For the dream I dare to hope
Calm, I keep my peace.
Serenity, a moment untouched,
Untainted by the sanity of life,
Protected from the poison of heartbreak.
Divided, my fickle mind stands,
Pulled on the side of slumber.
Awaken, I dream,
Worlds of love and plunder.
If the dreamers of the day,
Are dangerous as they say,
Then for a reason good I fear my mind,
For the sweet embrace it cries.
Then again sleep eludes me,
Fearful of what I might find,
As the dreams I get awake,
Even those ones make me cry.
POW: The hard part of fitting in
Recently someone told me I take this too seriously, that I post too much stuff, work too hard on new material. Perhaps they are right. Perhaps in this new and still very uncharted waters I foolishly try to overcompensate the lack of my experience by doing more, always more. I push myself to the extreme, because when in that rare occurrence when I invest myself I always go to the far extreme, writing till early hours on the new book, preparing new materials for the site and getting the lack of sleep and energy for it after I push myself to the breaking point just to be sometimes disappointed by the lack of even response. When did I start to do things for the occasional like? I forgot the very essence of writing, the one rule, THE rule… don't write for people, write for yourself. But not saying in some kind of manner that I am not enjoying my writing or that I do not agree with my written words. No! I am merely saying is it OK to push yourself to that ledge just because we feel or tend to think we would be more happier if we immediately "make it"? Why is it that we push that burden of stress on our back that we have to be cemented in a new endeavour as soon as we set sail in it? Is it just fear? Or perhaps is it more? Fear of failure? Perhaps… Or our own shame that we won't be just good enough as we would like. Perhaps I tend to do things bit more extremely just because I feel like if I don't do all at once, push myself to the max, I won't be good. But in the process of burning out I feel like losing the one unique strain every writer leaves in his work that makes it special.
The one in the friend group
Ever been that one person in the friend group who just want to talk about writing and books? And when you do they look at your like OK weirdo don't be boring and they immediately switch the topic? Damn I need some new mates… But all jokes aside I love them, but there are instant moments of hate, especially when they introduce me to new people. Mind you I am an introvert, true and true, but what makes the situation more difficult is when they say something in the line of "Yea, he is writing stuff…" Whoever was introduced to someone as any form of a writer you know the question that comes after. "Nice, so what do you write about?" No one, and I mean no one, in their sane mind is standing there while you narrate your whole WIP. They expect a quick summary of two sentences where you have to jam in the twist, total character motivation and growth, getting them hooked in right in those two minutes. Honestly when put in that situation I feel like I am live querying. If they don't think I am weird by that point they will when I start blabbering about my work for a hour.
All fantasy based on real life?
One of the things I heard and a thing I am told a lot is that the fantasy I write Is based on real life. Then is it fantasy at all? Sure my mates recognise themselves in some aspects of my work, be it in a character I described (and killed off early) or be it in a plot that is very similar to something that occurred in our life. But let's be honest, every work, be it even a fragment of it, is based on us, on our life, it is the unique piece of us that we put in our work that makes it unique, that makes it distinctively different from other authors.
I feel like no one is listening
Like I pointed out last week, I am beginning to feel like no one is out there. True, the introvert in me always pulled the brakes on most of things I want to post or reply to people. Ever saw someone's post, thought of a funny reply, wrote it and just stood there watching the words you typed and thought "Did I really think this would be funny?" And like most of my replies it ends up being deleted. So just so you know there were many funny and witty responses you were deprived of. But even when I get the courage to post something, ask a thing or trying to be witty, all I get is well… crickets. I swear you can feel the empty space of vacuum that fills the silence when I try to reach out. OK perhaps I am overreacting a bit, but you have to admit it, that sometimes most of us haven't thought that writing would be about these things. Reaching out to an audience that isn't mostly there, promoting your work that a lot of people won't even see. Whoever said that writing a book would be the easiest part really was onto something. It just makes you doubt, about you, about your own ability and I would lie if I said I don't have moments thinking of giving up. It's one thing creating your own world and characters and an other facing the real one.
Writing a book is the easiest part of it…
Still out here
I am trying. Like most of you I assume. I know, we all have problems to face, battles to fight and you think your struggle is unique and special, as no one feels like you, but when you look more closely and see that there are million people who feel like you do, it takes away a bit from your own battle as now you know the fight you face is not that special. Bit in that shattering realisation you gain strength, knowledge that you ain't alone. I am still trying, still fighting the notion of giving up, just wishing my words don't end up in the emptiness of the void, wishing that at least the only response I get ain't the echo of my own voice. Still somehow here,
Harry.
Ymir's legacy (P.T.2)
Getting through the huge cracks in the external barrier made Hellnar think even more about what could had caused that kind of damage. Was the Bone Crusher right all along? Did the gods punish them, exiling them from Midgard? The walls were huge, it would make one think only giants could manage to build such monstrosities. But whoever did put them there, what happened to them? Where are they now? Did someone kill them all? Perhaps whoever could brake these fortifications proved to be more then a match. Whatever dwells here now might be their reckoning.
The land beyond the wall was different. Even if it was mostly covered in snow, it reeked of death. The chilling embrace was not caused by the falling temperatures, but rather by the dreary feeling that enveloped these lands. It was filled with questions that they did not know how to answer. The high snow fell on most of the structures that were beyond the wall, burying them down, creating a graveyard of a once great nation. What little that was left, stuck out from the white dust, soaring into the air. It seemed no matter how harsh were the elements in their effort to erase this place, it still fought back, as some structures were intact from the snow, still accessible from land. The group looked in awe to the sunken city of ice. Beyond the wall, as far as the eye could reach, a clear view that this was no mere city, but a proud and advance nation that held this area. Strange pillars with spikes and cords struck out of the ground, soaring high into the air. Surrounding the group as they followed their curiosity inland, were these massive rubbles of steel and all sorts of unknown metal. Feki, allowing his curiosity to get the better of him, broke off from them, running away towards the few buildings that they could get in. "Where does this fool go now?", Orm said getting the attentionof the party as everyone turned towards Feki who got lost beyond the metal pillars that stood in front of a giant building that was half sunk into the snow, but still revealing its door to all. "We shouldn't split up. Not now. Aldur! Stay with your idiot of a brother and make sure he doesn't get himself killed. Yet… Rest of you lets move on forward, perhaps we will find some luck and some supplies. Night is bound to find this place as well. No matter how much this land is lost. Shelter would be nice too. And don't touch anything, for Odin's sake!" Hellnar shouted at the Bone Crusher, who laid his hand on a metal chunk that fell to the ground, but as soon as Hellnar raised his voice, the mountain of a man pulled his hand back to himself, as if he wasn't twice the size of his leader, rather feeling like a small child scolded as if his mother caught him eating her fresh apple pie.
While others were bickering about what to do next, Feki marveled in the architecture of this place, daydreaming what wonders lived here, how this place was in its prime.
He strayed far enough, finding a perfectly preserved ruin. With half of it missing, the other half was in pristine condition, allowing the young warrior to enter. He found it strange, as there was no furniture, the half building that was missing resembled a sword cut, as if a humongous blade cut it in half. As Feki dwelled further in, all he could find was a big white boulder just sitting in the middle of one room. The stone was strange, as it was cold on touch, feeling more like a cold metal than if you would put your hand in snow. On it just a small black curricular mirror in which Feki saw his reflection. It amused the young pup, as he watched himself in it. As he touched it, the black mirror suddenly turned bright red, the boulder released a dreadful sound, as if someone blew the war horn and it moved. The stone was alive, it stretched and four legs came out of it and before Feki a metal beast with legs and a mouth appeared.
It was hard to explain, a wolf in metal armor was the closest thought that went to his mind, as firstly it moved its head, observing him. Feki pulled his sword forth ready to defend himself, but the iron wolf just stood there, moving only his head back and forth. Feki's heart punted so fast, as calm left him, being replaced by panic and fear. His left foot fumbled, making him almost fall on his back as he wanted to gain distance from the beast. As his leg suddenly went down, the wolf moved with astonishing speed.
A loud cry could be heard through, filling the chilling air. "What was that?", Orm asked as he looked around for the source of the cry. "Where is Feki?" As soon as Helnar asked, Aldur rushed sprinting. The rest followed closely behind and as they made just few yards from where they originally were, a gruesome shight greeted them. The metal beast, with a glowing red eye, bright as the sun itself, slowly stepped forth, holding the top of Feki's mutilated body. The blood was still fresh, dripping on the cold snow below. Aldur's eyes filled with rage and tears, seeing his brother's body desecrated. He released a piercing battle cry and without thought, with his axe held high, charged the beast.
As he lunged forward, the beast without too much effort evaded him, quickly moving to the side. It dropped its trophy, as the torso rolled down its mouth, now with all focus on Aldur, it circled around him. The rest just watched in shock, not understanding what has happened. The beast was something from stories, but no moment was wasted as they all went to aid their comrade. Aldur went forth once again, now successfully hitting the beast. But as his axe touched its cold skin, it just broke in pieces. The iron of the wolf was much harder then their steel, rendering their weapons unless. The beast tried to bite Aldur, but before it could even reach him, the others engaged, just to be greeted by the same outcome. Their blades cracked and broke as the wolf pushed Orm away, sending him flying into the air. Its sole focus was on Aldur, as it slowly stepped forward to his pray. But the giant of a man he was, the Bone Crusher clenched the beast, grabbing its jaw. But it knocked Olaf down to the ground and bit off his hand. As it came to finish the job, it bit the stump of the bleeding arm, holding it and while it was in the wolf's jaws, Olaf with all his might punched the red eye, embedding his fist into it, pulling the strings that were inside.
As he retracted his fist, the wolf released again the sound of a horn, tumbling to the side and withering away, becoming lifeless and motionless. Olaf held his bleeding wound, where once his arm was, as the others came. Helnar quickly made a fire, commanding his men to hold the Bone Crusher as he burned the stump, stopping the bleeding. Olaf didn't even flinch as his breath was deep.
Aldur mourned and cried over his dead brothers body, or what was left of it. Orm grabbed him, trying to pull him away. "NO! Let me be with him! Let me be with my brother!", he shouted, fighting the old man se he tried to escape his grasp. "It's all right lad… He is gone… Your brother is gone.." Orm tried to condole the young warrior. But he just knleeded on the bloodied snow, crying. Fear filled Helnar's heart, as he was now sure… This is not Midgard, only death awaits him and his men here.
As the men gathered around, lifting Olaf and Aldur, through the land a sorrowful sound pierced the air. Same as the wolf's, as if someone blew a horn, but now louder and bigger. One after the other it continued to blow, shaking the ground, vibrating it, moving the very snow beneath the Vikings feet. As the fearful sound came closer with every other horn, there, in the distance, a big shape could be seen, a shadow beneath the fog.

