I don't often read poems, especially a whole book of them. I never had good experiences studying poetry in high school and college, so I usually avoid them.
This week I have been on a hunt for books by local authors. I found a nice selection of several books, and was pleased to find a poetry book written by someone I used to work with! I bought it and read the whole book. (Luckily, poetry books are usually not very long.)
The book is Between by Morgan Grayce Willow. I really enjoyed this book. Willow is pondering how our bodies work, how our thoughts form, she highlights people in her life, nature, life and death, Lake Superior, and even American Sign Language. (She is a former sign language interpreter which is how I happened to work with her once, long ago.)
This was a good reminder to me that poetry isn't always some old, cumbersome piece of drudgery that I can't understand. I guess when I was made to study poetry, I didn't have the fun of reading poems which spoke to me. (Or, more likely, I was too young and naïve to have experienced life enough to appreciate the poems.)
If you're not a reader of poetry, pick some up and read it this week. See what you think! Maybe it'll bring some magic into your life.

Gary Barlow “settling tax affairs ASAP”
By Chi Chi Izundu
Newsbeat entertainment reporter
2 September 2014 Last updated at 23:36
Gary Barlow has said he is working with new accountants to settle his tax affairs “ASAP”.
Writing on Twitter, he apologised to any fans who were offended by stories earlier in the year on the subject.
Take That members Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen and manager Jonathan Wild were among some 1,000 people involved.
They paid into schemes said to support the music industry – but a tribunal judge ruled they had actually been set up for tax avoidance purposes.
HM Revenue and Customs have said they will not “tolerate abuse of the system”.
The Take That stars and their manager invested money through a company called Icebreaker.
Since March 2010, the four have been directors of Larkdale LLP – one of 50 partnerships that Icebreaker arranged to harness tax reliefs that the government had intended would support those in creative industries.


The consumer’s issue:
“I bought a car from the dealership in January 2015, and in February 2016, I complained about the wear on my leather seats, but the business refused to repair the issue and said it was wear and tear. Eventually, they changed their minds and repaired the vehicle in May 2016. When they returned the car, I found numerous faults, which included a chemical smell in the cabin, crease marks and puckering on the passenger seat cover, flaking material on the passenger door seal, white marks across the interior, shiny marks on the driver’s seat, and damage to the rear offside alloy wheel. I also later identified that the interior was a greyish brown colour (instead of black), and that the door panels were removed and not refitted correctly.
In addition, foam was sticking out of the passenger seat belt holder, there was a bulge in the rubber seal, whilst part of the roof was not properly assembled. In August 2016, the business offered to replace the flaking door seal, the damaged alloy wheel and fully valet the car in full and final settlement of the dispute. However, I declined to settle the dispute, because I want the business to pay a third party to repair the car. Either the faults were present at the point of sale and/or the business caused them during the repair works.”
The accredited business’ response:
- We believe that we have already tried to settle the dispute.
- We are not liable for anything further, and we consider the case to be closed.
The adjudication outcome:
- The adjudicator did not find the matter to be settled. This is because the business failed to submit a signed “full and final” settlement agreement. As a result, The Motor Ombudsman pursued their investigation.
- The adjudicator did not find that the business caused crease marks and puckering on the seat covers, the white marks across the interior and damage to the alloy wheel, because the evidence did not link these issues to the workmanship of the dealership or demonstrate that it was an inherent fault that was present at the point of sale.
- In addition, The Motor Ombudsman did not find the dealership to be liable for the other issues, such as the door panel misalignment and the grey-brown interior discolouration. This is because a reasonable person would have identified these issues during inspection of the car at the point of sale. Replacing the worn seat covers would have also not required repairs or interference with the other components.
- Therefore, the customer’s complaint was not upheld by the adjudicator.
- The customer and accredited business did not appeal the decision, and the case was closed.


