IT Help Desk meets Artificial Intelligence
One of the areas within an enterprise ripe for disruption is the traditional IT Help Desk. Over the past decade, enterprises have become more cost-efficient through the outsourcing of Help Desk operations. However, in order to continue driving efficiencies across the enterprise, internal workforce productivity must also rise. This is where Artificial Intelligence (AI) enters the picture.
With recent advancements in infinite computing, natural language understanding (NLU), and deep learning, the application of enterprise AI solutions is more practical than ever before. In fact, with roughly 30-50% of Level 1 Help Desk support cases being repetitive, you can leverage the power of NLU and cognitive automation in the form of AI bots.
AI bots are self-learning software systems that understand the human language without requiring human assistance. They can supercharge your enterprise IT Help Desk causing your team's productivity to skyrocket, and ultimately drive increased enterprise efficiency.
For starters, we've laid out the three essentials of an AI bot for your enterprise IT Help Desk needs:
1. Enterprise Language Understanding
Similar to how IT Help Desk professionals are trained to provide consistent and relevant support handling service requests, AI bots must be trained to understand language specific to your enterprise. AI bots must utilize an Enterprise Language Model (ELM) which resembles an IT service handbook or knowledge base specific to your enterprise.
An ELM represents the language (colloquialism, acronyms, cryptic notations, jargon, company terms, and domain-specific vocabulary) and intentions (or intents for short) which are expressed all the time in IT Help Desk requests. Therefore, having an ELM to understand conversations is the first step to any enterprise application of AI.
Sparse Data vs Dense Data
Sparse data refers to a low volume of data usually in the thousands that can be analyzed by simply using a spreadsheet. If you have sparse data, you should identify high volume issues and create and train intents manually. Any enterprise jargon or internal documents should also be used to quickly build your ELM.
Dense data refers to a large volume of data usually going to hundreds of thousands and even millions of records. If you have dense data, an AI bot should identify high volume issues and surface intents automatically from your data sets to build your ELM.
The Parlo Broca NLU service is built for enterprises with both sparse and dense data collected from chat logs, CRM, documents, emails, and knowledge bases. Using a combination of machine learning and linguistic engineering, Parlo builds an ELM which accurately detects and classifies IT Help Desk intents of high volume.
With minimal training involved, Parlo can build your ELM and get your Help Desk bot up and running in less than 4 weeks.
2. Interactions with Users
Once you've built a robust ELM, you must decide how your AI bot should interact within your enterprise IT Help Desk environment. AI bots can operate as an AI worker or an AI assistant.
AI Worker vs AI Assistant
An AI Worker does not involve turn-by-turn conversations with users. In fact, it is invisible to the users as the bot is deployed directly on the IT Help Desk software (ServiceNow, Ivanti, Remedy, or even an email server) which is used to capture incidents. AI Workers can be trained to completely resolve an incident/service request, or simply do some pre-processing to help a human agent resolve the ticket. If the AI Worker is trained to resolve an incident it will act on it. Otherwise, it puts the ticket back in the queue for a human agent to take action.
For example, if a service agent requests IT Help Desk bot to "Increase disk space", "Unlock my account", or "Reset password" for a user, the AI Worker will automatically execute those commands on the back-end and update the ticket for the end customer (as shown below).
The advantages of this model are the following:
- There is no disruption in user behavior, and
- Works very well with the outsourcing models an enterprise might have as it just involves adding an AI Worker to the workforce.
An AI Assistant indulges in turn-by-turn conversation with users. Think of it functioning as a Level 1 support assistant that interacts with users and solves trained issues right away. If it is not trained for a particular service request, it logs a ticket and assigns it to a human support assistant for follow up (as shown below).
The advantages of this model are the following:
- Simple issues are immediately resolved directly within the conversation channel (website, mobile app, Slack, Skype, etc), and
- It helps in reducing MTTR by gathering mandatory information normally done by a human worker
3. Ability to Fulfill Service Requests
Underneath the covers of an AI bot, workflows must be in place to execute relevant tasks and business processes. There are two ways to create these workflows for AI Workers to fulfill back-office requests:
- Use an FAQ Knowledge Base
- Use Robotic Process Automation(RPA) and APIs
FAQ Knowledge Base vs RPA/API
In order for an AI Bot to truly understand a service request, the ELM alone will not suffice. Many IT Help Desk tickets involve extracting multiple complex entities (parameters associated with the request) from the ticket and calling RPA/APIs to do a backend function.
Here is a service request involving an FAQ knowledge base:
"I need to exchange my phone"
An AI Bot would extract the intent "exchange phone" and provide the relevant support link from the enterprise's knowledge base. The AI Bot can go one step further by extracting phone entities (iPhone, Galaxy S6, Pixel 2, etc) in order to guide the user to more specific support articles or higher level support engineers.
Here is a service request involving RPA:
"Please give me access to the channel scrum in slack"
This involves extracting entities "scrum" and "slack" from the request, the username from the ticket, and then calling an RPA to fulfill the request.
Parlo can seamlessly connect with enterprise knowledge bases, RPAs, and APIs to fulfill routine IT Help Desk requests and create the appropriate workflows within our chatbot platform.
AI-powered bots and cognitive automation are quickly becoming the driving force for digital transformation across all enterprises. Now is the time to embrace this technology and use AI bots for IT Help Desk automation.
Getting started is always a challenge, so be sure your AI bot solution covers the three essentials:
- Enterprise language understanding using both sparse and dense data
- Interactions with users through an independent AI Worker or dialogue with an AI assistant
- Ability to fulfill back-office requests using FAQ knowledge bases, RPAs, or APIs
If done correctly, your users will see a quicker resolution of their incidents and you can significantly decrease your operational costs. So what are you waiting for!

