ขิ่น แก้วตา - ธิษะณา ชุณหะวัณ (เธอเป็นลูกของ ไกรศักดิ์ ชุณหะวัณ และ เป็นหลานของ พล.อ.ชาติชาย ชุณหะวัณ) แห่งพรรคประชาชน(พม่า) กำลังช่วยกลุ่มอองซานซูจี และกลุ่มชาติพันธุ์หลายกลุ่มที่ได้รับการสนับสนุนจากอเมริกา เพื่อหวังผลคะแนนเสียงเพิ่มอีก ๖-๑๒ ล้านเสียงในระยะยาว คล้ายๆกันกับโพสต์ของ อีลอน มัสค์ เลยหรือไม่? (ตามข้อมูลจากโพสต์ของ อีลอน มัสค์ ด้านล่าง) ถ้าพรรคส้มล้มเจ้ายังคงมีคะแนนเสียงถล่มทลายเดิม ๑๖ ล้านเสียงเช่นเดียวกับการเลือกตั้งครั้งที่ผ่านมา รวมกับคะแนนเสียงกลุ่มชาติพันธุ์หลายกลุ่มอีก ๖-๑๒ ล้านเสียง สำหรับการเลือกตั้งครั้งถัดไป? ขบวนการล้มเจ้าที่นำโดยธนาทอนและได้รับการสนับสนุนจากทูตโกเต้กแห่งสหรัฐอเมริกุ๊ยและกลุ่มกุ๊ยอียู ก็คงจะประสพความสำเร็จในการเปลี่ยนแปลงการปกครองอย่างง่ายดายเลยหรือไม่? . . . ชาวอเมริกันเพียงไม่กี่คนเท่านั้นที่ตระหนักว่า, หากทรัมป์ไม่ได้รับการเลือกตั้ง, นี่จะเป็นการเลือกตั้งครั้งสุดท้าย เขาไม่ได้คุกคามประชาธิปไตย, เขาเป็นเพียงวิธีเดียวที่จะช่วยประชาธิปไตยไว้ได้! ขออธิบายให้ฟัง: หากผู้อพยพเข้าเมืองผิดกฎหมาย ๑ ใน ๒๐ คนต่อปี ได้เป็นพลเมือง, ซึ่งพรรคเดโมแครตกำลังเร่งดำเนินการให้เร็วที่สุดเท่าที่จะเป็นไปได้, นั่นก็จะมีผู้มีสิทธิเลือกตั้งถูกกฎหมายเพิ่มขึ้นประมาณ ๒ ล้านคนใน ๔ ปี คะแนนเสียงในรัฐที่มีโอกาสชนะการเลือกตั้งสูงมักน้อยกว่า ๒๐,๐๐๐ คะแนน ซึ่งหมายความว่าหากพรรค "เดโมแครต" ประสบความสำเร็จ, ก็จะไม่มีรัฐที่มีโอกาสชนะการเลือกตั้งสูงอีกต่อไป!! ยิ่งไปกว่านั้น, รัฐบาลของไบเดน/แฮร์ริสได้ส่ง "ผู้ขอลี้ภัย," ซึ่งได้รับการขึ้นทะเบียนเป็นพลเมืองอย่างรวดเร็ว, ไปยังรัฐที่มีโอกาสชนะการเลือกตั้งสูง เช่น เพนซิลเวเนีย, โอไฮโอ, วิสคอนซิน และแอริโซนาโดยตรง ถือเป็นวิธีที่แน่นอนในการชนะการเลือกตั้งทุกครั้ง จากนั้นอเมริกาก็จะกลายเป็นรัฐที่มีพรรคการเมืองเดียว และประชาธิปไตยก็สิ้นสุดลง "การเลือกตั้ง" ครั้งเดียวเท่านั้นที่จะเป็นการเลือกตั้งขั้นต้นของพรรคเดโมแครต เหตุการณ์นี้เคยเกิดขึ้นในแคลิฟอร์เนียเมื่อหลายปีก่อนแล้ว, หลังจากการนิรโทษกรรมในปี ๑๙๘๖ สิ่งเดียวที่คอยยับยั้งแคลิฟอร์เนียจากลัทธิสังคมนิยมสุดโต่งและนโยบายกดดันของรัฐบาลก็คือ ผู้คนสามารถออกจากแคลิฟอร์เนียและยังคงอยู่ในอเมริกาได้ เมื่อทั้งประเทศถูกควบคุมโดยพรรคการเมืองเดียว, ก็จะไม่มีทางหนีได้ 🤣ทุกแห่งในอเมริกาจะเหมือนฝันร้าย เช่นเดียวกับที่ย่านดาวน์ทาวน์ของซานฟรานซิสโก🤣 Elon Musk . Very few Americans realize that, if Trump is NOT elected, this will be the last election. Far from being a threat to democracy, he is the only way to save it! Let me explain: if even 1 in 20 illegals become citizens per year, something that the Democrats are expediting as fast as humanly possible, that would be about 2 million new legal voters in 4 years. The voting margin in the swing states is often less than 20 thousand votes. That means if the “Democratic” Party succeeds, there will be no more swing states!! Moreover, the Biden/Harris administration has been flying “asylum seekers”, who are fast-tracked to citizenship, directly into swing states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin and Arizona. It is a surefire way to win every election. America then becomes a one-party state and Democracy is over. The only “elections” will be the Democratic Party primaries. This already happened in California many years ago, following the 1986 amnesty. The only thing holding California back from extreme socialism and suffocating government policies is that people can leave California and still remain in America. Once the whole country is controlled by one party, there will be no escape. Everywhere in America will be like the nightmare that is downtown San Francisco. . 10:11 PM · Sep 29, 2024 · 90.6M Views https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1840409051357696324 . เป็นไปตามแผนทั้งหมด ลองทายดูว่ามีผู้อพยพกี่คนที่เข้าเกณฑ์ได้รับการแปลงสัญชาติภายใต้กฎเกณฑ์ปัจจุบัน? ๙ ล้านคน… .

Person-First Language vs. Identity-First Language: Which Should You Use? There’s a term for choosing to say people with disabilities instead of disabled people, and vice versa. People with disabilities is an example of what’s called person-first language, while terms like disabled people are sometimes called identity-first language. Person-first language is widely encouraged in many contexts as a way to avoid defining a person solely by their disability, condition, or physical difference. However, not everyone prefers it. Some people instead prefer identity-first language as a way of emphasizing what they consider an important part of their identity. In this article, we’ll: Define person-first language and identity-first language in detail. Provide several examples of each in many of the different contexts in which they’re used, including for people who are autistic, blind, deaf, and those who have other disabilities, medical conditions (including mental health conditions), and bodily differences. Discuss the varying preferences for such language and some of the reasons behind those preferences. Explain how approaches can differ based on whether you know a person’s specific disability or condition or whether you’re referring to an individual or a community of people. Quick summary Person-first language introduces a person before any description of them. Examples include person with a disability, patient with cancer, and child who has cerebral palsy. Person-first language is intended to emphasize the fullness of a person and to avoid defining them exclusively by their disability or condition. Identity-first language involves stating a descriptor of a person first, as in autistic person and blind child. This is often done with the idea that the characteristic in question is an integral part of a person’s identity and community membership and should be emphasized rather than minimized. Person-first language is preferred and encouraged in many contexts, especially medical care. However, some people prefer identity-first language—notably many members of the blind, deaf, and autistic communities. Still, preferences around such approaches vary widely, even among people within the same community. The best approach is always to respect people’s choices about the language they use for themselves. First, a note about disabled and disability First and foremost, remember that in many cases it’s not relevant or necessary to discuss or point out a person’s disability at all. Regardless of what language preferences people have, every person wants to be treated as just that—a person (which is one of the motivating ideas behind person-first language). However, that doesn’t mean that disability is inherently negative, unmentionable, or something that must be politely ignored (which are some of the notions that identity-first language pushes back on). When discussion of a disability or other condition is pertinent, it is often preferable to name the person’s specific disability or condition, such as paraplegia or diabetes. However, when addressing an issue that affects a larger community of people—for example, when discussing accessibility in the workplace—disabled and disability are often the preferred terms. Our new usage notes within the entries for these terms reflect this. (Some people object to the terms disabled and disability in and of themselves, but that won’t be the focus of this article, nor will other, more specific terms that are now considered outdated and offensive.) What is person-first language? The term person-first language refers to wording that introduces a person first and then follows with a descriptor in relation to a disability, medical condition (including mental health conditions), or other physical or cognitive difference. Person-first language often literally uses the word person (or persons or people) as the first part of referring to someone, as in person with a disability or people with dwarfism. Of course, the term that refers to the person is often more specific, such as child, adult, patient, or a term specifying a person’s nationality. Such terms can also be used in identity-first language, which will be discussed in the next section. (Person-first language is not to be confused with the grammatical and literary term first person, which is the point of view in which a speaker or writer refers to themself: I, me, we, and us are first-person pronouns.) Person-first language is used in many different contexts, including disability, medical conditions and diseases, physical and cognitive differences, and addiction and substance use, among others. The intent of person-first language is often understood as being to acknowledge a person as a full, complex individual. This is done to avoid defining them solely by their disability, condition, or physical or mental attributes, which can have the effect of dehumanizing them, creating negative stigmas, or producing the false assumption that a disability or condition affects all people in the same way. Promotion of person-first language is often traced back to the People First Movement that began in the late 1960s. Person-first language became more widespread in the 1990s. Awareness and use of it is thought to have increased in part as a result of the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a landmark piece of federal legislation that, among many other changes, established such language as the preferred wording in many government documents and communications (a preference that continues today). Person-first language has largely become the preferred approach in medical contexts. Major health organizations, such as the World Health Organization and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, use and state preferences for person-first language, as do the style guides of the American Medical Association and the American Psychological Association. However, many style guides also emphasize that a person’s personal preference should always come first. Still, many people strongly prefer identity-first language. What is identity-first language? The term identity-first language refers to wording about a person that leads with a description of them in the context of a disability, medical conditions (including mental health conditions), or other physical or cognitive difference. Examples include terms like deaf person, blind person, and autistic person. Such labels are sometimes considered offensive due to emphasizing a characteristic as if it’s all that matters about the person. However, some people prefer such terms because they consider the characteristic being referred to as an inseparable part of their identity—hence the use of the word identity in the term. By those who prefer it when referring to themselves, identity-first language is often considered a way to show pride in who they are and their membership in a community of like people. This is especially the case in the context of disability. In this context, identity-first language is often viewed as functioning to center a person’s disability, in contrast with the approach of person-first language, which is sometimes interpreted as minimizing such characteristics out of the assumption that they are inherently negative. Notably, significant portions of the deaf, blind, and autistic communities prefer identity-first language. However, not everyone shares this preference. Examples of person-first and identity-first language In this section, we’ll provide side-by-side examples of person-first language and identity-first language along with notes about use and preferences. This is a collection of common examples grouped by context, not a comprehensive list of all possible terms. Due to the nature of their construction, examples of person-first language are always multiple-word phrases, as in person with AIDS or individuals with disabilities. Identity-first language also often consists of phrases, but some terms that may be considered examples of identity-first language are single words. For example, some people who have had limbs amputated prefer to be called amputees. Many such examples (single-word nouns used to refer to people) are now usually considered inappropriate and offensive, especially those once used in the context of mental health. Some will be discussed below. Disability In the general discussion of people with disabilities, person-first language is the most widely preferred approach. However, this