We have a pretty good PR and though we would share the wealth with our clients (among other reasons for changing the format). At first it worked great, by the start of May virtually all of our clients had a PR of 6 or higher (Even new sites that had PRs of 0 now were a 5 or 6). However, the new links did not boost their position in the SERPS.
At first we thought sandbox and waited. However, their are 26 sites in our portfolio, some new, some have been around for years, some have no back links other than from our site, others have a fair number of back links. All experienced no boost in the SERPS to compliment the large boost in PR.
Now it has been 3.5 months. Our client sites are placing well in Yahoo and MSN (for moderate SEO) have shown no improvement in G, even for keywords with modest competition.
Example 2. intellinetsystems.com - this is a site we launched in Dec 03. It is not strongly optimized, but every page has some level of optimization using title, meta, and header tags. From Jan to March they had a PR of 3 and recieved about 5-10 targeted search visitors a day. After our portfolio change they now have a PR of 6 yet their rankings have not increased from when they were a PR3.
Example 3. southwestkia.com - We did a Kia car dealer site (OK it's not our best design work but they had no budget). We optimized them on "Dallas Kia". There site has been around for over 3 years, but had only one back link. Now Y and MSN have them as #1 for the term. They are nowhere to be found in G. Our site even pops up at #20 (the portfolio page we have them listed on). Southwestkia.com is indexed in G but it makes no sense why they are not in the top few pages.
The good thing is our clients don't expect a boost in traffic (most don't even know that we made a change), so they haven't been complaining. But, I want our clients' sites to be successful and traffic will help. Plus this whole thing just has me puzzled. Its like the new links have frozen these sites' placement in G.
Has anyone else had a similar experience? Anyone have any insight into what is happening and what to do about it?

If the PR boost is from non related sites the PR bonus might not be helping as much in the SERPS.
I've had a number of sites link to specific subs of my site. Some help quite a bit and some are of no help at all. I'm thinking it might be a theme issue.
My opinion. I did allinanchor for 1 & 3 and you were 1 & 8 respectively. Hasn't the sandboxxing of links been suggested to be between 3-4 months.
My guess would be they're in for a big jump if nothing else has changed.
I am seeing this too. A couple months ago I hit a page in light competition with three PR7s on three different sites... two of these only had five other outlinks TOTAL on them. It didn't do a damn thing. A few months ago that page would have blasted through the roof. Either some linkage is taking an awful long time to kick in now, or linking pages that are not closely themed has very little ranking benefit.
In my humble opinion you have some issues with some of your tags that aren't hurting your rankings for "Dallas KIA". But I'm shocked to see you guys in here. Your home site is one of the most well optimized design sites on the internet.
Drop me a PM if you want to shoot the breeze.
It seems to be more than our links not helping as a non-themed back link. (BTW if only themed links help ranking, why get links from dmoz or other general directories?). It is as if our clients' sites are have been frozen. Even when we make on page copy changes, their rankings are not changing.
Could it be that Google is factoring into its algorithm that addition of links from a site with high page rank might be the result of purchasing links and introduce a damping factor for such? Also if this is the site that was duplicated by G W M could this be a factor?
The sites don't have the right off page factors to rank well (links with keywords). Get more links and I'd guess that the sites will start to rank in google.
Yahoo favors on page factors higher than google, which is why the sites rank on yahoo but not in google.
Three people on the DigitalPoint forum banded together (early April as I remember) to run a test showing the importance of backlinks to a site. Their hypothesis was theme was not important nor did it matter that multiple links came from same site. All the backlinks came from three sources. Someone by name of Alek supplied a page rank 7 link. As I remember it took forever for the link to be picked up. The test is ongoing and can be found at http: //forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread php?t=256&page=1&pp=10 The thread has gotten so long that I can not keep all the nuisances in my mind but what your situation and the situation with their test may have in common is how long it is taking for link from site with high pagerank to kick in.
I would agree that "theme" is a complete myth at the moment. I've never seen any proof to support the myth.
Maybe I better leave my PR7s up for a little longer.
Shannon is referring to a site that has stolen our site, greatwhitemarketing.com. There are actually dozens of sites that have stolen graphics and text from ours. I had posted an earlier thread about it. The thread was asking if this duplicate content would harm our seo.
It is an interesting theory and would not surprise me if there is some truth to this ... or perhaps a dampening function is applied ... i.e. takes a few months or so for the full "weight" of the PR8 to be applied.
Shannon: love that picture on your website - typifies the Texas boonies!
Patience is a virtue but not in this situation. Keep adding link after link. Google only puts up people who constantly bombard their website with new links on a weekly if not daily ritual of trading or buying links.
If you stop adding links......you stay still then go back down.

Uki-e ( en japonés 浮絵, literalmente cuadro flotante, y por extensión cuadro en perspectiva) es un género de la xilografía japonesa que utiliza las Convenciones Occidentales de la perspectiva lineal. Aunque nunca pasó de ser un género menor, a los artistas japoneses dibujaron y grabaron cuadros en perspectiva a partir de su introducción a finales de la década de 1730, Hasta La mitad del siglo XIX.
Hacia el 1739, Okumura Masanobu estudió los grabados europeos a fin de aprender las reglas de la perspectiva. Sus grabados se hicieron camino en Japón a través de Dejima o de China. Masanobu fue el primero en aplicar el término uki-e a las imágenes en perspectiva, y Utagawa Toyoharu terminó de desarrollar esta forma a finales de la década de 1750, cuando hizo xilografías en color que eran copias de grabados de Canaletto y Guarde. Toyoharu también fue el primero en adaptar estas técnicas a los temas japoneses.

El interior de los teatros kabuki era un tema común en los grabados uki-e; las escenas de interior son agradecidas a esta técnica porque es más fácil de aplicar un punto de fuga a la arquitectura que a un paisaje.

2017 AFL Grand Final Preview
THE Crows and Tigers are back. Finally, for the first time in 19 years for Adelaide fans and 35 years for Richmond fans, their teams are in a Grand Final. A somewhat boring and mundane finals series to date has seen both sides romp through their opponents on their way to the premiership decider. With both teams naming unchanged sides and with 26 weeks of football behind us, just one game remains.
IF you like what you read be sure to check out more SportsbyFry articles by hitting this link. Make sure you keep up to date with the latest Other Sport and AFL articles and follow my fan pages on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to never miss a minute of the action!
Why They Will Win
DUSTIN Martin. That's all. Richmond has the best player in the comp right now and boy is he feeling himself. The newly crowned Brownlow Medalist is averaging 24 touches a game and booted three goals on the weekend in a staring role. Martin's play epitomizes the style that Richmond adopts, fast, small ball attack that has seen them win their first final since 2001. Their 'back six' has been stellar all season too, allowing opponents to score the third-fewest points per game (76.5). Everyone loves the underdog story and the majority of the nation have got behind a Richmond who are daring to dream big.