"I found myself laughing and crying, often simultaneously!" What an incredible story! I found myself thinking about the characters long after finishing this book. Highly Recommended! – Shelley Cummings, distributor sales development manager for Ecolab Inc.
Stuck In The Onesies – PAPERBACK AND KINDLE
Barb and Ellie are best friends despite their very different life philosophies. As the 1960s swirl around them, Barb tries to hold on to traditional southern values while Ellie is happy to go with the flow and take change as it comes. The two hatch crazy schemes and egg each other on, but they also support each other through phenomenally difficult times.
Both women struggle with their image of the ideal woman—a Donna Reed–style housewife who always has dinner, a martini, and a smile ready for her husband. As their lives fall apart and come back together again, both Barb and Ellie reevaluate this paradigm of feminine virtue.
Along the way, they get involved with John F. Kennedy's campaign, meet the First Lady, and get stuck in Washington, DC, during a full-scale riot—and that's not the end of their adventures. Deadly serious events will shake them and their friendship. They can't stop the changes of the sixties from affecting them, so they both need to decide if that image of the ideal woman is worth hanging on to—or if it's just holding them back, keeping them stuck in the onesies.
Getting stuck in onesies is lethal to a jacks player. It's considered the easiest step, and if you don't sail right through it the first time, you play catch-up for the rest of the game.
"Stuck in the onesies, huh?" Ellie asked.
"Yeah, kinda like getting behind in the laundry. You go one day without hanging something on the line, and you're forever playing catch-up." I scooped up the rest of the jacks and handed them to Ellie.
"Yeah, I know what you mean. The last time I caught up on laundry, I think Truman was still president."
Ellie uncrossed her legs and knelt down on the floor. She sailed through the onesies and got all the way to fivesies before she goofed. In no time, she'd whooped us all. I was determined to learn to be as coordinated as her, but it was apparent that it was going to take some practice.
"You're the champ for now," I said. "But just wait until Karen and I get some practice under our belts." I tossed the jacks to take a practice turn.
It had been a long time since Karen and I had sat on the kitchen floor to play. I made a private promise to myself to spend more time just playing with her. Since Roy had come along, there just never seemed to be enough time. Not that I'd been all that good about getting down on her level before that. I promised myself I'd do better.

Having said that, I am going to say antidepressant medication is frequently used in these conditions, sometimes successfully, but often not. Given the amount of time that people with these conditions spend in depression, it is not surprising people are often given antidepressants in the hope that they may be one of those lucky people who will respond beneficially to their effects. ...Read more
What to do if I have bipolar disorder w/ psychosis, is this similar to schizoaffective disorder?
Similar: Bipolar disorder with psychosis shows resolution of the psychosis with treatment and periods of no psychosis without antipsychotic treatment.