preference is not universal. person-first example: person with a disability identity-first example: disabled person person-first examples: person with paraplegia; person with quadriplegia identity-first examples: When used as nouns to refer to people, terms like paraplegic and quadriplegic are now widely avoided, though some people may prefer them when referring to themselves. person-first example: person with an intellectual disability; person with a cognitive disability identity-first example: intellectually disabled person; cognitively disabled person. Such terms are now less commonly used, but may be preferred by some. The autism spectrum In the context of autism, there is significant, strong, and growing preference for identity-first language, despite some advocacy organizations historically recommending person-first language. Among those who prefer identity-first language, one commonly stated reason is that they consider autism a major part of their identity and not something to be ashamed of or treated as something that needs to be “cured.” Still, some people prefer person-first language. person-first examples: a person with autism; an adult on the autism spectrum identity-first examples: autistic person; autistic individual. The use of autistic as a noun is preferred by many as a way to refer to themselves, but is considered offensive by others. Deafness Identity-first language has also been largely embraced by the Deaf community. (The word Deaf is often capitalized when it’s used in reference to things related to Deaf culture.) Identity-first language is promoted by many major organizations, such as the National Association of the Deaf, the National Deaf Center, and the World Federation of the Deaf. Still, some people prefer person-first language. person-first example: a person who is deaf identity-first examples: deaf person; deaf Americans; Deaf community Blindness Though preferences vary, identity-first language is widely preferred and promoted by individuals and organizations in the blind community, including the National Federation of the Blind, the Royal National Institute of Blind People, and various state commissions for the blind and visually impaired. person-first example: a person who is blind identity-first examples: blind person; blind adult Dwarfism and short stature Organizations centered around people with dwarfism often use both person-first and identity-first terms. Preferences among individuals, of course, can vary. person-first examples: a person who has dwarfism; people of short stature identity-first examples: dwarf; little person Additional medical and mental health contexts Person-first language is now widely preferred and promoted in the context of medicine by medical professionals, organizations, and advocacy groups. Such language is intended to avoid equating patients with their diseases or conditions (such as with now avoided phrasings like cancer patient or AIDS patient), which research has shown can lead to stigmatization, overgeneralization, and worse health outcomes. person-first examples: patient with AIDS; child with cancer; person with diabetes; person with epilepsy identity-first examples: When used as nouns to refer to people, terms like diabetic and epileptic are now widely avoided, though some people may prefer them when referring to themselves. Person-first language is now also widely preferred and promoted in the context of medical professionals who address mental health conditions. It is especially recommended to replace terms that use a condition as a noun to refer to someone (such as the noun uses of schizophrenic or bulimic) with person-first language. person-first examples: a person with schizophrenia; a patient with psychosis; people with eating disorders Other contexts As with the wider field of medical care, person-first language is widely preferred in the context of drug and substance addiction, in which such terms are recommended to replace stigmatizing words like addict and alcoholic. person-first examples: a person with alcohol use disorder; people with substance use disorders For similar reasons, person-first language is also commonly used by organizations and advocates focused on suicide prevention. Such language is thought to help destigmatize the issue and emphasize a person’s humanity, rather than treating them as a statistic. person-first examples: a person experiencing thoughts of suicide; people impacted by suicide Collective terms Collective terms for certain groups often fall under the classification of identity-first language. Examples include the blind, the deaf, and the disabled. While such terms are preferred by some (and used in the names of some major organizations), they are considered offensive by others who believe that such terms are a barrier to treating members of such groups as individuals. Should I use person-first or identity-first language? The answer to this question is that there is no single, permanent answer. Person-first and identity-first language continue to evolve, and preferences vary from person to person and differ among different communities and organizations. In the context of medicine and mental health, person-first language is widely preferred and recommended, especially due to evidence that it contributes to better health outcomes and reduces stigmatization. Still, identity-first language may be preferred in certain situations or among people who consider their condition as an inseparable part of their identity. Notably, many members of the blind, deaf, and autistic communities (among some others) now prefer and promote identity-first language, arguing that such characteristics are an integral part of their identities that should be proudly emphasized, not treated as negatives or limitations. Identity-first language is also sometimes favored due to emphasizing membership in a community. Generally speaking, some people are fine with others referring to them with either person-first or identify-first language or a combination of both, as long as it is used respectfully. But many other people have strong preferences for one or the other, with valid reasons for each. Many style guides recommend person-first language if you do not know someone’s preference, are unable to discover it, or are talking about a certain group generally. However, despite this recommendation, there is one consistent piece of advice that you will find among style guides and advocacy organizations: you should always respect the language that an individual personally uses. Notably, the style guide of the National Center on Disability and Journalism, which in the past recommended person-first language as the default choice, now recommends making choices about wording on a case-by-case basis, stating that “no two people are the same—either with regard to disabilities or language preferences.” You can always ask a person what type of phrasing they prefer. Remember that discussing a disability, condition, or other physical or intellectual difference is in many cases unnecessary. Most of the time, the first thing you should ask a person is their name.

Chicky or Helene : My Yorkie Chicky was born in 2012 - she just turned 12 years last week. If you were living in France, I would give you the name of "Helene", my name in French. Indeed, you may (or may not) know that in France and probably in other countries like Belgium, for all the dogs with pedigree, each year of birth is associated to a particular alphabet : in 2012 to "H"(and 2024 to "V"). This regulation dates back to 1926. All the dogs with pedigree and registered at the "Livre des Origins Francais" (LOF) in France will be given a name following this specific rule to easily their DOB identification. Nevertheless, since some alphabets may cause difficulties to name the dog (French names), especially the letters K, Q, W, X, Y and Z, do names are limited to 20 letters. "V" is for the year 2024, therefore all the dogs born in 2025, will be given a name beginning with "A".

What’s The Difference Between “Anytime” vs. “Any Time”? Anytime or any time? The two tend to be used in the same exact contexts, but that one little space can make a lot of grammatical difference. In this article, we’ll discuss how and when to use each form and explain which one is an adverb and why. Don’t know what that means? Read on to find out! Quick summary Any time is a noun phrase that is commonly used after the preposition at (Please call at any time) or by itself (Any time you choose for the appointment is fine). Anytime is an adverb that can replace (or be replaced with) “at any time” or “whenever,” as in Please call anytime or They won’t arrive anytime soon. The phrase that means “you’re welcome” is any time. Anytime vs. any time Any time is a common and straightforward noun phrase that means exactly what it seems like it does based on its component parts. Importantly, it functions as a noun, often in prepositional phrases with the preposition at, as in Feel free to call at any time. But it also commonly appears by itself (without at), as in Any time is a good time for cake. Anytime is an adverb meaning “at any time; regardless of hour, date, etc.; whenever.” Because it’s an adverb, it modifies a verb, as in Feel free to call anytime or I won’t finish anytime soon. A more recent use of anytime is as an informal adjective that means something like “suitable for any time or occasion.” It’s typically used in a prepositive position (meaning it comes before the noun it modifies) and in contrast with a similar grammatical use of sometimes, as in Cookies are a sometimes snack, but carrots are an anytime snack. The phrase any time is also used as an informal response to a person expressing thanks, similar to you’re welcome. For example, when someone thanks you for helping them, you might respond by saying Any time! Glad to help. In English, it’s pretty common for two-word noun phrases to be pushed together for use as other parts of speech. For example, the noun phrase every day becomes the adjective everyday. Other examples are so common that you might not even realize they were formed from noun phrases, such as sometimes. When a term is spelled as two words as opposed to one, it’s often a clue that it’s used as a noun. Anytime or any time: when to use each one Anytime can be used in the same places that you can use another adverb, especially whenever. You can often test whether it’s appropriate to use anytime by seeing if you can substitute whenever or at any time. In contrast, if the term follows the preposition at, it should be the noun phrase any time. When any time is used with at, it can be followed by extra information that specifies the time (at any time of day; at any time of night; at any time of year). This is another sign that you want any time. Similarly, if it’s the subject of the sentence, it should be any time (as in Any time is a good time for cake). In other words, any time is always used as a noun. Remember, anytime essentially exists to be used in place of the phrase at any time. Ultimately, most sentences can be rewritten to use one or the other and still have the same exact meaning. When in doubt, build the sentence around the phrase at any time. Examples of anytime and any time used in a sentence - If you need help, call this number anytime. - If you need help, call this number at any time. - You can’t just show up anytime—you need an appointment. - You can’t just show up at any time—you need an appointment. - The flight is expected to land anytime now. - The flight is expected to land at any time now. - You may hear kids playing at any time of day now that summer vacation has started. - You may hear kids playing anytime now that summer vacation has started. - Anytime you’re around, call me and we’ll hang out. - Any time is a good time for tea. - I can drink tea anytime. - Anytime I see Kate, she’s reading a book. - Dave: “Thanks for helping me with the repairs.” Sarah: “Any time! I enjoy it.” Copyright 2024, XAKKHRA, All Rights Reserved.

