Judge Michelle Odinet in Louisiana Asks For 'Forgiveness' After Video Shows Repeated Use Of N-Word In Her Home
by Josephine Harvey
Lafayette City Court Judge Michelle Odinet in Louisiana claimed she had taken a sedative at the time and had no recollection of the video.
Judge Michelle Odinet
12/14/2021 09:55pm ESTA judge in Louisiana, Michelle Odinet, has asked for "forgiveness and understanding" after a video surfaced capturing a series of racist remarks as her family gathered to watch security footage of an attempted burglary at their home.
A Black man was reportedly arrested in connection with the burglary at the Lafayette City Court judge's home in Bendel Gardens over the weekend. A video that circulated after the incident appeared to show members of her family joking and using the N-word to recap the burglary while they watched the security footage. Odinet, who has four children, confirmed to local news site The Current that the footage was from her home. It's unclear who shot it, who exactly is using the language and who sent it to several members of the local media.
The site also published the video, which contains disturbing and explicit language amid joking and laughter.
At one point, a voice is heard saying, "And mom's yelling n****r, n****r," to which a woman's voice answered: "We have a n****r. It's a n****r, like a roach." more
REST IN PEACE: Robbie Shakespeare of Sly and Robbie fame has died at 68 y-o
Robbie Shakespeare, one half of the powerhouse rhythm duo of Sly and Robbie, has died.
A close associate confirmed his passing to The Gleaner a short while ago.
Shakespeare had reportedly been ailing for some time and had undergone surgery related to his kidneys. He was living overseas and was in hospital in Florida.
In July last year, he placed at Number 17 on 'The 50 Greatest Bassists of All Time list', compiled by the prestigious Rolling Stone magazine. When The Gleaner reached out to the Grammy award-winning bassist at the time, he said he was humbled by the recognition,

"Bwoy, I appreciate the fact that others looking in can see what we are doing for the music. This makes me feel like a baby." The A-lister, whose fingers have lovingly stroked the chords on many hit songs for artistes, including Gwen Guthrie, Grace Jones, Dennis Brown, Gregory Isaacs, Bob Dylan and Peter Tosh, spoke passionately of the value of hard work while subtly throwing shade at the 'entitlement' culture.
"No matter how much people hail Sly and Robbie as the legends, and despite two Grammy wins and 11 nominations, we never ever feel like anything we get in life, we must get it. There have been a lot of sleepless nights and 'eatless' nights, too. Nuff time we go to bed hungry, so we remember these things and take stock. There are so many other great bassists out there who they could have chosen, and yet they chose me, and I am grateful," Robbie Shakespeare told The Gleaner.
ST ELIZABETH, Jamaica : Slain basic school teacher, Chanel Smith remembered as humble, quiet and much-loved
Chanel Smith
ST ELIZABETH, Jamaica – Teachers at the Sandy Bank
primary and basic schools in Treasure Beach, St Elizabeth, believe they have been robbed following the killing of one of their colleagues Tuesday morning.
Chanel Smith, who at the time of her death worked at the basic school but taught at the primary school prior to that, was shot dead by gunmen near the school gate.
"This is an angel that they took away from us," one teacher told OBSERVER ONLINE. "She was molding the children helping them to achieve their dreams and look what they did."
The teacher described Smith as someone who was very humble and quiet. "I've never heard her raise her voice yet," she recalled. "When she started we were wondering if she was in the right field. When she spoke, you could hardly hear her."
She said Smith got better at her craft overtime until she became one of the most-loved teachers at the institution. Police reported that shortly before 8 am, Smith was about to enter the school when one of two men, who were near the gate pretending to fix a motorcycle, pulled a gun and shot her several times. She was rushed to hospital where she died.
The Pedro Plains police are asking anyone with information regarding the killing to contact any police station.

Denis Brunetti, president of Ericsson Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos
Ericsson has been named a leader in the 2022 'Magic Quadrant for 5G Network Infrastructure for Communications Service Providers' report by Gartner. As per the report published last month, Ericsson is recognised for its ability to execute, and was also named a leader in the corresponding 2021 report – the first time Gartner conducted a 5G infrastructure report for communication service providers.
Vendors offering 5G solutions were comprehensively and independently assessed and evaluated by Gartner's experts on their completeness of vision and ability to execute, to provide a market snapshot on 5G infrastructure abilities.

