DEFINING OPINIONS, sextet #2

This post represents a continuation of material from our first emanation on this topic, "OEDILFian Celebration: DEFINING OPINIONS", sextet #1 (July 15, 2020).

(sextet#1)
academically, birdlife, boring, crepuscular, cruddy, decompose. 

   

CURRENT CONTENTS (#2):
Diaphoretic

Envision

Expertise

Fester

Hamuli

Haunch

(for continuation, see the link below)

Authors' Note: "Self-assembly" affordable and transportable furniture is the basis of success for Ikea , a successful Swedish marketer. The stability of their sewing tables is remarkable, assuming you can get all the fasteners placed correctly.

Authors' Note: Norm's take on his employability would at some past point be thought to smack of self-aggrandizement or worse, but appears in our day to have been normalized.

Authors' Note:

hamulus: (Latin) a little hook, plural = hamuli, with biologic implications discussed at OEDILF in a verse by Snowy Owl. Also, the hamate bone of the human wrist, bearing a prominent hook-like extension is a relatively frequent site of human fractures, as in a verse by your blogging team (see link below).

Remus: one of Rome's mythological founding twin infants, most often pronounced in anglo-Latin as REE-mus, but here, invoking more classic Latin, as RAY-mus.

Not before we need it: PLANET-SAVING VERSE #1

CURRENT CONTENTS:
Beach foam
'Clean' coal
Compostables
Coy koi (introduced species)
Drought
Enzootic ending
Fur-farming
Invasive species

(for continuation, see the link below)

Authors' Note:  Although the name of their proposed charity seems cumbersome, I found it intriguing that the plankton could get it together to solicit funds to clean up our seas. When I received this request, I pledged immediately, and I hope that you do the same.

Authors' Note: In the polarized United States, the term denier, sometimes specified as science denier or climate-change denier, is taken to mean a person who denies either the existence or human causation of global warming.

Another discussion of clean coal can be found in an OEDILF verse by contributing editor Dr. Work:

We are led to believe that clean coal

Should be sought as a practical goal:

To store carbon dioxide

Deep under the dockside

Or pumped very deep down a hole.

Authors' Note: The Amur carp, Cyprinus rubrofuscus, is a long-lived freshwater fish native to extensive areas of Eastern Asia. Centered in the Niigata prefecture of Japan, breeders have taken advantage since 1820 of genetic variability in the color of fish-scales to produce variants in a variety of remarkable decorative colors that may be further enhanced by selection and cross-breeding. Nishikigoi ('brocaded carp'), less formally referred to as koi ('carp'), have been recently pursued further as a hobby and as a commercial interest in various Asian countries.

On every continent, koi populations have 'escaped' and become established as invasive intruders in freshwater ponds and streams (where their color eventually reverts to that of undomesticated Amur carp). As koi characteristically alter the environment, increasing the turbidity of freshwater bodies, native species have been displaced.

Authors' Note: Pretty much a true story. 

Authors' Note:  Having suffered the ravages of Covid-19, has humanity's ability to cope with outbreaks of infectious disease improved? Not too much. This pessimistic verse was written after seeing a TV documentary revealing updates on what we have learned about the potential threats of further epidemics.