Live, die, repeat: Ymir's legacy P.T.1
The ship couldn't last much longer. The last punch that the ice made almost broke the hull, making the weary and tired men dump the excess of water out. Hellnar knew the old bucket won't float for much longer, and that land should be imminent. If not they will meet their fate at the cold grip of the sea and by Odin, that was no good death. Many moons had passed since they set out to find the rich lands of the west, but instead they found a storm that destroyed four ships that were with them, and what was left of his men, the cold took already. 40 they were when they had set sail, now only mere 5 remain. The brothers, Feki and Aldur, the old man Orm and Olaf the Bone Crusher. And him. Son of a great warrior, wanting to fill the shoes his old man left, desperately needing to escape his shadow, he accepted to lead them to glory, towards new lands, new riches, new glory. But look how it all turned out. He lost most of his army, and what's left of his ship is barely hanging by a threat. "Land!" Someone yelled. Finally they will get rid of this snowy terrain, escape this ice, and seek glory among the green pastures of the western lands.
All of the remaining men came to the bow, standing in excitement, as they broke through the thick mist. The land of the green shall be theirs, shortly after so much loss and suffering, their blades shall bask in the blood of the enemy, taking the riches of the unknown land, shortly the long journey shall be over. But as the bow of the ship had cut through the mist, another cloud would appear, then again another. As if the uncovered vail was infinite, never ending. But they didn't despair. They were certain of their destination, as the dark smudge of the land was still on the horizon, even if they couldn't see it clearly. Their patience prevailed, but still after so long on the open sea, some of them were eager to embrace the hard solid soil. "Come on, come on…", young Feki nervously tapped his feet on the wooden floor, wanting the ship to sail faster then it already was. But Feki spoke what everyone was thinking. They were all anxious, nervous and eager to get off this wooden coffin, knowing it was by sheer luck and by the choice of Odin, that they were picked to live while watching their comrades drown and die from starvation and winter. Even if they wanted to shout and scream, they were warriors, leaving the nervousness to the younger pups. As the ship finally broke from the thick mist, to their dreadful surprise, they were greeted by something completely different then the promised green lands they were told about. A land of ice and snow, stretching far as the eye could see, with hills steep and unforgiving, making them fall to their knees. "No…", Feki sighted under his breath. Another struggle after the already hard fought journey. There was nothing left but to pull the ship on the uninviting shores.
The wind blew chunks of the ice from the surface, carrying it to the sea. As the ship gave its last efforts , the crew jumped out, knowing there was no going back. Hellnar, leader of now what was left, stepped first on the frozen ground of the new shores they would suppose to call home. Knowing that they would only find their end here, no riches or glory, he got down on his knee, holding his blade to the ground. "Allfather, the one who shapes worlds and holds our destiny, please hear my voice. My men had suffered great loss and pain, only to be greeted by a land even harsher then our own. Even if the gold and silver we were promised elude us, don't let these men die in vain like their brothers. I beg you. If all fails, don't take the destiny from these people, my people, to earn a chance to sit by your side…" As Hellnar prayed to the Allfather, his men strolled around these strange land, looking around in hopes of finding life. But to no avail. It was an uninhabitable land, only filled with ice, snow and rock. Most of it was flat to the side, so they easily saw in the distance the nothingness that it had to offer. All except few hard rocky hills that stood before them, only ice was their companion. Ice and the death it brought with it. Orm stood by his leader, waiting for him to finish his prays so he could advise with Hellnar about their next step. Aldur, the more mature and calmer individual out of the two brothers, tried his best to calm his hot headed brother who out of sheer rage took his sword and swung it around hitting the snow. "In the name of the Aesir, what are you doing?", he asked his younger brother. But Feki, with steaming blood in his eyes continued to hit the ground in sheer rage. "Would you stop it? Stop!", Aldur held his brother, hugging him, preventing the young warrior to continue his fight. "We will die here…", Feki said, "After that fucking storm, eating the maggots that infested our food and watching our friends die out of the unbearable cold, we will meet the same fate. For what did we endure? What did we do to earn this… this cruel joke? Shouldn't we fight the westerners by now? Being bothered by the hot sun on our face, the smell of fresh grass? Not shivering by this fucking cold!" As he finished he broke form his brothers grip, looking at the ground for a few seconds, then like from the dream, he quickly broke concentration, focusing on Hellnar, who was still kneeling, holding his sword. "You…", Feki pointed at Hellnar as he walked to him. "This… all of this is your fault. You were suppose to lead us to the new lands. But you disrespected the Gods and now we are all being punished for it!" He came close to Hellnar, when Orm pulled out his sword, ready to fight the much younger man. "Watch your tongue little boy… one more word out of you and I will make you mute!" Feki just laughed at the sight of the elder, not seeing him as a threat. "Really now old man? What are you going to do about it? You are the one who should watch it! I am not sure your hips can handle a proper sword fight!" But Orm just laughed at the boy, being amused by his words. "Aye. I might be old. But if you do not fear a man who watched young fools just like you die all his life and most I had cut down myself, then you will indulge me by teaching you that even an old wolf still has teeth sharp." Feki was furious, allowing his anger get the better of him, as he pulled his sword high, ready to strike Orm down where he stood. But even before Orm could act, Feki's sword was blocked by Hellnar, who in two swoop moves disarmed Feki in such speed and strength, that the boy was left stunned and shocked. Knocking his blade to the ground, Hellnar looked at the shocked expression of the kid who just couldn't believe what had happened, as he met Hellnar'a fist, putting him on his behind into the thick snow. "Get up." Hellnar extended his hand to the kid who held his nose bleeding, being angry and humiliated. "Yes this is unexpected. Yes we endured much of the pain that was put in our shoulders. But at the end of the day we are warriors. Fighters! And we won't squander and argue like bunch of children! Do you understand? DO YOU UNDERSTAND?" Hellnar shouted as all of them nodded in silence, as Hellnar told Aldur to help his brother. "SETTLEMENT!" A thunderous voice came crackling from above the hill. The Bone Crusher made it on the top of the steep and sharp stones, managing to climb above while they were all fighting. As soon as they heard, all of them ran up the steep hill.
The Bone Crusher stood up tall, being built like a mountain, tough as steel, he was the strongest of them all. A man of few words he was, but the few he spoke they all listened. Hellnar stood side by side with all of them, looking at the horizon. "What do your eyes see, old friend?", Hellanar asked the warrior. Silence was his manner, even in battle, so it wasn't surprising when his leader asked him, that he firstly let no words disturb his gaze. "Walls, there, few yards ahead. Look down, behind the snow and wind, you can see the interrupted line. Walls, definitely, most likely destroyed. Perhaps the inhabitants are long gone, nothing to steal, no one to fight. But at least it will provide good shelter from the storm." Hellnar looked down the never ending snow planes, seeing the image his big comrade spoke off. It would be a one way trip, as the wind that carried the heavy flakes grew stronger by the minute. Either they camp here, risk that the wind won't make graves of ice for them, or they take a walk across the white planes to the unknown dangers that laid ahead, behind those walls. Hellnar knew his men, he knew the sheer amount of their collective strength. He knew what they were capable off, being raised in harsh and unforgiving land, he knew they would probably make it through the night if they camped on the shore. But unworthy death of the elements that they saw take their friends during this journey made them on edge. Nerves were thin, hands twitchy, eager to grab swords. He feared of the heavy toll that it would take. So in his mind there was no way but forward. He looked around at them, seeing his men all looking down the icy planes. "We move. If we stay here the snow will bury us. Perhaps behind the wall we will find cover. So, steel on the ready, if there is anyone left living, be ready to send him to the land of the dead." The rest just nodded, looking back and forth to each other. They were all that was left of the great raid and now with the same fear they had looking at their friends die on the ships, they walked down the hill, towards the distance, not intending to make their deaths in vain.
The elements tested them. Walking on the planes of snow proved to be more difficult then they imagined. The uneven terrain was unforgiving, as with one step they would fall through the ice, the other would hide spikes of sharp stones. But holding together, picking up their brothers and going against the blowing wind, they managed to carry one another to the large walls that with every step they took towards them, grew larger and larger. No one really expected it to be so big, as the horizon hid the lie of their size when they looked ahead from that hill. But now standing below them, they could see the sheer size of it. It was bigger then anything they came against, as the walls stood higher then any building they made. Twice as big then the tallest house in any of their city, build with a strange material, they looked in awe to the colossal walls. But something broke them, as when they came to it, they clearly saw a big hole that was carved in the walls, interrupting their perfection. "What people build this kind of thing?, Feki asked shocked. Orm took his glove off, feeling the strange material. "Steel? No…", he said. The rest followed his example, except Aldur, the smartest of the bunch, who took his axe and gently hit a part of the wall. As he did, the axe vibrated from the impact, shaking his entire hand. It took a second for him to realize his braking though. As the second he needed to gather his thoughts passed, he took his axe and swung it with all of the strength he had in his body, striking the wall. The axe just chipped the wall, sliding, easily braking the weapon in half. They all stood speechless, witnessing Aldur's actions. "No… not steel. Something much stronger.", said Aldur looking at what was left of his axe. Hellnar touched the wall, looking at the top of it that was caught in frost and snow, asking in what land did they found themselves in. "What matter of men could build such things?", Feki asked. Orm looked around, not being sure at what to make of it. "I was in France, England, I saw the settlements of the westerners. This is no work of the unbelievers. They had stone walls, but steel or whatever this is, no…" They all basked, looking at the unknown, with a certain dose of fear being present among them. "Men? No, men did not build this…" From behind them, the Bone Crusher spoke, keeping his distance, looking down at the snow. "What are you speaking of you fool? If men did not build this then who did?", Feki's arrogance spoke. "Who said we are still in Midgard? The storm spun us around the sea for so long, months went by without seeing any land. And the first land after that while we see, is this?" As the Bone Crusher spoke, he got the attention of everyone, as they all collectively turned around to him. "What bothers you old friend?", Hellnar asked his comrade. Something spooked the big man, making him nervous all of the sudden, as he turned around, looking back and forth, expecting danger. "This land, filled with nothing but snow and ice, it reeks of death. After this long, perhaps we are further from home then we think. And seeing this walls, bigger then anything we ever saw. Makes me wonder, if we left Midgard in those treacherous waters." All of them respected what the Bone Crusher told, except Feki, who just laughed at him, provoking him further. "Are we seriously going to listen to the ramblings of this dim wit? Fine, I'll indulge you. If not he westerners, then who build this massive walls?" The Bone Crusher looked at the boy with rage behind his eyes, not really wanting to say it. "Giants…" It all just make Feki laugh even harder, almost falling to the ground. But he was the only one who did that, as the rest took the Bone Crusher seriously. Feki realized he was the only one who found it amusing, looking at them asking if they were serious. "What makes you think of that old friend? Giants are things of old, things of legends. Things that belong to Jotunheim , not here in Midgard." Hellnar came close this his friend, showing his support. "The land of snow, ice and death we find ourselves in, sounds like the folk tales our parents told us. The land of the Frost Giants. And the wall that stretches so far in the air, only one could build. Ymir and his children…" Fear was present among them, as the theory the Bone Crusher had sounded very plausible. But perhaps seeing the biggest of them all shake of fear was the tipping point that made them scared. Hellnar looked at them, trying to figure a way to keep his men straight, as straying away, being consumed by fear would be the end of them. The wind grew stronger exponentially, blowing snow in their faces. "Right now it is still uncertain where we are or who was here. But what is certain is that a storm is brewing. Shaking form fear in the open is the last thing we can do right now. We continue with our intent. All of you! Gather your steel and your strength, sheath your fear away, as Lord Odin does not welcome any cowards at his table. Move!" Hellnar's words provided the required nudge they needed as they all got in the huge hole in the wall, proceeding further in the unknown. As they went in, he stood a bit behind, taking a final look at the wall. "Do you really believe that? That we are in Jotunheim?", asked Orm who waited for his leader. Hellnar looked with eyes of dread, not really sure what to make of it all. "I do not know brother. Right now it is not my concern who built the thing, rather what did make the giant hole in the impenetrable wall." As they both looked at the giant hole that broke the wall, they gathered their belongings and marched on, catching up with the rest.
Live, die, repeat announcement ( Thank you for the 500 views!)
The Word Den reached 500 views! Thank you all for it! Just recently I have been taking this blog more seriously and I promise the best is yet to come! My book "The Lonesome Road" is coming next year, and while I slowly (but surely) work on the next, I am also working hard on the blog.
I will try to post at least three times a week here. Posts will be published on Monday, Thursday and Saturday (I hope, maybe sometimes not on those days, but definitely three a week at least!). I will try to maintain the schedule and you can expect poetry (once or twice a week), perhaps something new (I will try, have few "good ideas" I wanna give a shot) and something I want to announce today. One of the posts will be my project that I named "Live, die, repeat", something I was working on for a while but had put on hold due certain circumstances (my inconclusive mind started 5 damn WIP so I disregarded everything else)
In the upcoming weeks I'll be releasing "Live, die, repeat" A culmination of several short stories. Starting with this Saturday, 15th of May, first part of the first story will be out.
Ymir's legacy
First story, called Ymir's legacy will follow a band of Vikings, who on a path to the new western lands, are whipped away from course, getting in a massive storm that destroyed all of their ships and let only the five of them alive. As they arrive in a barren land of ice and snow, they will have to move forward, investigate an unknown and strange city, discovering the dreadful and dreary secrets it holds.
It is a new approach, but I feel confident i can manage few projects at the same time. So stay tuned for Saturday and get into a new journey. Follow the Word Den and all of my socials! ( links are on the main site, just click the icons!)
Thank you for the 500 views! Here's for much more!
One soul against many
I am fighting sleep on my own,
Against the army of remembrance,
In the land that does not belong to me,
But taunts and mocks my mistakes.
I am afraid and alone against many,
Thoughts provoked unforgiving,
Decisions decided and conclusions made,
I do not know is it worse to face the final bell,
Or remain in wake to contemplate?
Against the army of thoughts I stand,
As if the curtain falls on me,
By fear guided and by rage oriented,
I shall face it,
Through the eyes of yesterday
"Scars have the strange power to remind us that our past is real."
― Cormac McCarthy—
Can you feel the sand falling through my fingers,
The once solid turns to dust on one touch,
As the words echo of what has been,
Sins and thoughts long forgotten.
The very name sends tears running,
As their cheeks have not forgotten
The cold embrace of my comfort.
I saw and felt a thousand pains,
Wounds and scars they carry in my name,
Yet it is forbidden to usher,
Just like a soft whisper
it haunts the darkest corners of their minds.
But what they misunderstood,
It is hope that resides in my heart,
Watching their back turned,
Walking into the sunset…
A toast
"Yesterday's dreams and smiles and drunken toasts are today's ghosts."
― Robert Black—
I raise a glass,
For the fallen brothers,
To the ones who even beaten and bloodied laid on the floor,
Smiled back to the world taunting is this the best it can do!
Your courage will be remembered!
I salute the lone wolfs,
Who even without a pack,
Teeth flashing and growling at their oppressors,
Always stood their ground.
Showing there is strength in self belief,
not just in unity.
Your fearlessness will inspire!
To the warriors,
Who carry their scars inside and out…
I bow…
For it is your power to hold on that gives me strength and your ruthlessness to keep on walking despite the heavy conjecture of the world…
As it is your prowess that shines eternal…
To the ones who withstand the constant storm of chaos…
We are many who succumb bellow the pressure of dark thoughts and taunting of despair, there are many who walk side by side with sorrow from dawn to dusk… but we do not walk alone… for it is not the darkness of our being that enwraps us, but the night of the world…
And know below the midnight sky you do not stand alone…
I choose understanding
Close I listen to the incoming wind,
Whispering an ancient tale long forgotten.
It tells me to remember and find
The one thing lost, but remembered often.
The virtue human kind negates,
And with it guilt and sorrow
Deep buried in our hearts,
It patiently awaits.
I ask is it is love or kindness that it preach,
As all the good things came and went quick,
Light as soon it comes,
Sooner feels out of reach.
But the wind talks not of love nor light misplaced,
But rather a thing we shunned,
As if it wasn't born, vanished out of trace…
Kindness for you with a price comes,
Love you give and take like coin transacts,
But a foundation of all life is neither of them,
It was understanding that was replaced by hate…