Giulio Superti-Furga has been appointed Member of the Scientific Council of the ERC
– People of the MedUni Vienna
(Wien, 17-01-2017) Giulio Superti-Furga, Scientific Director of CeMM Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and Professor for Medical Systems Biology of the Medical University of Vienna has been appointed Member of the Scientific Council of the ERC, on the 10th anniversary of its existence, for a function period of 4 years.
The European Research Council is the most important and prestigious funding institution for basic research in any field conducted within the European Union. Excellence is the sole criterion for selection; there are neither thematic priorities, nor geographical or other quotas for funding. Perhaps the most important funding programme of the ERC is the ERC Starting Independent Research Grant, promoting early scientific independence of promising talents with 2 million Euros over a period of 5 years. It has created a very positive impact on the attractiveness of Europe as research area. But the ERC has also other programmes, such as the ERC Advanced Investigator Grant, which fosters innovation carried out by established scientists with a proven scientific track record of excellence. Having been awarded two ERC Advanced Investigator Grants over the years and two ERC Proof-of-Concept Grants, to explore the application potential of research ideas, Giulio Superti-Furga, who also acted as ERC panel member in the past, knows the ERC well and is well suited to offer his experience to the organization that this year celebrates its 10th anniversary.
The ERC is governed by the Scientific Council, consisting of eminent European scientists and scholars including Nobel Prize laureates. Members are nominated by an independent search committee and appointed by the European Commission. Since 2014 Professor Jean-Pierre Bourguignon, a renowned French mathematician, is President of the European Research Council. From 2010 to 2013 Professor Helga Nowotny, a Viennese Professor of Social Studies of Science held this prestigious position. She was also a founding member of the ERC in 2007. In 2017 the European Research Council is celebrating its 10th anniversary.
The ERC Scientific Council acts on behalf of the scientific community in Europe to promote creativity and innovative research. Giulio Superti-Furga: "It is a great honor to accept this important responsibility, which has had a tremendously positive impact on basic research in Europe. My aspiration is to contribute to a more science and innovation-friendly climate in Europe by promoting excellence in research and ensuring that politicians protect and promote the ERC as the most successful research funding scheme of the EU. Results from basic research accompany us at every step and should therefore become a core theme in everyday life - in education, in the media and in public discussions. Society and politics must have the courage to invest in new projects, to keep pace with scientific developments and associated implications. It is important to understand science as a fundamental component of our culture and of our future and a motor for innovation and competiveness also for the European industry."

Phnom Penh Court Issues Arrest Warrant Against Small Party Members for Incitement and Insult

The court issued arrest warrants for Heang Kimsroeun, the vice president of Khmer United Great Nation Party, and another party official, Thol Sophana, on charges of incitement and insult.
The Phnom Penh Municipal Court on Monday ordered the arrest of two minor party members for allegedly for incitement and insult against another minor party president, Pich Sros, in a complaint dating back to October 2019.
The court issued arrest warrants on April 20 for Heang Kimsroeun, the vice president of Khmer United Great Nation Party, and another party official, Thol Sophana, on the preliminary charges of incitement and insult. A police report linked to the arrest warrants suggests the duos recent whereabouts were unknown.
"According to the report on April 10, 2020, of the Toul Kork Administration Police Chief, the persons identified above have been identified as committing incitement to commit a felony and insult," read the arrest warrant.
The Khmer United Great Nation Party was founded by Nhem Vanthorn, former secretary-general of Beehive Social Democratic Party, 2016 but did not contest the 2017 and 2018 elections. Nhem Vanthorn could not be contacted for this story.
Pich Sros, president of the Cambodian Youth Party and a member of the Supreme Council for Consultation and Recommendations, said on Tuesday that he filed complaints against these two in October 2019.
He accused the two men of insulting him and other members of the advisory council about his requesting the head of the National Authority for Border Affairs, Va Kimhong, for comment on the signing of the Cambodia-Vietnam border demarcation treaty.
"Heang Kimsroeun insulted, as well as confused the public into losing confidence in the Supreme Council for Consultation and Recommendations members, including me," he said. "And this action is hard to accept."

According to evidence submitted by Pich Sros, Hean Kimsroeun allegedly called the advisory group of being a puppet and not having any positive impact on the country, in a Facebook post. Whereas, Thol Sophana took to social media to accuse Pich Sros of working for the ruling Cambodian People's Party.
Soeung Senkaruna, senior investigator at rights group ADHOC, said that the posts of the two Khmer United Great Nation Party officials were a mere expression of their opinions and criticism in their role as political party activists.
"[They] expressed that as political activists. They can look at the actions of public officials or other political parties who are doing something wrong. So, they have the right to criticize," said the ADHOC spokesperson
Pich Sros has previously sued activist monk But Buntenh, independent media advocate Pa Nguon Teang, and labor rights activist Moeun Tola for allegedly mishandling funeral funds collected for slain political commentator Kem Ley.
He was also responsible for filing a complaint to the Ministry of Interior that was used as a pretext to dissolve the Cambodia National Rescue Party in late 2017.
VOA could not reach Phnom Penh Municipal Court spokespersons, Y Rin and Kuch Kimlong, for comment on Tuesday.

