Connoisseur (n.) - an expert judge in matters of taste.

E.g. Lara was a connoisseur when it came to collecting antiques - she became a very famous blogger because of her skill.

Presentiment (n.) - an intuitive feeling about the future, especially one of foreboding.

E.g. Karen had a presentiment of danger the night before she sent her daughter on a trip with her boyfriend to Georgia - her suspicion was confirmed to be true when the police knocked on her door five days later to inform her of Mira's death.

Lampoon* (v.) - publicly criticize (someone or something) by using ridicule, irony, or sarcasm.

E.g. Sira was lampooned by her classmates for looking too athletic everyday but she did not care because her maturity helped her realize that these bullies were just miserable with their own lives.

*Lampoon (n.) - a speech or text lampooning someone or something.

Singer Mika Angela was unfazed by all the lampoons online mocking her for going back to college at the age of 28. She believed in learning throughout her life rather than pleasing others for validation and acceptance.

Inquest (n.)

(I) Law meaning - a judicial inquiry to ascertain the facts relating to an incident.

The scandal is not being addressed with an inquest? There is definitely something fishy going on with the people involved in the case.

(II) Informal meaning - a discussion or investigation into something that has happened, especially something undesirable.

After the annual fashion show at UhoVille, known for its successful engagement, unexpectedly flopped this year, the organizing committee is deciding to conduct an inquest to find out what needs to be improved.

Connote (v.)

(I) (of a word) imply or suggest (an idea or feeling) in addition to the literal or primary meaning.

Securing an interview at Chord Company does not connote a higher chance of getting a job there.

(II) (of a fact) imply as a consequence or condition.

Excessive selfishness in a relationship sometimes connotes abuse, manipulation and other nasty behaviors that should be avoided at all costs.

Pokémon Evolution Stones: Part I

Basically, this is going to be a list of what I think some of the evolution stones will be from the Pokémon series, based on either, how it looks, how it is named, or both.

Moon stone: 

This first one is probably pretty straight forward and much like the anime and game says I would suspect that it would be meteor fragments from the moon. However, what makes this so neat is that we actually see meteorite fragments of the moon on earth, and here is what is looks like:

Water Stone:

This one wasn’t so obvious for me to decide what it was. At first I thought opal, but I wasn’t really satisfied with that until I remembered that quartz can actually have visible water bubbles trapped within its crystals and, to me, that seemed like the perfect fit. These water* bubbles are typically called “enhydros” and they are very popular to buy in rock and mineral stores because they are so cool to look at. 

*These bubbles don’t have to be made of water and for the purpose of showing you within an image and not a video I will actually show quartz with a petroleum enhydro so its more visible.

Dawn Stone:

For the dawn stone I went primarily on how it looked and less by its name. I assumed that it was named by the way that it refracts light to look like a beam of sun or perhaps a star. Either way the first thought that I had was of a star sapphire. This are highly beloved in the jewelry industry by the way it makes a star pattern in the stone. This effect is called an asterism, and is created by the growth of small rutile crystals inclusions within the sapphire. This phenomenon is not exclusive to sapphires and can happen to many other stones, I just chose sapphire because of the stones color.

Gerontocracy (n.) - a state, society or group governed by old people; government by old people

A gerontocracy may not be so stable in the 21st century where youth opinion and involvement is necessary to secure a better future for the generations that will face the wrath of climate change and other worrying developments.

Parenthesis (n.) - ​a word, sentence, etc. that is added to a speech or piece of writing, especially in order to give extra information. In writing, it is separated from the rest of the text using brackets, commas or dashes

You can use a parenthesis, which is a good writing device, to make your sentences more structured while writing an essay.

Perjury (n.) - the crime of telling a lie in court after you have sworn to tell the truth

What shocked me most about the witnesses of the attack on me is that they bravely committed perjury by lying about my experience. This surprised me because they helped me during the actual event. I found out later that the culprit was influential and had bribed them with money.

Pilferer (n.) - a person who steals things of little value or in small quantities, especially from the place where they work

While everyone at work pretended not to notice, it was no secret that our coworker Barbara was an avid pilferer of any extra envelopes she found on others' tables.

Convoke (v.) - to gather together a group of people for a formal meeting

Tamera, the president of the UhoVille University Student Union, convoked a special intra-university conference to discuss how the recent increase in stressed students could be helped more efficiently by the council's initiatives.

The Unrevealed Facts of The Antarctica

Welcome to the wild world of Antarctica! This icy kingdom, found at the very bottom of our planet, is not just about snow and penguins. It is a treasure chest bursting with secret wonders and surprises! Let's take a snowy slide into the magical world of Antarctica!

First off, did you know that Antarctica is the driest place on Earth? Yes, even drier than a desert! The majority of it is covered by a huge ice sheet, and it hardly ever rains or snows there. This makes the Dry Valleys, parts of Antarctica with no ice at all, the driest spots in the world!

Another cool fact - it's home to a massive mountain range called the Gamburtsev Mountains, which are as tall as the Alps. But guess what? You can't see them! They are buried under two miles of ice.

This ice is also a time machine! Scientists drill into it to get ice cores, like very cold cylinders, which have layers that tell us what the world was like hundreds of thousands of years ago!

Moreover, Antarctica is a haven for meteorites. Meteorites are bits of rock that have fallen from space. Because the ice in Antarctica is so clean, it's easier to spot them.

Plus, don’t think it’s a lonely place. It's brimming with life. From adorable penguins to mighty whales and from tiny krill to hardy bacteria, Antarctica buzzes with life.

So next time you think of Antarctica, remember it's not just an icy wilderness, it's a world full of mysteries waiting to be discovered!
