Yitheen & Erin | Hindi Wedding | Joosub Hall, Westville
So guys, this post is 1 year 10 days after the fact but I just could not let this slip into the archives without sharing. Here's a peek at my radiantly beautiful cousin Erin and her charmer Yitheen on their wedding day. I've snuck in a few pre-wedding images (for the family) towards the end. This was a special wedding, not just because it was my dear cousin's big day, but on the day of her mendhi I got confirmation that I was 7 weeks pregnant. Shooting a family wedding is always awesome but shooting it pregnant, chomping on pretzels to ward off the nausea is another story. To top…
Namalan & Preshni | Tamil Wedding, Amanzimtoti Hall
I've been rather quiet on this blog for a few months. Who can blame me, with the arrival of my sparkly new baby girl born at the end of January, my attention has been swung in her favour. Shooting Namalan & Preshni's wedding this passed weekend was definitely one way of getting me to channel my energies back into Bodhi related business. Two years of wedding planning finally culminated into a weekend of splendour and festivities. Having jetted off to Bali for their honeymoon, I thought I'd sneak this post in as a little tease. Enjoy 🙂 Service Providers: Venue | Amanzimtoti Hall Catering | Bhagwan's Catering Decor, Lighting, Sound | Golden Events…

Quite delayed with this post but just had to share some of the beautiful craziness from this awesome couples wedding. Thoroughly enjoyed their natural flow and easygoing nature.
Randhir & Candice | Hindi Wedding, Hilton Hotel, Durban
Randhir & Candice are absolute sweethearts. My first meeting with them was a feeling of familiarity. I couldn't help but be completely comfortable with them, especially so with Candice who is truly something special. Her incessant positivity and warmth is infectious. Even more special is her voice of a nightingale which took me by surprise on their wedding day and had most of the guests in tears (me included, even though I didn't know what the song meant at the time. My understanding of hindi has never been the best). Their wedding was an intimate affair (by Indian wedding standards) with some truly special moments that they will cherish. It was…
Suyash & Thejal | Hindi Wedding, Tongaat Town Hall
Besides Thejal, am I the only person in love with her lengha? I adore the layers and princess feel. Suyash & Thejal had a traditional hindi ceremony on a rather cold and rainy day.

We met in a club on shanil"s birthday, but we tell everyone the first version *wink wink*. But the love at first sight part is true…
Shahil & Ulisha's Hindi Wedding | Kendra Hall, Durban
Shooting Shahil and Ulisha's wedding was like a feast for Shreenu (my right hand gal with disprin and all) and I be it visually, emotionally or other. We were made to feel special and welcomed from the moment we entered Ulisha's home. Before we even got a proper hello out, granny was already offering us something to drink and eat. Shabier and Peter (videographer) were already quite comfortable at this point at the dining room table 🙂 Faieza, (one of my favourite people who styled me for my wedding) did an awesome job with hair and make-up because watching Ulisha get into bride mode was simply breathtaking. Kamal and Krish from…
Dinesh & Ashwini's Hindi Wedding | DLI Hall, Durban
Dinesh and Ashwini were awesome to work with, relaxed, friendly and kind. Ashwini has a quiet confidence about her, whose inner beauty definitely translated through the lens. Dinesh didn't particularly like being photographed (like most grooms) but I think he looked dashing. Here's a peek at their wedding… What is your most special memory of your wedding? For me, the most special part was walking down the aisle and seeing my groom looking at me.. beaming with joy. He looked so handsome and so happy! What was the hardest part of the planning process? The hardest part of the planning process.. Hmmm that's a tough one! I think apart…

