889766 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal%20Canadian%20Army%20Cadets | Royal Canadian Army Cadets | The Royal Canadian Army Cadets (often shortened to "army cadets") is a national program for young people in Canada. The Department of National Defense, private sponsors, nearby communities, and the Army Cadet League of Canada pay for the program. People between the ages of 12 and 18 inclusive can join this program for free, and they are led by the officers of the Canadian Forces Cadet Instructor Cadre (CIC). Army cadets are not members of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and do not have to join the Army when they finish being RCACs.
Ranks
The army cadets use a top-down rank structure similar to the Canadian Army.
The rank of Lance Corporal can have a different name depending on the Canadian Army regiment sponsoring them. For example, a corps sponsored by a Highland regiment will have different rank names than a corps sponsored by the Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery.
In a corps sponsored by the Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery, the rank of Master Corporal (MCpl) is called Master Bombardier (MBdr), and the rank of Corporal is called Bombardier (Bdr) instead of the usual names. In the guards regiments, Warrant Officers (WO) are known as Colour Sergeants (CSgt), and Second Lieutenants are known as Ensigns. A cadet cannot hold the rank of Second Lieutenant, as it is an officer rank.
Medals and awards
Canadian Cadets who perform very well in their duties as a cadet can be given medals and awards, which are worn on their uniform. The medals are similar in style to the medals given to CAF service members. Cadets may be awarded medals if they show bravery, citizenship, cadet service, exemplary service during a summer training course, and more. Cadets may also wear any orders, decorations, or medals of Canada that they have received.
In the cadets, there are several honours and awards cadets from all branches (Army, Sea, and Air) and some that are unique to each. A cadet who goes from from one element to another can still wear any medals from their previous service, but generally, army cadets may have the chance to receive following eight honours and awards. These awards are listed in the order of importance.

889862 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gila%20topminnow | Gila topminnow | The charalito or Gila topminnow (Poeciliopsis occidentalis) is a fish that lives in North America. It lives in Mexico.
Home
This fish lives in the southern United States and northern Mexico. It lives as far south as the Gila River.
Threats
The mosquitofish killed so many Gila topminnows that the Gila topminnow became endangered. People put it on the Endangered Species List in 1973. Since then, human beings brought the fish to many new places where it could live.
This fish is still in some danger because human beings change the places where it lives, because invasive species kill it or eat all the food, and because human beings have changed the water table. When human beings take water from wells for farming and other things, the water sinks lower down in the earth. This can make streams and ponds dry up.
Because this fish now lives in so many places, it is officially not endangered any more. However, scientists are still studying it.
Size
This fish looks like a guppy, but it has no spots on its fins. It is about 2.5 to 5 cm in size. Male fish are black with yellow fins. This fish lives about 1 year.
Subspecies
There are two subspecies:
The Gila topminnow (P. occidentalis occidentalis), which lives in the Gila River basin.
The Yaqui topminnow (P. occidentalis sonoriensis), which lives in the Rio Yaqui.
Food
This fish eats many different kinds of things: dead things, plants, insect larvae, and crustaceans. Sometimes they eat their own babies.
Young
Topminnows keep their eggs inside their bodies until they hatch. There are 1-20 eggs in each brood. Sometimes the mother fish carries two broods at a time. The eggs take 24-28 days to hatch. Young fish hide from the adults so the adults won't eat them.
Threats
It is endangered because people brought other fish to the places where it lives. The mosquitofish is the most important of these animals. It is also endangered because human beings take water out of their streams and ponds.

889903 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zuleyma%20Tang-Martinez | Zuleyma Tang-Martinez | Zuleyma Tang-Martinez (born in Venezuela, March 9, 1945) is a Latina Professor Emeritus in Biology at the University of Missouri-Saint Louis. She is well known for her research in animal behavior and in how animals recognize family members. She studies these behaviors in mice, voles, gerbils, and capybaras. Without her research, we would not know much about chemical communication between mammals.
Early life
Tang-Martinez was born in Ciudad Bolivar, Venezuela.
She has two younger sisters. Yajarayama Tang-Feldman is now a researcher at the University of California, Davis School of Nursing. Morayma Tang-Martinez lives in Venezuela.
Her father was an accountant. He worked for American oil companies in Venezuela. The companies were all drilling for oil near rainforests. They moved to a new camp every few years. Tang-Martinez liked to observe capybaras and other animals from the rainforest.
When she was seven, Tang-Martinez's family moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA. She lived there for two years.
Later in his life, her father suffered from Alzheimer's Disease.
Education
Tang-Martinez returned to the United States for high school. The oil camps' schools did not have high school.
She studied biology at Saint Louis University. She graduated in 1967.
At University of California, Berkeley, Tang-Martinez studied Zoology (M.A., 1970; Ph.D. 1976). In graduate school Tang-Martinez developed the "habituation-discrimination technique" to measure how animals communicate using smell.
She did two more years of research at the University of British Columbia before working as an assistant professor at University of Missouri, St. Louis.
Career
Tang-Martinez was on the faculty of University of Misouri-St. Louis from 1976-2014. In 2014 she retired.
Tang-Martinez studies social behavior in animals. Animals create chemicals and use the chemicals' smells to communicate with other animals.
With B. Diane Chepko-Sade, she edited a book about how animals spread out over the land where they live in order to mix up gene pools. It is called "Mammalian Dispersal Patterns: The Effects of Social Structure on Population Genetics."
Tang-Martinez was chair of the Division of Animal Behavior fir the American Society of Zoologists from 1990-1992. She was president of the Animal Behavior Society from 1993-1994. She won the Animal Behavior Society Exceptional Service Career Award and the Quest Award for Outstanding Research Contributions. Tang-Martinez received the Woman Trailblazer Award in 2008.

It stars Savage, Jason Johnson, Vivica A. Fox and Erik Estrada. The film is an edited together combination of 3 previously filmed Cool Cat shorts named "Cool Cat Stops Bullying", "Cool Cat in the Christmas Parade" and "Cool Cat Finds a Gun". The film follows the titular character (portrayed by Jason Johnson) as he sets out on several loosely connected adventures involving vandalism, gun safety, cyberbullying, a story contest, and a trip to the Hollywood Parade. Since it's release, the film has gained a cult following as being a so-bad-it's-good movie, thanks in large part to the many continuity and filmmaking errors present in the film.
A re-edit of the film featuring newly shot scenes and fixed editing, entitled "Cool Cat: Kids Superhero", was released in 2018.

It was first reported to the World Health Organization (WHO) from South Africa on 24 November 2021. On 26 November 2021, the WHO designated it as a variant of concern and named it "Omicron", which is the fifteenth letter in the Greek alphabet.
Omicron multiplies around 70 times faster than the Delta variant in the bronchi, but evidence found that it is less severe than other strains, especially to the Delta variant. Omicron might be less able to enter deep lung tissue. Omicron infections are 91 percent less fatal than the delta variant, with 51 percent less risk of hospitalization.
Vaccines can protect against severe disease and hospitalisation especially after a third dose of an mRNA vaccine is given. Early data found that double vaccination give 30 to 40 percent protection against infection and around 70 percent protection against hospitalization. A recent third vaccine dose boosts effectiveness against infection to around 75 percent, and 88 percent for severe disease.
