Cosmoport 

From the Greek word 'κοσμος, meaning ‘universe’ or 'world,' and from the second part of the word ‘passport’.

As Director of the Center for Global Studies at Morgan State University for ten years, I ( Zekeh Gbotokuma) founded and edited a newsletter that I called COSMOPORT.

I coined this neologism in 2000. It is based on my philosophy of international education called 'cosmoportism.' It is the belief that international education is the 21st-Century’s passport and global positioning system (GPS), so to speak, to comfortably navigate the global village. It is the key to global competitiveness. Therefore, nobody should be allowed to graduate from any university today without becoming globally competent. See 'Cosmoportism.'

Cosmopolitan magazine

also known by some by "Cosmo" and "women's Bible"

magazine for the 18-35 mostly Caucasian female population, though teens and pre-teens read it as well.

teaches virtues and life lessons like "90 ways to please your man" and "How to make men want you."

can be incredibly funny, ridiculous or offensive depending on one's perspective.

has single-handedly set a particular type of woman back many years, defining women solely by their relationships with men.
I didn't renew my Cosmopolitan magazine subscription because the message it sends is horrible.

I read Cosmopolitan magazine every month. It's the only reading I do. Because of Cosmo, I can now give amazing blow jobs and dress to impress men.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
