Prayer before birth - a poem by Louis MacNeice - Ppt - Literary tribute by S....
The poem "Prayer Before Birth" is written from the perspective of an unborn child pleading with God for protection from harm. Over the course of the cascading lines, the persona makes requests to be heard, consoled of fears, and provided the simple joys of nature. The child seeks forgiveness for future sins not yet committed and requests preparation for roles to be played in life when faced with opposition. In the final lines, the child asks God to imbue strength against those who would degrade humanity and turn people into automatons. The ultimate plea is to not let others make the child rigid or dissipate its entirety.
Half past two - U.A. Fanthorpe
The poem describes a young boy who is detained at school for an unknown offense. As he does not yet know how to tell time, he becomes lost in daydreams while waiting for the teacher to dismiss him. When the teacher finally remembers the boy, she hurriedly sends him home. Though returned to the constraints of time, the boy never forgets the sense of freedom he experienced when removed from time's boundaries in the classroom.
Poem at 39
This document provides an analysis of the poem "Poem at Thirty-Nine" by Alice Walker. It summarizes the structure, themes, language, and key elements of the poem. The structure uses free verse and enjambment to emulate train of thought. The main themes are remembrance of Walker's father and life/death. Walker expresses regret over lost time with her father but also pride in their similarities. She finds comfort in remembering him through similarities in cooking and life lessons.
Prayer Before Birth
The poem is a prayer spoken by an unborn child, pleading for protection from the horrors of the contemporary world. In eight stanzas, the child asks to be sheltered from frightening creatures, fears being manipulated or coerced by lies and drugs, and requests access to nature's beauty. The child asks forgiveness for future sins committed under the world's influence and requests guidance to navigate life's difficulties. Most importantly, the child seeks protection from tyrants who would destroy its humanity and turn it into a lifeless machine, concluding it would prefer abortion to such a fate.
Eng half-past two
This poem describes a young boy's experience of being detained at school for an unknown infraction until "half-past two", a unit of time he does not understand. The first stanza establishes the setting and the boy's punishment. The second stanza shows the teacher did not teach the boy how to tell time. The final stanzas describe how, lost in the passage of an unknowable amount of time, the boy finds escape and wonder until the teacher remembers and releases him just in time for tea.

Hide and Seek
This poem describes a game of hide and seek from the perspective of the hiding child. In the tool shed, the child hides among sacks that smell like the seaside, feeling both excitement at not being found but also discomfort from the cold floor. As the seekers get closer, whispering at the door, the child remains perfectly still. Though the child believes they have won once emerging victorious from the shed, they find themselves alone in the darkening garden with no friends to be found, left with only isolation.
A Mother in a Refugee Camp
The poem depicts a mother in a refugee camp tenderly caring for her sick son, who is slowly dying. Despite the despairing conditions around her with other mothers who have "long ceased to care", she still holds onto a faint smile and memory of motherly pride while precisely combing his thin, rust-colored hair, in a final act of love before his impending death like "putting flowers on a tiny grave".
Do not go gentle into that good night
The poem "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night" by Dylan Thomas uses the villanelle form to encourage old men not to accept death passively. Over five tercets and a concluding quatrain, the speaker urges the wise, good men, wild men, and grave men not to "go gentle" but to "rage, rage against the dying of the light." In the final stanza, the speaker directly addresses his own father, who is dying, pleading with him not to submit to death without defiance.
Piano by D.H. Lawrence analysis
This poem describes a man whose memory is transported back to his childhood by the soft singing of a woman. He recalls sitting under a piano as a child, watching his mother play and smile as she sang. Though he tries to prevent it, the "insidious mastery" of the song pulls him further back in time to memories of Sunday evenings spent in his cozy parlor, listening to hymns guided by the "tinkling piano." Overcome by nostalgia for his childhood, the man feels his adult identity washed away as he weeps like a child for the past.
Remember

The poem is written in Petrarchan sonnet form with an octave describing the speaker's request to be remembered after death, and a sestet where the speaker's tone changes and says it is better to forget and smile than remember and be sad. The document analyzes the tone, structure, and themes within the poem.
War photographer

Welfare
The document discusses the history and purpose of the US welfare system. It was created in the 1930s during the Great Depression to help low-income citizens. However, some began abusing the system in the 1970s by not working and having more children for increased benefits. In response, President Clinton signed welfare reform in the 1990s that gave states more control over welfare and aimed to provide short-term assistance to help people become self-sufficient.
The great depression
The Great Depression was caused by multiple factors including the 1929 stock market crash where stockholders lost over $40 billion, bank failures, reduced purchasing across the US and Europe, American economic policies in Europe, and drought conditions. It affected the entire world and lasted 3 years, leaving many homeless and unemployed with half of those still working getting reduced pay.

5th Power Grid Model Meet-up
It is with great pleasure that we extend to you an invitation to the 5th Power Grid Model Meet-up, scheduled for 6th June 2024. This event will adopt a hybrid format, allowing participants to join us either through an online Mircosoft Teams session or in person at TU/e located at Den Dolech 2, Eindhoven, Netherlands. The meet-up will be hosted by Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), a research university specializing in engineering science & technology.
Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data Warehouse
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