an injury is permanent when any of its effects will continue throughout the plaintiff's life. These effects may include medical expenses, loss of earnings, pain and suffering, scarring or disfigurement, (partial) loss (of use) of part of the body, or (state any other element of damages supported by the evidence) to be incurred or experienced by the plaintiff over his life expectancy.
An act is grossly negligent when the defendant lacks even slight care, when he shows indifference to the rights and welfare of others or when his negligence is of an aggravated character.
To find that an act was committed in reckless disregard for the rights and safety of others, you must find more than mere failure to exercise ordinary care. You must find that the defendant acted needlessly, manifesting a reckless indifference to others.
Conduct is intentional if the defendant intentionally fails to carry out some duty imposed by law which is necessary to protect the safety of the person or property to which it is owed.
For an application of gross negligence, we can also look to the case Green v. Kearney (2011) which applied the term in the context of volunteer emergency medical care. In that case, the court "stressed the knowledge of the emergency personnel and their actions which were not in accord with that knowledge." Where the issue was the defendant's lack of knowledge, "even if their lack of knowledge was caused by a negligent failure to conduct a sufficiently thorough examination," this was still only ordinary negligence.
Another place to look for the application of these terms is in punitive damages cases. An award of punitive damages requires a plaintiff to show the existence of either fraud, malice or willful or wanton conduct. In the 1983 case, Mazza v. Huffaker, a psychiatrist had sexual relations with his patient's wife and the patient discovered the psychiatrist and his wife in bed together. The court held that this not only violated the standard of care a psychiatrist owed his patient but also was a "willful act" and "more than mere inadvertence on the part of the psychiatrist." The psychiatrist "acted with conscious disregard of the mental well-being of" the patient.

