"Free Translation/ Lao Tzu" (Man Arai): Essay

Woman holding water

Man Arai, he accurately translated the lyrics of Mary Frye, the original poem of "A Thousand Winds", composed and made a big hit in Japan. He is a famous writer in Japan.

He had a weak constitution since childhood, and as a reading, he was familiar with "The Analects" (Confucius's sayings and deeds) and "Lao Tzu", but as he got older, "Lao Tzu" became more comfortable. That's right. Therefore, he wrote this book, "Free Translation /Lao Tzu" (Asahi newspaper, 2007).

In this book, Mr. Arai cut out unnecessary parts of "Lao Tzu" and reconstructed all 81 chapters (9*9) into 18 chapters (2*9). It's a short summary over and over, and you'll finish reading it in 30 minutes. Well, if you cut that much useless (!!) part, it will be that amount. (To put it bluntly, this is a presumptuous book that uses Lao Tzu as a soup stock.)

After reading it, I thought, "It's too clean." When Lao Tzu's words are translated into Japanese as they are, it is an accurate translation, but by “omitting”, the “diversity” of Lao Tzu is hidden, and Mr. Arai says, “I want it to be like this.”Lao Tzu image is amplified as he wants. Lao Tzu is not "clean".

Also, I was concerned that the expression “Boku”, which appears many times throughout Lao Tzu's writing, only appeared once, and that it was treated as unimportant.

Then, I found a statement in Arai's translation that should be clearly wrong. This is the expression on page 28, “Water conforms to the shape of the container” which is translated by Arai as meaning “water that has the flexibility to take any shape.”

Although this is very likely, it is an expression that does not appear in Lao Tzu, and it is an expression that originated mainly in Confucianism, and was included in the Jitsugo-sutra, which was used as a textbook for self-cultivation in Japan for a long time. It's a thing. This word means "If you make a bad person a friend, you become bad too." They have completely different origins and opposite meanings. To write something that is not in the text of “Lao Tzu” as if he said it would be ignorant and would be blasphemy to Lao Tzu.

Words of the Day: In general, this book is biased, and I don't think it's necessary to read it, but an anthology containing words that Lao Tzu would never say, such as “If you love someone deeply, you will gain strength.” I think that both is harmful.

@snail-eggs's Boss, Xixi Rosario!

WOOO AFTER[checks date I finished this drawing] A MONTH. I FINALLY HAVE THE BRAIN JUICE TO TALK ABOUT (CAUSE I FINALLY CAN FUCKING WORD IT)

SOULS AND ATTUNEMENTS

Souls work in combination with memory to make up the very essence of life. Every living being is granted a soul and attunement when they are born, and when one perishes, their soul slowly dissipates back into the natural magic of the world. A complete loss of memory will not erase things that are ingrained into the very soul, such as instincts and proficiencies; Meaning memory can be erased, but a soul will remember. Souls cannot survive outside the body, and will fade over time, unless they are kept in a container that has been engraved with specific runes. The amount of time it takes for a soul to fade is determined by the entities magical prowess. However, very rarely, someone can be born with a soul that does not line up with their prowess; such as someone born with a magically adept soul that cannot survive long, or a soul that will survive for months on its own, but is magically inept. If a soul has not faded, it is possible to resurrect the entity; However, if the soul has faded, attempting to bring the entity back will instead cause them to come back 'Voidtouched'.

In theory, you could give a soul an artificial body and inject its memories. Mind and soul, they'd be the same person, just in a different body. Though, the moral discussion of this is very heavily debated in the medical community; so much so, the last person to argue for it was kicked out and had their medical license stripped.

Magical prowess is on a scale, determined by both birth, and attunement. The way to determine someone's magical proficiency varies from species to species, and some species are just naturally adept/inept with, magic, but with humans the easiest method is by the shape of their ears. Those with rounded normal ears are magically inept, and except for their halo's, require outside resources to perform magic. Pointed ears are a tier up from that, with long elf like ears being a tier up from pointed, and floppy almost sheep like ears meaning someone is extremely magically gifted.

However, even the magically inept can make and use runes; Runes are attached directly to attunements, every attunement has a rune, and combinations of different runes can create different effects. Runes are very commonly used across the world, and are why clothing sizes do not exist, since they simply have runes sewn into them to make them conform to the person; Though tightness of clothes varies from brand to brand. They are also used to create minor illusions on art pieces and in food/drink, are put on bandages to heal small injuries, and engraved onto charms to make them protect the wearer from all blunt trauma for a set duration. It's so common, in fact, that no-one considers it magic.

