Poetry, literature that evokes a concentrated imaginative awareness of experience or a specific emotional response through language chosen and arranged for its meaning, sound, and rhythm.
Poetry is a vast subject, as old as history and older, present wherever religion is present, possibly—under some definitions—the primal and primary form of languages themselves. The present article means only to describe in as general a way as possible certain properties of poetry and of poetic thought regarded as in some sense independent modes of the mind. Naturally, not every tradition nor every local or individual variation can be—or need be—included, but the article illustrates by examples of poetry ranging between nursery rhyme and epic. This article considers the difficulty or impossibility of defining poetry; man's nevertheless familiar acquaintance with it; the differences between poetry and prose; the idea of form in poetry; poetry as a mode of thought; and what little may be said in prose of the spirit of poetry.
Attempts to define poetry
Poetry is the other way of using language. Perhaps in some hypothetical beginning of things it was the only way of using language or simply was language tout court, prose being the derivative and younger rival. Both poetry and language are fashionably thought to have belonged to ritual in early agricultural societies; and poetry in particular, it has been claimed, arose at first in the form of magical spells recited to ensure a good harvest. Whatever the truth of this hypothesis, it blurs a useful distinction: by the time there begins to be a separate class of objects called poems, recognizable as such, these objects are no longer much regarded for their possible yam-growing properties, and such magic as they may be thought capable of has retired to do its business upon the human spirit and not directly upon the natural world outside.
Formally, poetry is recognizable by its greater dependence on at least one more parameter, the line, than appears in prose composition. This changes its appearance on the page; and it seems clear that people take their cue from this changed appearance, reading poetry aloud in a very different voice from their habitual voice, possibly because, as Ben Jonson said, poetry "speaketh somewhat above a mortal mouth." If, as a test of this description, people are shown poems printed as prose, it most often turns out that they will read the result as prose simply because it looks that way; which is to say that they are no longer guided in their reading by the balance and shift of the line in relation to the breath as well as the syntax.
That is a minimal definition but perhaps not altogether uninformative. It may be all that ought to be attempted in the way of a definition: Poetry is the way it is because it looks that way, and it looks that way because it sounds that way and vice versa.
Poetry and prose
People's reason for wanting a definition is to take care of the borderline case, and this is what a definition, as if by definition, will not do. That is, if an individual asks for a definition of poetry, it will most certainly not be the case that he has never seen one of the objects called poems that are said to embody poetry; on the contrary, he is already tolerably certain what poetry in the main is, and his reason for wanting a definition is either that his certainty has been challenged by someone else or that he wants to take care of a possible or seeming exception to it: hence the perennial squabble about distinguishing poetry from prose, which is rather like distinguishing rain from snow—everyone is reasonably capable of doing so, and yet there are some weathers that are either-neither.
Sensible things have been said on the question. The poet T.S. Eliot suggested that part of the difficulty lies in the fact that there is the technical term verse to go with the term poetry, while there is no equivalent technical term to distinguish the mechanical part of prose and make the relation symmetrical. The French poet Paul Valéry said that prose was walking, poetry dancing. Indeed, the original two terms, prosus and versus, meant, respectively, "going straight forth" and "returning"; and that distinction does point up the tendency of poetry to incremental repetition, variation, and the treatment of many matters and different themes in a single recurrent form such as couplet or stanza.
American poet Robert Frost said shrewdly that poetry was what got left behind in translation, which suggests a criterion of almost scientific refinement: when in doubt, translate; whatever comes through is prose, the remainder is poetry. And yet to even so acute a definition the obvious exception is a startling and a formidable one: some of the greatest poetry in the world is in the Authorized or King James Version of the Bible, which is not only a translation but also, as to its appearance in print, identifiable neither with verse nor with prose in English but rather with a cadence owing something to both.
There may be a better way of putting the question by the simple test alluded to above. When people are presented with a series of passages drawn indifferently from poems and stories but all printed as prose, they will show a dominant inclination to identify everything they possibly can as prose. This will be true, surprisingly enough, even if the poem rhymes and will often be true even if the poem in its original typographical arrangement would have been familiar to them. The reason seems to be absurdly plain: readers recognize poetry by its appearance on the page, and they respond to the convention whereby they recognize it by reading it aloud in a quite different tone of voice from that which they apply to prose (which, indeed, they scarcely read aloud at all). It should be added that they make this distinction also without reading aloud; even in silence they confer upon a piece of poetry an attention that differs from what they give to prose in two ways especially: in tone and in pace.
Major differences
In place of further worrying over definitions, it may be both a relief and an illumination to exhibit certain plain and mighty differences between prose and poetry by a comparison. In the following passages a prose writer and a poet are talking about the same subject, growing older.
Between the ages of 30 and 90, the weight of our muscles falls by 30 percent and the power we can exert likewise…. The number of nerve fibres in a nerve trunk falls by a quarter. The weight of our brains falls from an average of 3.03 lb. to 2.27 lb. as cells die and are not replaced…. (Gordon Rattray Taylor, The Biological Time Bomb, 1968.)
Let me disclose the gifts reserved for age
To set a crown upon your lifetime's effort.
First, the cold friction of expiring sense
Without enchantment, offering no promise
But bitter tastelessness of shadow fruit
As body and soul begin to fall asunder.
Second, the conscious impotence of rage
At human folly, and the laceration
Of laughter at what ceases to amuse.
And last, the rending pain of re-enactment
Of all that you have done, and been….
Before objecting that a simple comparison cannot possibly cover all the possible ranges of poetry and prose compared, the reader should consider for a moment what differences are exhibited. The passages are oddly parallel, hence comparable, even in a formal sense; for both consist of the several items of a catalog under the general title of growing old. The significant differences are of tone, pace, and object of attention. If the prose passage interests itself in the neutral, material, measurable properties of the process, while the poetry interests itself in what the process will signify to someone going through it, that is not accidental but of the essence; if one reads the prose passage with an interest in being informed, noting the parallel constructions without being affected by them either in tone or in pace, while reading the poetry with a sense of considerable gravity and solemnity, that too is of the essence. One might say as tersely as possible that the difference between prose and poetry is most strikingly shown in the two uses of the verb "to fall":
The number of nerve fibres in a nerve trunk falls by a quarter
As body and soul begin to fall asunder
It should be specified here that the important differences exhibited by the comparison belong to the present age. In each period, speaking for poetry in English at any rate, the dividing line will be seen to come at a different place. In Elizabethan times the diction of prose was much closer to that of poetry than it later became, and in the 18th century authors saw nothing strange about writing in couplets about subjects that later would automatically and compulsorily belong to prose—for example, horticulture, botany, even dentistry. Here is not the place for entering into a discussion of so rich a chapter in the history of ideas; but the changes involved in the relation of poetry and prose are vast, and the number of ways people can describe and view the world are powerfully influenced by developments in science and society.
Poetic diction and experience
Returning to the comparison, it is observable that though the diction of the poem is well within what could be commanded by a moderately well-educated speaker, it is at the same time well outside the range of terms in fact employed by such a speaker in daily occasions; it is a diction very conscious, as it were, of its power of choosing terms with an effect of peculiar precision and of combining the terms into phrases with the same effect of peculiar precision and also of combining sounds with the same effect of peculiar precision. Doubtless the precision of the prose passage is greater in the more obvious property of dealing in the measurable; but the poet attempts a precision with respect to what is not in the same sense measurable nor even in the same sense accessible to observation; the distinction is perhaps just that made by the French scientist and philosopher Blaise Pascal in discriminating the spirits of geometry and finesse; and if one speaks of "effects of precision" rather than of precision itself, that serves to distinguish one's sense that the artwork is always somewhat removed from what people are pleased to call the real world, operating instead, in Immanuel Kant's shrewd formula, by exhibiting "purposefulness without purpose." To much the same point is what Samuel Taylor Coleridge remembers having learned from his schoolmaster:
I learnt from him, that Poetry, even that of the loftiest and, seemingly, that of the wildest odes, had a logic of its own, as severe as that of science; and more difficult, because more subtle, more complex, and dependent on more, and more fugitive causes. In the truly great poets, he would say, there is a reason assignable, not only for every word, but for the position of every word. (Biographia Literaria, chapter 1.)
Perhaps this is a somewhat exaggerated, as it is almost always an unprovable, claim, illustrating also a propensity for competing with the prestige of science on something like its own terms—but the last remark in particular illuminates the same author's terser formulation: "prose = words in the best order, poetry = the best words in the best order." This attempt at definition, impeccable because uninformative, was derived from Jonathan Swift, who had said, also impeccably and uninformatively, that style in writing was "the best words in the best order." Which may be much to the same effect as Louis Armstrong's saying, on being asked to define jazz, "Baby, if you got to ask the question, you're never going to know the answer." Or the painter Marcel Duchamp's elegant remark on what psychologists call "the problem of perception": "If no solution, then maybe no problem?" This species of gnomic, riddling remark may be determinate for the artistic attitude toward definition of every sort; and its skepticism is not confined to definitions of poetry but extends to definitions of anything whatever, directing one not to dictionaries but to experience and, above all, to use: "Anyone with a watch can tell you what time it is," said Valéry, "but who can tell you what is time?"
Happily, if poetry is almost impossible to define, it is extremely easy to recognize in experience; even untutored children are rarely in doubt about it when it appears:
Little Jack Jingle,
He used to live single,
But when he got tired of this kind of life,
He left off being single, and liv'd with his wife.
It might be objected that this little verse is not of sufficient import and weight to serve as an exemplar for poetry. It ought to be remembered, though, that it has given people pleasure so that they continued to say it until and after it was written down, nearly two centuries ago. The verse has survived, and its survival has something to do with pleasure, with delight; and while it still lives, how many more imposing works of language—epic poems, books of science, philosophy, theology—have gone down, deservedly or not, into dust and silence. It has, obviously, a form, an arrangement of sounds in relation to thoughts that somehow makes its agreeable nonsense closed, complete, and decisive. But this somewhat muddled matter of form deserves a heading and an instance all to itself.
Form in poetry
People nowadays who speak of form in poetry almost always mean such externals as regular measure and rhyme, and most often they mean to get rid of these in favour of the freedom they suppose must follow upon the absence of form in this limited sense. But in fact a poem having only one form would be of doubtful interest even if it could exist. In this connection, the poet J.V. Cunningham speaks of "a convergence of forms, and forms of disparate orders," adding: "It is the coincidence of forms that locks in the poem." For a poem is composed of internal and intellectual forms as well as forms externally imposed and preexisting any particular instance, and these may be sufficient without regular measure and rhyme; if the intellectual forms are absent, as in greeting-card verse and advertising jingles, no amount of thumping and banging will supply the want.
Form, in effect, is like the doughnut that may be said to be nothing in a circle of something or something around nothing; it is either the outside of an inside, as when people speak of "good form" or "bourgeois formalism," or the inside of an outside, as in the scholastic saying that "the soul is the form of the body." Taking this principle, together with what Cunningham says of the matter, one may now look at a very short and very powerful poem with a view to distinguishing the forms, or schemes, of which it is made. It was written by Rudyard Kipling—a great English poet somewhat sunken in reputation, probably on account of misinterpretations having to do more with his imputed politics than with his poetry—and its subject, one of a series of epitaphs for the dead of World War I, is a soldier shot by his comrades for cowardice in battle.
I could not look on Death, which being known,
Men led me to him, blindfold and alone.
The aim of the following observations and reflections is to distinguish as clearly as possible—distinguish without dividing—the feelings evoked by the subject, so grim, horrifying, tending to helpless sorrow and despair, from the feelings, which might better be thought of as meanings, evoked by careful contemplation of the poem in its manifold and somewhat subtle ways of handling the subject, leading the reader on to a view of the strange delight intrinsic to art, whose mirroring and shielding power allows him to contemplate the world's horrible realities without being turned to stone.
There is, first, the obvious external form of a rhymed, closed couplet in iambic pentameter (that is, five poetic "feet," each consisting of an unstressed followed by a stressed syllable, per line). There is, second, the obvious external form of a single sentence balanced in four grammatical units with and in counterpoint with the metrical form. There is, third, the conventional form belonging to the epitaph and reflecting back to antiquity; it is terse enough to be cut in stone and tight-lipped also, perhaps for other reasons, such as the speaker's shame. There is, fourth, the fictional form belonging to the epitaph, according to which the dead man is supposed to be saying the words himself. There is, fifth, especially poignant in this instance, the real form behind or within the fictional one, for the reader is aware that in reality it is not the dead man speaking, nor are his feelings the only ones the reader is receiving, but that the comrades who were forced to execute him may themselves have made up these two lines with their incalculably complex and exquisite balance of scorn, awe, guilt, and consideration even to tenderness for the dead soldier. There is, sixth, the metaphorical form, with its many resonances ranging from the tragic through the pathetic to irony and apology: dying in battle is spoken of in language relating it to a social occasion in drawing room or court; the coward's fear is implicitly represented as merely the timorousness and embarrassment one might feel about being introduced to a somewhat superior and majestic person, so that the soldiers responsible for killing him are seen as sympathetically helping him through a difficult moment in the realm of manners. In addition, there is, seventh, a linguistic or syntactical form, with at least a couple of tricks to it: the second clause, with its reminiscence of Latin construction, participates in the meaning by conferring a Roman stoicism and archaic gravity on the saying; remembering that the soldiers in the poem had been British schoolboys not long before, the reader might hear the remote resonance of a whole lost world built upon Greek and Roman models; and the last epithets, "blindfold and alone," while in the literal acceptation they clearly refer to the coward, show a distinct tendency to waver over and apply mysteriously to Death as well, sitting there waiting "blindfold and alone." One might add another form, the eighth, composed of the balance of sounds, from the obvious likeness in the rhyme down to subtleties and refinements beneath the ability of coarse analysis to discriminate. And even there one would not be quite at an end; an overall principle remains, the compression of what might have been epic or five-act tragedy into two lines, or the poet's precise election of a single instant to carry what the novelist, if he did his business properly, would have been hundreds of pages arriving at.
It is not at all to be inferred that the poet composed his poem in the manner of the above laborious analysis of its strands. The whole insistence, rather, is that he did not catalog 8 or 10 forms and assemble them into a poem; more likely it "just came to him." But the example may serve to indicate how many modes of the mind go together in this articulation of an implied drama and the tension among many possible sentiments that might arise in response to it.
In this way, by the coincidence of forms that locks in the poem, one may see how to answer a question that often arises about poems: though their thoughts are commonplace, they themselves mysteriously are not. One may answer on the basis of the example and the inferences produced from it that a poem is not so much a thought as it is a mind: talk with it, and it will talk back, telling you many things that you might have thought for yourself but somehow didn't until it brought them together. Doubtless a poem is a much simplified model for the mind. But it might still be one of the best models available. On this great theme, however, it will be best to proceed not by definition but by parable and interpretation.

