DÉJAME que me deprima - Silvia Ortiz Escritora-poeta



DÉJAME que me deprima
que me arrope en la oscuridad
de los días en que se liquidan amapolas
en el temporal de los niños
Deja que me abrigue en la fortaleza de los vientos
que laceren más mi piel en la angustia
de tus pasos bajo el eco del mañana
Déjame alma de mi alma abrazar
al torrente clandestino de tu cuerpo
cuando llegue a casa niégate la despedida
Déjame debatir al horizonte baldío
en los tiestos de irreparable lodo
que conforma hoy mi casa
Déjame soñar en las celdillas de la tierra
en los pájaros ausentes por su canto
por temor al mar blasfemo de estos días
Deja amado mío que la luna
se mezcle en la nostalgia de segundos
que me entierre en el crespón de algún rosal
que me funda en el cálido
y presumido torrente de la lluvia
Déjame la tristeza no lastimes más su herida
ella quedó abierta cerca al templo donde
se cultivan las cuentas de un rosario en carne viva
Déjame mi cielo, mi amado amante
deja que me funda en el silencio de las sombras
sin tu aroma, sin tu forma yo no sé vivir
Deja que me sepulte en la nieve
mientras el sol se ausenta otra tarde más
Deja el llanto sobre el mundo en llamas
la escarcha de tu boca en la fragilidad
de mi cuerpo …en los aires que soporto
cerca al frío esquema de la piel herida
déjame amor…otros besos
que muerdan el delirio de tu nombre ...

SPLIT PERSONALITY - Dasharath Naik




SPLIT PERSONALITY
Wait for him , Destiny !
Simply flee not away so soon .
His cherished dreams aren't fulfilled yet
His passions still burning bright
His feels hasn't been felt within so far
The lighthouse showing the way though
Strangely enough he can't find the way
Innocence is crushed in broad day light
Crimes often go truly triumphant
Abortions practised much rampant
Free trafficking parade smartly
Money madness matters most
Supressing many righteous souls.
Children get killed before finding their body and name
Child abuse in the air shows our selfie
How inhuman and unfortunate !
Exploitation and tyranny on top priority
Virtues are ignored vices awarded
Talent rots in the dusty files
Everything is polluted so easily
And he gets hurt to be wounded severely
Humanity seems missing and wounded
His family his heart fails to recognise
His duty he doesn't know how to do
His salary he wishes to be credited on time
Corrupt he and he knows his tribe
He shares his time and money with them
He dreams big and achieves targets
Most magically by his shrewdness
Least bothering for the victims of circumstances
Ego he breathes and pride he posseses
Envy he reads and writes religiously
Change can never make him change
Though he needs changes many
How this earth be saved from disaster he wonders
As he goes to visit himself in the mirror
His reflection guides him to be chaste
Unlike his so called friends and fans
And he feels relaxed and relieved
*(c)Dasharath Naik

MEANINGLESSNESS OF ATTRACTIONS - JALESHWER JEANWALL



MEANINGLESSNESS OF ATTRACTIONS
A parrot would fly hearty and hale,
Over beautiful fields, vales and dales.
Once he saw a host of white flowers.
Enchanted by the sight dived for an hour,
To satisfy his hunger to his heart’s content.
Straight towards the field, he swiftly went.

But to his utmost despair,
Found cotton flowers with no one to care.
With nothing to eat, only a sight to cheat,
In summer scorching heat.
His beak to beat the cotton, so white but dry.
No sap, no sweet smell,
The scene looked like a burning hell.
Hungry and helpless,
Just tries something to gain,
To find some solace.
But all was in vain.
Only disappoint and bitter pain.
It happened for a few days.
Ultimately he found some other ways.
He learnt never to take a decision in haste.
Decided never his time anymore to waste,
In things that charm,
But are never so warm.
Our life is the same in some ways,
To the life of that parrot that portrays
Our meaningless search for pleasures
Ignoring the real treasures.
We keep on searching pastures new,
Look attractive and enticing to our view.
But alas !
Life seems tasteless and dry ,
Leaves us in the lurch, only to cry.
No sap do we find in these attractions.
Soon they become mere abstractions.
Then we weep over spilt milk so bitterly
That has no use to amuse our heart utterly.
Let’s never waste our life so precious,
In things that are not true and gracious.
Turn towards your eternal soul.
Then you will become sound and whole.
Seek the guidance of an enlightened one.
He will teach the defeated game to be won.

