#OTR part 4

[mcsmkin]

it’s uncanny

[itsrheasgirl]

Things I wrote parts for today:

1. Vampire!Rhea

2. OTR Chapter 4

3. I Did It For You - Becky Request

4. Happily (N)ever After - Rhea Request

5. Beg Me - Raquel Fanfic

I have so many incredible fanfics coming out for you guys and I’m so excited to see how y’all react to them.

Let me know in the comments which one of these few that’s you’re most excited for.

[ao719]

Do you ever hear a song that instantly makes you think of one of your pairings? 

I cannot express the joy this ask brought me 😍😂 sjakjdkskdkdk

I’ve always loved incorporating songs into my fics and it’s something I’ve done since I first started writing because they give me so much inspiration. I’ve had some fics that were inspired by a song or even just a single line in one that has sparked an entire series (I’m looking at you, Hopeless Hearts).

I definitely have songs from some of my series that makes me think of them.

Always You — We’re Not Friends by Ingrid Andress. I used this song in the series because it screams Liam and Reyna and every time I hear it my mind goes right to them.

On the Run — The Great Escape by Boys Like Girls. I’ve always loved this song but now when I hear it I always think of Liam and Reyna. And the OtR playlist is probably my absolute favorite one I’ve put together.

Hopeless Hearts — Arcade by Duncan Laurence. I know it’s like … the song used in the sad part of the story, lol, but every time it comes on, I can’t help but think of Liam and Aria.

Bonus: Kiss Me More by Doja Cat— iykyk 😂

Bonus bonus: I Was Made For Loving You by Tori Kelly. This first two lines of this song sparked the whole idea: A dangerous plan, just this time. A stranger’s hand clutched in mine <- And that’s how HH was born 😂

The Pact — Daydreams by We Three. I’m immediately taken to the wine cellar in chapter 4 🫡

Moirai — When I See You, I See Home by Tyler Hilton. Every time I hear it, I think of Liam and Alina 🥹

Breaking Point - Broken by Jonah Kagen. This song inspired the whole idea for the story and I use lyrics from it for all of the chapter titles.

The Duchess - Where The Shadow Ends by Banners gives me chills every time I hear it and it takes me back to writing that story, lol.

The Wall and Flower — Pretty Girl by Maggie Linderman. Ok, so this isn’t even written yet, but of course I started a playlist, lol. This song is the first one on it and it makes me think of the OC in that story and her personality.

That’s all I can think of for now 😂 And I hope you don’t mind, anon, but this was a fun ask (and thank you for sending it! 💕) so I want to tag some others to play!

@burnsoslow @charlotteg234 @deb-1106 @sincerelyella @sfb123 @queenrileyrose @kristinamae093 @dcbbw @emkay512 @tessa-liam and anyone else who wants to share!

Since book 7 ended I made a tier list just for fun

Ginnungagap isn't included in the maker yet but she'd be either fine or exist

Book ranking would be 6>=3>>>4=5>>2>>>>>7>1 but book 7 really is only saved by that book 1 didn't actually have a story

Alfonse's Savage Boar arc and Vero's Azure Moon arc sealed their position at the top. TL;DR they're both mitris 🥺 (but still lower than the actual mitri)

Never talked about it before but I love Letizia too for her silent but fierce hatred. Her insidious plan, the little acting she put up in front of Vero, her pathetic downfall and the last stand she kept for herself are all <3

Bruno got extra points for his exploding shirts 💯

Embla is held down by that her backstory and her action isn't well connected logically imo and the little bit of uwu sobfest from Vero but at least her backstory is good and I like her lines before the last battle.

Laegjarn has fallen off a bit especially with the weird trend of pairing her with Fjorm but her character is neat anyway.

The fairies are cute as a group although I don't understand why they simp for Freyja that hard.

Ymir & Freyr kinda feel like "they exist" too due to lack of story presence but I like them a bit more than those in the exist tier.

Otr and Eitri got their own tier for their yandere and meme power 🤪

Helbindi is a good guy but it cancelled out with my dislike to his design sorry 😔

Njordr is like the opposite case where he could easily move up 2 tiers for his art alone if his existence isn't just Man BaD™

Reginn could have gone 1 tier higher if not for the part where she went "Yay Dagr will take care of my country so I can stay with the summoner a bit longer!" RIGHT AFTER SHE JUST SWORE TO BE A GOOD KING AND AFTER WE LEARNED HOW HER COUNTRY HAD FOUGHT FOR INDEPENDENCE FROM JOTUN?? Like seriously???

Kvasir is a lot more tolerable than her older selves but the uwu is still there and they're the same person after all so unfortunate for her 😔

Heidr is a good kid who deserved better but her lines are so full of cringy fan services I just can't 😩

Nerpus seemed okay at a glance but the more I think about her actions the less sense they make. Especially how she knew things will go wrong but still gave you the Ar because uwu Sharon is too cute (instead of, you know, actually explain why Njordr bad?), or how she insists that you can't save Kvasir & Gullveig again and again only to later lend power to save them anyway 🙄

But good news even if I have complaints there's isn't a Heroes character I really hate yet, like the Nope tier would still be above Edel tier 😅

💧 💜

💜💜 this is from OTR Part #4... you can guess which episode probably 😍

💧Share something romantic/hot from your WIP, or just something sweet if it’s gen.

