Saint Francis cord

The **cord of Saint Francis** is a garment worn by the Franciscan Order . It consists of a rope with three or five knots.  These knots have different meanings. The cord is inspired by the Catholic saint Francis of Assisi, who wore it as a belt, although it is much simpler and easier, it was tied just like today to the waist, girding the sackcloth that he took as a habit . 

The cord of Francis of Assisi is preserved in the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli in the city of Assisi in Italy . 

## History 
King Henry III of Castile, a devotee of the saint, created the emblem of the cord of Saint Francis as his personal identity, which was also used by his son John II and his grandson Henry IV. 

The use of the Franciscan cord was considered a clear example of the vow of poverty taken, since at that time money was usually carried in bags tied to the belt, with the visible cord around the waist of the Franciscans being a clear example of their precepts. 

Nowadays, the Franciscans of the Secular Franciscan Order (SFO) have stopped using the habit and today only wear a badge on occasions when meeting with the order, which consists of a scapular and a cord.

## Weather phenomenon 
Francis of Assisi and his cord give their name to the meteorological phenomenon known as The cordonazo of Saint Francis

Azine (heterocycle)

Hantzsch–Widman nomenclature uses the name **azines** for a group of compounds related to benzene. They are aromatic rings where some carbon atoms have been replaced by nitrogen. Because the name "azine" is also used for a different group of chemicals, these chemicals are sometimes called **azabenzenes**.

## Types 
Azines are grouped by the number of nitrogen atoms.
# Azines with one nitrogen atom are called pyridines.
# Azines with two nitrogen atoms are called diazines. They are split up further by how close the nitrogen atoms are: if they are on opposite sides, it is called pyrazine. If they have one carbon atom between them, it is called pyrimidine. If they are next to each other, it is called pyridazine.
# Azines with three nitrogen atoms are called triazines.
# Azines with four nitrogen atoms are called tetrazines.
# Azines with five nitrogen atoms are called pentazines.
# Only one azine with six nitrogen atoms could exist, but has never been made. This hypothetical chemical compound would be an allotrope of nitrogen called hexazine.

Surrey Six massacre

At around 2:40 p.m. PST on October 19, 2007, a drug dealer named Sophon Sek was paid by Red Scorpions gang members Matthew James Johnston, Cody Rae Haevischer, and Denis Karbovanec to lead them to the room of Lal crew member Corey Lal. The Red Scorpion members entered the room and ordered everybody on the ground. As this was happening, an innocent bystander named Chris Mohan was on his way to play basketball when he was spotted and forced to join the others. Another innocent victim was Ed Schellenberg who was doing an inspection on the gas fireplaces in the condo with his nephew before also being forced to join. His nephew managed to escape. They were told to put their heads to the ground and cover them before each one was shot in the head and executed. Around 4 p.m., Norman Carothers, the building manager discovered the bodies of the 6 men and called emergency services. He had first thought there was a gas leak. When the fire department arrived, they called the police after noticing that the bodies had been shot.

## Arrests and convictions
After an investigation, police arrested Cody Haevishcher, Matthew Johnston and Jamie Bacon as suspects in the massacre. This came after Red Scorpions member Denis Karbovanec turned himself into police and confessed to taking part in it. The investigation almost fell apart when it was found out that lead investigator Sergeant Derek Brassington was having sex with one of the former girlfriends of suspect Jamie Bacon. On June 29, 2009, Filipino police arrested Michael Le and another person on an Interpol warrant and they were extradited back to Canada to face trial in their involvement. Police also arrested Sophon Sek on November 26, 2009. Over the course of the trials, the Crown called 73 witnesses to testify.

On December 8, 2014, Le was given a 12 year sentence by the judge after taking a plea deal. The judge cut his time after giving him some time served. On December 12, 2014, Johnston and Haevischer were given sentences of life imprisonment with no chance of parole for 25 years. On December 18, 2015, Sek was given a one-year sentence after taking a plea deal admitting to his involvement.

On July 8, 2020, the Crown dropped the first-degree murder charges against Bacon but wanted him to plead guilty to counselling murder regarding the massacre. On September 10, Bacon was sentenced to 18 years in prison and the judge cut 11 years off of his sentence for time already served in jail. Many people were not happy with this sentence, including the mother of Chris Mohan who pleaded the judge to give Bacon a life sentence. The judge said that the actions of the people investigating the case was the reason she did not give him a life sentence, specifically pointing out the incident of Brassington having sex with a witness.

Réunion bulbul

The **Réunion bulbul** (***Hypsipetes borbonicus***) is a species of the bulbul family of passerine birds. It is a species that regularly occurs in Réunion.

## Taxonomy and systematics 
The Réunion bulbul was first said to be part of the genus *Turdus*. Some authorities also used to think that the Mauritius bulbul was a subspecies of the Réunion bulbul. Other names for the Réunion bulbul include the **Bourbon thrush**, **olivaceous bulbul**, **Réunion black bulbul** and **Réunion merle**.

