Frog Ren? Don't think I've seen that one. Could we get some funny faunus fact moments for that?

Yang: Hey, Where's Ren and Nora? I haven't seen them in a while

Jaune: Oh they're ... enjoying each other's company ...

Fun Fact! Almost all frogs fertilize the eggs outside of the female's body. The male holds the female around the waist in a mating hug called amplexus. He fertilizes the eggs as the female lays them. Amplexus can last hours or days. One pair of Andean toads stayed in amplexus for four months.

~~~~~

Pyrrha: ALRIGHT TEAM! GIMME YOUR WAR CRY!

Bear!Faunus Nora: *EARTHSHAKING ROAR*

Jaune: I'M GOING TO COMMIT VARIOUS UNFORGIVABLE WAR CRIMES! I'LL BE WANTED IN EVERY KINGDOM!

Desert Rain Frog!Ren: *Squeak*

Fun Fact! That was the sonorous war cry of a very angry frog. The Desert Rain Frog is considered Vulnerable in terms of extinction due to Habitat Loss.

~~~~~

Ren, with a beard: OH NO! AN ENEMY! I HATE DOING THIS!

Ren: *Breaks his fucking hands*

The Hairy Frog, also known as the Wolverine or Horror Frog is notable for having Dermal Papillae. And breaking it's toe bones through its fingers like claws. But everyone forgets about the fact it's fucking HAIRY.

~~~~~

~During Beacon Initiation~

Ren: *Hits the Ground with no attempts to slow himself*

Ren: *Bounces along, before stopping and getting up, brushing himself off*

The Venezuelan pebble toad will lock it's muscles rigid and throw itself down mountains to escape predators. due to it's small size, it is not injured by this action.

Also Toads technically are Frogs, just as Squares are technically Rectangles.

~~~~~

Jaune: Hey, Why do you cover yourselves in Milk when you get stressed out?

Amazon Milk Frog Ren: ...

Horse!Faunus Pyrrha: ...

When Stressed, the Amazon Milk Frog will produce a poisonous, milky-white substance from it's skin.

Horse Sweat is much higher in electrolytes than Human sweat, giving it a milky-white texture and appearance.

The Battle for the Future of BRICS Has Just Begun

In a column last year about what was then still the proposed expansion of the BRICS organization, I ended by saying, “For Brazil, India and South Africa, the priority will be to make sure that new members don’t just serve as allies of China or friends of [Russian President Vladimir] Putin, but rather contribute to their visions of alternative global governance. They will also seek to ensure that they themselves do not lose influence to the new states that enter.”

When BRICS met last week in Kazan, Russia, it appeared that Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping had won the initial debate on both counts. Four new members—the United Arab Emirates, Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia—attended the summit with full voting rights.

The entrance of the new member states shifted the balance of power within BRICS away from electoral democracies and increased the perception that the bloc is a club of autocrats aligned with China and Russia. While India’s giant economy and population mean it carries influence wherever it goes, the new members also diluted the overall influence that Brazil and South Africa have in the organization as well.

The perception that BRICS is simply a diplomatic tool for China and Russia was further amplified by the fact this year’s meeting was held in Russia, at a time when Putin has been largely absent from international meetings due to his invasion of Ukraine and the arrest warrant for alleged war crimes issued for him by the International Criminal Court. With representatives from over 30 countries in attendance as members, partners or observers, the meeting gave Putin a chance to shrug off diplomatic isolation and demonstrate he is still globally relevant. The attendance of the United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres gave Putin an additional lift.

But Putin’s desperation to boost attendance at the event became a double-edged sword when Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro made a surprise appearance. Having declared himself the winner of an election that he lost by 30 points back in July, Maduro also delighted in the opportunity to stretch his diplomatic muscles alongside leaders who would otherwise have avoided the controversy of being in the same room as him. For his part, Putin gave Maduro his full support.

California is gripped by economic problems, with no easy fix (Economist) Home to many of America’s most progressive policies, from criminal justice to vehicle emissions, California serves a unique role as a punchbag for right-wing politicians. Every few years it becomes fashionable to declare that it is a failed state, or that the California dream is turning into a nightmare. This rhetoric is often overblown: in terms of pure economic heft California remains the most powerful American state. But for all its continuing prowess in innovation (not least in artificial intelligence), California again appears to be entering one of its periodic rough patches. The state faces three overlapping challenges: rising unemployment, growing fiscal strains and population outflows. All of these should abate over time, but for now they mark out California as a pocket of relative weakness in an otherwise robust American economy.

State Department Defends Arms Transfers to Israel (Washington Post) State Department spokesman Matthew Miller defended the Biden administration’s recent decision to authorize the transfer of billions of dollars’ worth of warplanes and bombs to Israel, saying Israel needed to defend itself. Miller then came under pointed questioning about whether the 2,000-pound MK84 bombs authorized to be transferred should be described as “self-defense,” as the bombs have been linked to mass-casualty events in Gaza. Miller responded that Israel needed to defend itself “against a very well-armed adversary, like I said Iran, Hezbollah,” and that Washington expects Israel to use any weapons responsibly.