She bends her head towards his, but he hesitates, his eyes flickering to her lips. “This isn’t another con, is it?” She breathes out shakily, her voice barely a whisper. “No.” “Okay.” The two of them continue swaying back and forth, CJ’s heart pounding so loud that she can hardly hear the music. “Can we…” She swallows hard, trying not to picture how easily it would be to drag him off into one of the side halls of this place and show him what she would do if things were fair. If they weren’t who they are. “Can we call a truce?”

* ANGELES FOREST REFORESTATION EVENT.

los angeles es reconocida como una de las zonas de clima mayormente caluroso, pues incluso en invierno las temperaturas no logran ser demasiado bajas; esto a menudo les pone en emergencias con olas de calor, especialmente en verano, que a la par del error humano como el dejar basura en los espacios naturales o hacer fogatas en zonas desprotegidas derivan en tragedias que traen consigo consecuencias permanentes. ese ha sido el caso del último verano, con un incendio forestal que arrasó con la flora y la fauna de más de quince kilómetros a la redonda de la zona este del bosque nacional de la ciudad. es por eso que un llamado a la solidaridad aflora en las calles, panfletos y folletos se reparten entre todos los vecinos a la par de enormes campañas en busca de concientizar e invitar a cada habitante de los angeles a convertirse en el cambio que el mundo necesita. la invitación es clara, evento propone una repoblación forestal de emergencia, indicando que todo aquel que desee participar en la replantación de árboles en aquel espacio natural, se acerquen a la zona sur del bosque para ayudar.

domingo 22 de eneo, 4 pm.

para la alegría de los organizadores, espacio comienza a verse altamente concurrido por parte de todos los vecinos que desean sumar su granito de arena, pues propuesta no limita en edades y espacio llega a ser tranquilo y familiar. en la entrada, un arco anuncia evento llevándose a cabo y voluntarios reciben a los asistentes con guantes, palas, rastrillos, regaderas y todas las herramientas necesarias para traspasar de las macetas pequeñas a la tierra fértil miles de pequeños árboles que devolverán un poco de vida al parque nacional. para la alegría de los organizadores, espacio comienza a verse altamente concurrido por parte de todos los vecinos que desean sumar su granito de arena, pues propuesta no limita en edades y espacio llega a ser tranquilo y familiar. en la entrada, un arco anuncia evento llevándose a cabo y voluntarios reciben a los asistentes con guantes, palas, rastrillos, regaderas y todas las herramientas necesarias para traspasar de las macetas pequeñas a la tierra fértil miles de pequeños árboles que devolverán un poco de vida al parque nacional.

ambientación:

están haciendo 17 grados y el cielo se encuentra mayormente despejado, es un buen día para pasarlo al aire libre. si bien se encuentran en el bosque nacional de la ciudad, la zona en la que están reforestando es un predio abierto y sin muchos árboles, siendo ese el motivo por el cual se puede realizar ahí.

ooc:

pueden compartirnos sus outfits. recomendamos que se trate de ropa cómoda y que no corra riesgo de arruinarse en caso de que se ensucie.

los motivos por los que cada personaje se encuentre allí puede variar a gusto de cada user, para algunes será conveniencia e imagen pública, para otres realmente puede ser algo importante y que demanda su atención, tal vez algunes fueron solamente por estar aburrides... el por qué lo eligen ustedes.

esta actividad se desarrollará a través de starters. si gustan abrir un starter, juntar respuestas y en uno o dos días abrir otro más: es posible.

no se permiten convos privadas en esta actividad ni tampoco convos grupales.

al igual que en la actividad anterior, habrán intervenciones y juegos adicionales.

¡esperamos que les guste y se diviertan! ¡a escribir!

You're so right about their stylist they have since beginning of the year. She isn't doing them too many favors. I think I wrote something like this.

I pay the most attention to Vic's style bc I take the most inspiration from her fashion so most of these critiques are about her outfits. Sorry, I wish it was different too. Under the cut bc this is just me being a bitch.

I would say Vic's style (at least personal style but that bleeds through into style for work) is pretty 1970's & early 200's inspired. Like a good mix of those two. And I generally do Not like the Y2K fashion style but she has somehow SLIGHTLY made me hate it 0.2% less but I am still an unashamed hater of y2k fashion. <3

My main problem is the tops. What the fuck are these little scraps of fabric that I just know cost like $60? Not the bras but whatever's on her arms. They remind me of this tweet.

Also, I like to save clothes that remind me of something Måneskin might wear and tell me why this top immediately reminded me of Vic's recent style. A turtle would get caught in this and suffocate skdndknd

While we're talking about it: Ethan. Baby. ...????

How did they even get him in that? Sjsndn I love seeing Ethan's chest as much as the next Må Stan but as a Libra rising I must step in to say, gently, hey, what the fuck are you wearing?

Vic's also been wearing more skirts and dresses recently! Which is cool and great but why are they ugly.

I thought Damiano was going to wear the outfit here to the concert when they posted that ig story and was just like "alright, so we've given up entirely" but he did not so I won't roast him for this. Although the boys' outfits have been pretty forgettable for me. More on that later.

I watched Beyoncé have this problem on her and Jay-Z's OTR II tour. She was wearing these mini dresses but they would ride up during the show bc it's literally a Beyoncé concert, the choreography is insane. Ofc she would have shorts of something like that underneath the dresses so she didn't flash the crowd but still. Also Vic's boots are egregious. They make me nervous just looking at them. Did she trip during this show bc if not, HOW?? I know Damiano did a shoe change bc he was tripping on them but not Vic?? Wow, The power of women.

