Keep Pressing Forward: A Tibet travel essay by Devin Moore

Tibet: a magnificent place steeped in ancient history. Mountains dominate the landscape at every turn and prayer flags flutter in the wind as their mantras pervade outward bringing peace and wisdom to those below. Rivers meander through IMG_0457valleys like veins, providing life-blood for the farms that allow Tibet’s people to eek out an existence in the harsh elements. Walking out of the airport, I was ecstatic and nervous at the same time; my first visit to Tibet was my first trip overseas at all. Jumping into the unknown halfway around the world was a test of fate.

“Tashi Delek, welcome to Tibet,” said a smiling man holding a piece of paper with my name on it. He draped around my neck a long white Khata, a sash symbolizing purity and compassion. In Tibetan culture it is customary to greet guests with a Khata along with the greeting “Tashi Delek”. While it doesn’t directly translate to English it is a word of welcome intended to wish blessings and good fortune.

“My name is Sonam, you are Devin?” he continued in accented yet surprisingly clear English.

“Yes, wonderful to meet you!” I replied as I shook his hand.

“This is our driver, he will take us to Lhasa,” noted Sonam. The driver, who’s name I don’t remember, chuckled at the language barrier between us, waived, and shook my hand.

Sonam’s aura of kindness and hospitality was strikingly clear, and eased my nervousness a bit. I had made it; I was finally here, in the far-flung, mysterious, and exotic land that is Tibet. Thinking back to those first few moments brings about feelings of euphoria. As I climbed into the van, Sonam handed me a bottle of water, which I gulped down instantly. The effects of the drastic change in altitude were shocking. I felt parched and light-headed just walking through the airport. I remember stopping in the bathroom on the way out and leaning against a sink.

“You ok?” kindly asked a concerned looking man, in heavily accented English.

“Ok,” I responded as I nodded my head.

As we began to drive away from the airport Sonam and I made some casual conversation while getting to know each other a little better. Even though Sonam and I had just met and our driver didn’t speak English, I knew I was among friends. Sonam answered all of my questions with delight and seemed to have genuinely appreciated my curiosity.

Only a few days after my arrival in Tibet, I was set to embark on a four-day trek to Mt. Everest Base Camp, high in the Himalayas. Looking back I had no idea what I was getting into. The terrain was fairly forgiving, but it was the altitude that I would battle. Imagine for a moment taking a deep breath and feeling as if your lungs still starve for oxygen, must be how a fish feels out of water. For some reason I had it in my mind, at least up until then, one could just jump on a plane, travel to the other side of the world, complete a four-day trek in the highest mountain range in the world and expect it to be a cakewalk. This was a journey that would test my mental and physical strength to the core.

Growing up I spent most of my time indoors watching television or playing computer games. I was always on the chubby side and was never interested in exercising or physically exerting myself in any way. During my high school years, I became more active and slimmed down but it still came as a surprise to many that I had committed myself to setting out on such an adventure. I hired a personal trainer several months before my departure to help me get into shape; I made headway in gaining muscle mass and even got to the point where I could run a few miles with no problem. No amount of training could have fully prepared me for the drastic change in altitude. I hadn’t yet left the airport and it was clear that what lay ahead was to be an extreme challenge.

The drive to Lhasa, Tibet’s capital, left me beaming at the mountain scenery and life in the valleys. Yak roam through fields and along the bank of the river that runs near the road while the people tend to barley blooming bright yellow blossoms that gleam in the sun. Leaving the rapidly expanding cities is like taking a step back in time, everything moves a little slower and life revolves around the seasons. I once met a farmer who watched the stars for their signal to plant, to harvest and everything in between. Gazing up at the heavens has always mesmerized me; I admire the wisdom, experience, and patience it takes to live by nature instead of the demands of the modern world.  Some areas of Tibet have little space for crops, so the yak must be driven to mountain pastures to graze for the summer.  During the annual harvest festival, after all the fields have been cleared, the farmers give their yak troughs of barley wine so they can drunkenly stampede through the harvested fields. When I asked why, I was told that it makes them happy after a long summer standing in the cold and windy mountains. Compassion runs deep in Tibet.

We arrived in Lhasa, the capital. Clearly divided into two sections, the west has new construction where hundreds of thousands of Han Chinese call home, the aged structures, built in traditional Tibetan style, of east Lhasa is where most Tibetans live. The east side maintains a grasp on its old world charm while the restaurants, shopping malls, name brand stores, and non stop construction on the west side is typical of a Chinese city. My hotel was on the edge of Barkhor Bazaar, one of the oldest parts of Lhasa. Buildings two or three stories high lie on each side of paths that wind through the maze that is the Barkhor area. Little shops line the bazaar selling everything from jewelry to household items to large slabs of meat. Outside the shops are shouting merchants that sell statues, incense, and little odds and ends from their stalls. The winding paths lead to a large square where Jokhang Temple, one of Tibet’s most important temples, houses the only known statue of the Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama, that remains in existence today. Sculpted in his twelve-year-old image, it was a gift given by the Chinese around 647 AD.

