Five contemporary poets worth reading on World Poetry Day
Don Paterson Credit: Simon Price/Alamy
8 October 2015 • 6:00am
Since World Poetry Day was declared by UNESCO in 1999, it's become a celebration of all kind of poetry around the planet. Attempts are made by poets and big literary organisations to woo new readers, people who may not feel poetry is for them, with ear-catching, accessible verse, performances and public poetry installations.
These are all admirable ways of bringing more poetry into people's lives, and you could be forgiven for thinking that it's the only good poetry that gets written these days, but that's not the case. Sometimes, the most powerful poetry of all can be subtle, thoughtful, and carefully constructed.
poetry "This fashion for poetry readings has led to a kind of poetry that you can understand first go: easy rhythms, easy emotions, easy syntax" Philip Larkin
If you find yourself turned off by attention-grabbing performance poetry, and looking for something more quiet and deep to linger with you for a little longer, you're not alone. "This fashion for poetry readings has led to a kind of poetry that you can understand first go: easy rhythms, easy emotions, easy syntax," said Philip Larkin, perhaps a little sniffily, but even contemporary performance poets prefer the page now and then. If you'd rather digest poetry in your hands and your head than through your ears, here are five contemporary poets currently writing astonishing verse that uses subtler charms to win you over.
Don Paterson
The Scottish poet, critic and editor is much adorned with prizes and plaudits, and it's easy to see why: his poems bring together beauty, depth and complexity of thought, lightly woven in structures of intricate perfection. A creative writing teacher at the University of St Andrews, Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, winner of the Forward Prize and twice winner of the TS Eliot Prize, Paterson also holds an OBE and the Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry. He has a particular interest in sonnets, having just written a new collection of 40 of them and edited an anthology of 101 chosen from the anglophone canon.

"...forget the ink, the milk, the blood—
all was washed clean with the flood
we rose up from the falling waters
the fallen rain's own sons and daughters
and none of this, none of this matters."

JH Prynne
Born in 1936, Prynne may be the living poet that other poets admire the most. His poems can look unfriendly and even wilfully obscure to the casual reader, often bound in coded allusions and aesthetic formalism, exploring and teasing at the poetic construction process. Linguistically dexterous, they also display a virtuoso musicality. Prynne has been an English fellow at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, since 1962, although he no longer teaches.

"...the ethereal language of love in
brilliant suspense between us and the
hesitant arc. Yet I need it too and keep
one hand in my pocket & one in yours,
waiting for the first snow of the year."
Alice Oswald
A contemporary nature poet every inch an heir to the Romantics, Oswald's poems are steeped in landscape and history and show just as careful an ear for light and warmth as for darkness and cold. Dart, her TS Eliot prize-winning book-length poem about the river Dart (2002), is full of visceral mud and water exploring British people's relationship with our natural world and our past. Another long poem, Memorial, is hugely ambitious in scope. It's an atmospheric and accomplished sweep of a poem retelling the Iliad through an extended elegy for its war dead, a response to the ancient tradition of oral poetry and another take on poetry for performance.
Read this: Wedding (1996)
"...and this, my love, when millions come and go
beyond the need of us, is like a trick;
and when the trick begins, it's like a toe
tip-toeing on a rope, which is like luck;
and when the luck begins, it's like a wedding,
which is like love, which is like everything."

Brenda Shaughnessy
The American poet Shaughnessy, like Prynne, is a writer whose books you'll most likely find on the bookshelves of other poets, who follow her with slavish awe. Her lightness of touch with wordplay and internal music makes her poems dance and sing on the page, while inhabiting several moods at once: they can be erotic and mournful, playful and furious, and comic and lyrical all in the space of a few moments' reading. Shaughnessy currently teaches at Rutgers University Newark (where she is tenured faculty), has won several American poetry prizes, and her work appears in The New Yorker and Best American Poetry.
Read this: Project for a Fainting (1999)
"...You are my stranger and see how we have closed. On both ends.
Night wets me all night, blind, carried.
And watermarks. The plough of the rough on the slick,
love, a tendency toward fever. To break. To soil.
Would I dance with you? Both forever and rather die.
It would be like dying, yes. Yes I would."
Originally from Jamaica, Miller now teaches at Royal Holloway, University of London, and in 2014 won the Forward Prize for his collection The Cartographer Tries to Map a Way to Zion. His poems are interested in the politics of language and its history, and often demonstrate just how perfect a form poetry can be for the debate and exploration of history and ideas, when in the right hands. A favourite of double Booker Prize-winner Hilary Mantel, Miller is currently enjoying some excited buzz around his work and is often to be found performing at events across the UK or reading his work on Radio 4, but you should believe the hype.