Hollywood actor and pro-Tibet activist Richard Gere on Tuesday (June 30) testified to the U.S. Senate that Chinese censorship on industries like information and entertainment act as a non-tariff barrier to trade.
"The U.S. opened its doors to Chinese products, Chinese investments in various forms of Chinese cultural influence, including state media… But as you also know, China does not reciprocate. Access to Chinese market is limited," Gere told the Subcommittee on International Trade, Customs, and Global Competitiveness via video conferencing.
Gere is the chairman of the International Campaign for Tibet and has long advocated for better treatment by China of ethnic minorities in the restive region.
The hearing comes as Beijing on Tuesday unveiled new national security laws for Hong Kong that will punish crimes of secession, subversion, terrorism and collusion with foreign forces with up to life in prison, heralding a more authoritarian era for China's freest city.
Washington, already in dispute with China over trade, the South China Sea and the coronavirus, began eliminating Hong Kong's special status under U.S. law on Monday, halting defence exports and restricting technology access.

Sir John Beverley Robinson: Bone and Sinew of the Compact
© 1984
John Beverley Robinson (1791–1863) was one of Upper Canada's foremost jurists, a dominating influence on the ruling élite, and a leading citizen of nineteenth-century Toronto who owned a vast tract of land on which Osgoode Hall now stands.
The loyalists had founded a colony firm in its devotion to the Crown, with little room for dissent. As a true loyalist son, educated by John Strachan, Robinson attempted to steer Upper Canada toward emulation of what he perceived to be Britain's ideal aristocratic society.
As a young ensign in the York militia, he defended his sovereign at Queenston Heights, and as acting attorney-general he prosecuted traitors who threatened to undermine the colony. Later, as attorney-general and de facto leader of the assembly during the 1820s, he tried to mould the government to the British form. But factors he never understood—the influence of American democracy and liberalism in the Colonial Office—ensured that Upper Canada would never be a 'new Albion.'
Robinson was appointed chief justice in 1829, and his judicial career spanned thirty-three years, during which he insisted the courts were subservient to the legislature and established precedents declaring their role should be limited to the enforcement of existing laws, with no independent creative function. His long service on the bench represented both a preservation and a strengthening of the British tradition in Canadian law.
In this biography, early Toronto comes alive through the eyes of a powerful man—firm in his beliefs, attractive to women, respected by his fellows—who sought to mould society to his own ideals. For historians, lawyers, and students of jurisprudence who seek an understanding of the roots of legal practice in nineteenth-century Ontario, it is essential reading.