ในระหว่างที่นั่งจิบชาช่วงบ่ายระหว่างทำงาน work from home ได้มีโอกาสครุ่นคิดถึงศาสนาในประเทศไทยซึ่งประชากรกว่า 90% จดทะเบียนว่าเป็นศาสนาพุทธ แต่ความจริงนั้นอาจยากที่จะตอบได้ว่า คนเหล่านี้เป็นพุทธศาสนิกชนที่แท้จริงหรือไม่🧐 จากประสบการณ์ที่อยู่ในสังคมคนทำงานรุ่น Gen X, Y, และ Z มานานเกือบทศวรรษ ทำให้เข้าใจว่าในปัจจุบัน คนส่วนใหญ่มักไม่มีศาสนาแบบชัดเจน แต่ก็ไม่สามารถเรียกได้ว่าเป็น Atheist (คนไม่เชื่อในพระเจ้า) หรือ Agnostic (คนที่ไม่เชื่อหรือปฏิเสธการมีอยู่ของสิ่งเหนือธรรมชาติ)ได้เช่นกัน เพราะแม้ว่าจะไม่ได้เชื่อในชีวิตหลังความตาย หรือนรกสวรรค์ แต่ผู้คนยังคงหันไปขอพรสิ่งศักดิ์สิทธิ์เพื่อ "โชคลาภ" หรือทำบุญบริจาคเมื่อ "รู้สึกดวงตก" นั่นแสดงให้เห็นถึงความสัมพันธ์ที่ซับซ้อนระหว่างความเชื่อกับการปฏิบัติในชีวิตประจำวันของคนในปัจจุบัน😯 ระหว่างที่กลืนขนมสโคนกับจิบชาเปปเปอร์มิ้นท์ คำถามที่ฉงนใจผุดขึ้นว่า "หากคนที่ไม่เชื่อในศาสนาต้องเผชิญสถานการณ์คับขัน เช่น อยู่บนเครื่องบินที่กำลังจะตกและเหลือเวลาไม่กี่นาทีก่อนจะขิต"พวกเขาเหล่านี้จะหันไปภาวนาหรือสวดกับอะไร? ☠️ ถ้าไม่ใช่สิ่งศักดิ์สิทธิ์ จะสวดหาไอดอลหรือ Life coach ที่ตามอยู่? อ้อนวอนขอชีวิตกับยมบาล? หรือพวกเขาจะจมอยู่ในความรู้สึกกลัวตายจนไม่มีเวลาคิดถึงอะไรเลย?👿 มันไม่ผิดหรอกที่ใครบางคนจะไม่เชื่อในศาสนา แต่คำถามที่น่าสงสัยคือ ณ วินาทีที่ชีวิตแขวนอยู่บนเส้นด้าย เราจะยึดเหนี่ยวสิ่งใด? มนุษย์เมื่อเผชิญความไม่แน่นอนและความตาย มักจะโหยหาสิ่งที่ให้ความหวังเพื่อความสงบใจแห่งจิตใจ🤍 ไม่ต่างอะไรจากเถาวัลย์โน้มหาต้นไม้ใหญ่หาที่พึ่ง ไม่ว่าจะเป็นศาสนา ความเชื่อทางจิตวิญญาณ หรือแม้กระทั่งความหวังที่เกิดจากการนึกถึงคนที่เรารักและศรัทธา มนุษย์ทุกคนย่อมต้องการ "หลัก" ยึดเหนี่ยว ในการใช้ชีวิต ไปจนถึงช่วงเวลาลมหายใจสุดท้าย #ศาสนาสำคัญไฉน While sipping afternoon tea during a work-from-home break, I found myself reflecting on religion in Thailand, where more than 90% of the population is registered as Buddhist. However, it’s difficult to say for certain whether these individuals are truly practicing Buddhists. 🧐 From my experience in the working society of Gen X, Y, and Z for nearly a decade, it’s become clear that many people today don’t strictly follow a particular religion. Yet, we can’t exactly call them Atheists (those who don’t believe in a god) or Agnostics (those who neither believe nor deny the existence of the supernatural) either. Even though they may not believe in an afterlife or heaven and hell, people still turn to sacred entities to pray for "luck" or make merit donations when they "feel unlucky." This shows the complex relationship between belief and daily practices in today’s world. 😯 While I was munching on a scone and sipping my peppermint tea, a curious question popped into my mind: "If someone who doesn’t believe in religion were in a dire situation, like being on a plane about to crash with only a few minutes left to live," who or what would they turn to in prayer? ☠️ If not a sacred being, would they pray to their idol or the life coach they follow? Would they plead for their life with the Grim Reaper? Or would they be so consumed by the fear of death that they wouldn’t have time to think of anything at all? 👿 It’s not wrong for someone not to believe in religion, but the intriguing question is, in the moment when life hangs by a thread, what would we cling to? When humans face uncertainty and death, they often yearn for something that gives them hope and peace of mind. 🤍 Just like vines reaching out to a large tree for support, whether it’s religion, spiritual beliefs, or even the hope that comes from thinking of the ones we love and cherish, every human seeks a “pillar” to hold onto—both in life and in their final moments. #WhyIsReligionImportant

Why Roman Numerals Are The Super Bowl’s Signature Sure, the Super Bowl is one of the biggest sporting events in the world (World Cup fans, feel free to weigh in here), and an unofficial national holiday in the United States. On February 13, 2022, the Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams will face off at the California home field of the Rams, SoFi Stadium, in Super Bowl LVI (56). While sports fans are waiting to see if the Bengals will clinch their first Super Bowl title, the word (and number) lovers of us (you know, those of us watching the Superb Owl) are wondering about the Roman numerals themselves. Do you know how the Super Bowl got its name? Or why it uses Roman numerals? How did the Super Bowl get its name? In the 1960s, American pro football was divided into two leagues, the established NFL and the newly-formed AFL (American Football League). Eventually, the two would merge into one league comprised of two conferences, and shortly after the announcement of said merger, a new competitive event was announced pitting the best of both conferences against each other. The first best-of-the-best game between the Packers and Chiefs in January 1967 ended up carrying the rather straightforward name of AFL-NFL Championship Game. Catchy? Not very. The subsequent three games used the equally bland World Championship Game. So, when did the term Super Bowl finally come into the picture? The standard mythology holds that Kansas City Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt coined the term Super Bowl as a phonetic riff on his daughter’s toy Super Ball. But, numerous newspapers were commonly using the term Super Bowl as early as 1967—years before the first officially named Super Bowl game took place. Why let that get in the way of a good origin myth, right? What does the bowl in Super Bowl mean? Glad you asked. In the early 1900s, bowl began to be used to describe bowl-like stadiums. The first of these stadiums was built for Yale in 1914 and the Rose Bowl in Pasadena was soon to follow. Soon enough, football games held in similarly designed stadiums were called bowl games. What number Super Bowl is this year? This year’s 2022 Super Bowl is number 56. That means it would be represented in Roman numerals as LVI. Do you know why? Roman numerals are an ancient numeric system where numbers are represented by the symbols I, V, X, L, C, D, and M. I represents the number 1, V represents 5, X is 10, L is 50, C is 100, D is 500, and M is 1,000. Different arrangements of these seven symbols represent different numbers. To create numbers, you arrange the symbols in descending order from left to right. So the number 56 would be represented as 50 + 5 + 1 or LVI. Why do the Super Bowl games have Roman numerals? Lamar Hunt is also credited for introducing Roman numerals to keep track of the championship title bowls. Super Bowl V was the first such bowl to be numbered using this system. An excerpt from the NFL media guide explains further: The Roman numerals were adopted to clarify any confusion that may occur because the NFL Championship Game—the Super Bowl—is played in the year following a chronologically recorded season. Numerals I through IV were added later for the first four Super Bowls. Controversially, the only Super Bowl game to not use Roman numerals was Super Bowl 50. The Roman numeral for 50 is L, and, because NFL ad designers felt that the Super Bowl L title was too unattractive and unmarketable, they opted to use the number 50 instead. Many football fans were very miffed by this. Chris Chase of USA Today summed up the “controversy” nicely: “Foregoing the use of Super Bowl L drew some early criticism that the league was dumbing things down for America, as if clinging to an archaic counting system that was obviously created without any foresight means we’re a nation of dunces. That’s nonsense. Roman numerals are like cursive: meaningless in the real world and not as pretty to look at as people think.” That said: we’re now back to the Roman numeral system for the foreseeable future, so everything is in its right place.

🙏 People have to learn some things....people will always be stupid and you have to deal with it...take care of yourself first Everyone have his unique way of understanding, that is fact that we carry god's energy inside... Make your life nice and prepare to big changes - don't matter about others much....help people close to you - you must understand that many people doesnt want help. We are over 7 billion now...most of that are stupid and don't think with soul and heart, they just use brain and follow the rules - you can''t help them so make focus on yourself first. Connect to samethinking people and enjoy the ride All information of everything are on the internet - problem is that people dont want changes, they like to live in world as it is And one more important thing - same energy attracts each other.....good attracts good, bad attracts bad... You can get from life only what you create in your mind... Without body exercise it is impossible to get rid of all toxines There are good and bad people everywhere... So... living here on earth is not so easy, everyone needs to make themself "nice environment" and you need to understand that. You are first that need to care about, not others. You need to love yourself and make your life very cozy - if you will have nice life with enough money to get cozy, then you will have a lot of power to help others, right? Being wealthy is not a sin, it is blessing....but only for those who understand life and not take advantage of money to use it for bad things... It was the same everywhere allover the world...I told truth about vaccines to some if my friends and they said that I am "brainwashed" so I stopped. Same everywhere... It is hard to explain to people things like that. People should go step by step from begining, these are not things for beginners... People doesnt know that we are trapped here in this world and they are using us as giant energy accumulator for their needs...people just go to work, watch tv and eat pork, having sex just for fun and pay taxes to goverment.....they dont see what is happening Asthma, bronhitis, nasal polyps, sinusitis ect are problems wirh fungal parasites and needs special treatmens which including fasting and consuming some other herbs, exposing to sun, exercising, non stress lyfestyle ect. Moon have big impact to it so it needs include lunar cycles too...

