This document discusses the history and etymology of profanity and vulgar language. It traces words like "fuck" back to their Germanic and Latin roots referring to sexual acts. It outlines how such words gradually became more taboo over time but also gained prominence through works like D.H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover in 1928 which featured profanity and was banned for decades. The document examines debates around regulating vulgar language and provides context on shifting social attitudes towards profanity over centuries.
Poetry for Robots: A Digital Humanities ExperimentWebVisions
In 1989, scholar Norman Cousins published a piece called The Poet and the Computer. Anticipating the computer revolution at his doorstep Cousins makes a plea: do not allow our machines to dehumanize us. And he offers a specific prescription against the potential malady - poetry.
"The danger," he explains, is "not so much that man will be controlled by the computer as that he may imitate it.” Intimate and repeated communication with the robots may require us to too conform our minds to their limited logics and cold calculations.
To preserve and reinforce humanness, Cousins hypothesizes that “…it might be fruitful to effect some sort of junction between the computer technologist and the poet.” And I agree. I propose we write poetry for the robots. What would happen if we created metaphorical metadata for an image bank? Would a search for ‘stars' return image of ‘eyes'?
At Poetry4Robots.com, we’ve made the experiment live. This ‘digital humanities experiment’ is being conducted by Neologic Labs, Webvisions, and Arizona State University's Center for Science and the Imagination.
This talk is about how we may further turn to the arts and humanities to ensure human-centric UX.

Dyan Cannon’s Plastic Surgery is not just a rumor. When a person is almost 80 years old, wrinkles are more than normal on the skin on the face, hands and other parts of the body.
The Moms and Media 2014 study, from Edison Research and Triton Digital, examines the media and technology habits of Moms in America. The report looks at mobile, technology, digital platforms and social media, and how this all-important segment of the population is using them.
Rather than identify strongly with either her generation or the ages and stages of her children, our study showed that upon becoming a mother, Moms adopt a core group of shared values that impact her lifestyle, behavior, the way she interacts with her peers and her purchasing decisions. We call this Generation Mom.
From Hostess to Political Surrogate: The Evolving Role of the First Lady of t...Allison Levin
Today campaigning for the President of United States involves more than just the personality and politics of the candidate and the candidate’s likely choice for Vice President. It is common for the wives of the presidential and vice presidential candidates to hit the campaign trail alone. Much like the Vice President they can answer questions and say things the presidential candidate cannot and they are also expected to explain their own agendas for projects they will advocate while in the White House. In addition, it is now commonplace for the wives to speak at the nominating conventions and at victory parties. In every presidential election since Franklin Roosevelt’s first victory, the public’s interest in the lives of the First Lady has grown along with changes in society.
This talk will examine the history of the First Lady’s role from a non-constitutional, non-formal, and unpaid position that was to be held by any woman chosen by the President who exhibited excellent skills as a social hostess to a job defined by the Supreme Court as being equivalent to any other cabinet position appointed by the President. We begin by examining the first usage of the term First Lady in 1849 and then discuss how each First Lady from Eleanor Roosevelt to Michelle Obama has changed the model of what the First Lady does. We end with an open discussion of how the role of the First Lady may be irrevocably altered following the 2016 Presidential election.

11. The Mock Song, by John Wilmot, The Earl of Rochester, 1680
I swive as well as others do,
I’m young, not yet deformed,
My tender heart, sincere, and true
Deserves not to be scorned.
Why Phyllis then, why will you swive,
With forty lovers more?
Can I (said she) with Nature strive,
Alas I am, alas I am a whore.
Were all my body larded o’er,
With darts of love, so thick,
That you might find in ev’ry pore,
A well stuck standing prick;
Whilst yet my eyes alone were free,
My heart, would never doubt,
In am’rous rage, and ecstasy,
To wish those eyes, to wish those eyes fucked out.