"...Years later a friend tells me
tongues is nothing but gibberish - the deluded
pulling words out of dust. I want to ask him
what is language but a sound we christen?"

WHO Says Governments Should Raise Taxes on Sugary Drinks

The World Health Organization said on Tuesday governments should raise taxes on sugary drinks to fight what it says are global obesity and diabetes epidemics.
If retail prices of sugar-sweetened drinks are increased by 20% through taxation, there is a proportional drop in consumption, it said in a report titled "Fiscal Policies for Diet and Prevention of Noncommunicable Diseases".
Obesity more than doubled worldwide between 1980 and 2014, with 11% of men and 15% of women classified as obese – more than 500 million people, the WHO said.
An estimated 42 million children under age 5 were overweight or obese in 2015, said Dr. Francesco Branca, director of WHO's department for nutrition and health. This was an increase of about 11 million over the past 15 years.
Additionally, some 422 million adults across the world have diabetes.
The WHO said there was increasingly clear evidence that taxes and subsidies influence purchasing behavior, and that this could be used to curb consumption of sugar-sweetened drinks and hence fight obesity and diabetes.
"We are now in a place where we can say there is enough evidence and we encourage countries to implement effective tax policy," Temo Waqanivalu, coordinator at WHO's department of Noncommunicable Diseases and Health Promotion, told a briefing.
The United States has the world's highest rates of obesity per population, but China also has similar absolute numbers among both men and women, Branca, the nutrition director, said.
Sweet drinks are also popular in Latin America, where people in Chile and Mexico are the biggest consumers, he said.
WHO guidelines issued in March 2015 said that adults and children from the Americas to Western Europe and the Middle East need to roughly halve the amount of sugar they consume to lower risk of obesity and tooth decay.
The guidelines mean people should reduce the amount to less than 10% of their daily energy intake — or to about 50 grams or 12 teaspoons of sugar for adults – but 5% is even better, it said.
The WHO's recommendations cover free sugars such as glucose and fructose, and sucrose or table sugar added to processed foods and drinks.

Woman gang raped by Somali refugees blasts plane "mutiny" which stopped one attacker from being deported
Posted on April 10, 2019 by DCG | 6 comments
#WaronWomen
From Daily Mirror: A woman raped by a Somali refugee has told of her anger after a passenger mutiny on a flight prevented the attacker from being deported. Yaqub Ahmed was one of four men who gang raped the woman in North London when she was just 16.
In October last year, well-meaning travellers on a flight from London to Turkey intervened when they discovered Ahmed was being forced to leave the country, having served a jail term for rape.
Faced with a dozen passengers demanding Ahmed was taken off the plane, Home Office officials relented.
But the footage piled on the misery for the 27-year-old victim, who was horrified to see people support the rapist.
One man was heard in a video clip telling Ahmed: "You're a free man now."
The woman, who has suffered post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a result of the rape, told the Mail on Sunday that seeing the video made her "angry and upset".
Hitting out at the "bleeding heart" passengers who intervened, she said: "He was in handcuffs, he was being taken out of the country… who are you people to interfere with justice? Fair enough you didn't know the situation, but now I hope you feel proud of yourselves because you stopped something that I have waited for so long: something that made me feel that little bit safer."
The four men were jailed for a combined 35 years following the sex attack in August 2007.Ahmed remains in the UK, the Mail on Sunday reports, with efforts to deport him continuing.
The woman, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, said she was lured to a flat in Crouch End, North London, by a youth who claimed her friend was waiting for her after she lost her on a night out. She said she was held down while the men took turns to rape her during the horrific attack.
Neighbours heard her screams and called police, but all four denied rape, forcing the woman to relive the ordeal at a trial.
Ahmed, then 19, Adnan Mohamud, 19, and Adnan Barud, 21, were all jailed for nine years. Ondogo Ahmed, 19, was given eight years for conspiracy to rape. He died fighting for ISIS in 2013.
Voicing her fury at those who prevented the deportation, the woman said they clearly thought there had been an injustice because Ahmed was in handcuffs. But she continued: "Those people should have realised it takes a lot to get someone deported, maybe we shouldn't interfere."

