Seconal
Secobarbital sodium (sold as Seconal) is a drug which is used to treat epilepsy and insomnia. Trade names include Seconal and reds. It was first synthesised in 1928. Like other barbiturates, it is fairly addictive. In many countries, using this drug is illegal, outside the medical context. Today, this drug is only used rarely; Barbiturates have been replaced by Benzodiazepine for many applications.
Botulism
Botulism is a rare disease caused by a bacteria called "Clostridium botulinum". You can get it from eating meat that is not cooked properly. Babies can get it as well as adults.
Symptoms include fever, vomiting, difficulty talking and weakness of the facial muscles. Botulism toxin is a major ingredient in botox, a gel that relaxes the facial muscles to make people look younger.
Botulism is caused by a species of "Clostridium", C. botulinum. It is transmitted through food containing endospores or through a wound. The most potent neurotoxin known is produced when the bacteria is exposed to low oxygen and body temperature. Foods which have been improperly canned are responsible for 90% of the cases of botulism. Natural, unpasteurized honey has been known to transmit infection and intoxication with the pathogen and the neurotoxin. Botulism is a neuroparalytic disease causing a flaccid paralysis; the neurotoxin blocks neurotransmitters. This results in an inability to contract muscles. The neurotoxin has been used medically in the management of severe pain by anaesthetists and also cosmetically to reduce wrinkles.
Streptococcus pyogenes

Many of these plants have develped a defence against herbivory: They are poisonous when swallowed. The Euphorbia family is in the group Malpighiales, one of the largest groups in the plant kingdoms. The euphorbia family also includes crotons ("Codiaeum"), castor bean plants ("ricinu"s), and hogworts ("Croton").
Euphorbias are commonly plants that do not need a lot of water, like cacti. Pointsettias are commonly called Christmas flowers. There are many smaller genera in "Euphorbia". "Ricinus" (castor bean plant) is very toxic. It is the second most poisonous plant after "Nerium oleander" (family Apocynaceae).
Pyrola
Pyrola, commonly called wintergreens (also applied to Gaultheria), are plants in the heath family "Ericaceae". They are in the subfamily Pyroloideae of the family Ericaceae. Pyroloideae was treated as a separate family, Pyrolaceae.
Treponema

Northern Ndebele language
Northern Ndebele () is an African language. It is also called Sindebele, Zimbabwean Ndebele or North Ndebele,<ref name="ISO 639-2/RA"></ref><ref name="ISO 639-3/RA"></ref> and formerly known as Matabele. It is part of the Nguni group
of Bantu languages. It is spoken by the amaNdebele, Ndebele and Matabele people of Zimbabwe. It is also known as siNdebele or simply Ndebele.
Ndebele is related to the Zulu language spoken in South Africa. The Ndebele people of Zimbabwe are descended from followers of the Zulu leader Mzilikazi. Mzilikazi and his people left kwaZulu in the early 1800s during the Mfecane. They travelled North, past what is now Gauteng, Mpumalanga and Limpopo, in South Africa, and into Zimbabwe and Botswana. There are Sindebele speakers in many places in Southern Africa.
The Northern Ndebele language and the Southern Ndebele language are "not" two variations of the same language. Both are Bantu languages, but Northern Ndebele is very similar to Zulu. The Southern Ndebele language has similarities to the Sotho and Tswana languages.
It is relatively easy to pronounce Ndebele words because the vowel sounds are constant. (That is, each vowel has basically one sound.) The accent is usually on the second-to-last syllable.
The vowels are "a", "e", "i", "o", and "u". They are pronounced like so:
In Ndebele, there are three click sounds. They are shown with the letters c, q and x.
c is made by placing the tip of the tongue against the front upper teeth and gums, the centre of the tongue is pressed down and the tip of the tongue is moved backwards. The resulting sound is like the sound used in English to express annoyance, called a "clucking sound." Some words with this sound are (end), and (ask)
The q sound is made by raising the back of the tongue to touch the soft palate and touching the gums with the sides and tip of the tongue. The centre of the tongue is pressed down and the tip moved quickly away from the gum. The resulting sound is like the "pop" heard when quickly removing a cork from a bottle. Some words with this sound are (start) and (finish).
The x sound is made by placing the tongue so that the back of the tongue touches the soft palate and the sides and tip of the tongue touch the gums. One side of the tongue is quickly pulled away from the gums. Some words with this sound are (discuss) and (frog).
These are basic phrases in Ndebele.
Doedicurus
Doedicurus was an ancient armadillo are belonging to the family Glyptodontidae. Fossils have been found in Patagonia, in South America. These herbivores (plant-eaters) may have been preyed upon by saber-toothed cats and borhyaenids (extinct dog-like meat-eaters). "Doedicurus" lived during the Ice Ages, during the Pleistocene between 2 million and 15,000 years ago.