To make it clearer what kind of 'difficulty level' club events are, we use the colour-coding system that was designed for mountain biking. That way no one will bite off more than they can chew and no one will be disappointed that a ride isn't long enough or technical enough. Mountain bikers will know the grading system already. We've just ported it over to cover road rides too.
For mountain biking, the grading is essentially a combination of how long the ride is and how technically difficult. For road riding, it's a combination of how long the ride is and how fast the pace would be. A ride that was short but very technical or very fast could still be rated Black.
This is what they mean.
Green: Easy. Suitable for absolute beginners and family cyclists. Relatively short (up to about 6 miles) and not technical. Ride will be on wide forest 'fire-road' tracks, tow-paths, disused railway tracks, or very easy and smooth singletrack. Suitable for hybrid bikes as well as mountain bikes.
Blue: Moderate. Suitable for riders with a little experience. Ride could be a little longer (up to a about 12 miles) and/or include singletrack but won't require riding over obstacles. Suitable for basic mountain bikes or better.
Red: Challenging. Suitable for regular mountain bikers. Could be up to 30 miles or so long and will include steeper descents, rockier sections, step-downs, and steep climbs. Suitable for proper mountain bikes only.
Black: Expert. Suitable for fit, technically skilled mountain bikers. Could be pretty much any distance and will include hazards such as steep gradients, drop-offs, 'North Shore', etc. Falls will happen from time to time. Suitable for good quality mountain bikes only.
Green: Easy. Suitable for beginners and family cyclists, including younger children riding solo. Distance will be short (usually under 10 miles and never more than about 20), with no severe climbs (that can't be walked). Will take place on traffic free or minor roads without awkward junctions. Average riding speed: as low as required. Suitable for any roadworthy bicycle.
Blue: Moderate. Suitable for anyone with moderate fitness and with experience of cycling solo on road. Distances will be from 20-50 miles, with few huge hills. Pace will typically be 'steady'. Best suited to drop-bar bikes.
Red: Challenging. Suitable for fit, regular cyclists. Distances will be longer (up to about 80 miles) or will be ridden at a faster pace. Could include busy main roads and big hills and may be fairly remote from towns and villages. Best ridden on road bikes or lightweight touring bikes.
Black: Expert. High level of fitness and stamina required. Distances will be long (e.g. 80+ miles) or will be ridden at a demanding pace. Likely to include big climbs, remote roads, and any traffic conditions. Best ridden on lightweight road bikes with a good gear range.
By way of examples for road rides: the Sunday ride would be graded Blue while the Saturday ride would usually be Red. A 100-mile ride over the moors would be Black. A chain-gang session would be Red at least.

The trouble is that it brings the same red tape as a big shop, which have the scale to justify employing someone to do the extra work. And a big shop takes as much manning as a small one. Selling direct is a good way to increase income, but it also increases costs significantly too.
People also seem to respond differently to bad experiences with small traders too. If you get bad customer service from one assistant in a supermarket that employs 60 people it's easier to make excuses to go back (they're only low paid so it's not their fault, or they're only one person and it's easier to avoid them in future or they're not responsible for the beef that turned out to be horse) whereas a small shop with a staff of three you're more likely to boycott them completely.

Artist: Implant
CD title: The Productive Citizen
Label - Alfa-Matrix
Genre: EBM, Industrial
Implant is the work of Belgian artist Len Lemeire. The Productive Citizen is Implant's 9th release, and Lemeire is highly sought after as a producer and re-mixer., working with acts as diverse as Unter Null, and Front 242. The offering on the album are varied stylistically: EBM Electro-Clash and Industrial, featuring vocal contributions from Leaether Strip, Krystal System, and XMH. A deluxe edition of the album includes a diverse cadre of remixers including Diffusion, Pankow, Shiv-r and others. Disk two includes twelve remixes and a third CD Increased Productivity is available only direct from the label, or at merch tables when Implant launches a tour supporting the album.
The album opens with the resigned listlessness of "Lord, Knows I've Tried." It treats one of the themes for Implant's The Productive Citizen, a voice that's darkly resigned to faceless automation and resentment towards technology. The oddly titled "C.C.C.P.C.C.T.V." offers a counterpoint: is an up-tempo floor-stomper which glee-fully incorporates campy nods to pop in its chorus. The song also draws from house influences: the Implant catalog is more complex than it might first appear. "The City" grooves off a bass-line which nods to early Ministry's dance/synthpop era. "Jour Nuclearie includes guest vocal from Alfa-Matrix label-mates Krystal System and is noisy enjoyable electro-pop. "I'm in Control" is a slow BPM and has some nice moments, but is less interesting. The menace comes back a bit with "I'm the Teacher" which stubbornly insists its title repeatedly in a way that reminds the listener just that. The track is brutal and effective in a way that can't be matched by a lot of the distorted screaming of terror EBM bands. One of the more positive tracks, thematically, is "The Game," --while it is difficult to tell whether the track is just darkly ironic, or not --it's a great track however you interpret it. "Biodigital Nightmare" is distorted and claustrophobic, the refrain opens up into orchestral, resonant synths. Towards the album's end, the song "Jonny" includes one of the album's many guest vocalists. The track is mellow and dance-oriented, the vocals are repetitive and haunting: it reminds the listener why future-pop held such sway in clubs not so long ago.
Implant is probably known best, especially here in the states for its production contributions and remixes, but as The Productive Citizen shows, that Implant has added another jewel to its already impressive catalog. The offerings on The Productive Citizen are varied and compelling. The available two disks worth of remixes feature enough big name clout to make this a must-have.

