Sophomore year continues the journey toward discovering your interests and preparing for college admissions. Whether you aced freshman year and are eager to continue building your admissions profile, or you got off to a shaky start in high school and want to refocus on your priorities, sophomore year is an important year for admissions. It's one that can make or break admissions chances to selective schools, and one during which you are exploring your interests and laying the foundation for the rest of your high school years.
Extracurricular activities can be any activity you participate in outside of the classroom. They can be clubs and organizations, summer activities, volunteer projects, sports teams, and more. At extremely selective schools in particular, admissions officers like to see about 8-10 extracurricular activities over the course of your high school years.
College admissions officers use your extracurriculars to evaluate your abilities and understand what you're capable of completing outside of the classroom.
You've probably been a member of some of your extracurricular activities for a full year or more now, so you have a feel for how the activity works and whether you like it or not. Sophomore year is the best time to critically assess your extracurricular commitments and be selective about which to continue pursuing — if you wait until junior year, you may not have time to develop those key extracurriculars into activities of substance that you can discuss in your college applications.
If you really love a certain extracurricular, you should definitely stay involved! If you aren't a huge fan of an activity, though, you have a decision to make. Is the activity worth your time?:
Time sinks are activities that take up many hours per week but aren't really doing anything for you.
For example, maybe you joined band in middle school as a required elective. Now, in high school, you practice your musical instrument and attend rehearsal for 5 hours per week outside of the school day. If you don't really enjoy band and don't see yourself being a professional musician in the future, you might consider that band is a bit of a time sink — something that you're spending a lot of time on but aren't getting a lot out of.
It might be the best decision to quit band and focus those 5 hours per week on something you're truly passionate about.
At the same time as you're pruning away activities that aren't meaningful to you, you should be leaning in to activities that are important to you and seek leadership positions with increased responsibility as you move through high school.
Leadership positions in some activities are a little hard to plan for — for instance, you can never count on the results of an election, and application-based positions are still subject to the discretion of the consultant or other authority figure selecting the leader. It's your responsibility to put in the most effort that you can to demonstrate that you're a worthy candidate for a leadership position in the activities you're passionate about.
Staying late after club meetings to help clean up and discuss upcoming projects with current leaders. Signing up for more responsibilities and demonstrating that you're committed to the activity because you're always willing to show up and do the work. Making friends with current leaders or other members so they recognize your passion for the activity and your potential for leadership.

The PSAT is the "Preliminary SAT," also sometimes called the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (NMSQT). Your school usually sets up a session for you and all of your interested classmates to take the PSAT twice, once in sophomore fall and once in junior fall.
The PSAT doesn't have a direct impact on the admissions process, unlike the SAT and ACT. Taking the PSAT is an informal way for you to practice your standardized testing skills and gain an understanding of your relative performance on a test similar to the SAT, so you can begin composing your SAT/ACT study plan and forecasting your admissions chances at colleges of interest.
However, the PSAT in junior fall is somewhat important in that it is an opportunity to qualify for the National Merit Scholarship program. The National Merit system awards honors to students who have the highest PSAT scores in their locality, their state, and ultimately the country. The highest level of the competition awards monetary scholarships, but even the lower levels of the competition provide distinctions that can be important in the admissions process as signals of your academic ability.
The students with the most successful SAT scores are those who start preparing as early as possible, usually in the latter half of sophomore year. After taking the PSAT in sophomore fall, you'll probably have some idea of your projected performance on the SAT. If your score seems to be within your target range for admission at the schools you're interested in, it's still important to study for the SAT and maintain or, better, improve that score to maximize your chances.
If your score seems too low, you'll want to work even harder to identify your strengths and weaknesses (are you a pro at English but struggle with geometry questions in the Math section?) and focus on those before you take the SAT for real.
In sophomore year, make a general plan for when you want to take the SAT for the first time (junior fall is a good goal) and then work back from the test date to plan how many full practice exams you want to take and how many hours per week you want to spend on practice problems. It's a good idea to use the summer after sophomore year to do a lot of SAT studying, because it's harder to study for standardized tests during the school year when you're juggling homework and extracurricular activities.
While extracurricular activities and standardized testing should be on your mind as a sophomore, your primary job is still to do well in school and demonstrate an "upward trajectory" of class difficulty for your eventual college applications. Admissions officers at selective schools like to see students take at least one AP class if their high school school offers them for 10th graders, with the rest of your core subjects (math, English, etc.) being taken as Honors or Pre-AP level courses. Depending on the amount of AP classes your school offers, you might want to take more than one AP class in sophomore year. For selective schools, your ultimate goal should be to take as many AP classes as you can by senior year (that you can handle), taking more classes each year. So, to make a plan, you might want to start with the maximum number of APs that you could take in senior year. Let's say its 5. In junior year, you might want to take 3-4, and in sophomore year you want to take somewhere between 1 and 3. Learn about our mentorship program for sophomores
AP classes are an important factor in the admissions process because they have relatively standardized curriculums across all schools, which allows admissions officers to easily compare the rigor of your high school course schedule with that of other applicants. Thus, you should be trying to take as many AP classes as possible, taking more each year of high school. We get asked all the time whether there's a magic number of AP classes that you have to take to get into selective colleges. The answer is that the number depends greatly on the number of AP classes that your school has to offer. Admissions officers consider the context of your school, and want to see that you made use of all the academic resources at your disposal. So, if your school offers 10 AP classes total, you want to take as many of those 10 as possible over your entire high school career, probably at least 8 for admission to selective schools. But if your school only offers 3 APs, it's okay to only have 3 AP courses on your transcript!
Yes. Admissions officers look to your summer activities to understand what you do when you're not going to class and working on homework, just like extracurriculars. In addition, summers are such a blank slate that they are excellent opportunities to challenge yourself and distinguish yourself from other applicants, if you participate in substantive activities that you are genuinely passionate about.
You have two main options for the summer: you can participate in an organized activity like a summer program, or you can craft your own path. Either option is equally valid in the admissions process, as long as you spend your time learning something (whether academic or life skills) and exploring your interests and passions.
Formal academic summer programs are often run by colleges and provide excellent opportunities to diversify your understanding of a subject that you're interested in. There are also study abroad and leadership programs that provide great experiences to write about in your eventual college essays. If you're interested in a formal summer program, make sure you stay on top of application deadlines, which usually fall somewhere between January and March.
If you're more interested in crafting your own summer, there are a ton of ways to demonstrate valuable skills. You could get a part-time job, which shows admissions officers your ability to maintain a schedule and work hard (and also earn some money!). You could start a personal project or teach yourself a new skill You could explore internship or volunteer opportunities at local companies or non-profits. If you're spending your summer doing something that interests you and that you're genuinely excited about, you're on the right track.