Why They Won't Win
EVEN though the Tigers have made their way to the last match of the year a lot of the numbers don't back up their date with destiny. They were the fourth worst team in front of goal this year nailing just over 46% of their shots. Funilly enough Richmond led the league in clangers showcasing that they somewhat have issues moving and using the ball. The Adelaide outfit they are going up against isn't any other run of the mill team and if they aren't at their elite best then it could be over quickly for Tigers fans.
X-Factor – Jack Riewoldt
DAN Rioli is the easy option to go for here, but instead, I'm going elsewhere. If the Tigers are going to win then they need to kick a winning score. Dusty and the rest of the midfielders have shown that they can impact the scoreboard, but if they are going to walk away with the trophy Riewoldt needs to go big. He hasn't kicked multiple goals yet this finals campaign and with Daniel Talia or Kyle Hartigan likely to run with him, he will have his work cut out for him. If he can get up and about though Richmond will be hard to stop.

ALL season Adelaide has had the most potent forwards in the comp, with the firepower to single-handedly swing a game in a matter of minutes. Their trademark fast starts have seen most of their games over before halftime and they can blow the game open just like they did against the Giants and Cats in their past two games. Their midfielders have lifted to another level this year too dominating the contested possession count with more hardball gets than any other team in the league. If their forwards and mids can both start on fire then Adelaide will likely be premiers.
THE Crows have played at the MCG three times this year good for two wins and a draw. Playing on the big stage away from home is a different story though. The Tigers are basically playing a home game and while Adelaide fans aren't quiet if Richmond gets a run on it will be hard to ignore the noise. Struggling to score could mean that Alex Rance and his co-workers in defense can give the Tigers their usual drive from their backline.
Image from theroar.com.au
X-Factor – Tom Lynch
LYNCH is my dark horse pick for the Norm Smith medal. After booting 31 goals so far this season, Lynch isn't the Crows main goalkicker, but he does a lot more of the work up the ground than the other Adelaide talls. He averages 13 touches and over seven marks a game and if he can get off the leash and set up a lot of Adelaide's attack then he will help to break the Crows 19 year hoodoo.
5 Biggest Questions
Will anyone tag Dusty?
Can Richmond stop the dominant Adelaide forwards?
Who will win the midfield matchup?
Will Eddie Betts and Charlie Cameron help the Crows start fast?
Can Richmond kick a winning score?
SINCE the drawn Grand Final back in 2010 we haven't had a single-digit decider. In fact, somewhat surprisingly the premiership decider tends to end around a five-goal margin and I think that's what is going to happen on Saturday. Adelaide's offensive game is hard to stop and once they clear 100 points they virtually don't lose. If Richmond is going to pull off the upset they will not only need to shut down the Crows but they need to put points on the board themselves. There are just too many offensive threats on Adelaide's list for them to stop them all.

Ever since 1802 with the Baptism of Daniel Jones and his twin brother, Lewis, at Eglwys Newydd, Llanfihangel Y Creuddyn, every generation has produced a set of twins ending with Big Daddy's siblings Moses and Miriam in 1880. 3 generations in total, but for all I know, there could be more. We can't trace back any further than Daniel's Father, Morgan Jones and to date, I haven't found with proof any siblings of his.
Moses & Miriam Jones Born 1880, Merthyr Tydfil (Miriam passed away in 1881).
I have wondered on many an occasion if this is a genetic thing, passed from generation to generation. It seems there isn't a simple answer. There are different types of twins, identical and non-identical, or in the words of the professional, Fraternal Twins which are non-identical and can be passed down whereas Monozygotic Twins are identical and cannot be passed down through the generations.
To add to the confusion of twins being passed through generations, they can only be passed through the 'female' line and not the 'male.' It doesn't take long to see that all the twins in our family history are born through the male line! So is it just co-incidence that we seem to have had 3 sets over 3 consecutive generations?
The only credible answer I can find is that either the women our Joneses married were from their own line of twins, which would seem a bit too much of a co-incidence over 3 generations, or there is another possibility which I think could be the answer.
The mother of Fraternal Twins has to release two separate eggs. Apparently, the older a woman is when she gets pregnant, for example, when she is in her 30's, the more likely she is to release two eggs although this decreases once she gets over 35 years. If we look at our Jones twins, starting with Moses and Aaron as they are the first that I have a definite date for the age of their mother Ann. She was born in 1804, which would put her at 39 years old when she gave birth. It's a few years over the 35 years, but I still think it's feasible.
The final generation of twins, Moses and Miriam were born in 1880, which would put their mothers age at about 33/34 years old. This fits within the optimum range of years.
So that's my theory on the Jones twins. Of course, I may be completely wrong, but if you'd like more detailed information about twins and genetics, click this link.


> Well, google has come up with an innovative way by using artificial intelligence and machine learning to make captcha usable by everyone, and they call it Google re-captcha , which personaly I feel is by far the easiest and accessible way to differentiate between humans and bots. Yu just need to check the checkbox that says 'I am not a robot', and you are good to go. The best part is that it is free to use.
That's not really correct. Google *bought* recaptcha, and it does something different, which is now *part of* Google's recaptcha service.
The basis for a "tick the box" experience, which some users get from Google's current implementation, is that their systems have tracked you and collected enough information about you to convince the machine learning that you're clearly a human.
Otherwise you will face the standard recaptcha - which is basically a normal captcha, the smart bit being that Google uses your answers to solve its problems. It isn't completely accessible. It has a few different formats to try and give you something accessible, which is better than dreadful.

Venus (Frankie Avalon song)
Venus (Sirius XM)
Venus is the second planet from the Sun, orbiting it every 224.7 Earth days. It has no natural satellite. It is named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty. After the Moon, it is the brightest natural object in the night sky, reaching an apparent magnitude of −4.6, bright enough to cast shadows. Because Venus is an inferior planet from Earth, it never appears to venture far from the Sun: its elongation reaches a maximum of 47.8°.
Venus is a terrestrial planet and is sometimes called Earth's "sister planet" because of their similar size, mass, proximity to the Sun and bulk composition. It is radically different from Earth in other respects. It has the densest atmosphere of the four terrestrial planets, consisting of more than 96% carbon dioxide. The atmospheric pressure at the planet's surface is 92 times that of Earth. With a mean surface temperature of 735 K (462 °C; 863 °F), Venus is by far the hottest planet in the Solar System, even though Mercury is closer to the Sun. Venus is shrouded by an opaque layer of highly reflective clouds of sulfuric acid, preventing its surface from being seen from space in visible light. It may have had oceans in the past, but these would have vaporised as the temperature rose due to a runaway greenhouse effect. The water has most probably photodissociated, and, because of the lack of a planetary magnetic field, the free hydrogen has been swept into interplanetary space by the solar wind. Venus's surface is a dry desertscape interspersed with slab-like rocks and periodically resurfaced by volcanism.