Closer to God is a unique collection of international examples of sacred spaces of all denominations that were built in the last few years. Whether churches, synagogues, mosques, temple complexes, or other contemplative places for meditation and reflection, the architecture highlighted in this book ranks among the most exciting of our time.
This book presents striking proof that contemporary religious structures are no longer bound by predominant styles. Rather, the explicitly expressive architectural language of sacred spaces at the start of the twenty-first century is shaped equally by respect for established traditions and forays into the visuality of the future.

The Landscape Institute (LI) is a UK based professional body for the landscape profession. Its membership includes landscape architects, urban designers,  landscape planners, landscape scientists and landscape managers. The LI also has a category for academic members.

Founded in 1929-30 as the Institute of Landscape Architects (ILA), it was granted a royal charter in 1997. In the words of its longest serving president, Geoffrey Jellicoe, "It is only in the present century that the collective landscape has emerged as a social necessity. We are promoting a landscape art on a scale never conceived of in history."

The LI seeks to promote landscape architecture and to regulate the landscape profession with a code of conduct that members must abide by. The LI had 'over 900' members at the time of its fortieth birthday (in 1969) and by 1978 had over 1,500 members. In 2019 the total membership of the LI was 5,613. The Landscape Institute royal charter was granted in 1997 and revised in 2008 and 2016. Its objects and purposes are specified as follows (in Clause 5. (1): 'The objects and purposes for which the Institute is hereby constituted are to protect, conserve and enhance the natural and built environment for the benefit of the public by promoting the arts and sciences of Landscape Architecture (as such expression is hereinafter defined) and its several applications and for that purpose to foster and encourage the dissemination of knowledge relating to Landscape Architecture and the promotion of research and education therein, and in particular to establish, uphold and advance the standards of education, qualification, competence and conduct of those who practice Landscape Architecture as a profession, and to determine standards and criteria for education, training and experience.'

The Landscape Institute publishes the journal Landscape (formerly Landscape Design), and is a member of the International Federation of Landscape Architects.

Development of the landscape profession in the UK

 The growth of landscape architecture has been led by its membership and supported by its secretariat and by government legislation since the 1940s, The relevant legislation included the New Towns Act (1946) which led to a requirement for special attention to the 'landscape treatment' of New Towns, and thus to the first salaried jobs for landscape architects in the public service. The European Environmental Impact Assessment Directive EIA Directive (85/337/EEC) (1985) led new jobs in preparing environmental impact assessments.

