![]() ![]() "O Captain! My Captain!" is Walt Whitman’s most widely known and revered poems, and became his first anthology, despite its basic rhyme scheme and song-like structuring when compared to most of his other works, which are much more complex in nature. Even though he never knew Lincoln, Whitman felt closely bonded to him and was deeply moved by his assassination. Whitman relocated to Washington, D.C., during the American Civil War, where he worked for the government and volunteered at hospitals. Often referred to as the “father of free verse”, his work was controversial at the time, especially his poetry collection Leaves of Grass, which was characterized as obscene for its overt sexuality. Walter Whitman (May 31, 1819 – March 26, 1892) was and American poet and journalist born in the town of Huntington on Long Island. “for you the flag is flung-for you the bugle trills, For you bouquets and ribbon’d wreaths-for you the shores a-crowding, For you they call,” giving readers a window into the poet’s longing to celebrate with his leader. He keeps mentioning “you” - calling Abraham Lincoln - as if as a reminder that all the celebration is for him, even if he’s not there. The poet juxtaposes the moments of vibrancy and happiness in ‘wreaths’, ‘bouquets’ and ‘bells’ with those of dismay and grief connoting Lincoln’s body in ‘cold’, ‘pale’ and ‘still’. ![]() The lack of time to celebrate their victory before being faced with a terrible and unnerving loss is evident from how immediately the tone of the poem changes. The “O Captain!” quickly changes to “O Heart!” leaving the readers with a sense of desperation as if to bring him back to life. The first stanza starts off at a very hopeful note, as if rejoicing the victory of the Union in the Civil war, but slowly turns cold and dim with the revelation of Lincoln’s death. While the crowd ‘exults shores and rings bells’, Whitman treads the deck, mourning the death of his leader ‘fallen cold and dead’. While the country rejoices in the Union, it also mourns for Lincoln. Written as an elegy for President Abraham Lincoln after what is considered one of the worst assassinations in the history of the United States, the poem explores the joy and sorrow of the American community as a whole as well as Whitman as an individual. ![]() But a deeper look into the original poem might just help you understand what makes the phrase even more iconic than you ever imagined! Kudos and much thanks go to Chris for this monologue, it is very much appreciated.Every Robin Williams fan has watched and unwatched and revealed at the marvel of the “O Captain! My Captain!” scene in Dead Poets Society. Whether it's proud, whether it's silly, anything. But you must trust that your beliefs are unique, your own, even though others may think them odd or unpopular, even though the herd may go, "That's bad." Robert Frost said, "Two roads diverged in a wood and I, I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference." Now, I want you to find your own walk right now. Now, we all have a great need for acceptance. Walked differently." Well, ask yourselves why you were clapping. Now, those of you - I see the look in your eyes like, "I would've I brought them up here to illustrate the point of conformity: the difficulty in maintaining your own beliefs in the face of others.

I would go to the beach, and people would kick copies of Byron in my face. I was the intellectual equivalent of a ninety-eight-pound weakling. And no, at that time, I was not the mental giant you see before you. Yes, I, too, attended Hellton and have survived. Keating, or, if you're slightly more daring, "O Captain! My Captain." Now let me dispel a few rumors, so they don't fester into facts. Now, this class, you can either call me Mr. Not a clue? It's from a poem by Walt Whitman about Mr. Keating: "O Captain! My Captain!" Who knows where that comes from? Anybody. ![]()

![]() Posey was flanked by his wife, Kristen, Giants chairman Greg Johnson, team president Larry Baer and president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi.Īt one point Zaidi turned to Posey to ask a question. "It was getting to the point that things that I was enjoying were not as joyful anymore." It's hard to enjoy it as much when there is physical pain that you're dealing with. "I want to do more stuff from February to November with family," Posey said in a news conference. He is the first catcher in MLB history to hit. Posey, 34, was a seven-time All-Star, including in his final season when he hit. Longtime San Francisco Giants star Buster Posey said the desire to spend more time with his family combined with the physical toll of playing catcher led him to retire Thursday following a 12-year MLB career. San Francisco Giants' Buster Posey retires, citing family, physical toll of game But there will be no doubting his legacy and the respect and affection Giants faithful will retain.Īs one said on Twitter: “I will accept this plan under the condition that he is retiring from baseball so that he can represent us in the Senate.You have reached a degraded version of because you're using an unsupported version of Internet Explorer.įor a complete experience, please upgrade or use a supported browser ![]() In a sport where players generally have to be pulled from the clubhouse, kicking and screaming, Buster is leaving with his head up, his reputation intact and his expression unchanged.įans will be disappointed, of course. There will be no sad final season down the road, when an aging Posey can’t catch up to the fastball and his playing time is limited. ![]() And you also know that his family is a big part of making the decision.