The Fifth Alliance were formed in late 2006 in Bruda, Netherlands. Their sound is a mixture of doom, sludge and hardcore. The members include Silvia on vocals, Niels and Ivo on guitars, Rudd on bass and Ashwin on drums.
Although the band was conceived back in 2006, their full length Unrevealed Secrets Of Ruin came out only 7 seven years later, in April 2013 on Demons Run Amok due to line-up changes and various other setbacks. Their previous releases consist of 2007’s self-released EP Fear Consumption and 2009’s Reflections On Consciousness EP in 2009 released through Crossfirecult Records.
What we have here is 7 songs, almost 40 minutes of angst-ridden music. The lyric themes, as the band themselves stated in the context of an interview on idioteq.com (check here http://www.idioteq.com/the-fifth-allian ... but-album/), include “blind consumption and the lack of consideration in peoples choices and therefore not seeing the impact on earth, human- or animal welfare, and basically the overall self-destructive nature of man, also issues like isolation, loss, organized religion and acts being justified in the name of..”.
The intro that introduces the listener to the first song, 10-minute “Hollow,” one of the two best tracks on this album, is absolutely haunting. It makes you feel that something important is going to happen here, and within seconds the first scream kicks in. The guitars are slow and heavy, building up the tension, offering us Ιsis-like riffs especially somewhere in the middle.
All songs feature long and really interesting intros, all well as frequent rhythmic twists, continuously staggering between quiet and violent. You can feel the negativity, as well as the peace, and their influences, going from sludge to hardcore to post-metal, find their way to your ears now and then. For example, the title track follows the hardcore path, whereas instrumental “Intermezzo” is absolutely dreamlike, making us think of post-metal, even post-rock, as the melodies quite oddly reminded me of God is an Astronaut at the end of the track.
My second favourite track standing next to “Hollow” would be the closing one, called “Standing Tall”. From the killer electric intro, to the little punk part that hits you at 01:50, this is a good track. I really loved the drums here, they play a dominating role throughout the whole album, but this particular track surprised me with blast beats, giving a whole new dynamic to it. Being the last song, the track fades out and the album comes to a halt.
Unfortunately, there is a “but” to all this. The part I really didn’t like about this album are the vocals. They are aggressive and furious, but in a different way than one would expect to find in a sludge/doom band. They instantly made me think of brutal hardcore, coming from the New York area, and didn’t fit the background music at all to my ears. Having listened to this record, I’d like them to be deeper, Dark Castle-like, or more atmospheric, as in the likes of Kylesa.
The music hits you hard and it hits you good, the vocals kind of ruined it for me though. Listen to Unrevealed Secrets Of Ruin and find out yourself.

The route section, which is five kilometers (about three miles) long, is aimed at protecting the West Bank settlement of Tzofim.
In their decision, the judges wrote that the section occupies lands at an overall area of more than 1,000 dunam (about 250 acres), 650 dunam (162.5 acres) of it privately owned by Palestinian residents.
In the ruling, Supreme Court President Aharon Barak criticized the State Prosecutor's Office, saying that "a grave phenomenon has been revealed in this petition. The High Court was not presented with the entire picture in the first petition. The court rejected the appeal based on partial information."
Barak added: "This petition points to an incident that cannot be accepted, according to which the information provided to the court did not reflect the entire considerations contemplated by the judges.
The route in the area was discussed in the past in at the midst of many terror attacks that occurred at the time, and the petition was rejected.
B'Tselem: State lied
The judges accepted the State's request to postpone the operations to dismantle the fence section by six months until the alternative route is built, but stressed that they were not giving a legal authorization for the new route. In addition, the State was required to pay the legal costs, amounting to NIS 50,000 (about USD 11,173).
The B'Tselem human rights organization said in response to the decision that "the High Court of Justice in fact ruled that the State lied when it claimed that the fence route is only based on security considerations. This ruling requires a renewed discussion on all the petitions rejected based on those claims."
The High Court later discussed eight petitions filed against the fence route in the Gush Etzion area. This was the first court hearing on the fence route in that area. The first issue to be discussed is on the environmental level and will refer to the fence route in the Kfar Etzion School.
During the discussion, the petitioners' representatives and State representatives were planning to ask the court to postpone the discussion on the fence route in the area until the alternative route the parties will agree upon will be completed.
In the rest of the petitions submitted, the petitioners offered several alternatives to the route. According to the State's response, the route will be altered near the Kfar Etzion School.

