VOCABULARY OF THE DAY AND THE CODE!!!

Dear Students,

This week's code is "Belizean Independence".

Today's Word "tmesis"
tmesis \TMEE-sis\ (noun) - In grammar and rhetoric, the separation of the parts of a compound word, now generally done for humorous effect; for example, "what place soever" instead of "whatsoever place," or "abso-bloody-lutely." "As an example of a tmesis, Franklin was wont to quote Shakespeare from Richard II, :If on the first, how heinous e'er it be, To win thy after-love I pardon thee." Tmesis is from Greek tmesis, "a cutting," from temnein, "to cut."

COMO FUE INVENTADO EL PRIMER LAPIZ

How did the earliest pencils come about?
Some time prior to 1665, an enormous deposit of graphite was discovered at the site of Seathwaite Fell near Borrowdale, Cumbria, England. The locals found that it was very useful for marking sheep. This particular deposit of graphite was extremely pure and solid, and it could easily be sawn into sticks. This was and remains the only large scale deposit of graphite ever found in this solid form.

DE QUE MATERIAL SE HACIA LAS VELAS ANTES?

What Material Was Used To Make Early Candles?
In Rome, around the first century, candles were made out of tallow and the pith of rushes. The Egyptians and Cretans made the candle from beeswax, as early as 3000 BC. The early candle was made from various forms of natural fat, tallow, and wax. In the 18th century, spermaceti, oil produced by the sperm whale, was used to produce a superior candle. Late in the 18th century, colza oil and rapeseed oil came into use as much cheaper substitutes.