“Persons” vs. “People” vs. “Peoples”: Which Word Is The Right Choice? Persons, people, and peoples: we know what they mean, but the relationship between them can be confusing. What’s the correct plural of person—persons or people? Why does people have its own plural? Some of these questions have easy answers. But there are a number of nuanced aspects to their use, including those related to legal language, personal identity, and decisions about whether to emphasize individuals or groups. Then there are questions about capitalization, particularly for terms like people of color and Indigenous Peoples. In this article, we’ll address the frequently asked questions surrounding persons, people, and peoples, including: - When should persons be used instead of people? - When should peoples be used instead of people? - When should peoples be capitalized? - What are the possessive forms of persons, people, and peoples? Quick summary Both persons and people can be used as plural forms of person. Persons is often used in formal, legal contexts to emphasize individuals as opposed to a group. People is the plural of person that’s most commonly used in everyday communication to simply refer to multiple humans. But people can also be used as a singular noun to refer to a population or particular community. The plural of this sense of people is peoples, and it’s often used in terms like Indigenous Peoples (in which it’s often capitalized since it refers to specific communities). What is the plural of person? Persons or people? Both persons and people are acceptable plural forms of person. They’re not necessarily always interchangeable, but there is some overlap. The plural form people is more common. That’s because it can be used in any context to refer to multiple individuals—one person, two people (or 100 people or 8 billion people, etc.). Usually, you’ll see persons in more formal contexts, especially in legal and technical text, as well as a few other situations. When to use persons vs. people Persons is especially associated with its use in legal language, in which it’s often used rather than people to ensure clarity by emphasizing that the text is referring to multiple individuals, as opposed to a group as a whole, as in Occupancy is limited to 200 persons or Any person or persons found to be in violation of these rules shall be prohibited from participating. When persons is used in this way outside of legal texts, it has historically been regarded as overly formal or stilted—it wouldn’t be natural to say I invited 10 persons to the party, for example. Increasingly, however, there are cases in which persons is thought to be more appropriate than people for other reasons. This is especially the case in situations when you want to talk about individuals within a group, rather than the group as a whole. In this way, persons is sometimes used with terms related to identity to emphasize individuality, such as saying Jewish persons instead of Jewish people. Regardless of intent, though, statements that are about individuals with a common identity can lead to overgeneralizations or stereotyping, so it’s always best to consider whether the individuals’ common identity is an essential part of what you’re trying to say. Choosing how to refer to people can also be informed by preferences around language that’s person-first (as in person with autism) or identity-first (as in autistic person). More generally, the word people can also be a collective noun that refers to a specific group, nation, tribe, or community, as in We are a resilient people or The Statue of Liberty was a gift to the American people. When to use peoples The word peoples is specifically used as the plural of people in its sense as a collective singular noun referring to a nation, or tribe, or other community, as in Indigenous Peoples or the many peoples of the world. This usage emphasizes that you’re talking about several different specific groups that share a commonality. This can be important for clarity—the many people of the world means something different than the many peoples of the world. In practical terms, using peoples in this way can help to prevent erasure and homogenization of groups that are often lumped together in ways that obscure their specific, complex identities. In this way, the term Indigenous Peoples emphasizes the vast diversity among the world’s Indigenous groups while also implying that there are, in fact, separate and distinct groups. When should People and Peoples be capitalized? You may have noticed that Peoples is capitalized in Indigenous Peoples in this article (and in other articles that use the term). Capitalization is increasingly used as a form of respect and distinction for terms that relate to identity. (capitalizes Indigenous across the dictionary when it relates to identity in this way, just as we do for the word Black.) The word Peoples is most often capitalized when it follows a specific modifier, as in Hispanic Peoples and Indigenous Peoples. In cases when it’s capitalized, it is often due to the fact that it refers not to people in general but to specific, distinct communities. Similarly, the term People of Color is also sometimes capitalized, though not always, likely because it is typically used as a broad term that encompasses more specific identities, including Black and Indigenous people, for example (relatedly, this is what’s represented in the first part of the the abbreviation BIPOC). - What are the possessive forms of person, persons, people and peoples? Where should I put the apostrophe? - Is it people’s or peoples’? Person’s or persons’? All of these are valid possessives, but they indicate different things. Here is a breakdown of each possessive form, along with examples of their use. Person Possessive form: person’s (singular possessive) Example: One person’s trash is another person’s treasure. Persons Possessive form: persons’ (plural possessive) Example: The suspect confessed to the theft of several persons’ social security numbers. People Possessive form: people’s (plural and singular possessive) Plural example: Tech support should be able to fix all six people’s issues by the end of the day. Singular example: The French people’s love of fine food is well known. Peoples Possessive form: peoples’ (plural possessive) Example: The goal of the festival is to celebrate many different peoples’ cultures. Examples of persons, people, and peoples used in a sentence Here are some examples of the ways that each word is commonly used. - We were hoping that at least one person would apply for the job, but we received applications from 60 people! - The person or persons who may have witnessed the incident are being sought by police. - My partner and I, as persons with autism, have a unique perspective on the issue. - The class will be focused on the history, peoples, and cultures of the region. Indigenous Peoples’ Day is a time to honor Indigenous Peoples in the Americas and around the world. Copyright 2024, XAKKHRA, All Rights Reserved.

I do some research about white avocado leaves, other people report, they also sometimes see this... And I find an interesting document about nutritional value of avocado, nothing to do with white flower... VITAMIN B: Called the Anti-Neuritis and Growth-Promoting Vitamin: Beriberi, a nerve disease, was very prevalent in Japan so that about one-fourth of the men of the Japanese Navy were incapacitated for work and many deaths occurred on every voyage. In 1885 Tanaka varied the diet of the Navy by adding barley in place of a portion of the rice. As a result, Beriberi almost completely disappeared. In the Russo- Japanese War in1905, the diets of the Japanese Navy and Army were as follows In 1897 Eijkman, a Dutch physician in Java, noticed that pigeons fed on polished rice left from the tables of prisoners developed a nervous condition called Polyneuritis similar to Beriberi in man. He found he could cure this condition by adding rice polishings or whole rice to their diet. He obtained permission to experiment on the diet of the prisoners in 100 jails in Java in which there were nearly a quarter of a million prisoners. With polished rice, cases of Beriberi were 1 to 39. With mixed rice, cases of Beriberi were 1 to 400. With whole rice, cases of Beriberi were 1 to 10,000. Dutch physician and professor of physiology whose demonstration that beriberi is caused by poor diet led to the discovery of antineuritic vitamins (thiamine). Together with Sir Frederick Hopkins, he received the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1929 for the discovery of vitamins.

Liquid vitamin D3+K2 ... That's a good one because the D3 receptor is a "Dual" receptor... Meaning the 2 vitamins D3+K2 have to be together at the receptor site If person is on the low cholesterol plan and not getting much sunshine... 6,000 - 8,000 IU should be sufficient, and there are some people who take much more than that... About the low cholesterol... With sunshine on the skin, D3 is produced from cholesterol under the skin, if person get the sunburn easily, that generally means they are not eating healthy fats and have lower cholesterol... If person eating healthy fats, and no problem with sunshine and sunburn, then smaller amount D3+K2 3,000 - 5,000 IU should be sufficient. Instead of capsules, I would recommend small bottle liquid vitamin D3+K2, take with eye dropper... And save some money, particularly if taking larger doses such as 3,000 - 6,000 IU Vitamin D very important, vitamin D3 is the best formula... And making vitamin D from sunshine on the skin... this involves cholesterol, and many people are following crazy doctors advice about low cholesterol diet.. when a person's cholesterol is low sunshine on the skin will make sunburn and only little bit vitamin D... Healthy diet with healthy fat, this lets sunshine on the skin make vitamin D and not much risk of sunburn. Any vitamin D is better than nothing... However if recovery from sickness is important, vitamin D should be liquid D3 + K2 This is important text for all patients infected with covid-19, to stop sickness from going for very long time patient should be taking vitamin B1 benfotiamine everyday, in addition to vitamin D3+K2 with magnesium bisglycinate, quercetin with Zinc+Copper and selenium, vitamin C... That's to correct or prevent basic vitamin deficiencies. Taking herbal medications is recommended to improve immune system and raise energy levels.🙏😌 The vitamin D dosage... Formula should be vitamin D3, that is absolutely for sure. And the dosage is 8,000 to 12,000 IU everyday... Vitamin d3 will not be metabolized if there is magnesium deficiency, as a precaution person should be taking at least 400 mg magnesium per day, if blood test shows magnesium deficiency, increase up to 800 or 900 per day until blood test shows good magnesium levels.🥰

New Words We Created Because Of Coronavirus We’re rounding out 2020, and the coronavirus continues to shape our lives and language. While we once hoped we could toss the year’s coronacoinages out the door, that’s clearly not going to be the case right now: the coronavirus continues to surge to new levels. It seems like years (not months) ago that we learned our first COVID-19 terms, like social distancing and flatten the curve. We had to process so much, in so little time; we had to become experts about important differences: epidemic vs. pandemic, quarantine vs. isolation, and respirator vs. ventilators. The conversation continued with contagious vs. infectious and what antibodies do. Many of the words we’ve continued to add to our vocabularies address the ongoing nature of our situation. Maybe we long for the Before Times or have embraced cluttercore as we cope. The ups and downs of this life haven’t been easy (it’s a coronacoaster, to be honest), but the new vocabulary has helped us stay safe and informed during these scary times. And what better way to bring some welcome humor and humility to our lives in the bunker than some wordplay? Here’s our ongoing roundup of some of the new slang terms born of this unique, unprecedented time in modern life—a time of upheaval that some more jokingly call the coronapocalypse (corona apocalypse) or coronageddon (corona armageddon). the Before Times Are you walking around in a constant state of nostalgia? Then the term Before Times is for you. This humorous (and yes, dark) take on life pre-pandemic makes it clear that we’ve lived through an apocalyptic rupture point that separates old and new. The Before Times has long been a trope in science fiction, and linguist Ben Zimmer traces this specific phrase back to 1960s Star Trek, though some variations (beforetime) appear in early texts like the Bible. Example: Remember in the Before Times, when we packed together in movie theaters for a fun time? Seems like a different world now! rona Rona—often in the phrase the rona—is an informal shortening of coronavirus. Coronavirus is popularly shortened to corona, which was apparently further clipped to rona. Rona is often used as a playful or ironic way to refer to COVID-19, especially when commenting on more relatable, humorous challenges of social distancing during the pandemic. It is generally not meant, however, to be flippant about the very serious loss and disruption COVID-19 has wreaked—nor diminish the life-saving service of so many essential workers, from grocery clerks to nurses. It’s a bit of gallows humor. Some people have personified the virus as Miss Rona or Aunt Rona. And la rona (meant as “the rona”) has emerged in some Spanish-language contexts. Other informal shortenings? Just as coronavirus has been shortened to corona and rona, so quarantine has been shortened to quar—and even pandemic to panny. Example: Yeah, I don’t know about you, but homeschooling my kids during the rona ends up in a lot of Frozen 2. cornteen Cornteen is an intentional misspelling of quarantine, often used in ironic commentary on what it’s like to be at home during the coronavirus pandemic. It may have originated as an actual misspelling of quarantine. (Hey, quarantine wasn’t exactly a word most of us used every day until COVID-19.) Cornteen is occasionally used to joke about how quarantine is pronounced in various regional accents. Some people visually pun on cornteen by substituting the corn emoji, 🌽, for the corn- part of the word; others pun on the -teen to mean “teenager.” doomscrolling Life under the rona has meant that it’s even harder to peel our eyes away from our phones and computers, constantly refreshing our feeds for the latest news about the pandemic. At least there’s a word for that: doomscrolling, also doomscrolling. The term has been notably used—and popularized in part by her exhortations to a take a break from doing it—by Quartz reporter Karen K. Ho. Scrolling refers to scrolling down on our smartphones for the latest posts on social media. And doom … well, a lot of the news we’re seeing online feels full of gloom and doom. Example: I was up to 2 a.m. last night doomscrolling about coronavirus news in my state. A related slang term is doomsurfing, or compulsively surfing the internet for upsetting news. coronasomnia Staying up late, again? Waking up at 4am to doomscroll? Can’t remember your last good night of sleep? You’re not the only one. The term coronasomnia refers to—what else?