The speaker is presumably lovesick, but the presence of love brings her back to health. This poem is about a sickly woman, who is cured by a man’s love. Once he’s healed, and the two of them go back to the secret garden, and all of the flowers are in full bloom. In the book, Mary Lennox, who moves from India to England, and is thus an outsider, helps a little boy named Colin back to health, teaching him how to walk again in her secret garden after he’s been crippled of a number of years. The title of this poem is a reference to the novel The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. When you came with tomatoes, a good poetry.īy a cliff of limestone that leaves chalk on my breasts. I was sick, fainting in the smell of teabags, The cauliflower thinks of her pale, plump childrenĪnd turns greenish-white in a light like the ocean’s.

I was ill, lying on my bed of old papers, She, like so many women of color before her, was heavily impacted by what happened to her. The punctuation is succinct, showing how much thought and time the speaker put into telling this story. ![]() The way the stanzas are in tercets is very calculated, representing each of the three rapists. This poem speaks to the horrors of rape, especially in women of color. The speaker’s rapists silence her, even though she wants to say something. Furthermore, if there is a ball of fur on her tongue, she would not be able to speak. The final line, “Night rests like a ball of fur on my tongue” (15) implies that this memory is something she wants to get rid of, but can’t seem to free herself of it a ball of fur in one’s mouth would certainly be uncomfortable. She says, “I clutch the ragged holes/ They Leave behind, here at the edge of darkness” (13-14), which shows how these men have destroyed her, how they’ve left their mark on her, how she’ll never forget what has happened. The fact that the speaker says “pools of ink” implies that the men are of color.Īlthough they are physically gone, the speaker still feels their presence. The men leave, “Glittering like pools of ink under moonlight” (12), which refers to the sweat dripping down their bodies, as they have just finished raping her. After she doesn’t respond, one man says, “Well, maybe next time” (11), which tells the speaker that they will be back again, that her experience with them is not over. The fact that she doesn’t know what to say shows that she is not engaging in sex happily, but rather, out of necessity. The men ask the speaker if she can “feel it yet” (8), wondering if she is finally enjoying the sex. She probably knows the men personally maybe they are family or friends. The “tiles quiver in pale strips” (3) represent her fear of what is coming-she knows these rapes are coming. ![]() The speaker refers to her “baby-breasts” (2), meaning that she is most likely underage. In this poem, three men rape the speaker in the bathroom. Night rests like a ball of fur on my tongue. They leave behind, here at the edge of darkness. Glittering like pools of ink under moonlight, Patting their sleek bodies with their hands. One on the bathtub edge one leans against the door. Then they come, the three seal men with eyes as roundĪs dinner plates and eyelashes like sharpened tines. Venetian blinds slice up the moon the tiles quiver in pale strips. Sweat prickles behind my knees, the baby-breasts are alert. Dove has received many awards and honors for her beautiful poetry, and currently is a professor at the University of Virginia.Īlthough it is night, I sit in the bathroom, waiting. Dove won the Pulitzer Prize for her work Thomas and Beulah in 1986 in which she wrote about her grandparents’ relationship and memories living in early 20 th century Ohio. With The Yellow House on the Corner and other works, Dove has been highly commended for her sense of history, lyricism, and political awareness. Dove’s first poetry collection The Yellow House on the Corner was published in 1980. She was an excellent student, graduating high school as a Presidential Scholar and eventually moving on to Miami University of Ohio as a National Merit Scholar. Rita Dove was born in 1952 in Akron, Ohio.

