Is There Such a Thing as an Under Cabinet Convection Oven?
What Is the Difference Between Convection Oven & Speedbake Oven?
According to General Electric (GE), in 1907, they released their first line of heating and cooking equipment. Ovens that most people are familiar with work by radiant heat and are called conventional ovens. Radiant heat projects electromagnetic radiation in a straight line. In 1945 the first convection oven, which cooks by air movement was created although it was originally called the Maxson Oven. This was two years before the first microwave oven was created. Today, one of the newer technologies is speed bake ovens which uses microwave technology mixed with other cooking methods for rapid cooking.
Top choices for ovens today include, conventional, convection, microwave or speed bake.
According to Fine Cooking, convection ovens use particles such as liquid or air to cook food. The particles move around in all directions in the oven and are not just linear like conventional oven.
The particles are more massive than radiant heat so more energy is released. Because the particles interact with each other, heat is distributed evenly.
Temperatures can be reduced by about 25 degrees from conventional ovens. There are many manufacturers of convection ovens.
GE makes a counter top model referred to as PEB1590SMSS. It is 15-cubic-foot and in 2010 costs between $35000 to $65000.
Examples of other companies producing convection ovens include Sharp, Panasonic, Whirlpool, Bosch and KitchenAid. Companies, including GE have several models with different wattage choices, sizes and prices.
Speed bake, also called speed-cook ovens come in several different configurations. Early models included GE Advantium released in 1999, which combines microwave technology with heat from a halogen light.
Other models combine microwave capabilities with conventional cooking or another version is a hybrid between microwaves and convection cooking. The major advantages to speed bake ovens is that they cook very quickly like a microwave, yet have the browning ability of other ovens.
According to This Old House, it takes, "As little as 25 minutes for a roast chicken, 15 minutes for lasagna, 10 minutes for baked potatoes, 3 or 4 minutes for cookies" This Old House says that some of the major "players" in convection ovens include, "GE Advantium, Jenn-Air Accellis 5XP, Maytag Accellis 2X, Thermador CM and KitchenAid Ultima Cook".
Speed bake ovens typically are smaller than convection or conventional ovens. Many are the size of a microwave.
The smaller types have a capacity of a ten to twelve pound bird such as a chicken or turkey. A speed bake oven does not allow multi-racks like a convection oven.
Examples of cubic foot capacity include GE Advantium at 12, Jenn-Air Accellis 5XP at 10, Maytag Accellis 2X at 41 and KitchenAid Ultima Cook at 14.
The price range for a speed bake oven is a definite disadvantage at $1,300 to over $5,000 in 2010. For example, the KitchenAid Ultima Cook costs from $1,469 to $1,519 for a single oven and $3,399 to $3,789 for [a double oven](https://homesteadycom/about-6497673-double-oven-html) with a 14 cubic foot capacity.
The price places this out of reach for many consumers. Convection ovens are very low priced for the smaller ovens.
Prices start at around one hundred dollars, although they can also go up to thousands of dollars depending on size and features.
The intensity of heat can cause "splattering" and the need for frequent cleaning of speed bake ovens. Some models do come with self cleaning and should be a consideration when purchasing.
Noise may also be a factor for models that have convection type fans. However, convection ovens have the same issue.
The noise factor may be a purchase consideration.
Speed bake ovens cannot cook food that requires low temperatures such as keeping foods warm or slowly braising food. According to This Old House, "Bakers often prefer other ovens for cakes".

ROGER AMORY & others vs. ASSESSORS OF BOSTON.
Citizens and taxpayers of a municipality purporting to proceed in the public interest and alleging an improper practice by the assessors of overvaluing taxable property to evade the laws respecting municipal appropriations and indebtedness were not entitled to a writ of mandamus to compel the assessors to perform their duty under G.L. (Ter. Ed.) c. 59, Section 38, by valuing taxable property at its "fair cash valuation."
PETITION, filed in the Superior Court on March 4, 1940.
The case was reported by Forte, J.
R. H. Hopkins, Assistant Corporation Counsel, (N. Moger, Assistant Corporation Counsel, with him,) for the respondents.
A. Lincoln, for the petitioners.
COX, J. This is a petition for a writ of mandamus. The trial judge in the Superior Court overruled the demurrer that was filed and reported the case to this court (G.L. [Ter. Ed.] c. 213, Sections 1A, 1B, inserted by St. 1939, c. 257) upon the stipulation that, if his ruling was right, the writ is to issue as prayed for, otherwise the demurrer is to be sustained.
rights of taxpayers whose property has been, or will be, overvalued, "for violation of which rights a statutory remedy by abatement proceedings is provided." The petitioners pray that a writ of mandamus issue commanding the respondents "to perform their official duties fairly and reasonably and to refrain from valuing taxable property in the city of Boston otherwise than at its fair cash value in accordance with their honest judgment," and for other appropriate relief.
It is unnecessary to recite the grounds of the demurrer except the following: "(1) The substitute petition does not set forth any case calling for relief by mandamus. (2) The petitioners do not allege any facts entitling them to the relief for which they pray. (3) There is other adequate relief afforded by the laws of this Commonwealth for the wrongs, if any, which the petitioners claim have been done or are about to be done. (4) The duty which the petitioners seek to have enforced is a statutory one for which the statutes have provided a remedy, superseding any remedy which might otherwise be available."
list that ". . . [the list] is a full and accurate assessment upon all the property of each person, liable to taxation, at its full and fair cash value, according to . . . [their] best knowledge and belief." The meaning of the phrase "fair cash value" in relation to taxation is dealt with in Massachusetts General Hospital v. Belmont, 233 Mass. 190, 205-208. We are of opinion that the demurrer should be sustained.
The petitioners assert no private rights as taxpayers. If they did, their exclusive remedy for overassessment would be the statutory proceeding for abatement. Harrington v. Glidden, 179 Mass. 486. Central National Bank v. Lynn, 259 Mass. 1, 6-7. Wynn v. Assessors of Boston, 281 Mass. 245, 248. See G.L. (Ter. Ed.) c. 59, Section 59, as inserted by St. 1939, c. 250, Section 1; Section 64, as inserted by St. 1938, c. 478, Section 1 (see St. 1939, c. 31, Section 6) and by St. 1939, c. 366, Section 2; and Section 65, as inserted by St. 1939, c. 31, Section 7.
In addition, however, to the statutory remedies that are available to the individual taxpayer who is aggrieved, G.L. (Ter. Ed.) c. 40, Section 53, provides, in part, that "If a town or any of its officers or agents are about to raise . . . money . . . in any manner other than that . . . in which such town has the legal and constitutional right and power to raise . . . money . . ., the supreme judicial or superior court may, upon the petition of not less than ten taxable inhabitants of the town, determine the same in equity, and may, before the final determination of the cause, restrain the unlawful exercise or abuse of such corporate power." In Dowling v. Assessors of Boston, 268 Mass. 480, it was said that assessors of taxes came within the descriptive terms of this section, and its words authorize a petition not only when the city or town, but also when any of its officers or agents, are about to raise money for unwarranted purposes and "in an unwarranted manner" (page 484).
out in that case, whatever may be the rule where mandamus is asked for to enforce a common law right, it does not apply to a right given by statute for enforcement of which a special statutory remedy is given that is adequate and effectual, even if that remedy be on the equity side of the court (page 298). In Cox v. Malden & Melrose Gas Light Co. 199 Mass. 324, it was held that a bill in equity brought under the general principles of equity jurisdiction would not lie where the plaintiff had an adequate and effective remedy at law by mandamus. Department of Public Utilities v. Trustees of New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad, 304 Mass. 664, was a petition for a writ of mandamus to compel the respondents to comply with the terms and conditions of an order of the petitioner. It was held, under the principle stated in the Selectmen of Gardner case, that since a special statutory remedy in equity that was adequate and effective was available to the petitioners, it was their exclusive remedy and that their petition for mandamus could not be maintained (page 675 and cases cited). It was pointed out, at page 675, that the Cox case, relied on by the petitioners, was not an authority to the contrary, as in that case relief in equity was denied to the plaintiff but no special statutory remedy in equity was available, and the plaintiff's remedy at law by way of mandamus was perfect.
We are of opinion that in the case at bar the petitioners have an adequate and effective remedy under the statute which they must be held to pursue, if they are so advised, and that the demurrer should be sustained.

