Wool Caps On The Worktable


Posted by Picasa

아내의 작업대 위에서 이루어지는 일들은 많다.
압화양초 만들기, 털실 뜨개질, 가방이나 커턴 재봉,
자수향낭 만들기, ---
세월을 뛰어넘는 아내의 손길에서 삶의 깊이를 읽는다.

털실모자 세개는 워싱턴에 사는 아들 내외와 손녀에게 보낼
크리스마스 선물이다.

The Town I Loved So Well



In my memory I will always see
The town that I have loved so well
Where our school played ball by the gasyard wall
And we laughed through the smoke and smell.
Going home in the rain running up the dark lane
Past the jail and down beside the fountain
Those were happy days in so many many ways
In the town I loved so well.

In the early morn the shirt factory horn
Called women from Creggan, the Moor and the Bog
While the men on the dole played a mothers role
Fed the children and then walked the dog
And when times got rough, there was just about enough
But they saw it through without complaining
For deep inside was a burning pride
For the town I loved so well.

There was music there in the Derry air
Like a language that we could all understand
I remember the day when I earned my first pay
As I played in a small pickup band
There I spent my youth and to tell you the truth
I was sad to leave it all behind me
For I'd learned about life and I'd found a wife
In the town I loved so well.

But when I returned how my eyes were burned
To see how a town could be brought to it's knees
By the armoured cars and the bombed out bars
And the gas that hangs on to every breeze
Now the army's installed by that old gasyard wall
And the damned barbed wire gets higher and higher
With their tanks and guns,oh my God,what have they done
To the town I loved so well.

Now the music's gone but they carry on
For their spirit's been bruised, never broken
Oh, they'll not forget still their hearts are set
On tomorrow and peace once again
Now what's done is done and what's won is won
And what's lost is lost and gone forever
I can only pray for a bright brand new day
In the town I loved so well.

A Feeling Of Joy And Sorrow

첫 눈이 제법 많이 내린다
아름다운 모습이다.

이 풍경을 어머니는 이제 보시지 못한다.

HAWOO HOUSE












하람과 우교의 집.
이른 아침 깨어나 싱그러운 햇살을 받고있다.

하우의 집 설계기준 ;
_지붕으로 하늘을 보아야 한다.
_떨어지는 빗소리와 스쳐가는 바람소리를 들어야 한다.

Snow Of Regrets



Posted by Picasa

며칠 째 포근한 날씨에 겨우내 얼었던 땅이 녹은 듯하여
폭설에 쓰러져 있던 자두나무를 일으켜 세웠다.
뿌리가 많이 상해 앙상하리 만큼 가지치기를 했다.
그 위에 다시 눈이 내린다 살며시_ 미안하다는 듯이.

At The Riverside Of Ohio



The Slave Ship _Joseph Mallord William Turner, 1840

지금 이 시각 지구 반대 편 미국에서는 Barak Obama 의 취임식이
시작되고 있을 것이다.

끝없이 펼쳐진 Illinois 들판에 서서 '눈길이 닿는 곳까지 농사를
짓는다' 는 말에 '씨는 비행기로 뿌린다지만 수확은 다 누가 하느냐'고
물으니 그냥 멋없이 '우리 가족' 이라고 답하던 미국인.
그 멋없음 뒤에 숨겨진 근면함이 좋다.
Ernest M. Hemingway 의 글이나 Andrew S. Roddick 의 Play 에서
느낄 수 있는 강렬한 간결함도 좋다.
미국에서는 지금 지구상의 거의 모든 인종이 모여서 거대한 인류적
실험을 하고 있다. 무엇 보다도 그 도전 정신이 좋다.

1976.11.10 , Evansville , Ohio 강가.
밤늦은 시각 나는 술집에서 홀로 술을 마시고 있었다.
' Paradise' 라는 선술집 이었는데 옆에서 당구를 치던 젊은 흑인이
다가와 나를 자기 동네 파티에 초대하겠단다.
흑인 동네 였고, 여자 Softball 게임에 우승하여 열린 파티 였다.
점심을 먹으면서 공장장 ( Bucyrus-Erie Co. ) 에게 그 이야기를
했었는데 , 일정을 안내하던 친구가 그에게 불려가 몹시 혼이 났다고
들었다.
William Turner 가 ' 노예선' 을 그린지 백 수십년이 지났지만
흑백의 골은 깊었다.

이제 오늘의 Obama 가 있게한 미국인에게서 이 인류적 실험의
성공 가능성을 본다.
Obama 의 ' Middle Class Task Force' 가 흑백의 함정에서 벗어나
한 차원 높이 작동되기를 기대한다.

Moving Average Convergence / Divergence




MACD, which stands for Moving Average Convergence / Divergence, is a technical analysis indicator created by Gerald Appel in the 1960s. It shows the difference between a fast and slow exponential moving average (EMA) of closing prices.
During the 1980s MACD proved to be a valuable tool for any trader. The standard periods recommended back in the 1960s
by Gerald Appel are 12 and 26 days:
MACD = EMA[12] of price - EMA[26] of price
A signal line (or trigger line) is then formed by smoothing this with a further EMA. The standard period for this is 9 days,
signal = EMA[9] of MACD
The difference between the MACD and the signal line is often calculated and shown not as a line, but a solid block histogram style. This construction was made by Thomas Aspray in 1986.
The calculation is simply
histogram = MACD − signal
The example graph above shows all three of these together.
The upper graph is the prices. The lower graph has the MACD
line in blue and the signal line in red. The solid white histogram style is the difference between them.
The set of periods for the averages, often written as say 12,26,9, can be varied. Appel and others have experimented with various combinations.

MACD is a trend following indicator, and is designed to identify trend changes. It's generally not recommended for use in ranging market conditions.
The signal line crossing is the usual trading rule. This is to buy when the MACD crosses up through the signal line, or sell when it crosses down through the signal line. These crossings may occur too frequently, and other tests may have to be applied.
The histogram shows when a crossing occurs. When the MACD line crosses through zero on the histogram it is said that the MACD line has crossed the signal line. The histogram can also help visualizing when the two lines are coming together. Both may still be rising, but coming together, so a falling histogram suggests a crossover may be approaching.
A crossing of the MACD line up through zero is interpreted as bullish, or down through zero as bearish. These crossings are of course simply the original EMA(12) line crossing up or down through the slower EMA(26) line.
Positive divergence between MACD and price arises when price makes a new selloff low, but the MACD doesn't make a new low (i.e. it remains above where it fell to on that previous price low). This is interpreted as bullish, suggesting the downtrend may be nearly over. Negative divergence is the same thing when rising (i.e. price makes a new rally high, but MACD doesn't rise as high as before), this is interpreted as bearish.
Divergence may be similarly interpreted on the price versus the histogram, where the new price levels are not confirmed by new histogram levels. Longer and sharper divergences (distinct peaks or troughs) are regarded as more significant than small shallow patterns in this case.
It is recommended to look at a MACD on a weekly scale before looking at a daily scale to avoid making short term trades against the direction of the intermediate trend.
Sometimes it is prudent to apply a price filter to the Bullish Moving Average Crossover to ensure that it will hold. An example of a price filter would be to buy if MACD breaks above the 9-day EMA and remains above for three days. The buy signal would then commence at the end of the third day.
