  However metamorphosis evolved, the enormous numbers of metamorphosing insects on the planet speak for its success as a reproductive strategy. The primary advantage of complete metamorphosis is eliminating competition between the young and old. Larval insects and adult insects occupy very different ecological niches. Whereas caterpillars are busy gorging themselves on leaves, completely disinterested in reproduction, butterflies are flitting from flower to flower in search of nectar and mates. Because larvas and adults do not compete with one another for space or resources, more of each can coexist relative to species in which the young and old live in the same places and eat the same things. Ultimately, the impetus for many of life's astounding transformations also explains insect metamorphosis: survival.

  Hi December 10, 2015 Human Rights Day, it becomes better.

  Some have written to OSCE, some decided to protest anonymously on the local congregation level today as far as I know.
  

  I dont know if the UNO was ever contacted by somebody of the EXJW community.

  words my father never spoke.

  "the last time i saw wes he was standing over your baby bed reciting something from--oh, i don't know--shakespeare or the old testament.

  then, he leaned down to kiss you instead of picking you up.

  Thank you very much for taking me for a ride on your dramatic journey. It was like i was in that city bus from the East Baltimore heading downtown on a freshy bitumized Evans Ave. in those early 50's. More than once i was thrilled on the west slope.

  It was like I myself was in that bus, I felt like I had already got on the bus at that Morning Side Elementary school after a school day on that day and had seen you and your Maw Maw got on, then watched you sitting in the rear and had heared you chatting with those friendly "darked skinned". I wonder if i had "hate-stared" too, but perhaps I sat in the midst of the bus and could hear what you told about.

  A story reached my ears while I sat there, the white woman told about SCHMOO a wonderful little boy who developped splendid talents in remembering difficult things with an eidetic memory, what would have astonished them and how she was proud about your grades after you returned again home, you was happy to be at home again.

  How could he only remember those long chains of numbers, they asked, and then she explained to them how you converted numbers into names to memorize constantly, because she saw you doing it.

  The women could have joked, "if he is a little Shmoo, perhaps he even memorizes all the names of our streets the Marion, Ramsey, Mulkey, Powell Harvey Ave. from here up till the Red Water River and Wichita Falls, someday and become president or a famous author".

  You would have looked shy but you certainly have had some secrets in you like the Shmoo of the legend"
  And I would have looked on my latest bad average grades and would have been envious hearing of your memorizing talents and your courage sitting there in the rear inmidst of these coloured.

  Didnt one of the Shmoos grow up and become Barbapapa in the late 60's? Dont know.

  But one thing is sure, we here your readers, you catched me ...

  "I m a Shmoo".

  So your great-grandfather, Matthew Hybarger, was an economic refugee at that time.

  Like hundred of thousands Germans who emigrated to America. He might have been a governing mayor or deputy burgomaster somewhere in Germany, what we dont know for certain, but he told that he was or perhaps he joked. Because of the economic crises, poverty "pauperism" (transition from feudal system to early industrialisation) in Germany and of strict guild laws that existed he perhaps decided to leave the country and begin a new life in his best age. His parents bid farwell. He accepted a dangerous passage and happily arrived in New York, perhaps. He as talented man like many other germans helped to build up the new world. At least built a house for Groogie and planted many trees, yes, because in America he met this wonderful woman and he even remembered Avery.

  Maybe he was that M. Heuberger whom I found in the passengers list of 1860 who went on board as 28 year old and left Hamburg way New York, maybe he was a man who hung the moon too.

  Thats interesting how Groogie was prepared for every case, that was probably her kind of handling matters.

  Hybarger is a name of german origin, as you mention Matthew Hybarger was german boilermaker. I was simple curious if i could find the name in the internet immigration list of the 19th century.

  "Hy" is the "hay" or "hei" or "heu" and barger is berger = mountain. But I couldnt find Matthew Hybarger or even a Matthäus Heuberger/Heiberger in the immigration list over google. I had no exact match. - http://search.ancestry.com/. That would be another story. Perhaps you have distinct relatives in Europe.