From the 1950s to the 1980s, the public sector (particularly local authorities) was the largest employer of landscape architects, with a minority working in private practice. In the 21st century, and especially following public spending reforms post-2009, a greater majority of landscape architects are employed in the private sector.

History of the term 'landscape architecture'

 'Landscape architecture' is a modern name for an ancient art. The development of the ancient art is analysed by Geoffrey Jellicoe, in The Landscape of Man, and by Norman T. Newton in Design on the land. Jellicoe describes the cave paintings of Lascaux c30,000 BC as the 'First Landscapes consciously conceived by man'. Newton, defines 'landscape architecture' as the art 'of arranging land, together with the spaces and objects upon it, for safe, efficient, healthful, pleasant human use' and writes that 'the ancient art became a new profession officially, when in 1863 the title Landscape Architect was first used by the state-appointed Board of Central Park Commissioners in New York City. It had been employed unofficially by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux beginning in 1858'.
Though its use as a professional title is American, the origin of the term 'landscape architect' is European. Charles Waldheim identifies two possible nineteenth century origins: in France and in the UK.
The possible French origin comes from Jean-Marie Morel. He was an 'architect, engineer, and garden designer' and he 'is credited with the formulation ''architecte-paysagiste'''. This possibility was identified in the late nineteenth century  and researched by Disponzio.

The possible UK origin was identified in 1982 and researched by Nina Antonetti in 2012. She traces the term 'landscape architecture' to Meason and its use as professional title to William Andrews Nesfield. Meason's book was published in 1828 and deals with the relationship between buildings and their settings.
John Claudius Loudon welcomed the new term 'landscape architect' and used it in the Gardeners Magazine, which he edited, and in two of the encyclopedias he published: the Encyclopedia of Gardening (from the 1835 edition onwards)   and the Encyclopedia of Cottage, Farm, Villa Architecture (1838). Loudon also used it in the title of his 1840 book: The landscape gardening and landscape architecture of the late Humphry Repton, esq. The publicity given to the term 'landscape architecture' by Loudon led to use of the term 'landscape architect' by some British garden designers from the mid-nineteenth century onwards. The most notable example is its use in1849 by William Andrews Nesfield. Nesfield described himself as a landscape architect on the plan he submitted for the garden of Britain's most famous residence, Buckingham Palace.

UK use of the term 'landscape architect' (to mean 'garden designer') tailed off towards the end of the nineteenth century. It was Olmsted's long and brilliant career that led to it becoming famous and being associated with public projects: for parks, greenways, open space systems and urban design. His most famous projects were Central Park in New York and the Emerald Necklace of green space in Boston. This was the sense in which 'landscape architecture' returned to the UK and in which it was adopted by the Landscape Institute, as described below.

History of the ILA and LI

Discussion of the need for landscape architecture to have a professional body in the UK began with a 1911 article on ''The Position and Prospects for Landscape Architecture in England''. It was written by Thomas Mawson and argued for the creation of a Society of Landscape Architects. When working on the Dunfermline Competition for Pittencrieff Park, Thomas Mawson and Patrick Geddes had been the first two men to use the term 'landscape architect' in the sense established by Frederick Law Olmsted's office. Mawson's article contributed to the formation of a new body but there was a disagreement about what name it should have. It came to be called the Town Planning Institute  (TPI) and is now the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI). Mawson became its president in 1923.

Stanley V Hart was concerned at the lack of unity in the British section of the International Exhibition of Garden Design (held in October 1928) and used an advertisement in The Gardeners' Chronicle to invite interested parties to attend a meeting at the Chelsea Flower Show in 1929. According to Brenda Colvin (who was present) the original intention was to call it the 'British Association of Garden Architects'. She told Tony Aldous, who was commissioned by the LI to write a book on its history, that 'Most of the people who started the institute were only doing private gardens, you must remember'. So 'If we had called it Landscape Gardeners, it would have taken us much longer to arrive at the full scope the profession has today - if we had arrived at all'. She also told Aldous that 'Thomas Adams persuaded the founding members to follow the American lead and for 'Landscape Architects'
The decision to change its name to the Institute of Landscape Architects (ILA) was taken in 1930 and the new institute was launched. The Objects of the ILA were defined in Clause 2 of its first Constitution (drafted by Gilbert Henry Jenkins): 'The Institute shall be formed to promote the study and general advancement of the Art of Landscape Architecture in all its branches, and to serve as a medium of friendly intercourse between the members and others practising or interested in the Art'. In Clause 3, ten Methods of Achievement were set out: Establish suitable headquarters; Arrange lectures; Prepare sets of lantern slides; Promote the publication of a Journal; Arrange periodical exhibitions; Found a Library; Educate the public in the Art of Landscape Architecture; Secure the establishment of one or more Training Centres; Organise visits to good examples of Landscape Architecture; Hold Conferences with other Societies who can assist in promoting the Art of Landscape Architecture.
The journal of the new institute had the title Landscape and garden and was edited by a well-known garden designer and author: Richard Sudell.

The early membership of the ILA was mostly garden designers and architects. Some of the garden designers (including Stanley Hart) left because of the restriction that members of the new institute must not earn money from trade. Inspired by the practice of the Royal Institute of British Architects members had to declare that 'I am not engaged in the sale of anything connected with gardening, nor am I financially interested in any commercial gardening undertaking'
The focus of the ILA began to expand beyond gardening when Thomas Adams became its president in 1937. He had been the first president of the Town Planning Institute (in 1914) and had extensive experience of planning and landscape architecture in the US and Canada.  The broadening of the workload accelerated when Geoffrey Jellicoe became president of the ILA in 1939. He visited the US in 1942 and, like Adams, was impressed by the range of work undertaken by members of the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA). Richard Sudell supported the broadening of the workload. In 1948 Jellicoe became the founding president of the International Federation of Landscape Architects (IFLA). To my mind, the expansion to include public projects was obviously right - but turning away from garden design was obviously wrong. It was like excluding poetry from a course on English literature.

But the expansion was a success and the fruits of the ILA's promotion of landscape architecture are detailed in the chapters of Tony Aldous' Chapter 3: public clients; Chapter 4 new towns;  Chapter 5 university campuses; Chapter  6; Whitehall; Chapter 7: roads;  Chapter  8: power, steel, rail, canals and airports; Chapter 9: forestry and reservoirs; Chapter  10: local authorities; Chapter 11: mineral extraction; Chapter  12: corporate clients.

In 1977, the Institute of Landscape Architects changed its name to the Landscape Institute and expanded its membership to include landscape managers and landscape scientists, as well as the landscape architects who remain the largest specialism. The collective name for the various specialists is 'landscape professionals'.

Membership
LI members include landscape designers, landscape managers, landscape planners, landscape scientists and urban designers.

The Affiliate membership category is an open category with minimal requirements. To become a professional member, however, candidates must first have completed an LI-accredited university course or alternatively be assessed as a special case for admission as an Associate. Following this they proceed along the Pathway to Chartership (P2C), a mentored and supervised programme of learning which culminates in an interview with two examiners who are senior members of the profession, once the candidate has attained an agreed level of competency. This process was formerly known as 'Part IV' of the Landscape Institute's own design examination. Parts I to III were replaced by the system of accredited degree courses in the mid-1980s.

'Landscape Architect' is not a protected title in the UK (unlike the title 'architect' there is no state register). However, it is a regulated profession and the UK Government recognises the Landscape Institute as the regulating body . It would therefore be fraudulent to use the title 'Chartered Member of the Landscape Institute' and the designation 'CMLI' if one was not a chartered member.

