) ("sins of old age"). It was composed in 1863 so right in the middle of this very active phase. He composed a few other pieces between his last opera William Tell (opera) (T-H-L) in 1829 and his Péchés de vieillesse although apparently not many.

O'Hoppe attended a game at Yankee Stadium while still in high school in 2018 and was televised on YES Network catching a home run hit by Baltimore Orioles infielder Manny Machado. O'Hoppe threw the ball back onto the field from his second-deck seat, a common gesture among fans who catch visiting team home runs, and it landed near the infield.[3][41]
O'Hoppe's father, Michael, was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in August 2021. After multiple rounds of chemotherapy, Michael was determined to be cancer-free in April 2022. The O'Hoppe family was present at Angel Stadium for Logan's MLB debut in September 2022.[42]

In fact the cited source does not mention Schönhardt, and it's immediately evident from the photo that the object isn't in the proper form: the struts are on the wrong sides of each other (e.g. the one in front actually needs to be in back).

Heurtley followed Casson to the BSA, excavating in 1921 with him in Macedonia, and with the school's director, Alan Wace, at Mycenae. In 1923, Heurtley succeeded Casson as the BSA's assistant director, and also assumed the role of its librarian; he held both posts until his dismissal, on financial grounds, in 1932.

First serving as a cavalryman and second lieutenant for a separate regiment in World War I, he then entered the Service Aéronautique, serving as a machine gunner and observer, before receiving the rank Brevet.
Note that in the hook as well as both quotes "brevet"/"Brevet" is wiki linked to Brevet (military) (T-H-L). Just glancing at that article shows that this is complete bullshit. There is no such rank as "brevet". What does the source say?He became a pilot on March 22, 1915, becoming one of several aviators to receive the rank Brevet without attending aviation school.[1]
To be more precise he received his "brevet de pilote militaire". The primary meaning of the French "brevet" is "certificate"/"license". The wikilink has nothing to do with this use of the word.He served first as a gunner, but in his spare time, somehow taught himself to fly. He received his pilot's wings on March 22, 1915, thus becoming one of the few aviators of the war to receive his "brevet militaire" -- the French military pilot rating -- without ever attending a flying school.

This contradicts the other source regarding the date of the declaration, so who knows if or when the reversal happened.Although the Huasco salt pan was declared a national park in February 2010, in February 2014 this was reversed by the Chilean Government, and there is strong pressure to extract water and mineral salts.

An editor responding to Billyshiverstick did a bit of research and found the reason for the revocation ("the process of creation lacked Indigenous people’s participation"), and also that it was redesignated a national park in 2023.

Wikipedia's Main Page has endorsed claims of miracles, so I guess endorsing claims of sainthood is just par for the course.Felix of Burgundy (T-H-L) (died 647 or 648) was a saint and the first bishop of the kingdom of the East Angles.