Pamona, California. *sighs* I believe this concert took place on April 20, 2022 which makes sense bc I would've believed the band got dressed while high.

Where should I start? Okay... The shoes? Start at the bottom maybe? Yeah. This outfit makes Vic look short. And, she is short. She especially looks short next to her tall bandmates who also like to wear heels. The tan folded over part of her boot creates a gap and interrupts the all black on her legs which stunts any height the outfit may have otherwise been tricking you into seeing. I thought that her tights/leggings just ended there but, no, it's her shoes. Then the hotpants (shorts). These are actually customized by the brand that made them, R&M Leathers, to remove the band at the top, I personally think this makes them look worse. I'm nitpicking now but it's my post and I will be as negative and unimpressed as I want when it comes to fashion.

Lastly, what is the top. Literally just tell me what's going on here. Mesh attached to a fur collar thing? No. Burn it.

This outfit is so disjointed and I dislike it so much that not even Vic being tits out can save it for me. Moving on.

Speed round.

1. Nobody, not even Damiano, can make that black and yellow bee striped sequin suit look good. I don't care that it's Gucci so when they make ugly clothes it's actually fashionable bc it's Gucci, this suit is horrid on the eyes. 2. Pinkpop Festival. The way Damiano had striped his outfit down to his underwear by the end of this show. So true king why did they put you in something so ugly. 3. Is he wearing five belts?? Pirate serve, I guess. 4. Why does Ethan have this grandma-ly corsage on his neck. 5. I kinda live for the idea of Vic's mesh dress, actually. The holes of the mesh are so big that her entire nipple shows through and I love that for her. I do however kind of think that the leggings ending is awkward? And the dress was falling down and riding up the entire show. 6. Overall, their outfits at Nova Rock 2022 did not beat their outfits at Nova Rock 2021.

I hate hate hate hate HATE the whale tail. I cannot stress to you enough how much I hate the whale tail.

I also hate when an outfit is only good is it's worn by a skinny person. That doesn't mean a fat person can't wear the outfit but it means that washboard abs are an accessory in the outfit. ie; people like Kendall Jenner & Dua Lipa being praised for their casual wear when it's boring at best and wack at worst and you know the only reason regular people like the outfit is because it's on a tall, skinny person. I hate outfits where a flat stomach is a required accessory.

In the ask that Tumblr ate, you said that they've had this stylist since January 2022. My reaction/response was iirc, quote, "Since JANUARY???" I had only been noticing how much I wasn't wowed by their style in the past two months since they started doing concerts more and had presumably been dressing themselves in day to day life while in LA. Dresslikemaneskin (real life savior) has been citing Anastasiia Gutnyk as a stylist since coachella so I'm pretty sure that, at least recently, is the stylist I'm not liking.

I could go on but it would be more cherrypicking and I dont want to do that. I know I hardly mentioned Ethan or Thomas in this post and that's because I've actually kinda liked their recent outfits. I liked Thomas' at Rock Am Ring, Rock in Park, in Lignano Sabbiadoro, supermodel mv, at Cannes, and both weekends of Coachella. Come to think of it though, his outfit at Jimmy Fallon recently was fucking wack. I liked Ethan's outfit at Cannes although it was reminiscent of a grandma's couch I think the fur on the sleeves elevates it. His rock am ring outfit was questionable. I cant even remember what he wore at Summer in the city fest. I didn't care for his Nova Rock outfit, I thought it was boring. Plus the boys end up taking their shirts off throughout the concert bc it gets too hot and then they're just in some boring pants. Work on the trousers. Okay I'm actually done now.

UNA TRSITE HISTORIA POR AMAR A TERUTERU./A SAD STORY FOR LOVING TERUTERU.