I had my first real thought of having a cigarette today. I didn't think I would have a problem when the first one came eventually. It's been a very trying day in the family. A time that used to end up with me going out in the garage for a smoke, get away from it and chill out. Then come back in the house and walk on egg shells the rest of the day to not stir up the brew. I REALLY WANTED to continue that pattern. It was my security blanket as it were. It took everything I had in me to make myself at least postpone that first step. I went and sat down in the living room debating the scenario when the letters N O P E slammed me in the head. I have worked so hard and been throwing up every day for nearly 2 weeks and I was going to have to go through it all again, even if I it was just a few puffs? N.O.P.E. I made a promise to my family and a daily pledge to never again poison myself with tar, nicotine, and whatever other chemicals they use in the process, all rolled in a chemically-coated piece of paper. That one acronym, remembering my commitment, some deep breathing and a quiet sob and I managed to slowly work my way through. I think the first real craving to repeat an old habit is the worst! I pulled through without lighting up!! I'm so glad I did it too. It makes my commitment to being smoke free stronger. It gave me a little hope that the next time I REALLY WANT to smoke I will look back and remember that I made it through the first one and how happy I am that I didn't give in to it or give up my goal. Thanks to all of you here on this wonderful site, this could have gone the other way but it DIDN'T!
You learned your lessons well. I am SO proud of you. The next time it WILL be easier!
YOU should be proud of you, too!
minihorses I am SO HAPPY to hear this, what wonderful news. NOPE got me through many difficult times and I have passed that acronym along to others because it meant so much to me. I am sorry you had such a trying time but so proud of you for getting through it. I used to go outside onto the deck and just take some deep breaths and recenter myself, much like what you did going to the living room. Keep in mind that every crave you conquer, you get stronger and the craves WILL get weaker.
WONDERFUL!!!! kEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. nEVER GIVE UP NEVER GIVE IN.
Congratulations, you handled it like a pro! And the more similar situations you'll be having to get through, the better it gets! With every event you've conquered, you gain more and more trust in your ability to step away from the addiction, and you gain more and more tools to get over it, to ride the crave.
You did great! Keep doing what you are doing, it's working; stick with your decision, practice the deep breathing, step away from the garage, and you will be fine, and better and better each time.
And these cravings will eventually become more and more spaced out, and less and less intense. Great job!

Pro-Trump Chalkings Cause Stir at Emory
Scott Jaschik
Someone chalked "Trump 2016" at many places on the Emory University campus, and many students demanded that the university take action, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. An email from Emory's president, James Wagner, said that he met with many students who were upset by the chalkings and that he understood their pain.
"The students shared with me their concern that these messages were meant to intimidate rather than merely to advocate for a particular candidate, having appeared outside of the context of a Georgia election or campus campaign activity. During our conversation, they voiced their genuine concern and pain in the face of this perceived intimidation," Wagner wrote. "After meeting with our students, I cannot dismiss their expression of feelings and concern as motivated only by political preference or oversensitivity. Instead, the students with whom I spoke heard a message, not about political process or candidate choice, but instead about values regarding diversity and respect that clash with Emory's own."

Richard Casey, 79, of Shell Knob, died Saturday, June 24. Services will be held at 2 p.m. Wednesday, June 28, at Fohn Funeral Home in Shell Knob.
Jo Lynn Ford, 58, of Monett, died Sunday, June 25, at Cox-South Medical Center in Springfield. Services are pending at this time. Arrangements are under the personal care and direction of Buchanan Funeral Home, Monett.
Jerry M. Sands, 49, of Aurora, died Monday, June 19, at the Mercy Hospital in Aurora. No services are planned at this time. Arrangements are under the direction of the Crafton-Cantrell Funeral Home, in Aurora.
Monett police, firefighters and Barry-Lawrence Ambulance crews responded to a motorcycle accident at 4:54 p.m. on Saturday on Highway 60.
The Kelly Creek channel through Monett took a significant beating from rains. After the downpour at midday on Friday, the channel turned into a noisy torrent.