"Venus" is a song written by Ed Marshall and Peter DeAngelis. The most successful and best-known recording of the track was done by Frankie Avalon and released in 1959 (see 1959 in music).
Venus became Avalon's first number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, where it spent five weeks atop the survey. The song also reached number ten on the R&B chart. The song's lyrics detail a man's plea to Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty, to send him a girl to love and one who will love him as well. Billboard ranked it as the No. 4 song for 1959.
The song was covered in the United Kingdom by Dickie Valentine who spent a week at number 20 in the Singles Chart in May 1959, the week before Frankie Avalon reached the Top 20 with his original version.
In 1976, Avalon released a new disco version of "Venus". This helped revive the singer's career, as his success had been waning prior to its release and was Avalon's last Billboard Hot 100 hit. The re-recording of "Venus" peaking at number forty-six and at number one on the Easy Listening chart. Avalon was quoted describing the remake: "It was all right, but I still prefer the original."

Venus is a Sirius XM Radio station playing rhythmic pop from the 2000s through today similar to Pop2K,
Venus is a Rhythmic Top 40 station with an emphasis on current-based Rhythmic Pop/Dance hits from the 2000s and today with recurrents from the 2000s, all commercial-free. The channel replaces Top 20 on 20, which officially signed off on July 16, 2014 at 12:04 AM after 14 years. The first song to be played on Venus was "My Humps" by The Black Eyed Peas. With the launch of Venus, the move will also give Sirius XM two channels with a Rhythmic-focused format, joining The Heat, whose direction favors current-based R&B/Hip-Hop hits.
With the addition of Pitbull's Globalization Radio, which was launched in 2015, Venus has shifted to Rhythmic Pop, allowing Globalization Radio to take on the current Rhythmic/Dance fare, Venus was dropped from the satellites, allowing users can still hear Venus online.

Sir John Jennings KB (died August 1642) of Halywell (later Holywell) House, St Albans, was an English aristocrat and politician who sat in the House of Commons at various times between 1628 and 1642. He is now chiefly remembered as the grandfather of Sarah Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough, and of her nemesis Abigail Masham. He is also notable for the extraordinary number of children (22) whom he fathered, all from one marriage.

Life

He succeeded his father, another Sir John Jennings, as head of the family in 1609; his father is said to have become insane some years before his death. He was High Sheriff of Hertfordshire in 1626 and was created Knight of the Bath in the same year. In 1628 he was elected Member of Parliament for St Albans and sat until 1629, when King Charles decided to rule without parliament for eleven years.

Jennings was re-elected MP for St Albans in April 1640 for the Short Parliament and again in November 1640 for the Long Parliament. He was a sympathiser with the Parliamentary cause, but died before the outbreak of the English Civil War.

John Jennings was married to Alice, daughter of Sir Richard Spencer of Offley and Helen Brocket, and they had 22 children, many of whom survived infancy. His will names only three of his children: Richard, Alice and Robert. His wife's will names four more children: Ralph, George, Elizabeth (who married Francis Hill), and Grace. Lady Jennings died in 1663.

Jennings' eldest son Richard succeeded him as MP for St Albans. Richard's daughter Sarah married the 1st Duke of Marlborough and was the confidante of Queen Anne. She was in time supplanted in the Queen's affections by her cousin Abigail Masham, who was another of John Jennings' grandchildren through her mother Elizabeth Hill.

Sarah later wrote in her Memoirs that she had not known of Abigail's existence until they were both well into adult life, because there were so many descendants of her grandfather. On learning of Abigail's relationship with her and of her poverty-stricken state as a servant, Sarah took her (and her sister Alice) into her own household, ultimately with disastrous political results for herself and her husband.

Tony Hall, BBC Director General, with members of Creative Access on the set of EastEnders, after the BBC announced a series of proposals to make "a tangible difference" in the number of people it employs from ethnic minority backgrounds.
The BBC has announced a series of proposals to make "a tangible difference" in the number of people it employs from ethnic minority backgrounds.
Actor Lenny Henry, who has criticised the TV and film industry for not providing a "fair and honest reflection of our society", has signed up to a committee advising the corporation on its representation of ethnic minorities.
The star joins other names including Paralympian Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson, former footballer Jason Roberts and TV presenter and Liberal Democrat peer Floella Benjamin on the panel which was announced today by BBC director-general Tony Hall.
The BBC said they would "advise and support the BBC on diversity".
Mr Hall said the BBC had "to do more" to increase ethnic minority representation on and off camera.
He said it would set up a new £2.1 million "diversity creative talent fund" to help "fast-track" shows by ethnic minority talent onto the screen and create a series of development programmes aimed at encouraging future commissioners and executives from ethnic minority backgrounds.
The director-general said he wanted to see ethnic minorities account for 15% of air talent in the next three years and said he would also set "local targets" in London, Birmingham, Manchester and Leicester to reflect the population of those cities.
He also said he wanted ethnic minorities to account for 15% of senior staff by 2020.
He said: "I want a new talent led approach that will help set the pace in the media industry. I believe in this and want our record to be beyond reproach. That won't be achieved overnight, but the package of measures I've put in place, alongside the support we'll get from leading experts, will make a tangible difference."
Simon Albury, who chairs the Campaign for Broadcasting Equality, said: "The BBC has announced a very substantial package of initiatives, which will drive significant and welcome improvement in BAME (Black, Asian and minority ethnic) representation at all levels. It is a huge step forward.
"My slight disappointment is that the Diversity Creative Talent Fund of £2.1 million amounts to no more than 0.12% of the BBC content budget of £1,789.1 million. If progress is slower than Tony Hall expects, this is an area where the Independent Diversity Action Group could look to see a significant increase."

Do you think he likes black and white cookies?
Just a quick Yuletide interruption, but I got the chance to try something new from Saranac Brewery in Utica, NY. Their-ready-for-drinking-as-of-yesterday, IPA-ified Belgian White Ale. I gotta say—as far as the two ounces I tried—it hit all the right notes. Wheat, coriander, citrus and good punch of Citra hops. Could this be a new trend on the beery horizon—what was black is now white? It's like that Star Trek episode where Frank Gorshin had to run around the Enterprise painted half black and half white—Oh, the duality of IPA!
Although, Saranac may have hit upon something here—a beer that caters to both the Blue Moon lovers as well as the the hoppy McIPAers. If I were them, I'd call it Saranac One Stone—as in killing two birds with one stone.

