'The truth shall set you free'. This is the way it is right now, we must all speak our 'emotional' truth. However there is no such thing as the 'truth', since we are living an illusion on this planet, which is why we can never agree on what is 'truth' as it is relative to the glasses you happen to be viewing life from.
For some this can be very confusing, as our society is based on 'judgement'. We like to box everything we see, feel and believe as either right or wrong, yet the truth is that it just is! It is neither right or wrong. We should not be seeking the truth in situations we find ourselves in but we should be seeking our emotional truth in other words how we 'feel' about what is or isn't happening.
Speaking your truth is about you honouring what you wish to say and how you feel. It is not about the other person but about what is real and right for us. Some may feel offended by what we have to say, we cannot help how they feel or react but we do have to live with ourselves for what we do say or about what we do not say.
Speaking your truth is not about being 'right' it's about expressing what we feel in a real and authentic way.
We need to allow ourselves to be venerable and transparent – these are the keys to speaking your truth. Being mindful of not being mean or hurtful is important but we cannot take responsibility about how the other person responds.
Currently our world is in turmoil as the old energies of control and manipulation try to continue the game of hiding the truth to no avail. This is a time where all shall be revealed and there is nowhere to run and nowhere to hide, all will be seen.
Many clients are now coming in talking of how they have been keeping long held family secrets and yet through events all has been revealed causing chaos within the family yet this is opening to deep family healing that could never have been imagined.
Interestingly some people are trying to run away from issues that they have in relationships as they always have yet there is nowhere to run too any longer as where ever you go you take those issues with you and you will have the same type of people and situations hit you again and again.
A young woman told me the other day that she went overseas for a few years to hide from the family abuse that was happening here. She hoped that it would all be over and she could forget it all. The problem was she took herself and the hurt and pain with her and attracted other people that abused her trust over there. She did not understand that the only way through an issue is to face it head on and speak her emotional truth and allow herself to heal and to reclaim her power so that it never happens again. So instead of being able to hide she simply prolonged and reinforced her wounds. Happily she is now revealing and healing and releasing herself from past trauma and is committed to honouring her 'emotional truth' in the future.
The truth shall set you free – needs to be a mantra that we all embrace.

PK Sound's crew of engineers and technicians returned to the Do Lab's Lightning in a Bottle Festival for Memorial Day 2018. An estimated 30,000 fans and contributors arrived at San Antonio Lake to play, dance, do yoga, learn, and cool off in in the water during the four-day camp out. Festival goers and experience creators enjoyed perfect weather, art, and a curated group of musical acts performing on PK Sound's Trinity sound system. Music on the Lightning Stage both serenaded the crowd and roared throughout the weekend thanks to PK's patented technology and their crew.
The Lightning Stage served as Lightning in a Bottle's main stage where top acts like Anderson .Paak & The Free Nationals, Zhu, Griz, The Glitch Mob, Fever Ray, Sofi Tukker, Beats Antique, and Dirtwire performed. The audience danced from afternoon until last call, soaking in the soundwaves.
The Lightning Stage's main PA consisted of 12 per side PK Trinity line arrays, 48 PK CX800 dual 18-inch subwoofers, and 4 PK VX12 medium format line array front fills. Field delays were a stereo pair of 3 PK Trinity line array per side ground-stacked – placed 220-feet from main PA to extend coverage for headline sets.
On stage loudspeakers included 3 PK VX10 compact arrays and 1 PK CX800 subwoofer per side as stage side fills for the bands and DJs, as well as 12 PK SW215 stage wedges and 2 PK Klarity 218 dual 18-inch subwoofers as drum fill.
Front of house consoles and system drive included an Avid Profile console, a DigiCo SD9, PK Sound's Kontrol PA management system, and 2 Lake LM26 system processors.
The PA was plotted and configured through the use of EASE Focus software, which pinpoints the angles of the boxes and dispersion patterns. Front of house techs Rory Stewart and Ian Hicks manned the fort and accommodated three guest consoles with a total of 10 guest front of house technicians. "We strive to make it an easy and comfortable experience for any guest engineers on a PK rig, "comments Hicks.
Josh "CT" Sarraulte is on his first tour with The Glitch Mob as front of house audio and Lightning in a Bottle fell early in the tour schedule. "My only goal is to take what The Mob do and amplify it! For this gig it is about separation and clarity," explains Sarraulte.
"I was happy with the amount of air I was able to push with the rig. Having this be the first big PA that we hit on this run it was nice that I didn't immediately hit a boxes limitation," he continues.
The following night Anderson .Paak and The Free Nationals engaged, entranced, and thrilled the audience with fun suave tunes for their closing set. Nevin Thomas – front of house for the band, joined the team in the sound booth to drive the system. While he's working the live mix, Thomas' main focus is getting a well-balanced mix that's both simple and in-your-face. Through this approach he ensures the band matches the DJ tracks and its energy is what hits the audience first.
For his first time mixing on a PK Sound rig, Thomas states, "Amazing, nice and wide, clear sound everywhere. Feeling the subs and a nice top end made the night." "I'm a fan of the tech that goes into the system as well – it added a huge stereo image," he continued.
Coordinating the many moving parts and collaborating with top talent were the two themes of the weekend and the PK Sound team is always pleased to work with standout professionals.
"We had a pretty smooth year, considering how much gear came in and out. We always love working with the Do Lab/Lightning in a Bottle family and really enjoy supporting their vision," says Arlen Cormack, VP of Production.