Devout pilgrims throw themselves on the ground, prostrating in reverence outside the temple. Some walk counterclockwise in circles around it spinning their prayer wheels and chanting mantras. Large chimneys burn incense smelling of a mixture of pine needles and earthen materials; it wafts throughout the winding Barkhor area. The culmination of the smell of incense, the sights, sounds of chanting pilgrims, and the kiss of the dry mountain air completely enveloped me in a sensory experience like none that had touched me before. I remember typing an email that described what I was experiencing as foreign beyond anything I could have ever imagined. Witnessing the diversity of human life is perplexing and eye opening. Not only do you gain an appreciation for other cultures but also for your own, a break from the every day grind gives you the opportunity to realize that where you come from is a unique and a special part of the world.

Sonam and I became fast friends as he guided me through some of Tibet’s most important historical and religious sites. It was only my first visit and looking back I learned loads. Still today, I’m deciphering my recollections, notes on conversations with Sonam, or reading books and articles. The second time around, things really began to make more sense but it became clear that what I’m yet to learn and understand would fill volumes. Although I still strive to dig deeper into Tibet’s fascinating culture and history, it doesn’t take an expert to be profoundly impacted. Up until then, I felt that human’s existence on earth was seemingly pointless. It seemed to me that in the face of a universe whose vastness is beyond comprehension, human aren’t even as significant as a drop of water is to an entire ocean. But seeing people so dedicated to beliefs that have been passed down over thousands of years made me reevaluate my how I felt. Walking where the Dalai Lamas walked and looking upon the towering Stupas where their remains lay, witnessing monks and pilgrims chanting their prayers as they light incense in offering to Gods represented by ornate statues touched my heart and changed my outlook on life in a manner that is beyond words. I felt a peace within my soul and life’s persistent anxieties seemed to have just melted away, maybe there is greater meaning to our existence?

With the fervor of such an epiphany buzzing within me we set out towards Mt. Everest Nature Preserve, our camp that night was set amongst stunning scenery. At an altitude of around 13,000 feet there was still green grass and a river flowing near our campsite. Peaks rose up around us in the not so far off in the distance and the clouds, not able to drift any higher, seemed close enough to touch just by reaching up. We set off the next morning, the lack of oxygen was exhausting but I kept pressing forward through the vast mountain expanse. Splitting headaches awaited me at each day’s camp; they were the toll paid to the mountains in exchange for the privilege to walk in their presence.

Life is a struggle up there. While we sat in our camp passersby would stop and ask for food. I particularly remember a weather beaten woman who approached our tent. We invited her in out of the cold dry wind to enjoy a hot meal. With Sonam acting as our translator, she said that she had five children, there was no school in her village that owned few animals, they were very poor and the soil was hardly fit for growing food. Living was a daily struggle for her family, I think back to her now and wish the best. As we trekked past villages, people would run out saying in very poor English “Haallo, money?” Sheppard spend a lonely summer with grazing yaks and sheep in mountain pastures, living out of tents or roofless stone enclosures.

One day on the trek Sonam admitted, “At home I sometimes feel very poor and sad because I see my neighbors with nicer houses and their own car, but when I come out here I feel like the richest man in the world.”

How true I thought. The poverty and hardship in contrast to the privileged life I enjoy back in The States wrenched my heart. At times it even brought tears to my eyes. One cannot help but feel empathy for these kind people who fight the elements day in and day out just to barely survive. Sonam embodies the caring and charitable attributes of Tibetan culture. Even though he does not have much money, he will always buy little trinkets or prayer flags from wandering vendors. Once he bought me some dried yak cheese, strung on a piece of string like a necklace, from an older person sitting outside a restaurant. While his words taught me a lot, his actions taught me even more. Maybe he could have used the money to buy lunch or a pack of cigarettes, but he knew it would do more good in the hands of those that are much less fortunate than he is.

Our last camp was at Rongbuk Monastery; sitting at over 18,000 feet it is the highest monastery in the world. The air was cold, wind blew constantly, and clouds obscured the prize directly ahead, Mt. Everest. Mountains have a special place in my heart; their majestic allure serves as a constant reminder of how fragile the human race really is in comparison to the mighty forces of nature. As night fell, stars blanketed the sky shimmering more brightly, clearly, and in greater number than I previously thought possible. There was even the occasional blazing streak of a meteor. In the morning I woke early to Everest in all its monstrous glory. It was late May, the perfect time of year and hardly a cloud, save a few tiny wisps, obscured the mountain. Some camp out for days and days never to see it break through the clouds. Transfixed, we made our final way up to base camp thus ending our journey. I distinctly remember gazing up in awe as I took photos. We rested there for awhile before turning around and trekking a few kilometers to Rongbuk. I took one last look as we pulled away burning the image into my mind, vowing my return to pay homage to mighty mountain that sits on the roof of our planet Earth.

Day Ten: The End Monday, May 25th, 2009

Today we left the majority of our gear behind and covered 87 miles returning to Londonderry. This put the trip total over 400 miles. We started pedaling before 9am and just barely made it before the sun set. Once, we stopped for Lunch and then later we were forced into an unlikely North Quincy diner by a severe afternoon thunderstorm. As usual, we found people inside who were welcoming and interested in the trip.

Searching for the shortest route home we traveled through Boston and Cambridge. There is a sharp contrast for the cyclist between the two. After dodging cars through Boston, Cambridge provides many designated bike lanes. These are the only dedicated lanes we’ve seen on regular roadways the entire trip. More, please!

