| 4dd91c7 | When you have something that you carry inside and never talk about, you don't ever unleash it on a stranger. And since you've never talked about it, you don't know even how to really frame your thoughts. You fear that your words will tumble out in a way that will only make things worse. If that's even possible. | Gregg Olsen | ||

| cf4dd53 | Duct tape, it turns out, is useful for many things beyond household repair. When I woke up, my wrists and legs had been bound. My lips had been sealed shut. I remember running my tongue over my front teeth, feeling the sticky residue of the adhesive. It's a nothing moment, I know. But it's one of those things that lift the curtain every now and then.

| 8576a5a | Thinking and dreaming of what happened is a far different experience than giving voice to events that haunt you. You cry when you tell someone something. You shake. You get sick. You seek comfort. When you don't speak about it and just think it, you don't fall apart. | Gregg Olsen | ||

| c051fb3 | Many species undergo an additional partial molt each year, involving just some head and body feathers. This most often occurs in the late winter or early spring and is called the pre-alternate molt, resulting in the alternate plumage. Many species, but not all, have an alternate plumage. Because this is only a partial molt (not involving all feathers), the new feathers of the alternate plumage are worn alongside the older feathers of the ba.. | David Allen Sibley | ||
| eeca8be | The H-P system indicates the age of the bird in essentially the same way as the Life-Year system. The bird is considered to be in its first year (with plumages labeled first basic and first alternate) from hatching until the prebasic molt a year later, in its second year from that time until the following prebasic molt, and so on. | David Allen Sibley | ||
| ddbb035 | One clue, which applies to virtually all species and can be very useful in late summer and fall, is that juveniles, having just fledged, are then in very uniform fresh plumage, while adults are actively molting or showing a mixture of old and new plumage. | David Allen Sibley | ||

| 418f97b | Voltaire] theoretically prefers a republic, but he knows its flaws: it permits factions which, if they do not bring on civil war, at least destroy national unity; it is suited only to small states protected by geographic situation, and as yet unspoiled and untorn with wealth; in general "men are rarely worthy to govern themselves." Republics are transient at best; they are the first form of society, arising from the union of families; the A.. | democracy development economics egalitarianism government monarchy politics republic voltaire | Will Durant | |