Esp: Hola, os vengo a contar una historia triste por amar a Teruteru y lo voy a dar a luz. Desde 2017 amaba a Teruteru pero como siempre me insultaban decidí dejarlo y resguardarme en otros personajes. Pero en 2021 no pude ocultarlo mas y decidí confesar que amo a Teruteru y hubo un tiempo que iba bien. Conocí gente maravillosa entre ellos dos amigos que los considero mis mejores amigos, mi crush, varios amigos maravillosos y sobre todo hice mi fanfic de Teruteru Hanamura x reader: Paraíso Culinario junto a uno de mis mejores amigos Akudama. Pensé que mi sufrimiento con el iba a terminar y podía ser feliz una vez en mi vida. No sabéis lo equivocada que estaba... El 7 de Noviembre del 2021 pregunte en Twitter por si me votaban para best Teruteru Stan por que había una cuenta para ver quien es el best Stan de los personajes de Danganronpa, Spoiler: Por ser la única gane por 100 y mucho de votos xD Y bueno, cuando dije eso unos cabrones se metieron conmigo por amar a Teruteru me dijeron literalmente "ojala te mates por que los stans de Teruteru son unos asquerosos" (No me acuerdo, por fortuna sus cuentas están suspendidas: Creo que mis amigos los denunciaron) y bueno, no lo dije aquí: Tengo depresión, en ese momento se me fue, pero vino otra vez, pensando que debería morirme y el mundo seria mas feliz sin mi, casi lo hago, esos cabrones se alegraron por casi matarme, los que no estaban felices por eso fueron mis amigos, estaban enfadados por esos cabrones y creo que impotentes por que casi me mato, el que paro mi suicidio fue mi maravilloso amigo y crush @FlecoFoshador69 una cuenta de rol de Teruteru de Twitter donde el usser es UN AMOR DE PERSONA! (Ojala conocerle en la vida real para darle un gran abrazo por haberme ayudado.) Vino a mi MD para decir literalmente "A ver. Quiero que te quedes aquí en el MD conmigo. Ignora cualquier notificación de las cuentas esas." y después de mi mensaje me dijo literalmente "No sigas contestando. Ni a esa cuenta ni a cualquier otra de las que la siguen. Simplemente bloquea." Me estuvo apoyando todo ese tiempo e intento hablar con ellos que no intento nada. De he hecho, me envió un mensaje tan bonito que si estoy mal por culpa de alguien lo leo. Un resumen de ese mensaje que no diré por que es muy personal mío; me dijo que espera que este mejor aunque sea un poquito, que es consciente que lo que estoy pasando mal que me apoya muchísimo a pesar de que tarde en contestar y aparecer, me dijo que soy un amor y que me merezco lo mejor que pueda haber. Que no deje que una panda de gilipollas (palabras suyas xD) me hunda, que sabe que yo soy fuerte y que puedo de sobra con ello. Que de los errores se aprende. Y este mensaje me hundió mucho mi corazón lo diré tal cual cual xD: "No me gustaría saber que estás mal por algo así, porque simplemente no merece la pena. Si pudiera te daba un abrazo enorme, que te lo mereces" ese mensaje me hizo saber que este niño es lo mas bueno que hay en este mundo ;; Al pasar el tiempo esos cabrones ya se olvidaron de eso y a lo mejor buscaron otre pobre usuarie para burlarse de ellos por sus gustos, pero la que no se olvido de eso fui yo. Y si todo fuera poco en Enero un loco en Face me dijo literalmente "si no te matas iré yo a tu casa y te matare de una forma muy dolorosa y en las partes donde no te morirás rápidamente para que mueras lentamente" (Lo denuncie y ya su cuenta esta tirada) y en ese momento decidí abandonar a un poco a Teruteru y decidí irme con Camilo Madrigal estuve así 4 meses desde Febrero hasta Mayo por que sabia que si amaba a el ya no podían meterse conmigo... Pero cuando ya fui con Teruteru, ayer un cabrán me dijo que las fans de Teruteru merecemos pena de muerte. (Si preguntáis: ayer lo denuncie y Twitter le tiro la cuenta incluso me ofreció su ayuda por ese mensaje) No me gustaría que esto siguiese y por eso os cuento mi historia. No tengáis miedo en admitir que os gusta un personaje y no dejéis que unos gilipollas hagan que cambiéis de gusto por que eso es lo que os hace únicos y especiales y merecéis mucho apoyo si pasa eso ^^ Tenéis mi apoyo y por cualquier cosa mi MD esta abierto siempre por si queréis hablar de eso y yo os daré mi apoyo. Animo y suerte a todes que os esta pasando esto ^^ Los reblogs y me gustan son de mucha ayuda!

Eng: Hi, I'm here to tell you a sad story for loving Teruteru and I'm going to give birth to him. Since 2017 I loved Teruteru but since they always insulted me I decided to leave him and take refuge in other characters. But in 2021 I couldn't hide it anymore and I decided to confess that I love Teruteru and there was a time that went well. I met wonderful people including two friends that I consider my best friends, my crush, several wonderful friends and above all I made my Teruteru Hanamura x reader fanfic: Culinary Paradise with one of my best friends Akudama. I thought that my suffering with him would end and I could be happy once in my life. You don't know how wrong I was... On November 7, 2021 I asked on Twitter if they voted me for best Teruteru Stan because there was an account to see who is the best Stan of the Danganronpa characters, Spoiler: For being the only one I won by 100 and a lot of votes xD And well, when I said that some bastards messed with me for loving Teruteru they literally told me "I hope you kill yourself because Teruteru's stans are disgusting" (I don't remember, luckily their accounts are suspended: I think my friends reported them ) and well, I didn't say it here: I have depression, at that moment it went away, but it came again, thinking that I should die and the world would be happier without me, I almost did, those bastards were happy for almost killing me, the the ones who weren't happy about that were my friends, they were angry about those bastards and I think they were powerless because they almost killed me, the one who stopped my suicide was my wonderful friend and crush @FlecoFoshador69 a roleplaying account of Teruteru from Twitter where the usser is A LOVE OF PERSON! (I wish I could meet him in real life to give him a big hug for helping me out.) He came to my DM to literally say "Let's see. I want you to stay here in the DM with me. Ignore any notifications from those accounts." and after I texted him he literally told me "Don't reply anymore. Not to that account or any other accounts that follow it. Just block." He was supporting me all that time and I try to talk to them that I don't try anything. In fact, he sent me such a nice message that if I'm upset because of someone I read it. A summary of that message that I will not say because it is very personal to me; He told me that he hopes that I am better even a little bit, that he is aware that what I am going through wrong that he supports me a lot despite the fact that he takes time to answer and appear, he told me that I am a love and that I deserve the best that can be . That I don't let a bunch of assholes (his words xD) sink me, that he knows that I'm strong and that I can handle it. That you learn from mistakes. And this message sank my heart a lot, I'll say it as is xD: "I wouldn't like to know that you're wrong for something like that, because it's just not worth it. If I could I'd give you a huge hug, you deserve it" that message sent me made it known that this child is the best thing in this world;; As time passed, those bastards already forgot about that and maybe they looked for another poor user to make fun of them for their likes, but the one who didn't forget that was me. And if all were not enough, in January a madman on Face literally told me "if you don't kill yourself, I will go to your house and kill you in a very painful way and in the parts where you won't die quickly so that you die slowly" (I denounced it and and his account is thrown) and at that moment I decided to abandon Teruteru a little and I decided to go with Camilo Madrigal I was like this for 4 months from February to May because I knew that if I loved him they could no longer mess with me... But when I went with Teruteru, yesterday a bastard told me that Teruteru's fans deserve the death penalty. (If you ask: yesterday I reported him and Twitter knocked his account even offered me his help for that message) I would not like this to continue and that is why I am telling you my story. Don't be afraid to admit that you like a character and don't let some assholes make you change your taste because that's what makes you unique and special and you deserve a lot of support if that happens ^^ You have my support and for anything my MD is always open if you want to talk about it and I will give you my support. Cheer up and good luck to all that this is happening to you ^^ Reblogs and likes are very helpful!