ZTE Light tabletsThis trio of 7-inch tablets goes from the basic to the more upscale.
-Hi, this is Jessica Dolcourt from CNET, here at CTIA taking a first look at the ZTE Lite. Now, this is a family of 3 7-inch tablets. They're all running Android 2.2 Froyo right now, but they may be upgradeable to Honeycomb in the future. There are 3 models. They go from basic, basic plus 4G, and also a more upscale model. We're looking right now at the LTE Lite basic model. This has a 3-megapixel camera on the back, a VGA camera on the front and a 600 megahertz processor. The LTE Lite 2, the more upscale model has a 1 gigahertz processor plus DLNA support and a much, much better screen. The model that I'm holding right now has this glossy black front and sort of metallic backing. It feels pretty good in the hand, pretty smooth. Not too heavy and it's fairly thin. So this is definitely looking like some of the other tablets that we've seen and it does have that portability. Although all 3 of these tablets have been launched globally, there is no pricing or carrier information yet in the U.S., so stay tuned. I'm Jessica Dolcourt and this is the ZTE Lite family of tablets.

|Border States: Journal of the Kentucky-Tennessee American Studies Association, No. 8 (1991)
On April 6-7, 1862, near Pittsburg Landing, Tennessee, occurred
the battle now best known by the romantic-sounding name of Shiloh.
Surely there is irony in the fact that this battle took place
near the small Methodist church called Shiloh, since more men
died in the battle than in all the wars previously fought by citizens
of the United States -- the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812,
and the Mexican War. Nearly 3500 men lost their lives in the two-day
encounter. Overall, almost 24,000 casualties were realized on
both sides. An added irony is that the battle plan followed by
the Confederate soldiers was Napoleon's plan for Waterloo, and
the percentage of casualties at Shiloh was twenty-four percent,
the same results as at Waterloo. But, as Shelby Foote observes
in The Civil War: A Narrative: Fort Sumter to Perryville,
"Waterloo had settled something, while this one apparently
had settled nothing. When it was over the two armies were back
where they started, with other Waterloos ahead" (350).
James McDonough, in his significant study of this battle, quotes
Otto Eisenchim as saying, "No novelist could have packed
into a space of two days more action, romance and surprises than
history did on that occasion" (v). Even so, in the years
since Shiloh a good many literary people have seized on the happenings
there as subject matter for all kinds of literary treatments.
Perhaps this battle was destined for literary immortality in part
because of those who participated in it. One of the leading figures
of the Union Army was the future novelist Major General Lew Wallace,
whose mistake in taking the wrong road led not only to a delay
in the arrival of his forces but also to the later criticism that
caused him after the war -- Ancient Mariner-like -- to return
annually to Shiloh in attempts to explain his delay. McDonough
says, "Shiloh was to bring him much publicity and much sorrow"
(96, 47). There is no surprise that Wallace's later literary triumphs
included no retelling of the Shiloh story.
Another literary figure there for the two-day struggle was Sergeant
Ambrose Bierce of the Ninth Indiana. Assigned in February 1862
to the Army of the Ohio under Don Carlos Buell, he joined Grant's
Army of the Tennessee at Shiloh. Bierce participated in the second
day of fighting on April 7, 1862, when the Ninth Indiana suffered
the highest casualties of any on the Union side. Later Bierce
was to recall the events in his account "What I Saw of Shiloh."
As he began, he recounted the peaceful, almost idyllic setting
of that Sunday morning. That serene picture soon gave way to the
carnage that would serve Bierce effectively in such stories as
"An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" and "Chickamauga."
It was the horror of war that enraged Bierce's greatest furor.
His ability to imprint the destruction and devastation on the
reader's mind climaxes in his account of such landmarks as the
peach orchard, the Hornet's Nest, and the Bloody Pond. Many other
vivid scenes rushed to his memory. Once he interrupted his efforts
to say, "I can't describe it" (256). On another occasion
he turned aside to investigate a ravine where an Illinois regiment
had been trapped in the fighting. The area had been burned over,
and Bierce said, "I obtained leave to go down into the valley
of death and gratify a reprehensible curiosity." Shocked
at the horrors he encountered, he brought into play his typical
cynicism: "I cannot catalogue the charms of these gallant
gentlemen who had got what they enlisted for" (261-2). For
all his later stories about the Civil War, Bierce never had one
set at Shiloh. Although he would later draw upon some of the experiences
he witnessed there, the reality was too much even for him. Carey
McWilliams, his biographer, said "Bierce never forgot that
first major battle...He made war story after war story based on
some incident garnered from his experience at Shiloh [which] came
to signify the turning point in his life. He wrote of it sadly,
lovingly, as though upon its blood-drenched fields he had lost
the perishable illusion of youth" (41).
Shiloh was the first Civil War battle immortalized in a ballad.
In fact, the battle inspired a number of anonymous poetic tributes
to bravery and loss. One such work created a folk hero that all
America could identify with since no designation of either Union
or Confederate army is given. "The Drummer Boy of Shiloh"
tells the story of a drummer boy who met his death in the battle.