Coronavirus eating away restaurant business
It started from the second week of this month. At first, Md Mahbub Zaman, the owner of Genial Buffet in the capital's Dhanmondi, thought the cancellations for party bookings were coincidental.
But soon it dawned on him that there was a common thread: the looming fear of coronavirus.
"At first, people would cite personal reasons when cancelling the booking. But now, they are upfront: it is because of coronavirus," Zaman told The Daily Star while sat in his sparsely-populated sprawling restaurant on Monday night.
In Bangladesh, the first reported case of coronavirus was on March 8. And since then, more than 15 reservations for parties, ranging from 20 to 120 people, have been cancelled.
Not only that, customer footfall in the restaurant that has an all-you-can-eat offer of 55 items for Tk 600 dried up to less than half of what it was in February.
"Fridays are always a good day for us. But last Friday was a gloomy day for us. If this goes on like this for a few more weeks, I don't know how I will pay the rent and staff salary," he added.
Zaman's predicament is not unique. Globally, with the view to flattening the curve of coronavirus, social distancing and avoiding public places have been advised, leaving the service industry staring at an increasingly complicated business reality.
Shumie Ali, a student in a public university, and her coterie of friends took the advice of staying in to heart.
She catches up over lunch in different restaurants in capital's Gulshan with her school friends every Saturday. But since the news broke of coronavirus in Bangladesh, their weekly ritual has been scrapped.
"I was not too keen on hitting the restaurants. Instead, I suggested we order in and watch a film on Netflix. We should all do our part to flatten the curve," Ali said.
And many are doing the same as her.
HungryNaki, the country's first food delivery platform with presence in Dhaka, Chattogram, Narayanganj, Sylhet and Cox's Bazar, said its orders rose 30 to 40 per cent since coronavirus fears started to emanate.
"Our orders just picked up," said AD Ahmad, chief executive and co-founder of the food delivery platform.
However, as the people are increasingly staying home to be safe, they are also relying on home-made food as well, he said, adding that HungryNaki also beefed up personal hygiene practices and put in places masks and hand sanitisers for its workforce.
"People will not leave homes," said Maliha M Quadir, founder and managing director of Shohoz.com, whose arm Shohoz Food delivers food from 5,000 restaurants in Dhaka and 1,000 in Chattogram.
At the same time, they may feel fearful about the hygiene of the delivery system whether the restaurants or deliverymen are maintaining enough hygiene, she said, adding that since the maiden cases of coronavirus were announced, Shohoz has put in place in stricter measures for its office, depots as well as delivery personnel.
In a bid to flatten the curve, New York's Mayor Bill de Blasio's office announced that from yesterday the city's thousands of bars and restaurants will be closed, with any service limited to food delivery and takeout only.
If a similar measure is enforced in Dhaka, it might be a boon for the food delivery platforms.
But for the wait staff it is bad news.
The employees of Flavours, a restaurant that serves Thai and Chinese cuisines in the capital's Dhanmondi, told the correspondent they are on the brink of losing their jobs.
"See, there is no customer," said Rana, a waiter pointing at the empty space on Rangs KB Square.
The 13-storied building on the capital's Satmasjid Road houses about 20 restaurants, making it a hotspot for Dhanmondi food lovers. But the entire building wore a deserted look.
"We have been facing a tough time since the first week of March," said Alamgir Islam of Tao Town, an Asian fusion bistro in Rangs KB Square.
Since Friday, Tao Town's sales plunged 80 per cent.
And Islam envisions dire days ahead, once all universities, schools and colleges shut for two weeks from today.
"In January and February, when coronavirus was spreading around the world, our sales held up well," said Md Nahim Reza, managing director of Coffelicious, which has two outposts on Baily Road and in Uttara.
But from March, customer footfall started petering out, with its sales as tumbling 30 per cent from the previous month.
The Monarchy Coffee on Banani 11 saw a huge decline in its sales too, said Naziur Rahman, an employee of the café.
"For the last three weeks, we have been facing a dire situation. We are maintaining proper hygiene and took protective measures for coronavirus. But people are still staying away," he added.
All the restaurants The Daily Star contacted said they have taken precautionary measures to contain the virus.
The restaurants at upmarket hotels too have been deserted by customers, despite their heightened measures against the contagion of the novel virus.
"We have taken some serious measures to ensure hygiene since the outbreak of virus," said Mashfa Alam, marketing coordinator at Four Points by Sheraton.
At the entry of the hotel, each customer is examined by infrared thermometer guns. "The food is also being served directly by our chefs for avoiding extra touches of spoons," she added.
And yet, customers are staying away.
So, most have discontinued their buffet offerings and have pared down their menu to the bare essentials.

HAUNTED HOUSE PART II: more tunes to make you shake (in both fear and rhythmic fashion)
Home/Nerdery Publications/HAUNTED HOUSE PART II: more tunes to make you shake (in both fear and rhythmic fashion)
By Axel Karetna|2015-10-11T10:43:21-04:00October 13th, 2015|Nerdery Publications|0 Comments
Halloween's coming up, so I figure you might need some tunes to pump up your party. Check these bad boys out.
Lazer Lazer Lazer & Helix High – Mr. Crackspider
If you like Knife Party you're gonna love this. Lazer Lazer Lazer (aka Maor Levi) and Helix High (aka Bruce Karlsson of Norin & Rad) team up for this one that starts with a bang and never lets up. In very Knife Party fashion, this song is built around a clip from a nature video (though a silly one), which lures you in before punching you in the fucking FACE.
Le Castle Vania & Addison – I Want You
LCV's been blowing the hell up lately, what with scoring a spot on Warped Tour 2015 and also doing some of the score for John Wick. Doesn't stop him from giving things away for free, though. "I Want You" is his collaboration with producer Addison and it is not for the faint of heart. Starting out with a collection of assorted noises, it takes a break to build up before hitting with a tornado of buzzing bass and off-key orchestra stabs. And we all know it's the perfect month for stabs.
Dyro – WOLV
Join the WOLVpack.
There's a superhero screenplay I'm working on, and in that screenplay there's a horrifying drug trip nightmare. This song is the soundtrack to that nightmare. A high-energy offering from the Netherlands' own Dyro, "WOLV" is a whirlwind of stomping drums and abrasive bass with a surprisingly catchy little guitar riff. Hold on tight. (There's also a sick alternate edit of this by Conro you can get for free.)
Knife Party – EDM Death Machine
It just ain't a scary song list without some Knife Party. Kicking off with a monologue playing puns on popular EDM hits of the time (this song came out a loooong time ago in 2013), Rob and Gareth finally remind us that the human race doesn't have much time left before the machines take over. And then that noise the duo is famous for finally kicks in and you stop really minding if the machines take over or not. It's that good.
EDM stands for "EDM Death Machine." In which EDM stands for "EDM Death Machine."
BURNS – When I'm Around U
This one isn't all that scary in subject matter, but when you listen to it, it is one hell of a menace. The UK's Matt Burns has been doing his thing for some time, but never this loud. I don't even know how to describe it – there's a verse, then it builds up, and then sounds that sound like they've clawed their way out of the very depths of hell itself to come party on Earth start assaulting your ears. Okay, apparently I do know how to describe it. Ĺ͢è̢t̨'̢͞s r̴͘͞a͜gę̢ ̀͘o̷͡n̢͜.͜͞

