Your Last Video

There’s our Jo Jo, in the video she

took of herself preparing a recipe for

braised beef neck bone and seasoned turnips

only a week or so before the accident

that devastated us. For the longest time

I couldn’t bring myself to watch the clip,

sorely aware that hand, pinching the salt,

busy with the knife and onion, now lay cold

in cherrywood in the Wisconsin earth.

The oaks through winter aptly wore no green.

Wind ushered cloudy skies. I’d forgotten

about it altogether. Then one day

there it was in my files, jo jo_s julia—

hovering out on a new PC’s large screen,

her voice chirping on to my astonishment.

Stir the vinegar briskly, adding oil,

a drop or two—oops, three… Strange how cooking

draws out the intensity in her, the swallowed

husky voice, her look’s aimed fire.

Why doesn’t Jo Jo smile? her mom frowned.

That isn’t my little girl. True to the mother

that somehow may never be consoled.

She was determined to succeed at everything,

shadow and pith, the hairbrush in her mirror

to the subtleties in settlement depositions—

vying for partnership in the firm.

Clyde her husband didn’t grasp every hand

extended from the sleeves of their tailored suits.

Her driver’s heavy foot was notorious.

Either you slow down, I once barked at her

from my squirming passenger seat,

or stop the damn car and let me out.

I’ll walk, I told her. Kill yourself if you want to.

I told her that. I didn’t mean it that way

of course, and how I deal with having said it

is with admiration for her persistence that could

make me say a thing because I meant it

beyond how out of line it was. Courage,

I often wonder, or restraint from offending,

which is the greater virtue? Honesty or kindness—

wholly ignoring the context of that morning

as though it were all fate for a type

of personality, all her will. And nothing to do with

the unseen ice on the road into the curve.

The Role of the IT Sector in Our Lives

Information technologies (IT) have become an integral part of human progress today. The use of IT solutions is increasing in every sphere of our lives. These technologies not only simplify daily tasks but also lead to economic, social, and cultural changes on a global scale. The rapid development of the IT sector affects all layers of modern society and takes processes like information exchange, education, production, and management to a completely new level.

The Role of IT in Everyday Life

Nowadays, everyone feels the convenience of IT through tools like smartphones, computers, and the internet. People communicate instantly via social networks and messengers, shop online, and access services remotely. It’s even possible to order food, pay bills, receive education, or get medical advice without leaving home. All of this is the result of IT development.

IT Technologies in Education

One of the greatest achievements of the IT sector is the transformation of the education system. Through e-textbooks, online courses, and distance learning platforms (such as Coursera, Udemy, Khan Academy), students from any part of the world can receive a quality education. This became especially important during the pandemic, which clearly demonstrated the crucial role of IT in education.

IT Applications in Healthcare

In the medical field, information about patients is stored electronically, and doctors can access necessary test results within seconds. Telemedicine, AI-assisted diagnosis, and surgical operations using robotic assistants are among the most advanced IT achievements in healthcare. These technologies make health services faster, more accurate, and safer.

IT Advancements in Business and Industry

Modern business and manufacturing are unimaginable without IT technologies. Automated systems, financial apps, CRM systems, and AI-based analytical tools help companies simplify operations and increase profits. The e-commerce market is rapidly expanding and becoming a key branch of the global economy.

Importance of Cybersecurity

With the growth of information technologies, security has become a pressing issue. Protecting personal data, ensuring the safety of financial transactions, and maintaining the stability of government systems make cybersecurity an essential area. Therefore, cybersecurity experts are in high demand today.

IT Opportunities for Youth

The IT sector opens wide opportunities for young people. Young professionals are building careers in areas such as programming, web design, artificial intelligence, network security, and data analytics — achieving success not only locally but also internationally. The internet allows for self-learning, acquiring knowledge, and launching startups, which is one of the major advantages of IT.

Conclusion

Information technologies are fundamentally transforming society. They bring convenience, speed, and efficiency to human life. The development of the IT sector is not only a technical achievement but also a driver of cultural and social progress. Therefore, every young person should strive to study this field deeply and use it effectively.