Villas-Boas relishing Blues reunion
Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas believes he grew as a coach during his ill-fated nine month spell as Chelsea boss.
The two London clubs meet at White Hart Lane on Saturday with Villas-Boas set to face his former employers for the first time since he was sacked in March, and the 35-year-old is looking forward to seeing some familiar faces
"I'm going to see people who mean a lot to me, people who are part of my development as a coach," he said. "I certainly feel I have become a better coach because of them."
He added: "They have helped me a lot on my development of career. People who gave everything for me, obviously it is special to encounter any team you have played or belonged in the past."
Villas-Boas was in charge of Chelsea when John Terry was accused of racially abusing QPR defender Anton Ferdinand last October.
The Blues skipper will miss the Spurs fixture after accepting his fine and ban which were handed out after he was found guilty by an Independent Football Association panel but Villas-Boas, who supported Terry at the time, maintains he was correct to do so.
"This is a long story full of events," he said. "So many different interpretations. So many governing bodies intervening. I made my stance towards my reading of the situation. But what I did in the past I continue to support."
Current Chelsea boss Roberto Di Matteo worked under Villas-Boas at Stamford Bridge before replacing the Portuguese when he was sacked.
Di Matteo led the club to FA Cup success and their first ever European Cup but Villas-Boas reckons remaining unbeaten for a season, like Arsenal did in 2003/04 and his own Porto side did two years ago, is a harder task.
"Winning any league is extremely difficult but going through it unbeaten is also extremely difficult," he said. "The achievement that Arsenal did was remarkable and outstanding and probably won't be repeated in the modern game as it happened in Porto with me. Which is more difficult? Remaining unbeaten in the league."

