Violations of macro- and micronutrient support in patients with nodular thyroid pathology from regions injured after the Chornobyl accident
Background. The purpose of our study was to determine the state of macro- and micronutrient support of patients with nodular thyroid pathology from the regions injured after the Chornobyl accident. Materials and methods. 65 habitants of the Chernihiv area were examined: 40 — without thyroid pathology (15 men and 25 women) aged 36.62 ± 0.60 years, and 25 (5 men and 20 women) — with the diagnosed nodular goiter. Results. Research of urinary iodine excretion showed that a median in the control group was 95.6 µg/l, among patients with nodular goiter — 89.3 µg/l, indicating the presence of moderate iodine deficiency. Blood thyroglobulin level in patients of control group was 9.26 ± 0.99 ng/l, among patients with nodular goiter — 23.03 ± 4.70 ng/l. Thyroid-stimulating hormone level higher than 4.0 mIU/l was in 8.9 % of patients with nodular goiter and in 5.0 % of persons from the control group. The data of ultrasonic researches demonstrated that the average thyroid volume in patients of control group was 10.1 ± 0.3 cm3, among patients with nodular goiter — 18.6 ± 1.7 cm3. In the group of patients with nodular goiter, the decreased (p < 0.0001) level of macronutrients in blood plasma was detected: calcium was 67.26 ± 3.21 µg/l and magnesium — 14.88 ± 0.35 µg/l, as well as of microelements: zinc content was 0.72 ± 0.04 µg/l (p < 0.0001) and iron — 0.54 ± 0.06 µg/l (p < 0.05), in comparison with the results in the control group. Conclusions. The relative risk (χ2 criterion for the four-course table of connectivity with Fisher's correction) of nodular goiter development at subzero content of calcium was 2.24 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.58–2.61), the risk of nodular goiter development at subzero levels of magnesium — 2.56 (95% CI 1.77–3.03).

Memories of Megler
December 10, 2016 – March 11, 2017
Fourteen miles from the mouth of the Columbia River, the 4.1-mile Astoria-Megler Bridge links Astoria, Oregon, to Point Ellice at Megler in Pacific County, Washington. The area now known as Megler stretches around a historically important point of land with a rich transportation history for the Lower Columbia River. Water crossings by ferry began in 1908 at the site that is now the Dismal Nitch Rest Area and continued until the opening of the Astoria-Megler Bridge fifty years ago on July 29, 1966.
The Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum in Ilwaco will open an exhibit exploring Megler from its acquisition by the Ilwaco Railroad and Navigation Company through the steam-ship era and into the auto-ferry years. Utilizing historic photographs and first person memories, Memories of Megler captures the end of the ferry era and the beginning of contemporary auto travel on U.S. Highway 101.
"The opening of the bridge was a big deal for coastal communities at the mouth of the Columbia River," said Betsy Millard, executive director of the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum. "Easier auto access opened up both sides of the river to more travelers and made Astoria much more accessible to local residents."
Memories of Megler will be on view from July 29 – October 2, 2016.

resisting the intelligence
As this blog still gets a steady stream of views, it seems worth noting that I now post at resistingtheintelligence, primarily though not exclusively about poetry.
Emily Dickinson – "When Night is almost done –"
Close attention to the meter in Emily Dickinson's "When Night is almost done – " reveals a tension between the meaning of the words and the mood of the rhythm. First, the poem (#347):
When Night is almost done –
And Sunrise grows so near
That we can touch the Spaces –
It's time to smooth the Hair –
And get the Dimples ready –
And wonder we could care
For that old – faded Midnight –
That frightened – but an Hour –
The base meter of the poem is iambic trimeter – lines 1, 4, and 6 are all follow this meter perfectly. There are a few substitutions in the first six lines – line 2 has a spondee for its second foot (-rise grows), and lines 3 and 5 end with amphibrachs rather than iambs – but mostly she follows the meter closely in the opening lines. In the closing lines, however, Dickinson engages in quite daring metrical variation, and it's very successful.
Before I get to that, however, I'd like to make some preliminary comments on other formal aspects of the poem. There is an obvious break-point in the poem, the stanza break, and it separates logically two halves of the poem. The first stanza focuses on the end of night and the coming sunrise, while the second stanza turns attention to the ability of night to frighten. This is a logical division, but other aspects of the poem fight against it. Dickinson uses off rhyme within stanzas (near/Hair; care/Hour), but lines 4 and 6 have perfect rhyme (Hair/care). Thus, even though there is a stanza break separating them, there is a close connection between lines 4 and 6. This creates the sense that the entire portion of the poem, from lines 2 to halfway through line 7, is a single entity separate from the rest. The remainder then looks like this:
When Night is almost done –
– faded Midnight –
That frightened – but an Hour –
Here we have together all the portion of the poem dealing with the night and its effects. They create an envelope, into which the portion about the sunrise is inserted. For me, at least, this suggests something less essential about the inserted portion. The fact that the night forms an envelope in this fashion keeps our attention focused there, and makes it the aspect of the poem that most lingers. Against this, the sunrise seems of secondary importance.