WEEK 7: Managing for inclusion: Equality and Workplace diversity…
Managing for inclusion:
Equality and Workplace diversity
Term used to describe differences
among individuals
E.g. age, race, ethnicity, physical characteristics,
(height, weight, etc.) mental and physical ability, personality, sexual orientation etc.
In addition to the above differences, workplace diversity also encompasses differences in religious beliefs, educational attainment, experience, family status, parental status, pregnancy etc.
It is necessary to manage diversity as the Australian population comprises of...
• 28% born overseas, third highest in world
• Overseas-born residents contribute to more than 50% of population growth – over 300 languages
• Those born in Europe are declining while those born in Asia and Africa are increasing
• Overseas-born population from Asia and Africa have proportionally larger young (0-14 years) and working age (15-64 years) populations compared to those from Europe
• Indigenous Australians comprise of approx. 2.4% of the population
• Over the next 50 years, approx. ¼ Australians will be 65 years or older
• Increasing labour force participation of women
• Increase in dual-earner households with dependent children, single-parent households, and the 'sandwich generation'
The glass ceiling
what is it?
A phenomenon that limits the advancement of women and other minority groups to senior managerial positions in organisations
only 25% of key management positions on company boards are held by women in Australia
However, in the public service 40% of all senior executive positions filled by women
Eastern European and Scandinavian nations lead the way in abolishing the glass ceiling
overcoming the glass ceiling
Changing societal norms around the role of women and eradicating gender bias
Eliminating the stigmatisation of men who choose to stay home for family reasons
introduction of paid-parental leave schemes, especially for men that goes beyond 'one week'
Introducing gender quotas for company boards
Realising that a more representative blend of women and men in senior roles just makes good business sense
social dilemmas of workplace diversity:
- Individual participation
- Managerial participation
- Organisational participation
Individual participation:
The success of organisational diversity initiatives is dependent upon the degree to which its employees embrace/resist them
Formation of subgroups along social categories may result in restricting the movement of information
Due to exclusion, employees may form further informal subgroups resulting in subgroup competition
Managerial participation:
A consequence of the dilemma of individual participation
Managers likely to recruit individuals they perceive to be similar to them (i.e. their social category)
Individuals may also seek out managers that are similar to them
Those that do not 'fit in' often leave resulting in a homogenous workforce
Can result in 'power battles'
Organisational participation:
Dependent upon how well the social dilemmas relating to individual and managerial participation are addressed
Incorrect perceptions in relation to the relationship between homogenous workers and employee turnover
Belief that diversity initiatives benefit society not organisations implementing them, organisations bear the costs and accrue little benefit
Focus on short-term costs and not long-term benefits
Creates barriers for selecting highly talented candidates due to ill informed and short sighted views
Overcoming social dilemmas of workplace diversity:
The management problem- overcoming individual & managerial participation.
The public policy problem - overcoming organisational participation.
• Avoiding the creation of legislation hat results in 'protected classes' of workers
• Instead requiring legislation that requires firms to develop and implement diversity initiatives that result in sustainable success.
• Not focusing on encouraging just diversity but, 'effective' diversity.
• Education curricula at primary/secondary level.
Social identity Theory
Social identity theory stipulates that individuals validate their social identity by favouring their 'ingroup' at the expense of 'out-groups'
Individuals perceive that it is 'easier' to communicate with other members of their 'ingroup' as they are more predictable, trustworthy and more likely to reciprocate favours
A shared social identity increases perceived differences between individuals belonging to different social categories
The success of organisational diversity initiatives is dependent upon mitigating these perceived differences

