A specimen of Rana was collected at 24°34'5. 06″ N, 104°54'18. 15″ E, altitude at 1, 359 m in Jinzhongshan Mrs. Hume's Pheasant National Nature Reserve of Guangxi, China in July 2021. Compared the morphological characteristics with other species of the genus Rana the specimen is similar to R. chaochiaoensis. The Bayesian inference and Maximum likelihood trees constructed based on 12S rRNA and 16S rRNA genes sequences showed that this specimen was clustered with the R. chaochiaoensis type locality specimen with very high support. The genetic distance between the specimen and R. chaochiaoensis was 0. 4%, was much lower than that between other Rana species. Combined with morphological and molecular identifications, the specimen collected in Longlin was identified as R. chaochiaoensis, which provides the new evidence for the distribution of R. chaochiaoensis in Guangxi.

The article discusses several court cases. An appellant was convicted at Northampton, England's Crown Court on two counts of incitement to distribute an indecent photograph of a child and three counts of attempting to incite the distribution of an indecent photograph of a child.

In this article the effect of defense spending on aggregate output is discussed. Recent publications in this area are reviewed and new additional evidence is provided. The findings presented in this paper are supportive of the positive effect of defense spending. However, in light of the contrary evidence presented in other papers, empirical evidence taken as a whole, suggests that a definitive conclusion about the effect of defense spending at this time should be avoided.
