2008-03-04 07:06:00 Publisher: Routledge; 1 edition (December 22, 2005)Language: EnglishISBN-10: 0415258375Swearing is an everyday part of the language of most speakers of modern English. This corpus informed account of swearing describes swearing and also outlines its social function, with a particular focus on the relationship between swearing and abuse. A major theme of the book is the extension and application of corpus linguistics in the context of relevant analytical and theoretical models from linguistics, psychology and sociology.

The concept of habeas corpus is a fundamental part of the British legal system. the first mention of habeas corpus was in 1305, to the reign of England’s King Edward I. Habeas corpus is a writ, or written court order, that requires a person held by the authorities to be brought before the courts so the legality of their detention can be examined.In America, the main principles were adopted in the US Constitution. (Habeas Corpus Act 1679) Article 1, Section 9, Clause 2Habeas Corpus Act31 Car. 2, c. 2 , 27 May 1679Whereas great delays have been used by sheriffs, gaolers and other officers, to whose custody any of the King's subjects have been committed for criminal or supposed criminal matters, in making returns of writs of habeas co...

This is s sure fire way to boost activity in the central business district, and what geek wouldn’t prefer a connected beach to sun on?

City officials said the free Wi-Fi connections offer an easy way to connect to the Internet that puts Corpus Christi technologically ahead of the rest. “We wanted to stay in areas that were public areas,” said Michael Armstrong, director of municipal information services. “Those tend to have varying community values.” Cole park regulars heard about the free wireless Internet access for the first time Monday afternoon.

Fact-Checking Richard Dawkins [The Corpus Callosum]
2007-12-02 02:37:00 In the book, The Blind Watchmaker, Richard Dawkins makes a statement that led one reader to feel the need to check up on him: I’ve been reading through Richard Dawkins’ books and am currently half way through The Blind Watchmaker (2006 paperback edition) and on page 119 he writes: In my computer’s ROM, location numbers 64489, 64490 and 64491, taken together, contain a particular pattern of contents—1s and 0s which—when interpreted as instructions, result in the computer’s little loudspeaker uttering a blip sound. This bit pattern is 10101101 00110000 11000000. Of course, this piqued my curiosity. Did Dawkins just make that up, or is this really the contents of a specific bit of memory on a specific computer? The original post is here. The book was published in 1986, back in the days when regular folks still knew how to skin pigs, change their spark plugs, and check the contents of specific ROM addresses. &...

Epigenetic Transmission of Biomarkers for PTSD? [The Corpus Callosum]
2007-11-30 08:08:00 A great deal of evidence has accumulated that there is a problem with regulation of cortisol levels in persons with posttraumatic stress disorder. Several years ago, it was demonstrated that adult offspring of persons with PTSD had lower circulating cortisol than others, and it appeared that the lower cortisol was a risk factor for the development of PTSD. Now, it has been shown that, at least in some persons, lower cortisol levels can be seen in infant offspring of patients with PTSD.

2007-11-11 08:17:00 Hi I have read yr new post. It is a good job. I encourage you. I have been working on that one too for more than 3 yrs. So right now, we have 8 lakhs words in inflected forms. Our words in Wininnwa ascii. U know that it can be easily transformed to Unicode as and when required. Our words are generated from the available internet sources and pdf. We can say it is general word lists across different domains (medicine,computer science ...) . Our assumption is that myanmar words are made up of 1 or more syllables. We have just built up syllable collocations (in computer terms , it is called N-grams). ??? (1gram)? ????? (2grams)? ???????? (3grams). So in this way, if you know that domains, you can generate words easily. As I have said that words are generated, we have to put efforts on finding valid words. But that task doesn't need high education for some domains. That manual checking also can be reduced if you use machine l...

Corpus Christi - Texas
2007-10-29 19:08:00 Location : Gulf Of Mexico - 24 06 N, 089 26 W, I have been off the blog for the last few days and the reason for that was that we were in the port of Corpus Christi, Texas. Though its not a port you hear of often, it did rank as the sixth busiest port in USA. As the outbound pilot explained to me,the ranking is done on the basis of the deadweight handled by the port. Corpus christi, with more then 42 feet of water is one of the deepest ports in the US and thus handles bigger ships and so manages to climb up on the charts. But regardless of the number of ships that the port might handle, my berth could not have handled too many ships. It took us almost five days to load a cargo of about 37,000 MT. The picture above shows the jettey where we were tied up for the duration of the stay.