Rick F needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 104 designs submitted by 28 freelance designers.
Design a logo for website and other collateral to create brand recognition with two distinct audiences, applicants for doctoral programs and graduate school admissions offices.
Create a logo that includes both text and image, where each component can be used independently. This requires that the font be recognizable and a design element of its own; however, it must be easily legible and simple to reproduce across various print and electronic media.
In addition, the logo will be used in a variety of formats, e.g., business collateral, trade shows, large-scale booths, etc., so it is vital that the final design be easily scalable. Not all materials will be 4-color process, so 2-color versions should be included as part of the proposal.
- include options with and without tagline, "Stress-Free Search & Apply"
- indicate through the design that this is an ONLINE resource
- classic font style (juxtaposed with more contemporary?) - modern, but not something that will date the logo in < 10 years
- keep 2 distinct audiences in mind: entrenched Academia and recent college graduates
- name of company is primary focus of design
I want everything

Jennifer Lawrence Talks About Her Drunken Family + Carpooling With Sally Field [VIDEO]
During the question and answer section of the Oscars Nominee Lunch, Best Actress contender and everyone's celebrity BFF Jennifer Lawrence entertained the assembled journalists by revealing how her family plans to spend the night of the Oscars: drunk.
But that's okay. She won't be driving. She'll be carpooling with Sally Field anyway.
Right now Lawrence says her nomination hasn't sunk in and everyone is mostly reserved around her household, but pretty soon, it'll be on. "The night of the Oscars, [my family] just gets wasted and has a blast," she told reporters.
During the luncheon itself, Lawrence got to talking with Best Supporting Actress nominee Field about how tiring award season is, at which point Sally suggested the ladies start carpooling to make things interesting.
Lawrence gushed, "Sally Field asking me to carpool to some cocktail party ... Carpooling with Sally Field. Make my dreams come true."
"And all of us just unload: Hathaway, Watts, Chastain, me! Like a clown car. It'll be a lot more fun that way, and more intense."
We call shotgun. Or hell, just give us the keys and we'll drive.

Thompson Square Celebrate One Another in Romantic, Emotional 'If I Didn't Have You' Video
Thompson Square's 'If I Didn't Have You' video celebrates their relationship in a most emotional way.
The video kicks off with a tender moment between Keifer Thompson and his wife, Shawna. The real-life country music couple is about to climb in the car and take a ride, and Keifer stops to stroke his wife's face. Unfortunately, that's the last time they are seen looking happy together for a while.
The Thompsons happy drive down the road ends abruptly when a car careens into the side of their vehicle. The next time we see the couple together, Shawna is lying in a hospital bed with Keifer by her side.
As the song's intense chorus crescendos, Shawna starts having an out-of-body experience. She's standing in the corner of the hospital room, watching her husband kneel beside her still body.
The hours pass, Shawna still hasn't woken up, and her husband tries everything to rouse her from the coma. He plays the guitar, strokes her hand and talks to her, but nothing works. Just when you think the clip is going to be a major downer, the brunette singer flutters her eyelids, and the couple is reunited.
'If I Didn't Have You' will appear on the band's upcoming album 'Just Feels Good,' which is due on March 26.

Bad things must happen in threes for Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh.
First, an anonymous general manager called him overrated. Next, there was yet another fender-bender. Now, he's being sued.
Gregory and Laura Packer have filed a lawsuit against Suh over a hefty residence security deposit, according to The Oakland Press.
The Packers (no relation to the prominent NFL franchise of the same name) leased a Birmingham, Mich., residence from Suh and his sister, Ngum Suh, and now are seeking twice the amount of the $100,000 security deposit, along with interest, court costs and attorney fees.
The Packer family moved into the residence March 15. They later moved out and notified the Suhs, who haven't returned the deposit and haven't allowed the Packers to retrieve private property still at the residence.
The Suhs also are accused of violating the security deposit law, which states that a security deposit cannot be more than 1.5 times the amount of monthly rent.
Stay tuned for the other side of this one. Suh, meanwhile, heads to Philadelphia for the Lions' Week 6 matchup against the Eagles.

Khloe Kardashian Now the Favorite to Land 'X Factor' Hosting Job
Of all the wannabe hosts who completed screen tests for 'X Factor,' none won over the show's producers like Khloe Kardashian, who is now the favorite to win the hosting job, according to TMZ (via ScreenCrush).
"There's at least an 85% chance she'll get the job," claims a source with knowledge of the process. Producers were blown away with the 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' reality star's audition. They say she's by far the best female who applied and probably the best candidate overall.
FOX execs are evidently cheering hard for Khloe to get the job, given that they are aiming to secure a younger audience this season after bringing on Britney Spears and Demi Lovato to join Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid on the judging panel. Cowell had previously said he wants two hosts, one male and one female, so Kardashian may be sharing hosting duties with some lucky fellow.
TMZ speculates that an official announcement of who will replace Steve Jones as host may not come until next month when the live shows begin airing, but others have reported that the decision will be finalized by Tuesday, Sept. 11, when the entire cast gathers for the Season 2 premiere party at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles.
Would you like to see Khloe Kardashian hosting 'X Factor?' Do you think she can keep Simon and Brit and the rest of those personalities in line? Leave a comment and let us know your thoughts!