This sense is, I think, amplified by the metrical variations in the final two lines. Here's a breakdown of the stress patterns (u = unstressed, – = stressed):
Line 7: u u – – u – –
Line 8: u – u u u –
I'm a bit uncertain about how to break down the feet in these lines. The base of the poem is iambic, which makes me want to read it this way:
Line 7: u u / – – / u – – [pyrrhic, spondee, cretic]
Line 8: u – / u u / u – [iamb, pyrrhic, iamb]
However, both lines contain a dash after the third syllable, and this forced pause leads to a competing inclination to read the lines as each opening with trisyllabic feet:
Line 7: u u – / – u / – – [anapest, trochee, spondee]
Line 8: u – u / u u – [amphibrach, anapest]
I am not sure which reading to choose, though I lean toward the first. In any case, the four stresses in line 7 really slow the line down, especially since they are bunched into a five-syllable span. This breaks up the relatively smooth flow of the preceding five lines, and dims the brightness of the sunrise for the transition back to night.
Then comes the last line, which is just masterful. The presence of only two stresses makes the line seem as if it should be really light. This complements the surface meaning of the words "that frightened but an hour." They make the line go quickly, as the fright went quickly. But – there are the dashes. Read the line without the dashes, and it is as I just described, light, springy, easy. The first dash, however, inserts a pause right in the middle of its quickest portion (the pyrrhic), more or less eliminating the effect of having a pyrrhic there at all. The second dash, at the end of the line, similarly makes the line heavier. Instead of the satisfaction of a full stop (as one would expect at the end of a light, quick line), the dash forces us to linger with the night and the fright it brings.
The form of Dickinson's poem thus fights with itself. On the surface, it seems to follow the literal meaning of the words, as seen in the stanza break and the meter, abstractly considered. However, the placement of the dashes and the rhyme scheme contest this obvious reading, showing a darker undercurrent to the poem. They resist the easy solution to the troubles of night that the poems appears to offer – even in the light, the night lingers.
Self-reliance, aesthetically considered
Why be self-reliant? Emerson offers an aesthetic justification in "Behavior": lack of self-possession is ugly, and painfully so.
Those who are not self-possessed, obtrude, and pain us. Some men appear to feel that they belong to a Pariah caste. They fear to offend, they bend and apologize, and walk through life with a timid step. (1046)
There is a tone to our actions, and two instances of what is nominally the same action may be unmistakably distinguished by their possessing distinct tones. The one acts with assurance, the other with apology, and though the act alone be of equal value in each, we are willing followers of the former, and detest the latter.
One would say, that the persuasion of their speech is not in what they say, – or that men do not convince by their argument, – but by their personality, by who they are, and what they said and did heretofore. (1048)
One means by which such a tone is generated is through manners, etiquette – I am convinced Emerson would have named this essay "Manners" had he not already published an essay by that name in Essays: Second Series. Self-reliance stands opposed to conformity, but nonconformity here does not mean reckless abandonment of etiquette, that powerful creator of forms. Forms are requisite for expression – they are constraints only when they are imposed upon the content.
An illustration of the point may be found in poetry. Paul Fussell, in his book requisite for all readers of poetry (Poetic Meter & Poetic Form), notes that what makes poems poetic is their density: that each element may be seen to contribute to the meaning, that none are tacked on or arbitrary. If a poem contains stanza divisions, those divisions must matter. If a poem has a meter, that meter must bubble up out of the poem's content, and prove itself worthy of it. &c.
So too actions. One can not simply add form, manners, tone to action arbitrarily. Actions require density. Or, better, persons require density.
And you cannot rightly train one to an air and manner, except by making him the kind of man of whom that manner is the natural expression. Nature forever puts a premium on reality. What is done for effect, is seen to be done for effect; what is done for love, is felt to be done for love. (1047)
No more than one can write a poem in iambic pentameter whose thought does not so move, can one cultivate a person's appearance who remains barbaric underneath. The barbarism will show through.
One of the aesthetic markers of self-reliance – I note in passing a confidence between Emerson and Nietzsche on this point – is a mistrust of too much giving grounds. One need only watch a contemporary discussion between disputants each of whom is concerned to display his rationality, his cautiousness, his consideration of all sides, his charity to opponents to be disgusted by the ugliness of a too great love of the appearance of rationality.
Emerson noted this opposition in grand style in his essay on "Self-Reliance":
I would write on the lintels of the door-post, Whim. I hope it is somewhat better than whim at last, but we cannot spend the day in explanation. (262)
It is important, however, so he reiterates here, with an interesting variation:
Self-reliance is the basis of behavior, as it is the guaranty that the powers are not squandered in too much demonstration. In this country, where school education is universal, we have a superficial culture, and a profusion of reading and writing and expression. We parade our nobilities in poems and orations, instead of working them up into happiness. (1048)
In this expression of the point, Emerson ties it to the thought that poetry might profitably disappear – not his first time having entertained such a thought. He mistrusts that poetry (and other writing) that becomes a show of nobility, often at the expense of the enacting of that nobility. Were this form of poetry to disappear, what is poetic in it would nonetheless remain: "when a man does not write his poetry, it escapes by other vents through him […] clings to his form and manners…" (1048)
This disappearance of poetry is, moreover, annexed to a consideration of happiness: there is something sickly, unhappy, about a person who sacrifices happiness to poetizing. As a person possessive of at least pretensions to such poetizing, this thought is interesting to and useful for me. Ought I not to write, in favor of other forms of expression? I do not think so, and do not believe that I am merely gratifying myself in so thinking. What this suggests to me instead is that Emerson places a priority first on happiness (by which I do not believe he means that sloppy self-content that today sometimes carries the name). Once this is secured, it may overflow into poetry.
The requirement is that poetry be a product of joy, of healthful morning hours. If such joy be its fount, it will adopt poetic bearing of its own accord, and wear it regally. If not, all the cultivation of form imposed upon it will not protect forever the impostor.