—the insomnia that’s afflicting so many of us during the pandemic. Doctors and pharmacists have seen a measurable increase in the number of people suffering symptoms of insomnia or whose symptoms have worsened since the quarantine began. Some estimates suggest some 20 to 30 percent of the population—including children—may be impacted. One doctor coined the term “FED UP” to describe the worries of this stressful time. It stands for “financial stress, emotional stress, distance from others, unpredictability, and personal and professional concerns.” Yikes. Sounds like that’s another term for the dictionary. coronacoaster If you’re suffering from coronasomnia, you’ll likely understand this next word without much of an explanation. Coronacoaster is one of the many new COVID-inspired coinages that use corona (short for coronavirus) as a kind of combining form. It blends corona and rollercoaster to describe the emotional experience of life during the pandemic. Did you bake cookies and then sob like a baby while masking up for the 10,000th time? You’re on the coaster! Example: The coronacoaster has been exhausting this week. I started crying during my weekly family Zoom and couldn’t stop. coronacut The hilariously bad haircut we give ourselves under lockdown. This was one of the first coronacoinages out there—proving that sometimes we worry most about the little things … or that we’re all pretty vain. It feels like so long ago since we first heard this term, which only goes to show how slang changes as our experience of the pandemic changes. cluttercore A “messy aesthetic,” especially in terms of embracing one’s books, knickknacks, and other stuff at home and sharing it on social media. While coronacut reminds us of our struggles during the earliest days of the pandemic, this term reflects the ongoing evolution of quarantine life. Cluttercore emerged as a maximalist, anti-Kondo approach in early 2020 before any lockdowns, but the pandemic really helped popularize the term. (As of October, videos with the hashtag #cluttercore had more than two million views.) This combining form blends clutter (“a disorderly heap or assemblage”) with -core, which names a kind of aesthetic, social movement, or lifestyle. Cluttercore is similar to terms like cottagecore, normcore, and gorpcore. “The pandemic has forced us to reevaluate what we have, make better use of objects and space … and also see their value, often for the first time,” says Jennifer Howard, author of Clutter: An Untidy History. covidiot A blend of COVID-19 and idiot, covidiot is a slang insult for someone who disregards healthy and safety guidelines about the novel coronavirus. Some signs of covidiocy are: not washing your hands regularly, hanging out in groups of people, standing within six feet of a stranger at the grocery, hoarding items like toilet paper and hand sanitizer all to yourself. Example: Don’t be a covidiot by visiting the beach today! It’s super crowded. quaranteam The (very limited) group of people you see during self-isolation; one of the many slang terms that plays on quarantine. Whether you call it a germ pod, a COVID bubble, or your quaranteam, this is the group of people you voluntarily choose to socialize with or even live with during the quarantine. Basically, your pod chooses to isolate together, promising not to have close contact (within six feet) with anyone outside the pod. This form of contact clustering (yet another term used by epidemiologists to describe the situation) allows you to socialize while also staying safe. Quaranteam is a blend of quarantine and team, and sounds like quarantine—it’s a punning blend, as we’ve seen throughout this slideshow Example: Our quaranteam is going camping next weekend. We’re tired of all the binge-watching and baking. moronavirus Another term for a covidiot. The wordplay, here, centers on the word moron. Example: My roommate is being such a moronavirus. He went down to the beach with a huge group of friends. Calling someone a covidiot or moronavirus is a form of quarantine shaming. That’s slang for publicly criticizing someone for not following health and safety guidelines (quarantine being a shorthand for policies in place requiring people to stay at home except where necessary in many places across the country and world). quarantini How do you take your quarantini? Dirty, dry? Shaken, stirred? Vodka, gin? Quarantini is a slang term for a cocktail people drink at home while under quarantine during—and because of—the coronavirus. The term is a blend of quarantine and martini, a cocktail made with gin or vodka and dry vermouth, usually served with a green olive or a twist of lemon peel. The original quarantini referred to a martini-like cocktail mixed with vitamin C-based dietary supplements—a concoction that predates the novel coronavirus. Quarantini has spread as a more general term for alcoholic beverages consumed at home during the pandemic. Example: Frozen pizza in the oven? Paw Patrol queued up? Think it’s time for a quarantini. coronarita The margarita answer to a quarantini—served with, what else, a Corona-brand beer. A margarita is a cocktail made of tequila, lime or lemon juice, and an orange-flavored liqueur, usually served in a salt-rimmed glass. virtual happy hour When someone might drink a quarantini or coronarita. Because many people are working from home to help, they are letting off steam at the end of a long day of doomscrolling by holding virtual happy hours over Zoom, FaceTime, Google Hangouts, and other video conferencing or chat applications. Happy hour is a cocktail hour or longer period at a bar, during which drinks are served at reduced prices or with free snacks. It’s also used as a shorthand for drinks, generally with colleagues or friends, at the end of the workday, especially near the end of the work week. walktail When you want to take your quarantini or coronita outside on a walk (not that we’re condoning that), then you’d have a walktail. With so many quarantining at home with nothing to do—and nowhere to drink with the bars closed—some people have taken to swigging while sauntering, according to a New York Times article that identified this new trend. A walktail combines the words walk and cocktail, and bar owners are reporting increased alcohol to-go sales as a result. People are drinking and walking their neighborhoods, walking their pets, or just hosting happy hours in the backyard. Now, readers, do keep in mind: almost everywhere in the US it’s illegal to carry an “open container,” so most people disguise their walktails in discreet containers. Or you can also go bold, like the woman who dressed up in her bridal gown to dance in the street. Zoom-bombing This one’s a more serious entry. When using Zoom or similar services, be wary of Zoom-bombing. This is when uninvited guests to a virtual meeting disrupt it with various obscene, violent, or offensive images or words. Bombing, here, is based on photobombing, or when people ruin a photograph by appearing in the image without the photographer’s knowledge, often in some dramatic or comical way. Zoom mom A demographic of moms who are constantly using Zoom. They used to be called soccer moms, but COVID-19 changed that. Now, these so-called Zoom moms are described as spending a lot of time using Zoom for work, their children’s schooling, or simply to chat with their friends who are also stuck at home. In a May 22 article, Zoom moms were identified as a potentially powerful voting bloc that could influence the 2020 elections. Example: If the updated back to school plans aren’t released soon, the Zoom moms may revolt. Zoom fatigue The exhaustion that sets in while living life over Zoom. Fatigue is a “weariness from bodily or mental exertion,” and people began to cling to the term Zoom fatigue pretty quickly in April. Experts note that this sense of exhaustion is a real phenomenon caused by the amount of information processed face-to-face on Zoom without any non-verbal cues. Conversations and meetings cause conflicting emotions, without allowing people to relax as they would in person. Zoom fatigue ties into the larger phenomenon of “pandemic fatigue”: months into the pandemic and we are feeling the emotional, social, and psychological toll even as we try to grasp the loss of our lives and livelihood. Zoom town A place where housing sales are booming due to buyers who work remotely and are willing to live farther from the office. Example: The realtor convinced us to look at several homes in a nearby Zoom town, and I couldn’t help but imagine an idyllic life in the suburbs—complete with backyard barbecues and a two-car garage. Competition for homes in Zoom towns in suburbs and areas surrounding city centers is heating up as workers embrace remote work and ditch their commutes. Prices in these areas are often lower than in tighter urban markets. Zoom town is a play on Zoom (which of course, can also mean “to move quickly”) and boom town, a noun meaning “a town that has grown very rapidly as a result of sudden prosperity.” quarantine and chill Netflix and chill, but for the coronavirus era. Quarantine and chill is used for various ways people are hunkering down and spending free time at home during the coronavirus, especially with a romantic partner while marathoning streaming services. Be careful when you search for quarantine and chill on social media, though: some people use the phrase when posting revealing selfies. Example: My hubby and I are in an epic tournament of Rummy 500. Winner each night gets to pick the movie. #Quarantineandchill coronials, quaranteens, coronababies When two people get really cozy while quarantine-and-chilling, they may, you know … Babies being conceived while people are cooped up at home during the coronavirus have been dubbed coronababies. And when these babies get older, they will become the quaranteens, a pun on quarantine and teen(ager). The hypothetical new generation of children conceived during COVID-19 has cleverly been crowned the coronials, a play on corona(virus) and millennials. covidivorce The experience for other couples under COVID-19 quarantine may not be so snuggly. Being in extended isolation with loved ones can strain a relationship. Enter covidivorce, or divorces filed as a result of a couple’s experience during COVID-19. zumping The experience of COVID-19 isn’t just taxing on couples who live together. People who are dating are also reconsidering their relationships during the pandemic—and sometimes zumping each other. A blend of dump and Zoom (the popular video service), zumping is when you break up with someone over a video conferencing service. At least they didn’t just text? (Hey, you can do better, anyways). turbo relationship While some people are breaking up over Zoom due to quarantining, sheltering in place means others are turbocharging their relationship. The quarantine required couples to face a tough choice: break up or, er, shack up. According to some therapists, many couples who sped up the traditional courtship to live together during these conditions are reporting positive relationships and strong levels of commitment. Turbo ultimately derives from a Latin word meaning “whirlwind”—and turbo relationships may certainly get people’s minds, and hearts, spinning? COVID-10 For some, quarantining at home during COVID-19 may result in a less movement—and more snacking—than they are used to. COVID-10, also referred to as the COVID-15 or even the COVID-19, is a riff on the numerals of COVID-19 and the freshman 15, an expression for the weight some people (are said to) gain during their first year of college. (Hey, gotta stock up on some supplies to help flatten the curve. And gotta take up delicious hobbies to stay engaged!) See also the German Coronaspeck, weight gained during the coronavirus pandemic, a play on Kummerspeck, or weight gained as a result of emotional eating. coronacation Coronavirus-compelled staycations, due to cancelled classes, shifts, and the like. It’s usually an ironic term—just ask parents working from home while teaching their kids. Example: My teen thinks he’s getting a coronacation since his school has moved online. Oh, wait until he sees how I am going to keep him busy with the Learning At Home resources. drive-by, drive-in So if you can’t take that dream vacation you’d always wanted … how about a drive-by birthday party instead? Social distancing has inspired a lot of creative adaptations for our celebrations—and equally unique terms for them. We’ve been introduced to drive-by graduations, weddings, and birthdays, as well as drive-in concerts and campaign rallies during the lead up to the election. Generally drive-in refers to “a place of business or public facility designed to accommodate patrons who sit in their automobiles.” The adjective is “relating to, or characteristic of such an establishment.” Drive-by is “occurring while driving past a person, object, etc.” Example: The four friends jumped in the car and barely made it to the drive-in concert on time.