ETNE, Norway, Jan. 26 (UPI) —
A Norwegian man was sentenced to 14 months in prison for demolishing his brother's home with a forklift, official said.
The incident happened last summer in the village of Etne, TheLocal.no reported Friday.
Sturla Vik-Vestly, a lawyer for the victim, told TheLocal.no the man decided to demolish his older brother's home after hearing rumors that he planned to knock down an older house on the family property that the younger brother believed he had a right to live in.
The older brother and his 16-year-old son were in the house when the suspect began tearing down walls with the forklift, Vik-Vestly said.
Along with the jail time, the younger brother has been ordered to pay $164,000 in damages to his older brother, and received a five-year driving ban for drunken driving while fleeing the scene.

Diwali is also known as the festival of lights. Thousands of small clay lamps are lit all along the streets and lakes and the sight is a breathtaking yet serene one. Unlike Christmas or New Year there is no set date for the festival. The celebration depends on the timing of the lunar calendar.

Don't burn me at the stake to this, but it's thanks to the 2016+ adaptations...Well, I never actually watched them, but I was motivated to read the manga due to all the comments about how Berserk "deserves a better adaptation" and whatnot. So I thought, why not try it? So I did. Now I'm here, wishing I had waited for it to be over so I wouldn't have to suffer the long waits with the rest of ye...I think that this is really one of the few things good about the 2016-2017 adaptations. Regardless of their quality, they do give exposure to the series and also provide a way for the fans of the manga to express their love for it to more people, by contributing to episode discussions and making memes or whatever. Obviously Berserk should get an adaptation worthy of its name, but at least the current adaptations DO increase the chances of more people learning about the series. Though, if they were actually good they would probably attract even more people to the series...
Be sure to support Berserk by purchasing the manga and enjoy the ride dude.
Back in the day, around 2002/2003, I was eating Mall Chinese food. My fortune cookie said "today your mind will be fucking blown!" Thinking nothing of it I walked into one of those video stores that no longer exist. And there it was, in all its glory, that beautiful red DVD case. 2017 and my minds still blown

Get a Look at Raiden's Arsenal in Metal Gear Rising
The latest trailer for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance shows off the big boss weapons Raiden can unlock after taking them down.
Though Raiden's blade is an impressive weapon in its own right, the bad guys he'll be facing off against in Revengeance have some pretty impressive weapons themselves. Fortunately, once you take the boss characters down, their unique weaponry becomes available to purchase in the in-game store.
The trailer below showcases just how versatile Raiden's attacks can become when using another melee weapon. Each of the different utensils definitely provides a whole new way to play the game, and could result in some very interesting combos when in the right hands.
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is due out on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on Feb. 19th.

In Season: Arugula
Move over, iceberg. Beat it, Boston bibb. Arugula, with its artistically-shaped leaves and peppery flavor, packs quite a flavor punch into each bite. You might also recognize it under the name rocket, a derivation of the French roquette. Originally grown in the Mediterranean region, these days its popularity has grown. While frequently grown in parts of Italy, it can be found all over the world, and used in a variety of international cuisines, including as a digestive alcohol.
When buying arugula, look for vibrantly colored leaves free of wilting or rot. Try to use leaves as soon as possible. To harness its unique taste, try it in sandwiches, mixed in with milder greens in a salad, a classic pizza topping, or an assertive side dish. It can be beautifully effective used in the right quantities—just enough to add its bite and spiciness without overwhelming a dish.
Arugula Recipes
- Steak tagliata with arugula
- Apple, arugula, and pancetta salad
- Seared scallops with spinach and arugula
- Gemelli with asparagus, ricotta, arugula, and lemon zest
- Watermelon, feta, and arugula salad
- Pasta with arugula and tomatoes

