Henicopsaltria eydouxii, commonly known as the razor grinder, is a large species of cicada native to eastern Australia.[1] Predominantly brown in colour, it is found in wet sclerophyll forest in December and January and is quite common in Brisbane.

[hide]Taxonomy
The razor grinder was first described in 1838 by Félix Édouard Guérin-Méneville as Cicada eydouxii before being moved to the new genus Henicopsaltria in 1866. It is the type species.[2] Its common name refers to its harsh call, which has been likened to the noise of a metal grinder.[2]
Description
The razor grinder is a large cicada with a forewing measuring 50-55 mm.[1] Males and females are similar in color and markings. The head and thorax is red-brown with black markings. The wings are transparent with some brown discoloration.[2]
The male's call lasts for a few seconds, increases in volume,[3] suddenly stops, and then suddenly starts again.[4] They usually silently feed throughout the afternoon, and then groups call at maximum volume around dusk.[3] There is a secondary population, referred to as the Laughing Razor Grinder, which is only observed in rainforest and wet sclerophyll forest, and has a distinct call.[3]
Razor grinders can also emit a distress call – a fragmented irregular noise – upon being seized by a predator.[5]
Behaviour
Male razor grinders sing in large groups on the main trunks of tall eucalypts, especially spotted gum (Corymbia maculata).[1][3]
Adult razor grinders are wary and flig
Mercedes-Benz SLK AMG (12 on) - Review
The Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG Roadster is a convertible performance car with a folding hard-top.
It’s based upon the regular SLK but comes with a huge petrol engine which makes it one seriously quick cabriolet. While it’s not the best driver’s car in its class – the Porsche Boxster takes that title - it’s extremely quick and does offer the enthusiastic driver a level of enjoyment befitting its price tag.
Big petrol engine
The engine in the SLK 55 is the real news here. It’s a 5.5-litre V8 which develops enough power to get it to 62mph in 4.6 seconds. Its top speed is electronically limited to 155mph. On the road those performance figures are believable, but the thing you really notice isn’t the speed. It’s the noise this car makes.
Bellowing out from the quartet of exhaust pipes, there’s a thunderous roar from the V8 as the rear tyres battle to hook into the tarmac and get you on your way.
Thanks to its rear-wheel drive configuration it handles fairly well too, the steering sharp and precise and the controls well-weighted. All that grunt is metred out through a seven-speed automatic gearbox which Mercedes calls ‘Speedshift Plus’, yet despite the name it isn’t the quickest thing in the world to change gear when left in ‘Comfort’ mode.
Press the button to change to Sport mode and this sharpens things up a touch, the changes coming with noticeably more ferocity. The finally option is Manual mode, which allows the driver to change gears using the paddles mounted behind the steering wheel.
Slow roof
While it’ll beat a Porsche Boxster to 62mph, we suspect that if you had to live with either car every day you’d end up with the Porsche. As well as being a more rewarding driver’s car, the Porsche’s roof operates twice as quickly while travelling at over twice the speed of the SLK’s.
Inside the cabin you’ll find a blend of familiar Mercedes switchgear and AMG badging which serves to remind you you’re driving something a little bit special – not that you’d forget it once the car barks into life when you turn the key.
To find out more about this monster engine, and the car around it, read on for the full Parkers Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG review.

Navy divers recover 5 bodies from Indian submarine INS Sindhurakshak
New Delhi (CNN) -- Navy divers have recovered five bodies so far from an Indian navy submarine that exploded and sank in Mumbai this week, authorities said Saturday.
The Indian government warned that there was almost no hope of finding any survivors among the 13 other sailors who were in the submarine when it was hit by the unexplained blast at a naval dockyard early Wednesday.
Navy divers searching the trapped submarine for three days have recovered five bodies so far.
Their task has been complicated by poor visibility inside the stricken submarine's passageways, which are full of oily, muddy water and wreckage. Adding to their difficulties, the heat of the explosion warped some of the hatches inside the vessel, blocking the divers' access to certain areas.
