Talk:Limbo (Brathwaite poem)

message: Hi does anyone know any other more technical points about the poem?
Edward Kamau Brathwaite: Limbo
This poem tells the story of slavery in a rhyming, rhythmic dance. It is ambitious and complex. There are two narratives running in parallel: 
•	the actions of the dance, and 
•	The history of a person which is being enacted. 
•	Going down and under the limbo stick is likened to the slaves' going down into the hold of the ship, which carries them into slavery. In Roman Catholic tradition, limbo is a place to which the souls of people go, if they are not good enough for heaven or bad enough for hell, between which limbo lies; it has come to mean any unpleasant place, or a state (of mind or body) from which it is difficult to escape. 
The story of slavery told in the poem is very easy to follow, yet full of vivid detail and lively action. 
The Limbo dance originates from the West Indies and the poem's strong beat reflects this. The word limbo appears as a complete line, it should be spoken slowly, the first syllable extended and both syllables stressed: Lím-bó. While the italics give the refrain (or chorus) which reminds us of the dance, the rest of the poem tells the story enacted in the dance: these lines are beautifully rhythmic, and almost every syllable is stressed, until the very last line, where the rhythm is broken, suggesting the completion of the dance, and the end of the narrative. 
This poem is suited to dramatic performance - there is the dancing under the limbo pole (difficult for most Europeans) and the acting out of the voyage into slavery. The poem can be chanted or sung, with a rhythmic accompaniment to bring out the drama in it (percussion, generally, is appropriate but drums, specifically, are ideal: in fact, the text refers to the “drummer” and the “music”).
Can I ask why black is in capitals and brackets? I presume there is some cryptic reason for this, or is it just some idiot highlighting the word black? Tainted Deity 09:40, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  ranking query 

message: This article claims that, "The film marked the return of Ingrid Bergman to the movies," a claim that is clearly false and has no source. The article then goes on to claim that, "After returning to film in Anastasia, Bergman agreed to star in this film," again, there is no source for this claim, and as with the previous statement it has no validity. Ingrid Bergman made Anastasia in 1956, thirteen years before Cactus Flower (1969). In those years she made the Stanley Donen directed Indiscreet (1958) with Cary Grant; The Inn of the Sixth Happiness (1958) with Curt Jurgens; Goodbye Again (1961) with Anthony Perkins fresh from his success in Psycho (1960); The Visit (1964) with Anthony Quinn; The Yellow Rolls-Royce (1964) with Rex Harrison, George C. Scott, Shirley MacLaine and Omar Sharif. The idea that Cactus Flower represents a return to the movies is clearly nonsense when the woman never stopped making movies with big name stars by well known directors and producers. For these obvious reasons I have deleted the whole paragraph and any editor wishing to replace it will require some sources. Cottonshirtτ 06:08, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

My doctor said that usually when the benign tumor grow to a certain

My doctor said because it's too big & in the right side, the only thing that he can do is monitor it, shouldn't do surgery because it's too much risk & no treatment can stop it grow.  Can any doctor
give me more option?

Talk:Rhomboid major muscle

message: A rhombus is a parallelogram (which has parallel and equal opposite sides) with 4 equal sides; a rhomboid is a parallelogram with unequal adjacent sides (i.e., not a rhombus) and oblique angles (i.e., not a rectangle). 
Most equate being diamond-shaped with being a rhombus, in which case the article is in a sense saying that the word  rhomboid suggests a rhombus, which is like saying the word humanoid suggests a human. In a sense it does suggest, or bring to mind, a human, but with the connotation (if not definition) that, while like a human, it is also not a human. Similarly for rhomboid, and I think all -oids. Even if you don't equate being diamond-shaped with being a rhombus (some regard some kites as being diamond-shaped as well), a rhomboid should/would not be considered diamond-shaped because it lacks the equal adjacent sides (by definition) and bilateral symmetry necessary for the latter. For a less "definitive" approach, if you just look at the diagram of the Rhomboideus muscles, there is no way to make them into a diamond-shape, the oblique unattached borders of the muscles being markedly longer than their respectively adjacent attached vertical borders. I propose the following explanation for its name (perhaps it can be simplified):
 
"The Rhomboideus muscles (major and minor) are named for their geometrical shape. In geometry, a rhomboid is a parallelogram (with opposite sides parallel and equal in length) that has unequal adjacent sides forming oblique, non-rectangular angles. The Rhomboideus muscles each have two vertical borders attached to the spinal column and medial border of the scapula respectively (with the spinal attachment superior to the scapular) that are equal in length to each other and shorter than the two unattached borders, the latter also parallel and equal in length to each other, and angled obliquely downward laterally."Jauntymcd 14:42, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rhomboid major muscle is not "diamond-shaped" 

message: The "Other Animals" section in the article leaves so much to be desired, if it can't be completely rewritten it should be deleted.
There are three topographic groups of shoulder muscles, OK, and the trapezius evolved "separately", well, okay, though you really could tell us more about that (from what if not the same ribs?);
but the fact is you're not really telling us anything about other animals.
The mention of "primitive animals" is ridiculous.  What animals are you even talking about?  Other primates?  Dogs, cats, horses?  Who says all these other animals are primitive?  They're highly evolved also,
just in different directions from us.  Or maybe you mean one-celled animals?  And then you don't really tell us anything about those other animals.
I can understand that the way the upper back muscles work in humans is different from animals who don't stand upright, and that would be interesting, but you haven't actually given us any information about that.

message: As part of the divestiture long lines got a copy of tirks which they hired a large consulting concern to modify in order to provision carrier circuits. There seems to have been many instances which managed local loops. The upgrade work was done over a five year period in the late 1980s in Cincinnati, Ohio. This work finished up by the early 1990s. The tirks code was primarily PL/1, a macro version of assembler that mimicked PL/1, and pure IBM assembler. As with other versions this application ran more or less as a distributed application on multiple mainframes scattered around the US.