President Salva Kiir Mayardit'
Republic of South Sudan
Cc: Lou Nuer elders and Politicians.
Subject: PRESS RELEASE: Lou Nuer Community Rejected some elders and politicians' six (6) points Letter to the President as Betrayal and Shameful Act
The Lou Nuer Community (LNC) worldwide is shocked and appalled by the divisive and unproductive move made by some of our elders and politicians, hence, the intention of this Press Release is to condemn them in the strongest terms possible. These elders and politicians are puppets and stooges of Gabriel Yoal Dok, Dr. Barnaba Marial Bejamin, and John Luk Joak, who have taken them to the President on Thursday, 25 April 2013, where they handed over the 14 April 2013 six (6) points letter which says "the Lou Nuer Community is hereby reaffirming that we are fully behind you and will stand firm with you in the 2015 General Election."
The Lou Nuer Youth in general and Lou Nuer women and the Lou Nuer in Diaspora are outraged and disgusted by this betrayal of the Community by these elders and politicians who have chosen food above the LNC. We denounce it and we reject it completely. Calling for youth in general and women and LNC members in Diaspora to distance themselves from this political wrangling between the President and his Vice does not make sense since they have taken sides with the President, even though the Community has not taken sides yet; therefore, any advices from these elders and politicians is no longer worthy.
Before addressing whether this is the position of the LNC or not, it is worth mentioning that this meeting between the President and the individual elders and politicians comes as a result of the meeting which was held earlier on Sunday, 14 April 2013 in John's house. In that meeting all MPs of the Greater Akobo were invited and the agenda was about theirs position regarding the current situation between the President and the Vice. At the end of the deliberation, all the MPs agreed to take no position until the General Election period in 2015.
Unfortunately, now we have learned that some of these elders and politicians have gone to the President where they made a declaration without shame and in disgrace that the LNC is fully behind him in 2015 General Election contrary to what was agreed in the meeting where they were all present.
These individuals' elders and politicians were declaring this position without consulting with the members of the community in Greater Akobo Counties, Juba, or in Diaspora. How did they come up with this then? This is what we are going to address in the next paragraphs in details.
First of all, we would like to make it crystal clear that LNC is not a Political Party which can go simply the way these elders and politicians would want it to be as it is clear in their six (6) points letter. We are one Community and we are always united when there are things that threaten our existence as a people here in the Republic of South Sudan. We are united in saying no to this position.
We are also aware that we do not belong to one political party where we can go according to what the elders and politicians said. We do respect each other's views when it comes to politics, and no one can make a choice for another in our community so what these elders and politicians are trying to do is for the first time since Mr. Peter Gatkuoth Gual and Mr. Chiech Lam were in politics.
Due to these reasons, we would like to make it abundantly clear that we did not hold a meeting as Community where we deliberated about 2015 General Election and agreed all to support President Salva Kiir. We feel that it would be premature to speculate on position since we have a long way to go. Why should we speculate on positions while we still have two more years to go?
The 14th April 2013 six (6) Points letter submitted to the President is only representing the position of those individual elders and politicians who wrote it and does not represent the whole community. Anyone who claims that it is for the whole Community should now know it is not. As a Community we will have a position when the time is right but not now.
The message to the President is that these three (3) guys will fail you if you will depend on them. You will fail the 2015 General Election; if you rely on them for everything, because they will never tell you what the Lou Nuer Community really want so that they can vote for you.
1. These elders and politicians are out of touch with the reality.
2. They are out of touch with the ordinary members of the Lou Nuer Community.
3. And they are out of touch with the mainstream of the Lou Nuer Community.
Let's brief you a little bit about them so that you can know you will fail the 2015 General election, if these are your massengers to the Greater Akobo Counties in 2015.
John is a failed politician and has reduced himself to a Clan-Chief by listening only to his tribal mates from Cie-Kuayiea, let alone community Chief where community Chief is larger than a section and section is larger than a clan. Imagine if that is the status of the man in the eyes of the people of the Greater Akobo.
John is a failed politician who cannot convince anyone to vote for him, let alone voting for others and the good example of that was 2010 General Election where he lost in his home constituency to an Independence Candidate while the majority of the SPLM candidates won. John has no supporter in Greater Akobo Counties. Actually it was only in 2010 when he appears to be having people when he used to have a Youth Group Called Akobo SPLM Youth Group which was led by Mai Tang Ngor. That Youth Group was later disbanded by Mai Tang who got no choice but to cease its activities and disbanded it for good because the Chie-Kuayiea boys, including the current Commissioner of Akobo County, were on his neck that he has taken their uncle or father hostage just because he is getting along with John.
However, many people at the time see this as a jealousy from these boys. One of this boys is now the Office Manager of John in the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) that is Gatluak Puk. A Nuer with 6 Nuer Marks on his head with no qualifications and experiences, but only experienced in beer drinking and was made an office manager because he drink whisky together with John. While this chaos in the Group was unfolding John chose to be quiet and did not say anything to these boys at home to know it off from destroying the Group. As a result the Group disappeared, the very Group which was formed for the intention of promoting him.
This guy is a Dinka-born-again Nuer at his current age who always speaks in English in the LNC meeting. This guy is not serious and no one takes him seriously because he does not know ThokLoka, let alone ThokNaath; so, how can he deliver Lou Nuer Community to the President if John Luk who is a Nuer by birth and speak ThokLoka as well as ThokNaath cannot deliver?