Trying My Hand at Spotify Playlists ft. Eight by #IUxSuga
May 26, 2020 crimson Leave a comment
If someone told me I would be stressing over music playlist a year ago I would not have believed it, but here I am, stressing over music playlists! While music has played an important role in my life at one point, it's never been something I really bothered with to this degree. Just last year, the only time I would listen to music would be when I would drive somewhere and I only listened to the radio. Trying to decide what to listen to and looking for new music just wasn't my forte
Then BTS happened and I started to become more interested in music, more specifically, creating playlists and I thought I'd share one that I made for eight, a single released by IU ft. SUGA. If it wasn't obvious from my Twitter profile, I am really into the BTS member SUGA, so when I saw he was being featured and would be producing the song, I thought it was time to test my nonexistent playlist making skills!
According to some accounts, the best way to stream a song is to create a playlist that is no longer than 3 hours, to have some 3-4 songs in-between the song you want to stream, and to alternate your playlist with other playlists, so I took this into account when I made the playlist (although I usually make much longer ones)
Here is the song if you haven't checked it out yet and don't forget to give it a like~
But before we jump into the songs I picked out for these two playlists, I thought I would just talk about this track (eight). Nothing in-depth but just some themes I picked up on that influenced the type of tracks I decided to hunt down. Since I don't know Korean, I had to rely on some lyric translations on the internet to understand what was happening in the track. I also heard that IU wanted this song to be about being twenty-eight and even though it sounds very pleasant and airy, the starting lyrics come off as aggressive and introspective, forcing the listener to think about where they are in life. Honestly, it's a little disconcerting but I also really like it for that reason
So are you happy now?
Finally happy now, are you?
Well, I'm exactly the same
I think I've lost everything
Everything comes as it pleases and leaves without a goodbye
Like this, I don't want to love anything
Where the sun has set, as far as the sun sets
I travel in those memories
While I wouldn't call this a love song it did have elements of love: platonic love, romantic love, and the love of inanimate things. In sum, love in various forms. The things we hold dear and love and keep in our memories. I wanted to choose some songs that had to do with growth and age, that sounded a bit melancholy, and that had some sort of farewell in the lyrics.
Breakup songs were the first things that came to mind but I often feel like these types of songs are toxic, with one partner usually blaming the other for what happened and eight didn't have that kind of vibe. But I also didn't want to choose music about romance. Even though this track talks about love, it almost sounds like two friends are reminiscing about the past and I wanted the other songs to follow this pattern
Island, yeah, here is an island
A small one that we made with each other
Yeah, um, forever young, the word "forever" is a sandcastle
A farewell is like a disaster cast
A morning greeted along with yearning
Let us both pass this eternity
Surely meet once more on this island
One part of the song that is repeated throughout is the phrase "forever young" and I immediately made the connection to the BTS album "The Most Beautiful Moment in Life: Young Forever". There is also a sense of longing in the song that I wanted to find elsewhere
In the end, I came away with quite a few ideas
One of the playlists I made revolving around this song, and the one I want to share, is called KR (Korean) #IUxSUGA Mix. I know, I'm so creative…This playlist is limited to (mainly) Korean songs that I felt fit the themes of eight and BTS collaborations featuring female musicians. So what songs does this playlist have?
1. Collaboration songs:
SUGA's Interlude by Halsey ft. SUGA
Song Request by Lee So Ra ft. SUGA
So Far Away by SUGA ft. SURAN
We Don't Talk Together by HEIZE & Giriboy (produced by SUGA)
Winter Flower by Younha ft RM
Wine by SURAN ft. Changmo (produced by SUGA)
Crying Over You by HONNE ft. RM & BEKA
Chicken Noodle Soup by J-Hope ft. Becky G
A Brand New Day by BTS & Zara Larsson
IDOL by BTS ft. Nicki Minaj
Out of this list, I felt that IDOL and Chicken Noodle Soup sound the most unlike the rest (they're more upbeat) but I really wanted to add most of the BTS and female musician songs there were. Again, I decided against ON ft. Sia, which is making me feel a bit guilty but…I wasn't a huge fan of the sound. If there are others I'm missing, let me know!
2. Songs by IU and SUGA
Interlude_dream, Reality by Agust D
Trivia: Seesaw by BTS (SUGA solo)
ugly duckling by IU
Gaeul Achim: Autumn morning by IU
Twenty-Three by IU
BBIBBI by IU
heart by IU
Interlude: Shadow by BTS (SUGA solo)
Picking out what songs to add that were made by SUGA was easy. I already had other playlists focused around his music and aside from his Agust D mixtape, he didn't have many solos. Of course, there are many songs by him that I didn't add. I picked out the ones I felt sounded the most like eight (ie. I felt The Last would make the playlist jarring but Interlude_dream, reality had that soft vibe) and then told myself it was ok to add Interlude: Shadow because IU mentioned a shadow in eight…Out of the bunch, I do think Shadow is the most unlike the others, especially later in the song when the beat changes
My problem lay with IU. I didn't know who she was so I'd never listened to her music. So what did I do? I went through her Spotify profile and randomly picked out some songs (by their title) that I felt would fit the eight theme. I listened to them and if they didn't catch my interest in the first few seconds, I moved on. I ended up picking out five songs. Actually, my plan is to go back and check out her music to pick out some more tracks (eventually). Her music is interesting. All of the tracks I checked out sound so different from each other and I like the variety
3. The themes from eight
Autumn Leaves by BTS
Epilogue: Young Forever by BTS
Spring Day by BTS
Intro: The Most Beautiful Moment in Life by BTS
Butterfly by BTS
Falling Leaves Are Beautiful by HEIZE
This was the part I was lacking in. I really wanted to find tracks by some of the other artists under the collaborations but considering I made this playlist in a few hours, I didn't have the time to explore much. I mainly chose songs from The Most Beautiful Moment in Life BTS album, especially since they had that melancholy feel I was searching for (but also to get that "forever young" phrase repeating outside of eight)
The playlist is just short of 3 hours but I like having each song repeat at least one other time. With this playlist I listen to eight 12 times and the majority of the other songs at least twice. Once I get to exploring some other tracks I'll be adjusting how often a track appears on the list. But what do you guys think? How did I do?
I also have another playlist that focuses on eight called ML (Multi-Lingual) #IUxSUGA Mix. I was hoping to show you all the tracks for this one too but this post was getting long (unless you guys want me to?). Instead, I'll just leave the link and let you all know it contains songs in Korean, English, French, and Italian. I wanted to add some tracks in Japanese but the problem of having so many languages is that 3 hours becomes such a tight space. I think I'll just make a third playlist that's as long as I want (I think my longest is some 8 hours, the one I would use at my job). And I'll definitely add more languages to that one!
p.s. I wrote this post before D-2 came out so none of SUGA's new songs were added to this playlist (yet)

Why Grimsby Town fans should get excited by Erico Sousa and John McAtee ahead of new season
The pair caught the eye against Rotherham United, and Paul Hurst believes they could have the makings of fans favourites in the new season

They might be in the early stages of their time at Blundell Park, but Grimsby Town fans have already been shown why they should be excited about Erico Sousa and John McAtee.
That's according to boss Paul Hurst after the attacking pair caught the eye for the Mariners in their latest run-out ahead of the new season.
Plenty of supporters were singing the praises of Portuguese winger Sousa after his display against Rotherham United as he was handed his first start of pre-season, having scored against Mansfield just a few days' previous.