May 15, 1994, Section 2, Page 33Buy Reprints
THE AUSTRIAN PIANIST AND scholar Paul Badura-Skoda sits in the front row of the large classroom, looking slightly disoriented. "My husband still thinks they're genuine," says his wife, Eva, a musicologist. She has just given a talk, "The Haydn Sonatas: A Clever Forgery."
This was to have been one of the first public discussions of what had been billed as the find of the century, with the Badura-Skodas involved as principals: a manuscript of six newly discovered piano sonatas by Joseph Haydn. In the January issue of BBC magazine, H. C. Robbins Landon, the dean of Haydn scholars, certified the works as genuine. The February issue printed a retraction: the handwriting in the manuscript seemed to date from the 20th century; the engraver probably used a steel-nibbed pen, which came into use only in the mid-19th century; staves were peculiar, and so on. The latest evidence suggested what Mr. Robbins Landon called "a rather sinister forgery."
The drama had all the right ingredients from the start: a slightly mysterious flute player, Winfried Michel, who provided the only copy of the manuscript to Mr. Badura-Skoda; an even more mysterious and conveniently sick "little old lady" who owned the document in question and "didn't want to be bothered" by anyone. Numerous attempts by Ms. Badura-Skoda to examine the manuscript for purposes of dating resulted in capriciously canceled meetings.
The whole affair was tantalizing: the first measures of each sonata appear in an authentic contemporary thematic catalogue. Even more devious, Mr. Badura-Skoda was told that some bits were missing and he would have to reconstruct them himself, something he had done before.
To be sure, Mr. Robbins Landon and the Badura-Skodas jumped the gun by assuming that the pieces were authentic before they had had time to examine the manuscript, but this is understandable. Any scholar or scientist who has had hot stuff knows how difficult it is to behave sensibly, and those who have not had the experience probably should not judge. Part of the problem is a kind of intellectual horniness about discovery. It's not that one simply wants fame and fortune but rather that one is gripped by an almost uncontrollable excitement.
THOUGH MUSICOLOGY HAS never been the science it sometimes claims to be, there is nothing like good hard data -- for example, a newly discovered work by a great master -- to turn the cautious scholar into a drooling maniac. Good data relieve us of the onerous burden of having to be clever; ornate interpretations, subtle deconstructions and Byzantine turns of academic prose are unnecessary when you have the Real Thing. Yet a risk is always involved; if you wait until the matter is absolutely verified, it may be old news, and you may have to go back to being merely another clever scholar. On the other hand, moving too quickly can have unhappy results; as Ms. Badura-Skoda kept saying, "It's a little embarrassing."
In some ways this is all reminiscent of the cold fusion debacle that occurred when B. Stanley Pons, Martin Fleischmann and, to a certain extent, the entire state of Utah promised the world a cheap, clean energy source. A little more experimentation and some honest self-examination would have made it obvious that the initially promising results were murky at best. Gary Taubes, in his book "Bad Science," reveals what happens when scientists get caught up in the frenzy of secrecy, competition and anxiety associated with a major discovery. They usually forget the first mandate of scientific investigation, which, in the words of the noted physicist Richard Feynman, is that "you must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool."
Yet the issues of forgery and undue anticipation by scholars, though not without interest, are only a small part of this story. Most scholars I've spoken to insist that the sonatas are forgeries. When I ask how they know, the answer is always the same: the quality of the sources is suspicious, ergo they're fakes. But what about the quality of the music?
This is the most delightful aspect of the whole debacle. Not a single musician or scholar is willing to say for sure whether, on the basis of the score alone, these pieces are by Haydn. Our musical culture prides itself on considering superstar composers leagues above their "mediocre" contemporaries; yet no one has taken a stand and offered either analytic proof or convincing intuition as to the derivation of these pieces. Nor has anybody raised the potent question: if someone can write pieces that can be mistaken for Haydn, what is so special about Haydn?
What it comes down to is this: unless there is something in the music that couldn't be by Haydn (like five measures of Joplin or Schoenberg), we have no tools, theoretical or otherwise, for proving the case either way.
Here is how it all might go: Critic A decides that the sonatas cannot be by Haydn because Haydn never does things in such a way. Critic B responds that since Haydn is an original thinker, he is capable of doing something unusual at any time; that is the "hallmark of his genius." Critic C finds the pieces unconvincingly dull and figures, therefore, that they could not possibly have been penned by Haydn. Critic D counters: "Well, Haydn can have a bad day, too. Besides, I find the finales fascinating."
To add even more spice, these sonatas were supposedly written during Haydn's experimental Storm and Stress period. Any particularly nutty moments can therefore be dismissed (or praised) by Critic E as "typical of the kind of exaggerated effect associated with the instrumental works of this period in Haydn's oeuvre." Having first-rate "unattributed" forgeries around forces us to acknowledge how much of our prose about music amounts to self-parody.
The whole matter throws our notions of esthetics into a tizzy. The phenomenon in question might be called the baby-picture principle. If we are shown a snapshot of a friend as an infant, it is almost always possible to see resemblance; indeed, the adult in question usually seems to be the inevitable realization of the image. If, however, we are shown an unattributed baby picture and asked, on the basis of the photo, to predict its appearance in 20 years, the task appears impossible.
Knowing that a work is by Haydn or Mozart allows us to see "inevitable" connections. Take away the certainty of authorship, and it's devilishly difficult to read the musical images within.
Under the impression that these piano sonatas were composed by Haydn, Mr. Badura-Skoda fell in love with them. Perhaps his glum demeanor in Santa Barbara, and his refusal to play the last movement of one of the sonatas after playing the first two reflect the sadness of a jilted lover who is told, when the affair ends, "I never loved you; I was faking the whole time."
But Mr. Badura-Skoda's love for these sonatas was real, and from the little I heard of them, the works seemed quite lovable. Still, even if Mr. Badura-Skoda goes ahead with plans to record them, the sonatas, like most such disgraced compositions when shorn of the great composer's name, will probably disappear from sight quickly. Conventional wisdom says that if they are forgeries, they are somehow unworthy of being loved, but conventional wisdom says a lot of silly things.
Perhaps we need to give more weight to understanding the esthetic impulse and less to fetishizing the authenticated objects of that impulse. What we might call "identified great art" may be likelier to elicit our attention, curiosity and love than works outside that category. Yet once evoked, our responses cannot be considered false.
One can be deeply moved by the compositions of one's children or by the very moments in Salieri's operas that Mozart must have detested. One can also love what Noel Coward called "those cheap popular tunes," and one can love fake Haydn sonatas, maybe even more than the real ones.