The details were put in rhyme and set to music by Will Shakespeare
Hays, who wrote music for a publishing firm in Louisville. Richard
Harwell notes that "the sentimentality of the piece brought
it immediate popularity in a period of the war when the folks
at home wanted just such outlets for their emotion" (76).
On Shiloh's dark and blood ground, the dead and wounded lay.Another ballad, "The Battle of Shiloh," collected by Cecil Sharp from the singing of Philander Fitzgerald of Nash, Virginia, obviously presents a Southern bias. Its opening call to "each loyal Southerner's heart" prepares the reader for a seemingly glorious victory of the Confederates.
Amongst them was a drummer boy, that beat the drum that day.
A wounded soldier raised him up, His drum was by his side.
He clasped his hands and raised his eyes and prayed before he died:
Look down upon the battle field, Oh Thou, our Heav'nly friend,
Have mercy on our sinful souls. The soldiers cried, "Amen."
For gather'd round a little group, Each brave man knelt and cried.
They listen'd to the drummer boy who prayed before he died.
"Oh Mother!" said the dying boy, "Look down from Heav'n on me."
Receive me to thy fond embrace, Oh take me home to thee.
I've loved my country as my God, To serve them both I've tried."
He smiled, shook hands. Death seized the boy who prayed before he died.
Each soldier wept then like a child, Stout hearts were they and brave.
They wrote upon a simple board these words "This is a guide
To those who mourn the drummer boy who prayed before he died." (Harwell 77)
Their guns and knapsacks they threw down,Two contemporaries of the battle sought to immortalize it soon after its completion. Far from the fields surrounding Shiloh was Herman Melville, but his imagination had been touched by the events unfolding in the South. By 1862 Melville's earlier successes had waned, and he was seeking other outlets for his artistic abilities as well as other means of providing income for his family. Just three years before, Mrs. Melville had written her mother: "Herman has taken to writing poetry. You need not tell anyone, for you know how such things get around" (Hand 326). While there are no references to Melville's immediate response to Shiloh, his interest in battle sites nearer home is well-documented. According to Jay Leyda's Melville Log, Melville and his brother Allan arrived in Washington in April 1864 seeking a pass to visit the Army of the Potomac. Such a request was granted, and a few days later both men left Washington for the front visiting various battlefields and meeting General Grant. Jane Melville arrived in Washington and wrote her step-daughter on April 13, "We arrived here safely, but did not find the Army of the Potomac on Sunday last...We hope to see Papa tomorrow -- unless the Guerrillas have Papa and Uncle Herman" (666-7).
They ran like hares before the hounds.
The Yankee Dutch could not withstand
The Southern charge at Shiloh.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Now many a pretty maid did mourn
A lover who'll no more return;
The cruel war has from her torn;
His body lies at Shiloh. (Emrich 448-9)
Out of those visits and his constant reading of war accounts,
Melville composed the seventy-two poems that were included in
Battle-Pieces when it was published in 1866. While Melville
insisted there was no effort to arrange the poems in any scheme,
they are placed in chronological order. His detailed knowledge
of the war is evidenced in the numerous Civil War personalities
mentioned and the many places remembered in the poems. It is little
wonder that Newton Arvin would later call Melville "the Matthew
Brady of Civil War verse" (qtd. in Hillway 126).
Before continuing with a discussion of Melville's treatments of
Shiloh, however, notice must be given the other poet from the
same period who wrote about this battle. His name was Forceythe
Willson, and his work "The Old Sergeant" first appeared
in the Louisville Journal perhaps in 1863. It was republished
in 1866 and ironically was reviewed with Melville's book of Civil
War verse in an unsigned review under the title "More Poetry
of The War" in Nation on September 6, 1866. The reviewer
expresses a skeptical view of most of the work inspired by the
war. He places Melville in the "herd of recent versifiers."
Part of the blame, he says, must be instinctive. "Nature
did not make him a poet. His pages contain at best little more
than the rough ore of poetry." He speaks of individual poems:
"There are some...in which it is difficult to discover rhythm,
measure, or consonance of rhyme. The thought is often involved
and obscure. The sentiment is weakened by incongruous imagery"
(Branch 390).
In contrast, this reviewer praises Willson's work as superior
to Melville's:
It is a misfortune that the special events which have moved Mr. Melville to write are the same, in several instances, which have already been put into verse by other writers, and that these earlier poems, already more or less familiar to the public, are necessarily brought into comparison with his. Thus his brief verses entitled "Shiloh: A Requiem" almost inevitably suggest, by contrast, the very striking poem of Mr. Forceythe Willson's, of which a great part of the scene is laid on the battle-field of Shiloh, called "The Old Sergeant."Finally the reviewer concludes: "We doubt if the war has inspired a narrative poem more imaginatively conceived, or more vigorously told" (390).
To give some indication of the quality of competition Melville
was forced to confront, one or two stanzas of Willson's "imaginatively
conceived" and "vigorously told" narrative should
be quoted:
"Come a little nearer, Doctor, -- thank you, -- let me take the cup:Melville's "Shiloh: A Requiem" must be one of the finest literary responses to that horrible occasion. Only nineteen lines long, the poem begins and ends with the swallows flying low and skimming as if they hovered and comforted. Against the back-drop of the natural world of swallows, field, clouds, and rain, man invades with war, fighting, and death; hence, the sub-title "A Requiem" becomes appropriate. The church dominates lines nine and ten with its loneliness in the midst of fratricide. Its ineffectiveness is suggested in the lines that follow referring to "natural prayer of dying foemen." The church has not drawn these enemies together; suffering and death have done that. Their prayers are natural rather than ritual, the result of the "parting groan" of fatal wounds and injuries. There is nothing like a bullet to change one's perspective, to "undeceive" as Melville declares, to reveal in the clearest, brightest light.
Draw your chair up, -- draw it closer, -- just another little sup!
May be you think I'm better; but I'm pretty well used up: --
Doctor, you've done all you could do, but I'm just a going up!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"I have got my marching orders, and I'm ready now to go;
Doctor, did you say I fainted? -- but it couldn't ha' been so,
For as sure as I'm a sergeant, and was wounded at Shiloh,
I've this very night been back there, on the old field of Shiloh!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"There was where Lew Wallace showed them he was of the canny kin,
There was where old Nelson thundered, and where Rousseau waded in;
There McCook sent 'em to breakfast, and we began to win --
There was where the grape-shot took me, just as we began to win." (Stedman 388-9)
The twentieth century has not forgotten the imaginative possibilities
of that April Sunday. Stephen Vincent Benét in his John
Brown's Body and Jesse Hill Ford in his novel The Raider
deal with the events of that battle. Even a British novelist,
Don Bannister, in a 1981 novel called Long Day at Shiloh,
has chosen to tell the story exclusively from the perspective
of the Union soldiers. Arranged in a strict chronological ordering
(his chapter headings are hours beginning with Midnight April
5/6 and ending with Midnight April 6/7), Bannister neglects much
of the drama of the event by ignoring the feelings shared on both
sides. This work does not compare favorably in any way with the
much more ambitious and much more effective novel by Shelby Foote.
Few readers could accuse Foote of not knowing his subject matter,
for not only did he publish his novel Shiloh in 1952, he
was later to follow it up with his masterpiece, a three-volume
study entitled The Civil War: A Narrative, appearing one
volume at a time in 1958, 1963, and 1974. As one reads the account
of the battle at Shiloh, for instance, in the historical survey
and then compares that with the fictionalized version in the novel,
he is struck with the accuracy even in fiction. Foote explained
his intention for the novel in a note at the end of the book:
"Historical characters in this book speak the words they
spoke and do the things they did at Shiloh. Many of the minor
incidents also occurred, even when here they are assigned to fictional
persons; I hope the weather is accurate too" (225).
Where Bannister was content to tell only one side of the struggle,
Foote chooses to tell both sides with his chapters alternating
between Union and Confederate participants. The historical accuracy
constantly amazes the reader, but at the same time one loses himself
in the drama of the story and must struggle to remember this is
essentially factual.
William Faulkner said of Foote's Shiloh that it was "twice
the book that The Red Badge of Courage is" (qtd. in
Carter 241). That statement is true in part because the author
totally immersed himself in the research for his study. He was
writing more than fiction; he was determined to make history live
once again. Foote said to William C. Carter, "I always remember
a quote from Keats saying that 'a fact is not a truth until you
love it'" (248).
From this writer's perspective, this battle offered enormous literary
potential, filled as it was with an uncanny number of "ifs"
-- if those torrential rains had not occurred, if Lew Wallace
had arrived earlier, if Johnston had not been killed, if Beauregard
and Johnston had not help opposing viewpoints on fighting this
battle. And that list might be lengthened.
The importance of rains before and during the battle might have
received a dominant place to a piece of fiction such as Hemingway
granted in A Farewell to Arms. The irony of Johnston's
death, caused by a stray bullet cutting an artery in his leg,
is enhanced by the knowledge that his only aide present knew nothing
of emergency medical help while the staff physician had been ordered
by Johnston to assist wounded prisoners. Stephen Crane could have
masterfully captured the twists of fate in that set of circumstances.
While literature may thrive on those kinds of "Ifs,"
Ben C. Truman explains that "there is no poorer place in
the world for [them] than on the battlefield. The results are
victories or defeats for one side or the other, and no 'Ifs' can
tarnish the one or repair the other" (66).
To walk over those acres attempting to envision the horror of
the place becomes all but impossible, for as Bierce discovered,
it is all quiet and peaceful now. Does the present reality deceive
the memory? Or is there a contentment to be found in Melville's
conclusion: "All is hushed at Shiloh?" Such a hush in
no way suggests oblivion, for if the dead lie low the swallows
still skim over the forest-field of Shiloh and the remembrance
still stirs the heart.