US oil exports (Bloomberg) Who is a major beneficiary of sanctions on Russian and Venezuelan oil? US suppliers who have muscled their way into markets once dominated by OPEC and its allies. US oil exports have set five new monthly records since Western nations began imposing sanctions on Russia, after the Kremlin launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. And with trade restrictions on Venezuela set to renew in April, American barrels are beginning to displace sanctioned oil in India, one of the bigger markets for illicit crude.

Panic in Haiti's capital as wild shooting fills streets (Reuters) Panic set in around downtown Port-au-Prince on Monday as wild shooting filled the streets of Haiti's capital, with heavy gunfire near the national palace. The latest violence to rock the Caribbean island nation comes as the outgoing prime minister signaled that a broad transitional council is nearly finalized and seen as key to ending the current social and political crisis and paving the way for new elections.

Peru’s president accused of amassing $500K in jewelry on $50K salary (Washington Post) Even given the low expectations Peruvians have for their leaders, Dina Boluarte was unpopular. For nearly all of her 16-month presidency, her approval ratings have languished in the single digits. She’s widely blamed for the deaths of nearly 50 people killed by security forces while they were protesting her predecessor’s ouster, and accused of standing by while lawmakers dismantle Peru’s democracy. Still, Boluarte, 61, a mid-level civil servant who became Peru’s first female president, had managed to avoid accusations of being personally corrupt. Until now. Her government has been rocked by reporting that in the past year she has amassed a personal jewelry collection worth $500,000 on a monthly presidential salary of around $4,200. Highlights allegedly include a $50,000 Cartier bracelet and a $19,000 Rolex watch. That prompted prosecutors to launch an investigation for “illicit enrichment.” The accusations extend Peru’s streak of presidents to come under serious criminal investigation to eight. Every leader of this Andean nation since 1985 (with the exception of two briefly serving, unelected interims) has been the target of at least one criminal probe.

Norway follows its neighbor Denmark in planning an increase in conscripted soldiers (AP) Norway is to increase the number of conscripted soldiers from the present 9,000 to 13,500, the Norwegian government said Tuesday. “We must have enough people with the right skills at the right time,” Defense Minister Bjørn Arild Gram said. “We will need more people with professional military expertise going forward.” The move by the Scandinavian NATO member comes after neighboring Denmark last month said it wants to increase the number of young people doing military service by extending conscription to women and increasing the time of service from four months to 11 months.

Scottish Hate Crime Law Takes Effect as Critics Warn It Will Stifle Speech (NYT) A sweeping law targeting hate speech went into effect in Scotland on Monday, promising protection against threats and abuse but drawing criticism that it could have a chilling effect on free speech. The law, which was passed by the Scottish Parliament in 2021, expands protections for marginalized groups and creates a new charge of “stirring up hatred,” which makes it a criminal offense to communicate or behave in a way that “a reasonable person would consider to be threatening, abusive or insulting.” A conviction could lead to a fine and a prison sentence of up to seven years. The protected classes as defined in the law include age, disability, religion, sexual orientation and transgender identity. Racial hatred was omitted because it is already covered by a law from 1986. The new law also does not include women among the protected groups; a government task force has recommended that misogyny be addressed in separate legislation.

Ukraine uses drones in what appears to be its deepest strike yet inside Russia (AP) Ukrainian drones attacked industrial facilities in the province of Tatarstan, Russian authorities said Tuesday, in what would be Kyiv’s deepest strike inside Russian territory since the war began more than two years ago. Seven people were injured in the attack on facilities near the cities of Yelabuga and Nizhnekamsk, located some 1,200 kilometers (745 miles) east of Ukraine. The strike damaged a hostel for students and workers in a free economic zone where a factory manufacturing Iranian-designed drones is reportedly located.

Turkey’s shock elections (Washington Post) Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan just experienced what analysts deem his worst political setback in more than two decades. His long-ruling Justice and Development Party, or AKP, lost emphatically in local elections around the country Sunday—a surprising rebuke after Erdogan had consolidated his tight grip on power in general elections last year. The opposition Republican People’s Party, or CHP, secured victories across the country and in Turkey’s five biggest cities, including Istanbul, where Erdogan had campaigned vigorously for his handpicked AKP candidate. This turn of events is fueled, first and foremost, by voter anger at a frustrating status quo. “It was Erdogan’s handling of the economy that appeared to loom largest in the race, with households battered by runaway inflation and the cratering value of the currency,” my colleagues Beril Eski and Kareem Fahim reported. Inflation has been running at about 70 percent.

Macau Races (Nikkei Asia) Macau is getting out of the horse racing business, with the final race at the Macau Jockey Club happening last Saturday after 44 years of operation. The average attendance last year had dwindled to 492 spectators, but the finale on Saturday drew a crowd of 3,000 to send it off.