I attended the Lainey Gossip SMUT Soiree this past week, my first ever btw, and it was quite a well-attended event. I had never been to the Evergreen Brickworks, the venue for the event, and it was an impressive space. I don't tend to follow many of those celeb gossip thingy's but WOW, it was apparent at SMUT that many, many, many stylish women do. Women of all shapes, all sizes and all styles came out in droves to listen to this self-made celeb blogger drone on about, well ... frankly ... smut!?! Dare i say, it was fun to watch! I was a little amazed and quite taken with the great fashion in the room. Hint: a good event to attend next year with your besties if you want style ideas and tips. It's a night of people watching with wine! But the best part? We received a pretty kick-ass swag bag on our way out the door. Now THAT'S the sign of a good party.

The first series by Dwig I started collecting was his Zodiac series, number 128, published by Tuck. All the cards are Valentines. April's reads:
"April tears~April sun~Were you born 'neath either one? Be my Valentine the while~Dry my tears and make me smile!"
These cards are usually in the $20 range, and not easy to find postally used. I still need January, March, June, and August. Recently someone listed the all the cards of the series individually on eBay, and the only one I won was October. This card (featured below) crosses over into Halloween, so it was a little pricier than the others in the series.

After turning into a karate teacher myself and opening my very own Dojo, I decided there was no way I would train those same boring karate drills kids hate. Although buttons could be simply bought in bulk, normally if you ask household and buddies you possibly can amass a goodly number of buttons for making crafts with seniors. She spent the first two decades of her arts advertising career in administration positions at The Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. Jill Robinson leads TRG's day-to-day operations and repair to arts and cultural organizations and to the business.
These are a number of the most popular arts and crafts on my article, which options these, and other initiatives, also include a hyperlink to the patterns, instructions and footage of the initiatives. This brings me to another point – affect from and upon religions associated to martial arts. Over the years, there was a tremendous tuning of my understanding of what an individual gets from his or her martial arts coaching. I love this idea, you will find the tutorial for making this craft at dollar retailer crafts.
As a TRG lead consultant, Jill has advisable solutions for development to scores of particular person shoppers including orchestras, opera, dance, and theater corporations, arts centers, festivals, and museums. Works of public art just like the Tucson Arts Brigade's mural project remind us of artwork's means to influence our everyday lives in constructive ways," says Blakely. To study the Dark Arts is to review the character of 1's self and also to discover the paths of magick that makes use of the crude feelings, darkish emotions, and anger into one thing useful and productive. Those artists who dare to draw up leviathan with a hook and express that may certainly be considered as practitioners of the Dark Arts. Self defense may be considered the obvious benefit of martial arts training.
MMA shattered the myths of martial arts that we see in varied martial arts films, TV shows, and video games. Kids colouring sheets, teen footage to paint and adult colorist books and art sketches rated G. I've bought an artist sister who would admire it. My neighbor was just exhibiting me how she made herself an arts and crafts closet! I assume personally that if you need a sensible martial arts as opposed to a sport martial art the best one would be Aikido. We are in Arizona now and this trip has given me a better appreciation of the native American Indian art and crafts. Kids grow out of clothes too rapidly; you do not have to really feel bad about spending a lot of money for issues they will barely put on. Kids like to learn about God, and this is a perfect technique to encourage them to pray.
You can see it below OR for those who want to see it on a large screen, come pay us a go to at The Green in Nunhead as a part of the Nunhead Arts Trail on the 24th and twenty fifth of September. Most martial arts are married to a philosophy that can not be separated fully from the art itself. ARTS believes all youth need and deserve alternatives to express themselves and outline who they're to be able to stay healthy, resilient and fulfilled lives, which in turn creates wholesome and vibrant communities. I used to throw out mason jars from sphagetti sauces, now I will likely be holding them for crafts. It takes time, assets and the sort of lengthy standing commitment Arts Brigade has demonstrated since 1996. I had an thought of what you meant by christian martial arts and that i wanted to know for positive.

SAN FRANCISCO (03/17/2000) - A new high-end business PC should run the newest, most powerful operating system, right? But if your preference is Windows 2000, you may have to wait--particularly if you want a DVD-ROM drive.
One month after Microsoft Corp. unveiled the long-awaited operating system, many powerhouse PCs, surprisingly, don't yet offer it as an option.
Compaq Computer Corp., for example, is lagging in bundling Win 2000 on its most powerful systems. And several other desktops on PC World's most recent list of Top 10 Power PCs (or their slightly faster siblings) still come preloaded with Windows 98 Second Edition, not Windows 2000.
Consider Compaq's 750-MHz Compaq Prosignia Desktop 300--the top of that line, and the beefier sibling of the Prosignia on PC World's current Top 10 Power PCs. But you can't buy it with Windows 2000 preloaded, although less speedy members of the family offer that option.
Likewise, Gateway's GP7-800, a system 100 MHz faster than one rated as a current PC World Best Buy, still doesn't come with Windows 2000. And Micron's Millennia Max, gracing the Top 10 Power PCs list in a 733-MHz edition, is now available with an 800-MHz CPU but not with Windows 2000.
The Driver Dilemma
Lack of device drivers is the main culprit, with DVD drives often at the top of the list.
For example, if you're looking for a Dell system, all models are offered in a basic configuration, says Tad Druart, a Dell spokesperson. But you may have to do without DVD if you're looking to buy immediately. "This is a driver-related issue and Dell is working to get those models up and running Windows 2000 as well," he says.
It's a chicken-and-egg problem, says Jeff Tarter, editor of SoftLetter. "You can't create a driver until the hardware is finished," Tarter says. "A lot of hardware doesn't come to market until the operating system does."
"The world assumes that there's an operating system for Windows," Tarter notes.
"But there's an operating system for the Dell Dimension and the Compaq Presario. You can't take the CD you get with a Compaq and run it on a Dell. The vendor's versions are fine-tuned according to the individual PC."
Available for a Premium
To be sure, you'll find Windows 2000 preloaded on a number of systems, including some from Compaq, Gateway, and Micron. Acer, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Midwest Micro, NEC, Siemens, Toshiba, and many other vendors also are selling Windows 2000 PCs.
In general, you can expect to pay about $100 more for a Win 2000 than a Windows 98 system.
If you still want Windows 2000, Tarter cautions that you'll be better off waiting for a machine on which it's already installed--even if you're confident you know how to upgrade from Windows 98.
"A retail version not a good idea," he says. "For most people, the only way you're going to get the best performance is to buy [Windows] preloaded. The general operating system creates problems because of its assumptions about what to do. You're never going to get quite the fine-tuning that goes on between the vendor and Microsoft."