Rolling back into my development as if it were any other Sunday evening ride it is still hard to believe the distance we’ve covered! Until next time…

Day Eight: Reprieve Saturday, May 23rd, 2009

We are now hanging out at Miles Standish on Charge Pond for a couple days camping with friends. The plan is to do the entire trip back home on Sunday. After some rest, that shouldn’t be much worse than some of the long days we’vw already had and we won’t need to bike anymore afterwards!

Yesterday, a dirt road that we had followed for a mile ended in a bush about a mile from where it was supposed to meet up with the park road. Isaac wanted to persue a scraggly path into the woods from that point, but I had to insist it was too uncertain. It took us many extra miles including miles of dirt road and directions from skeptical locals to get us around to the park entrance. By the time we did, it was after dark and the bugs in the park woods were so thick that it was impossible to open one’s mouth while ridign without catching a fly. :x. Similarly, we had to wear our sunglasses into the night to protect our eyes from insects. We setup and climbed into our hammocks as fast as we could.

Today, we biked out of the park to a nearby town to do laundry and have some lunch. Our trip mileage now exceeds 300miles and will approach 400 by the time of our return.

Keeping my phone charged has continued to be a challenge. After Thursday in the Sun, my solar charger had enough juice to charge my phone an extra 25% and that got us through the day. I think some new techniques for positioning the charger on my bike might help its efficiency. It doesn’t really make sense to me that 10 hours in 80-90 degree sunshine can’t provide a little more energy.

We have been noticing that people are interested in what we are doing in ways we didn’t expect. Isaac walked into a Dunkin’ Donuts that we had never been in before and was immediately identified as a Fernandez brother on a bike trip returning from Provincetown before anyone had a chance to see his jersey. We think the woman might have seen us at another Dunkin’ Donuts earlier in the trip. Either way, at least once a day we run into someone who wants to ask us about what we are doing, ask about our gear, or tell us stories of personal biking experiences. Some people just ask for clarification in disbelief and others seem to want to come along! We haven’t yet figured out how to make this public interest work for us, but we’ve got plenty of time on our bikes to dream it up.

Day Seven: Detours Thursday, May 21st, 2009

Today we had trouble following Google into Myles Standish state park the back way and we had to go all the way around. We made it though, with a daily total of over 70 miles. My phone battery is low, so I’ll have to keep it short today. More soon!

Day Six: Homeward Bound Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

Powered by hand delivered homemade treats we turned our backs on Race Point and started wheeling home this morning. We were rewarded today with what will probably be the best riding on the trip as we worked southward taking the scenic route along shores and through protected land. Personally, I also rewarded myself with the creation of a new culinary delight by topping peanut butter cookies with extra peanut butter. :)

It was a 35ish mile day that we ended at Nickerson State Park. This park is convienently located right on the Cape Cod rail trail! There’s been much renovation to facilities here in the last few years and it is a very enjoyable place to stay. It’s nice to be sleeping out in the fresh air again and our hammocks have drawn some interested comments. This is the most publically displayed campsite we’ve had yet. We arrived early and were hoping to find some local social life, but we’re told there is none. Interestingly, locals seem to expect that they will be overrun this weekend and that it will be crazy from there out. Instead, we wet our feet in the lake that is adjacent to our campsite and had dinner at a nearby fish joint.

Keep the sun coming!

Day Five: Visitation Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

Today we were met in by our father for an afternoon of exploring the town. After Monday afternoon’s exposure to the Cape’s depressing tourism underbelly in Truro, experiencing the central culture and attractions of P-town has been refreshing. It has an authentic culture with the geography of Bar Harbor and the expressive freedom of Woodstock. There is also a unique history of whaling port turned artist village. We are fortunate that tourism season hasn’t yet arrived in force and some of the day-to-day experience here is still visible.

We spent the morning catching up on sleep, cleaning our bikes, and doing our laundry. After days of intermittant rain, there was plenty of accumulated sand, and we needed to replace lost chain lube. I made some experimental front derailer adjustments to ease upshifting that may leave me fiddling for the rest of the trip. The hotel we are staying at did not have an established laundry facility, so we improvised with the use of the bath tub and the room heater. :)

After a viewing of the latest Star Trek movie, we finished the day with dinner at a little tavern identified only as “The Pig”. Again, I enjoyed absorbing the unfamiliar community. It reminded me of the motivation to seek out new digs at home!

Today’s cycling odometer is at 0, which is much needed rest. Tomorrow, we are acclelerating the itinerary and going straight to Nickerson. This will give us an extra rest day on our return. We will add a few miles to experience a little scenic town and seashore riding. Finally, we are expecting a sunny day!

Day Four: Provincetown Monday, May 18th, 2009

With a daily odometer at the bell of 70.5, including a masochistic evening trip to the grocery store, and the overall trip odometer at 187, we have come to rest in the densely developed town of Providence, MA. Today was a thorough test with windy 50 degree conditions and intermittant rain that started with a three mile effort in the wrong direction. Despite rolling out of our campsite at 7:30am in an attept to flee the raining worms, we didn’t see the Provincetown line until about 3:00pm. We were greeted by cool, but clear skies and are looking forward to fairer conditions tomorrow.