Heal The World - Parupudi Satyavenkatavinodkumar




 Heal The World
 

As I walk and walk and walk
I look at the setting sun before
And the broken clouds above
And the word Heel flashes in my mind
From What and From Where and Why
The Choices we made brought us here
The Choices others made are bare
Consequences are natural to follow
A moment of introspection was needed
Before the actions were paraded
And see where have we landed ourselves
A world that is bizarrely broken and in pain
Desires leading mankind to the brink
Wants pegging humanity to its selfishness
Men to men, women to women men to women
Differences insurmountable have come up
Nothing seems to be in order to breathe free
Bloodshed, atrocities, war, instabilities ruling
They roost at all corners of the world
Amid all these chaos the heart cries
The soul Whispers Heal the world
Through the ancient paths that born you
Through Love and compassion and care
Concern for the fellow beings in heart
Just for a second O Human stop and listen
To the ancient whispers within
That simply and lovingly is ready to guide
You away from all these unearthly
self-inflicted calamities and pains
Just Heal The World
In a vacuum with resonating echoes
I walk and walk and walk

The constant - Ade Caparas Manilah






Premise philosophical premise and arguments
“is God confused?”
“anger is taught handed drilled and infectious, it isn’t innate nor inherited but rather infused” _SamAda
the constant
sounds… hear heard hearing
foods… feed fed feeding
fashions… wear wore wearing
language… speak spoke speaking
attitudes… mimic mimed miming
my soul heart spirit
exposed days and nights
a virtual reality painted!
but why not love?
maps of dried tears
piled on my
landscape of thoughts
though i tried so hard
to let it flow
through my eyes
my pride refuses
a facade of synthetics
take the course!
years passed
dressed in all plasticities…
one day
gnarly ugliness
flows, a reigning lava
uncontrolled temper
devastating unselected spots
dead poison is my heart
i lost my soul!
now a terrorist
deserved to be
killed or loved?
understood or despised…
why am i to believe
i am God, His image
when
i am incapable of solution
i’m confused, am i God?

Mia dolce amica - Estela Soami


Mia dolce amica

Sei pioggia e sei sole
sei nuvole e tempesta
piccola e grande
vai lontano e poi torni
per strade sconosciute
Porti in te la luce del mattino
e il buio della notte
porti in te il calore del sole
e i sospiri della luna
Sei dolce frutto che attende
l’estate del cuore
sei foglia d’autunno
che soffice tocca il terreno
Sei pioggia e sei sole
sei pioggia che nutre
sei sole che scalda!

SOMETHING I LOOK AT-3 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY



SOMETHING I LOOK AT-3
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY
I search for it
In the lost paradise
In the solitary confinement of Taj
In the tears of Sahajahan
And in all
That is beautiful and scintillating
I search for it
in meadows and mountains
in poverty and affluence
in hopes and despair
It eludes my grasp
For it is a feeling
A feeling of completeness
One has after being
Completely becoming one's
Letting and forgetting the world around
A glimpse of it
One can have
After emptying oneself
When every beat of heart
Throbs for it
Every drop of blood
Flows for it
For the sake of it
One can live and die
For it is so fulfilling and enriching
Makes life a paradise on earth
To have it
One has to have
A pair of eyes
That only sees it
A loving heart
That only feels it
And a simple mind
That only reciprocates it.
Something
Everyone relishes
But few have it
For platonic love
Is hardly realised

This newly discovered icy world could be the key to finding Planet Nine Follow the breadcrumbs.


Scientists have announced the discovery of a new icy world on the fringes of the Solar System, and while this distant object is only very small, it could help us track down something that's meant to be much, much bigger: the hypothesised but as yet unconfirmed Planet Nine.
The new discovery – called L91 – is what's known as a Trans-Neptunian Object (TNO), meaning it's a small world that orbits the Sun beyond Neptune. And that extreme distance means it takes L91 an awfully long time to make its way around the Solar System.
Neptune is the most remote confirmed planet in our Solar System, orbiting the Sun at a distance of about 4.5 billion kilometres (2.8 billion miles). In scientific terms, that's around 30 astronomical units (AUs) – meaning 30 times the distance between Earth and the Sun.
But L91 casts an even wider arc. The closest it gets to the Sun is 50 AUs, but its elliptical orbit sees it eventually trek as far away as 1,430 AUs from the Sun, before inching back inwards again.
"It's right at the limit of what we can detect," astrophysicist Michele Bannister from Queen's University Belfast in the UK told Adam Mann at Science.
That awesome loop means it takes L91 more than 20,000 years to orbit the Sun, and gives the icy world the status of the second greatest maximum orbital distance from the Sun (or aphelion) for a known TNO.
That means L91 beats the minor planet Sedna (at 939 AUs) but not the recently discovered asteroid 2014 FE72 (4,274 AUs).
But perhaps even more remarkable is the fact that L91's orbital trajectory appears to be in transition, with the tiny world migrating from one body of objects called the Oort cloud to another group nearby, the Kuiper belt.
This kind of transition has never been observed before in a TNO, and the team that found L91 thinks it could be due to the historical effects of Neptune's pull on the minor planet – perhaps paired with gravitational interactions with a passing star.
But not everybody is convinced with this explanation.
"It's a story that's not implausible, but I also think it's not needed," planetary scientist Konstantin Batygin from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), who wasn't involved with the discovery, told Science.
Batygin was part of the team that originally posed the Planet Nine hypothesis, and he thinks that this massive, still unseen world – also thought to lurk on the outskirts of the Solar System – could be what's responsible for unusual orbits of lots of smaller objects like L91.
In their study, which has not yet been published, Bannister's team looked at whether a Planet Nine-style mass – estimated to be about 10 times the mass of Earth – could explain L91's movements, but the initial calculations suggested not.
But with scientists finding more and more of these distant objects on the periphery of the Solar System, our ability to analyse their movements becomes stronger – meaning the hunt for Planet Nine gets a little bit closer every day.
"Every time we find another one of these objects, it adds another piece to the puzzle," one of the team, Meg Schwamb from the Gemini Observatory in Hilo, Hawaii, told Alexandra Witze at Nature.
The findings were presented at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society's Division for Planetary Science in Pasadena, California this week.

