Healing.
Namaste! everyone, it has been a very long time since I wrote a new lesson, but I had many things happening around me, which helped me to come to the conclusion that I have to stop for a while and think things trough, and I did and this is how this lesson was born. I will talk about healing. Yes, this topic is forbidden in many communities, and even in society. So let us begin.

Healing, at first sight it is only a word like the other words, but there are a few words which have more meaning or other meanings, for example Mother, Love, Light, Healing, Spiritual, and so on. But today I will put the emphasis on the Healing.

So, the word Healing
Misconceptions of Authors + Their Place in Society        As I continue writing and looking up tidbits of information, I am unfortunately reminded that the make-up of today's society seems to not appreciate authors as much as they once did. My only question is: why is that?

       Surely there have been great technological advances in which it is easier to obtain books (audio books, Kindles, iTunes downloads, and the like); however, it seems that we hold the creators of our most beloved stories at low esteem. There was a time when authors and certainly artists of any talent were looked upon as the most intelligent of intellectuals, second only to scientists and philosophers. We are being b
The Rights of a Man
“We believe in happiness and stability,” says Mustapha Mond, the main antagonist in Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. In this scene, he defends the government’s totalitarianism, stating it is better to lose rights than to live in an unstable world. Sound familiar? It should, considering it is the theme for many other works of dystopian literature, such as George Orwell’s 1984 and Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451. However, this argument can also be seen in modern day politics, as representatives argue over how much governmental control in our daily lives is too much. Which is more important, rights or stability withi
BSL Laws and Pit Bull DogsWhat would you do if you were told to get rid of your dog or it will be killed? That is exactly what has been happening to people in cities across the nation. First, it was German Shepherds, next it was Doberman Pinschers, then Rottweilers. Today, it is Pit Bulls and pit bull type dogs. Due to of Breed-Specific Legislation (BSL) laws, cities across the U.S. are banning Pit Bulls and pit bull type dogs. They are being taken from their homes and killed, vicious or not. BSL is “not just about public safety, it’s about targeting breeds of dogs” (Beyond the Myth). BSL is not effective because it is only targeting a specific breed of

What a Cyclone it has Been      In 1939, Dorothy’s house took off for the first time from Kansas to Oz, via tornado. The image has been used and parodied numerous times. It’s one of the most iconic forms of American pop culture, and since then the twister has become a symbol of Kansas itself.
    In my 2013 Professional Art final, a twister has once again been reproduced. The compositional piece includes color from the chalks used, blended into each other. The shape of the tornado easily expresses itself as a funnel, and the twisted skyline drops into the tube of the tempest. That takes care of shape and color.
    Next is positioning: the twister lies in
what to write-  At times like this, as I am about to write something, my mind goes blank. Street cleaning just finished, and washed away the old ideas in attempt to make new fresh ones. But it's not very effective. And so I sit here, laptop on stomach, and keyboard at disposal. And so I sit here, pondering, what should I write? For all the good ideas have already been taken. There's only so much a planet can think up of. Yet I sit here, intercepting my thoughts. Any ideas? Any at all? The gelid basement air clawing under my skin. hawkish, right down to my bones. The air around me is taciturn. Troglodytic whispers surround me. I look about, there's no one h

Peter Parker - Why is he still a photographer?Should Peter be allowed to achieve some degree of success or achievement?

Let me explain where I'm coming from:

I graduated from University in 2009 with a BA Hons in Politics with Economics. And despite working in Financial Services for the last few years, its only in the last two months I've actually started working on a Banking project whereby things I studied in my degree is even partially relevant.

How's this relate to Peter Parker?

I was watching the first Spider-Man movie today for the first time in 6/7 years. There is a moment Peter turns down a job with Norman Osborn to instead take up photography for the Bugle. So he's studying C
My Art And The Criticism Of It~I prefer instructive criticism over trolling on my art work. 
~Do not use my art unless I allow you to do so.
~I vary between traditional and digital.
~Jade, how dare you say my art work sucks when you can't even get much criticism on yours or accept it when you do. This goes for everyone else. Please grow up... I am sick of fighting with you and you trying to lower my self esteem. You are actually failing at it and making me stronger. Every time you fuck with my emotions, I get stronger. Look at the difference on how we've turned out and where our paths diverge. You making me seem like a loser has never helped you. No offense, eighteen is the time to grow into an adult. You can keep some childish stuff, but there needs to be maturity, too. 
~If you have a problem with my art, then please politely move along to some other page. I am not in the mood ever for trolling. If you're a little kid trying to start a fight, then I pity you.

Writing Portfolio Introduction In the words of George Eliot, "Nothing is so good as it seems beforehand." Indeed, that which is expected is never quite what it ends up being. Which is interesting considering that Mr. Eliot is actually the penname of Mary Anne Evans. A female writer, you ask? How wonderful! Rather, the irony lies in the fact that first, you thought she was a man; second, you thought she must be a rather fine, intellectual woman; and third, that it is now revealed to you that her large nose and thick cheekbones are rather masculine in nature anyway. So, what you expected wasn't exactly so, and even that wasn't what you expected after what you expected wasn'

MOVIMENTO E IMMOBILITà DI DOUVE (Einaudi editore)

Nota: Douve è un luogo immaginario, ideato dal Poeta.
Ha molteplici significati: acqua morta, acqua melmosa dei fossati intorno ai castelli medioevali, ranuncolo delle paludi...