Sustaining Gower Ash Woodlands
Set in the beautiful woodlands of Gower, this is an innovative project which engages Swansea's most vulnerable and 'hard to reach' groups through accredited volunteer programmes. The process of actively managing the woodlands increases confidence & well-being as well as teaching practical skills and delivering accredited outcomes. This increases future opportunities for volunteers & benefits for the wider community.
What our volunteers say about 'Sustaining Gower Ash Woodlands'
Spending my time here has reduced my anxiety and depression dramatically. Also I feel more motivatedDrug Aid ParticipantSeptember 2016
When I come to Down to Earth every Wednesday, I can't stop my laughing, when I come to Down to Earth I forgot my all difficulty which I been through. It was my great experience in Down to Earth, Friendly People and staff in Down to Earth. Thank you down to Earth!Swansea City of Sanctuary participantMay 2016
I gained new skills of woodland management, I enjoyed my time, met new people, friendly staff, generous, respectful. It is very important to me as refugee helps on integration process. Thanks."Swansea City of Sanctuary participantMay 2016
This course has had such an impact for my group. It is nothing short of miraculous.Lee DennisDrugAid Cymru staff member
Who is this project for?
'Sustaining Gower Ash Woodlands' is for:
- Groups of 10-12 'hard to reach' or vulnerable people from a referral agency, who are over the age of 24 (If you have a group of people under the age of 24, this project could be for you.)
- You don't need any practical experience, just a willingness to try something new.
What is this project about?
Woodlands are a beautiful place to be. There's something about them which just makes people feel better, and that's what this project is all about – enjoying spending time in the woods. We take groups of 'hard to reach' volunteers out into the woodlands around Gower and we work together to improve our local environment. We're improving access routes so that it's easier for everyone to enjoy the woodlands, and addressing invasive species (plants which are growing where they shouldn't be). The benefits are obvious – our volunteers report increases in:
- Self-esteem
- Confidence
- Levels of physical activity
- Overall happiness
As well as gaining new work skills and experience and receiving Agored Cymru accredited training, our volunteers' work makes the woodlands better for the whole community. It's a perfect win-win situation for everyone.
We have three intakes throughout 2017:
- February
- April
- September
Each programme runs for 8 weeks. Groups attend either Wednesdays or Thursdays, starting at 10:30, and finishing at 14:30. There won't be sessions during school holidays because we know it can be difficult to cover child care.
What do you need?
- 10 – 12 people who want to get involved in the project, and who are committed to attending for 8 weeks.
- Transport: You need to be able to get to us. buses in the area are infrequent, so you'll need to car-share, have a minibus, or be willing to get taxis.
- A packed lunch. Don't forget your sandwiches, we'll provide the tea and biscuits!
- Group members will need comfortable clothes that they don't mind getting dirty. You'll be outside, so dress for the weather. If people don't have waterproofs, don't worry, we can provide them.
Who is funding this project?
We're able to offer this programme because of Natural Resources Wales. NRW is principal adviser to Welsh Government about issues relating to the environment and it's natural resources. These natural resources are things like our air, land, water, wildlife, plants and soil which provide us with our basic needs.