I think I made 11 costumes for Krewe du Vieux this year, but I guess these two looks would count as twins. They were made for a couple with a lot of complimentary material swapping between the garments. Though fine city folk now, these two are originally from swampier lands and called themselves the Lost Bayou Ravers (a play on local band Lost Bayou Ramblers).
His costume consisted of a long sleeve undershirt made of laser-cut spandex over green micro mesh; a wide-mesh tank top; LED headpiece; goggles made from plastic bottles; the JNCO-inspired sequin pants with cargo pockets and light-up suspenders; and sequin manties worn underneath.
Her costume was a snap-crotch bodysuit made from mesh and foil spandex with built-in bra; a hood covered in beaded appliques, ruffles, and EL wire; wide-mesh tights; aqua metallic leggings; a glitter vinyl fanny pack with plastic fish in a bowl; and leg warmers made from crawfish sacks. Whew!
Most of the costumes I make aren't quite as involved as these, so I appreciate the opportunity to really explore an aesthetic through fabulous details and flashy accessories. Almost all of the fabrics and appliques came from Jefferson Variety.
Gus got lots of great action shots of these two! They totally embodied their characters and brought the costumes to life, and people later told me that they really stood out in the crowd of paraders.

Clarification of Statement in September 26 News Release
Millennial Lithium Corp. (ML: TSX-V), ("Millennial" or the "Company") would like to clarify certain disclosure made in its news release dated September 26, 2016. That news release stated:
"Millennial plans to apply its rapid development strategy to the Cauchari East Property. Pending government and community approvals, the Company will rapidly advance through geophysics to drilling in order to make a quick assessment of resources, and as warranted add Cauchari East as another production unit to the "pipeline" of their lithium production assets."
First, the wording "assessment of resources" is premature. There is no geological report outlining a resource on any of the Company's properties and they are not at an advanced exploration stage at which a resource, if any, could be delineated or calculated.
Secondly, the Company is not currently in production. Its properties are at an exploration stage and the outcome of further exploration, including any geophysics or drilling, and other factors as well as any feasibility study that may be undertaken will determine if production is feasible from any of its properties.
Thus, the Company wishes to amend its statement to more correctly read:
"Millennial plans to apply its rapid development strategy to the Cauchari East Property. Pending government and community approvals, the Company will advance through geophysics to drilling in order to make, in as short an amount of time as possible, an assessment of resource potential. As warranted, the Company plans on advancing the project through the necessary work and studies to estimate a resource and, if a resource can be proven, to determining if commercial production is feasible."
This news release has been reviewed by Iain Scarr, VP of Development and Exploration, of the Company and a qualified person as that term is defined in National Instrument 43-101.

If you're looking for gentle and feminine outfit ideas to repeat, then you should continue to read this article. Today I've prepared for you adorable and unique looks with light pink pants for coming spring (and some of them you can try for summer too). Great news is that pale pink clothes look perfect on everyone, so no matter what skin color and hair color you have, you can boldly choose light pink pieces of clothes. So now you can scroll down to find out some fashion tips and new combinations. Enjoy!
If you want to create official looks, you can combine your high-waisted wide-leg pale pink trousers with a classic white button down shirt, a crop pastel color jacket and choose neutral shoes and a bag. You can also make almost monophonic looks picking up same color long blazer and pumps and adding a black leather bag or a printed clutch as contrasting details. Light pink clothes match perfectly with navy pieces of clothes (such as striped jackets, shirts or even big totes) and polka dot ones, so if you need to make a casual outfit, you can mix a polka dot shirt, light pink skinny pants, a denim jacket and black flats. Don't forget about light coats (mini or midi ones), for example, you can take a duster coat and pair it with straight pants, wide brim hat and heels.
Creating casual looks pay your attention to denim shirts (combine them with pale pink jeans and trendy metallic shoes) and navy blue sweaters and shirts (you can mix them with straight or skinny trousers, brown or golden flats, a mini leather crossbody bag). For gentle and girlish image take a gray loose pullover or a gray crop shirt and mix it with cuffed pants and a wide brim hat.

State of Green Business
2015 State of Green Business Report
Can sustainable companies get a lower cost of capital?
Libby Bernick
Monday, March 4, 2019 - 1:55am

Adapted from State of Green Business 2019, published by GreenBiz in partnership with Trucost, part of S&P Global.
Green bonds have been making headlines in the sustainable finance world the past few years because of their rapid growth. Emerging this year as a rising star in sustainable finance are green and sustainability loans. What has caught the eye of corporate finance and treasury departments is that these loans are often tied to a lower lending rate for companies that can improve their performance on sustainability measures.
Sustainability as a path to lower borrowing costs could be a game-changer.
Green- and sustainability-linked loans reached $36.4 billion while green bond issuance topped $182 billion in 2018 according to BNEF. Since Lloyds Bank's pioneering effort in 2016, with about $1.27 billion earmarked for loans for greener real estate companies in the United Kingdom, other banks have stepped in (including leaders ING Bank and BNP Paribas) and green loans are spreading to many regions and sectors.
Companies in many industry sectors are taking advantage of sustainability-linked lending, including food and beverage giants such as Danone ($2.5 billion loan), Olam ($500 million) and Wilmar ($200 million), and other sectors such as energy (Iberdrola, $6.7 billion), technology and healthcare (Phillips, $1.25 billion) and materials (Royal DSM, $1.25 billion). BBVA ignited the spread of green lending with the first green corporate loan in Latin America, to Iberdrola, and the first in the United States, to Avangrid ($2.5 billion).
For some companies, lending rates are tied to an improvement in overall corporate sustainability or environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance, while other loans are linked to specific measures such as reducing GHG emissions.
Why are banks offering lower rates to sustainability leaders? Mounting evidence shows that companies with a focus on financially material sustainability or ESG issues outperform others and should represent a lower credit risk. Lenders also note that a company's focus on sustainability performance can be a measure of innovation as well as an indicator of good management.
Mounting evidence shows that companies with a focus on financially material sustainability or ESG issues outperform others and should represent a lower credit risk.
For companies, ESG- or sustainability-linked loans, also known as positive-incentive loans, provide a lower lending rate or pricing reward for a company's sustainability leadership. Unlike green bonds, these sustainability-linked loans can be used for corporate general purpose, not just specific green projects or technologies. The borrower must quantify and report its environmental or sustainability benefits each year to the lender, but in general, these loans are often easier to arrange than bonds and have lower lending thresholds, making them more accessible to smaller companies.
Like many other aspects of green finance, green loans sprouted in Europe. The foundations were laid in March 2018 with the issuance of the Green Loan Principles by the Loan Market Association in conjunction with the International Capital Market Association, which also administers the Green Bond Principles. These organizations collaborated to align the Green Bond and Green Loan Principles, learning from what already had been done on the Green Bond Principles rather than creating a competing framework, as so often has been the case in the sustainability industry. In addition to these standard-setting activities, the EU High-Level Expert Group has included policy recommendations to the European Commission on sustainable finance and green lending.
Credible measures for companies to quantify ESG performance are also fueling growth. To date, most sustainability-linked loans are based on a company's ESG data or third-party ESG ratings. There are no overarching guidelines or standards for sustainability-linked loans, so banks are moving rapidly to develop their own green lending practices aligned with their performance measures in their business strategies. For companies, this means that they should understand and be able to communicate to their lenders how their sustainability or ESG performances are tied to financial performances, such as revenue growth or lower lending risk.
There are no overarching guidelines or standards for sustainability-linked loans, so banks are moving rapidly to develop their own green lending practices.
The emergence of companies quantifying their performance on the U.N. SDGs will create another means for banks to align positive impact lending with companies that are able to show improved SDG performance. Last year, for example, 13 companies from the United States, Europe, Asia and Latin America — Aguas Andinas, AMD, Arm, CLP Holdings, HP Inc., Iberdrola, Ingersoll Rand, Ørsted, ROCKWOOL Group, S&P Global, Spectrum Brands Holdings, Tarkett and Walgreens Boots Alliance — quantified their baseline SDG scores and are poised to track improvements over time.
Early adopters such as ING Bank, BNP Paribas and BBVA continue to break new ground. ING has done 15 green loans and holds 15 percent of its portfolio in "responsible finance," with an aim to double that by 2022. BNP Paribas says interest rates tied to sustainability and ESG performance are where banking is headed. "A transaction that demonstrates that delivering on sustainability will ultimately drive economic performance? Yes, this is the future of banking," says Yann Gerardin, head of corporate and institutional banking at BNP Paribas.
Now that the innovators and early adopters are issuing green loans, getting to a wider scale and reaching the middle market of corporate borrowers will require standardization of terminology and better transparency on ESG. Companies that have invested in sustainability programs, built capacity to manage environmental and social issues across their business functions such as supply chain and risk, and that have taken steps to quantify their performance will be well positioned to take advantage of these loans.