Activities
The activities of the LI include maintaining a membership database, member communications, newsletters, the Journal, CPD, professional examinations, enforcing a Code of Conduct, policy and technical outputs, and advocacy.
The LI's publications include: Guidance for Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment 3rd Ed. (jointly with IEMA), Visualisation of Development, and BIM for Landscape.
In 2008, the LI, supported by CABE, launched a campaign to increase the number of Landscape Architects in the UK. Entitled I want to be a Landscape Architect, it focused on increasing the number of postgraduate and undergraduate students taking LI accredited courses.

In July 2018, the I want to be a Landscape Architect initiative was replaced by a new careers campaign entitled #ChooseLandscape, which aimed to raise awareness of landscape as a profession; improve and increase access to landscape education; and inspire young people to choose landscape as a career. This campaign included other landscape-related professions such as landscape management, landscape planning, landscape science and urban design.

The LI was one of the steering group partners of Neighbourhoods Green, a partnership initiative which worked with social landlords and housing associations to highlight the importance of, and raise the overall quality of design and management for, open and green space in social housing. It is also represented on the Board of The Parks Alliance
and Building with Nature   and has Memoranda of Understanding with the Institute of Place Management (IPM)  and Landscapes for Life (the National Association for Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty NAAOB).

Library and archive
The Institute of Landscape Architects (the Landscape Institute's previous name), built up a collection of library books and archives relating to the practice of design and management with the purpose of creating a national landscape collection. The library was formally established in 1967. The archive collections began in the 1990s as landscape architects died and their collections were bequeathed, donated, or actively collected by the institute. In 2013, the Landscape Institute Archive and Library was gifted to the Museum of English Rural Life (MERL) at the University of Reading and is available to Institute members, researchers and members of the public. It receives financial support from the Landscape Institute.

Presidents
Presidents of the Landscape Institute are elected by LI members for a two-year term.

Raymond Peter Allison (born March 4, 1959) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey forward who played seven seasons in the National Hockey League for the Hartford Whalers and Philadelphia Flyers. He featured in the 1985 Stanley Cup Finals with the Flyers.

Allison was born in Cranbrook, British Columbia.

Playing career
Following a phenomenal junior career, Allison became the first ever draft pick in the history of the Hartford Whalers/Carolina Hurricanes franchise. He was expected to be a franchise player but failed to impress during his rookie season. A year later, Allison was traded in a ten player deal to Philadelphia. There he would develop into a scoring forward but suffered a broken ankle during the 1982–83 season. He never regained a regular spot on the Flyers roster, and played his last few seasons in the AHL and Swiss leagues.

As we predicted earlier this year, a major Peer Lender has gone belly-up, reminding many of Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme that collapsed in 2008. But instead of a carefully constructed fraud that endured for decades, the Chinese Peer Lending platform Ezubo siphoned $7.6 billion dollars from investors in two years.
Peer Lending has exploded in China, from about $38 billion USD in 2014 to $151 billion USD in 2015. This $7.6 billion dollar fraud represents 4.6% of the Chinese Peer Lending market and affects more than 900,000 investors. This raises another concern for potential investors – not only does a lender risk loss from borrowers not repaying, but they now have to worry that their money could be embezzled by a marketplace's management.
There are two types of risk associated with any asset class: systematic risk and unsystematic risk.
Systematic Risk is the risk inherent in the entire market. As an example, during the '08 crash nearly all stocks, regardless of their individual strengths, decreased in value. This type of risk cannot be diversified away by investing more in the same market – buying more stocks won't help if the entire stock market tanks.
Peer Lending has been shown to have near zero correlation to the stock market, making it a good asset to add to a portfolio.
Unsystematic risk is the risk inherent in each individual investment. The biggest risk when lending money is the inability or unwillingness of the borrower to pay back. Three approaches help in lowering that risk: credit scoring, guarantees, and diversification.
Lenders can minimize their risk by investing a small amount in many different loans. This mode of diversification is crucial to the general attractiveness of Peer Lending.
Aside from diversification, both credit scoring and borrower guarantees can be thought of as Platform Risk, since the end investor has no control over either (other than to perform due diligence and the ability to invest in multiple marketplaces). This 'platform risk' is a key difference between Peer Lending marketplaces in China and the United States.
The largest platforms in the United States have taken steps to limit platform risk for the end consumer. There are partnerships between each marketplace and qualified custodians, loan-servicing companies, originating banks, scoring agencies, investment advisors, and more that are all monitored by the SEC or other government bodies.
But while the SEC has taken an active interest in Peer Lending since 2008, the Chinese Peer Lending ecosystem only started implementing regulation in mid 2015. Chinese Regulators have their hands full trying to check in on more than 2,500 (and growing) Peer Lender platforms.
The Peer Lending company Ezubo attempted to sate client fears by providing credit scoring on business who were 'unable to obtain credit at traditional banks' and guaranteeing those loans with the underlying asset supposed to be used by the loan proceeds. In reality, Ezubo had few outside legitimate business partnerships – their entire business was built on a house of cards that collapsed once government scrutiny began.
China may not be out of the woods yet – this past December the China Banking Regulatory Commission listed 1,000 Chinese Peer Lenders as "problematic." Although Ezubo is the largest Peer Lender to collapse, there are sure to be more to follow.


Non-store retailing continued to record strong growth in 2016, with stronger development than store-based retailing. The overall positive performance of the category can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, many consumers became more comfortable purchasing goods online. Secondly, the channel is becoming popular with consumers due to the low pricing that internet and direct selling retailers can offer, as they have lower fixed costs and more competitive pricing strategies than their store-based counterparts. Moreover, the number of internet retailers grew rapidly, and thus consumers were offered wider shopping possibilities.
Overall, the competitive landscape in non-store retailing remained somewhat fragmented in 2016, with a wide range of products sold by a large number of companies. Ixia Cosmetics maintained its leading position in the category in 2016 with a 19% value share, supported by its strong position in fragrances and colour cosmetics. The company has a wide variety of products in beauty and personal care, which is the leading sales generator in direct selling after other direct selling in Tunisia. The company is also well known for its Avon brand, and enjoys a wide network of sellers.
Non-store retailing in Tunisia is expected to register positive value growth at constant 2016 prices over the forecast period, with internet retailing predicted to continue to drive value growth in the category. Internet retailing is set to be supported by improved internet access, as well as the growing penetration of smartphones. In addition, the number of online buyers benefiting from promotions offered by telecommunication operators in terms of mobile internet packages is anticipated to increase, thereby boosting the strength of the category. Moreover, it is likely that online shopping will increase in relevance, as consumers are expected to continue to seek additional convenience for their daily shopping needs. On the other hand, non-store retailing will also benefit from direct selling, which is also projected to register strong constant value growth, as it relies on highly motivated sales agents establishing strong relationships with their customers. As a result, non-store retailing is expected to record a value CAGR of 10% at constant 2016 prices over the forecast period.

New and updated—the favorite Hi Ten is upgraded in Plya Compression, which is loved for having brilliant color, as well as a lightweight but highly compressive fabric. This style remains the no-muss, no-fuss sports bra for high impact activities for smaller cup sizes, and low impact for larger cup sizes. Color fastness is enhanced in Plya Compression, as it takes brights as equally as rich darks.
I love, love, love this bra. It's supportive without being constrictive, and I can wear it for hours on end and forget it's on. While I love my girls to be braced, I don't like a ton of coverage - and this bra is perfect for that. Everything stays put, but I don't feel like I'm wearing a corset.
I wear size 4 in Oiselle bras, HI TEN BRA fits similarly to other Oiselle 4 bras. I'm 34B usually in other bras. This might not be supportive enough for the more "gifted" women, but I am not sure--I personally LOVE the HI TEN BRA. My A/B/C size runner friends all love this bra!
Look no further, this bra has soft material, but holds you in tight enough for a long run up and down hill. The straps and band don't cut in at all--super comfortable.
Great for wearing under a T.
This is a staple bra, get it!
I love that I can wear this bra all day for working out or being active with my kids, and never get that suffocation feeling that other sports bras give me. While I love the look of Oiselle's other strappy bras, the hi-ten fits me the best - 32A, size 2. Consistent sizing between Fall 16 & Spring 17; regret not buying it in all the colors/patterns in 2016, won't be making the same mistake twice!
Fits and support well, without cutting off my circulation :-) I use it for everything from weightlifting to gardening. 5'5, 125 and size 4 fits me well.
Supportive without squeezing too much!
The High Ten is "safe" if you are new to Oiselle. Why? It has a familiar fit as other sports bras with a similar design made by other brands. BUT there's more! Oiselle's is superior because the fabric and construction make that familiar fit a BETTER fit. For running hard, running leisurely, and for multi-sport days when it's a combination of a different activity plus lounging. 10s for this High Ten.
This is a great bra. It does everything you need it to do and nothing more. When I run I never have to thinking about it, and that is a gold standard for me. Will be purchasing every color. Also love that I wear the same size as I wear in Oiselle tops, this just makes sense. I am a size 34A 5'1 115lbs and wear size 4.