The ride today along parts of rural route 6A through cape towns and 22 miles of the dead flat Cape Cod Rail Trail was the best of Cape Cod charm. We missed some of the beach trails in favor of the shortest route. I hope the sun stays to allow us to enjoy them on the return trip.

Conversely, prodigal tourism development in shorefront just south of Provincetown is depressing and service in that area is downright unfriendly. We covered ten miles where every convienience store refused public access to the restroom and every foot of shoreline was strip motels and cottages for rent. At present, it is a whistling tumbleweed ghost town, waiting ominously for the influx of summer visitors. Happily, Provincetown center is a much more authentic experience. We were happy to find a double width bike rack at the local Shop ‘n Stop that was packed with other cycles. :) I look forward to exporing more and resting tired bodies over the next couple days.

Day Three: Plague of Silkworms Sunday, May 17th, 2009

We had a shorter day today. My odometer ended the day at 33.7mi. The trip odometer is at about 115mi. There was plenty of excitement though. The climax of the day, near the end of our travels, was walking our bikes over the Sagamore bridge into Cape Cod. It’s an inspiring bridge spanning the canal with a jungle gym of steel and a signs displaying it’s proud heretage as a 1933-1935 public works project. Now, a generation later, it supports highway traffic at rates of 100 cars/minute and the only passage for the diligent bicyclist is a minimum width sidewalk on the northern side of the bridge. A concurrant encounter to that of the landmark was the passing of a heavily bearded man who is the only cyclist we have seen with anything near our amount of load. In fact, he was carrying twice the bike luggage we each have! It would have been interesting to chat, but the traffic on the bridge is so loud one can bearly hear themselves.

Although our distance today was relatively modest, we are getting tired and sore. I think our bodies are using as much energy moving the bicycle as they are repairing tired muscles. As a result, it’s hard to eat enough. Today, I ate:

  • 2.5 Kashi GoLean Bars
  • Handful of Peanuts
  • Half a large Antipasto Salad
  • 2 Footlong Italian Sandwiches
  • Half of a large frosted sugar cookie
  • Half a Broiled Seafood Combination Platter

and the best I can say for my digestive state is “satisfied”. I wouldn’t turn down a second dessert. :)

We are now settled in Shawme-Crowell state forest. We are experts at setting up camp and both hammocks go up in minutes. It is very quiet here, as the camping season clearly isn’t going yet. Everything would be great except there is some kind of small silk spinning tree worm that is attacking the campsite. Quite literally, they are falling from the sky by lowering themselves down from tree branches. A stroll across the campsite guarantees you at least one unwanted passanger. Either we are running into them or they are attracted to us because there are many more on us that on any inanimate objects. Luckily, we feel safe elevated and enclosed in the hammocks.

There’s only one day of riding left to Provincetown, but it’s going to be a challenge. Sore and tired we must complete nearly 60 miles to reach our destination. The consolation lies in the day we get off of riding afterwards and the comfy hotel bed we get Monday night. We are also hoping that motorist free bike paths here on the cape will smooth tomorrow’s journey.

Hammocks 2, Rain Storms 0 Sunday, May 17th, 2009

Somehow, the rain forecast for today has improved and we are humid, but dry this morning. Last night it rained steadily for some time and the wind whipped my rain fly around like a dust mite in a box fan and yet the only water in my hammock was from a leaky water bottle! This is the second time we’ve experienced rain in the hammocks since we bought them. When you’re in the hammock, there’s a pretty good view out the sides where you would expect the rain to blow in, but the fly is wide enough that this doesn’t happen as long as all your knots hold.

The KOA is a pretty cushy campground and I have the luxury of charging my phone right now in the laundry room. There is a pool, a playground, a general store, and we’ve been told by other campers that they have WiFi on site. However, our campsite was sufficiently wooded for the hammocks and the grounds quieted down nicely at night.

Off to the next task of the morning: finding some quarters to run the dryer and take the damp out of our clothes.

Day Two: Calm before the storm Saturday, May 16th, 2009

Today went very smoothly. :) We saw the first road sign indicating “Cape Cod” and we crossed paths with a small private college graduation. There were no wrong turns, no injuries, and no significant mechanical problems and we arrived at the Boston/Cape Cod KOA after 40.4 miles of pedaling. Our hammocks went up in minutes. Then, we got cleaned up and made dinner of tuna fish, ham, crackers, from the camp store. Some fellow campers let us use their can opener to extract the tuna.

I’m a bit disappointed in my solar charger we rode in good sun for most of the daytoday and it’s only 20% charged. We may have to stop at a coffee shop for an hour tomorrow just to charge the phone.

Speaking of tomorrow, a coffee shop will probably sound pretty good then, because the forecast for the next 24 hours is solid rain. We’ve arranged our campsite to survive a night of rain, but packing up in morning rain doesn’t sound like much fun :/ I’m just hoping that our clothes which we rinsed out this evening dry out in time for our tomorrow’s start.

First Day Saturday, May 16th, 2009

Off to a roaring start, we logged about 40 miles and were greeted by Debbie’s hospitality in Newton, MA. Having our headlamps and charger ready paid off as the sun went down although it may be the only time we use them this trip! Isaac stopped his bike and took some video of us night riding. It came out good except that he did the stopping of the bike and the video in the wrong order.