LG Electronics: Enhancing Customer Experience Through Sustainability


Heavily built young woman Kaisu comes to work in a small grocery store in the countryside, run by a bossy old lady and her tiny and quiet grown-up son Erni. Faced with a common enemy, the unlikely young couple find support in each other, despite their physical differences.
The movie Liian paksu perhoseksi, released in 1998, features 10 songs from artists like Mantovani and Orchestra, Aikamiehet, Eino Virtanen and Paula Koivuniemi. What is your favorite song from Liian paksu perhoseksi?


: Winning a million dollars isn't everything!
It's been four and a half years since Bob Reid became an almost-millionaire.
It was big news at the time; 27 employees at Powco Steel Ltd had their ticket come up and won $24.5 million. Three women, 24 men. Two from the office, the rest from the plant. Some really young. Some, like Bob at age 40, with no paycheque left at the end of the month.
So, what's it like? And what happened? And where's Bob today?
Well, winning nearly a million hasn't been the best thing that ever happened to him.
"When you're used to a simple lifestyle, living paycheque to paycheque and all of a sudden you have $800,000, it changes your life. Who's your real friend? Who are just well wishers? Who's this long lost cousin who's asking for money?
"When you don't have much, nobody's much interested in you and your friends are pretty genuine. But it changes people around you when you've got money."
Bob points out that $800,000 is a lot of money, but not enough to help out everyone who asked for help.
As the 27 employees climbed into a bus to make the trip to the Ontario Lottery Corporation, shortly after their January, 2008 win, they were excited, happy, and feeling pretty lucky. They had been buying tickets in a loosely-structured who's-in-this-week? kind of way for years. And some of the guys who'd bought before felt they should be in on the winning ticket. A call from a vacationing colleague in Poland started the ball rolling and it was three months before the winners had their money, less $300,000 in legal fees.
That took the glory out of the win. In fact, Bob says he took two weeks holidays after the win and just didn't go back. Within six weeks, 8 to 10 employees had left because of the animosity that occurred.
Bob lived off his savings for awhile and tried to be wise about his purchases. He owns his house outright, and put a lot into savings, safe investments like GICs. He has taken a few trips, one to Jamaica, down to Halifax, to Cape Breton and the Cabot Trail. He says he'd do his investing a bit differently if he could do it over again.
He'd also like to get back to work. He thought about starting a business, but he's just not hammered down what he would do. He worked in the business end of manufacturing his whole life.
Bob still buys lottery tickets--always 649--but always on his own. He says any group buying tickets is nuts to do it unless they have a legal contract and very specific organization around it. "Greed comes out at the most unusual times," he says.
He's quick to identify the worst part of a lottery win... losing friends, having a lawsuit to deal with, greed of people you thought you knew, change of working environment... all negative results of what should have been a happy occasion.
But along with the bad is the good, too. He owns his house. He has two really good friends left from his Powco and lottery ticket days. He's glad he was wise about his purchases. He has some financial security but not enough that he can sit back and never work again. Which is a good thing.
"Looking back, there's definitely a big identity crisis involved with winning the whole thing," says Bob. "I wish it hadn't happened the way it did. It's a far cry from what you see on TV. But I don't have days that I wish the win hadn't happened."
And yet, there's what he can make of tomorrow that really matters.
Thanks, Bob. This is a big occurrence in anybody's life and your honesty helps others.

Here Are the 12 New Books You Should Read in August
By Laura Zornosa
If August represents the last delicious dregs of summer, the right books will help you savor it. Mika in Real Life packs in more than enough laugh-out-loud relatability and stirring romance to satisfy those looking for one last beach read. Walking Gentry Home, A Map For the Missing, and Afterlives all ground readers in the specificity of history—a Black matriarchal family tree, China during and after the Cultural Revolution, and East Africa amidst German colonization—fixing us in pockets of time. And the folk magic of Witches offers an enchanting distraction from the coming end of the season.
Here, the best new books to read in August.
The Last White Man, Mohsin Hamid (Aug. 2)
Anders, a young white man, wakes up one morning to find that he has turned "a deep and undeniable brown." At first, he shares the discovery only with Oona, his old friend turned new lover, but soon the whole town starts to transition. Both Anders' and Oona's parents struggle with the seemingly inevitable change, but once the titular last white man—Anders' father—dies, people begin to forget that whiteness ever existed. Author Mohsin Hamid told Oprah Daily that all of his characters experience the loss of whiteness in different ways, and a "profound destabilization" emerges. "There is a basic human desire to be led away from destabilization," Hamid said. "But also a vital need to take an imaginary journey through it."

