Alexandria Quartet by Lawrence Durrell. Some people think it's a masterpiece. Other people, like myself, think it's a load of pretension toss.
Thanks for weighing in on the little featherweights.
PS The profile photo on the left looks like Buh4Bee's pic.
It is still not too late.
Was born, am struggleing, will die.
working starter motor, or battery, or in fact any electrical systems at all.
It had to be "run off", and then kept running until the day's work was done.
The new pup, Gwen, has arrived. The house is a tip and has a slightly unpleasent fragrance, we are tired due to the howling in the night. However, I think it is important that she lives in the house for a week or two so she knows she belongs.
Meg's training is now on phase three. Phase one was fairly disasterous, where I tried her with sheep straight away and she kept running off in ever increasing circles. Phase two was to take off all the pressure and have nothing to do with sheep for a bit, so that the "come to me" command now means come here and have a cuddle, and "lie down" means roll over and have your tummy scratched. This has worked as far as it goes, she has become alot more relaxed.
Meg -Disaster and back again.
My son has been in California for a week or two (working) so his body clock is all to pot. Yesterday he got up at 2 am and took the dogs for a walk (he didn't know about Meg's behavior). Anyway, she ran off at the first sight of sheep and would not return to him, and eventually disappeared. This is fairly serious in sheep country, when it comes to loose dogs, farmers tend to shoot first and ask questions later .

Moor Sand Beach
Moor Sand is a small quiet pebble beach with rock pools. No facilities or parking. Park at Prawle Point and walk the coast path, which takes about 1 hour from Prawle Point but its worth doing for the stunning scenery.
There is a steep path to the beach.
Dogs allowed all year.
Moor Sand is about 2 miles from the Prawle Point car park, which is about 8 miles from Kingsbridge and about 28 miles from Plymouth. Take the A379 from Plymouth and follow the A379 into south Devon until the Palegate Cross roundabout. Alternatively approaching from the Totnes direction, take the A381 from Totnes until the Palegate Cross roundabout. At the Palegate Cross roundabout turn onto the B3264 and follow this road to Kingsbridge. Approaching Kingsbridge turn right onto the A379 and follow the A379 through Kingsbridge and out of Kingsbridge to the east, continuing on the A379. At the village of Frogmore, turn right (signposted to East Prawle). Follow this road for about a mile and then turn left at a junction (again signposted to East Prawle). Continue on this road through the hamlet of Ford. Then shortly after Ford at a junction turn right and then follow this road for several miles until East Prawle. Drive through East Prawle and follow this road to the Prawle Point car park. Park here and walk the coast path west to Moor Sand.
TQ7 2BY
No parking by the beach. The nearest car park is at Prawle Point, which is about a 1 hours walk on the coast path.
Bantham Sand (15 miles, sandy beach, surfing, part dog friendly)
Mill Bay (6 miles, sandy beach, dog friendly, disabled access)
Prawle Point (2 miles on the coast path, sandy beach, dog friendly)
Slapton Sands (9 miles, pebble beach, dog friendly, disabled access)

Q: How well does boost use c++11? Boost is essentially a c++03 library (which stimulated the c++11 standard). I'm contemplating of using some boost libraries (those that are not implemented in c++11). If I'm using c++11, does boost compile (there may be issues with non-copyable but movable objects)? and how well is boost making use of the c++11 features (variadic templates are an obvious thing to use [by some boost libraries] instead of much of the boost MPL)? (I couldn't find this amongst the boost FAQ).

A: C++11 was made do be as backwards compatible as possible. Unless boost is using reserved keywords that are new to C++11, there is no reason I know of why it shouldn't compile just fine with the new standard.

A: Boost is moving towards using C++11 features.
But one thing to remember is that boost is not "a library", but rather a collection of libraries. Some of them (for example boost::array) probably won't ever be updated to use many c++11 features. Why should it, when you have std::array in the standard (which was based on boost::array?)
On the other hand, Boost would like to remain useful for people who are still using C++03.
Note: Even though I write as if "Boost" is some monolithic entity, there are lots of people who contribute to boost and they have many different opinions. ;-)
To see how well various boost libraries work with C++11 compilers, you can check out the Boost Testing web page.

Q: AES decryption on Android too slow to be usable. Will NDK be faster? Other ideas? I've implemented AES/CTR on Android using the built-in Cipher class.  Decryption appears to be far too slow for my purposes, with a 128KB block taking approximately 6 seconds to decrypt on the emulator and 2.6 seconds on the Samsung Galaxy hardware.
I'm wondering if building OpenSSL using the NDK and calling its methods would be any faster.  Does anyone have any experience with this?  Part of me wants to believe that the Cipher( "AES/CTR/NoPadding" ) methods are just a wrapper around native OpenSSL calls anyway since the Linux OS backing Android should have libcrypto installed.  If that were the case then trying to use the NDK would just be a waste of time as no performance gain could be expected.
I haven't bothered to time this on iOS but even 3Gs hardware decrypts so fast that a 10MB decryption appears to be instantaneous to the end user.  I'm finding it difficult to believe that the Android implementation is really order-of-magnitudes worse but maybe that's the reality.
If this is really what I'm faced with does anyone have any ideas on other implementation strategies that would provide imperceptible response (on 10Mb files) for end users?  Another developer in my office suggested in a tongue-in-cheek way that I just use XOR encryption which makes me want to facepalm myself but I think (security concerns aside) that if I did that it would work.
Thanks!
Here's some simplified code for reference:
public class ResourceDecryptor {
    private static ThreadLocal<Cipher>      mCipher;
    private byte[]                          mIV = new byte[ 8 ];
    private SecretKeySpec                   mKey;
    private String                          mResourcePath;

    private static final int                kAESBlockSize = 16;

    public ResourceDecryptor( String resourcePath, String decryptionKey ) throws UnsupportedOperationException {
        // initialization of mKey, mIV, & mResourcePath, elided