Violinists not tuned for Stradivarius
Living next to a music school, I hear talented people practice their already grand skills and add to them every day. On the street, I often walk behind someone humming melodiously and I pick up fragments of conversation about tonality or other musical nerdy-ness, all of which sounds like Ancient Greek tunes to me. Their ears certainly hear things I cannot, which must be a skill they bring to bear when selecting instruments, too.
Musicians have personal methods of selecting their favorite sound when testing an instrument. And one might also assume that an 'old Italian' violin, like the Stradivarius from the 1700s, would be what experienced violinists would most gladly select, given the freedom to choose an instrument worth around $10 million.
Scientists now say that the Stradivarius has no secret, magical sound that makes it the most memorable for violinists. A French-American research team convinced 21 experienced violinists attending a competition to play instruments and pick favorites. They had managed to include some rare violins, which they organized on loan. The musicians had to wear special goggles so it became impossible for them to see if they were playing a new instrument or one that is centuries old, famous, and invaluable.
In two types of testing arrangements the Stradivarius was the least-preferred instrument of three old violins and three new models. The results are "a striking challenge to conventional wisdom," write the researchers in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Playing blindfolded
To motivate competitors to go to a hotel room and play an instrument practically blind-folded, they told the volunteers they would have the chance to play fine violins, and at least one Stradivarius. The volunteers were not told the violin's make. A dab of scent was placed under each violin's chinrest to disguise any characteristic smell. The musicians were supposed to play and listen for range of tone colors, projection, playability, and response.
Of the six violins, three were new models. The scientists had on loan two violins from around 1700 and 1715 by celebrated craftsman Antonio Stradivari and a third was from the hand of Giuseppe Guarneri del Gesu, another violin master from the Golden Age, and which dated to 1740. For each test run, the researchers gave the volunteers pairings of one new and old violin, a fact they did not disclose to volunteers.
In one test series, mimicking instrument-shopping, violinists had 20 minutes to choose their instrument they would most likely take home to test further. In a second experiment, the musicians had only one minute to play one violin and then the other before choosing a favorite.
In the longer test, whenever the older Stradivarius was one of the two possible violins to choose from, the players rejected it, leading the scientists to note "its consistent rejection appears to drive the overall preference for new violins…"
In the short testing, violinists consistently preferred a particular new violin. It was chosen eight times as the take-home model, while the older Stradivarius was chosen only once. A punishing 16 times that precious violin was named "worst-in-a-category," the researchers write.
Choosing new favorites
Overall, eight of the 21 violists chose an old violin as their favorite. Given the small test group the scientists warn this result cannot be generalized. At the same time, that fact that a new violin won over Stradivarius and Guarneri del Gesu in the view of 13 musicians in the study "stands as a bracing counterexample to conventional wisdom."
The new violins got high marks for playability and response but there appeared no difference between the violins in terms of projection and tone colors. An amount of "uncertainty" in the results remains.
Only three musicians were able to correctly guess they were playing an old violin, which, according to the researchers, shows that the instruments dating back to the Golden Age of violin-making do not have "special playing qualities." The scientists point out that the violinists chose favorites only by playing them and not by listening to the instruments from a distance.
Stradivarius holds a secret
Irrespective of the results, the scientists assert that old Italian violins will "no doubt maintain their hold on the imagination of violinists and their audiences for a long time to come." As scientists, they hope their results will shift the focus of research away from a seeming "secret" the Stradivarius might hold to achieving a better understanding of what exactly musicians' ears are hearing as they evaluate instruments.
This team, unlike other researchers before them, does not believe there is evidence the violins by Italian masters have better qualities due to varnish properties, the effect of the Little Ice Age on the wood, chemical treatment of the wood or plate-tuning methods, to name a few of the attributed traits thought to lend these violins superiority.
The Naked Scientists, a group of physicians and scientists at Cambridge University, write in their blog that despite the small study sample, the study "seems to suggest that the reputation of the greater masters' violins relates more to the price tag than the sweet music they make."
In a discussion on a violinists' blog a few years ago, there is an impassioned discussion on the merits of 'old Italians.' Perhaps this new study does not quite settle this long-running discussion. And the one about young violins is just beginning. Anne McKinley writes that modern violins can make their players "happy, or unhappy, at any price range." In that sense, she says, they are in some ways "like modern chairs."

If you want reliable commissions and new product promotion opportunities from a reputable, solid affiliate company, look for one that continuously produces new products for you to promote. Avoid getting involved with fly-by-night companies, scammers, and businesses promoting a single product, especially if it appears to be a fad.
When people unsubscribe, which often happens, it will be up to you to seek out new subscribers. Bring in customers by sending them your most eye-catching, interesting emails to pique their curiosity from the start.
When visitors arrive to your sports-themed site, their mind is already focused on sports. If the affiliate link is not about sports, the reason they came to your site, it won't help you. Your readers are more likely to click a link that is relevant to the information on your site.
Attach a deadline to buying particular affiliate products to encourage customers to buy now. Some visitors may be more inclined to purchase your product if they see that their window of opportunity is dwindling. You can get your sales up by following these tips.
You can improve your affiliate marketing efforts by including media showing the product in action, like screenshots and videos. These add-ons will make purchasing your product seem more appealing to people who read your review. Make your reviews and descriptions as detailed as possible so people can fully educate themselves about your products before making a purchase.
Some vendors want you to make use of their tracking software, which are generally scams. Do your own homework and use a tracking system that has a strong reputation behind it.
A good way to increase your customer base when engaged in affiliate promotion is to write an interesting newsletter that will encourage people to subscribe. In the past, people loved to get emails. Your newsletter should be designed with your readers' needs in mind so that you do not come across as a spammer.
When trying to better your affiliate marketing business, all content produced should have positive language. You should avoid any wording that has a negative slant, such as "do not miss this opportunity" or "do not worry." g.
You have to stay relevant if you desire to gain success in web marketing. This means that you should consistently research your web marketing programs to see if they are offering any new or updated methods or techniques. There are always new tools added to affiliate programs in order to increase usability and make them more desirable to users.
So clearly it is no longer as expensive or as complicated to be involved in internet marketing programs as it has been in the past. By following the tips and advice from this article you will help ensure that you create the best web marketing program while maintaining low costs and ensuring future success.