## Description 
The appearance of the Réunion bulbul is similar to the appearance of the Mauritius bulbul but is slightly smaller with a length of 22&nbsp;cm. It is ashy gray with a blackish crest and the iris is very visibly white. The bill and feet have an orange color.

## Behaviour and ecology 
### Breeding 
The female Réunion bulbul lays two eggs in a cup-shaped nest during the southern summer.

### Food and feeding 
The Réunion bulbul is an animal that most commonly feeds on fruit. In February and March, it moves from areas of higher elevation, where it lives in humid secondary forests, to lower valleys to feed on ripe guavas. Nectar, insects and small lizards are extra parts of its range of food.

### Threats 
Although considered by the IUCN as a species Near Threatened, the Réunion bulbul is no longer a common bird, mainly due to poaching and competition from the red-whiskered bulbul, a non-native bird that has been brought in. In the earlier days of the settlement of Réunion, the Réunion bulbul was hunted for food on a large scale, and was considered as tasty as the ortolan bunting (*Emberiza hortulana*). As late as the 1970s it was hunted to an overly large amount. It is also kept as a pet.

Proceratophrys belzebul

***Proceratophrys belzebul*** is a frog.  It lives in Brazil.

## Body
The adult male frog is 40.5-51.3 mm long from nose to rear end.

## Home
This frog only lives in forests. Scientists saw it in the dead leaves on the ground in forests that were never cut down and forests that are growing back. Scientists saw the frog between 0 and 1000 meters above sea level.

Most of the frog's home is in protected parks. It lives near Parque Estadual da Serra do Mar and may live in it.

## Young
The tadpoles live in streams.

## Danger
Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is not in danger of dying out. Most of its home is in protected parks. In other places, human beings change the places where the frog lives to make farms, tree farms, and places for animals to eat grass. People used to cut down trees to get wood, but this does not happen much now.

Batten disease

**Batten disease**, also known as **neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis**, is a group of genetic diseases where cells cannot filter out waste in the brain and eyes. Over time, it causes seizures, vision loss, and cognitive (thinking) problems. 

It is fatal. This means that it will not get better and affected individuals will end up dying from it. This is called a *terminal illness*. Batten Disease can affect babies, children and, rarely, adults. 

It gets worse as time goes on. It is called a type of childhood dementia because children with it lose skills they have already learnt. They will experience loss of speech, personality changes, clumsiness, myoclonus (jerking of limbs) and episodes of psychosis (being out of touch with reality) similar to an old person with Alzheimer's disease.

## Types of Batten Disease 
There are 14 types of Batten disease. The most common is **CLN3**. Symptoms of CLN3 usually happen in ages 5 to 15. There are other types of Batten disease, such as:

### CLN1 
This happens because a change in the enzyme PPT1. It was first found in Finland during the 1970s. 

Babies with CLN1 develop normally until their 1st year. Their development (how they grow) will slow down and eventually stop. They might have trouble sleeping and become restless. They also develop repetitive hand movements like fiddling or flapping their hands. They often become floppy if they are held. They might not be able to hold up their head. 

By 2 years of age, they might have epilepsy. Their vision will get worse until they become fully blind. They may not know how to communicate anymore and avoid social interaction. They may not be able to play normally and have trouble understanding. 

By the age of 3 years, they are always being taken care of and cannot do much for themselves. They may need a feeding tube. Their arms and legs will get stiff (not be able to move). Unfortunately, children with CLN1 Batten disease die by early childhood.

### CLN2 
This happens because of a broken **CLN2** gene. It was discovered in 1998. Life expectancy is between 8 and 12 years of age.

Moissanite

**Moissanite** () is a kind of silicon carbide, a mineral. It can be found in nature, and it has some polymorphs. 

It has the chemical formula **SiC**. It is a rare mineral, discovered by the French chemist Henri Moissan in 1893.

Origin of the name of the mineral: The mineral form of silicon carbide, was named (after Henri Moissan, or) in honor of Moissan.

Double refraction is a property of moissanite.

The mineral has been found in meteorites.
## Uses (or applications) 
Moissanite came into the jewelry market as a diamond alternative in 1998 after Charles & Colvard (formerly known as C3 Inc.) got patents to create and market some kinds of gemstones; Those stones were (made in a laboratory, or they were) lab-grown silicon carbide gemstones. The company was the first to do that. By 2018, all patents on the original process world-wide, had (ended or) expired. Several companies have used [their own trademark, or] a trademark. Some trademarks that have been used are, *Forever One*, *Forever Brilliant*, and *Forever Classic*. Other manufacturers (sell or) market silicon carbide gemstones under trademarked names such as *Amora*.

Use as a fake diamond: Sometimes the mineral gets used as (a fake or) counterfeit diamond. Testing equipment that (uses or) is based on thermal conductivity can give test results similar to diamond.

Diamond testers (a kind of machine), sometimes make mistakes when used on moissanite.
