De seychellenskink (Trachylepis wrightii) is een hagedis uit de familie skinken (Scincidae).

Naam en indeling
De soort werd voor het eerst wetenschappelijk beschreven door George Albert Boulenger in 1887. Oorspronkelijk werd de naam Mabuya wrightii gebruikt en onder deze naam wordt de skink vaak in de literatuur aangeduid.

Er worden twee ondersoorten erkend die verschillen in uiterlijk en verspreidingsgebied.

Uiterlijke kenmerken
De totale lengte bedraagt ongeveer 30 centimeter en iets meer dan de helft daarvan bestaat uit de lange staart. De lichaamskleur is bruin tot donkerbruin met een donkere flankstreep en een beige buik en keel. De voorpoten zijn duidelijk kleiner dan de achterpoten, de nek is erg dik. De schubben zijn glad en glanzend.

Levenswijze
De seychellenskink is overdag actief en neemt graag een zonnebad, de hagedis leeft voornamelijk op de bodem. Het voedsel bestaat uit insecten, maar in de lente en zomer wordt er ook naar vogeleieren gezocht. Alleen de eieren van op de bodem broedende vogels worden hierbij buitgemaakt. De hagedis rolt de eieren van de rotsen zodat ze stuk gaan en de inhoud makkelijk kan worden opgelikt.

De vrouwtjes zetten geen eieren af maar brengen volledig ontwikkelde jongen ter wereld.

Verspreiding en habitat
De seychellenskink is een typische bodembewoner die soms in een boom klimt om zich snel te verstoppen, maar meestal onder stenen en tussen de strooisellaag leeft. De soort komt alleen voor op de Seychellen, een eilandengroep ten noordoosten van Madagaskar. De hagedis is aangetroffen op de eilanden Aride, Cousin, Cousine, Frégate, Mamelles, St. Pierre en Ile aux Récifs.

De habitat bestaat uit granietrotsen waar de eilanden rijk aan zijn en met name die delen waar de afzetting guano voorkomt. Guano is een soort turf maar bestaat in plaats van planten uit de gedroogde mest van vogels, het is daardoor erg rijk aan mineralen.

Bedreigingen
Mede door het feit dat guano gewonnen werd door de mens om er onder andere fosfor en zwavel uit te halen, is deze soort sterk achteruitgegaan door milieuvervuiling. Ondanks dat de gewenste mineralen tegenwoordig kunstmatig uit zouten worden gehaald en de winning aan het stagneren is, wordt de seychellenskink nog steeds beschouwd als zeldzaam. Dit komt omdat de aantallen zeevogels waarvan de hagedis deels afhankelijk is voor zijn voedsel achteruit gaan.

Door de internationale natuurbeschermingsorganisatie IUCN is de beschermingsstatus 'kwetsbaar' toegewezen (Vulnerable of VU).

- trapped in 70s' gimmick, gadgets, double-entendres.
In Istanbul, Bond tells Denise Richards as a (laughable) nuclear scientist called Christmas Jones: "I've alwaysdreamed of having Christmasin Turkey." And: "I thought Christmas only comes once a year." Carry On Bond!How Brosnan hated these quips.Or, he hated the duff ones.
London tabloids said as it wasthe last Bond film of the millennium,itwould feature cameos by virtually all previous Bond girls, including:Ursula Andress, Bach, Famke Janssen and Diana Rigg. Instead, the film marked the first acting credit in a Bond film for producer Michael G Wilson - as General Chandler - after uncredited cameos in every Bond since The Spy Who Loved Me (followinga try-outin Goldfinger).
Alexander King .Billy Bob Thornton was suggestedwhen 007's blown up pal wasto bea Texan andnot Robert Calder's UK oil tycoon.
TheCigar Girl . Both Kelly Brook and dancer Jean Butler were seen for the girl behind the explosive opening - Maria Grazia Cucinotta.
Q .Desmond Llewelyn, the much loved Q,died in an car smash soon after the movie opened.He was 86.
Pierce Brosnan thought the film was pretty damn good, actually. "I was very comfortable with it. When it's your third one, you'd better know what you're doing, and enjoy what you're doing. Having Michael Apted there was great, too, because he paid attention to character and to story, not that the other guys didn't, but Michael just listened. ??I liked the moral ambiguity that was brought back to Bond's character.? When we met and talked about it, our conversations were about that exactly. Who is this man? What's at stake for him? Seeing behind the curtain of who he is a little bit more, making it so the writing has some meaning, some emotional cornerstone so the character has a motivation and can have more of a relationship with someone like M, for example.
"One of the keys to the longevity of the series," suggested Michael Apted, "is that you have five actors with five completely different interpretations of the role. That's interesting. Pierce doesn't feel that he has to live up to Connery's Bond or Moore's Bond, because he's grown into the character and made it his own. In many ways, I think his Bond is the nearest to Fleming that has been done so far. Brosnan a very interesting man because he's come to stardom late, which I think is always interesting. I think it makes people much more compassionate, much more workable, much more humane,.
Best line was outside the film... when MI6 tried to ban all shooting near its Thames-side HQ.