Something for the Weekend, Sir? Those of you who choose to pursue the itinerant professional life will be familiar with the need to carry one's tools of the trade everywhere, usually in a heavy bag slung over one shoulder. Like me, you may have found that the number of devices you have to carry around has increased, for a variety of reasons that I have moaned about before.
My shoulder bag hasn't become much heavier over the past year but it's probably time I bought one with a greater number of separated, padded pockets to stop all the devices clanging against each other as I lope from one location to another. A few weeks ago, I had to sprint to meet an appointment – London transport seems to operate in either of two modes, supreme efficiency or utter collapse, with no intermediate stages – and when I took my kit out later, it was like emptying a tumble drier. One item had even turned inside out.
And for many of the add-on devices that I have to carry around because of the piss-poor spec of oh-so-modern notebooks, such as extra storage and external DVD drive, I have to carry a clutch of cables I never needed before.
Source: Sarah Connor Chronicles/Warner Bros
What's bugging me most is the number and variety of cables I have to carry around for my devices. Half of these devices are 'wireless'. I became more acutely aware of what a pain in the arse this has become when I set off on vacation. It doesn't seem that long ago that I could get by with one power cord, a single mobile phone recharger – we all had Nokias – and a couple of European adapter plugs. This year, I had to pack a such a collection of coiled cables that they occupied a quarter of the space in my hand luggage.
In addition to a host of different mobile phone rechargers for the family, there were USB cables (standard, mini and micro), HDMI cables (ditto), Nintendo DS rechargers, iPhone and iPad rechargers, an HP notebook power cable, digital camera rechargers, car adapters, and more. There were black ones, white ones, one with a bit of shite on, and one with a fairy light on to show you the way. When I reached into my bag for a book during my outbound flight, it was like a scene from Snakes on a Plane.
Source: Snakes on a Plane/Entertainment In Video
I should be grateful: back in the day, I'd have to buy two dozen rechargeable batteries – or carry my own body weight in Duracells – to run all this peripheral junk for the duration of a holiday. Then there was a really silly period in the not-too-distant past when cameras, MP3 players and the like came with nothing but a plain device-to-USB cable without any mains socket adapter, so that you often ended up switching on your computer simply as a device recharging station.
Lugging a quarter-bag of electrical spaghetti is one thing but the real challenge is getting the power levels of all the wireless devices in sync so one doesn't flake out at the wrong time. When this happens, it's a bit like heading off to the South Pole with a team of huskies, only for one of them to drop dead, whereupon all the other sit down and look at you with tongues hanging out and tails wagging, cheerfully asking (in doggie language): "OK, now what?"

How I wish big business had properly invested in Nikola Tesla's full-scale experiments for the wireless transmission of electrical current.
Yes, I know this would have involved powering up my iPhone via the stratosphere or by using the Earth itself as a conductor, but I feel confident that one or two refinements would have been achieved in the technology during the 95 years since Tesla's death. Just imagine a hi-tech world that relied upon the realm of earthworms for its economic and technological sustenance. Frank Herbert wouldn't have been a novelist but a historian.
Unfortunately, the common public perception of Tesla today is of some kind of scary Lovecraftesque egghead meddling with the forces that bind the universe together, much as David Bowie played him in The Prestige. In his own time, however, big business simply treated him as a risky investment and – using an apt cliché – pulled the plug.
So it's partly because Tesla was a poor salesman but principally because early 20th Century investors were as thick as pigshit that I have to keep plugging my so-called wireless devices into the wall every bloody day using cables too short even to reach from the socket to the top of a fucking knee-high coffee table.

With sweeping landscapes ideal for farming and ready access to the sea, Spain is unquestionably a destination for foodies. Whether you're feasting in the southern Andalusia region or along northern Galicia's abundant coast, the country's vibrant flavors abound. Here are a few of the most famous regional dishes to try on a tour of Spain.
Paella may well be the dish that springs to mind when thinking of traditional Spanish cuisine, and for good reason. With spices that link back to the Middle East and ingredients the sing an ode to some of Spain's most important culinary products, it's a dish that captures the essence of the country. While Valencia's authentic paella is made with rabbit, chicken, snails, beans, and saffron-seasoned rice, the well-known seafood variation is just as indulgent. No matter what kind you order, you should follow Go Ahead staffer Rebecca's first-hand foodie advice and expect to wait for the best-of-the-best. "If your dish comes in less than 25 minutes, that means that the rice was pre-cooked and has been sitting out," she says.

"The Gilda"
San Sebastian churns out some of Basque Country's best pinxtos, a regional type of tapas, and this famous bite of pickled guindilla peppers, green olives, and salty anchovies is a must-try. It's a balanced combo that's said to have been invented at Casa Vallés in 1942, the year American screen actress Rita Hayworth appeared as Gilda in the eponymous film. The history is charming and the ingredients are fresh, so even if this trio of ingredients doesn't sound like something you'd spring for, "the Gilda" is more than worth a try!

