# Airsoft

**Airsoft** is a competitive team shooting sport in which players use fake guns, usually replicas of real firearms, to eliminate opponents from play using spherical plastic projectiles, called BBs.

Airsoft is comparable to paintball, another sport that uses fake guns to battle. The main differences between the two sports are:

1. Projectiles from an Airsoft gun are plastic BBs, not paint, and do not break or leave a marker upon impact. Although, the solid projectiles can sometimes leave a small bruise or wound. Players use their own judgement to call themselves out. This system is based on honor, because people can cheat by not calling themselves out without the knowledge of other players. This has led to fights between players usually resulting in one repeatedly shooting a cheater, causing pain, until they call their hit.
2. Airsoft guns are more commonly replicas of real firearms, with Airsoft guns more commonly using magazines simulating the appearance of a real one (albeit functioning differently) opposed to a dropper used on paintball guns.
3. Airsoft guns are commonly powered by a battery or small disposable CO2 gas tanks, opposed to reusable tanks used in paintball.
4. Airsoft is arguably cheaper, Airsoft guns can cost as low as around $5, and BBs costing less than 2 cents per BB.

The appeal of Airsoft stems from real world battle tactics and gameplay styles. Some examples are short-term battles, organized scenarios, historical reenactments and Military Simulation. Game fields also have very different styles, from small indoor arenas to large fields.
# Portmanteau word

A **portmanteau word** (/pɔːrtˈmæntoʊ/ (listen)) is made of other words, or parts of words. It comes from putting two (or more) other words together, like *motel*, from *motor* and *hotel*.

## Origin

*Portmanteau* originally meant a type of suitcase with two separate parts for storage.
The first use as a word combination appeared in Lewis Carroll's book *Through the Looking-Glass*. There Humpty Dumpty explains that some of the unusual words in *Jabberwocky* are other words packed together into one word, as two parts of a portmanteau suitcase are packed together.

## Examples

*Portmanteau* itself is an example, combining the French words for carry (porter) and coat (manteau) into a coat carrier. *Wikipedia* is a portmanteau of wiki (Hawaiian for fast) and encyclopedia.

# Adyar River

Adyar River is one of the two rivers that flows in Chennai. It originates near the Chembarambakkam Lake, Kanchipuram district.The 42.5-kilometre (26.4 mi) long river contributes to the estuarine ecosystem of Chennai. Despite the high pollution levels, boating and fishing take place in this river. The river collects surplus water from about 200 tanks and lakes, small streams and the rainwater drains in the city, with a combined catchment area of 860 square kilometres (331 sq mi). Most of the waste from the city is drained into this river and the Cooum River.

Adyar river starts from Malaipattu tank near Manimangalam village in Sriperumbudur Taluk at about 15 kilometres (9 mi) west of Tambaram near Chennai. It starts to appear as a stream only from the point where water from Chembarambakkam lake joins the river. It flows through Kancheepuram, Tiruvallur and Chennai district for about 42.5 kilometres (26.4 mi) before joining the Bay of Bengal in Adyar, Chennai. Here it forms an estuary, which extends from the Adyar Bridge to the sandbar at the edge of the sea, with some small islets in-between. The estuary attracts a wide variety of birds. The estuary covering an area of about 120 hectares (300 acres) was made a protected wildlife reserve in 1987. The river forms a backwater near the mouth, known as the Adyar creek, due to the formation of sand bar at the mouth. This creek is a natural channel which carries tidal water back into the sea.

The river is almost stagnant except during the rain season. Rapid industrialisation and urbanisation has led to severe contamination of this river. However, the river gets just 10 per cent of the untreated sewage being let into the three principle waterways of Chennai daily, with the other two, namely, the Buckingham Canal and the Cooum River, taking the major share (60 per cent and 30 per cent, respectively).
The problem of sedimentation was not severe as the Adyar's width near Thiru.Vi.Ka. Bridge is nearly 480 metres (1,570 ft) that enabled tidal effect into the waterway for about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi). However, it was essential to provide groynes to keep the river mouth open for adequate width and prevent inundation during monsoon. In 2011, the Water Resources Department (WRD) proposed to construct groynes to reduce formation of sand bars near the mouth the river.In 2012, the state government allotted ₹ 3,000 million towards construction of 337 sewage cleaning systems in the waterways in the city, including 49 locations in the Adyar river. Others include 105 points in Cooum river and 183 locations in the Buckingham Canal.

# Sic

Sic is a Latin word meaning "thus", "so", "as such", or "in such a manner". In writing, it is put in square brackets and italic type – [*sic*] – to show that any incorrect or unusual spelling, phrases, punctuation, or other quoted material have been copied verbatim (word for word) from its original source.

At first, it was said like the English word "seek" (IPA /'sik/); however, it is normally said like the English word "sick" (/'sɪk/).

## Usage

The word *sic* may be used to show that an uncommon or old usage is written faithfully: for instance, quoting the U.S. Constitution:

"The House of Representatives shall chuse [*sic*] their Speaker..."
It is often used, though, to highlight an error, sometimes to ridicule, such as here in *The Times*:

Warehouse has been around for 30 years and has 263 stores, suggesting a large fan base. The chain sums up its appeal thus: "styley [*sic*], confident, sexy, glamorous, edgy, clean and individual, with it's [*sic*] finger on the fashion pulse."
Sometimes, *sic* is said to be an abbreviation for "said in context", "spelled in context", "said in copy", and other phrases. While incorrect, this still gives the same meaning when used.

# Karaoke

**Karaoke** is music-only (no singing) performance. It originated in Okayama Prefecture, Japan, and was originally used by professional singers to practice before recording. It is also called a **backing track**. Since the 1970s, they have been sold for general use. In the mid-1980s, the popularity of laser discs broke out and became a big hit.