2004 Annual Science Report
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Reporting | JUL 2003 – JUN 2004
Executive Summary
The central goal of the Goddard Center for Astrobiology is to understand how organic compounds are created, destroyed, and altered, during stellar evolution leading up to the origin of life on a planet, such as Earth. Planetary systems form by collapse of dense interstellar cloud cores. Some stages in this evolution can be directly observed when stellar nurseries are imaged, while other stages remain cloaked behind an impenetrable veil of dust and gas. Yet to understand the origin of life on Earth, we must first develop a comprehensive understanding of the formation of our own planetary system. To understand the probability of finding life elsewhere we must understand both the similarities and differences between the evolution of our own system and that of a typical star.
Dense cloud cores are very cold (10-50K); their dust grains are coated with ices comprised of water and organic compounds. Many of these organics have potential relevance to the origin or early evolution of life, if delivered to planets. The survival of these organics through the violent birth-phase of a star is less certain. Properties of the young star (its mass, spectral energy distribution, whether it formed in isolation or as a multiple star, etc.) help control the evolution of organic material in the proto-planetary disk. The location within the disk is important since the nature and effectiveness of such processing depends strongly on distance from the young star, on distance above the nebular mid-plane, and on time. The ultimate delivery of these primitive organics to young planets and their moons also evolves with time, as the bodies grow in size and as the nebula clears.
We seek to better understand the organic compounds generated and destroyed in the interstellar and proto-planetary environments, through observational, theoretical, and laboratory work. We have begun to examine the potential for and limitations to delivery of exogenous pre-biotic organics to planets, examining factors that enhance or restrict this potential. To follow these factors over time, from the natal cloud core through the end of the late heavy bombardment (~ 4.1 Ga) and evaluate the possible role of exogenous organic material in terrestrial biogenesis, we have divided the research into four themes as well as our education and public outreach program. These themes are:
Theme 1: Establish the taxonomy of icy planetesimals and asteroids to evaluate their potential for delivering pre-biotic organics and water to the young Earth and other planets.
Theme 2: Investigate processes affecting the origin and evolution of organics in planetary systems.
Theme 3: Conduct laboratory simulations of processes that likely affected the chemistry of material in natal interstellar cloud cores and in proto-planetary disks.
Theme 4: Develop advanced methods for the in-situ analysis of complex organics in small bodies in the Solar System.
This first year of our NAI participation saw major emphasis on infrastructure: recruiting students, staff, and permanent employees, updating computational facilities, building laboratories, and furnishing them with equipment. In addition to the five undergraduate students recruited through our summer internship program, we recruited two additional undergraduates and two high school students for part-time work. Beyond this we recruited a graduate student, three post-doctoral researchers, two senior soft money scientists, and hired one civil servant as a result of establishing the Goddard Center for Astrobiology.
Besides positioning ourselves for research activities next year with staff and equipment, and participating in numerous meetings and workshops, we secured time on telescopes for the observation of comets (on the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF), the Keck Observatory, and the Five College Radio Astronomy Observatory ) and young stellar objects (on the Very Large Array).
In addition to planting these seeds for the future, each of the four themes has made progress in our scientific goals. An important laboratory goal of Theme 1 is to fingerprint late additions to the Moon using the relative abundances of the highly-siderophile elements that occur in high abundance in likely impactors, but extremely low abundance in the indigenous lunar crust. The initial work has consisted of selecting and separating pure melt rock from lunar highlands breccias. 2g of two Apollo 17 breccias (Figure 1) were obtained from the Johnson Space Center curatorial facilities; we have cleanly separated 13 chips from one and 6 chips from the other to measure Os isotopes and other highly siderophile element abundances. Final checks on the chemical blanks for the separation and measurement procedures are being completed. The analytical work; powdering, dissolving, separating elements of interest, and mass spectrometric measurements, start in July, 2004.
Apollo 17 lunar melt rocks have been selected and are ready for analysis of highly siderophile element abundances and osmium isotopic compositions.
A second objective in Theme 1, establishing the taxonomy of icy planetesimals, has also made progress with the measurement of CO, CH4 , and other volatile organic constituents at high spectral resolution in three comets; one short-period, Jupiter Family Comet (JFC) (2P/Encke) and two long-period, Oort Cloud comets (C/2001 Q4 NEAT and C/2002 T7 LINEAR). In particular, spectra of Comet 2P/Encke were obtained at high spatial and spectral resolution about the nucleus; rotational temperatures of coma gases were between 25 to 30K, methane was severely depleted while the relative abundances of ethane, methanol, hydrogen cyanide, and acetylene in this JFC agreed with those of "typical" Oort Cloud comets.
A vital component of Theme 2 is the observation of proto-planetary disks (proplyds); (near-infrared single-slit cross-dispersed echelle and grating spectrometer (NIRSPEC) operating at the Nasmyth focus on Keck II Observatory, HI) spectra of the proplyd HST 10 in Orion are being processed Using the Very Large Array we have detected the first three carbon sugar (dihydroxyacetone) in star- (and planet-) forming molecular clouds. This detection highlights the role of prebiotic chemistry long before planetary surfaces are amenable to the synthesis of such compounds, and suggests that the chemistry leading to life is widespread throughout the universe. Theme 2 investigators are measuring infrared flux and spectrum of the transiting extrasolar planet HD 209458b and are also using ground-based data to measure the infrared spectrum of the planet from 2 to 5 microns, using a similar technique.
Theme 3 is entirely focused on laboratory work. One aspect simulates the vacuum and low-temperature environment of space using a high vacuum chamber and a cryostat. Ice samples condensed on a cooled mirror inside the cryostat are irradiated with 1 MeV protons to simulate cosmic-ray bombardment or are photolyzed to simulate vacuum-ultraviolet (UV) exposure. Motivated by detections of nitriles in Titan's atmosphere, cometary comae, and the interstellar medium, we completed laboratory investigations of the low temperature chemistry of acetonitrile, propionitrile, acrylonitrile, cyanoacetylene, and cyanogen (CH3 CN, CH3 CH2 CN, CH2 CHCN, HCCCN, and NCCN, respectively). Trends were sought, and found, in the photo- and radiation chemical products of these molecules at 12 – 25K. In the absence of water, all of these molecules isomerized to isonitriles, and CH3 CN, CH3 CH2 CN, and (CH3) 2 CHCN also formed ketenimines. In the presence of H2O, no isonitriles were detected but rather the isocyante ion (OCN
/sup>) was seen in all cases. Although isonitriles, ketenimines, and OCN were the main focus of this work, we also examined cases of hydrogen loss, to make smaller nitriles, and hydrogen addition (reduction), to make larger nitriles. HCN formation was seen in most experiments. These results are directly applicable to the nitrile ice chemistry on Titan, in cometary ice, and in the interstellar medium.
Members of Theme 3 have synthesized autofluorescent membranes (Figure 2), and possibly even vesicles, from a realistic interstellar ice mixture (H2O, CH3 OH, NH3, and CO at 15 K) using the same experimental equipment discussed above. The properties of these membranes are being characterized by collaborator D. Deamer (University of California, Santa Cruz).

