![]() And even though there are two different forms, they are both related by the use of thought and emotion. In short, the lyric poem has been around for centuries and has played a large role in literature history. Pindarus (522 BC - 443 BC) accustomed his odes to rhyme and meter much like modern day poetry. Shakespearean sonnets generally use iambic pentameter.Īncient Hebrew poetry, on the other hand, relied on repetition and chiasmus, while classic Greek and Roman were written in set meters and strophes. On the other hand, Shakespearean consists of three quatrains of abab cdcd efef followed by a couplet, gg. The Petrarchan form is a sonnet consisting of an octave rhyming abbaabba followed by a sestet of cddcee or cdecde. The most popular form of lyric poetry is the 14-line sonnet (generally a sub-division of an ode), either in Petrarchan or Shakespearean form, in Western civilization. Most lyrics are strictly structured with regular meter and are set to music, although it isn't always the case. This type of lyric is the most popular and includes the sub-genre of sonnets.īoth elegies and odes can be sub-divided into several different kinds of poetry. This type of poem is generally seen as a way to pay homage to a thing or person. Ode A serious or thoughtful poem, usually with a formal structure. Elegy A poem of mourning or reflection on the death of an individual. Lyric poetry is made of two main types: elegy and ode. However, it is just as common for the form and theme to be opposites, which brings the readers interest on whether the poet can successfully bridge a union between the two. In some cases, the form and theme of a lyric poem are inter wed. Psalm: a sacred song of worship, such as those featured in the Book of Psalms in the Bible. However, today the use of refrains is quite rare outside of music. Paean: expresses thanks, elation, or triumph through the form of a song or lyrical poem. Traditionally, the refrain was commonly used and included one or several lines that end or follow a strophe and is then repeated throughout the poem, either exact or with a slight variation. Nonetheless, a common feature in all the subdivisions is the use of great emotion and thought. Lyric poetry (in addition to spectacle) is a source of great pleasure, Aristotle argues, because human beings have a natural proclivity for rhythm and music. Lyric poetry is verse put to song, and it is not found in epic poetry. Lyric poetry is made up of two forms with many sub-genres. Lyric poetry is one of the component parts of tragedy. ![]() Nonetheless, the lyric has played an important role in the development of this great literature genre and has been used for millenniums by authors who simply wanted their poem to have more emotion and thought than the other genres provide. ![]() However, historically it wasn't always this way. The lyric is seen as one of the three main poetry forms today.

On April 17, 1840, a bomb exploded inside the base of the column, destroying the staircase, blowing off half the roof, and cracking the column. But the original monument would not last for long. It was 135 feet tall and had a winding staircase in the column that led to an obersvation platform just below the summit. The monument was completed sometime after 1827. The procession from Fort George to Queenston attracted dignitaries and thousands of citizens. On October 13, 1824, the remains of Brock and Macdonell were removed from the bastion at Fort George and buried in the tomb. A tomb for Isaac Brock and John Macdonell were incorporated into the design. In early 1824, Hall supervised the excavation and construction of the monument's foundation. It was to be erected in the military reserve on the edge of Queenston Heights. After many years of consultations and fundraising, the government approved a monument designed by Francis Hall. In 1814, the Upper Canada legislature designated £500 for a monument dedicated to Isaac Brock on Queenston Heights. ![]() In the years after the battle, efforts were made to honour Brock and those who had fought with him.

You really can't go wrong which direction you choose, but we will give the description going up Paintbrush first. We did both directions as day hikes but both are suitable for backpacking adventures.īoth trips were good hikes and the scenery just could hardly be beat. In 2012, we hiked the Paintbrush Loop again, but that time we went to Lake Solitude first and then down Paintbrush Canyon. Returning to the trailhead we had a long day, but it was a good hike. The North Fork and Cascade Canyon trails were fun, but we were back in the trees and could set an easy pace. The Divide and the descent to Solitude were great. The crossing was not bad, but a slip would not have been good. There was one fairly long snow traverse, but those who had passed that way before had left us good steps. Leaving with an alpine start we quickly climbed to Holly Lake and on to the Divide. We first hiked the Paintbrush Loop in 2004. ![]() The tmutil addexclusion command has an interesting property: it's sticky. For example, if I want to exclude my Downloads folder from Time Machine backups, I would run the following: The part stands for the path to a file or folder. Naturally, you can also do this from the command line, too. You can exclude certain files and folders from your Time Machine backups from the Time Machine pane in System Preferences. If you love delving into the nitty-gritty, and especially if you manage remote Macs, you'll find this to be a very useful tool. You can turn local snapshots back on by running: Running this command will also delete any local snapshots. You can do so with the following command: However, these local snapshots take up space, and you may want to turn this feature off if you don't have much room on your hard disk. Since your laptop isn't always connected to its backup disk, Time Machine retains "local snapshots," or files that it will copy to your backup disk the next time it is available. Tmutil stopbackup Save disk space on your laptop This is the same as choosing Back Up Now from the Time Machine menu in the menu bar at the top of your screen.Īnd if you ever want to stop a backup, just run this: If you want to run a Time Machine backup right away, on a Mac that either has Time Machine disabled, or, say, just before updating to a new version of OS X, you can run this command: The sudo command is required for many of the commands you issue with tmutil because you need administrative privileges you'll have to enter your password after running the above commands. (You'll find the Terminal app in your /Applications/Utilities folder.) The man page tells you what you can do with this command.įor example, to turn Time Machine on or off, you can run these commands: The basics of the tmutil command can be found by typing man tmutil in Terminal. Who will need it? People who want to manage remote Macs or who want to run scripts containing commands for Time Machine. ![]() Most people won't need to use this command for their backups because the Time Machine interface will suffice. Here's how you can use the tmutil command to control and tweak Time Machine from Apple's command-line tool, Terminal. As with most of OS X's functions, there is a command-line tool that lets you do many things with Time Machine. But for some users, the basic Time Machine interface isn't enough. Time Machine is a great tool for ensuring that your data is safe, and it's pretty easy to set up and use. This is really useful for remotely updating Macs, setting up automated updates via a bash script, or if you just want to geek out.Ĭontrol Time Machine from the command line If you want to see all the available command line shortcuts for Software Update, just type: Sudo softwareupdate -ignore iWeb3.0.2-3.0.2 If there are any updates you want to ignore, you can do so with the -–ignore flag, for example: ![]() Sudo softwareupdate -i iPhoneConfigurationUtility-3.2 Or you can just install specific software updates by specifying the shorthand package name from the previous list, like so: You can also install only the recommended updates with: The use of sudo is required to get superuser privileges to actually install the updates. ![]() You can then install all available software updates with the following command: You will see a list of available updates. To get a list of available software updates, type the following command: To repair the drive, you can issue the following command into Terminal:ĭiskutil repairvolume /Volumes/BackupStuff/ If, however, you get an error like “The volume Macintosh HD was found corrupt and needs to be repaired,” then you can repair the drive using diskutil as well. If you see no messages, then you can assume that diskutil hasn’t found any errors, and you can move on. So for an external drive named “BackupStuff” you would enter:ĭiskutil verifyvolume /Volumes/BackupStuff/ Or, if you have an external drive attached, you can type or paste in the following:ĭiskutil verifyvolume /Volumes// So, for your main hard drive, you could type or paste in something like: Once launched, type or paste in the following command.

