Hymnal

A hymnal is a collection of hymns. All the people ("the congregation") usually sing some of these hymns, during a Christian religious service. A hymnal is different form a song book; each group has its own hymnal. Groups who aren't religious also have hymnals: there's one for scouts, there are hymals for different student associations, or for soldiers.
Hymnals usually contain the text of the hymn, and sometimes there are scores (which render the melody). For hymns that are well-known, the score may be missing.

Canadian Albums Chart

The Canadian Albums Chart is the official album sales chart in Canada. It is compiled every Wednesday by U.S.-based music sales tracking company Nielsen Soundscan, and published every Thursday by Jam! Canoe, along with its sister charts the Canadian Singles Chart and the Canadian BDS Airplay Chart.
The chart has 200 positions, however, Jam! only publishes the top 100 for the public. Unlike the case with its CD single equivalent (the Canadian Singles Chart), album sales are not declining as rapidly in Canada as CD singles are, and the Canadian Albums Chart remains the most reliable source for the most popular albums in Canada.

Chandra X-ray Observatory

The Chandra X-ray Observatory (CXO) is a space telescope launched by NASA on July 23, 1999.
Chandra is sensitive to X-ray sources 100 times fainter than any previous X-ray telescope. This is done by the high angular resolution of its mirrors. Since the Earth's atmosphere absorbs the vast majority of X-rays, Earth-based telescopes cannot detect them. Space-based telescopes are needed to make these observations. Chandra is an Earth satellite in a 64-hour orbit, and its mission is ongoing as of 2021.
Chandra is one of the Great Observatories, with the Hubble Space Telescope, Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (1991-2000), and the Spitzer Space Telescope. The telescope is named after Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar.

Ion cannon

In science fiction, an ion cannon is a beam weapon. It shoots beams of ions (atoms or molecules with an electrical charge). Because of its power, it is usually said to be a superweapon. An ion cannon is a type of particle cannon. The particles it shoots are ionized. Because of their electrical charges, they can cause electronic devices, vehicles, and anything else that has an electrical or similar power source to stop working. Ion cannons are used in many science-fiction movies and television series. Ion cannons are also used in many video games.
Real-world connections
The science fiction idea for these weapons comes from the particle cannon created by Nikola Tesla. Tesla's cannon shot ions into the ionosphere. This caused them to be charged more. Research of this idea is still being done with directed-energy weapons.
Media references
In the Star Wars universe, Ion weapons are common. They range from handheld pistols to star ship cannons. Ion weapons are mainly used to stop electronic systems from working. They can stop vehicles, droids and starships without doing any damage. In Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, the Rebel Alliance uses a large ion cannon on the planet Hoth to disable Imperial Star Destroyers near the planet. This is done to stop them from firing on Rebel ships trying to leave the planet. The Jawas used ion blasters to disable R2-D2.
In StarCraft, Raynor's faction is stopped from leaving because of Tarsonis' ion cannon. The weapon is destroyed as part of a mission.
In the computer game Conquest: Frontier Wars, huge Ion Cannon space stations can be built.
In Master of Orion 2, Ion cannons are used to damage ship's internal systems. They are not stopped by armor.
In the Pixar movie WALL-E, the robot EVE has an ion cannon in her right arm.
Destroy All Humans! and its sequels has a weapon called the Ion Detonator.
In the Command & Conquer franchise the Global Defense Initiative (GDI) uses an orbital ion cannon as that faction superweapon.
In Microsoft Urban Assault, a technologically-advanced alien faction Mykonians possess weapon systems that are entirely comprised of various types of ion cannons for their armament.

The orange-spotted leaf frog (Callimedusa perinesos) is a frog that lives in Ecuador and Colombia. Scientists have seen it up in the mountains, between 1410 and 1740 meters above sea level.
The pupils of this frog's eyes are vertical: they go up and down and open side to side. This frog's Latin name comes from the purple color on its skin. It is mostly green in color, with white spots on its sides.
The adult male frog is to cm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is to long.
When it is time to lay eggs, the female frog lays 52 to 62 eggs at a time on a leaf and then folds the leaf around the eggs. She puts jelly on the eggs to hold the nest together and to stop the eggs from drying out. When the tadpoles hatch, they fall out of the nest into the water.

Empoli

Empoli is a town in Tuscany, Italy, about 30 km southwest of Florence. It is 30 m above sea-level, to the south of the Arno. The plain of the town has been usable for agriculture since Roman times. Empoli is on the main railway line from Florence to Pisa and is well joined with the city of Siena.
Empoli has a long tradition as an agricultural centre. It has given its name to a local kind of artichoke.
History
Empoli was already settled in the time of the early Roman Empire, and still existed in the 4th century AD. The river near the city was a good route for the trade of agricultural products, together with the local amphorae.
Since the 8th century Empoli grew as a town around the castle, known as Emporium or Empolis. In 1119 it was controlled by Guidi. In 1182 it went under Florentine rule. In 1260, after the Battle of Montaperti, Empoli was the seat of a famous council in which Farinata degli Uberti opposed the destruction of Florence. Later Empoli became an important fortress.
Important places and monuments
The Piazza Farinata degli Uberti, also known as Piazza dei Leoni ("Lions Square"), in the middle there is a fountain by Luigi Pampaloni (1827). Here lies the Collegiata di Sant'Andrea, the main city's monument.
The Palazzo Ghibellino is the former palace of the Guidi counts. It was probably built in the 11th century.
The Palazzo Pretorio was the Town Hall in the Middle Ages.
In the frazione of Pontorme is the house of the painter Pontormo.

Santa Catalina rattlesnake

The Santa Catalina Rattlesnake (Crotalus catalinensis), also known as the "Santa Catalina Island Rattlesnake", is a species of venomous Pit viper found only on Santa Catalina Island in the Gulf of California. There are currently no subspecies recognized.
Description
The Santa Catalina Rattlesnake is a small and slender species of rattlesnake. It can grow up to the length of 73.1 centimeters (28.8 in), and is known for being one of the few rattlesnakes which don't have a rattle on the end of their tail. Some Santa Catalina Rattlesnakes are light cream in color with reddish-brown blotches down their back, while some are ash gray with dark gray blotches on them.
Behavior
While other rattlesnakes of the genus "Crotalus" are mainly terrestrial (live on land), the Santa Catalina Rattlesnake's small size makes it very good climber. In July, the hottest month on Santa Catalina Island, the Santa Catalina Rattlesnake is found on branches of bushes and trees so they can escape the heat on the ground.
Feeding
Since the Santa Catalina Rattlesnake lives mainly in trees, scientist first thought this rattlesnake eats birds, but scientist have now found out that around 70% of the Santa Catalina Rattlesnake's diet is made up of small mammals like the Santa Catalina Deer Mouse, and around 30% is made up of lizards like the Santa Catalina Desert Iguana and the Santa Catalina Side-blotched lizard.

Defensive tackle

A defensive tackle is a position in American and Canadian football.
Defensive tackles typically line up in the center of the defensive line. As some of the largest players (in size) on the field, defensive tackles try to make it hard for the quarterback to throw the ball by blocking offensive linemen and tackles who protect the quarterback. They rarely do anything else.
In the National Football League, defensive tackles may wear numbers in the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 90s, but may wear any number they chose in college football.