Attunements tie heavily into personality and what type of magic comes easiest to a person. (And while originally I wrote out an entire thing explaining each one, it fits better that they're a bit vague; cause tbh it's more of a 'feeling' when I pick attunement.) There are 20 total attunements in 10 pairs: Toxic & Healing, Electric & Energy, Nature & Earth, Fire & Crystal, Shadow & Void, Sound & Mental, Metal & Light, Water & Ice, Time & Tar, and Breeze & Cloud. The attunements in a pair tend to be opposites, and no attunement is inherently evil; A person's morality comes down to who they are, not their attunement.

Introduction

I am Crystal, on a journey to explore mysterious and magical tropical ecology. The theme of my blog is about coral reefs. I choose this because people always say they are important; they are dying now; we must save them. This raises my curiosity to know more about coral reefs. In the exploration of coral reefs, I will share and divide my findings into five entries as follows:

First entry

formation of coral reefs

growing environments

Second entry

Diverse shapes and types of corals

Factors affecting the conformations of corals

Third entry

Feeding behaviour of corals

Reproduction mechanisms

Fourth entry

Ecological relationship between coral reefs and other marine creatures (describe using examples)

Fifth entry

Significance of coral reefs in tropical marine ecosystem

Now, you roughly know what I am going to say about coral reefs. So, let us move on to the first entry.

Coral reefs - Animals or plants?

When you dive into the ocean, you are surprised by the beautiful and gorgeous scene at the seabed - the colourful coral reefs. When first looking at corals, you will immediately think they are beautiful plants. Yes, they look very similar to plants but are actually animals. Corals are coelenterates (Goreau, Goreau & Goreau 1979). The phylum's name comes from the Greek words koilos (hollow) and enteron (gut), so corals are hollow guts because their main and long body cavity is the digestive tract (Goreau, Goreau & Goreau 1979).

From corals to coral reefs

Corals are simple and multicellular animals. But how do they grow into the extensive coral reefs we usually find in the ocean? The living, carbonate coral reef system is established from the symbiotic relationship between the reef-building corals and plant-like dinoflagellates (Hoegh-Guldberg 2011). Dinoflagellates are unicellular organism that lives inside the gastrodermal cells of reef-building corals in the order Sclerantinia in the Class Anthozoa and the Phylum Cnidaria (Hoegh-Guldberg 2011). Dinoflagellates are called plant-like because they can perform the unique skill of plants - photosynthesis. In the corals’ gastrodermal cells, dinoflagellates provide a lot of energy from photosynthesis to the coral host (Hoegh-Guldberg 2011). In return, the corals feed dinoflagellates with the metabolized inorganic nutrients, which their quantity is very low in the clear tropical and subtropical marine water (Muscatine et al. 2005).

Fastidious coral reefs

Coral reefs are very picky to the growing environments. They only like ocean water that is sunlit, clear and warm (Goreau, Goreau & Goreau 1979). In addition, they only grow in shallow marine sites at a depth below 100 m and in regions within 30˚ north or south of the equator (Hoegh-Guldberg 2011) because their photosynthetic symbiont requires abundant sunlight. They need clear ocean water because the turbidity can inhibit light penetration (Hoegh-Guldberg 2011). The ocean temperature should be stable and warm (Kleypas et al. 1999). For instance, the ocean temperature cannot fall below 18˚C in places with winter (Kleypas et al. 1999). The growing sites should also contain splendid carbonate ions, which are critical to the calcification of corals (Hoegh-Guldberg 2011). Collectively, coral reefs mainly thrive in shallow equatorial coastal regions because these areas are typically sunlit, warm and supersaturated with carbonate ions.

The Unwilling Queen

Media The Last legion 

Character Emperor Romulus Augusts 

Couple Romulus X Reader

Rating Cute

Concept: ‘Oh let me guess you have a great Personality’ 

I stood on the marble floor, my heart beating out of my chest. My Sandals sat on the marble stone laced up my legs with their usual ribbons. My long chiffon purple dress with my darker blue ties around my waist, under my breasts, and over each shoulder the small cutouts down my sleeves. My hair was pinned up in braids with the sweet lavender flowers stuck into my hair, my locket around my neck and a few bangles around my wrists.