COVID-19: Preventing and Mitigation Measures in Mexico
On March 24, 2020, Mexico's Health Ministry issued a Resolution, which institutes mandatory measures aimed at reducing the transmission of COVID-19. Key restrictions in the Resolution are as follows:
Individuals aged 65 and older, individuals with pre-existing health conditions, pregnant women or in nursing period, and individuals with disabilities must avoid attending workplaces and public spaces. The Resolution indicates that this group of individuals shall be entitled to full salary and benefits during the suspension.
From March 24, 2020 to April 19, 2020, all activities that require the agglomeration, transit or displacement of people are temporarily suspended. The Resolution allows implementing an operations continuity plan for essential activities.
Private sector businesses considered to be essential to confront the contingency, such as hospitals, clinics, drugstores, laboratories, medical services, finance, telecommunications, media, hotels, restaurants, gas stations, supermarkets, corner shops, transportation and gas distribution services, are permitted to remain open, provided that crowds are not permitted in small or enclosed spaces.
Large scale events or gatherings of more than 100 individuals are suspended until further notice.
The Resolution states that employment relationships will continue in effect, as governed by the corresponding individual employment agreements, Collective Bargaining Agreements and the Mexican Federal Labor Law.
Although the Resolution sets forth mandatory measures, it stops short of declaring a health emergency. Furthermore, the Resolution does not order a general suspension of work. For these reasons, employers are not subject to the legal requirement established by Articles 427 (VII) and 429 (IV) of the Federal Labor Law to suspend the employment relationship due to a health emergency by only paying one minimum wage for up to 30 days to employees.
Companies that fail to comply with the above measures may be subject to penalties arising in a health or labor law context.
Companies should also follow the recommendations made by Mexico's Labor Ministry on March 20, 2020 in its "Action Guide for Workplaces Against COVID-19". These include ensuring distancing among individuals in work areas, ensuring that management attempts to identify individuals showing symptoms related to COVID-19 at the company's entrance points, instituting quarantine protocols for employees showing symptoms related to COVID-19 and implementing remote working arrangements.