        // store mCipher as a thread local because Cipher.getInstance() is so slow,
        // ResourceDecryptor is a static object that persists for the app lifetime
        // so this leak is intentional and ok.
        mCipher = new ThreadLocal<Cipher>() {
            protected Cipher initialValue() {
                try { return Cipher.getInstance( "AES/CTR/NoPadding" ); } catch ( Exception e ) { }

                return null;
            }
        };
    }

    public ByteBuffer read( long offset, int length ) throws GeneralSecurityException, IOException {
        Cipher                      cipher;
        byte[]                      data, iv;
        FileInputStream             input;
        int                         prefix, readLength;

        input = null;
        prefix = (int)( offset % kAESBlockSize );
        readLength = ( prefix + length + kAESBlockSize - 1 ) / kAESBlockSize * kAESBlockSize;
        data = new byte[ readLength ];
        iv = new byte[ 16 ];

        try {
            input = new FileInputStream( mResourcePath );
            input.skip( offset -= prefix );

            if ( input.read( data ) != readLength ) throw new IOException( "I/O error: unable to read " + readLength + " bytes from offset " + offset );

            System.arraycopy( mIV, 0, iv, 0, 8 );

            offset /= kAESBlockSize;

            iv[  8 ] = (byte)( offset >> 56 & 0xff );
            iv[  9 ] = (byte)( offset >> 48 & 0xff );
            iv[ 10 ] = (byte)( offset >> 40 & 0xff );
            iv[ 11 ] = (byte)( offset >> 32 & 0xff );
            iv[ 12 ] = (byte)( offset >> 24 & 0xff );
            iv[ 13 ] = (byte)( offset >> 16 & 0xff );
            iv[ 14 ] = (byte)( offset >>  8 & 0xff );
            iv[ 15 ] = (byte)( offset       & 0xff );

            if ( ( cipher = mCipher.get() ) == null ) throw new GeneralSecurityException( "Unable to initialize Cipher( \"AES/CTR/NoPadding\" )" );
            cipher.init( Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, mKey, new IvParameterSpec( iv ) );

            long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
            data = cipher.doFinal( data );
            System.out.println( "decryption of " + data.length + " bytes took " + ( ( System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime ) / 1000.0 ) + "s" );

            // cipher.doFinal() takes 5.9s on Samsung Galaxy emulator for 128kb block
            // cipher.doFinal() takes 2.6s on Samsung Galaxy hardware for 128kb block
        } finally {
            if ( input != null ) try { input.close(); } catch ( Exception e ) { }
        }

        // the default order of ByteBuffer is BIG_ENDIAN so it is unnecessary to explicitly set the order()

        return ByteBuffer.wrap( data, prefix, length );
    }
}

A: Yes, heavy lifting like that in a contained function is exactly where the NDK would shine. Keep in mind that Java is interpreted, and on pre-2.2 Android, there is no JIT, so every instruction is interpreted each time - that is a huge overhead.
Even with JIT, every array access does implicit bounds checking, so there is lots and lots of overhead.
If you write this function in C++, it will be significantly faster.

Como se observa, siempre que un elemento esté desplegado, los otros dos se ocultan sin excepción. Entiendo que bien podría poner un collapse encima de otro, pero realmente no quiero hacerlo, por motivos de tiempo y esfuerzo (y aquí queda en evidencia que Boostrap no es lo mio, quizás esto sea sumamente fácil).
Así que mi pregunta es, ¿existe alguna modificación que se pueda hacer a un acordeón en Bootstrap 4 para que el comportamiento de ocultar y mostrar no sea mutuamente excluyente?

A: Si solo tienes un acordeón por página, la solución más sencilla es quitar el atributo data-parent:

Lovell Consulting advised a Private Finance Consortium on this new build office facility. The office contained expenditure on non typical office features. This capital allowances assessment was agreed fully with HMRC after careful segregation of the construction and other related costs.


Small businesses use employee benefits to attract and retain employees. Since there is no requirement for a business to provide employee benefits and relatively few legal mandates on the design or operation of these plans, employee benefits vary widely from company to company. The most common type of employee benefit plan is a health insurance plan, followed by 401(k) and a dental plan.
The effort to build goodwill using employee benefit plans backfires if employees do not appreciate the value of the benefits, or worse yet, hold the business owner accountable for benefit shortcomings outside of the employer's control.
One of the most common mistakes business owners make is to provide a Defined Benefit type of plan design. These plans are characterized by benefit plans that provide a tightly controlled and limited choice of benefits. In a Defined Benefit plan, the employer actually does the shopping for a benefit product and presents it to the employees as "our benefit plan". These have become known in the by the phrase "one size fits all" plans, referring to the noticeable lack of employee selection. For example, the employer might interview three health plans and three investment companies, and select one of each of them. Each plan might have its unique strengths and weaknesses, but ultimately only one of the three choices was made available to the employees. The employer spends valuable time making a benefits decision that presumes to know what is in the best interest of its employees. Employees view this approach to providing employee benefits as paternalistic. A tangible repercussion of this trend is the increased likelihood of employees complaining to the employer or taking legal action when the employer-selected benefit does not meet performance expectations.
Another problem with these Defined Benefit type plans is dealing with increasing benefit costs. The most common example is cost of health plans. Over the next decade, heath plan costs could easily rise at two or three times the overall rate of inflation. This cost will likely rise faster than any other cost we face in operating a small business. Some business owners respond to this problem by re-shopping benefit plans every year or two, adding further stress to the problems listed above. Other firms respond by adding cost-sharing measures or cutting back benefit levels, neither of which are popular with employees. Some firms absorb the increased cost but adjust other expenses like wage increases to make up the difference. No matter what approach is taken the burden of increased costs rests firmly on the business owner's shoulders.
A much smarter approach to providing employee benefits is the use of a Defined Contribution plan. This type of plan is characterized by the employer defining the dollar amount of benefits available to the employee, and then allowing the employee to arrange her own benefits without restriction. Almost all large employers utilize this approach, but many small employers have been slow to catch-on to the advantages. This is partly due to the marketers of small business insurance and retirement plans who tend to benefit financially from the old defined benefit plans. In general, unlimited employee choice means less business for any one benefits provider, the traditional insurance and investment complies tend to avoid this approach. A growing number of Internet-based firms provide these benefit plans free of charge or at a low fee to small businesses. FreedomBenefits.com provides a comprehensive free benefit plan design that includes a wide range of options suitable for almost any employer. The summary plan description and an example of how a defined contribution plan works is available at FreedomBenefits.com. Tax information for these benefit plans is available on the IRS's Web site at http://www.irs.gov.