Dr. Barnaba is only in Uror to raise his family in the name of representing Uror County or DakKaDiak. He has no influence in the Lou Nuer Community whatsoever.
This is an old guard – an outdated politician still alive today in the Lou Nuer community. This old man is out of touch with most members of the Lou Nuer Community. In the last Election he cannot even convince his own area to vote for him, can he convince the entire Lou Nuer Community to vote for Salvakiir?
This is a stomach politician and lonely eater, stingy and selfish. This guy has no value in LNC and does not know how to speak, even in the Church, let alone Parliament or Political rally, so how can he get the Lou Nuer members to vote for Kiir?
We are not interested to take sides at the moment but we would like to dispute some of the points made by John Luk in the 14th April 2013 Six (6) points Letter to the President, especially when it comes to the democratic system in the SPLM.
Cde. John,
What democratic system is there in the SPLM when at the moment in the process of the approval of the basic documents you are setting up a dictatorship system?
1. For instance, if we have democratic system and should be maintained in our Party, why are you allowing the proposed 18 members of the Political Bureau (PB) to be appointed all by the Chairman of the Party after the 3rd National Convention?
2. Why should the Secretary General (SG), the Chief Administrative Officer of the Party be subjected to the selection by the PB and not the National Convention (NC) as usual?
3. And why did the suggestion for the term limit (for how many times) the Chairman of the Party can run for the Presidency of the Republic of the South Sudan was dropped in the process of the approval of the basic documents by the PB which you are part of —just to mention a few…..
By the way you have nullified and dissolved the National Liberation Council (NLC) and the NC by approving the proposed SPLM Constitution which has placed all powers only in the hands of the Chairman.
Another interesting point from John's Six (6) points Letter to the President is, where he had made it clear that the Lou Nuer area is the worst affected and neglected which has been torn apart by insecurity and all kinds of problems, including lack of development in the RSS, yet, he and some elders and politicians from LNC are approving the work of the President and promising him another vote of LNC in 2015 General Election.
What a contradictory statement? What a world we live in, and what a Community led by fools?
From this statement is where you begin to know clearly how these elders and politicians of the LNC think when we are at a crossroad or a critical future. These elders and politicians of ours always put theirs interest first above the community and a good example of that is this six 6 points letter of John to the President of the RSS.
When it comes to the point that one should not campaign tribal in the letter of John, because SPLM has a system and political structures of solving these things is where also you begin to realize what John is doing here.
On the point of tribalism here, John is pleasing his master, the President and accusing the Vice President of being tribal only to secure his position in the upcoming Cabinet reshuffle.
However, the good things for the accused is that gone are the days when one can lie much about you and people will believe it. These days one cannot lie anymore because nowadays the majority of the South Sudanese people are reading internet, newspapers, watch SSTV, and share what is happening on daily basis.
Having said that, none of the four candidates who have declared their bid for Presidency of the RSS are free from organizing people tribally. So, John should cease pleasing his Master by accusing people for the same thing which his master is performing.
In terms of the ones who are vying for Chairmanship of the SPLM and the President of the Country, we see it as their right as citizens of this Country and members of the SPLM contrary to the way John had alluded to in his appeasing Letter to the President.
Absolutely there are processes and steps to be followed in the SPLM in order to prevent division and split within the Party, but also it requires lobbying, mobilization, and campaign on the side of those who are vying for positions, unlike the way John would want us to believe.
In addition, these structures and Policy organs of the Party are not free from tribalism and dictatorship, instead they are turned into fields of domination by some over others because they've been rigged and not working according to the interest of all the members of the Party.
So why would John want us to believe in rigged organs and structures and not allow individuals to come up with their own ideas and say I wanted to be a Chairman or President as it is happening now?
Our message to these elders and politicians is to play a united role between the President and the Vice President by reconciling them, because taking sides will not solve anything but instead it will widen the differences between the two leaders. We need the two leaders to be working together for the development of the Country and for the success of the SPLM 3rd National Convention, as well as the General Election in 2015.
To the President:
Our Community has been torn apart by war and many things which some of them are caused by your government and you failed to provide solutions for it. Our community is lacking the following:
1. No roads from Bor to Greater Akobo Counties
2. No schools and health facilities in the Lou Nuer area which have been established.
3. Our community has been disarmed more than 4 times where we have been left unprotected and insecure.
4. We are the single largest Community in Jonglei, but up to now we have never been considered for Governorship Position.
We feel that we have two more years to go and we see this as a big opportunity for you to address some of these challenges before the Election, because our votes in 2015 General Election will not be influenced by number of ministers, Chairpersons, or Deputy Chairpersons you had given us or you will be giving us in the future, and also it will not be influenced by the 4 mentioned elders and politicians, but by the four mentioned points regarding development in the Lou Nuer areas, as well as the following four points below which we want you to make improvement on when it comes to South Sudan-wide.
Those points are here as follow:
1. Insecurity
2. Corruption
3. Tribalism in Ministries
4. And employment issue
There is a saying in America that when, "Ohio goes, so goes the presidency.." When we and our neighbors of Dinka Bor, Greater Fangak, Anuak, Kacippo and Murle decide in 2015 then it will be known that Jonglei State has decided and when Jonglei goes, so Goes the Presidency!
Singned: By Lou Nuer members worldwide.
1. Peter DakNhial– Chairman- Jonglei State; 2. Simon PurThok- Jonglei State; 3. BilGatluakChuol; 4. William BiliewJal; 5. Paul RuotGatluak; 6. Paul KuolGatluak; 7. James Pal Chuol; 8.