(Collected from postings to the Strathspey mailing list).
Has any one on the list had complaints from hall keepers about slip stop supplied from the RSCDS damaging the surface of floors?
For one of our children's classes we use a school hall which has a wooden parquet floor. The school janitor assures me that it is not polished, but has been specially treated to be non-slippy. However, it has the appearance of having a very high gloss, and is certainly not non-slipply, especially with ordinary dancing pumps. At our last class, the children, and my helper who is a very experienced dancer, were having a lot of problems, so I used my slip stop on the floor, only to be given a severe telling off by the school janitor. This morning, I've had the Branch Secy on the phone saying that she has been told by the School Lets Office that slip stop damages the surface of the floor. I'd be interested to hear whether anyone else has had this problem, and if you have, what you do instead.
There is an alternative product made of rubber "dust," like the bags of rubber eraser dust draftsmen use. In fact, that's what we used to use; we would tear a hole in the corner of the bag and just let a bit out. It doesn't damage the floor or stick to your shoes, as I recall.
Now I have a pair of normal shoes, and a pair treated with the Dow Corning silicon RTV 3140, for use on slippery floors.
We also use the draftsmans eraser dust. I get it at an art supply house. It comes in a bag or a can, but the bag was slightly cheaper per oz. We use it on specific slippery spots and find it doesn't clog up your shoes like rosin. If someone feels a slippery spot they call for the "fairy dust"
I find that about a tablespoon of powdered resin dispensed with a tea strainer will effectively stop slipping on about 2000 sq ft (200 m2) and the janitors don't notice it afterwards. Unfortunately, crushing solid resin does not produce a fine enough powder and is much more expensive than the (less available) commercially powdered product.
We used to buy it from a local (Ottawa, Canada) dance supply store (Malabars), but they now say there is not sufficient demand and have discontinued the powdered resin. So now we crush up pieces of solid resin a bit and then put it in an electric coffee grinder which achieves the prerequisite fineness. (Yes, you can clean the grinder completely.) The solid resin is used for violin strings, so I assume you can get it at most music stores. We keep the powder in a small plastic zip lock bag in our SCD basket.
Dispersal on the floor is done with a VERY finely meshed tea strainer by tapping the edge of the strainer. As I mentioned before, a tablespoon is sufficient for a floor for six sets. Don't use more or you will really STOP the slipping. Swishing around with a broom also helps distribute the powder if your application was spotty. The result is not visible to dancers or janitors.
Mop down with a mixture of metholated spirits and water; we recently got a new wooden floor in our hall, and when really clean it is not slippy, but often gets that way; the advice came from the installers.
Alternatively, wet the soles of your shoes - our dancers tend to do this automatically for dances like St Andrews Day or the Vicar of Bray!
My experience has been that the anti-slip-stop people are NEVER DANCERS. they are janitors who want the floor to "look nice" or administrators who have the same aim.
The most beautiful floor in the world is an unfinished wooden one that has been worn smooth, but not slippery, by thousands of happy dancing feet.
We dance at an enlightened church rec hall, and use rosin regularly, but we sweep it up afterward. we also put down small carpet remnants at the exit to the dance hall and ask people to wipe their ghillies, to avoid tracking the white stuff around. We also give the janitress a gift at Christmas.