Rich Learning
The journey to personal success lies at the heart of a JSRACS education. From the early years, we endeavour to create opportunities to inspire all students to be architects of their own learning and define their own success.
We understand that students experience personal success in many ways. Working with our students, we endeavour to uncover their individual talents, passions and strengths. Our students are motivated by a team of passionate staff who recognise their strengths and are committed to supporting their growth.
To provide as many opportunities for students to shine, JSRACS ensures specialist teachers for Music, Art, Dance, Drama, Languages Sport and Diverse Learning Programs from Kindergarten through to Year 12.

Performing Arts & Drama
The JSRACS Basketball Program provides both male and female student athletes with an opportunity to improve their individual skill sets, speed, agility and game play to help accelerate their journey to becoming an elite player.
There are a number of opportunities to display their individual growth as a player through North West Associated Schools (NWAS) and Associated Catholic Colleges (ACC) representation and various other tournaments throughout the year. Student athletes will also have an opportunity to represent JSRACS in tournaments Australia wide and potentially internationally as we continue to develop the program. This exposure will provide our players with opportunities to recognise their dreams and goals in the game of Basketball.
There are three types of a cadets groups offered at John Septimus Roe Anglican Community School, the River Rangers, Bush Rangers and Emergency Service Cadets. Our Cadets meet Monday afternoons during the school term from 3.45pm – 5.30pm on the Mirrabooka Campus and there is no additional cost to parents.
Drama is an integral part of the JSRACS Co-Curricular Programs, catering for singers, actors and backstage technicians from Primary School through to Year 12. Our aim is to fully develop a student's talents and skills, by encouraging each student to take part in the preparation and performance of School productions.
The program is designed to enrich, extend, develop confidence and accelerate your child's learning. Performance is a key component of the program and your child will have the opportunity to perform in front of a variety of audiences, including in our much anticipated annual Drama and Musical productions and the annual Interhouse Theatre sports competition.
The JSRACS Music Department offers a wide range of musical experiences for every child from Year 2 through to Year 12. Our aim is to be inclusive of all students and to provide enriching and exciting musical experiences.
There are a number of ensembles at the school led by a dedicated and experienced music staff who rehearse each group for the busy calendar of concerts that occur throughout the year. Our concerts are held at the School, throughout Perth and overseas.
Dance is celebrated at JSRACS through a variety of performance based experiences catering for all ages and levels. The cocurricular program provides each student with the opportunity to progress in their technique, develop confidence and enrich and enhance creativity.
Within the program students also have the opportunity to get to know like-minded peers and develop new friendships through the various clubs on offer.

Referencing the existence of words that may be offensive
I left a comment on this answer in which I made a reference to a word that many people find offensive (although I didn't use or even mention the word itself). I referenced the word because it was an example of the type of word that the question was asking about: insults ending in -er.
Another user took me to task, scolding me for referencing an offensive word.
I think this is absurd. Does this user really expect us to pretend offensive words don't exist? Is that really a reasonable way forward? This is what I imagine the policy someone who was offended by my comment might propose:
Discussion of words that people might find offensive is strictly forbidden. Not only are you not allowed to use or mention such words, but you may not even allude to their existence.
Is there anyone who actually supports such a policy?

@Cinque I'm really quite confused by this; if you're going to be offended by certain words, you should probably not click on questions that are specifically devoted to discussing those words. He didn't even use "the N-word" directly, he actually said the phase "the N-word" instead in an attempt to avoid offending people, but if he'd just used the word directly I don't think it would have mattered much. There's a difference between mentioning a word and using it to describe someone, and the latter is much more offensive than the former – Michael Mrozek Sep 6 '10 at 23:43
@Cinque, no you didn't write the proposed policy I put there, but it does seem to be the policy that your comments imply I should comport myself by. If I have misrepresented what you think the policy should be, please try to explain. I am truly curious to understand where you would draw the line between appropriate and inappropriate. – nohat♦ Sep 6 '10 at 23:51
@Cinque, you have not been clear in your objection to my comment. Please explain what the policy is you think that I should follow that would have resulted in me not making that comment. Is the policy that I should pretend that offensive words don't exist? Scolding me and then not explaining why is no help to anyone. – nohat♦ Sep 7 '10 at 0:53
@Cinque: If someone were to ask the etymology of "niggardly", should such a question be off-limits because it might lead to a mention of the N-word's existence (even though they are unrelated)? – mmyers Sep 7 '10 at 20:24
Hand-waving this away seems silly—there is more to be said here. It's disappointing to see an almost personal attack here. If we're going to advocate the censorship of mere lemmata, let alone actual words, we need an absolutely crystal clear policy devoid of exceptions, or nothing at all. – Charlie Sep 9 '10 at 1:48
@Cinque After a couple days' reflection, I just want to say that I appreciate where you are coming from and understand why you felt offense by my comment. I think, however, that the ramifications of withholding comments like that for fear I might offend someone because I merely alluded to the existence of an offensive word are far too negative to take seriously any policy proposal to do so. I do wish you had given credence to the idea that the word was relevant in this case. In the future I will endeavor to be more cautious but I cannot promise that I will never mention the "n-word" again. – nohat♦ Sep 9 '10 at 6:02
Late to the party, but... I'm far on @nohat's side. I even chastised people for says "f-word" instead of "fuck". This is a language site. Prudes or otherwise easily offended should stay away, or execute extreme caution. – Jürgen A. Erhard Feb 10 '11 at 12:43
I have deleted some comments because they have been re-assigned to me, but it was not me who wrote them. I apologize if this can create confusion in who reads the comments in this thread. – kiamlaluno May 20 '11 at 3:10
Not only do I think that a person should be able to discuss an offensive word or phrase in an academic fashion as appropriate, but I don't even think it should be necessary to disguise the word or phrase in any way. Of course, it is fine to go ahead and disguise the word as nohat did, but even if he had spelled out the actual word in that context I would still defend him.
Certainly, there are appropriate and inappropriate ways to use offensive words on a site like this, but I think we should be mature enough to recognize what constitutes academic discussion and what doesn't.