Aus hohen Bergen
As Adrian del Caro, at the end of his translation of Beyond Good and Evil (Stanford University Press), chose to preserve the rhyme scheme of the ending "Nachgesang" at the expense of Nietzsche's meaning,** I thought I would try my hand at a literal, deliberately artless translation. (Adrian del Caro did not attempt to preserve Nietzsche's meter, rendering his translation accidentally artless.)
**I give an example after I give my own translation.

From high Mountains.
Oh life's midday! Festive time!
…..Oh summer garden!
Restless happiness in standing and peering and waiting: –
The friends I await, poised day and night,
Where do you stay friends? Come! It's time! It's time!
Was it not for you that the glacier's grey
…..Today adorns itself with roses?
You the brook seeks, longingly rushes,
The wind and clouds thrust higher today into blue
To peer at you from more distant bird's view.
In the highest place, for you was my table covered: –
…..Who dwells so near the stars
Who near the abyss' greyest distance?
My realm – what realm has stretched itself wider?
And my honey – who has tasted it? . . . . .
– There you are, friends! – Woe, then I am not
…..The one you wanted?
You hesitate, marvel – ach, better if you resented!
I – am no longer? Swapped hand, step, face?
And what I am, you friends – I am not?
I became another? And foreign to myself?
…..Sprung from myself?
A wrestler who too often vanquished himself?
Too often braced himself against his own force,
Through his own victory wounded and obstructed?
I searched where the wind blows most sharply?
…..I learned to dwell
Where no one dwells, in barren polar bear zones,
Unlearned man and God, curse and prayer?
Became a ghost, that over glaciers goes?
– You old friends! Look! Now you look pale,
…..Full of love and horror!
No, leave! Rage not! Here – you could not reside:
Here between remotest realms of ice and rock –
Here one must be hunter and chamois-like.
A wickeder hunter I became! – Look, how steeply
…..My bow tenses!
It was the strongest who drew such a draw – – [der solchen Zug gezogen]
But woe now! Dangerous is this arrow,
Like no arrow, – away from here! For your health! . . . . .
You turn? – Oh heart, you carried enough,
…..Stark remained your hope:
For new friends hold your doors open!
The old ones leave! Leave the memory!
Once were you young, now – be better young!
What ever knotted us, a band of hope, –
…..Who reads the signs,
That love once inscribed, yet pallid?
To parchment I compare it, that the hand
Dreads to grasp, – like it browned, burned.
No longer friends, they are – yet how can I call them?
…..Only friend–ghosts!
That knock at night on my heart and window,
That inspect me and say: "yet we were?" –
– Oh wilted word, that once like roses smelled!
Oh youth's yearning that misunderstood itself!
…..For which I yearned,
That I imagined related, converted to myself,
That they became old has removed their charm:
Only who changes himself remains related to me.
Oh life's midday! Second youth!
…..Oh summer garden!
Restless happiness in standing and peering and waiting: –
The friends I await, poised day and night,
The new friends! Come! It's time! It's time!
* * *
This song is over, – wistfulness' sweeter cry
…..Died in the mouth:
A magician did it, a friend at the right time,
The midday-friend – no! Ask not who it was –
It was around midday that one became two . . . . .
Now we celebrate, confident victory unites,
…..The feast of feasts:
Friend Zarathustra came, the guest of guests!
Now laughs the world, the horrid curtain tears,
The wedding came for light and eclipse . . . . .

Comment: an example of del Caro sacrificing Nietzsche's meaning to the rhyme scheme.
In the fourth stanza, the poet begins to worry that he is no longer himself, and this theme dominates the fifth stanza. In the final four lines of that stanza, Nietzsche suggests a causal mechanism by which this change of identity occurred:
Ein Andrer ward ich? Und mir selber fremd?
…..Mir selbst entsprungen?
Ein Ringer, der zu oft sich selbst bezwungen?
Zu oft sich gegen eigne Kraft gestemmt,
Durch eignen Sieg verwundet und gehemmt
Del Caro translates these lines as follows:
I have become someone else? Strange to me?
…..From me unseated?
A wrestler by himself pinned and defeated?
Who strained against himself too forcefully?
Wounded and blocked by his own victory?
The first line is fine, though awkward, as is the last. The three lines in the middle, however, are all problematic. I'll go through each in turn.
In the second line, Nietzsche uses the verb 'entsprungen', literally 'sprung from'. This suggests not only that the narrator has become someone else, but further that he was himself the agent of this change. Del Caro changes this to 'unseated', which carries no such connotation – if anything, it suggests that it was some external force that caused the change. At best, del Caro loses an important implication, such that the line contains no information not contained in the previous line, and thus becomes redundant, distending the poem. At worst, del Caro has inserted a meaning into the poem that is opposite to what Nietzsche intended.
The next line confirms this implication of Nietzsche's verb choice. Here del Caro's choice of 'defeated' is fine, though he needlessly adds in an additional verb ('pinned') with no source in Nietzsche. More problematically, del Caro changes the tense of the sentence, from active – "a wrestler who too often vanquished himself" – to passive: "by himself pinned and defeated." Where Nietzsche (again) highlights the agency involved in the narrator's transformation, del Caro again makes it sound like something that just happens to the narrator from "outside." Del Caro sneaks the agency back in with the "by himself," but the force of this is attenuated. Finally, the extra verb is not only absent from Nietzche's poem, it also means del Caro has no space to include Nietzsche's "zu oft" ("too often"). What Nietzsche very clearly indicates is something that occurs multiple times, del Caro gives the impression was a single event.