I’m very happy with the way our gear packed up and our bikes are running smoothly. I have some hesitations that we are highly dependant on this little phone. Tomorrow I’ll have my eye out for a good map store.

Dave Bonta: Ten Culinary Poetry Videos

As part of a post at Via Negativa introducing a new series called Poets in the Kitchen, I started looking for some cooking-related videopoems and poetry films to include. I soon had way too many, so I thought I’d gather them here instead for this occasional “top ten” feature. As I say at VN, the contrast between the abstract—some would say spiritual—nature of writing and the essential corporeality of preparing and consuming food is fascinating. Eating is a root metaphor in probably every language, one of the fundamental ways in which we think about our relationship to the cosmos.

How to Make a Crab Cake
(poet: January Gill O’Neil)
Kevin Carey, 2010

This performance-style videopoem, produced to promote O’Neil’s debut poetry collection Underlife, serves as a good introduction to one of the most common approaches to culinary poetry: poet as faux cooking-show host.

An Ode to Frybread
(poet: Melanie Fey)
Trevino L. Brings Plenty/Iktomi Films, 2015

What we eat is linked figuratively as well as literally to who we are. Again, the poet is in the kitchen, this time to ponder questions of identity and belonging.

(poet: Fiona Tinwei Lam)
Fiona Tinwei Lam, 2015

Illustrative poetry animations often feel superfluous, but perhaps because the poet herself was the director here, this animation (by Toni Zhang and Claire Stewart) works for me. It’s as if Lam is sketching out ideas in her head. And that contrast I mentioned between abstraction and corporeality may be part of it, too, the animation reinforcing the abstract nature of poetry and storytelling.

The Body Show: How to Boil an Egg
(poet: Nora Robertson)
Jason Bahling, 2010

Another family story centered on eggs, but there the resemblance with Omelet ends. Robertson plays the deranged host of a kitschy 60s cooking show for housewives. “The simple act of boiling an egg forces her to publicly contemplate a succession of images from the vaginal opening of a hen, to slaves working in salt mines, to the virgin-devouring snake god of Ghana. The seemingly non-sequitur imagery comes together as she remembers the horror and heartbreak of her grandmother being forced to assemble hundreds of deviled eggs for a Hollywood dinner party.”

Sogni Culinari
(poem: Pedro Mercado)
Clarissa Duque, 2015

Let’s venture deeper into surreal territory with this film based on a poem in Spanish translated into Italian and here subtitled in English. One great advantage food has over poetry is that (aside from food allergies and differences in intestinal microbiomes) it doesn’t require translation. Duque told an interviewer, “I learned when I was still a child how every single ingredient of a dish is like a magic recipe, itself capable of activating every human sense and evoking all kinds of sensations in the human body.”

Arroz Con Habichuelas
(poet: Caridad De La Luz AKA La Bruja)
Advocate of Wordz, 2015

This is more of a music video than a poetry video, but in the spoken word community, the line between poetry and music is regularly breached. Here, a prominent spoken-word poet’s entertaining shout-out to a favorite dish and marker of ethnic identity suggests that our identities are simultaneously more mutable and more inescapable than we might like to think.

Render, Render
(poet: Thomas Lux)
Angella Kassube/Motionpoems, 2011

This is one of two films (here’s the other) that Motionpoems produced with Lux’s poem and reading, but as with Omelet, I think the abstract nature of animation makes for an especially effective contrast with the contents of the poem—which, to take things to another level, uses culinary language to talk about poetry.

Little Theatres: Homage to the Mineral of Cabbage
(poet: Erín Moure)
Stephanie Dudley, 2011

Did I mention taking things to another level? This masterpiece of stop-motion film incorporates the English translation of a poem in Galician, “Homenaxe ao mineral do repolo.” According to the film’s website, it is “the second in a series of six by Erín in her award-winning book, Little Theatres. Each poem is an homage to a simple, humble food, such as potatoes, onions, and cabbage. The poems examine our relationship to food, and draw new insights to how these basic foods relate to life, as well as how we relate to each other. […] The film Little Theatres is an interpretation of what Little Theatres are. It is an exploration of layers: layers of space, and layers of words, both spoken and written. The exploration begins and ends with a simple cabbage.”

Maize Dog
(poet: Trevino L. Brings Plenty)
Trevino L. Brings Plenty/Iktomi Films, 2013

One last return to the kitchen for a meditation on ethnic foodways and identity, now with a thoroughly satirical bent. The poet is present only in the soundtrack, his place in the kitchen taken by an actress (Eva Williams) and the culinary arts reduced to their most basic, industrial form: the heating and consumption of processed food.

Inimi/The Room
(poet: Jessie Kleeman)
Marc Neys (Swoon), 2015

A contemporary Greenlandic poet achieves the ultimate imaginative identity with food. Horrifying or liberating? Carnal or spiritual? Maybe all of the above.

Do you have a “top ten” list of poetry videos you’d like to share? Get in touch.

Dave is the founder of Moving Poems, and posts videos for his own poems (along with lots of other stuff) at Via Negativa. Here's a bio.