In this study session, you will learn how to carry out an important measurement that should be done at every antenatal visit — measuring the height of the top of the mother's uterus as a way of assessing whether her baby is growing normally. We teach you two ways of doing this — using your fingers, and using a soft measuring tape. This will enable you to estimate the stage of pregnancy she has reached, and check the accuracy of the due date calculated from the mother's last normal menstrual period. Then we discuss possible reasons for the uterus growing too quickly or too slowly, and what actions you should take if you suspect that something may be wrong.

Develop the use of stingless bees as alternate managed pollinators for horticultural crops.
Honeybees are excellent pollinators in many situations, but their availability faces various threats. In particular, collapse of wild honeybee populations is expected if Varroa mite established in Australia. Further, future supply of managed honeybee is a serious concern due to the age profile of the beekeeper community. As a result, we need to consider alternative pollinators. The leading candidates are stingless bees. There are a growing number of stingless beekeepers, and stingless bees are already used in macadamia farms, where they outperform honeybees. Stingless bees are also used in crop pollination in several Asian countries, e.g. Thailand and India.
The project will compile data and review existing evidence on the potential of stingless bees. We will also carry out studies on a range of fruit and vegetable crops, testing first if the bees visit the flowers and transport the crop pollen. Where they do, we will then test the effectiveness of stingless bee pollination and its impact on crop set, yield and quality as appropriate. For the most promising crop/bee combinations, we will then make broadly similar but tailored studies of the potential of stingless bees to be effective managed pollinators in a glasshouse condition.
The project is organised into five work packages (WP):
– WP1 will collate and analyse existing information on the potential of Australian native bees in general as alternative pollinators.
– WP2-4 will form the major experimental program to assess the potential of stingless bees as managed pollinators of tropical field, temperate field, and glasshouse crops.
– WP5 will take a complementary approach by focusing on collating and analysing information from farms and beekeepers on the aims, extent, methods and measure or perceived benefits of current use of stingless bees.
The primary target audiences are growers of field crops and growers of glasshouse solanaceous and cucurbit crops. We anticipate early adoption within five years of the project end.

I've made a post about the soldiers of Yogyakarta palace entitled Prajurit Kraton Yogyakarta. From now on, I'm trying to make a profile of each brigade in serial. Maybe there will be some Javanese terms that I cannot translate to English, because even I had difficulties to find the meaning in Bahasa Indonesia. The first bregade is Prajurit Ketanggung.
Philosophically, the name of Ketanggung means "has a very heavy responsibility." Previously, these soldiers were responsible for guarding the palace and also guarding the king when he went out of the palace. These soldiers also served as a prosecution case. This brigade is comprised of 4 ranking officers named Panji, 8 noncommissioned sergeants, 72 soldiers and 1 soldier who carries the dwaja.
Panji or the flag of Ketanggung soldier named Cakraswandana. Its rectangular-shaped with a black base, there is a six-sided star with white color at the center of the flag.
The uniform is Sikepan shaped, with a lurik (striated) pattern typical of Ketanggung and black shorts outside white pants. They also wear black boots and a black Mancungan hat. The weapon used was a rifle with a bayonet and spear.
The presence of these soldiers became the name of the village Ketanggungan. This village still exists today.

From its humble beginnings, alongside sister-label Ram Records, Program has prided itself in giving a platform to some of the drum & bass scene's most exciting newcomers. However, alongside this ethos they've also helped to develop new aliases for the titans of its harder realms, with Slang Banger leading the charge for Program's muddier sounds. And forthcoming from the production trio, the same artists who brought you Resonant Evil, Pixel Fist, Inasin and Afghan Headspin, is a four track EP which continues to show their appetite for destruction. Program once again rolls with the punches for their next output.
From Redshift to Rock It, Slang Banger hone in on a signature which saw them rise to prominence in the earlier stages of their respective careers. Title-track Redshift begins with rattling drum loops and nastily slick bass stabs which sit beneath the track's composition. Rolling forward on intimidating breaks, you're presented with colossal drops between every clattering breakdown. Gravity knocks through just as aggressively; it's an old-school flavoured riddim which pushes ahead on a chomping bassline and explodes over a blaring voice-sample. Then you're introduced to Orbit, drivingly relentless with its snapping kick drums and percussive overture, becoming more urgent with each sound layer. Rock It brings the EP to a close, wrapping up four tracks of stereo annihilation. Alongside sharp-edged wooden percussive elements and pulses of unforgiving bass, Slang Banger leaves a lasting impression with their latest EP.
And this is why, for another release, it's time to get with the Program. From beginning to end, the trio land hit after hit. Demonstrating why they still stand the test of time, years one from their first release together.