Q: Why am I getting std::out_of_range error? I'm trying to make a function that reorders the elements of a vector if it is not in ascending order. I wrote this but when I compile it I get:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::out_of_range' what(): vector::_M_range_check

Could someone tell me what is wrong with my function? Thanks.
void reorder(vector<double>& orderA)
{
    for (unsigned int i = 0; i < orderAngle.size(); ++i)
    {
        temp = orderA.at(i);
        orderA.at(i) = orderA.at(i+1);
        orderA.at(i+1) = temp;
    }

    return;
}

A: 1- As mentioned in the comments by Olzhas, your code will go out of range when i becomes equal to orderAngle.size(), so you need to change your for loop to:
for(unsigned int i = 0; i < orderAngle.size() - 1; ++i)

2- Your algorithm doesn't achieve what you want to achieve.
3- Do you really need to write your own algorithm to sort a vector of doubles?
How about using something like the following code:
sort(vec.begin(), vec.end(), [](double x, double y) {

   return (x < y);
});

Indian PM Modi's mother passes away at age of 99
There is no greater loss than losing a mother, says PM Shehbaz
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's mother, Heeraben Modi, has passed away at the age of 99.
According to Indian media, Heeraben Modi was undergoing treatment at a hospital in Gujarat where her health deteriorated last night medical staff tried their best to save Narendra Modi's mother but she could not recover.
The Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the loss of his mother on Twitter writing, "One advice I will always remember of my mother is to work smartly and live your life with purity."
He further wrote that I have always felt that trinity in mother, which contains the journey of an ascetic, the symbol of a selfless Karmayogi, and a life committed to values.
मैं जब उनसे 100वें जन्मदिन पर मिला तो उन्होंने एक बात कही थी, जो हमेशा याद रहती है कि કામ કરો બુદ્ધિથી, જીવન જીવો શુદ્ધિથી यानि काम करो बुद्धि से और जीवन जियो शुद्धि से।
— Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) December 30, 2022
Prime Minister Pakistan Shehbaz Sharif also expressed his condolences on the death of Narendra Modi's mother saying that there is no greater loss than losing one's mother.

Miami International Airport officials say they'll reopen a terminal Monday that was closed part of the weekend amid a staff shortage caused by the partial government shutdown.
Airport spokesman Greg Chin told news outlets Sunday Concourse G will resume operations Monday after closing for parts of Saturday and Sunday. The airport didn't have enough Transportation Security Administration agents to staff the security checkpoint.
Chin says the checkpoint will be fully staffed Monday.
Many TSA employees have called out sick to protest having to work but not being paid amid the shutdown.
A TSA security checkpoint was closed Sunday afternoon in Terminal B at Houston's Bush Intercontinental Airport and was to stay that way the rest of the day. Officials ascribed the closure to staffing issues associated with the partial shutdown.

Q: Induction proof of transitivity I am trying to solve a three variable induction problem to prove that $e$ is transitive. Formally, the goal is to show:
$∀x∀y∀z:(e(x,y) ∧ e(y,z) ⇒ e(x,z))$
I attempted the complete proof with the below strategy steps, but seem to be hitting a road-block where one inner proof shows the same structure as that of the "Goal" (See step 5 below, where my logic takes me to prove:
$$e(s(x),s(y)) ∧ e(s(y),s(z)) ⇒ e(s(x),s(z))$$
Which step of the strategies written below is incorrect, or am I missing some intermediary proof steps? Is there another way to approach the proof of transitivity? Any advice will greatly help!

Premise:

*

*$e(a,a)$

*$∀x∀y:(e(x,y) ⇒ e(s(x),s(y)))$

*$∀x∀y(e(s(x),s(y)) ⇒ e(x,y))$

*$∀x:-e(a,s(x))$

*$∀x:-e(s(x),a)$
Goal: $$∀x∀y∀z:(e(x,y) ∧ e(y,z) ⇒ e(x,z))$$
For Outermost Induction:
Base Case:
$∀y∀z:(e(a,y) ∧ e(y,z) ⇒ e(a,z))$
Induction Case:
$∀x:(∀y∀z:(e(x,y) ∧ e(y,z) ⇒ e(x,z)) ⇒ ∀y∀z:(e(s(x),y) ∧ e(y,z) ⇒ e(s(x),z)))$
Steps:

*

*Prove Base Case

*Prove Base Case of Inner Induction[1]
$∀z:(e(s(x),a) ∧ e(a,z) ⇒ e(s(x),z))$

*Prove Inductive Case for Inner Induction[1]

$∀y:(∀z:(e(s(x),y) ∧ e(y,z) ⇒ e(s(x),z)) ⇒ ∀z:(e(s(x),s(y)) ∧ e(s(y),z) ⇒ e(s(x),z)))$

*Prove Base Case for Inner Induction[2]

$e(s(x),s(y)) ∧ e(s(y),a) ⇒ e(s(x),a)$

*Prove Inductive Case for Inner Induction[2]

$∀z:(e(s(x),s(y)) ∧ e(s(y),z) ⇒ e(s(x),z)) ⇒ ∀z:(e(s(x),s(y)) ∧ e(s(y),s(z)) ⇒ e(s(x),s(z)))$