In some rare case we need override some css rules for Ext in specific situation where css cannot be change,then ... what?
 Then you use one line of code.

However, remember that in general is bad practice to update css on the fly because all css rules should be stored css file.

updateRule( String/Array selector, String property, String value ) : Boolean

property : String
The css property
value : String
The new value for the property

true If a rule was found and updated

Attn: We The People

Dear We The People,

On behalf of Defend Our Freedoms Foundation, I would like you to consider a small donation. Your contributions makes it possible for us to defend our Constitution.

Defend Our Freedoms Foundation was born from the need to preserve our unalienable rights and our freedom guaranteed to us. Our founder, Dr. Orly Taitz, had first hand experiences under a totalitarian Communist regime. Preventing this from happening to the United States is only possible because of support and contributions from people like you.

Within a few days, Dr. Taitz will be filing on behalf of the military. Also, Dr. Taitz will be resubmitting a Certiorari to Justice Scalia. The cost of legal actions created the need to collect donations.

Once again thank you for any help you can lend. We hope for your continued support in the future.

Home Safety for Seniors

Preventing Falls and Fractures

How do you protect your aging loved ones from slips, falls and fractures?

Hiring a 24 hour a day home health care aide is expensive and impractical for many families struggling to care for an elder. But a simple fall can be devastating to the health and well-being of older adults. Each year thousands of elderly people fall and break or fracture a bone. A broken bone may not pose a health risk to most people it can be a start to many more serious health problems for the elderly.

What Causes Falls in Seniors?

As we get older our eyesight, hearing, reflexes, and muscles weaken. Medical conditions, like diabetes, heart disease and thyroid conditions can affect your balance. Some prescription medicines include a side effect of dizziness.

Osteoporosis makes bones weak and more likely to break. In some cases a bone may break and cause a fall. Don’t think of osteoporosis as something only women suffer from; plenty of older men lose bone mass and strength too.

Here’s how you can help prevent falling injuries.

Find out if you’re at risk by getting your bone density checked. Your doctor may prescribe supplements and other treatments to strengthen your bones.

A good exercise program will improve your strength, balance and flexibility. By maintaining an active lifestyle, exercising regularly and eating a balanced diet you can reduce your chances of falling.

Get your eyesight and hearing check. Keeping your senses sharp can help you avoid accidents. If you need glasses or a hearing aid, use them.

Be aware of the potential side effects of any your prescriptions. Be careful when you start a new medication. If you experience dizziness or drowsiness let your doctor know.

If you do have a fall, tell your doctor even if you don’t feel injured.

Sleep. Don’t push yourself if you’re tired. When you’re tired you are more likely to lose your balance or faint. Get plenty of rest.

Cut down on alcohol. As we age our bodies react differently to alcohol. Small amounts may cause dizziness, especially if combined with certain prescription medicines.

Don’t stand up too fast after resting or eating. Jumping up quickly may cause a very sudden drop in blood pressure and make you faint.

Walking sticks, canes and walkers will greatly reduce your chances of falling. Get in the habit of using them.

Avoid slick surfaces. Many older adults are seriously injured walking on recently mopped floors and icy driveways. Don’t take chances.

The right shoes can save your neck. Wear shoes or sneakers with good grips. Avoid shoes with smooth soles. Just wearing socks can lead to dangerous falls on tile or polished floors.

Properly installed carpeting can reduce slips and lessen the impacts of falls. Wall to wall carpeting is safer than throw rugs.

Invest in a good home monitoring system in case you do need medical assistance. A broken leg or hip may make reaching a telephone impossible. A quality home medical emergency alert system can save your life. Some monitoring systems have a fall detection feature which sends an alarm if the monitoring device drops. This is important since people who fall may be unconscious and unable to seek assistance.

Leaf Bug + Me

One day I went to my grand-parents house and my cousins were there. We played, had lunch, and then I started watching the story of the 2 towers on T.V. Then, 1 of my cousins rushed into the room yelling " Look, we found a leaf bug!!!!!" I looked, and, sure enough, there was a leaf bug. I told my cousins to wait while I went to look at the recycle bin for a tupperware. I found 1 and put the leaf bug inside. And we decided to give it to someone we knew.

COVID-19, a global pandemic that affected millions worldwide, brought upon an inevitable demand for change. It ranges from how businesses operate to skyrocketing need for hygienic / protective gears or the so called ‘The New Normal’.

The New Normal calls for various precautionary measures such as physical distancing, hand washing and sanitizing as well as the use of various protective gears to avoid contracting the virus.

With the increased demand for these gears, they are often unavailable and sometimes, the pricing is really steep.

Chinese businessman brings China, Hungary closer in battle against COVID-19

(People's Daily Online)    17:01, May 13, 2020

A Chinese businessman in Hungary, Li Yi (alias), has teamed up with his friends to fight the COVID-19 outbreak, bringing China and the European country closer as they do so.

Li arrived in Hungary after much struggle from southeast China’s Fujian province when he was 18. After starting out as a street vendor, the 38-year-old man is now a successful businessman, selling containers of goods to his motherland.

In the early morning of Jan.23 local time, when he heard the news that all channels of departure in Wuhan, epicenter of the COVID-19 outbreak in China, were closed, he felt that he had to do something.

