Countries With The Most Venomous Animals
Map by reddit user lanson15 Which country has the most venomous animals? Surprisingly, it’s not Australia but Mexico with 80, followed by Brazil with 79 and then Australia with just 66 (they just happen to be more potent). So how is venomous defined here? Reddit user lanson15 used the Living Hazards Database from the Armed Forces Pest Management Board, which “… is a comprehensive compilation of more than 500 species worldwide, which are reported to cause serious injury or death of humans.” In addition to the top 3 countries above, Colombia, India, Indonesia and Vietnam all have over 50 different species apiece. Generally speaking warmer places have more venomous species than colder places, although there are some interesting exceptions to this rule such as the Caribbean, Western Sahara, Madagascar, Bhutan and Lesotho, to name a few. Wonder how this looks in the United States: Similar to the global trend, warmer Southern States have more venomous species than North States.
Free hoodie pattern! – Brindille & Twig blog
I know you’ve been patiently waiting for this sweatshirt so I’m super excited to get it to you! The pattern is a raglan sleeve sweatshirt with a scuba style hood, optional front pocket and arm seam detailing. It’s probably my most favorite pattern for a long time because it’s practical, unique, warm, super comfortable, versatile and beyond adorable! I love pairing it with the regular leggings, slim harems and cuff leggings patterns. Here’s a bit of the tutorial for you to check out. It’s also the pattern I used for the peacock costume, in case you were wondering. With this pattern, you will notice some things have changed in the layout. Like all the patterns, you will print and cut out the pieces in your size. Then, the pieces will have to be cut out of your fabrics: These are just a couple examples, you will need to cut out the front, back and cuffs as well. The first thing to do is sew the pocket on the front of the sweatshirt (this is totally optional by the way)

Royal and noble ranks
Traditional rank amongst European royalty, peers, and nobility is rooted in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages. Although they vary over time and between geographic regions (for example, one region's prince might be equal to another's grand duke), the following is a reasonably comprehensive list that provides information on both general ranks and specific differences. Ranks and titles[edit] Sovereign[edit] Main articles: Monarch and Sovereign Common titles for European and Near Eastern monarchs Note that many titles listed may also be used by lesser nobles – non-sovereigns – depending on the historical period and state. Imperial titles High royal titles King of Kings mostly used in Christian contexts to denote Jesus Christ or the Christian Roman emperors of the Late Empire and Byzantine periods. Royal titles Princely, ducal, and other sovereign titles Religious titles Other sovereigns, royals, peerage, and major nobility[edit] Titles Minor nobility, gentry, and other aristocracy[edit] See also[edit]