A: As Peter Smith wrote, it is unclear what else is assumed as background facts. Clearly you're assuming an induction rule that appears to be copied from Peano Arithmetic (but extended to allow induction over formulas that contain $e$), but how much else from PA do you have?
The language of PA is usually given as $\{{=},0,S,{+},{\times}\}$. Your use of induction seems to require that your $a$ and $s$ are the usual $0$ and $S$, but it looks like your $e$ is an attempt to construct $=$ from scratch without the usual logical equality axioms being stated for it explicitly.
If in addition to $e$ we already have an honest $=$ predicate (with usual equality axioms), as well as at least $+$ and the axioms of PA that don't mention $\times$ -- that is, Presburger arithmetic -- then your assumptions about $e$ are enough to prove $e(x,y)\leftrightarrow x=y$, and thus $e$ must in particular be transitive.
The key steps in this would be first to prove $e(x,x)$ by induction, and then by induction on $x$ prove $\neg e(x,s(x+w))$ and $\neg e(s(x+w),x)$ for fixed $w$. Since Presburger arithmetic proves for any $x$ and $y$ that exactly one of $x=y$ or $\exists w: x=s(x+w))$ or $\exists z: y=s(y+w)$ holds -- for this is true in $\mathbb N$, and Presburger arithmetic is complete -- our goal  $e(x,y)\leftrightarrow x=y$ then follows.

However, the question seems to be more interesting if our language is just $\{a,s,e\}$ so we don't have any primitive equality at all. In that case we can at least manufacture something that behaves like an equality: Define $\approx$ as:
$$ x \approx y \iff \forall z\bigl(e(x,z)\leftrightarrow e(y,z)\bigr) \,\land\, \forall z\bigl(e(z,x)\leftrightarrow e(z,y)\bigr) $$
In other words things are $\approx$ each other if $e$ cannot distinguish them. It is then immediate that $\approx$ is an equivalence relation. We also immediately have
$$ \tag 1 x \approx y \to \bigl( e(x,z) \to e(y,z) \bigr) $$
and
$$ \tag 2 x \approx y \to \bigl( e(z,x) \to e(z,y) \bigr) $$
Since $\approx$ is reflexive it is now an easy induction to prove
$$ \tag 3 x\approx 0 \lor \exists y(x\approx s(y)) $$
and -- now starting to use the explicit premises -- we can now prove
$$ \tag 4 x\approx y \to s(x)\approx s(y) $$
Namely, if $e(s(x),z)$ or $e(s(y),z)$, then $z$ definitely doesn't behave like $0$ in all respect, so due to (3) there is an $s(w)$ that behaves like $z$, and then
$$e(s(x),z)\Leftrightarrow e(s(x),s(w)) \Leftrightarrow e(x,w) \Leftrightarrow e(y,w) \Leftrightarrow e(s(y),s(w)) \Leftrightarrow e(s(y),z)$$
But now (1), (2), and (4) together with being an equivalence relation are exactly what is needed for $\approx$ to be a good equality relation. So without loss of generality we could have assumed that our logic does have a primitive $=$ symbol.
Furthermore it turns out that we necessarily have
$$e(x,y)\leftrightarrow x\approx y$$
The $\leftarrow$ direction is easy, since we already know that $e(x,x)$ directly by induction.
And we can prove $\forall y\bigl( e(x,y) \to x\approx y \bigr)$ by induction on $x$:
In the base case we need to prove $e(0,y)\to 0\approx y$. However, premise 4 says that $y$ cannot be a successor, so $0\approx y$ follows from (3) above.
For the recursion case assume $e(s(x),y)$. As in the argument for (4) above, there must be $w$ such that $s(w)\approx y$. But then $e(s(x),s(w))$ so premise 3 gives $e(s,w)$, and the induction hypothesis followed by (4) then gives us $s(x)\approx s(w)$ which is the same as $s(x)\approx y$, as required.
Since $e$ coincides with $\approx$ which is known to be an equivalence relation, it is in particular transitive.

A: [I tried but, as Henning Makholm noted, quite miserably failed to get a non-standard model of PA extended with $e$ where $e$ fails to be unrestrictedly transitive: but I'll leave this non-answer here to preserve his second comment in particular.]


