Introduction to Poetry

I ask them to take a poem and hold it up to the light like a color slide or press an ear against its hive. I say drop a mouse into a poem and watch him probe his way out, or walk inside the poem's room and feel the walls for a light switch. I want them to waterski across the surface of a poem waving at the author's name on the shore. But all they want to do is tie the poem to a chair with rope and torture a confession out of it. They begin beating it with a hose to find out what it really means. —Billy Collins src:http://www.loc.gov/poetry/180/001.html

The Summer Day

The Summer DayWho made the world? Who made the swan, and the black bear? Who made the grasshopper? This grasshopper, I mean- the one who has flung herself out of the grass, the one who is eating sugar out of my hand, who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down- who is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes. Now she lifts her pale forearms and thoroughly washes her face. Now she snaps her wings open, and floats away. I don't know exactly what a prayer is. I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass, how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields, which is what I have been doing all day. Tell me, what else should I have done? Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon? Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? —Mary Oliver

wifi driver rtl8192 fix ubuntu

First step

You need to get a few things installed. Those are:
  kernel headers
  build tools (gcc, make, etc)
  dkms
  git

You can obtain them by executing following commands:

For Debian/Ubuntu (and other systems equipped with apt tool)

apt-get install --reinstall linux-headers-$(uname -r) linux-headers-generic build-essential dkms git

For Fedora (and other systems equipped with yum tool)

yum install kernel-devel gcc dkms git

For Fedora versions from 23 up, use the following command
dnf install kernel-devel gcc dkms git

Second step

Obtain the fixed drivers:

git clone https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes.git

Third step

Build and install a DKMS module. Execute this command without leaving the current directory!

dkms add ./rtl8192cu-fixes && dkms install 8192cu/1.10 && depmod -a

Fourth step

Block the native (and broken) drivers:

cp ./rtl8192cu-fixes/blacklist-native-rtl8192.conf /etc/modprobe.d/

Fifth step

The last step is to execute following command and enjoy your…

Antimatter research laboratory. Credit: Professor Niels Madsern Swansea University scientists working at CERN have again made a landmark finding, taking them one step closer to answering the question of why matter exists and illuminating the mysteries of the Big Bang and the birth of the Universe. In their paper published in Nature the physicists from the University's College of Science, working with an international collaborative team at CERN, describe the first observation of spectral line shapes in antihydrogen, the antimatter equivalent of hydrogen. Professor Mike Charlton said: "The existence of antimatter is well established in physics, and it is buried deep in the heart of some of the most successful theories ever developed. But we have yet to answer a central que…