īut mostly, it is so impressive that an elite player of his abilities, who has achieved nearly every important award and goal in the game, has decided he’s done enough and is going to walk away. You know he’s given retirement some careful thought. Lincecum, frankly, looked absolutely shocked.īecause he saved it for the right moments.Īnd this, finally, is also the right moment. When the last out was recorded, stoic, even-keel Posey rushed the mound and enveloped Lincecum in what became known as a “Buster hug.” They’ll think of him behind the plate for three no-hitters and Matt Cain’s perfect game in 2012.įor indelible memories, it is hard to beat July 13, 2013, when Tim Lincecum needed 148 pitches to complete his no-no. “I save it for the right moments,” he deadpanned.Īctually, for a lot of Posey fans, it won’t be the six career walk-off hits or the critical home runs they’ll remember. Huh, people said, that was out of character. Standing at first, he pumped his fist and actually yelled. He singled to center, of course, driving in the two go-ahead runs for a lead the Giants never lost. Last month, one win away from clinching the National League West pennant, Posey came to bat with the bases loaded in the third. He’s definitely sarcastic, and teammates learned to be on guard for a snarky one-liner.Īnd yet, once in a blue moon, he let the emotions flow. It’s a shame, because he can be pretty funny. Once the games started, we got straight vanilla from Buster. It’s too distracting to have to come up with entertaining quotes all the time. Then he added, “I was just fortunate to get a good pitch to hit and got the barrel of the bat on it.”Īt this point we’d say, “Don’t ever change, Buster,” but it is obvious he never will.Īs one of his teammates said this year, “Buster’s heartbeat is just a little slower than the rest of us.”īuster actually admitted to me at a pre-season media session that he was boring on purpose during the season. “It’s kind of weird running about the bases and didn’t really hear a sound,” he said at the time. Even Posey noticed how Great American Ball Park went still when the ball cleared the fence. ![]() Instead, he became an All-Star, won the batting title, was named MVP and hit a stadium-silencing grand slam in Game 5 of the NL Division Series against the Reds. It ended his season, just 45 games in, and there was serious speculation he’d never play again. The crash fractured his leg and tore ligaments in his ankle, necessitating surgery. The first was after his horrific injury in a collision at home plate in 2011. ![]() And then, in the most jaw-dropping announcement until today, he said he’d decided not to play the season.īut he returned this year, kicked butt, and, naturally, was named National League Comeback Player of the year - for the second time. Before the 2020 season, after his wife Kristen and he adopted two babies with medical conditions, he gave the situation - and the outbreak of the pandemic - some thought. ![]() ![]() ![]() The follow through is the last part of your shot that enables the ball to have a back spin rotation as it enters the basket. The follow through is just as important as the arc to shoot perfectly in basketball. They say that the perfect arc angle for ball entry in the rim is between 43 and 47 degrees. It just needs to be high enough that it will be close to the top as it goes down. But don’t make it too high or else you’ll lose control. Instead of shooting directly, get the ball as high as you naturally can. To get a perfect shot that will get you that swish sound, you’ll need to get your arc up. So, if you want to get that shot every time, follow these tips: Tips to Swish Every Shot You MakeĮven though a swish shot is basically the same points, it just hits different.Ī swish shot pressures opponents better than if you bounced if off the backboard or got a lucky bounce on the rim.Ī swish shot just means that you’re that dangerous. If you can swish the majority of your shots, it means that you’re technically an alien.īut don’t forget that whether you swish your shot or not, it’s still worth the same points in the end. ![]() You’ll only hear the net which produces the sound “swish” or “swoosh” or any other iteration of the term. So, when you swish a perfect shot, that means that it didn’t touch the rim or backboard. If it was that easy, we’d all be Steph Curry already! So in theory, a player should be able to sink their shots easily if the ring is twice the size of the ball.īut in reality, it’s never that easy. And the diameter of an NBA approved basket is 18 inches. That’s because the diameter of an NBA basketball is roughly around 9.47 inches. The simple answer is that swish is the result of a PERFECT shot. Why is swish even a term in basketball? If you’re wondering just that, you’ve come to the right place. Is the Swish a great thing in basketball? It was under the context where the main character of the story sinks a college basketball game winner. If you’re curious where the term was first used, according to NBC Sports, it’s from a 1913 story called “The Coward” by Trebor Yarruns. Some may even call it “swoosh” or “swosh”. The term was derived from what you hear when you shoot a flawless shot that only touches the net. The meaning of swish in basketball is to shoot the ball in the basket without touching the backboard and the rim. The literal meaning of swish is to move with a hissing sound – the sound that snakes make. Whether you’re a casual fan or a die-hard one, you may have heard the term “swish” in basketball.