The jury for the Griffin Poetry Prize described Phil Hall's last book, Killdeer, as "a testament to the creative life as an act of faith and transformation." With the recent publication of his newest book, The Small Nouns Crying Faith (BookThug), Hall continues to test his relationship with language and the world it wanders. His free-flowing, honest craftsmanship is more resonant than the showiest linguistic loop-de-loops, revealing words' beauty and barbs, the fear and the questions at work within even the slightest of our lexicon.
In today's On Writing interview, he lets us in on the questions he was struggling with while writing these poems and describes the "diagonal music" that he strives for in his poetry. And he waves at the deer in the wood outside his window.
Phil Hall will launch The Small Nouns Crying Faith at the BookThug Spring Launch at Toronto's Supermarket this Monday, May 6. Visit Open Book: Toronto's Events page for details.
Tell us about your new book, The Small Nouns Crying Faith. What are some of the ideas and problems you invited while writing these poems?
What does it mean to not write from within the dominant urban amalgam?
What does it mean to choose to write with a rural pen? Like Blake.
What does it mean to try for a singular voice (coughs) when over-population & surveillance prove that no one is a 1 anymore?
The lyric survived the global village; can it survive the virtual global village? The yawp needs a burrow for a throat!
Is there any rural — any rural thought — I?m not talking wilderness, just non-Metropolis — any beyond-the-Pale patterns left to us that aren?t nostalgic blind-folding, & that aren?t mind-cuffed to self-promotion or cartoon interests / enthusiasms?
To even ask such questions is to sound like a crank. So I have sought instead a diagonal music in poems. A collage-method that promotes ?write anything.?
(Laughs) Of course, I don?t write anything. I buff the corners & orchestrate the spaces. Once in a stanza-while, I add a swampy random gizmo & low & behold it works?
Plus triptychs — have interested me in this book: how we speak in threes (the way I repeated ?what does it mean? three times above, for instance), the narrative possibilities & restraints of 3s down through terza rima, religious art panels, the waltz & Francis Bacon?
The imbalance of 3s as a deformity-merit of rhythm?
Or all this put more simply: Why do we — & how can we — still write the same little poems of narrative & comment? The audacity!
In these new tries, every time I invoke ?once upon a time? I kick myself (& the reader).
I kick myself to stop it; I kick the reader for liking it.
In The Small Nouns Crying Faith, words are material objects, culpable, visceral. The line, "There is a song each word sings as it's written long-hand" is only one of several references to the physical writing of words. Do you write your poems longhand, or on computer? Do you feel that the different composition techniques lead to different poems?
Cursive is the incubator. When I suspect a poem of the mystery of thriving, I do transfer it to a screen & follow it with a cursor. I need to see how it will look as type. Eventually, type is its officialdom.
But when my pencil is still the only mouse moving, hairy, I imagine that with practice you, listening, could shut your eyes & guess, by my pencil?s dance, the words I am cursing?
I have wanted these poems to be immediate: the fresh scratch. Past tense begs the reader for emotion while it doles out varnish. I have wanted these poems to appear to be immediate.
Yes, words are culpable — blameworthy. When the word ?it? is applied to a part of the body ? it is culpable for the divisions it helps maintain, though it is only doing its job?(5 X ?it? / 3 X ?is? / 3 X ?the?).
The lyric I — despite its insisted-upon isolation — seeks a blurring of such divisions.
To feel a word as heinous?for instance, the word ?flesh? — it disgusts me, because it is a mortician?s word (objectifying), & often wrongly used as a lover?s word.
And yes, there is a kind of writing that foregrounds as keyboarding. I don?t mean typewriter concrete poems, like Ian Hamilton Findlay?s; I mean typing typing — a computer activity — which produces writing writing.
A poet can burble thoughts into MA-sophisticated chunks of type that generally fall into two categories: I?ve-Read-That-Too or More-Surprised-By-Everything-Than-Thou.
It?s fun, but I hate myself afterwards. I prefer to get up early & chew a pencil.
You write, "There was a time when a man like me / could sit down and draft a competent poem in an hour or two." The collection is haunted with a skepticism towards poetry, your own and also with poetry that is "ironically-renegade." When it sometimes seems that the only question we can ask is "how can the world be like this," how is it that the small nouns can still cry faith?
?The small nouns / crying faith? is a phrase from George Oppen?s poem ?Psalm?
in which he marvels at the unlikely actuality of deer in a wood.
We have deer in our woods. (Takes his hat off.) They eat my sunflowers!
Small nouns still cry faith, though I may have given up on a referent or two. I am not allergic to the word ?horse,? for instance.
Words may be culpable, but their roots are renewably transparent, the follow-through of centuries of precise care.
Which accumulates as ?faith? — dictionaries as far better Bibles, say?
And ?crying? because — well, who cares — who has ever cared — except the one whose shadow stays over the word, studying its fibres?
Irony I don?t trust, especially if it claims to be progressive, for irony is all about cleverness, & ?progress? is a marketing lie.
I?m against cleverness. It does not take brains to make poems; it takes flawed hunches stewing in their own juices, going nowhere except slowly from one old word to another. And back again. Or making some up?
There is no need for a poem to show off. What it needs to do is eat its shadow.
Those who drag the word ?Freedom? around by its hair don?t understand how a faith in small words may be crucial to our survival. To such arbiters, poetry is penny-ante, insane.
The speaker in these poems sees himself as the "conduit," "not the point / but the pointer." Have you always felt this way as a writer?
Well, at first I simply wanted praise. To be praised for being precocious was the point. To be pointed at. Now, yes, I am convinced of the blank-in-training where I stand.
Hafiz says, ?The dust on the window-sill is of more worth than my head.?
I would rather be a Spicer radio, bringing in the voices of those little buggers from outer space, words. To be tuned to hear strange tunes?
As Robert Duncan says, ?Vowels the spirit, consonants the body.?
You've been described as a "surruralist." How do you understand this term and the collision between the rural and the surreal?
I live in a wood by a lake now, & am increasingly attracted to a complex layering of images & rhythms.
I grew up on farms, too. In between, I hid out — sloppily — in cities. I wrote poems for farmers to understand.
But I had a caricature of a farmer in my head. I didn?t know what I was talking about. There are some very un-bucolic, complex & elegant folks who live up rural routes.
They are surreal, as in a photograph taken so close to something that it blurs & is made strange. I want that distorting proximity as well.
To have one?s nose so close to the ?soil? that it becomes ?shale? or ?soup.? I?m getting there. I?m getting back there. I love a floating bridge?
To follow the shore until ?discourse? goes so local it turns to Pig Latin?
I?m teaching at Banff in the fall, the Wired Writing Program.
I want to walk the southern France portion of the Pilgrim?s Way.
I?m working on something long called ?The Ballad of the Rupert Hotel Fire.?
Phil Hall?s most recent book of poems is called The Small Nouns Crying Faith. It came out this May from BookThug. Hall was the 2011 winner of the Governor General?s Literary Award for Poetry in English for his book of essay-poems, Killdeer (BookThug).

Previously, Trouble Sleeping (Brick Books, 2001) was nominated for the Governor General?s Award, and An Oak Hunch (Brick Books, 2005) was nominated for the Griffin Poetry Prize.
He has taught writing and literature at York University, Ryerson University, Seneca College, George Brown College and elsewhere. Currently, he offers a manuscript mentoring service for the Toronto New School of Writing. Hall has recently been writer-in-residence at Queens University & the University of Windsor. In fall 2013 he will be an instructor at the Banff Cenre for the Arts, in the Wired Writing Program.
He lives near Perth, Ontario.