Walking Gentry Home, Alora Young (Aug. 2)
At just 19, Alora Young, former Youth Poet Laureate of the Southern United States, has written a lyrical debut book in verse that traces her matrilineal family history through time. She starts with Amy, the first of her foremothers to arrive in Tennessee; next is Gentry, Young's great-grandmother who was driven into marriage at 14; and finally, there is Young's own mother, a teenage beauty queen. "The only way to tell this story is through poetry," Young writes, "because Black girlhood is eternally laced with rhythm, from the Negro hymns Amy Coleman whispered as she bore her enslaver's child to the rhythm of the gospel my mother sang at fifteen when she was hailed a child prodigy."

Q: Alternating hamiltonian cycles is in NP-complete • Alternating-Hamiltonian-Cycle: Given a graph G = (V, E), and a subset A ⊆ V of its vertices,
does there exist a Hamiltonian Cycle of G, such that the cycle alternates between vertices in A and
vertices in V \ A?
For example, if V = {a1, a2, a3, b1, b2, b3} and A = {a1, a2, a3}, and there were edges between every
vertex, then the answer would be YES, because {a1, b1, a2, b2, a3, b3, a1} is both a Hamiltonian cycle
and alternates between vertices in A and vertices not in A.
For some questions like above, how can we prove that alternating hamiltonian cycle is in NP-complete?
I could prove that it is in NP, but do not know how to reduce problem from NP-hard...
I am confused about the word "Alternating" Hamiltonial cycle.
Thanks in advacnce!

A: Yes, the problem of finding an alternating Hamiltonian cycle with respect a subset of all vertices (the alternating hamiltonian cycle problem) is a NP-complete problem.
To prove, let us reduce the directed Hamiltonian cycle problem, one of Karp's 21 NP-complete problems, to the current problem by a polynomial-time reduction.
Let $G$ be an directed graph with vertices $V$. For each vertex $u$ in $G$, we create four new vertices, $u_{in}, u_{left},u_{right}, u_{out}$ and three undirected edges $(u_{in},u_{left}),(u_{left},u_{right}),(u_{right}, u_{out})$.  For each directed edge $(u, v)$ is in $G$, we create an undirected edge $(u_{out},v_{in})$. Let $G'$ be the graph with all created vertices and edges. Consider the subset of all vertices $A$ which consists of all vertices $u_{out}$ and $u_{right}$ for $u\in G$. It is not hard to see that Hamiltonian cycles in $G$ are in one-to-one correspondence with alternating Hamiltonian cycles in $G'$ with respect to subset $A$. So we have reduced the directed Hamiltonian cycle problem to the alternating Hamiltonian cycle problem. We can see easily that this reduction is a polynomial-time reduction.
(In fact, the problem of finding an alternating Hamiltonian cycle is none other than the problem of finding a Hamiltonian cycle in a bipartite graph. My proof just follows the question 4 of an exercise).

Philip Leslie Boswell
Name on Memorial: Boswell, P L
Memorial Panel: Left
Full Name: Philip Leslie Boswell
Service Details: 5184269, 2nd Bn., Gloucestershire Regiment
Place of Birth: Chipping Norton
Son Of: John William and Maud Mary Boswell, of Grimsbury
Mother's Maiden Name: Gough
Parents' Marriage Details: Chipping Norton Dec-18
Husband Of: unknown
Wife's Maiden Name: unknown
Marriage Details: unknown
Cemetery: OYE-PLAGE COMMUNAL CEMETERY
Philip Boswell of Kings Sutton died at Dunkirk on May 27th 1940, just 6 weeks after his 20th birthday. Few of his battalion, the Gloucestershire Regiment, returned home. His sister, Mrs B Barnes, was very happy when her brother's name was added to the Banbuy Memorial in 2003, thanks to the work of Mr Harry Cowie
Philip Boswell was born on 6th April 1920, the eldest child of John William and Maud Mary Boswell. After leaving school he worked with his father on a farm, before joining the army voluntarily when he was 16 or 17.
At the end of May 1940, just 6 weeks after his 20th birthday, Philip's battalion (2nd Battalion, Gloucestershire Regiment) was holding the town of Cassel, as part of a defensive line allowing others to be evacuated from Dunkirk. They were ordered to hold the line at all costs, which they did for 3 days, eventually fighting from house to house. Few of this battalion returned home. Philip was killed on the 27th May and buried in Oye-Plage Communal Cemetery.
Philip had joined up while his parents were living at Kings Sutton in the 1930s, so he was originally listed on the Kings Sutton War Memorial – incorrectly, however, as John William Boswell. This mistake was rectified when the memorial was re-dedicated recently.
Philip's parents moved to West Street, Grimsbury in the 1940s and so his name was added to the Banbury World War Two Memorial in 2003.
We are grateful to Mrs Shirley Bradnam for this information.

Cost-Savings, Customer Engagement Top Drivers of Automation, Says Report
By RPA Staff April 6, 2021
Nearly 80 percent of U.S. and U.K. businesses plan to increase investment in automation in the next 12 months, according to a new report. That's on top of a 2020 during which the pandemic caused nearly half (48 percent) to accelerate automation projects already in the works. In other words, the automation that isn't already in place is coming to your industry soon.
In a year when economic disruption devastated many industries, it's not surprising that the SnapLogic report found 63 percent of IT decision-makers polled cited cost savings as the biggest driver of automation implementations. Other factors respondents identified as top drivers include increasing customer engagement and satisfaction (60 percent) and increasing employee productivity (59 percent).
While RPA and intelligent automation have been seen in many quarters as democratizing technology, about two-thirds of IT decision makers (68 percent) overall reported they started by automating IT processes before extending the ability to business lines. U.K. companies, however, were more likely than their U.S. counterparts to start in finance or sales.
"It's clear that automation has helped many businesses adapt and respond to the disruption caused by Covid-19," said Craig Stewart, CTO at SnapLogic. "Automation has not only saved organizations time and money, but it's also facilitated faster response times to business demands. This has enabled employees to focus on value-adding tasks over the mundane, repetitive ones, which in turn has helped organizations more quickly meet changing customer expectations. With uptake anticipated to increase in the coming year, it is essential for IT and business leaders to equip themselves with the right strategies, tools, and best practices to implement automation to its full effect."