The following line afforded del Caro a chance to rectify this mistake, as it contains another "Zu oft," but del Caro did not avail himself of the opportunity. Instead, he switched the "too" over to a later adverb: "strained […] too forcefully." But in fact this adverb never appears in the German. What Nietzsche actually says is that the wrestler "braced himself against his own force." This identifies the wrestler's "own force" ("eigne Kraft") as the object of struggle. In del Caro's translation, however, the object of the struggle is just "himself." In Nietzsche's original, the line adds new information: in vanquishing himself, he had to set himself against his own force. But in del Caro's translation, there is once more, at best, no new information. We simply hear, again, that he's struggling with himself. At worst, there is new information, but not that which Nietzsche wanted to convey: del Caro's translation suggests that the cause of the change was the application of too much force, when really it is the result of the struggle occurring too often.
What is gained by these changes? The idea, I suppose, is that something of Nietzsche's artistry is preserved. There is, in translation, always a trade-off between style and sense, and I can understand sacrificing some nuances of sense to style, though my own taste (if not talent) in translation leans Nabokovian. However, I don't believe that is actually going on here. Preserving the rhyme scheme does not at all preserve Nietzsche's artistry.
Consider: a different poet who writes a different poem in the same rhyme scheme does not in any sense share Nietzsche's artistry. Whatever the meaning to be expressed, any talentless pseudo-poet can find a way to make it answer to a rhyme scheme. It is not the answering to a rhyme scheme that makes the poem, but the specific rhymes chosen. And the exact rhymes Nietzsche chose by definition cannot be translated, since they involve German words. All of the rhymes in del Caro's translation belong to del Caro alone, even if they are constrained, very loosely indeed, by Nietzsche's original.
Moreover, if one is to preserve something of the formal scheme to which Nietzsche's poem answers, surely it should be to the meter. After all, as del Caro notes in his translator's afterword, so much of Nietzsche's writing is its tempo. The meter is a major instrument of tempo in a poem, yet del Caro makes no attempt to preserve Nietzsche's meter. (I do not have a good enough feel for the sound of German to confidently spell out this meter, but it is obvious that it has a metric base. For instance, lines two and three of each stanza generally consist of an iamb followed by an amphibrach.) Instead, del Caro's translation is all over the map. Just looking at the stanza thus far considered, his translation of the first line is top-heavy, while his translation of the third line is oddly lilting in a way that does not fit with the meaning.
So what, then, is gained? There is a trade-off made, but it is not between Nietzsche's sense and his style. Instead, it is between Nietzsche's sense and del Caro's style. I get a sense of del Caro's quality as a poet (you may infer what I think), but at a cost. There is, moreover, a second trade-off: between Nietzsche's style and del Caro's style. For there are aspects of Nietzsche's poetic sensibility that do translate, e.g. his use of repetitions and his non-redundancy. By preserving the rhyme scheme, del Caro is forced to eliminate repetitions and neuter lines to the point of redundancy.
When I was first reading Nietzsche, before I knew any German, I believed that Nietzsche simply was not a very good poet. That belief, I am now convinced, was entirely an artifact of my having read English translations that choose to preserve the dubious façade of rhyme over the poetry involved. This is not to say that I now believe Nietzsche was a good poet – my German is not competent for that. (Aside: I hope any readers of this post will keep in mind what the translation I offered above is, namely, an exercise that may help me to one day be a competent reader of German.) But it is to say that I wish translators would make less egotistical decisions when translating Nietzsche's poetry.
Or, if they were so inclined, more egotistical decisions – i.e. the decision to write a poem that preserves all of Nietzsche's artistic trappings, at the expense of any attempt at line-by-line correspondence (theme and "plot" are enough) – so long as they admitted that what was provided was not so much a translation as a hybrid offspring. That would be interesting, though of course such an attempt is only appropriate for a genuine poet.
Power, not expression
It is very rare for an essay by Emerson to insist on a single point without a countermovement. Let whatever have its say, some opponent also demands a voice, and Emerson grants it. Yet in his essay on "Power", Emerson defers this movement to later chapters of The Conduct of Life.
I have not forgotten that there are sublime considerations which limit the value of talent and superficial success. We can easily overpraise the vulgar hero. There are sources on which we have not drawn. I know what I abstain from. I adjourn what I have to say on this topic to the chapters on Culture and Worship. (985)
It is telling that Emerson imposes this delay on himself. He has just been defending the fundamental role of power in human life. Life itself he defines as the search for power, and immediately connects this to a favorite theme: selectivity. Genius is selective, Emerson teaches again and again. This may be applied to life as the search for power, for such life takes events as the ore in which power is found, that is, as something to be sifted. "He can well afford to let events and possessions, and the breath of the body go, if their value has been added to him in the shape of power." (971)
Emerson's picture of power is not a humanized one. He is not playing games with the word, making it mean something softer, lighter, than in a generic context it conveys. No, power is power, the ability to control and dominate, to subject some material – be it inert or animate, animal or human – to one's will. Given the choice between power and ethics, Emerson will take power – "if it be only a question between the most civil and the most forcible, I lean to the last" (977) – and he considers seriously the worry that "conscience [is] not good for hands and legs." (978)
Nor does Emerson see such a reliance on power as harmful. If "this power, to be sure, is not clothed in satin," nonetheless "it brings its own antidote." (976) The solution to the problems power raises is more power, of a different sort – counterbalancing power. Politics, with its brute clash of forces, becomes a model of self-reliance writ large: it is not goodness, conformity to civil standards, that makes for sustainable politics. It is that each comes "with a mind made up to desperate extremities." (975) This paragraph, by the by, is a strong plank in the case for seeing Emersonian self-reliance as it must be seen: as a form of egotism.