What Are Open-Ended Questions? Learn How To Use Them Effectively We ask a lot of important questions: What is love? What time does the bus get here? Doesn’t the Golden Snitch make the whole rest of the game pointless and unnecessary? All of the questions that we ask fall into two major categories: open-ended questions and closed-ended questions. What do these names really mean? What is the difference between the types of questions? We are going to answer those questions and explore how the type of question you ask often impacts the type of answer you’ll get. What is an open-ended question? An open-ended question is any question that can’t be answered with a single word or doesn’t have a specific correct answer. Typically, a person will need to stop and think about how to answer an open-ended question. Open-ended questions can and often do have long answers and may also ask a person to answer with an opinion or personal interpretation rather than ask them to recite a fact. Examples of open-ended questions The following questions are examples of open-ended questions; they can’t be answered with a single word and/or don’t have a single correct answer. - Why do you like pop music? - What were you doing on the night of March 5? - What effects did the Industrial Revolution have on society? - Who was the best player to play for the Denver Broncos and why? - What is your most precious childhood memory? What is a closed-ended question? A closed-ended or closed question is, simply put, any question that isn’t an open-ended question. A closed-ended question either has a person choose from a selection of answers, can be answered with a single word, or has a fixed correct answer. Often, closed-ended questions are referred to using terms that specifically describe what kind of question it is. For example, you have probably heard closed-ended questions referred to by names such as “multiple-choice questions,” “yes or no questions,” “true-false questions,” or “fixed-choice questions.” Closed-ended questions often have short answers that a person may only need a second to figure out. Closed-ended questions often require facts as answers and often only have a single correct answer. They may ask a person’s opinion, but rarely ask a person to explain their opinion or to elaborate further on it. Examples of close-ended questions The following questions are examples of close-ended questions. They either have a fixed answer, can be answered with a single word or short phrase, or ask a person to select from a choice of specific answers. - Is an apple a fruit? (The only logical answers are “Yes” or “No.” The question also has a single correct answer: Yes.) - True or False? Penguins can swim. (A person is asked to choose between two answers. The question also has a fixed answer: True.) - Who was America’s first president? (This question has a fixed, short answer: George Washington.) - What time is it? (This question has a single correct answer.) - Which country do you live in? (Although this question has many possible answers, a person can and probably will answer it with a single word or phrase.) What is a leading question? A leading question is a question that is worded in a way so as to lead to an answer that the asker wants. A leading question could be either an open-ended or closed-ended question. An example of a leading question would be We all know that Colonel Mustard is the culprit, right? By the way that this question is worded, the asker clearly expects the answer to be “Yes.” By framing the question this way, the asker is trying to lead someone to an answer they want: that Colonel Mustard is the guilty person. Here are two more examples of leading questions: - Closed-ended: Should we really continue to listen to this obvious liar? (The asker of this question clearly wants someone to answer “No.”) - Open-ended: What do you think about the abominable act of declawing cats? (The asker of this question has used biased language to make it clear that they expect the answer to be a negative opinion of something they personally dislike.) When to use open-ended vs. closed-ended questions Generally speaking, the choice of whether to ask an open-ended or closed-ended question will depend entirely on what the point of the question is. If a person wants a quick, simple answer they will probably ask a closed-ended question. On the other hand, if they want to know every detail of a person’s thoughts, they are much more likely to ask an open-ended question. Often, an asker will use both open-ended and closed-ended questions to test someone or to try and find the answers they are looking for. Let’s look at some specific situations where different types of questions might be used. Surveys Often, the point of surveys is to try and learn people’s opinions or feelings about something. Depending on how much detail is wanted, a survey constructor may decide to use either open-ended or closed-ended questions. For example, national surveys are often interested in gathering information or opinions of very large groups of people. Because they may not have the time or resources to review thousands or millions of lengthy responses, these surveys will often only have multiple choice questions (closed-ended) with short answers such as What is your age? or Who do you plan to vote for in the election? Because the answers are short, the survey taker can quickly and accurately review them and discover the information they were after. Even when using closed-ended questions, though, a survey maker may first use a data collection survey that uses open-ended questions to try and figure out what the answer choices for closed-ended questions should be. However, a survey maker might instead want long, detailed opinions. For example, a company might survey its customers to get feedback on their products or services. In this case, the company specifically needs detailed answers so they can learn exactly what people like and don’t like. For a survey like this, they will probably ask open-ended questions such as What is your least favorite ride in the amusement park and why? or How can we better address the needs of our younger audience members?

What Are The Different Names For Our Moon? Over the moons The English word moon is very old and dates back to before the year 900. It originally comes from the Old English word mona and is related to the Latin mēnsis, meaning “month.” As you’ll soon see, this isn’t the only link between the moon and calendar months. In fact, different cultures had different nicknames for the moon to go with each month of the year, according to The Old Farmer’s Almanac. These nicknames were used to refer to the moon during an entire lunar phase cycle starting at either a full or new moon. For example, January’s moon might generally be called the Wolf Moon or the Full Wolf Moon, when specifically referring to the January full moon. When looking at lunar calendars, you will often find these common folk names still used to refer to the full moons throughout the year. full moon Before we get to that, though, let’s look at some terms that people have used to refer to the moon through the years. - full moon: The full moon is the phase of the moon in which the entire moon is visible thanks to sunlight. During this time, the moon looks like a bright, full circle in the night sky. - supermoon: A supermoon is a full moon that occurs when the moon is at or near its closest distance to Earth. Astronomers scientifically refer to this event as a perigean full moon. - micromoon: The term micromoon (or minimoon) is informally used as the opposite of a supermoon. Micromoon refers to a full moon that occurs when the moon is at its furthest point from Earth. In 2022, none of the full moons will be micromoons. - blood moon: The term blood moon is used to refer to the moon during a total lunar eclipse. During this time, the moon appears blood red or reddish-brown because the only light that hits the moon is reflected light from the Earth’s atmosphere. - blue moon: The term blue moon is informally used to refer to a second full moon that occurs during a single calendar month. This event is very rare—sadly, it won’t occur in 2022—and so the phrase once in a blue moon is used to refer to events that rarely happen. - harvest moon: The harvest moon is the full moon that occurs closest to the autumnal equinox. The autumnal equinox occurs around September 22 or 23, so the harvest moon will fall in either September or October. The moon has always fascinated us and has inspired a lot of different words and phrases that we use to refer to a wide variety of things. Now that we’ve covered this terminology, follow along for a list of unique names for each month’s full moon, starting with January’s Wolf Moon (or Frost Exploding Moon). January | Wolf Moon Full Moon Date in 2022: January 17 The Old Farmer’s Almanac, a reference full of weather predictions and advice, has been published continuously since 1792 and has captured the old names used to refer to the different full moons throughout the year. According to the almanac, January’s Wolf Moon was named for the howling of wolves that was often heard during the month. People once thought wolves howled because they were hungry and on the hunt for prey–such as foolish moon gazers. Now, we know that wolves howl as a general form of communication, which means those howling wolves could have been talking about anything. Other traditional names for January’s moon are related to the harsh, cold winter weather one experiences in the Northern Hemisphere during January. These include names such as the Cold Moon, Frost Exploding Moon, Hard Moon, and Severe Moon. February | Snow Moon Full Moon Date in 2022: February 16 Which leads us to February’s Snow Moon. This name was inspired by the snowfalls of February, which is statistically the snowiest month of the year on average in the United States. Besides the weather, other traditional names for the February Moon were inspired by animals or the difficulty of finding food during the winter. Some other traditional names include Bear Moon, Eagle Moon, Hungry Moon, and Raccoon Moon. March | Worm Moon Full Moon Date in 2022: March 18 Worms? Yay! Yay? Worm Moon, the traditional name for the March moon was inspired by the emergence of earthworms and bugs from the soil and trees during the beginning of spring. Other traditional names for the March moon were typically inspired by the changing of the season or nature in general. Some of these names include the Crow Comes Back Moon, Sugar Moon, Strong Winds Moon, and Sore Eyes Moon. April | Pink Moon Full Moon Date in 2022: April 16 Sadly, the moon doesn’t turn pink in April. No, this traditional name was inspired by the plant Phlox subulata, also known as moss pink, which is native to the central and eastern United States. The plant’s pink flowers usually bloom during April, which explains the nickname. Like the names of the March moon, the traditional names of April’s moon were often inspired by the transition from winter to spring. Some other traditional names of the April moon include the Breaking Ice Moon, Budding Moon of Plants and Shrubs, and Moon When the Ducks Come Back. May | Flower Moon Full Moon Date in 2022: May 16 April showers bring May flowers and a flowery moon to go along with them! This traditional name for May’s moon was inspired by the many flowers that bud during the month. Even today, the month of May is still associated with flowers. Other traditional names for the May moon often reference flowers or the warm weather that allows them to grow. These names include Budding Moon, Leaf Budding Moon, Planting Moon, and Egg Laying Moon. In 2022, the first of two lunar eclipses will occur in May. Depending on where you live, it may be possible to see a blood moon when the lunar eclipse is visible during the night of May 15/May 16. June | Strawberry Moon Full Moon Date in 2022: June 14 The tasty traditional name of June’s moon recognizes the fact that June was the time to harvest strawberries for many of the Indigenous Peoples of North America. This is still true even today as strawberries typically ripen during the transition from spring to summer, so June is the peak time to harvest strawberries in North America. Some traditional names for the June moon were based on the natural events associated with the spring-summer transition, such as Blooming Moon, Birth Moon, and Hatching Moon. Other traditional names were inspired by things people would eat and drink during the June marriage season, such as Mead Moon and Honey Moon. According to most metrics, June’s full moon will be the first of two supermoons that occur in 2022. July | Buck Moon Full Moon Date in 2022: July 13 The traditional name of Buck Moon for the July moon was inspired by the word buck (“male deer”), because it had been observed that bucks’ antlers grow largest during this month. Modern research of the deer antler growth cycle supports this observation. Other traditional names of July’s moon were inspired by animals and plants commonly found in North America during the summer. These names include Salmon Moon, Berry Moon, and Raspberry Moon. According to most metrics, July’s full moon will be the second and last supermoon of 2022. August | Sturgeon Moon Full Moon Date in 2022: August 12 The fishy name of August’s moon is named after the sturgeon, a general name for different types of large fish that can be found in North American lakes and rivers. August’s moon was named after sturgeon because these fish were most easily caught in August following their typical mating season. Today, many types of sturgeon are considered endangered, and sturgeon fishing is often prohibited or strictly regulated. Other traditional names for the August moon, such as Corn Moon, Ricing Moon, and Black Cherries Moon, are based on the harvesting of summer crops. September | Harvest Moon or Corn Moon Full Moon Date in 2022: September 10 The traditional name of Harvest Moon is given to either the September or October moon, depending on which full moon occurs closer to the autumnal equinox. Because the September full moon is usually the closer one, it is more often referred to as the Harvest Moon. If it isn’t, then the name Corn Moon is used to refer to September’s moon. Either way, Harvest Moon and Corn Moon both refer to the fact that the late summer/early fall was the time when North American peoples would harvest important crops, like corn, that would get them through the winter. Other traditional names for the September moon such as Autumn Moon, Moon of Brown Leaves, and Falling Leaves Moon, reference the fact that September is the time when summer gives way to fall. In 2022, the September full moon is this year’s Harvest Moon, as it is the closest full moon to the autumnal equinox, which will occur on September 22. October | Hunter’s Moon or Harvest Moon Full Moon Date in 2022: October 9 Traditionally, the full moon that follows the Harvest Moon is called the Hunter’s Moon. Because the harvest moon usually happens in September, the October moon is typically called the Hunter’s Moon. The name of this moon is thought to come from the practice of North American peoples engaging in hunting after the fields had been harvested and before the winter came. You can never be too prepared for winter, so hunters would gather meat before the winter weather would force animals (and the hunters) to seek shelter. Other traditional names for the October moon include Migrating Moon, Freezing Moon, and Ice Moon. These names reference the fact that October soon leads to winter and temperatures start to drop. November | Beaver Moon Full Moon Date in 2022: November 8 The traditional name of the November moon comes from the beaver, a large rodent famous for building natural dams. November’s moon was named after this busy animal because November was a good time for North America peoples to hunt and trap beavers as they normally retreat to their lodges during this time. Other traditional names for the November moon, such as Digging Moon, Deer Rutting Moon, and Whitefish Moon, were inspired by other animals who are busy during November as they prepare for winter. The traditional names Frost Moon and Freezing Moon were also used to indicate that this moon often signaled that winter was fast approaching. In 2022, the second lunar eclipse will happen in November. Depending on where you live, the eclipse may appear as a blood moon when it occurs on the night of November 7/November 8. December | Cold Moon Full Moon Date in 2022: December 7 Winter is in full swing—in the Northern Hemisphere, at least—by the time that December’s Cold Moon graces the sky. The explanation behind the traditional name for December’s moon shouldn’t be hard to figure out if you live in Canada or the northern United States and have had the “pleasure” of experiencing a frigid winter. Many other traditional names for the December moon reference the freezing winter weather, such as Hoar Frost Moon, Snow Moon, Moon of the Popping Trees, and Winter Maker Moon.

