Poetry from Mykyta Ryzhykh

*

my soul is with the devil in a collage
my soul is in the devil's college
my soul is on loan from angels
my loan is life
 

***

god came from a hyperlink

click me

erase me

cleanse me

cut me

take my insides out

I am Gods chitin

I am the stone of God

 

***

paper guards

life page borders

who keeps every comma 

of the tree before this tree is 

turned into a blueprint 

and filled with inkblots?

a cut of a gnawed pencil that burns like a torch in the night

 

***

little white monkeys 

even they will one day 

become corpses

the rain is falling on us all

long live the rain for all

 

***

forest silence jewelry

drops of tears on the leaves

what autumn sadness is silent about

 

***

heart pattern

myopia feelings

heart throwback

butterfly feet bird hands

we were born under a common sky

 

***

this boy is quiet as an angel

this boy is as quiet as the devil

 

the chitin of memories is buried in the meat grinder of touch

we leave life like non-existent stones on the banks

tide of wave on the chest

blood rushed to the veins of сhrist



***

little boy hanging on the branches of a tree

he hangs attached by eyelashes to the firmament

his eyelids are marked by welding

his heart is in my hands

my hands are buried in the ground on which there is no foundation




***

the teacher tells the children

look this is our planet earth here we all live

and this is our homeland for it we die



***

hedgehogs turned 

into 

ashtrays for the Lord 

after artillery



***

stone eye of death

infinity envelope

unconsciousness of life

- Dante wrote about something else



***

the scale of hatred overflows glasses with champagne

happy new year in the hell of a summer evening



***

said done the moon fell and rolled into the river

now no one else will see naked people clinging to pistols at night


trees grow

bloom flowers

dogs mate

the moon has fallen


the moon crashed like air on a saucer

and now there is hardly any difference between you and me


between you and me in the dark do not notice the difference

did you really need to drown the moon to understand this


In the dark

no one will see our love

In the dark

no one will believe in our love


moonlight

no one saw our love

moonlight

no one believed in our love


why did you drown the moon in the river

why did you bring me to the river now?






***


The noise that doesn't exist

Nobody came this time

As always


We have no choice but to let our shadows out into the street so that they knock on our door.


Knocking on the door sounds full of desperation

It is clear that no one is there

Obviously no one will come


***

Do you remember you and I were lying around like the skins of peeled holiday fruits, but it doesn’t matter

It doesn't matter that the fake cotton wool of my destructive methods of existence has long been drowned in you

It doesn't matter that your golden maple crown has succumbed to the erosion of metal and has long sprouted in me

You and I are one common outsider's view of two identical things that are trying their best to be alike.

You and I have long been ordered and sold out

Two completely different books by the same author


***

Roses turn pink

Glasses turn pink

Life turns pink


the blood is still red














Essay from Adhamova Laylo Akmaljon qizi 

A television (TV) or mirror is an electronic device that receives television signals and converts them into images and sounds.
    Braun HF 1 TV, released in Germany in 1959.


Television (tele… and Latin viso – I look) is a radio-electronic device designed to receive, amplify and convert electrical signals (telesignals) of television broadcasts transmitted from a television studio into images and sounds. There are colored and plain, stationary and portable types.

The electrical signals distributed from the television center are caught by the receiving antenna and transmitted to the television through the cable. In this case, the vibrations are amplified, separated into image and sound signals, and then transmitted to the kinescope and radio speaker. A television raster is created on the kinescope screen by means of generators (line spreading and frame spreading generators). On a white TV, picture signals appear as black and light elements.

Depending on the number of programs that can be received, televisions have one, three, five, twelve, thirty-one and other channels. Television channels operating in the meter wave range are used for reception. To receive programs in the decimeter range, a separate device – a converter – is placed on televisions. It receives a decimeter signal and adapts its frequency to the frequency of the first, second or other television channel.

The structure of televisions is standardized. Their simplified scheme consists of a channel switching unit, video and audio channels, synchronization channels, a spreading unit and a power supply unit. TV studios broadcast several programs at the same time. To see what they need, a tuning block is used on the TV. This unit is connected to a high frequency amplifier. Since video and sound signals are transmitted at different frequencies, after amplification of these signals, high-frequency vibrations are separated and go on different independent channels. Sound signal vibrations fall on the sound block. In the image unit, the detector extracts image signals from high-frequency vibrations.