Power is fundamental. It is because power is fundamental that Emerson defers the coming movement. To be sure, Emerson hints at it in the essay. "Physical force has no value, where there is nothing else." (980) But Emerson cannot disparage physical force, for without it, nothing else has value. Emerson is clear where value lies:
Everything good in nature and the world is in that moment of transition, when the swarthy juices still flow plentifully from nature, but their astringency or acridity is got out by ethics and humanity. (980)
The value of power lies in its ability to be directed, when it is not an end in itself, but put toward some aim. The power, however, comes first. The aim without the power is "idle seeing," and accounts for nothing. (982) Ethics and humanity without power leaves only tamed and neutered animals – that is why Emerson chooses the forcible over the civil. Emerson favors the moment of transition precisely because power is preserved in it. When the transition is complete, all that remains is undiluted ethics – conformity. Then brute power is again required.
Emerson draws from these views on power a consequence for the artist. As someone who has recently begun writing poetry (again, if my horrid teen years are to be counted), I found the following passage of especial significance:
The triumphs of peace have been in some proximity to war. Whilst the hand was still familiar with the sword-hilt, whilst the habits of the camp were still visible in the port and complexion of the gentleman, his intellectual power culminated: the compression and tension of these stern conditions is a training for the finest and softest arts, and can rarely be compensated in tranquil times, except by some analogous vigor drawn from occupations as hardy as war. (980)
Aside from my pet interest in the connection between Emerson and Nietzsche – who, familiar with Nietzsche, can fail to see how the German on so many occasions rewrote this very passage? – the passage is interesting for treating fine arts and intellectual endeavors as only one step removed from war, and as degenerate when further removed. Just as in politics and business, the material side of life, where self-interest and the crudest egotism rules, so also in poetry and painting, power is fundamental.
That origination of art in power has an interesting consequence:
The friction in nature is so enormous that we cannot spare any power. It is not question to express our thought, to elect our way, but to overcome resistances of the medium and material in everything we do. (984)
Art is not about expression. How many turn to poetry or other arts to express themselves, or to express a message about society, or… – in any case, to express something! And how much terrible, unreadable poetry results! What results from such endeavors is a chaos of words held together only by their meaning, a distended organization of unrecognizable shape.
This because art – as all else – is about power, is about overcoming the "resistances of the medium and material." It is not about expression, not even about beauty. It is, in the case of poetry, about dominating words, forcing them into position, making them do the work the poet commands. (Vladimir Nabokov once said, "My characters are galley slaves." He knew.*) There is resistance imposed by meter, by the sounds of words, by the conventions of form – all of which require power to be overcome. It is in that overcoming that the successes of poetry lie.
[*Nabokov also, to my great surprise, appears to have found Emerson's poetry "delightful." I can't say I'm displeased.]
This is not to say that expression and beauty have no role. It is just: their role is secondary. They are sources of constraints. Not only must meter be obeyed (and in meter-lacking verse other constraints take over this role), but meaning must be conveyed. Thus the resistance of the medium increases. Not only must meter be obeyed and meaning be conveyed, but the result must be beautiful. The resistance of the medium becomes nearly impervious to the poet's effort.
I have permitted myself to write the above not just because it is, I believe, true to Emerson, but because it corresponds with my own experience. I can certainly not claim a single pure success in what I have written so far, except perhaps in an isolated line here or there, but the joy I have found in writing has not come from expression, but from the thrill that comes at each moment that the material yields even a little, at each correct placement of a single word. No such joy attends the successful expression of an idea – every half-baked line of mine expresses something – and I would banish meaning from my poetry if I would not thereby lose a rich source of friction, and hence a rich source, eventually, of joy.
This realization I came to before I read Emerson's essay and its striking claims. As I wrote in my journal, earlier in the day: "Poetry: a struggle for power over words, words that fight back."

Fox Baits
Foxes are notoriously crafty and clever. Trapping can be an effective method of fox control, but you must go about it properly to achieve the desired result. Below, Havahart® provides baiting suggestions as well as other fox baiting tips.
- Facts
- How to Get Rid Of
- How to Trap
- How to Repel
- Baits
Best Fox Baits
Foxes may have a reputation for being opportunistic feeders that will eat anything, but luring one into an unfamiliar cage will take extra incentive. Foxes favor strong-smelling or super sweet foods like fish (fresh or canned), chicken, meat, and sugar-coated vegetables.
How to Bait a Fox Trap
Foxes are extremely wary and cautious animals, so luring them into your trap will take time and strategy. Baiting a fox trap is usually a process that takes several days:
TIP: When baiting your trap for a catch (Night 3) it's critical that the bait is positioned carefully behind the trigger plate to ensure that the fox engages the trigger.
Expert Baiting Tips
Foxes are most active during twilight. Bait your trap just before dusk to minimize the risk of trapping an unwanted critter.
Tie your trap open during night 1 and night 2 of baiting. This will prevent any false triggers from prematurely snapping the door closed, which can cause a fox to avoid it.