Quality Care for Your Child
Commencing operation in 2019, our Atherstone Estate early learning centre is a brand-new development catering to children aged 6 months to 6 years. With 8 rooms and more than 887 square metres of space, there is plenty of room for your child to explore whilst under the watchful eye of our friendly and experienced educators.
We are ideally located at the corner of Atherstone Boulevard and Bridge Road, only a short distance from the Wilton Fields Park and Atherstone Adventure Park. We offer care for infants in our Nursery, as well as a comprehensive Kindergarten Program. We aim to create a homely environment where every child feels as though they belong as a valued member of the community.
Our educators are kind natured and compassionate. We encourage children to explore their individual strengths and interests, and we cater to any special requests you may have. We respect and honour the role of family throughout a child's educational journey, and we keep you informed at every stage through the Storypark application. Our aim is to deliver the best possible care and quality education for every child, and we accomplish this through our blend of sensory and play-based learning.
Bringing the Outdoors In
Our indoor rooms are stimulating, safe and secure and have been purpose designed for specific age groups. We are fortunate to have an expansive outdoor area which connects seamlessly with our indoor rooms, giving children the opportunity to enjoy fresh air and sunshine. We regularly run outdoor programmes ranging from environmental education through to sports activities and more. Within this safe and secure environment, children will develop their cognitive function and social skills whilst interacting with their peers and creating new friendships.
There is an activity for every child, as we have environments ranging from sand pits through to cubby houses, swing sets, bike paths, rock climbing and even dry creek beds. Children are free to roam around at their leisure, discovering new concepts and interests whilst gaining an understanding of environmental sustainability and the importance of nature.
Everything Provided, Nothing to Worry About
As parents, we understand your life is busy. That's why everything is included within your child's fees. There are no hidden or extra charges to be paid, all daily necessities (nappies, food, drinks, linen etc) are provided.
Your child will have the opportunity to participate in a range of extracurricular activities including subjects such as language and music, as well as physical education programmes. Striking a balance between theoretical and practical learning helps to improve the physical and mental wellbeing of children whilst also strengthening social skills and cognitive development.
There's no need to pack a meal from home, as we have a commercial kitchen located on premises. Staffed by a qualified cook, your child will be provided with delicious meals at morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea. All meals are made fresh and meet Nutrition Australia guidelines, there is something for every child to enjoy.

College Application, Essay-Writing Checklist
How to Start the Process
It's about that time again! Know what that means?
THE COMMON APP IS OUT! Oh, joy, the process begins! As scary as this fact is, don't let it ruin your summer. Here are the things you need to do to start your applications in the least stressful way possible.
Step 1. Register on commonapp.org/
*NOTE* BEWARE of commonapp.COM because this website will try to make you pay to fill out the common application which is WRONG.
When you have time, start filling out the basic information—your name, age, school, address, etc. This stuff is easy; you know how to do this, I promise! Also, find a time when you can sit down with your parents to fill out information about them and your home and life and whatnot. Getting this out of the way will mean you don't have to do it later! YAY GETTING THINGS DONE! It's just one more thing that you can finish early!
Step 2. Make a list of the colleges you are applying to, their application deadlines, and any supplemental materials or essays they might require.
Lists are fantastic. I love lists. Use them to your advantage. If you list out every school deadline and requirement, there will be no surprises and nothing can sneak up on you. This is the ONLY foolproof way to ensure that everything that needs to get done will get done. It will organize your brain, as well, because having all the information floating around in there is clogging it up and stressing you out. Put it down on paper to get it out. Check off materials as they are sent.
"Johns Hopkins University
-Send ACT scores by [date]
-Write essay
-Schedule a tour
-Get teacher recommendation by [date]"
Step 3. Sit down and write an essay.
Just do it. Turn off your phone. When I say turn it off, I don't mean silence it or put it on airplane mode. I mean TURN IT OFF. Turn. It. Off. Seriously. Off.
Retype of copy-and-paste the prompt you are going to write about at the top of a word document and start typing. The earlier you do this, the more time you have to go back, revise, and stop worrying about it! Also, doing this BEFORE school starts means that once the craziness begins, you won't have essay drama on top of all the homework and tests and quizzes, oh MY!
Step 4. Make a list of any outstanding work that needs to get done, and then DO IT.
In case you didn't realize this in step 2, I LOVE LISTS. A LOT. If I could marry a list, I would. What this step is meant to do is finish organizing your brain so that you have everything you need to do laid out, plain and simple. For example, I have a summer assignment for AP Psychology that I need to get done, and I need to go shopping for index cards. These are two items currently on my to-do list.
Step 5. RELAX.
Take a yoga class. Go get ice cream. Dance. Search for cute puppies on YouTube (my personal favorite is the Husky Puppy live feed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeVd0ANAz20). I don't care what you do, but treat yourself to some fun or relaxation once you've crossed a couple things off on your to-do list. You deserve it.
Step 6. Sleep.
I know it's the summer, but you need to sleep or your brain will go haywire. Every study ever will basically tell you that sleep is good and you need it. Also, true fact, the more hours of sleep you get before midnight, the better. So don't stay up late to write essays or fill out apps. Go to sleep at a reasonable hour, wake up before noon, and get work done when you feel energized.
That's all for now! See, that wasn't so bad. Just organize your brain, lay things out, and the whole process magically seems a whole lot easier
Here's a picture that always makes me laugh:

On Tour with Prism Book Tours
(Heroes of Shelter Creek #1)
By Claire McEwen
By Claire McEwen
Adult Contemporary Romance
Mass Market Paperback & ebook, 368 Pages
July 1st 2019 by Harlequin Heartwarming
She can save his ranch…
But can he forgive her?
Maya Burton knows she's the last person rancher Caleb Dunne wants to see. After all, she survived the crash that killed his sister, and then left town. Now she has to convince the stubborn cowboy that she can help him save his ranch. But once she earns his trust—and his heart—will she be able to walk away?
"Aunt Lor, stop."
Maya started at the deep voice. Her attention had been so riveted on Loreen that she hadn't heard Caleb approach. She turned and there he was, taking up space with his height and breadth and that tough, dark magnetic field that he seemed to have acquired in the years since she'd left. It messed with her breathing and made it hard to look away.
"Hello, Caleb," Grandma said, and Maya was sure she spotted a twinkle in Lillian's eye. She'd always had a soft spot for him and had treated him like family all the years he and Maya had dated.
"Hello, Mrs. Burton."
"You always called me Lillian, so please don't get all formal on me now."
One side of Caleb's mouth curled in a half smile that took Maya by surprise. She'd only seen him looking stern, hungover and miserable. That piece of a smile was a shimmering reminder of all the times he'd smiled at her. Except he'd been smiling at Grandma, and it was gone now, as he turned to his aunt. "You told me you wanted to meet for dinner. Then you talked me into this meeting instead. How about you and I go get that food now?"
So much for Grandma's theory—that Caleb wanted to learn about predator management.
"Of course." Loreen softened when she looked up at her nephew. "I was just sharing that it's been hard, living without Julie. And that seeing Maya here, such a successful scientist, giving a presentation to the town, well, it just made me think about all of the things that Julie never got to do." Loreen glanced at Maya. "If things were different, she would have accomplished so much."
"Of course she would have," Grandma said kindly. "She was an incredibly talented young woman and her death is a terrible loss. But it's not fair to take it all out on Maya."
"Agreed." Caleb's eyes narrowed as he studied his aunt, who pressed her lips together and suddenly started rummaging in her purse for something.
Caleb's gaze drifted to Maya. "I enjoyed your presentation."
Maya stared at him, wondering what had happened between last week and now. Had Annie worked some mysterious rancher-to-rancher magic?
"Um...thanks?" Maybe it came out as a question because there were so many questions in her mind. Last time she'd seen him, he'd pretty much thrown her off his property. But it wasn't just that. Caleb looked different. He wasn't wearing a hat, so she could see his dark hair cropped close. He'd shaved off the thick scruff she'd seen out at his ranch, his eyes were clear and his skin was brighter. He seemed sober and alert and maybe even a tiny bit friendly.
And he was...Caleb. Not the shadowy figure on the trail or the ill stranger she'd tried to work with last week on his ranch. His face was sculpted with new lines and shadows, but he looked more familiar now. She could remember, as she studied him, how his expressions used to be. How his face looked when it lit up with humor and curiosity and love.
She would give a lot to see that Caleb again.

What is Yomdel Live Connect?
During specified hours, when a Yomdel live chat operator successfully captures a lead, and identifies strong buying signals from a website visitor, your sales team will be rapidly connected with the person via a voice call.
This "Hot Lead" will be patched through for you to then speak directly to the prospective customer and hopefully close the new business.

How does it work?
1. The operator asks a series of questions via live chat to ensure that the lead is fully qualified and of high-value.
2. The prospect is asked if they would like to speak to someone immediately.
3. A Yomdel Customer Service Supervisor calls you to let you know that you have a hot lead. They give you all of the necessary information so that you don't have to repeat any of the same questions that have already been answered.
4. The call is rapidly patched through so that you can strike while the iron's hot!
As a subscriber to Yomdel Live Connect you will be assigned a dedicated tracking phone number that routes directly through to a hotline number with your sales team that you specify.
Alongside the call, Yomdel will directly message you with the key information on the prospect; typically name, contacts and a brief summary of requirements.
All we need from you is your preferred dedicated number or numbers for us to call and the times when you will have a sales person or other team member available to take the call.

Call 24/7: 773.484.3131 / 847.215.2600
When arrested, you need a Skokie Criminal Defense Attorney. Few experiences are as frightening as the sound of a jail cell door slamming shut following a DUI arrest or the feel of the cold steel of handcuffs on your wrists when you are arrested for a misdemeanor or felony. Because officers with the Skokie Police Department and local prosecutors take pride in the city's low crime rate, they are especially tenacious in pursuing criminal cases. The Skokie crime rate for violent offenses is only 117.5 per 100,000 people, while the national average is 214 per 100,000. This means that you can expect little empathy or understanding from law enforcement authorities or prosecutors because of their commitment to fostering the political advantages of appearing to be "tough on crime."
While a criminal arrest has the potential to derail your life, an arrest does not mean that you have done anything illegal or that you will be convicted. If you hire the Skokie criminal defense law firm of Goldman and Associates, you can trust our experienced Skokie Criminal Defense Attorney to meticulously investigate the facts. This careful review of the facts enables us to craft persuasive defense strategies designed to prevent a blemish on your criminal record, keep you out of jail, and protect your career.
An accused has powerful constitutional rights that protect him or her from the almost limitless coercive power and resources of the government. However, state and federal law enforcement authorities hope an arrestee's naiveté, fear, and anxiety will result in a suspect failing to assert his or her constitutional rights. Failure to exercise these rights typically amount to a fast track to jail or prison.
Whether you are arrested for a misdemeanor like a first-offense DUI or a felony like armed robbery, possession with intent to deliver, or murder, you should immediately assert your right against self-incrimination (right to remain silent) and right to have an attorney present before speaking with the police or answering questions (right to counsel). Illinois jails and prisons are full of people who might be free today had they simply been unwavering in assert these rights from the moment of their initial contact with law enforcement.
Many people assume that they do not need to hire a private Skokie Criminal Defense Lawyer. These individuals might attempt to "clear things up" by talking to law enforcement authorities or see how things go with a court appointed attorney. These strategies can backfire and lead to a criminal record, incarceration, substantial fines and other adverse consequences. When you are arrested by an officer from the Skokie Police Department or another law enforcement authority, the officers and detective have no interest in determining the truth. Their goal is to develop evidence to justify formal charges and support a criminal prosecution. This is why you should never speak with law enforcement authorities without a top quality Skokie Criminal Defense Lawyer in your corner.
While court appointed lawyers usually are experienced and skilled, they often labor under the weight of staggering caseloads. The limitation of financial resources available to public defenders mean that meetings might be rushed conferences in the hallways prior to court hearings. The public defender also might urge you to accept an early plea bargain or forgo costly forensic testing because of funding limitations. All of this presumes that you even qualify for a court-appointed attorney, which depends on strict financial means testing. When your future, freedom, and reputation are in jeopardy, you cannot afford to roll the dice when selecting a Skokie Criminal Defense Attorney.
At Goldman and Associates, our Skokie Criminal Defense Attorneys have the experience, skill, and commitment to protect your constitutional rights and fight for your liberty. When our law firm is retained at the pre-charge investigation phase of a criminal prosecution, we will closely scrutinize law enforcement procedures, identify violations of your constitutional rights, challenge witness veracity and reliability, and expose weaknesses in forensic evidence. While we discuss and evaluate plea bargain offers with our clients, we know that the best plea negotiations occur when the prosecutor lacks confidence in the likelihood of his or her success at trial.
Our strategy is to promote this insecurity by aggressively asserting your rights while constructing the strongest defense strategies. When we are retained at the pre-charge stage of a criminal prosecution, we might use weaknesses in the prosecutor's case and violations of your rights to discourage bringing formal charges, reduce the severity and/or number of charges, or seek diversion to protect your permanent record.
While the defense strategies our Skokie Criminal Defense Attorneys might employ will be customized to fit the facts and circumstances of your situation, some defenses that we might assert include:
The penalties associated with a criminal conviction depend on the specific criminal offense, but potential punishments might include:
These formal penalties do not constitute the full spectrum of consequences of a criminal conviction in Illinois. Our Skokie Criminal Defense Attorneys recognize that the impact of a misdemeanor or felony conviction can last a lifetime and include career limitations, adverse immigration consequences, restrictions on travel, disqualification for certain loans and financial aid, and other negative effects on academic aspirations.
These are just a few of the life-changing effects of a criminal conviction in Illinois. Our Skokie Criminal Defense Lawyers at Goldman and Associates offer a free consultation, so you should call us today at 773-484-3131 or 847-215-2600 to schedule your free consultation. We can even come to you, so contact us to balance the scales of justice when facing state or federal charges.