|Claude Monet 1840-1926|
I confess, when I went to Paris to live there in my teen years, I didn't know a lot about art. I loved it though, and something about it resonated with me on a basic and intrinsic level. Almost instinctually, I knew what I liked, and what I didn't like. Often, this response was much different or even opposite of looking at an art book in school.
While in Paris, I fell in love with Claude Monet. I'll never forget the day I saw one of his paintings at the Jeu de Paume in Paris. I stopped in my tracks and was struck with awe. I think I sat in front of one of his famous japanese footbridge and water lily kind of paintings for three-four hours. That really short changed my time for the rest of my visit!
Later, of course, I learned that he was the cornerstone artist of the Impressionist movement. My response to it was so abrupt because the impressionists were masters at capturing light, or a response to light in a profound way. They illuminated that first impression your eye thinks it sees without altering the way that they wish it would be, or the way it is in the concrete world.
Naturally, when my poetry teacher said to write a ekphrastic poem, I deliberately looked for a painting from my beloved Claude Monet. I hope my interpretation makes legacy more vivid.
|The Magpie, Winter 1868-1869|
Magpie by Claude Monet
In the cool. Crisp morning air
I saw a magpie sitting there
While drinking my morning coffee, he
Seemed to be singing just for me
Not on a ledge, nor in a tree
Across the yard, on top ladder stair
His proud song carries across the wintry air
The golden hue of morning light
A crescendo of cream, gold, and white
Creating linear shadows there
From trunks to trees, to magpie’s stare
All lines leading magpie to me
Though shadows are merely void of light
Their contrast is to our delight
So, please magpie, call with your trill
The cacophony of senses is my thrill

Morata double guides impressive Spain into last 16
NICE – Holders Spain became the first team to score more than two goals in a game at Euro 2016, beating Turkey 3-0 as Andres Iniesta shone again and forward Alvaro Morata answered his critics with a double.
They also achieved their first objective, which was to avoid a repeat of their dismal first round exit at the last World Cup, as they booked a place in the round of 16 with a game to spare.
Spain have won both of their games in Group D without conceding a goal and Turkey have lost theirs without scoring.
Angry Turkey coach Fatih Terim said his team made an unbelievable mistake on one goal and accused them of throwing in the towel.
His opposite number Vicente del Bosque was pleased that his side had been more clinical in the penalty area.
“It’s good to have fulfilled the first objective. We played well and controlled the game virtually for the 90 minutes,” he said. “There is no point in playing well on the rest of the pitch if we can’t finish.”
Turkey made a reasonably positive start but fell apart after Morata, criticised for being ineffective in the 1-0 win over Croatia, and Nolito struck in quick succession before halftime.
Spain virtually walked the ball into the net for the third, Morata tapping home after Iniesta threaded one of the best passes of the tournament through a bewildered Turkish defence.

HEMOGLOBİN VARİANTS FOR HPLC
kr118 reagent kit for the hplc determination of hemoglobin variants in whole blood.
Contents for 1000 analyses:
Hemoglobinopathy is a kind of genetic defect that results in abnormal structure of one of the globin chains of the hemoglobin molecule.
Hemoglobin is a protein in erythrocytes that carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body and gives blood its red color. hb consists of four subunits.each of them contain a polypeptide chain and a prosthetic group called”hem”. Six different polypeptide chains namely alpha(α),beta (β),gamma(µ),delta(δ),epsilon( ε)and zeta (ζ)have been identified in the globin portion of human hb. The genes coding for and a-polypeptide chains are located on chromosome 16,£,y,s ve b-polypeptide chains are coded on chromosome 11. These genes are inherited according to mendel laws and are co-dominant.normal hbs in the red blood cells are hb a, hb a2 and hb f. Most of the structural changes in hb are resulted from the mutations on the globin genes. Up to now, about 890 different variants of hb have been described. While some of these variants are not cause health problems, some of them cause severe hemolytic anemia an life-threatening complications. hb is one of the systems use in population screening and neonatal screening programmes due to clinic importance and high frequency of hb variants.
EQUIPMENT AND INSTRUMENTAL PARAMETERS
The analysis of hemoglobin variants requires a hplc including gradient system with hplc pump ,autosampler. Autoinjector and uv detector. The use of a solvent degasser prevents air bubbles and ensure a stable baseline.
Sampler : Injection volume 10pl, analytical run time 8.5min.
Hplc pump : Flow rate 1.5 ml/min is recommended