Some foxes need more time to get used to a feeding area. If a fox does not take the bait on night 2 or 3, begin again at night 1 and repeat this step a few times before moving onto the next.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson
My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars
From the start The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo hooks the reader, making him not only interested in the main characters but also wanting to learn what is going to happen throughout the book. Stieg Larsson gives fascinating descriptions of Mikael Blomkvist and Lisbeth Salander, making them both not only real but also unique, then sets the two on seemingly different courses until they finally meet up in the middle of the book. The decision to have Mikael and Lisbeth's respective stories grow significantly before intertwining with one another was genius so as to make the character's interactions with one another more real during the last half of the book. The second best decision was that mystery of Harriet Vanger turned out not to be the central emphasis of the book, but a genius way of getting Mikael and Lisbeth together and seeing their independent perspectives of the outcome while also setting up their trust with one another the leads to the books intriguing finish.
I have heard the critiques that this book is sexist and anti-female, so I am going to address that in this review. The experiences of Lisbeth in the first half of the book and what Mikael and she uncover in their Vanger investigation do seem to be really anti-female. However, it should be noted that Lisbeth gets revenge for her situation and that both Mikael and she are repulsed with what they find out during the Vanger investigation. Larsson throughout the book includes statistics on the sexual mistreatment of women in Sweden at the beginning of each part in his book. So yes, Larsson does have some blatant mistreatment of women in this book, however he also shows that not every individual in this book likes it and they want to do something about it if possible. Parts of the world we live in are pitch black and most people doesn't want look at it, Larsson however shows that some times these things have to be looked at however uncomfortable.
Although, I understand Larsson inclusion of the mistreatment of women that doesn't mean I didn't like it. The rape scenes were not a highlight in the book for me and I got through them as best I could. However, the book as a whole had everything a really good story needed and was a fantastic read.

Death Toll Expected To Rise as Massive Inferno Engulfs Famed London Apartment Building
- Details
- Category: World News - Europe
- Published on Wednesday, 14 June 2017 01:21
- Written by Janet Walker
Parents were seen tossing children to safety as more than 1000 residents were trapped when a six-alarm fire broke out at Grenfell Tower in North Kensington, London, a 24-story apartment building, just after midnight Wednesday morning.
"I can confirm there have been a number of fatalities and others receiving medical care. We will soon be making contact with next of kin. The force said it was likely to take some time before we are in a position to confirm the cause of the fire," Commander Stuart Cundy of the Metropolitan Police said, as reported in Wales Online.
Official reports as dawn breaks in London, more than 200 fire fighters and forty engines responded to the fast moving blaze that reportedly began when a refrigerator exploded. Although all have said it is too early to determine the origin or cause of the blaze.
The fastmoving fire had within minutes consumed an entire side of the block building.
Videos posted on social media show the raging inferno, with flames shooting high into the night sky, and an orange red glow of heat can be seen inside the windows.
Most of the 120 apartments in Grenfell Tower would have been occupied as the nighttime blaze caught most sleeping or retired for the evening. Desperate for rescue, residents on the upper floors, were seen flickering their lights in a hopeless effort to draw the attention of fire rescue units.
London Ambulance services indicated more than 50 persons were transported to local hospitals. The fire as dawn broke was still smoldering with pockets of fire still burning.
Residents took to Twitter posting pictures and partial stories of escape. A man and his 68-year-old Aunt made it down to safety form the 17th floor. He said the smoke was very heavy when they decided to leave. He also spoke of not hearing a general building fire alarm only apartment smoke detector alarms. He said "I lost everything."
The horror of the fire has yet to unfold as morning breaks, many of the residents are still missing and loss of life is expected to be significant. Media services are posting pictures on the inferno that try to show the human scale as residents were at their windows within reach of high rise ladders and unable to escape. Perhaps the most devastating concern is that all who escape the inferno have said "they didn't hear the bells."

A slightly longer holiday would cover the Golden Triangle Tour, which is, Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. Of course, it is out of the question to think of covering every single place in each city. Therefore, tourists are treated to the main attractions in each place. Delhi would include the Qutub Minar, India Gate and Lotus Temple. In Agra, one would visit the Agra Fort and the Taj Mahal. Jaipur's Amber Fort, City Palace and Hawa Mahal definitely merit a visit.
Thus, the reasonably priced attractions should serve to satisfy every kind of 'tourist' palate!

Q I would love to be able to take my dog for a walk, but he pulls on the leash so bad he chokes himself! How do I stop this?
A Teaching loose leash walking is especially challenging when your dog is already a committed puller. Sometimes the best way to start is to make a change in equipment. Today there are a number of dog harnesses on the market that are specifically designed as no-pulling, or anti-pulling, harnesses.
Traditional harnesses did a good job of taking pressure off of the dog's throat and distributing pressure across the whole chest but did nothing to discourage pulling. In fact, they make pulling much more comfortable. Over the last decade, there have been many advances in no-pull harnesses.
The Whole Dog Journal™ reviewed various no-pull harnesses in the October 2012 issue, listing their top picks. One pick for being simple and economical is the SENSE-ible harness, which is one that we recommend to our K9 Manners & More clients.
A no-pulling harness can help you control the front end of the dog without causing him pain or discomfort. Using a no-pull harness is definitely a management tool, and if you are using it as such without teaching the dog (with positive reinforcement), to walk calmly with you, he will eventually learn to pull against the harness as well.
Collars such as choke chains and prong collars might help stop the dog from pulling, but there are reasons why we do not recommend them. They are not easy to use without causing damage to a dog's throat, trachea, tonsils, and perhaps, thyroid. In some cases, they actually increase a dog's reactivity or aggression while on leash. Here are some of our tips for teaching loose leash walking:
If he is pulling, we are not moving! Just stand still for a second, and then do something to get your dog's attention. Move forward once he has reoriented toward you.