How often do you realize you are bigger than a smaller pair of pants?
Today is March 14 and the Navigate the Chaos question to consider is "how often do you realize you are bigger than a smaller pair of pants?" Navigating the Chaos and practicing the art of living well requires one to have a healthy mind body balance. When the size of one's waist becomes all-consuming at the expense of almost everything else in life, one should stop and ask if they realize they are bigger than a smaller pair of pants. That is exactly what Senior Peloton instructor Christine D'Ercole did, and in so doing figured out how to navigate the chaos of her career and started to practice the art of living well.
When D'Ercole was a child she dreamed of becoming a ballerina. Sadly, she was rarely cast in recitals that required short tutus, and she eventually found out the reason why. As she recalled in an October 2020 interview the reason she was never cast was because "My thighs were twice the size of all the other little girls, and that was a devastating realization. I was just bigger. I was too big. Too big to be cute, too big to be pretty, too big to be beautiful, too big to be loved, worthy, successful. You name it."
Armed with that damaging messaging and harsh realization, D'Ercole abandoned her ballet dreams and decided to try acting. Instead of ballet she got into a performing arts high school, then studied theater at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh and set her sights on Broadway. While working an office job at the university around her studies, D'Ercole found her personal file. Against her better judgment she looked at it anyway. While it had some complimentary observations about her acting, included in the file was the notation "A little heavy in the thigh.'" Here again was another massive blow, both for D'Ercole's self-confidence and her career aspirations.
Devastated again because of the size of her thighs her response to herself was "Am I not built for any of my dreams?" Turns out she was built perfectly for her dream; she just needed to keep dreaming. As other Navigate the Chaos suggests, you should keep dreaming your entire life and have as many as you need two lifetimes to achieve. After graduating college D'Ercole moved to New York, got an agent, and started auditioning for acting parts. To help pay the bills she became a bike messenger. She loved long bike rides as a kid so being a bike messenger seemed like a fun way to make some money and meet new friends. She quickly realized, however, that she had a natural talent when she won races against the other messengers around parks at the end of the day.
Encouraged by her peers, D'Ercole started dabbling in track cycling and racing — and "absolutely fell in love." Having failed to make much headway in acting, D'Ercole decided to pursue cycling. Some of the other bike messengers were also racing cyclists, so they introduced her to the industry. Before she knew it, D'Ercole had a sponsorship deal with Nautica and was traveling across the US, racing with Olympians and world champions. At the age of 27, D'Ercole became pregnant with her daughter. After gaining weight, the new mom decided she would become a plus-size model and got a job on the QVC network. To add insult to her former injuries of being told her thighs were too big, this time QVC deemed here not big enough and made her wear extra padding and could only model the fall/winter lines, which covered more of her body.
As D'Ercole recalled "As a ballerina, they wouldn't let me wear the short tutu because my thighs were bigger, but now they wouldn't let me wear the short sleeves because my arms were smaller." Before long, she realized she missed competitive cycling. She started racing again, but also qualified as an instructor, teaching spin classes at various studios. In 2014, D'Ercole had been teaching at SoulCycle for a few years, but she knew the style wasn't quite the right fit for her. And that's when Peloton came knocking. "There were people who were riding more traditional cycling, and there were people who were doing more dance-y workouts," she said. "I thought it was so smart to not be locked into one style, and I really felt like there was room for me there." Six years later, her classes are taken by thousands of Peloton members globally — her Power Zone rides have been taken over 750,000 times since January 2020. D'Ercole's mission is to help people change the way they speak about themselves, both through her Peloton classes and her "Wordshops," which are workshops explaining how to realign your self-talk.
"What I've learned from racing is that if I think I can't handle it and I'm telling myself I can't handle it, then I've decided I can't handle it. There were so many moments that I caught myself and said, 'But what if you can? What if you simply dug a little deeper, believed a little bigger, pushed a little harder, pedaled a little faster?' And this turned into, 'I am, I can, I will, I do,' this little secret mantra of my own that I would repeat over and over," she said. D'Ercole had been seeing the benefits of the mantra since 1996. But when she first said it in a spin class at Equinox in 2005, she was amazed by how well people responded. It's become her trademark. D'Ercole believes her mantra is powerful because it's like a map: You can't know how to get to your destination if you don't already know where you are now.
"The most powerful thing anyone can say to us is what we say to ourselves," she said. "You can take a class and be inspired by 33 different instructors. You can read a book that someone mentioned on Instagram, see a billboard, read a sticky note ... something will inspire you at some point. But inspiration is like a butterfly: It flies and it dies. And you can't harness it because it's not yours. When the words are yours, then you can make change. My self-talk is about embracing where I am, not judging myself, and reminding myself that I am bigger than a smaller pair of pants."
How often do you realize you are bigger than a small size of pants?
How often do you judge others based on their size of pants?
How often do you remind yourself you are the decisive element?


It felt like our little oasis. We wandered the leafy paths and wondered 'are other people really here?' The Ranch was as secluded and romantic as we wanted it to be. Our stay rekindled our devotion to each other and our own personal well-being.
We are both normally on-the-go. Wade travels a lot for work. I'm in marketing. We trade our phones for flip-flops and follow the redbrick road to somewhere wonderful. The hammock becomes our office, the sky our calendar. We rediscover the simple joy of being together. Where else can you roam hand-in-hand in your robes?
We feel so cared for by The Ranch staff from the moment they pick us up in San Diego. They ferry us through the bustling town of Tecate into the green sanctuary of Rancho La Puerta. Serenity envelops us. Adobe archways open to mountaintops. Wild peonies spring from hillsides. Sculptures swirl, dance, bow and pray. Hummingbirds dangle in the feathery air.
Day one, we tuck our devices into the cell phone sleeping bags in our tote. At home, we'd be in front of a TV. We don't have that option, so we tune into each other and the music of the mountain. Our hacienda becomes our haven, with its high-beamed ceilings, Mexican folk art and wood piled neatly in the tiled fireplace. Our patio has a sweeping vista of the mountains. Our main visitors are cottontail rabbits and mourning doves.
The Ranch is a walking village more than a stuffy resort. We soon realize, 'getting there' is as lovely as 'there.' We massage our feet on sun-warmed stones on a spiraled path. We pick sweet figs straight from the trees. A flock of California quail forage in the sagebrush. Flashes of orange fish shimmy in a pond. We happen across an enclave of hammocks under the live oaks and discover a secret: There's still animals in the clouds.
The brilliance of the Ranch is that we can each pursue our own pleasures. We climb the Coyote trail together in the morning and scurry off to our chosen classes. I want to up my workout with TRX, tennis and ranch ropes. Wade seeks an antidote to his fast-paced job with yoga, meditation and anything in the water. We reunite at the poolside juice bar for a coconut-mango smoothie and a float in the bright southern sun.
We could choose a table for two but we often gather round a communal one. Meals are epic treats and thankfully they happen three times a day. There are vegan and gluten-free options, as well as Baja-caught seafood, fresh dairy and eggs from local chickens. The food is prepared with love. You can taste it. Wade decides he can't live without The Ranch's handmade tortillas, and learns to make them with fresh masa back home.
We're giddy to discover the Bazar Del Sol lounge with its collection of wines from the neighboring Guadalupe Valley. We browse the cache of artisan crafts and snuggle on a couch by the fire. It's sunset and coral hues splash through the valley. We're filled with good cheer and love for each other. Salud, sweetheart!

