Australia’s unique forests are the birthplace of birdsong. The plants there are drenched in sunlight and can readily mass-produce sugars through photosynthesis. But with few nutrients in the soil, they struggle to convert those sugars into leaves, seeds, and other tissues. They end up with excess, which they simply give away. Flowers overflow with nectar.

That previous assassination was of a repressive leader who was beaten lifeless by rebels in 1915, a murder that preceded and substantially prompted an American invasion and occupation of Haiti that ultimately lasted until 1934.The murder of President Jovenel Moïse yesterday seems unlikely to yield such dire results.
The Voting Rights Act regime as we knew it is gone, and it’s not coming back.Once thought of as the crown jewel of the Second Reconstruction, the VRA has lost its luster.