Churros con chocolate
If a sweet treat is what you seek, these fried sticks of dough dipped in chocolate are sure to satisfy the craving. The best news? You don't have to wait until it's time for dessert to indulge—Spaniards traditionally savor these pastries for breakfast! One great place to order some is Madrid, where a hearty cuisine is influenced by every province on the Iberian Peninsula, and The Travel Bite blogger Rachelle made it a point to dig in on tour. "The churros here do not have the sugar and cinnamon that we put on them in the U.S.," she says. "They're more of a plain, fried donut and there's a really thick chocolate that you dip them in. It's delightful."
Try it in Madrid on: Portugal, Spain & Morocco
The term "chilled soup" may strike you as odd, but a taste of this Andalusian specialty is sure to change your mind. Served as a purée of cucumber, tomato, onion, bell pepper, and a very generous amount of peppery Spanish olive oil, gazpacho is both a refreshing beverage and satisfying lunch during the hot summer months in Seville. Cooks throughout the city often make their gazpacho different ways—thickening it with bread, blending in chilies, or topping it with croutons—and tasting it for yourself is a quick way to get to the culinary core of the region.
Try it in Andalusia on: Barcelona, Madrid & Seville
A staple on almost every menu throughout Spain is jamón, or cured ham, which reigns supreme as one of the country's most important delicacies. Whether you try high-quality Jamón Ibérico, produced from Iberian black pigs, or bite into a sandwich made with with Jamón Serrano, produced from white pigs, one thing is for sure: It's all good. Go Ahead staffer Harris agrees. "Jamón Ibérico is amazingly tasty," he says. "I tried it for the first time in Barcelona, and enjoyed watching butchers in markets along Las Ramblas prep it right in front of me."
Try it in Barcelona on: Food & Wine: A Taste of Spain
No trip to Spain's Catalonia region is complete without trying one of these flaky pastries, which are filled with decadent custard known as crema Catalana, deep fried, and rolled in sugar. If you want to try one—or a few—of the best, the xuxu served at the Pinotxo Bar in La Boquería market are a revelation, and swinging by for a taste is one of the best city activities to enjoy in Barcelona.

Salmorejo Cordobés
Both simplicity and flavor shine in this puréed tomato, bread, and hard-boiled egg soup that hails from Córdoba. Often likened to gazpacho but with a much thicker consistency, it's a chilled concoction perfect for filling up and cooling down during Spain's warmer months. "This is a very simple summer soup, yet it is so rich and delicious," says Tour Director Manuel. "Every time travelers try it they fall in love with it." If you want to fall in love, too, dig in and feel free to skip the spoon! It's often scooped up with chunks of bread.

Polbo á feira
Seafood serves as the cornerstone to the Galacia region's cuisine, and really finds a place to shine in polbo á feira. The dish is prepared with select, quality ingredients—boiled octopus, salt, paprika, and extra-virgin olive oil—and is traditionally served up on a wooden plate. While it seems like an uncomplicated recipe, ensuring the octopus stays tender is a must and can be difficult! When it's cooked just right, the dish's fresh-from-the-sea taste is hard to beat.

The FDA Cracks Down on JUUL
Teens love JUUL ... and that's a problem.
JUUL has invaded high school and college campuses.
The nicotine is bad enough. But counterfeit vape products come with other problems.
The nugs on the bus go round and round.
Pass the vape. Then pass the bread. And the potatoes. And actually, just pass me everything.
"I feel that vaping is the definitely the best way that I express myself."
It could become the second state to do so after Hawaii.

Day 6 – Montefiascone to Viterbo –Hey, That's Backwards/
Though still quite uncomfortable, I felt after a few days that I'd like to give walking a try. Since we didn't feel we could rightly continue until we'd properly walked the distance between the two cities, today was the day we'd make things right … even if it was backwards from our already backwards itinerary. Confused? So are we! Read on!Read More

Published on
From the forward:
The departure of the Lord's Resistance Army has breathed new life into northern Uganda. The region is enjoying more visitors and its reputation as a "no go" area is being gradually reversed. Improved security is allowing the rapid development of the region and generating increasing interest from businesses and tourists alike.
With this in mind, the Wildlife Conservation Society and the Uganda Tourism Association have undertaken a study, with support from USAID through the WILD programme, to gauge the potential of tourism in northern Uganda and to promote its development and expansion. The study focused on untapped or underutilized attractions in Nebbi, Arua, Moyo and Adjumani Districts in the West Nile sub-region; Amuru, Gulu, Lamwo, Kitgum and Pader Districts in the central part of the Northern Region and Kaabong District in Karamoja. Murchison Falls National Park was not included in this study in light of its already well-developed tourism infrastructure.
This publication is the result of that study and its purpose is to introduce prospective investors to the variety of natural, cultural and historical attractions in the region that can be drawn on for tourism. It also is intended to support the Ugandan government's plans to diversify tourism products within the country – particularly along the Nile. It is our hope that it will inspire responsible private and government investment that will bring economic benefits to the local communities as well as protect and preserve the area's varied and unique resources.
The Wildlife Conservation Society is thankful to Charles Abola and Jim Ayorekire of Image Consult for carrying out this study. We also acknowledge the valuable contributions of the Uganda Wildlife Authority, the National Forestry Authority, Uganda Museums, the Ministry of Trade, Tourism and Industry, the Ugandan Tourist Board and relevant district officials to this study, in addition to the development of Uganda's tourism industry as a whole. We also appreciate the valuable input from private sector companies, who have shown genuine interest in the opportunities provided by northern Uganda.
A final word of thanks goes to USAID for its generous support to conservation and tourism in Uganda in general and the WILD programme in particular. It is USAID's assistance that supported the study and allowed this brochure to be developed and printed.
Northern Uganda is open for business and tourists!
Jan F Broekhuis, Director, WCS

