Forthose interested in a little info about this site: it's a side project that I developed while working on Describing Words and Related Words. Both of those projects are based around words, but have much grander goals. I had an idea for a website that simply explains the word types of the words that you search for - just like a dictionary, but focussed on the part of speech of the words. And since I already had a lot of the infrastructure in place from the other two sites, I figured it wouldn't be too much more work to get this up and running.

The dictionary is based on the amazing Wiktionary project by wikimedia. I initially started with WordNet, but then realised that it was missing many types of words/lemma (determiners, pronouns, abbreviations, and many more). This caused me to investigate the 1913 edition of Websters Dictionary - which is now in the public domain. However, after a day's work wrangling it into a database I realised that there were far too many errors (especially with the part-of-speech tagging) for it to be viable for Word Type.


Finally, I went back to Wiktionary - which I already knew about, but had been avoiding because it's not properly structured for parsing. That's when I stumbled across the UBY project - an amazing project which needs more recognition. The researchers have parsed the whole of Wiktionary and other sources, and compiled everything into a single unified resource. I simply extracted the Wiktionary entries and threw them into this interface! So it took a little more work than expected, but I'm happy I kept at it after the first couple of blunders.


Currently, this is based on a version of wiktionary which is a few years old. I plan to update it to a newer version soon and that update should bring in a bunch of new word senses for many words (or more accurately, lemma).


In the attached document the black bordered OLE object (LO Draw) has the word testt in it, but the OLE object seems to obscure underlying text. Is it possible to have the underlying text visible through transparent section of the OLE object?


What you want is not the full embedded document where you insert it, but some of the shapes you have drawn. Transparency do not apply to embedded documents, only drawing objects or frames. Document embedding hides the objects it contains.


PS: I gave a careful look at your document. Its structure is a mess. You have 14 frames with text (some of which nested inside another one) in 2 pages. You seem to position the frames with empty paragraphs (the same techique is used inside the frames), which is nonsense (not to speak of horizontal positioning with tab characters plus spaces) and will defeat any attempt to format the doc in a smart way.


If your document must adhere to some predefined format where the page is the primary focus, not text (this is the case for ad flyer or sale documents), then you should try Impress (but not easy) or Draw speaking about the LibreOffice suite at your disposal or go with Scribus, a libre desktop publishing application which puts it emphasis on page and blocks within pages. Writer focuses on managing a text flow which automatically spans as many pages as needed.


MGMT 52200 - New Product Development Credit Hours: 2.00. The course covers new product development issues including idea generation, concept testing, prototype development, patent protection, and product launch.

AD 52200 - Interaction Design EvaluationCredit Hours: 3.00. This course builds a foundation for interaction designers to conduct evaluation research. Students start from analyzing evaluation cases on interactive designs and systems to employing evaluation in design projects using quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods of inquiry. Typically offered Spring.


Mount collectors seem to be unanimously in favor of the change from Marks to honor for purchasing PvP mounts. And I can see why. The convenience of not having to run specific battlegrounds outweighs the honor math, and to be honest, all math before 3.3.3 likely needs to be thrown out, anyways.


Things get a little trickier discussing honor when we move away from the endgame, mostly because each bracket offers substantially different levels of honor rewards. Where the gear scales with bracket, this works out fine. If you get 200 honor per match, buying a sword for 600 honor is a fine value and you should definitely consider it.


Rewards that are useful beyond a bracket, though, are probably more inaccessible now than they were before. If you get 200 honor per match, a 50k Mount is now 62.5 hours of PvP time instead of 8.812 hours.


80 paladin: Queue up for random of the day, get WSG. In and out in The low level PvP rewards are an absolute steal now. I just fitted out my level 49 warrior with seven PvP items. They cost a total of less than 3000 honor, which was obtained from two Wintergrasp commendations (which are BoA). Anyone with a level 80 character can fit out their low level alts with PvP gear almost trivially, even if said alts never enter a single battleground.


I wonder how this era of plenty will affect the questions we ask. One of the reasons your HPM calcs were so important before was because of how scarce honor was; even small differences had statistical weight and real-world consequences. Now it becomes one of randomness versus selectivity: are there any bgs so good, or so bad, that doing or avoiding them outweighs the random smoothing effect and bonus.


Otherwise, all 3 sentences make perfect sense, but A is the least likely to be used. The reason is that, as such, it is ambiguous. After all, the next sentence could be, "Unfortunately, the bloody thing was broken, and I sweated all the way."


This is fine- although there should be a hyphen between "air" and 'conditioning". Although most people and general spelling and written usage does not put one there, it is standard to do so based on the parts-of-speech of both words. The industry trade association for air-conditioning uses a hyphen too.


In addition to being mindful of verb tense [ride/rode/riding/ridden] and articles [a/an/the], you may also consider the preposition that you use. In general usage, you are more likely to use "on a bus" rather than "in a bus". However there are instances where "in" is more appropriate or when both in and on are both appropriate and interchangeable.


A Google search of tribalism in America returns 664,000 results with headlines like "The New Tribalism and the Decline of the Nation State" and "Can Our Democracy Survive Tribalism?" Recently, a bounty of new books has arrived with titles like: Political Tribes: Group Instinct and the Fate of Nations and Us Against Them: How Tribalism Affects the Way We Think.


You've probably noticed the word appearing more and more often in media communications and personal conversations. In fact, University of California at Berkeley linguistics professor Geoff Nunberg made "tribalism" his choice for 2017 word of the year. "Tribalism" has become the current go-to word when trying to make sense of the increased groupishness in beliefs. This trend is demonstrated by our current scurry to ally with groups, signal our affiliation by forwarding news, gossip and anecdotes that arouse head nods, "likes" and, in some quarters, an occasional "amen."


Venues for our "affinity groups" (a more social-sciency term than tribe) can range from the traditional club or local tavern to contemporary meetups on Facebook, Twitter and in the suburbs of subreddits. A search for the words "tribalism" and "polarization" appearing together yields 52,200 hits, so it becomes important to explore the connection between these two current phenomena.


First, I'd like to add the disclaimer that I in no way mean the use of the word tribe to imply any disrespect for the common use of the word as distinguishing one group of indigenous peoples from another. The word has a long history coming from the Latin "tribus," denoting one of the three political/ethnic divisions of the original Roman state. Wikipedia clarifies the dual use of the word "tribe" by saying, "The word 'tribe' can be defined to mean an extended kin group or clan with a common ancestor, or can also be described as a group with shared interests, lifestyles and habits."


Tribalism is rooted in our evolutionary biology and evolutionary psychology, in tandem with our cultural coevolution and, by fostering cooperation in achieving common goals, is no doubt a principle driver of the success of Homo sapiens. But while tribalism nurtures in-group solidarity, it can also lead to competition and conflict between groups.


For example, our biological evolution has given us and other mammals receptors in various parts of the brain for the hormone oxytocin, best known for increasing maternal behavior. According to Robert Sapolsky, author of the recent book Behave-Biology of Humans at our Best and Worst, the molecule also "makes you more prosocial to people like you (i.e. your teammates) but spontaneously lousy to others who are a threat." And as some authors have pointed out, while tribalism may have served us well in our early history when our problem-solving related to simpler and more local issues, it can in these more complex times impede our progress in meeting the global challenges that now face us.


In his sketch-book video "The Dangers of Tribalism," philosopher and podcaster Kevin deLaplante, founder of the Critical Thinker Academy, defines polarization as "a measure of the magnitude of differences between groups." He goes on to say, "Now there's an obvious dark side to polarization. It's not hard to see how increasing polarization in our tribal psychology can lead to serious social and political problems and a distorted perception of the world."