Scientists just accidentally discovered a process that turns CO2 directly into ethanol Converting pollution into fuel.

If scientists can figure out how to convert atmospheric carbon dioxide into fuel - and do it at an industrial scale - it would, quite literally, change the world. Last month, we hit the highest levels of atmospheric CO2 in 4 million years, and it’s now permanent, meaning we’ll never be able to drop to 'safe' levels again.
But if we can turn CO2 into a fuel source, we can at least slow things down a bit, and now researchers have developed a process that can achieve this with a single catalyst.
"We discovered somewhat by accident that this material worked," said one of the team, Adam Rondinone, from the US Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
"We were trying to study the first step of a proposed reaction when we realised that the catalyst was doing the entire reaction on its own."
Rondinone and his colleagues had put together a catalyst using carbon, copper, and nitrogen, by embedding copper nanoparticles into nitrogen-laced carbon spikes measuring just 50-80 nanometres tall. (1 nanometre = one-millionth of a millimetre.)
When they applied an electric current of just 1.2 volts, the catalyst converted a solution of CO2 dissolved in water into ethanol, with a yield of 63 percent.
This result was surprising for a couple of reasons: firstly, because it’s effectively reversing the combustion process using a very modest amount of electricity, and secondly, it was able to do this while achieving a relatively high yield of ethanol - they were expecting to end up with the significantly less desirable chemical, methanol.
As Colin Jeffrey explains for New Atlas, this type of electrochemical reaction usually results in a mix of several different products in small amounts, such as methane, ethylene, and carbon monoxide - none of which are in particularly high demand.
Instead, the team got usable amounts of ethanol, which the US needs billions of gallons of each year to add to gasoline.
"We’re taking carbon dioxide, a waste product of combustion, and we’re pushing that combustion reaction backwards with very high selectivity to a useful fuel," Rondinone said in a press statement.
"Ethanol was a surprise - it’s extremely difficult to go straight from carbon dioxide to ethanol with a single catalyst."
This certainly isn’t the first attempt to convert CO2 pollution into something we can actually use - researchers around the world have been figuring out ways to turn it into things like methanol, formate, and hydrocarbon fuel.
This one team working in Iceland wants to turn it all into solid rock so we can just bury it and forget about it.
But all of these methods, while promising, are dishing up an end product that the world doesn’t really need right now. Sure, we could adjust our cars and energy plants to run on hydrocarbon fuel if it was cheap and efficient enough to produce from CO2, but we’re certainly not there yet.
Ethanol, on the other hand - well, the US is already blending most of its gasoline with 10 to 15 percent ethanol content.
The researchers explain that they were able to achieve such high yields because the nanostructure of the catalyst was easy to manipulate and adjust to get the desired results.
"By using common materials, but arranging them with nanotechnology, we figured out how to limit the side reactions and end up with the one thing that we want," said Rondinone. "They are like 50-nanometre lightning rods that concentrate electrochemical reactivity at the tip of the spike."
The team says that since the catalyst is made from inexpensive materials, and can operate at room temperature with modest electrical requirements, it could be scaled up for industrial level use.
But with so many CO2 conversion projects in the works right now that are aiming to do the same thing, we'll have to remain cautiously optimistic until they can show real results in the field.
Let's hope someone ultimately figures it out, because with a drastically expanding population, we're only going to be needing more energy, and we're only going to be pumping more pollution into the atmosphere. A 'two birds with one stone' solution would change everything - particularly if we can integrate it with solar and wind farms.
"A process like this would allow you to consume extra electricity when it’s available to make and store as ethanol," Rondinone said. "This could help to balance a grid supplied by intermittent renewable sources."
The results have been published in ChemistrySelect.

A STAR BEYOND CRITICS - Membis Godwin Chukwukamma



A STAR BEYOND CRITICS

As the world is more than mere words;
The origin of God is beyond mankind.
As life is beyond our drunk imaginations,
Homo-erectus even wise are left not to find
Clothed interprititions of Golden poems;
They call it "RUBBISH" et "NONSENSE"
Myopic-men can't enjoy captivating taste of poems
With blind eyes connected to a halt-brain.No sense
Would it make.If Summer wind to them speak:
The 'strength and beauty' undiscoverd,
Their fire-burning-in-ignorance as well would speak
'The Universe have before now been emptied'.
Flash a smile.I have one or two of them_
Dwelling in power;it can illuminate them.
