Keith George Faure, from Norlane, Victoria, is an Australian career criminal, convicted of multiple murders and manslaughters. He is serving life imprisonment with a minimum non-parole period of 19 years for his role in two murders related to the Melbourne gangland killings. Faure's criminal history includes further convictions for armed robbery and breaking and entering. Faure and Chopper Read continued a lengthy prison war while imprisoned in Melbourne's Pentridge Prison during the 1970s and 1980s and Faure features prominently in Read's first few books. Faure was the basis for the character of Keithy George in the film Chopper, stabbed to death in the film's opening scenes. Faure, portrayed by actor David Field, was reported to be unhappy with his portrayal and used his anger at his depiction in the film as a defence in a minor traffic offence. In the drama series Underbelly Faure is played by Kym Gyngell although as with several other characters his name is not mentioned in the series due to a court order.

Faure's grandfather, Norman Leslie Bruhn, was reported to be a Sydney-based gangster who operated during the 1920s. He was shot and killed in 1927 during a hit ordered by John "Snowy" Cutmore, who died with Squizzy Taylor in a Melbourne shoot-out four months later, his brother, Leslie Faure, is serving a 14-year prison sentence for the murder of his girlfriend, killed in 1997. Faure's youngest brother, Noel Faure, was convicted of manslaughter for the 1990 killing of Frank Truscott of Rye, Victoria. Faure received two murder convictions. On 4 June 1976, two accomplices set out to rob the Clifton Hill branch of the ANZ Bank. Faure was convicted of shooting Senior Constable Michael Pratt in the back during the robbery. Pratt was awarded the George Cross award for bravery, however he was forced to retire from the police force due to injuries sustained in the shooting by Faure. Faure was sentenced to four years' imprisonment for his role in the shooting of Pratt. Faure was found guilty of the manslaughter of Shane Dennis Rowland, shot dead on 1 May 1976 at a house in Richmond.

Faure was found guilty of the manslaughter of prisoner Alan Sopulak in 1976 at Pentridge prison. Sopulak died; the body of Melbourne underworld figure, Lewis Caine, was found dumped in a residential street in Brunswick on 8 May 2004. On 3 November 2005, Faure and Evangelos Goussis were convicted for the murder of Lewis Caine, the first murder convictions related to the Melbourne underworld wars. On 31 March 2004 Lewis Moran and associate Herbert Wrout were shot while drinking at the Brunswick Club in Sydney Road, Brunswick. Faure was paid A$150,000 by Tony Mokbel for the murder of Moran, of which $140,000 was collected. On 5 December 2005, during the committal hearing for the murder of Lewis Moran, Faure fainted in the dock and was attended to by paramedics after suffering a suspected stroke. Faure pleaded guilty to the murder of Moran. On 3 May 2006, Faure was sentenced to 24 years' imprisonment for the murder of Lewis Caine and life imprisonment with a non-parole period of 19 years for the murder of Lewis Moran.

Faure gave evidence against others in both of these murders in a deal with the prosecution in return for a reduced sentence

The Lesser Antillean iguana is a large arboreal lizard endemic to the Lesser Antilles. It is one of two species of lizard of the genus Iguana and is in severe decline due to habitat destruction, introduced feral predators and hybridization with its introduced sister species, the green iguana. Successful captive breeding of this species has been limited to only two instances, as most captive-laid eggs tend to be infertile. Other common names for it are West Indian iguana; the generic name iguana is derived from a Spanish form of the Taino name for the species. Its specific name delicatissima is Latin for "delicate"; the species was first described by Austrian naturalist Josephus Nicolaus Laurenti in 1768. The Lesser Antilles iguana has a more blocky, shortened face than the green iguana and lacks the distinctive stripe pattern present along the green iguana's tail; the feature that most distinguishes these two species is the large, round scale that the green iguana has below each ear hole but which the Lesser Antillean iguana lacks.

The Lesser Antillean iguana varies in color between different island populations, but the base color tends to be gray, with green splotching on the underside. They have ivory colored scales on their heads; the jowls of males are pink and the scales around the eyes are blue. Males have femoral pores along each inner thigh that exude pheromones during breeding season. Males are 40 cm long, with an 80 cm tail when full-grown. Females are two-thirds this size; the Lesser Antillean iguana is found in scrub woodlands and mangroves throughout the Lesser Antilles on Saint Barth, Anguilla, St. Eustatius, Guadeloupe and Martinique. Lesser Antillean iguanas are herbivores, feeding on leaves, flowers and growing shoots of upwards of 100 different species of plant; the Lesser Antillean iguana is found on the IUCN Red List. The Lesser Antillean iguana is protected from hunting throughout its range, but enforcement of these regulations is difficult and therefore limited. Other threats include habitat loss to agriculture and development and the introduction of feral predators such as dogs and mongooses.