+1. This whole episode is completely baffling to me -- it's the word he didn't use that he was called out for? – mmyers Sep 7 '10 at 15:08
@mmyers - Yes, @nohat is being berated by @Cinque for calling out the existence of the "N word" by referring to it as "the N word". I agree, quite baffling. – ssakl Sep 7 '10 at 18:19
The N word we're talking about is knickers, right? – ErikE Sep 26 '10 at 8:48
+1 this is quite frightening. Are people afraid to write some words? Do words bite, now? "The N-word", the "F-bomb" and things like that sound very stupid and childish to me. If you're unable to say "nigger" or "fuck" even if the context is appropriate, you're in trouble. Insulting people or cursing is one thing, but totally censoring a word no-matter-what is utter madness IMO. – o0'. Jan 18 '11 at 15:38
With Looris. Words should not be disguised in any way. Yes, I don't think it's "fine" to do so, I think it hinders communication. Like "f-word". This is only fine if we can assume that everyone here knows what that means. Which we can't, given this is an international site with loads of non-native speakers. – Jürgen A. Erhard Feb 10 '11 at 12:45
@Emtucifor: it appears for Cinque it's now "nohat" ;-P – Jürgen A. Erhard Feb 10 '11 at 12:46
Even the lofty Economist (the weekly news rag) prints words like shit, fuck, nigger, faggot, or cocksucker when it's quoting actual speech. It would be journalistically dishonest not to do so. – tchrist♦ Jan 10 '12 at 19:30
@tchrist the policy on this site is that potentially offensive words shall be censored in the titles, but can be explicit in the bodies and comments. If you find this policy unacceptable, please refrain from participating on this website. Thanks! – Jeff Atwood Jan 11 '12 at 1:05
@JeffAtwood How is anyone supposed to know that is 'the policy', eh? Anyway, don't worry. I'll be a good little soldier and do whatever I'm told to. You know that's how I am. – tchrist♦ Jan 11 '12 at 1:50
@Lohoris. "Do words bite, now?" Yes, actually, they do. PTSD is a real condition, and people can be triggered by words. That said, I agree with the policy of this site. – TRiG Feb 28 '12 at 1:04
If you're going to pretend offensive words don't exist you'll need to close questions like that one as "not a real question", as they ask about fictional concepts like curse words. Personally I think people have conflated swearing with the discussion of swearing, and they're quite different -- the utterance of a "swear word" is not necessarily swearing.
I'm going to temporarily break out swearing here, so brace yourselves if you find this offensive:
If I say "fuck you", that's swearing
If I say "The word 'fuck' exists in the English language", that's not swearing. It's just not, except maybe in a semantic sense (I'm not familiar with the actual definition of the word)
There's no reason to be offended by the existence of swear words themselves, and pretending they don't exist on a site devoted to discussion of language would be laughable. If enough people have a problem with it, one approach is to have a tag that marks questions that talk about curse words, so people can ignore that tag (similiar to a NSFW tag on an RSS feed)
Michael MrozekMichael Mrozek
I'm assuming your comments apply equally to swear words as to offensive epithets? – nohat♦ Sep 6 '10 at 23:53
@Cinque There shouldn't be any difference when it comes to discussing the existence of a word, and again, nobody even said the word you're so offended by; everyone has used the phrase "the n-word", including you just now, because pretending the word doesn't exist is juvenile – Michael Mrozek Sep 7 '10 at 0:23
@Cinque, You say the word "added nothing". You're wrong. It was relevant and informative and contributed to the conversation. It did add something. That's the point. – TRiG Jan 31 '11 at 21:58
@Cinque: "this country"? The Internet is a country? slaps own forehead Of course, it even has a national anthem! (That well-known song from Avenue Q ;-) – Jürgen A. Erhard Feb 10 '11 at 12:48
Does this user really expect us to pretend offensive words don't exist? Is that really a reasonable way forward?
No, it is not. @Cinque does not have a right not to be offended by perfectly legitimate (though offensive to some) words in an intellectual discussion of English. If merely acknowledging the existence of something like the "N-word" becomes forbidden on this site, I for one will leave. What if someone asks a question about the etymology of the "N-word" and actually spells it out? How are the non-native speakers on the site supposed to even necessarily know which words are offensive?
All @Cinque has done by continuing this line of thought is to now make me curious about the etymology of the "N-word" itself. Also, if we cater to political correctness, how will non-native speakers even know to what we refer? Lots of words start with "N". Talk about the "N" word, the "F" word, and the "C" word. Even spell them out. Just don't call anyone a "N" or a "C" or tell them to "F" off.