Members of Theme 3 have developed computer codes for chemical kinetic calculations in the solar nebula as a function of temperature, pressure, and mixing rate (parameterized as an eddy diffusion coefficient). Experimental studies of the efficiency of different types of catalysts for conversion of CO + H2 to CH4 have been completed. We have also observed that the carbonaceous coating deposited onto the surfaces of amorphous iron silicate and magnesium silicate grains during the surface-mediated conversion of CO, N2 and H2 into more complex hydrocarbons (previously believed to "poison" such grain catalysts) also reacts with CO, N2 and H2 to form complex organic products. These results imply that, to some degree, nearly all solid materials in the primitive solar nebula could serve as substrates to convert CO, N2 and H2 into organic materials.
The development of instruments for organic analysis on space missions is the crux of Theme 4. To prepare for flyby, rendezvous, and sample return missions to comets, the development of advanced organic analysis techniques has been initiated. These techniques include: laser desorption mass spectrometry; pyrolysis mass spectrometry; and the solvent extraction of organic molecules followed by chemical derivatization. In the initial stages of this work a variety of Mars analog materials such as Atacama desert soils, Hawaiian basalts, meteoritic sample s, and solid material generated by some of the nitrile irradiations conducted by Theme 3 have been used to cross compare these techniques. Some of these materials also serve as cometary analogs and the chemistries developed for their analysis may be relevant for future cometary research.
Initial analyses of carbonaceous chondrites and simple carbon-matrix standards with laser desorption methods have contributed to a developing database of refractory macromolecular materials that may be present in comets and other small bodies. This database should lead to increased understanding of (i) parent body synthesis and processing; (ii) impact survival of more fragile incorporated compounds; and (iii) enhanced in situ protocols for determining the full breadth of cometary organics.
Finally, our team has made great progress in our education and public outreach endeavors. In the Spring and Summer of 2004 educational efforts of the Goddard Center for Astrobiology included the implementation of a pilot program called the 2004 Summer Undergraduate Internship in Astrobiology (SUGIA), the initiation of a high school curriculum development project with the Minority Institution Astrobiology Collaborative (MIAC) and the modification of an undergraduate Astronomy course at the University of Maryland College Park (UMCP) to focus on Life in the Universe. In addition, we are working with MIAC to systematically observe comets through emission-line filters at optical wavelengths. This effort is led by Dr. Donald Walter (South Carolina State University), and will utilize telescopes in Arizona. Imaging studies on the Kitt Peak 1.3-m telescope are in the science-testing phase, and should be completed by the end of 2004. Monitoring of comet 9P/Tempel 1 is planned for spring/summer, 2005 to support the Deep Impact mission. Dr. Walter is in residence at GSFC in summer, 2004, through our Summer Faculty Fellowship Program, working closely with Co-I DiSanti on aspects of our database of cometary IR spectra.