These two abnormal heart rhythms are frequently unrecognized and untreated since they typically are asymptomatic or can present symptoms that may include chest pain, lightheadedness, shortness of breath, fainting, and palpitations Shah et al. Thus, early diagnosis and treatment are crucial in managing AFib and AFlut and minimizing the risk of serious complications such as stroke Shah et al. Although the atria beat regularly, their accelerated rhythm causes a discrepancy with the rhythm of the ventricles, causing problems in the heart function Thaler. ![]() It is caused by a single electrical circuit that drives the atria to contract at 250-350 beats per minute Thaler. AFlut is a common supraventricular arrhythmia that is often misdiagnosed as atrial fibrillation, with the latter being more common Ko Ko et al. AFib is caused by chaotic electrical activity in the atria, leading to irregular and weak atrial contractions at a rate of 350-500 beats per minute, decreasing the effectiveness of the atria in pumping blood into the ventricles, thus compromising the heart function and increasing the risk of stroke and other heart-related complications Thaler, Brundel et al. , and are particularly dangerous for the elderly population Shah et al. Moreover, we demonstrate that the performance of our models only on the PhysioNet CinC Challenge 2021 databases are considerably lower than only on our private dataset.Ītrial Flutter (AFlut) and Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) are two types of irregular heart rhythms caused by abnormal electrical activity in the upper chambers of the heart, the Atria Cosío, Ko Ko et al. We showed that discrimination of AFib and AFlut is not trivial, and that one-dimensional signals had better performance than two-dimensional ones. Image-based and one-dimensional-based Deep Learning models were considered to perform the classification using different 1D and 2D Convolutional Neural Network architectures. ![]() ![]() This study investigates the use of standard 12-lead ECG records from six largest PhysioNet CinC Challenge 2021 databases and a private database to differentiate Atrial Fibrillation from Atrial Flutter. 11/23/2023 0 Comments Ccs carbon capture![]() “EOR itself leads to CO2 emissions both directly and indirectly,” the report said. Roughly 28m tonnes out of the 39m tonnes captured globally, according to its estimates, is reinjected and sequestered in oil fields to push more oil out of the ground. This “enhanced oil recovery” (EOS) accounts for about 73% of the CO2 captured globally each year, in recent years, according to the report. Most CCS projects have since reused captured gas by pumping it into dwindling oil fields to help squeeze out the last drops, it pointed out. IEEFA’s report said that although carbon capture and storage is a 50-year-old technology, its results have been varied. Internationally, to align with goals to reach net zero by 2050, annual CCS capacity will need to reach 1.6bn tonnes of CO2 every year by 2030, the International Energy Agency (IEA) has said. Proposals put forward by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (Beis) suggest that up to 30m tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions will need to be captured and sequestered every year in the UK alone by the mid-2030s, if targets are to be met. “Many international bodies and national government are relying on carbon capture in the fossil fuel sector to get to net zero, and it simply won’t work,” Bruce Robertson, the author of the IEEFA report, said.ĭespite being a technology still in development, carbon capture and storage has been put forward as a key element in the UK’s plans to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050. ![]() Of the 13 projects examined for the study – accounting for about 55% of the world’s current operational capacity – seven underperformed, two failed and one was mothballed, the report found. ![]() WARNING: This file contains graphic images For an account of the case see Eric Clegg's Return Your Verdict: Some Studies in Australian Murder.

And reinvention could drive substantial rewards. Almost 69 per cent consider enterprise-wide transformation essential to this reinvention and 77 per cent of leaders see cloud as essential to their business reinvention plans in the next three years. All business leaders plan at least some level of significant changes to their business with half intending radical reinvention compared with only 9 per cent of the laggards. Accenture classified 10 per cent of companies that scored the highest in the index - which are setting the pace for reinvention through bold and decisive actions - as reinvention leaders and with those at the bottom 25 per cent labelled as laggards. The report titled 'Necessity is the Mother of (Re)invention' features results from a global survey of more than 200 executives and introduces Accenture's Reinvention Index, which analysed companies across key factors related to reinvention. New Delhi, May 19 (ANI): Oil and gas companies most committed to reinventing themselves over the next three years expect to grow their revenues and margins at twice the rate of companies least committed to reinvention, according to a new report from global professional services company Accenture. In a medium bowl, add granular sweetener, cinnamon and salt. Place acorn squash cut side down on baking sheet and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until softened.

Enjoy!īaked Acorn Squash w/ Butter, "Brown Sugar" & PecansĢ tablespoons Swerve granular sweetener (or other granular sweetener) These would make a perfect side dish to serve at Thanksgiving, too! I snapped a few photos below and included the easy peasy recipe for the baked acorn squash. It gave it just enough flavor and color to mimic brown sugar and then mixed it with butter, cinnamon and pecans to make an absolutely delicious topping for the acorn squash. To make the "brown sugar" for my acorn squash topping, I simply mixed 2 tablespoons of Swerve Sweetener (granular) with 1/4 teaspoon blackstrap molasses. That's all there is to it, other than serve and eat. ![]() I returned the halibut to the pan and basted it with the lemon garlic butter and capers. I then added about 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon zest and 1 heaping tablespoon of capers (leave them out if you don't like them). Add 2 tablespoons Kerrygold Garlic & Herb Butter to the skillet, 1 to 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice and swirl until melted and bubbling. Transfer the fillets to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. To make the halibut (I prepared 2 6-ounce fillets), season both sides with salt and pepper, then sear it in about 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat for about 3 to 4 minutes per side (depending on the thickness). It takes less than 15 minutes to make and you can prepare it while the acorn squash is in the oven baking. It was easy to make and full of "fall flavor." I cooked the halibut in Kerrygold's Garlic & Herb Butter, a squeeze of fresh lemon and a few capers. I made Pan Seared Wild Halibut and Baked Acorn Squash with Butter, "Brown Sugar" & Pecans (no worries, it's sugar free "brown sugar"). Just use a few sprinkles or some chopped up fresh if you have it.This evening we had an easy and delicious dinner. I used a little bit of rosemary in the brown sugar glaze, no measurement here. I bought one last week without a stem and within 5 days it had spoiled much to my surprise, I knew I needed to use it quickly but was surprised how quick. If it doesn’t have a stem, use it right away or it will spoil really fast. When buying acorn squash look for firm, shiny green color and they should have the stems. ![]() I’m just not going to be as exacting as I was this time. I would however still get what I could before cutting the squash into pieces. It may be easier to do the whole squash this way, I will try it next time. It was a little difficult to get in the creases so do as I did and get it the best you can and then after you cut the squash into pieces finish getting off the rest of the skin. ![]() It has to be sharp or you will be saying things to me I don’t want to hear. Make sure you have a really good peeler if you are going to do this. I will admit halfway thru peeling this I really wondered if it was worth it. I have never taken the time to peel one before, I always have just cut them in half or quarters and proceeded from there. Oh my gosh, this was so good! I love acorn squash, it might be one of my favorite vegetables. 11/22/2023 0 Comments Todoist windows 8 appRegardless of which to-do list app you choose, my favorite choices all have some basic things in common.Įasy to use, with an uncomplicated interface and easy onboarding.