Sounds of Work

Works going on down the street.

I can’t see it, but there’s plenty

Of noise coming this way. There’s

The noise of machines and trucks

Coming and going – grinding and

Whirring and crunching, the usual

Sounds of men at work; no, better

Yet – the eternal sounds of work

Getting done. The gangs of slaves

Slaving over the pyramids must

Have sounded like this. All that

Sand and geometry playing out.

Or the sound of that day they built

Rome. The Colosseum alone must

Clamored, like this, for attention. 

I’m feeling what all those Pharaohs

And Emperors must have felt with

Noise playing out down their streets.

My gathering may be smaller, but

With all their machines and voices

Raised in the eternal workmen’s

Chorus about building, the sound

Must be almost the same.

         $50.20

The amount is there

Hanging in space.

I owe them

This amount.

It’s overdue.

I owe an overdue

Amount.

They’re sure I do.

This second notice

Seems serious.

They’ll offer a plan

To pay the amount

Over time

Monthly installments.

When I ask why I owe

This overdue amount

They become vague.

I just wonder

How I can owe and

They can’t tell me

Any details about

What they did or

What I might have done

To get this

Now overdue amount.

                   11:07

11:07 it says, even though 11:08

Is ready to pop up, a foregone

Conclusion. It does that, keeps

Moving up, moving along. It’s time

And never waits, is never polite

About the way it treats us. There

Once was the minute hand always

Sweeping along, chasing us as we

Made the best of what’s happening.

Now the numbers in the bottom left

Corner of the screen measure us

Push us, pull us, threaten us, cajole

Us, remind us, remind us of these

Numbers piling up. Am I late again?

Early? Then, what’s next to do, to be

Done? 11:07 is moving fast, is getting

Away, became 11:08, 09 …. While I

Was sitting here trying to still their

Shifting, their forever mounting up.

It’s now 11:26. 19 minutes have gone

By, disappeared into where I’m going

Moving into time, becoming part of

The past that’s kept carefully by my

Laptop, down in the left-hand corner

Just above the day/month/year that

I’m stuck in.

Mother

Mother, who puts me to sleep, 

The moonlight, 

The darkness disappears after receiving the caress of mother’s hand.

I listen to the story of mother’s face, 

In the land of the princess, 

I get lost in the dream, 

In that unknown land.

Mother, who is the smile on my face, 

The happiness that makes my mind forget, 

When I get mother near me, 

There is no more sorrow. 

Mother, who is full of my love

The bright green sheet,

I was born in my mother’s lap

All my love.

Mother is the language of my mouth

Mother is my land

Holding mother’s gentle hand

I walk with the happiness of my heart

WHO IS A FRIEND?

Just yesterday, I saw a question posed,

Asking for a definition of true friends.

I paused, lost in thought, considering my response,

Six letters came to mind, a word so grand.

What qualities define a genuine friend?

The question pierced my heart, sharp and profound.

Then, with sincere hope, I could finally contend,

A pure heart, noble intentions, all around.

In times of hardship, a true friend will seek,

To offer solace, a companion’s embrace.

Words fail to capture the qualities we speak,

The kind of comrade humanity would embrace.

I haven’t found what my heart truly desires,

A true friend, a figure like parents so dear.

This longing within my soul still transpires,

For a bond so strong, a friend always near.

The Golden Rule of Mechanics 

Lifting weight? Don’t strain, don’t fight— 

Work it smart, not just with might! 

Levers, pulleys, wheels in sync, 

Force will shift—just stop and think. 

Want to lift with ease and flow? 

Stretch the path, let distance grow! 

Push with less, but pay in space, 

That’s the rule—no more, no chase. 

No force comes for nothing gained, 

No motion moves till trade’s arranged. 

Push or pull—it’s give or take, 

Nature’s law—no bend, no break! 

Gears keep spinning, cold yet wise, 

Balance rules where chaos lies. 

One side falls, the other flies— 

Unchanging truth that never dies!