The former Darlington flyer wasted no time in showing exactly what he'll look to bring to Town as they return to the National League, racing ahead of the Millers' defence to try and latch onto a delicious ball over the top from Harry Clifton.
And he carried on in the same manner throughout the game, with every meaningful chance the Mariners created involving Sousa, whether he was creating or looking to supply the finish.
A former product of Manchester City's academy, there's clearly a lot of potential in the 26-year-old that hasn't quite come to the fore over the years, but after catching the eye with Darlington last season, Hurst hopes he can continue in the same vein.
"I don't want to single too many people out, but there were certainly times when he picked the ball up and showed he will get fans excited and get them off their seats," Hurst told GrimsbyLive.
"With Erico, I don't want to take away the thought of getting at players and beating them, just sometimes it's that final decision making, when to perhaps release it a little bit quicker at times.
Erico Sousa impressed on his first start for Grimsby Town against Rotherham United (Image: Jon Corken)
"But he's a player with lots of ability. There's a long way to go obviously, we're not even into the season, but you can at least see why we've brought the player to the football club.
"I think he's loving life being full-time. He's a relatively quiet lad, but I think quite popular already within the group, and he could easily become a fans' favourite."
As for McAtee, there was certainly a sense that Town had pulled off something of a coup when his arrival was announced earlier this summer.
It wasn't too long ago that the 22-year-old was being talked up for a move to the Premier League, with Newcastle United reported to have been showing an interest in him.
With his contract running out at Scunthorpe United at the end of the 2020/21 campaign, he was offered a new deal to try and keep him at Glanford Park, although interest from the EFL always meant it was going to be a tall order for the Iron to keep hold of him.

What they perhaps didn't expect was for McAtee to make the step down to the National League, although the relationship with Hurst and his assistant Chris Doig clearly played a big part, having worked with them at Scunthorpe and Shrewsbury previously.
Making the move down the M180 was never going to prove popular with his former club, and there were Iron fans trying to put doubts into their rivals' minds as they questioned his work rate.
If Saturday's performance was anything to go by though, Hurst looks as though he knows how to get the most out of McAtee – so much so that he had to bring himself off midway through the second half.

"He was cramping up, which I think is understandable, he really put a shift in," Hurst said.
"I have to say, there was one piece of skill he did in the middle of the pitch that I'm not quite sure if some of the fans quite had the angle to realise what he'd done, but it was an excellent piece of play.
"Again, I thought at times he showed what he's about. I was delighted to get him to come here, because there were other options in the Football League, but that relationship that we've got with myself and Chris made a difference.
"He'll only get better. He'll get fitter, he'll get stronger, and ability-wise, even in training at the minute he's showing he's a very good finisher, and you can certainly expect to see him on the scoresheet in the coming season."

I do most of my text manipulation in vim. This includes both writing documents and writing code. It's cumbersome for me to use windows-based editors, let alone use WordPress WYSWYG editors from a browser. I'd rather keep things in nicely organized text files. It would be best to write all my documents in a structured format, which can then be easily translated to other formats such as HTML, Latex, PDF, etc..
Enter reStructuredText. reStructuredText is the main documentation framework for Python, and it converts readable marked-up text documents into myriad of formats. The main engine behind this is Python's docutils.
It's also important for me to be able to highlight syntax in my documents. However, getting it working was the most tricky part.
The latest version of Docutils should support syntax highlighting via code directive. However, I didn't like their default highlight colors. We can change that after we install some packages.
Now, if you don't care much about syntax highlight colors generated, you can skip this step. But if you want to modify the colors, read on.
This command generates style components that will be sprinkled in the processed html document. You will have to tell rst2html that you are using the 'short' highlight format, which is the names that Pygments use for highlights.
To make things a bit more confusing, rst2pdf uses a different, non-standard directive to do syntax highlighting. For more info, refer to this link.
You first need to find where the default html styles are located. In addition to the html stylesheet, You will supply an additional stylesheet to be used for syntax highlighting.
Here, the argument short denotes that it wants pygment's short naming convention for css classes. Also notice that we are supplying comma separated list of css files, where mystyle.css exists in the same working directory as our .rst file.
Thanks for the feedback. Where do you find "Custom Markdown Processor"? This mechanism assumes that you have docutils installed on the same server that runs WordPress. If you have no admin privileges on the server, you will need a different way of uploading ReST docs to your wordpress.

2018.05.13. was Mother's Day. My boyfriend and I took his mother for mother's breakfast. Our original plan was going to The Cora Breakfast by 9 am. But, when we arrived at the restaurant, it had a huge line up already. So, we had to change our plan to somewhere else for breakfast. There is breakfast place called Ricky's all day grill, which is located on 130 Ave as well, is right across the street from The Cora Breakfast. Ricky's All Day Grill is the same style restaurant as IHOP and The Core. It mainly serves Breakfast, and it has some locations across Canada. I had been to Ricky once in Surrey Center, BC. before. It had very excellent customer services there. After discussed with each other, we decided to have a try at Ricky's All Day Grill.
We arrived the restaurant quarter after 9 am. Interestingly, Ricky's All Day Grill was not busy at all. We found a table and sat down right the way after we arrived. The server lady put us down to the table right beside the door. When we asked her to sit another table inside the restaurant, she was totally negotiating us. So, we had to sit down the table right beside the door.
After that, she brought us the menu and drinks, we began to take a look at the menu. Then, she came back to take the order for so long. The items on the menu were the similar stuffs to Ihop and The Cora. Mommy and I have ordered the same thing. Both of us ordered Quick Commute, which includes 1 egg with 2 strips of maple bacon, shredded hashbrowns and the slice of toast. Besides that, mommy had her morning die Pepsi and I ordered an extra Waffle. My boyfriend had Two by Five for his meal, which includes 2 eggs, 2 sausage links, 2 strips of maple bacon, 2 fluffy buttermilk pancakes and French toasts.
After waited about 15 mins long, our food came out of the kitchen finally. All the food were well cooked and tasty. I like the extra waffle more. It was sweet and taste delicious. The hash browns were well done too. We have finished all the food. We did not know what happened, maybe the food was not very clean or we ate too much. After few mins, three of us all felt not good and had to go to the bathroom.
I donot think we will come back to this restaurant for breakfast again.