The species' greatest threat is from its own relative. The green iguana has been introduced to the Lesser Antilles as an invasive species and directly competes with the Lesser Antillean iguana for food and resources. In addition, the green iguana has been interbreeding with the Lesser Antillean iguana and this hybridization has been the number one reason for the latter species' decline on at least three of the islands: Les Iles des Saintes, Basse Terre and St. Barthélemy. After a group of green iguanas washed ashore after hurricane Luis in 1995 on the island of Saint Martin, the endemic Lesser Antillean iguana population was gone within twenty years. Captive Lesser Antillean iguanas are kept at the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, the Chester Zoo, the Memphis Zoo, the San Diego Zoo's Center for Reproduction of Endangered Species. All individuals originate from the Commonwealth of Dominica. Breeding and keeping the species in captivity is difficult. Mating and egg laying have occurred at each institution.

Following on from this success, 11 iguanas hatched at Durrell in 2016 and they will be sent to zoos across Europe in an effort to promote and support the urgent conservation work for this species. In 2018 four captured iguanas from Sint Eustatius were sent to Blijdorp zoo in Rotterdam, The Netherlands for a breeding programme.

Curd is a dairy product obtained by coagulating milk in a process called curdling. The coagulation can be caused by adding rennet or any edible acidic substance such as lemon juice or vinegar, allowing it to coagulate; the increased acidity curds. Milk, left to sour will naturally produce curds, sour milk cheeses are produced this way. Producing cheese curds is one of the first steps in cheesemaking; the remaining liquid, which contains only whey proteins, is the whey. In cow's milk, 90 percent of the proteins are caseins. In Indian English, used only in the Indian subcontinent, curd or curds instead refers to the traditional homemade yogurt, while paneer and chhena are used to denote curdled milk. Though people consider curd and yogurt to be the same, there's a thin line of difference between the two; the preparation of curd requires a lactobacillus bacteria, while yogurt is made using two specific strains of bacteria called Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. Bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus bacteria.

Other strains of lactic acid bacteria may be added. There are two methods to make curd, with acid. Using acid, like lemon juice, to make curd releases the lactose into the water, thus the solid curd formed from this method is good for people with lactose intolerance. This type of curd is known as Chhena in India. Using rennet to make curd attaches the lactose to the solid coagulated proteins, thus it is not recommended for people with lactose intolerance. This type of curd is the commercial cheese available in supermarkets, such as Cheddar, Swiss, Parmesan. Vegetarian rennet from Withania coagulans, is used to make paneer in India. Curd products vary by region and include cottage cheese, curd cheese, farmer cheese, pot cheese, queso blanco, paneer; the word can refer to a non-dairy substance of similar appearance or consistency, though in these cases a modifier or the word curdled is used. In England, curds produced using rennet are referred to as junket. Cheese curds, drained of the whey and served without further processing or aging, are popular in some French-speaking regions of Canada, such as Quebec, parts of Ontario, Atlantic Canada.

Throughout Canada cheese curds are served with french fries and gravy in a popular snack called poutine. Curds are typical of some Germanic-descent regions such as historic Waterloo County in Ontario. In some parts of the Midwestern U. S. in Wisconsin, curds are eaten fresh without further additions, or they are breaded and fried. In Turkey, curds are called keş and are served on fried bread and are eaten with macaroni in the provinces of Bolu and Zonguldak. In Mexico, chongos zamoranos is a dessert prepared with milk curdled with cinnamon. Albanian gjiza is made by adding vinegar or lemon; the derivative is salted to taste. Gjiza can be served or refrigerated for a couple of days. Aarts, Mongolian fermented curd, eaten as a dried snack or reconstituted as a hot beverage Chongos zamoranos, a dessert prepared with milk curdled with sugar and cinnamon Cuajada sweetened and eaten for breakfast or dessert, popular in Spain and Central America Curd snack, a snack popular in the Baltic States Çökelek, a form of fermented buttermilk or yogurt curd from Turkey Kurt or Qurut, central Asian cheese curd Ostkaka, Swedish style cheese cake, some call it a Swedish National dish Paskha, a Russian Easter dessert made of quark Ricotta, an Italian whey cheese Skyr, Icelandic curd Tofu, the coagulated product from soy milk, from eastern and south-eastern Asian countries Túró Rudi, a Hungarian chocolate bar with curd Urdă, a Balkans fresh white cheese made from whey.
