  • For My Short Witty Poems and for My Humorous Poems
    Dear (I hope) Reader, A note from the poet: I'm probably best known (or unknown) for my short witty poems and for my humorous poems. None of the following poems are short, and most are not particularly witty or humorous, nor are they particularly rich in lyricism, image or "telling details" -- in fact, they are rather abstract, and have on occasion been praised or dismissed as "not poetry, but philosophical essays or sermons"; they are difficult, chunky with unpoeticized thought processes, perhaps arrogant and pontifical and preachy. Perhaps most are unpublishable (except here) -- though a few of them have been published. But they are the poems (of my own, that is) that please me most and seem to me, for all their faults, to do best what I want to do as a poet, something I have always felt needed doing and that few others seemed to be doing. These are the poems for which I'd most like to be remembered and the poems I feel others might find most valuable, though requiring a bit more work than my other poems. I won't try to explain what it is I want these poems to do, but hope that you'll read some of them and come to your own conclusions. Let me know what you think. Best, Dean Blehert [email protected] Lest We Forget Ronald Reagan is alive but forgetting things. An elephant never forgets, but this is personal, not political. We must make that distinction or all our politicians would be institutionalized for forgetting their promises.

  • Victorian Poetry.Pdf
    This Companion to Victorian Poetry provides an up-to-date introduction to many of the pressing issues that absorbed the attention of poets from the 1830s to the 1890s. It introduces readers to a range of topics - including historicism, patriotism, prosody, and religious belief. The thirteen specially- commissioned chapters offer fresh insights into the works of well-known figures such as Matthew Arnold, Robert Browning, and Alfred Tennyson and the writings of women poets - like Michael Field, Amy Levy, and Augusta Webster - whose contribution to Victorian culture has only recently been acknowledged by modern scholars. Revealing the breadth of the Victorians' experiments with poetic form, this Companion also discloses the extent to which their writings addressed the prominent intellectual and social questions of the day. The volume, which will be of interest to scholars and students alike, features a detailed chronology of the Victorian period and a compre- hensive guide to further reading.

  • Water Softening
    2/2/2021 Water Softening HOME | WATER SOFTENING Water Softening Hard water causes gray or white deposits when water is heated. Water softening can be used to reduce these symptoms. ARTICLES | UPDATED: JULY 12, 2011 For example, "hard water is what causes the white scale buildup on my pots," or "soft water doesn't leave a detergent film on my freshwashed clothes or fixtures." Some might even contend that soft water makes their skin smoother and hair more silky and manageable. While these observations may be true, they may not be substantial reasons to purchase a water softening device. It is also important to note that water softeners will not necessarily remove any of the more serious drinking water contamination problems. An understanding of the chemistry of hard and soft water and the treatment process used to produce softer water can help you answer the question, "Do I need to soften my water?" Hard Water/Soft Water Whether a water supply is labelled "soft" or "hard" is dependent on the presence of two highly soluble minerals, calcium and magnesium. From a health standpoint, these minerals have no adverse effects and are, in fact, essential daily nutrients. It is minerals that give water the refreshing flavor many people find desirable. However, when calcium and magnesium permeate water, they buildup on contact surfaces, https://extension.psu.edu/water-softening 1/8 2/2/2021 Water Softening possibly plug pipes and damage water heaters, and decrease the effectiveness of soaps and detergents.

  • How Japanese Comic Books Influence Taiwanese Students A
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Reading Comic Books Critically: How Japanese Comic Books Influence Taiwanese Students A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Education by Fang-Tzu Hsu 2015 © Copyright by Fang-Tzu Hsu 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Reading Comic Books Critically: How Japanese Comic Books Influence Taiwanese Students by Fang-Tzu Hsu Doctor of Philosophy in Education University of California, Los Angeles, 2015 Professor Carlos A. Torres, Chair Education knows no boundaries but hot button topics, like comic books, demonstrate school, teacher and parent limitations. Japanese comic books (manga) are a litmus test of pedagogical tolerance. Because they play an important role in the lives of most Taiwanese teenagers, I give them pride of place in this dissertation. To understand Japanese comic books and their influence, I use Paulo Freire’s critical pedagogy to combine perspectives from cultural studies, comparative education, and educational sociology. With the cooperation of the administration, faculty and students of a Taiwanese junior high school, I used surveys, a textual analysis of five student-selected titles and interviews with students and educators. I discovered that Japanese manga contain complex and sometimes contradictory ideologies of ethnicity, gender, class, and violence. From an ethnic perspective, although students may glean cultural content from manga heroes and their retinues, people of color and non-Japanese Asians are either caricatures or non-existent; although Taiwanese teenager readers seem unaware of this. From a gender standpoint, neither the female characters’ provocative representation nor the male characters’ slavering responses to it raise students’ and teachers’ concerns.

  • 1. Introduction: Salt, Sodium Chloride, Has Probably Been with Us from The
    1. Introduction: Salt, sodium chloride, has probably been with us from the beginnings of geologic time, and has been necessary directly or indirectly through all stages of evolution of living things. The first oceans undoubtedly contained traces of salt, and our unicellular ancestors first appeared and thrived in this salty marine environment. In the process of evolution, these unicellular ancestors became multi-cellular, and some left their salty marine environment but still required salt. Our herbivorous ancestors used salt licks, and our carnivorous ones obtained their salt form the flesh and blood of their prey. This demand is necessity of/or all living for things for salt in one form or another continues today.Our bodies contain relatively large quantities of salt, as we may infer from the taste of “blood, sweat, and tears.”(Dalf.w.Knutmann, 1971) Salt, NaCl, is a chemical compound made of sodium and chloride which has been exceptionally important to humans for thousands of years, because it is one of the substances upon which all of life evolved to depend. Humans, like all life, need a supply of salt in order to simply survive. Salt's ability to preserve food was a foundation of civilization. It helped to eliminate the dependence on the seasonal availability of food and it allowed travel over long distances. However, salt was difficult to obtain, and so it was a highly valued trade item to the point of being considered a form of currency by certain peoples. Many salt roads, such as via salaria in Italy, had been established by the Bronze Age.

  • Study on Various Technologies in Wastewater Treatment D
    ISSN: 0974-2115 www.jchps.com Journal of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences Study on various technologies in wastewater treatment D. Rachel Evangelene Tulip Department of Civil Engineering, Bharath University, Selaiyur, Chennai-73 *Corresponding author: E-Mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Water is the most valuable resource in the world, and is now under threat due to human population and technical development. Since water is under demand to the human race, it has to be used efficiently. This has to be done by recycle and reuse of waste water. Since, the human population and environmental safety are the issues for the need of water treatment, water has to be done primarily atleast for the domestic wastewater for the basic needs. This review article discusses the various methods of treatment processes. This recycling and reusing of wastewater can meet the needs of human in their technical and industrial processes. Domestic wastewater reuse can also help the community to achieve a better living, and less dependent on ground water, hence ecosystem can also be balanced. The paper concludes that the wastewater treatment has to be done effectively based on the content and type of wastewater and reuse in the most efficient way to save our most valuable resource for the future. KEY WORDS: Wastewater, Technologies, Treatment 1. INTRODUCTION Waste Water treatment is a process of making water suitable for its application or returning its natural state. Thus, water treatment required before and after its application. The required treatment depends on the application. Wastewater treatment involves science, engineering, business, and art. The treatment may include mechanical, physical, biological, and chemical methods.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.