Q: Subtracting current hour's value from previous hour's value in Power BI Is there a DATEADD equivalent for hours?
The smallest interval for DATEADD is DAY, but I need it to be HOUR.
I have a running total number that grows once per hour, I need to make a measure that calculates the hourly consumption. The total dataset spans over many years, with 24 readings per day, every day.
For example for monthly calculations (on a different solution) I use
Monthly = SUM('Readings'[VALUE]) - CALCULATE(SUM('Readings'[VALUE]), DATEADD('Date'[Date], -1, MONTH))

I need a similar solution to calculate hourly consumption for each of the 24 hours.
Sample table 'Readings':
View Table
So I would need a measure that knows for example on 01/01/20 at hour 1 (01:00) the consumption was 5 (145-140) etc.

This week we posted one oral health resolution a day – small and simple actions to take – and now it's time to finish our top ten list.
1. Turn the water faucet off when brushing your teeth.
2. Replace your toothbrush or power toothbrush head if it has been 3 months since you last started using a new one – or if you have recently been sick, or if the indicator on the brush tells you it's time (even if it has been over 3 months and the indicator looks fine) OR if someone decided to use your brush!
3. Brush for at least two minutes at least twice a day.
4. Keep your toothbrush far away from the toilet. It's always wise to flush the toilet with the lid closed as germs can spray way up into the air (at least that's what we've been told).
5. Reduce your soda and carbonated beverage consumption. If you are going to drink these beverages, it may be wise to drink them through a straw and limit the amount of time spent drinking. If you want a soda, have it in one sitting, instead of prolonged sipping.
6. Floss daily. Use about 18 inches of dental floss and floss in between every tooth. To see a video on good flossing form, please visit this YOU TUBE Video.
7. Schedule an advanced oral cancer screening for your next dental visit if it has been a year or more since your last screening. Not sure if you've been screened? Check with your dentist – advanced oral cancer screenings use additional technology that may aid in earlier detection.
8. Address any dental problems you currently are aware of – do you know your gums are bleeding? Have you had a root canal and have not capped? Make 2010 the year that you resolve these ongoing issues so that moving forward, you can stay on top of your oral health.
9. Schedule your dental cleanings for the year if you don't already have them scheduled. Everyone should see a dentist at least once every 6 months for a professional cleaning; some people may require cleanings or specialized treatments more often.
10. Realize it's okay – and IMPORTANT – to take care of your oral health. It tends to be one area of health that people neglect or feel awkward about caring about. Getting dental problems fixed and spending a few minutes a day brushing and flossing is not being selfish. You deserve to have the best oral health possible – and it's absolutely within reach!
Extremely fruitful info. Confidence to see more posts speedily!
Good article. I was able to send this to some doctor I know that could use this on their website..


The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) formally withdrew its 2012 proposed rule that would have created a new federal motor vehicle safety standard (FMVSS) for electronic data recorders (EDRs). Currently, EDRs are regulated under Part 563 and must meet certain requirements, but only apply to light vehicles (under 10,000 lb GVWR) voluntarily equipped with EDRs.
NHTSA withdraws the Dec. 13, 2012 proposed rule primarily because, today, EDRs are installed on nearly 100 percent of all new light vehicles. Therefore, the agency believes such a mandate for today's EDRs is no longer necessary. It has been reported in various articles that NHTSA signaled it is working on a proposal to update pre-crash recording requirements in accordance with the FAST Act.
MEMA did not wholeheartedly support the 2012 proposal and, thus, supports NHTSA's withdrawal of the proposed regulation. For more information, contact Leigh Merino.

Q: socket.io not emitting So, I have this app called server and the other one called client, server providers all the data for the client to consume. The thing is, when i try to emit from server (port 8080) and receive to client (port 80) nothing happens
server: app.js
var app = require ("./config/server.js");

var http = require('http').createServer(app);
var io = require("socket.io")(http);

http.listen(8080, function(){
    console.log('Server side instagram_clone_v01 online');
});

io.sockets.on('connect', function (socket) {
    console.log("conectou socket.id="+socket.id);
});

When the server database insert new photo, this is called:
io.emit("newPhoto");

client: app.js
var app = require('./config/server');

app.listen(80, function(){
    console.log('Server client instagram_clone_v01 online');
});

var io = require('socket.io');

This is called inside a ejs code:
const socket = io.connect('http://localhost:8080', {transports: ['websocket', 'polling', 'flashsocket']});
socket.on('newPhoto',function(){
     load_posts();
});

Edited with the Answer of Federico
I added io.origins('*:*'); to server, but emit isn't emitting

A: I don't know why you are using io.sockets.on, I couldn't find it in the documentation. I've tried to clean the code, give it a try.
server.js
var app    = require ("./config/server.js");
var http   = require('http').Server(app);
var io     = require("socket.io")(http);

http.listen(8080, function(){
    console.log('Server side instagram_clone_v01 online');
});

io.on('connect', socket => {

    console.log("user" + socket.request.user.id + "connected");

    socket.on('disconnect', function() {

        console.log('A user has disconnected');

    }

    io.emit("newPhoto");
});

client.js
    //io() works only when connecting to a socket hosted on the same url/server
    // For connecting to an external socket hosted elsewhere, you would use io.connect('URL');
    var socket = io();
    socket.on('newPhoto',function(){
             load_posts();
        });

In the page where your user being redirected after login, you should include these scripts:
<script src="/socket.io/socket.io.js"></script>
<script src="/client.js"></script>

Q: Managing page flow in Play! framework tags In a web app built using Play framework, I have a checkout page which lists the user's shopping cart as well as an address form. I created the address form as a tag (addressform.html) so that it can be reused.
checkout.html:
#{if shopcart.cartItems}
    #{shopcartview customer:customer,shopcart:shopcart/}
    #{addressform customer:customer /}
#{/if}

The address form has a form element #{form @setAddressInfo()}
which calls a controller method as below
public static void setAddressInfo(Long customerId,...) {
   ...
   showPaymentPage();
}

which if everything went well, goes to a payments page.
The problem occurs when I want to reuse the addressform on my confirmOrder page.
confirmOrder.html:
#{if shopcart.cartItems}
        #{shopcartview customer:customer,shopcart:shopcart/}
        #{addressform customer:customer /}
#{/if}

editPaymentInfo

here, if the user changes the address and submits the form, the setAddressInfo() method will, on successful completion open up the payments page. That is not good--the user may not want to change the payment info at all. Also, I am providing a link to payments page for those users who want to change payment info. I want the same OrderConfirm page to show up, so that the user can click on the Submit Order button.
So how do I do it? I can surely reuse the address form in this case right? Can you help me figure out how to manage page flow in this case?

A: You can provide a parameter, indicating where to redirect the user, to the setAddressInfo() via hidden input or via java paramater like. Both options:
<input type="hidden" name="urlToRedirectUserTo" value="urlToRedirecTo(maybe using @{}..)"/>

Or:
#{form @setAddressInfo("urlToRedirectUserTo")}

And in the action you do:
public static void setAddressInfo(String urlToRedirectUserTo) {
   ...
   ...
   ...
   redirect(urlToRedirectUserTo);
}

There are better options to make it more typed and less error prone, but this one is probably good enough.
