Allotheria is an extinct branch of successful Mesozoic mammals. The most important characteristic was the presence of lower molariform teeth equipped with two longitudinal rows of cusps. Allotheria includes Multituberculata, Gondwanatheria, and probably Haramiyida, although some studies show them to be more basal mammaliaforms rather than true mammals, therefore differing from true allotheres significantly.

<i>Portrait of Madame Marie-Louise Trudaine</i> Unfinished painting by Jacques-Louis David

The Portrait of Madame Marie-Louise Trudaine is an unfinished 1791–1792 portrait of Marie-Louise Trudaine by the French painter Jacques-Louis David. It was commissioned from David by her brothers-in-law, the Trudaine brothers, members of a family that had provided France with major civil servants such as Daniel-Charles Trudaine since the 17th century. The brothers welcomed David, the poet André Chénier, and other major artists of the time to their Parisian salon at place des Vosges. David became radicalized at the time of the French Revolution in 1792, was elected a deputy to the National Convention, and became an extremist—unlike the Trudaine family, who opted for obscurity.

<i>Life Doesnt Frighten Me</i> 1993 childrens book by Maya Angelou

Life Doesn't Frighten Me is a children's book by American writer Maya Angelou. Originally released in 1993 by Stewart, Tabori, & Chang, the book was conceived and edited by Sara Jane Boyers. It combines a poem written by Angelou with illustrations by American artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. Neither the poem nor the paintings were created specifically for children, yet their simplicity convey feelings to create a "brave, defiant" tale that "celebrates the courage within each of us, young and old." For the 25th anniversary, Life Doesn't Frighten Me was re-released by Abrams Books in 2018.