Learn The Birthstones That Make Each Month Sparkle Birthstones are precious or semiprecious gemstones that are associated with a particular month or sign of the Zodiac. Going back to ancient times, certain gems were believed to bring good fortune if worn during specific months. The origin of this belief is often traced back to the story of the Breastplate of Aaron in the book of Exodus from the Bible. The legendary breastplate was said to be decorated with 12 differently colored gems. The breastplate inspired the original lists of birthstones that would change over the many following centuries. In 1912, the American National Retail Jeweler’s Association would popularize the word birthstone after making an “official” list of birthstones that is still used today with new additions to it. Modern lists often have multiple birthstones tied to certain months. All of that being said, you might be curious as to what your birthstone is and which gemstone goes with each month. We’ve gathered up a—sadly, metaphorical—treasure trove of gemstones along with some details about each one. 💎Birthstones chart Month - Birthstone January - Garnet February - Amethyst March - Aquamarine, Bloodstone April - Diamond, Rock Crystal May - Emerald, Chrysoprase June - Pearl, Alexandrite, Moonstone July - Ruby, Carnelian, Onyx August - Peridot, Spinel, Sardonyx September - Sapphire October - Opal, Tourmaline November - Topaz, Citrine December - Turquoise, Blue Zircon, Tanzanite, Lapis Lazuli January | garnet Garnets are a group of minerals commonly found in certain types of sedimentary and igneous rocks. The name garnet is most often used to specifically refer to red minerals used as semiprecious gemstones. Garnets come in many different colors, but dark red garnets are the ones most often used as birthstones. The word garnet originally comes from the Latin word grānātum, meaning “granular.” This word was specifically referring to the shape of the red seeds found in a pomegranate, which resemble red garnets. February | amethyst Amethyst is a variety of purple quartz. The intensity of amethyst’s color (and thus its value) depends on how much iron is in the amethyst when it crystallizes. Amethysts come in different shades of purple. The word amethyst comes from the Greek améthystos, meaning “not intoxicating.” Its name comes from many ancient legends and superstitions that claimed wearing an amethyst would prevent drunkenness. March | aquamarine, bloodstone aquamarine Aquamarine is a blue or greenish-blue variety of the mineral beryl used as a semiprecious gemstone. Aquamarine crystals typically form in hot, open spaces underground that have a good supply of space and beryllium. Aquamarines are usually pale or light blue in color. Aquamarine’s name comes from the Latin aqua marīna, meaning “sea water.” The name is a reference to aquamarine’s blue color. bloodstone Bloodstone, also known as heliotrope, is a green variety of the mineral chalcedony with spots of jasper scattered across it. It is considered to be a semiprecious gemstone. Bloodstone gemstones are usually dark green with dabs of red. Bloodstone is a combination of the words blood and stone. Bloodstone features spots of red jasper that resemble blood drops or blood splatter. April | diamond, rock crystal diamond A diamond is an extremely hard form of carbon which is considered a precious gem. Diamonds form underground when carbon is exposed to extreme amounts of pressure and heat. Diamonds come in many different colors, but colorless or clear diamonds are the ones most preferred as gems. The word diamond is thought to come from the Latin adamas, meaning “hard metal.” Diamond’s name was inspired by its famous hardness and shares an origin with the word adamant, an adjective that can accurately describe a diamond. Diamonds are one of the most culturally significant gems, including in slang like diamond hands. Learn what that means here. rock crystal Rock crystal is a transparent variety of quartz. Quartz is one of the most common minerals, and it is naturally colourless. Quartz will change colors if the crystal has impurities. Rock crystal is colorless and transparent. Rock crystal’s name is simply a combination of the words rock and crystal. Rock crystal is a crystal of quartz, a mineral that is commonly found in rocks. May | emerald, chrysoprase emerald An emerald is a green variety of beryl that is considered a precious gem. The green color of emeralds is caused by chromium mixing with the beryllium needed to form beryl. Beryllium and chromium are rarely found in significant amounts in the same place, which is why emeralds are so rare and valuable. Emeralds have a rich green color. The intensity of the green color is a major factor of determining an emerald’s value. The word emerald comes through Old French from the Greek word smáragdos, which means “green gem.” chrysoprase Chrysoprase is a green variety of chalcedony, which is yet another type of quartz. Unlike emeralds, chrysoprase’s green color comes from nickel rather than chromium. Chrysoprase comes in different shades of green. The name chrysoprase comes from the Greek khrusoprasos, which translates to “golden leek.” Chrysoprase is a gem (“golden”) that is green (like a leek). June | pearl, alexandrite, moonstone pearl Unlike all other gemstones, pearls are made by animals, specifically mollusks. Pearls are formed when a mollusk is irritated by something in its shell and secretes substances onto it. Over time, the secretion layers will build up to form a pearl. Pearls come in many colors, but usually white or cream-colored pearls are used in jewelry. The word pearl can be traced back to the Latin perna, meaning “sea mussel.” alexandrite Alexandrite is a rare variety of the mineral chrysoberyl. Similarly to emeralds, alexandrite is formed when chromium mixes with beryllium and aluminum. Because this rarely happens, alexandrite is extremely rare and valuable. Alexandrite is famous for its ability to change color from bluish green to purplish red under different types of light. Alexandrite is named after Czar Alexander II of Russia. moonstone Moonstone gems are a variety of adularia, which is a type of the mineral feldspar. Moonstone is formed from minerals mixing together and layering on top of each other. Moonstone is colorless but is famous for its adularescence, its ability to “shine blue.” This effect is caused by the mineral layers of the moonstone refracting light. Moonstone is a combination of the words moon and stone. Moonstone was said to resemble the moon, and many legends claimed it either came from the moon or had magical abilities linked to the moon. July | ruby, carnelian, onyx ruby A ruby is a precious gem that is a red variety of the mineral corundum. A ruby’s red color is caused by chromium mixing with the corundum. Rubies come in different shades of red. Pure red rubies are considered the most valuable. The word ruby comes from the Medieval Latin rubīnus, meaning “red.” carnelian Carnelian or cornelian is a type of chalcedony that is considered a semiprecious gemstone. Carnelian’s red or orange color comes from iron oxide. Carnelian gemstones are often heated or dyed in order to change their colors. Carnelians come in different shades of red, orange, or brown. The various spellings of carnelian/cornelian are thought to come from the Old French word cornele, meaning “cherry,” in reference to the gem’s reddish color. onyx Onyx is another type of chalcedony considered to be a semiprecious gemstone. Onyx is a layered chalcedony that is formed from quartz being heated by lava. Onyx comes in different colors but black onyx is used as a July birthstone. The word onyx comes from the Greek ónyx, meaning “nail” or “claw.” The white or flesh-colored bands found in onyx can make the stone appear like a fingernail. August | peridot, sardonyx, spinel peridot Peridot is a green variety of the mineral olivine. Olivine crystals form deep in the Earth’s mantle and are typically brought to the surface via volcanoes. Peridot gemstones have a lime green color. The exact origins of the name peridot are unknown, but it can be traced to the French French péridot, a name for a “green gem.” sardonyx Sardonyx is another type of chalcedony. It is formed by layering of sard and onyx, which explains the name. The color of sardonyx depends on the sard and onyx within it. Sard comes in shades of yellowish-red or reddish-brown, and the bands of onyx are usually white in color. The name sardonyx is a combination of sard and onyx, the two types of chalcedony that combine to make it. spinel Spinel is both the name of a group of minerals and a gemstone made from a particular type of spinel. Spinel is often more resistant to erosion than the rock around it, so spinel crystals are often gathered up in flowing water and deposited in places where miners will eventually find them. Spinel comes in many colors, but red or pink spinel are the colors used for birthstones The word spinel can be traced back to the Latin spina (“thorn”), which referenced the thorny shape of spinel crystals. September | sapphire The term sapphire is used to refer to any variety of the mineral corundum that isn’t red. Typically, the name sapphire is used to refer specifically to blue corundum that is classified as a precious gem. This sapphire’s blue color is caused by small amounts of iron and titanium mixing with the conundrum. Sapphires come in all colors besides red, but blue sapphires are used as the September birthstone. The word sapphire comes from the Greek sáppheiros, a word that may have referred to blue gems, such as sapphire or lapis lazuli. October | opal, tourmaline opal Opal is a mineral that is similar to quartz but has water in it. The presence of the water makes opal brittle, and opal gemstones are usually quite fragile. The “precious opals” used as birthstones come in different colors but often have a kaleidoscopic effect where they shine in a range of colors. The word opal comes from the Greek opállios, meaning “opal” or “gem.” It may also be related to the Sanskrit upala, meaning “precious stone.” tourmaline Tourmaline is a general name for a group of minerals and gemstones that come from said minerals. Large tourmaline crystals typically form after a mixture of many different elements is heated by hot water and water vapor. The color of the tourmaline will depend on which specific elements are used to make it. Tourmaline comes in every color, but pink is typically used as the birthstone color. Tourmaline comes from the Sinhalese