Down From the Shelf ~ Cape Fear (1991)
by Joe Down from the Shelf, Movie Review	• Tags: Cape, DeNiro, Fear, Lange, Lewis, Nolte, Scorcese
Synopsis: A convicted rapist, released from prison after serving a 14 year sentence, stalks the family of the lawyer who originally defended him.
Stars: Robert De Niro, Nick Nolte, Jessica Lange, Gregory Peck, Robert Mitchum, Illeana Douglas, Juliette Lewis
Director: Martin Scorsese
TMMM Score: (8/10)
Review: The memory is still as clear as day. My dad had taken me to the opening night 7:25pm showing of Cape Fear at the Edina and we were now back at our house. My mom was gone for the weekend and it was a bachelor weekend at the Botten household. Well after seeing Cape Fear I was absolutely scared to death and slept with the light on an my head under the covers. Even now, I can't watch Scorcese's remake with pinpointing the exact moment my blood turned cold and I weighed the pros/cons of peeing my pants. All I'll say about the moment to keep it a secret for people who haven't seen it is this – the maid. Decorum won out and I kept my bladder intact.
Back then it was all about the scare for me. I didn't pay attention to performances or camera techniques. Watching the film today, I understand so much more about what Scorcese was going for when tackling this piece. He was trying to make a contemporary and arty adult slasher film and he's largely succeeded with the aid of DeNiro, Nolte, and Lange. Lewis is still growing on me here, but I'm a big fan of her work in recent years. If you look at the trivia for this movie it appears that every young female in Hollywood was up for this role (though I highly doubt Tiffani Amber-Thiessen was strongly considered) and Lewis was an interesting casting choice. Both she and DeNiro were nominated for their work here and I was surprised it didn't nab noms for cinematography, editing, and score – all which are award worthy.
I've seen the original Cape Fear (it was a brilliant touch to bring back original stars Peck and Mitchum for cameo roles) and feel I may be in the minority when I say I prefer the remake. The original was considered ahead of its time with its take on violence but I feel the film is more effective when the danger is more real. Even though it does drag a bit in the middle section the final thirty minutes are gripping moments of cinema. If you've never seen this, give it a try. It's a nice bridge between the extreme violence of Scorcese's early years and the more refined filmmaker he evolved into as the decades passed.

Ten Questions & Answers about ILRI's Kapiti Research Station
International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI)
Biodiversity, Living within PLANETARY BOUNDARIES
In late 2017, several illegal attempts were made to sell parcels of land at Kapiti Research Station, located in Kenya's Machakos County and belonging to the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI). The Station conducts long-term research on livestock diseases and related issues of major importance to people in Kenya and throughout the developing world. Groups involved in the fraudulent land grabbing activities trespassed on the Station. Some even attempted to erect illegal structures, which were demolished by the proper authorities. More recently, on 20 October 2018, the Kenya Parliamentary Lands Committee held a hearing about Kapiti Research Station in Mavoko, Machakos County, at which some witnesses provided false testimony about their entitlement to the land and completely mischaracterized the activities and interests of Kapiti and ILRI. To be clear: No land at Kapiti is or ever has been for sale since ILRI acquired it between 1981 and 1987, when the transaction was finalized. ILRI is confident that the Parliamentary Land Commission and the Kenyan legal system will vindicate ILRI's ownership rights of Kapiti Research Station and protect the public goods research being conducted there. In the meantime, Kenya's Director of Public Prosecutions has opened a criminal investigation of fraud and extortion to ensure that the persons responsible for these illegal acts are brought to justice. We urge the public to respect the DPP's directive or face the consequences.
This brief Q&A is intended to set the record straight about what ILRI is, what we're doing at Kapiti, and what makes our title to the land there so secure.