Because Africa is known for its wide adoption of mobile phones even in the remote parts of the continent. Thanks to newsstand-like mobile app WhyBlueSky started improving education in Nigeria.
Nigeria is a huge, English-speaking country with almost 200 million inhabitants. 46 percent of them lives in extreme poverty. The education is free and government-supported, however, there are not enough places in schools. In Lagos, the largest city and former capital, with 21 million citizens, there are fewer than 2 thousand public and 20 000 private schools. Access to educational innovation is highly limited.
All these circumstances were a motivation to create the educational project based on mobile technology. The goal was to give educators from Nigeria accessibility to modern teaching methods, which were out of their reach before.
How was it possible that the idea of the mobile academy for Nigeria turned into such a powerful achievement? What was the beginning of this project? And what role does PressPad mobile publishing platform play in this process?
I talked about all those intriguing details with Ewa Golik, a member of WhyBlueSky team.
Ewa, could you explain what exactly is your product and how it works?
All these components are centered around the mobile app. We include additional features like offline workshops. WhyBlueSky also sells content licenses to edu-trainers and educators.
So many possibilities! What was the inspiration to start this project?
Agata Wilam, the CEO, co-founded the Children's University Foundation in 2007. It grew to become the biggest European after-school program for kids. The program is based on live events with scientists, practitioners, innovators, etc. Until 2015, when Agata left for WhyBlueSky, it engaged over 600 000 kids, parents, scientists and teachers. The CU team figured that it is a pity that only children who live in cities where the CU is present can benefit from the program. They decided to create online lesson plans – based on live events – for teachers to download and to be able to reproduce the exact same teaching in classrooms. The platform with lesson plans received the Google Rise Award in 2014. Then, Agata decided to go global and this is how WhyBlueSky was born in 2015.
Why did you decide to dedicate your materials to teachers from Nigeria?
Google Analytics advised us so 🙂 We've looked at the statistics and figured out it might be a good market for our product.
But the beginning was quite different. Our direction was natural for majority of startups – we decided to target the USA with our lesson plans and make the product recognized. After a while, we figured that American market is spoiled with innovative educational products and teachers are not too keen on using yet another novelty.
In Nigeria, access to educational innovation is limited, same as to the internet which is relatively expensive too. However, almost all Nigerians have mobile phones and can access internet this way. For our courses, they do not need much of internet access – they only need it to download the courses and then they can use them offline, which is a huge advantage.
…get accessibility for our clients – they would not be able to use our product if it wasn't delivered through the mobile app. So we've gained quite a lot thanks to PressPad solution 🙂 At this point over 1500 teachers have benefited from our course, and we expect many more soon.
I understand. What value do you see in the mobile applications from PressPad?
They're light and allow for the offline usage. It really is THE thing. This means the innovative content we distribute is accessible for our clients, which is the core of our value proposition. Also, we like the fact that we can easily replace the files after we have upgraded the content in any way.
Aga Guzik, one of the WhyBlueSky founders, explaining the WhyBlueSky app. Benin City, 2018.
WhyBlueSky provides self-study solutions to teachers from Nigerian schools from all market segments. I use the term "market segments" as so far we have worked with private schools. You should not be mislead by that term private school though. In Nigeria, there are not enough public schools to accommodate all children from the rapidly growing population. Therefore, private schools have mushroomed, but a lot of those are low-income schools, serving low-income families – in Europe we associate private schools with something targeted at a richer crowd.
With the lowest-income schools, we use flexible pricing: a given school pays for the program the equivalent of a yearly fee it charges for just 1 student. In many cases the yearly payment amounts to as little as 15 000 NGN, which translates into almost 42 USD.
You've got your own custom free samples. How does it work for you?
It gives the idea of the product before the purchase decision. Most of the times our prospective clients say that it is not enough for them though – we understand that and it gives us space for further talks with them.
This teacher app allows the controlled distribution of PDF educational materials.
Selling product needs a promotion strategy. What does it look like in your case?
We partner with local organizations that associate schools – this way it is easier for us to gain access to prospective customers. We use Facebook too. We do a bit of cold mailing. We participate in conferences/fairs from time to time.
We communicate with our users via WhatsApp groups. WhatsApp as a medium is very popular in Nigeria and it works quite well. Teachers share photos and videos of their work with us, they ask questions and comment on a product on a daily basis.
What is the most difficult for you in all this?
I guess "time factor" is the most difficult issue for my team. In Nigeria, the experience of time is quite different than in Europe. When you schedule a meeting at 10:00, you can expect people to start showing up at 10:30 and they will keep arriving until the end of the meeting. This makes business talks quite challenging in terms of keeping everybody on the same page.
Our impression is that Nigerians (well, not all of them, but I allow myself to generalize for the purpose of this interview) live in "here and now" sort of setting – they don't think too much of the future, don't plan too much, kind of "que sera, sera, whatever will be, will be". Personally, I love this attitude 🙂 but in terms of business making it can become a struggle.
What about the future, do you have any mid-term goals you would like to reach? What shall I wish you?
Reaching out to public schools in Nigeria would be one of them. As for the broader vision, our general idea is to be present in all Sub-Saharan Africa, so I guess you can wish us that.
Fingers crossed! Thank you, Ewa!
WhyBlueSky put a motto on their website saying that education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world. We are fully supportive of this kind of viewpoint.
Encouraged by their success, we feel daring enough to modify this statement a little and say that mobile applications are the most powerful weapon you can use to change the education system.
As PressPad, we are glad that our mobile solutions participate in such an exciting project. There's no better motivation for us to develop our products than seeing how they are improving people's lives.

Q: Start chapter numbers with 1 in every new part of document I'm using André Miede's classicthesis for Lyx. However, I couldn't figure out how to globally reset the chapter number after the start of a new part. This is how the TOC looks right now:

*

*Part 1

*

*1 Chapter

*1 Chapter

*Part 2

*

*3 Chapter

But I want it to look like this:

*

*Part 1

*

*1 Chapter

*1 Chapter

*Part 2

*

*1 Chapter

Every help is appreciated! Thanks a lot in advance!