A Student's Journey Through Evidence-Based Practice

Pursuing a career in occupational therapy is an exciting journey that combines classroom learning with practical experience. I have had the honour of seeing how evidence-based practice has refined clinical skills and shaped interventions as an occupational therapy student. Join me as I discuss how, as a student occupational therapist, evidence-based practice has guided my hospital experience.

Evidence-based practice requires using clinical reasoning to combine data from four sources: the practice context, the patient's values and circumstances, research findings, and clinical competence (Hoffmann et al 2017, p.4). Occupational therapy (OT) adopted evidence-based practice to support the development of clinical services and substantiate daily OT practices (Leung, 2002).  It refers to the conscientious, explicit and judicious use of the most up-to-date evidence when determining how best to treat certain clients.

As an occupational therapy student, evidence-based practice serves as a guide in various clinical encounters and interventions.

As part of my role, I carry out in-depth assessments to determine the goals, difficulties, and strengths of every client I see. I collect useful data to guide intervention planning by utilising standardised assessments and evidence-based assessment tools like the Barthel Index. Through integrating in-depth research and clinical skills, I develop customised intervention plans that improve functional independence and patient quality of life.

As an Occupational therapist or occupational therapy student, you research your patient's diagnosis and obtain professional medical data from research publications.

I monitor my patients and assess the success of my interventions regularly. I monitor the growth and results of my interventions through ongoing outcome assessments and client-reported outcomes, and I adjust my approach based on data when necessary. This continuous process keeps interventions adaptable to patients' changing needs and goals, promoting a flexible and client-centred approach to care.

As a third-year student of occupational therapy, navigating hospital-based practice while embracing evidence-based practice comes with its set of difficulties. These include navigating the extensive body of research literature, putting theory into practice, managing time constraints, dealing with complex patient presentations, and collaborating with the multidisciplinary team. But with dedication, growth, and a focus on evidence-based practice as well as remaining open to feedback, I was able to overcome these challenges and grow as a more capable and compassionate future practitioner who will positively affect the lives of her patients.

Evidence-based practice is still at the centre of my work as a third-year occupational therapy student, directing interventions, changing decisions, and producing significant results for patients. By embracing the most recent research findings, integration of clinical experience, and respect for patients' values and choices, I am well-equipped to positively influence the lives of those receiving care. As a future occupational therapist, I look forward to playing a transforming role through dedication, reflection, and a commitment to evidence-based practice.

Sarah Jarosz at Memoriał Hall OTR, Cincinnati, Ohio, April 26, 2024

Touring behind Polaroid Lovers, Sarah Jarosz is leaning heavily into the album, culling more than half of her 19-song set from the 2024 LP.

This makes the shows - like the album itself - more pop- and rock-learning than anything Jarosz has done as a solo artist or as a member of I’m with Her. As such, Jarosz, clad in leather pants and a black top April 26 inside Cincinnati’s Memorial Hall OTR, stuck exclusively to the mic on a late-show cover of Massive Attack’s “Teardrop” and played banjo only once, on “Green Lights.”

“Even Beyoncé’s doing it,” she said of the clawhammer. “I’m here for it.”

Backed by a three-piece band and mostly playing octave mandolin and acoustic guitar herself, Jarosz opened the show with four Polaroid Lovers cuts that set the tone for the evening. Bassist Daniel Kimbro provided an early highlight with an exquisite electric-bass solo on “The Way it is Now;” many of Jarosz’s own instrumental showcases, however, were blunted by Fred Eltringham’s drums, which overpowered much of the interplay between Jarosz, Kimbro and guitarist/harmony vocalist Seth Taylor, with whom the frontwoman struck some rock ‘n’ roll poses, throughout the 90-minute performance.

The unfortunate drum mix made Jarosz’s solo-acoustic rendering of “Jacqueline” and a trio rendition of “Morning” all the more sweet. And when Eltringham used his hands and/or bushes on his kit as on the stunning country ballad “Days Can Turn Around” - a Polaroid highlight - it was a reminder that the show’s relative weaknesses had more to do with the material and the mix than the people on the stage festooned with candles, mic stands with braided greenery and a big red heart on the kick drum.

Nods to Jarosz’s back catalog, including “Build Me up from Bones;” “Maggie,” on which Taylor handled John Leventhal’s acoustic guitar parts on electric; and Jarosz’s interpretation of Bob Dylan’s “Ring Them Bells” reinforced the fact.