Adding Xfce to your HP Chromebook with crouton
Really easy and it works great!
Geek Note: Long term I'm going to use Crouton to install Xfce which uses the chroot command to run Xfce on top of the Chrome OS, which is already based on Linux. Unlike dual-booting, that means you can switch between Chrome OS and Xubuntu with a quick keyboard shortcut, no reboots necessary.[ Edit 20.08.13: This works great:) ]
How to Install Ubuntu Linux on Your Chromebook with Crouton
crouton: Chromium OS Universal Chroot Environment
crouton is a set of scripts that bundle up into an easy-to-use, Chromium OS-centric chroot generator. Currently Ubuntu and Debian are supported (using debootstrap behind the scenes), but "Chromium OS Debian, Ubuntu, and Probably Other Distros Eventually Chroot Environment" doesn't acronymize as well (crodupodece is admittedly pretty fun to say, though).

The duo is made up of Singer (Dani) and Rapper (Charli) both whom are songwriters, professional dancers, models, actresses, stylists, movement coaches and choreographers – now, isn't that mind-blowing? Last month, they released their very first single as a duo, titled "Stay On Ten." At first listen, we were already convinced they were hit-makers in the making. Could it be because they are friends with hitmaker, Meghan Trainor?

The American perspective is that certain geopolitical destabilization scenarios can be whipped up around the post-Soviet rim which could take a tempting conventional Russian military intervention to quell, although this in turn would actually be a predetermined trap set by the US in order to tie Russia down in a needless war which would then bleed it of its physical, material, economic, and strategic capital.

I was in a conversation and someone said: "You know, we were talking about the whole issue of transgender and how it has become so accepted now, and somebody said, 'You know the Oprah show, I think has had a big impact.'" I said, I don't think so. We did several transgender [shows], but we didn't do as much for transgender as I did for, say, abused kids or battered women. And they said, "But no, you started the conversation. You started the conversation and the conversation has led us to here."Send Quote
My reaction to 'Sin City' is easily stated. I loved it. Or, to put it another way, I loved it, I loved it, I loved it.

All the research shows that the presence of that phone will do two things to the conversation. It will make the conversation go to trivial matters, and it will decrease the amount of empathy that the two people in the conversation feel toward each other.

When You Are Old" WHEN you are old and grey and full of sleep, And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read, and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep; How many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty with love false or true, But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face; And bending down beside the glowing bars, Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled And paced upon the mountains overhead And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.Send Quote
The gospel is the proclamation of free love; the revelation of the boundless charity of God. Nothing less than this will suit our world; nothing else is so likely to touch the heart, to go down to the lowest depths of depraved humanity, as the assurance that the sinner has been loved -- loved by God, loved with a righteous love, loved with a free love that makes no bargain as to merit, or fitness, or goodness.Send Quote

Not to abide in Jesus' love would mean that we stop believing that we are loved by Jesus. We look at our circumstances - perhaps persecution or disease or abandonment - and we conclude that we are not loved by Jesus anymore. That's the opposite of abiding in the love of Jesus. So abiding in his love means continuing to believe, moment by moment, that we are loved.Send Quote

Several years ago I had Dr. Cole as a surgeon. I regard him as one of the best in his field.
I received botox injections from Dr. Cox for the treatment of severe migraines. I was having about 5 episodes a week that lasted up to 18-24 hours. After receiving the treatment, the migraines decreased to one or two a week and the severity also decreased.

How is it that Lexapro (10mg) is cheaper in Canada or outside the U.S. than within the US with respect to my health insurance? Are they made by the same manufacturer?
The simple answer is that countries outside of the U.S. intervene in various ways to keep the costs of prescription drugs down. For brand-name drugs especially, that means much lower prices outside the United States.
Lower prices are available on medications manufactured by domestic and foreign drug companies. The medications sold in U.S. pharmacies are manufactured all over the world. FDA-registered establishments are located in about 150 countries. You may be interested in checking out our blogpost "American" Prescription Drugs Are Usually Imported.
In many cases, medications sold in Canada and the U.S. are made in the same FDA-registered plants, the only difference being that they are packaged differently to meet the packaging and labeling requirements of Health Canada, the FDA's counterpart in Canada. However, this is not the case for all medications sold in Canada. Some are foreign versions of the ones sold in the U.S. and are not identical to the ones sold here. Such medications may be manufactured in plants that are not registered with the FDA and with different inactive, pharmaceutical ingredients.
Interestingly, despite the patent holder for the brand-name version of escitalopram oxalate being the same in the U.S. and Canada—Lundbeck Inc. a Danish international pharmaceutical company—escitalopram oxalate is approved, marketed and manufactured as Lexapro in the U.S., but approved, marketed and manufactured as Cipralex in Canada. These two drugs appear to have the exact same ingredients, as illustrated in the chart below:
You may also be interested in reading this former Ask PC answer- Are the drugs I receive from Canada identical to those received in the U.S.?
Of course, American insurance companies and other large buyers are able to negotiate pricing for the prescription drugs they cover, but major price hikes over the last decade or so have many consumers, even ones with insurance, looking for more affordable options, especially when a comparable drug is sold abroad for up to 97% cheaper.