When I first visited Brazil, a woman who was learning English asked me (a native English speaker thus an authority to her) how in English she should describe black people. She used a variant on the N-word completely innocently. I quickly told her that word is offensive and gave the polite alternative, but how else could she have asked the question without saying the word? She meant no harm. And if she'd asked the question here, I would HOPE she would get a straight, intellectual, correct answer, WITHOUT getting flamed or otherwise mistreated for a perfectly innocent question. – ErikE Sep 26 '10 at 8:54
Why don't you use the words 'nigger', 'fuck' and 'cunt' yourself in your answer? As a non native speaker I have to guess those are the ones you are referring to. – Per Wiklander Feb 24 '11 at 19:07
@Per - Because at the time, the topic of allowing this usage in the forum was still up in the air. This has since been resolved. – ssakl Feb 28 '11 at 22:28
Fair enough. You say it has been resolved. So was the resolution that we can talk about words of any kind here? – Per Wiklander Mar 1 '11 at 23:01
When the Laura Schlessinger thing happened, I made a blog post here about why it isn't necessary to use (in the philosophical sense) the n-word in order for it to be offensive. Apparently for @Cinque, even mentioning the taboo avoidance term is enough to be offensive.
I don't want to say that Cinque's offense was illegitimate, but it does place us in an awkward position. The topic of the question was about pejoratives ending in -er, clearly bringing the n-word into relevance. What should be done then? nohat even used the normally accepted form to mention without saying the n-word.
With all due respect to Cinque's feelings, there must be some way to discuss taboo and offensive words when they are the topic of a question. Cinque, you haven't offered an alternative wording of nohat's comment, and not discussing the word at all is not a viable alternative.
JoFrhwldJoFrhwld
as a completely off-topic aside, in my opinion, there's no need to lowercase my screen name "nohat" at the beginning of a sentence. In fact if you wanted to capitalize it all the time I'd be OK with that too. – nohat♦ Sep 8 '10 at 0:59
I think we can all agree that that word is offensive, but to prevent acknowledging the existence of that word or any word is beyond ridiculous.
I have attempted bodily harm to the one person foolish enough to call me a [offensive word]. That doesn't mean that I'll throw a hissy fit if someone wants to discuss that word's etymology. I probably won't read it, but I won't vote to close unless it turns into a troll-fest.
Words exist. We discuss them here.
J.T. GrimesJ.T. Grimes
I am strongly against censoring ourselves in an academic context. It's the job of the linguist, speaker, and learner to recognize, understand, and dissect these words. I would strongly recommend changing the word in reference to the actual word, if nothing else but to prevent confusion–and hopefully remove some of the stigma involved with it. Further, suggesting that we avoid all reference to a word on a site that is about words is ludicrous. That said, I can understand that some people may not want to read these words. Is a "NSFW"-like tag appropriate?
This brings other, interesting topics to mind. Why do people find words offensive? What are the histories of these words? Also, I'm particularly looking forward to our discussion on fucking-infixation.
CharlieCharlie
It is always good to clarify a phrase like "fucking-insertion" with a link to relevant information :) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expletive_infixation – Kosmonaut Sep 9 '10 at 3:01
I'll leave it to you and Google. Had better change the term though, thanks for that. – Charlie Sep 9 '10 at 4:06
I used the word in question in Was the word "nigger" an expletive in Mark Twain's day?
Andrew GrimmAndrew Grimm
I like the the Guardian newspaper's guidelines for swearwords, it may also help us:
swearwords
We are more liberal than any other newspapers, using language that our competitors would not. But even some readers who agree with Lenny Bruce that "take away the right to say fuck and you take away the right to say fuck the government" might feel that we sometimes use such words unnecessarily.
The editor's guidelines are as follows:
First, remember the reader, and respect demands that we should not casually use words that are likely to offend.
Second, use such words only when absolutely necessary to the facts of a piece, or to portray a character in an article; there is almost never a case in which we need to use a swearword outside direct quotes.
Third, the stronger the swearword, the harder we ought to think about using it.
Finally, never use asterisks, which are just a cop-out
They discuss it in more detail here.