Canadian singer-songwriter Le Ren warmed up the sold-out house with a well-received 30-minute set in a duo format that found her acoustic guitar accompanied by lap steel and hollow-bodied electric guitars. The playlist included George Jones’ “The Day I Lose My Mind;” Townes Van Zandt’s “Colorado Girl;” and such originals as “Diane,” a paean to the singer’s mother.

If I could look into the center of the sun, I think I’d see her there, Le Ren sang in a voice flecked with bits of early Joni Mitchell.

What’s the “best” density for the design of cities today?

It is difficult to find a “perfect” block size and density in American cities, however, there still exists many good examples of urban fabric. When combining all the factors that make urban living viable, we come to the consensus that an ideal population density is around 35 Units per acre (16,000 people per square mile, 161.7 Ppl/Mi^2). In Cincinnati, there exists historic sections of the city that support this population density such as the neighborhood of Over the Rhine (OTR). When looking at OTR, we find that many blocks meet our criteria for good density for our cities today.  

Our Block:  

Our group chose the block between Race St., Republic St., & W. 14th, in northern section of Over the Rhine. What makes this block of Cincinnati such a desirable example is the pleasant streetscape that allows nearby buildings to thrive. This sort of density rarely exists in American cities, so this remaining block of legacy housing stock has become incredibly valuable. Let's look at the qualities of this block that represent our ideal city density. 

"Race Street" by Travis Estell is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 2.0. 

Density:  

Our block is almost entirely comprised of 3-4 story European style rowhomes, with a FAR of 2.7 and 36 Units per Acre. This density gives the streetscape a sense of scale without crowding the sky or overwhelming its residents. The buildings host a mix of uses, with commercial on the street level and offices and residential units above. This contributes to the community's overall walkability, with jobs, housing, and shops all within a good distance of each other, this also makes it easier for public transit to operate efficiently. The commercial also brings more people to the area, bringing life and safety to the block by increasing the eyes on the street.

Transit:  

The Connector, Cincinnati’s tram network runs adjacent to our block (up Race St) benefiting the travel flow through the neighborhood. The tram reduces carbon emissions, makes travel more accessible for citizens, and reduces noise levels. The tram reduces road space comparable to other vehicles and the number of cars on the road by providing a reliable mode of travel, benefiting the density of the city.  

"Race Street, Over-the-Rhine, Cincinnati, OH" by w_lemay is marked with CC0 1.0. 

Plazas and Greenery:  

Foot traffic is a very integral part of our block. Tree lined streets flow into public parks and plazas, granting access into the blocks interior and creating spaces people want to use. These pleasant additions promote foot traffic in the area, which cuts down carbon emissions from vehicles as well as reduces traffic in the city. The block's proximity to a major park (Washington Park) & its interior plaza gives residents easy access to open areas for public events and provides a sense of community. The clean alleyway leading through the block's interior and the pedestrianized street make our block more porous and overall, more walkable. 

Overall, our block combines elements such as greenery, transit access, mixed use developments, a dense street network, and the regulation of cars to create a good, porous block near the heart of Cincinnati. These amenities work best in denser environments, which is what makes Over the Rhine such a desirable neighborhood.  

Class Question: Is density the most important aspect of your ideal city, do you find any other elements to be more important?

Washington Park

Whyte describes an ideal plaza/public space using 7 main criteria. Washington Park in OTR, Cincinnati perfectly encapsulates what Whyte described and wrote about. We directed each principle of Whyte's and how Washington Park fits the description.

Principle 1 Sitting Spaces

From benches to moveable seats and tables, Washington Park has a plethora of seating available.

(Cincinnati CityBeat)

As seen here, there is a large gazebo structure in the center of the park with picnic tables and moveable seating. There are heaters there during the winter season so people can still enjoy the park in the cold, as well as a cover incase it rains. The tables create a shared public experience that strangers can come and share together.

This image shows both the benches that line the entire park and the moveable chairs and tables that are both perfect seating areas. This provides an enjoyable seating experience for park guests so they can have conversations and relax.

Principle 2 Most important thing about a space is its physical and visual relationship to the street

Whytes second principle is that it is most important for the space to have a strong physical and visual connection to the streets around it. Washington park does an exceptional job at connecting the park to the street. Since Washington park does such a good job of connecting itself to the streets around it, it promotes pedestrians to enter the park since it feels just like the streets they were walking on before. For example, before every FC Cincinnati game, there is a fan supporter parade that goes through Washington park. They can do this because there are no obstructions from the street that wouldn’t allow them to easily enter the park.

Principle 3 Light is vital, even if bounced/reflected from other buildings; the sun is only importanton cold days

In Whyte’s book “The Social Life of Small Urban Spaces,” he wrote about the importance of lighting in plazas. Washington Park offers multiple diverse sources of light, each attributed to the comfortable environment of the plaza. Within the water features there are lights included under the water fountain. As shown in the image given. This creates a playful and visually attractive feeling for the plaza. These lights do not create glares or harsh shadows confiding to Whyte's principles. The open space of the plaza allows for plenty of sunlight to reach the area. As for nighttime ambiances, many lighting fixtures and lamp posts are provided to light up pathways and popular areas.  

Principle 4 Water: fountains, rain garden, pond, water sounds are vital

fountains and water element could be most critical and attractive parts of Washington Square Park for tourist, It has a multi-function water recycle system. the spar ground in the surface level is the most tourist friendly part of whole system. it a good place for all age tourist surrounded by bower and chair, it actively interactive with tourist, and the water are all natural collective by collect system and purified by underground purify system. most of water use in green space and rain garden of Washington Square Park are all from this system, even the toilets water use are supported by this system. Father more, they hold a lot vocation events in spar ground during summer, festival and any other necessary times.

