Book Description
While describing a descent into addiction, suicide attempts, and self-mutilation, Nancy K. Pearson is a foil to her own self-harm through the very act of writing. In her debut poetry collection TWO MINUTES OF LIGHT, creativity becomes an antidote to destructiveness. IN TWO MINUTES OF LIGHT, Nancy K. Pearson writes about a descent into the madness of addiction and suicide attempts, and the foil to self-destruction is art itself--finding small beauty in unlikely places and transforming it into poetry. With stunning imagination, acute mindfulness, spunk, and not an ounce of sentimentality or gratuitousness, Pearson mines her despair for "minutes of light" that provide rungs toward a more livable life. While immersed in the bleak world of psychiatric wards and crack motels, the poet, almost unnervingly, writes about sea grass, milkweed, ghost crabs, and wild lilies in a way that lifts the reader back to a place of connection, like holding hands with a stranger. Pearson's genius is her ironic voice, the immediacy of her images, and her fearless attitude. What is creativity if not the antidote to destructiveness? "These poems remind me of collecting stones while walking, each one leading the way to a house in the forest. I want to say they spell redemption, but the forest has its own kind of talking and what's extraordinary about this extraordinary book is how that world -- tree, insect, rain, fish, flower, bird -- has its saying and song too. I've never seen the world of human trauma and recovery set in what we call 'the natural world, ' mediated by the human gaze, yes, and so blessedly indifferent to us. I read this book over and over again."--Marie Howe "Nancy Pearson's poems are rife with the urgencies of constructing a self. It is a harrowing, hard-fought project. As one poem asks, 'By what small margins do we survive?' This is a book fiercely in love with the world, a book that unflinchingly examines what can keep someone from inhabiting that world, whole. Two Minutes of Light is a startling, luminous, and moving first collection."--Kim Addonizio "In Two Minutes of Light, Nancy K. Pearson invents visceral, exciting language to enact redemption with stunning clarity. In Pearson's world, there is no sentimentality to redemption, no fear of the negative. She doesn't let absolutes do the work. As with Dante, the voice changes as it travels from hell to the scary possibility of happiness. But there's no urge to create a model, a template for behavior. Pearson works in the moment, with a keen ear and a live, fluid line. I think of the Arab poet who said he would not trade his moment of mortality for God's omniscience. Two Minutes of Light is a dazzling voyage."--D. Nurske Poetry. LGBTQ+ Studies. Women's Studies.

PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLER
Author: PEng. Emmanuel Pregrino Mgisha
Publisher: Manda Publishers
ISBN: 8197242402
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
The programmable logic controller represents a key factor in industrial automation because, before programmable logic controllers, manufacturing plants employed relay-based circuitry to energise different loads based on how the relays were wired together. The circuit patterns used for these drawings are known as ladder diagrams. Relays were costly, required constant maintenance, and could not be easily reconfigured. As PLCs took over this process, it was essential to maintain a similarity to the old system; thus, ladder logic was created as the first PLC programming language. Ladder logic is one of the top 5 most popular types of PLC programming languages used in various module syllabuses in various fields of Engineering courses, including Electrical, Electronics, Telecommunications, Mechanical, Mechatronics, Electromechanical, Oil and Gas, Ship Building and Marine Engineering, Pneumatic and Hydraulic Systems, to design various projects and systems in various areas, including domestic, residence,industrial systems, control of machinery, commercial, mining sector, aircraft, electric vehicles, marine automation, power stations, power substations, electric train and railway electrification systems, etc.