I stood lined up with sixteen other women about my age, all of us both dramatically different and utterly the same.

In the sense that our hair, faces, and bodies were different yet we all had dressed up and rouged our cheeks in an attempt to conform to the standard of Venus.

What seems like months ago now, word came from Rome that the young emperor was at last ready to choose his bride. Many options were considered on how this would be arranged but it ended up very simple.

One fair maiden was to be chosen from each sworn member of the high council. The high council of course contained each of the empire's lords, the high Roman leaders and other such notable men. Some excused themselves or had no fair maidens to give meaning the selection was of course the sixteen of us who now lined up.

I was nervous, I had no right to be here. I was the last in the long line.

My father is on the council but he is merely the lord of Britannia dealing with the few legions and locations still there. It hadn't been said that I shouldn't be included but I know many thought it.

I watched the flames of the torches flicker, the guards who loomed over all doors and windows, and the gentle trickling of water from the little statue of a woman pouring water in the feature on the edge of the room.

Suddenly the doors opened to all the men of the council who all filed in all smiling at their elected ladies and talking amongst themselves. I saw my father who gave me a gentle smile.

Soon enough two of the royal guards headed in, behind them the two advisors in their usual garbs. Then in stepped the emperor himself with two more royal guards following behind him.

He was barefoot for some reason, in Tight cotton trousers of a golden colour, a long red shirt that's edge hit his thighs, with a tied belt of the same fabric around… his waist. I had seen the emperor very briefly as much as any girl in Rome had really, from balconies and the occasional event. He was a thin man with a body that reminded me of the Colloms to the temples tall, thin, without much divot or shape. He had a few rings of gold and a bangle around his upper arm with the Aquila or eagle a prominent symbol of the crown and never not about his persons. He had a madness of blonde hair often without his crown. I had honestly rarely seen him in it beyond his coronation. He seemed annoyed to even be here like he had been dragged away from something.

"What do you want?" Where the first words out of his mouth to the advisors by his side

"It is time your grace," they said

"Right. For what?"

"To select the future empress, your grace. The mother to the heir." They explained indicating to the line of young ladies

The young emperor looked at the line before him and pulled a sour face

"I just thought they were some new cleaners," he said

You could tell some girls immediately were offended given the money and work they had put into their appearances. On this day I had to hold back my giggles even if I was sure if he was serious or not. The unexpectedness caused a smile to crack.

"These, my only choice?"

"Yes your grace"

"Fine" he sighed, rolling his head back a moment like a spoiled child. He walked the line slowly, often with men from the council adding things, as their girls would improve their rank and standing if their daughters, nieces, and such married into the royal line. But he always had an unbothered response "too thin. Too chubby. Too tall. No breasts. Oh let me guess you have a great personality? Uhhh can't one of you just pick for me" he sighed moving away from the line and of course, the council tried to jump in but the advisor silenced them

"No your grace. You must choose"

"Fine" he sighed looking at the lineup and down a couple of times. "Her." He said pointing to one of the girls near the other end but she looked man

"No!" She snapped clearly mad at his earlier insults "I wouldn't marry you if you were the last man on earth!" She snapped hitching her dress and rushing off, one of the councilmen running after her

"Marrybell wait just think -" he began scampering after her after about a minute neither returned

"Perhaps another your grace" the advisor recommended

"Alright. Her." He said and my heart beat out of my chest the room was in stunned silence he was pointing… to me.

"Do you have any objections young lady?" The advisor asked me

"Ohh uhh…" I said nervously, not sure how to respond as I hadn't even considered myself an option "No. If it pleases the emperor" I answered

"Does it?" He asked

"She'll do" the emperor shrugged

"What fair kingdom do you represent in our fair empire?" The advisor asked and my father quickly rushed over to my side

"Britannia. Your grace" my father said with a smile

"Brittany? I picked the Brittany girl!" He complained "fine. Whatever. Come on then," he said his guards heading out then he left and the advisor went to the door but ushered for me to follow

"Be good darling. I'll see you later" my father smiled giving my temple a kiss before I was ushered away with the advisors and guards to an unknown fate.