Principle 5 Trees create semi-enclosed spaces and help shade and reduce glare

In Washington Square Park, trees are strategically used in certain parts of the park. On one end there is a large clearing which allows more open movement and a place for those to lay out and enjoy the sun.

On the other end there is plenty of seating and an abundance of trees. This provides respite from harsh summer days and rest for those who may have been playing in the sun.

By striking a balance between open and shaded areas Washington Square Park allows for visitors to enjoy themselves more and stay for an extended amount of time.

Principle 6 - Access to Food / Water Located in the heart of Washington Park is a concession stand called The Porch. This kiosk serves cold and warm beverages along with snacks. The Porch acts as both a shelter away from the elements and a place for parkgoers to refuel without having to vacate the park. During special fairs and events, additional food may be around at pop-up concession stands or small businesses in booths. Not only does this keep people in the park, but it also benefits small businesses. 

The Porch @ Washington Park - washingtonpark.org

Principle 7 - Triangulation Washington Park has an iconic gazebo in the middle of the park. This gazebo hosts many events, for instance when bands come in or when couples get married. When the park hosts vending fairs, for instance, the vendors are all stationed around the gazebo, and it remains a centerpiece of the event and the icon of many photographs. The gazebo serves as the heart of the park, with arteries of pathways from all over the park leading to a single meeting point at this iconic landmark. As people enter the park, they are directed towards the gazebo, and it remains the center of attention and one of the first noticeable things that catches one's eye as they near closer.

Discussion Question:

Do you agree with us that Washington Park fulfills the 7 criteria from Whyte? Why or why not?

Le grandi auto: Fiat Topolino

L’auto che raccontò parte della storia dell’Italia tra le  due guerre… Nel 1934 l’ingegnere Lessia, direttore tecnico della Fiat, affidò al gruppo del ventinovenne ingegnere Giacosa, della sezione Motori Avio, il compito di progettare il telaio per una vettura piccola, che poteva essere venduta a 5.000 lire, secondo le direttive ricevute dal management. Il gruppo di Giacosa non aveva mai progettato un’automobile, ma ebbe subito l’idea di un telaio minimale e una scocca che collaborava alla rigidità dell’insieme. Un ulteriore elemento di innovazione, promosso da Fessia, fu la compatibilità del progetto con la trazione anteriore: con lo spazio completamente libero tra i fuselli delle ruote e la presa di moto sul cambio, la sospensione anteriore a balestra trasversale così la nuova automobile, con ritocchi significativi, aveva dei semiassi oscillanti a portare il moto alle ruote anteriori. A partire dal dicembre 1934 il progetto ebbe la denominazione e il nome commerciale di Fiat 500, poi presentata ufficialmente sul mercato il  15 giugno 1936 . Con il successo della iniziale versione berlina si affiancò ben presto quello della versione trasformabile, che dava  maggior comfort nella stagione estiva e la possibilità di guadagnare, a tetto aperto, ben due posti posteriori. La Topolino era una auto con una attenzione non comune alla carrozzeria e al prezzo di un’automobile di base. Già nel 1938 la 500 ebbe un ridisegno di tipo retrogrado, con il telaio  convenzionale prolungato per l’applicazione di balestre semi-ellittiche. La produzione si assestò oltre le 20.000 unità annualmente prodotte, ma l’inizio del conflitto impattò pesantemente sui dati di produzione fino a ridurre a solo 177 il numero dei prodotti nel corso del 1944. Dopo la pausa produttiva del ‘44-’45 il successo riprese on oltre 12.000 unità prodotte nel 1947. Nel 1948 fu presentato al Salone di Ginevra il modello Fiat 500 B , dove il telaio venne sensibilmente rinnovato con nuovi ammortizzatori, nuove balestre e pneumatici di maggior sezione. Il successo  venne confermato con otre 21.000 unità prodotte nel periodo 1948 – 1949, cui seguì la 500 C. on l’alloggiamento interno della ruota di scorta in un apposito vano, accessibile dall’esterno, dotato di sportello e serratura, i fanali incassati nei parafanghi e il cofano in unico pezzo con apertura comandata dall’interno. Accanto alla Berlina si affiancò subito la versione Giardiniera con pannelli e portiere lignee, così come era stato per il modello B. Nel 1951 la Giardiniera venne aggiornata con un modello, denominato Belvedere,  che sostituì alla scocca mista una interamente metallica che riprese, con un motivo a pannelli di diverso colore, il look della giardiniera senza ereditarne gli inconvenienti strutturali e di manutenzione. La versione Belvedere ebbe un successo straordinario, con la sua capacità di trasportare 4 persone più bagaglio e la sua versatilità che la fecero diventare un veicolo commerciale con un buon volume di carico. Questa duplice personalità segnò il paesaggio, urbano ed extraurbano, dell’Italia della ricostruzione ben oltre la cessazione della produzione della Fiat Topolino, avvenuta nel gennaio 1955, ma lasciando un segno indelebile nel cuore degli italiani.

Revisión de objetivos 2023.

1.Pensar más en lo que me apetece hacer a mi y no aceptar tanto lo que le apetece a los demás (sobretodo en cuanto a planes para salir)❌

Jajajaja he caido otra vez, en cierta parte lo he conseguido en otr no. Mejor dejarlo así.