China Will Test Taiwan by March, Including Military Operations
Japan and Other Free Nations Must Take Decisive Action
January 9, 2022 | Japan and Other Free Nations Must Take Decisive Action
"The historical task of the complete reunification of the motherland must be fulfilled, and will definitely be fulfilled."
On Oct. 9, 2021, at an event commemorating the 110th anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution, Chinese President Xi Jinping expressed strong confidence in the reunification of Taiwan.
As his speech suggested, approximately 50 Chinese military craft per day entered Taiwan's air defense identification zone (ADIZ) over a span of several days. Furthermore, China added military pressure in the water territory of southern Fujian Province, located on the opposite bank of Taiwan, by conducting field training of occupying the coastal base — a move that can be seen as a "rehearsal" for invading Taiwan.
Taiwan Faces Its Biggest Crisis
In a mid-October spiritual reading conducted by Master Ryuho Okawa of Happy Science, a messianic space being named Yaidron pointed out that Taiwan is facing its "biggest crisis ever". (Learn more here: "UFO Reading — Growing Tension over Taiwan and Outlook on the Coronavirus Pandemic".)
Meanwhile, Taiwan has been strengthening its military power, including long-range missiles and a system to mobilize over 500,000 troops in the event of an emergency. "[Taiwan is] ready to fire into Beijing, not just Fujian Province," according to the spiritual reading. If a Taiwan emergency occurs, great damage will be dealt on both sides.
Yaidron predicts these tensions to rise significantly around the New Year holiday season. He pointed out possible scenarios such as China conducting reconnaissance toward Japan through military force or other threats over the Senkaku Islands, as well as throwing a direct "jab" towards Taiwan.
"The first test will happen by March," Yaidron said. "They will test Taiwan's response along with specific actions taken by other countries."
How Japan will respond is critical. As of now, Japan is showing support for Taiwan, but China will probe into Japan's degree of support for Taiwan— whether it be merely an emotional level or more. Japan must prepare for that scenario.
Not Installing Signposts on Senkaku Is an Act of Fearing the 'Yakuza'
Amid these tensions, another concerning matter remains. In October 2021, the central government of Japan rejected a request from the municipal government of Ishigaki in Okinawa Prefecture to land on the Senkaku Islands in order to install signposts that include the word "Senkaku."
By rejecting this request, the Japanese government is basically claiming, "We do not recognize the Senkaku Islands as Japanese territory." The government's response is pitiful and sounds as follows: "We are scared of putting up a sign that says, 'No gangs allowed,' because the Yakuza will come at us."
The New Komeito Party (NKP) is deeply involved in this matter. The Japan Coast Guard (JCG), which guards the area around the Senkaku Islands, is under the jurisdiction of Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT). Under Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and its coalition with the NKP, a member of the NKP has long served as the minister of MLIT. The NKP, who has been imposing adverse effects on Japan's national defense, is now casting a shadow on Japan's national security.
China's Quest for World Domination Starts With Taiwan
Yaidron also mentioned that by 2025, China will "strengthen its military power, not only so Taiwan won't even come close to withstanding them, but also to create enough military imbalance in which the battle will be over before foreign reinforcements arrive." China's end game is to completely reverse the U.S.-China power balance by 2030 and make themselves at home, both in Taiwan and other countries around the world.
In attempts to counter China, free nations are building economic security alliances such as the Quad, or military partnerships such as AUKUS, but these measures are still insufficient relative to the impending Chinese threat.
Japan must take initiative in pursuing a containment of China while simultaneously taking decisive action against the "Taiwan Crisis" that will most likely take place by next March so as not to plant a "root of evil" in history.

Demonstration of a Novel 3-D Wind Sensor for Improved Wind Shear Detection for Aviation Operations
Anthony O'Connor, Technological University Dublin
Theses, Masters
Thesis submitted to the Technological University Dublin for the degree of Master of Philosophy, November 2018..
Low level wind shear and turbulence present a serious safety risk to aircraft during the approach, landing and take-off phases. Low level wind shear has been identified as one of the primary factors for aircraft go-arounds and aborted landings. Aviation reports have concluded that pilots need to have improved information in relation to tailwinds, wind shear and wind variations on approach and during the landing phases. The ability for a pilot to land an aircraft safely without the need to go-around or abort a landing due to wind conditions is crucial. During any given year, wind shear occurs thousands of times at airports around the world, affecting the arrival and departure of aircraft. It is therefore vital that the most accurate information is recorded and relayed by the Air traffic controllers to the flight crew. At present wind is measured using anemometers and wind vanes in airport terminal areas. The design of this instrumentation has not changed greatly since its first use in 1846. These instruments are constructed and limited by their design to only measure wind as a two-dimensional entity. Wind blows freely in three dimensional space so three dimensional measurement is required. This thesis will argue that a solution to the problem of forecasting low level wind shear and turbulence for the approach, landing and go-around flight phases for aircraft can be addressed by incorporating the Wind Urchin as part of the Low Level Wind Shear Alerting System in all airports. This thesis will show that wind data taken from the Wind Urchin at a test site at Baldonell Aerodrome measured the vertical wind component, when wind data from existing wind measurement instruments at Baldonell for the same time only recorded the horizontal wind. Initial research produced a wind profile providing greater resolution of the wind data showing when turbulence is high and when it is safe for aircraft to land.

The Digital Transformation of Labor (Open Access)
Automation, the Gig Economy and Welfare, 1st Edition
Edited by Anthony Larsson, Robin Teigland
392 pages | 14 B/W Illus.
Through a series of studies, the overarching aim of this book is to investigate if and how the digitalization/digital transformation process causes (or may cause) the autonomy of various labor functions, and its impact in creating (or stymieing) various job opportunities on the labor market. This book also seeks to illuminate what actors/groups are mostly benefited by the digitalization/digital transformation and which actors/groups that are put at risk by it.
This book takes its point of departure from a 2016 OECD report that contends that the impact digitalization has on the future of labor is ambiguous as on the one hand it is suggested that technological change is labor-saving, but on the other hand, it is suggested that digital technologies have not created new jobs on a scale that it replaces old jobs. Another 2018 OECD report indicated that digitalization and automation as such does not pose a real risk of destroying any significant number of jobs for the foreseeable future, although tasks would by and large change significantly. This would affects welfare, as most of its revenue stems from taxation, and particularly so from the taxation on labor (directly or indirectly). For this reason, this book will set out to explore how the future technological and societal advancements impact labor conditions.
The book seeks to provide an innovative, enriching and controversial take on how various aspects of the labor market can be (and are) affected the ongoing digitalization trend in a way that is not covered by extant literature. As such, this book intends to cater to a wider readership, from a general audience and students, to specialized processionals and academics wanting to gain a deeper understanding of the possible future developments of the labor market in light of an accelerating digitalization/digital transformation of society at large.

