Inbee Park is so proud that she is able to join a prestigious group such as U.S. Women’s Open champions, not to mention that she learned how to play golf only 10 years ago. She acknowledges Se Ri Pak as her inspiration for her achievement. Pak, at the age of 20, won the Women’s Open at Blackwolf Run in 1998. Now Inbee Park is a record holder as the youngest US Women’s Open champ bagging the award two weeks before her 20th birthday. The event was held in Interlachen Country Club and Park made three birdies on the back nine to make a four-shot victory. She defeated Helen Alfredsson.
The following are just a few interesting information about McDonalds:
I will create a chain of posts about pro wrestling. This performing art has been a part of my childhood and teen years. Though I am more into mixed martial arts now, I will spend some time to create a Facts post about pro wrestling.
Pro wrestling, as I have mentioned above, is a form of entertainment that combines the elements of mock combat and catch wrestling. Pro wrestling originated in carnival sideshows during the late 19th century. Today, pro wrestling has already included a mix of striking and grappling. If you want to see live pro wrestling events, countries such as Japan, Mexico, and the United States have lots to offer. Today, the World Wrestling Entertainment or WWE (based in the United States) has been leading the race among the professional wrestling companies in the world.
I shall discuss more about pro wrestling in the future.
The idea of having a day to honor all the fathers in the world started in Spokane, Washington. The idea came from Sonora Smart Dodd while she was listening to a Mother’s Day sermon back in 1909. Since her mother died, her father, William Jackson Smart took all the responsibilities of raising her. Because of this, Sonora wanted her father to know how special he is to her. The first Father’s Day Celebration was held on June 19, 1910 in Spokane Washington in honor of Sonora’s father whose birthday falls on the month of June.
We all know what an antioxidant is. Actually not everyone. Most people have a shallow understanding of the word antioxidant. All they know is that it is good for the body.
An antioxidant is actually a molecule that is capable of preventing oxidation of other molecules in our body. So what the heck is oxidation? Is it bad? Oxidation is basically a type of chemical reaction that produces free radicals. These free radicals cause damage to our cells by causing chain reactions.
The main task of antioxidants is to terminate the chain reactions through the removal of the free radicals.
Just a small bit of history. The term “antioxidant” was originally used to refer to a chemical that prevented oxygen consumption. Through extensive studies in the late 19th century and early 20th century, the significant benefits of antioxidants were emphasized.
Some of the best antioxidant sources are: blueberry, russet potato, small red bean, pinto bean, cranberry, raspberry and strawberry. Berry healthy!
If you have watched the Lost series (or still watching), this word may ring a bell. Remember Charlie? He was a member of the band Drive Shaft.
A driveshaft is a kind of mechanical device that is used to transfer power from a certain motor or engine where in an amount of significant work is applied. Today, automobiles use driveshafts to deliver power between the transmission and the wheels.
In automotive industry, there are three types of driveshafts. The 1-piece driveshaft, the 2-piece driveshaft, and the Slip in Tube driveshaft. The newest among the three is the Slip in Tube driveshaft which aids in Crash Energy Management.
Driveshafts are also used in motorcycles, bicycles and marine engines.
If you have been to a concert, a play or a ball, you probably have seen or even passed through a vomitorium. What is a vomitorium in formal and factual description? Well it is a passageway that is located under or behind a group of seats in an amphitheatre. This is used as an exit path for the audience at the end of the show/event. If this description seems a little vague to you, just check out the picture above.
Vomitoria are usually associated to the Ancient Rome but these structures still exist in our theatres today. Before I end this post, I would just like to emphasize that a vomitorium is not a vomit area where wasted people shed out their smelly omelet and sour liquors.
This seemingly useless word is a type of Dutch slang. It is specifically a cant language that started during the 17th century. This form of slang was commonly used by useless tramps, criminals and travelling salesmen. The Bargoen slang was mainly used as a secret code by these people.
In the latter part of the 19th century, the word “Bargoens” became a typical thieve’s cant. This lasted until the first half of the 20th century.
Bargoens has a lot of Yiddish loan words. This is because of the fact that the Jewish travelling salesmen have increased in number and these people were treated as outcasts.
So there you go. I hope you were able to pick some valuable facts from this post. I gotta go now, I still have to attend my Bargoens class later in the afternoon.
What is a fact? It is something that exists. A fact is something that can be actually verified or proven based on evaluations following established standards.

The word fact covers a very large variety of concepts or ideas.