Now that I have the attention of the Star Wars shippers out there…!
August, 2017 marked the nine-year anniversary of the theatrical premiere of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. On March 11, 2013, it was announced that Lucasfilm would be cancelling the beloved television series. Anyone who knows me well, knows that I wept at that announcement, and went through the entire grief process, trying to come to terms with the loss. I pined for the characters, the stories, and just the idea of being able to look forward to each passing week, so I could fill the Star Wars need in my life. I listened to the beautifully compelling musical works of Kevin Kiner, reliving the emotional journey of some of the characters and pivotal scenes.
Four years later, I continue to revisit the series, hoping to glean meaning and further fan sustenance from its episodes. One reason is because I love it so much, but mainly due to the fact that when the episodes were originally released, I had two small(er) boys at home, so I just gobbled up the content without much thought. There were, of course, arcs and specific things that became forever embedded in my psyche with just one viewing, but now, I have the time to sit down and really analyze the series. I have found that I understand so many new connections, have had several revelations and epiphanies, and now appreciate characters that I once just kind of skidded over, thinking they had no real lasting bearing on the Star Wars storyline or timeline.
Case in point: Satine Kryze. Now, I know many of you are thinking "duh, I knew that," but not only have I come to appreciate Satine as a character that holds important weight, I have also found some powerful correlations between she and Padmé, as well as each of these women's relationships with Anakin and Obi-Wan, respectively.
There are so many similarities, in fact, that I believe this to be an argument for a Star Wars Ring Theory candidate. If you are not familiar with Ring Theory, as proposed by Mike Klimo, I highly suggest you check it out. Basically, what Klimo theorizes, is that there are basic elements and/or themes in Star Wars that recirculate throughout the saga. Basically, a "what goes around, comes around" type of thinking.
Padmé was elected queen and ruler of her homeworld, after having serving in the Legislative Youth Program. Satine became Dutchess of Mandalore, ruler of her people, and realigned the government to the New Mandalorian movement.
Padmé sought to liberate Naboo from the Trade Federation, and when she became senator, voted against the Military Creation Act, creating hatred against her ideals and values. Satine sought to bring a more peaceful, pacifist attitude to the previously war-minded Mandalore, creating hatred against her ideals and values.
Padmé co-existed with the Gungans, a cultural subdivision of the Naboo people. They lived separately in the core of the planet, and had their own ruler and government Satine co-existed with the people of Concordia, a group of exiled warriors whose ideals did not agree with the new Mandalorian regime. They lived separately on the moon of Concordia, and had their own ruler and government.
A bounty hunter was sent to eliminate Padmé, sparking an order by the Jedi Council to send Anakin and Obi-Wan to protect her. Later, Padmé and Anakin fled to Naboo in secret in order to keep Padmé safe. It was during this time that the two started developing feelings for each other. As conflict grew, insurgency led to a civil war on Mandalore, sparking an order by the Jedi Council to send Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan to protect Satine. Later, after being attacked by bounty hunters, Obi-Wan and Satine went on the run in order to keep her safe. It was during this time that the two started developing feelings for each other.
Padmé was later attacked a second time by deadly Kouhuns in her apartment, inserted into her apartment by a droid. The creatures were killed by Anakin with his lightsaber. Satine was later attacked a second time by assassin droids on her flagship. The creatures were killed in a joint effort by Anakin, a handful of clone troopers and…the final one met its doom with Obi-Wan's lightsaber.
The attempts on Padmé's life were directly ordered by Count Dooku/Lord Tyrannus, a powerful figure and leader of the Separatist movement. He was opposed to Padmé's stand against the Republic's efforts to build a clone army. Dooku was secretly aligned with Darth Sidious. The attempts on Satine's life were directly ordered by Pre Viszla, Governor of Concordia, and leader of Death Watch. He was opposed to Satine's pacifist ideals and wanted to see Mandalore return to its warrior heritage. Pre Viszla was secretly aligned with Count Dooku.
Padmé became a leading member of The Loyalist Committee during the Clone Wars, with the goal of bringing peace between the Republic and the Confederacy of Independent systems Satine became Regent of the Council of Neutral Systems, a network of over 1,500 systems who wished to remain peaceful, having no part in the war.
Padmé rescued Anakin from dying at the arena on Geonosis. Satine rescued Obi-Wan from dying at the hands of Death Watch.
Obi-Wan senses Anakin's attachment to – and relationship with –Padmé, but overlooks it (until Revenge of the Sith). Anakin senses Obi-Wan's attachment to – and relationship with – Satine, and effectively teases him about it.
Anakin and Padmé pursued their relationship, keeping it a secret, thereby sacrificing their basic values. Ultimately, this led to Padme's death, at the hands of a Sith Lord (Anakin himself, Darth Vader), somewhat as a form of reaction to Obi-Wan's "betrayal." Obi-Wan and Satine refused to pursue their relationship, despite the love they felt for each other, and stayed true to their basic values. Ultimately, their love was used as a catalyst in Satine's death, at the hands of a Sith Lord (Darth Maul), as a form of revenge against Obi-Wan.
I was actually stunned at the amount of correlations/comparisons I was able to produce, and I'm sure there's probably some things that I've missed, so that's where you come in!
What do you think? Is there anything to add here? How do you react to these?
Please leave your comments below, or hit me up on Twitter @JoyceKrebs. I would love to hear your thoughts!
Oh, for all you shippers out there, I also think it pertinent to mention that the official #Obitine week is September 10-16, 2017! I don't think there's an official ship name for Anakin and Padmé. I just made up Padakin on my own … maybe Anamé…? That sounds too much like "Anime" in my opinion!
Be sure to check out the YouTube channel for Clone Wars Conversations with James Arnold Taylor! There's no better way to get a chance to hear great Clone Wars behind-the-scenes stories! One episode in particular you might want to watch is the one where he talks to Satine herself, Anna Graves.
The most popular portmanteau in use among "shippers" for is Padme and Anakin is Anidala.
Thank you for that info!! I never would've thought to put their names together that way!
I especially like the way you set up your table, comparing the links between Padme and Satine and their arcs through the Star Wars storyline.