Sixty-year old Martha DeClerq cares for her mentally disabled sister, Pauline (Dora van der Groen), in a small town between Brussels and the seaside. Pauline cannot feed herself, tie her shoes, or speak in full sentences; she is stubborn, loving, occasionally mischievous, and particularly devoted to her sister, Paulette (Ann Petersen), who owns a small, tidy shop in town. Cecile (Rosemarie Bergmans), the youngest sister, lives in Brussels with a French intellectual, Albert, and has little contact with her siblings.
When Martha dies, her will stipulates that her estate be split equally between the three sisters, only if Paulette and Cecile care for Pauline themselves. They agree to share Pauline's care. Although the sisters are fond of Pauline, their relationship with her is awkward and tentative. Initially, Paulette brings Pauline home, and they negotiate the new living arrangements with a mixture of embarrassment and kindness, frustration and delight. When the burden of caring for her sister becomes overwhelming, Pauline is deposited in Brussels at Cecile's tiny, meticulously kept apartment. When these arrangements become unworkable, Pauline is eventually institutionalized.

Art. Rage.Us. Is a powerful collection of works by more than 70 artists and writers with breast cancer whose creative impulse was to transform their illness into an artistic form not only as part of their own healing but also for others to learn from their experiences. The expressions are varied, from poetry recording the experience of breast imaging, breast reconstruction, or chemotherapy; to self-portraits after mastectomy; to a collage of conflicting research reports and alternative therapies; to short autobiographical prose pieces.

Genre: Novel
In this novel medicine and politics interface, with disastrous results. The time is the early 1950s, the place Leningrad, and the Soviet leader is Josef Stalin. Andrei Mikhailovich Alekseyev is a conscientious young pediatrician in a city hospital. Though Andrei has been warned to be careful, he chooses to take on Gorya, a patient with osteosarcoma, the only child of Volkov, an official high in the Ministry for State Security. Dr. Brodskaya, a Jewish woman surgeon, performs a biopsy and recommends amputation above the knee. Andrei recommends that she perform the surgery. But Gorya develops lung cancer. Brodskaya applies for a transfer to Yerevan, well aware that Volkov will take revenge if the boy doesn't improve, but Andrei decides to stay in Leningrad.
He lives a spartan existence with his wife, Anna, and Anna's younger brother, 16. They bicycle out to their country dacha to fish and harvest fruits and vegetables. Suddenly, a phone call to his home tells Andrei he is suspended from his medical practice. The police arrest Brodskaya. Shortly thereafter, in the night, Andrei hears police boots on the stairs. The officers raid Andrei's and Anna's home, breaking furniture, emptying pickle jars into the sink, and confiscating their English dictionary. They send Andrei to Lubyanka prison in Moscow, where he is tortured to get him to sign a confession. Andrei reflects on his situation: "If he dies here, he'll die alone. The last faces he will see will be the guards' faces. Outside, he would never have believed that three initials scratched into a piece of soap [from the shared lavatory] could be so precious. In here, to know that another prisoner has taken the risk of trying to communicate brings a kind of hope"(262). He forces himself not to think about his pregnant wife, instead naming the muscles of the hand, or bone after bone of the human skeleton.
Finally, he is confronted with Volkov who tells Andrei Comrade Stalin has begun a purge of doctors because doctors have been killing communist leaders: "We are uncovering an international conspiracy of Zionists working as tools of the Americans, who directed these criminal murderers and saboteurs" (277). Volkov tells Andrei the Jewish Dr. Brodskaya has 'suffered a heart attack', that is, she has been executed. Volkov accuses Andrei of betraying his trust by amputating his boy's leg, an operation that did no good, as the boy is now dying of cancer. Volkov dismisses Andrei and goes to visit his son who is comatose. Then he shoots himself in a dark Moscow street. Andrei is sent to the Gulag for ten years.Anna has moved to safety at their dacha with her brother, Kolya. There she gives birth to her daughter and names her Nadezhda. In March 1953, Stalin's death is announced. Beria, head of the NKVD, announces an amnesty of Gulag prisoners serving shorter sentences. Beria sets up an investigation into the Doctors' Plot and exonerates those doctors. In the following years, thousands of prisoners make their way back to the Soviet Union - one of them is Andrei.