Pinnacle Liquid Edition 6
By Jan Ozer - Posted Dec 1, 2004 Print Version Page 1of 3 next »
Pinnacle Liquid Edition was born in the days when virtually all video production was performed by professionals and almost always output to tape. Today, by contrast, the mass market for editing is largely non-professional users producing for digital playback on a DVD player or hard drive, or via streaming media.
Obviously, this shift from professional to non-professional user requires an emphasis on ease of use and feature accessibility over pure functionality and workflow. What's more, this shifting emphasis has changed user expectations, up to and including those that the inexpensiveness and accessibility of DV and DVD have brought into the burgeoning commercial videography field. More subtle in the NLEs themselves is the shift from a pure editor to a tool for producing the various digital outputs that dominate today's production environment.
Examples of companies recognizing the latter reality abound. Adobe introduced the simple yet sophisticated Adobe Media Encoder and Adobe Encore with Premiere Pro, and they subsequently updated Encore in the recent 1.5 release. Apple purchased Spruce to produce the highly capable DVD Studio Pro, and introduced the batch-capable Compressor encoding program with their latest release of Final Cut Pro.
How does this history lesson relate to Pinnacle Liquid Edition 6? In terms of ease of use, Pinnacle added Windows-style menus and wizards, as well as the ability to import projects from Pinnacle Studio. That said, Edition still has multiple controls for similar functions (like at least six for picture-in-picture), still asks the user to choose between CPU and graphics card-based controls, still uses arcane language in many controls, and introduced several new controls that are virtually incomprehensible. So while Pinnacle has increased Edition's ease of use, it still trails other programs in that respect.
Most disappointing was the almost complete lack of attention paid to Edition's rendering and authoring controls. Sure, Pinnacle added some great editing functionality to the program, like embedded support for the HDV format, the ability to edit DV and HDV on the same timeline, and support for multiple-camera shoots. In truth, however, while these features look great in trade show booths and press demos, they only benefit part of the program's user base, even if you project out for the entire 12- to 18-month product lifecycle. (Admittedly, many sophisticated videographers will revel in the Multicam features, and well they should.) The vast majority of users will produce DVDs or streaming files with the program, and most will be better served using third-party alternatives for authoring and encoding.
Edition remains one of the most competent and fun video editors. Despite the move towards ease of use, however, Edition's quirky interface and often obscure language are still much more appropriate for professionals and top-end event shooters than for most corporate and part-time videographers.
The Cook's Tour
Let's start with a quick overview of Edition's interface and workflow, both of which remain largely unchanged from version 5.5. In terms of interface, Edition is simply gorgeous: a smooth, clutter-free environment reminiscent of the dashboard of an expensive European sedan. Edition is highly configurable with multiple interfaces you can quickly jump between.
For example, you can import your assets and create a storyboard in one view, then send the assets in the storyboard to the timeline. Then you can toggle to the traditional editing interface with timeline, source viewer, preview, and library window to finish your editing. Most other programs shoehorn storyboarding into the editing interface, or use pop-up windows which almost always look cluttered. With Edition, even on a relatively small monitor, you always feel like you have plenty of space to work.
With the exception of the new menus and the wizards within them, operation is icon-driven, and you can decide which icons are available and where, allowing one-click access to the editing tools and effects of your choice. Once you become familiar with the icons, common operations like splitting, adding transitions, and jumping to the next edit point become fast and simple.
Edition supports multiple sequences on multiple timelines within a project, and you can group multiple assets into one "container" on the timeline to apply one effect uniformly to the group. The program saves all edit decisions in real time, so you don't have to save your projects, and won't lose work if the program crashes.

Netflix's Project Power Review: Entertaining but Needs More Imagination
Project Power is a superhero movie directed by Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost and starring Jamie Foxx, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Dominique Fishback.
Big potential
Project Power follows Art and Robin as they try to find the source behind an intriguing, but sometimes deadly, new drug called Power. The drug brings out the best or worst in everyone, but you get to know it once you take it.
This movie had such great potential. When it comes to superhero movies, you always see a permanent genetic mutation that changes you forever, for good or for bad. Project Power gives a nice new twist to the tale. Here, power comes to you in a capsule, lasts for 5 minutes, and what you get is an absolute surprise. It's such an interesting concept.
However, the movie goes down the same-old path of good guys vs bad guys and saving someone in the process. Was it entertaining? You betcha. But I can't help but wonder what else the drug can do, why it has such varied effects, how it came to be in the first place, and basically want to know everything about it.
That being said, the movie is extremely entertaining. That's predominantly because of the stellar cast and the gorgeous effects. First of all, a shoutout to the film's lead Dominique Fishback, who has done an excellent job as the very relatable Robin. She's a good kid at heart, but life hasn't been fair to her and she is thus forced to do a lot of things to make ends meet. So is Jamie Foxx. He's great with Art. Foxx's natural charisma, along with his acting, are stellar. Gordon-Levitt, however, has got the short end of the stick here. He doesn't have much of a role, but it's always great to see him on-screen.
Also, the cinematography of Project Power is great. Considering it's a superhero movie, much of it is dependant on the special effects – which is does nicely. The colours are vibrant and it's a treat for the eyes. Additionally, there are some great scenes that make it worth a watch. Special mention: there's a scene where a woman slowly turns into a block of ice inside a reinforced contained while there's a huge fight taking place outside. The scene is shot from the inside, and it's such fun to watch. Same with the last fight sequence.
I would also like to mention here how cool the little capsule looks, and the way they show the changes that take place right after taking it is awesome. There's a scene where a man, completely on fire, fights with Art. Although it's nothing special, it's great to watch. The movie is littered with such scenes though. As I said at first, there was a huge potential with Project Power that the makers completely missed out on. I can't imagine how much I would've enjoyed it had they delved deeper with the story, along with the cinematic bravado.
However, as I also said above, this movie underutilises its potential. First of all, the changes that take place in the person is a surprise. And when that's the case, you expect much more imaginative changes – not just the ability to manipulate fire. The only one very cool power was someone who became invisible (or had camouflage abilities). But other than that, it's mostly fire, ice and… Hulk. Truly lost potential. Additionally, the villains are just terrible.
Summing up: Project Power
Project Power really, truly, had so much it could've done. However, even with it's not so imaginative story and powers, it managed to thoroughly entertain me. The core concept is great and it makes for an intriguing watch. Additionally, Fishback's funny as heck and it was great to watch her on-screen.
Project Power is streaming on Netflix.
Read our other reviews here.
Project Power, starring Jamie Foxx, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Dominique Fishback, is a highly entertaining movie, even though it doesn't delve deep enough into the interesting concept that it has created.