The bodies found so far are unidentifiable because they were so severely burned, authorities said. They have been taken to a naval hospital for DNA identification.
Searching 'every inch'
The state of the bodies and conditions inside the INS Sindhurakshak, a Russian-built submarine, mean that "finding any surviving personnel within the submarine is unlikely," the ministry said.
"The feasibility of locating bodies of personnel in the forward part of the submarine is also very remote, as the explosion and very high temperatures, which melted steel within, would have incinerated the bodies, too," it warned.
But divers will scour through submarine until all the bodies are recovered, the ministry said.
Authorities say they have contacted the families of all the 18 missing personnel and are keeping them updated.
Worst peacetime disaster
An investigation into the explosion and fire -- the Indian navy's worst peacetime disaster -- is under way. Navy officials say they so far can't pinpoint the cause.
Salvage work on the diesel-electric submarine won't begin until the search for bodies is over, the defense ministry said.
The Sindhurakshak had recently returned from an extensive refitting in Russia before the disaster.
Psalms
Numbering of the Psalms differs — mostly by one digit, see table — between the Hebrew (Masoretic) and Greek (Septuagint) manuscripts.Protestant translations (Lutheran, Anglican, Calvinist) use the Hebrew numbering, but other Christian traditions vary:
- Catholic official liturgical texts follow the Greek numbering
- Catholic modern translations often use the Hebrew numbering (noting the Greek number)
- Eastern Orthodox translations use the Greek numbering
For the remainder of this article the Hebrew numbering is used, unless otherwise noted.
The variance between Massorah and Septuagint texts in this numeration is likely enough due to a gradual neglect of the original poetic form of the Psalms; such neglect was occasioned by liturgical uses and carelessness of copyists. It is admitted by all that Pss. 9 and 10 were originally a single acrostic poem; they have been wrongly separated by Massorah, rightly united by the Septuagint and Vulgate. On the other hand Ps. 144 is made up of two songs — verses 1-11 and 12-15.[3] Pss. 42 and 43 are shown by identity of subject (yearning for the house of Jahweh), of metrical structure and of refrain (cf. Heb. Ps. 42:6, 12; 43:5), to be three strophes of one and the same poem. The Hebrew text is correct in counting as one Ps. 146 and Ps. 147. Later liturgical usage would seem to have split up these and not a few other psalms. Zenner (Die Chorgesange im Buche der Psalmen, II, Freiburg im Br., 1896) ingeniously combines into what he deems were the original choral odes: Pss. 1, 2, 3, 4; 6 + 13; 9 + 10; 19, 20, 21; 156 + 157; 69 + 70; 114 + 115; 148, 149, 150. A choral ode would seem to have been the original form of Pss. 14 + 70. The two strophes and the epode are Ps. 14; the two antistrophes are Ps. 70 (cf. Zenner-Wiesmann, Die Psalmen nach dem Urtext, Munster, 1906, 305). It is noteworthy that, on the breaking up of the original ode, each portion crept twice into the Psalter: Ps. 14 = 53, Ps. 80 = 40:14-18. Other such duplicated psalms are Ps. 108:2-6 = Ps. 57:8-12; Ps. 108:7-14 = Ps. 60:7-14; Ps. 71:1-3 = Ps. 31:2-4. This loss of the original form of some of the psalms is allowed by the Biblical Commission (1 May 1910) to have been due to liturgical uses, neglect of copyists, or other causes.
Other psalms
Most manuscripts of the Septuagint also include a Psalm 151, present in Eastern Orthodox translations; a Hebrew version of this poem was found in the Psalms Scroll of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The Psalms Scroll presents the Psalms in an order different from that found elsewhere, and also contains a number of non-canonical poems and hymns in the same style as the canonical Psalms, suggesting that the current collection of 150 may have been selected from a wider set.
Some versions of the Peshitta also include Psalms 152–155.
There are also the Psalms of Solomon, which are 18 psalms of Jewish origin — likely originally written in Hebrew, but only surviving in Greek and Syriac translation. They are not accepted as canonical by any major contemporary Jewish or Christian group.