In four proud stanzas, the poet reveals her self-confidence, her graceful rhythm and style, and the inner strength of her femininity. Rather than fashion-magazine beauty, she exults in things like "the stride of my step" or "the swing in my waist "or "the ride of my breasts". In the final stanza she asserts, "When you see me passing / It ought to make you proud." Each stanza closes with the refrain: "I'm a woman / Phenomenally. / Phenomenal woman, / That's me."

The two parts of this work investigate judicial punishments in imperial China as well as 18th and 19th century Western reactions to and obsession with Chinese methods of torture and with the Chinese method of public execution called death by a thousand cuts (lingchi). The authors present their interdisciplinary study as a "cross-cultural hermeneutics" (245), concluding that this use of torture and tormented death in China is not special but forms part of a global pattern of state-sponsored cruel and inhumane punishments recorded over time.

Summary:As Audrey Young describes her process of becoming a compassionate internist in a besieged public hospital, she simultaneously argues for turning the hospital's patient care and financial practices into a model for improving health care in America. Young, a compelling storyteller, first entered Seattle's Harborview Medical Center in 1996 as a third-year medical student on trauma surgery service. She completed a residency there in general internal medicine and stayed on as an attending for six more years. She stayed, she tells us, because she met physicians "committed to a vision of equality" who were "the sort of people I hoped to become" (xiii). She also "fell in love" with "the story of a unique place" (xiii). Young's stories of that often chaotic place, where ambulances regularly transport homeless, indigent, addicted, and mentally ill refugees from neighboring private hospitals, emphasizes the ways the Harborview staff manages to treat patients with dignity and to choose an ethic of hope in the face of dire circumstances.

In his preface to Amazing Change, Robert Carroll speaks directly about the power of poetry to heal. At a time of great personal loss, he says, "I began writing as a way of dealing with the inchoate, yet overwhelming, feelings I was experiencing... hopefully, to facilitate a healing process for myself." The poems collected in Amazing Change, which bears the subtitle "Poetry of Healing and Transformation: The Wisdom That Illness, Death and Dying Provide," reveal the depth and power of that healing process. They show the reader that poetic healing not only engages a person in self-discovery, but also in sharing that discovery with others. Wholeness is a community project.
While Amazing Change deals with serious subjects, many of the poems approach the subjects with humor and a light touch of irony. This is particularly true in "Dr. Bob's Psychomedical Poetics--Infomercial 1" (pp. 78-80) and "Dr. Bob's Psychomedical Poetics--Infomercial 2" (pp. 109-111). "Spiritual Soup" (p. 93) is another example of the value of humor in the good life, along with other core ingredients like marriage, prayer, hospitality, blues, hope, and pot luck.
Among the finest poems in this collection is "Kaddesh for My Father" (pp. 47-53). Written in filial homage to the poet's father, in artistic homage to Allen Ginsberg, and in spiritual homage to the Judaic tradition, "Kaddesh for My Father" seamlessly integrates personal detail and anecdote about his father with ritualized expressions of prayer and emotion. In this and many other poems, Carroll employs poetic form and/or historical exemplars to enhance the meaning of his work, but never allows them to constrain or dilute his personal vision.