Taiwan’s strongest earthquake in nearly 25 years damages buildings, leaving 4 dead (AP) Taiwan’s strongest earthquake in a quarter century rocked the island during the morning rush hour Wednesday, damaging buildings and highways and causing the deaths of four people. Taiwan’s national fire agency said four people died in Hualien County and at least 57 were injured in the quake that struck just before 8 a.m. A five-story building in Hualien appeared heavily damaged, collapsing its first floor and leaving the rest leaning at a 45-degree angle. In the capital Taipei, tiles fell from older buildings and in some newer office complexes, while debris fell from some building sites. Schools evacuated their students to sports fields, equipping them with yellow safety helmets. Some also covered themselves with textbooks to guard against falling objects as aftershocks continued.

Japan is still reeling 100 days after the Noto earthquake (Economist) Fishing boots. Their son’s beloved fishing boots—that is what Hamazuka Hiroyuki and Chiaki most hope to find under the rubble of their garage. The Hamazukas’ place in Suzu, on the northern tip of Japan’s Noto peninsula, is one of nearly 100,000 buildings that were damaged or destroyed when a massive earthquake struck on January 1st. As of late March the disaster had killed 244 people. The Hamazukas and their children survived, but like most of their neighbours, nearly 100 days after the tremor, the family is only beginning to piece its life back together. The peninsula will take years to recover, says Fujino Tatsuo with a sigh, a disaster-relief volunteer helping to clear away the Hamazuka family’s debris with an excavator.

World Central Kitchen Pauses Gaza Operations After 7 Workers Killed (NYT) The disaster relief nonprofit World Central Kitchen paused operations in Gaza and the region on Tuesday after the organization said seven of its workers were killed in an airstrike. José Andrés, the organization’s founder, said on X that “several of our sisters and brothers” were killed in an Israeli airstrike on Monday. The group later said in a statement that the team was leaving a warehouse in central Gaza in two armored cars after unloading humanitarian food aid. The group said the convoy was hit despite having coordinated movements with the Israeli military. The Israeli military said in a statement early Tuesday that, in light of the reports, it was “conducting a thorough review at the highest levels to understand the circumstances of this tragic incident.” The military also said it “makes extensive efforts to enable the safe delivery of humanitarian aid, and has been working closely with W.C.K. in their vital efforts to provide food and humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza.” Erin Gore, the nonprofit’s chief executive officer, said that the group’s employees were killed in “a targeted attack” by the Israeli military.

Israeli government says it will block Al Jazeera from broadcasting (BBC) The Israeli parliament has approved a law giving the government the power to ban broadcasts of TV channels including Al Jazeera, the Qatari-owned network. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he would "act immediately" to close the network's local office. The US expressed concern over the move. With foreign journalists banned from entering Gaza, Al Jazeera staff based in the strip have been some of the only reporters able to cover the war on the ground. For years, Israeli officials have accused the network of anti-Israeli bias. But their criticisms of the broadcaster have intensified since the Hamas attacks of 7 October. Authorities claim it has close links with Hamas, which Al Jazeera vehemently denies. In a statement, Al Jazeera said: "Netanyahu could not find any justifications to offer the world for his ongoing attacks on Al Jazeera and press freedom except to present new lies and inflammatory slanders against the Network and the rights of its employees.

Israel is determined to invade Rafah (Washington Post) Israel is telling the world that the last battle of the Gaza war will take place in a sand-blown city on the Egyptian border. The Americans are wary. The Palestinians are terrified. Rafah, in southern Gaza, is now home to 1.4 million people—a last refuge for those displaced from other parts of the enclave. Families are living in tents, surviving on limited aid. Among them, and in tunnels beneath them, according to the Israel Defense Forces, are the last intact Hamas battalions and more than 100 Israeli hostages. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned Washington that the war against Hamas cannot be won without taking Rafah. The Biden administration is deeply concerned about Israel’s planned assault—warning of a “disaster” scenario—but appears keen to avoid a public showdown. The Biden administration has urged Israel to consider more targeted “precision” or “surgical” strikes on Rafah, U.S. officials say. Yet those terms are relative. Two weeks of heavy fighting at al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, described by the IDF as a “precise” operation, left the medical compound in ruins.

In a chronicle of a vote foretold, opposition frontrunner Maria Corina Machado won by a landslide in Venezuela’s primaries on Sunday. The key question was not, however, whether she was going to win. Without credible competitors, Machado’s objective was to flex electoral muscles against the government, as she is barred from public office.

The day of the vote was marked by pictures of long queues waiting to vote in various cities across Venezuela, and by the few resources employed. There have been varying claims of turnout numbers, without independent observers. As of Monday morning, official results have not been released beyond a preliminary tally: Machado takes 93% of the total.

The public office ban was imposed by the comptroller general, who argued that she had violated the constitution by calling for a military invasion and economic sanctions on Venezuela. She did so on multiple occasions during the dire economic and humanitarian crisis the country has suffered from in recent years. The political ban has been a point of contention in negotiations between Washington DC, Caracas, and the main opposition parties.

The agreements led to electoral guarantees for the 2024 presidential race, and the suspension of some sanctions by the US. Most importantly, they have opened up the oil and gas sector, which is Venezuela’s economic engine. However, the government led by President Nicolás Maduro shows no signs of backing down.

uh yeah why would they?? the u.s. is demanding that the venezuelan government legitimize someone who openly, repeatedly commits treason* and this guy is going like "hm yeah why don't they"