The death of a single child can devastate a community.
So there are no words to describe the depth of heartache felt in Halifax, this province and across Canada in the aftermath of a tragic early morning fire that claimed the lives of seven children in Spryfield on Tuesday.
It's the deadliest fire in this province since four children died in Pubnico in January 2017.
That the Barho family was Syrian — arriving here in September, 2017, after fleeing the horrors of that country's civil war in hopes of a new, better life in Canada — only deepens our collective sadness.
The children, ranging in age from infants to teenagers, included six siblings who accompanied their parents to Canada and a seventh recently born in this country.
The victims' names and ages — as released by the family mosque, the Ummah Masjid and Community Centre — are Abdullah, four months, Rana, 3, Hala, 4, Ghala, 8, Mohammed, 10, Rola, 12 and Ahmed, 15.
As this was written, the father, who may have gone back into the blazing two-storey home in an attempt to rescue his children, was clinging to life in a Halifax hospital.
The mother, who suffered non-life-threatening injuries, is understandably said to be in deep emotional distress.
On the mosque's Facebook page, Imam Abdallah asked for prayers for the family.
This tragedy obviously hits hardest in Nova Scotia's Syrian community, among those who best knew the Barho family. But sadness over such an unfathomable loss of young lives is being felt nationwide.
It's far too early to know exactly what happened. But reports by eyewitnesses, that in less than a minute a few flames grew to engulf the top floor of the recently constructed house, clearly demand answers.
The mosque has set up an official fundraiser, supported by the Hants East Assisting Refugee Team (HEART) Society, which sponsored the family.
Nova Scotians are heartbroken over the tragic loss of so many young newcomers we barely had a chance to know.