The acronym stands for is "keep it simple stupid". My high school coach used to yell "K.I.S.S." over and over in practice. I hated it! Who likes to be called stupid, especially when you're sixteen years old and master and commander of all the knowledge in the universe? But eventually I learned to not throw the baby out with the bathwater.
The difficulty with simplicity for me is that it feels good to complicate things. It makes me feel like I'm getting things done, getting smarter, or working harder. It feels like my level of expertise should be rising when I introduce more complication.
When I got out of music school, and started touring, writing and recording with my band full time, it was as if I had every jazzy chord tattooed on my brain and I would be required to use at least a minimum of four of those chords per song, or else my dean would come in the room and kick my ass, screaming "Dominant 7" over and over (forgive the music geek joke)! And guess what, I had no idea how to write a good song. I realize now that I hadn't learned how to use all that great knowledge that I had spent four years cramming in-between my ears yet.
It took almost ten years after those first, post-college attempts at writing to realize how to use those same complicated chords in a simple way.
Now I love K.I.S., and yes, i prefer it without a side of stupid, because complication does not discriminate between the dumb and the percipient. So if I'm plugging in a microphone, writing a chorus, making business phone calls, communicating with my wife, or telling a joke, I've got my brain tuned to simplicity. I've found that the simplest answers are usually the right ones, and they usually get the complicated jobs done the fastest.
How about you? What do you do to keep things simple? What's your favorite "simple" song?

As with many other fields, the music industry is undergoing swift and dramatic changes due to emerging technological advancements. The digitization of music has fundamentally shifted every aspect of the industry, from the way music is recorded to the manner in which albums are distributed and marketed. From record labels and music producers to the recording artists themselves, everyone involved in the industry has been forced to adapt their approach to music making and how money can be made.
Music educators are responsible for educating the next generation of musicians or music lovers. Keeping up with these advances and integrating them into the classroom is important for preparing students for what's to come.
The Streaming Model
The way that streaming music services have fundamentally changed the music industry and the way that audiences consume music cannot be overstated. Indeed, many in the younger generations of music consumers have never bought a physical copy of a recording in their lives. Whether or not this change marks a step forward is largely a matter of your point of view.
On the one hand, listeners have easy access to a universe of music, often for free via both legal and illicit avenues. Even paid streaming services that offer access to wide catalogs of completely authorized music are much less expensive than physical musical media ever was; a month's subscription to Spotify Premium or Apple Music is the equivalent of the price of a single CD in the late 1990s, for example. Affordable and authorized streaming services have also helped reduce the amount of piracy across the music industry by shifting the balance between risk and reward for would-be pirates.
While the affordable and broad choices provided by streaming services are a boon to consumers, and the reduction in piracy benefits to both recording artists and record labels, many musicians are still less than pleased with the proliferation of streaming services. The amount of royalties received by an artist when a listener streams their song is significantly less than what they would receive from the purchase of a physical album. Some musicians, such as Taylor Swift, have pulled their music from these services for this reason.
Despite obstacles, streaming services present a unique opportunity for educators as well as strong support in a time when music education direly needs it. Music educators can use these services to bring a diverse set of sounds into the classroom, at the touch of a button. Further, many of these services support important music education causes that keep the love of learning music alive for many. For instance, streaming service Spotify has been known to host "hackathons" to support music education and tomorrow's musicians. These events have led to a number of new music analysis and teaching tools that will continue to impact music educators and students in the years to come.
Shifting Income Sources
When the music industry was dominated by record labels and physical media for music distribution, the recording artists behind the music had a much smaller role in the musical marketplace. Record industry executives were the ultimate decision makers, deciding what artists to sign, what music to release and how to market it; record sales were the major avenue to financial success and the primary way to measure the viability of a particular artist within the industry.
Digitization has shifted the balance of power within the industry, giving more decision-making authority to consumers and musicians themselves. While streaming music services may have reduced the amount of royalties that artists receive when listeners tune in to their music, the increasing digitization of the music industry has granted recording artists greater opportunities to involve themselves in more revenue-producing opportunities within the industry. Under the old industry model, record labels dictated marketing efforts, and the emphasis was on selling records. Now, musicians have the freedom to experiment with novel marketing methods, such as free distribution of their music and surprise album releases, while relying on alternate avenues to generate revenue, such as touring and merchandising.
Heightened creativity in the face of shifting income services can benefit today's music students in addition to existing musicians. More students can feel free to engage in self-expression through their music, and can strive to become professional musicians on their own terms. These greater opportunities allow music educators to encourage students to follow their dreams and help them find new and different ways to break onto the music scene.
One Person Versus a Whole Band
For many musicians, one of the most profound effects that music digitization has had on the way that they make music is how it has enabled them to do more with less. Prior to the technological advancements of recent years, the only way to produce the sound of a full band was to actually have a full band in the studio with you. Innovations, such as loop machines and digital audio workstations, now enable one talented musician to replicate the sound that used to require an entire band. With these options solo artists or smaller bands are able to achieve the same results with fewer band members to coordinate, making the recording process more convenient and profitable for the remaining musicians.
In addition, new technologies have led to new sounds and innovative sampling techniques. While fully replacing a four- or five-person ensemble may not be practical for touring rock bands, shifts caused by technology are driving new musical trends allowing recording artists to embrace fresh musical styles that depend on digitally produced sounds rather than an extensive and expensive band of backing musicians.
With access to this technology, music educators can also showcase a number of different sounds and instruments in a more relevant manner. If these are the tools musicians are using, then students should be able to integrate them into their learning of traditional instruments. Understanding the number of different sounds they can produce can help today's students become tomorrow's professional musicians.
Technology and Accessibility
Prior to the digitization of the music industry, musicians and recording artists had one path to fame, success, and a profitable musical career: getting signed by a major record label. To be sure, record labels still hold clout in the industry, but they can no longer act as the gatekeepers they once were. Digital technology has made it possible for musicians to record without the financial backing of a label. Further, the advent of digital technology has allowed for much less expensive studio space that musicians themselves can produce recordings in, and the entire process has shortened to a matter of weeks or even days.
Releasing music has also become untethered from record labels. While vinyl has seen a surprising resurgence lately, new bands and recording artists have the completely valid option of releasing their music without concerning themselves with manufacturing or distributing physical copies at all. Digital avenues, such as YouTube and Spotify, allow musicians to access a receptive audience of potential fans without incurring the heavy costs of manufacturing and distribution.
Both of these developments open new and exciting avenues for aspiring professional musicians. Music educators now have the unique opportunity of teaching students in an era of unprecedented accessibility, both to music creation technologies and to new and different sounds being created by today's artists. Music has never been more accessible, and it's an exciting time to be teaching it.
A strong system of music education forms the basis of the music industry, and the U.S. school system needs talented music educators now more than ever. When you choose to earn your Online Master of Music in music education from Kent State University, you can gain the knowledge, skills, and real-world techniques needed to advance your career in music education. Contact Kent State University today to learn more about our program offerings and find out how you can apply.

