John Paul DeJoria..✨
John Paul DeJoria isn't as much of a household name as Steve Jobs or Elon Musk, but he has accomplished feats of entrepreneurship and business management that rival theirs. Starting out as a newspaper courier, and working as a janitor and tow truck driver to make ends meet, DeJoria eventually started working at a hair care company, where he met Paul Mitchell.
With a loan of just $700, the two of them started a business that turned into the conglomerate now known as John Paul Mitchell Systems. Later, DeJoria co-founded Patron Spirits, and was a founding partner of the House of Blues chain. Today, he's worth more than $3.1 billion.

📚📚📚The light of ignorance📚📚📚
I was riding a motorcycle on a rainy evening around 06.30 (it was not much dark outside). It is residential area where the traffic is very minimal. Numerous vehicles, like "birds returning to the nest" in the narrative, rush past me from the opposite direction. An high end AUDI vehicle passing me was full with high beam light in that narrow road which made me to stop as I could not see anything in the opposite. My eyes meet with darkness for five seconds each time in the merciless light of the mighty lights known as the 'High Beam'.
The car just blew long horn and asking me to go. The light of ignorance. I just told him, that it is not your mistake, when you purchased the vehicle, the Motor Vehicle Inspector failed to test you regarding the usage of high beam lights. That’s why you are roaming in the roads with great heights of ignorance. No use of telling you.
Eight of the ten oncoming vehicles come with powerful headlights. When I asked the four-wheeler driver who had slowed down at a speed limit, "Don't turn off the high beam light," he looked at me as if he were looking at something alien.
Motorists also have responsibilities beyond the law. Vehicles pass or crash in the stubbornness of whether we turn off the high beam lights first or the oncoming one. Those who do not know how to use high beam home lights are ignorantly obscured; That light flow is theirs.
The light of ignorance.

Why are people looking up phosphine?
Phosphine floated its way to among our top lookups, following reports that the clouds surrounding Venus contained just this.
SOMETHING DEADLY MIGHT be wafting through the clouds shrouding Venus—a smelly, flammable gas called phosphine that annihilates life-forms reliant on oxygen for survival. Ironically, though, the scientists who today announced sightings of this noxious gas in the Venusian atmosphere say it could be tantalizing—if controversial—evidence of life on the planet next door.
— Nadia Drake, National Geographic, 14 Sept. 2020
What does phosphine mean?
We define phosphine as “any of various derivatives of phosphine analogous to amines but weaker as bases” and “a colorless poisonous flammable gas PH3 that is a weaker base than ammonia and that is used especially to fumigate stored grain.”

Some words in the English language have more colorful histories than others, but in the case of bunkum, you could almost say it was an act of Congress that brought the word into being. Back in 1820 Felix Walker, who represented Buncombe County, North Carolina, in the U.S. House of Representatives, was determined that his voice be heard on his constituents' behalf, even though the matter up for debate was irrelevant to Walker's district and he had little to contribute. To the exasperation of his colleagues, Walker insisted on delivering a long and wearisome "speech for Buncombe." His persistent—if insignificant—harangue made buncombe (later respelled bunkum) a synonym for meaningless political claptrap and later for any kind of nonsense.

💙🦋✨J. C. Catford🦋✨🍂
Catford was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. After his secondary and university studies, he studied phonetics. He taught English abroad (in Greece, in Palestine and in Egypt), including during World War II.
He met his wife, Lotte, while he was living in Jerusalem. Lotte was from Vienna and spoke German. However, she had moved to Palestine and while she was young she learned other languages, such as Hebrew, English and Arabic. This was one source of Catford's knowledge about languages and their phonetics.
Catford founded the School of Applied Linguistics at the University of Edinburgh, as well as another department in the same university that undertook the mapping of different English dialects throughout Scotland. Catford could identify where people were from exclusively through their speech.
His expertise – which included formal phonetics, the aerodynamic and physiological production of speech, phonetic peculiarities in speech, and an astounding ability to reproduce words, and even speeches, backwards – led him to be invited to the University of Michigan. There, he headed the English Language Institute and the Laboratory of Communicative Sciences (current the Laboratory of Phonetics). He taught most of the Linguistics subjects in the same university.
He retired in 1985, but did not become inactive. On the contrary: he was invited to some of the most prestigious universities around the globe, including those in Istanbul, Jerusalem and California. He published numerous articles, participated in many conferences and continued to lecture and give presentations, especially at the University of Michigan. Many of his original works are kept there. He advised many university students who wanted to follow a career in Linguistics.
Catford had two children from his marriage with Lotte: Lorna and Julian. He died, of old age, in October 2009 in Shoreline, Washington, USA.