Lure/Reward! Have treats in your hand and lure him along where you want him to be. Every few steps he gets a treat. After you've done that a few times, he will know that's where the good stuff is, and you can reinforce him for staying close.
If he pulls out ahead of you, stop. Then lure him so he is facing you; then lure him toward you (still facing you); then lure him around to your side. Feed the treat at your side.
Be interesting and a little unpredictable on a walk! Walk in a circle, do some about face turns, stop and sit, etc.
Take time to smell the roses! Or maybe smell the mailboxes? Stop frequently and let your dog enjoy a sniffing opportunity! Walks should be fun and interesting for both you and your dog.
Q Why does my dog seem friendly one minute, wanting to make friends with another dog, and the next minute wants to fight?
A Goodness, I wish I had a perfect answer for this question! The truth of the matter is that we just don't know. It often seems that the snarky behavior came out of the blue. Some dogs are snarky at times with dogsthey know really well and usually get along with. Others are reactive only to dogs they don't know.
Here are some points to ponder:
On leash/off leash: Many dogs are just fine with other dogs while off leash, and are reactive only when on leash. Reasons could include prior experience of being attacked while on the leash, making flight not an option.
Or perhaps some were collar corrected for sniffing other dogs, so they now associate the presence of another dog with a correction coming. Another reason I see for dogs to react while on leash is that they have been subjected to improper greeting by dogs, and their owners have "made" them tolerate it. So they want to warn off a potential improper greeter!
Resource guarding of their important human: I do think some dogs are just not comfortable with a dog coming too close to their beloved. Or maybe just too close to their stash of treats!
Prior bad experience: Some dogs react only to a certain breed, type or look of dog. It could be because of history of a bad experience.
Reaction of the other dog: There is a split second where dogs decide how the encounter is going to go; play, fight or retreat. They really are great at conflict resolution, and the vast majority of encounters do not result in fights. Frustration: Dogs that play with other dogs a lot may be frustrated on leash because they are not going to play.
Cues and signals from the owner: We can trigger a reaction in so many ways—tugging or jerking back on the leash, speaking sharply, tensing up or holding our breath. Our dogs are so attuned to us that they might sense danger because our hearts are beating faster, and we are breathing rapidly. And, since we are afraid our dog might act aggressively, we do all of these things!

This is a tribute page to the photos that made me laugh. The photos I secretly looked at during work (with an excel spreadsheet open to cover them when the boss walked past). The photos that kept me sane whilst working more than four years away from my family.
I saved so many over those years, my hard drive started to groan - so it's time to give it some relief. Please find below a selection of some of the best (and saucy) examples.....
www.engrish.com is a site that shows photos of public signs, mainly in Japan. Isn't it great that we can laugh at their poor attempts at English, whilst our fluent Japanese continues to excel.
For those not as 'street' as I am, the art of photobombing involves getting yourself into someone else's photo....anyway you can......or when something is going on in the background you are unaware of....for example, shagging giraffe's (you'll see)
Photoshop Disasters
Again, the title says it all, but in case you're not sure, this is a collection of images (mainly from magazine covers) where you look at it and think 'what were they thinking?'
Some of these disasters are actually quite subtle, so you may have to look twice....

But surpised and pleased that BBC Scotland contacted me and aksed for full resolution versions of some images I have sent them in the past for the 'Your Pictures of Scotland' web pages. They want to display large lightbox images in the BBC reception area and would like to consider using one or more of my images. Really hope they do.
09/05/13 World's Best Site 'Get's Better' Shock

The integrity of our products means that we can always offer the highest quality and respond to the needs of both our customers and consumers. The trust they have in our products comes from our continuous investment in safety and quality.
- 10,550 customers
- 3 Top 3 supplier by our customers
Focus on quality
All drinks produced by Coca‑Cola HBC Slovenia must comply with local laws. All our products also meet global quality standards: quality management system ISO 9001 and the systems of food safety management ISO 22000, PAS 220 and FSSC 22000.
From the selection of ingredients through to production and delivering products on the market, we follow our internal TCCC PEEL requirements – these are the global requirements set by The Coca‑Cola Company for quality, product safety, environmental protection and safety at work.
We carry out a range of activities, from preventive measures to monitoring, as well as internal and external control.
Although we don't have a production plant in Slovenia and we import our products from neighbour countries, very strict quality control takes place at every stage of the production process in every production plant. Production begins with syrup made from concentrate or beverage base, and ends with the final products being packed in plastic, glass, cardboard boxes and cans. Ingredients and packaging materials are sourced from authorised vendors. The ingredients we use, as well as the finished products, are tested in our laboratories for quality control. In addition to the controls carried out by internal and external laboratories, Coca‑Cola occasionally performs random testing with the market in its Brussels laboratories.
Our high-quality products are a big factor in the positive feedback we receive from our customers and consumers, not only through a free info-line, but also through direct contact in the field.
Transparency on product information
Transparency is important to us. To respond to the growing expectations of our stakeholders, we approach the subject with due diligence – we strive to provide accurate, clear and easily accessible information on all our products, setting out their composition and nutritional value.
In line with our own quality and food safety policy, we specify the origin of our product ingredients (raw material); our products' composition, including substances (raw materials) that may have an impact on the environment or people; the safe use and storage of the product, as well as the impact of disposal on the environment or people.
We also educate customers about the proper use of our products through brochures and special training. Information is also available on the website and the most important information can be seen on the product label.