Spinal Track is a charity dedicated to giving FREE Track Days and Rally Experiences to disabled drivers, with adapted cars developed by racers who understand the wants and needs of disabled car enthusiasts.
Disabled should never mean 'unable'. Long gone are the days when a disability meant giving up the driver's seat; with the development of hand-controlled cars, disabled drivers have taken back their own independence along with the steering wheel. And there's no reason you can't have fun driving!
Here at Spinal Track, we recognised the lack of any available cars for disabled drivers looking to try their hand at Track Days or those simply wishing to get behind the wheel of something a bit different. We run exciting, inspiring and exhilarating Track Days and Rally Experiences, utilising hand-controlled VW Golf GTIs and Toyota GT86s for the ultimate mind-blowing driving experience. Spinal Track cars have been built to be perfectly suited to driving on track and stage with all the necessary safety equipment. With an instructor in the passenger seat giving you tips and advice, you'll be blasting round the track in no time. Whilst our Golfs and GT86s are seriously capable cars, they're easy to drive, so don't worry about your lack of experience - you'll be fine.
Spinal Track pride ourselves on our ability to offer these experience days for free to our customers. As a charity, our experience days are entirely dependent on donations and sponsorship, and we are incredibly lucky to have so many generous benefactors, partners and volunteers who help to keep Spinal Track running. But there's always a need for more….
Experience the thrill of driving around a number of the UK's best known tracks, including the world famous Silverstone circuit, in our specially adapted hand controlled track cars.
Our Richard Burns rally experiences give disabled drivers the chance to enjoy the thrills (and spills) of rally driving in a specially adapted, hand controlled car.
Spinal Track's Track Days and Rally Experiences are only made possible by the generosity of our sponsorship partners, and by individual donations. If you think you can help in creating these amazing experiences, please consider supporting us today.

Alicia has kept her super simple side that she claims in a 2001 MTV VMA strapless beige dress for one of her first public appearances on a red carpet. She looks very young in this photo and for good reason, she was just 20 years old at the time! Young and innocent, she poses very well for the camera!
2. 2001
The singer defined fashion in the early 2000s with her hat, asymmetric top, belt and elephant-leg jeans at the 2001 Billboard Music Awards where she received an award for her single "Falling", which was number Charts for many weeks around the world.

On the first day of competition in the Manitoba Winter Games, Fifteen year-old cross country skier Kate Mazur captured the gold medal in the Juvenile Girls 7.8 km classic with a time of 38:24, more than two minutes faster than the next female competitor.
Mazur comes from Erickson, Manitoba in the western area of the province, and trains at nearby Riding Mountain National Park. Mazur has been skiing since she was around four years of age and credits her father with introducing her family to skiing.
This is Mazur's fifth year of competitive racing and her second Winter Games experience. In 2014, she won a bronze medal. What are her thoughts when she begins to tire when racing? She finds that following her coach's advice to "just relax" works.
Other activities that interest her are canoeing and volleyball. Mazur described the Thompson Community Ski Trail as "beautiful".

India, the second largest cotton producer in the world has banned all exports of cotton "until further notice".
Because China, the largest cotton producer in the world is importing and hoarding a lot of cotton, and because Indian cotton exports had already "exceeded government targets".
I am not making any of this up.
These are two huge countries that just seem to have no clue when it comes to trade. Casual arrogant protectionism and the enshrinement of inefficiency seem to be policy goals.

The Cotton Club

Two thoughts:
1) Sounds like a big favor to India's incredibly inefficient textile industry
2) This is exactly how the rice crisis started a few years ago. At least nobody riots over high cotton prices

Wait - so one country that can produce a ton of cotton is worried about another country hoarding all the cotton and doing...what? Setting up a one man cotton cartel, or an artificial shortage?
It's not like India could just grow more cotton in the case of a drastic cotton shortage. Or worse, they might have to wear polyester instead, and nobody wants that.

Are you itching to get your DIY home renovation on? If so, you might not have thought about one of the unfortunate byproducts of your much-anticipated projects: waste. Whether you're replacing siding or building a new deck, you'll probably end up with more overflow than you plan on. Instead of risking your driveway's appearance as a neighborhood junk yard, overshadowing the beauty of your newly renovated home, you can plan ahead to employ responsible and cost-effective methods to reduce the clutter associated with home construction.
Donate the Good Stuff
While you've been waiting to get rid of those dated light fixtures, others might treasure them as the perfect vintage find. Your upgraded appliances might allow you to bless someone who doesn't have the money to buy an older, basic model, brand new. You can choose from several beneficiaries, helping various community organizations or individuals. With all the reno you're doing, you probably don't want to spare the time to drop off or deliver your unwanted items, but if they're in working order, you can probably get people to come take them off your hands.
ReStore, a well-reputed national organization supporting Habitat for Humanity, is one option. They accept cabinets and counter tops, windows, working appliances, and other reusable materials in good condition. Another organization is the Carpet America Recovery Effort, which connects you with local organizations which recycle old carpeting. One bonus of donating through such an organization is that you can receive a tax credit.
If the tax benefit isn't a major factor for you, other possibilities include letting people in your family and friends networks know what you have available, either in person or through social media. You could also post them on sites like Craigslist or Freecycle. Regardless of the venue you choose for donating unwanted materials, you'll want to take extra care when removing them, in order to preserve them in as good condition as possible.
Drop Off the Remaining Waste
Even if you preserve every material you can, you'll still have some measure of construction waste. To eliminate the cost of a dumpster, you can DIY your waste elimination. You'll want to contact your local landfill or recycle center to find out what kinds of materials they take at the various areas of the dump. That will allow you to plan ahead by separating items accordingly, saving you time and frustration once you're there. If you have a large amount of waste to haul, you may need to borrow or rent a flatbed trailer or truck, so you'll want to look into that before you make your final decision.
In the end, you might decide that it makes more sense, financially and otherwise, to hire a professional in order to take care of your renovation waste. If that's the case, we have some helpful tips which we'll provide in the second post in this series.

