Leda and the Swan William Butler Yeats's "Leda and the Swan" retells the story from Greek mythology of the rape of a girl named Leda by Zeus, the most powerful of the Greek gods. The "twist" of the story is that Zeus is disguised as a swan. Yeats presents this tale in a relatively graphic way, so modern readers may find the language disturbing. Stories about sex with animals were fairly common in classical societies like Ancient Greece, and the myth of Leda and the swan was once well known. "Leda and the Swan" was published in Yeats's 1928 collection The Tower – one of the most celebrated and important literary works of the 20th century. The Tower was published five years after Yeats was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923. Yeats's poem was inspired by a Greek myth in which Zeus rapes Leda, the daughter of a king named Thestius. We need some background on Helen of Troy and the Trojan War before we get to "Leda and the Swan." Yeats is one of Ireland's most well-known and important poets.
Viral Matters - Focus on Direct Acting Antivirals: New Hep C meds may override watchful waiting for patients with no symptoms Article posted on 3/11/12 on MedCityNews.com - Viral Matters editor comments following: Contrarians exist everywhere, some good at pointing out where mainstream thinking has gone awry, and some just embracing the opposite point of view for reasons beyond the scope for this blog. Here is an article authored by Michael Kirsch, MD a community physician and frequent writing contributor to various on-line medical-related blogs and websites. His opinion is to watch, wait and observe. I'm sure that this is a valid approach with some patients, but it's helpful to keep in mind that liver disease progression is non-linear and cannot be predicted. Aside from the reasons that Dr. Kirsch lists below to treat, there are others as well that come with active replicating Hepatitis C virus - lymphoma, neurological impairment and osteoporosis. New Hep C meds may override watchful waiting for patients with no symptoms I seemany patients with hepatitis C (HCV). Yes, I know that the disease can be serious.
Critical Thinking and Emotional Intelligence In addition to Goleman’s lack of sensitivity to the brain-to-mind translation problem, and his failure to acknowledge that we already know much about the mind through its works and constructs, Goleman’s work is often inconsistent and sometimes incoherent. Let us look at some cases. Two Brains Equals Two Minds Because Goleman’s “theory” of mind is based strictly on his interpretations of data from brain research, he comes to some questionable conclusions about the mind. Based on this description of brain activity (and other similar descriptions), he concludes " . . . we have two minds, one that thinks and one that feels . . . Suppose we grant that "signals" to the brain proceed to the amygdala before they reach the neo-cortex, and that this fact allows the amygdala to begin to respond before the neo-cortex, it nevertheless does not follow that we should then interpret the brain to have "two minds — and two different kinds of intelligence; rational and emotional (p. 28)."