In addition to complying with all local legal requirements relating to the declaration of product information, we provide guidance on daily calorie intake, or GDA (Guideline Daily Amounts) which refers to the approximate amount of calories, fat, saturated fat, total sugar, salt or sodium needed for a balanced diet for healthy adults and children.
Bringing added value
Our customers are our most important partners and are at the heart of everything we do.
Through our business strategy we are committed to winning with our customers. For example, we're trying to create a unified value added tax, based on profitability and growth, both for our company and for our customers.
Coca Cola HBC Slovenia has more than 10,500 customers – shops, restaurants, supermarkets, discount chains and other establishments that sell our products. In 2015, our customers rated us as their top supplier, which reaffirms that we're working together successfully, building strong, long-term partnerships. The success we have achieved is based primarily on constantly identifying customer needs and monitoring customer satisfaction.

When Mary Robinson was working on behalf of her foundation to protect the economic and social rights of Africans in 2005, she said she started noticing a troubling sentiment emerge in the discussions she had with people across the continent.
"I began to hear a different voice, a different sentence," Robinson said March 9 during a visit to Mount Holyoke. "A sentence that began, 'Ah, but things are so much worse… We don't have any seasons anymore. We have long periods of drought, and then flash flooding…' I heard that constantly since then."
And when she traveled to Somalia in the summer of 2011, a time when the country was being ravaged by a famine that claimed the lives of 28,000 children in less than two months, Robinson said she began to see that climate change was the source of the human misery she was witnessing.
"One of the things that had never occurred to me 19 years earlier in 1992 was absolutely in the front of my mind in July 2011," she said. "That the Horn of Africa had had the eight hottest years ever recorded in succession. Therefore, the drought was getting worse, the impacts were much more tangible, and that this is what we mean by global warming. This is what's it's about.
"More and more, I realized that we weren't talking about climate change as we should be."
Robinson's lecture was sponsored by the Odyssey Bookshop, the Office of the President, the McCulloch Center for Global Initiatives, the Miller Worley Center for the Environment, the Weissman Center for Leadership and the Liberal Arts, and the Five College Women's Studies Research Center.

Public Transport Details for Mumbai
Mumbai's public transport primarily comprises:
NMMT-Navi Mumbai Municipal Transport operates its Volvo buses from Navi Mumbai to Bandra,Borivali and Dindoshi.
Suburban electric trains: local railway lines
Western Railway, running between Churchgate and Virar. There are plans to extend this service up to Dahanu in near future.
Central Railway, running between Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (Formerly known as Victoria Terminus [V.T.]) and Karjat/Khopoli and Kasara.
Harbour Line, running between Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (Formerly known as Victoria Terminus [V.T.]) and Panvel / Andheri. A new line has extended the Harbour Line from Panvel to Karjat.
Harbour Line, running between Vashi and Thane (via Turbhe)
Public bus service (BEST)This system is run by a government organization Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport, the "B" formerly standing for "Bombay". It has a fleet of red single and double-decker buses. There are air conditioned and low floor buses as well.
The birth of the BEST dates back to 1873, with the setting-up of the Bombay Tramway Company Limited, which was given the licence to operate trams in the city. The Bombay Municipal Corporation (BMC) was given the right to purchase the company after twenty-five years, or after seven years thereafter. In 1874, the Bombay Tramways Act was enacted after the contract was formally signed between the Municipality and the Company to start such a transport system.
On 9 May 1874, the first horse-drawn carriage made its début in the city, plying on the Mumbai's public transport primarily comprises:
Colaba–Pydhone via Crawford Market, and Bori Bunder to Pydhonie via Kalbadevi routes. The initial fare was three annas (15 paise), and no tickets were issued. As the service became increasingly popular, the fare was reduced to two annas (10 paise). Later that year, tickets were issued for the first time, to curb the increasing ticketless travel.
From 1926 the BEST started operating motor buses.
In 1947, a week prior to India gaining independence, the BEST became an Undertaking of the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai. It now operates as an autonomous body.
The bus transport service covers the entire city and also extends its operations outside city limits into neighbouring Navi Mumbai, Thane and Mira-Bhayandar. In addition to buses, it also operates a ferry service in the northern reaches of the city. The electricity division of the organisation is also one of the few electricity departments in India to garner an annual net profit.
As of 2011, the BEST runs a total of 4,680 buses,ferrying 4.8 million passengers over 365 routes, and has a workforce strength of 38,000, which includes 22,000 bus drivers and conductors (this comes to an average of 11.2 employees per bus). Single decker buses make up the bulk of the fleet, followed by the double-decker buses and air-conditioned buses, which ply on select routes.
Types of RoutesOrdinary:Ordinary routes are the most common, with buses on these routes stopping at all stops. Buses plying on these routes are identified by a white route number on a black background.
Limited Buses: on these routes stop only at important places and skip all the minor stops in between on high volume routes. They used to have a marginally higher fare and are identified by the route number in red on a white background. In 2008, the fares of Limited and ordinary buses were brought at the same level. The route number ends with LTD.
Special: These buses ply on select routes covering railway terminuses and the central business districts. These routes have a fare marginally higher than the 'Limited' routes and are identified by the route number in white on a red background.
Express/Corridor: These buses service long distance intra-city routes, and have fares that are the same as the Special routes, but with lesser number of stops. They have route numbers indicated in red on a yellow background. These buses do not skip the flyovers, like other buses.
Air-conditioned: These buses fares a little over four times the fare of an 'Ordinary' route covering the same distance. These buses have route numbers starting with A.
Ac/Super: These buses ply on the new BRTS routes.