Well turns out there were actually quite a few games developed for handheld consoles.Īnd with RetroDodo focusing particularly on retro handheld gaming… it’s only right that we share one of the most remarkable from the franchise’s long history. China's state media has touted the government's political system under Xi as the main reason the country has been so successful in preventing COVID-19 cases and deaths.ĬOVID-19 cases are rising in China as the virus becomes more transmissible, leading to growing public dissent against the government's strict containment policies. The zero-COVID policy has been a signature policy of President Xi Jinping since the pandemic began. How much does the government support the policy? Most residents do not have natural immunity because the coronavirus has not been as widespread in China as in most other countries. Over 90% of China's population is fully vaccinated, according to Reuters. Its population has received vaccines that are developed in China and are not based on the mRNA technology that is used in most Western-made vaccines. Even residents not under strict lockdown must endure repeated testing and limitations placed on travel.Ĭhina has not yet authorized any foreign-made vaccines, which have been found to be highly effective. The policy has also greatly affected daily life and travel.Beijing's target economic growth for 2022 was 5.5%, but the country's economy had grown only 3.9% in the past year ending in September. China's zero-COVID policy has had a huge effect on the economy, including global supply chains.Lockdowns in some cities, such as Yining in the northwest, have led to widespread shortages of food and other daily necessities.While's China's COVID-19 policy has kept case numbers lower than in most countries, the methods have come at a cost, including: Such isolation can be enforced with electronic seals attached to residents' doors. Even those who had only distant contact with an infected person or potentially infected person can be made to isolate. Anyone who has been in contact with an infected person is either put in government quarantine facilities or ordered to isolate.Even in places where there have been no new cases, residents often need to have a recent negative COVID-19 test to be able to enter a business or public facility. The government carries out mass testing in places where COVID-19 has been reported.Residents need to use the app to enter public places and are notified if they cross paths with an infected person or travel to a high-risk area, resulting in mandatory testing or isolation. Contract tracing apps are used by authorities to monitor people's movements to try to track the spread of the virus.Major cities have been shut down for weeks or months at a time. The affected area can span neighborhoods or even entire cities. Lockdowns can be established even if only a few COVID-19 cases are detected.While policies can vary by region, they all tend to employ the following methods: Public anger has mounted, leading to protests in multiple cities.Ĭhina's national zero-COVID policy is implemented at the local level. However, as the virus has become more transmittable, cases have increased across China and lockdowns have become more severe. Initially, public discontent over the government's approach was minimal with many expressing pride in the country's ability to keep cases to almost none. China has nearly 16,000 COVID-19 deaths among its population of 1.4 billion, according to the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center, while the United States - the country hardest-hit by the pandemic - has recorded more than a million deaths. What is Beijing's reasoning for the policy?Ĭhina says its strategy has kept coronavirus cases and deaths low compared with Western countries. Since then, China has continued with the same methods, making them part of its zero-COVID policy. To achieve this, it has implemented mass testing, quarantined the sick in government facilities and imposed strict lockdowns that can span entire cities.Ĭhina surprised the world when it locked down the entire city of Wuhan during the initial outbreak of the virus in 2019, confining more than 11 million residents to their homes. Here is a closer look at the policy.Ĭhina's goal in fighting COVID-19 is to keep cases as close to zero as possible. The demonstrations indicate that many Chinese have grown weary of the lengthy lockdowns and widespread testing that is a part of China's "zero-COVID" policy. Protests have erupted across China over the country's strict pandemic restrictions.
