Unspeakableness Investigation in Emotion Classification This is the early stage research of the project. In late January, 2012, I emailed around Royal College of Art asking for words describing emotions in languages other than English that are untranslatable into English. Interesting enough, in order to understand the untranslatable words I had to have several correspondence with the person who contributed the word, and through this back-and-forth discussion can I actually get the glimpse of the emotion itself. These explanation of the untranslatable words are often in the format of "it is a kind of (emotion A), close to (emotion B), and somehow between (emotion C) and (emotion D)." Notices2013/01/23 The first part of the project: Part 1 - The Untranslatable Words has been featured in several media including Visua.ly, io9, The Globe and Mail, The Atlantic, PopSci, and Salon, as well as BBC Radio Global Service.

Fight The New Drug It’s no secret that some porn is violent, but most people think that’s something different from mainstream pornography—something out on the fringe. Not all porn is the same, its defenders say. People can choose what they like, and if they’re into violent stuff, that’s their business, right? It’s true that not all porn is the same, but the reality is that the majority of even the most mainstream porn is packed full of women being physically and verbally abused—and watching it takes a serious toll on the user. A few years ago, a team of researchers looked at the most popular porn films—the ones bought and rented most often. [1] From that group, they randomly picked 50 and analyzed them. Unlike violence in regular movies where someone gets punched, gets mad, and fights back, 95% of the victims of aggression in the porn scenes either were neutral or responded with pleasure. For porn users, even those that manage to avoid violent material, it’s difficult not to be influenced. [1] Bridges, A.
Beware Sexually Transmitted Demons - AETHERFORCE “The openness and surrender during sexual intercourse can allow the exchange of attached entities between two people. The thoughts, desires and behaviors of an attached entity are experienced as the person’s own thoughts, desires and behaviors. The thoughts, feelings, habits and desires do not seem foreign if they have been present for a long time, even from childhood. This is a major factor in the widespread denial of the concept and lack of acceptance of the phenomena of discarnate interference and spirit attachment, obsession or possession.” – Dr. “People also pick up entity attachments through sex. If you have sex with someone that has a entity or demon, you will absorb that entity into yourself. – Peter Michael, entityattachment.com “Vast beings, living for thousands of years in your terms, make their living ruling and parenting you, seeking their value from you because you have considered yourselves valueless and purposeless. – Eve Lorgen, The Dark Side of Cupid

Harvard Researcher agrees with Pope on condoms in Africa Senior Harvard AIDS Prevention Researcher Dr. Edward Green Cambridge, Mass., Mar 21, 2009 / 10:11 am (CNA).- Pope Benedict’s recent brief remark against condoms has caused an uproar in the press, but several prominent scientists dedicated to preventing AIDS are defending the Pope, saying he was correct in his analysis. In an interview with CNA, Dr. Edward Green explained that although condoms should work, in theory, they may be “exacerbating the problem” in Africa. Benedict XVI’s Tuesday comments on condoms were made as part of his explanation of the Church’s two prong approach to fighting AIDS. Senior Harvard Research Scientist for AIDS Prevention, Dr. According to Dr. “Theoretically, condoms ought to work,” he explained to CNA, “and theoretically, some condom use ought to be better than no condom use, but that’s theoretically.” Condom proponents often cite the lack of condom education as the main culprit for higher AIDS rates in Africa but Green disagrees.