Detailing AcuraWatch's safety features and driver-assistance technology
When it comes to any Acura model, safety is as important as the engineering and stylistic features that often take the spotlight of a new release.
Through advancing research and technology, Acura is consistently pushing the boundary of what it means to be safe and secure behind the wheel, ultimately creating a zero-collision society with their lineup of SUVs and cars.
Introducing AcuraWatch, the manufacturer's standard safety package that's powered by the radar unit housed within the vehicle's grille and a high-resolution camera mounted behind the windshield. The combination of these two systems provides drivers with a set of advanced driver assistance systems, including lane-keeping assistance, collision warning and braking, and speed and distance maintenance.
span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the key features of the AcuraWatch system is the Forward Collision Warning System, which automatically provides drivers with audio and visual cues moments before a collision is predicted, allowing them to take immediate corrective action. If no reaction is detected, the Collision Mitigation Braking System will apply the brakes automatically.
During travel, the Adaptive Cruise Control allows drivers the freedom of a maintained speed between 30 and 150 km/h, automatically adjusting speed and braking to hold a desired speed and follow adjacent vehicles from a safe distance. Many Acura models will additionally come to a halt with traffic from speeds under 30 km/h, the exception being the Acura ILX, which does not include this feature.
AcuraWatch additionally includes the Lane Keeping Assist System which autonomously analyses road markings and detects a lane change through the use of turn signals. If the vehicle unexpectedly drifts from the current lane, a merge is conducted without a signal or the lane is obstructed, the system will alert the driver to take action and will steer the vehicle back into the centre of the lane. Road Departure Mitigation also assures the vehicle remains on the pavements, applying the brakes in critical situations.
AcuraWatch and its systems are currently available in all Acura SUV and sedan models. Acura owners can additionally opt in and out of select features. Soon, the introduction of the 2022 TLX sedan will add a Driver Monitoring System, a Traffic-Sign Recognition System, and Traffic-Jam Assistance to the AcuraWatch features list.

When HB Fenn, a leader in the hockey book genre, declared bankruptcy earlier in 2011, hockey fans had the right to be concerned.
But there is great news to report this week - Jordan Fenn has joined McLelland and Stewart, and he's bringing his focus on the hockey market.
"On Wednesday it was announced that Jordan Fenn is joining McClelland and Stewart as publisher of a joint Fenn/McClelland & Stewart imprint, which will focus on hockey books.
The first book to be published by the imprint is the 2011 NHL Stanley Cup Championship book, to be released in June."
Here's more from The National Post.


This little critter is the most poisonous jellyfish in the deep. Its nematocysts hold the most fatal venom, which goes for the cardiovascular and the nervous system. The worst part is the accompanying pain. On a couple of occasions it has been described as unbearable and overbearing. Treating with vinegar has been considered as a first aid measure, but there is only so much it can do, because with the pain, it does nothing to alleviate it. Statistically speaking, without immediate treatment, the chances of survival of a box jellyfish sting are slim to none, especially for someone with a weak heart.
There are times when king is not used to cite the deadliness of the creature, but rather its size. Size always comes as a form of superiority in the animal kingdom, and with the jellyfish, its no exception.

Willard Leon Sojourner (September 10, 1948 – October 20, 2005) was an American collegiate and professional basketball player and international coach. He played collegiately at Weber State University and went on to a professional career, winning a championship with the New York Nets and playing overseas. The Italian arena PalaSojourner is named in his honor. Sojorner is known for giving his friend and teammate Julius Erving his famous "Dr. J." nickname. He is the older brother of NBA player Mike Sojourner.

Early life
Willard Leon Sojourner was born on September 10, 1948, to George and Dorothy Sojourner, one of their eleven children.

Sojourner attended Germantown High School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he didn't play basketball until his senior year. Until his senior year, Sojourner had concentrated on swimming and track. Eventually, his father and the high school basketball coach both encouraged Willie to give up competitive swimming to concentrate on basketball because of his size. He was a medalist in the backstroke and butterfly in swimming and a talented high jumper in track. Because of his basketball inexperience, Sojourner wasn't highly recruited by colleges.

College career (1968–71)
Recruited to Weber State University by Coach Dick Motta, Sojourner's basketball career at Weber State was record setting. He set Big Sky Conference records in scoring and rebounding, leading the Wildcats to three consecutive Big Sky Conference titles and three straight NCAA Tournament invitations.

He arrived in Ogden, Utah for the 1967–68 season under Coach Motta. Freshmen were not allowed to play NCAA varsity basketball at that time, so Sojourner played the 1967–1968 season with the Wildcat freshman team.

In 1968–1969, as a sophomore, Sojourner averaged 18.9 points and 13.1 rebounds as Weber State finished 27-3 under Coach Phil Johnson, as Dick Motta left Weber to become Head Coach of the Chicago Bulls. The Wildcats captured the Big Sky Conference title and qualified for the 1969 NCAA University Division basketball tournament, where they defeated Seattle 75–73, behind Sojourner's 22 points and 12 rebounds. They lost to Santa Clara 64–59 in overtime in the West Regional Semi-Final, as Sojourner had 12 points with 18 rebounds. Weber State then defeated New Mexico State in the West Regional 3rd Place game 58–56, as Sojourner had12 points and 11 rebounds.

In 1969–1970, Sojourner led the Wildcats to the Big Sky Conference title, averaging 21.2 points. Weber State lost in the First Round to Long Beach State and Coach Jerry Tarkanian 92–73 in the 1970 NCAA University Division basketball tournament, with Sojourner having 13 points and 9 rebounds.

In his senior season of 1970–1971, Weber State finished 21-6 and earned their third straight Big Sky Conference Championship, led by Sojourner's 17.8 points and 13.6 rebounds. Again, Weber State was matched up against Long Beach State and Coach Tarkanian, losing 77–66 in the First Round of the 1971 NCAA University Division basketball tournament. Sojourner had 9 points and 10 rebounds in his final college game.

Overall Sojourner had career totals of 1,563 points and 1,143 rebounds in 81 career games for averages of 19.3 points and 14.1 rebounds. he shot 51.7% from the floor and 72.%1 from the line. His point and rebound totals were Big Sky records at the time. He still ranks second in total rebounds and first in career rebounding average at Weber State, with 14.1 per game.

NCAA Track and Field
A versatile athlete, Sojourner competed in track and field at Weber State. He placed 3rd in the 1970 NCAA Men's Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships, with a high jump of 7'0". In doing so, he became Weber State's first NCAA All-American athlete.

Professional career
Sojourner was selected in the second round of the 1971 NBA draft by the Chicago Bulls. He was also selected the Virginia Squires of the American Basketball Association as their 1st Round pick (#8 overall) in the 1971 ABA Draft. Sojourner signed with Virginia and played for the ABA  Squires in (1971-1973) and New York Nets (1973-1975).

Virginia Squires (1971-1973)
As a rookie, Sojourner averaged 6.8 points and 6.1 rebounds for the Squires, playing in all 84 games, alongside teammates Julius Erving and Charlie Scott. Virginia finished 45-39 under Coach Al Bianchi.

In 1972–1973, Sojourner averaged 7.5 points and 5.7 rebounds for the 42-42 Squires. He played alongside Squires rookie George Gervin.