Ti vedevo correre sulle terrazze,
ti vedevo lottare contro il vento,
ti sanguinava il freddo sulle labbra.
E t'ho vista spezzarti e gioire d'essere morta oh più bella
della folgore, quando chiazza i vetri bianchi del tuo sangue.

Declinando l'estate ti screpolava d'un piacere monotono
disprezzavano l'ebbrezza incompiuta di vivere.

New Conlang PreviewI haven't constructed much grammar for this particular conlang, and it has no name. D: I have the phonology and such, and basic order. It does not have a concept of "syllables" because words cannot be broken down into syllables by the speakers.

Here're some examples I have.

Example of how syllables are not conceived:

All words are composed of, what I call, layers. A layer cannot exist unless it is absolutely symmetrical. There are four possible layers, and they operate like this:

[layer three] + [layer two] + [layer one] + *root* + [layer one] + [layer two] + [layer three]

The fourth layer is only found in specific words, and it cuts in

Laa Siri Intro

:iconsanguineepitaph:

I'm uploading this into scraps to spare my watchers something they probably are uninterested in. :c

This is an introduction to a language I've been developing called Ḷaá Siri. It's unique because it has no personal pronouns, marks for evidentiality and proximity, and because it has 10 phonemes. ^-^

I'm just posting examples of random things I've translated.

Example 1
What is your name?
ri     yií saraasaá   ḷaarasiisar'ala?
INTER. of  name-ABST. PROX.-what kind-called?
"One who is in my immediate proximity, what kind is the name of you?"

Possession in Ḷaá Siri is shown using one of five prepositions. Their use depends on the relation that the owner has to the object s/he owns.

Example 2
My name is _________.
yií saraasaá lĩtḷaa________li.
i.e., yií saraasaá       lĩtḷaasayarili.
             of  name-ABSTR.    PROX.-Zachary-ADJ.V.
"The name of one's self is Zachary-like."

You can't notice it unless you know, but the suffix on "sayari" is usually lí, but when it's pitch accent changes from rising to neutral, it is a sign of absolute evidentiality, aka, this is a fact.

Example 3
My dog went outside of the house.
yií yayĩḷa   silisilayaa    tḷasa lĩtḷaaḷaasa'aár.
of  dog-AN.  house- INANIM. to  PROX.-PROX.-go out.
"The dog of one's self that is in my immediate proximity goes to the outside of the house."

AN. stands for "animal" not "animate".

I hope you like it! I'll post more soon.
:iconsanguineepitaph:
You can read more about Ḷaá Siri as I update it on the conlanger forums.

Any questions, feel free to ask! :D

There are others! Here I thought I was the only one who conlangs!

Anyway, I think your language is fantastic. The marks for proximity are really neat, I'm surprised I never thought about something like that. Did you based the vocabulary, grammar, phonology, and phonetics on any existing language or languages?

I think this is really awesome, great work and good luck!

Nooooo, you're definitely not the only one! It's always amazing to meet a new conlanger. 8D I see you've also found #Conlangers, too! We're pretty friendly, I'd say. :giggle: It's great to meet you. 8D

Thanks for all of your feedback! Unfortunately Llaa: Siri isn't really being developed anymore because I thought that my proximity markers were, realistically, just markers for person and that my approach wasn't right. Translation was never easy without pronouns, also. :C But it is my most developed conlang still! I didn't base it off of anything consciously, but I was inspired by Piraha and Navajo. :) I'd love to see your conlang!

:hug: :heart:

It's great to meet you too!

Well that's a pity, I like Llaá Siri, are you working on any others? Oh my gosh! Someone who knows of Piraha, that's awesome!

And yeah, definitely! I'll have to upload one of them sometime. :D

Llaa: Siri was my conlang baby for a really long time (from Jan. 2011 until just last month!), but I ultimately thought it kind of failed. :C I might revist it after I finish my linguistics courses this semester. :dummy: I am working on another conlang right now. I have been a bit busy, but it's called hnai uéé tt'awaétl, :nod: I haven't posted any pieces of it because it's under a lot of construction. I don't know, recently I've been feeling disenchanted with my conlangs. I am trying to create my vision of a beautiful language and it's not working out. :giggle:

I also have a couple of Youtube videos about Llaa: Siri. :nod: [link] and [link] :D

Piraha is SO INTERESTING! xD I am really intrigued by it. c:

"tl" being the sound at the end of the word, Nahuatl? :D I think that'd be an interesting language to hear and read! :] What's hnai uéé tt'awaétl like?

If you're looking for beautiful, I'd look to the Celtic Languages, Finnish, and the Scandinavian Languages. I find them to be fascinating.

I saw those videos! :D The latter introduced me to Laa: Siri. 8D

I know, it's a cool anguage. :)

Yep! "tl" is [t͡ɬ] :) I love that sound and its fricative counterpart as well! I am inspired by Navajo and Nahuatl, so I tend to incorporate those sounds. :giggle:

Recently I was on break without homework, so I got a chance to rework hnai uéé tt'awaétl, so it's not called that any longer. :giggle: I'm not sure what it'll be like when I'm done. xD

That sounds great! I can't wait to see what it's like at the end!

Hey you! This don't belong in scraps. We should get conlanging out in the open! Then, maybe someday Google spellcheck will actually consider Conlang a word! :P