Thomas Asbridge and Jonathan Phillips
Hay Festival 2004, Friday 4 June 2004
In 1905 at the Clermont Council Pope Urban invented atrocities against Christian pilgrims commited by Muslims in Jerrusalem, so launching a hundred years of sanctimony, sadism and butchery that still resonates throughout the world today. Asbridge describes the First Crusade to capture Antioch and Jerusalem. Phillips recounts the travesty of the Forth Crusade in which Venetian capitalists contrived the sack of Constantinople, the Christian world's wealthiest and most cultured city, so ensuring centuries of Orthodox fury against Catholics.

Charlotte Bronte is another great representative of the Victorian writers whose spirit of observation and masterfully crafted images take us to another realm full of passion and desire. This might sound strange to the contemporary reader whose interpretation of these two words would dramatically differ from those of a Victorian person.
Charlotte Bronte's merit is in depecting the insight of an intelligent, rebellious female character who has to live according the social norms of the time. The author skilfully reveals how the non-conformity of her character conforms to the reality. Her independent personnages all depend on the Victorian rigid patriachal conventions. Yet, they succeed in maintaining their spiritual integrity and find a way to realize their aspirations.
It is basically what she tried to do throughout her life. Hesitatingly, she together with her sisters paved the way for the new, innovative views on women and their place in society. They are the first to question the norms and to look for ways of integrating a woman's passion and desire in the 'men's world'.
Charlotte Bronte tied to made herself heard on the pages of her books. However, she could not disclose her gender, signing her works with the pseudonym "Currer Bell". In a latter she confessed:
"Averse to personal publicity, we veiled our own names under those of Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell; the ambiguous choice being dictated by a sort of conscientious scruple at assuming Christian names positively masculine, while we did not like to declare ourselves women, because—without at that time suspecting that our mode of writing and thinking was not what is called 'feminine' – we had a vague impression that authoresses are liable to be looked on with prejudice; we had noticed how critics sometimes use for their chastisement the weapon of personality, and for their reward, a flattery, which is not true praise."
Due to the success of her novel 'Jane Eyere" she became known and respected in the literary circles of the Victorian age. She was among the first to herald what was afterwards plainly stated in Virginia Woolf's "A Room of One's Own".

Poroshenko says he doesn't intend to dismiss Poltorak, Klimkin after elections
Presidential candidate of Ukraine, incumbent head of state Petro Poroshenko says he does not intend to dismiss either Defense Minister Stepan Poltorak or Ukraine's Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin after the presidential election.
Communicating with journalists at the National Sports Complex Olympiyskiy Stadium in the center of Kyiv on Sunday, where he arrived for a debate with presidential candidate Volodymyr Zelensky, the president recalled that there is the parliamentary-presidential form of government in Ukraine and the president is only authorized to propose the staff of the government. And after the election of the new president the Cabinet of Ministers isn't dissolved. "And I'm not going to sack them - neither the minister of defense, nor the minister of foreign affairs," said Poroshenko.
He added that if he was elected president, after the parliamentary elections, he would exercise his right and would propose appropriate candidates when forming a new government.
Also, the head of state stressed that after the election of a new president, according to the legislation, all heads of regional state administrations resign. "In accordance with the Constitution, all heads of regional state administrations according to the law resign immediately after the completion of the electoral process on electing a new president, regardless of who wins," Poroshenko explained his talking point regarding the personnel resources of the president.

Whitmer announces $405-million plan to enroll more eligible children in GSRP program
Paul Egan
EAST LANSING – Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced a $405-million plan Tuesday to extend the state-funded preschool program to all eligible 4-year-olds.
The governor's plan proposes an additional $255 million in federal dollars and $150 million in state dollars for the Great Start Readiness Program over the next three years.
Currently, only 66% of eligible children statewide are served by either the state-funded preschool program or federal Head Start program, said Whitmer, a Democrat. The plan announced Tuesday would ensure all eligible 4-year-olds are served.
The plan, announced along with Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan and other officials at the MSU Child Development Center in East Lansing, would require approval from the Republican-controlled Legislature.
It relies on federal stimulus money to get started, but administration officials said the plan provides for replacing federal money with state money after three years to make the program sustainable.
"We have a unique opportunity right now to make the type of investments in early education and preschool that will pay massive dividends by improving health, educational and social outcomes for our children decades down the line," Whitmer said in a news release.
"Parents across our state are aware of the importance of early education and now we have to seize this chance to eliminate wait lists for eligible children," Whitmer said. Her proposal "will help narrow the achievement gap between high-income and low-income students. As we put Michigan back to work, parents can go about their workday knowing that their children are learning in a safe and productive environment."
The Great Start Readiness Program provides full- or part-day services to children from families at or below 250% of the federal poverty line, which is $66,250 for a family of four, according to the news release. Along with the federal Head Start program, it provides preschool to 43,100 Michigan children. An estimated 65,400 kids are eligible for the program.

