The letters, which contained obscenities and false accusations, were written by Edith Swan, a thirty-year-old laundress; she tried to incriminate her neighbour, Rose Gooding, a thirty-year-old married woman. Swan and Gooding ''(both pictured)'' had once been friends, but after Swan made a false report to the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children accusing Gooding of maltreating one of her sister's children, the letters started arriving. Many of them were signed as if from Gooding. Swan brought a private prosecution against Gooding for libel. Gooding was imprisoned twice, but Scotland Yard investigated and cleared her. Swan was prosecuted in December 1921. A similar case of letters being sent over several years was reported in 2024, in the village of Shiptonthorpe, East Yorkshire.

'''''[[wikipedia:Ovalipes_catharus|Ovalipes catharus]]''''', commonly known as the paddle crab, swimming crab, or ''pāpaka'' in Māori, is a species of crab found in shallow, sandy-bottomed waters around the coasts of New Zealand, the Chatham Islands, and uncommonly in southern Australia. This species is an opportunistic, aggressive, and versatile feeder active mostly at night, preying predominantly on molluscs and crustaceans. It is also highly prone to cannibalism, which accounts for over a quarter of its diet in some locations. The crab's paddle-shaped rear legs and streamlined carapace allow it to capture prey by swimming rapidly and to escape predation by burrowing in the sand. Its mating season is in winter and spring, after which the female likely moves into deeper waters to incubate and disperse her larvae. Commercial fisheries have harvested paddle crabs since the 1970s, and ''O. catharus'' is present in Māori culture as both an artistic motif and as a traditional source of food.

<h3 style="padding:3px 7px; margin:8px 0; background-color:#CEDFF2;">Today's Featured Picture</h3>[[File:African Chaffinch (Fringilla spodiogenys) female Sfax.jpg|alt=style=max-width:40%; margin-right:10px;|border|center|950x950px|'''Leopard seal''']]The '''[[African chaffinch]]''' (''Fringilla spodiogenys'') is a species of passerine bird in the genus ''Fringilla''. The African chaffinch is found from southern Morocco to northwestern Libya, and in Italy on the islands of Lampedusa and Pantelleria. There is also an isolated population in northeastern Libya. Its habitat includes deciduous forests and lowlands, and during the nonbreeding season extends its habitat to open areas including weedy fields and olive groves. The diet of the African chaffinch is similar to the Eurasian chaffinch, consisting mostly of small invertebrates and their larvae as well as flowers, seeds, and buds. This female African chaffinch was photographed in Sfax, Tunisia.

The '''[[wikipedia:Golden-shouldered_parrot|golden-shouldered parrot]]''' (''Psephotellus chrysopterygius'') is a rare species of parrot in the family Psittaculidae found in the southern [[wikipedia:Cape_York_Peninsula|Cape York Peninsula]] in [[wikipedia:Queensland|Queensland]], Australia. It is a small bird, with a length of 25 to 27 centimetres (9.8 to 10.6 in) and a mass of 54 to 56 grams (1.9 to 2.0 oz), and is closely related to the more common [[wikipedia:Hooded_parrot|hooded parrot]] and the extinct [[wikipedia:Paradise_parrot|paradise parrot]]. Adult males are mainly blue, with a characteristic yellow area over the shoulder and black cap, while adult females are mainly dull greenish-yellow, and have a broad cream bar on the underside of the wings. This pair of golden-shouldered parrots – a female (left) and a male (right) – were photographed near the [[wikipedia:Peninsula_Developmental_Road|Peninsula Developmental Road]] south of [[wikipedia:Yarraden|Yarraden]], Queensland.
