Power walking stuff, discipline and daily routines / Johnson´s dictionary online

twitter: @eugenio_fouz

I am reading a handbook on walking for fitness these days. Here it it the reference: Jerald D. Hawkins and Sandra M. Hawkins. Walking for Fun and Fitness. Wadsworth, Belmont (California), 2011.

In the introductory pages-page 7- it says:

‘Power walking has been compared to cross-country skiing without the skis. While done at the same pace as fitness walking (3 to 6 miles per hour), power walking enthusiasts intensify the effects of the exercise by using exaggerated arm swing and hand weights or other external props, or both.’

_

Therefore, I have been thinking about my power walking stuff. Basically, I wear running shoes, ankle socks, pants / tights, 2 T-shirts, and a cap to protect my head from the sun heat as well as walk incognito. I also wear a digital watch, keys and a face mask (whenever I happen to come across anyone during my 50 minute-walk). Now, from my readings on handbooks about Power Walking I am going to carry a pair of small dumbbells (0.5 kgs each) with me. It is important to be conscious of your arms while you walk. In fact, self-awareness of your whole self is important.

The best hour of the day in my daily schedule is around 3:30 p.m. Frequency walk, 5 or 6 days a week.

Vi hace muchos años

Ernesto Cardenal 

‘Vi hace muchos años desde un bus en Virginia o Alabama
una muchacha rosada, con pantalones azules subida a una escalera, cortando manzanas
(la madre llamando desde adentro)
y otra muchacha, la hermana, pantalones azules pintando de blanco el porche de la casa
-Y miraron hacia el bus que pasaba y aceleraba.
El tiempo ha pasado como el bus de la Greyhound pero quedaron, a pesar de los años, la pintura fresca en el porche
la brocha chorreando
la mano en la manzana, las miradas
hace años, una mañana, Virginia o Alabama
el estado está olvidado.’

“Todos somos Miguel Bosé” (Juan José Lara)

Todos somos Miguel Bosé

Juan José Lara, @JuanjoLara01

Zenda, 1.08.2021

‘Un hombre entra, junto a su mujer y sus cuatro hijos, en un pequeño restaurante de costa, en Montauk, entrañable enclave de Long Island. Allí vive su suegro, un escritor afamado que se encarga gustoso de subrayar el fracaso de su yerno, Noah, cuya carrera literaria no despega. Los atiende una camarera joven, Alison, una mujer devastada por la pérdida de su hijo de cuatro años y en pleno intento de recomposición de su matrimonio, que no resistió el embate. En el modesto restaurante del pueblecito playero sucede el milagro y la catástrofe: sucede el amor. Noah acabará dejándolo todo por Alison y una cascada de acontecimientos se precipitará en la vida de ambos y de quienes los rodean. Porque a menudo el amor es un volcán que salpica de lava incandescente a mucha distancia en derredor; el magma hirviente aviva a unos, pero, como en Pompeya, convierte a otros en cadáveres fosilizados. Alison y Noah son el Vesubio cuya erupción arrasa sus propias existencias y las de los suyos. Es el poder del amor: fértil y edificante; anárquico y destructivo.

Esta es la idea de The Affair, la serie de Showtime que se estrenó en 2014 y se prolongó durante cinco temporadas. Pocas creaciones artísticas muestran con semejante destreza la panoplia de sentimientos que se generan en torno al amor.’

18 Most Common Grammar Mistakes

Kate Miller-Wilson

1. Run-on Sentence or Comma Splice

‘A run-on sentence is a sentence that joins two independent clauses without punctuation or the appropriate conjunction. A comma splice is similar to a run-on sentence, but it uses a comma to join two clauses that have no appropriate conjunction. Fixing a run-on sentence or a comma splice can be accomplished in one of five different ways.

***Incorrect sentence: “Rachel is very smart, she began reading when she was three years old.”

Solution 1: Separate the clauses into two sentences. “Rachel is very smart. She began reading when she was three years old.”
Solution 2: Replace the comma with a semicolon. “Rachel is very smart; she began reading when she was three years old.”
Solution 3: Replace the comma with a coordinating conjunction. “Rachel is very smart, for she began reading when she was three years old.”
Solution 4: Replace the comma with a subordinating conjunction. “Rachel is very smart because she began reading when she was three years old.”
Solution 5: Replace the comma with a semicolon and transitional word or phrase. “Rachel is very smart; as a result, she began reading when she was three years old.” ‘

Nota Bene:

pages 27, 28
“Pronouns such as ‘it’,’this’ and ‘they’ should be avoided at the beginning of a new paragraph: even if the antecedent is obvious, starting a paragraph with a pronoun is simply poor style in English, and when the antecedent is not obvious, it´s extremely difficult for your reader to determine exactly what you´re talking about“

page 43. “Never start a sentence with a numeral: whatever the number is, it needs to be written out as a word. So it should be ‘One participant,’ not ‘1 participant,’ and ‘Fifty-six men,’ not ’56 men.’

page 43. “Finally, formal English prose does not use contractions”

from The Princess: O Swallow
BY ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON

O Swallow, Swallow, flying, flying South,
Fly to her, and fall upon her gilded eaves,
And tell her, tell her, what I tell to thee.

O tell her, Swallow, thou that knowest each,
That bright and fierce and fickle is the South,
And dark and true and tender is the North.

O Swallow, Swallow, if I could follow, and light
Upon her lattice, I would pipe and trill,
And cheep and twitter twenty million loves.

O were I thou that she might take me in,
And lay me on her bosom, and her heart
Would rock the snowy cradle till I died.

Why lingereth she to clothe her heart with love,
Delaying as the tender ash delays
To clothe herself, when all the woods are green?

O tell her, Swallow, that thy brood is flown:
Say to her, I do but wanton in the South,
But in the North long since my nest is made.

O tell her, brief is life but love is long,
And brief the sun of summer in the North,
And brief the moon of beauty in the South.

O Swallow, flying from the golden woods,
Fly to her, and pipe and woo her, and make her mine,
And tell her, tell her, that I follow thee.
