RE: jet set
In journalism, jet set is a term for an international social group of wealthy people who travel the world to participate in social activities unavailable to ordinary people. The term, which replaced café society, came from the lifestyle of travelling from one stylish or exotic place to another via jet plane.
The term jet set is attributed to Igor Cassini, a reporter for the New York Journal-American, who wrote under the pen name Cholly Knickerbocker.Jet passenger service in the 1950s was marketed primarily to the upper class, but its introduction eventually resulted in a substantial democratization of air travel. Although the term jet set can still be found in common parlance, its literal meaning of those who travel by jet is no longer applicable as such. -
RE: cosec
In mathematics, the trigonometric functions (also called circular functions, angle functions or goniometric functions) are real functions which relate an angle of a right-angled triangle to ratios of two side lengths. They are widely used in all sciences that are related to geometry, such as navigation, solid mechanics, celestial mechanics, geodesy, and many others. They are among the simplest periodic functions, and as such are also widely used for studying periodic phenomena through Fourier analysis.
The trigonometric functions most widely used in modern mathematics are the sine, the cosine, and the tangent. Their reciprocals are respectively the cosecant, the secant, and the cotangent, which are less used. Each of these six trigonometric functions has a corresponding inverse function, and an analog among the hyperbolic functions.
The oldest definitions of trigonometric functions, related to right-angle triangles, define them only for acute angles. To extend the sine and cosine functions to functions whose domain is the whole real line, geometrical definitions using the standard unit circle (i.e., a circle with radius 1 unit) are often used; then the domain of the other functions is the real line with some isolated points removed. Modern definitions express trigonometric functions as infinite series or as solutions of differential equations. This allows extending the domain of sine and cosine functions to the whole complex plane, and the domain of the other trigonometric functions to the complex plane with some isolated points removed. -

RE: brine shrimp
Brine shrimp are a type of aquatic crustacean that thrive in saline water. They are small, usually only a few millimeters in length, and are commonly used as food for fish and other aquarium dwellers. They are known for their exceptional ability to produce dormant eggs, known as cysts, which can remain viable for long periods and suddenly hatch when favorable conditions return. The most famous species is Artemia salina, commonly known as Sea Monkeys.

RE: xanthophyl
Xanthophyll is a type of yellow pigment found in certain types of plants, algae, and bacteria. It is a form of carotenoid, which gives fruits and vegetables their vibrant colors. Xanthophyll plays an essential role in photosynthesizing along with chlorophyll, absorbing light energy and preventing excessive light damage. It is also responsible for the yellow colors of autumn leaves and visible in the yellow of egg yolks.

RE: Tenderized
Tenderized refers to the process of making meat softer and easier to eat or cook through various methods such as pounding, marinating, or applying heat. This process helps break down the tough connective tissues in the meat, thus making it tender and more flavorful.

RE: family hydrophyllaceae
The family Hydrophyllaceae, commonly known as the waterleaf family, is a group of angiosperm plants typically characterized by hairy or sticky herbage, bell-shaped or funnel-shaped flowers, and alternate leaves. They are mostly native to North and South America, and consist of approximately 20 genera with about 300 known species. These plants may be annual or perennial herbs, as well as shrubs.