The structure of color televisions is more complex, they differ from standard televisions with a color channel block and a color kinescope. The color television system will have 3 channels. The monochrome constituents red (Q), blue (K) and cyan (3) are mixed in a color mixer and then passed to the transmitter modulator. The vibrations are again divided into 3 frequency channels (Q, K and 3) in the receiver and passed to the color kinescope.

According to quality parameters, screen size and ease of use, televisions are divided into 4 classes: I – III class – stationary TVs, IV class – portable (portable) TVs. Usually, the TV is made of separate structural blocks, widely used printed assembly. Semiconductor devices, integrated boards, and transistors are mainly used in televisions. Televisions with flat screens and electroluminescent, very large and small screens have been created.

Poetry from Sayani Mukherjee

Pink

I have heard Paris is beautiful in May
Two lost cards that find
A perfect geometric strength
It then carves a niche 
Mon Amor it says that always says 
Pink is loveliest of all
Beautiful Strange Goodness
Colours have their own homes too
Just as my paper knife 
A little too pink for it 
Isn't so? 
A child may notice
Children notice everything
A change in smile
They are the big apples 
Do this do that 
We are grown ups 
Still pink is loveliest of all
Home Goodness Flowers 
I still think Paris is most beautiful in May 
The ribboned dress 
The little paper towns 
They all go to a merry go round
All pinkish flame in the snowbound home
I still love Pink
My home my mon amor. 

Essay from Diyora Umarkulova

The status of English as a Germanic language and the large influence of Romance language on English 

English has a place to the Anglo-Frisian subgroup of the West Germanic department of the Germanic languages, through which it is portion of the Indo-European dialect family. Like other Germanic dialects, English is characterized by the utilize of modular verbs, which isolated verbs into solid and powerless subgroups, and by the halt consonant move known as Grimm’s law.  The English dialect emerged from the Germanic tongues of the North Ocean, which started to be broadly utilized with the resettlement of Germanic pilgrims to the British Isles from the domains of the advanced Netherlands, northwestern Germany and Denmark. The similitude of German and English is clarified by the common beginning of these dialects from the lingos of the antiquated Germanic tribes.

Borrowings from other dialects came to English in different authentic periods. To date, the overall number of non-borrowed words within the English dialect is almost 20-30%. Most of the borrowings are words of Sentiment beginning, which is due to authentic reasons. Even before the settlement of Germanic tribes, Points, Saxons and Jutes within the British Isles, there were exchange relations between these tribes and the Romans, which cleared out a few follows within the dialects of these tribes. The borrowings of this period, which is commonly called the primary period of Latin borrowings, reflect the nature of social, financial and military relations between Roman and Germanic tribes. Modern words ordinarily express unused concepts that emerged in association with the presentation to the higher culture of the Roman individuals of this period. Such borrowings incorporate the taking after words: harbour (Lat. portus), cycene (kitcen) from Lat. coquina, flute player (pepper) from Lat. Flute player and others.

Documentary Analysis of film ‘’Before Stonewall’’

Introduction (History of Before Stonewall)

A documentary film called “Before Stonewall” looks at the history of the LGBTQ+ community in the US before the Stonewall riots of 1969. The movie includes interviews with LGBTQ+ people who discuss their personal hardships and experiences growing up when homosexuality was stigmatized as a mental disease and outlawed in many places. The early history of the LGBTQ+ rights movement and the numerous social and political developments that led to it are also covered in the movie. In addition to highlighting the injustices and persecution that the LGBTQ+ community endured prior to the Stonewall riots, the movie promotes acceptance and acknowledgement of LGBTQ+ rights. It highlights the tenacity and bravery of LGBTQ+ people who stood up for their rights and set the path for ensuing generations. Overall, the movie gives the LGBTQ+ rights movement a historical backdrop and illuminates the struggles and achievements of the community prior to Stonewall. In this article, I try to analyze the characters and actions in film, logic and emotions of filmmakers. Also, in the end, I provide my own impressions that I gave and feel from this film.

Characters and events in film

As I watched the film, I was able to find some connections to the film and to our current society. Below I will try to explain each of these points.

First and main one is individuals. By this I mean, The movie includes interviews with LGBTQ+ people who discuss their personal problems and experiences growing up in a time when homosexuality was demonized and illegal. The LGBTQ+ community is given a human face, and the prejudice and brutality they experienced are brought to light. Also, the film covers the early LGBTQ+ rights movement, including organizations like the Mattachine Society and the Daughters of Bilitis. These groups played a crucial role in advocating for LGBTQ+ rights and laying the groundwork for future activism.

