865234 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint-Jean-Baptiste%20Day | Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day | Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day (), also known in English as St John the Baptist Day is an official holiday in the Canadian province of Quebec. It takes place annually on June 24. Although, it is not the official name of this holiday, it is popularly known and called in Quebec, as the Fête nationale du Quebec (National Holiday of Quebec).
Originally a religious day, it was brought to Canada by French settlers in the 1600s, celebrating the traditional feast day of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist. It was declared a public holiday in Quebec in 1925. In 1977, Quebec declared Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day the national day of Quebec.
Other Canadian provinces and territories also have their own official holidays celebrating the foundation of their provinces or territories. Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day differs from them, that it is today celebrated like a national day rather than a religious holiday, because it became highly politicized with the rise of Quebec nationalism and separatism. As a result, the religious symbolism of this day is largely forgotten, and acts as a counter holiday for Quebec nationalists and separatists against Canada Day.

865360 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane%20Grace | Hurricane Grace | Hurricane Grace was a very strong Category 3 Atlantic hurricane in the western Bay of Campeche. Grace intensified into a major hurricane on the evening of August 21, 2021. The storm was predicted to move into eastern Mexico near Veracruz state late Friday night August 20 or early Saturday morning August 21.
Before moving toward Mexico, Grace came ashore near Barahona in the southwest Dominican Republic as a strong tropical depression in the early afternoon of Monday, August 16. The storm brushed Haiti the following day. This interfered with the rescue operation after the then-recent earthquake that struck the country three days before. Just before 2am Atlantic Standard Time on August 17, Grace intensified back to a tropical storm
Grace made its first Mexican strike in Quintana Roo near Tulum on the Mexican Yucatán Peninsula on the morning of Thursday, August 19 with winds near eighty miles per hour around 4:45 am Central Daylight Time. This was after a hurricane-related flight finding winds in the storm just beyond tropical storm-force. Eleven hours after that classification, Grace began moving over Jamaica. It struck at Annotta Bay in Saint Mary Parish on the northeastern region of that island in the late morning of August 17. The winds were near 50 miles per hour when the storm struck the island.
When the storm traveled into the Caribbean late on August 17, it began getting stronger. Grace rapidly organized while it passed south of the Cayman Islands. The following day, August 18, Grace was classified as a Category 1 hurricane right before 11am Eastern Daylight Time that Wednesday morning.

865370 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children%27s%20rights | Children's rights | Human rights apply to everyone, they also apply to children. Children also have other rights, which are related to them being vulnerable while they grow up. These rights are usually called Children's rights. They are provided by different treaties, such as the Hague Protection of Minors Convention, of 1961. Most countries have ratified these treaties. This means that they are part of international customary law: They apply to all children, in all countries; even in those countries which haven't ratified the treaties.
United Nations educational guides for children classify the rights outlined in the Convention on the Rights of the Child as the "3 Ps": Provision, Protection, and Participation.
They are:
Provision: Children have the right to an adequate standard of living, health care, education and services, and to play and recreation. These include a balanced diet, a warm bed to sleep in, and access to schooling.
Protection: Children have the right to protection from abuse, neglect, exploitation and discrimination. This includes the right to safe places for children to play; constructive child rearing behavior. It is also about fact that children are still developing, and their abililties grow better when they grow older.
Participation: Children have the right to take part in communities and have programs and services for themselves. This includes children's involvement in libraries and community programs, youth voice activities, and involving children as decision-makers.
In a similar fashion, the Child Rights International Network (CRIN) categorizes rights into two groups:
Economic, social and cultural rights are about basic human needs: food, shelter, education, health care, and paid work are part of this group. The rights to education, adequate housing, food, water, the highest attainable standard of health, the right to work and rights at work, as well as the cultural rights of minorities and native peoples are also included.
Environmental, cultural and developmental rights are sometimes called "third generation rights": They include the right to live in safe and healthy environments and that groups of people have the right to cultural, political, and economic development.
Amnesty International openly advocates four particular children's rights, including the end to children being imprisoned without parole, an end to the recruitment of children as soldiers, ending the death penalty for people under 21, and raising awareness of human rights in the classroom.Human Rights Watch, an international advocacy organization, includes child labour, juvenile justice, orphans and abandoned children, refugees, street children and corporal punishment.
Scholars usually look at individual rights. The following rights "allow children to grow up healthy and free":
Freedom of speech
Freedom of thought
Freedom from fear
Freedom of choice and the right to make decisions
Ownership over one's body