A: You could add \@addtoreset{chapter}{part} to your preamble to add the chapter to the list of counters which are reset at the start of a new part
\documentclass{book}

\usepackage{classicthesis}

\makeatletter
\@addtoreset{chapter}{part}
\makeatother

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents

\part{title 1}

\chapter{title}
\chapter{title}
\chapter{title}

\part{title 2}

\chapter{title}
\chapter{title}
\chapter{title}
\chapter{title}
\chapter{title}

\end{document}

A: You just have to reset the proper counter at the start of a part.
For instance:
\newcommand{\mypart}[1]{\setcounter{chapter}{0} % reset chapter counter
                         \part{#1}              % then create the part
}

Then you can simply use \mypart instead of \part and the numbering will be as you wish.

Q: Intercept click on link in webkit.webview In an HTML page, by clicking on a link, the page HTML given is displayed.
But how to make for
open this page in a another tab, with another program?
If the link points to another thing that one
    .htm[l], php… (zip, iso, etc.) how to detect
     and launch the download?
It would be necessary to detect the click on one link, to launch
the adequate treatment, and I do not see how to make,
I do not find examples (with vala).
Example: test.vala:
using Gtk;
using WebKit;
/*
valac --pkg gtk+-3.0 --pkg webkit2gtk-4.0 --pkg posix test.vala && ./test
*/
int main (string[] args) {
    Gtk.init(ref args);
    var window=new Gtk.Window();
    window.destroy.connect(Gtk.main_quit);
    WebView wv=new WebKit.WebView();
    string url="file://"+Posix.realpath(args[0])+".html";
    wv.load_uri(url);
    window.add(wv);
    window.show_all();
    Gtk.main();
    return 0;
}

test.html:

        searx
        xpad

A: Connect to the decide-policy signal on your WebView instance, and examine the two objects passed in:
wv.decide_policy.connect((policy, type) => {
    if (type == WebKit.PolicyDecisionType.NAVIGATION_ACTION &&)
        WebKit.NavigationPolicyDecision nav_policy =
            (WebKit.NavigationPolicyDecision) policy;
        if (nav_policy.get_navigation_type() ==
                WebKit.NavigationType.LINK_CLICKED) {
            string href = nav_policy.request.uri;
            // Do something with the href
        }
});

This is how you handle new links, new windows, display or save a response, etc. See the docs for the signal and for the two parameters WebKit.PolicyDecision and WebKit.PolicyDecisionType.

A: it goes :
wv.decide_policy.connect((policy, type) => {
    if (type == WebKit.PolicyDecisionType.NAVIGATION_ACTION ) {
        WebKit.NavigationPolicyDecision nav_policy =
            (WebKit.NavigationPolicyDecision) policy;
        if (nav_policy.get_navigation_type() ==
                WebKit.NavigationType.LINK_CLICKED) {
            string href = nav_policy.request.uri;
GLib.stdout.printf("%s\n",href);
        } }
    return true;
});

thank you very much

Lisburn man in 'sharking' claims denies any sexual motivation
Judge hitting gavel
By Alan Erwin
A delivery driver accused of attempting to strip three women in "sharking" attacks has denied there was any sexual motivation in the alleged incidents.
The High Court heard that Padraig O'Neill claimed the alleged attacks where part of an internet craze where someone records themselves pulling down someone else's clothes and posts the footage online.
Prosecutors said O'Neill described acting to get a "buzz" but later regretted his actions.
The 18-year-old is charged with sexually assaulting two women in Belfast and a third in Bangor, Co Down, within a 24-hour period.
O'Neill, of Oldpark Road, Lisburn, was arrested following the alleged Bangor attack on May 13.
Prosecutor Kate McKay said a woman had been walking her dogs on the town's Ballycrochan Road when she was grabbed and wrestled to the ground.
Mrs McKay claimed O'Neill pulled down the alleged victim's trousers before touching her between her legs then running off, only to be detained by a passer-by.
During police interviews, he said it was part of a game involving pulling down unsuspecting women's clothes and photographing the incident, the court heard.
"He said that he knows this as 'sharking' and states it can be viewed on the internet," Mrs McKay told the court.
O'Neill is also accused of similar attacks on two women in Belfast the night before. One of the alleged victims claimed attempts were made to pull up her dress and remove her underwear after she was forced to the ground on Elm Street in the south of the city.
"She was distressed, confused and shouted at the male, asking him what he was doing," the prosecutor claimed. "He laughed at her and she could see he was recording the incident on his mobile phone."
Hours later another woman was allegedly targeted on Elgin Street. The court was told she was grabbed from behind by an attacker who tried to pull her leggings down but ran off after she shouted for help. According to prosecutors, O'Neill once again told police that he was playing the sharking game.
Mrs McKay added: "He told police he did not get sexual gratification. He confirmed that he did it as a buzz, but afterwards, when he watched the video back, he felt regret and deleted the videos within 12 hours."
Granting bail, Mr Justice Maguire warned O'Neill's father that his son would be in "serious trouble" if there was any repeat of the alleged incidents.
The court was told sharking is a well-known internet craze in Asia, and defence counsel argued the alleged offences were not sexually motivated. The accused was ordered to surrender his mobile phone and subjected to a curfew and electronic monitoring. He was also banned from entering Bangor and told he must see his GP within a week of being released.

Subway mugger steals Phone from 13-year-old. What Happens Next Is Pure NYC Justice…
Joshua Saxon • April 6, 2016
In New York City, we don't take no crap off nobody. So if you think you can mug a 13-year-old kid and get away with it without a subway train ploughing into your face – you're sadly mistaken, my friend.
Early on Tuesday morning, a mugger tried to snatch an iPhone from a 13-year-old on the Manhattan-bound M train. Two heroic New Yorkers tried to stop him…
[Giphy]
…but the 33-year-old thief punched one of them in the face and fled at the Northern Boulevard station in Woodside.
As cops arrived, the suspect ran along the tracks and into the tunnel. But instead of a quick getaway, he got a face-full of F train.
Cops had to shut down the trains and look for him in the darkness.
One witness told NY Daily News: "The police were walking up and down outside the train screaming, 'Say something or die!' But the thief was staying quiet. He didn't want to get caught."
Once found, the crook was taken to be treated for cuts and bruises at Elmhurst Hospital before being taken into custody.
[NY Daily News]
The incident also caused serious delays on the E,F, M & R trains. Some passengers were trapped on trains for over an hour.

