“Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening”

Randall Thompson’s “Frostiana” is a choral cycle based on the poems of Robert Frost. The cycle consists of settings for mixed chorus and piano, and it was premiered in 1959. “Frostiana” was commissioned to celebrate the bicentennial of the town of Amherst, Massachusetts, and it features seven of Frost’s poems set to music by Thompson.

“Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” is one of the poems included in the “Frostiana” cycle. The composition captures the reflective and contemplative mood of Frost’s poem, where the narrator pauses to admire the beauty of a snowy evening in a quiet forest. Randall Thompson’s musical setting adds another layer to Frost’s words, enhancing the emotional impact of the poem.

Thompson’s approach in “Frostiana” is characterized by its accessibility and tonal clarity. His settings aim to convey the meaning and atmosphere of Frost’s poetry through the expressive power of choral music. The entire “Frostiana” cycle is a celebration of both Thompson’s skill as a composer and Frost’s enduring contribution to American literature.

By Robert Frost

This is one of my favourite English poems. It is vivid, melancholic, and wistful. The imagery and the final lines have stuck with me for years.

Diwali at Stanford Dining

Diwali, the Festival of Lights celebrated in India, features a delightful array of traditional foods. Sweets like ‘gulab jamun,’ deep-fried dough soaked in sugar syrup, and ‘jalebi,’ spiral-shaped saffron-scented pastries, are ubiquitous. ‘Ladoo,’ sweet gram flour balls, and ‘barfi,’ a milk-based fudge, are also popular. Savory treats include ‘namkeen’ like ‘chakli’ and ‘mathri,’ crispy snacks, along with ‘samosas’ and ‘pakoras,’ fried dumplings filled with various fillings.
Families often exchange these delectable creations and offer them as offerings to deities, symbolizing the triumph of light over darkness and the spirit of togetherness during this joyous festival.

Seeds of Prosperity

שנה טובה

Pomegranates hold special significance in Jewish New Year celebrations, also known as Rosh Hashanah. The association between pomegranates and Rosh Hashanah comes from the tradition of incorporating symbolic foods into the holiday meal, each of which carries a special meaning. Pomegranates are one of these symbolic foods, and they are typically used in various ways to represent different aspects of the holiday:

Seeds of Prosperity: Pomegranates are often seen as a symbol of abundance, fertility, and prosperity. The many seeds inside the fruit are thought to represent the abundance of good deeds and mitzvot (commandments) that one hopes to perform in the coming year. Eating pomegranates on Rosh Hashanah is seen as an expression of the wish for a fruitful and prosperous year ahead.

Sweetness and Renewal: On Rosh Hashanah, it is customary to eat sweet foods to symbolize the desire for a sweet and pleasant year. Pomegranate seeds are sweet and juicy, making them a natural choice for this purpose. Some people dip pomegranate seeds in honey, further emphasizing the desire for sweetness and a sweet New Year.

Symbolic Blessings: Pomegranates are often included on the holiday table as a decorative element. Their vibrant red color is associated with the renewal of life and the hope for a good year. Pomegranate-shaped decorations or even pomegranate-themed dishes and tableware are commonly used during Rosh Hashanah celebrations.

Traditional Blessings: In some Jewish communities, it is customary to recite a special blessing when eating pomegranates on Rosh Hashanah. The blessing expresses the hope for a year filled with good deeds and blessings, just as the pomegranate is filled with seeds.

Blockchain Tokens for Food Traceability

Integrating Blockchain, Smart Contract-Tokens, and IoT to Design a Food Traceability Solution

IEEE Computing and Communication International Conference and Workshop on Information Technology, Electronics and Mobile Communication

Abstract: Information asymmetry exists amongst stakeholders in the current food supply chain. Lack of standardization in data format, lack of regulations, and siloed, legacy information systems exasperate the problem. Global agriculture trade is increasing creating a greater need for traceability in the global supply chain. This paper introduces Harvest Network, a theoretical end-to-end, vis a vie “farm-to-fork”, food traceability application integrating the Ethereum blockchain and IoT devices exchanging GS1 message standards. The goal is to create a distributed ledger accessible for all stakeholders in the supply chain. Our design effort creates a basic framework (artefact) for building a prototype or simulation using existing technologies and protocols [1]. The next step is for industry practitioners and researchers to apply AGILE methods for creating working prototypes and advanced projects that bring about greater transparency.