865401 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern%20brown%20kiwi | Southern brown kiwi | The southern brown kiwi or tokoeka (Apteryx australis) is a bird in the family Apterygidae. It lives in New Zealand. This bird does not fly. It runs on the ground.
Appearance
The southern brown kiwi is about 45 cm long. The adult male kiwi weighs about 2.4 kilograms and the adult female weighs about 3.1 kilograms. The birds living on Stewart Island are the largest. It has red-brown feathers and no tail. It has a long, curved beak. The nostrils are at the end of the beak and not up at the top near the rest of its face.
Habitat and food
The southern brown kiwi lives in forests, scrublands, grasslands and up in hills below the Alpine zone.
Before human beings came to New Zealand, tokoeka lived in many parts of the southern and eastern part of the South Island as far north as North Canterbury.
Most southern brown kiwis hide during the day in burrows, areas with plants or hollow trees and look for food at night, but others look for food during the day. They walk along the ground and tap their beaks against it. They eat animals without bones, for example earthworms, insect larvae, centipedes, spiders and weta. Kiwis fight each other over good places to find food.
The kiwi's closest relative is the elephant bird. It lived in Madagascar long ago. Its closest living relatives are the emu and cassowary.
Eggs
Both male and female southern brown kiwi sit on the eggs in the nest. Sometimes other adult kiwi will help too.
Threats
Before human beings came to live in New Zealand, the southern brown kiwi lived all through the south and east of New Zealand's South Island. There are fewer southern brown kiwi today because human beings change the places where they live and because dogs, cats, stoats and other introduced species eat them. To save the southern brown kiwi, some humans take their eggs and chicks and raise them on islands where there are no stoats.
Subspecies
There are two or three subspecies of southern brown kiwi: Everyone agrees that the Fiordland tokoeka (A. a. australis) and the Stewart Island tokoeka (A. a. lawryi) are subspecies. Scientists do not think that the Haast tokoeka (A. a. Haast) is a real subspecies, but the people trying to keep the birds alive decided it was easier to save the birds if they acted as if it were a third subspecies.
History
For years, historians disagreed about where Western scientists found the first kiwi specimen, meaning the first dead kiwi that they brought back to universities for study. The first speciimen is usually the one scientists use as a holotype. The holotype is the individual plant or animal that scientists use for the first formal scientific writeup of a species.
George Shaw from the British Museum wrote the first paper about the kiwi in 1813 in his group of books Vivarium naturae. A friend had brought him the kiwi skin. The friend got it from a ship captain named Andrew Barclay. He was captain of a fighting ship and prisoner transport ship called the Providence. It wasn't clear exactly where the ship captain got it.
In 2019, scientists took a tiny piece of the kiwi skin and did DNA analysis. They found the dead kiwi was most closely related to kiwis from Rakiura, an island south of New Zealand's South Island.

865408 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phyllomedusa | Phyllomedusa | Phyllomedusa is a genus of tree frogs in the family Phyllomedusidae. These frogs live in tropical and subtropical South America and Panama. There are 16 species in this genus.
Secretion
Some Phyllomedusa frogs make a waxy substance that stops water from leaving their bodies through their skins. If the frogs begin to dry out, they spread the waxy substance over their skin.
Reproduction
These frogs put their eggs on leaves above water. They put jelly next to the eggs. Then the frogs fold the leaves around the eggs with their legs. The jelly acts as a plug so the eggs do not fall out. When the tadpoles hatch, the jelly turns to liquid and the tadpoles fall through into the water below.
Scientific classification
Most of these species are in Phyllomedusa, but some scientists say some of these frogs should be in Pithecopus instead.
Phyllomedusa azurea (in Pithecopus)
Phyllomedusa bahiana
Phyllomedusa bicolor, giant leaf frog
Phyllomedusa boliviana
Phyllomedusa burmeisteri, Burmeister's leaf frog

Phyllomedusa tetraploidea
Phyllomedusa trinitatis
Phyllomedusa vaillantii, white-lined leaf frog

Scientists used to put some other frogs in Phyllomedusa, but now they put them in other phyllomedusid genera: Callimedusa and Pithecopus.

865451 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane%20Henri%20%282021%29 | Hurricane Henri (2021) | Hurricane Henri (pronounced ohn-REE) was an Atlantic hurricane in August 2021. The hurricane threatened Long Island in southeastern New York State and southern New England. Henri threatened being the first hurricane to move across Long Island since Hurricane Gloria in September 1985 and into New England since Hurricane Bob just over thirty years earlier.
Henri was first classified by the National Hurricane Center as Tropical Depression Eight around 11:00 pm Atlantic Standard Time on August 16. Later that day, the depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Henri.
Tropical storm and hurricane notices were put into effect over Long Island, northeastern New Jersey and southern New England. The first such notices extended from Newark and New York City eastward to near Martha's Vineyard and Woods Hole on Cape Cod in southeast Massachusetts.
The state governors of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York and Connecticut put states of emergency into effect in advance of the hurricane moving into these areas. The storm was reminiscent of Hurricane Sandy almost nine years earlier (Sandy struck land near Brigantine and Atlantic City in southeast New Jersey). The winds, however, extended almost a thousand miles from the storm's center. Hurricane-force winds from Sandy also affected the New York City and Long Island areas.
Henri was forecast to strengthen before moving across Long Island and into New England on August 22.