Desert Discoveries
Gives travellers the unique opportunity to explore areas where no western tourists have ever been, whilst learning first-hand about the extensive history of Jordan and the region.
By invitation of the Hashemite Royal Court and His Excellency the Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, unexplored areas of the Jordanian Desert have been opened exclusively to Desert Discoveries Limited, an independent UK-based travel company, to take small groups of people to explore the desert by day and sleep under the stars by night.
Travelling is in air-conditioned, 4-wheel drive vehicles, which are necessary to cope with the heat and terrain, such as deep sand drifts, undulating dunes, and basalt flints and boulders.
Not all of the nights on tour are spent in the open desert, some are spent in luxury hotels in Amman and Petra.
Desert Discoveries, based in London, is proud to be the only travel company able to offer this package, and actively works to promote responsible tourism in Jordan.
NEW: Jordan and Saudi Arabia
We are currently negotiating for permissions - please note the plural - for a unique expedition. Following a loop of the ancient trade routes, we propose to travel south from Petra to the great Saudi Arabian necropolis of Meda'in Saleh; from there to an unrecorded Nabataean site in the canyons of the Wadi Qaraqir; on north-west to the settlement and tombs of Al Bad, returning to Jordan along the Red Sea coast. This is very much an expedition, not a tour. We can take no more than 9 people, first-come-first-served; and given the experimental nature of the expedition it will be carried out on a cost-share basis, with an estimated cost per participant of £2,500 excluding flights for 11 days on the ground.
We reserve the right to assign places on this expedition according to the preparedness of the individual for deep desert travel within the Kingdoms of Jordan and Saudi Arabia. If you are interested, contact us and we will keep you posted.

Applying The Four Theoretical Perspective The Problem Of Fashion Case Study Example
Category: Women, Sociology, World, Media
The reading discusses the world of fashion from four different sociological perspectives. These sociological perspectives are structural functionalism, conflict theory, symbolic interactions and feminism.
According to functionalism, fashion serves as a purpose to differentiate between the wealthy and not-so-wealthy. So, the rich would wear expensive clothing because he/she can afford them, while the poor will wear cheap clothes because he/she cannot afford to wear 'high' fashion clothing.
The conflict theory suggested that the companies engaged in fashion are the ones who benefit from fashion, not the buyers. The theory says that the fashion industry is constantly introducing new styles, so that they can earn remarkable profits by selling them. Therefore, the owners of the companies, engaged in the business of fashion, are the ones who benefit from fashion. Also, according to the conflict theory, mass media is used as a tool to influence the taste of potential consumers. Fashion also acts as a distraction from socio-political issues around us.
The symbolic interaction says that clothes are used as a symbol to send messages to others. The type of clothing that you wear can convey a lot of messages, ranging from sexual orientation, relationship status, religious and racial affiliation, etc.
Feminism tells us how fashion is a tool used to insert male dominance over the women. The fashion world says lots of things, like only the thin is pretty. It also stresses upon women body, hence portraying women as sex objects. Fashionable clothing is also highly uncomfortable and unhealthy. So, in short, feminists think of fashion as a form of patriarchy.
All of these four sociological perspectives give a deep interpretation of the fashion world. While one paradigm explains certain aspects, the other paradigm defines the unexplained and unanswered questions by the first one. So, if you think about it, all four sociological perspectives gives a unique critique about the fashion world that happens to be true and accurate. For me, functionalism was the least appealing of all.
Today, mass production has allowed people to wear all sorts of clothing. It's only the high fashion that the poor can't afford but speculation by mass media has made a lot of people fashion enthusiasts. Such people strive to wear collectable and products of high fashion. Moreover, the rich has adopted clothing and fashion of the lower-class, like the hip hop clothing. Such type of clothing can be seen as worn by celebrities and stars, like Justin Timberlake.
The other three theories proved to be very attractive to me. Being a Marxist myself, conflict theory provides a brilliant critique on fashion and how it's used as a tool to further create division in the classes. Profit is used as a motive to constantly evolve fashion and trends, and change consumer taste. Symbolic interaction also proved to emanate what we experience every day. Our clothing reflects our ideas, mood, religion, culture, job, etc.
But the most attractive of all was feminism. Fashion is used as a tool to further the patriarchal society we're living in. Fashion magazines, advertisements and ramp walks, all show that to be beautiful you need to be thin. They also show that the more erotic the clothing is, the more fashionable the woman looks. This portrays women as sex objects. Therefore, the identity of women is defined by this patriarchal institution, known as fashion. Why can't a plus-size woman be beautiful? Or why is showing skin (eroticism) more fashionable than not showing too much skin? As a result of the prevalent beliefs, women are not as liberated as the fashion world would want us to believe.