He then set up a temporary chat group on social media, bringing together 26 members who had not known each other before but who shared concerns over their compatriots back home.

Since then, Li and his friends have been busy gathering donations, purchasing medical supplies, and sending them to their motherland.

Li recalled that a friend living in Argentina asked him to purchase some medical supplies and send them to China, transferring 30,000 yuan to him for the task.

One entrepreneur, who had already arranged for someone to send daily necessities to hospitals in urgent need in Wuhan, asked Li to purchase 3,000 protective goggles and donate them to hospitals in the city.

"Would you like to donate the money for our skiing trip to medical workers in Wuhan's hospitals to buy personal protective equipment?" Li asked his son. When he agreed, they cancelled their skiing trip to Austria.

But it was the actions of one friend from Beijing that moved the businessman the most. The man donated money to Wuhan even though he had to pay massive medical bills for his mother, who was hospitalized with cancer.

In addition to donating money, some of his friends in Vienna also took on the heaviest responsibility of purchasing medical supplies, according to Li.

“When we knew that there were supplies in cities 300km away, my enthusiastic assistant, a Hungarian in his 40s, volunteered to bring the supplies there, like his own country was experiencing the crisis,” the businessman noted.

Li was also very thankful for the 16 Chinese tourists who volunteered to bring anti-virus supplies back to China by plane despite the transportation difficulties involved. Compatriots from airlines, airport staff and even some foreigners at the airport also lent a helping hand.

“People from different countries are joining the fight against the virus with the greatest goodwill and trust,” Li said, calling for global cooperation to fight against the pandemic.

“I didn’t know the names of these tourists, and they didn’t know who had donated the supplies. But we all knew that we had to help our motherland,” he added.

“I was really happy when Wuhan lifted its lockdown, but what I didn’t expect was for the virus to spread to Hungary,” the businessman said.

When Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban confirmed the country’s first two cases of coronavirus on March 4, Li and his friends decided to donate goggles to the hospital where the two patients had been admitted as soon as they could. His assistant drove to send supplies to the hospital, and said he was proud to donate supplies to his own country on behalf of a Chinese friend.

Later, they also donated protective masks and hand sanitizer to a number of organizations and three schools in Budapest.

On top of that, overseas Chinese organizations in Hungary purchased medical supplies from China and sent them to local schools, nursing homes, hospitals and government agencies.

“Hungary is our second home, and we couldn’t just stand idly by as it was hit by the virus,” Li said.

By April 5, 21 chartered planes carrying anti-pandemic supplies from China had landed in Hungary, demonstrating China's kindness to the European country, he said, adding that he was impressed when Hungarian Prime Minister underlined that a friend in need is a friend indeed, and expressed gratitude to China for its assistance.

When the COVID-19 outbreak brought Budapest to a temporary standstill, Li's business almost ground to a halt. However, Li still promised to pay is assistant’s wages for the next few months so he could repay his housing loan, which touched the Hungarian deeply.

When Hungary announced the second phase of easing of restrictions on May 4, which allowed the terraces of restaurants and cafes to open, the businessman said he recalled the situation in Wuhan several months ago.

Thanks to rigorous and effective measures, including medical staff across the country rushing to assist the city, and closed-off management of communities and villages, life gradually returned to normal in the city, Li said, adding that China’s nationwide anti-virus efforts made him realize that a strong motherland means all overseas Chinese can receive strong support.

He expects that Hungary will soon win the fight against the pandemic, just like Wuhan did, so that he can soon visit the city together with his son.

Success in stock speculation depends upon a few things that are very simple.

If you know what to buy, when to buy, and when to sell, and will act in accordance with that knowledge, your success is assured. You may think it is impossible to know these things, but it is not so difficult as it is supposed to be.

Many people buy stocks at the wrong time, and most of those who do buy them at the right time, buy the wrong stocks. Right now (early in April, 1922) is buying time in the stock market, and it is possible that this buying time may continue—with some interruptions—for another year or two, or even longer.

It is more difficult, however, to tell you WHAT stocks to buy. First of all, we advise you against buying stocks that are put up to high prices by manipulation. Of course, if you get in one of those stocks right and get out right, your profits are very large, but you take a great risk, and those who win once or twice by this method are almost sure to lose everything sooner or later in an effort to do the same thing again. Your chances are not much better than if you gambled at Monte Carlo. The chances in buying manipulated stocks are invariably against the outsider.

There always is so much publicity about these very active speculative stocks that the public is attracted towards them. Newspapers and brokers' market letters give altogether too much space to them. Such stocks sell far too high, and when the break comes, it brings ruinous losses to many people.

On the other hand, by following a conservative course, you really have a chance to make large profits with a minimum risk. We are giving below sixteen stocks that we recommended in our Advisory Letter of February 14th, 1922, with the approximate prices of them then and the approximate prices on March 31st. In arriving at these prices, we took the closing prices on February 13th and on March 31st, and omitted the fractions. We recommended only sixteen stocks on that date, and you will see that every one of them made substantial gains.