Grizzlies outscore Thunder by 73 points in biggest blowout in NBA history (msn.com)
Thunder-Grizzlies box score is a horror story
A group of around 13,000 fans made the trip to the Memphis Grizzlies' FedExForum to see a basketball game on Thursday. What they got instead was bizarre history.
Despite missing star guard Ja Morant, the Grizzlies defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder by a score of 152-79. The 73-point margin was the largest in the history of the NBA, breaking the 68-point record set by the Cleveland Cavaliers in a 148-80 win over the Miami Heat in 1991.
Thanks to a 57-point home loss to the Indiana Pacers last season, the Thunder now own the NBA record for largest home and road losses.
Here's how the team took it on Twitter:
The Thunder never led in the game. Instead, they were down 15 points by the end of the first quarter, 36 points at halftime and trailed by as many as 78 points midway through the fourth quarter. The Grizzlies, who set a franchise record for points scored, could have missed every shot they attempted in the final 21 minutes of the game and still won.
It's worth mentioning the Thunder don't exactly seem in the business of winning as many games as they can these days, but even the tankiest of tanky teams don't typically lose like this. So how did it happen?
Well, the team entered the game without star guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, veteran big man Derrick Favors and sixth overall pick Josh Giddey. Already shorthanded, the Thunder collectively shot 32.9% from the field while committing 19 turnovers.
Tre Mann, elevated to the starting lineup with Gilgeous-Alexander and Giddey out, shot 5-of-11 from the field. That represented the best shooting line of the night among Thunder starters, all the way down center Jeremiah Robinson-Earl's 0-for-7 night. In the 24 minutes Robinson-Earl was on the floor, the Thunder were outscored by 56 points, the second-worst individual mark since 1997 .
Keep in mind, this team has beaten the Los Angeles Lakers this season. Twice.
Meanwhile, Memphis shot a franchise-record 62.5% from the field and had nine players score in double figures. Again, if every player on the Grizzlies stopped scoring after reaching 10 points, they still would have won. If their starters went scoreless, they still would have won thanks to 93 bench points. If they went scoreless on every shot outside the paint, they still would have won thanks to 82 points in the paint.
With Morant out, Jaren Jackson Jr. led all scorers with 27 points. Rookie big man Santi Aldama, who entered the game averaging 8.4 minutes and 3.0 points, finished as a +52 after posting 18 points and 10 rebounds.
As you can imagine, the internet found all of this very entertaining.

The average NBA ticket price is 51 dollars. Someone should sue the OKC team for that 51 bucks.
It is impossible for a professional basketball team that is trying to lose that badly.
2 Sean Treacy 2 months ago
The NBA just isn't a very interesting product until the playoffs. I'm surprised so many people fork over good money to watch glorified scrimmages until the last few minutes of a close game.
2.1 seeder JohnRussell replied to Sean Treacy @2 2 months ago
I used to occasionally go to a Bulls game with friends. When you are in the stadium it becomes much clearer that quite a few players dont put out top effort every night. Still, the ticket prices are the same whether the players are trying that night or not.