MOAB — The Grand Red Devils won their first two 2A baseball playoff games Saturday, coming from behind for a wild 6-5 win over the surprisingly tough Diamond Ranch Diamondbacks, then rolling to an 11-1 victory over the Parowan Rams in the second-round contest that followed.
Diamond Ranch, the No. 6 seed from Region 13, gave Grand, Region 15’s top seed, just about all it could handle.
“Diamond Ranch is for real,” said Grand coach Jared Meador, adding that Diamondbacks pitcher Zeb Pierson frustrated Grand’s offense for much of the game.
“They played like a three seed instead of a six seed,” added Grand assistant coach Ron Dolphin.
Diamond Ranch took a 1-0 lead on a sacrifice fly in the second inning, only to have Grand retake the lead when a few scattered hits produced a couple of runs in the bottom of the third to make it 2-1.
Diamond Ranch evened up the score in the top of the fourth on a close play at the plate, then Pierson belted an RBI double and ended up scoring shortly thereafter to make it 4-2.
Grand managed to get three runners on base in the bottom of the fourth, but got no runs in. Diamond Ranch added another run on a fielder’s choice play in the fifth to extend its lead to 5-2.
In the top of the sixth inning, the D-Backs went three-up, three-down, after which Grand staged a three-run rally in the bottom of the sixth to finally retake the lead.
Senior Adam Jenkinson, Grand’s leadoff hitter, opened with a single, after which fellow senior Kiel Schraft bunted and beat the throw to first. Two of Grand’s next three batters got out, but Koi Cook walked and Jenkinson scored from third on a passed ball during McElhaney’s at-bat. Kyler Nelson then drove in both Schraft and Cook with a single, putting Grand up 6-5. White was thrown out at second on the play, but the damage had been done.
In the top of the seventh, the Diamondbacks managed to get two runners on base, but the game ended with a strikeout and a line drive to shortstop, which Brayden Ward caught.
Cook, who went the distance on the mound for the Red Devils, said the win was one of his hardest ever as a pitcher. Even so, Cook said he was confident his team would come back. “I felt like we were going to win, even though we were down pretty much the whole game,” Cook said.
“They were hitting Koi’s fastball pretty well at the start of the game,” said Coach Dolphin. “But he’s a competitor and was able to work through things and settle down by about the fifth inning. We started out a little too anxious, but we are a resilient team and were able to fight back and get the win.”
After that first-round scare, the Red Devils had only about 20 minutes to regroup and get ready to face Parowan, which beat Summit Academy 4-0 in the first game of the day. Jake Topham had pitched the entire game and earned the shutout win for the Rams.
In the second-round game, the Rams’ Justice Walker and Grand’s Nelson were the starting pitchers.
After a scoreless first inning, Grand sent 12 batters to the plate in the bottom of the second, scoring eight runs. Highlights included doubles by Ronnie Dolphin and Cameron Taylor and two singles by Nelson. Walker was taken off the mound midway through the rally and played center field for a couple of innings while reliever Caleb Murphy took over. Walker did come back and pitch in the fifth inning, which is when Grand’s Jenkinson tripled and later scored to put Grand’s lead to 10 runs, ending the game in the fifth inning due to the mercy rule.
Parowan’s only run of the contest came during the third inning, when Brenen Rowley walked with the bases loaded.
“Parowan didn’t have a good game against us, but they are a quality team,” said Meador, who noted that the Rams worked their way through the one-loss bracket to make it to the state championship game last year.
Grand will next face Manti in the third round, while Parowan and Summit Academy each remain alive in the one-loss bracket. The 2A state tournament continues next week at Kearns.
In other action Saturday at Moab:
Parowan 4, Summit Academy 0: Jake Topham went the distance as the Rams picked up the first-round shutout win.
Summit Academy 12, Diamond Ranch 8: After losing to Parowan and dropping into the one-loss bracket, the Bears rebounded to stay alive in the 2A playoffs.