Patrick Clary's Dying for Beginners is a collection of vibrant poems about living (as well as dying); about family, friends, music, loss, war and love. The book's title is evocative of the countercultural insight that dying is an essential part of living. We only become fully human by coming to grips with our own mortality. This engagement with mortality emerges from love and humor, as well as from suffering and loss. Clary's poems speak to what he has discovered about himself, as a beginner to his fellow beginners.
The poet's route to discovery traverses Death Valley, where, during a spiritual retreat and vision quest, he has this epiphany: "Suddenly, I find all my wounds are turning into blessings" (p. 1). This inversion of categories is not an exotic, one-off event, but becomes a new way of looking at the world, a perspective in which life events, carefully observed and described, blossom with deeper meanings that can only be expressed by metaphor or paradox. For example, in "Days I Don't Remember," Clary reflects, "And all my roads are turning into rivers" (p. 27). Or, in "Meditation on the Pays d'Oc," he observes, "Instead of dying, I cough up a butterfly, watch it / dry its wings in the sun..." (p. 74). Or the essential quietism of "That silence moving through our lives was me" (p. 33).
The poet had his first lessons in dying when he worked as a medic during the Vietnam War, In "Orientation at Bien Hoa," he discovers, "Yes, gentlemen / This little war here / Exists only / For one reason: / To give you all the pleasure / You can handle" (p. 10). He also learns how easy it is to kill with an M 16 rifle, which can "Put eighteen holes in / Whatever you point it at / Inside of two seconds" (p. 11). Meanwhile, the human tragedy of Vietnam takes place all around him.
Clary reflects on the limits of his calling in "Three Variations", where he observes his own hands, "professionally / Tender on demand, but still uneasy / At your easy tenderness" (p. 35). The words "professionally tender on demand" evoke his work in palliative medicine, although the same words could-and should-apply to medical practice in general. But Clary recognizes that the human capacity for compassion is not inexhaustible. There will always be a tension between the work that needs to be done ("another pair of hands in the emergency room," p. 63) and our limited reserves of kindness and empathy.
The book ends with a humorous and moving short prose narrative ("Origins of the Earwax Patrol," pp. 83-86) about caring for terminally ill patients.

This annotation is based upon the version presented at The Mint Theatre in New York City in 2010, translated and directed by Gus Kaikkonnen. It featured Thomas M. Hammond as Dr Knock and Patrick Husted as Dr Parpalaid, with Chris Mixon, Scott Barrow, and Patti Perkins in supporting roles.
A middle-aged but recently licensed physician, one Dr Knock, has arrived in rural France to take over a practice purchased from the genial old country doctor, Dr Paraplaid. Much to Dr Knock's surprise, he discovers that Dr Paraplaid has done very little over the past three decades, seeing only a few patients a week and enjoying much of the time playing pool, riding around in his jalopy, and admiring the countryside. Feeling slightly cheated, Dr Knock realizes that the practice he has purchased at some expense amounts to very little at all. He is, however, an ambitious man. He did not become a licensed physician in the eager flush of late adolescence but as a man of the world, or rather, a man of the entreprenurial modern world where opportunities are seized and technology is transformative.
Once Dr Paraplaid has gone, Dr Knock promptly sets about employing the town crier to advertise his practice so that the entire valley knows he is there. He meets up with the local school teacher and the pharmacist, enlisting them as allies. With everybody he encounters, he smilingly and then sharply insists that unlike Dr Paraplaid, he will not go by "Monsieur" but by "Doctor". And when he actually opens the office, he begins by offering free consultations. Of course, he always seems to find something wrong, elaborately explaining the aches, pains, and illnesses he discovers (or induces), but the free consultations, like free "samples" are designed to create grateful customers. Invariably, they learn that the cost of the treatment is commensurate with the exact maximum amount they could pay. And thus, Dr Knock takes a placid, lazy practice and builds up an expanding medical business.