💖🌟🌸 Hi everyone!! I thought I’d share this snippet of my fic that I’ve been working on the last couple of weeks, I’d love for you to check it out! Since it is still fresh, readers’ opinions and input are extremely important to me as I want to make this an incredible story 💖

🚩 This bit is safe but my fic in whole does contain NSFW content 💖

Shane rises upright and shrugs his head toward the beach, inviting you to follow. The transition from pavement to sand makes your steps unbalanced, threatening a twisted ankle. Shane walks slower to allow you space to keep up to him. He stops near the water, kicking sand into the waves. Sand conforms around the shape of your body as you sit down, then lay onto it.

Deep blackness is infinite above you. Small stars twinkle amongst each other like the flickering of a candle. You find yourself lost in the sound of the waves and the endlessness of the universe above you. Suddenly you feel small again, the same way you had in your apartment window a week ago.

Sifting of sand pulls your thoughts back as Shane copies your idea of lying in the sand. Silence falls back over you as he settles in and becomes motionless. Both your eyes flick back and forth between the infinite array of stars above you. The depth of the endless universe begins to feel as though it has swallowed you whole, dampening the sound of the waves crashing just inches below your feet.

A buzz of heat strikes your hand as you notice Shane’s fingers have barely found their way into touching yours. Two of them rest on top of your hand, suggesting the action. The warmth fills you completely and you feel as though he has become part of this encapsulating cosmosphere of infinity. Gently your hand reaches out towards him, securing it completely beneath his. Timidly his fingers begin to lightly wrap around yours.

Time blends together, both fast and unmoving, as you lie together in the sand. Mentally you had began to count the stars above you, a task soon proven to be impossible with the complexity of the arrangement.

The sand shifts again as you turn your head towards Shane, he follows suit to meet your eyes. Again you lose yourself in the gaze of the endless starscape, but this time, it’s him. His eyes stay fixated on yours and you pick apart the differing shades of green and gold in his irises. The way he looks upon you intently only makes you assume he is doing the same to yours.

“Sometimes, I can find a reason that makes it not so bad.” He speaks softly.

Your eyes never move from his, “One is all you need.”

A small hit of ease flashes in his pained expression, as though you’d just given him a moment of tranquility in an impossibly difficult life. A small part of the frozen exterior is momentarily chipped away, allowing you to get the smallest look inside where nobody else has seen.

“The other night, when you walked me home… you were going to say something, but you left without telling me… what was it?” You ask quietly, relishing in the peace.

His eyes look downward at the sand, examining every granule, “I was going to thank you… for not pretending I don’t exist… everyone else seems to.” His eyes meet back at yours.

There is no response you can possibly think of but the look of sympathy is detectable on your face. That was a feeling you were all too familiar with. Before this life, you were a head in a crowd. You couldn’t fight your way to the top like you had wanted, and unless you were there, you didn’t exist. Here was a place now where you felt seen, and he felt it with you around too.

The waves continued gently lapping at the shore, it was like nature’s lullaby lifting away the pain of an insignificant life.

(Feel free to delete this ask if u want) so Im afab I’m kinda confused about my gender. I don’t feel like a woman, or man, or anything else. Every time I consider any gender terms they all seem fine. And I’ve heard the term gender apathetic but I’m not sure it applies to me. My gender just feels sort of like a gray blob. Its not really anything in particular. I also don’t want to misidentify as genderqueer because I already hate having to keep my sexuality in the closet and it would be so much easier to just see my self as cis. I’m afraid to even use anything other than she/her online because I don’t want to get too used to them and accidentally do something I might regret irl.

-Lenore

It's nice to meet you, Lenore, and I think I can understand parts of your experience. I will say that genderqueer isn't something you can really identify with wrong. It's not exclusive to people who aren't cis; cis people can be genderqueer. Anyone can! There's so much that falls under the umbrella, any relationship outside of the gender norms (being trans, being agender, being cis and relating to some experiences of other genders, dressing in ways that defy gender norms, and so much more!) can be genderqueer if that's what you call it.

That being said, it's also 100% okay for you to not identify with the label or to have no label to identify with. You don't have to explore your gender if you don't want to. If you're not in a place where it's easy or safe, or if you plain don't feel like it, that's okay. Exploring yourself can be a whole process sometimes, and it's not required.

If you do want to look into it more, you can take it slow. You can just dip your toes in, and at any point you can back out. That's the great part about it: it's on your own terms!