2.Resumir todos los temas de la oposicion. Hacerme los test varias veces y aprenderme el nombre de las leyes. Si ya me leo varias veces los temas resumidos, seria genial. ❌

3 examenes que han caido este año. Todos suspensos. Este objetivo

3. Fortalecer los brazos (desde que me cai hace un año siento el brazo tocado y me da miedo hacerme daño por otra caida o en el trabajo) ✔️

Aunque sigo algo acomplejada con mis brazos, creo que he cogido algo de musculo. ¿Me queda mejorar mucho? Pues sí, pero no he hecho ni una gota de pesas ni de ejercicio especifico. Pero que haya una mejora, sobretodo en cuanto a la ultima revisión en Abril, no esta mal.

4.Ir a nadar a una piscina (que no sea en verano) ❌

Lo he mirado varias veces, he pensado este dia reservo dia, tengo todo preparado para ir, pero no he ido ni una vez.

5.Conducir más❌

En serio este era un objetivo? Que ni me acordaba de que era un objetivo de verdad, pero si llevo sin pasarme por aqui desde mayo, es normal.. Pues puede ser que haya conducido 3 veces en verano y casi obligada.

6. Maquillarme menos (aprender a maquillarme en la pandemia estuvo bien pero quiero volver a salir solo con la raya del ojo y pintalabios)✔️

Lo he cumplido, es lo que tiene estar cansada y no querer dedicar tiempo a otra cosa mas que a descansar. Eso si, cuando me querido maquillarme no lo he cumplido pero creo que el objetivo esta cumplido. Mi piel ha mejorado bastante estos ultimos meses.

7.Abrazar más (desde la pandemia, me cuesta dar dos besos y abrazar, porque no se si las otras personas quieren o les da miedo... )✔️

Pues sinceramente, es algo que a día de hoy me sigue costando pero creo que siempre me cuesta bastante cuando no tengo confianza. En estos ultimos meses sobretodo en este ultimo, he codigo confianza con gente y he dado algun que otro abrazo, por voluntad propia de inicio. Lo cual me ha alegrado proque no me acordaba tampoco de este objetivo. ¿Lo he cumplido como queria? Pues no, pero me doy por satisfecha. Puedo mejorar, lo haré. Dame confianza. La tengo.

8. Autovalorarme mas en el curro, creermelo más y darlo todo.✔️

La ultima vez que escribi, puse: cuesta mas autovalorarme en este aspecto a la hora de volver a buscar curro. 17 de abril. Pues bonita, lo has conseguido.. Has pasado por 2 curros nuevos a fecha de hou. Asi que crero que te has esforzado y te ha salido bien. Que no estas donde querias no. Para eso, pienso ahora en el enunciado del objetivo: "Autovalorarme mas en el curro, creermelo más y darlo todo" pues si, lo has hecho tanto que has tenido que he "dejado" mi trabajo actual, porque no me llevaba a ningún lado y va a salir otro mejor seguro. ¿Motivada para ello? 0, como siempre. Pero es cuestión de que ahora se que valgo para algo mejor, me lo creo y voy a por ello. Y si es mi super objetivo este año, cumplido al 100%. Pero tendré que formularlo mejor para el proximo año para no quemarme y quedarme en un maldito sitio de una vez, Mi paga extra tambien lo dice.

9.Escuchar más la música de un mismo cantante/banda y no dejarlo en el olvido hasta nunca jamás.❌

Estooo.... 17 de abril = 19 diciembre.

10-Intentar organizarme para no perder tanto el tiempo en cosas banales (como canales de youtube que estoy suscrita, redes sociales, etc.)❌

Si es cierto que cada mes mejoro la tecnica pero he estado estresada y a ultima hora cuando me tenia que ir a la cama me enganchaba a tiktok o a instagram... sin sentido lo se.

11. Ver más a mis amigas.❌

Mal, muy mal. Fatal, no se como siguen siendo mis amigas.

12.Abordar el tema que tengo con la nostalgia y esas personas que creo que son mis amigos pero ni siquiera me escriben al menos que yo lo haga primero.✔️

Voy entendiendo que tengo que echar de menos a gente y que lo voy a hacer siempre y que quizas, ellos me echan de menos a mi. O que como yo me acuerdo puntualmente de gente, lo hacen conmigo. Pero ya no tengo ese resentimiento ante el echar de menos a la gente. Supongo que porque este año, al pasr por 3 trabajos, he pasado por la vida de mucha gente, en algunos un recuerdo espcial y en otros no tanto. Se me acumulan los numeros de telefono en la agenda. Encima pensando en hacer limpiezaa de estos ultimos 3 años o más, porque no merece la pena. Reitero lo que dije en abril: Para mi si tu eres mi amigo o te considero mi amigo, eres mi amigo hasta el fin de mis días. Eso no va a cambiar nunca. Soy asi y me gusta como soy. Creo que el no tener tiempo para pensar en esto al final ha sido mejor que abordarlo. La vida es asi. Eso si, intento seguri escribiendo a quien me importa. Lo intento..

13. Intentar que un correo de gmail tenga espacio y no tener que preocuparme cada semana de lo mismo. Carajo.✔️❌ (porque no se que decirte...:)

Abril: 98% de almacednamiento . Diciembre: 93% Algo ha mejorado. Pero carajo. Necesito tiempo para hacer limpieza. Maldito google fotos.

Van: 6/13.

14.Revisar si sigo cumpliendo mas o menos los objetivos del 2022
