Genus Halogeton is a small group of plant species belonging to the family Amaranthaceae. The most well-known species within this genus is Halogeton glomeratus, commonly known as halogeton or saltlover. These plants are characterized by their ability to grow in saline or alkaline soils, making them well-adapted to desert or semi-arid environments. They are typically annual herbs with fleshy, often jointed stems and small, inconspicuous flowers. Although some species within this genus can be toxic to grazing animals due to their high oxalate content.

Drooling, or slobbering, is the flow of saliva outside the mouth. Drooling can be caused by excess production of saliva, inability to retain saliva within the mouth (incontinence of saliva), or problems with swallowing (dysphagia or odynophagia).
There are some frequent and harmless cases of drooling – for instance, a numbed mouth from either Orajel, or when going to the dentists office.
Isolated drooling in healthy infants and toddlers is normal and may be associated with teething. It is unlikely to be a sign of disease or complications. Drooling in infants and young children may be exacerbated by upper respiratory infections and nasal allergies.
Some people with drooling problems are at increased risk of inhaling saliva, food, or fluids into the lungs, especially if drooling is secondary to a neurological problem. However, if the bodys normal reflex mechanisms (such as gagging and coughing) are not impaired, this is not life-threatening.

A tenderizer is a substance or tool used to soften meat fibers and make them more palatable and easy to chew. The substance can be a marinade or specific food enzymes used to break down the tough fibers in the meat. The tool is usually a handheld device often with a flat face, used for pounding meat to a thinner and more tender state.

Jansenism was an early modern theological movement within Catholicism, primarily active in the Kingdom of France, that arose in an attempt to reconcile the theological concepts of free will and grace. Jansenists claimed to profess the true doctrine of grace as put forth by St. Augustine. In 1653, Pope Innocent X promulgated the bull Cum occasione, which condemned five errors attributed to Janesenism, including the idea that Christ did not die or shed his blood for all men.
The movement originated in the posthumously published work of the Dutch theologian Cornelius Jansen, who died in 1638. It was first popularized by Jansens friend, Abbot Jean du Vergier de Hauranne of Saint-Cyran-en-Brenne Abbey, and after du Vergiers death in 1643, the movement was led by Antoine Arnauld. Through the 17th and into the 18th centuries, Jansenism was a distinct movement away from the Catholic Church. The theological center of the movement was Port-Royal-des-Champs Abbey, which was a haven for writers including du Vergier, Arnauld, Pierre Nicole, Blaise Pascal, and Jean Racine.
Jansenism was opposed by many within the Catholic hierarchy, especially the Jesuits. Although the Jansenists identified themselves only as rigorous followers of Saint Augustine of Hippos teachings, Jesuits coined the term Jansenism to identify them as having Calvinist leanings. The apostolic constitution Cum occasione, promulgated by Pope Innocent X in 1653, condemned five cardinal doctrines of Jansenism as heretical, especially the relationship between human free will and efficacious grace, wherein the teachings of Augustine, as presented by the Jansenists, contradicted Jesuit thought. Jansenist leaders endeavored to accommodate the popes pronouncements while retaining their uniqueness, and enjoyed a measure of peace in the late 17th century under Pope Clement IX. Further controversy led to the papal bull Unigenitus of Pope Clement XI in 1713, however, which condemned further Jansenist teachings. This controversy did not end until Louis Antoine de Noailles, cardinal and archbishop of Paris who had opposed the bull, signed it in 1728.

Louis Victor de Broglie was a French physicist who made significant contributions to the quantum theory. In his 1924 PhD thesis, he postulated the wave nature of electrons and suggested that all matter has wave properties, a concept known as wave-particle duality. This discovery earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1929. The unit of measurement for the momentum of a particle, expressed in terms of its wavelength, is known as the de Broglie wavelength in his honor.