What inspired you to enter the aquaculture industry?
In 2014, my family and I decided to excavate some ponds on our farm, as a hobby and a source of fish for our own consumption. It took four years to be granted an environmental licence – during which time I studied cultivation techniques and fell in love with the craft. I also realised the potential financial returns and decided to start farming professionally.
How many tonnes of tilapia do you produce each year and what kind of system do you operate?
I acquire the fingerlings, and grow them up to 800 grams, harvest them, fillet them and them and then sell them directly to the final consumer.
In 2021 my production reached 40 tonnes, but in 2022 it dropped to 20 tonnes, due to the production costs rising by more than 120 percent and the commercial value of tilapia growing by only 65 percent, making it difficult to make a profit. I aim to reach 250 tonnes per year by 2032.
What are the main challenges your fish face in terms of well-being?
Large temperature variations, the high cost of electricity needed to renew the water in the ponds, the lack of skilled labour for cultivation and management and predation – mostly by birds, but also by snakes, otters and alligators, which are thriving after we planted over 11,000 native trees along the local stream.
Unfortunately, our production difficulties do not stop only with regard to welfare, we also face an unstable supply of electric energy, with power cuts lasting up to 60 hours at a time. The road network is unreliable too, making access to the farm difficult after heavy rains.
How do you face these challenges in your daily work?
I'm designing deeper tanks to reduce thermal variation, I’ve invested in a photovoltaic power generation system (and a back-up generator) and I’ve trained my four full-time and several part-time employees. I’ve also installed safety nets over the ponds to keep the birds away.
What do you think of possible plans to adopt minimum fish welfare standards in your region?
This is good news and I believe that welfare-compliant production will soon be mandatory. But, at the moment, most of those involved in aquaculture in my region are not concerned about the welfare of the fish, as their biggest concern is to make their businesses profitable.
In my production, I take welfare very seriously and, little by little, I am creating a market differential from other producers who only aim for profits.
How would a change in legislation impact other farmers?
Medium and large producers are already paying more attention to welfare and are already planning to adapt in the future. Many smaller producers will have to make considerable changes.
Do you think welfare can pay dividends from an economic and ethical perspective?
Yes. In my opinion, consumer recognition will come little by little. Initially, welfare will be a market differential, where consumers will choose the product with good practices but will not pay extra for it. In the longer term high welfare products will be able to have a differentiated value too.
Can you explain your relationship with FAI in terms of welfare practices?
In 2019, I had the pleasure of meeting the executive director of FAI Farms, Murilo Quintiliano, we came together for a common project: to produce 100,000 tilapia juveniles, vaccinated, in 3 months, to supply the largest fish farming project in Brazil. We succeeded with the help of FAI professionals – including veterinarians, aquaculture engineers, fisheries engineers and animal production technicians. As I looked around, I realised that I was inside a “classroom” on my own property.
We later worked on the development of tilapia welfare protocols and I am currently collaborating with them on trials to prove the effectiveness of protocols in the FAI welfare app, providing data so FAI can conduct studies and collect evidence.
On a more general level, how would you like your farm to evolve in the coming years?
The objective is that within 10 years, the property will be self-sustainable in terms of inputs and waste. Aiming at three pillars that will be absolute in the near future: animal welfare, sustainability and environmental responsibility.

Principal Proposed Uses
Other Proposed Uses
Boldo ( Peumus boldus ) is an evergreen shrub native to South America. It grows about 6 to 20 feet high and has thick waxy leaves. Although boldo has a long history of use as a culinary spice and medicinal herb, and is still one of the most common medicinal plants used in Chile, it has only recently become the subject of scientific research. The leaves of the boldo plant have traditionally been used as a treatment for liver and bladder disorders as well as rheumatism. They have also been used for a wide variety of other ailments, including headache, earache, congestion, menstrual pain, and syphilis. Recent research suggests boldo may protect the liver from toxins, stimulate the gallbladder, and reduce inflammation. 1–4
What Is Boldo Used for Today?Germany's Commission E has approved boldo for "spastic gastrointestinal complaints and dyspepsia." 5Dyspepsia is a rather vague term that corresponds to the common word "indigestion," indicating a wide variety of digestive problems including stomach discomfort, lack of appetite, and nausea. In Europe, dyspepsia is commonly attributed to inadequate flow of bile from the gallbladder. Although this connection has not been proven, boldo has been used as a treatment for dyspepsia based on how it affects the gallbladder. Boldo does not seem to increase bile production, but it may cause gallbladder contraction. 6,7,8 Boldo taken alone has not been well evaluated as a treatment for dyspepsia; however, a combination herbal treatment containing boldo (along with other herbs thought to stimulate the gallbladder) has been studied. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial , 60 people given either an artichoke leaf/boldo/celandine combination or placebo found improvements in symptoms of indigestion after 14 days of treatment. 9 How this combination might be effective for treating dyspepsia is unclear. Note: Celandine may present significant risk of liver toxicity. 10,11,12 Studies on animals have found that boldo may have some ability to protect the liver from toxins, 13,14,15 perhaps due to the antioxidant effects of a boldo constituent called boldine. 16,17,18 Boldo also has anti-inflammatory properties, 19,20,21 and, in addition, may act as a laxative . 22 Finally the essential oils found in boldo have antimicrobial properties; 23 this is true of many essential oils, however, and does not indicate that boldo can act as an antibiotic.