More:Gov. Whitmer vetoes COVID-19 bills related to Michigan graduations, public records
Whitmer's proposed budget for 2022 called for $32.2 million in extra funding for the Great Start Readiness Program. Tuesday's proposal goes further.
In April 2020, Whitmer signed an executive order that suspended in-person instruction of both the Great Start Readiness Program and early childhood programs for the remainder of the 2020 school year.
Whitmer's proposal also calls for an additional $50 million in federal funds to support a successful expansion, through measures such as:
Grants to providers to help ensure an additional 1,500 classrooms are available, at an estimated cost of $22.5 million
An additional $15 million to cover transportation-related costs
About $7 million in scholarships for early educators to ensure teaching staff have proper credentials and are using state-recommended curricula and related materials
About $5.5 million to expand outreach and increase parental awareness of the availability of free programs in their area, and to develop online resources to connect parents with all programs in their area.
Experts say successful preschool is linked to improved literacy performance by third grade, narrowed achievement gaps between low- and high-income students, and improved high school graduation rates.
"Early childhood education is critical for the development and future success of all children," Duggan said. "By investing in universal pre-K education, we can ensure that every Detroit child has the opportunity to get the head start they need."
Though the more than $6.5 billion in federal stimulus money Michigan is receiving under the American Rescue Plan is generally one-time money that cannot easily be used to fund ongoing programs, Michigan Budget Director Dave Massaron said the preschool plan involves "identified resources to ensure we can sustain full access into the future."
Federal funding is only available for the first three years of the expansion, so the plan gradually replaces federal dollars with state dollars. By the fourth year of the expansion, the program would be fully funded with state dollars, officials said. Annual growth in School Aid Fund revenues is expected to more than offset the increased costs.
Massaron said he thinks there is bipartisan support to expand the program.
"Every parent wants the best for their child, starting with an opportunity to attend a high-quality preschool," said House Minority Leader Donna Lasinski, D-Scio Township, who also attended the announcement.
"For many families, this is out of reach. Children who start school behind rarely end up ahead," Lasinski said.
"I am proud to stand with Gov. Whitmer to support this historic proposed investment in the future of our children and state."

North Carolina Workers' Compensation Laws
Home » Workers' Compensation » North Carolina Workers' Compensation Laws
The workers' compensation system in North Carolina is different from North Carolina's tort and negligence systems. It offers injured workers medical benefits and wage replacement. Workers' compensation laws in North Carolina allow you to get benefits for pain and suffering, lost wages, medical expenses, and loss of enjoyment of life. If you are injured on the job or suffer from a work-related illness, workers' compensation benefits may be available to you.
Having been injured on the job for the first time, you probably have no idea what to expect from North Carolina's workers' compensation process. When this claim meets all of these elements, the employee can receive worker wage benefits for their economic losses. It requires a lot of time and effort to file an injury claim for workers' compensation.
The information on this page will give you an idea of how our firm handles workers' compensation claims. If you wish to get answers to your specific questions, contact one of our workers' compensation lawyers in Charlotte today for a free consultation and review of your complaints.
A total of 64,900 illnesses and injuries were reported by North Carolina's private sector employers in 2020, resulting in an incidence rate of 2.1 cases per 100 full-time workers, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
NC Worker Compensation Laws: The Basics
Here are the basics you should know about North Carolina workers' compensation laws.
The History and Regulations of NC Worker Compensation Laws:
According to North Carolina law, the state's Worker Compensation Laws were enacted in 1929. This law requires that any employer with more than three employees have accident insurance coverage. This system is controlled by the North Carolina Industrial Commission.
NC Workers' Compensation Act:
Employers must have workers' compensation insurance that covers their employees, or they must be licensed as a self-insured employer under the North Carolina Workers' Compensation Act. Compensation is offered to employees who become injured while at work and cannot return to work as a result.
Notification Requirements:
A worker who has been injured at work must notify their employer in writing within 30 days of the injury. This notice of injury must be submitted within 30 days following the injury. A concept known as the statute of limitations comes into play in this scenario. The statute of limitations sets a two-year deadline to file a claim for workers' compensation in North Carolina.
Sole, No-Fault Remedy:
Unless an injured employee has certain exceptions, workers' compensation is the only recourse available to them. This means that, except for certain exceptions, an injured employee may only be entitled to workers' compensation benefits in the state of North Carolina.
Consequently, North Carolina workers' compensation claims are completely different than malpractice claims, such as those stemming from car accidents. Employer negligence in causing the accident does not even come into play in workers' compensation claims. Despite the strange-sounding logic, this often works in the employee's favor because in most cases it is much more difficult to prove employer negligence than it is to simply show that the employee was injured in the workplace.
Additionally, many workplace injuries are not caused by negligence on part of the employer. While under the prior system, these employees would not have been entitled to anything, under the new system they would have been entitled to compensation. There were also many provisions under the old system that discharged the employer from any liability, such as the negligence contest.
Limited Benefits – Medical Expenses and Disability:
North Carolina workers' compensation law stipulates two primary benefits for injured employees. This is in exchange for making it relatively easier to hold employers accountable while restricting the benefits an employee may receive. The insurance company covers all accident-related medical costs. Prescription medicines are also covered.
A lot of your medical care is directed by the insurance company. Your workers' compensation lawyers in Charlotte can then file a petition with the Industrial Commission requesting that your choice of doctor be approved if the insurance company refuses. You have the right to seek a second opinion and also to change doctors.
Additionally, the insurance carrier will pay disability benefits. Employees will receive two-thirds (66.66%) of their average gross weekly salary. Disability benefits are tax-free. A doctor must keep the employee away from work with a written excuse if the employee has been unemployed for more than seven days as a result of an injury. The insurance company will pay temporary total disability benefits for all ensuing days as long as the employee remains out of work for more than seven days.
Workers are entitled to partial compensation under the act for permanent partial disability if they suffer a permanent injury to certain parts of the body within the first 7 days, regardless of how long they were absent. Further, if an employee is determined to be totally and permanently disabled, they will be eligible for life insurance benefits that cover future medical bills and disability benefits.
Workers' compensation lawyers in Charlotte will discuss in more detail which benefits are available if one of those two types of disability is present in your case. Workers' Compensation in North Carolina does not provide compensation for pain and suffering.
Dispute Resolution:
You can request a hearing before the Industry Commission if your employer's workers' compensation policy denies your claim. At the hearing, you or your lawyer will present evidence to support your claim. A colleague's testimony that your injury is the result of a work accident, your doctor's assessment of your disability, and relevant papers such as payslips or communications could be provided as evidence.