I can share some of my own experiences with gender and how it works for me as well, because what you're describing sounds similar to my feelings. I'm not a woman, not a man, I'm not nonbinary, I'm not agender. I'm not anything! Any of those words applied to me feels the same because none of them are me. My favorite response to questions about my gender are that it's N/A to me

I've tried for a while to figure out how to explain it and the closest I've gotten is this: it's like asking how tall water is. Height isn't a concept that applies to water. Sure, you can put water in a glass and measure how tall that is, but that's not really how water works. You can only get a height because you put it into something else that shaped it first, you didn't actually measure the height of the water because that doesn't exist. And yeah, water can have depth, but that's the water conforming to its container, not the water itself. Because water doesn't have a height.

That's what gender is like for me. Sure, I can come up with an answer, but any answer will be formed by something else and won't actually apply to gender itself. Because it doesn't exist for me. It's not missing, it's not empty, it just doesn't apply.

And there's no one right way to proceed from there! I often think that if I'd never thought about gender at all, I would've been perfectly fine living out the rest of my life as a woman. It's not like it's bad! It would've been simple to not think about, so if that's the route you want to take that is completely okay.

You can also pick up and put on as many or as little labels as you like. You don't need to go searching for them if you don't want to. If gender apathetic doesn't feel right, then don't use it! If you want to give it a try, then use it! I think it's important to remember that the only labels that are yours are the ones you choose. If some label technically fits, that doesn't mean you need to use it. Technically, I don't identify with my gender assigned at birth. I could call myself trans using that reasoning (being trans is more complicated than that, but for this example I'm using a simple definition), but I don't want to, so I don't!

I don't want to ramble forever, but my main point here is that it's okay. You don't have to do anything you don't want to; there are no requirements. Being confused about gender doesn't mean you have to explore it; it's just an option. You don't have to change labels, or to have any at all in the first place. If pronoun changes are too scary right now, you don't need to do that. If it's something you want, then you can work up to it on your own terms.

And whatever you decide now, you can change your mind later. If you don't want to explore your gender, but decide in ten years you'd like to, that's perfectly fine! If you start to explore and decide you don't want to anymore, you can stop. It's all on your terms.

I don't know if any of this will be of any help, but if you ever want to talk about it or have questions, I'm here! Whatever it may be, I'm open and more than happy to do what I can. I hope you're doing well <3

"HDPE Pond Liners: Reliable and Long-Lasting Solutions for Water Containment"

High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pond liners have become the go-to choice for water containment solutions in a variety of applications, from backyard ponds and water gardens to large-scale agricultural and industrial projects. Their durability, flexibility, and environmental friendliness make them an excellent option for ensuring long-lasting and effective water containment. This article will explore the properties, benefits, applications, installation, and maintenance of HDPE pond liners.

What Are HDPE Pond Liners?

pond liner manufacturers are impermeable membranes made from high-density polyethylene, a thermoplastic polymer known for its high strength-to-density ratio. These liners are designed to create a barrier that prevents water from seeping into the soil, thus maintaining the water level in ponds, reservoirs, and other water containment systems. HDPE liners are available in various thicknesses, typically ranging from 20 to 100 mils, to suit different project requirements.

Properties of HDPE Pond Liners

Durability: HDPE liners are highly resistant to punctures, tears, and abrasion. This makes them ideal for withstanding the physical stresses that can occur during installation and throughout their lifespan.

Chemical Resistance: These liners are resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including acids, alkalis, and hydrocarbons. This property ensures that the liners can be used in environments where exposure to such substances is common.

UV Resistance: HDPE liners are formulated to withstand prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This enhances their longevity, even when used in outdoor applications where they are exposed to sunlight.

Flexibility: Despite their strength, HDPE liners are flexible enough to conform to the contours of the pond or water containment area. This flexibility allows for easy installation in irregularly shaped ponds.

Low Permeability: HDPE liners have a low permeability rate, meaning they effectively prevent water from seeping through. This ensures that water remains contained within the pond or reservoir.

Benefits of Using HDPE Pond Liners

Long Lifespan: The durability and UV resistance of HDPE liners contribute to a long lifespan, often exceeding 20 years with proper installation and maintenance. This reduces the need for frequent replacements and provides a cost-effective solution over time.

Environmental Safety: HDPE is an environmentally friendly material that does not leach harmful chemicals into the soil or water. This makes it a safe choice for applications involving aquatic life and agricultural use.