How To Follow Your Optimal Diet During The Holidays (Even If You're With Family)
My mom sends me the same text every year as I'm getting on the plane to fly home for the holidays: "Is there anything you want from the grocery store?"
This innocuous text meant something very different in 2008, when I was 50 pounds heavier and used the opportunity to add my favorite treats to our family shopping list. Now, as I follow a strict Paleo diet, it's an unwelcome reminder that I'll be far from a Whole Foods or anything like it for 10 days, in a town in rural Pennsylvania, where cold temperatures and blizzards make going to the store impossible.
But it doesn't have to be a setback. I like to think of being home for the holidays as a great time to get healthy and practice good habits, since "no time to work out" and "too stressed to eat well" aren't quite valid excuses during a holiday break.
Whether you're Paleo, vegetarian, gluten-free, or just trying not to eat pie for both breakfast and lunch, here are my best tips for following your optimal diet over the holidays:
1. Mentally remove environmental control problems.
Decide in advance that junk food isn't part of your holiday eating plan. The economy-size pecan pie your dad buys from Sam's Club might as well be a pile of mail sitting on the kitchen counter. No need to decide every time you see it; you've already decided that it — and things like it — are not going into that healthy body of yours.
2. Order your favorite healthy snacks in bulk and have them delivered to your destination.
The grass-fed bison bars and sweet potato chips made with coconut oil are definitely available on Amazon Prime for less than what you pay at the grocery store — I've already checked!
3. Clue your family in.
The rules of a vegan or gluten-free diet might be a no-brainer to you, but family members aren't always quite as enlightened. Luckily, there are ways to avoid "it does have dairy, but just a little bit!" comments from your older sister. It might seem high maintenance, but taking five minutes to send a quick list of no-no foods is more than worth the effort. Just as important: sending a "yes" list.
4. Be prepared.
Think through the number of meals you plan to eat at home in advance and make sure you have exactly what you need to make them all. As soon as you get home, hit the grocery store and make sure you have enough supplies for the week. Eating well will ensure you feel good enough to tackle your little cousin at the Christmas party and don't feel sluggish on January 1, when you go back to your everyday, non-vacation life.

It's rare to hear someone reflect on a conflict in a former workplace and say:
'My life is worse because of it.'
Many people believe that the goal of conflict management is to make everybody happy.
Yet when you ask those people 'What are the chances of that happening?', they shake their heads and say 'It's almost impossible.'
We need to have some reference point as to when a conflict is resolved.
Universal happiness - complainant, respondent, boss, customer, widget - is not a realistic one.
Resolving conflict so that people can get back to the widget has benefits beyond the widget.
It lets them think 'Well, whether I like it or not, it has been resolved and I now need to make choices based upon that.'
It's rare in life to have an umpire who resolves something for us and says 'Here's what's going to happen.'
That's what a good boss does when she resolves a conflict.
We may not like it. We may not agree with it. It may not be what we wanted. Yet it provides a reference point for our decisions about our life and our happiness. We regain control in an environment where we may have felt as though we'd lost it.
What might seem like a loss in the world of my cubicle, can be a win for personal growth, creativity, and realisations about where I want to be in the world of my life.