Chapter 209: Terror Reappearance
Translator: Tim Editor: Chrissy
"You also come from the sky ditch?" Wang Kailin asked.
"Yeah, the Zhang Qiang you are looking for came from my tourist group. He was the one who stepped on the ground when the ditch appeared," Ning Qingxue replied but she immediately remembered that this was related to her. If Zhang Qiang didn't try to show off in front of her, perhaps that sky ditch wouldn't appear.
Ye Mo turned and said, "I'll go there now and turn it into dust, are you scared?"
Ning Qingxue shook her head. "As long as I'm with you, I'm not scared at all."
If she had to walk that path again, she would rather die. However, it was different when she was with Ye Mo. And, she felt very sweet. Ye Mo was going to destroy that thing because she was frightened.
Ye Mo looked at Wang Kailin and said, "If you're not scared, then come with us; if you are, then stay here."
Wang Kailin saw that Ye Mo seemed to be walking around very easy here with Ning Qingxue on his back. Most importantly, Ye Mo gave him a magical artefact.
From this, it could be seen that Ye Mo was no ordinary person. If he stayed here by himself, it would be suffering. Plus, even a girl like Ning Qingxue wasn't afraid, so why would a man like him be.
Thinking about this Wang Kailin replied, "I'm not afraid, if you dare to go back, I dare to go with you."
Ye Mo looked at Wang Kailin with praise. "Not bad, you have some guts. In that case, let's go."
They returned the way they came from.
Ye Mo didn't travel at full power but was still much faster than Ning Qingxue. Wang Kailin could also barely follow. The way that Ning Qingxue took a whole night and a few hours to travel was done by Ye Mo and Wang Kailin in a few hours.
At 3 pm, they were near the sky ditch.
"People had already come." Ye Mo immediately noticed that tens of meters from the sky ditch were barricaded. It seemed something happened later and people weren't allowed to enter here.
Wang Kailin looked at the pitch black sky ditch and still felt terror. Ning Qingxue only dared to secretly look at the sky ditch from Ye Mo's shoulders.
"Hmm, I don't seem to have that feeling anymore." Wang Kailin immediately felt that he didn't have that sense of terror today.
Ye Mo knew that even if it was some sort of evil spirit, it wouldn't dare to come due to his yang chi. Plus, those things may be very dangerous to normal people, but it was nothing for him.
His spirit sense could detect any hidden thing as long as the thing wasn't in a higher state than him. It was just as though his invisibility could trick many people, but in the cultivation realm, this low level invisibility was completely useless.
"We can leave from here, Qingxue, I'll send you out first, I'll go in there and have a look," Ye Mo said. Before Ning Qingxue could reply, Wang Kailin was worried; why would Ye Mo dare to go in and look?
Ning Qingxue bit her lips and said stubbornly, "No, I'm staying with you."
The reason Ye Mo wanted to go in the sky ditch and look was to destroy the thing that scared Ning Qingxue, but he was scared Ning Qingxue would be frightened by the scene in the sky ditch. Now that Ning Qingxue wanted to go with him, he immediately cancelled the plan and said, "In that case, let's leave."
Wang Kailin let out a deep sigh of relief after hearing Ye Mo decided not to go. He was really afraid Ye Mo would go down there, but at the same time, he admired Ye Mo's courage.
Ye Mo also had his own plans. He wasn't afraid of the dangers there. To him, this danger was nothing compared to Earth Level masters. He was afraid those two Earth Level masters would chase here. Although the possibility was small, it could still happen.
After the three left the bush, there were more barricades outside. People were starting to come, and Ye Mo said to Wang Kailin, "I won't leave with you. People outside are coming, it's best you don't say a word about seeing me, goodbye."
Wang Kailin looked at Ye Mo's disappearing figure in shock. He still didn't know what Ye Mo was called. He only knew that he was strong, quite bold and gave him an artefact of unknown level.
He saved his life but since he asked him not tell talk about it, Wang Kailin wouldn't. Just when he wanted to flip the fence, he saw people coming. There were more than ten people. He felt relieved because he was finally out of danger. That horrifying forest petrified him quite a bit.
But at this moment, he heard that sharp howl again. The bleakness that chilled the bone came again. It was the same sound he heard last time. That shrieking howl was much stronger than last time. He immediately had this sense of helpless fear.
Not only was the sound much stronger, even that bleak feeling was way stronger than before. He immediately knew that bleak feeling didn't disappear. It was probably afraid of that young man who saved him, and now that Ye Mo was gone, he was finished.
Just when Wang Kailin wanted to run, that bleakness closed up on him quick. Wang Kailin felt as though he soul was being pulled away but he couldn't move at all. The people coming for him were still a few hundred meters away. a sense of hopelessness filled his heart.
Suddenly, Wang Kailin felt that jade necklace at his chest emit a pale yellow light. Then, a more sharper shriek sounded not far from him. it seemed as though it was injured and disappeared instantly. And that feeling of his soul getting pulled away also went away too. At this moment, he saw more than ten soldiers run to him with guns.
Wang Kailin took a deep sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He took out the jade necklace YE Mo gave him. he now knew that not only was this a magic artefact but also a very high level one. This would be worth at least millions in the shops but that young man gave it to him so easily. Too bad he didn't get to know him.
This was the second time Ye Mo saved his life.
At this moment, Ye Mo and Ning Qingxue had left Shen Nong Jia mountain district and went into the nearest town. He put down Ning Qingxue and took her to the shop buying her a t shirt and long pants as well as a pair of shoes. Then, the two left the town.
"Where are we going?" Ning Qingxue could finally stay with Ye Mo now and YE Mo's attitude towards her had changed. There was only joy in her heart. No matter where Ye Mo wanted to go, she would follow.
Ye Mo thought for a while before saying: "I still have some things I need to do. After I'm done, I will go Ning Hai. I've planted some silver leaf grass there. How about I send you back first and come find you after I'm done."
Ning Qingxue smiled sweetly, "I actually live at Ning Hai. Are those precious things of yours called silver leaf grass? I know, before I left, I asked Xu Wei to help look after it. Don't worry. I'll go to Ning Hai and look after your silver leaf grass and wait for you to come back….."
Ning Qingxue grabbed Ye Mo's hand like a wife. She was a little worried he wouldn't come back for a long time.
Ye Mo thought of the bloodied silver heart grass last time and clutched Ning Qingxue's hands closely, "Qingxue, you're really dumb. You actually used your own body to protect a small grass, what if you're hurt? If I didn't happen to come back last time, I really don't dare to think about the consequences. Even if I kill the entire Song family, so what?"
"mhm….." Ning Qingxue replied quietly. She felt sweet because of Ye Mo's concern. After a while, she said: " I actually don't regret it. At that time, I only know you liked that grass a lot but I hurt you again and again. I just wanted to help you keep something that was useful to you. Other than that grass, I didn't know what I could do for you. Sometimes, I really feel I'm useless….."
"I won't allow you to do something so stupid again, I don't care about that grass, okay?" Ye Mo pitifully held Ning Qingxue's hands. A girl loved him whole heartedly.
"I know, I know you won't care, I could even eat that face preserving fruit whenever I want.... Sometimes, don't spoil me too much. I'm afraid that feeling would suddenly disappear, i….." Ning Qingxue's voice grew soft. The nicer Ye Mo was to her, the more she worried that she would suddenly lose it one day. She wanted herself to be useful to Ye Mo and not be his burden.
"Stupid, don't think like this anymore. You know I won't suddenly disappear in front of you. Before was before, now is now. It's different, okay?" Ye Mo looked at the extremely vibrant and beautiful Ning Qingxue and felt more loving at heart.
Seeing Ning Qingxue not talk, Ye Mo talked slowly: "I will make the Song family disappear, don't worry."
"No, I don't care about that. Everything is fine as long as you come back."