tōramalliya, which means “carnelian.” You might remember that carnelian is the name of another gem that is one of July’s birthstones. November | topaz, citrine topaz Topaz is a mineral used as a semiprecious gemstone. Topaz is a very hard mineral that needs fluorine from magma to mix with other elements in order to form crystals. Topaz comes in many colors, but yellow topaz is used as the November birthstone. Topaz comes from the Greek tópazos. This word was used to refer to an island where yellow gems were often found. citrine Citrine is yet another one of the many varieties of quartz. Any yellow or yellowish quartz is called citrine, and it is possible to turn amethyst (purple quartz) into citrine by heating it until it changes color. Citrine comes in shades of yellow. The “inexpensive” (for a gem) citrine is often confused for more expensive yellow gems, such as topaz. The word citrine is formed from a combination of the word citrus and the suffix -ine, which means “like” or “of the nature of.” Citrine is yellow like a citrusy lemon. December | turquoise, tanzanite, blue zircon, lapis lazuli turquoise Turquoise is a blue or greenish-blue mineral used as a semiprecious gem. Turquoise grows best in arid areas where rainfall can help bring underground the copper that turquoise needs to form. Blue and greenish-blue turquoise are most prized as gemstones. Turquoise comes from an Old French word that meant “Turkish stone.” This name referred to the Turkish peoples of the Middle Ages and the lands they inhabited. tanzanite Tanzanite is a variety of the mineral zoisite. Tanzanite’s color is caused by bits of vanadium mixing with zoisite and getting very hot until it turns a blue color. Tanzanite has a purplish-blue color. Tanzanite is named after the country of Tanzania, the only place in the world where tanzanite is naturally found. blue zircon Zircon is an incredibly common mineral that is found in rocks all over the world. Zircon is highly resistant to erosion, so zircon crystals often outlast the rocks around them. Zircon comes in many colors but blue zircon is used as a December birthstone. The word zircon is an alteration of the older word jargon, which was used to refer to colorless zircon gemstones. lapis lazuli Lapis lazuli is a rock made of multiple minerals. Lapis lazuli’s deep blue color comes from lazurite, which is the “main ingredient” of lapis lazuli. Lapis lazuli comes in shades of blue. The name lapis lazuli comes from a combination of the Latin words lapis, meaning “stone,” and lazulī, from the word lazulum used to refer to an azure blue color.

Get Swept Away By The Korean Words Streaming Into English The "Korean Wave" In the last decade or so, a wave has swept out of the Korean peninsula and spread anywhere and everywhere. But don’t worry. This wave isn’t made of water. No, it is made of … pop culture! The word Hallyu, which literally means “Korean Current” or “Korean Wave,” has been used to refer to the wave of Korean pop culture that has swept across the globe and led to a rapid explosion in popularity of Korean music, movies, food, television shows, and video games. Hallyu has exposed us to K-pop, K-dramas, and K-beauty. If you are hooked on the TV series Squid Game or have been enlisted into the BTS ARMY, you’ve already been caught up in Hallyu. Hallyu isn’t just about learning names of popular K-pop stars, though. It has led to a wider awareness of Korean culture and words from the Korean language. We’ve gathered up some of these words to help explain some of the things that have fueled the momentum of Hallyu. Note: We often use the words Korea and Korean to refer specifically to the Republic of Korea, commonly known as South Korea. Hangul (한글) First, you should know that the Korean language uses an entirely different writing system from English. Korean uses a 24-letter alphabet consisting of 14 consonants and 10 vowels. The name of the Korean alphabet is Hangul, which would be written in the Korean alphabet as 한글 and translates to “great script.” Because of the different alphabets, the English spellings of all of the words we will look at are merely renderings of how these Korean words would roughly be transliterated in written English. This means that you may come across alternate spellings of many of these words. Some important words Moving on, let’s look at some words that are useful for getting a bit of understanding into Korean history and culture. Korea: The English word Korea comes from the Goryeo/Koryo dynasty that ruled the Korean peninsula for several hundred years. South Koreans often refer to South Korea or the Korean peninsula as Hanguk (한국). The word Korea is often used to refer both to the Korean peninsula and specifically to the nation of the Republic of Korea (South Korea) located on the southern half of the peninsula. Won: Won (원) refers to Korean currency. Won comes in both coins and dollar bills. Roughly speaking, a US dollar is worth around 1100 Won, but the value frequently changes based on global economics. hanbok: Hanbok (한복) is the traditional Korean attire. The top piece, called a jeogori, resembles a sleeved jacket and is worn by both men and women. To complete hanbok, men wear a vest and pants while women wear a skirt and pantaloons. Typically, hanbok is not worn on a daily basis and is reserved for special occasions. sijo: Sijo (시조) is a Korean poetic form. Similar to the Japanese haiku, sijo typically follows certain guidelines based on numbers of syllables and lines. In general, sijo is intended to be used to compose songs rather than written poems. Siblings and friends In Korean, different terms of address are used to show respect to people older than you. Some of these terms can also be used among friends or siblings to affectionately refer to one another. Depending on your gender and the gender of the person you’re speaking to, you’ll need to pick out the right word for the job: Oppa (오빠) = Older brother (used by girls/women) Noona (누나) = Older sister (used by boys/men) Unnie (언니) = Older sister (used by girls/women) Hyung (형) = Older brother (used by boys/men) In 2012, many people may have encountered the word oppa thanks to its repeated use in the massive viral hit song “Gangnam Style” by Korean artist PSY. kimchi (김치) Kimchi was a popular dish even before everyone was swept up in Hallyu. Kimchi is a traditional Korean dish that involves a combination of some kind of fermented vegetable with a variety of seasonings. Some popular picks for the vegetable include cabbage, radish, or cucumber. You have a huge number of seasonings to pick from, but some common choices include garlic, ginger, salt, chili pepper, and fish sauce. There are hundreds of kimchi recipes out there, and all that variety might explain its popularity! Other food If you’re looking for something to go with your kimchi, there are plenty of other Korean dishes available. Some other Korean foods that make good additions to the menu include: banchan (반찬): Literally “side dishes,” banchan refers to small plates of food served alongside a main meal. Banchan can include any number of small morsels of food, such as seaweed, potato salad, or pickled radishes. bulgogi (불고기): This dish, which translates to “fire meat,” is Korean-style barbeque beef. dongchimi (동치미): Dongchimi is a specific kind of kimchi that uses radishes and hot water. galbi (갈비): Galbi means “ribs,” and this dish refers to Korean-style BBQ short ribs. japchae (잡채): Japchae is a popular festive dish made of stir-fried noodles, meat, and vegetables. kimbap (김밥): Kimbap or gimbap is a Korean snack that is made of a seaweed roll (gim), rice (bap), and whatever else you want to stuff inside! samgyeopsal (삼겹살): This dish refers to Korean grilled pork belly. chimaek (치맥): Chimaek is a fun word that is used in Korean slang to refer to a meal reserved only for the most posh of gourmets: fried chicken and beer! Chimeak is a mashup of the Korean words chikin (chicken) and maekju (beer). If food speaks to your soul, you’ll want to read about the different dishes that comprise soul food. mukbang (먹방) Mukbang is a livestream of a person socializing with an audience while eating a large amount of food. Mukbang broadcasts were popularized by Korean variety shows in the early 2000s. They’ve become even more popular with the rise of live streaming services, such as YouTube or Twitch, that allow mukbang streams to reach international audiences. If your mouth is watering for more information about mukbang streams, you can check out our in-depth profile on this tantalizing trend. aegyo (애교) The term aegyo, often translated into English as meaning “cuteness,” refers to the act of acting cute and charming everyone around you with cuteness. If you are at all familiar with the Japanese kawaii, you should already have a good idea about what aegyo entails. The word aegyo is often used to refer to K-pop idols or other Korean celebrities and entertainers that are expected to use their charms to entrance an audience. Mastering aegyo is key to succeeding in these fields, and you’ll often see both male and female K-pop idols making hearts with their hands, puffing their cheeks, and using cutesy dance moves to enhance their aegyo in order to remain popular with fans. daebak! (대박) Daebak literally translates to “jackpot” or “big hit.” In practice, it is used as an exclamation to express excitement, joy, or surprise. Basically, it is used in much the same way as the English “Wow!” or “Amazing!” We think you’ll be equally excited to learn some of the English words that originate from Mandarin and Cantonese. manhwa (만화) Manhwa refers to comic books, cartoons, and animation from Korea. The word manhwa could be easily confused with the word manga, which refers to comic books and graphic novels made in Japan. Both of these words are said to have the same Chinese origin, so there is some etymological reason for the mixup. Manwha and manga often look similar and may be sold in the same sections of bookstores. Unlike Japanese manga, though, Korean manwha is read from left to right rather than right to left. Blend words In addition to Korean loanwords, Hallyu has also increased awareness of some words that blend English and Korean together. These words are sometimes used as examples of Konglish, a language phenomenon that mixes English and Korean together and sometimes changing the original English loanword and its meaning. Fighting!: Written in Hangul as either 화이팅 (hwaiting) or 파이팅 (paiting), fighting is used as an encouraging word to spur someone on to success.
