Pandemic parlance: Coronaspeck, or coronavirus fat, covidiot,

Coronaspeck, or coronavirus fat, is the helpful German word for the fat deposited by weeks of stay-at-home grazing. It’s part of a new wave of slang words and phrases to describe life under lockdown. Don’t be a “covidiot” - make sure your pandemic parlance is up to scratch, and let us know if we’ve missed anything. From 1843

衛星導航系統（Global Navigation Satellite System,GNSS）是覆蓋全球的自主地利空間定位的衛星系統，允許小巧的電子接收器確定它的所在位置（經度、緯度和高度），並且經由衛星廣播沿著視線方向傳送的時間訊號精確到10米的範圍內。接收機計算的精確時間以及位置，可以作為科學實驗的參考。

截至2020年6月，只有美國的全球定位系統 （GPS；共由24顆衛星組成）、俄羅斯的格洛納斯系統（GLONASS）和中國的北斗衛星導航系統（BDS）^[1]覆蓋全球。歐洲聯盟的伽利略定位系統則為在初期部署階段的全球導航衛星系統，預定最早到2020年才能夠充分的運作^[2]。一些國家，包括法國、日本和印度^[3]，都在發展區域導航系統。

每個覆蓋全球的系統通常都是由20-30顆衛星組成的衛星集群，以中地球軌道分布在幾個軌道平面上。實際的系統各自不同，但是使用的軌道傾斜都大於50°，和軌道週期大約都是12小時（高度大約20,000公里（12,000英里））。

"cold war" "stereotype"

Lippmann was the first to bring the phrase "cold war" to common currency, in his 1947 book by the same name.

It was Lippmann who first identified the tendency of journalists to generalize about other people based on fixed ideas.^{[citation needed]} He argued that people, including journalists, are more apt to believe "the pictures in their heads" than to come to judgment by critical thinking. Humans condense ideas into symbols, he wrote, and journalism, a force quickly becoming the mass media, is an ineffective method of educating the public. Even if journalists did better jobs of informing the public about important issues, Lippmann believed "the mass of the reading public is not interested in learning and assimilating the results of accurate investigation." Citizens, he wrote, were too self-centered to care about public policy except as pertaining to pressing local issues.

Walter Lippmann (September 23, 1889 – December 14, 1974)^[2] was an American writer, reporter and political commentator famous for being among the first to introduce the concept of Cold War, coining the term "stereotype" in the modern psychological meaning, as well as critiquing media and democracy in his newspaper column and several books, most notably his 1922 book Public Opinion.^[3]

因這次參觀同志大遊行，認識了幾個單字：

- Gay pride 同性戀自豪日：是同性戀權利運動的一部分，時間是每年6月的最後一個星期日。

- LGBT: 女同性戀（Lesbian）、男同性戀（Gay）、雙性戀（Bisexual）、跨性別（Transgender）。

- 「一群同志」的英文群體名詞也好像已有了共識，叫做a pride of gays。這個群體名詞過去用於獅子，一群獅子就叫a pride of lions。

例如：

- Decades ago, the Geography Department at Yale was abolished because it had become a pride of gays.

- To which gay pride do you belong?

- A PRIDE OF GAYS