We asked if we could make a reservation for four for the following day and he at first shook his head and looked at his reservation book and then looked at us and then with a big smile said OK see you tomorrow. Upon arrival during lunch time we found the place closed but the owner? (cute/short guy with the handlebar moustache) opened the door and invited us in and in broken english said they were open for evenings only. As we were arriving during the busy Milan Furniture Fair week we went to the restaurant beforehand to make a reversion. Was recommended by a local friend in Milan to try La Libera and it was a great choice. Highly recommended to couples, families or groups having a relaxed night out in an old fashioned bistro with its own personality and style. At this stage the restaurant was filling up with a younger trendier crowd and the whole affair moved up a gear to deal seamlessly with this. The service and attention throughout was faultless. For dessert we shared a hot chocolate tart and two glasses of Sauternes. My wife had the grilled vegetables with melted cheese again really good. I was guided to the deep fried prawns, squid and zucchini on a crispy cheese "pancake" which had great taste and mouth sensation. We shared a zucchini flower stuffed with cheese, which was fine but bland. The room is as welcoming as the management and staff, redolent of a patina of respected age. As we arrived at 2000 hours, early by Milan standards, we were fitted in without a booking and taken through the menu by helpful english speaking staff, and suggested a delicious red at €25. The first spring collection of the Fashion Week is held in Feb-Mar and the fall collection in Sept-Oct both mostly at the Fiera Milano Exhibition Centre.Having had a special and singular meal in Osteria del Curso (see my review) they recommended La Libera. The Milan Fashion Week is held twice a year, in spring and fall. One can have a stroll around the famous fashion hub of Milan intensely choc blocked by fashion streets such as Via Monte Napoleone, Via Manzoni, Via della Spiga and Corso Venezia. This celebrity spotting can turn out to be an event in itself as invitation becomes compulsory for the fashion shows. One has to be a royal or celebrity family to visit this event, so mostly you would have to be happy with seeing all the fashion icons mingling on the Milan streets. It is a highly competitive and appreciated industry all around the world and Milan is fondly known as the ‘fashion’ capital of the world. Milan with its tradition in textile industry which goes a long way back, fashion rules the roost. The ‘week’ remains just a keyword search on the search engine as it goes on for more than a week to adjust a few more designers and their collections. This healthy competition of traditional festivals, exhibitions and fashion shows probably starts in February with the inaugural of the Milan Fashion Week. The city supports a very cosmopolitan lifestyle resulting in a very interesting mix where fashion weeks are welcomed with equal rigor and zest as the ‘fiestas’. Milan festivals cannot be tagged as celebration related with religion and traditions. ![]() ![]() ![]() Matthew 25:14-27 Lina, Doon and Doon’s father all have to use their God-given resourceful natures to help them find the way out of Ember. One day, this will happen for everyone who holds faith in Christ, as we leave all the worries, fears, and pain of this world behind. All the worries, fears and nightmares of Ember were left behind in the beauty of this new place, the outdoor surface. It reminded me of how earth may seem to those in heaven. John 14:2-3 - There is more to this life than what we see: At the end of the movie the kids look down through a cave opening and see the city of Ember all lit up, far down below. There are some large underground creatures, security guards chasing kids and other intense moments, which younger children may find difficult to handle. It could offer a chance for discussion on what the second coming means to Christians. Whether this is a parting shot at Christianity on the part of the author or not is difficult to judge, most kids under the age of 13 would never connect these concepts together though. There is a side character who is portrayed as a kind but naïve woman who thinks the “builders” who gave them Ember will one day return to rescue them. However, the box gets lost and opens when no one is around to notice it.įinally, Lina finds the box and with the help of her friend, Doon, they set out to find the way out of Ember, which is beginning to fall apart.Ĭity of Ember is a pretty clean movie with no swearing and no sexual references. Each mayor of Ember is to pass down this box to the next mayor until it opens. ![]() They do not want the young citizens to know of the outside world so they hide the escape from Ember in a box set to open in 200 years. The story is set far in the future when a group of scientists, architects and engineers build an underground city called Ember to hide a group of elderly people and small children from an impending world disaster. ![]() The child actors playing the lead, Doon and Lina, were great. The cast is lead by several familiar actors including Bill Murray, Tim Robbins and Martin Landau. As with every book to movie adaptation there are a great deal of variances in the plot, but City of Ember does a fairly good job of keeping true to the feel and overall message of the book. My family read (and enjoyed) the book, City of Ember, by Jeanne DuPrau so we naturally wanted to see the movie when it came out. ![]() ![]() So, they can check for the series on some other streaming service or watch shows like ‘ The Knick‘ and ‘ Euphoria.’ Is Dopesick on Disney+?

Our results suggest that the indefinite causal order along with a tiny amount of quantum discord can act as a resource in creating nonzero quantum coherence in the absence of entanglement. This finding may have some interesting applications on its own where discord can be consumed as a resource. We find that when the indefinite causal order of channels acts on one half of the entangled pair, then the shared state loses entanglement, but can retain nonzero quantum discord. We show this specifically for the superposition of two completely depolarizing channels, two partially depolarizing channels and one completely depolarizing channel along with a unitary operator. Here, we present a method for the creation of quantum coherence at a remote location via the use of entangled state and indefinite causal order. However, if there is a noisy channel acting on one side of the shared resource, then it is not possible to create perfect quantum coherence remotely. Quantum coherence of an arbitrary qubit can be created at a remote location using maximally entangled state, local operation and classical communication. Recently.Quantum coherence is a prime resource in quantum computing and quantum communication.