Loving in Truth (Sonnet 1) Summary & Analysis
Sir Philip Sidney
In the poem "Loving in Truth" Sir Philip Sidney wants to express his true love for his ladylove, Penelope Devereux, the daughter of the Earl of Essex, through his verse.
But he cannot find suitable words to express his passion of love and to praise his beloved. He wants to borrow words from other poets' verse, but in vain.
Finally, muse (the goddess of poetry) advises him to write poetry by using the feeling of his inner heart.
Loving in Truth – Explanation
Loving in truth and fain in verse my love to show,
That she, dear she, might take some pleasure of my pain,
Pleasure might cause her read, reading might make her know
Knowledge might pity win, pity grace obtain, —
The poet's love for his beloved, Penelope Devereux is pure and true. But that love is unreciprocated by his lady. So, he wants to represent his feeling of love in his verse. The poet thinks that his efforts (my pain) to win some favour of his beloved might give her pleasure. He also hopes that she might want to read his verse out of the pleasure she takes in his pain. In this way, she might learn the poet's pain (in not winning her love). It would make her heart soft and she might show sympathy for the poet. Thus, the poet wants to win the heart of his lady.
I sought fit words to paint the blackest face of woe:
Studying inventions fine, her wits to entertain,
Oft turning others' leaves, to see if thence would flow
Some fresh and fruitful showers upon my sun burnt brain.
The poet searches for appropriate words to depict the saddest face of him. Here the poet highlights his pain by using the phrase 'the blackest face of woe'. He is in misery for his love. His brain seems to have become barren because of his passion of love and his inability to find exact expressions for his love. Actually, the poet wants to provide intellectual pleasure to his ladylove and convince her (her wits to entertain) through his verse. He hopes others' writing might help him in this purpose. So, he studies many books of other poets in order to find suitable words to describe his feelings. And if he finds the appropriate words there, those would be like fresh and fruitful showers upon his unfertile sun-burnt brain.
Lines 9–12
But words came halting forth, wanting Invention's stay:
Invention, Nature's child, fled step dame Study's blows;
And others' feet still seemed but strangers in my way.
Thus great with child to speak, and helpless in my throes,
Here the poet shows that his poetic words and expressions do not come continuously. They are halting. Poetic inspiration is a natural product and cannot be produced by study. It is, therefore, called Nature's child who is tortured by study, the stepmother. Even the words which are suitable for others seem strange to the poet because of his unoriginality. Now the poet is like a helpless child who cannot be able to express his pain during the time of delivery. The poet is feeling anguished to express his passion.
Lines 13–14
Biting my truant pen, beating myself for spite
"Fool", said my Muse to me, "look in thy heart, and write".
The poet's pen is like a truant (a run-away school boy). The Pen runs away due to the lack of his poetic inspiration. Being hopeless he is biting his pen. At the same time he beats himself in anger. Finally, Muse, his goddess calls him fool and advises him to use his own words from his heart to write poetry. Only then, it would be genuine and original.
Loving in Truth – A Critical Commentary
Philip Sidney's famous poem "Loving in truth" is Sonnet 1 of his popular sonnet sequence "Astrophel and Stella". It is a series of 108 sonnets published in 1591. This sonnet sequence which owe to Petrarch and Ronsard in tone and style places Sidney as the greatest Elizabethan sonneteer except Shakespeare.
Sidney uses the word "Astrophel" to denote himself. The Greek word "astrophel" means star- lover and "Stella" is a Latin word means star. The sonnet "Loving in Truth" is an expression of the sonneteer's unrequited love. The sonnet is very autobiographical. Here the poet expresses his passion of love for his beloved Penelope Devereux. He wants to use his verse as an expression of his love. But he does not find proper words and poetic expression to write verse. He wants to borrow words and poetic inspiration from other writers to represent his pain. But poetry is an art of spontaneity. It is not possible by copying others. So, the poet's effort fails. At last, he realizes that true poetry originates from one's inner feelings. Here the poet highlights the power of emotion as the source of poetry.
"Loving in truth" resembles a Petrarchan sonnet. The theme of the sonnet is love which is a characteristic feature of Petrarchan sonnet. The first 8 lines make the octave (octet). It depicts the poet's deep love for his lady. It also shows the poet's efforts to entertain his lady by writing verse. The last 6 lines form the sestet. It highlights the poet's failure. Here the poet realizes that true poetic inspiration comes from inside one's heart and emotion is the mother of poetry. The poem is rhyming as ABAB ABAB CDCD EE. "Loving in truth" has been written in iambic hexameter (except line 4) instead of iambic pentameter which is the usual measure of the sonnet. Here Sidney shows an unestablished form of sonnet.
Sidney's use of rhetoric decorates the poem beautifully. The first line of the poem 'loving in truth, and fain in verse my love to show' is an example of hyperbaton. The second line is an instance of epigram. The poet uses climax in the third and fourth line —
'Pleasure might cause her read, reading might make her know,
Knowledge might pity win, pity grace obtain.'
We see the use of paronomasia in the seventh and eighth lines. Here the poet also uses metaphor where the brain has been said to be sun burnt. In the tenth line there are personifications where Nature and Study have been presented as human beings. It also shows the use of metaphor where the relation between nature and invention has been compared to the relation between mother and child. On the other side, the relation between invention and study has been compared to the relation between child and stepmother. In the last line, the poet represents his painful process of writing by using metaphor. Here, he compares his pain to the birth pangs of a mother. Philip Sydney's Sonnet 1 'Loving in truth' is thus enriched with figure of speech. And all these aspects make it a great sonnet.
Loving in Truth – Themes
Sir Philip Sidney's poem "Loving in Truth" (Sonnet 1) from "Astrophel and Stella" has love as its main theme. Though it is not a typical Petrarchan sonnet in its metrical pattern, in its theme of love it resembles works of Petrarch and Ronsard. The poet-speaker here expresses not only his deep passion of love for his beloved Penelope Devereux but also his feeling of pain as his love is unreciprocated by his lady. In order to entertain his lady he is ready to bear even more pain. The poet seems to be leaving no stones unturned to get her attention and favour. That is where his efforts of writing a poem comes forth. He hopes that his pain would give her pleasure and make her interested to read his verse, and that way he would finally be able to win her heart.
Genuineness of Art
Sidney also highlights the theme of genuineness of poetry, or any art form for that matter. The speaker is trying hard to express his love for his mistress in his verse but finds it difficult to find suitable words to convey his feelings and emotions. He is so engrossed in love with his ladylove and also having such pain in the lack of her attention that his brain has become barren and he tries to borrow words from other poets' works. Finally, he realises though that poetry comes from one's inner mind. You cannot succeed in any creative work by solely imitating others. It needs true poetic inspiration to write a poem and the words should come rather spontaneously from your heart.