New York Nets (1973-1975)

In a blockbuster trade, with the Squires franchise struggling, on October 20, 1973, Sojourner was traded to the Nets with Julius Erving for George Carter and cash. Sojourner and Erving were roommates on the road, the best man in each other's weddings and Sojourner dubbed Erving with the nickname "Dr. J".

With Erving starring, and Sojourner contributing 5.6 points and 4.7 rebounds, the Nets finished 55-29 and defeated the Squires (4-1) and Kentucky Colonels (4-0) in the playoffs. Facing the Utah Stars in the ABA Finals, the Nets won the series 4–1 to capture the 1974 ABA Championship under Coach Kevin Loughery.

In 1974–1975, Sojourner averaged 4.6 points and 3.5 rebounds in 79 games as the Nets finished 58–26. The Nets upset by the Spirits of St. Louis in the playoffs. Sojourner was cut by the Nets after the season.

Overall, In his ABA career Sojourner scored 1968 points (6.0 ppg) with 1488 rebounds (4.8 rpg) in 309 games.

Sojournor's individual ABA highlights include: 6 points in his debut on October 15, 1971, vs. Carolina. He had 25 points vs. the Kentucky Colonels on October 27, 1971; 26 points vs. the San Diego Conquistadors on December 2, 1972; 26 points vs. the Carolina Cougars on January 27, 1974; and 18 vs the Denver Nuggets on February 27. 1975. In his last ABA game, he scored 11 in a playoff loss to the Spirits of St. Louis on 4/15/1975.

Sojourner was waived by the Nets at the start of the 1975–76 season.  Sojourner had not played much during the preseason and the Nets, who also had centers Swen Nater and Kim Hughes on the roster chose not to keep three centers.

Lancaster Red Roses (1975-1976)

Playing for the Lancaster Red Roses of the Continental Basketball Association in 1975–76, Sojourner was the CBA Playoff Most Valuable Player, leading Lancaster to the league title.

Italy (1976-1983)

Sebastiani (1976-1982)
In 1976, American scout Richard Percudani scouted Sojourner and his brother Mike Sojourner for the Italian basketball team AMG Sebastiani Basket Rieti. Attilio Pasquetti and Italo Di Fazi, Sebastiani's team and general managers, initially looked to acquire  Mike Sojourner, but he had signed with the Atlanta Hawks. They then spoke to Willie, who signed to play in Italy. Sojourner moved to Rieti, in central Italy, and began play in Lega Basket Serie A.

Thanks to rules which greatly restricted transfers of foreign players, Sojourner remained with Sebastiani for six years, until 1982. In his six seasons playing in Rieti, Sojourner gained the nickname of "uncle Willie." He became the leader of Sebastiani, playing with Cliff Meely, Lee Johnson, Irv Kiffin and Tony Zeno among others. Sebastiani played twice in the Scudetto semifinals and twice in the Korać Cup finals. They won the 1979–80 Korać Cup. Sojourner mentored younger players such as Roberto Brunamonti and Domenico Zampolini.

Perugia (1982-1983)
After leaving the Sebastiani in 1982, Sojourner played one more year in Italy. He joined Perugia's team, playing in the 1982–83 season, before retiring.

Overall, Sojourner scored 4,799 points in Serie A. He is considered to be one of the best American basketball players ever in the Italian league.

Personal
After his Italian retirement, Sojourner returned to the USA.

In 2005, Nuova AMG Sebastiani Basket Rieti (formerly AMG Sebastiani) offered Sojourner their youth team coaching position. Sojourner was unsure and went to Rieti. When he arrived in Rieti on September 15, 2005, he was welcomed warmly by fans and decided to accept the position.

Sojourner was just over a month into the position when, on night of October 19, 2005, Sojourner was killed in car accident. He was returning to his home near Rieti when, due to rain and high speed, he lost control of his car which crashed into a tree.

His funeral took place inside the Palaloniano, Sebastiani's  basketball arena, officiated by the bishop of Rieti Delio Lucarelli. Thousands of mourners attended.

One month after his death, Palaloniano was renamed PalaSojourner in his honor. The November 18, 2005 memorial ceremony was attended by Sojourner's family and friend Julius Erving.

Honors
 Sojouner was the 1976 CBA Playoffs Most Valuable Player.
 In 1990, Sojouner was inducted to the Weber State Athletic Hall of Fame.
 The Rieti,Italy arena, where Sojourner had starred, was renamed the PalaSojourner in his honor in 2005.
 In 2013, Sojouner was named to the Big Sky Conference "50 Greatest Male Athletes" in 50 years of the conference.
 Sojouner's #35 jersey was retired by Weber State University in 2015. He became the first Weber State player to have his number retired.

Toronto (and Ontario) need to broaden thinking on recycling - Toronto Star
Posted by TEA Staff 5sc on July 21, 2018
Star Editorial Board
What's so neat about the waste management industry is its blend of the old — packaging and water bottles — and the aspirational — government rules that require plastic bottles be recycled as, plastic bottles. Or nylon carpet reincarnated as more nylon carpet.
It's a circular use of materials that can smartly limit the endless extraction of resources, like natural gas and oil, while also creating economic benefits for businesses that give their products new life.
Toronto needs to think of long-term as it develops new recycling policies. (RON BULL *P66 N/A / TORONTO STAR)
If only these were the current standards, here in Ontario.
Without strong rules to keep producers focused on high-end recycling, it can all go downhill, literally, into landfill.
Unfortunately for citizens who dutifully wash and sort their blue bin recyclables, that is often Toronto's experience.
As a result, 28 per cent of the 165,000 tonnes collected in residential blue bins last year ended up in landfill, a mix of paper destroyed by mayonnaise or ketchup left in recyclable jars or black plastics that Toronto doesn't currently recycle.
That's a shame for the environment, not to mention the loss of lucrative business opportunities.
On Monday, Toronto council is scheduled to vote on moving forward with a plan to seek solutions for the contamination: food, single-use plastics and blue-bin interlopers like clothing, that get twisted in machinery.
Council should vote to create a new plan.
But moving forward with its development, the city must adopt solutions based on wisdom and facts. We don't need a series of knee-jerk product bans but future-looking policies. The city needs to move towards the best of what's possible in recycling, not just the easiest. That means listening to industry ideas for innovation and to environmentalists, who've watched other jurisdictions successfully adopt intelligent plans.
As Emily Alfred of the Toronto Environmental Alliance says, it's best to avoid rash recycling decisions or outright product bans. Most bans result in exemptions anyway, such as plastic drinking straws allowed for use by hospitals and people with disabilities.
Alfred's organization is rightly pushing Toronto to examine the merits of new programs in American cities, such as deposit-return options on take-out food containers. Another suggestion requires companies to take back their packaging — which is exactly the type of thing envisioned by the Waste Free Ontario Act.
That legislation, now in political limbo, was created by the previous Liberal government, to drive "extended producer responsibility." That's something that governments in Canada have long talked about but still struggle to move forward with.
The Ontario legislation would force producers to take responsibility for the items they make — including packaging. It took years of consultation to get it passed and the transition of some programs, like tire recycling, is already underway. But, crucially, the blue bin changes were not implemented before the election.
Now, it falls to the new Progressive Conservative government to help cities like Toronto by paying attention to the business of recycling.
After all, forcing producers to recycle their own products, would remove substantial costs from the taxpayer. In 2017, the net costs for Toronto's blue bin recycling was $30 million. Imagine saving Torontonians that much money. Now that's respect for the taxpayer.
By moving forward with the legislation, Ontario would force the private sector to innovate. Experts say the "circular economy" that transforms the old into new, will create businesses and jobs — a winning combination that deserves support.
It's not at all clear that Ontario's freshly-named Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks sees that.
In a statement, the ministry said it is "committed to having clean communities by reducing garbage in our neighbourhoods and parks and doing more to prevent litter. The government has signalled its commitment to developing a plan for environmental issues affecting Ontario and has indicated those details are forthcoming."
One might conclude that Toronto taxpayers will have to continue to pay to pick up after producers.
So far, Toronto has been trying to educate the public with an ad campaign on what belongs in blue bins. Still, confused or uninterested residents continue to contaminate recycling materials — commodities with a market value — by tossing in food and clothing.
These are serious problems that downgrade the value of recyclables.
But council must also find a way to deal with the new items that come along, such as the ubiquitous black plastics now widely used by grocery stores. While the technology exists to sort black plastic, the city says its volumes are so high that it must be sorted manually, instead of mechanically, which is not cost effective.
These plastics — along with whatever gets invented next — must be part of the discussion.
Until the Ontario government announces how it plans to deal with extended producer responsibility, Toronto must plot its own recycling future. The report on exactly how that will be done is expected in the fall but the city must ensure it takes the time to get it right. Haste makes, well, more trips to the landfill.

