We’re going to try hard not to rag on Sharp too much for continuing to pump out electronic dictionaries; we get that these are destined mainly for Asian markets, where customers (and language schools that charge extortionary fees) still have some interest in dedicated devices, rather than PDAs or smartphones that can handle dictionary software and a whole lot more. So, we have to give Sharp at least some props for adding MP3 playback functions to its FD-7000MP, SD-S90, and SD-M50 e-dictionaries, which are apparently targeted at the Korean market. The three models have the usual dictionary functions, including the ability to hold up to 31 different dictionaries at once, and the high-end FD-7000MP also includes an e-book reader. But the most important feature built into all three is the ability to play back MP3s while using the dictionary. So, now it’s possible for users to listen to, say, Korean singer BoA, while looking up the translation of “lame pop music knows no borders.”

Bilingual dictionary sheds light on distant past


Bilingual dictionary sheds light on distant past
by Huu Ngoc
An ancient bilingual dictionary that will be of great use for linguists researching Vietnamese as it was written and spoken centuries ago, has been given a new lease on life.
The Dictinarium Anamatico-Latinum (Nam Viet Duong Hiep Tu Vi), compiled by a French missionary in the 18th century was reprinted last year for the first time, under the aegis of the Trung Tam Nghien Cuu Quoc Hoc (Centre for National Culture Studies ).
The value of this major lexicographic work lies with nom, ideograms created by the Vietnamese for the transcription of their language, long before the adoption of the current romanised form of writing.
Viet Nam, as a nation, came into being some three thousand years ago, in the basin of the Hong (Red) River. From 179 B.C. to 938 A.D., China occupied this country. In their long struggle for independence, the Vietnamese strengthened their national conscience by stressing the difference between the Southern Country (Viet Nam) and the Northern Country (China) and by proving that the South did not lack in things that constituted the grandeur of the North.
“Over the Southern mountains and rivers,
Reigns the Emperor of the South;
So it was decided forever in the Heavenly Book”. [Poem by General Ly Thuong Kiet, 11th century].
Nguyen Trai, poet and strategist in the 15th century wrote: “Our Fatherland, the Great Viet, has always been a land of culture.

Common warts

They’re not pretty, but they’re generally painless and harmless.

Common warts are noncancerous skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which stimulates the rapid growth of cells of the outer layer of your skin. They usually occur on hands, fingers or near fingernails.

Common warts are small, fleshy, grainy bumps that are flesh-colored, white, pink or tan, and rough to the touch. They often contain one or more tiny black dots, which are sometimes called wart seeds but are actually small, clotted blood vessels. Young adults and children appear to be affected most often.