In this case, you would want to use the override function to manually disconnect the batteries from one another so you could just power the main battery to start your vehicle. This is necessary for emergency situations like jump-starting your vehicle. The NVX XSBi Series includes a manual override function that allows you to disconnect or link the two batteries with the push of a button. In both of these applications, this smart isolator would be perfect to monitor your batteries’ voltage. (See Switching Battery Banks, Cruising World. Therefore, if you want to add those additional accessories you will need an additional battery as well. best accomplished with a highoutput alternator of 120 to 150 amps that is driven. Compatible with all types of alternators and charging systems. High current relays are the most reliable and efficient way to add. Ideal for 2nd audio battery isolation from vehicle systems. For UTVs and ATVs, their batteries are too small to power any additional accessories like stereos and speakers. Stinger 200 AMP Battery Relay Isolator and Relay. Upgrading it with a second battery will be a necessary addition to your car. High power output amplifiers require a lot of power from your charging system. In your car, you might be looking to add a second battery when installing a competition-grade amplifier. This smart isolator is a must when adding a second battery to your vehicle. When you turn your engine back on, the batteries will be connected without any voltage drop to the second battery. This prevents excessive wear and lengthens the life of the batteries. All relays disconnect the batteries when the engine is turned off. When two-vehicle batteries are wired in parallel they have a tendency to charge and drain one another. These smart battery Isolators also help lengthen the life of your starter battery. This ensures you should never have a drained starter battery again. Allows maintenance free & deep cycle batteries to be charged properly, yet separately. Allows proper current control to each battery bank. Engineered and rated so that either leg will handle total isolator rating.

Personally, I wouldn't worry about the rims, just get 3 new tires mounted on thick rims if your gonna be in the rocks Otherwise medium thickness is good. I can't tell in the picture, if the rear axle has 5 bolts then it's not 86 or 87. A 350X is less rare but they run 200 to 350$ on EBAY but you have trike friends here. The headlight would be on the expensive side. I love the 87 tank decals buried in clear!! Contact Onformula1 for suspension.īill007 can get you nice air shrouds, not sure what colors he has.

What do you guys think? Thanks for reading and hope you enjoyed the story and pics! I'm only considering that since mine is an 87 model. Anyone on here have the parts I'd need and could buy in one whole deal instead of piecing it back together off of ebay? I almost think I'd be better off to find a clean 86 and buy it for parts but Id hate to part out another good bike. ![]() Plus it needs seat work which I do upholstery, but it will also need new tires along with new levers. According to ebay prices, I'm looking at somewhere around $1000 bucks for new fenders, used rear shock, used front forks, brake system. The trike actually runs pretty strong, but smokes pretty heavy. Do the wheels look to be the originals, obviously the tires are not. ![]() The trike is also missing the complete rear brake system besides the disc. I'm also thinking that the front end is off of a 1st generation 200X or something else possibly. It's obvious that the rear shock is from something else and poorly modified to fit. I'd like to know what parts you guys see that are not original to the trike. If it was an all original 1987 in pristine shape then I would, but it's seen a fair share of use and abuse over the years. I have no intentions of sitting it away on a shelf to just look at. So, what I would like to do is restore the trike enough to make it a nice looking rider. Later that day though, I couldn't believe my eyes when I dug out that old title and the VIN matched the bike that was sitting in front of me! Sure enough, my uncle's old bike that he sold off in 1990 had found its way to me! I really didn't think just too much of it UNTIL I saw the key switch! I thought maybe it was a fluke and someone added it or something. ![]() Later that weekend, he dropped the 200X off at my place to check out and work on. To my surprise, my brother went and bought that bike for a helluva price. I forwarded the ad to my brother who lived a lot closer to the seller. I saw an ad for a 200X for sale in Missouri that had some pretty bad pictures, but I could tell it was a rough 2nd generation 200X. I tucked the title away with some others and hadn't given it much thought since.įast forward to two weeks ago. The interesting thing about the title is that my uncle had purchased the trike brand new and his name was still on the title. A friend of his owned the trike around 1999/2000 and had sold it but he couldn't find the title at the time. About 6 years ago, a local guy gave me a title to a 1987 200X. |