In 1950 I was born in Kibbutz Kfar Hamaccabi, Israel, where I lived until 1988.
Since 1988 I live in Doetinchem, The Netherlands, and work as a freelance-photographer and painter. In my commercial work I take photographs for a stock agency and make commissioned work. Wishing to combine my photography with drawing and painting, I began to mix them in my artistic work. It began in 1992 with photo collages and took another form in 1996 with body-paintings.

Inspiration For "The River Knows"
I have recently been reading the works of a number of famous poets including Henry Lawson, Charles Bukowski, Walt Whitman etc. The latest I have been studying is Seamus Heaney, and so this poem is inspired by one of his works called "The Harvest Bow."
The subject of "The River Knows" is totally different but the structure, flow and rhyme scheme similar to Seamus Heaney's poem. I hope you enjoy it.
The River Knows
Strolling by the river, risks are fraught,
Your demeaner indicated deeper thought.
I took your hand but your response was slow
Just like the water's gentle rippling flow.
Words were tangled bitter in my throat
And conversation started by you nought.
Is it so long ago I saw you swoon?
We sat as lovers staring at the moon
Exchanging words of love, was it a dream?
Now tongue-tied both, the only sound the stream.
Our sad discomfort felt by only us,
The river babbles by, oblivious.
Should I extract words from my aching heart?
It makes me wonder were you just a flirt?
I toss a stone, it skims, and then it sinks
To the dark bottom of the river’s depths.
The river is much wiser than us both
The riddle answered by the sinking stone.
Who Was Seamus Heaney?
Seamus Justin Heaney was an Irish poet, playwright and translator. Heaney was recognised as one of the principal contributors to poetry during his lifetime. American poet Robert Lowell described him as "the most important Irish poet since Yeats", and many others, including the academic John Sutherland, have said that he was "the greatest poet of our age".
Heaney published his first poetry book in 1966, Death of a Naturalist, creating vivid portraits of Irish rural life. Later work looked at events in Irish history as well as his homeland's civil war, and allusions to Irish myth.
He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1995 and later received England's T.S. Eliot and David Cohen prizes, among a wide array of accolades. He was known for his speaking engagements as well and traveled across the world to share his art and ideas.
Seamus Heaney was a professor at Harvard from 1981 to 1997, and its Poet in Residence from 1988 to 2006. He was also the Professor of Poetry at Oxford from 1989 to 1994. During this period he divided his time between Dublin and Boston.
Heaney's Last Work
His last book of poetry, Human Chain, was published in 2010. I love this collection and in my opinion contains some of his best poems. Here is a short poem from the book as an example:
Had I Not Been Awake
Had I not been awake I would have missed it,
A wind that rose and whirled until the roof
Pattered with quick leaves off the sycamore
And got me up, the whole of me a-patter,
Alive and ticking like an electric fence:
Had I not been awake I would have missed it
It came and went too unexpectedly
And almost it seemed dangerously,
Hurtling like an animal at the house,
A courier blast that there and then
Lapsed ordinary. But not ever"
Regarded as a kind, lovely soul, he died in Dublin, Ireland, on August 30, 2013, at the age of 74.
Upon his death, The Independent described him as "probably the best-known poet in the world".
Both his stunning work and his life were a gift to the world. His mind, heart, and his uniquely Irish gift for language made him our finest poet of the rhythms of ordinary lives and a powerful voice for peace.