A new online tool can take the temperature of local property markets. Sharon Dale looks at the top hotspots and cold spots.
Yorkshire's top ten property hotspots and cold spots have been pinpointed by a new online tool that takes the temperature of the housing market by postcode area.
PropCast, the UK's first house selling weather forecast, analyses buyer demand and reveals that Bradford appears to be the coldest area, while Sheffield is definitely red hot.
Noisy sex and pork chops: How to avoid house viewing blunders
Bradford has four locations in the top 10 coldest postcodes. They include the city centre, the Heaton and Frizinghall area, Great Horton and the Laisterdyke and Thornbury areas. Keighley, also a BD postcode, is the fifth coldest spot.
Hull also features with HU1, the city centre, at number two and HU2, which covers Wincolmlee, at number seven. The others three Yorkshire cold spots are DN1 – Doncaster city centre – and YO62, which covers sought-after Helmsley, Ampleforth, Kirkbymoorside and Hovingham, along with YO51 covering Boroughbridge and surrounding villages.
For sale: The hidden Yorkshire mansion with easy access to M62
Steven Potts, Bradford area director of Dacre, Son and Hartley estate agents, believes that the Bradford figures may have been skewed due to the high number of off-market transactions within Asian communities in some BD postcode areas.
"There tends to be a lot of private transactions between family and friends in those areas, which won't be reflected in figures monitoring how many properties there are on the market. So they might not be cold spots at all," he says.
Edward Hartshorne, head of Blenkin and Co, adds that Y062 and YO51 are surprise cold spots as both are still very popular with buyers.
With seven postcodes in the top 10 hottest areas, the Sheffield market is on fire. S10, which includes Ranmoor, Fulwood and Crookes, is at number one, with S7, which includes Nether Edge and Abbeydale, and S8, Beauchief, Norton and Woodseats, at second and third respectively. S6 Hillsborough, S20 Mosborough, S74 Hoyland and S11 Sharrow, Brincliffe and Whirlow also feature in the top spots.
The three remaining hotspots in the top 10 are LS4, which is Burley and Kirkstall Hill on the fringe of Leeds city centre, and two York areas popular with buyers – YO24 Acomb and Dringhouses, and YO31 York, Heworth and Huntington.
Stuart Goff, of Hunters estate agents, says he isn't surprised that Sheffield dominates the Yorkshire hotspot table: "Average house prices in Sheffield are low considering it is a well-connected big city with lots of amenities. It's also close to open countryside with quality accommodation and plenty of big employers.
"That's why we have the biggest student retention rates in Britain. Students stay on after graduating because it's a great city. It's very friendly and they can afford to buy here. We still sell to huge number of first-time buyers and we have been really busy. July could be the best month we have had for two or three years."
He says S10 and S11 are well-known hotspots thanks to their south west location in the desirable Hallam ward, which is one of the richest constituencies in the country. He believes that while S7 is not generally popular thanks to "poorer quality terraced housing near the city centre", the part that fringes the Hallam ward could have pushed it into the hotspot top 10.
He adds that Mosborough, which is home to the Crystal Peaks shopping centre, has grown in popularity thanks to a large number of new-builds and the Supertram, which gives commuters a quicker link to Sheffield city centre.
Hillsborough, north of the city, is also on the Supertram route and the travel time into the centre of Sheffield is 10 minutes.
"There are no big council estates there. It's mainly privately-owned homes with properties starting at about £110,000, so it is popular and affordable," says Stuart.
Woodseats is Hunters busiest office in Sheffield. It is on the south side of the city and its terraced houses, which start from £120,000, are popular with buyers who want easy access to the Derbyshire countryside and to the city centre. The postcodes in the top ten hotspots are all sellers' markets, while those in the coldest spots are buyers' markets, according to PropCast The property postcode "temperature gauge" was set up by Gavin Bragz to help homeowners check how easy or difficult it will be to sell their property. His aim is to help vendors set a realistic price using heat ratings ranging from very hot, hot, cold or very cold.
These are determined by the number of properties on the market in a postcode and the percentage of these that are under offer or sold subject to contract.
A professional house trader, Gavin buys and sells second-hand part-exchanged properties on behalf of house builders. His commission relies on selling the exchanged homes quickly.
He hopes that PropCast will inject some realism into the market and will quell over-ambitious homeowners and those estate agents who over value to win business.
"The figures will allow people to identify true local market conditions and to adopt the most effective selling strategy to ensure they sell for a better price, faster and with less stress," says Gavin.
PropCast can be found in TheAdvisory, the UK's oldest independent advice and support resource for property investors.
Gavin adds: "Those with homes in the cold spots need to be aware that there is an excess of stock on the market, meaning buyers have the upper hand. Presenting your home in tip-top condition coupled with competitive pricing is the key to selling quickly in these market conditions. Try to resist the urge to 'test the market' as all it's likely to do is help make other sellers' homes look better value for money.
"Meanwhile, those in hotspots are in the best position to sell their home as the balance of power is skewed in their favour. This is because there are more buyers than homes for sale. Properties sell quicker and buyers in these areas need to be organised and realistic. They need to be prepared to spring into action the moment a property they like hits the market, be pre-approved for a mortgage before they make an offer, be prepared to negotiate and quickly make their best offer."
*PropCast can be found on TheAdvisory website, www.theadvisory.co.uk. Users input their postcode and PropCast reports on market conditions, shows historic trend data and displays heat maps.
*Make sure the price is right: Property consultant Alex Goldstein says: "Realistic pricing of your home is key. Overpitch the price and you risk putting buyers off instantly. Underpitch and you will receive multiple low offers as buyers think you are desperate to sell.
"An estate agent is there to guide you on tactics. Ensure you judge an agent on more than price alone and never but never instruct an agent just because they quoted the highest guide price for your property. Any idiot can do that."

Flipcause Processing Fees:
- For all web payments and payments made through the card reader, the per transaction fee is 4.9% + 30 cents.
- For manual payments entered in by an administrator through the Dashboard or using the mobile app, the per transaction rate is 3.5%.
- Your supporters have the option to cover that processing fee for you.
Flipcause Guaranteed Effective Rate:
- If all your supporters cover the fee, which a high percentage of donors do, you'll pay no transaction fees and have cost-free fundraising, and your effective rate is 0%.
- What usually happens: about 80-85% of your supporters will opt to cover the fee, given the option. This results in about 1.1% effective rate.
- If all of your supporters don't cover the fee, your effective rate is 4.9% + 30 cents. This is rare, unless you don't give them the option to cover it.
- But if you do give them the option to cover the fee, and your effective rate ever goes above 1.5% effective rate in a calendar quarter, Flipcause will credit your account back for the difference at the beginning of the next quarter. This is what is meant by our Guaranteed Effective Rate of 1.5%. This Guaranteed Effective Rate will apply as long as you are giving your supporters the options to cover that processing fee. Note that this guarantee does not apply to manual payments.
Please review our processing fee structure on our site here - flipcause.com/pricing.
You can also see transaction rate information on the Home page of your Flipcause Dashboard under Transaction Rates and Savings.

Man, it was only not freaking long ago that the Fantastic Four were like Gonzo at Marvel. The first family of the Marvel universe gone, they don't even get in no more. Screwed over by big corporate interests, you know, the same thing. But they're back now, man, now that they've been unscrewed, because Disney just bought the whole thing.
And boy, an exciting new development, Mr. Fantastic went from having crazy, un-sexy, clean shaven face, to a new super crazy, sexy, beard. Look at it.
When we asked Dan Slott to comment, he said "I don't want to talk to you people. You're crazy, leave me alone." Which is fair, but this is probably what he most likely would've said. "Yeah, when I was looking to revamp the Fantastic Four, I decided that the best ... that a thing nobody ever tried before was giving Mr. Fantastic a super freaking sweet looking beard, that made him look like a combination of a pirate and Ernest Hemingway. And Ernest Hemingway with stretchy powers."

I appreciate the kind words, but if you're going to link to that rip of "Hyperborean Trenchtown," would you mind editing the post to reflect the fact that that LP is still available for purchase, both from Weird Forest and Deception Island and linking to both sites?
To be clear, whether you leave the link up or not is totally up to you; I just want to make sure that no one interprets it as an indication that they can't get the actual record anymore. Feel free to get in touch with me if you want to talk about it. Thanks!

You can still buy the LP? I had no idea. I just (stupidly) assumed it was gone already.
Sorry about that. This is one of my faves from last year.