Secondly, the Stonewall riots. By examining the social and political issues that contributed to the Stonewall riots, the movie places them in their historical perspective. The riots were important because they ushered in a new era of action for LGBTQ+ rights and marked a turning point in the movement.

Last but not least is homosexuality as a mental illness. The American Psychiatric Association defined homosexuality as a mental disease up until 1973, as the movie emphasizes. This part of society is important because it demonstrates how entrenched prejudices against LGBTQ+ people formerly were. Moreover, the movie shows the frequent police raids on gay bars and clubs, which were frequently used as a justification to detain gay people. This social phenomenon is important because it demonstrates the systematic violence and prejudice that the LGBTQ+ community experienced.

Appeals to logic, emotion and prejudice by filmmakers

The filmmakers support their case for acceptance and acknowledgement of LGBTQ+ rights with historical information and expert interviews. They emphasize the pre-Stonewall discriminatory laws and regulations as well as the activism that aided in their reform. In order to persuade viewers of the truth of their claim, the filmmakers give a logical case supported by historical data. The film also plays on viewers’ emotions by including personal accounts and interviews with LGBTQ+ people. The interviews highlight the hardships and accomplishments of the LGBTQ+ community as well as the psychological effects of violence and discrimination. This emotive appeal aims to connect viewers with LGBTQ+ people’s experiences by fostering empathy and understanding in them. The movie also shows the prejudice and discrimination LGBTQ+ people experienced prior to Stonewall. The producers hope to help viewers reevaluate their own biases and prejudices towards the LGBTQ+ community by drawing attention to the systemic discrimination and violence against LGBTQ+ people. The purpose of this appeal to prejudice is to encourage the audience to examine their prejudices and take steps to promote greater inclusion and acceptance.

Conclusion (my recommendations and opinion)

The significant documentary “Before Stonewall” provides background information on the American LGBTQ+ rights struggle. The movie focuses light on the social and political issues that influenced the birth of the LGBTQ+ rights movement and depicts the hardships and victories of the LGBTQ+ community prior to the Stonewall riots. A personal and emotional link to the experiences of the community throughout a period of prejudice and violence is made through the interviews with LGBTQ+ people. The movie also shows how pervasive before Stonewall were biases and prejudices against LGBTQ+ people.

In conclusion, “Before Stonewall” is a thought-provoking, educational and I highly recommend to people to watch this. Because, movie can be a great resource for anybody who are interested in LGBTQ+ history and rights. It can be especially beneficial for people who seek to have a deeper knowledge of the experiences and hardships of the LGBTQ+ community prior to the Stonewall riots. But also, I would like to mention that, the movie might not be appropriate for all viewers, though, given the delicate nature of the subject matter. Therefore, before recommending the movie, it is crucial to take the audience’s tastes and sensitivities into account.

IN THE SKY OF DREAMS 

    A person should set a goal for himself/herself in life... Some people set a small goal for themselves: buying a new phone, going on vacation, others for a bigger one: a million dollar turnover per month. Plans such as creating a business or building a house for his family. Some people dream of unattainable things: solving the problem of poverty in the country, living in space. That's why you should have enough intelligence to set a goal that matches your strength.

   "The goal must be to achieve happiness, otherwise the fire will not roar enough, the driving force will not be powerful enough - therefore, success will not be fully achieved," - says Theodore Dreiser.

  In fact, if a person has set a goal for himself, he should devote all his energy to it and avoid all other distractions.

      Each of you has your own place in life. The main thing for us is your desire to speak. Among the invited guests, we can see that you are more enthusiastic than others. Don't forget, it all depends on you! It's time to show yourself!

      We invite you to the world of fear! This world will be a testing world for you. In this, you will test your ability, your ability to get out of the situation in the face of difficulties and your readiness for drastic actions!

 And we will show you the ways to skillfully get out of various difficult situations and make impossible things possible. And you just move forward!

 There are people who leave the world without a dream. Such people do not swim like fish, on the contrary, the current carries them. Therefore, in the beautiful garden called life, dream of growing a flower that amazes the world with its fragrance.

    As you walk towards the goal, the difficulty increases as you get closer. So, if you have set a great goal, you will achieve it with perseverance and beautiful patience. After all, the key to achieving the goal is hard work, patience and research.