Self-Expression Essay - I used this essay for one of my two college admission essays for the University of Maryland. My admission status has not yet been determined.
'Seek the fashion which truly fits and befits you. You will always be in fashion if you are true to yourself, and only if you are true to yourself. You might, of course, rightly wear that style which is emblazoned on the fashion magazines of the day, or you might not.' - Maya Angelou.
Other than fashion, what medium(s) do you choose for self-expression and why?
Self-expression and setting oneself apart from the crowd are both very important. Developing a unique personality requires the ability to express one's individuality and creativity. This being said, I participate in activities that set me apart from the crowd and allow me to express my ideas. I have found my "self-expression mediums" in literature and the culinary arts.
Since the age of ten, I have loved writing prose and feel the urge to write whenever I am upset, saddened or overjoyed. Once my emotions pour onto paper, I am at peace, whether I am writing a poem or a short story. It puts me at ease to know I have something other than my voice to express my feelings to those around me. I am able to express myself more eloquently through writing than while speaking. Furthermore, I can describe my feelings and transition between emotions more fluidly with prose.
into cooking as I do my writing. Any bad feelings I may harbor throughout the day are thrust into the new sauce I am perfecting or the vegetables I may be cutting. For me, cooking is a mindless activity of sorts, in the sense that I can take my mind off of the troubles of the day whatever they may be, and concentrate on making that next meal better than the last.
I am able to forget about the outside world, for however brief a time it may be, and focus on nothing other than my cooking or writing. I believe the means of self-expression one chooses greatly shapes and defines their personality, as much as the person defines their medium of self-expression. Thus, I believe that my cooking and writing not only reflect the creative person that I am and strive to be, I am a compilation of the creativity that my writing and cooking inspires.
Thank you Jadé for sharing your college admission essay. We hope you were accepted to the college of your choice. Best of luck to you.
Many people view life as a movie, a calendar of events, a book, or even as a timeline. However, seeing as I was raised amongst a family where a favorite past time is baking, I view life as a recipe. Baking has always been a part of my family, whether for holidays, birthdays, or just because we feel like baking. Baking has helped me transition into new situations, especially high school in Palm Desert and the many leadership opportunities high school has presented.
Combine flour, sugar, freshman year, eighty new kids, and a brand new school. Xavier was a new experience for me - I was not used to the mob of kids, the hard classes, or the clubs and activities that were offered. Leadership is highly emphasized at Xavier; however, I never thought I would actually want to take part in activities, clubs, or student council. But later found that to be incorrect. My first experience of leadership was taking part in yearbook my freshman year. I volunteered to take pictures of the spring sports; I set up my own times to go to practices, picked up the school camera, and found my own transportation. All I wanted to do was take pictures. I never knew that would transfer into a passion that I would pursue for two more years.
Beat in eggs, vanilla extract, sophomore year and another chance at continuing my passion until creamy. Yearbook sophomore year was even better than freshman year. I was in charge of putting together layouts, gathering pictures, and I had to make sure everything was done by the deadline. Yearbook was a struggle and I learned that time management was a key factor in getting everything done. My first published yearbook gave me the confidence to continue on with other leadership projects.
Add junior year and another great challenge, mix on high speed. My Girl Scout troop and I were presented with the opportunity to help a non-profit organization called Angels' Closet during my sophomore year. Yet, it became more of a priority during my junior year. Angels' Closet provides clothes to high school students that are in need of new clothes. I found myself always thinking of ways to help and donate. Angels' Closet meant so much to me that I wanted to go out and tell everyone about my experience. There was always something that needed to be done, whether it was steaming and folding clothes, putting together displays, or starting fund-raisers. Angels' Closet found a helper in me and it helped me realized that I wanted to do more at school. I got involved in leading retreats, tutoring, immersion trips, and assisting at a summer school. Each of these things offered new experiences that led me to senior year and many more activities.
Add chocolate chips and with a wooden spoon, fold in senior year, retreats, and student council. Senior year has proved to be my busiest year. I am taking part in leading retreats, I find myself involved in four different student government councils, and I am still engaged in Angels' Closet. With each different activity, time management and communication keep me on my toes. I want to lead others, not just to tell them to do things, but to show them that they can make a difference.
Shape into cookies and place on a baking sheet. Bake until golden. Leadership involves hard work and a lot of time. I have had to sacrifice social time to fulfill the obligations I have made. Leadership is much like baking – you combine activities and time to get an end result that can be either expected or the total opposite. The two common ingredients in every recipe are work and time. We have to work towards being a leader. We must have patience and remember that our leadership skills aren't going to show right away. Being involved keeps me on my toes, and when things don't work out, I wipe my hands clean and start again in hope of great things to come. Now, remove the cookies from the oven, cool and serve with a cold glass of milk and be proud of what you have accomplished.
Thank you for sharing your creative recipe about life. I love it! Good luck to you.