Many Catholics associate "being called" with a vocation to the priesthood or religious life. However all Catholics, lay and ordained, are called to serve others.
A year ago I wrote a piece on the same subject that appeared in The Catholic Spirit, newspaper of the Diocese of Metuchen, N.J. Unfortunately, that piece is not available online.
In the Archdiocese of Louisville, Ky., Archbishop Joseph E. Kurtz spoke to young people about their calling as Catholics at an Ignite Your Torch youth conference. The Record has more on the event in this recently published story.
The Servant Leadership Center in Toledo, Ohio, is a place where "people who are passionate about justice are invited to explore their gifts and discern where God is calling them." The Catholic Chronicle, diocesan newspaper in Toledo, published this profile of the center.

On May 7th Navy veteran Joshua Brown was killed in his Tesla Model S when it collided with a tractor trailer that came into his lane. News broke days ago as it came to light Brown was using the Tesla's much praised Autopilot system which allows it to navigate itself on the highway through use of sensors, radar, and camera systems. Brown was allegedly watching a Harry Potter movie on a portable DVD player at the time of the accident, which adds to an already alarming list of people testing the limits of the system with stunts such as playing Jenga and sleeping.
Vehicular accidents are common and unfortunately many are fatal. While car manufacturers have made great strides in vehicle safety, with vehicular deaths plummeting year after year, we are still far away from a completely safe experience. Tesla's autopilot system is pitched as a convenience to those who don't care much for the act of driving itself, but many people have been calling it a safety system that can save you in the event of an accident regardless if that lines up or not with Tesla's statement that responsibility is ultimately in the hands of the driver. Even Brown himself had posted a video just a month earlier praising the system for avoiding an accident he had experienced. Since the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's investigation into the case has tempered Tesla's comments regarding the system, needless to say they are walking on eggshells saying what the system can and cannot do now as opposed to the more relaxed and ideological pitch before. The question on some minds is whether Tesla is doing enough to educate the public about the system and whether the marketing, including the choice of name "Autopilot", is creating a false perception about the system's capability.
Tesla's explanation of the system was contradictory to a statement Mobileye, who provides the equipment and software used by the Autopilot system, gave to Streetinsider just after the crash. Their Chief Communications Officer, Dan Galves, issued the following statement.
""We have read the account of what happened in this case. Today's collision avoidance technology, or Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) is defined as rear-end collision avoidance, and is designed specifically for that. This incident involved a laterally crossing vehicle, which current-generation AEB systems are not designed to actuate upon. Mobileye systems will include Lateral Turn Across Path (LTAP) detection capabilities beginning in 2018, and the Euro NCAP safety ratings will include this beginning in 2020."
What will this mean for Tesla and for Self-Driving cars in general? Buyer confidence in the system, which is already found in limited form in many car manufacturers like Mercedes and Ford (while these systems help to avoid collisions and to help driving in traffic, they usually require the driver's hands to be on the wheel, though some have found ways to circumvent this), will certainly take a hit but it's very possible that hit won't affect Tesla despite being in the foreground of the incident. Public perception of Tesla is still very high, and while a company like BMW, who just announced their first self-driving car a day after the news blitz on this incident, may find themselves having difficulty in overcoming buyer uncertainty in their system, Tesla will likely not have the same issues. Their lack of competition and the perception of their technology standing out from the crowd despite using many of the same components will help them weather the storm just as it did when Tesla vehicles had similar controversy with cars lighting on fire, the same controversy that caused their lone competitior Fisker to go under. It may be cynical to consider the boon to business Tesla will gain from this death, but the incident will hopefully help foster an industry wide effort to pitch such an advanced but potentially dangerous system in more concrete language.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Shareholders are getting a rough deal in Dell's ( DELL) $24.4 billion buyout, according to respondents to TheStreet's poll on the massive tech LBO. Dell earlier this week announced that CEO Michael Dell and private-equity specialist Silver Lake Partners are acquiring the company in a deal worth $24.4 billion. Under the terms of the transaction, Dell shareholders will receive $13.65 a share in cash, a premium of 25% to the company's closing price Jan. 11, when rumors of the deal emerged. Some 87% of the respondents to TheStreet's poll, however, described the premium as a "joke," with only the remaining 13% seeing the buyout as a good deal for shareholders. Michael Dell, of course, describes the take-private transaction as a win-win, both for the No. 3 PC maker and its shareholders. "I believe this transaction will open an exciting new chapter for Dell, our customers and team members," he wrote, in a statement released on Tuesday. "We can deliver immediate value to stockholders, while we continue the execution of our long-term strategy and focus on delivering best-in-class solutions to our customers as a private enterprise." The deal requires shareholder approval. Nonetheless, the 25% premium has already prompted some raised eyebrows on Wall Street. "The big question is whether shareholders will approve as it is only a slight premium to the current share price," wrote Sterne Agee analyst Shaw Wu, in a note released on Tuesday. "On the other hand, some may be glad to be 'bailed out' and vote in favor as it hasn't been easy being a shareholder over the last few years." Dell shares have tumbled more than 33% in the last five years, weighed down by a weakening PC market, and pressure from tablet devices such as Apple's ( AAPL) iPad. By going private, the Round Rock, Texas.-based firm hopes to gain the flexibility needed to charge into more lucrative areas such as enterprise software and services. On Wednesday, Citi Research analyst Jim Suva upgraded Dell to "neutral" from :sell," citing the likelihood of the deal going through. "With the exception of 1-2 large institutional shareholders, getting majority shareholder approval seems doable given the 25% share premium," he wrote. Dell shares dipped 0.15% to $13.50 in premarket trading on Thursday. --Written by James Rogers in New York.

Beretta Holsters
Beretta is probably the largest company producing firearms in the world. It's output is approximately 1,500 produced weapons a day. One of the biggest achievements of Beretta is definitely the fact that the American Armed Forces and State Police Forces started using Beretta 92 series in 1985. The company added to its classical sporting guns production a completely new line of hunting apparel and accessories, clay target shooting and outdoor sports items in the early 1990s.
Today is this unique company owned by Ugo Gussalli Beretta and his sons, Franco and Pietro. What makes Beretta Beretta if not the traditional father-to-son dynasty? However their dynasty was a little interrupted because Ugo married into the Beretta family and he adopted the last name Beretta. Beretta Holding that is the parent company also owns Beretta USA, Stoeger, Benelli, Franchi, SAKO, Uberti, Tikka and the Burris Optics company. Besides numerous high-quality firearms, the Beretta family produces a plenty of renowned Italian wines. Around 1950, Giuseppe Beretta, Luigi Castelbarco and motorcycle designer Giuseppe Benelli started designing and manufacturing automobiles.
In 2015 the company celebrated the 100-year anniversary of the production of Beretta's first semi-automatic pistol. Although the company's trademark sidearm is 92FS, its semi-automatic roots rest with the Model 1915, that was adopted by Italian forces during the World War I.