Stock Approximate
Feb. 14, 1922
Mar. 31, 1922
C. R. I. & P. pfd (6) 75 79 4
C. R. I. & P. pfd (7) 88 93 5
New York Central 76 88 12
Pacific Gas & Electric 64 68 4
Consolidated Gas 90 109 19
American Telephone & Telegraph 118 121 3
General Motors Deb. (6) 70 78 8
General Motors Deb. (7) 81 91 10
U. S. Steel 87 95 8
Dome Mines 23 26 3
Laclede Gas 50 63 13
Missouri Pacific Pfd 48 54 6
C. R. I. & P. Common 33 40 7
Am. Smel. & Refining 45 53 8
Anaconda 47 51 4
Erie Common 10 11 1
Total 1005 1120 115

Let us suppose you bought ten shares of each of these stocks on February 14th. They would have cost you $10,050. We recommended 30% margin on the first ten, all of which were dividend payers; and 50% margin on the last six, because they were more speculative and would have been more affected by a reaction in the market. To buy ten shares of each on that margin basis would have required a little less than $3,500, but let us suppose you put up $3,500. After allowing for buying and selling commissions and interest on the balance of $6,550, but crediting you with dividends paid, your profit would be about 32% or at the rate of about 250% per annum.

Of course, we do not claim that by following the conservative course we advise, you always will make such large profits, although you might do just as well as that if you took advantage of some of the opportunities so frequently to be found in the market; but keen discrimination in what you buy always is necessary. However, let us suppose you made annual profits of one-fifth the above amount, or 50%, which is easily possible without taking the risks that are usually taken in stock speculating. If you invested $1000 and made 50% profit per annum, reinvesting your profit at the same rate each year for twenty years, you would have more than THREE MILLION DOLLARS.

When there is a possibility of making such enormous profits as that by following careful methods, surely there is no argument in favor of taking the extreme risks that people do take in buying the highly speculative stocks, the prices of which are put up for the purpose of unloading them on the public. Ten of the stocks we selected in the above list were dividend payers, and while the other six were not, they were considered worth much more than their market prices, and the list as a whole was conceded by conservative people as a safe one to buy.

Very frequently we are able to recommend a list of stocks that we believe will yield equally large profits, but the stocks you should buy are not the ones that are the most active nor the ones that are mentioned most frequently in the financial news and brokers' market letters. The stocks that most people buy are usually the very stocks that should be left alone. The stocks you should buy are usually the ones you hear very little about.

There is only one SAFE way to speculate, and that is to be guided by a knowledge of the fundamental conditions of each stock and also of the industries they represent. There are several large organizations giving information of this kind, and those who have been guided by the fundamental statistics issued by them, almost invariably have made money in stock speculating. The value of that kind of service has been thoroughly demonstrated beyond any question. However, a subscription for the service of most of these organizations costs more than the average person can afford to pay. Usually it is anywhere from $100 to $1,000 a year.

We are giving a service for the purpose of guiding our clients to successful speculation for a fee of only $25 a year, $15 for six months, or $10 for three months. For this fee we tell you what stocks to buy, when to buy, and when to sell. We send you our recommendations at least twice a month, but send you additional Advisory Letters and lists oftener if conditions make it necessary. You also have the privilege of unlimited personal correspondence regarding your market problems. The cost of our Service is very small, compared with what other reliable organizations charge.

Our Service is based on the principles expounded in this book. We try to select stocks having the greatest possibilities of profit with minimum risk, and the sample of our Service given in this chapter is proof of our success.

MO Rally for Ethanol Mandate

Cindy Zimmerman

MCGA Rally MCGA Rally 2Here are some pictures from the “Energy Independence Rally” yesterday at the Missouri State Capitol. According to the Missouri Corn Growers Association press releaseOver two hundred farmers and ethanol advocates met at the Missouri State Capitol (Tuesday) to show their support for increased energy independence and the Missouri Renewable Fuel Standard (MoRFS), legislation that would require nearly all the gasoline sold in the state contain 10 percent ethanol. It was a nice crowd and I would say that estimate is just about right. The event started at the Missouri Farm Bureau Building and ended in the halls of the capitol. The large crowd of farmers, ethanol plant members, business officials, community leaders, FFA students and others traveled to Jefferson City, Mo., to meet with lawmakers and push for passage of the statewide ethanol standard.
Once passed, Missouri will join Minnesota, Montana and Hawaii to become the fourth state in the nation to establish a statewide renewable fuel standard. Ethanol legislation is also currently pending in Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Wisconsin and most recently, Idaho.
Thanks to Becky Grisham with MCGA for the pictures. I really need to start carrying a camera with me in my car like my husband does!

Ardilea Cresent Clonskeagh 26 Houses

O’Malley Construction appointed energy floor screeds for the supply and installation of floor screeds to our luxury development in, Ardilea Crescent, Clonskeagh. One of the main reasons for the appointment, was the professionalism and knowledge of the high standards of work & safety, expected within all our developments. Energy floor screed were appointed to install the floor screeds & build up, to 26Nr housing units, with the expectance to complete all works on the 74 units for when the phases are released. Their efficiency and quick turnaround of the works, was not the only aspect for our satisfaction with their works, but their accommodation, to other trades and last minute changes and delays speaks volumes on their management & team. I would have no issues in recommending energy floor screeds to carry out similar works on a larger or smaller scale.
